When the second regiment will soon arrive at Rackow Sungai Eli wooden bridge, several mounted scouts who send slightly startled returns from the front rapidly: „Reported legatus, cavalry who the front discovered the enemy, quantity approximately by-” 在第二军团即将到达拉科埃利河木桥时,派出去的几名侦骑略显惊慌的从前方急速返回:“报告军团长,前方发现敌人的骑兵,数量大约由-” The mounted scouts finish barely the words, Rackow Sungai Eli opposite shore has presented the form that the enemy has ridden, their skins are dark, are hanging loose the black hair, only wears the frail short sleeve inferior (Asia) hempen garments, in the hand takes the javelin, is red the both feet, on some horsebacks has not even laid down the cushion, actually these horses act appear vigorous flexible. They about over a hundred ride, facing toward the huge army that they march forward, actually does not have the scared look, static standing in the riverside, looks at the opposite shore...... Amintas to feel deceitful and Yin offense that in the vision that they shoot has. 侦骑话音未落,拉科埃利河对岸已经出现了敌骑的身影,他们皮肤黝黑,披散着黑发,只穿着单薄的短袖亚麻衣,手中拿着标枪,赤着双脚,有的马背上甚至没有铺设坐垫,倒是那些马匹行动间显得矫健灵活。他们大约有上百骑,面对朝着他们行进的庞大军队,竟然毫无惧色,静静的站在河边,望着对岸……阿明塔斯能感觉到他们射来的目光中所带有的狡诈和阴戾。 Is this Nummi Biya cavalry?! Amintas is recalling the description in beforehand combat report, curious is taking a look at them, in the heart raises does not fear intent, but is excited: „Makes the light infantry brigade send 200 archers to defend in the riverside, the enemy cavalry opposite shore expels. Other light infantries are following close on the first brigade, when my order, crosses a bridge rapidly!” 这就是努米比亚骑兵？！阿明塔斯回忆着之前战报中的描述,好奇的打量着他们,心中升起的不是惧意,而是兴奋:“让轻步兵大队派200名弓箭手守在河边,将对岸的敌人骑兵赶开。其他轻步兵紧跟着第一大队,等我的命令,迅速过桥！” The second regiment goes into action rapidly, the archers rush to the riverside, has not waited for their release arrow, Nummi Biya cavalry in opposite shore runs immediately far, the second regiment relaxed pass wooden bridge. 第二军团迅速行动起来,弓箭手们赶到河边,还没等他们放箭,在对岸的努米比亚骑兵立刻跑远,第二军团轻松的度过木桥。 In Amintas considered whether when must launch the form of second regiment by Division, assumes scale the double thread „two” formation, coordinates forward even push with the seventh regiment, these like the fly patrols when the surrounding enemy rides expels, the messenger has the order of Davos to rush: Do not go to manage these cavalries , to continue to march on the main road, must rush to Krimisa before the dusk! 就在阿明塔斯考虑是否要将第二军团以分队的形式展开时,呈鱼鳞似的双线“二”阵型,与第七军团配合向前平推,将这些像苍蝇一样游弋在周围的敌骑赶走时,传令兵带着戴弗斯的命令赶到:不要去管那些骑兵,继续在大道上行军,必须在黄昏前赶到克里米萨！ Amintas has to eliminate to attempt, marches in the garrison way again. 阿明塔斯只好打消企图,重新以纵队方式行军。 Nummi Biya cavalry just started still to clash once for a while rapidly by the main road, cries out strangely several, throws a round of javelin, but was shot down several rider by the light infantries after the bow and arrow, changes is more discrete. 努米比亚骑兵刚开始还在大道两旁时不时急速冲过来,怪叫几声,投上一轮标枪,但被轻步兵们用弓箭射落几名骑手之后,就变的谨慎许多。 Like this pestered some little time, suddenly the front had the enemy to ride to catch up, is yelling loudly anything, then these cavalries started to return in abundance remove. 就这样纠缠了好一会,突然前方有敌骑赶来,大声叫喊着什么,然后这些骑兵开始纷纷回撤。 Quick, does not have these „look was ugly” the form of Nummi Biya person in the line of sight of second regiment soldiers again. 很快,在第二军团士兵们的视线里就再也没有了这些“相貌丑陋”的努米比亚人的身影。 The soldiers do not know that what happened, Amintas can guess correctly the reason indistinctly: Possibly was the Theonia fleet that went to battle with achieved the naval battle success, these hired the cavalry to be worried that the Theonia fleet controlled Crotone nearby sea level, will hit the bateau-bridge that on Neto river built with the warship, and blocked Neto river, the employment cavalry who then these wreaked havoc in the Theonia territory is unable to return to the Syracuse big camp to be isolated outside, became an abandoned child, will certainly encounter the anger of soldiers to strangle to death. 士兵们不知道发生了什么事,阿明塔斯隐约能猜到原因:可能是出征的戴奥尼亚舰队又获得了海战胜利,这些雇佣骑兵担心戴奥尼亚舰队控制了克罗托内的附近海面,会用战船撞断内托河上搭建的浮桥,并且封锁内托河,那么这些在戴奥尼亚领地上肆虐的雇佣骑兵将无法返回锡拉库扎大营而被隔绝在外,成为一枚弃子,必将会遭到士兵们的愤怒绞杀。 .......................................... …………………………………… The fact also truly so, Nummi Biya cavalry as well as when Crotone Northern Plain Celtic cavalry distressed escaping Neto river of, have the Theonia warship to appear in Hekou. 事实也确实如此,努米比亚骑兵以及在克罗顿北部平原的凯尔特骑兵狼狈的逃过内托河时,已经有戴奥尼亚战船出现在河口。 Nummi Biya person gives Dionysius the news return that they find out. 努米比亚人将他们探得的消息回报给狄奥尼修斯。 „Did the Theonia reinforcements come? Such quickly?!” law Schiepe Sars is surprised, yesterday the army just broke through the Crotone city, today Theonian hurriedly caught up. “戴奥尼亚的援军来了？这么快？！”法西佩萨斯感到惊讶,昨天部队才刚刚攻破克罗托内城,今天戴奥尼亚人就急匆匆的赶来了。 „Some how many people?” Astaburuaga Glass urgently asked. “有多少人？”阿斯塔格拉斯急问。 flatter stream Rheta stretches out three fingers: „About 30,000 people.” 阿溪里塔伸出三根手指:“大约3万人。” „30,000......” Astaburuaga Glass estimates to say earnestly: „In the Aprustum city more than 10,000 Theonia soldiers, in the Crimean city have about about 10,000...... like this, Theonia after arriving at the Crotone territory, will gather more than 50,000 soldiers, this is also a big number!” “3万……”阿斯塔格拉斯认真的估算道:“阿斯普鲁斯图姆城里大约有1万多戴奥尼亚士兵,克里米亚城里大约有将近1万……这样算起来,戴奥尼亚在来到克罗托内的领地后,将会聚集起5万多士兵,这也算是不小的数目！” „Do not forget to be counted these heavy infantries on Theonia warship.” law Schiepe Sars reminded Astaburuaga Glass: „The Theonia military at least has 60,000 people!” “你别忘了算上戴奥尼亚战船上的那些重步兵。”法西佩萨斯提醒阿斯塔格拉斯:“戴奥尼亚的兵力至少有6万人！” „The soldier on Theonia warship fought with all might the half of the day with our soldiers, they could not remain many people.” Astaburuaga Brother Russ refuted. “戴奥尼亚战船上的士兵跟我们的士兵拼杀了半天,他们剩不了多少人。”阿斯塔哥拉斯反驳道。 „You must acknowledge that Theonian can capture our so many warships, explained that the losses of their soldier are not quite big.” law Schiepe Sars insists oneself opinion. “你必须要承认戴奥尼亚人能够俘虏我们那么多战船,说明他们士兵的损失并不太大。”法西佩萨斯坚持自己的意见。 Pharacidas silently is listening to these two Syracuse general quarrel military how much, raises to envy at heart: When Syracuse and Theonia, west these two Mediterranean strong presence conducts the war, sets out the population of soldier frequently over 50,000 people, this is Sparta and its allied country is unable till. 菲比达斯默默的听着这两位锡拉库扎将领争吵兵力的多寡,心里不禁升起一丝羡慕:锡拉库扎和戴奥尼亚,这两个西地中海的强大势力进行战争时,出动士兵的人数动辄就在5万人以上,这是斯巴达和其盟邦所无法迄及的。 At this time, another Nummi Biya person side flatter stream Rheta said several in Nummi Biya language loudly. 这时,在阿溪里塔身边的另一个努米比亚人用努米比亚语大声的说了几句。 law Schiepe Sars stops immediately with colleague's argument, curious asking: „What did he say?” 法西佩萨斯立刻停止与同僚的争论,好奇的问道:“他说什么？” flatter stream Rheta replied: „My subordinate said, ‚ enemy has few people to wear the black armor, has few people to put on with your same armor, some people have not worn the armor, and has not taken the weapon.” 阿溪里塔回答:“我的手下说,‘敌人有一部分人穿着黑色的盔甲,有一部分人穿着和你们一样的盔甲,还有一些人根本就没穿盔甲,而且也没拿武器。” In reinforcements that originally Davos leads: The second regiment soldiers are all are the official citizens, wears the standard black helmet, black armor and thorn spear/gun, the long shield, short-sword and javelin ; Soldier many of seventh regiment the freeman who prepares the citizen and registers, enough money has not purchased the Theonia standard equipment, therefore its own weaponry is very disorderly, until annihilating and capturing the Taranto soldier, the seventh regiment all soldiers can exchange the heavy infantry equipment that extracts downward from the Taranto soldier, the Corinth helmet, flax breastplate, the round shield, shin armor and thorn spear/gun and saber, in the rear military baggage team also loaded several thousand also to come from the heavy infantry equipment of Taranto captive, that was prepares to guarding exchanges in the Krimisa sixth regiment ; But regarding lance brigade, for does not leak the secret, beforehand makes the Syracuse person know, but has guarded, after all four meters lance was really garish, therefore made them march empty-handed, but transported the lance through the freighter to the Krimisa harbor in unloads, will therefore give the Nummi Biya person such misconception. 原来戴弗斯率领的援军中:第二军团士兵是全是正式公民,身穿标准的黑盔、黑甲、刺枪、长盾、短剑、标枪;第七军团的士兵多数是预备公民和登记在册的自由民,没有足够的钱购买戴奥尼亚制式装备,所以自己携带的武器装备很杂乱,直到歼灭和俘虏了塔兰图姆的士兵,第七军团全体士兵才得以换上从塔兰图姆士兵身上拔下来的重步兵装备,科林斯头盔、亚麻胸甲、圆盾、胫甲、刺枪、军刀,后方的辎重队中还装载了好几千副同样来自塔兰图姆俘虏的重步兵装备,那是准备给驻守在克里米萨的第六军团换上的;而对于长矛大队,为了不泄露秘密,事先让锡拉库扎人知道而有所防备,毕竟四米长的矛实在是太扎眼了,所以让他们空手行军,而通过货船将长矛都运送到克里米萨港口内卸下,因此才会给努米比亚人这样的错觉。 „I said that Theonia how possibly so many citizen soldier! Originally they recruited the freemen, actually no ability matched the entire weapon to them, even the person were many uselessly still!” Astaburuaga Brother Russ shot a look at a Schiepe Sars, laughs. “我就说嘛,戴奥尼亚怎么可能有这么多的公民兵！原来他们是把自由民都征召起来了,却没有能力给他们配全武器,就算人再多也没什么用！”阿斯塔哥拉斯瞥了一眼法西佩萨斯,大笑起来。 law Schiepe Sars has not quarrelled with him again, the facial expression on face also relaxed many, as the opponent, he naturally also hopes that the Theonia army the weaker the better. 法西佩萨斯没有再与他争吵,脸上的神情也轻松不少,作为对手,他当然也希望戴奥尼亚军队越弱越好。 „Apollo blesses, the Theonia reinforcements come just right!” At this time, pondering Dionysius has spoken. Since witnessing the navy disastrous defeat, he has been cloudy the face, thinks he hand/subordinate is angry for the failure of navy, who would have thought actually he was worrying for the destiny of this huge army, because he thought of an essential issue. “阿波罗保佑,戴奥尼亚的援军来得正好！”这时,一直在沉思的狄奥尼修斯说话了。自从亲眼目睹海军惨败之后,他就一直阴沉着脸,手下以为他在为海军的失败而愤怒,却哪知他是在为这支庞大军队的命运而担忧,因为他想到了一个关键的问题。 Even if the Syracuse army continues to go north to attack and capture Krimisa and Roscianum, even the Thurii south city, makes Theonian not dare to divide forces temporarily on their fleet by the strong attack pressure, lands in the Syracuse army weak rear area, so long as Theonian burns down the wooden bridge on river surface broad Crati river, has lost the Syracuse army of navy advantage is not impossible to cross Crati river, attacks the Heart Thurii of Theonia alliance north city, once the army halts in Crati river, Theonia that recovers on possible perseveres river line of defense, while sends the fleet to sneak attack the rear area of Syracuse army, definitely will be tired out from the press by the Syracuse army, finally will even suffer a defeat and flee. 即使锡拉库扎大军继续北上攻克克里米萨、卡斯特隆、甚至图里伊南城,以强大的进攻压力让戴奥尼亚人暂时不敢分兵到他们的舰队上,在锡拉库扎大军薄弱的后方登陆,但是只要戴奥尼亚人焚毁河面宽阔的克拉蒂河上的木桥,已经丧失了海军优势的锡拉库扎大军就不可能渡过克拉蒂河,去进攻戴奥尼亚联盟的心脏-图里伊北城,而一旦大军止步于克拉蒂河,缓过劲儿来的戴奥尼亚就可能一边坚守大河防线,一边派舰队去偷袭锡拉库扎大军的后方,必然会让锡拉库扎军队疲于奔命,最后甚至会败亡。 Thinks this possibility, Dionysius braves on the cold sweat, has started to back down at heart:...... Makes Pharacidas go simply the Thurii peace negotiation? 一想到这个可能性,狄奥尼修斯就冷汗直冒,心里已经开始打起了退堂鼓:干脆……让菲比达斯前去图里伊议和？ In the big tent/account, Dionysius have shot a look at that lower back to support the straight and quiet Sparta person with the vision several times secretly, regarding Sparta hopes that Syracuse can end the war, then to aid them, to help them rapidly defeat the thoughts of anti- Sparta union vigorously rapidly, he is very clear, but he this. 在大帐内,狄奥尼修斯已经几次用目光偷瞥过那个腰背挺得笔直、沉默寡言的斯巴达人,对于斯巴达希望锡拉库扎能迅速结束战争、然后大力援助他们、帮助他们迅速击败反斯巴达同盟的心思,他心里是非常清楚的,但他绝不会这样做。 If were just becoming to overstep authority the main that period also to need the Sparta person to support for him, his wing of present is abundant, does not need a powerful allied country to gesticulate. On the contrary, falls into Sparta of chaos caused by war to be low their arrogant heads, making Syracuse get more interests. 如果说在刚当上僭主那段时期还需要斯巴达人为他撑腰的话,现在的他羽翼已丰,根本不需要一个强大的盟邦来指手画脚。相反,陷入战乱的斯巴达会低下他们傲慢的头颅,让锡拉库扎获得更多的利益。 At this moment, Dionysius did not mind that uses Sparta the anxious psychology, achieves own goal. What peace negotiation condition put forward? As the both sides sphere of influence implements the truce on the region that the present seizes, will that Theonia young people accept? Returns Scylletium, gives Theonia Crotone? 此刻,狄奥尼修斯倒不介意多利用一下斯巴达的这种急切的心理,来达到自己的目的。提出什么样的议和条件呢？就现在占领的地域作为双方势力范围实行停战,那个戴奥尼亚的年轻人会接受吗？还是退回西里庭,把克罗托内交给戴奥尼亚？ Although consumes the spatial state treasury, leading the so huge army unable to seize a Theonia city, Dionysius is really unwilling. But is good at measuring the gain or loss as one very much the hierarch, he can, in Carthage rout and Syracuse in Sicily occupies in the situation of overwhelming superiority, has not driven out on the Sicily island the Carthage influence thoroughly, naturally can also this time willing not swallow temporarily. 虽然耗空国库,率领如此庞大的军队也未能占领戴奥尼亚一座城池,狄奥尼修斯实在心有不甘。但作为一个很善于权衡利益得失的掌权者,他能在迦太基大败、锡拉库扎在西西里占据绝对优势的情况下,没有把迦太基的势力在西西里岛上彻底赶出去,自然也能够暂时将这次的不甘心咽下。 Moreover this going to battle, seized so many Magna Graecia city-state time, almost controlled the Magna Graecia south, prevented the expansion of Theonia influence on south . Moreover the Syracuse strength also obtained big increase, in fact the Dionysius going to battle goal has realized half. So long as after going back, strengthens the navy again, after waiting for the state treasury full, attacks Magna Graecia again, believes that certainly can perish Theonia! 而且这一次的出征,占领了这么多座大希腊城邦,几乎掌控了大希腊的南部,阻止了戴奥尼亚势力向南的扩张,而且锡拉库扎的实力又得到了不小的增加,实际上狄奥尼修斯的出征目的已经实现了一半。只要回去之后,再增强海军,等国库充盈之后,再度进攻大希腊,相信一定可以灭亡戴奥尼亚！ However, has to draw back intent in him, when wants through the Sparta person to the Theonia truce, actually hears the news that the Theonia army helped, after listening hand/subordinate discussion, he changed the mind again: Although the Syracuse navy is defeated, but the quantity astonishing army is actually continuous fighting series of successes, the morale is just abundant, moreover is the experienced citizen soldier and mercenary, like Theonia with the freeman does not make up the number can compare, if can defeat Theonian with an battle thoroughly, can turn around the situation, making Theonia pay a bigger price! 但是,就在他心生退意,想要通过斯巴达人向戴奥尼亚停战之时,却听到了戴奥尼亚大军来援的消息,在听了手下们的议论之后,他再次改变了主意:锡拉库扎海军虽然失败,可数量惊人的陆军却是连战连捷,士气正盛,而且都是经验丰富的公民兵和雇佣兵,不像戴奥尼亚用自由民凑数可以相比的,如果能够用一场会战彻底击败戴奥尼亚人,就可以扭转战局,让戴奥尼亚付出更大的代价！
