Therefore, acts the clumsyKoetheReinforcementsheavy infantriesto hitmutuallycrowded, shouting in confusion, the arraybecomes the suitableconfusion.
于是,行动笨拙的克特援军重步兵们相互挤撞着,吵嚷着,阵列变得相当的混乱。However, MiloandSiprusat this momenthave strengthenedmustcompleteshift of array, because of approaching of enemy, rodeinimmediatelythemhad seen clearly the offensive direction of enemy, ifKoetheReinforcementsare unable to beconsistentwith the array of first, secondregiment, thenprominentKoetheReinforcements the flank of beforearraycompletelyexposedunder the frontal attack of enemy, waited fortheir, only thenperished.
但是,此刻的米隆和西普洛斯已经坚定的要完成阵列的转向,因为随着敌人的逼近,骑在马上的他俩已经看清了敌人的进攻方向,如果克特援军无法与第一、第二军团的阵列保持一致,那么突出在阵列前的克特援军的侧翼就完全暴露在敌人的正面攻击之下,等待他们的只有灭亡。Thereforetwo peoplelead the guard of brigade, rides a horsefastcirclesbefore, will puncture the spear/gunsitat side, calledloudly, unceasingly before becomingimmediately, forcessoldiersturning backward......
于是两人带着大队的护卫,快速骑马绕到阵前,一个个将刺枪打横,大声吆喝,不断趋马上前,逼迫士兵们后退转向……Pharacidaswhenadvanceon the way ofdiscoveredimpressively the frontTheoniaarmystopped the advance, heis feeling the doubts, originallydiagonally oppositehisTheonialeft flankarraystartgraduallytohim......菲比达斯在前进的途中赫然发现前方的戴奥尼亚军队停止了前进,他正感到疑惑时,原本斜对着他的戴奥尼亚左翼阵列渐渐的开始正对他了……Pharacidasis startled: Are the enemies conducting the arrayto shift?! The enemiesdareto conduct the arrayto shiftin the battle!!菲比达斯大吃一惊:敌人在进行阵列转向?!敌人竟敢在会战时进行阵列转向!!Pharacidas is so startledwell-founded: Once the Greek Hoplitebattle of thistimestarts, the player and enemyaccording tobeforehandplanin opposite directions the line, are very difficultto achievebigtacticalchange. This is because the heavy infantryaction of heavyhelmetheavyarmoris first clumsy, itself is very difficultto make the flexiblemobility;Next, the city-statecitizensoldierlacks the characteristics of training, makesthem who bycrowdedphalanxmarches forwardnot dareto make the complextactical maneuvering, in order to avoid the arrayhas the confusion, insteadis vulnerable.菲比达斯如此吃惊是有理由的:这个时代的希腊重步兵会战一旦开始,敌我双方按照事先的计划相向而行,很难做到较大的战术改变。这是因为首先重盔重甲的重步兵行动笨拙,本身就很难做出较灵活的机动;其次,城邦公民兵缺乏训练的特性,也让以密集方阵行进的他们不敢去做复杂的战术机动,以免阵列出现混乱,反而易受攻击。One of reasons that this is also the Spartasoldierhas the advantagein the battle, canbe counted the professionalsoldierSpartasoldierto be ablein the battleto achieve the tactical maneuvering that othercity-statearmycannot achieve. Buteven the Spartaperson, stillmarches forward the characteristicsusing the heavy infantryin the bigbattle, deducts the pinnacle the laevo-rotatorytactic, theyrarelyafter the battlestartsmakes the temporarytacticalchange, likesuch that presentoppositeTheonianmakes, this is becauseSparta is like mostGreekcity-state, directs the Spartateamofficersandgeneral of variousarmiesacts according to the Spartacity-statetradition, mustplace oneselfwith the soldiersintogether, with the enemyslaughters( the Spartakingdoes not use, hecanassume personal commandto direct, generalhand/subordinatewas located in, command effectiveness that hedisplayedsignificantlyweakened). Butcity-state of democraticsystemevencalls on the general to place a armyfront row, playsfunction that takes the lead, thiswill not be accusedinecclesia. The attackbugle when engages in a decisive battlesounds, after the armymarches forward, generalalmostlostto the direction of entirearmy, armywill defer to the tactic of formulationto engage in a decisive battlebeforehand.
这也是斯巴达战士在会战中占据优势的原因之一,可以算作职业士兵斯巴达战士能够在会战中做到别的城邦军队做不到的战术机动。但即使是斯巴达人,在大的会战中也只是利用重步兵行进中的特点,将左旋战术演绎到极致而已,他们很少在会战开始后再做临时的战术变动,就像现在对面的戴奥尼亚人所做的那样,这是因为斯巴达和大多数希腊城邦一样,指挥各支军队的斯巴达队官和将领根据斯巴达的城邦传统,要同士兵们一起置身于阵中,同敌人厮杀(斯巴达王不用,他可以坐镇指挥,不过手下的将领都位于阵中了,他所发挥的指挥效能大大削弱)。而民主制的城邦甚至要求将军要身处军阵前列,起到身先士卒的作用,这样才不会在公民大会中受到指责。所以当会战的进攻号角吹响,大军行进后,将领们就几乎失去了对整支部队的指挥,军阵将按照事先制定的战术进行会战。Theonialeft flankobviouslyaims attemporarilychanges the tacticstrulyto makePharacidas that the attack of Syracuseright flankis conductedshock, naturallyhealsosaw the confusion in Theoniaarmyhaving( is mainly KoetheReinforcements), thismanymade up forhimbecause of probably cannot to attacklosing that the enemyflankbrought.戴奥尼亚的左翼明显针对锡拉库扎右翼的进攻所进行的临时变阵确实让菲比达斯震惊,当然他也看到了戴奥尼亚军阵中出现的混乱(主要是克特援军),这多少弥补了他因可能无法进攻敌人侧翼而带来的失落。„Quickly! Againquickly!!......”Pharacidasyells, whilesteps out. What a pityhisshouting can only drivea handfulsoldier, regarding25000people of hugephalanx, throws intogallopinglike the pebble the river, cannot have an effect.
“快一点!再快一点!!……”菲比达斯一边大声喊叫,一边加快脚步。可惜他的呼喊只能带动身边的一小撮士兵,对于25000人的巨大方阵而言,就像石子投进奔腾的大河,起不了什么作用。Syracuseright flankdefers to the beforehandplanto march forwardas before, butwith the great leap of soldiers, itamong the distancewithTheonialeft flankis pulling closerrapidly......锡拉库扎的右翼依旧按照之前的计划在行进,但随着士兵们的大步前进,它与戴奥尼亚左翼之间的距离在迅速拉近……
The Syracuselight infantry who slaughtersin the middlehas startedto evacuate, but the firstregiment'sseventhbrigade and Arpenst who secondregiment'sseventhbrigadeCidleads was still located in the phalanxfront, is not only becauseTheoniacheckingphalanxleaves leewayenoughmanywithdrawal lanestothem , because theymustprevent the Syracuseright flankrate of progressionas far as possible, isKoetheReinforcementscompletes the arrayto shiftwins the time.
在中间厮杀的锡拉库扎轻步兵已经开始撤离,而茨皮特率领的第一军团第七大队、阿尔普恩斯的第二军团第七大队仍然位于方阵前方,不仅是因为戴奥尼亚的棋盘格方阵给他们留有足够多的撤退通道,更是因为它们要尽可能的阻止锡拉库扎右翼的前进速度,为克特援军完成阵列转向争取时间。
The closeSyracusearmyletsKoetheReinforcementssoldieranxiousat the same time, alsoforcedthemto pick up the speed of changing the tactics.
近在咫尺的锡拉库扎大军让克特援军士兵紧张的同时,也迫使他们加快了变阵的速度。First, the effort of secondregimentlight infantry the footsteps that cannot prevent the Syracusepersonfrom advancing, theyonlyprojected a round of javelin, to project a roundarrowarrow, has tounderforcing of Syracusearray, graduallyretreatrear area.
第一、第二军团轻步兵的努力阻止不了锡拉库扎人前进的脚步,他们只多投出了一轮标枪、射出一轮箭矢,就不得不在锡拉库扎阵列的逼迫下,逐渐撤退到后方。At this time, both armies, only then about 60meters, the array of KoetheReinforcementscompletedshiftreluctantly, when MiloandSiprushurry back to the phalanxrear area, has been sweating profusely, butinheartactuallyrelaxedmany.
此时,两军相距只有60米左右,克特援军的阵列勉强完成了转向,米隆和西普洛斯赶回方阵后方时,已经是满头大汗,但心中却轻松了不少。Saying of Miloquitesigh: „NowIknow the Crotonearmy and Theoniaregimentdisparitybig!”米隆颇为感叹的说道:“现在我才知道克罗托内的军队与戴奥尼亚军团差距有多大!”Butsaying that Siprushas a lingering fear: „LuckilySirDavosrequestsus to fromphalanxbe separatedover and over, standsin the rear area of formation, byfacilitatingdirection. Otherwiseeven ifwesaw the Syracusepersonactsslyly, does not have the meansto change, certainlymustsuffer a loss!”
而西普洛斯则心有余悸的说道:“幸亏戴弗斯大人再三要求我们必须从方阵中脱离出来,站在队列的后方,以方便指挥。否则我们即使看到了锡拉库扎人狡猾的行动,也没有办法去改变,肯定是要吃大亏的!”„Yes! Withoutinsistence of Theonian, webecause ofdreadingdifficulty, butdoes not dareto change the formation!”Milovoices the opinionsagain.
“是啊!如果没有戴奥尼亚人的坚持,我们会因为畏惧困难而不敢对阵型做出改变!”米隆再次发出感叹。At this time, Theonialeft flank and Syracuseright flankarrayalmostbecametwoparallel lines, withstill is almost actually verticalinTheonia Unit center that went forwardtosouthunceasingly.
这时,戴奥尼亚的左翼与锡拉库扎的右翼阵列几乎成了两条平行线,却与还在不断向南前进的戴奥尼亚中路几乎垂直。
The Syracuseright flankarmyis away fromTheonialeft flankto be getting more and more near, the Syracusesoldiersactuallystartto grip the roundshield in tighthand, afterTheonianhas fought, the Theonianuniquetacticfighting methodmakesthemrememberprofoundly.锡拉库扎右翼大军距离戴奥尼亚左翼越来越近,锡拉库扎士兵们却开始攥紧手中的圆盾,和戴奥尼亚人交过一次手后,戴奥尼亚人独特的战术打法让他们记忆深刻。WhenoppositeTheoniasoldierraises the javelin in hand, theirslightlysquattingbodies, protected the roundshieldin the top of the head, the javelinrain of sun-blockingraidedtoSyracusearmy, splashedflowers of the death, screamcontinuously the determination that did not affectthemto go forward, insteadmadethemspeed up the footsteps of advance, forcing the Theoniasoldierto project the secondround of javelinin a hurry, itsfragmentation effectmissedmuch.
当对面的戴奥尼亚士兵扬起手中的标枪时,他们微蹲身体,将圆盾护在了头顶,遮天蔽日的标枪雨袭向锡拉库扎军阵中,溅起一朵朵死亡之花,此起彼伏的惨叫声并不影响他们前进的决心,反而让他们加快了前进的脚步,迫使戴奥尼亚士兵匆匆的投出了第二轮标枪,其杀伤效果就差了不少。Nowboth armiestoare less than20meters, the Pharacidasa littleasthma, hecanhear the surroundingsoldierrapidbreathing, not onlythisisbecause before , fromretreatingto transfer the attack, hastyformation and quick steps the physical exertion that ranseveral hundredmetersinstituteto create, hadslaughtered the timewill soon arrivemakes the bodyproduceextremestimulated.
现在两军相距不到20米,就连菲比达斯都有一点气喘了,他能听到周围士兵急促的呼吸声,这不光是因为之前从撤退转为进攻、仓促的列阵以及疾步的奔走了几百米所造成的体力消耗,同时也有杀戮时刻的即将到来让身体所产生的极度亢奋。Through the helmetnarrow and smalleye socket, Pharacidascanseeoppositearmydense and numerouslongshield, lance and armorare sparkling, the blue black that the Theoniaarmyis in sole possession ofstilllets the personin the daytimeevensuch asnear the coldnight. Heknows that oppositeis the main force of Theoniaarmy, buthedoes not dread, insteadis stimulated, moreoverhealsodeeply believed that the Syracusesoldierswill not dread, becausenot onlytheysimilarlyareelite of Syracusearmy, but alsohad toldeachSicilysoldierinpre-warDionysius, ‚they, only thensuccessfullycansmoothlyreturn to the hometown, otherwise can only be buried in the foreign land!’
通过头盔狭小的眼孔,菲比达斯能看到了对面军阵密密麻麻的长盾、长矛和盔甲闪闪发光,戴奥尼亚军队所独有的深黑色即使在白天也让人如临寒冷的黑夜。他知道对面是戴奥尼亚军队的主力,但他并不畏惧,反而亢奋,而且他也深信锡拉库扎的士兵们也不会畏惧,不仅因为他们同样是锡拉库扎军队的精锐,而且在战前狄奥尼修斯已经告诉了每一位西西里士兵,‘他们只有胜利才能顺利回到家乡,否则只能葬身异乡了!’Does not have the urging of buglesound, the Syracusesoldierto shout loudly„Apollo!!”, The starting to walkstride, picked up the speedto startto charge, an entireSyracuseright flankphalanxas ifgoldenmountainwenttoward the enemysteamroll.
没有军号声的催促,锡拉库扎士兵纷纷高喊着“阿波罗!!”,迈开大步,加快速度开始冲锋了,整个锡拉库扎右翼方阵仿佛一座金色的大山向着敌人碾压而去。Meanwhile, in the oppositearmyalsoresounded the Theoniasoldierneatroar of „Hades!!!”, Startsto chargesimilarly, theylike the black tide in the marinestormsurging, a wave, anotherwave, gathers a giantwavepeakfinally, wells uptoSyracusepersonoverwhelming.
与此同时,对面军中也响起了戴奥尼亚士兵整齐的吼声“哈迪斯!!!”,同样开始冲锋,他们就像海上风暴中涌动的黑潮,一个浪头,又一个浪头,最终汇聚成一个巨大的浪峰,向锡拉库扎人排山倒海般涌去。ButKoetheReinforcementssoldiershugenemy of the nationto hate, angry roaring, mustmakefilled with furychange to the infinitestrength, the oathmustkill off the life and deathfoe.
而克特援军士兵则抱着国仇家恨,怒吼着,要让满腔怒火化作无穷的力量,誓要将生死仇敌杀光。Tens of thousandspeople of both feetpowerfultreadingto the ground, rumblemake noise, just likethunderous, the landis trembling.
几万人的双脚有力的踏向地面,隆隆作响,犹如雷鸣,大地都在震颤。Bangloudly, heavy infantrystartedto the war......
轰然的巨响,重步兵的对战开始了…….................................
……………………………„Your majesty, left flankcomprehensiveapproach!” The Tolmidesloudbiographyanswered the news that the mounted scoutreturned.
“陛下,左翼已经全面接敌!”托尔米德大声的传答侦骑回报的消息。Davosnods, hiseyehas actually been gazing at the front. At this timehepointed atarmy of distant placeenemy side, sneeredseveral, said: „The approaching speed of Syracusepersonis very slow, it seems likeDionysiuswantsto wait forhisright flankfirstto win!”戴弗斯点点头,他的眼睛却一直在注视着前方。这时他手指远处敌方的军阵,冷笑了几声,说道:“锡拉库扎人的行进速度很慢,看来狄奥尼修斯是想等待他的右翼先去获得胜利!”Tolmidescollectssaying with a smile of interest: „Buthecannot thinkabsolutely, the cavalry who heanticipatesby the marveloustactic that your majestyyouformulatedsurrounding!”托尔米德凑趣的笑道:“可是他万万想不到,他所期待的骑兵已经被陛下你所制定的奇妙战术给困住了!”Davosdoes not have the thoughtsto taunt the enemyat this time, hekept a serious looksaying: „CannotmakeDionysiusextremelyrelaxed! Ordersall troopsto speed up, as soon as possibleapproach!”戴弗斯此时没有心思去嘲讽敌人,他表情严肃的说道:“不能让狄奥尼修斯太过轻松!命令各部队加速前进,尽快接敌!”Tolmideshas not met the commandimmediately, butisreminds: „Your majesty, ifourright flankrate of progressionis too quick, perhapswill arrive at the section that Targines rivercanwade, the enemymaydispatch troopsto crossTargines river, attacksourright flankrear!”托尔米德没有立即接令,而是提醒道:“陛下,如果我们的右翼前进速度过快的话,恐怕会到达塔奇纳迪河可以步涉的河段,敌人就有可能会派兵渡过塔奇纳迪河,攻击我们右翼的侧后!”Davoshad consideredthisissue, herepliesimmediately: „It looks like from the currentsituation, Dionysiusput inenoughmanystrengthsinSyracuseright flank, obviouslyhisattackkeyinourleft flank. Ido not think that Dionysius can also musterenoughmanymilitaryto attackmyright flankrear, I have enoughmanyreserve forcesto deal withhiscircuitouslet alone.”That's true, hasto reassigninDavosbehindfrom the mountain ridgedetectionbrigade1000people that the 2000lightarmor-clad soldiersandIzam of eachregimentlead, total3000peopleas the reserve forces, have not applied.戴弗斯已经考虑过这个问题,他立刻回答:“从目前的局势看来,狄奥尼修斯在锡拉库扎的右翼投入了足够多的力量,可见他的进攻重点在我们的左翼。我不认为狄奥尼修斯还能抽出足够多的兵力来攻击我的右翼侧后,更何况我还有足够多的预备队来应付他的迂回。”确实如此,在戴弗斯身后还有抽调自各个军团的2000名轻甲兵和伊扎姆率领的山岭侦查大队1000人,共计3000人作为预备队,还没有派上用场。„Iunderstood, your majesty.”Tolmidesturns aroundto want.
“我明白了,陛下。”托尔米德转身欲去。„Waits!”Davosalsostopped by calling outhim: „Toldeachlegatus, the lancebrigadehas obtainedunderleadership of Kapusto the advantage of Syracusecavalry, thenlookedtheir!”
“等一等!”戴弗斯又叫住他:“去告诉各个军团长,长矛大队在卡普斯的率领下已经取得了对锡拉库扎骑兵的优势,接下来就看他们的了!”Tolmidessmiled, heunderstands the intention of Davos: Justformedless thantendays of lancebrigadesto obtain the outstandingscore, did otherregimentspossiblyfallonhisbehind?托尔米德笑了,他明白戴弗斯的用意:刚刚组建不到十天的长矛大队都取得了骄人战绩,其他军团又怎么可能落在他的后面?Reallytransmission of order of Davosaftereacharmy, the phalanxrate of progressionis raisedsuddenly, right flank that sixth, the seventhregimentcomposes, center that the fourth, fifthregiment and Bruttiisoldierconstituteinlegatusandunder the inspirationandurging of teamofficers, acceleratesto forward.
果然戴弗斯的命令传达给各个部队之后,方阵的前进速度骤然提升,无论是第六,第七军团组成的右翼,还是第四、第五军团以及布鲁提战士构成的中路都在军团长和队官们的鼓舞和催促下,加速向前。
