Therefore, Hielosslows down the attacking a cityprogressagain, wantonlyfellingtrees, manufactureattacking a cityinstrument.
于是,希洛斯再次放慢攻城进度,大肆砍伐树木,制作攻城器械。Will soon startregardingTheoniantoMeidMa'sattack, is wantingto rescuewith the Locriperson who the Cauloniaarmyconfronts, is actually has a mindto be incapable.
对于戴奥尼亚人即将开始对迈德玛的进攻,正在与考伦尼亚军队对峙的洛克里人想要救援,却是有心无力。Those whomakethembe worried: OncemadeTheonianattack and occupyMedma, DalyAllied armiesgushed out the ancient roadfrom west to east, the Locrisituationbecomesverydangerous!
更让他们担心的是:一旦让戴奥尼亚人攻占了麦德玛,戴利联军从西向东涌出古道,洛克里的处境将会变得十分危险!Therefore, Locrisends outfive50thick liquidexpress steamers, takes the bigrisk, paidtwoto be sunk, twocapturedheavy prices, has rushed to the blockade of Theoniafleet, entered the Scylletiumharbor.
所以,洛克里派出五艘五十浆快船,冒着巨大的风险,付出了两艘被撞沉、两艘被俘虏的惨重代价,闯过戴奥尼亚舰队的封锁,进入西里庭港口。Dionysiusonlyknows: For these days was not only uses the peace talksin the protractedtime, Davoshas not been idlingsimilarly, henot onlycompelledto fallCaulonia, but alsodareswhilesiegingowndivides forcesto defeatLockerLi'sarmy, beatTerinaandXibonian, Medma was also in imminent danger, thoroughseparatedScylletiumandLocri. Thus it can be seen, perhapsDavossimplydoes not have the sincerity of peace talks!狄奥尼修斯这才知道:这几天不光是自己利用和谈在拖延时间,戴弗斯同样没有闲着,他不但逼降了考伦尼亚,而且还敢在围困自己的同时分兵击败了洛克李的军队,轻取了特里纳、希伯尼安,就连麦德玛也岌岌可危,彻底的将西里庭和洛克里分隔开来。由此可见,戴弗斯恐怕也根本没有和谈的真心!ThisdiscoverymakesDionysiusbedistressed: Obviouslythisyoungarchon notsuch as the ageis politically ordinary, seem likehismilitary commandsamesinister, whilelullingown, is actually swallowingSyracuserapidlyin the Magna Graeciaunionstrength, expected that finallycompletelyannihilatesownarmyinthis!
这一发现让狄奥尼修斯感到痛心:显然这位年轻的执政官在政治上并非如年龄一般幼稚,倒像他的军事指挥一样的阴险,在麻痹自己的同时,却在迅速吞食锡拉库扎在大希腊的同盟力量,期望最终彻底将自己的大军歼灭在此!Detected that the real intention of Davos, howDionysiuswill sit waiting for death, whenno matter the reinforcementscanarrive, hemustfirstbe ready.
察觉到戴弗斯的真实用意,狄奥尼修斯又岂会坐以待毙,不管援军何时能够到达,他都必须先做好准备。....................................
………………………………By the next day, Antoniossaw the Davosintelligence servicein the subordinate who headAntrasPolis of Sicilyislandsends, hebroughtAntrasPolis'ssuggestion: HopesAntonioscantakeMeiyaas the bait, luresSyracuse and allied armiescomesto attack, with the aim ofcreating the Catania, Leontium, Syracuseand othercity-stateinternalprotectionstrength of the voids, is the Dionysiusopponents conducts the riotto create the condition.
到了第二天,安东尼奥斯就见到了戴弗斯情报部门在西西里岛的负责人安特拉波里斯派来的手下,他带来了安特拉波里斯的建议:希望安东尼奥斯能够以梅亚罗为诱饵,诱使锡拉库扎及其盟军前来进攻,以便造成卡塔奈、列奥提尼、锡拉库扎等城邦内部防备力量的空虚,为狄奥尼修斯的反对者们进行暴乱创造条件。InunderstoodAntrasPolissketchilyafter the arrangement of Sicilyeast-midlandseveralmaincity-state, toreduce the hindrance of laterattack, Antoniosafter the thinking, expressed the agreement.
在粗略了解了安特拉波里斯在西西里东中部几个主要城邦的布置之后,也为了减少以后进攻的阻碍,安东尼奥斯在思索之后,表示了同意。Whilewaiting for the enemyattacks, hereleasedbeforehandcaptivity the old person, women and the childrenCooley's, on the one handtoreduce the consumption of grain, on the other handalsomakesthesepeoplehave the wordsto giveCooleyPeople: ComesTheoniantoSicily, but to invading the Magna GraeciaSyracusepersontakes revenge, has no intentionto invadeanycity-stateterritory, has no intentionwithothercity-statefor the enemy, andis willingto overthrow the tyrannicalrule of DionysiuswithvariousSicilycity-statetogether.
在等待敌人进攻的同时,他释放了之前囚禁的西库利的老人、妇女和儿童,一方面是为了减少粮食的消耗,另一方面也让这些人带话给西库利民众:戴奥尼亚人到西西里来,只是为了向侵略大希腊的锡拉库扎人复仇,无意侵占任何城邦的领土,也无意与其他城邦为敌,并且愿意与西西里各城邦一起推翻狄奥尼修斯的暴虐统治。Antoniossends out a braveNaxospersontonorthTauromenionsimilarly, transmitted the samemeaningtothem. The envoy who howeversends outhas not actually seento return, thus it can be seentheseCampaniasoldiers of fortune'sevil intentionstoTheonia, butthesemercenarieshave not gone out of townto descend the mountainrashly, attackalongAlCattaLao Rivervalleyeast-boundrefugeecrowd.安东尼奥斯同样向北面的陶罗美尼昂派出一位勇敢的纳克索斯人,向他们传达了相同的意思。但是派出的使者却未见返回,由此可见这些坎帕尼亚雇佣兵对戴奥尼亚的恶意,但这些雇佣兵也没有贸然出城下山,去袭击正沿着阿尔卡塔拉河谷东进的流亡者人群。Theserefugeesare enteringMeiyacontinuously, andobtainsin the town/subdues the warmwelcome of firstregimentsoldiers.

这些流亡者们正络绎不绝的进入梅亚罗,并得到镇内第一军团士兵们的热烈欢迎。安东尼奥斯可用的兵源逐渐变得充足起来,他一边让拉奥狄西安、莱西佩拉图斯负责安置好这些新来者,同时抽调出青壮者,为其配发皮盾和刺枪,仅仅两天不到,他手下就多了近两千可用的预备士兵。In the afternoon, in Antoniosfeltfor the increase of ownarmystrengthwas joyful, hereceived the return of mounted scout: Lifts up high„threelegdesigns”flag, andsoldiera large number ofarmiesare enteringCooley.
这天下午,就在安东尼奥斯为自己军队实力的增强感到欣喜之时,他接到了侦骑的回报:有一支高举“三条腿图案”的旗帜、并且士兵数量众多的军队正进入西库利。Antoniosknows that the Syracusearmycame.安东尼奥斯就知道锡拉库扎的军队来了。Quick, underhim not manymounted scoutsencounter the action of driving away of Syracusecavalry, has toreturnnorth bank ofAlcantara river, butpresentedseveralunderprotection that general that in the south bankwears the coloredtopcrownhelmetinguard, towardMeiyaRomaniatogesticulatinganything, whengoodto leave.
很快,他麾下不多的侦骑遭到锡拉库扎骑兵的驱赶,不得不退回阿尔坎塔拉河北岸,而在南岸出现了好几个戴着彩色顶冠头盔的将领在护卫的保护下,向着梅亚罗方向比划着什么,待了好一阵才离开。Antoniosknows: The arrival of war was also these1-2 days of matters, evenbecausetoday the timeis too late, the Syracusepersonwill be impossibleto attack, tomorrowMeiyaLuo Townwill certainly have a fiercefight!安东尼奥斯知道:战争的到来也就是这1-2的事了,即使今天因为时间太晚,锡拉库扎人不可能会进攻,明天梅亚罗镇一定会有一场激烈的战斗!Heconstrains the anxiety in heart, in the brainrecalleddeployment that carefullyowntwo daysmade, with the aim ofdiscovering the negligence and omission......
他压抑住心中的紧张,仔细在脑中中回想自己这两天所做的部署,以便发现有没有疏忽和遗漏……....................................
………………………………Next day, clear weather, calm, just at the time ofcooperationwar. ToAntonios, thisis not a goodnews, hewantsto rain hard, thiswill increase the Syracusepersonto attackMeiyadifficultywithout doubt, Alcantara river that particularlyrises suddenlywill make the Syracusepersoncross rivercontinuallyhas.
第二天,天气晴朗,无风,正适合作战。对安东尼奥斯来说,这并不是个好消息,他倒希望是下大雨,这样无疑会增加锡拉库扎人进攻梅亚罗的困难,尤其是暴涨的阿尔坎塔拉河会让锡拉库扎人连过河都感到头痛。By the morning, the sentry in sentry postbuildinghas been ableto see the southbillowingwindblown dust.
到了上午,哨楼上的哨兵已经能够看到南面的滚滚尘烟了。Butfirstdiscoveredenemy intelligence is actually the harbor, in the harborsea levelpresented the Syracusefleet.
但首先发现敌情的却是港口,港口的海面上出现了锡拉库扎的舰队。ObtainsnewsAntoniosnot to expressanyunusualmood, buthewas clear: The Syracusepersonflood and fieldadvances together, must shut off the escape route of firstregiment, cuts off the backing of firstregiment, mustencircle and annihilate.
得到消息的安东尼奥斯没有表现出任何异常情绪,但他心里清楚:锡拉库扎人海陆并进,显然是要切断第一军团的退路,断绝第一军团的后援,要进行包围歼灭。Therefore, hequicklyasked: „How manytriremes?!”
所以,他急忙问道:“有多少艘三层桨战船?!”„Concretequantityis not clear, seems like not smaller than ourfleets!” The sentryreply of harborlighthouse. The marinefleeton the armylikeland, cannotoccupy a surrounding areamore than tenli (0.5 km)sea levelwhen the navigation, solelydoes not depend upon the shorefixedlyhisslooks at the tower to investigateclearly.
“具体数量不清楚,看起来不比我们的舰队少!”港口灯塔的哨兵回答。海上的舰队不像陆地上的部队,在航行时能占据方圆十几里的海面,不是仅仅依靠岸边固定的嘹望塔所能探查清楚的。Antoniosnaturallyalsosomeunderstood, the marinefighthecannot make an effort, can only depend onSeckerLyan.安东尼奥斯当然也对此有一些了解,海上的战斗他使不上劲儿,只能靠塞科利安了。„The people and patrolsoldiers who let the harborwithdrawin the town/subduesimmediately!”Antoniosissues the orderimmediately. The harboris not in MeiyaLuo Town, does not have the city wallto protect, insituation that the armythreatens the border, does not needto waste the limitedmanpowerto protect the harbor that is impossibleto defend, hemust the concentration of effortdeal with the forthcominglandattack. Even the Syracusefleetmustinharbornearbycoastlanding, burn downfor his firstregimenttransports the commodity the harbor, at this momenthecould not attend to......
“让港口的民众和巡逻兵立刻撤回镇内!”安东尼奥斯立刻下达命令。港口并不在梅亚罗镇内,又没有城墙保护,在大军压境的情况下,没必要浪费有限的人手去保护一个根本就不可能守住的港口,他必须集中兵力应对即将到来的陆上进攻。即使锡拉库扎舰队要在港口附近的海岸登陆,焚烧为他的第一军团转运物资的港口,此刻他也顾不上了……But the Syracusefleethas not landed the harbor, has not burnt down the harbor, becausecommunicated the Sicilymerchant ship of thisroute the situation of finding out by secret inquiryto informSyracuseover the two days: Every morning the TheoniafleetfromRhegion, will arrive inMeiyaharbor, goes on patroltoafternoon, just nowreturns toRhegionagain, only if the Syracusenavycommandsis a fool, otherwiselanded the harboratthis time, the target that anchorswill becomewill only rush to the warship of wharf the Theoniafleetpractice that hits.
但锡拉库扎舰队没有登陆港口,也没有焚烧港口,因为这两天来往这条航路的西西里商船早已将探知的情况告知了锡拉库扎:每天上午戴奥尼亚的舰队会从利吉姆出发,抵达梅亚罗港口,巡逻至下午,方才再返回利吉姆,所以除非锡拉库扎的海军统领是个傻子,否则在这时登陆港口,停泊在码头的战船只会成为随后赶到的戴奥尼亚舰队练习撞击的靶子。Commanding of thisSyracusefleetcalledParroniSousse, hewas the Syracusenoble birth, initiallyalsobeingandHerolissupports one of the Dionysiushigh-rankfriendstogether, somequiteabilitieswhenshipsdirection, navydisastrous defeatCarthage when Leptinesled, the Syracusepeopleonceurged that madehimbecomenewnauarch.
这一只锡拉库扎舰队的统领叫帕罗尼苏斯,他是锡拉库扎贵族出身,当初也是和赫罗利斯一道鼎力支持狄奥尼修斯上位的朋友之一,在舰船指挥上颇有些才能,所以当莱普提涅斯率领的海军惨败迦太基时,锡拉库扎民众曾呼吁让他就任新的海军统帅。However when Dionysiusincommanding the armyto invadeMagna Graecia, stillappointedownyounger brotherto hold the post ofnauarch, thismakesParroniSoussebe dissatisfied, hethinks: ThisisDionysiusis helpingownyounger brotherredeem the prestige, whoknows that Theoniafleetemaciated, the victoryis the easymatter.
但是狄奥尼修斯在率军入侵大希腊时,仍然任命了自己的弟弟担任海军统帅,这让帕罗尼苏斯感到不满,他认为:这是狄奥尼修斯在帮助自己的弟弟挽回声誉,谁都知道戴奥尼亚的舰队孱弱,胜利是轻而易举的事。Whoknows, the news of Syracusenavydisastrous defeatcomestime and time again, ParroniSoussealsoexports the foul odorwhen the shock. ThistimetoeliminatelandingTheonian, considering the civiliansandfreemen's in Gulfcomplaintto the city-state, PhilistuschoseParroniSousseto hold the post of the navyto commandspecially, wantsto usehim the prestigeinsailor, making the marineattacksmoother, butParroniSoussealsowantswithoneto wintoDionysiusproved the choice that hemadewas wrong.
谁知,锡拉库扎海军一次又一次惨败的消息传来,帕罗尼苏斯在震惊之余也出了口恶气。这一次为了消灭登陆的戴奥尼亚人,考虑到海湾里的平民、自由民对城邦的怨念,菲利斯托斯特意选择了帕洛尼苏斯来担任海军统领,就是想利用他在水手中的威望,让海上的进攻更加顺利,而帕洛尼苏斯也想用一场大胜向狄奥尼修斯证明他所做的选择是错误的。At this time, the Syracusewarshipanchorsin the sea level outside harbor, bownorthern North Korea, awaits calmly the arrival of Theoniafleet.
此时,锡拉库扎的战船都停泊在港口外的海面上,舰首朝北,静待戴奥尼亚舰队的到来。.......................................

一天又一天重复着护送利吉姆船队、巡逻梅亚罗附近海面等任务已经让塞克利安有些厌烦了,眼看着戴奥尼亚的陆上部队大举进攻大希腊的敌人,攻城拔寨、战果辉煌,而最早奠定戴奥尼亚联盟胜利基础的海军却只能协助陆军担任护航、巡逻等无关痛痒的任务,塞克利安感到很无奈,如果不是因为这一次远征西西里事关重大,他宁愿呆在利吉姆,让下属来替他做这个无聊的任务。Inhesitsin the deck, when ponders overtheseto escort the fleet, to timebring the fleetto continuesearches the Syracuseporttosouth, onmasthisslooks at the handto shout loudlysuddenly: „Fronthas the fleet! The warshipare many!”
就在他坐在甲板上,琢磨着这一次护送完船队、要不要带着舰队继续向南探一探锡拉库扎的大港时,桅杆上的嘹望手突然高喊:“前方有舰队!战船很多!”Sekrianonehear, sets outimmediately: Canin the fleet that onthissea areapresentsonlypossiblybe the Syracuseperson!塞克利安一听,立即起身:能在这片海域上出现的舰队只可能是锡拉库扎人!Heis finally excited: „The Syracusefleetattacked, soundsto attack the bugle, wemove forward to meet somebody!”
他终于兴奋起来:“锡拉库扎的舰队来进攻了,吹响进攻军号,我们迎上去!”At this time, saying that the placeshipcaptainwas somewhat worried about: „General, the Syracusepersoncomes prepared, the warshipare perhaps more than us, butonourwarshipsdoes not have‚crow’, are youlook...... temporarilyfirst-”
这时,座舰舰长有些担心的说道:“将军,锡拉库扎人是有备而来,战船恐怕比我们多,而我们的战船上都没有‘乌鸦’,你看……是不是暂时先-”„Shut up!”Sekrianshoutsone, gazes at fixedlyhim, an appearance that gets angryhimnot to struggle, reproved: „ HowIhad not discovered that you are a coward! Without the crowhanging bridgedoesn't dareto conduct the naval battle?! Youalsomatch is a bravesailor! Was the heavy infantrysimply!
“闭嘴!”塞克利安大喊一声,瞪视他,一副怒其不争的样子,训斥道:“我怎么没发现你是个懦夫!没有乌鸦吊桥就不敢进行海战啦?!你还配是一个勇敢的水手吗!干脆去当重步兵得了!Dozensyears ago, the vulnerableAthensnavycandefeatPersians, the experiencedeficientSpartanavycandefeatAthenians, todaymySeckerLyansamecannot depend upon the infantry, beats the Syracusepersonwith the most legitimatenaval battle! ”
几十年前,处于弱势的雅典海军能击败波斯人,经验缺乏的斯巴达海军能击败雅典人,今天我塞科利安一样可以不依靠步兵,用最正统的海战击败锡拉库扎人!”
The Sekrianlooking into the distancefrontproudly, a captainfacelowers the headashamed.塞克利安傲然的眺望前方,舰长一脸羞惭地低下头。
