„Good, you are a commander, you decide.” Epiphanes shrugs toward Philesius again, turns around to complain to Agasias: „I said that chief executive Sir, can make the wheat flour to the brothers, really does not have the oats is also good, at least can cook gruel to drink. The brothers ate two days of dry/does beef continually, now defecates continually is a little difficult.” “好吧,你是指挥官,你说了算。”埃皮忒尼斯再次朝斐利修斯耸耸肩,转身对阿加西亚抱怨道:“我说行政长官大人,能不能给兄弟们弄点小麦面粉,实在没有燕麦也行啊,至少可以熬粥喝。兄弟们一连吃了两天的干牛肉,现在连拉屎都有点困难了。” „As fourth regiment legatus, you are not does not know, the fourth regiment half of soldiers from here, how here people will treat unjustly oneself family member. However Aprustum is a small town, the population are not many, the non- fertile ofwheat, people's unnecessary grain in storage was also given to eat clean in these days by you, where also has the grain!” Agasias helpless saying. “作为第四军团军团长,你又不是不知道,第四军团一半的士兵都来自这里,这里的民众又怎会亏待自己的亲人。但是阿斯普鲁斯图姆是个小城,人口不多,又不盛产小麦,民众多余的存粮也都被你们在这几天里给吃光了,哪里还有粮食啊！”阿加西亚无奈的说道。 „Endures again, the Syracuse cavalry shut off our transporting grain path, I have let the detection team to your majesty took away ‚our food supply difficulty’ the news, believes how long could not want, your majesty led the army to arrive, the grain question will be solved.” Philesius also comforted him to say. “再忍一忍吧,锡拉库扎的骑兵切断了我们的运粮通路,我已经让侦查队给陛下带去了‘我们粮食供应困难’的消息,相信要不了多久,陛下率大军到来,粮食问题就会得到解决。”斐利修斯也安慰他说。 „! Wait/Etc.! Waits!......” Epiphanes , since Drakos dies, the mood becomes more and more anxious, he is not willing to stay in the official mansion, said loudly: „I go to the city to have a look at the situation.” “等！等！还是等！……”埃皮忒尼斯自从德拉科斯死后,情绪变得越来越焦躁,他不愿在官邸呆下去,大声说道:“我去城上看看情况。” Saying, him was walking with stride. 说着,他大步走了出去。 Agasias looks at Philesius that sits is in a daze, he felt profoundly the Drakos death has very tremendous effect on these two, he himself is so. Initially he invited Timasion and Kerry Anders and other past allies to come Theonia, result these people actually to attack Krimisa arbitrarily, produced the second Crotone war, although Crotone defeated finally, the Theonia influence has been expanded, Davos has also never blamed him, but he himself actually exceptionally rebuked oneself. Henceforth, Agasias lots of energy will invest into the politics, to put behind innermost feelings guilt. Through several years of tempering, he, because the administrative ability is good, becomes in this group of former mercenaries senior statesmen second to be appointed as the person of chief executive( first is Hielos). 阿加西亚看了看坐着发呆的斐利修斯,他深刻的感觉到德拉科斯的死对这两人都有很大的影响,他自己又何尝不是如此。当初他邀请提马宋、克里安德等昔日战友来戴奥尼亚,结果这些人却擅自攻打克里米萨,引发了第二次克罗托内战争,虽然最终克罗托内战败,戴奥尼亚的势力得到扩张,戴弗斯也从未责怪过他,但他自己却异常自责。从此,阿加西亚将大量的精力投入到政事上,以忘却内心的愧疚。通过几年的磨砺,他因为行政能力不错,成为这一批前雇佣军元老中第二位被任命为行政长官的人(第一位是希洛斯)。 With accumulation of political experience, places Aprustum, has to do with Crotone for a long time, he fully realized Crotonians regarding the losing south intent overlords have is unwilling, especially after these years strength has restored, they in south intent Union a lot give Theonia to enter into rivalry, therefore issues regarding King Davos ‚can not attack rashly’ in order his heart has another guess: Your majesty as if has ignores Syracuse to weaken the meaning of Crotone. But as the matter stands, does Theonia have the independence to defeat the Syracuse ability?! 随着政治经验的积累,又身处阿斯普鲁斯图姆,长期与克罗托内打交道,他是深知克罗托内人对于失去南意霸主有多么的不甘心,尤其在这几年实力有所恢复后,他们在南意同盟中没少给戴奥尼亚唱对台戏,因此对于戴弗斯国王下达的‘不得贸然出击’的命令他心中有另一种揣测:陛下似乎有放任锡拉库扎削弱克罗托内的意思。但这样一来,戴奥尼亚有独立战胜锡拉库扎的能力吗？！ .................................... ……………………………… Crotone siege warfare continuously in intense conducts. 克罗托内攻城战一直在激烈的进行。 The Syracuse person's abdomen bow in bow soldier and tower that attacking a city tower using the tower peak stands tall and erect, sweeps clean the garrison troops of top, while approaches to the city wall slowly. 锡拉库扎人利用攻城塔高耸的塔身顶端的弓兵和塔中的腹弓,一边扫清城头的守军,一边缓缓向城墙靠近。 But Crotonians also discussed that in these 2-3 days of the means of some defense attacking a city towers, for example long-distance uses the crossbow artillery converging attack, with rocket attack ; After waiting for the attacking a city tower to approach, then threw the oil pot, burnt down with the fire ; Meanwhile they also manufactured one type long is wrapping iron sheet side wood, is used for the ejection attacking a city tower, does not let it close to the city wall...... 而克罗托内人在这2-3天的时间内也商量出一些防御攻城塔的办法,比如远程用弩炮集中攻击,用火箭攻击;等攻城塔靠近了之后,则投掷油罐,用火焚烧;同时他们还制作了一种长长的包着铁皮的方木,用来推顶攻城塔,不让它靠近城墙…… Even if made effort so, still several attacking a city towers approached the city wall, put down the wooden bridge, the Syracuse soldier welled up the top through the attacking a city tower, launched intense battle with the garrison troops. 即使是做出了这般的努力,也有好几座攻城塔靠近了城墙,放下了木桥,锡拉库扎士兵通过攻城塔涌上城头,与守军展开激烈的厮杀。 Lysias dispatches troops to reinforce urgently, after the frigid fight, 11 catches up with the top the enemy. 吕西阿斯紧急派兵增援,经过惨烈的战斗,才将敌人一一赶下城头。 But in Crotonians places in the main force the protection attacking a city tower, the Syracuse soldier multiple through then out scaling ladder climbs up the top, launches the fierce combat with the garrison troops. 而就在克罗托内人将主要力量都放在防备攻城塔上时,锡拉库扎士兵多次通过云梯爬上城头,与守军展开激战。 Crotone and Terina and Scylletium allied armies have been defending tenaciously. 克罗托内与特里纳、西里庭联军一直在顽强防御。 Fought to afternoon, the Syracuse attacking a city crushed the Crotone north gate, but Crotonians has used the stone and wood/blockhead to block the entry. 战至下午,锡拉库扎的攻城城击碎了克罗托内北城门,但克罗托内人早已用石块、木头封死了门洞。 However several other attacking a city car(riage) and combination of boat lion car(riage), eventually causes a city wall to collapse, in the city the garrison troops casualties are serious. 但是另外几座攻城车与舟狮车的联合使用,最终导致一段城墙倒塌,城上守军伤亡惨重。 The Syracuse soldier seizes the chance the pitch of fast climbing up collapse, wants to break in the city. 锡拉库扎士兵趁机快速的爬上倒塌的斜坡,想要冲入城内。 The reserve forces of Lysias organization catch up luckily promptly, this team comprised of the freeman, old person and youngster is taking advantage of the fighting spirit of huge population and security homeland, resists the vicious attack of experienced Syracuse soldier reluctantly. 幸好吕西阿斯组织的预备队及时赶来,这支由自由民、老人和少年组成的队伍依仗着庞大的人数和保卫家园的斗志,勉强抵挡住经验丰富的锡拉库扎士兵的凶狠进攻。 The time to the dusk, the weather has faded out, Lysias, Siprus and other allied armies heads look the happy expression, thinks that finally supported fight of this day to finish. 时间已至黄昏,天色渐暗,吕西阿斯、西普洛斯等联军首脑都面露喜气,以为终于撑到了这一天的战斗结束。 However, Dionysius absolutely does not have the plan to withdraw troops to return to the camp, he makes the slaves push the wood wheel car(riage)s, on the vehicle is packing the lumber, asphalt and resin, in also to pile up the oakum that spread the oil, advances near them the moat, lights with the fire, immediately ignites piles of fire, illuminates the entire city wall. 但是,狄奥尼修斯根本就没打算就此收兵回营,他让奴隶们推着一个个木轮车,车上装满木材、沥青、树脂、里面还堆放着涂了油的麻絮,把它们推到护城河边,用火点燃,顿时燃起一堆堆大火,照亮整个城墙。 Dionysius ordered immediately: Sounds to attack the bugle, strikes the sound battle drum , to continue to attack a city! 狄奥尼修斯当即下令:吹响进攻军号,擂响战鼓,继续攻城！ Was supporting and thinks the garrison troops that by strenuous efforts the fight should finish actually see Syracuse person one wave to draw back, another wave attacks, endless, the morale of garrison troops for it Ju. 原本就在苦苦支撑、以为战斗应该结束的守军却见锡拉库扎人一波退下去,又一波攻上来,无休无止,守军的士气为之一沮。 But Syracuse person unremitting attacking a city of obtained the return diligently finally. Under urging of soldiers, after sacrificing innumerable lives, because defends weakening of strength, the captives build on city ramp to pile up the city wall the sandbag finally. 而锡拉库扎人不懈的攻城努力终于得到了回报。在士兵们的催逼下,在牺牲了无数生命之后,因为守备力量的减弱,俘虏们修筑的上城斜道终于将沙袋垒上了城墙。 The long-awaited Syracuse soldier rushes to the top, launches to slaughter with the garrison troops that coming to obstruct. But Dionysius that in the heart worries even makes convoy guard invest into the fight of this top. 等待已久的锡拉库扎士兵冲上城头,与前来阻截的守军展开厮杀。而心中着急的狄奥尼修斯甚至让身边的护卫队都投入到这个城头的战斗中。 The garrison troops cannot support again, start to withdraw, thus makes the Syracuse person stand firm in the top, and rapidly expands to other direction places. 守军再也支撑不住,开始后撤,从而让锡拉库扎人在城头站稳了脚跟,并且迅速向其他方向地方扩展。 „Quickly! Looks for Lysias quickly! Told him, sent the reinforcements quickly, otherwise north city could not defend!” Askamas breathless shouted toward the messenger. “快！快去找吕西阿斯！告诉他,快派援军,否则北城守不住啦！”阿斯卡玛斯气急败坏的朝着传令兵大喊。 However at this moment, the Crotone city north , south three are suffering the storm, the east side harbor must guard against large quantities of enemy ships that patrol in the offshore sea level to land, the only reserve forces are resisting from the enemy of city wall gap attack with hardship, where also has the unnecessary reinforcements. 然而此刻,克罗托内城北、西、南三面都在遭受强攻,东面港口要防备在近海海面游弋的大批敌船登陆,唯一的预备队正苦苦抵挡从城墙缺口进攻的敌军,哪里还有多余的援军。 When Crotone general, because the military is beset with problems, helplessly looks that wells up the enemy in top wreaks havoc, „bang!...... Bang!......” Is several bangs, a city wall was beaten by the attacking a city car(riage) again. In the dust flies upwards, along with howling of Syracuse person, Crotonians that fights for the homeland looks the scared look finally, taking advantage of concealing of dim light of night, starts startled yelling: „Escapes quickly! The enemies killed! The city broken!......” 就在克罗托内将领们因为兵力捉襟见肘,眼睁睁的看着涌上城头的敌人肆虐之际,“轰！……轰！……”又是几声巨响,一段城墙再次被攻城车击垮。在尘土飞扬中,伴随着锡拉库扎人的吼叫,为家园而战的克罗托内人终于面露惧色,借着夜色的掩饰,开始惊慌的叫喊:“快逃啊！敌人杀进来了！城破啦！……” The morale not the high reserve forces retreated, shortly after the garrison troops in city start to retreat...... 士气本就不高的预备队溃退,没多久城上的守军开始溃退…… The Syracuse person breaks through the impediment of city wall in abundance, breaks in the city, the entire north city defends is broken through completely. 锡拉库扎人纷纷冲破城墙的阻隔,冲入城内,整个北城防御完全被攻破。 Lysias, Sisticos and other high-level distressed seeing: The panic soldiers disregard their dissuading, such as the tide has run from their side generally, escapes to the city deep place ; Street both sides people also bring along the old and young, with runs away together ; Wept and wailed the sound, the squeal, scream resounds through the entire city...... 吕西阿斯、西斯普罗提斯等高层痛心的看到:惊慌失措的士兵们无视他们的劝阻,如潮水一般从他们身旁跑过,逃向城区深处;街道两旁的民众也扶老携幼,跟着一起逃窜;哭喊声,尖叫声,惨叫声响彻全城…… Saw that the enemy is eliminating the garrison troops of city wall, is pushing onward to the city center, although Lysias is burning with impatience, is actually at a loss completely, does not know how should manage is good. 眼看着敌人正在肃清城墙的守军,正在向城中心挺进,吕西阿斯虽然心急如焚,却完全乱了方寸,不知该如何办才好。 At this time, presented long line comprised of the city deep place the flare: „Goes to the Apollo temple quickly!!! Goes to the Apollo temple quickly!!!......” 这时,从城区深处出现一条条由火把组成的长龙:“快去阿波罗神庙！！！快去阿波罗神庙！！！……” This neat shout reminded the scared Crotone people, they under the illumination of flare, running of staggering to city center nearby health/guard city Location Apollo temple. 这整齐的喊声提醒了恐慌中的克罗托内民众,他们在火把的照明下,踉跄的跑向城区中心附近的卫城所在地-阿波罗神庙。 Lysias one group of also overtake. 吕西阿斯一行人也赶了过去。 „Is who makes you do that?!” The Lysias anxious sound inquired that holds the soldier of flare. “是谁让你们这么做的？！”吕西阿斯急声询问执火把的士兵。 „Is General Milo!” Soldier reply. “是米隆将军！”士兵回答。 This time Milo at all was not the general, he defended the harbor duty or Lancet Camas asks to him, but this did not hinder the soldiers to his respect. 这时的米隆根本不是什么将军,他防御港口的任务还是阿斯卡马斯给他求来的,但这并不妨碍士兵们对他的尊敬。 But Lysias also has no interest in haggle over these at this time, on the contrary is grateful to Milo in the innermost feelings, if not his prompt adopting measure, the guidance people go to health/guard city, its consequence is dreadful. 而吕西阿斯此时也无心计较这些,相反在内心中对米隆是感激的,如果不是他及时的采取措施,引导民众去卫城,其后果不堪设想。 He then looks at the city wall that the flame soars to the heavens, looks that some person's shadow numerous soldiers are still going all out to resist the attack of enemy, scream continuously, feel like a knife twisting in the heart immediately. 他回头望了望火光冲天的城墙,看着人影重重的部分士兵们还在拼命阻挡敌人的进攻,惨叫声此起彼伏,顿时心如刀绞。 His concerned reminder soldier: „Enemy will soon kill, you must hurry back to health/guard city as soon as possible!” Speaks, he and others integrate the chaotic stream of people, they must hurry to health/guard city although, with the aim of comforting the startled people, maintains the good health/guard city order, meanwhile must organize the people, defends the Crotone final fortress- health/guard city. 他关切的提醒身旁的士兵:“敌人不久就会杀来,你们也要尽快赶回卫城！”说完话,他和其他人融入混乱的人流,他们必须尽管赶去卫城,以便安抚惊慌的民众,维护好卫城秩序,同时还要将民众组织起来,守住克罗托内最后的堡垒-卫城。 .................................... ……………………………… „Sir, we won! We broke through the Crotone city!!” Damocles is excited. “大人,我们赢了！我们攻破了克罗托内城！！”达摩克利斯激动万分。 Dionysius is also difficult to conceal the joyous feelings, accepts aides' blessing, he immediately devout prayed to Apollo, to express his sense of gratitude. 狄奥尼修斯同样难掩喜悦之情,接受完侍从们的祝福,他立刻虔诚的向阿波罗祈祷,以表达他的感激之情。 In cheers, was lost in thought Pharacidas to appear some alternatives. Today's siege warfare to he very big shock, is not only these manufacture ingenious and powerful attacking a city instruments, the organization of entire huge attacking a city team is also quite ordered, but made him feel what heart startled was Dionysius ruthless spicy. 在一片欢呼声中,陷入沉思中的菲比达斯就显得有些另类了。今天的攻城战给了他很大的震撼,不光是那些制作巧妙、功能强大的攻城器械,整个庞大攻城队伍的组织也相当有序,但令他感到心惊的是狄奥尼修斯的狠辣。 Dionysius to the soldier and team unexpectedly pain that under the attacking a city attack fail, flees the battlefield the killer, this is simply inconceivable! In the traditional Greek war, has not handled the approach of military deserter, Sparta does not have such tradition, after all the entire Sparta society will advocate the combat glory the atmosphere to make military deserter nowhere take shelter. However Dionysius not only did, but also more than once, thus forces the Syracuse soldiers to ignore the life and death, goes all out to attack, created unexpectedly broke through the miracle of Magna Graecia strong nation Crotone city in one day. 狄奥尼修斯对攻城进攻失败、逃离战场的士兵和队伍竟然痛下杀手,这简直不可思议！传统的希腊战争中,从来没有处置逃兵的做法,就连斯巴达也没有这样的传统,毕竟整个斯巴达社会崇尚战斗荣誉的氛围会让逃兵无处容身。但是狄奥尼修斯不但做了,而且不止一次,从而逼迫锡拉库扎士兵们不顾生死,拼命进攻,竟然创造了在一天之内就攻破了大希腊强邦克罗托内城的奇迹。 This made Pharacidas think that to the past Dionysius of bad field operation held in high esteem, perhaps however such a victory established, in Dionysius did not care about the soldier casualty in the foundation. 这让菲比达斯对以往认为不善野战的狄奥尼修斯刮目相看,但是这样的一个胜利恐怕是建立在狄奥尼修斯不在乎士兵死亡人数的基础上的。
