As general, who does not want to strive for the victory, if can attack and occupy west Syracuse this thoroughly Mediterranean first Greek city-state, the score of this glory not only will make Antonios win the Theonia people to focus attention on, will make the entire Greek world exclaim in surprise when the time comes also who teased him by that the secret agent director was successful. 作为一名将领,谁不想夺取胜利,如果能彻底攻占锡拉库扎这座西地中海的第一希腊城邦,这荣耀的战绩不但会使安东尼奥斯赢得戴奥尼亚民众瞩目,也会让整个希腊世界惊叹,到时候还会有谁取笑他是受密探指挥才获得的成功。 Antras Polis saw his thoughts, hesitant moment, said: „Sir Antonios, I hopes that......, I did not suggest the first regiment temporarily do not go south, enters the Syracuse territory.” 安特拉波里斯看出了他的心思,犹豫了片刻,说道:“安东尼奥斯大人,我希望……哦不,我建议第一军团暂时不要南下,进入锡拉库扎的领地。” „?” Antonios shot a look at his one eyes, although this saying makes feel disgruntled in enthusiasm him, but he knows that has taken root in such long time, to raise the Anter Rabaut Lisken fixed ratio of this giant riot in Sicily he to know here situation, therefore he asked one modestly: „Why?” “哦？”安东尼奥斯瞥了他一眼,尽管这话让在兴头上的他感到不悦,但他知道已经在西西里扎根了这么久时间、能掀起这一场巨大暴乱的安特拉波里斯肯定比他要了解这里的情况,因此他还是虚心的问了一句:“为什么？” „The Syracuse person has characteristics. They in the peaceful and stable period, will repel ambitious any, have the politician of powerful rallying point, chooses the mediocre democracies of many people ; But once meets the danger and faced with the destruction time, will choose the strong person, to accept the dictatorship voluntarily......” Antras Polis serious saying: „ Moreover Syracuse takes Sicily, even the entire west Mediterranean first Magna Graecia city-state many years, his citizen often takes this as arrogantly, enters its territory regarding any foreign land army is very sensitive! Before prepared to mobilize riot the officials of Syracuse to reject me and my subordinate enters in the city, to assist their requests, feared that by the people was discovered, caused their repugnance , has to us vigilantly. “锡拉库扎人有一个特点。他们在和平安宁的时期,会排斥任何有野心、有强大号召力的政客,选择多人的平庸民主;可一旦遇上危险、面临覆灭的时候,就会自愿选择强人、接受独裁……”安特拉波里斯神情严肃的说道:“而且锡拉库扎作为西西里、甚至整个西地中海第一大希腊城邦多年,其公民常以此为傲,对于任何异邦军队进入其领地都是非常敏感的！之前准备发动暴乱的锡拉库扎的官员们就拒绝了我和我的手下进入城内、协助他们的要求,就是怕被民众发现后引起他们的反感,同时也是对我们有着警惕。 Sir Antonios, if the first regiment appears under the Syracuse city, the Syracuse people in riot will not regard as the reinforcements us, but extremely possibly regards as the enemy! Dionysius if hand/subordinate seizes the chance to instigate, may make the Dionysius influence be in power very much, jointly copes with us!...... ” 安东尼奥斯大人,如果第一军团出现在锡拉库扎城下,暴乱中的锡拉库扎民众不会把我们视作援军,而极可能视为敌人！狄奥尼修斯的手下如果趁机从中挑拨的话,很有可能让狄奥尼修斯的势力重新掌权,共同对付我们！……” Antonios ponder long time: Before coming, he has a basic understanding of the situation in Syracuse city, Syracuse is not the Cooley like this small cities, it is said the giant cities of 400,000 population, if really such as Antras Polis said, oneself these several thousand people of pasts, want while to attack and occupy the Syracuse city hand/subordinate randomly at one fell swoop, completely ended this war, not only not possibly, but also are possibly annihilated! 安东尼奥斯沉思良久:来之前他对锡拉库扎城的情况有一个基本的了解,锡拉库扎可不是西库利这样的小城镇,据说是有40万人口的巨大城市,如果真如安特拉波里斯所说,自己手下这几千人过去,想趁乱一举攻占锡拉库扎城,彻底结束这场战争,不但没有可能,而且还可能全军覆没！ Antonios looks to the soldiers who in the battlefield pursue bursts the enemy: From landing Sicily until now, they are fighting the life and death for three days, can have today's victorious outcome is how is not easy! As legatus, he must lead them to enjoy the victory the honor, rather than falls into the unknowable danger...... 安东尼奥斯望向正在战场上追击溃敌的士兵们:从登陆西西里到如今,一连三天他们都在与生死搏斗,能够有今天的胜利成果是何其的不容易！作为军团长,他要带他们去享受胜利的荣光,而不是陷入不可知的危险之中…… Thinks of these, Antonios said slowly: „What do you have to suggest?” 想到这些,安东尼奥斯缓缓说道:“你有什么建议？” The Antras Polis's and others is his these words, is busy at saying: „The Syracuse riot best do not stand still, making them kill one another, exhaustes Syracuse own strength, is good to other our Theonia and to Sicily city-state!” Once was Antras Polis of Catania person revealed at this time the hatred to Syracuse, hating the sound saying: „However while the Syracuse civil strife time, we should make the best use of the time to make Cooley, Catania, Leontium, have-” 安特拉波利斯等的就是他这句话,忙说道:“锡拉库扎的暴乱最好一直都不要停歇,让他们自相残杀,消耗锡拉库扎自身的实力,对我们戴奥尼亚、对西西里的其它城邦都有好处！”曾经是卡塔奈人的安特拉波里斯这时才流露出对锡拉库扎的痛恨,恨声说道:“而趁锡拉库扎内乱的时候,我们应该抓紧时间让西库利、卡塔奈、列奥提尼、还有-” Antras Polis is pointing at Tyndaris of not far away: „Makes these city-state regain the order, and approves our Theonia hegemon position. Your majesty gives in my letter to mention previous time, ‚the Catania plain, a more fertile plain( mainly has trass) compared with the Sybaris plain length and breadth, he wants to make Theonia directly manage this region as far as possible’......” 安特拉波里斯指着不远处的陶尼斯:“让这些城邦都重新恢复秩序,并认同我们戴奥尼亚的盟主地位。陛下上一次给我的来信中就提到,‘卡塔尼亚平原是比绪巴里平原更广袤、更肥沃的平原(主要有火山土),他希望尽可能让戴奥尼亚直接管理这片区域’……” Listened to this saying, Antonios to hold breath a cold air: How he is still concentrating on beats the powerful enemy, Davos has actually been considering how to annex this land, is this disparity between he and Davos?! 听完这话,安东尼奥斯倒吸了口凉气:他还在专注于如何击败强敌,戴弗斯却已经在考虑如何吞并这块土地,难道这就是他和戴弗斯之间的差距？！ Looks at shocking Antonios, Antras Polis is also not quiet. Just saw in the Davos letter/believes to disclose when the meaning, Antras Polis also felt that some were uncomfortable. After all he once was the Catania person, he has hoped was Catania can overthrow the puppet rule of Syracuse, the refugees can return the homeland, but has not actually thought must make Catania accept the rule of another strong presence again, although this influence now is his respective country. 看着震惊的安东尼奥斯,安特拉波里斯心里同样不平静。刚看到戴弗斯信中所透露出的这个意思时,安特拉波里斯自己还感到有些不舒服。毕竟他曾是卡塔奈人,他一直盼望的就是卡塔奈能推翻锡拉库扎的傀儡统治,流亡者们能重新回到家园,但却从没想到过要让卡塔奈再去接受另一个强大势力的统治,尽管这个势力现在已经是他所属的国家。 Also as Davos writes has the Aristias letter/believes that the letter one and sends. In the letter/believes, his Elder Brother said: „ Even if Catania, Leontium and other city-state can gain the independence in this war, but facing Syracuse, Carthage, they are small and weak, unavoidably in the future will also be hit by the same disaster. But once belongs to under the rule of Theonia, the Catania security had the safeguard . Moreover the regime by Theonia currently practicing, the Qatar People do not need to be worried to be oppressed, will have more political rights...... 但是随着戴弗斯所写信件一并送来的还有阿里斯提拉斯的信。在信中,他哥哥说道:“即使卡塔奈、列奥提尼等城邦能够在这一场战争中获得独立,但无论是面对锡拉库扎、还是迦太基,它们都过于弱小,难免将来还会遭到同样的灾难。可一旦归于戴奥尼亚的统治下,卡塔奈的安全就有了保障,而且以戴奥尼亚现在实行的政体,卡塔尔民众也不用担心受到压迫,也会有更多的政治权利…… My younger brother, what is more important, from this war present advancement, defeat of Syracuse is the affirmation, although Theonia put in the huge sacrifice, but will obtain a lot of lands! In the future your majesty will most have a headache did not obtain too many cities, but how to obtain more people to fill up the Magna Graecia idle land, therefore the Catania plain will be impossible to have too Theonia to immigrate, the original Catania person will be the actual master in hometown, will be in certain position in the political arena of Theonia. 我的弟弟,更重要的是,从这一场战争现在的进程来看,锡拉库扎的战败是肯定的,戴奥尼亚虽然付出了巨大的牺牲,但将会获得大量的土地！陛下将来最头疼的不是获得了太多的城镇,而是如何获得更多的民众来填满大希腊空余的土地,因此卡塔尼亚平原不可能会有太多戴奥尼亚移民,原来的卡塔奈人将会是家乡的真正主人,也会在戴奥尼亚的政坛上占据一定的地位。 But you as the original Catania person, now are the Theonia citizen, in Sicily over six months ambush time, earned the approvals and respect of many refugee, if you want to take part in government after the war, inevitably in Catania will integrate in the Theonia process, will play the huge role! But you will have a brighter future!...... ” 而你作为原卡塔奈人,现在又是戴奥尼亚公民,在西西里半年多的潜伏时间里,又获得了众多流亡者的认同和尊重,如果你要在战后从政的话,必然将在卡塔奈融入戴奥尼亚的过程中,发挥巨大的作用！而你也将会有更光明的前途！……” After Antras Polis read the letter/believes, at that time quite moves, now after receiving the stimulation of Antonios, he first time is felt oneself to obtaining „the Theonia senior statesman” this name so urgently, therefore he to „makes Catania merge into Theonia” the matter not only does not resist, but also decides to facilitate with every effort! 安特拉波里斯当时读完信后颇为动心,现在受了安东尼奥斯的刺激后,他更是第一次感到自己对获得“戴奥利亚元老”这一称呼是如此的迫切,所以他对“让卡塔奈并入戴奥尼亚”之事不但不抗拒,而且下决心要尽力促成！ „South these city-state what to do?” Antonios slightly has unwillingly asked one. “南面的那些城邦怎么办？”安东尼奥斯略有不甘的问了一句。 „Southeast Sicily these city-state and Syracuse are the union, the relations have been close. Even if they are overthrown the overstepping authority lord who props up by Dionysius, their friendly relations with the Syracuse will not have the big change, we enter rashly, will only urge them to depend to approach Syracuse!” Antras Polis carefully analyzes the conclusion that draws 11 to tell the six months to Antonios: „As for looking like Gela and city-state of Agrigento these south coasts, your majesty hopes and them maintains the friendly relations, has not wanted to make them join the meaning of Theonia union, in order to avoid causes Carthage vigilant and discontented......” “西西里东南角的那些城邦与锡拉库扎一直都是同盟,关系密切。就算他们推翻由狄奥尼修斯扶植起来的僭主,他们同锡拉库扎的友好关系也不会有大的改变,我们贸然进入,只会促使他们更加靠向锡拉库扎！”安特拉波里斯将自己半年来认真分析得出的结论一一讲述给安东尼奥斯:“至于象杰拉、阿格里真托这些南海岸的城邦,陛下希望和他们保持友好关系,没有想要让他们加入戴奥尼亚同盟的意思,以免引起迦太基的警惕和不满……” Antonios nod looking pensive: „It seems like can make the brothers rest well.” 安东尼奥斯若有所思的点头:“看来可以让兄弟们好好休息一下了。” ....................................... ………………………………… In the Corinth Les Cayes old man port, as the occupier, in some Ami Claye people by the Peloponnese allied armies of Sparta command must act according to the custom, returns to the hometown to be held permits A Cento the ( Hyacinthus ) celebration. 在科林斯的莱凯翁港,作为占领者,由斯巴达统帅的伯罗奔尼撒联军中部分阿米克莱人要根据风俗,返回家乡举行许阿琴托斯(Hyacinthus)庆典。 Considering these soldiers on the way of the return trip must after the Corinth city, for safely, to demonstrate regarding as important of Sparta to allied armies, at this moment was high-spirited Agesilaus sends out 300 Sparta rewiring infantries to escort them to go home. 考虑到这些士兵在回程途中要经过科林斯城,为了安全、也为了显示斯巴达对盟军的看重,此刻正是意气风发的阿格西劳斯派出了300名斯巴达重装步兵护送他们回家。 When this only escorts the army to deliver to the western Ji'ang Ami Claye person, then careless return harbor, when passing through the Corinth city wall next, General Athens Iphicrates leads his light infantry to run out of the city gate, launched the attack to them. 当这只护送部队将阿米克莱人送到西吉昂,然后漫不经心的返回港口,在途经科林斯城墙下时,雅典将军伊菲克拉特斯率领他的轻步兵冲出城门,向他们发动了进攻。 The Sparta infantry who wears heavy armor accepts battle in haste although, but they not, because the population are too few and timid war, instead thinks that this annihilates the golden opportunity of Corinth City Garrison troops, therefore boldly thrusts forward to accept a challenge. 身穿重甲的斯巴达步兵尽管是仓促应战,但他们并不因为人数太少而怯战,反而认为这是歼灭科林斯城守军的大好机会,于是挺身应战。 However the Athens light infantry does not make near body fight with them, but uses the facility of body, spreads out with the Sparta person, the javelin throw, launches the long-distance attack. 然而雅典轻步兵不与他们作近身搏斗,而是利用身体的轻便,与斯巴达人拉开距离,投掷标枪,进行远程攻击。 The Sparta soldier charges repeatedly, is actually not able to approach the enemy, instead consumed own physical strength in the movement. But in javelin rain that everywhere dances in the air, the teammates were hit to fall to the ground by the javelin unceasingly...... 斯巴达士兵多次冲锋,却无法靠近敌人,反而在运动中消耗了自己的体力。而在漫天飞舞的标枪雨中,队友们不断被标枪击中倒地…… Such forms of combat make the braveness of Sparta soldier unable to obtain a display, makes the soldiers be subject to the moan of teammate suffers. After fighting for one hour, the fighting spirit of Sparta person fell the valley, „regarded dead in battle for the honor, regarded to escape for shame” Sparta soldier unexpectedly turn tail. 这样的战斗方式让斯巴达士兵的勇武得不到一点发挥,却让士兵们在队友的呻吟声中备受折磨。在战斗了一个小时之后,斯巴达人的斗志降到了谷底,“视战死为荣誉、视逃跑为耻辱”的斯巴达战士竟然转身逃跑了。 They but who, wear heavy armor how possibly run the light infantry, finally almost wiped out by Athenians. 可是,身穿重甲的他们又怎么可能跑得过轻步兵,结果几乎被雅典人全歼。 When the fight ended, Athenians cannot believe that this is real, Iphicrates and his army harvested from this self-confidently. 当战斗结束时,连雅典人自己都不敢相信这是真的,伊菲克拉特斯和他的部队由此收获了自信。 After this victory rapidly spreads over the anti- Sparta union, the people that the been defeated fear covers erupted warm cheering. Although this is only not a big fight, about 300 heavy infantries who may be eliminated are the true Sparta citizens, the entire Sparta 3,000-4,000 capable citizens( do not calculate that shields a native of As , Spain and Helots), the Sparta person invincible myth was broken, making all vacillations city-state boost the confidence of resistance, obscure Iphicrates also from this was previously prestigious. 而当这一场胜利迅速传遍反斯巴达同盟后,正在被失败的恐惧笼罩的民众爆发出了热情的欢呼。虽然这只是一场不大的战斗,可被消灭的近300名重步兵是真真正正的斯巴达公民,整个斯巴达也不过3,000-4,000精壮公民而已(不算庇西阿斯人和黑劳士),斯巴达人不可战胜的神话被打破,让所有动摇的城邦重新坚定起反抗的信心,此前默默无闻的伊菲克拉特斯也由此声名大噪。 When the news passes to the Sparta allied armies, Agesilaus is leading the envoy who the arrogance of victor is receiving the Thebes summation, and set very harsh request. At this time received this message, during his arrogance turned into the annoying, entire army instantaneously also fell into was sad. 当消息传到斯巴达联军时,阿格西劳斯正带着胜利者的傲慢接待底比斯求和的使者,并提出了非常苛刻的要求。这时接收到这个消息,他的傲慢瞬间变成了懊恼,整个军队也陷入了悲伤之中。 The Thebes envoy hears the news, left the Sparta camp rapidly, did not propose and incident. 底比斯使者闻讯,迅速离开了斯巴达的营地,再也不提议和一事。 How in Agesilaus is racking one's brains for the soldier of dying took revenge and revives the prestige of Sparta army, Iphicrates has not satisfied this victory, after two days of preparations, he led the light infantry army to take the Athens warship, bypassed north the isthmus, attacked by clone Lyon that the Sparta person occupied, still caused heavy losses to the garrison troops with the same tactic again, recaptured to clone Lyon. 就在阿格西劳斯苦思着如何为死去的战士复仇、重振斯巴达军队的威名之时,伊菲克拉特斯并没有满足于这一场胜利,在经过两天的准备之后,他率领轻步兵部队乘坐雅典的战船,绕过地峡北端,突袭了被斯巴达人占领的克隆里昂,依然是用相同的战术再次重创守军,夺回克隆里昂。
