Davos can feel that in their words that heavy expectation, he sprinkles however smiles, said: „Regarding the Syracuse person, you do not need to be worried. What you should be worried after is beat the Syracuse person, do we have enough manpower to govern south Magna Graecia these lands!” 戴弗斯能感觉到他们话里那沉甸甸的期望,他洒然一笑,说道:“对于锡拉库扎人,你们不用担心。你们应该担心的是等击败锡拉库扎人之后,我们有没有足够的人手去治理大希腊南部的那些土地！” When the senior statesmen, Davos turned head deeply looked into east one in consternation the Thurii city the hill of overlooking the river, he knows that his wife and children also in stared certainly to here, hopes for him soon the triumphant return...... 在元老们愕然之际,戴弗斯扭头深深的眺望了一眼东面图里伊城内临河的山丘,他知道他的妻子和孩子们一定也在向这边凝望,期盼他早日胜利归来…… „We walk.” He coughs lightly, transfers the horse's head, bringing the convoy guard to step the wooden bridge. “我们走。”他轻咳一声,调转马头,带着护卫队踏上了木桥。 .......................................... …………………………………… The Syracuse soldier killed and burnt to plunder for night in the Crotone city, was hit by the untold disaster was mainly the freemen and foreigners in harbor area, promptly Crotone people that near half cannot run into health/guard city. 锡拉库扎的士兵在克罗托内城内烧杀抢掠了一夜,遭受沉重灾难的主要是港口区的自由民和外邦人,还有将近一半未能及时逃入卫城的克罗托内民众。 By next noon, most Syracuse soldiers also deep sleep in the residents in military compound or in Crotone city, to restore yesterday physical strength of excessive drain. 到了第二天中午,大部分锡拉库扎士兵还在军营或克罗托内城内的民宅中沉睡,以恢复昨日过度消耗的体力。 Dionysius got out of bed very early in the morning, leads to start to process the military affairs hand/subordinate. 狄奥尼修斯则一大早就起床了,带领着手下开始处理军务。 First is urgently needed is the wounded person issue that must solve. Although yesterday's victory was magnificent, but its loss was also very big. According to the last night preliminary statistics, light/only died in battle with the severely wounded soldier was over 5000 people, the soldier more than 4000 people of varying degrees minor wound, this weaponry hit, Syracuse lost approximately 18 military. Treats and cures the wounded person, to fill up to strength, the reconstitution army and other series of tedious business to complete as soon as possible. 首先急需要解决的就是伤员问题。昨天的战果虽然辉煌,但其损失也很大。据昨晚初步的统计,光战死和重伤的士兵就超过了5000人,还有不同程度轻伤的士兵4000多人,这一仗打下来,锡拉库扎就损失了约18的兵力。救治伤员、补充兵员、重编部队等一系列繁琐的事务要尽快完成。 Regarding the most time-consuming strenuous cleaning up battlefield and burying corpse, is instead easiest to complete. Only needed to become over ten thousand Crotone people of captive to act as the labor force on the line. When many captives died in battle in the cautious reorganization inside and outside the city wall Crotone soldier remains, wails! When many captives drag entrains the Syracuse soldier body, quietly tramples and scolds, vents the anger in heart! 对于最费时费力的清理战场、埋葬尸体,反而是最容易完成的。只需要将已经成为俘虏的上万名克罗托内民众去充当劳力就行了。多少俘虏在小心翼翼的整理战死在城墙内外的克罗托内士兵遗体时,嚎啕大哭！又有多少俘虏拖拽锡拉库扎士兵尸体时,悄悄的又踹又骂,发泄心中的愤怒！ Regarding Dionysius, this is not the matter that he cares about, the second matter that he cares about is Crotone health/guard city. This health/guard city is situated in the Crotone city center southerly position, establishes on a hill, health/guard Chengnei has the Magna Graecia maximum Apollo temple group, therefore Crotone Apollo health/guard city is in Magna Graecia city-state is also biggest. 对于狄奥尼修斯而言,这都不是他太在意的事,他在意的第二件事就是克罗托内的卫城。这座卫城坐落在克罗托内城区中心偏南的位置,建立在一座山丘之上,卫城内有大希腊最大的阿波罗神庙群,因此克罗托内阿波罗卫城也是大希腊城邦中最大的。 When although the city falls into enemy hands and draws back guards the city is the final defensive strategy that Greek city-state can adopt frequently, Dionysius should guard, after because last night broke through the city wall, because the Syracuse soldier the daytime frigid fight caused ominous to send greatly, conducted crazy slaughtering and grabbing in the city, because of the darkness, Dionysius is unable to direct the army effectively, finally delayed the fighter aircraft, caused half of multi- Crotonians( including many soldiers) ran into health/guard city under the organization of Milo and Lysias, this enabled health/guard Chengli to have the sufficient manpower defense. 虽然当城池失守、退守卫城是希腊城邦经常会采取的最终防守策略,狄奥尼修斯本应该有所防范,但是由于昨晚攻破城墙之后,锡拉库扎士兵因为白天惨烈的战斗导致凶性大发,在城区内进行疯狂的杀戮和劫掠,又因为天黑,狄奥尼修斯无法有效的指挥部队,结果延误了战机,导致一半多克罗托内人(包括不少士兵)在米隆和吕西阿斯的组织下逃入了卫城,这使得卫城里有了充足的人手防御。 Meanwhile, health/guard city the topography is high, was surrounded by the city house, the large-scale attacking a city instrument is unable to arrive under the city wall. Only if the moving surrounding house and building, build the reliable and broad causeway, to level hill, can make attacking a city, the attacking a city car(riage) arrive under Dacheng, otherwise depends on the soldier to attack only from bottom to top, not only meets the casualties to be serious, but also is also very difficult to succeed. 同时,卫城的地势高,又被城区住宅所环绕,大型攻城器械根本无法抵达城墙下。除非扒掉周围的住宅和建筑,修筑起牢固且宽阔的堤道,以填平山丘,才能够让攻城塔、攻城车等抵达城下,否则单靠士兵从下往上进攻,不但会伤亡惨重,而且也很难成功。 However such attacking a city way needs to compare with the long-term preparation, but Dionysius now most deficient is the time, because he must command the army to attack Theonia, he does not allow he biggest enemy to have the opportunities of more respite to stabilize the territory, to form more armies. 但是这样的攻城方式需要较长时间的准备,而狄奥尼修斯现在最缺乏的就是时间,因为他还要率军进攻戴奥尼亚,他绝不允许他最大的敌人有更多的喘息之机来稳定领地、组建更多的军队。 Therefore, Dionysius sends out the envoy, threatens by the Crotone the life of people and soldier of captive, lets health/guard Chengnei the Crotonians surrender. 于是,狄奥尼修斯派出使者,以俘虏的克罗托内民众和士兵的生命相威胁,让卫城内的克罗托内人投降。 However, hid occupied a commanding position in health/guard Chengli Crotonians last night, witnessed the Syracuse person all sorts of atrocities that committed in the city, suffering in compatriots rending wailing a night, they to the Syracuse person not only dreaded and hated, in addition Syracuse person in the Scylletium tyrannical behavior, therefore they regarded Syracuse to be artificial „eat the wild animal of person”, entirely does not believe the envoy said „, so long as became the Syracuse allied country, will dispatch troops to join the Syracuse army, Dionysius will release all Crotone captives, returned the Crotone city” proposition. 然而,躲在卫城里的克罗托内人昨晚居高临下,亲眼目睹了锡拉库扎人在城内所犯下的种种暴行,在同胞们撕心裂肺的哀嚎中煎熬了一夜,他们对锡拉库扎人既畏惧又痛恨,再加上锡拉库扎人在西里庭的暴虐所为,因此他们视锡拉库扎人为“吃人的野兽”,完全不相信使者所说的“只要成为锡拉库扎盟邦,派兵加入锡拉库扎的军队,狄奥尼修斯就会释放所有的克罗托内俘虏,退还克罗托内城”的提议。 Because Lancet Camas to prevent the Syracuse person storms into the city to grab, the people that the protection is fleeing to health/guard city, make best effort to rally the routed troop, slaughters with the enemy on the Chengnei Street say/way, and died in battle finally. Lost highest military general urgent election of Crotonians in the sorrow to save their Milo is the series army general, Lysias they had not opposed. At this time, headed by Lysias and Milo Crotone high level, not only categorically rejected messenger's request, courage and determination that also to display them and Syracuse people fights to the death, they ripped the ear and nose of envoy, catches up with health/guard city him. 因为阿斯卡马斯为了阻挡锡拉库扎人攻入城内劫掠,保护正逃往卫城的民众,尽最大的努力重整溃兵,在城内街道上与敌人厮杀,并最终战死。失去了最高军事将领的克罗托内人在悲痛中紧急推选拯救了他们的米隆为统军将军,吕西阿斯他们都没有反对。此时,以吕西阿斯、米隆为首的克罗托内高层不但断然拒绝了使者的要求,还为了表现他们与锡拉库扎人决一死战的勇气和决心,他们割掉了使者的耳朵和鼻子,将他赶下卫城。 When the envoy is covering the bloody wound, to Dionysius complained tearfully, he has not displayed the big anger, but Yin deep sneering said: „Stupid Crotonians, you think that hides on that hill, did I take you not to have the means?! Hid in tens of thousands people in that young health/guard Chengli, truly can enhance the defense, but can defend hungry and thirsty!” 当使者捂着血淋淋的伤口、向狄奥尼修斯哭诉时,他并没有表现出多大的愤怒,只是阴深深的冷笑道:“愚蠢的克罗托内人,你们以为躲在那个小山上,我就拿你们没办法了吗？！在那个小小的卫城里躲进了几万人,确实能够提高防御,但是能防御得了饥饿和口渴吗！” Truly, tens of thousands people of food consumptions is a huge number, the people that climb mountains in a panic are impossible to carry a lot of grain rations, Milo, even if has prepared beforehand, could not safeguard for several days. But those who make Crotonians be worried is on the hill does not have the water source, the water used of temple priest the water storage from temple, because of couple days ago rainstorm, the water storage was actually usually full, but regarding tens of thousands people of demands, it was just futile attempt. 确实,几万人的粮食消耗是个庞大的数目,仓皇上山的民众不可能携带大量的口粮,米隆就算事先有所准备,也保障不了几天。而更让克罗托内人担心的是小山上没有水源,平时神庙祭司的用水都来自神庙里的储水池,因为前几天的暴雨,储水池倒是满满的,但对于几万人的需求,它只不过是杯水车薪而已。 Therefore, Dionysius ordered: Sends out few armies to surround Crotone health/guard city. 因此,狄奥尼修斯下令:派出少量部队包围克罗托内卫城。 He believes that Crotonians in water shortage and lacking in the situation of grain, could not insist that several days, will descend the mountain to surrender. 他相信克罗托内人在缺水、缺粮的情况下,坚持不了几天,就会下山投降。 He also wants to order the crossbow artillery to fire the marbles at health/guard city, to increase the Crotonians fear, forcing him soon to surrender. However changes mind thinks, health/guard Chengnei has the Apollo temple, if intends to destroy it, perhaps will affect the morale of soldiers. Moreover previous coming rainstorm, makes consistently the extremely arrogant his heart have the intimacy, at this important moment, he does not want to put in order what accident/surprise again. 他本来还想命令弩炮向卫城发射石弹,以增加克罗托内人的恐惧,迫使其早日投降。但是转念一想,卫城内可是有阿波罗神庙,如果有意破坏它,恐怕会影响士兵们的士气。而且上一次突然而来的暴雨,也让一向狂妄的他心有戚戚,在这关键时刻,他可不希望再整出什么意外。 In the Dionysius heart understands that Crotonians hides in health/guard city to barely manage to maintain a feeble existence, places hopes in the rescue of Theonian. But goal that the Theonia Syracuse army will soon attack, but just experienced the frigid attacking a city war later soldiers to need the recuperation, he can only continue the faction to hire the cavalry thoroughly north to reconnoiter the enemy intelligence. 狄奥尼修斯心中明白克罗托内人躲进卫城苟延残喘,是寄希望于戴奥尼亚人的救援。而戴奥尼亚正是锡拉库扎大军即将进攻的目标,只是刚刚经历了惨烈的攻城大战之后的士兵们需要休整,他只能继续派雇佣骑兵深入北面去侦察敌情。 Nummi Biya person and Celts of being insatiably greedy cannot participate to enter a city unexpectedly to grab because of last night to vent grievances. 贪得无厌的努米比亚人和凯尔特人居然因昨晚没能够参与进城劫掠而发泄不满。 Dionysius has not gotten angry unexpectedly, but also bestowed these alien race person many spoils of war especially. Because Pharacidas had once said: Copes with Theonian in the open country, these alien race cavalries is a sharp weapon. 狄奥尼修斯居然没有发火,还特地赠送了这些异族人不少战利品。因为菲比达斯曾说过:在野外对付戴奥尼亚人,这些异族骑兵是一把利器。 .................................... ……………………………… An express steamer sailed to the Crotone harbor. 一艘快船驶进了克罗托内港口。 „General, the Theonia fleet came!” The captain quickly to is inspecting the naval port and Leptines report of director anchoring warship. “将军,戴奥尼亚的舰队来了！”船长急忙向正在视察军港、指挥停泊战船的莱普提涅斯汇报。 The Syracuse navy this morning just now moves into the Crotone naval port. Compares Scylletium, the Crotone naval port is much bigger, under can hold more battleships, moreover its position approaches the Theonia territory, facilitates the trend of Syracuse navy quicker understanding Theonia fleet, better coordinates with the land army. 锡拉库扎海军是今早才刚迁入克罗托内军港的。相比较西里庭,克罗托内的军港就大得多,能容纳下更多的战舰,而且它的位置更靠近戴奥尼亚的领地,方便锡拉库扎海军更快的了解戴奥尼亚舰队的动向,更好的与陆上部队配合。 Has not thought that the fleet just entered, the sailors have not disembarked completely, the Theonia fleet attacked. Leptines beats a drum now at heart, in the surface is also maintaining calmly: „How many warships came?” 只是没想到舰队刚刚进驻,水手们还没有完全下船,戴奥尼亚的舰队就来袭了。莱普提涅斯现在是心里打鼓,表面上还维持着镇定:“来了多少战船？” The marine judgment ships number is much more difficult than in the land detection population, because a fleet of over a hundred warship when the sea level navigation, often occupies a surrounding area 56 nautical miles range, the line of sight of person is limited . Moreover the vast sea level may not supply the hiding secret place, therefore needs to near the observation, this needs to take very big risk. 海上判断船只数量比在陆地侦查人数要难得多,因为一支上百艘战船的舰队在海面航行时,往往占据方圆五六海里的范围,人的视线毕竟有限,而且一望无际的海面也没有可供藏身隐秘的地方,因此需要抵近观察,这需要冒很大风险。 „When un...... the feeling keeps up with a battle quantity to be similar.” The captain can only say a general idea. “嗯……感觉跟上一次交战时的数量差不多。”船长只能说个大概。 Then he also emphasized one: „Before these Theonia warships, on the mast is hanging the hanging bridge!” 接着他又强调了一句:“那些戴奥尼亚战船前桅杆上都挂着吊桥！” Leptines one hear, somewhat feels nervous at heart, several days ago disastrous defeat appears at present. 莱普提涅斯一听,心里有些发慌,几天前的惨败又浮现在眼前。 Meets head-on or not? He cannot make a decision suddenly unexpectedly, instead runs to go to the city to ask for instructions Dionysius. 迎战与否？他一时间竟不能决断,反而跑去城内请示狄奥尼修斯。 Dionysius knew that the Theonia fleet attack, hesitated the moment, issues the order resolutely: Meet the approaching enemy! 狄奥尼修斯得知戴奥尼亚舰队来袭,沉吟了片刻,毅然下达命令:迎击！ Regarding this, he has several considerations. 对此,他有几个考虑。 First, the situation of since reconnoitering is the Theonia fleet differs not in a big way with the previous quantity, is loaded with that so-called hanging bridge, that explained the beforehand analysis right, what because the sailor number and re-equipped the difficulty of warship to make Theonian return the use was the original warship, in the numbers of three thick liquid warships, the Syracuse navy also got the winning side slightly. 首先,既然侦察到的情况是戴奥尼亚舰队与上次数量相差不大,又都装有那个所谓的吊桥,那就说明之前的分析没错,由于水手数量和改装战船的难度使得戴奥尼亚人还使用的是原来的战船,在三层浆战船的数量上,锡拉库扎海军还略微占据上风。 Next, Dionysius as a commander, he fully realized that effect of morale on soldiers battle efficiency big, the Syracuse navy lost heavily some time ago one time, if promptly with not winning to make up, chooses to make concessions, without doubt is „extinguishes the power and prestige, rising enemy morale”, then later encounters the Theonia fleet, Syracuse navy without doubt a meeting dwarf section in fighting spirit. 其次,狄奥尼修斯作为一名统帅,他深知士气对士兵们战斗力的影响有多大,锡拉库扎海军不久前大败了一次,如果不及时用胜利去弥补、而选择退让的话,无疑是“灭自己威风,涨敌人士气”,那么以后再遭遇戴奥尼亚舰队,锡拉库扎海军就会在斗志上无疑会矮人一截。 Furthermore, the Syracuse armies are centralized in Crotone, yesterday passed through for day to struggle hard, in recuperation, if the ignores Theonia fleet with the Crotone sea level, has moveed to the military void rear area, for example Scylletium or is not Caulonia that the sincerity pledges allegiance to and other city-state nearby coast landing, will cause Syracuse army very big passive, therefore Dionysius does not allow such situation to appear. 再者,锡拉库扎的大军都集中在克罗托内,昨天又经过了一天苦战,正在休整中,如果放任戴奥尼亚舰队同过克罗托内海面,驶向兵力空虚的后方,比如说西里庭或者本就不是真心归顺的考伦尼亚等城邦附近的海岸登陆,将会导致锡拉库扎军队很大的被动,所以狄奥尼修斯绝不允许这样的情况出现。 ....................................... ………………………………… Although this is the second time that the Sekrian rate/lead fleet went to battle, but in his heart, this is the true first independence leads the team, without King Davos in side, would have no constrained feeling of being timid to act. 虽然这是塞克利安第二次率舰队出征,但在他心中,这才是真正的第一次独立率队,没有戴弗斯国王在身边,也就没有了缩手缩脚的拘束感。
