legatus many some do not endure the Crotone pitiful bitter experience, but Davos knows: He cannot Syracuse to grasp actively, commanded the army to cross Neto river rashly, happen to planning of Dionysius. What is more important is the time, just as such that Antonios said that Hielos they captured Laos, to command the army to advance and make an attack on the Syracuse rear need time again, therefore he needs to delay the time now, towed successfully to attack Terina to the Hielos army, by that time controlled the war on this/should Theonia was initiative! 军团长们多少都有些不忍克罗托内的悲惨遭遇,但是戴弗斯知道:他绝不能让锡拉库扎人掌握主动,冒然率军渡过内托河,正好中了狄奥尼修斯的算计。更重要的是时间,正像安东尼奥斯所说的那样,希洛斯他们攻下了拉俄斯、再率军进袭锡拉库扎的后方需要时间,所以他现在需要拖时间,拖到希洛斯的军队成功袭击了特里纳,到那时就该戴奥尼亚来掌握战争的主动了！ However, the happy tentative plan of Davos is not so easy to realize. The Syracuse person continuously to the Crotone health/guard city rocket launching, being tired out fire fighting that the Crotone people do not stand still, sends out the envoy to the Theonia military compound time and time again. 但是,戴弗斯的美好设想并不是那么容易实现。锡拉库扎人一直在对克罗托内卫城发射火箭,克罗托内民众不停歇的疲于救火,一次又一次向戴奥尼亚军营派出使者。 Repeatedly after encountering the Davos brutal rejection, some envoys cried in the big greeting: „Asked you to save the Crotone people! Our water were about to use up, everyone started to drink the urine, but children what to do?! My child is only two years old! I rather receive in exchange for him continue live with my life, asking you to save us!......” 多次遭到戴弗斯无情的拒绝后,有的使者在大帐前失声痛哭:“求求你们救救克罗托内的民众吧！我们的水都快用光了,大家都开始喝尿了,但是孩子们怎么办？！我的孩子才两岁啊！我宁愿用我的生命换取他继续活着,求求你们救救我们吧！……” Some envoys shouted abuse: „ Davos, everyone said that you are the star who Magna Graecia is ever-victorious, I look at you am a coward! Theonian, your hearts are the iron do?! The ally several li (0.5 km) away struggles in the fire shortly, is not willing to extend the aid! 有的使者则破口大骂:“戴弗斯,人人都说你是大希腊百战百胜的名将,我看你就是一个懦夫！戴奥尼亚人啊,你们的心脏都是铁做的吗？！眼看着几里外的盟友在大火中挣扎,也不愿伸出援手！ „I! What Theonian always observes the commitment, that deceived people! Your these swindlers, our Crotone tens of thousands people, even if were suffocated and burnt, should still curse you in hell!” “我呸！什么戴奥尼亚人一向信守承诺,那都是骗人的！你们这些骗子,我们克罗托内的几万民众就算被熏死、被烧死,也会在地狱里诅咒你们！” ...... …… Any hears them to weep bitterly Theonia officers all ashamed lowering the head of and curse angrily, Philesius, Antonios and other legatus also pleaded to Davos several times, it can be imagined Davos heart big of pressure. He sits alone in the big tent/account, both hands grip tightly the wooden chair arm rest, although did not say a word, but innermost feelings in becoming less crowded gradually. After all must look at tens of thousands living lives helplessly, because his relations were burnt, how Davos possibly is also aloof! 凡是听到他们痛哭和怒骂的戴奥尼亚将士们无不羞愧的低下头,就连斐利修斯、安东尼奥斯等军团长也几次向戴弗斯请命,可想而知戴弗斯心中的压力之大。他一人独坐在大帐内,双手紧握木椅扶手,虽然一直不发一言,但内心在渐渐的松动。毕竟要眼睁睁的看着几万名活生生的生命因为他的关系被烧死,戴弗斯又怎么可能无动于衷！ Luckily time already since evening, considering that the Theonia army is impossible to cross the river at night, therefore the Syracuse person also stopped attacking Crotone health/guard city. 幸好时间已经进入傍晚,考虑到戴奥尼亚军队不可能在夜间渡河,所以锡拉库扎人也停止了攻击克罗托内卫城。 This evening, Davos rests not well, he knows: Although evaded today by luck, tomorrow savage deceitful Dionysius will also continue to force him to go to battle with this way, what to do should he?...... Hielos that side situation how? For a long time does not have the news, although cultivated/repaired the main road, but is away from the mountain ridge transmission news to be slow! 这一晚,戴弗斯睡得并不好,他知道:虽然侥幸躲过了今天,明天凶残狡诈的狄奥尼修斯还会继续用这种方式逼迫他出战,那他又该怎么办？……希洛斯那边的情况到底怎么样？这么久也没有消息,虽然修了大道,但隔着山岭传递消息还是慢啊！ .................................... ……………………………… Lysias and Milo they are less relaxed, not only need rescue the injured people, comforts nervous them, but must consider day by day the short water used issue. 吕西阿斯和米隆他们更不轻松,不但要救助受伤民众,安抚不安的他们,还要考虑日益短缺的用水问题。 If not thoroughly understand the military Milo to persuade, to Theonian and Davos „brutal”, Lysias has obloquied to export, even in his heart is thinking: If...... really could not insist, simply like the Syracuse person...... surrender...... 如果不是通晓军事的米隆相劝,对戴奥尼亚人和戴弗斯的“无情”,吕西阿斯早就大骂出口了,甚至他心中在想:如果……实在坚持不住了,干脆就像锡拉库扎人……投降吧…… In the Syracuse military compound, Dionysius is disturbed, enduring patiently of Davos made him have the vacillation: Theonian rather looks at the ally death, isn't willing to extend the aid?!...... Perhaps, Davos really does not dare to conduct the positive/direct land battle with us. Long this gets down, is disadvantageous to our Syracuse, really can only retreat...... 在锡拉库扎军营,狄奥尼修斯心绪不宁,戴弗斯的忍耐让他产生了动摇:难道戴奥尼亚人宁愿看着盟友死亡,也不愿伸出援手？！……也许,戴弗斯是真的不敢与我们进行正面的陆上会战。长此下去,对我们锡拉库扎不利,难道真的只能撤退…… This evening, Dionysius also cannot sleep, until he hears greatly off-balance hears the clamoring sound. 这一晚,狄奥尼修斯同样睡不着觉,直到他听到大帐外传来喧哗声。 When intelligence officer Adrigole raises nun rushes in the big tent/account, he just from the bed turned over/stood up to sit up: „What's the matter?! How your guard team leader works as! Makes the person rush at will!” 当情报官阿德罗斯提尼闯进大帐的时候,他刚从床榻上翻身坐起:“怎么回事？！你这个护卫队长是怎么当的！随意就让人闯进来！” He cursed angrily loudly later with guard team leader, made nearby Andros raise nun to listen fearful and apprehensive, he hurried to kneel down to apologize, and shivered was saying: „Big...... the Sir...... the urgent message from Terina, Theonian attacked and occupied Laos!” 他大声怒骂随后跟进来的护卫队长,却让旁边的安德罗斯提尼听了心惊胆战,他慌忙跪下请罪,并颤抖着说道:“大……大人……来自特里纳的紧急情报,戴奥尼亚人攻占了拉俄斯！” „What?! Theonian attacked and occupied Laos quickly! This news truly?!” The Dionysius complexion big change, asked repeatedly. “什么？！戴奥尼亚人这么快就攻占了拉俄斯！这消息确实吗？！”狄奥尼修斯脸色大变,连声问道。 „Is we ambushes in a Laos scout braves by the danger that Theonian captures, delimits Terina that the boat is rushing to secretly, should be definitely without doubt! It is reported that is Theonian stirs up the Laos poor civilians rebellion, the inside and outside converging attack, broke through the Laos city.” Andros raised nun to calm down at this moment, earnest answered. “是我们埋伏在拉俄斯的一名探子冒着被戴奥尼亚人追捕的危险,偷偷划着小船赶到的特里纳,应该是肯定无疑的！据悉,是戴奥尼亚人煽动拉俄斯贫民平民暴动,内外夹击,才攻破了拉俄斯城。”安德罗斯提尼此刻已经稳定了情绪,认真的解释道。 „Said that Laos Theonian will go south quickly?!” Dionysius facial expression anxious muttering. “这么说拉俄斯的戴奥尼亚人很快就会南下？！”狄奥尼修斯神情焦急的喃喃自语。 „Sir, perhaps perhaps...... we should retreat......” Andros to raise nun to embolden said low voice. “大人,或许……或许我们应该撤退……”安德罗斯提尼壮着胆子小声说道。 „Retreats?!” Dionysius looks suddenly to him, the cold light that in the eye glitters makes Andros raise nun to frighten again kneels down. “撤退？！”狄奥尼修斯猛然看向他,眼中闪烁的寒光让安德罗斯提尼吓得再次跪倒。 Dionysius is staring him, on face gradually had a strange smile: „Good that you said that we truly should retreat!” 狄奥尼修斯瞪着他,渐渐的脸上有了一丝诡异的笑容:“你说的不错,我们确实应该撤退！” Then, he turns around to issue the order to guard team leader: „Immediately informs Schiepe Sars, Astaburuaga Glass, flatter stream Rheta, Pharacidas...... and the others to come at once the big tent/account discussion!” 说完,他转身对护卫队长下达命令:“立刻通知法西佩萨斯、阿斯塔格拉斯、阿溪里塔、菲比达斯……等人速来大帐商议！” Andros raises nun to relax, collapses to the ground, at this time detected that the back had been invaded wet by the cold sweat. 安德罗斯提尼松了口气,瘫坐在地上,这时才发觉后背已经被冷汗侵湿。 .......................................... …………………………………… Next morning, the Crotone plain area was covered by the light fog, makes also calculate the warm seashore area were many a chill in the air. 第二天清晨,克罗顿平原地区被轻雾笼罩,使得原本还算暖和的海边地区多了一丝寒意。 Davos very early in the morning getting up breakfast, in the past, bread and wheat porridge/gruel, dried beef, with common soldier not two kinds, but were many a sea fish, that was guarding came the fishing harvest of safe/without matter in the Neto river mouth Theonia fleet sailor yesterday idly, sent much to Davos, mostly was passed by him to the convoy guard share. 戴弗斯一早就起来早餐,跟往常一样,面包、麦粥、牛肉干,与寻常士兵并无两样,只是多了一条海鱼,那是驻守在内托河口的戴奥尼亚舰队水手昨天闲来无事的打鱼收获,给戴弗斯送来不少,又被他大多转送给了护卫队分享。 Although the breakfast is good, Davos does not have many appetites. 早餐虽然不错,戴弗斯却没有多少胃口。 At this moment, Martius accompanied Izam to enter the big tent/account. 就在这时,马尔提乌斯陪同着伊扎姆走进了大帐。 „Your majesty, my subordinate brought the good news! The enemies are disassembling the camp, starts to retreat!” “陛下,我的手下带来了好消息！敌人正在拆卸营地,开始撤退！” Hears the news that Izam brings, Davos is somewhat surprised. 听到伊扎姆带来的这个消息,戴弗斯有些吃惊。 „My subordinate sneaks to the enemy camp, hears these Syracuse people in the startled low voice discussion, said that was ‚Terina was attacked by our Theonia army’......” the Izam exciting further explanation. “我的手下潜入到敌人营地附近,听到那些锡拉库扎人在惊慌的小声议论,说是‘特里纳遭到了我们戴奥尼亚军队的攻击’……”伊扎姆兴奋的进一步说明。 „Has Sir Hielos captured Laos? Why haven't we received the return?” Martius hears this news to feel the doubts, therefore inserted one. “希洛斯大人已经攻下了拉俄斯了吗？为什么我们没有接到回报？”马尔提乌斯听到这个消息感到疑惑,所以插了一句。 „Must pass through the west mountainous area, arrived here and travels by boat to Kerner Petija, to Terina, the time needed naturally is different.” Izam answered, his excited saying to him: „Your majesty, we-” “要穿过西面的山区,到达这里和坐船到克纳佩提亚,再到特里纳,所花费的时间当然不一样。”伊扎姆向他解释道,紧接着他激动的说道:“陛下,我们-” The Izam exciting words have not said, Martius also shouted one excitedly: „Your majesty!” 伊扎姆兴奋的话还没说完,马尔提乌斯也激动的喊了一声:“陛下！” Looks the hope that in two people of eyes bursts out, Davos knows they want to express anything. Usually is quiet and works discrete bodyguard long Martius, in addition so, not to mention other soldiers, the morale of troops and morale so, were really the general trend, Davos aspirates lightly, said loudly: „Martius, you called Tolmides, making him inform all legatus, un...... also had meter Dorotheus to come at once the big tent/account to hold the military conference!” 看着两人眼中所迸发出的渴望,戴弗斯知道他俩想要表达什么。就连平时沉默寡言、做事谨慎的亲卫队长马尔提乌斯尚且如此,更不用说其他的士兵了,军心、士气如此,实在是大势所趋,戴弗斯轻吐了口气,大声说道:“马尔提乌斯,你去叫托尔米德,让他通知所有军团长,嗯……还有米多拉德斯速来大帐召开军事会议！” „Yes!” “是！” „Izam, commanding your soldier to continue to monitor the trend of enemy, confirmed that after the enemy all retreats crossed Targines river, immediately to me reports!” “伊扎姆,命令你的士兵继续监视敌人的动向,确认敌人全部撤退渡过塔奇纳迪河之后,立刻向我汇报！” „Yes!” “是！” Two people powerful lines the military salutes, the both legs create an incident general fast departures. 两人有力的行完军礼,双腿生风一般快速的离开。 Issues the order, Davos also feels relieved, the whole body becomes with ease. He turned around to sit down, grasps the bread to nip one, now he felt somewhat hungry. 下达完命令,戴弗斯自己也如释重负,浑身变得轻松许多。他转身坐下,抓起面包咬了一口,现在他感到有些饿了。 ....................................... ………………………………… „Rice Dorotheus.” “米多拉德斯。” „In, your majesty!” “在,陛下！” „Joins up the project camps of all regiments, temporarily turns over to you to direct, immediately puts up four bateau-bridges on Neto river, the ships that needs must provide by you, you must meet the request of project camp as soon as possible, can not have any shifting responsibility onto others!” “将所有军团的工程营联合起来,暂时归你指挥,立刻在内托河上搭起四座浮桥,所需要的船只都必须由你来提供,你要尽快满足工程营的要求,不得有任何推诿！” „Understood!” “明白！” The regiment soldier ferry that „moreover, in the Neto river downstream, before you must lead all warships, will stipulate to cross river. After the army crosses river, you must lead the fleet to circle to the coast between Crotone and Scylletium, monitors the trend of Syracuse army, the concrete measure is judged the decision by you.” “另外,在内托河下游,你要率领所有战船将之前规定的军团士兵摆渡过河。在全军过河之后,你要带领舰队绕到克罗托内与西里庭之间的海岸,监视锡拉库扎大军的动向,具体的措施由你自行判断决定。” „Yes!” “是！” „Ledes!” “莱德斯！” „In!” “在！” „Your cavalry corps want first crossing river, I want you to remove them, detects the retreating situation of enemy to south, momentarily return. However, can not have the fight with the enemy, particularly encounters hires the cavalry the time!” “你的骑兵军团要第一个过河,我要你将他们全部撤出去,向南侦测敌人的撤退情况,随时回报。但是,不得与敌人发生战斗,尤其是遭遇到雇佣骑兵的时候！” „Yes, your majesty.” In the Ledes heart is somewhat depressed, he knows that Davos did not feel relieved to cavalry battle efficiency some, although in his heart is unwilling, has to acknowledge, these alien race cavalry own subordinates are truly strong, he pinched tightly the fist secretly. “是,陛下。”莱德斯心中有些沮丧,他知道戴弗斯对骑兵的战斗力有些不放心,他心中虽然不甘心,也不得不承认,那些异族骑兵确实比自己的手下强,他暗暗的捏紧了拳头。 „legatus and army command, you come, looks the place that again own regiment and army are going to cross the river, makes the final confirmation! I request you to organize your soldiers, passed Neto river at the quickest time, then can the rapid rallying formation, achieve?!” “各位军团长和军队统领,你们都过来,再看一看自己的军团和部队将要渡河的地点,作最后的确认！我要求你们组织好你们的士兵,以最快的时间度过内托河,然后迅速的重整阵型,能做到吗？！” „Can!” legatus in unison replied, then pushes before the map examines Davos carefully in the mark that on Neto river makes. “能！”军团长们齐声回答,然后挤在地图前细细查看戴弗斯用笔在内托河上做的标记。 „These that your majesty, you make arrange the arrangement how seems like must engage in a decisive battle, rather than can the shape pursue the enemy who retreats?!” Amintas looks, cannot bear ask. “陛下,你所做的这些布置怎么象是要会战的安排,而不是象要追击撤退的敌人啊？！”阿明塔斯看着看着,忍不住问道。 Not is only he, other legatus have similar doubts: Along the river all regiments sets up in an array, crosses the river. After fording, rapidly forms the respective garrison, and position of each regiment as if there is special consideration. Also, the cavalry does not send the pursuit, but is only the detection...... 不光是他,其他军团长也有类似的疑惑:所有军团沿河一字排开,同时渡河。渡河后,又迅速形成各自的纵队,并且每一个军团的位置似乎都有特殊的考虑。还有,骑兵并不是派出去追击,而只是侦查…… The Davos vision glance they, the sinking sound said profoundly: „Pursues the enemy not to need to worry, so long as the Syracuse person retreats, we tag along after the enemy, such a huge army association/will presents the chaotic time. But what I am worried after was the enemy retreated, returned again, must know commander Orrin Hughes who Syracuse army was a deceitful person, I was rather discrete, cannot advance recklessly, particularly now we control the entire war driving time!” 戴弗斯目光深邃的扫视他们,沉声说道:“追击敌人并不需要着急,只要锡拉库扎人撤退,我们尾随敌人,那样一支庞大的军队总会出现混乱的时候。而我担心的是敌人撤退了之后又再返回,要知道锡拉库扎军队的统帅狄奥林修斯可是一个狡诈的人,我宁愿谨慎,也绝不能冒进,尤其是现在我们掌握了整个战争的主动的时候！” .................................... ……………………………… Quickly to noon time, under illumination that the sunlight continues, the mist has dissipated. 快到中午的时候,在阳光持续的照射下,雾气已经消散。 After the project the cooperation of camp and regiment soldier, the middle reach on Neto river has built four bateau-bridges. But in the downstream, over a hundred big and small warships is separated is anchoring in the north bank. 经过工程营和军团士兵的协作,内托河上的中游河段已经架起了四座浮桥。而在下游,上百艘大小战船间隔着停靠在北岸。
