In Gulf has the warship to make the stance of landing, in the rivers has the warship to swim against the stream...... Siprus to be in a dilemma, only hates Scylletium is a small town, the citizen soldier are too few, if wants Gu Dong on being able to attend to west. But he makes the decision finally: Sends out 2000 people in the north bank fast tracing enemy ship, preventing him from landing in the north bank. 海湾里有战船做出登陆的架势,河流里有战船逆流而上……西普洛斯左右为难,只恨西里庭是个小城,公民兵太少,要想顾东就顾不了西。但他最终还是作出决定:派出2000人在北岸快速追踪敌船,阻止其在北岸登陆。 When the army when sends out leads the way to two river junctions, they have to detour, because here Amato river trend is from north to south, happen to keeps off in front of them, moreover is unable to wade to cross river, they can only detour to north. 但是当派出的部队前行至两河汇合处时,他们不得不绕行了,因为此处拉马托河走向是从北向南,正好挡在他们前面,而且无法步涉过河,他们只能向北绕行。 While this opportunity, the Syracuse warship by to flowed in Amato river east bank of Ta River , Quer from south, in fact at this time sailors, because has gone all out to row, is exhausted, the soldier on ship makes the best use of the time to come ashore. 趁此机会,锡拉库扎的战船靠向了从南流入拉马托河的科尔塔河东岸,实际上此时水手们因为一直拼命划桨,已经精疲力尽,船上的士兵抓紧时间上岸。 But at this time Dionysius had not finished to army formation nearly one hour is dissatisfied, the primary cause has the following army to rush unceasingly, he ordered immediately: Does not need to wait, army attack! 而此时狄奥尼修斯已经对军队列阵近一个小时还没有完毕感到不满,主要原因是不断有后续的部队赶到,他当即下令:不用等待,全军进攻！ The exhausted Syracuse soldier steps into the icy cold Cortat river, the Scylletium person to opposite shore arranges line of defense that to kill. 疲惫的锡拉库扎士兵踏入冰凉的科尔塔河,向对岸的西里庭人布置的防线杀去。 Although the Scylletium person the population are few, line of defense is frail, but they conserve strength, in the physical strength had the overwhelming superiority, suddenly makes the Syracuse army soak unexpectedly in the river can not the little advance. 西里庭人虽然人数少,防线单薄,但他们养精蓄锐,体力上占据了绝对优势,一时间竟使得锡拉库扎的大军泡在河里不得寸进。 On these four li (0.5 km) long winding sections, Scylletium person to defend own homeland battles at risk of life, was they about four times of Syracuse armies slaughtered for a half hour with the population, the entire river water was dyed blood red...... 在这四里多长的蜿蜒河段上,西里庭人为了保卫自己的家园拼死作战,与人数是他们近四倍的锡拉库扎军队厮杀了半个多小时,整条河水都被染成血红…… Until the Syracuse soldier of landing catches up from the west, attacks the Scylletium array the flank, the Scylletium talent starts the morale of troops to vacillate, finally rout...... 直到登陆的锡拉库扎士兵从西面赶来,攻击西里庭阵列的侧翼,西里庭人才开始军心动摇,最终溃败…… Dionysius grew the tone: He commands the army to break through line of defense of south intent Allied armies finally, entered the smooth broad European and African Mia aircraft plain peripheral zone...... 狄奥尼修斯长出了口气:他终于率军突破南意联军的防线,进入了平坦宽阔的欧非米亚平原边缘地带…… But this time Syracuse soldiers are the tired soldiers and worn-out horses, is incapable of pursuing the routed troop again. 但此时的锡拉库扎士兵们已经是人困马乏,无力再追击溃兵。 Temporary camp that Dionysius after seizing the Scylletium person discarded, ordered the army recuperation. 狄奥尼修斯在占领了西里庭人丢弃的临时营地后,就下令军队就地休整。 .............................. ………………………… Has rushed to Terry Kerner Petija army that quickly after receiving the Syracuse army had crossed the news of Cortat river, having a big shock Asistes promptly leads the team to return, simultaneously sends people to explain the reason to Terina. 已经快赶到特里娜的克纳佩提亚军队在收到锡拉库扎大军已经渡过科尔塔河的消息后,大惊失色的亚西斯特斯当机立断率队回返,同时派人向特里纳说明缘由。 By afternoon, the Crotone reinforcements rushed to Scylletium. 到了下午,克罗托内的援军才匆匆赶到西里庭。 Scylletium chief general Prey Thinis and powwow high level, not only to once mother-state and arrival of original hegemon army has not extended welcome, instead accuses their long in coming, causing the Syracuse person to seize north bank of Ta River , Quer, making the Scylletium city fall into the dangerous situation. 西里庭的首席将军普雷提尼斯及议事会高层不但没有对曾经的母邦、原来的盟主军队的到来表示欢迎,反而指责他们姗姗来迟,致使锡拉库扎人占领了科尔塔河北岸,让西里庭城陷入危险境地。 Lancet Camas and other Crotone general facing accusation, without argument, because the situation truly arrived at danger. 阿斯卡马斯及其他克罗托内将领面对指责,没有辩解,因为局势确实到了危险的境地。 .............................. ………………………… By evening. Flying that north comes rode to tread to break the silence of Theonia military compound, Epiphanes and Drakos receives dispatching of messenger, rushed to the big tent/account. 到了傍晚。北面来的飞骑踏破了戴奥尼亚军营的寂静,埃皮忒尼斯和德拉科斯接到传令兵的急讯,匆匆赶到大帐。 „Two legatus, I just received the Scylletium urgent report, the Syracuse person broke through Cortat river line of defense, entered the Scylletium territory.” Philesius look stern saying. “两位军团长,我刚接到西里庭的急报,锡拉库扎人突破了科尔塔河防线,进入了西里庭的领地。”斐利修斯神色严峻的说道。 „I have said that these city-state armies of south intent Union are unreliable!” Epiphanes spat a phlegm toward the ground angrily: „Harmed us to win a battle here white/in vain!” “我早就说过,南意同盟的那些城邦军队不可靠！”埃皮忒尼斯愤然地往地上吐了口痰:“害我们在这里白打胜仗了！” „How many people does the Syracuse army have in Scylletium?” Drakos urgently asked. “锡拉库扎军队有多少人在西里庭？”德拉科斯急问。 „According to the letter/believes that in Scylletium transmitted said that over 50,000 people.” Feely Hughes takes up the letter on table, Drakos has snatched, launches looks. Must know when he is the mercenaries leader is an illiterate person, for these years in order to commanded the regiment, understood «Military law», military order, he attended the adult study class of Thurii school specially, the learn/study was quite assiduous, has made rapid progress, understood the letter is not a problem. “据西里庭传来的信中说,超过5万人。”菲利修斯拿起桌上的信件,德拉科斯一把抢过,展开就看。要知道他当雇佣军首领时还是个文盲,这几年为了能统率军团,看懂《军法》、军令,他专门参加了图里伊学校的成人学习班,学习相当刻苦,进步很快,看懂信件已经不成问题。 „More than 50,000 people?!” When Epiphanes calls out in alarm, immediately thinks: „This explained that the weight of attack of Syracuse person that side West coast, here army diverts us.” “5万多人？！”埃皮忒尼斯惊呼之余,立刻就想到了:“这说明锡拉库扎人的攻击重点都在西海岸那边,这里的军队不过是牵制住我们的。” „It seems like the situation is this......” Philesius expression tranquil nod, cannot judge promptly for oneself Dionysius intention, in the heart slightly is also depressed. “看来情况是这样……”斐利修斯表情平静的点头,为自己未能及时判断出狄奥尼修斯的意图,心中也略显沮丧。 „The Scylletium person requests us to withdraw Scylletium in the letter/believes immediately, with them about the soldier in the same place, resists the Syracuse army together.” Drakos looks to two people. “西里庭人在信中要求我们立刻撤回西里庭,与他们合兵在一起,共同对抗锡拉库扎大军。”德拉科斯看向两人。 „In fact, Sir Ansitanos also writes a letter to suggest that we retreat Scylletium.” Philesius pulled out a letter/believes. “事实上,安西塔诺斯大人也写信来建议我们撤退回西里庭。”斐利修斯又掏出了一封信。 „Besides retreating Scylletium, we also has other road to elect?” Epiphanes shrugs: „If continues to defend here, the ignores Syracuse person beats other union city-state armies on the Eufemia plain, makes them capture the Scylletium city again, our these 20,000 people really became the fish in net.” “除了撤退到西里庭,我们还有别的路可选吗？”埃皮忒尼斯耸耸肩:“如果继续在这里守下去,放任锡拉库扎人在欧费米亚平原上击溃其他同盟城邦的军队,再让他们夺取西里庭城的话,我们这两万人就就真成了网里的鱼了。” Feely Hughes sighed: „Does this, perhaps Caulonia troubled......” 菲利修斯叹了口气:“只是这样做,考伦尼亚恐怕就麻烦了……” Must know to let the Theonian relieved defense, the Caulonia person provides sumptuous food to them every day, after the daytime repels the attack of enemy, on Caulonia to the powwow, under to the civilians goes out of town, expressed gratitude to them, and must holds the banquets and to send the wine for Theonia legatus and commander to the soldiers...... wait/etc, Philesius had stipulation on the grounds of «Theonian Military Law», declined the good intention of Caulonia person, but each Theonia officers felt their gratitude and great kindness of Caulonia. 要知道为了让戴奥尼亚人安心的防御,考伦尼亚人每一天都给他们提供丰盛的食物,在白天击退敌人的进攻后,考伦尼亚上至议事会、下至平民纷纷出城,向他们表示感谢,并且还要为戴奥尼亚军团长和指挥官举行宴会、给士兵们送来葡萄酒……等等,斐利修斯以《戴奥尼亚军法》有规定为由,谢绝了考伦尼亚人的好意,但是每一个戴奥尼亚将士都感觉到了考伦尼亚对他们的感激和盛情。 Three people silent a while, Drakos helpless saying: „Situation, we do not have the means that only wants Hades to bless, making Caulonia defend own homeland, when our concentration of effort repelled the Syracuse person, sieging of Caulonia also naturally untied.” 三人沉默了一会儿,德拉科斯无奈的说道:“情况如此,我们也没有办法,只希望哈迪斯庇佑,让考伦尼亚守住自己的家园,等我们集中兵力击退了锡拉库扎人,考伦尼亚的围困也就自然解开了。” „Repels?” Epiphanes keen held Drakos to speak the words that asked: „You think that we can repel the Dionysius army in the Eufemia plain?” “击退？”埃皮忒尼斯敏锐的抓住德拉科斯所说的话语,问道:“你认为我们在欧费米亚平原能够击退狄奥尼修斯的大军吗？” „Why cannot!” Drakos is pointing at the letter, asked back: „Looked that in the letter/believes said that Syracuse person in the there also more than 50,000 people, but our two regiments add on Crotone, Scylletium and Terina army perhaps also more than 50,000 people, don't you have the confidence to our regiments?! The Theonia regiment soldier is the Mediterranean best soldier!” Some Drakos vitality/angry is gazing at fixedly Epiphanes. “为什么不能！”德拉科斯指着信件,反问:“看信中所说,锡拉库扎人在那里也不过5万多人,而我们两个军团加上克罗托内、西里庭、特里纳的部队恐怕也有5万多人,难道你对我们的军团没有信心？！要知道,戴奥尼亚的军团士兵是地中海最好的士兵！”德拉克斯有些生气的瞪视着埃皮忒尼斯。 „Who said that I do not have the confidence to our regiment! Do not slander the person here randomly!” Epiphanes one hear, anger: If this saying passes on, how he also leads the army corps! “谁说我对我们军团没有信心！你不要在这里乱污蔑人！”埃皮忒尼斯一听,怒了:要是这话传出去,他还怎么带领兵团！ „Ok, both of you let alone!” Feely Hughes scolded loudly: „When the present was, you also had the mood to quarrel! If Sir Davos knows that your present performance, he will regret that very much lets your two people hold the post of legatus!” “好了,你们俩都别说了！”菲利修斯大声呵斥道:“现在是什么时候了,你们还有心情吵架！戴弗斯大人要是知道你们现在的表现,他会很后悔让你们两个人担任军团长！” Mentioned Davos, Epiphanes and Drakos were peaceful. 一提起戴弗斯,埃皮忒尼斯和德拉科斯安静下来。 „words I when has not heard, you also forgot it! I do not want to hear the related any related these words rumors in the soldier again, knows!” Philesius is looking straight ahead two people. “刚才的话我就当没听见,你们也把它忘掉！我不想在士兵中再听到有关任何有关这些话的传言,知道吗！”斐利修斯直视着两人。 Epiphanes curls the lip toward Drakos, but Drakos nods reluctantly. 埃皮忒尼斯朝德拉科斯撇撇嘴,而德拉科斯勉强点点头。 Philesius relaxes secretly: „Ok, makes us discuss issue how now a next tomorrow morning to retreat......” 斐利修斯暗松了口气:“好了,现在让我们商量一下明早如何撤退的问题……” ................................. …………………………… In morning of this day, worried a evening's guarding Poseidonia Samnium Captain Pisini has not hoped the miracle. 在这一天的上午,担忧了一晚上的驻守波塞冬尼亚的萨莫奈首领皮希尼并没有盼来奇迹。 The Theonia army appeared outside the city, they were divided into two parts: Part is building the camp, part formation outside city. 戴奥尼亚的军队还是出现在了城外,他们分成两部分:一部分在修筑营地,一部分则在城外列阵。 „More than 4000 people, want to capture my Poseidonia!” Pisini felt oneself received the shame. “才4000多人,就想夺取我的波塞冬尼亚！”皮希尼感觉自己受到了羞辱。 At this moment, he saw in the enemy ranks to be advanced the thing before by the soldier, astonished staring in a big way the eyes, are out of control both hands to support the embattlement, to the leans forward the body, is wanting to look is clearer. 就在这时,他看到了敌阵中被士兵推到阵前的东西,惊愕的瞪大了双眼,禁不住双手扶住城垛,向前倾着身子,想要看得更清楚一些。 He sees 78 small sunspots from an enemy forward flight, pounds in the city wall, „bang! Bang! Bang!......” The loud sound eliminated luck in Pisini heart: Theonian also has the crossbow artillery! 紧接着,他看到七八个小黑点从敌人阵前飞起,直砸在城墙上,“嘭！嘭！嘭！……”的巨响打消了皮希尼心中的侥幸:戴奥尼亚人也有弩炮！ In following time, Samnites with trepidation fixes the eyes on in the air to fly unceasingly the marbles that for fear that it pounds on oneself, on underwent simple patching broken and only the city wall after the artillery uninterrupted attack, becomes more broken...... 接下来的时间里,萨莫奈人提心吊胆的紧盯着空中不断飞来的石弹,唯恐它砸在自己身上,原本就残破、只经过简单修补的城墙经过努炮不间断的攻击,变得更加残破…… Pisini only hopes that the reinforcements arrive as soon as possible. 皮希尼只希望援军尽快到来。 On this day in the Theonia soldier busy passed with the anxiety of Samnium garrison troops. 这一天就在戴奥尼亚士兵的忙碌和萨莫奈守军的不安中度过了。 Next morning, the bugle sound of Theonia camp was sounded, the soldiers who in the tent awaken do not attend to the sleepy eyes being sloppy, turn over/stand up to sit up, was urging mutually starts the rapid clothing mail-armor and helmet. 第二天凌晨,戴奥尼亚营地的军号声被吹响,帐篷里惊醒的士兵们不顾睡眼稀松,翻身坐起,相互催促着开始迅速穿戴甲胄。 „Reported legatus, north the camp presented lots of enemies, it is estimated that the population surpassed 20,000, is marching forward to the camp!” Reconnoiters team leader Kerry Gelug to Alexius report/give report “报告军团长,营地北面出现了大量的敌人,估计人数超过两万,正在向营地行进！”侦察队长克里格鲁向阿莱克西斯禀报 „More than 20,000 people!” Alexius is not only not surprised, instead is somewhat joyful. With the help of guard, he is well-dressed, was in high spirits to walk two steps, said loudly: „It seems like the Samnites ambition is very big, wants to stutter we! Hehe, has not actually known that who finally can be eats who!” “两万多人！”阿莱克西斯不但不吃惊,反而有些欣喜。在卫兵的帮助下,他穿戴整齐,精神振奋的走了两步,大声说道:“看来萨莫奈人的野心很大,想一口吃掉我们！呵呵,却还不知道最后会是是谁吃谁！” He is just about to enter in the accounts, the tent was lifted, first chief Litom comes on exciting shouting: „legatus, the enemy swallowed the bait, moreover came more than 20,000 people!” 他正要出帐,帐幕被掀开,第一大队长利扎鲁一进来就兴奋的嚷道:“军团长,敌人上钩了,而且来了两万多人！” „Then sufficed you to eat!” Saying that Alexius cracks a joke. “这下够你吃了吧！”阿莱克西斯开玩笑的说道。 Litom hehe is smiling. A while ago because Alexius in Potentia after raiding Samnium army voluntary withdrawal, he was not quite satisfied, has been penting up anger. Now the air/Qi does not have, some are only the exuberant fight desires. 利扎鲁呵呵笑着。前段时间因为阿莱克西斯在波腾提亚面对袭来的萨莫奈大军主动撤退之后,他对此不太满意,一直在生闷气。现在气都没了,有的只是旺盛的战斗欲望。 „First do not worry, making the brothers eat to the full, today's fight duration will be quite possibly long! Because Sir Davos gives the order that our third army attempt to stuck the enemy and exhausted enemy as far as possible, must make them invest all military into attacking and occupying in our camps!” Alexius reminded again. “你先不要着急,让兄弟们都吃饱了,今天的战斗持续时间可能会比较长！因为戴弗斯大人给我们第三军图的命令是尽量黏住敌人、疲惫敌人,要让他们将所有兵力都投入到攻占我们的营地之中！”阿莱克西斯再次提醒道。 „I understand.” Litom replied, turns around to go out, halts suddenly, facing Alexius, serious good a military salute, this ritual also contains in which his apology. “我明白。”利扎鲁回答,转身就要出去,忽又站住,面对阿莱克西斯,郑重的行了一个军礼,这一礼将他的歉意也包含其中。
