跨过拉马托河,等他赶到这杀声震天的战场时,已经将双腿内侧皮肤都磨破,将马腹染得血红一片,整个人在马上摇摇欲坠,看到戴奥尼亚的侦骑迎上来,他嘶声高喊:“我是……我是特里纳的使者!锡拉库扎人的船队载着上万名士兵从拉马托河赶来增援……快!快去报告你们的指挥官!……”..........................................

Therefore, hewhilefeelinglucky, but alsoridiculedin the heart: Although the cavalry of Syracusepersonis powerful, actuallytoodeficientbattlefielddisciplineandoverall perception.斐利修斯现在的心情不错,虽然之前联军骑兵遭遇惨败,让他着实担心了一阵,但是锡拉库扎雇佣骑兵却忙于追击溃兵,而不是协助他们的步兵扳回他们右翼的颓势。因此,他在感到侥幸的同时,还在心中嘲笑:锡拉库扎人的骑兵虽然强悍,却太缺乏战场的纪律和大局观。NowTheonialeft flankis going forward, centeris going forward, evenright flankis also going forward......
现在戴奥尼亚左翼在前进中,中路在前进,连右翼也在前进……Philesiushas orderedflagto move the colors of standing erectforward, nowlooks likemustproceedto moveagainonetime.斐利修斯已经命令旗标手向前移动了竖立的军旗,现在看来又要往前再移一次。Quick! Quick! How longin the heart...... Philesiuscalculates the Syracusepersonalso to resist. At this moment, hehad recognized that victorylikesoonthoroughly ripeapple, iseasily attainable.
快了!快了!……斐利修斯在心中盘算着锡拉库扎人还能抵挡多久。此刻,他已经认定胜利就像快要熟透的苹果,已经是垂手可得的了。Butat this moment, the mounted scoutspeeding alongelectricitypullscatches upfrom the west: „Reported the commander! The Syracusereinforcementsare landingin the Amato rivershore, possiblyhasover ten thousand!”TheyafterobtainingTerinamessenger'snotice, rushed to the river bankto conduct the confirmationespecially, the seenscenemadetheirheartsbe startled.
可就在这时,侦骑飞驰电掣的从西面赶来:“报告指挥官!锡拉库扎援军正在拉马托河岸登陆,可能有上万名!”他们在得到特里纳传令兵的通知后,特地赶到河岸进行了确认,看到的景象令他们心惊。„What did yousay?! Over ten thousandpeople of enemyreinforcements!!”Philesiusinenthusiasm like being sprinkledfilled the cold water, fromskincontinuouslycooltoat heart.
“你说什么?!上万人的敌人援军!!”正在兴头上的斐利修斯如同被泼了一灌凉水,从皮肤一直凉到了心里。„Yes, commanderSir, over ten thousandpeople of Syracusereinforcements! Theyare apart fromourright flankbehindinside and outsideoneriver banklanding!”Mounted scoutanxiousshouting of: „Wemustpreventthem!”
“是的,指挥官大人,上万人的锡拉库扎援军!他们正在距我们右翼身后一里外的河岸登陆!”侦骑焦急的喊道:“我们必须阻止他们!”ThisastonishingnewsmakesPhilesiusbe caught off guard, hestartledvisionhas swept the surroundingperson, the surroundingpersonalsoat the intensegazeit, heis the commander of allied armies, everyoneis waiting forhisinstruction.
这一惊人的消息让斐利修斯措手不及,他略带惊慌的目光扫过周围的人,周围的人也在紧张的注视它,他才是联军的指挥官,大家都在等待他的指令。Philesiusrealizesthis point, hecoughedtwo, slowflusteredstate of mind: „Order! Twolightarmor-clad soldierbrigadesandtwolight infantrybrigadesrush to the river bank that the enemylandsimmediately, spares nothingto blockthem, does not makethemattackourrear areas!”斐利修斯意识到这一点,他干咳了两声,缓了缓慌张的心绪:“命令!两个轻甲兵大队和两个轻步兵大队立即赶往敌人登陆的河岸,不惜一切代价挡住他们,不让他们攻击我们的后方!”„Yes!”
“是!”„Sounds the bugleagain, urged that the fourth, fifthregimentsteps upto attack! Immediatelyhurries to telltwolegatusas well asSiprusandAsserbreathYaaz, the Askamasthreegeneralourpresentdangerous situations, makingthemnot wantto retain, attacks the enemyfull power!”
“再次吹响军号,催促第四、第五军团加紧进攻!立即赶去告诉两位军团长以及西普洛斯、阿塞息亚斯、阿斯卡玛斯三位将军我们现在的危险处境,让他们不要有所保留,全力进攻敌人!”
The peopledefer to the orderto carry outimmediately.
众人立刻按照命令去执行。Whenallarrange, Philesiusuntilhas the timeto ponderat this moment: The enemiesover ten thousandpeople of reinforcements that fromwheredo come? Is the Medmaarmy? But the Terinapersonhas said that Medmais only a small town, howpossibly does the factionobtainover ten thousandcitizensoldiers?......
待一切布置完毕,斐利修斯直到此刻才有时间去思考:敌人是从哪来的上万人的援军?难道是麦德玛的部队?可是特里纳人说过,麦德玛只是个小城,怎么可能派得出上万公民兵?……FeelyHughesat this timetowardnot besieging Unit Syracuse of Cauloniacitythinks,isbecause the allied armiesmounted scoutshave been returning: More than 40,000SheroAllied armieshave been preparingto attack a city.
菲利修斯这时还没有往围攻考伦尼亚城的锡拉库扎上去想,是因为联军侦骑一直是在回报:4万多名锡洛联军一直在准备攻城。Naturallyheis impossibleto know, at this timetohelpsouthintentAllied armies, the Rhegionseriesarmygeneralpoorpillareventook riskto command the armyto attackMedma, expected that canforce the Syracusearmyto go back to help, thusdisrupted the plan of Syracuseperson.
当然他也不可能知道,这个时候为了帮助南意联军,利吉姆统军将军菲墩甚至冒险率军进攻麦德玛,期望能迫使锡拉库扎军队回援,从而打乱锡拉库扎人的计划。Butfrom, the Philesiusheartanxietystartsto expandat this moment......
但从此刻起,斐利修斯心中的不安开始在扩大…….............................................
………………………………………Fromformationcenterto the coast that Syracuselands, issixli (0.5 km)fully, the approaching speed of Theonialightarmor-clad soldierandlight infantry, althoughis quick, butalsorequiressometime. Whentheyrush to the river bank, the Campaniamercenaryhas come ashoremost probably, andstartsto dress ranks.
从阵型的中路到锡拉库扎登陆的海岸,足有六里地,戴奥尼亚轻甲兵、轻步兵的行进速度虽然快,但也需要一些时间。等他们赶到河岸时,坎帕尼亚雇佣兵已经大半上岸,并且开始整队。Although the enemynumberis big, a densepiece, occupied the entiresandbank. Undercolorsdirection that in the teamofficerslift up high, the Theoniasoldiersdefer tousuallyinertiabraverushing of training.
虽然敌人数量众多,黑压压的一片,占据了整个河滩。在队官们高举的军旗指引下,戴奥尼亚士兵们按照平时训练的惯性勇敢的冲上去。2000light infantriesare falling in torrents the arrowvector sumjavelinto the enemy, 2000lightarmor-clad soldiersgraspskinshield and short-sword, walk as if flyingran upon the formationloosemercenarydirectly.
2000名轻步兵向敌人倾泻着箭矢和标枪,2000名轻甲兵手持皮盾和短剑,健步如飞的直接撞上了队形松散的雇佣兵。
The surprise attack of Theoniaarmycame as a surprise toLeptines, heaccording to the custom of pastGreececity-statecombat, thinks that the battlewas heldat this time, both sidesshouldput in the entire force, in order towon, never expected thatsouthintentAllied armies can also extract an armyto block the Syracusereinforcementsunexpectedly.戴奥尼亚军队的突袭出乎了莱普提涅斯的预料,他根据以往希腊城邦作战的习惯,以为会战进行到这个时候,双方应该都投入了全部兵力以求胜利,没想到南意联军居然还能抽出一支部队来阻击锡拉库扎的援军。Hedoes not certainly know,was notPhilesiushad known the plan of Dionysiusin advance, butwas«Theonian Military Law»has the stipulation, „shouldretainreserve forcesas the commanderin times of war, in order to conduct the critical momentinvestmentbattlefieldin the fight, tochangewar.”Philesiushandles affairsaccording to this, 2000lightarmor-clad soldiersarehisreserve forces, but2000light infantrieswere completinginitialmaking a harassing attack, falls back onbehind the arrayalsoto become a part of reserve forces.
他当然不知道,并非是斐利修斯预先已经知道了狄奥尼修斯的计划,而是《戴奥尼亚军法》有规定,“作为指挥官在作战时应该保留一支预备队,以便在战斗进行到关键时刻投入战场,以改变战局。”斐利修斯正是照此行事的,2000名轻甲兵就是他的预备队,而2000名轻步兵在完成了最初的袭扰,退到阵列后方也成为了预备队的一部分。These4000Theoniasoldiersattack the Campaniamercenary who letjustlandto go haywireinsuddenlyfor a while.
这4000戴奥尼亚士兵突如其来的冲击让刚登陆的坎帕尼亚雇佣兵一时陷入混乱中。

危急时刻,莱普提涅斯忙指挥剩余船只迅速靠岸。作为锡拉库扎海军统帅的他本来的任务只是运送援军登陆,率领援军进攻敌人是雇佣兵首领恩阿门纳斯的任务,但现在恩阿门纳斯陷入混乱的士兵中,是生是死尚不可知,莱普提涅斯不得不担负起救援的重任。Hejumps down the ship, the directionsurplusmercenarieslandsimmediately.
他跳下船,指挥剩余雇佣兵立即登陆。
The mercenarieshad seen the bitter experience of companionon the ship, theyare anxious, somehave not waited for the shipsto anchor, jumped updirectly the sand beach.
雇佣兵们在船上已经看到了同伴的遭遇,他们都非常焦急,有的未等船只停靠,就直接跳上了沙滩。
After Leptinesdresses ranksin a hurry, leadsthemto bypassis compelledto retrocedeagain and again, almost the mercenariesadvance guard support of collapse, braves the arrowrain of Theonialight infantry, attacked the flank of Theonialightarmor-clad soldier.莱普提涅斯匆匆整队后,就带领他们绕过被逼得连连后退、几近崩溃的雇佣军前队,冒着戴奥尼亚轻步兵的箭雨,攻击了戴奥尼亚轻甲兵的侧翼。
The fierce attack of lightarmor-clad soldieris suspended. In fact, the before rapid march and long distance the swift and violentattackhas consumedtheirmanyphysical strengths.
轻甲兵的猛烈攻势被迫中止。事实上,长距离的急行军和之前的迅猛进攻已经消耗了他们很多的体力。

混乱的雇佣军前队终于缓过劲来,开始发挥他们人多以及重甲的优势,戴奥尼亚轻甲兵的伤亡急剧上升。如果是戴奥尼亚第一、二军团的轻甲兵在此,坚持的时间应该可以更长,但是第四、五军团的轻甲兵绝大多数来自布鲁提和卢卡尼亚,山民出身的他们从小受到的战斗教育是处于弱势时要懂得避开敌人而不是正面去应战斗,虽然在联盟的几年里接受戴奥尼亚的军事训练和纪律的约束,但是在逆境时保命的念头就占据了上风……
The Theonialightarmor-clad soldierretreated , without the light infantry of barriernaturallyalsoto followto retreat......戴奥尼亚轻甲兵撤退了,没有了屏障的轻步兵当然也跟着撤退…….............................................
………………………………………At this time, has continuednearlyonehour of battle, soldiersoriginallybecause of the consumption of physical strength, fights with all mightorroarshas weakened, butboth sidesalmost the buglesoundsuddenlysimultaneously, the drumbeatrings out, urgingattack.
此时,已经持续了近一个小时的会战,士兵们本来因为体力的消耗,无论是拼杀还是吼叫都已经减弱,但突然间双方几乎同时军号吹响,鼓声大作,催促进攻。Soldiers of both sideshave toput together the laststrength, speeds up the attack and defense.
双方的士兵不得不拼上最后一份力量,加快进攻和防御。ToDionysius, heonly has an ideaat this moment: Before the reinforcementsarrive, withstands the attack of enemy!
对狄奥尼修斯来讲,他此刻只有一个想法:在援军到来之前,顶住敌人的进攻!ToPhilesius, healsoonly has a faith: Before the enemyreinforcementsarrive, breaks through the enemy ranks, ensures the victory!
对斐利修斯而言,他也只有一个信念:在敌人援军到来之前,攻破敌阵,奠定胜局!both sidesarrived at the decisionresultcritical moment.
双方都到了决定胜负的关键时刻。

胳膊、大腿都有好几处刀伤的爱菲阿尔特此刻已经累得连长盾都提不起来,拿着短剑的手因为长时间过度的用力而轻微颤抖,他呼哧喘气的声音响得就像重病垂危的病患。对面的敌人比他更加不堪,因为甲胄太重,他已经扔掉了圆盾,双手持矛,整个人都在摇晃。LikesFuadWalternot despisingthemin the heart, the Theoniaregimentno onehas put forth the characteristics that itsformationis in sole possession ofafter the beforehandfight( i.e.withfrontlineexchange), hethinks that is the oppression that because the opposite partygivesis too strong, pastestootightly, makinglegatusnot dareeasilyto transform the array.
爱菲阿尔特没有在心中鄙视他们,戴奥尼亚军团在之前的战斗中一直没人使出其阵型独有的特点(即后阵与前阵互换),他认为就是因为对方给予的压迫太强,贴得太紧,使得军团长不敢轻易转换阵列。Actuallyanotherhas not implemented the primary cause that thischanges the tacticsisfourthandfifthregimentsfirstparticipates in the battle, faced with the powerful enemy, the left and rightis the alliancearmy, is the firstsame placebattles, Philesiusfearschanges the tacticsrashly, the soldiersmake mistakesunderrestraining by force, in additionalliancearmydoes not understandanddoes not coordinate, after alllatterchanges the frontlineisneedsentireformationgradualin the futurewill remove, thismaycause the armyto go haywire.
其实另一个没有实行这一变阵的主要原因就是第四、五军团都是初次参与会战,面临强敌,偏偏左右两侧又都是联盟军队,也是第一次一起作战,斐利修斯怕贸然变阵,士兵们在强压下犯错,再加上联盟军队的不了解和不配合,毕竟后阵换前阵是需要整个阵型逐步的往后撤,这就有可能导致全军陷入混乱。
The resoundingbuglesound was not only urging the soldier who both sidesbattle, was also urgingotherarmies, for examplepursue the allied armiescavalries, the Syracuseemploymentcavalry who returns toeasely, Syracusereinforcements that naturallytworush to the battlefield.
高亢的军号声不但是在催促双方交战的士兵,同时也在催促其他的部队,比如追击完联军骑兵、正在悠然返回的锡拉库扎雇佣骑兵,当然更有两支赶赴战场的锡拉库扎援军。Ifaccording to the CrotoneseriesarmygeneralAskamaspastcustom, hecanarrangeat the arrayfront, slaughterswith the enemyface-to-face, butPhilesiusrequestfederationseriesarmygeneralbefore the battleassumes the rear area, do not enter the war, byfacilitating the contact, AskamasalsoridiculedTheonianto covet life and fear deathat that time, nowheshouldthankFeelyHughes'srequest, becauseheheardbuglesound that is different from oppositetransmitting.
如果按照克罗托内统军将军阿斯卡玛斯以往的习惯,他一定会排在阵列前方,与敌人面对面厮杀,但在会战前斐利修斯请求联邦统军将领都坐镇后方,不要参战,以方便联络,当时阿斯卡玛斯还嘲笑戴奥尼亚人贪生怕死,现在他应该感谢菲利休斯的这一要求,因为他听到了有别于对面传来的军号声。
The buglesoundtransmitsfrom the flank of Crotonearmy, resoundinggrating, moreovermore and morenear...... theninhisfield of vision, presents the innumerablehelmetbrightarmorbrightsoldierimpressively......
军号声从克罗托内军队的外侧传来,高亢刺耳,而且越来越近……接着在他的视野里,赫然出现无数盔明甲亮的士兵……Syracusereinforcements?!

在那可怕的一瞬间,阿斯卡玛斯木然的大脑里只有一个念头:斐利修斯不是说敌人的援军是在右翼河岸吗?!……
