Matthiascan ignoreso many, leading the soldiersto move inthisvillageforcefully, andordered the villagersto preparefood.马西阿斯也顾不得那么多,带领士兵们强行入住了这个村庄,并且勒令村民准备食物。

已经精疲力尽的士兵们勉强填了一下肚子,就沉沉的睡去,唯有马西亚斯辗转反侧,难以入眠:锡拉库扎发生暴乱的消息让他非常的担忧锡拉库扎城外原雇佣军那些村庄的状况,毕竟卡塔奈雇佣兵村庄的惨状让他暗自警醒,但愿留守村庄的那几百名雇佣兵能够守住他们的家园!等到明天他率军赶回锡拉库扎时,暴乱已经过去了一天多的时间,在这一天多的时间里能够发生很多的事,如果真让暴乱分子占领了全城,那么他们这些与狄奥尼修斯有亲密关系的雇佣兵恐怕都将会遭到驱逐,成为无家可归之人。但愿菲利斯托斯大人能够平息暴乱,即使不能平息,也要控制和坚守住部分城区,等待他的援军到来!Worried that Syracusematter, heworried how shouldleadthistroop safetyto return toSyracuse. Goes toMeiyatime, heleads the army, alongsmoothcoasttonorth, wayTyndaris, detoursLeontiumto recruit the army, thenpasses throughCatania, finallyarrives atCooley, cansay that hescreened outthesecity-statedefense strengths, gave the insurgentopportunity, causing the large-scaleriotto happen.
担忧完锡拉库扎的事,他又担忧起该如何率领这支部队安全返回锡拉库扎。前往梅亚罗的时候,他带领军队,沿着平坦的海岸向北,途径陶尼斯,又绕道列奥提尼征召部队,接着又途经卡塔奈,最终到达西库利,可以说正是他一路抽走了这些城邦的防御力量,才给予了叛乱分子机会,导致了大规模的暴乱发生。Butnowdoes not regretthistime, perhapsfromtoday'ssituation, Cataniais occupiedby the insurgentthoroughly, howotherwiseto have the ample forceto send the armyto go out of townto attackthem. Even ifCooleyhad not been seizedcompletely, butTheonianis so nearfromit, falling to the enemywill besooner or latermatter. The Leontiumpersonwas outmigratedhalf ofpopulationbyDionysiusforcefully, the person who leaves behindperhapshas been resentfulaboutSyracuse, undersuchtrend, does not need the freeman and slaverebels, hiscitizenautomaticis overthrown the overstepping authoritylord who props upbySirDionysius, thereforeMatthiasdoes not favorownSyracuseLeontiumperson to resistthisriot.
但现在不是后悔这个的时候,从今天的情况来看,卡塔奈恐怕已经彻底被暴乱分子占据,不然怎么会有余力派军队出城袭击他们。西库利即使没有被完全占领,但戴奥尼亚人距离它那么近,失陷是早晚的事。列奥提尼人被狄奥尼修斯强行迁走了一半人口,留下的人对锡拉库扎恐怕早就心怀怨恨,在这样的趋势下,根本无需自由民和奴隶反叛,其公民就会自动的起来推翻由狄奥尼修斯大人扶植的僭主,因此马西阿斯并不看好亲锡拉库扎的列奥提尼人能够抵抗住这一场暴乱。ToTyndaris, Matthiashassomeconfidenceactually, becauseTyndarisis the Syracuseattachedallied country, has never had the betrayal, hasto the overstepping authoritylord of proppromptlydiscontentedly, shouldnot attack the Syracusearmyrashly. Let alonein the Tyndarisharboris also anchoring the Syracusefleet that is repulsedfrom the NaxosGulf, hastheirhelp, even ifTyndarishas the riot, the successfulpossibilitywill not be big.
倒是对陶尼斯,马西阿斯有一些信心,因为陶尼斯一直是锡拉库扎的附属盟邦,从未有过背叛,及时对扶植的僭主有所不满,应该也不会贸然袭击锡拉库扎的军队。更何况陶尼斯的港口内还停泊着从纳克索斯海湾败退下来的锡拉库扎舰队,有他们的帮助,陶尼斯即使有暴乱,成功的可能性也不会太大。Therefore, Matthiasmakes the decisionfinally: Tomorrow after embarking, the teamgoes roundCatania, avoids the Leontiumperson'spossibleattack, then side travels by sea, afterTyndaris, arrives atSyracusefinally...... thisis a hundred-milelongdistance, is full ofmanyunknown risks, buttohurry back toSyracuseas soon as possible, he can only take risk. Otherwisefor security, he can definitely the coast, butdetourswestLeontiumalmostnot to have the mountainous area of habitation, althoughtheremountain ridge is not quite high, but the pathruggeddifficultline, to slow the traveling schedulewithout doubt . Moreover the grain is also a majorproblem......
因此,马西亚斯最终做出决定:明天出发后,队伍绕开卡塔奈,避开列奥提尼人可能的袭击,然后走海边,经过陶尼斯,最后到达锡拉库扎……这是一个长达百里的漫长路程,其中充满很多未知风险,但为了尽早赶回锡拉库扎,他只能冒这个险了。否则为了安全,他完全可以不走海岸,而绕道走列奥提尼西侧几乎没有人烟的山区,虽然那里的山岭并不太高,但道路崎岖难行,无疑会拖慢行程,而且粮食也是一个大问题……Matthias thought that unable to resistfinallyis strandedintentto fall asleep......马西阿斯想了很多,最终抵挡不住困意而进入梦乡…….......................................
…………………………………Next day, late in the morning, was actually still awakenedby the guardinhim of sleeping soundly, knows that was the big dealinthese days that oneselfare too fond of sleep: In the morningwakes up, the soldiersdiscovered that lostdozenshorses . Moreover the resident in village was also short of the larger part, the soldiersnaturallysuspicionis the good deed that the resident in villagedoes, the villagers who angrytheywill not have escapedimmediatelyseize the interrogation, the formermercenary who during this processhas restored the energyslips back into old ways, robs, rapesandslaughters...... theminfollowingDionysiusconquersin the Sicilyprocess, some most commonwickedmattersreappearedinthisvillage.
第二天,日上三竿,却还在酣睡的他被卫兵叫醒,才知道在自己贪睡的这段时间出了大事:早晨醒来的时候,士兵们发现丢失了几十匹马,而且村庄的居民也少了一大半,士兵们当然怀疑是村庄的居民干的好事,愤怒的他们立刻将还未逃跑的村民都抓捕起来审问,在此过程中已经恢复精力的前雇佣兵故态复萌,抢劫、强奸、杀戮……他们在跟随狄奥尼修斯征服西西里的过程中,最常见的一些恶事在这个村庄重现了。Thisarousedin the team the disaffection and angers of some Cataniamercenaries, becausethisis the village that isthemto have jurisdiction over. both sidesclash, finally the angryCarlTanneurmercenaryleft the team, entirearmypopulationsharp declineto3000people.
这激起了队伍中少部分卡塔纳雇佣兵的不满和愤怒,因为这是属于他们管辖的村庄。双方爆发冲突,终于愤怒的卡尔塔纳雇佣兵离开了队伍,整个军队人数锐减至3000人。Facing such delicateaspect, Matthiasis also helpless, evenhethinks: Does not have the Cataniapersonto hold back, theirmarching speedswill be faster, the food consumptionwill also reduce, did not needto considerotherannoyingissues. Althoughtheyonce the compatriotfromCampania, beforetodayare the allies of fighting side-by-side, has the profoundfriendship, nowis faced with imminent disaster , can only attend torespectivelyvarious.
面对这样棘手的局面,马西阿斯也无能为力,甚至他认为:没有卡塔奈人拖后腿,他们的行军速度会更快些,粮食消耗也会减少,更不用考虑其他烦人的问题了。尽管他们都曾是来自坎帕尼亚的同胞,在今天之前还一直是并肩作战的战友,有着深厚的友谊,现在大难临头,也只能各顾各了。Matthiascommanded the soldiersto search to plunderin the villageallfood, thenimmediately.马西阿斯命令士兵们搜掠了村庄里所有的食物,然后立刻出发。Underurging of Matthias, thisalmost the teams of more than 3000peoplecomprised of the Syracuseformermercenariescitizenwithreturns toSyracuse and expectation of securityhomelandas soon as possible, is hasty.
在马西阿斯的督促下,这支几乎都是由锡拉库扎的前雇佣军公民组成的3000多人的队伍怀着尽快返回锡拉库扎、保卫家园的期望,仓促出发。Theymarchestosoutheaston the way, oftenbumps into3322routed troops, Matthiasseizes the chanceto receivein the teamthem.
他们向东南方向行军的途中,不时碰到三三两两的溃兵,马西阿斯趁机将他们都收入队伍中。Simultaneouslythisteamalsosufferedspying on manymounted scoutsquads, Matthiaswhilesending out the cavalrydrives away, urged that the soldierspick up the marching speed.
同时这支队伍也遭受了多只侦骑小队的窥探,马西阿斯在派出骑兵驱赶的同时,催促士兵们加快行军速度。Hispremonitionfulfilled. Catches up with a 700-800people of teamfrom the northeastquickly, theyhave not put on the armorandhandwith the bow and arrow and javelin, the actionrapidlaunches the long-distanceattackto the Matthiasteam.
他的预感应验了。很快从东北面赶来一支700-800人的队伍,他们没穿盔甲、手拿弓箭和标枪,行动迅速的对马西阿斯的队伍进行远程攻击。Matthias is almost certain the enemy came from Catania, hequicklycommands the soldiersto attack.马西阿斯几乎可以肯定敌人来自卡塔奈,他急忙命令士兵们出击。But when the Syracusesoldierlaunches the formation, startsto attack, thesecome from the Catanialight infantriesactuallyto retreat. When the Syracusesoldierrestores the column formation , to continue to march, theyappear.
但当锡拉库扎士兵展开队形、开始进攻时,这些来自卡塔奈的轻步兵们却撤退了。可等到锡拉库扎士兵恢复纵队队形、继续行军之时,他们又出现了。Soseveraltimes, Matthiasunderstoodrepeatedly: The Cataniarebel armywantsto attack itself, butdoes not wantto conduct positive/directbattletruly.
如此反复几次,马西阿斯明白了:卡塔奈叛军只是想袭击自己,而并非真正想要进行正面的厮杀。HoweverMatthiasimpossible, no matter, the javelin and arrow that arrowotherwiseshootwill claim the life of soldierunceasingly, devastatesthemoriginally not the highfighting spirit, more than 50cavalries who thereforehewill only remainandabout500light infantriesarrangein the teamtail, in order toresist the attack of enemy. Butheactuallydoes not permit the soldiersexcessivelyto pursue, becauselike thisnot onlyconsumes the physical strength, but also is separated from the large unit, easilyto ambush, nowarmyonly then a goal- goes home.
但是马西阿斯又不可能不管,否则射来的标枪和箭矢会不断的夺走士兵的生命,摧残他们本就不高的斗志,所以他将仅剩的50多名骑兵和近500名轻步兵安排在队尾,以便能对抗敌人的袭击。但他却又不准士兵们过度追击,因为这样不但消耗体力,而且脱离大部队、容易中埋伏,现在全军只有一个目标-回家。
The Syracusearmyhitsto stop from time to time, towent out of the Cataniaplainin the afternoon, the fronttopographystartsto squeeze, the east sideis the sea, the west sideis the mountain ridge, the middleis the widthis less than a fiveli (0.5 km)smoothseashorecorridor.锡拉库扎军队打打停停,到了下午才走出卡塔尼亚平原,前方地势开始收窄,东边是大海,西边是山岭,中间是宽度不到五里的一条平坦的海边走廊。Matthiaswas worried the appearance of Leontiumrebel army, whatrejoicedisnot, moreoverpossiblyisbecausetopographylimited the mobility of Cataniarebel armynarrowly, thereforetheydo not haveto continuebehind the teamto make a harassing attackagain, thishelped the Syracusesoldiersfinallyto relax.马西阿斯原本担心列奥提尼叛军的出现,庆幸的是并没有,而且可能是因为地势的狭窄限制了卡塔纳叛军的机动性,所以他们没有再继续在队伍后面袭扰,这使得锡拉库扎士兵们终于可以松口气了。
The Syracusearmysped up the marchingfootsteps, becausebeyondtenli (0.5 km)is the Tyndariscity.锡拉库扎军队加快了行军脚步,因为十里之外就是陶尼斯城。

等到陶尼斯城引入眼帘之后,以为逃脱大难的锡拉库扎溃兵赫然看到:在陶尼斯城北面不远,他们的前方有一只4,000-5,000人的部队排列着整齐的方阵,封锁住了这条海边走廊,大部分士兵那全黑的盔甲让他们刚刚还兴奋的心情陡然堕落谷底:是戴奥尼亚人!是戴奥利亚的军团!!他们怎么会赶到了我们前面?!!…….......................................
…………………………………Yesterday'sonestruggled hard, finishedbecause ofbeing repulsed of Syracusearmy.
昨天的一场苦战,因为锡拉库扎军队的败退而结束。While the Theoniafirstregimentpursues, AndongriAwesalsofinallysawmessenger who AntrasPolissends, afterknowing„Cataniahad been attacked and occupied, Syracuseriotsuccess”news, Antoniosrelaxesfinally: The firstregimentpaid the price, stands firminSicilyfinally.
在戴奥尼亚第一军团追击的同时,安东里奥斯也终于见到了安特拉波里斯派来的信使,在得知“卡塔奈已被攻占、锡拉库扎暴乱成功”的消息后,安东尼奥斯终于松了口气:第一军团付出了代价,总算是在西西里站稳了脚跟。However when likes, hecannotputwith ease, becauseAntrasPolishopes: The firstregimentcaninterceptSyracusethearmy, toavoidthemreturning toSyracuse, brings very bigvariableto the riotaction of Syracuse.
但是欢喜之余,他也不能放轻松,因为安特拉波里斯希望:第一军团能够截住锡拉库扎的这支军队,以避免他们回返锡拉库扎,给锡拉库扎的暴乱行动带来很大的变数。To be honest, Antoniosreallydoes not wantto obeythissecret agentchief'sadvice, althoughthisfight, the firstregimentwonfinally, but about thousandpeople of casualties, severalseniorteamofficerssacrificed, hisclose comradeCidalsoremains unconscious, the firstregimenteruptsbefore the war8000people( excludingauxiliary troops) sincefight, onlyremainsabout4000people, the populationsharply fellhalf ofmuch, put in the hugesacrifice, according totruthtrulythis/shouldrecuperationsupplemented, but the environmentdoes not permitnow . Moreover the dangerhas not passedcompletely, diligentlyto the presenton the differencethislaststep..
说实话,安东尼奥斯真不想听从这位密探头子的建议,虽然这一场战斗,第一军团最终胜利了,但是将近千人的死伤,好几名高级队官牺牲,就连他的亲密战友茨皮特也昏迷不醒,第一军团从战争爆发前的8000人(不包括辅助部队)战斗至今,也仅剩近4000人,人数锐减了一半多,付出了巨大的牺牲,按道理确实该休整补充了,但现在所处的环境不允许,而且危险并未完全过去,努力到现在就差这最后一步。Antoniosnaturallydoes not hope the expedition of firstregiment, becausethistimebursts the armyto return toSyracuseto fall short, „the Theoniaregimentafterdefeating must always whilewinning the pursuit” the customlethimonlyreluctantlyto agree withAntrasPolis'ssuggestion: With the Cataniajoint operations, thoroughly the Syracusearmyeliminatesat the return tripon the way of!安东尼奥斯当然不希望第一军团的远征因为这次溃军逃回锡拉库扎而功亏一篑,“戴奥尼亚军团在战胜之后一向是要趁胜追击到底”的习惯让他只能勉强同意了安特拉波里斯的建议:与卡塔奈联合行动,彻底将锡拉库扎军队消灭在回程的途中!Packs off the messenger, after Antonioswas pondered, rushes to the harbor, the sailors of Theoniafleetis delivering the warship the refugeefamily.
送走信使,安东尼奥斯经过沉思后赶到港口,戴奥尼亚舰队的水手们正在将流亡者家眷送下战船。AntoniossawquicklyreplacesFratRios who Sekriancommands the fleet, afterdiscussion, FratRiosagreed: The fleetdoes not return toRhegion, butpasses the nightinMeiya, so thatnext dayearlierparticipationmilitary action.安东尼奥斯很快见到了代替塞克利安统领舰队的弗拉里奥斯,经过商议之后,弗拉里奥斯同意:舰队不返回利吉姆,而在梅亚罗过夜,以便第二天更早的参与军事行动。Meiyaharbordoes not have the naval port, without the dry dockanchoringwarship, thismeans that the warship of Theoniafleet can only push up the beach, thisneedsto take very bigrisk. In the pastin the sheeprivercampaign the Athensfleetwiped outbyLaishanvirtue, the most mainreasonis the Athenswarshipparksin the sand beach, when was attackedsimplydid not have the timeto go to sea......
梅亚罗港口没有军港,没有干船坞停泊战船,这就意味着戴奥尼亚舰队的战船只能推上海滩,这需要冒很大的风险。当年羊河战役中雅典舰队之所以被莱山德全歼,其中最主要的一个原因就是雅典的战船都停放在沙滩上,遭到突袭时根本没时间下海……Therefore, FratRiosleads the sailorswith the help of refugeepeople, the warship11beaches, thenset up the strictsentry post, andrequests the sentry in lighthouseto monitor the sea levelclosely, arrangesallexpress steamers, whole eveninggoes on patrolinGulfin turn......
为此,弗拉里奥斯带领水手们在流亡者民众的帮助下,将战船一一拖上海滩,然后设立了严密的岗哨,并要求灯塔的哨兵密切监视海面,又安排所有的快船,整晚轮流在海湾里巡逻……
