„The Theonia envoy, I thinks your time comes to not to study the Carthage god.” Hanno(Hannonian) has a happy expression, meaningful saying: „Pitifully, our replies with previous time are very same, Carthage will always abide with the Syracuse agreement, therefore you were perhaps disappointed.” “戴奥尼亚的使者,我想你这次来不是为了学习和研究迦太基神祗的吧。”汉诺带着一丝笑意,意味深长的说道:“很可惜,我们的回答和上次一样,迦太基会始终信守与锡拉库扎的协议,所以你恐怕要失望了。” „Sir Hanno(Hannonian), our Theonia will not make Carthage awkward, does not have again with attempt that you form an alliance.” Ansitanos earnest saying: „My this time comes is representative Theonia council, the hope can with the Carthage trade.” “汉诺大人,我们戴奥尼亚不会让迦太基为难,也没有再与你们结盟的企图。”安希塔洛斯认真的说道:“我这次来是代表戴奥尼亚元老院,希望能与迦太基进行贸易。” „The trade in which aspect?” In the Hanno(Hannonian) heart moves, asks. “哪方面的贸易？”汉诺心中一动,问道。 „Grain!” Ansitanos straightforward saying: „Our Theonian is resisting the invasion of Syracuse person furiously, as a result of the Syracuse person to our territory destruction wantonly, now the food supply of entire alliance is anxious, if cannot purchase large quantities of grain from outside, how long then our armies could not insist, because of lacking grain, but is unable to fight! By that time, the Syracuse person can easily rout our soldiers, seizes Theonia, thus achieves completely controls the Magna Graecia goal.” “谷物！”安西塔诺斯直截了当的说道:“我们戴奥尼亚人正在奋力抵抗锡拉库扎人的入侵,由于锡拉库扎人对我们领地大肆的破坏,现在整个联盟的粮食供应非常紧张,如果不能从外面购进大批的谷物,那么我们的军队坚持不了多久,就会因为缺粮而无法战斗！到那时,锡拉库扎人就可以轻易的击溃我们的士兵,占领戴奥尼亚,从而达到完全控制大希腊的目的。” The Hanno(Hannonian) right eye skin jumped jumping, hesitated a while, said: „If purchases the grain, we can consider actually. This year the African rainwater is abundant, the grain bumper crop, Carthage has many extra grain, but I heard that the Theonia population are many, the grain quantity that you need perhaps is not a small number, you and Carthage wars continued is so long, can you also with obtaining to purchase the money of grain?” 汉诺的右眼皮跳了跳,沉吟了一会儿,说道:“如果只是采购谷物,我们倒是可以考虑。今年阿非利加雨水充裕,谷物丰产,迦太基是有很多富余的粮食,但是我听说戴奥尼亚的人口不少,你们所需的谷物数量恐怕不是一个小数目,你们与迦太基的战争持续了这么久,你们还能拿得出购买谷物的钱吗？” „I heard that Carthage recently also desperately short of wealth, is impossible to give our preferential grain prices, but our state treasuries have truly exhausted quickly, but the Theonia people contributed the silver coin of collection in home enthusiastically, only in order to defeated Syracuse, made Magna Graecia regain the peace, therefore purchased the money of grain we to pay!” Ansitanos spoken language spirited saying. “我听说迦太基最近也急缺钱财,不可能给予我们优惠的谷物价格,而我们的国库确实已快耗尽,但是戴奥尼亚民众们踊跃的捐献出了珍藏在家中的银币,只为了能够击败锡拉库扎,重新让大希腊恢复和平,所以购买谷物的钱我们付得起！”安西塔诺斯言语激昂的说道。 His words vibrated Hanno(Hannonian), is not only because the Theonia people display must with the determination that the Syracuse life and death fight, because also that „the Carthage also desperately short of wealth” affected his sensitive. 他的话语震动了汉诺,不仅仅是因为戴奥尼亚民众表现出的要与锡拉库扎决死一战的决心,同时也因为那一句“迦太基也急缺钱财”牵动了他敏感的神经。 Why Carthage so wealthy will city-state also be short of money?! That is because make the Carthage state treasury consumption huge with the Syracuse war several times, moreover war, although had finished, but the consumption of Carthage state treasury was still continuing. In order to guard against powerful Syracuse, Carthage council decided that rebuilds the defense circle west the Sicily island, to safeguard the security of this city, for this reason they appointed Magon to be the Sicily army commander, gave his some independent rights. 迦太基如此富裕的城邦为什么也会缺钱？！那是因为几次与锡拉库扎的战争让迦太基国库消耗巨大,而且战争虽然已经结束,但迦太基国库的消耗仍在继续。为了防备强大的锡拉库扎,迦太基元老院决定在西西里岛西部重建防御圈,以保障本城的安全,为此他们任命了玛哥担任西西里的军队指挥官,给予了他一些自主权利。 After Magon takes office, he not only recruits the labor forces and purchase a lot of materials to construct the defense fort, because the Carthage citizen soldier is fatal in the war, to offset the insufficiency of military, therefore he also recruited over ten thousand from Celtic and Nummi Biya, Iberia and other area of the mercenaries. Therefore, the Carthage mint must produce every month massively, the purchasing power very high amber gold coin and silver coin, for paying the pay of mercenary, Carthage every month the income of business, as well as from Iberia and Sardinia the big end of minerals income spent on this. 玛哥上任后,他不但招募劳力、购买大量的物质来建造防御要塞,而且由于迦太基公民兵在战争中伤亡惨重,为了弥补兵力的不足,因此他还招募了上万名来自凯尔特、努米比亚、伊比利亚等地区的雇佣兵。为此,迦太基的铸币厂每月都要生产大量的、购买力很高的琥珀金币和银币,用于支付雇佣兵的薪酬,迦太基每月商贸的收入、以及来自伊比利亚、萨丁尼亚的矿产收入的大头都花费在了这上面。 But this is also not the issue that Hanno(Hannonian) mainly worries about, what he most is worried: Because the Syracuse army makes Carthaginians increasingly anxious in wreaking havoc of Magna Graecia, thus with Magonid virtue family the support of these allies, Magon is expanding in the Sicily power unceasingly. Couple days ago, he also mailed the letter, requesting council to give him in the power of Sicily coined money, to omit the ships to transport a substantial amount of gold and silver coins back and forth the troublesome as well as potential dangers, for example met the storm to cause the sunken wreck......, because this matter council had argued for several days. 但这还不是汉诺主要担忧的问题,他最担心的是:由于锡拉库扎大军在大希腊的肆虐使得迦太基人日益紧张,从而在马戈尼德家族的那些盟友的支持下,玛哥在西西里的权力在不断扩大。前几天,他还寄来信件,要求元老院给予他在西西里铸币的权力,以省去船只来回运送大量金银币的麻烦以及潜在的危险,比如遇上风暴而导致沉船……因为这件事元老院已经争论了好几天了。 These days, Hanno(Hannonian) has been troubled: Magon has threatened him in the power and influence that Sicily expands unceasingly in the Carthage council political rule position, he seizes with great difficulty from the Magonid virtue family hand the Carthage leading power, does not allow Magon to seize again it! 这段时间,汉诺一直感到不安:玛哥在西西里不断扩大的权势已经威胁到他在迦太基元老院的政治统治地位,他好不容易将迦太基的主导权从马戈尼德家族手中夺过来,决不允许玛哥再将它夺回去！ Ansitanos sees the Hanno(Hannonian) brow tight wrinkle and being lost in thought that therefore also said: „Naturally, if you permit, we hope that can replace some expenses that the purchase grain deals with the Syracuse captive.” 安西塔诺斯见汉诺眉头紧皱、陷入沉思,于是又说道:“当然,如果你允许的话,我们希望能用锡拉库扎俘虏来代替购买谷物所应付的部分费用。” „Syracuse captive?” Some Hanno(Hannonian) doubts , he although obtains the news that the Theonia navy wins, but the concrete tactical situation is not quite clear. “锡拉库扎的俘虏？”汉诺有些疑惑,他虽得到戴奥尼亚海军获胜的消息,但具体的战况却不太清楚。 „Our fleets beat the Syracuse person in the Thurii sea, but also captured over ten thousand Syracuse sailors. This I come Carthage twice, deeply feels the Carthage people's hatred to the Syracuse person, I think, if can make the Syracuse captive be their slaves, could help them vent the hatred in heart......” Ansitanos at a moderate pace saying. “我们的舰队在图里伊的海上击败了锡拉库扎人,还俘虏了上万名锡拉库扎水手。这两次我来迦太基,深感到迦太基民众对锡拉库扎人的痛恨,我想如果能让锡拉库扎俘虏做他们的奴隶,或许能帮助他们发泄心中的仇恨……”安西塔诺斯不紧不慢的说道。 Hanno(Hannonian) eye one bright: Receives in exchange for the western Lacour gripping the slave with the grain, this could win the favorable impression of Carthage people. 汉诺眼睛一亮:用谷物换取西拉库扎奴隶,这或许能赢得迦太基民众的好感。 Naturally, this has not been considered as that place that Hanno(Hannonian) most is interested, his body slightly to the leans forward, gazes at Ansitanos, the sinking sound is asking: „Your fleets can defeat the Syracuse person, this is very astonishing! However can your army beat the Syracuse powerful army?!” 当然,这还不算是汉诺最感兴趣的地方,他身体略向前倾,注视着安西塔诺斯,沉声问道:“你们的舰队能够战胜锡拉库扎人,这很令人吃惊！但是你们的陆军能击败锡拉库扎强大的陆军吗？！” Carthaginians always thinks that own navy is west Mediterranean is most powerful, in the former and Syracuse war, the reasons of navy twice disastrous defeat did not lose to the marine true showdown, but was stranded in the harbor and Gulf, either was hit by the attack of crossbow artillery, because either the surprise attack caused the sailors not to embark. Carthaginians is not convinced, therefore Theonian in naval battle victory, although is astounding, actually not to the Hanno(Hannonian) very big vibration, but the Syracuse huge army truly makes Carthaginians feel to dread. 迦太基人一向认为自己的海军是西地中海最强大的,在之前与锡拉库扎的战争中,海军两次惨败的原因并不是败于海上的真正对决,而是被困在港口和海湾里,要么遭受弩炮的袭击,要么因为突袭导致水手们根本就没有上船。迦太基人是不服气的,因此戴奥尼亚人在海战中的胜利虽然令人惊奇,却没给汉诺很大的震动,但是锡拉库扎庞大的陆军确实让迦太基人感到畏惧。 „ Sir Hanno(Hannonian), if you understand Theonia, you will know our king Davos since the Theonia alliance has established, he directs the combat never to suffer the failure, moreover there are defeats a numerically superior enemy repeatedly. Before, Theonia suffered some setbacks, that is because King Davos your majesty is commanding the army to battle with Samnites of north, now he has commanded the army to return to Thurii, the victory of naval battle obtained under his plan. “汉诺大人,如果你了解戴奥尼亚,你就会知道我们的国王戴弗斯自从戴奥尼亚联盟建立以来,他指挥作战就从未遭遇过失败,而且有多次是以少胜多。之前,戴奥尼亚遭到了一些挫折,那是因为戴弗斯国王陛下正率军与北面的萨莫奈人作战,现在他已经率军返回了图里伊,海战的胜利就是在他的谋划之下取得的。 Before I leave Thurii, he has commanded the army to go to Crotone, the preparation resists there Syracuse army. Although the population of our soldier are less than the Syracuse army, however all soldiers and general your majesty are confident about Davos, is willing to obey his order, fights to the death with the Syracuse person! So long as our grain is sufficient, I believe that we can certainly beat the Syracuse army finally! ” Ansitanos is very so rare the exciting speech. 在我离开图里伊之前,他已经率军前往克罗托内,准备抵御那里的锡拉库扎大军。虽然我们士兵的人数少于锡拉库扎军队,但是所有的士兵和将领都对戴弗斯陛下充满信心,愿意听从他的命令,与锡拉库扎人决一死战！只要我们粮食充足,我相信我们最后一定能击败锡拉库扎的大军！”安西塔诺斯很难得如此激动的说话。 Hanno(Hannonian) caresses by the hand must, vision twinkle, although he has not commanded the army, but also once has discussed the Magna Graecia war with the subordinates and attached his senior statesmen of familiar military repeatedly: If Theonian really can beat the Syracuse army, in addition the Syracuse navy also failed badly, invades the Magna Graecia Syracuse soldiers probably cannot to return to Sicily again, does Syracuse that then the strength damages greatly also need Carthage to be worried?! The Carthage north security has been guaranteed, does not need to guard against Syracuse on the Sicily island, does not need to spend to maintain the huge quantity of mercenaries again, Magon the duty of Governor Sicily can also abolish!...... 汉诺以手抚须,目光闪烁,虽然他没有统率过军队,但也曾与熟悉军事的手下以及附属他的元老们多次讨论过大希腊的战事:如果戴奥尼亚人真能击败锡拉库扎大军,再加上锡拉库扎的海军也遭受了惨败,入侵大希腊的锡拉库扎士兵们就有可能无法再回到西西里,那么实力大损的锡拉库扎还需要迦太基去担心吗？！迦太基的北面安全得到保证,也就无需在西西里岛上防备锡拉库扎,更不需要再花钱维持数量庞大的雇佣兵,玛哥的西西里总督的职务也就可以撤销了！…… The Hanno(Hannonian) heart has relayed the innumerable thoughts, then smiles was saying: „Early tomorrow morning, you to council, I will invite you to enter, said the request of Theonia to the senior statesmen.” 汉诺心中转过无数念头,然后微笑着说道:“明天一早,你到元老院,我会邀请你进入,对元老们说出戴奥尼亚的要求。” Ansitanos one hear of great happiness, have Fetter Hanno(Hannonian) these words, in fact will purchase the grain the matter definitely to obtain the approval of Carthage council. 安西塔诺斯一听大喜,有苏菲特汉诺的这句话,实际上购买谷物的事肯定会获得迦太基元老院的认可。 „Many thanks Sir Hanno(Hannonian)!” The Ansitanos grateful loudness said. “多谢汉诺大人！”安西塔诺斯感激的大声说道。 .................................... ……………………………… The news of Syracuse army disastrous defeat passes to Terina in the evening, created in the city the panic of garrison troops, because the weather is too late, fears accidentally/surprisingly, does not dare to withdraw Scylletium in the nighttime. 锡拉库扎大军惨败的消息当晚就传到了特里纳,造成了城内守军的恐慌,只是因为天色太晚,怕出意外,才没敢在黑夜里撤回西里庭。 Next morning, the Terina garrison troops more than 3000 people start to get ready to retreat. 第二天一早,特里纳守军3000多人就开始准备撤退。 However shortly after just went out of town, had/left the accident/surprise: More than 1000 Xibonian people are not willing to go to Scylletium, but is only willing to go south own city-state. 但是刚出城不久,就出了意外:一千多希伯尼安人不愿去西里庭而只愿南下回自己的城邦。 After a negotiation and dispute, Syracuse garrison troops general expressed the agreement reluctantly, when they start retreats toward east, has crossed for one hour, they carried the commodity that plunders from Terina much, causing the action speed to be slow. After just crossed Amato river, by the Theonia outpost cavalry is discovered. 经过一番交涉和争执之后,锡拉库扎守军将领无奈的表示了同意,等到他们重新开始往东撤退时,已经过了一个多小时,偏偏他们携带了不少从特里纳抢掠来的物资,导致行动速度缓慢。在刚渡过拉马托河后,就被戴奥尼亚的前哨骑兵发现。 Obtains news Ledes sends people Davos of rearward to report, while leads more than 1000 cavalries to go to make a harassing attack urgently, to delay the enemy to return to the Scylletium time. 得到消息的莱德斯一边派人向后方的戴弗斯报告,一边紧急带领一千多骑兵前去袭扰,以延缓敌人逃回西里庭的时间。 In the first, second regiment of march column most front row after obtaining news, sends out the light armor-clad soldier and light infantry brigade to hurry to the obstruction. 在行军纵队最前列的第一、第二军团在得到消息后,也派出轻甲兵、轻步兵大队赶去阻截。 More than 2000 Terina garrison troops after discovering the Theonia mounted scout feel uneasy, under the general strict order, dresses the armor, takes up the shield lance, abandons the unnecessary military baggage, picked up the marching speed. 两千多特里纳守军在发现戴奥尼亚侦骑后就感到不妙,在将领的严令下,穿戴好盔甲,拿起盾矛,抛弃多余的辎重,加快了行军速度。 However fluctuating uneven hill road and difficult to walk, a half after about hour, the Terina garrison troops have ten miles of road from Scylletium, but the Theonia cavalry corps have rushed. 但是起伏不平的丘陵路并不好走,大约半小时之后,特里纳守军距离西里庭还有十里路,但戴奥尼亚的骑兵军团已经赶到。 Also without waiting till the cavalry corps javelin throw, 1000 Caulonia soldiers kneels suddenly surrenders, causes originally on the scared Terina garrison troops immediately a flurry, inadequate array. 还没等到骑兵军团投掷标枪,一千名考伦尼亚士兵突然跪地投降,使得原本就恐慌的特里纳守军顿时一片慌乱,不成阵列。 Ledes sees this situation, decisive order: The cavalries attack to the enemy directly. 莱德斯见此情形,果断的命令:骑兵直接向敌人进行冲击。 The Terina Syracuse garrison troops burst immediately greatly, under the chase of cavalry corps, they did not die in battle, is captured, more than 1000 people finally only over a hundred people return to Scylletium. 特里纳的锡拉库扎守军当即大溃,在骑兵军团的追逐下,他们不是战死,就是被俘,一千多人最终只余上百人逃回西里庭。 The Xibonian person similar luck to the south retreating is unsatisfactory, they bumped into took the Sekrian fleet the Rhegion army that landed in the Xibonian city north surface coast. 向南方撤退的希伯尼安人同样运气不佳,他们迎面撞上了乘坐塞克利安舰队在希伯尼安城北面海岸上登陆的利吉姆军队。 How the poor|Fei pillar will let up this outnumbering golden opportunity, immediately commands the army to fiercely attack. 菲墩怎会放过这个以多打少的大好机会,当即率军猛攻。
