Dionysius saw when the enemy who black helmet black armor to/clashes, at heart on cool half. At this moment sees the situation is not wonderful, immediately sounds the bugle to retreat. 狄奥尼修斯看到黑盔黑甲的敌人冲上来时,心里就凉了一半。此刻见形势不妙,当即吹号撤退。 Antonios considered that the soldiers march, the physical strength has not been restored, has not ordered to pursue, but makes the army rest. 安东尼奥斯考虑到士兵们一路行军,体力还没得到恢复,没有下令追击,而是让部队就地歇息。 Escapes from Herolis of disaster to see that the Theonia soldier takes off the armor, is eating the grain ration, while sits lies rests on the land of Syracuse city, in the heart is five senses mixed Chen. 逃脱大难的赫罗利斯看到戴奥尼亚士兵脱掉盔甲,一边吃着口粮,一边坐卧在锡拉库扎城区的土地上休息,心中是五味杂陈。 But how no matter in the heart to think, at this moment on his face has been revealing the smile, said to Antonios grateful: „Apollo blesses! Thank the prompt aid of your Theonia! Without you, we sacrificed the life is the minor matter, Syracuse will be occupied by extremely evil Dionysius, this to the Syracuse people, to with Theonia that Dionysius battles, will be a disaster!” 但不管心中怎么想,此刻他脸上一直显露着笑容,感激地对安东尼奥斯说道:“阿波罗庇佑！感谢你们戴奥尼亚的及时援助！如果没有你们,我们牺牲生命是小事,锡拉库扎却会被万恶的狄奥尼修斯重新占据,这对锡拉库扎的民众、对正在与狄奥尼修斯作战的戴奥尼亚来说,都将是一场灾难！” Antonios proposed in Herolis words meaning, he not only has not haggled over, instead earnest reply: „Dionysius is the manufacturer of war, yearned the Theonia people and Syracuse who People peace do not hope he has the power, to provoke the war again, I lead troops to come to here, only then a goal- expels Syracuse him, but how next should do, we listen to your opinions.” 安东尼奥斯提出了赫罗利斯话中之意,他不但没有计较,反而认真的回答:“狄奥尼修斯是战争的制造者,向往和平的戴奥尼亚民众和锡拉库扎民众都不希望他再掌握权力、挑起战争,我带兵来这里只有一个目的-将他驱逐出锡拉库扎,而下一步该怎么做,我们听从你们的意见。” The Antonios low attitude makes Herolis and the others relax, therefore the response of Herolis became simply many: „General, I hope that you can lead your army, helping us recapture the main city that Dionysius seizes.” 安东尼奥斯的低姿态让赫罗利斯等人松了口气,所以赫罗利斯的回应就变得干脆多了:“将军,我希望你能够带领你的部队,帮助我们夺回狄奥尼修斯占领的主城区。” Antonios complies with the request of Herolis immediately, after letting the soldiers take a short break, immediately to the city sets out. 安东尼奥斯当即答应赫罗利斯的请求,让士兵们稍事休息之后,就立刻向城区东南方进发。 In fact, this time Dionysius has led the mercenary to raise the Guillat island to retreat to mysterious. When saw that the Theonia regiment soldiers appear, he knows that his army is unable to resist in a short time. 实际上,此时的狄奥尼修斯已经带领雇佣兵向奥提吉亚岛撤退了。在看到戴奥尼亚军团士兵出现的时候,他就知道他的军队在短时间内无法抵御。 He has not thought that the Theonia reinforcements will come such rapidness, has regretted at heart: Last night in knowing Herolis and the others beat his pursuit army after Hepie Vorley high ground, should not stem from safely, was busy organizing the slave soldier, to split up the Herolis army, this flower he a lot of precious time. But should lead the complete mercenary to go to Hepie Vorley immediately, first thoroughly eliminates Herolis and the others, occupies the Syracuse north city wall, stops up path that Theonian goes south! 他没想到戴奥尼亚援军会来得如此之快,心里一直后悔:昨晚在得知赫罗利斯等人在埃皮波莱高地击溃了他的追击部队后,就不应该出于稳妥,忙着去组织奴隶兵、分化赫罗利斯的部队,这花去了他不少宝贵的时间。而应该立刻率领全部雇佣兵前往埃皮波莱,先彻底消灭赫罗利斯等人,占据锡拉库扎的北城墙,堵住戴奥尼亚人南下的通路！ Now regretted that the Dionysius discrete character had caused the final failure late, the victory that will soon win shortly spat in an instant, in his heart in the extreme regrets. 现在后悔已经晚了,狄奥尼修斯谨慎的性格导致了最终的失败,眼看即将获胜的胜利转眼又吐了出去,他心中懊悔得无以复加。 Antonios leads the army to go forward fast, he soon realized that perhaps the broadness of Syracuse city area, the sparseness of habitation, this reassigned certainly lots of citizens and sailors and auxiliary staff with Dionysius expedites Magna Graecia to be related. 安东尼奥斯带领部队快速前进,他很快就体会到了锡拉库扎城区面积的广阔,当然还有人烟的寥落,这恐怕跟狄奥尼修斯抽调大量公民和水手以及辅助人员去远征大希腊有关。 Spent for nearly one hour, the Theonia allied armies rush to the main city, is driving away the mercenary who and is plundering the people to see their arrivals, hurries to flee to mysterious to raise the Guillat island. 花费了近一个小时的时间,戴奥尼亚联军才赶到主城区,正在驱赶和抢掠民众的雇佣兵见到他们的到来,慌忙逃往奥提吉亚岛。 But Herolis and the others who later catch up with wail, because in the entire square overspreads the corpse and wounded person, they mostly are the family members of counter- rebel army as well as most firmly support their people. 而随后赶来的赫罗利斯等人则嚎啕大哭,因为整个广场上铺满尸体和伤员,他们大多是反叛军的家属以及最坚决支持他们的民众。 Antonios commands the army to pursue raises the isthmus of Guillat island before mysterious, sees fortress as well as its rear area big firm city wall that stand tall and erect, to prevent the attacking a city casualties is too big, he gave up the attack, after retreating to the newly-built city wall . 安东尼奥斯率军追击到奥提吉亚岛的地峡前,看到高耸的堡垒以及其后方高大坚固的城墙,为防止攻城伤亡太大,他放弃了进攻,退守到新建的城墙后。 .................................... ……………………………… Appears the depression in Sparta similarly. 在斯巴达境内同样显得萧条。 Sparta has been in both sides combat. Jacchy Rieda leads the allied country army and mercenary to continue to battle with Persians in Asia Minor, flames of war in the Corinth isthmus region of Peloponnese peninsula lastingly, the main force that although battles is not the allied country army, is a mercenary, but Sparta own citizen casualties are also many. 斯巴达一直处于两面作战。亚基里达斯在小亚细亚率领盟邦军队、雇佣兵同波斯人继续作战,在伯罗奔尼撒半岛的科林斯地峡区域内战火持久不息,虽然作战的主力不是盟邦军队、就是雇佣兵,但斯巴达自身的公民也伤亡不少。 The elder powwow has to order: Let over 50-year-old citizen also put on the armor, takes up the shield lance, is the patrol soldier in Sparta, prevents the change of Helots. Even they also decide to hold „hunting action” ahead of time( i.e. slaughtering Helots in a planned way, reduces its population, assures Sparta domestic security). 长老议事会不得不下令:让年过50岁的公民也披上盔甲,拿起盾矛,在斯巴达境内担任巡逻兵,防止黑劳士的异动。甚至他们还决定提前举行“狩猎行动”(即有计划的杀戮黑劳士,减少其人口,保证斯巴达境内的安全)。 The war dark clouds cover Sparta, the people are being in the highly tight condition. 战争阴云笼罩着斯巴达,民众处于高度紧张的状态中。 At this moment, has returned to Sparta Pharacidas to see Agesilaus in the king mansion. 就在这时,已经返回斯巴达的菲比达斯在国王府邸见到了阿格西劳斯。 This has made huge reputation King Sparta to win the respect of Sparta citizens in Asia Minor, in Greece and in the Corinth isthmus, even some people called him after „Sparta hero following Laishan virtue”. But this time he actually looks somewhat exhausted, he by sitting on wooden chair, the right leg straightens, bends being lame of left leg, this is his custom movement, making one unable to see the issue of his left leg. He is leaning the body, earnest listens to Pharacidas to tell that he follows Dionysius in the experience of west Mediterranean. 这位在小亚细亚、在中希腊、在科林斯地峡已经打出了巨大名声的斯巴达国王早已赢得了斯巴达公民们的尊重,甚至有人称他为“继莱山德之后的斯巴达英雄”。而此时的他却看起来有些疲惫,他靠坐在木椅上,右腿伸直,将左腿的跛足屈起,这是他的习惯动作,让人看不出他左腿的问题。他倾着身子,认真的听菲比达斯讲述他跟随狄奥尼修斯在西地中海的经历。 Wooden chair that two people sit next, this demonstrates him attaching great importance to Pharacidas, although does not have the fruit and liquor water invites( in Syracuse, Pharacidas to enjoy such treatment frequently), but this crude environment makes Pharacidas feel comfortable. 两人所坐的木椅紧挨着,这显示出他对菲比达斯的重视,虽然没有水果、酒水的宴请(在锡拉库扎,菲比达斯经常享受这样的待遇),但这种简陋的环境更让菲比达斯感到自在。 Pharacidas narrated the process of entire Magna Graecia war he knew from an angle of neutral as far as possible, then carried the side coarse clay jar, what in the pot was abundant was the cool river water, he drank a big mouth, immediately feels the somewhat thirsty throat obtained moistening. 菲比达斯尽量以一个中立者的角度来叙述完他所知道的整个大希腊战争的过程,然后端起身旁粗陋的陶罐,罐中盛的是清凉的河水,他喝了一大口,立刻感到有些干渴的喉咙得到了滋润。 Agesilaus is tasting the narration of Pharacidas, is imagining tens of thousands of both soldiers at the wars that on the Magna Graecia land conducts, he cannot bear heave a deep sigh: „Without thinking of vast momentum Magna Graecia war less than a half year soon finished, but finally is completely not as we expected!” 阿格西劳斯回味着菲比达斯的叙述,想象着成千上万的双方士兵在大希腊的土地上所进行的一场又一场的战争,他忍不住长叹一声:“没想到声势浩大的大希腊战争不到半年就快要结束了,而结果却完全出乎我们的预料！” „Yes, no one has thought that small and weak Theonia will become the final victor!” The Pharacidas similar feeling, must know after the Syracuse army lands Magna Graecia, perhaps with irresistible force, the Sparta elders were worrying at that time Syracuse wins extremely easily, have this idea including he himself, who knows that the result is actually just the opposite, it is estimated that many Sparta people were startled the chin. “是啊,谁也没有想到弱小的戴奥尼亚会成为最后的胜利者！”菲比达斯同样感慨,要知道当锡拉库扎的大军登陆大希腊之后,一路势如破竹,当时恐怕斯巴达的长老们都在担心锡拉库扎得太过容易,包括他自己也有这种想法,谁知道结果却恰恰相反,估计很多斯巴达人都惊掉了下巴。 „According to your judgment, Syracuse can also turn defeat into victory?” Agesilaus brings a luck, asked. After all Syracuse is a Sparta many years of allied country, its failure means the bankruptcy of Sparta original western Mediterranean strategy, may cause the complete transformation of entire Sparta foreign strategy, for this reason Teacher Agassi has to be discrete. “根据你的判断,锡拉库扎还有可能反败为胜吗？”阿格西劳斯带着一丝侥幸,又问道。毕竟锡拉库扎是斯巴达多年的盟邦,它的失败将意味着斯巴达原先的西地中海策略的破产,可能会导致整个斯巴达对外战略的完全转变,为此阿格西老师不得不谨慎。 „Is basically impossible.” Pharacidas direct reaction, then, he hesitant, said: „Only if...... the god blesses, making the Theonia army plague popular......” “基本已不可能。”菲比达斯直接回答,接着,他犹豫了一下,又说道:“除非……神祗庇佑,让戴奥尼亚军队瘟疫流行……” In the person eyes, Dionysius holds the post in these years of overstepping authority lord outside, Syracuse once( just held the post of plenary powers general by Carthaginians attacking army has reached the city in Dionysius twice for the first time shortly, approximately in 406 B. C.), because finally Carthaginians catches the plague, but finally was hit the rout to turn over, to the feeling of bystander, as if Dionysius also blesses brightly, but in fact the Syracuse harbor area flatter that Poos river has large quantities of swamp areas to exist toward , but each Carthage army pitches camp in this, massive mosquitos to disseminate the bacteria found numerous hosts. 在外人眼中,狄奥尼修斯担任僭主的这些年中,锡拉库扎曾经两次被迦太基人兵临城下(第一次是在狄奥尼修斯刚担任全权将军没多久,大约在公元前406年),结果都因为迦太基人染上瘟疫,而最终被打得大败而归,给外人的感觉,似乎狄奥尼修斯也有神祗庇佑,但实际上锡拉库扎港口区往南、阿那普斯河附近有大批沼泽区存在,而每一次迦太基军队都在这附近扎营,大量的蚊虫为传播细菌找到了众多的宿主。 But regarding the Theonia army, the possibility that has the plague is minimum, because «Theonian Military Law» requests: The army can not in the nearby that the mosquito multiplies in the camp. After fight, must cremate and bury the body of player and enemy promptly. After the soldiers must drink to boil the water. Moreover the transportation battalion carries the lime( to be from the Thurii quarry), after establishing camp, must and all around impure the place in the camp scatters to disinfect...... 而对于戴奥尼亚军队来说,发生瘟疫的可能性极小,因为《戴奥尼亚军法》要求:军队不得在蚊虫滋生的附近驻营。发生战斗之后,要及时火化和掩埋敌我双方的尸体。士兵们必须喝煮沸后的水。而且辎重营携带有石灰(产自图里伊石矿),在建立营地后,必须在营地内和四周不洁净的地方撒上消毒…… Davos from previous generation knows certainly that the reason of plague, takes so many measures, basically made this possibility fall lowly, 来自前世的戴弗斯当然知道瘟疫发生的原因,采取这么多的措施,基本上让这种可能性降到了最低, Agesilaus will certainly not know these, but a disposition mature command is absolutely not wanting to pin on „unpredictable god”, Pharacidas words in fact to result final judgment on a person's life can be made only after he is dead and buried of Magna Graecia war. 阿格西劳斯当然不会知道这些,但一个心性成熟的统帅是绝对不会把希望寄托在“捉摸不定的神祗”身上,菲比达斯的话实际上是给大希腊战事的结局盖棺定论了。 Agesilaus look dignified beat several left leg with the left fist lightly, asked: „You think that Dionysius can defeat these rebel armies, recaptures the Syracuse right?” 阿格西劳斯神色凝重的用左拳轻捶了几下左腿,问道:“你认为狄奥尼修斯能战胜那些叛军,夺回锡拉库扎的权利吗？” „Very difficult!” Although Pharacidas and Dionysius were together for several months, actually to see only one side the rebel army, saying that he considered the matter and of itself: „Dionysius lost powerful his, the loyal mercenary army, lost his huge navy, moreover abandons the army, was the military deserter, was not only the Syracuse people abandoned him, the Syracuse allied armies mostly also abandoned him, had the Theonia army to be stationed in Syracuse nearby city-state let alone. Dionysius is four faces the enemy and being isolated and cutting off from help, only if our Sparta sends out the reinforcements to support him!” “很难！”尽管菲比达斯与狄奥尼修斯相处了几个月、却只见过叛军一面,他还是就事论事的说道:“狄奥尼修斯失去了他强大的、忠诚的雇佣兵部队,失去了他庞大的海军,而且还抛弃军队,当了逃兵,不光是锡拉库扎民众背弃了他,锡拉库扎的盟军大多也背弃了他,更何况还有戴奥尼亚的军队在锡拉库扎附近的城邦驻扎。狄奥尼修斯是四面临敌、孤立无援,除非我们斯巴达派出援军支持他！” „Sparta does not have the reinforcements to send.” Agesilaus very simple saying. “斯巴达没有援军可派。”阿格西劳斯很干脆的说道。 This in expected of Pharacidas. 这在菲比达斯的意料之中。 „Pitifully, we supported Dionysius so many years, the result......” Agesilaus sighed deeply, on the face revealed the facial expression that regretted. “可惜啊,我们扶持了狄奥尼修斯这么多年,结果……”阿格西劳斯长叹了一声,脸上流露出惋惜的神情。 „We can then support the Syracuse rebel army, their leaders once promised to me, they are willing to continue to make Syracuse form an alliance with our Sparta, after the Magna Graecia war ended sends out the reinforcements to us, to help us defeat these to revolt against the Sparta allied country.” “我们可以转而扶持锡拉库扎叛军,他们的首领曾向我许诺,他们愿意继续让锡拉库扎与我们斯巴达结盟,并且在大希腊战争结束后向我们派出援军,以帮助我们战胜那些反抗斯巴达的盟邦。” The Pharacidas words have not made Agesilaus feel joyful, he hesitates was saying: „To us, this actually unavoidable choice. However...... this new Syracuse political power implements perhaps is the democratic system.” 菲比达斯的话并没有让阿格西劳斯感到欣喜,他沉吟着说道:“对我们来说,这倒是一个不得已的选择。但是……这个新的锡拉库扎政权实行的恐怕是民主制度吧。” Pharacidas was recalling he in „about ten generals who” the Syracuse city hall sees, the nod said: „Should.” 菲比达斯回想着他在锡拉库扎市政厅看到的“近十位将军”,点头说道:“应该是的。” „Democratic system has very big uncertainty, the ignorant people were very easy to be forced the Syracuse leadership to tear up by the instigation of person with high aspirations suddenly with our treaties of alliance...... this are the elder powwow are also willing initially with the reason of Dionysius this overstepping authority main cooperation.” Agesilaus expressed his concern. “民主制度具有很大的不确定性,愚昧的民众很容易受有心人的煽动而突然迫使锡拉库扎领导层撕毁与我们的盟约……这也是当初长老议事会愿意与狄奥尼修斯这个僭主合作的原因。”阿格西劳斯表示了他的担心。
