“我现在就去通知伊扎姆,恐怕他早就等不及了。”明白了戴弗斯打算的托尔米德骑马奔向侧后方的预备队。....................................

此时得知“骑兵被击退、右翼侧后遭到攻击”的狄奥尼修斯正急得团团转,他没想到他急切的等待右翼大胜的消息,等来的却是这样的一个结果。„YoufoundAstaburuagaGlassimmediately, makinghimgivemeto organize the cavalry, immediatelyattacksTheonianagain, otherwiseheandhisfamily membergoes to the deepprisonto gather!”Dionysiustyrannicalexclaiming.
“你立刻去找到阿斯塔格拉斯,让他将骑兵给我重新组织起来,立刻再去进攻戴奥尼亚人,否则他和他的家人就去冥狱相聚吧!”狄奥尼修斯暴虐的吼道。

传令兵赶紧骑马,赶到后方,去找寻阿斯塔格拉斯。„Sir, Scylletiummessengerurgentincoming telegram!” The aideofficercatches up, lookanxioussaying.
“大人,西里庭信使紧急来报!”侍从官赶过来,神色紧张的说道。„After having anything battleto finish, said,Ido not have the timenow!” The Dionysiusagitatedangerstaredhisoneeyes, frightensshutting up of the aideofficerdreads.
“有什么事会战结束后再说,我现在没有时间!”狄奥尼修斯烦躁的怒瞪了他一眼,吓得侍从官畏惧的闭上了嘴。Whoknewsomemounted scoutsto catch upat this time: „Sir, several thousandTheoniasoldierscrossedTargines river, is circlingto the left flankrear!”
谁知这时又有侦骑赶来:“大人,有几千戴奥尼亚士兵渡过塔奇纳迪河,正在绕向左翼的侧后!”What?! Hearsthisnews, Dionysiusthoroughis hurried.
什么?!听到这个消息,狄奥尼修斯已经彻底慌了。....................................
………………………………„Youweresaidwhatyousawwas the spatialcamp!”Hieloshear the return of mounted scout, someindefiniteandasked
“你是说你看到的是空营!”希洛斯听完侦骑的回报,有些不确定的又问道„Yes, General. Iwith several other mastersunderalreadyapproachesbefore the paling of Syracusebigcamp, has not seeninsidehaswhatsound.”Listens to the words of mounted scoutplatoon leader, Hielosto fall into the thinking: According to the beforehandcombat report, Syracusehas a 70,000-80,000people of army, can't so manysoldiersinbig camp inside, wherethey? The answeris obvious, Davosyour majestycertainhas led the reinforcementsto rush toCrotone! The Syracusepersonis impossibleto give up the bigcamp, returnsScylletium, otherwisehismounted scoutcanseearmy that at this momentDavosyour majestyleads, therefore the biggestpossibilityis the Syracusepersonis engaging in a decisive battlewithTheonia!
“是的,将军。我和其他几名手下已经逼近到锡拉库扎大营的木栅前,也没见到里面有什么动静。”听完侦骑小队长的话,希洛斯陷入思索:据之前的战报,锡拉库扎可是有一支70,000-80,000人的大军,这么多的士兵不在大营里,他们会在哪里?答案明摆着,戴弗斯陛下一定已经率领援军赶到了克罗托内!锡拉库扎人不可能放弃大营,退回西里庭,否则他的侦骑此刻就能见到戴弗斯陛下所率的军队了,因此最大的可能性就是锡拉库扎人正在与戴奥尼亚进行会战!Hadthisastonishinganswer, the Hielosinnermost feelingsjumpedcrazily, hedeeplyinspires, was been tranquilbyoneself, the pondermoment, orderedresolutely: „Orders the armyimmediatelyto stopbuilding the camp, dresses the armor, takes up the shieldlance, falls into column, marchestoCrotone!”
有了这个惊人的答案,希洛斯内心狂跳,他深吸了口气,让自己平静下来,沉思片刻,毅然下令:“命令全军立即停止修筑营地,穿戴好盔甲,拿起盾矛,排成纵队,向克罗托内进军!”AdjutantHugerTushearsthisorder, immediately„”: „Youweresaid that...... the presentmarchestoCrotone?!”Alsoheis no wonder anxious, the Crotonedirectionhas the Syracusearmy, themilitary that Hielosleadsis also daring the island of resistanceto be thorough, once the Syracusearmypressesfromnorth, the Scylletiumgarrison troopsfromsouthone, thisarmymayhavenotfresh.
副官赫格西图斯听到这个命令,当即“啊”了一声:“你是说……现在就向克罗托内进军?!”也难怪他紧张,克罗托内方向可是驻扎着锡拉库扎的大军,希洛斯所率领的这点兵力还敢孤军深入,一旦锡拉库扎大军从北面压过来,西里庭守军从南面一堵,这支部队可就有死无生了。„Icanaffirm that at this timeyour majestyis engaging in a decisive battlewith the Syracuseperson, wemusthurry to helpyour majestywintheseimmediatelyfight that decides the Theonialife and death!”Hieloscategoricalsaying.
“我敢肯定此时陛下正在与锡拉库扎人进行会战,我们必须立刻赶去帮助陛下打赢这一场决定戴奥尼亚生死的战斗!”希洛斯斩钉截铁的说道。HugerTusinCosenza, althoughonlyworked together as colleagues for severalmonthswithHielos, inharmony that quitein the politicstwo peoplecooperate, hefully realized that Hielosworkssteadily, is not a rashperson.
赫格西图斯在科森扎虽然只与希洛斯共事了几个月,在政事上两人合作的比较融洽,他深知希洛斯做事稳重,不是一个莽撞的人。Thistime, Hielosis discharged from the Cosenzachief executive, butDorumtakes over, meanwhileholds a concurrent post of the Bruttiiareawartimegovernor, byunderstanding of Dorum the Bruttiiarea, does not needHugerTus'sassistance, perhapsalsodislikeshimto be in the wayinCosenza, mustknow that initiallyTheoniainitiatedto the Bruttiiareaconquers the source of waris the riot of theirTribe, whoknows that in the Dorumheartcanhave the obstruction. ThereforeHugerTustorecruit the soldier, to manageBruttiisoldierforHielos, requestedtoHielos,finallybecomes the adjutant of thisprovisional unit.
这一次,希洛斯卸任科森扎行政长官,而塞多鲁姆接任,同时还兼任布鲁提地区战时总督,以塞多鲁姆对布鲁提地区的了解,根本不需要赫格西图斯的协助,说不定还嫌他在科森扎碍事,要知道当初戴奥尼亚对布鲁提地区发起征服战争的源头就是他们西伦部落的暴乱,谁知道塞多鲁姆心中会不会有芥蒂。所以赫格西图斯以替希洛斯征召兵员、管理布鲁提战士为由,向希洛斯请求,最终成为了这支临时部队的副官。NowsinceHieloshas made the sanejudgment, HugerTuscandoisobeysandcomforts the Bruttiisoldiers.
现在希洛斯既然已经做出了理智的判断,赫格西图斯能做的就是服从和安抚布鲁提战士们。
After transmission of ordershortly, has caught upin a hurrywithTerinaseriesarmygeneralBrommaRuss of thisarmymeeting, laterwas also convincedby the Hieloswords: „Ifthisbattlewins, the Terinacitywill not need the storm, will return to ourhandswith ease. Ifbattlefailure, even ifwerecaptureTerinatoday, tomorrowwill still be seizedagainby the Syracusearmy, moreoverentireMagna Graeciawill be in dangerin!”
命令传达下去之后没多久,已经与这支部队会合的特里纳统军将军布洛马拉斯匆匆赶来,随后也被希洛斯的话所说服:“如果这场会战胜利,特里纳城将不需要强攻,就会轻松的回到我们手中。而如果会战失败,就算我们今天夺回了特里纳,明天也会被锡拉库扎的大军再夺回去,而且整个大希腊都将陷入危险之中!”.......................................

After the battlecontinued for twohours, a Syracuseside can also basicallymaintainbeyond the power balancebesidescenter, the left and rightare in the difficult position: Rightright flankReinforcementsunder the lancebrigade and converging attack of Koethe, the lossis serious, if not the lancebrigadeandKoetheAllied armiessoldierslacks the coordination, for a whilemingles, is unable smoothlyto launch, butSyracuseright flankis thickenough, someexperiencedsoldiersbranch outon own initiativefromitscentral and leftrear area, prevents the lancebrigade'sfurtherattacktowest, perhapsright flankalreadyrout;
会战持续了两个小时之后,锡拉库扎一方除了中路还能基本保持均势外,左右两翼都处于困境之中:右翼右端在长矛大队和克特援军的夹击之下,损失惨重,如果不是长矛大队和克特联军士兵缺乏配合,一时搅在一起,无法顺利展开,而锡拉库扎右翼足够厚实,部分经验丰富的士兵们主动从其中部、左端的后方分出出来,阻挡长矛大队向西的进一步进攻,恐怕右翼已经溃败了;Howeverinleft flank, itssoldierfar inferiorright flankelite, caninencountering the flankattackedsituation can also maintain the morale, although the attack of lightarmor-clad soldierwas far less than that lancephalanxis so powerful, however the military reform of Dionysiusjuststarted, the bigphalanxdrawbackhas not fully attached great importance, once the battlestarts, not only the underlying bedteamofficers, high-levelgeneralhad even lost the controlto the army, let alone the militaryconstitution of left flankis more complex, oncebehind the sidewere attacked, is unable to conduct the effectivedirectionpromptly, causessoldierunifiedabout face of rear rank, toobstructenemy, therefore the arraystartsto have the confusion.
但是在左翼,其士兵远不及右翼精锐,能够在遭遇侧翼被攻击的情况下还能维持住士气,虽然轻甲兵的攻击远不如长矛方阵那么有力,但是狄奥尼修斯的军事改革才刚刚开始,大方阵的弊端并没有得到充分重视,一旦会战开始,不但中低层队官、甚至高级将领就已经失去了对部队的控制,更何况左翼的兵力构成复杂,一旦侧后方遭到攻击,无法及时进行有效的指挥,使后列的士兵统一的向后转向,以阻截敌人,因此阵列开始出现混乱。OriginallysoldiermanyDionysius are can definitely not letthissituationemergence, what a pityhewas fetteredby the Greekmilitary tradition, withoutretainingreserve forces'consciousness, is thinkingmustroutTheonia, to achieve the battlesuccessat one fell swoop, from the beginningpressed the military in handcompletely, nowwantsto go tobig camp insideto mobilize soldiers, resistsattackedleft flankthatTheoniaarmyin the timealreadywithout enough time.
本来兵多的狄奥尼修斯是完全可以不让这种情况出现的,可惜他还是被希腊军事传统所束缚,没有保留预备队的意识,又想着要一举击溃戴奥尼亚、获得会战胜利,一开始就将手中的兵力全部压了上去,现在想要去大营里调兵,来抵挡攻击左翼的那支戴奥尼亚军队在时间上已经来不及了。
The confusion of behind the left flankleftsidehavinginfectsto the soldier of front rowcombatquickly, theseMagna Graeciasoldiers the fighting spiritwas not high, the war cry that was covered the ear that juststartedto hear rear area by the almostairtighthelmetindistinctlyhears, was getting more and more loudtothissoundafterward, and when the supportstrength of the rear areatransmittingis weakenandevenvanishes, at heartstartsto feel nervous, in addition the viciousattack of oppositeenemy, frightenedwas occupying the whole bodyinstantaneously, urgingthemto be reckless, will turn aroundto escapein the future, will not hesitateto overthrow the rearteammate, when twoandthreesoldierswill escapeone after another, the panicwill be the same onlikely the plague. Quicklydisseminates...... quick, entireleft flanktoall aroundon the support, startedto retreat.左翼左端侧后方出现的混乱很快就感染到前列作战的士兵,这些大希腊的士兵本就斗志不高,被几乎密闭的头盔笼罩的耳朵刚开始还是隐约听到后方传来的喊杀声,到后来这种声音越来越大,并且从后方传来的支持力量减弱、甚至消失时,心里就开始发慌,再加上对面敌人的凶狠进攻,恐惧就在瞬间占据了全身,促使他们不顾一切,转身往后逃,甚至不惜推倒后方的队友,等一个、两个、三个士兵相继逃跑时,恐慌就会像瘟疫一样迅速向四周传播……很快,整个左翼就支持不住,开始溃退了。Whenthisnewsfeeds inurgentlytoDionysius, healreadylookgreydefeat: Regardingthisbattle, heis helpless, convoy guardhas sentto aidleft flank before, but...... thisgambledheto lose, lost tothathimnot onlyattached great importance, Theonianewking who anddespised......
当这一消息紧急传回给狄奥尼修斯时,他已经神色灰败:对于这场会战,他已经无能为力,就连身边的护卫队已经在之前派出去援助左翼了,可是……这场豪赌他已经输了,输给了那个他既重视、又鄙夷的戴奥尼亚新国王……Althoughthere is unwilling, Dionysiusknowsoneselfmustacknowledgethisfact, moreovermustrapidlymake the decision.
尽管有多么的不甘心,狄奥尼修斯知道自己必须承认这个事实,而且还必须迅速作出决定。„...... Retreatsdifficultly......”hisputs outthiswordfrom the mouth, thenimmediatelypullhorsewalkson the round trip.
“……撤退……”他困难的从嘴里吐出这个词,然后立刻拔马就往回走。Luckilyaideofficersidehim, perhapsotherwisecould not hear clearlyhimto sayanything.
幸亏侍从官就在他身旁,否则恐怕听不清他在说什么。„Sir, this......”aideofficeris also unwilling, but alsohasseveralpointsto hope, thereforeinstinctwantsto persuadeone.
“大人,这……”侍从官同样也不甘心,还有着几分期盼,因此本能的想劝说一句。If before, somepeopledaresto question that hisdecision, Dionysiusdid not reprove, was the secret marksin the heart, bided one's time for punishment, at this timehedid not havethisthoughts, at heartthoughthowto reduce the loss of Syracusearmyafter the battlefailureas far as possible, because the left flankrout may causeTheonianto blockTargines river, to interrupt the return avenue of Syracusearmy, mustletas soon as possible the armywithdrew the Targines riverwest bankcamp( before , totempt the Theoniaarmycrosses river, hehas ordered the Targines rivereast bankandcampdemolitioninCrotonecore region).
如果是在以前,有人敢质疑他的决定,狄奥尼修斯不是训斥,就是暗记在心,秋后算账,这时他却没有这个心思,心里想的就是如何在会战失败后尽量减少锡拉库扎军队的损失,因为左翼的溃败可能会导致戴奥尼亚人封锁塔奇纳迪河、截断锡拉库扎大军的归路,必须尽快让军队撤回塔奇纳迪河西岸的营地(之前为了引诱戴奥尼亚大军过河,他已经下令将塔奇纳迪河东岸、在克罗托内核心区域的营地拆除)。
When dozensdivisiontrumpeterssound the bugle that retreats, Dionysiussaidto the aideofficeragain: „Sends peopleto hurry back to the camp, informingArtMeese( campgarrison troopscommanders) to branch out the army, aidsusto return to the campto the campeast!”
几十名司号兵吹响撤退的军号时,狄奥尼修斯再次对侍从官说道:“派人赶回营地,通知阿尔特米斯(营地守军指挥官)分出部队,到营地东面接应我们回营!”„Yes, Sir!” The aideofficerremembers the incidentsuddenly, remindedhim saying: „BeforeScylletiumsent the messengerincoming telegram, Theoniato have5,000-6,000soldiersto landinFimijaplain, preparesto attackTerina.”
“是,大人!”侍从官突然想起一事,提醒他说:“之前西里庭派信使来报,戴奥尼亚有5,000-6,000士兵在欧菲米亚平原登陆,准备进攻特里纳。”
The Dionysiushear, flies into a rage: „Howsuchimportantmatter didn't yousayearly?!!”狄奥尼修斯听完,勃然大怒:“这么重要的事你怎么不早说?!!”In the aideofficerheartputs in great inconvenience, actuallydoes not dareto argue.
侍从官心中委屈,却不敢争辩。Dionysiusalsoplannedfirstto return the campto defend, nowlooks like, returningScylletiumissafest......
原本狄奥尼修斯还打算先退回营地防御,现在看来,退回西里庭才是最安全的…….................................

在锡拉库扎右翼中路前列的菲比达斯即使从小就经受严格的军事训练,现在经历了两个小时的不停战斗,他已经有些疲惫了。但是当面的敌人,即使是被他刺倒好几个之后,仍然有新的敌人冲上来,勇敢的和他厮杀,迫使他不得不拿出浑身解数,小心应付。In fact, hehad felt that oneselfattack planhas problems, becausearoundlook, to the presentTheonialeft flankarrayface to facenot onlydoes not have the rout, but also the attackis getting more and more fierce, buthisbehindthrust forceis getting more and more weak.

事实上,他已经感到自己的进攻计划出了问题,因为看看周围,到现在当面的戴奥尼亚左翼阵列不但没有溃败,而且进攻却越来越凶猛,而他身后的推力却越来越弱。他能隐约听到后方传来的喊杀声,虽然心中万分焦虑,手上却不敢有丝毫的分神。
