Xibonian Garrison troops in top panic-stricken looks at own compatriot easily to be defeated by the Rhegion army outside the city, scatters in all directions to flee, actually does not dare to go out of town to aid, instead shuts tightly the city gate. 希伯尼安守军在城头惊恐的望着自己的同胞在城外被利吉姆军队轻松击败,四散奔逃,却不敢出城接应,反而将城门紧闭。 After one hour, more than 5000 Rhegion soldiers surround the Xibonian city all round. 一个小时之后,5000多名利吉姆士兵将希伯尼安城团团包围。 .................................... ……………………………… At this time, Davos has led the army to enter the Scylletium territory. In the marching process, what kind of military action he has been thinking should then take, to beat Syracuse, to end this war thoroughly, therefore has been very all the way quiet. 此时,戴弗斯已经率领大军进入了西里庭领地。在行军过程中,他一直在思索着接下来该采取怎样的军事行动、才能彻底击垮锡拉库扎、结束这场战争,因此一路上一直很沉静。 But seems high-spirited in his Hernipolis. Last night in the big tent/account, Davos affirmed finally his idea, and conceived several propositions for him earnestly, to maintain his benefit, therefore he gets up today very early in the morning, did not need to consider that the Laos city how, the whole body felt exceptionally with ease. 而在他身旁的赫尼波利斯则显得意气风发。昨晚在大帐内,戴弗斯最终肯定了他的想法,并为他认真设想了几个提议,以维护他的利益,因此今天他一早起来,再也不用去考虑拉俄斯城如何如何,浑身都觉得异常轻松。 His exciting a while and Tolmides spoke, a while drew Martius to chat, wants to understand process that in detail yesterday engaged in a decisive battle, seemed very active. 他兴奋的一会儿与托尔米德说话,一会儿又拉着马尔提乌斯聊天,想详细了解昨天会战的过程,显得十分活跃。 Theonia army enormous and powerful arrives outside the Scylletium city, not by any hindrance. 戴奥尼亚的大军浩浩荡荡的抵达西里庭城外,未受任何阻碍。 This in expected of Davos, he brought the convoy guard to circle the city to reconnoiter: The Scylletium city wall high approximately seven meters, city wall perimeter one li (0.5 km) many, it does not have the moat, but has the trench before the city, has , the northern three city gates, the harbor is surrounded in the city wall, is in one with the city. Compared with Thurii and Crotone, it does not calculate the big city, but actually must be greatly more than Terina, Xibonian and other cities. 这原本就在戴弗斯的意料之中,他带着护卫队绕城侦察:西里庭城墙高约七米,城墙周长一里多,它没有护城河,而是在城前有壕沟,有西、南、北三座城门,港口被包围在城墙之中,与城市合为一体。和图里伊、克罗托内相比,它不算大城,但是却又比特里纳、希伯尼安等城镇要大不少。 According to the result that last night interrogated the captive, Davos roughly understands military situation of Syracuse in Scylletium city: In Scylletium city original garrison 4000 people, in addition came from the civilian and slave in more than 20,000 people Syracuse and allied country, they are mainly responsible for the transportation of grain military baggage. 根据昨晚审讯俘虏的结果,戴弗斯大致了解锡拉库扎在西里庭城内的兵力情况:西里庭城内原有驻军4000人,此外还有来自锡拉库扎与盟邦的平民和奴隶两万多人,他们主要负责粮食辎重的运输。 In addition the special crowds, Dionysius in the mathematical scholar and of the superb skill having great learning construction engineer and instrument manufacture master, carpenter and boatman the Sicily island collects...... and so on about 1000 people, Dionysius can break through the Crotone city, depends upon the crossbow artillery, the attacking a city tower and abdomen bow that they manufacture...... various types of attacking a city instruments and facilities, this is also one group of people who Davos most covets obtains. 另外还有一个特殊的人群,狄奥尼修斯在西西里岛搜罗的学识渊博的数学学者、技艺高超的建筑工程师、器械制造师、木匠、船工……等等将近一千人,狄奥尼修斯之所以能够攻破克罗托内城,正是依靠他们制作的弩炮、攻城塔、腹弓……各种攻城器械和设施,这也是戴弗斯最觊觎得到的一群人。 Moreover, in the city also had Crotone and Scylletium of soldier captive in the Amato river battle, Dionysius had sold to some slave merchant captives, 3,000-4,000 people. 另外,城内还有在拉马托河会战中俘虏的克罗托内和西里庭士兵,狄奥尼修斯已经卖给了奴隶商人一部分俘虏,还有3,000-4,000人。 In addition the Syracuse defeated and dispersed soldiers also return Scylletium now, perhaps in the city the population reaches as high as more than 60,000 people. Selling that if were not Dionysius has killed killing that sells the Scylletium people, to plunder, in the Scylletium city may be unable to contain so many people. 再加上现在锡拉库扎的败兵也退回了西里庭,城内人数恐怕高达6万多人。如果不是狄奥尼修斯早已将西里庭民众杀的杀、卖的卖、抢掠了一空,西里庭城内可容纳不下这么多人。 Davos is looking into the top the densely covered Syracuse soldier, is imagining, when he issues attacks a city the order, these just experienced the Syracuse soldier of defeat also to maintain this time calmness. 戴弗斯眺望着城头上密布的锡拉库扎士兵,想象着当他下达攻城命令时,这些刚刚经历了战败的锡拉库扎士兵还会不会保持此时的镇静。 Naturally, Davos not rashly attacks one to have more than 30,000 soldiers, and possibly the cities of 20,000 preparation soldiers, he has the plan to implement. 当然,戴弗斯不会贸然的去进攻一座拥有3万多士兵,并且可能有2万预备兵员的城镇,他另有计划实施。 In top, Dionysius facial expression complex is overlooking beyond the city next hundred meters that team of troops of fast running quickly, the gloomy sound squeezes out from the gap between teeth: „Heard that Theonia Davos before each war, likes arriving at the forward observation enemy intelligence, in this has certainly him!” 在城头上,狄奥尼修斯神情复杂的俯瞰着城下百米外快速奔驰的那一队人马,阴沉的声音从牙缝中挤出:“听说戴奥尼亚的戴弗斯在每一次大战之前,喜欢亲临前方观察敌情,想必这里面一定有他！” „You want to launch the crossbow artillery at them, places hopes in Apollo to bless, can make the marbles happen to pound above him.” Saying of Pharacidas taunt, on his both hands arm and waist are entangling the bandage, a live image mummy, in yesterday's battle he is injured heavily, escaped by luck, after treatment , the deep sleep to noon today, heard that the Theonia army arrives, he was still supporting on the top. “难道你想要向他们发射弩炮,寄希望于阿波罗保佑,能让石弹正好砸在他头上。”菲比达斯嘲讽的说道,他的双手胳膊和腰上都缠着绷带,活像个木乃伊,昨天的会战中他受伤不轻,侥幸逃了出来,经过治疗后沉睡到今天中午,听说戴奥尼亚军队到来,他仍然强撑着上了城头。 Dionysius has not spoken, Pharacidas guessed right, he also really has such idea. 狄奥尼修斯没有说话,菲比达斯猜对了,他心里还真有这样的想法。 „Has not really thought that we so powerful army did lose to the young people in this our mouth unexpectedly?!” In the Pharacidas sigh sound was doubtful, escaped to return to the city yesterday, he did not have the time to inquire about the detailed process of battle, how therefore he has not clarified the Syracuse army to be defeated to the present. “真没想到我们如此强大的军队竟然败给了这个我们口中的年轻人？！”菲比达斯的感叹声中充满疑惑,昨天逃回城里,他一直没有时间去探寻会战的详细过程,所以到现在他还没弄清锡拉库扎军队是如何失败的。 „Because your battle deployment was seen through by Theonian completely, they conducted the pointed arrangement, we will be defeated......” closing one's eyes of Dionysius expression pain: Theonia left flank temporarily lance phalanx and circling of Theonia that reserve forces right flank , after changing the tactics, cavalry to hide behind attacks...... “正是因为你的会战部署完全被戴奥尼亚人看穿,他们进行了针对性的布置,我们才会失败……”狄奥尼修斯表情痛苦的闭上眼:戴奥尼亚左翼的临时变阵、骑兵身后隐藏的长矛方阵、戴奥尼亚预备队右翼的绕后攻击…… He is not willing to recall yesterday the nightmare general battle scene again, he somewhat hates the primary responsibility that will be defeated pushed on the body of Sparta person, is actually not willing to acknowledge a fact: The Syracuse soldier quality is inferior to Theonia, even the left , middle and right three groups of military are more than opposite party, actually cannot to the opposite party by the enough tremendous pressure, making the opposite party dare the bold reassigning military, displays own plan. 他不愿再去回忆昨天噩梦一般的会战场景,他有些怨恨的将失败的主要责任推在了斯巴达人的身上,却不愿承认一个事实:锡拉库扎士兵素质不如戴奥尼亚,即使左、中、右三路的兵力都比对方多,却没能给对方以足够大的压力,让对方敢于大胆的抽调兵力,施展自己的计划。 Then was one's turn Pharacidas to be speechless, although he has not clarified the reason of failure, but his tactic has not played the role, this was the fact. 这下轮到菲比达斯无话可说了,虽然他还没有弄清失败的缘由,但他的战术没发挥作用,这是事实。 „Is only an battle is defeated, several years ago we were beaten by Carthaginians in the battle, similarly was surrounded by the army, even the people have the riot, the situation is more critical than today. However under my direction, with the help of Sparta ally, defeats Carthage finally, heard that Carthage that general Mirko also committed suicide!” At this time, Dionysius is looking all around the despondency subordinate, he realized that cannot wallow during the failure again, must rouse, otherwise the following fight was more difficult to hit. Meanwhile, regarding Pharacidas, he cannot castigate again, because to the Syracuse extremely disadvantageous situation, Syracuse will rely on Sparta like this are more: „Do not look that today Theonian because of winning to be self-satisfied, but there is blessing of Apollo, our Syracuse person will let these several years ago is also Theonian of freeman knows, the final victory will only belong to Syracuse!” “不过只是一场会战失败而已,几年前我们在会战中被迦太基人击败,同样被大军包围,甚至民众也发生暴乱,情况比今天更危急。但是在我的指挥下,在斯巴达盟友的帮助下,最终还是打败迦太基,听说迦太基那位将军希米尔科也自杀了！”此时,狄奥尼修斯环顾着士气低落的手下,他意识到不能再沉迷于失败之中,必须振奋起来,否则接下来的战斗就更难打了。同时,对于菲比达斯,他也不能再苛责,因为在这样对锡拉库扎极其不利的局势下,锡拉库扎将依赖斯巴达的更多:“别看今天戴奥尼亚人因为胜利而得意,但是有阿波罗的庇佑,我们锡拉库扎人会让这些几年前还不过是自由民的戴奥尼亚人知道,最终的胜利只会属于锡拉库扎！” „Right that Sir Dionysius said that facing Carthage, which time our first did not defeat for these years then wins, finally becomes the Sicily master, Theonia is more powerful than Carthage!” Damocles is loud immediately should with. “狄奥尼修斯大人说的对,这几年面对迦太基,我们哪一次不是先败而后胜,最终成为西西里的主人,戴奥尼亚难道比迦太基还要强大吗！”达摩克利斯立刻大声应和。 „Theonian does not have any fearfully, we must raise the morale of soldiers, waits for the opportunity to give the enemy to counter-attack!” law Schiepe Sars is also saying loudly. “戴奥尼亚人没有什么可怕的,我们要将士兵们的士气重新鼓舞起来,等待机会给予敌人反击！”法西佩萨斯也大声说着。 general and ministers were inspired, on the face started to have the appearance, in Pharacidas heart depressed also diverged much, only then in information chieftain Andros of crowd surrounding raised in the Nepali heart to have doubts: Since Dionysius does not fear Theonia, why can send out the envoy quietly?...... 将领和大臣们受到鼓舞,脸上开始有了神采,就连菲比达斯心中的沮丧也散去不少,只有在人群外围的情报头目安德罗斯提尼心中疑惑:既然狄奥尼修斯不惧戴奥尼亚,为何又要悄悄派出使者？…… ................................. …………………………… Davos circles the city one week later, returns to the army, issues the order: Inside and outside one construction camp away city. 戴弗斯绕城一周之后,返回军队,下达命令:距城一里外建造营地。 When his plan defeats while the enemy newly, morale is dispirited, present range city so near place Xiayingpan, is then rapid to two wings and cities advances, to achieve the goal of finally thoroughly sieging the Scylletium city. 他的计划是趁着敌人新败、士气不振之时,现在距离城池如此近的地方扎下营盘,然后迅速向两翼和城下推进,以达到最终彻底围困西里庭城的目的。 The order issues, 50,000 armies branch out half of troops to start to unearth the trench, the building dirt wall. The other half person is fully-armed, the outgoing sneak attack of vigilant Syracuse person, only then Siprus leads more than 1000 Terina soldiers to march to the west fast, they want to take back their Homelands Terina impatiently city. 命令一下达,5万军队就分出一半人马开始挖掘壕沟,营建土墙。另一半人则全副武装,警惕锡拉库扎人的出城偷袭,只有西普洛斯带领一千多特里纳士兵快速向西行军,他们迫不及待的想要收回他们的家园-特里纳城。 In Davos urges the army speeds up building the camp, Tolmides incoming telegram: The Syracuse envoy seeks an interview! 就在戴弗斯督促全军加快修筑营地之时,托尔米德来报:锡拉库扎使者求见！ „, Also is you!” Saw the Syracuse envoy, Davos smiles meaningfully: „This Dionysius sends you to come, is the preparation surrenders to me?” “哦,又是你！”看到锡拉库扎使者,戴弗斯意味深长的笑了:“这一次狄奥尼修斯派你来,是准备向我投降吗？” „Sir Davos, our Syracuse is the Sicily overlord, not only 70,000 citizen soldiers, 500,000 population, more than ten big nations are our union, obeys our summons at any time.” Damocles saying proudly: „Even we are defeated at the naval battle, failed in the battle, lost many warships and soldiers, but this failure was nothing, our can Syracuse organize the army who is as good as present this army population to come Magna Graecia momentarily again, Theonia can achieve?!” “戴弗斯大人,我们锡拉库扎是西西里的霸主,不但有7万公民兵,50万人口,还有十几个大邦是我们的同盟,随时听从我们的召唤。”达摩克利斯傲然的说道:“就算我们在海战失败,在会战中失败,损失了不少战船和士兵,但这点失败算不了什么,我们锡拉库扎随时可以再组织一支不亚于现在这支军队人数的大军前来大希腊,戴奥尼亚能够做到吗？！” „Since Syracuse is so powerful, you should welcome your new army arrivals in the Scylletium harbor, but also runs here to make anything!” Law clerk Hernipolis spoke the ridicule. “既然锡拉库扎这么强大,你应该在西里庭港口去迎接你们新的军队到来,还跑来我们这里做什么！”书记官赫尼波利斯出言讥讽。 Damocles has not managed him, but looks at Davos, solemn-looking saying: „Because Syracuse and Theonia war, if continues, regardless of who wins finally who loses, he will weaken our Greeks in west Mediterranean strength, but will let...... these hate our Greeks indigenous influence on benefit like Carthaginians, Messapians and Samnites, I think that Sir Dionysius, Sir Davos is not willing to notice the situation appears. Therefore, Sir Dionysius sends me to represent him to come to ask a few words to Sir Davos, he proposed, ‚the both sides truce, asked Sir Davos you did agree?’” 达摩克利斯没有理他,而是看着戴弗斯,神情庄重的说道:“因为锡拉库扎与戴奥尼亚的战争如果持续下去,无论最终谁胜谁负,他都将削弱我们希腊人在西地中海的力量,而会让像迦太基人、梅萨皮人、萨莫奈人……这些仇恨我们希腊人的土著势力得到好处,我想无论是狄奥尼修斯大人、还是戴弗斯大人都不愿看到这样的情况出现吧。因此,狄奥尼修斯大人派我代表他来向戴弗斯大人问一句话,他提议,‘双方停战,问戴弗斯大人你是否同意？’” „Really is an absurd joke! Who before was leads the army to invade Magna Graecia, killed and burnt to plunder, stops at no evil! How at that time your overstepped authority main had not considered that such savage aggression and slaughters will significantly weaken strength of Greeks on Italian Peninsula, but helped nearby aborigines gain the advantage! Has the defeat now, remembered wanted the peace, to maintain the Greeks interests-!” What Ripoll scoffs to say with a smile loudly: „I only want to know that Dionysius does know ‚shameless’ the meaning of this word!” “真是个荒谬的笑话！之前是谁带领大军侵略大希腊,烧杀抢掠,无恶不作！那个时候你们的那位僭主怎么没有考虑到这样凶残的侵略和杀戮会大大削弱希腊人在意大利半岛上的力量,而让附近的土著人获得好处！哦,现在吃了败仗,又想起了要和平、要维护希腊人的利益-嗬！”何里波利斯大声嗤笑道:“我只想知道狄奥尼修斯知不知道‘无耻’这个词的含义！” Damocles evades the question, instead righteous saying: „First provokes the war is not Syracuse, but is south intent Union, if not you must attack Locri, we will not accept the invitation of ally to come Magna Graecia-” 达摩克利斯避而不答,反而理直气壮的说道:“最先挑起战争的不是锡拉库扎,而是南意同盟,如果不是你们要进攻洛克里,我们也不会接受盟友的邀请前来大希腊-” Hernipolis was mad smiled, the indignation however said: „I may know that now anything is called-” 赫尼波利斯气得笑了,忿然说道:“我现在可知道什么叫做-” At this time, Davos raised the hand, wields wielding, Hernipolis did not speak, but bitterly is staring the Carthage envoy. 这时,戴弗斯扬起手,挥了挥,赫尼波利斯不说话了,只是恨恨的瞪着迦太基使者。
