Davos sighed, both hands held down his shoulder, sincere saying: „Even if I in facing the Syracuse military occupy very big advantage and sea to become the world of their navy, to have Dionysius this formidable opponent as the command, under such bad situation, I will still lose! Moreover you succeed preserved two regiment most soldiers, simultaneously coordinated Crotone to persevere the arrival of reinforcements, making us have the hope of turning defeat into victory. Not only I should thank you! The entire Theonia people should thank you!” 戴弗斯叹了口气,双手按住他的肩膀,诚挚的说道:“即使是我在面对锡拉库扎兵力占据很大优势、海洋又成为他们海军的天下、又有狄奥尼修斯这个可怕的对手作为统帅、这样糟糕的局势下,我也会输的！而且你成功的保住了两个军团大部分的士兵,同时配合克罗托内坚守到了援军的到来,让我们有了反败为胜的希望。不但我应该感谢你！全戴奥尼亚民众都应该感谢你！” The Philesius tears that these words saying fill the eyes, that is the tears of feeling relieved. 这番话说的斐利修斯泪盈眶,那是如释重负的泪水。 „The Drakos death is not your mistake! I understand him, he never concedes, therefore brings up the rear to be captured on own initiative, hitting the ground dies, is he who he makes thinks the most correct choice! We can do holds Dionysius, expresses respect for the Drakos hero soul with his head/number of people!” “德拉科斯的死不是你的错！我了解他,他是从不服输的,所以无论是主动断后而被俘,还是撞地而死,都是他做出的他认为最正确的选择！我们能做的就是抓住狄奥尼修斯,用他的人头来祭奠德拉科斯的英灵！” „Yes!...... Is!!” Philesius nods again and again. “是！……是！！”斐利修斯连连点头。 „The mood of fifth regiment soldiers how?” Davos also the concern asked. The fifth regiment, this regiment comprised of Bruttians, the soldiers witnessed dying an untimely death that founds its legatus, moreover these days the Bruttii regional turmoil, Davos naturally must be worried about their conditions. “第五军团士兵们的情绪怎么样？”戴弗斯又关切问道。第五军团,这个由布鲁提人组成的军团,士兵们亲眼目睹了一手创建它的军团长的横死,而且这段时间布鲁提地区动荡,戴弗斯当然要担心他们的状态。 „Soldiers impatient wish and Syracuse person battles, is Drakos revenges!” Philesius replies immediately. “士兵们都迫不及待的想要与锡拉库扎人交战,为德拉科斯报仇！”斐利修斯立刻答道。 „That is good.” Davos encouraged him saying: „I, when commanded the army to leave Thurii to bump into your wife Lya, she held me to have the words to you, ‚she and child are very good, hope that you can lead the soldiers soon to expel Magna Graecia the enemy!’” “那就好。”戴弗斯勉励他说:“我在率军离开图里伊的时候碰到了你的妻子迪莉娅,她托我带话给你,‘她和孩子现在都很好,希望你能带领士兵们早日将敌人赶出大希腊！’” Philesius comes time is depressed, lowers the head, figure atrophy ; Walks is eased, with long hurried strides. 斐利修斯来的时候心情抑郁,低着头,身形萎缩;走的时候一身轻松,大步流星。 Davos looks at the back that he is departing, in the heart is actually thinking: The Philesius character is temperate, the will is not very firm, is really not the great general who can assume sole responsibility for an important task, in the future will be engaged in the official document work in the military affairs section. 戴弗斯望着他离去的背影,心中却在想:斐利修斯性格过于温和,意志不够坚定,实在不是一个能够独当一面的大将,将来还是在军务部从事案牍工作吧。 The reason that his actually also thanked Philesius has not said: The failure of Amato river battle causes the Magna Graecia southern Greece influence by big weakening, has not revolted against the Syracuse ability again, but is this also same regarding Theonia? 他其实还有一个感谢斐利修斯的理由没有说出来:拉马托河会战的失败导致大希腊南部的希腊势力被大大的削弱,再也没有反抗锡拉库扎的能力,但这对于戴奥尼亚又何尝不是一样呢？ .................................... ……………………………… The Theonia fleet continued to south goes, approached the sea level near Locri city. 戴奥尼亚舰队继续向南行驶,逼近了洛克里城附近的海面。 Can say in these port cities of east coast, only then the Locri harbor is the merchant ship passes in and out as before frequently, even before the war is busier. Because Syracuse navy's blockade and suppression to south intent Union city-state harbor enables eastern and on the western Mediterranean route the contact merchant ship only in the Locri harbor relay or the trade. 可以说在东海岸的这些港口城市中,只有洛克里的港口依旧是商船进出频繁,甚至比战争之前还要繁忙。因为锡拉库扎海军对南意同盟城邦港口的封锁和打压使得东、西地中海航路上往来的商船只能在洛克里港口中转或者贸易。 „Falls the ship's sail!” Sekrian looks at the sail shadow of distant place, in the eye is glittering the cold and gloomy ray: „Attack!” “降船帆！”塞克利安望着远处的一片帆影,眼中闪烁着森冷的光芒:“进攻！” With sounding of bugle, the warship of fleet gradually launches, the sailors speed up the thick liquid frequency excitedly, the merchant ship does not pose any threat to them, making them have the pleasant sensation of type of oppressive vegetable/dish, moreover can exercise their actual combat experiences. 随着号角的吹响,舰队的战船逐渐展开,水手们兴奋的加快浆频,商船对他们不造成任何威胁,让他们有种虐菜的快感,而且还可以锻炼他们的实战经验。 In high-speed under rows promotes, the warship speed achieves the terrifying 13, other merchants without gale boost radically inescapable, but the volume of merchant ship compares in triremes, without doubt is the child facing the Sir, is not the opponent, quick tilts under the hit of warship completely in abundance. 在高速的划桨推动下,战船速度达到恐怖的13节,其他商船在没有大风助力的情况下根本无法逃脱,而商船的体积相比较于三层桨战船,无疑是小孩面对大人,完全不是对手,很快就在战船的撞击下纷纷倾覆。 In the sea level floats people and every large or small cargos that the ships of break, are calling for help...... the ship of distant place to see only this sad scene everywhere, frightens everywhere escapes, in the sea level outside Locri harbor besides the Theonia fleet, cannot see other ships quickly again. 海面上到处漂浮着断裂的船只、呼救的人们、大大小小的货物……远处的船只见此惨像,吓得四处逃开,很快在洛克里港口外的海面上除了戴奥尼亚舰队外,再也看不到其他船只。 Sekrian led the fleet external to return in the harbor patrolled several, this swaggered away. 塞克利安带领舰队在港口外来回游弋了好几圈,这才扬长而去。 Locri is angry, is helpless, because two days ago the Syracuse person on the grounds of resisting Theonia fleet, carried off their 30 triremes. Sees enemy ship that outside the harbor bluffed and blustered, in each individual heart raised not the good premonition. 洛克里对此愤怒,却又无能为力,因为两天前锡拉库扎人以对抗戴奥尼亚舰队为由,带走了他们的30艘三层桨战船。看到了港口外耀武扬威的敌船,每个人心中都升起了不好的预感。 „It seems like the Syracuse fleet defeated!” The virtue motor Kase complexion sinks strongly fragrant saying. “看来锡拉库扎的舰队又败了！”德摩多卡斯面色沉郁的说道。 „Yes!” Saying that Pan Ti Kapes worries about: „Henceforth, the Theonian warship may control the east coast, this will create the huge blow to our seaborne commerces! I worried that Syracuse also loses to Theonia on the land, must know that Theonia that young archon had returned to Thurii.” “是啊！”潘提卡佩斯担忧的说道:“从此,戴奥尼亚人的战船可就将控制着东海岸,这会对我们的海上贸易造成巨大的打击！我更担心锡拉库扎在陆地上也败给戴奥尼亚,要知道戴奥尼亚的那位年轻执政官已经回到了图里伊。” „The Syracuse person defeats on the land is impossible!” virtue motor Kase refuted unquestioning: „Your I have seen with one's own eyes the army of Syracuse person that more than 80,000 person, is not any Greek city-state can resist, including Sparta!” “锡拉库扎人在陆地上战败是不可能的！”德摩多卡斯毫不迟疑的反驳道:“你我都亲眼看到过锡拉库扎人那8万多人的大军,不是任何一个希腊城邦能够抵挡的,包括斯巴达！” Said that said that virtue motor Kase some agitated, he is very clear: As a result of the support of Dionysius, virtue motor Kase for many years was controlling the Locri highest political power, is in fact „overstepping authority lord”. Therefore, he suppresses the political opponent with raw hate, the brutal suppression opposed that his person, the people have discontentedly to him. But these days, this type is discontented is intensifying, because to safeguard the provisionings of combat troops and some Syracuse armies, he in the city-state people levies the amount high „war specific taxes”, to increase the public revenues to purchase the war materials. Once the Syracuse army defeats, he will be very difficult to imagine these seemingly moderate tranquil people to do to have an accident under instigation of his political opponent? 说是这么说,德摩多卡斯内心还是有些许烦躁,他心里很清楚:由于狄奥尼修斯的支持,德摩多卡斯多年来掌控着洛克里的最高政权,已经是事实上的“僭主”。为此,他凶狠的打压政敌,残酷镇压反对他的人,民众对他是有不满的。而这段时间,这种不满在加剧,因为为了保障作战军队和部分锡拉库扎军队的物资供应,他在城邦民众中征收数额较高的“战争特别税”,以增加国库收入来购买战争物资。一旦锡拉库扎大军战败,他很难想象那些看似温和平静的民众在他政敌的挑拨下会做出什么事来？ „Now in the city is void, if the Theonia army lands here, we were very dangerous!” virtue motor Kase said suddenly: „Must adjust in the army of Medma city guarding.” “现在城内过于空虚,万一戴奥尼亚的军队在这里登陆,我们就很危险了！”德摩多卡斯突然说道:“必须把驻守在麦德玛城的部队调回来。” Pan Ti Kapes stares: „Medma city what to do?” 潘提卡佩斯一愣:“麦德玛城怎么办？” „The Rhegion army has been seriously battered, even if they want to attack the Medma city, is not quick can take, we can reenforce momentarily.” virtue motor Kase replied. “利吉姆的军队已经遭受重创,就算他们想要进攻麦德玛城,也不是很快就能拿下的,我们随时可以增援。”德摩多卡斯回答。 .................................... ……………………………… The Theonia fleet continues to south navigates, quick arrived at the Magna Graecia southernmost. 戴奥尼亚舰队继续向南航行,很快就到了大希腊的最南端。 The Sekrian place ship forefront the team, is leading the peak of fleet cautiously around peninsula, turns the head to north, entered the Messina channel. 塞克利安的座舰在队伍最前端,小心翼翼的带领着舰队绕着半岛的顶端,转头向北,进入了墨西拿海峡。 Navigated before long, close to Rhegion. 航行了不一会儿,就接近了利吉姆。 At this moment is dusk, although Sekrian is more curious to the Messina city, but Messina harbor in the channel narrowest place, from at least more than ten li (0.5 km). 此刻已经是黄昏,虽然塞克利安对墨西拿城更好奇一些,但墨西拿的港口在海峡最狭窄处,距离至少十几里。 Before, when the Syracuse person reconstructed by the Messina city that Carthaginians destroyed, migrated the city, the harbor is also once abandoned, but quick appropriated to oneself by focusing on the Syracuse person, Locri and allied country immigrant, and vigorous development. Before the Magna Graecia war breaks out, Syracuse also sent a fleet to be stationed, to maintain the harbor safety, the ships that the control channel passed in and out, blockaded the Rhegion harbor while convenient. Although couple days ago, triremes in Messina fleet was reassigned Scylletium, to participate completely with the Theonia naval battle, in the harbor only remains more than 30 middle-and-small warships, but this is not Rhegion can resist. If not Syracuse person the arrival of express steamer distant discovery Theonia fleet, withdrew the harbor the warship rapidly, the fleet that Sekrian led when arriving in the Rhegion harbor can certainly see that the Syracuse warship patrolled outside the harbor, at the appointed time unavoidably a fight. 之前,锡拉库扎人重建被迦太基人摧毁的墨西拿城时,迁移了城址,港口也一度被废弃,但很快就被以锡拉库扎人、洛克里及其盟邦为主的移民据为己有,并大力的开发。在大希腊战争爆发之前,锡拉库扎还派了一支舰队驻扎,以维护港口安全,控制海峡进出的船只,顺带封锁利吉姆港口。虽然前几天,墨西拿舰队中的三层桨战船全部被抽调到了西里庭、参加与戴奥尼亚的海战,港口内只剩30多艘中小型战船,但这也不是利吉姆所能对抗的。如果不是锡拉库扎人的快船远远的发现戴奥尼亚舰队的到来,迅速将战船撤回了港口,塞克利安所率的舰队在抵达利吉姆港口时一定可以看到锡拉库扎的战船游弋在港口外,到时免不了一场战斗。 Considering the weather is late, and business of King Davos confession must manage, Sekrian represses to make the fleet continue temporarily to the northern impulsion, took the lead to move to the Rhegion harbor. 考虑到天色已晚,并且还有戴弗斯国王交代的事务要办,塞克利安暂时按捺住让舰队继续向北的冲动,带头驶向了利吉姆港口。 The Rhegion person has two months not to notice that the external ships entered the harbor, heard the Theonia fleet came, joyful extremely welled up to go out of town in abundance, rushes to the harbor. 利吉姆人已经有两个月没有看到外来船只进入港口了,一听说戴奥尼亚的舰队来了,欣喜万分的纷纷涌出城,奔向港口。 Under the guidance of Rhegion patrol boat, the Sekrian fleet enters the naval port, the Theonia sailors is also disembarking, the Rhegion people well up, gathers round the warship, loud inquiry outside tactical situation. 在利吉姆巡逻船的引导下,塞克利安舰队进入军港,戴奥尼亚水手们还正在下船,利吉姆民众就涌过来,围着战船,大声的询问外面的战况。 Also no wonder they so anxious, because Rhegion has one month by the Syracuse fleet strict blockade, they know nothing about the outside world. As a rule, very difficult to achieve the complete blockade to a coastal city, after all warship impossible long time to soak in the sea water, they need the scheduled maintenance, to need to tow to sun to the ashore, clean up the shipworm, but the gate also needs to come ashore to rest conveniently, dining potable water. However Messina from Rhegion was really near, being away from the channel two cities to was about more than ten li (0.5 km), but two that wish that the Syracuse person also iron core hoodwinked the Rhegion person completely, thus caused them to be scared, will therefore be stationed in the Messina harbor fleet to be divided into several groups, blocked Rhegion in turn, without intermittence. In addition Rhegion and land path, the east side was sealed off by Locri, the west side has the Locri army stationed in the Medma city, blocks the way, after previous failure, Rhegion- Tao Rui that allied armies withdrew to south of the Marro River completely. 也难怪他们如此的急切,因为利吉姆被锡拉库扎舰队严密封锁已经有一个多月的时间,他们对外界一无所知。通常来说,很难对一座海滨城市做到完全的封锁,毕竟战船不可能长时间泡在海水中,它们需要定期维修、需要拖到岸上晒太阳,清理船蛆,而随手门也需要上岸歇息,就餐饮水。但是墨西拿距离利吉姆实在是太近了,隔着海峡两城相距不过十几里,而锡拉库扎人又铁了心的想要完全蒙蔽利吉姆人的两眼,从而导致他们恐慌,因此将驻扎在墨西拿港口的舰队分成好几组,轮流封锁利吉姆,没有间歇。再加上利吉姆与外界的陆上通路,东侧被洛克里封锁,西侧则有洛克里大军驻扎在麦德玛城,挡住去路,自上一次战斗失败后,利吉姆-陶瑞那联军就完全撤回了马罗河以南。 Therefore the arrival of Theonia fleet gave the Rhegion people's enormous pleasant surprise, particularly they knew that the Theonia fleet had beaten the Syracuse navy thoroughly, when becomes Magna Graecia nearby coast new control, in the naval port erupts to cheer intermittently. The Rhegion people crowd around the Theonia sailor to sing and dance, like holding celebration parade, lively welcomed the Rhegion city Theonian. 因此戴奥尼亚舰队的到来给了利吉姆民众极大的惊喜,尤其是他们得知戴奥尼亚舰队已经彻底击败了锡拉库扎海军,成为大希腊附近海岸新的掌控者时,军港内爆发出阵阵欢呼。利吉姆民众簇拥着戴奥尼亚水手载歌载舞,像在举行庆典游行似的,热热闹闹的将戴奥尼亚人迎进了利吉姆城。 In the evening, Rhegion chief general Adili Kruse invited Sekrian. 当晚,利吉姆的首席将军阿蒂利克鲁斯宴请了塞克利安。 At the banquet, because of guest's request, the Sekrian lecture the process of Taranto big naval battle, caused the people to send out cheers and acclaims intermittently...... 在宴会上,因宾客的要求,塞克利安讲起了塔兰托大海战的经过,引得众人发出阵阵欢呼和赞叹…… At this time, Adili Kruse coughed several, asked loudly: „General Sekrian, Rhegion stemming from the Theonia friendship, loaned all our triremes generously, because even does not have the fleet, encounters the Syracuse person's long-term blockade. Now Theonia had beaten the Syracuse navy that succeeded with our help, should return our warships?” 这时,阿蒂利克鲁斯干咳了几声,大声问道:“塞克利安将军,利吉姆出于对戴奥尼亚的友谊,慷慨的出借了我们所有的三层桨战船,甚至因为没有舰队,遭到锡拉库扎人长时间的封锁。现在戴奥尼亚在我们的帮助下已经成功的击败了锡拉库扎海军,是不是应该归还我们的战船了？”
