“快走!快走!不听命令,军法……军法处置!!”索伯科斯怒吼,脸上汗珠与泪水交织。

索伯克斯仿佛已经用尽了力气,他向后一倒,右拳仍然牢牢的贴在胸前。

碧蓝的天空,洁白的云朵,还有那一轮耀眼的太阳,照在身上的阳光是那样的温暖……索伯科斯的脸上竟然露出了一丝笑容……„Theoniafor victory......”hemutteredis saying, indoes not livehim who this momenthethoughtto raisehedozensyears of Thuriiunexpectedly, butestablishedseveralyears of Theoniaalliancesmerely.
“戴奥尼亚万胜……”他喃喃的说着,在这一刻他想到的竟不是生他养他几十年的图里伊,而是仅仅成立了几年的戴奥尼亚联盟。When the lancethorn of enemytohischest, hehas not moved aside, butclosed the eyes, in the deep place of mind, hesawtoheexposes the complete picture, beautifulElysium......
当敌人的长矛刺向他的胸膛,他没有躲闪,而是闭上了双眼,在心灵的深处,他看到了正在向他展露全貌的、美丽的爱丽舍乐园…….................................
……………………………InTerina, nowincity, only thenapproximately500citizensoldiers, do not have others again, almostturned into an empty city.
在特里纳,如今城内只有约500名公民兵,再无其他的民众,几乎变成了一座空城。Whywill havethissituation?
为什么会出现这种情况?WhenbecauseSipruswhenecclesiaproposed that „sends outmostsoldiersparticipate inbattle”, the citizensinterrogatehim: „Whenbattle, the enemyattacks the Terinacitysuddenly, how can wedefendthiscitywithsuchfewsoldiers?”
因为当西普洛斯在公民大会上提议“派出最多的士兵参与会战”时,公民们质问他:“万一会战时,敌人突然进攻特里纳城,我们如何能够用这么少的士兵来守住这座城?”Hisreplyis: „Makes the peoplemigratetoKernerPetijatemporarily, goesby the asylum of Theoniaalliance, afterbattlevictoryreturns......”
他的回答是:“让民众们都暂时迁移到克纳佩提亚,去受戴奥尼亚联盟的庇护,直到会战胜利后再返回……”Finally, reason thatecclesiathrough his seeminglyabsurdproposition , because Syracusebigcampon the river bank of not far away, the SyracusehugefleetlingersinGulf, ambusheslike the fierce tigerin the thick patch of grass, is servingmomentarilysecretly the Terinacity, making the citizensday and nightfrightened, thereforetheyplace hopes in the victory that theseengages in a decisive battletimeto makethishugethreatdisappearthoroughly.
最终,之所以公民大会会通过他这个看似荒唐的提议,是因为锡拉库扎的大营就在不远处的河岸上,锡拉库扎庞大的舰队就徘徊在海湾里,像猛虎潜伏在草丛,随时窃伺着特里纳城,让公民们日夜恐惧,所以他们都寄希望于这一次会战的胜利让这个巨大的威胁彻底消失。Afterwinning the approval of KernerPetijageneration of chief executiveAsistes, more than 40,000Terinapeopleare carryingfamily'sgrain and propertygo northto goto seek asylum.
在征得克纳佩提亚代行政长官亚西斯特斯的同意后,4万多名特里纳民众携带着家里的粮食和财物北上前去避难。
After Siprusleads8500soldiersleave, in the cityonremainingis less than500citizensoldiers, theyshut tightly the city gate, the timeis monitoring the sound outside cityintense.西普洛斯率领8500名士兵离开后,城内就剩下不到500名公民兵,他们将城门紧闭,时刻紧张的监视着城外的动静。„Looksquickly, Syracusefleet!” A soldieris pointing at the sea level outside harbor, anxiousshouting.
“快看,锡拉库扎的船队!”一名士兵指着港口外的海面,紧张的大喊。Over the two days, the Syracuseshipspassed in and outin the Amato rivermouth, the Terinapeoplesomewhatbecame accustomed. Howevertimethesecomesnot onlyhas the freighter, warship, but also the quantityis astonishing, seems likemore than200.
这两天,锡拉库扎的船只在拉马托河口进进出出,特里纳人都有些习以为常。但是这一次来的不仅是有货船,还有战船,而且数量惊人,看起来不下200艘。„Onshiphas the soldier!”When the Syracusefleetsailed toAmato river, to be away from the Terinacityveryrecently, the soldier in topcanclearsawto enter the fleet of river mouthistwoabreast in row, followingfollowed closelyone, moreovereachshippacked with the soldier.
“船上有士兵!”当锡拉库扎船队驶进拉马托河、距离特里纳城很近时,城头的士兵能清晰的看到进入河口的船队是两艘并排,后面一艘紧接一艘,而且每艘船都满载士兵。„This...... thisperhapsmore thanten thousandpeople!”
“这……这恐怕不下万人吧!”„Our person, is impossibleto defendthiscity!”
“我们就这点人,根本不可能守住这座城!”„We...... retreatsimplynow. Siprushas saidin any case, ‚cannot defendcanretreat, invadesfacing the PersiaarmylikeAthens, gives up the homeland, in the future can also come backto reconstruct.’”
“干脆我们现在就……撤退吧。反正西普洛斯说过,‘守不住就可以撤退,就像雅典面对波斯大军入侵一样,放弃家园,将来还可以回来重建。’”
......
……
The Terinasoldieryellsstartled, buttheysoondiscovered that thishuge quantity offleetsimply the river banknearTerinahas not anchored, butroamingShigoesdirectlyupward.特里纳士兵惊慌的叫喊起来,但是他们很快发现这支数量庞大的船队根本没在特里纳附近河岸停泊,而是径直往上游驶去。
The soldiersrelax, buthas been overlookingthattwo in Amato river„long line”TerinaGeneralBrommaRusslooks dignified, hisraisedat heart a fearfulthought.
士兵们松了口气,但一直俯瞰着拉马托河里的那两条“长龙”的特里纳将军布洛马拉斯神情凝重,他的心里升起了一个可怕的念头。„Immediatelyrides the fast horseto hurry to the battle the battlefield! Told the coalition commander, over ten thousandSyracusesoldiersare hurrying to the battlefield, hopes that they-”BrommaTos, thought ofanythingat this pointsuddenly, could not a little be justifiedunexpectedly.
“立刻骑快马赶去会战的战场!告诉联军指挥官,有上万名锡拉库扎士兵正赶去战场,希望他们-”布洛马托斯说到这里,忽然想到什么,竟有点说不下去了。According to the return of beforehandmounted scout, the allied armieshave startedto engage in a decisive battlewith the Syracuseperson, various armies of allied armiesshouldput in the completemilitarynow, generalevenknowsthisnews, canprevent the reinforcement of enemywithwhat?
据之前侦骑的回报,联军已经开始同锡拉库扎人进行会战,联军的各支部队现在应该都投入了全部的兵力,将领们即使知道这一消息,又能拿什么来阻挡敌人的增援呢?Looks at the similarlytensenervousmessenger, BrommaTosas far as possiblebecomesbyoneselfcalmly: „Goesquickly.”
看着同样紧张不安的传令兵,布洛马托斯尽量让自己变得镇定些:“快去吧。”„...... Is!” Under the messengersturn aroundto want the top.
“……是!”传令兵转身要下城头。BrommaTosalsosaidonediscretely: „After passing on the news, youtreatnear the battlefield, once the battlehad the result, immediatelyhurries backto tellus!”
布洛马托斯又谨慎的说了一句:“传完消息后,你就待在战场附近,一旦会战有了结果,立刻赶回来告诉我们!”„Acceleration! Acceleratesagain!”Leptinesstandsis controlling the sailorto row the rhythmblowingflutebehind, issues the orderpersonally.
“加速!再加速!”莱普提涅斯站在控制水手划桨节奏的吹笛手身后,亲自下达命令。Under the drumbeats of quick rhythm, dozenssailorsgo all outto paddle the wooden oar. Thisis50thick liquidwarshipssituated inmostfront row, itsfastgoes forwardon the water surface, naturallyalsodrove the rate of progression of sternandsidefleet, in additionon the southeastbreeze, causes the speed of entirefleetnot, becauseisswims against the streambecomesslow.
在快节奏的鼓点下,几十名水手拼命划动木桨。这是位于最前列的五十浆战船,它快速的在水面上前进,自然也带动了船尾和旁侧船队的前进速度,再加上恰逢东南微风,使得整个船队的速度并不因为是逆流而上而变得缓慢。Although the fleetmarches forwardfast, Leptineswas still serious: Asnauarch, severalyears ago that and Carthagenaval battledisastrous defeat, almostmadehimlose the trust of Elder BrotherDionysius, thereforethesesincebattle, hehas decidedtimesecretly, before takingsnow the shame, toDionysius, totheseridiculed that herather thansits the Syracuseperson in thispositionto provehisabilitydepending on the blood relationshipdepending on the skill. Thereforethisbattle, hemustrushpromptly, cannotdisappointhisElder BrotherDionysiusagain, was shamedbyoneself!
尽管船队行进快速,莱普提涅斯仍然面色凝重:作为海军统帅,几年前的那场与迦太基的海战惨败,差点让他失去了哥哥狄奥尼修斯的信任,因此这一次自开战以来,他就暗下决心,要一雪前耻,向狄奥尼修斯、也向那些嘲笑他只是凭血缘而不是凭本事坐上这个位置的锡拉库扎人证明他的能力。所以这一次的会战,他必须及时赶到,不能再让他哥哥狄奥尼修斯失望,让自己蒙羞了!„Frontis the riversjunction!”Liesinhisslooks at the hand that on the mastlooks into the distanceto shout loudly.
“前面就是河流汇合处!”趴在桅杆上眺望的嘹望手高喊。LappThinisquick stepsarrive at the bow, inhisfront: Ondozensmetersbroadtranquilriver surfacedivided the fork, toward left, toward right.
莱普提尼斯疾步走到船头,在他前方:几十米宽阔的平静河面上分了叉,一条向左,一条向右。On the Leptinestightfacereveals an excitementfinally: „Preparessteertoward left!”莱普提涅斯紧绷的脸上终于露出一丝兴奋:“准备转舵向左!”In factdoes not needhimto order, the experiencedhelmsmanhas been adjusting the direction of warship.
实际上根本不用他下令,经验丰富的舵手已经在调整战船的航向。Looks atwarshipsteadyturning the left sideriver course, the vanguard that continuesto cleave the waves, Leptinesshowed the smilefinally, hesent peopleto givehismapaccording toDionysiusyesterday, knows that inside and outsidefourright side the river bankin the frontis a bigsectionsmoothsand beach, thatis the fleetlandingplace that hesets.
看着战船平稳的拐进左侧的河道,继续劈波斩浪的前行,莱普提涅斯终于露出了微笑,他根据狄奥尼修斯昨日派人送给他的地图,知道在前方四里外河岸右侧是一大段平坦的沙滩,那就是他确定的船队登陆的地点。In order toguaranteelandingis smooth, in the fleet that his timebringsdoes not even havetriremes, becausethreeoarhullsexcessivelyare oversized and long, not onlydoes not favorin the sand beachanchors, but also is easyto hinder the navigation of otherships.
为了保证登陆顺利,他这次所带的船队中甚至没有一艘三层桨战船,因为三层桨船身过大、过长,不但不利于在沙滩停靠,而且容易阻碍其他船只的航行。„GraciousnessamenNurse!”
“恩阿门纳斯!”„Sir.”Respondedwith the Campaniamercenariesleaderonthisship.
“大人。”同在这艘船上的坎帕尼亚雇佣军首领回应道。„Was ready, quickmustlook atyour!” The Leptinesdrivesaid.
“做好准备,很快就要看你们的了!”莱普提涅斯激励道。Landing forcemajority that the Leptinesfleetcarriesis the Campaniamercenary, compares the city-statecitizensoldier, the mercenary who thesego on an expeditionyear to yearexperiencesrichly, does not rely oncrowdedphalanxalso to battlealone, this is also the Dionysiuschoicelets the reason of theirlanding operations. Forthisgreat battle, Dionysiusmaybedoes one's bestto use up the worry, the issues of somedetailsconsidered.莱普提涅斯的船队所载的登陆部队大部分为坎帕尼亚雇佣兵,相比较城邦的公民兵,这些常年征战的雇佣兵经验丰富,不依赖密集方阵也能独自作战,这也是狄奥尼修斯选择让他们登陆作战的原因。为了这一场大会战,狄奥尼修斯可算是殚心竭虑,一些细节的问题都考虑到了。HoweverLeptinesdoes not likethesemercenaries, particularlyCeltsandNummiBiyaperson, hethinks: Theseindigenousbarbaricandbloody, slaughters, grabsanddoes not obey the director, iffor the victory of thiswar, hedoes not wantto be close to them.
但是莱普提涅斯并不喜欢这些雇佣军,尤其是凯尔特人和努米比亚人,他认为:这些土著野蛮、血腥、滥杀、劫掠、不听指挥,如果不是为了这场战争的胜利,他根本不想和他们接近。„Ha! The brothershave wantedto kick the buttocks of bigGreeksimpatiently, thiscan be said asusbattlingmost relaxedonetimeforSirDionysius!”GraciousnessamenNurselaughsloudly, hewaits eagerly, wantsto make the great merit, is recognized byDionysius.

“哈哈哈!兄弟们早就迫不及待想要踢大希腊人的屁股啦,这可以说是我们为狄奥尼修斯大人作战最轻松的一次!”恩阿门纳斯放声大笑,他可是憋足了劲,想要立下大功,得到狄奥尼修斯的赏识。同样来自坎帕尼亚、同样出身雇佣兵的、如今却转身一变成为狄奥尼修斯朝臣的马西阿斯就是他的榜样。Right that „said that Leader. Weonlyneed a charge, canmake the enemykneelsurrenders!” The mercenaries on shipare confident.
“说的对,首领。我们只需要一个冲锋,就能让敌人跪地投降!”船上的雇佣兵们信心十足。.................................
……………………………Dionysiustrulyconsidersverythoroughly. Butwhathehas not thought: Beforebattlehehas remindedNummiBiyacavalryleaderandCelticcavalryleaderover and overmustassist the right flankcombat, butthesemilitantalien racepeopleslip back into old waysagain, afterroutingallied armiescavalries, theyare busypursuing, slaughteringas well assearch to plunder the spoils of war, after has thrown into the brain , the order of Dionysius.狄奥尼修斯确实考虑很周到。但他没想到的是:在会战前他再三提醒过努米比亚骑兵首领和凯尔特骑兵首领要协助右翼作战,但这些好战的异族人再次故态复萌,在击溃联军骑兵后,他们忙着追击、杀戮以及搜掠战利品,早已将狄奥尼修斯的命令抛到脑后。Makesright flank that Pharacidasleadsinlacking the situation of supportis retrocedingunceasingly, but also was pressed out a semicirclein the entireright flankbattleline of supportwith hardshipquickly.
使得菲比达斯所率领的右翼在缺乏支援的情况下在不断后退,还在苦苦支撑的整个右翼阵线都快被压出一个半圆了。Butthose whomadeDionysius unable to think: Incenter, these15000Syracuseeliteheavy infantries who hemostplaces the great expectations in the quantitywithfacing of itcloseTheoniaregimentsoldier , after startwas locked in a stalematesome time, is retrocedingslowly. But the retreat of centeralsoaffectedleft flank.
而更令狄奥尼修斯想不到的是:在中路,他所最寄予厚望的这15000名锡拉库扎精锐重步兵在和数量与之相近的戴奥尼亚军团士兵的对垒中,除了开始时相持了一段时间之后,也在缓缓后退。而中路的后退也影响到了左翼。
After having come fromleft, the urgentreport of right, nowDionysiusfelt that the entirebattlelineis retroceding. Yes, entirearray! Hedid not haveagain when battles against the leisurely and carefreemood of thatsteadyultraconfidence in victory, heordershisadjutantDamocles and aidescloselystandsin the rear area of centerarray, tosoldiersloudyelling, encouragingthemto rouse the spirit, withstand/top the attack of enemy.
得到来自左、中、右路的紧急汇报后,现在狄奥尼修斯感觉整个阵线都在后退。是的,整个阵列!他再也没有了开战时那稳超胜券的悠闲心情,他命令他的副官达摩克利斯以及侍从们紧紧的站在中路阵列的后方,向士兵们大声的叫喊,鼓励他们振奋精神,将敌人的进攻顶回去。Ingiantnoisesound that inangry roaring, pitiful yell and spear/gunshieldintersectionmakes, the role that playsalmostcanignore, centerwas still retrocedingslowly.
但是在怒吼、惨叫、枪盾相交所制造的巨大喧嚣声中,所起的作用几乎是可以忽略不计,中路仍然在缓缓后退。„What's the matter?! How haven't lawSchiepeSars'sreinforcementsarrived?!”Dionysiusis more anxiousmuch the interrogation, hisagitatedmoodalsoinfectsto the warhorse of hiscrotch, continuouslykeepingshaking the headlowcry.
“怎么回事?!法西佩萨斯的援军怎么还没到?!”狄奥尼修斯急得大声质问,他烦躁的心情也感染到他胯下的战马,一直在不停的摆头低鸣。„Sir, the messengerhad returneda moment ago, the army that SchiepeSarsleadsremainedoneli (0.5 km)fromright flank.”Damoclesrepliedimmediately.
“大人,刚才传令兵已经回报过了,法西佩萨斯所率领的部队距离右翼就剩一里地了。”达摩克利斯立即回答。„Yougo!”Dionysiusis pointing athim: „GuidingSchiepeSarscommands the armyto accelerateto rush toright flankdirectly, attacks the flank of enemy!”
“你去!”狄奥尼修斯指着他:“引导法西佩萨斯直接率军加速赶往右翼,攻击敌人的侧翼!”„Yes!”
“是!”„Where did the Leptinesfleetarrive?”
“莱普提涅斯的船队到什么地方了?”„Has crossed the position of left flankbattle, Sir.”
“已经过了左翼交战的位置,大人。”„Thatsoonlanded. Leptinesthisfellow, thesetimeis quickto the action!”Heard the reinforcementssoonto put into the fight the news, the Dionysiusmoodrelaxedslightly: „Plays the armydrum, sounds the bugle, lets the soldiersnot only need insist, but must startto get readyto attack!”
“那就是快要登陆了。莱普提涅斯这家伙,这一次到行动很快!”听到援军即将投入战斗的消息,狄奥尼修斯的心情才稍微放松了些:“把军鼓敲起来,把军号吹响,让士兵们不但要坚持住,而且还要开始准备进攻了!”
