If before, Dionysius will not care to such retreat, because in this battle key of Syracuse victory when right flank, center and left flank, so long as can divert opposite enemy, in the enemy attacks maintains the power balance, remaining is waits for the right flank victory the news. 要是在之前,狄奥尼修斯对这样的后退并不会太在意,因为这场会战中锡拉库扎胜利的关键在右翼,中路和左翼只要能够牵制住对面的敌人,在敌人进攻时保持住均势,剩下的就是等待右翼胜利的消息。 When Dionysius from the mounted scout mouth knew that „Syracuse biggest advantage- when cavalry encounters the ambush of Theonian, was blocked temporarily” the news, the relaxed mood quickly changes anxiously, to the unceasing retreat of left flank and center becomes was also worried very much. He not only makes the division trumpeters sound the charge behind phalanx the command, but after also lets the messenger, yells loudly, warned: The team officers and soldiers can not retrocede again, must attack! 但是当狄奥尼修斯从侦骑口中得知“锡拉库扎最大的优势-骑兵遭到戴奥尼亚人的埋伏、暂时被挡住”的消息时,原本轻松的心情很快变得焦躁,对左翼和中路的不断后退也变得担心起来。他不但让司号兵在方阵后面吹响冲锋的号令,而且让传令兵到阵后大声叫喊,警告:队官和士兵们不得再后退,必须进攻！ After these acts, the center rear Syracuse citizen soldier no longer retrocedes, the Campania mercenary but who forces the front row has to with compelling the enemy launches intense battle ; But as for the left flank soldiers were only the speed of retreat reduced speed slightly, it seems like it is really at a disadvantage in the resistance. 这一番施为之后,中路后方的锡拉库扎公民兵不再后退,而是逼迫前列的坎帕尼亚雇佣兵不得不与逼上来的敌人展开激烈的厮杀;而至于左翼的士兵们只是后退的速度稍微减慢了一些,看来是真的在对抗中处于了下风。 Dionysius is somewhat angry: Before arranging formation, he had understood through the mounted scout Theonia right flank, that obviously is not the Theonia principal force . Moreover the population should only meet own left flank person to be few, but why can the result actually be this? These big haven't Greeks fought with all might earnestly? Colludes with the enemy?...... 狄奥尼修斯有些恼怒:在布置阵型之前,他通过侦骑了解过戴奥尼亚的右翼,那明显不是戴奥尼亚的主力部队,而且人数应该只会比自己的左翼人少,但为什么结果却会是这样？难道那些大希腊人根本就没有认真拼杀？或者与敌人有勾结？…… The Dionysius morbidly suspicious mind violated, he even started to suspect oneself ally Locri, but he also knows: Now does not worry about this time, deceitful Davos makes his cavalry be bogged down in difficulties, now he can only expect right flank that Pharacidas leads can rout the enemy face to face rapidly, ensures the victory for the entire battle! 狄奥尼修斯的疑心病又犯了,他甚至开始怀疑起了自己的盟友洛克里,但他也知道:现在不是操心这个的时候,狡诈的戴弗斯让他的骑兵陷入困境,现在他只能期待菲比达斯率领的右翼能迅速击溃当面之敌,为整场会战奠定胜局！ Dionysius also has the confidence to the battle, that is because compares several other unsatisfactory performance, the right flank present performance conforms to his pre-war anticipation. 狄奥尼修斯之所以还对会战抱有信心,那是因为相比较其他几处不佳的表现,右翼现在的表现符合他战前的预期。 Huge thick phalanx that 25000 people form is squeezing Theonia left flank, stemming from the vigilance of Theonian personal close combat, around the Syracuse crack troops row is closer, formed spear/gun is also more crowded, causes to slaughter in the Theonia left flank soldiers of most front row, not only need avoid the attack of front row Syracuse soldier, but must be vigilant that his rear area soldier punctures the stamp of spear/gun to strike, they must resist the Syracuse person let alone with effort forward greatly pushes the strength, might big weakening that therefore the near body of Theonia heavy infantry slaughters. 25000人形成的巨大厚实的方阵紧压着戴奥尼亚的左翼,出于对戴奥尼亚人贴身近战的警惕,锡拉库扎的精兵们前后列更加紧密,形成的枪阵也更加密集,使得厮杀在最前列的戴奥尼亚左翼士兵们不但要躲避前列锡拉库扎士兵的攻击,还要警惕其后方士兵刺枪的戳击,更何况他们还要费力的抵挡锡拉库扎人向前的巨大推挤力量,因此戴奥尼亚重步兵的近身厮杀的威力大大的减弱。 However the soldiers of first, second regiment have fought many battles, because although the tremendous pressure that because the enemy face to face gives feels some intense, because before the battle, the team officers had roughly understood the tactical arrangement of king Davos, therefore they understand in these circumstances they must first do is guaranteed the array will not be defeated by the enemy, pins down the enemy, the arrival of waiting reinforcements. 不过第一、第二军团的士兵都是身经百战,他们虽然因为因为当面之敌所给予的巨大压力而感到一些紧张,但因为在会战前,队官们都已经大致了解了国王戴弗斯的战术布置,因此他们明白在这样的情况下他们首先要做的就是保证阵列不会被敌人击破,拖住敌人,等待援军的到来。 Therefore, the Theonia soldiers taking advantage of lineup the elasticity based on division, ease the tremendous pressure that the enemy attacks to have by the ordered retreat, simultaneously aims at the opportunity, stabs the enemy with the long shield shield and with the short-sword. 为此,戴奥尼亚士兵们借着以分队为基础的阵形的弹性,以有序的后退来缓解敌人进攻所产生的巨大压力,同时瞅准机会,用长盾掩护、用短剑刺伤敌人。 Pharacidas nearly twice by severe wound: After the charge, just hit with the enemy for the first time when the same place, shield balance, person and person is away from the shield to paste in the same place, in his vision, the long shield protects completely opposite enemy, therefore he withstands the round shield to advance full power, wants to hit the defense of enemy, lets puncture the spear/gun display might. Does not want to bury above the enemy right hand shield in long shield to the end finds out suddenly from a long-range point of view, the short-sword punctures like lightning, is gripping on his Corinth helmet, touches receives, immediately makes him feel a dizziness. 菲比达斯就险些两次被重伤:第一次是在冲锋之后,刚与敌人撞在一起时,盾盾相抵、人与人隔着盾牌贴在一起,在他的目光中,长盾将对面敌人完全护住,于是他全力顶住圆盾向前推,想撞开敌人的防御,让刺枪发挥威力。没想到头埋在长盾里的敌人右手突然从长盾上方探出,短剑闪电般的刺下,正扎在他的科林斯头盔上,一触即收,顿时让他感到一阵晕眩。 After the second time is he enemy face to face will puncture upside-down, instinct according to the beforehand operational custom, crushes into to phalanx row of gaps, has not waited for him to adopt the next step action, the short-sword that two cold light sparkle one on the left and other on the right punctures simultaneously to his two ribs, he responded, although quick, was cut his flax breastplate by the sharp short-sword, shears an opening on the right waist. 第二次是他将当面之敌刺倒之后,本能的按照以前的作战习惯,挤进对方阵列的缺口,还未等他采取下一步的举动,一左一右两柄寒光闪闪的短剑同时向他的两肋刺来,他反应虽快,还是被锋利的短剑划破了他的亚麻胸甲,在右腰上割出一条口子。 This injury makes him realize time finally fierce of opponent, no longer easily braves hardships and dangers, but maintains the consistent formation with the Syracuse soldier in surroundings. 这一次的受伤让他终于意识到对手的厉害,不再轻易涉险,而是与周围的锡拉库扎士兵保持一致的阵型。 Compares the defending counter-attack of Theonia first, second regiment, the most left Koethe Reinforcements soldiers are much stronger. Although their phalanx are less than the Syracuse person to be thick, is actually refuting the extrusion of Syracuse person, easily does not draw back, the hatred made them glow the huge courage and strength, even if carried the severe wound, so long as can also stand, their thorn spears/guns will not stop the stamp striking. Even drops down, so long as can also the strength, they hug the foot that bridges over their enemies, making him throw down, or tears and bites with the tooth. So frigid performs before Koethe Reinforcements repeatedly, enables to have the Syracuse person with large army to be somewhat frightened unexpectedly, felt the opponent ratio of falling to the ground is standing also fearful, after must confirm repeatedly the opposite party died, dares to go forward, this caused their advancement speeds compared with the companion quickly many. 相比较戴奥尼亚第一、第二军团的稳守反击,最左端的克特援军士兵则强硬得多。他们的方阵虽然不及锡拉库扎人厚实,却硬顶着锡拉库扎人的挤压,轻易不退,仇恨让他们焕发出了巨大的勇气和力量,哪怕身负重伤,只要还能站立,他们的刺枪就不会停止戳击。即使是倒下,只要还能有一丝力气,他们会抱着跨过他们的敌人的脚,让其摔倒,或者用牙齿撕咬。如此惨烈的一幕在克特援军阵前多次上演,竟使得拥有重兵的锡拉库扎人有些惶然,感觉倒地的对手比站立着的还可怕,要反复证实对方死亡之后才敢前进,这使得他们的推进速度比同伴快不了多少。 ....................................... ………………………………… In the rear area of this battlefield is another battlefield, the Theonia light infantry after withdrawing from the main battlefield, under the leadership of Cid and Arpenst, rushes to left flank, wants to participate to encircling of enemy cavalry, actually encounters to hug the Syracuse light infantry of similar goal, has to the light infantry before big continue to carry through to the end to the war the former. 在这一块战场的后方是另一个战场,戴奥尼亚的轻步兵在撤出主战场之后,就在茨皮特和阿尔普恩斯的带领下,匆匆赶往左翼,想要参与对敌人骑兵的围剿,却遭遇到抱着同样目的的锡拉库萨轻步兵,不得不将之前在大阵前的轻步兵对战继续进行到底。 Branch of the services of both sides are mainly the archer and javelin soldier, moreover Theonia were many some stone soldiers. both sides are adopt the loose formation, the javelin soldier before, the archer, launches the long-distance attack. Although the fight does not have the heavy infantry to slaughter such vast momentum, but its frigid degree is not low, because oneself protect the reason of far inferior heavy infantry, in battlefield that in inundating the Tien Chien arrow and javelin dances in the air, both sides have the soldier injured to fall to the ground unceasingly. 双方的兵种主要都是弓箭手、标枪兵,另外戴奥尼亚多了一些投石兵。双方都是采取松散的阵型,标枪兵在前,弓箭手在后,进行远程的攻击。虽然战斗没有重步兵厮杀那样声势浩大,但其惨烈程度却不低,因为自身防护远不及重步兵的缘故,在漫天箭矢、标枪飞舞的战场上,双方不断有士兵受伤倒地。 The Theonia light infantry is well-trained, the tactical coordination is more tacit ; Syracuse light infantries are many, obtains the severity of Dionysius, suddenly both armies are close. 戴奥尼亚轻步兵训练有素,战术配合更加默契;锡拉库扎轻步兵人数较多,又得到狄奥尼修斯的严厉,一时间两军难分胜负。 ....................................... ………………………………… Naturally, what the fight is most frigid is the battlefield of east. 当然,战斗最惨烈的还是最东边的这一块战场。 Was clamped the Celtic cavalry, is unable to be separated from the middle saw that was stabbed the warhorse and clansman who drops down, is listening to calling out in grief and companion's of warhorse pitiful yell and facing the long spear/gun array that forces unceasingly, most they do not dare to ride again are sitting waiting for death immediately, is forced to jump down the warhorse, grasps the big sword, stops the body fight. 被夹在中间、根本无法脱离的凯尔特骑兵看到一个个被刺中倒下的战马和族人、听着战马的悲鸣和同伴的惨叫、面对不断逼迫的长枪阵列,大多数的他们也不敢再骑在马上坐以待毙,纷纷被迫跳下战马,手持大剑,停身战斗。 But this without doubt is a throw straw against the wind. First did not say their big swords when upfront resistance lance phalanx, very difficult close to enemy, moreover under hasty accepting a challenge, they often independent combat, quick was killed under jabbing of lance. 但这无疑是螳臂挡车。先不说他们的大剑在正面对抗长矛方阵时,很难靠近敌人,而且在仓促的应战之下,他们往往都是单打独斗,很快就丧命于长矛的戳刺之下。 Like the strong Celtic soldier in tower Pirus front, he angrily roars, while brandishes the big sword unceasingly, although cuts off the spear heads of two lances one after another, but by an intensive spear/gun forcing repetitive retreat, the under foot was slipped incautiously, shows a flaw, the lance took advantage that the crack searches into, injures his thigh. In instance that his instinct bends the waist, three lances stab simultaneously his head and chest, dies again cannot die. 就像在塔皮鲁斯前方的这名强壮的凯尔特战士一样,他一边怒吼,一边不断挥舞大剑,虽然接连砍断两根长矛的枪头,但还是被密集的枪阵逼迫的连连后退,一不小心脚下打滑,露出一丝破绽,长矛就趁隙探入,扎伤他的大腿。在他本能弯腰的瞬间,又有三支长矛同时刺中他的头部和胸膛,死得不能再死。 Kills the enemy unceasingly, makes the soldiers confidence of lance brigade rise unceasingly, the speed of advance increases quickly. 不断的杀伤敌人,也让长矛大队的士兵们信心不断上涨,前进的速度增快。 Leads the regiment not to encounter the big hindrance in tower Pirus of front row, the advance speed is faster, staggered the big distance with the neighboring regiment. 在前列的塔皮鲁斯所率连队没遇到大的阻碍,突进速度更快,与邻近连队错开了较大的距离。 At this time, in the disorderly battlefield a Celtic soldier broke in suddenly from one side, the entire regiment was unexpected, was cut and injured several soldiers by him unexpectedly continually. 这时,凌乱的战场上一名凯尔特战士突然从侧面冲入阵中,整个连队猝不及防,竟然被他一连砍伤好几个士兵。 The followed up light armor-clad soldier goes forward to block him promptly, but this Celtic soldier does not attend to falling into the tight encirclement, a sword furiously butchers two halves the skin shield of light armor-clad soldier, 45 peltasts surround him, solves him, for this reason also pays the prices of severely wounded two light armor-clad soldiers. 跟进的轻甲兵及时的上前挡住他,而这名凯尔特战士不顾身陷重围,奋力的一剑将轻甲兵的皮盾宰成两半,四五名轻盾兵围住他,才将他解决掉,为此也付出重伤两名轻甲兵的代价。 This sounded an alarm to tower Pirus, he has to great shout, making the soldiers of regiment do not march forward is too quick, waits for the neighboring regiment. 这给塔皮鲁斯敲了一个警钟,他不得不大声呼喊,让连队的士兵们不要行进太快,等一等相邻的连队。 Although the Celtic cavalry is aggressive, but in this crowded battlefield, upfront resistance crowded lance phalanx, simply does not have the odds of success. Their population were not in addition many, from the beginning many cavalries hit the lance wall directly, therefore they continues in tower Pirus forward shortly , the discovery keeps off in the front enemy is tall is no longer strong and wears the thick stripe cotton garment, to wear the apex helmet, to grasp Celts of big sword, but has hair dishevelled dark-skinned , build lanky, wears the unpadded garment and Nummi Biya person of hand-held javelin lance, their fight courage missed much compared with Celts, besides the small number of people to their javelin throw, majority jumped down the smooth horseback rapidly, turned around to drill into the chaotic battlefield, escaped...... 凯尔特骑兵虽然凶悍,但在这拥挤的战场,正面对抗密集的长矛方阵,根本没有胜算。再加上他们的人数本就不多,一开始又有不少骑兵是直接撞上了矛墙,所以在塔皮鲁斯他们继续向前没多久,就发现挡在前面的敌人不再是身材高大强壮、身穿厚实条纹布衣、戴尖顶头盔、手持大剑的凯尔特人,而是披头散发、皮肤黝黑、体型瘦长、身穿单衣、手持标枪长矛的努米比亚人,他们的战斗勇气比凯尔特人就差了不少,除了少数人向他们投掷标枪外,大多数迅速跳下光溜溜的马背,转身钻入乱糟糟的战场中,逃了…… Kapus does not need to send the scout to reconnoiter, can know that his lance brigade is well underway, because he assumes the rear area, is following phalanx to go forward incessantly. 卡普斯不用派探子侦察,也能知道他的长矛大队进展顺利,因为他坐镇后方,正跟随着方阵在不断前进。 At this time, had the cavalry to spread rapidly: „Around converging attack that the cavalry who General Kapus, Ledes legatus leads encounters the enemy cavalry, hopes that can be reenforced!” 这时,有骑兵急速驰来:“卡普斯将军,莱德斯军团长所率的骑兵遭到敌人骑兵的前后夹击,希望能得到增援！” Originally the speed that 1000 Sicily union cavalries who Astaburuaga Glass leads because go forward is not quick, situated in lineup final, most quick is separated from the crowd chaotic battlefield. 原来阿斯塔格拉斯所率领的一千名西西里同盟骑兵由于前进的速度并不很快,又处于阵形的最后,大多数很快就从拥堵混乱的战场中脱离出来。 According to the truth, the stretch of battlefield of this time does not suit the cavalry to fight in this, but Astaburuaga Glass knows that these alien races hire cavalry soldier's importance to this battle, he cannot drop out them, no matter, otherwise Dionysius could not forgive him. Therefore he spends with all one's heart the strength, after scattering in all directions to escape the Sicily Greece cavalries who dresses ranks, more than 800 cavalries who lead this to call in a hurry kill to this battlefield left side. 按道理,此时的这片战场已经不适合骑兵在此战斗,但是阿斯塔格拉斯知道这些异族雇佣骑兵对这场会战的重要,他不能抛下他们不管,否则狄奥尼修斯饶不了他。因此他费尽心力,将四散逃出的西西里希腊骑兵重新整队之后,就带领着这匆匆召集的800多骑兵重新杀向这块战场的左侧。 But in the left side, Ledes is leading the half of cavalries of cavalry corps to block escaping that the enemy rides, and goes all out it toward the central extrusion. 而在左侧,莱德斯正带领骑兵军团的一半骑兵正阻击敌骑的外逃,并拼命将其往中央挤压。 From the beginning hires the attack of cavalry is quite violent, particularly Celts caused some casualties to the Theonia cavalry, but with the advancement of lance phalanx, Celts is wounded seriously, but the Nummi Biya cavalry soldier's javelin throw superb skill on equestrian skill , but once lost these two advantages, but rides in immediately the short distance slaughters with the opponent, does not have any protection . Moreover the horseback is also smooth they at all is not the opponent of Theonia cavalry. 一开始雇佣骑兵的进攻还比较猛烈,尤其是凯尔特人给戴奥尼亚骑兵造成了一些伤亡,但随着长矛方阵的推进,凯尔特人受创严重,而努米比亚骑兵在骑术上和投掷标枪上技艺高超,可一旦失去了这两种优势,只是骑在马上近距离的与对手厮杀,没有任何防护、而且马背也是光溜溜的他们根本不是戴奥尼亚骑兵的对手。 Nummi Biya person somewhat could not resist, some cavalries start then to escape, wants to crush into the chaotic center, then retreats from the rear area. 努米比亚人有些抵挡不住了,一些骑兵开始转而逃跑,想挤进混乱的中央,然后从后方撤退。 Astaburuaga Glass's cavalry raids suddenly, moreover their main direction of attack Ledes is, because he stands tall and erect, the top crown helmet of purplish red interaction was too noticeable, if not the guards resists at risk of life, Ledes first will carry the severe wound. 阿斯塔格拉斯的骑兵突然袭来,而且他们的主要攻击方向正是莱德斯所在,因为他高耸的、紫红相间的顶冠头盔太引人注目了,如果不是护卫们拼死抵挡,莱德斯第一时间就会身负重伤。
