Davos has not waited for the patience that the opposite party ended obviously, immediately orders: „Attack!” 戴弗斯显然没有等待对方结束的耐心,当即一声令下:“进攻！” Dozens even arrangements in the giant array rear division trumpeter sounds the bugle in hand one after another. 几十个均匀排列在巨大阵列后方的司号兵相继吹响手中的军号。 „!!!......” Vigorous bugle call shoots up to the sky. “呜！！！……”雄浑的号声冲天而起。 „Is the brothers who Drakos legatus and died in battle revenges!” First shouted loudly situated in the huge phalanx center fourth, fifth regiment soldier, soon met the responses of other armies, the call of revenge replaced the summon to Hades, when the sound when shared a common hatred resounded, the morale of Theonia soldiers has risen the peak. “为德拉科斯军团长和战死的弟兄们报仇！”位于巨大方阵中路的第四、第五军团士兵首先高喊,很快得到其他部队的响应,复仇的呐喊代替了对哈迪斯的呼唤,当同仇敌忾的声音响成一片之时,戴奥尼亚士兵们的士气已经上升到了顶峰。 „Deceitful Davos! Damn Davos!” Dionysius yells furiously, the military accounts for the superior Syracuse army to be grasped repeatedly actively by Theonian, this has let since landing Magna Graecia, smooth he feels to feel suffocated on the land. The Syracuse soldiers have not completed the pray, the enemy has started to attack, as a result of the arrangement of tactic, he actually cannot wait for the soldiers to complete the pray to go forward again, therefore this definitely will have affected on the morale of soldiers, he can only console oneself: That young people will only act smart, decided truly battle victory and defeat must depend on the strength! “狡诈的戴弗斯！该死的戴弗斯！”狄奥尼修斯气得大骂,兵力占优的锡拉库扎军队一再被戴奥尼亚人掌握主动,这让自登陆大希腊以来、在陆地上顺风顺水的他感到憋气。锡拉库扎士兵们还没有完成祈祷,敌人已经开始进攻,由于战术的安排,他却不能等待士兵们完成祈祷再前进,因此这必然会对士兵们的士气有所影响,他只能自我安慰:那个年轻人只会耍小聪明而已,真正决定会战胜负的还要靠实力！ „Attack!” His appearance is fierce, loud shouting of resenting. “进攻！”他面目狰狞,愤恨的大声喊道。 Last day of afternoon of 394 B. C., on the Crotone plain, one decided the significant battle that the western Mediterranean Greece city-state overlord belonged to started. 公元前394年的最后一天的下午,在克罗顿平原上,一场决定西地中海希腊城邦霸主归属的重大会战开始了。 A Theonia alliance side has the Bruttii soldier 5000 person, Crotone and Terina who Reinforcements 5000 people the first regiment more than 5000 people and second regiment more than 7000 people, fourth and fifth regiment more than 12,000 people, sixth and seventh regiment 14000 person and long spear/gun brigade 6000 people and Hieronymus recruit, adds on the cavalry corps approximately 1500 person and mountain ridge detection brigade 1000 people, to have the convoy guard 300 people again, the Theonia total military strength is more than 58000 people. 戴奥尼亚联盟一方拥有第一军团5000多人、第二军团7000多人、第四和第五军团一万两千多人、第六和第七军团14000人、长枪大队6000人、希罗尼穆斯所征召的布鲁提战士5000人、克罗托内与特里纳援军5000人、再加上骑兵军团约1500人、山岭侦查大队一千人、还有护卫队300人,戴奥尼亚总兵力为58000多人。 Davos puts in the seventh regiment that Matonis leads in most right flank, close to Targines river, then arranges in turn toward left, respectively is the Olivos sixth regiment and Hieronymus Bruttii soldier and Epiphanes fourth regiment and Philesius fifth regiment and Amintas second regiment and Antonios first regiment and Crotone Terina the reinforcements, the Ledes cavalry corps are located in most left flank, the lance brigade that Kapus leads behind Koethe Reinforcements, arranges by the garrison, is vertical with phalanx. left flank of Koethe Reinforcements and first, second regiment formed the thickness according to the Davos special injunction is 15 rows of rows, other army lineup thickness were 8-10 rows. 戴弗斯将马托尼斯率领的第七军团置于在最右翼,靠近塔奇纳迪河,然后依次往左排列,分别是奥利弗斯的第六军团、希罗尼穆斯的布鲁提战士、埃皮忒尼斯的第四军团、斐利修斯的第五军团、阿明塔斯的第二军团、安东尼奥斯的第一军团、克罗托内-特里纳援军,莱德斯的骑兵军团位于最左翼,卡普斯率领的长矛大队在克特援军后方,以纵队排列,与方阵垂直。克特援军、第一、第二军团的左翼按照戴弗斯的特别嘱咐形成了厚度为15列的横列,其余部队阵形厚度均为8-10列。 The cavalry corps are most special, they spread by the loose formation as far as possible toward left and backward, occupies very big region with every effort, while camouflaging enemy's investigation to growing hair brigade, for also serves another purpose before the battle. 骑兵军团最为特殊,它们尽量以松散阵型向左、向后扩散,尽力占据很大的区域,在遮蔽敌人对己方长毛大队的探查的同时,也为了在会战之前达到另一个目的。 A Syracuse army side when landing Magna Graecia has the infantry 80000 person and Nummi Biya cavalry 2000 person and Celtic cavalry 800 person and Sicily Union cavalry 1000 people, a Amato river battle loss fails to keep an appointment 4000 people, afterward Caulonia surrendered, provides 4000 soldiers, in addition some armies of Locri allied country join one after another, the Syracuse military strength instead was over 90,000 people. 锡拉库扎军队一方在登陆大希腊时拥有步兵80000人、努米比亚骑兵2000人、凯尔特骑兵八百人、西西里同盟骑兵一千人,拉马托河一战损失约4000人,后来考伦尼亚降服,提供4000名士兵,再加上洛克里盟邦的一些军队陆续加入,锡拉库扎的陆军兵力反而超过了九万人。 city-state that but Scylletium and Terina two just conquered needs to arrange the garrison, particularly Scylletium needs the number of troops unable to be few as the logistics replenishment base of army, to prevent Theonia the attack that came from the Bruttii direction, with its navy from marine surprise attack. Faces the Aprustum city's camps also to need some people to guard, to prevent battle, the enemy attacks from the Aprustum city, attacks the rear area of army. As the matter stands, altogether divided about 13,000 people. 但西里庭、特里纳两个刚征服的城邦需要安排驻军,尤其是西里庭作为大军的后勤供应基地所需驻军人数还不能少,以防止戴奥尼亚从布鲁提方向过来的袭击,和其海军从海上的突袭。还有面对阿斯普鲁斯图姆城的营地也需要有人驻守,以防止会战期间,敌人从阿斯普鲁斯图姆城出击,攻击大军的后方。这样一来,总共就分走了将近一万三千人。 After attacking and capturing the Crotone city, Syracuse army afterward statistics death and severely wounded soldiers approximately 7000 people. Theonia navy at a Crotone sea level war, because Leptines listens to the suggestion of Dionysius, sending 9000 elite soldiers to battle to the warship on, finally the disastrous defeat, lost the soldier approximately 7000 people, Syracuse infantry who therefore participated in this battle finally, the total military strength was 62000 people, in addition the cavalry 3500 people( in the Amato river battle and in loss to Theonia land grabbing of), 65500 people, have been more than 7500 people the Theonia military. And the cavalry is more than two times of Theonia cavalry. 攻克克罗托内城之后,锡拉库扎军队后来的统计死亡和重伤的士兵人数约7000人。戴奥尼亚海军在克罗托内海面一战,由于莱普提涅斯听取狄奥尼修斯的建议,派上了9000名精锐士兵到战船上作战,结果惨败,损失士兵约7000人,因此最终参与这次会战的锡拉库扎步兵,总兵力为62000人,再加上骑兵3500人(在拉马托河会战和对戴奥尼亚土地的劫掠中有所损失),共65500人,足足比戴奥尼亚的兵力多出7500人。其中骑兵是戴奥尼亚骑兵的两倍多。 Therefore Pharacidas after was understanding initially army arrangement of Theonia, discussed with Dionysius: Other strength weak Sicily city-state allied armies, in addition the army approximately 18000 people of Locri union are commanded the arrangement by Schiepe Sars in left flank ; Has Dionysius personally to lead to assume center with the Syracuse citizen soldier 9000 people by the Campania mercenaries 10,000 people ; But right flank is many years follows the crack troops 15000 people that Dionysius goes on an expedition( is mainly a mercenary, latter passes through Dionysius to give the Syracuse civil rights and land, to Dionysius most is loyal), the Syracuse citizen soldier 10,000 people leads by Pharacidas ; Most right flank is 3500 cavalries, because in the previous battle, hires the cavalry not according to beforehand plan conduct, therefore before this battle, not only Dionysius warned two alien race leaders over and over, and lets the short temper and aggressive Astaburuaga Glass hold the post of cavalry soldier's the temporary command from three different influences, by facilitating execution of plan. 所以菲比达斯在初步了解了戴奥尼亚的军阵布置之后,就和狄奥尼修斯商议:将实力较弱的西西里其他城邦联军,加上洛克里同盟的军队约18000人由法西佩萨斯统率布置于左翼;由坎帕尼亚雇佣军1万人和锡拉库扎公民兵9000人有狄奥尼修斯亲自率领坐镇中路;而右翼则是多年跟随狄奥尼修斯征战的精兵15000人(主要是雇佣兵,后经狄奥尼修斯给予锡拉库扎公民权和土地,对狄奥尼修斯最是忠诚)、锡拉库扎公民兵1万人由菲比达斯率领;最右翼是3500名骑兵,由于在上一次的会战中,雇佣骑兵没有按照事先的计划行事,所以在这一次会战前,不但狄奥尼修斯再三警告了两位异族首领,并且让脾气暴躁、凶悍的阿斯塔格拉斯担任着来自三股不同势力的骑兵的临时统帅,以方便计划的执行。 The bugle of attack sounds, the Theonia left , middle and right three groups of armies push onward simultaneously forward with steady steps, the light infantries of each regiment's seventh brigade are fast before „checking” the type small phalanx intermittence arrives, by the loose battleline charges into the enemy ranks. They so fast advance, a goal is to force to ride to withdraw before the enemy who patrols, is unable to observe some Theonia army later reassignments again. But withdrawing that the employment cavalry also such as they hopes to Syracuse army most right flank, did to rest slightly, to prepare the following attack 进攻的军号吹响,戴奥尼亚的左、中、右三路大军同时向前稳步挺进,各个军团第七大队的轻步兵们则快速通过“棋盘格”式小方阵的间歇来到阵前,以松散的阵线冲向敌阵。他们之所以如此快速的前进,还有一个目的就是逼迫在阵前游弋的敌骑后撤,无法再观察到戴奥尼亚军队随后的一些调动。而雇佣骑兵也如他们所愿的后撤到了锡拉库扎军阵的最右翼,稍作歇息,以准备接下来的进攻 The Syracuse light infantry has arranged in the array front, does not show weakness welcomed goes forward. 锡拉库扎的轻步兵则是早就布置在阵列前方,毫不示弱的迎上前。 When heavy infantry main force also distance 500 meters away of both sides, light infantries of both sides surpass more than 10,000 people to start to fight. Suddenly, from west to east in this about 89-mile horizontal line, arrow arrow like rain, javelin like hail, uninterrupted interlocks the collision in the midair, then the body of stabbing soldier, claims their lives...... 当双方的重步兵主力还相距在500米之外时,双方的轻步兵超过一万多人已经开始交手。一时间,从西到东这长约89里的横线上,箭矢如雨,标枪如雹,不间断的在半空中交错碰撞,然后刺中士兵的身体,带走他们的生命…… Compares Theonia army left , middle and right three groups to go forward at the almost same speed, the Syracuse situation is different, its left, two groups of main army rates of progression are slow, the right goes forward in big strides. 相比较戴奥尼亚军阵的左、中、右三路都是以几乎相同的速度前进,锡拉库扎的情况有所不同,它的左、中两路主力军阵的前进速度较慢,右路则是大踏步前进。 Pharacidas most front row situated in right flank leads, this thickness of 25000 Syracuse crack troops comprised are powerful right flank of 25 rows, to welcome compared with the center soldier quick two times of steps to the front enemy, start and center gradually were separated. 菲比达斯是位于右翼的最前列带领者,这个由25000名锡拉库扎精兵组成的厚度为25横列的强大右翼,以比中路士兵快两倍的步数迎向前面的敌人,渐渐的开始与中路脱离。 But is quicker in most right flank cavalry speed. A bugle call sound, more than 3500 cavalries accelerate at length approximately one li (0.5 km) many width directly forward, start to walk the warhorses of four hooves to promote quickly the speed. 而在最右翼的骑兵速度更快。号声一响,3500多名骑兵以长约一里多的宽正面向前加速,迈开四蹄的战马很快就将速度提升上去。 800 Celtic cavalries situated in most front row, Alps foot and life of this crowd from the aggressive race of Polesine, Nummi Biya cavalry who its cavalry tactic and action fast move fast are different, they disdain in depending to tempt the enemy, harassment and javelin throw to kill the enemy, is good at charge face-to-face slaughtering, particularly drives the chariot to attack enemy strict army, because is employed in Syracuse, is far away, does not facilitate to transport the chariot, has not carried. But even does not have the chariot, the impulse of Celtic cavalry is still fearful, their most cavalries grasp the big sword, rather than the lance, this easier to cut open the neck of opposite party in the cavalry to the war, therefore Astaburuaga Glass its platoon in most front row, uses its strong lethality to clash the cavalry lineup of chaotic enemy. 800名凯尔特骑兵位于最前列,这群来自阿尔卑斯山脚、生活在波河平原的凶悍种族,其骑兵战术与行动迅捷飘忽的努米比亚骑兵不同,它们不屑于靠诱敌、骚扰、投掷标枪来杀伤敌人,更擅长面对面的冲锋厮杀,尤其是驾驶战车冲击敌人严密的军阵,只是因为受雇于锡拉库扎,路途遥远,不方便运送战车,才没有携带。但即使没有战车,凯尔特骑兵的冲击力依旧可怕,他们大部分骑兵手持大剑,而不是长矛,这样更容易在骑兵对战中切开对方的脖子,因此阿斯塔格拉斯将其排在最前列,利用其强大的杀伤力冲乱敌人的骑兵阵形。 The afterward more than 1800 Nummi Biya cavalry, gives the enemy to ride the heavy losses again, final Sicily cavalry under Astaburuaga Glass's leadership, but cleans up the aftermath, then restrains these employment cavalries, do not pursue, attacks the enemy left flank rear area together. Several thousand warhorse running quickly, raise everywhere dust and fog again, as if over a hundred battle drums strike the sound simultaneously, the land trembling of keeping 随后的1800多名努米比亚骑兵,再给予敌骑重创,最后的西西里骑兵在阿斯塔格拉斯的率领下,只是收拾残局,然后约束这些雇佣骑兵,不要追击,一起攻击敌人左翼的后方。几千匹战马奔驰,再度掀起漫天尘雾,仿佛上百台战鼓同时擂响,大地都在不停的震颤 But the Theonia more than 1500 cavalries are also going forward similarly, but the speed does not have the enemy to be fast, more particularly also drags to entrain the branch situated in the rear cavalry warhorse ponytail, is easier to stir the ground the dust. 而戴奥尼亚的1500多名骑兵同样也在前进,只是速度没有敌人快,尤其特别的是处于尾部的骑兵战马马尾上还拖拽着树枝,更容易搅起地上的尘土。 When rides also more than 200 meters away the enemy, cavalry legatus Ledes then has a look at behind already the dust and fog that starts to fill, slightly anxious to following closely several bugler cavalries shouts: „Retreats!” 在距敌骑还有两百多米时,骑兵军团长莱德斯回头看看身后已经开始弥漫的尘雾,略显紧张的向紧随身旁的几名司号骑兵喊道:“撤退！” Even if several bugles also sound, at the hoofbeat such as the battlefield of thunder cannot guarantee that similarly is the formation loose and positive/direct formation length is nearly one li (0.5 km) Theonia cavalry to hear completely, is good because of before after the multiple trainings, the cavalries has always been paying attention to the trend of nearby teammate. 即使是几把军号同时吹响,在马蹄声如雷的战场也不能保证同样是阵型松散、正面队形长度长达近一里的戴奥尼亚骑兵能全部听见,好在之前已经经过多次的训练,骑兵们都时刻关注着附近队友的动向。 In the Theonia cavalry dials completely the horse returns rushes, the Syracuse cavalry has approached to hundred meters , the hoofbeat that thunders is striking the Ledes nervous heart, he urges the horse to go forward, is looking keenly at the front, when sees that human wall, a heart hung immediately: „Shifts!” He shouts one, dials the horse to run quickly toward left. 就在戴奥尼亚骑兵全部拨马回奔时,锡拉库扎骑兵已经逼近到百米内,身后轰鸣的马蹄声敲打着莱德斯紧张的心,他一面催马前进,一面紧盯着前方,看到那一堵人墙时,一颗心顿时悬了起来:“转向！”他大喊一声,拨马向左奔驰。 Does not need him to yell, all can see the Theonia cavalry who this scene acts according to beforehand the training that undergoes, separates to the both sides rapidly. 根本无需他叫喊,所有能看到此情景的戴奥尼亚骑兵根据之前的所接受的训练,迅速向两侧分开。 Is following the front trend in the rear cavalry time, sees the ally changes, immediately follows closely the change. 在后方的骑兵时刻注视着前方的动向,一见到战友变向,立即紧随改变。 ....................................... ………………………………… When the Theonia attack bugle sounds, the lance brigade has not accompanied other armies to go forward immediately together, but is the rapid elongation tandem, and moves to the position of former cavalry immediately, the shape grows approximately one, to reach ten rows of phalanx thick, decorated alone in army behind. 当戴奥尼亚的进攻军号吹响时,长矛大队并未立刻随同其他军队一起前进,而是迅速的拉长纵列,并立刻移至原骑兵的位置,形成长约一里、厚达十列的方阵,独自缀在了全军的后面。 Situated in phalanx rear Kapus, although is experienced general, at this moment is extremely also nervous: When these copes with the enemy to ride time the tactical and Trionto that river engages in a decisive battle similarly, however the scale of war big several times, the cavalry of enemy was also more intrepid, but the soldier quality that oneself lead actually compared was not swindled beginning that batch the soldier from Persia expeditionary force, can they resist several thousand enemies who the upfront charge came to ride?! 位于方阵后方的卡普斯虽然已经是身经百战的将领,此刻的心情也万分紧张:虽然这一次对付敌骑的战术与特里翁托河会战时相似,但是战争的规模却大了好几倍,敌人的骑兵也更加强悍,而自己所率领的士兵素质却比不上当初的那一批来自波斯远征军的士兵,他们能抵御住正面冲锋而来的几千名敌骑吗？！
