The messengers had not replied, but emphasized again: This is the order of King Davos! 传令兵没有回答,只是再一次强调:这是戴弗斯国王的命令！ Matonis did not have the words to say immediately, his indignation however ordered loudly: „Told each chief, leading the brothers to withdraw, must very slowly very slow withdrawing!......” 马托尼斯顿时没话说了,他忿然大声下令:“告诉各个大队长,带领兄弟们后撤,要很慢很慢的后撤！……” Regarding experienced legatus, does not need Davos to give a thinner instruction, they know the cavalry who how deals with the attack, sends the team front the seventh brigade of regiment. 对于经验丰富的军团长们来说,不需要戴弗斯做更细的指示,他们都知道如何应付来袭的骑兵,将军团的第七大队纷纷派到队伍前方。 When Nummi Biya cavalry and Celtic cavalry pursues the Theonia cavalry, before arriving at Theonia, what they see is the long infantry array is withdrawing, but what guard behind heavy infantry is the light infantry forms the skirmisher's line that they ride the launch arrow arrow to the enemy, making Nummi Biya cavalry have no way to obtain close to the array and opportunity of javelin throw. 当努米比亚骑兵和凯尔特骑兵追击戴奥尼亚骑兵,来到戴奥尼亚阵前时,他们看到的是漫长的步兵阵列正在后撤,而护卫在重步兵后方的是轻步兵形成的散兵线,他们向敌骑发射箭矢,让努米比亚骑兵没法获得靠近阵列、投掷标枪的机会。 Although these alien race people are maneating, but not silly attacks so huge army, they stopped the pursuit, maintains a safe distance with the Theonia army...... 这些异族人虽然凶悍,但不会傻乎乎的去冲击如此庞大的军阵,他们停止了追击,与戴奥尼亚军队保持一个安全的距离…… .................................... ……………………………… „What did you say?! Theonian is retreating!” Just crossed Targines river east bank Dionysius to hear the flatter stream Rheta's report, in the heart was more anxious, he feared that Theonian detected after being swindled, withdrew rapidly, before he commanded the army to rush, returned to Neto river north bank , the effort that then made over the two days was in vain. “你说什么？！戴奥尼亚人正在撤退！”刚渡过塔奇纳迪河东岸的狄奥尼修斯听到阿溪里塔的报告,心中更加焦急,他就怕戴奥尼亚人发觉上当后迅速后撤,在他率军赶到之前,退回到内托河北岸,那么这两天所做的努力都白费了。 „Order army to speed up, do not let the enemy run!” “命令部队加速前进,别让敌人跑了！” „Yes!” “是！” „Waits!” Pharacidas shouts suddenly loudly. “等一等！”菲比达斯突然大声喊道。 Although Dionysius breaks itself to issue the order to feel unhappy to him, but also knows the Sparta person who this does not like speaking makes noise at this important moment, certainly has what reason. 狄奥尼修斯虽然对他打断自己下达命令感到不快,但也知道这位不爱说话的斯巴达人在这关键时刻出声,一定是有什么原因。 „You said a moment ago Theonia ‚array’ in the rear end, what you use is ‚array’ this word, why?” Pharacidas asked to flatter stream Rheta directly. “你刚才说戴奥尼亚的‘阵列’在后侧,你用的是‘阵列’这个词,为什么？”菲比达斯直接向阿溪里塔问道。 flatter stream Rheta repugnant Pharacidas impolite tone, but he knows that the Sparta person is not affable, impatient saying: „Right, what I said is ‚array’, because Theonian is the platoon had the array to retreat.” 阿溪里塔讨厌菲比达斯无礼的语气,但他知道斯巴达人不好惹,不耐烦的说道:“没错,我说的是‘阵列’,因为戴奥尼亚人本来就是排成阵列在撤退。” Dionysius hears here, in the heart jumps. 狄奥尼修斯听到这儿,心中一跳。 „What array?” Pharacidas closely examines. “什么样的阵列？”菲比达斯追问。 flatter stream Rheta thinks, in the muddy land drew with the effort of tip of the toe simply ‚one horizontal’: „It is very long long like......” 阿溪里塔想了想,干脆用脚尖在泥地上用力画了‘一横’:“像这样很长很长……” Pharacidas is bending the waist, looked at the ground, asked: „Which direction are we at?” 菲比达斯弯着腰,看了看地面,又问道:“我们在哪个方向？” „Here.” flatter stream Rheta with the tip of the toe selected that „one horizontal” the front. “这里。”阿溪里塔用脚尖点了点那“一横”的前方。 The guess in Pharacidas heart has been confirmed that he raised the head, gazes at Dionysius, the sinking sound was saying: „Perhaps Theonia that new king is prepared to our plans early, he is arranging a big net, waits for us to hit hurriedly. By that time your soldier physical strength exhausts, does not have the complete formation, at all is not the Theonian opponent, waits for your can only be the failure.” 菲比达斯心中的猜测得到证实,他抬起头,注视着狄奥尼修斯,沉声说道:“恐怕戴奥尼亚的那位新国王对我们的计划早有准备,他正布置着一张大网,等待我们急匆匆的撞上去。到那时你的士兵体力耗尽,没有完整的阵型,根本不是戴奥尼亚人的对手,等待你的只能是失败。” Dionysius lowered the head to have a look just by flatter stream Rheta with the foot has wiped the ground, was lost in thought that although he in the heart is not willing to believe oneself spent the tempting plan of strength implementation to be completely understood by Theonia that young people with all one's heart, instead was tempted by the opposite party, however the Pharacidas words looked like, making his facial skin feel hot, was good because of this war relations life or death, he did not have the thoughts to haggle over these, but coughed several, said: „Then you think how we should do now?” 狄奥尼修斯低头看看刚被阿溪里塔用脚抹过的地面,陷入沉思,他虽然心中不愿相信自己费尽心力实施的引诱计划已经被戴奥尼亚的那位年轻人看透,反而被对方所引诱,但是菲比达斯的话就像是一记耳光,让他的脸皮发烫,好在这一场战争关系存亡,他没有心思去计较这些,只是干咳了几声,说道:“那么你认为我们现在该怎么做？” „Immediately stops going forward, the prepare formation, presses at the normal speed!” Pharacidas „one horizontal” front drew in that with the foot again „one horizontal”. “立即停止前进,布置好阵型,以正常的速度压上去！”菲比达斯用脚在那“一横”前面再画了“一横”。 „If does that the time is too long, Theonian completely possibly escapes.” Saying that Dionysius worries about. “如果这么做,时间太长,戴奥尼亚人完全可能逃掉。”狄奥尼修斯担忧的说道。 Pharacidas takes the observer, instead can maintain a calm mentality: „Makes them escape, always compares to be defeated by them.” 菲比达斯作为旁观者,反而能保持一个冷静的心态:“让他们逃掉,总比被他们击败好。” Dionysius hear silent, in his heart is truly swayed by personal gains and losses, contradictory exceptionally. 狄奥尼修斯听完沉默不语,他心中确实是患得患失,矛盾异常。 Rear area he turns head to look huge all over the sky dust and fog that the team that marches rapidly stirs...... 他扭头回望后方被庞大的、急促行军的队伍搅起的满天尘雾…… Also nearly looks at that dense and numerous soldier's fast process before his convoy guard, although the armor and shield lance also selects on the shoulder, but in the sweat has soaked sets off, the rapid breathing collects in together, even somewhat ear-spitting...... 又近看那密密麻麻的士兵在他的护卫队前快速经过,虽然盔甲、盾矛还只是挑在肩上,但汗水已经湿透里衬,急促的呼吸声汇集在一起,甚至有些震耳…… Looks into the front again, on the broad Crotone plain except for hires the cavalry to gallop occasionally obviously, all peaceful exceptionally, however the Theonia army actually possibly waits at ease for an exhausted enemy in the place that he cannot see...... 再眺望前方,广阔的克罗顿平原上除了偶尔可见雇佣骑兵驰骋,一切安静异常,但是戴奥尼亚的大军却可能在他看不到的地方以逸待劳…… Dionysius hesitant a while, finally sets firm resolve: „Pharacidas, presses doing that you said that I decided that is arranged the formation by you.” 狄奥尼修斯犹豫了一会儿,终于下定了决心:“菲比达斯,就按你说的做,我决定由你来布置阵型。” Pharacidas has not postponed, is excited, this is he hopes. 菲比达斯没有推迟,一脸兴奋,这正是他所希望的。 „Do I need to remove hand/subordinate?” flatter stream Rheta asked. “我需要把手下都撤回来吗？”阿溪里塔问道。 „The cavalry who you and gal close to the cavalries in continue expel the enemy, preventing them to spy on our set up formation, simultaneously you must follow the trend of enemy closely.” Pharacidas starts to issue the order: „...... You told me, Theonian the further information of arrange/cloth array......” “你和伽巴的骑兵继续驱逐敌人的骑兵,防止它们窥探到我们的布阵,同时你们要紧密注视敌人的动向。”菲比达斯开始下达命令:“还有……你来告诉我,戴奥尼亚人所布阵列的详细情况……” .................................... ……………………………… The time has passed noon, has not found Syracuse army, Davos is suspicious. Although luckily, the Theonia cavalry was suppressed, is unable to observe the enemy, but the Theonia fleet actually runs amuck in the sea, they have circled to Crotone south the coast of plain, because without discovering should the retreating Syracuse army, feel that the meter/rice Dorotheus decisive dispatch express steamer of doubts lands on the secluded beach quietly, sending the sailor to come ashore to nose, shortly after they discovered the secret of Syracuse person. 时间已过中午,还未见锡拉库扎大军的踪影,戴弗斯心生疑惑。幸好,虽然戴奥尼亚骑兵受到压制,无法观察到敌人,但是戴奥尼亚舰队却在海上横行,它们已绕到克罗顿南部平原的海岸,由于没有发现原本应该正在撤退的锡拉库扎大军,感到疑惑的米多拉德斯果断的派遣快船悄悄在僻静的海滩上登陆,派水手上岸查探,没多久他们就发现了锡拉库扎人的秘密。 Originally, Syracuse person in formation! Obtains news that the express steamer feeds, Davos somewhat had mixed feelings, said no that on was regrettable, was the anticipation. 原来,锡拉库扎人在列阵！得到快船传回的消息,戴弗斯的心情有些复杂,说不上是遗憾,还是期待。 He talked to oneself in a soft voice: „It seems like your Dionysius is discrete, since you do not come, then I pass, makes us fight a victory and defeat open and aboveboard!” 他轻声自语道:“看来你狄奥尼修斯还算谨慎,既然你不来,那么我过去,就让我们堂堂正正的决一胜负！” „Order, the army turns around, marches to south!” The Davos heroic feelings sends steep, issues the order loudly. “命令,全军掉头,向南行军！”戴弗斯豪情陡发,大声下达命令。 „How toward to walk to south?!” Many soldiers feel the doubts and discontented for this order back and forth. “怎么又往向南走了？！”不少士兵为这来来回回的命令感到疑惑和不满。 But legatus and senior team officers had had a premonition that approaching of fight footsteps, such as Amintas, Matonis and other warlike elements are excited. 但各位军团长和高级队官们已经预感到战斗脚步的临近,如阿明塔斯、马托尼斯等好战分子已经激动起来。 „Reported your majesty, Crotone and Terina 5000 reinforcements have rushed!” “报告陛下,克罗托内和特里纳的5000名援军已经赶到！” Davos hears word, the spirit feels pumped up: „Good! Who leading general is?” 戴弗斯闻言,精神为之一振:“太好了！领军将领是谁？” „Terina is Siprus, Crotone is Milo.” “特里纳是西普洛斯,克罗托内是米隆。” Davos gawks: „Milo? By Milo that Crotone expels?” 戴弗斯一楞:“米隆？被克罗托内驱逐的米隆？” „Yes, your majesty. I have confirmed that is he! After this war breaks out, he was recalled by Crotone, and after the Crotone city downcasts, was protected the City People urgent election is the general.” Tolmides knows Davos to have the question early, therefore investigated beforehand. “是的,陛下。我已经确认过了,就是他！这一次战争爆发后,他就被克罗托内召回了,并在克罗托内城陷落之后,被卫城民众紧急推选为将军。”托尔米德早知戴弗斯会有疑问,因此事先做了调查。 These two general may be the old friends! After the second Crotone war, the command capability of Davos to Milo has understand. But with Siprus is the common contact, Davos even thinks that „he is a politician who in south intent Union city-state broad-minded and nimble and most can see clearly the situation”. 这两位将领可都是老相识了！经过第二次克罗托内战争,戴弗斯对米隆的指挥能力是有所了解的。而与西普洛斯更是常有接触,戴弗斯甚至认为“他是南意同盟城邦中心胸开阔、头脑灵活、最能看清大势的一位政坛人物”。 Two people ability is not weak, Davos feels relieved much, he also asked: „Are the reinforcements that they lead a heavy infantry?” 两人都能力不弱,戴弗斯放心不少,他又问道:“他们所率的援军都是重步兵吗？” „Only has 300 light infantries, other all are the heavy infantries.” Tolmides replied. “只有300名轻步兵,其余全是重步兵。”托尔米德回答。 „Since this......” Davos slightly makes the thinking, said: „Lets them formation left side of the first regiment, accompanies the army to go forward together.” “既然这样……”戴弗斯略作思索,说道:“就让他们在第一军团左端列阵,随同大军一同前进。” „In most left side formation?” Understood that Tolmides one hear of Davos combat plan, asking that some do not feel relieved: „Your majesty, there possibly is the key point that the enemy attacks, can they stall the attack of enemy?” “在最左端列阵？”了解戴弗斯作战计划的托尔米德一听,有些不放心的问道:“陛下,那里可能是敌人进攻的重点,他们能挡住敌人的进攻吗？” „The Syracuse person attacked and occupied their city, slaughters their family members, they hatred to Syracuse person by far in us, the fighting spirit is more exuberant than our soldiers! I believe them, even if fights to the last person, will not flinch!” Davos tone slow and firm saying. “锡拉库扎人攻占了他们的城市,屠杀他们的亲人,他们对锡拉库扎人的仇恨远胜于我们,斗志比我们的士兵更加旺盛！我相信他们哪怕战至最后一人,也绝不会退缩！”戴弗斯语气缓慢而又坚定的说道。 „I understood.” Tolmides not again hesitant, turns around to prepare to spread to the messengers, was stopped by calling out by Davos: „You told Milo and Siprus personally, because the military situation was urgent, I am unable to hurry to greet them. The war will soon arrive, hopes that they are ready full power, works as one together, to encroaching upon our homeland, cruelly harming the Syracuse people of our people takes revenge!” “我明白了。”托尔米德没有再犹豫,转身准备驰向传令兵们,又被戴弗斯叫住:“你亲自去告诉米隆和西普洛斯,因为军情紧急,我无法赶去迎接他们。大战即将到来,希望他们全力做好准备,一起齐心协力,向侵犯我们家园、残害我们民众的锡拉库扎人复仇！” „Yes.” Tolmides excited good a military salute. “是。”托尔米德激动的行了一个军礼。 .................................... ……………………………… Crotone and Terina army got down the hill, circles in the north gate to city to go out of town, all the way sees is the remnant eave cliff and sores all over the eye, this increased the anger in soldiers heart, Milo and Phnou controls them to disperse few Nummi Biya cavalry who rather than the pursuit harasses with great difficulty, finally caught up with the Theonia army who marches to south, receives the order of Tolmides transmission, Milo and Siprus relaxes. 克罗托内、特里纳的军队下了山丘,绕到城内的北门出城,一路上看到的全是残檐断壁、满目疮痍,这更增加了士兵们心中的愤怒,米隆和西普诺斯好不容易才控制住他们只是驱散而不是去追击来骚扰的少量努米比亚骑兵,终于赶上了向南行军的戴奥尼亚大军,接到托尔米德传达的命令,米隆和西普洛斯都松了口气。 Because their armies catch up from the east side, is located in the entire Theonia army array most left side, only need launch the team, connects with the Theonia first regiment then, does not need to consume more energy again, must know that catches up, some soldiers asthmas. 因为他们的部队从东面赶来,正好位于整支戴奥尼亚大军阵列的最左端,只需将队伍展开,与戴奥尼亚第一军团连接即可,不用再耗费更多的精力,要知道一路赶来,士兵们都有些气喘。 Tolmides sees two series army general spirits somewhat to relax, cannot bear remind: „Two Sirs, according to your majesty pre-war analysis, our left flank are the key points that the enemy attacks, you must enhance vigilance!” 托尔米德见两位统军将领精神有些放松,忍不住提醒道:“两位大人,根据陛下战前的分析,我们的左翼将会是敌人进攻的重点,你们一定要提高警惕！” „Why?” Milo and Siprus asking with one voice. “为什么？”米隆和西普洛斯异口同声的问道。 Each time before the battle, Davos and to legatus specifically described his senior team officers of combat intention, to guarantee they can carry out smoothly. Let alone fights must start immediately, necessity that Tolmides has not concealed, his sincere saying: „Because the Syracuse soldier quantity are more than us, therefore after your majesty commanded the army to cross Neto river, made the seventh regiment march forward along Targines river east bank. As the matter stands, Syracuse person , to display person many advantages, attacks our left flank with emphasis is their optimization.” 每次会战前,戴弗斯都会将他的作战意图对军团长和高级队官们详细说明,以保证他们能顺利执行。更何况大战马上就要开始,托尔米德没有隐瞒的必要,他正色的说道:“因为锡拉库扎的士兵数量比我们多,所以陛下率军渡过内托河之后就让第七军团沿着塔奇纳迪河东岸行进。这样一来,锡拉库扎人要想发挥人多的优势,重点进攻我们的左翼是他们的最佳选择。”
