Sekrian plays the role in the strong security that in the navy carries out, enabling the people to know unexpectedly not many, few people listen to the sailor who gets drunk to mention in the tavern indistinctly: „That thing called the crow probably, it is said was the King Davos design, can conquer the enemy with it......” 塞克利安在海军中执行的严厉的保密措施起到了作用,使得民众对此竟所知不多,只有极少数人在酒馆中隐约听喝醉的水手谈起过:“那东西好像叫乌鸦吧,据说是戴弗斯国王设计的,能用它战胜敌人……” „Originally is the invention of King Davos!” The people that hear the reply are suddenly enlighted general, as if were also many several points of confidence to the victory regarding them of Davos absolute trust, but how without more careful questioning to beat the Syracuse person with that equipment. Naturally even if asked that the opposite party could not say a reason why. “原来是戴弗斯国王的发明！”听到回答的民众恍然大悟一般,对于戴弗斯绝对信任的他们似乎对胜利又多了几分信心,而没有更仔细的追问用那个装置怎么击败锡拉库扎人。当然即使问了,对方也说不出个所以然。 „How does this strange thing use? It is really the father designs?” Sits Actoris curious asking nearby Hernipolis on slave shoulder. “这个奇怪的东西如何使用？它真的是父亲设计的吗？”坐在奴隶肩膀上的阿多里斯好奇的问旁边的赫尼波利斯。 Is facing this critical war, the Davos mansion is unable to maintain the past tranquility, is not only Cynthia, Actoris, Carlo shouts must come to be Davos sees off, two madames are also very excited. However Cheiristoya just produced, is physically weak, moreover there are Eunice who must nurse momentarily to look after ; Loving the Gorney belly is big gradually, moves about with difficulty, to such noisy crowded crowd is very dangerous, therefore two people are unable to come, they have to entrust Hernipolis to lead 45 male and female slaves, is responsible for looking after these three children. 面对着这一场生死攸关的大战,戴弗斯的府邸也无法保持以往的平静,不光是辛西娅、阿多里斯、小克洛嚷着要来为戴弗斯送行,两位夫人也都很心动。但是克莉斯托娅刚刚生产,身体虚弱,而且还有随时要吃奶的尤妮丝要照顾;爱葛妮丝肚子渐大,行动不便,到这样嘈杂拥挤的人群中是很危险的,因此两人都无法前来,她们只好委托赫尼波利斯带了四五个男女奴隶,负责照看好这三个孩子。 Shoulders Hernipolis on shoulder to hear this saying Carlo, on the face is slightly awkward, because Davos has never discussed the matter in Theonia navy aspect to him, he coughs two, been perfunctory saying: „Yes, naturally yes.” 将小克洛扛在肩上的赫尼波利斯听到这话,脸上略显尴尬,因为戴弗斯从未给他讲过戴奥尼亚海军这方面的事,他干咳两声,敷衍的说道:“是的,当然是的。” Intelligent Cynthia faint smile looked at his one eyes, has not gone to reveal him. 聪明的辛西娅似笑非笑的看了他一眼,没有去揭穿他。 At this time, in the tide of people burst into bigger cheers: Seeing only in the naval port drives one to be bigger, a longer grand warship, what is different from other warships, on the topmast mast top of this warship is placing a Hades statue, is especially dazzling. Meanwhile is also standing a person in the bow, what is different from other soldiers, he is wearing Zheng translucent tile bright silver armor, only then the helmet top tops to decorate the unique black capstring, has hung to fall the back, welcomes morning sun that east side is raising, his whole body is sending out the dazzling ray, just like a deity. 这时,人潮中爆发出更大的欢呼声:只见军港中驶来一艘更大、更长的雄伟战船,与其他战船不同的是,这艘战船的中桅杆顶上安放着一尊冥王雕像,格外耀眼。同时在舰首还站立着一个人,和其他士兵不同的是,他身穿着铮明瓦亮的银色铠甲,只有头盔顶冠上缀有独特的黑色帽缨,一直垂坠到后背,迎着东边升起的朝阳,他全身散发着耀眼的光芒,犹如一尊天神。 The cheers of people reached the peak. Yes, they recognized him, because they just pushed up the kingdom him, now this to be fulfilled his commitment deeply goes in person the battlefield by the king who Hades gives loving care, he is their confidence the department, hopes that is at! 民众们的欢呼声达到了顶峰。是的,他们认出了他,因为他们刚刚把他推上了王国,现在这位深受冥王眷爱的国王正在为履行他的承诺而亲赴战场,他才是他们的信心所系,希望所在！ „King Davos, for victory!!!” The cheers surge wave upon wave, these are also mixing with several children's squeals: „Father refuels! Father for victory!” “戴弗斯国王,万胜！！！”的欢呼声一浪高过一浪,这其中还夹杂着几个孩子的尖叫声:“父亲加油！父亲万胜！” In the deafening voice, facing the people of cross-strait sea of people, Davos is certainly impossible to see own child, he is with smile on the face, does not stand still waves to hint. 在震耳欲聋的声浪中,面对两岸人山人海的民众,戴弗斯当然不可能看到自己的孩子,他只是面带微笑,不停歇的挥手示意。 The warship drives into the sea, the day wide sea is suddenly extravagant, immediately makes Davos have a tiny feeling, but all around is distanced the rowing sound that only then dozens meters warship resounds, blows the whistle sound to cover him, making him realize that oneself is in a huge fleet. 战船驶入大海,骤然间天宽海阔,立刻让戴弗斯产生一种自身渺小的感觉,但四周相距只有几十米的战船响起的划桨声、吹笛声笼罩着他,让他意识到自己处在一个庞大的船队之中。 He turns head to look to the coast of not far away: The people along the coast, bring along the old and young, follows the warship to go forward...... 他扭头看向不远处的海岸:民众们沿着海岸,扶老携幼,不停的追随着战船前进…… Davos deeply understands they never say die is pursuing anything, he deeply inspires, was been tranquil by oneself, to overcome, because is accustomed to the illness that the land fight, changes to all of a sudden marine produces. 戴弗斯深深明白他们锲而不舍的在追求着什么,他深吸了口气,让自己平静下来,以克服因为习惯于陆地战斗、一下子转到海上而产生的不适。 But the one who follows closely Davos to go to sea in the warship is the nauarch Secker Lyan's flagship, action of Sekrian on ship may be freer than Davos, he first arrives at the bow from the stern, after inspecting an entire ship again, arrives under the mast, raised the head to shout: „Has the discovery?!” 而紧随戴弗斯所在战船出海的是海军统帅塞科利安的旗舰,塞克利安在船上的行动可就比戴弗斯自如多了,他先从船尾走到船头,再次巡视了一遍全船之后,来到中桅杆下,抬头喊道:“有发现吗？！” On mast hiss looks at the hand to reply immediately: „General, but also does not have the news.” 桅杆上的嘹望手立刻回答:“将军,还没有消息。” Sekrian grasped making a fist, saw front Davos travels by boat possibly, because the population are too much , but the speed is a little slow, the mood was not so as if anxious, he calms down, issues the order: „Makes the army be lower than the normal speed to go forward!” 塞克利安握了握拳,看到前方戴弗斯的坐船可能因为人数过多而速度有点缓慢,心情似乎也不那么焦急了,他定了定神,下达命令:“让全军低于正常速度前进！” The triremes normal speed is about eight( i.e. 15 km per hour), Sekrian considered that the entire fleet goes to sea for the first time combat, the coordination is not very skilled . Moreover the triremes construction and specification that merges from various city-state have the difference, for example the Crotone warship is more facile, long and narrow, favors attacks ; Rhegion warship spacious heavy/thick , helping defend...... takes the naval battle main force the triremes big or small difference, definitely will create the difference in speed, therefore before the approach, Sekrian had not had the quite cautious attitude, to avoid the fleet marching forward around comes apart. 三层桨战船的正常速度约为八节(即每小时15公里),塞克利安考虑到整支舰队第一次出海作战,配合还不够熟练,而且从各城邦合并过来的三层桨战船形制、规格都有不同,比如克罗托内的战船更轻便、狭长,利于突击;利吉姆的战船则宽大厚重,便于防御……作为海战主力的三层桨战船的大小差异,必然会造成速度上的差异,因此在未接敌之前,塞克利安采取了比较谨慎的态度,以避免舰队在行进中前后脱节。 Therefore, he also said: „Raises the flag of Apollo!” Apollo is the sun god, every day drives cloud Che the golden light sparkle, the flag of Apollo in the Sekrian mouth said is one is actually dyed the golden tall and slender flax cotton material, it was pulled to draw by the rope is rising the main mast, is welcoming the sea breeze, flutters, its meaning is: Is centered on this ship, the fleet contracts inward, between all around ship and ship are distanced about 20 meters. 为此,他又紧接着说道:“升起阿波罗之旗！”阿波罗是太阳神,每天驾驶云车金光闪耀,塞克利安口中所说的阿波罗之旗其实是一面被染成金黄色的细长亚麻布料,它被绳索牵拉着升上主桅杆,迎着海风,招展开来,它的含义是:以本舰为中心,舰队向内收缩,前后左右的船与船之间相距在20米左右。 This similarly is also a cautious operational attitude, lets the entire fleet in the range that in Sekrian can control. 这同样也是一种谨慎的作战态度,让整个舰队处于塞克利安可以掌控的范围内。 „!......” Extremely long bugle sound reverberation in marine, on each warship hiss looks at the hand to see that golden flag, immediately entire ship, each warship starts to reduce the thick liquid fast, to approach from outside to inside mutually. “呜！……”极其悠长的军号声回荡在海上,每一艘战船上的嘹望手都能望见那金黄色的旗帜,随即整个船阵从外向内、每艘战船开始降低浆速、相互靠近。 The people that decreasing of warship speed can also let the shore can keep up with the rate of progression of fleet reluctantly, but the fleet is far away from the coast, even if the fleet in the contraction formation, triremes 150, adds on other warships, the Theonia fleets of 200 warships to spread out all over again, still occupies a surrounding area 56 nautical miles area, its enormous and powerful drives to south...... 战船速度的减低也能让岸边的民众能够勉强跟得上舰队的前进速度,但是舰队正在远离海岸,即使舰队在收缩阵型,三层桨战船150艘、再加上其他战船、共200艘战船的戴奥尼亚舰队铺展开来,也占据着方圆五六海里的面积,它浩浩荡荡的向南驶去…… ............................................. ……………………………………… Leptines conducts such making a harassing attack action to feel that to every day was somewhat sick, he conflicts the cruel behavior of this slaughtering civilians from the heart, he wants to tempt the Theonia fleet to come out to fight a decisive battle in this way, but the Theonia fleet like the turtle, hides in the harbor does not come out, this makes Leptines feel that the whole body is strong causes nowhere. 莱普提涅斯对每一天进行这样的袭扰行动感到有些厌烦了,他从内心深处是抵触这种屠戮平民的残暴行为的,原本他只是想通过这种方式来引诱戴奥尼亚的舰队出来决战,但是戴奥尼亚舰队像缩头乌龟一样,躲在港口里不出来,这让莱普提涅斯感到浑身有劲却无处使。 But his Elder Brother Dionysius actually even more regarded as important this making a harassing attack way, it is said was Dionysius obtains a point to come from Krimisa and Aprustum inside information, because the frequent attack caused Theonia to be affected to the south frontline transportation grain, these two cities military provisions supplies of soldiers started to become serious. Therefore Dionysius ordered Leptines to strengthen and increase to Krimisa to the attack number of times and intensity of Thurii this long section coast, particularly to Roscianum. 而他的哥哥狄奥尼修斯却愈发看重了这种袭扰的方式,据说是狄奥尼修斯得到了一点来自克里米萨和阿斯普鲁斯图姆的内部消息,由于频繁的袭击导致戴奥尼亚向南部前线运输粮食受到影响,这两座城内的士兵们的军粮供应开始吃紧。因此狄奥尼修斯勒令莱普提涅斯加强、加大对克里米萨到图里伊这一长段海岸的袭击次数和强度,尤其是对卡斯特隆。 Was for successive several days continuous in the Crotone rain, the land mud, the Syracuse army met the difficulty the camping, attacked a city not to mention. Since is unable the storm, Dionysius to use other brain temporarily. Yesterday he sent out the envoy to go to Roscianum, attempted to make Roscianum reverse to Syracuse. Even he also considered that makes the Leptines fleet load several thousand over ten thousand soldiers to invest into to the situation destruction of Theonia intimate territory during, attacks the morale of his people, undermines its allied country's confidence to the Theonia. 在克罗托内连续几天都阴雨绵绵,土地泥泞,锡拉库扎军队连宿营都遇到了困难,更别提攻城了。既然暂时无法强攻,狄奥尼修斯就动起了别的脑筋。昨天他派出使者前往卡斯特隆,企图让卡斯特隆倒向锡拉库扎。甚至他还考虑让莱普提涅斯的舰队装载几千上万名士兵投入到对戴奥尼亚腹心领地的大势破坏之中,打击其民众的士气,降低其盟邦对戴奥尼亚的信心。 Meanwhile, Dionysius also sends out the envoy to Taranto, discussed whether must send out the reinforcements, with the aim of capturing Heraclea as soon as possible with joint forces, invades the Theonia territory from the northeast truly. 同时,狄奥尼修斯还向塔兰图姆派出使者,商讨是否要派出援军,以便尽快合力夺取赫拉克利亚,从东北方真正入侵戴奥尼亚的领地。 Does not need to consider so many as nauarch Leptines, he only need lead the fleet every day, when the soldiers and sailors come ashore to rob, closely observes closely the north, prevents the foray of Theonia fleet, therefore Leptines makes his fleet patrol in the distance disembarking place far sea area, this can play the role that whats the eyes don't see the heart isn't troubled about. 作为海军统帅的莱普提涅斯不用去考虑那么多,他每天只需带领舰队在士兵和水手们上岸抢劫的时候,紧紧盯住北方,防止戴奥尼亚舰队的突然袭击,因此莱普提涅斯让他的舰队游弋在距离登岸地点较远的海域,这样可以起到眼不见心不烦的作用。 In he hides in the deck temporarily to build in the crude tent that naps, transmits flag captain exciting yelling of: „General! General! Good news! Good news!” 就在他躲进甲板上临时搭建的简陋帐篷里打盹时,传来旗舰舰长兴奋的叫喊:“将军！将军！好消息！好消息！” „What good news?” Leptines is rubbing the sleepy eyes. “什么好消息？”莱普提涅斯揉着睡眼。 „The soldier who the express steamer incoming telegram, came ashore to rob a moment ago held a captive, he confessed saying that ‚their archon Davos came back, and was elected by the people yesterday for the king, this new king also made the commitment, today will personally lead the Theonia navy to go to battle, repels us!’” “刚才快船来报,上岸抢劫的士兵抓住了一个俘虏,他供认说,‘他们的执政官戴弗斯回来了,并且在昨天被民众们推选为国王,这个新国王还作出承诺,今天将亲自率领戴奥尼亚海军出战,击退我们！’” „Can Davos lead the navy to go to battle?!” Leptines the spirit inspires immediately: Theonia elects what king he not to care, he only cared has hidden the Theonia fleet in Crati river must come out finally, moreover his Elder Brother some archon Davos of fear have led. “戴弗斯要率领海军出战？！”莱普提涅斯顿时精神一振:戴奥尼亚选什么国王他不关心,他只在乎一直躲在克拉蒂河里的戴奥尼亚舰队终于要出来了,而且还是他哥哥一直有些畏惧的执政官戴弗斯率领。 He jumps: „Where is captive at?!” 他一跳而起:“俘虏在哪？！” „Captive brings to embark, in bow!” “俘虏已经带上船了,就在船首！” Leptines rushes to the bow immediately with stride, saw that seemingly timid honest Theonian. 莱普提涅斯立刻大步奔向船首,见到了那个看似胆怯老实的戴奥尼亚人。 The captive dreads is shivering, the news that not only will know reveals completely, but also entreated Leptines to release him, do not sell him for the slave. 那俘虏畏惧的颤抖着,不但将所知的消息全部吐露出来,而且还哀求莱普提涅斯释放他,不要将他卖为奴隶。 Leptines happy said to him: „If you confess is the truth, you not only will not become the slave, will also obtain my rewarding!” 莱普提涅斯心情舒畅的对他说道:“如果你所供认的都是实情的话,你不但不会成为奴隶,还将得到我的赏赐！” Captives immediately loud pledged to the god: He said is the facts! 俘虏立刻大声的向神祗发誓:他所说的都是事实！ Leptines has not managed him again, turns around to say to the captain loudly: „Immediately sends out the signal, making the fleet march forward to north! Sends all express steamers, gives me to search comprehensively! Who first discovered that Theonia fleet, who will obtain my rich reward!” 莱普提涅斯没有再理他,转身对船长大声说道:“立刻发出信号,让舰队向北行进！把所有的快船都派出去,给我全面的搜索！谁先发现戴奥尼亚的舰队,谁就会得到我丰厚的奖赏！” „Yes, General!” The captain is also excited, he after approaching the express steamer of flagship transmits the order of Leptines, turns around to deck under the cabin to shout: „Sluggards, quick-action! Moves! Blows flute, with two times of thick liquid fast! Two times of thick liquid fast!” “是,将军！”舰长也兴奋起来,他对靠近旗舰的快船传达完莱普提涅斯的命令后,转身对甲板下的船舱大喊:“懒鬼们,快动起来！动起来！吹笛手,用二倍的浆速！二倍浆速！” The bugle horn sound resounds as well as flagship sudden shift and speed sped up bringing to the attention of neighboring warship suddenly, they make the corresponding change immediately, and from inside to outside, transmitted rapidly this change. 号角声响起以及旗舰突然的转向、速度的骤然加快引起了邻近战船的注意,他们立刻作出了相应的改变,并且从内到外,将这种变化迅速传递出去。 Note: Some readers proposed that question Greece three thick liquid warship impossible 60 meters, possibly is 60 chi (0.33 m). According to the present Athens city contrasts the Piraeus mouth archaeology to unearth, anchors there three thick liquid warship remains, only ship's bottom most jumbo size for 121.5 feet( 37 meters), but according to the document that ancient Athens left behind demonstrated: At that time Athens richest banker Parson served as „three thick liquid warship subsidization people”, he invested the fighting captain 52 meters of construction, 8 meters in width. As Davos your majesty place ship, I the captain will increase to 60 meters slightly, should not be considered as that too exaggerating. 注:有读者提出疑问希腊三层浆战船不可能60米长,可能是60尺。根据现在雅典城市对比雷埃夫斯港口考古挖掘,停泊在那里的三层浆战船遗骸,仅船底的最大尺寸就为121.5英尺(37米),而根据古代雅典遗留的文件显示:当时雅典最富有的银行家帕森作为“三层浆战船资助人”来进行服役,他投资建造的战船长52米,宽8米。作为戴弗斯陛下的座舰,我稍微将船长增加到60米,应该不算是太夸张吧。
