„Army formation!” The team officers shouted loudly. “全军列阵！”队官们高喊。 The soldiers in river hurry toward the retroversion, but also was nearly washed away by the water current. 河中的士兵慌忙往回退,还险些被水流冲走。 „River bottom has many big and round stones, very slippery difficult to walk!” After the soldiers come ashore, reported to say to the leaders. “河底有很多大而圆的石头,很滑不好走！”士兵上岸后,向首领们汇报说。 „It seems like, has in the Persians situation in the opposite, we are very difficult to cross river from here!” Timasion helpless saying, other leaders also agreed. They closely are gazing at the opposite shore: Persians had stopped the advance, is abutting the river bank, their queue size about one li (0.5 km) many, seem like more than 20,000 people. “看来,在对面有波斯人的情况下,我们是很难从这里过河的！”提马宋无奈的说道,其他首领也表示认同。他们紧紧注视着对岸:波斯人已经停止了前进,紧靠着河岸,他们的队列长度约有一里多,看起来不下两万人。 „Is the Orontes army!” Kerry Hanno somewhat surprised saying. “是奥戎塔斯的部队！”克里安诺有些吃惊的说道。 Xenophon somewhat regrettable saying: „It seems like he snatched in front of us.” 色诺芬有些遗憾的说道:“看来他抢到了我们前面。” Xanticles astonished is pointing at the opposite shore, called out: „Looked quickly, he also recruited many natives of Kardhan!” 赞提帕里斯惊异的指着对岸,叫道:“快看,他还招募了不少卡尔丹人！” Natives of Kardhan? Davos did not understand, turning head of doubts looks at Philesius. 卡尔丹人？戴弗斯对此并不了解,疑惑的扭头看斐利修斯。 „A native of Kardhan is clans and tribes living in Armenia, heard that they fierce combative, Persians likes recruiting them to act as the heavy infantry.” Philesius explained that while finger opposite shore: „Look, that is!” “卡尔丹人是居住在亚美尼亚的部族,听说他们勇猛好斗,波斯人喜欢招募他们充当重步兵。”斐利修斯一边解释,一边手指对岸:“瞧,那就是！” Following the direction that he points, Davos saw that center Persians army has wears skin Kui, to wear the fur lined robe, to grasp the long shield, to grasp a native of Kardhan of lance to stand in most front row. 顺着他手指的方向,戴弗斯看到波斯人军阵正中有一些头戴皮盔、身穿皮袍、一手持长盾、一手持长矛的卡尔丹人正站在最前列。 „Orontes seems like does everything possible to prevent us, what a pity a native of Kardhan is not our opponents!” Timasion unwilling saying. “奥戎塔斯看来是想尽办法想要阻止我们,可惜卡尔丹人不是我们的对手！”提马宋不甘的说道。 „Had this river, all said difficultly.” Xanticles slightly pessimistic saying. “可是有了这条河,一切就难说了。”赞提帕里斯略显悲观的说道。 „The place that makes the soldiers first pitch camp to rest, sends for investigates this river to have well can on foot cross river.” Guest Lysippos look tranquil saying. “让士兵们先扎营休息,派人探查这条河有没有更好的可以徒步过河的地方。”客里索普斯神色平静的说道。 The transmission of order, the army withdraws to starts the tree camp from Kent Rietrivier less than one li (0.5 km) place. 命令传达下去,部队后撤至距离肯特里特河不到一里的地方开始树营。 Shortly , the Ledes belt/bring comes back a news: The river bank has not discovered the Persians whereabouts, but discovered in not the far mountain forest some Carduchians spy on to them. This makes the leaders frown. 没多久,莱德斯带回来一个消息:河岸这边没发现波斯人的行踪,可是在不远的山林里发现了一些杜客亚人向他们窥探。这让首领们皱起了眉头。 „Goes to call Izam.” Guest Lysippos said. “去把伊扎姆叫来。”客里索普斯说道。 Izam is initially that son who Szo Conteh Tribe big leader Kang Moluo sent to work as the guide. In 20 day that finally is constantly together with Greeks, this young people in full vigour produced the intense curiosity to remote Greece, does not want to return to close Shanzhaili again, wants going out wanderer, after obtaining Kang Moluo agreement, the mercenaries accepted him. 伊扎姆是当初克索康特部落大首领康摩洛派来当向导的那个儿子。结果在同希腊人朝夕相处的二十天里,这个精力旺盛的年轻人对遥远的希腊产生了强烈的好奇,不想再回到封闭的山寨里,想出去闯荡一番,在得到康摩洛的同意后,雇佣军就收下了他。 After Izam obtains the news, first stares, immediately pledged: These Carduchians possibly are not Szo Conteh Tribe sends. And volunteers to investigate. 伊扎姆得到消息后,先是一愣,随即发誓:那些杜客亚人决不可能是克索康特部落派出来的。并自告奋勇要去探查。 After obtaining the agreement of leaders, Ledes led him. After a half hour, he came back to report saying: These people join up on own initiative the person of that several tribe attacks the Greek mercenaries in the mountainous area, including several people he have also seen. 得到首领们的同意后,莱德斯带着他去了。半个小时后,他回来汇报说:那些人是在山区里联合起来主动进攻希腊雇佣军的那几个部落的人,其中有几个人他还见过。 After Izam goes out, Xenophon relaxes, said: „I said that before Kang Moluo, with good that very we cooperate, how possibly just to bid good-bye, started to have our ideas.” 等伊扎姆出去后,色诺芬松了口气,说:“我就说嘛,康摩洛之前和我们合作的很好,怎么可能刚分了手,就开始打我们的主意了。” Kerry Hanno snort/hum: „Regarding this Carduchians words, you leaves readily believes. How you know the son who this Kang Moluo hasn't told the lie?! Who Kang Moluo is, we have experienced, went to war each time, must and we argues for quite a while on the ownership of spoils of war, earthenware jar does not let off. Such a greedy person, sees us to with Persians go to war now, how possibly to let up the good opportunity of picking up a bargain!” 克里安诺哼了一声:“对于这个杜客亚人的话,你别太轻信。你怎么知道这个康摩洛的儿子没有说假话？！康摩洛是什么人,我们都见识过,每次打完仗,都要就战利品的归属和我们争论半天,连一个瓦罐儿都不放过。这样一个贪婪的人,现在见我们又要跟波斯人打仗啦,怎么可能放过捡便宜的好机会！” „Let alone the treaty of alliance has expired now, has not restrained to him!” The Timasion digression said. “何况现在盟约已经失效,对他没有约束了！”提马宋插话道。 „His son in our hands!” The Xenophon reminder said. “他儿子在我们手中！”色诺芬提醒道。 „Heard that he has more than ten sons, dies also no at the worst. Moreover who knows that Kang Moluo had the idea early, making him be the planted agent?!” Kerry Hanno refuted. “听说他有十几个儿子,死一个也没什么大不了的。而且谁知道康摩洛是不是早打好了主意,让他来做内应？！”克里安诺反驳道。 Sits Davos in corner looks that atmosphere some in tent/account are not right. Xenophon is a thought active and person in full vigour, recently with him familiar with mercenaries business, performance active. In some leader eyes thought that he is high-profile, often will find the opportunity to strike him. Davos once urged him to restrain some, his reply is: „I have not made the any mistake, Hades makes me come here, does not make me flatter somebody, the life that but to save more than 10,000 Greek brothers, contributes own strength!” 坐在角落里的戴弗斯看着帐内的气氛有些不对。色诺芬本是一个思维活跃、精力旺盛的人,最近随着他对雇佣军事务的熟悉,表现就更加的活跃。在一些首领眼中就觉得他过于张扬,不时会找机会敲打他。戴弗斯曾劝他收敛一些,他的回答是:“我并没有做错什么,哈迪斯让我来到这里,并不是让我来讨好某人,而是为拯救这一万多希腊兄弟的生命,贡献自己的力量！” Comparatively speaking, younger Davos was instead steadier, after becoming the leader, except for this/should performance time displayed diligently, won the respect and prestige for oneself, he was very usually reserved, discussed when matter also many listened attentively, because he knows that these leaders' wanderer many years in battlefield, the experience was rich, being worth him studying. 相比较而言,更年轻的戴弗斯反而稳重多了,当上首领后,除了该表现的时候努力表现,为自己赢得了尊重和威望,平时他就很内敛,商议事情时也多是倾听,因为他知道这几位首领在战场上闯荡多年,经验丰富,值得他去学习和思考。 „We know that Kang Moluo is an ambitious smart person, the smart person understood when should do the matter. The matter that now Szo Conteh Tribe most should do is the rapid annexation and digests that four tribes, making them integrate in his tribe, can really become his strength. Therefore just went out of the mountainous area, he hasty bid good-bye with us. I think that he will not provoke us in unstable situation, he is knows our military forces powerful, especially around him also many enemies.” Saying of Davos warm word song, Xenophon relates well with him, in public must break through for him in private him. “我们都知道康摩洛是个有野心的聪明人,聪明人懂得什么时候该干什么事儿。现在克索康特部落最应该做的事就是迅速的吞并和消化那四个部落,让他们融入到他的部落中,才能实实在在的变成他的力量。所以刚走出山区,他就急冲冲的和我们分手了。我想他不会在内部还不稳定的情况下来招惹我们,他是知道我们的武力有多强大,尤其他周围还有不少敌人。”戴弗斯温言细语的说道,色诺芬跟他关系不错,于公于私他都要替他解围。 „Said, spies on our Carduchia mountain people like, by the person of that several tribe we who that boy said defeated. They do not go to attack and capture Szo Conteh Tribe, actually dares to annoy powerful us.” Kerry Hanno taunted. “这么说,来窥探我们的杜客亚山民就像那个小子所说的,是被我们打败的那几个部落的人啰。他们不去进攻克索康特部落,却敢来惹强大的我们。”克里安诺嘲讽道。 „Before you said that they are come to see the small advantage to pick.” Davos resourceful returned to one. “就像你之前所说的,他们是来看有没有便宜可捡。”戴弗斯机敏的回了一句。 Guest Lysippos speech: „No matter they are the people of Szo Conteh Tribe, on plain, so long as we had the alert, does not fear anybody. Now what is important is- found the means that can cross river, break through the stop of Orontes, enters Armenia. Otherwise the time drags is longer, difficult will be bigger.” 客里索普斯说话了:“不管他们是不是克索康特部落的人,在平原上,只要我们有了戒备,就不惧怕任何人。现在重要的是-找到可以过河的办法,冲破奥戎塔斯的阻拦,进入亚美尼亚。否则时间拖的越长,困难就会越大。” The leaders were silent. 首领们都沉默了。 The time passed by for day, does not have any discovery. 时间过去了一天,没有任何发现。 Next day, still does not have the news, but the bad news are many: The Carduchia mountain person in nearby mountain ridge are getting more and more, the Ledes rough estimate has about more than 1000 people. Opposite Persia soldier seems to be also increasing, but the provisions of feeling quickly are reducing, go out to collect the soldier of fuel also often to be attacked by Carduchians...... 第二天,依然没有好消息,但坏消息不少:附近山岭里的杜客亚山民越来越多,莱德斯粗略估计约有一千多人。对面的波斯士兵似乎也在增多,而感觉的给养则在迅速减少,出去收集柴火的士兵还不时遭到杜克亚人的袭击…… The grim situation not only makes the soldiers feel hot and bothered, Captain even/including also started the rash. When the leaders conduct the discussion, if the color Finland proposed: Let Izam return to the tribe, looks for his father Kang Moluo, looked that can help the mercenaries drive away these Carduchians. 严峻的形势不但让士兵们感到焦虑不安,连首领们也开始心浮气躁了。在首领们进行商议时,色若芬提议:让伊扎姆回部落,找他父亲康摩洛,看能不能帮助雇佣军驱赶这些杜客亚人。 Was scoffed by Timasion, both sides even had the quarrel. 遭到了提马宋的耻笑,双方甚至发生了争吵。 .......................................... …………………………………… Third day early morning, Xenophon leads two young soldiers, enters the tent arrogantly. Originally these two soldiers found the place that can easily wade to cross river. 第三天清晨,色诺芬带着两名年轻的战士,趾高气扬地进入帐幕。原来这两名战士找到了可以轻易步涉过河的地点。 Hears this news, before the leaders conflict also vanishes does not see, is completely excited. 听到这个消息,首领们之前的矛盾冲突也都消失不见,全部兴奋起来。 For does not bring to the attention of opposite shore Persians, guest Lysippos traded dressing up of ordinary soldier, walks goes to be possible along with the soldier the crossing river place...... 只是为了不引起对岸波斯人的注意,客里索普斯换了一副普通士兵的装扮,步行随士兵前往可过河地点…… When with great difficulty he comes back, sees the guest Lysippos relaxed expression, everyone knows the matter that crosses river became. 好不容易等到他回来,看到客里索普斯轻松的表情,大家就知道过河的事成了。
