In the Latin area of central Italy, Camillus that Davos paid attention to received the order of Rome council: Let him hold the post to lead general, leads to remain behind the Rome army to repel the Volscians allied armies. 在意大利中部的拉丁姆地区,戴弗斯所关注的卡米卢斯接到了罗马元老院的命令:让其担任领军将领,带领留守罗马的军队去击退沃尔西人的联军。 Although he declines over and over, said oneself old physically weak, are not suitable leads troops, wants to give a more suitable candidate this duty, but the Rome people actually strongly request him to hold the post, because they in fact did not expect that he can take the lead and rush ahead the enemy ranks, but trusts his actual combat experience and resorting to arms ability intensely, believes that he will certainly bring the magnificent victory to Rome. 尽管他再三推辞,说自己年迈体弱、不适宜带兵,希望将这任务让给更适合人选,但是罗马民众却强烈要求他担任,因为他们实际上并不期望他能够身先士卒、冲杀敌阵,而是强烈信任他的实战经验和用兵才能,相信他一定会给罗马带来辉煌的胜利。 Camillus has to accept. 卡米卢斯只好接受。 Considering that Camillus is unable to go forth to battle to kill the enemy, council also provided a young military administration officer for him, called Lu Qi Oursse. Lius, holds the post of his partner. 考虑到卡米卢斯无法上阵杀敌,元老院还为他配备了一位年轻的军政官,叫卢契乌斯.弗留斯,担任他的搭档。 Two people lead in the city only two regiments, 12,000 Rome citizen soldiers, converged the soldiers in several thousand allied countries, then commands the army to advance by rushes to the southeast, quick rushed to Prey Nist. 两人带领城内仅余的两个军团,共一万两千名罗马公民兵,汇合了几千名盟邦的士兵,然后率军向东南急进,很快就赶到了普雷尼斯特境内。 Will soon encounter the Volsci allied armies, Camillus actually orders the army to stop to pitch camp, he wants first to delay with the time that the enemy engages in a decisive battle. At the same time, he does not want in the morale prosperous enemy battle, to wait for the enemy to idle at this moment, or forces the enemy to attack their camps on own initiative ; On the other hand, before he postponed the appointment of council, a reason is he takes a chill, but also in having a fever, is physically weak, after wants to wait for the body gets better slightly, again with the enemy is disputing. 即将遭遇沃尔西联军,卡米卢斯却命令军队停下来扎营,他想先拖延与敌人会战的时间。一方面,他不想在此刻与士气正旺的敌人交战,想等待敌人懈怠,或者逼迫敌人来主动进攻他们的营地;另一方面,之前他之所以推迟元老院的任命,其中一个原因就是他受了凉,还在发烧,身体虚弱,想等待身体稍微好转之后,再在与敌人较量。 Who knows another young military administration officer Lius to render meritorious service cherished, must engage in a decisive battle with the enemy eagerly, Camillus because of falling ill, but is unable to go to battle, happen to can make him win the meritorious military service. 谁知另一位年轻的军政官弗留斯立功心切,急于要与敌军进行会战,卡米卢斯因为生病而无法出战,正好可以让他独揽战功。 Therefore he instigates the team officers in army in secret vigorously, making everyone seek battle consistently the petition to Camillus, Camillus sees the numerous intent to be difficult to disobey, does not want to make others think that he does not want to make the young people win the meritorious service, to win the great honor stemming from the envy, therefore his helpless agreement: Let Rwandan Oursse. Lius commands the army to go to battle, oneself lead few soldiers to remain behind the camp. 于是他私下里极力怂恿军中的队官们,让大家一致向卡米卢斯求战请愿,卡米卢斯见众意难违,不想让别人认为他是出于嫉妒心理不想让年轻人赢取功勋、获得殊荣,所以他无奈的同意:让卢契乌斯.弗留斯率军出战,自己则带领少量士兵留守营地。 Stemming from the worry of war, he sends people to inquire the progress of fight, reports to him momentarily. But he himself lies down on the hospital bed, is actually tossed. 出于对战事的担心,他派人打探战斗的进展,随时向他汇报。而他自己躺在病床上,却是辗转难眠。 When knew, because the Rome army formation has not arranged completely, Lius launched the attack rashly, finally was routed by the enemy at one fell swoop, when the routed troop is running away to the camp, he put behind the pain, rises with a spring from the bed, organizing the remaining soldiers to prepare defense rapidly. 当得知因为罗马军队阵型尚未排列完整,弗留斯就贸然发动了进攻,结果被敌人一举击溃,溃兵正在逃向营地时,他忘却了病痛,从床上一跃而起,组织剩下的士兵迅速做好防御的准备。 Before he runs up to the camp front door personally, advised these soldiers who retreated to return to loudly from the battlefield, making them take up the weapon, repels enemy who tagged along after them to come. 他亲自跑到营地大门前,不停的大声劝告那些从战场上溃退而回的士兵们,让他们重新拿起武器,击退尾随他们而来的敌人。 The routed troops noticed that this prestigious high and silver-haired veteran sews like the rock in the front door previous step does not retrocede, feels ashamed, turns around to battle in abundance, in the garrison troops coordination with camp, drove away the enemy finally. 溃兵们看到这位威望甚高、白发苍苍的老将象磐石一样钉在大门前一步也不后退,不禁倍感羞愧,纷纷转身作战,和营地里的守军配合,最终赶走了敌人。 Camillus after these tossed about, has well, the cold most probably, to thank Minerva's blessing unexpectedly repeatedly. 卡米卢斯经过这一番折腾,出了一身冷汗,感冒居然好了大半,不禁连声感谢密涅瓦的庇佑。 Depressed, intention guilty military administration officer Lius comes to apologize to Camillus. 神情沮丧、心怀愧疚的军政官弗留斯前来向卡米卢斯请罪。 Camillus not severe criticism this combat crude young general, but is patient inquired the process of entire battle to him. 卡米卢斯并没有严厉的批评这位作战鲁莽的年轻将领,而是耐心的向他询问了整个会战的过程。 After thinking, he said to Lius: „Tomorrow we must command the army the camp, fights a decisive battle with the enemy!” 经过思索之后,他对弗留斯说道:“明天我们要率军出营,与敌人进行决战！” Lius thinks oneself misunderstood: „We just experienced the failure of battle......” 弗留斯以为自己听错了:“我们刚刚经历了会战的失败……” „Because of this failure, the Rome citizen who advocates the honor takes a victory to wash off this shame urgently needed!” Camillus firm saying. “正是因为这场失败,崇尚荣誉的罗马公民急需要一场胜利来洗刷掉这份耻辱！”卡米卢斯坚定的说道。 Was driven, Lius nods assent. 受到激励,弗留斯点头同意。 Quick, „tomorrow morning engages in a decisive battle” the news spread over the entire battalion. 很快,“明晨会战”的消息传遍了全营。 The soldiers hear commanding general Camillus of noble character and high prestige to lead them to have the camp to fight a decisive battle tomorrow morning, to scrub shame of this failure. Immediately each one no longer dejected, but is ready to fight, to the god pledged must revenge to wipe out a disgrace. 士兵们听闻德高望重的主将卡米卢斯明早将率领他们出营决战,以洗刷这次失败的耻辱。顿时个个都不再垂头丧气,而是摩拳擦掌,向神祗发誓要报仇雪耻。 Next day, after Camillus commands the army the camp one li (0.5 km), stopped the advance, and rapid start arranges the formation potential. 第二天,卡米卢斯率军出营一里之后,就停止了前进,并迅速的开始排列阵势。 The Volsci allied armies heard the Rome person of failure to go out of the firm camp yesterday unexpectedly, pleasantly surprised, commanded the army to catch up hurriedly. 沃尔西联军听闻昨天战斗失败的罗马人居然走出了坚固的营地,惊喜不已,纷纷率军急匆匆赶来。 Also without them launches the formation completely, Camillus orders: Army attack! 还没等他们完全展开阵型,卡米卢斯就下令:全军进攻！ Eagerly revenge Rome soldier overwhelming general started fiercely attacking to the Volsci allied armies, and center of gravity that Camillus will attack placed on strength weak Hernicans. 急于复仇的罗马士兵排山倒海一般的向沃尔西联军发动了猛攻,并且卡米卢斯将攻击的重心放在了实力较弱的赫尔尼基人身上。 After a fierce combat, the formation chaotic Volsci allied armies are at a disadvantage completely, Hernicans was first routed, immediately causes the army the rout. 经过一番激战,阵型混乱的沃尔西联军完全处于了下风,赫尔尼基人首先被击溃,随即导致全军的溃败。 Camillus ordered: The army continues to pursue, do not relax! 卡米卢斯下令:全军继续追击,不要放松！ The Rome army seized the chance to seize the camp of enemy, most Volsci allied armies soldiers were not killed, was captured, the Rome soldiers joyfully celebrated the victory. 罗马军队趁机占领了敌人的营地,大部分沃尔西联军战士不是被杀死,就是被俘虏,罗马士兵们欢庆胜利。 But recuperation one day later, spreads the news, in Rome another Latin allied country uncle ( Bolae ) by Hernicans attacking and occupying. 但休整一天之后,又传来消息,罗马的另一个拉丁盟邦伯内(Bolae)被赫尔尼基人给攻占。 Camillus makes the decision immediately, first repatriates Rome the heavy infantry, then leads the light infantry, the rapid march rushes to the uncle, started attack to Hernicans. 卡米卢斯当即作出决定,先将重步兵遣返回罗马,然后率领轻装步兵,一路急行军赶到伯内,对赫尔尼基人发动了突击。 Just occupied Hernicans of this cities not to have the protection, quick is routed, most soldiers were killed. 刚刚占据这座城镇的赫尔尼基人毫无防备,很快就被击溃,大部分战士被杀。 Camillus leads large quantities of spoils of war and captives withdraws troops to return to Rome. 卡米卢斯带着大批战利品和俘虏班师返回罗马。 The Rome people respond with him cheer. 罗马民众对他报以欢呼。 But Rome council at his suggestion, let subjugate the Etruscans Rome army that returned from north then to launch the attack to east Aequians, Hernicans and other influences. 而罗马元老院在他的建议下,让已经从北面返回的征讨伊特鲁里亚人的罗马军队转而向东面的埃奎人、赫尔尼基人等势力发动了进攻。 Two months later, has suffered heavy loss Aequians, Hernicans and Marsch person to pass through in the beforehand war attacks continually, was also incapable of resisting to choose submitting to again. 两个月后,已经在之前的战争中遭受重大损失的埃奎人、赫尔尼基人、马西人经过连番打击,再也无力抵抗选择了臣服。 After the Rome person defined clearly the chief enemy in east side and southeast side, started to look at south Volscians. 罗马人厘清了东面、东南面的主要敌人之后,开始把目光投向了南面的沃尔西人。 Volscians is an ancient race of Italy, several hundred years ago they live in the advantage Goose River upstream river valley of northeastern Italy, may with Celts south invades unceasingly, is unable with Volscians that it contends with, is forced to migrate to the Southwest of Italy unceasingly, finally they settle down on the Latin fertile land, and peace multiplied here for several hundred years, as because actually the rise and expansion of Rome person, Volscians has to start to turn into the influence of his north close neighbor to have the unceasing military conflict with this. 沃尔西人是意大利的一个古老的种族,几百年前他们居住在意大利东北部的利古斯河上游河谷,可随着凯尔特人的不断南侵,无法与之抗衡的沃尔西人,被迫向意大利的西南方不断迁移,最终他们在拉丁姆南部的肥沃土地上定居下来,并在这里和平繁衍了几百年,却因为随着罗马人的崛起和扩张,沃尔西人不得不开始与这个已经变成其北方近邻的势力发生不断的武装冲突。 In about hundred years, both sides have the war many times. At the beginning, Volscians also gets the winning side. May conquer after Rome peripheral Latin city-state, establishes the Latin union, the strength increases, attack of Volscians to Rome gradually felt strenuous. 在近百年的时间里,双方多次发生战争。刚开始的时候,沃尔西人还占据着上风。可随着罗马征服周边的拉丁城邦、建立起拉丁同盟之后,实力大增,沃尔西人对罗马的攻击逐渐感到了吃力。 And constructs nation 358 years of ( i.e. 396 B. C. ) in Rome, Rome general Camillus commands the army to take over Etruscan strong nation situated in Tiber upstream north region at one fell swoop- loves, this conquering not only occupied the peripheral land of stage Bei River basin time thoroughly, but also shocked the peripheral race and influence. 并且在罗马建邦358年(即公元前396年),罗马将领卡米卢斯率军一举攻下位于台伯河上游北部区域的伊特鲁里亚强邦-维爱,这一次的征服不但彻底占据了台北河流域的周边土地,而且震慑了周边的种族和势力。 Therefore, Volscians and Rome signed the peace agreement. 于是,沃尔西人与罗马签订了和平协议。 However four years later, Celts attacks and occupies the Rome city, the Rome strength drops, causing the Latin union to dismiss, Volscians seizes the chance to tear up the agreement, and unites the Rome peripheral influence, intrudes on the Rome territory and allied country unceasingly, until these by army thorough defeating that Camillus leads time. 但是四年后,凯尔特人攻占罗马城,罗马实力下降,导致拉丁同盟解散,沃尔西人趁机撕毁协议,并联合罗马周边的势力,不断进犯罗马的领地和盟邦,直至这一次被卡米卢斯率领的军队彻底的击败。 Loses serious Volscians not to gasp for breath from the defeat war, the army of Rome person invaded the Volscians territory on a large scale, and surrounded north the Volsci strong nation at one fell swoop- Willie Therre ( velitrae ). 损失惨重的沃尔西人还没有从败战中喘过气来,罗马人的军队就大举入侵了沃尔西人的领地,并一举包围了沃尔西北部的强邦-维利特雷(velitrae)。 Volscians the set army goes to rescue, while is considering to other influence request reinforcements, is really because after these years Rome person carried out the military system reform, the strength was getting more and more powerful, Volsci and several wars of Rome person ended in failure, they produced fear to the Rome person. 沃尔西人一边集合军队前往救援,一边考虑着向其他势力请求援军,实在是因为这几年罗马人进行军制改革之后,实力越来越强大,沃尔西与罗马人的几次战争都以失败告终,他们对罗马人产生了畏惧。 In fact, is nearer, a stronger influence from Volsci is Samnites, what a pity this powerful mountainous region race always has the enormous aggressiveness to the peripheral influence. In the past years, Volsci and Samnites also had the war many times, Volsci several such as Zola ( Sora ) and Shipa Uquina ( Cepeatae ) are also seized by Samnites close to the cities of Samnium mountainous area, how Volscians dares to request reinforcements to this violent hostile forces. 事实上,距离沃尔西更近、更强大的势力是萨莫奈人,可惜这个强大的山地种族对周边的势力总是有着极大的侵略性。在过去的岁月里,沃尔西与萨莫奈人也多次发生过战争,沃尔西几座靠近萨莫奈山区的城镇如索拉(Sora)、斯波阿塔(Cepeatae)还被萨莫奈人占领,沃尔西人又怎么敢向这个充满暴力的敌对势力求援。 Therefore the Volsci union after the discussion, thinks, only then south powerful Kingdom Theonia is the rightest requesting reinforcements object, but Volsci with the Theonia official diplomatic contact, had not previously feared is rejected, therefore Volscians tried to find a solution. 因此沃尔西同盟经过讨论,一致认为只有南方的强大王国-戴奥尼亚才是最合适的求援对象,但是沃尔西此前与戴奥尼亚没有正式的外交接触,怕遭到拒绝,于是沃尔西人想了一个办法。 The Volsci union sent out the envoy to go by boat to go south, arrives at the Campania area, the Campania area had Volscians to look like quite powerful Campania union, its relations with the Volsci was good, both sides common trade. 沃尔西同盟派出使者乘船南下,来到了坎帕尼亚地区,坎帕尼亚地区有一个沃尔西人看来比较强大的坎帕尼亚同盟,它跟沃尔西的关系还算不错,双方常有贸易往来。 The Campania union is only Greece of this area colonizes the union that city-state jointly composes at first, its goal is to protect the city-state security, resists the foreign enemy together, his chief enemy is Samnites of east side mountainous area. Afterward east the Campania plain also suffered the Samnites invasion some Itter Rougnat city-state also to join. 坎帕尼亚同盟最初只是这个地区的希腊殖民城邦联合组成的同盟,其目的是为了保护城邦安全,共同抵御外敌,其主要的敌人就是东面山区的萨莫奈人。后来坎帕尼亚平原东部同样遭受萨莫奈人侵扰的一些伊特鲁尼亚城邦也加入了进来。 Itter Rougnat person once was the Italian strongest influence, has occupied the entire northern Italy and most middle, afterward because of the invasion of Celts, its strength encountered significantly weakened, many territories were encroached upon by other race unceasingly, its influence started to flinch to the north. But east the Campania plain, but also leaves leeway headed by Kapua ( Capua ) and Sarah ( Suessla ) several Etruscan city-state. 伊特鲁尼亚人曾经是意大利最强大的势力,占据过整个意大利的北部和大半中部,后来因为凯尔特人的入侵,它的力量遭到了大大削弱,不少的领地不断被别的种族侵占,其势力开始向北方退缩。但在坎帕尼亚平原东部,还留有以卡普阿(Capua)、塞萨拉(Suessla)为首的几个伊特鲁里亚城邦。 After joining the Campania union, Kapua had also striven for the leading power of union with Naples, however 20 years ago, after Samnites attacked and occupied Kapua, this alliance has been primarily Naples. 在加入坎帕尼亚同盟之后,卡普阿还曾经与那不勒斯争夺过同盟的主导权,然而在20年前,萨莫奈人攻占了卡普阿之后,这个联盟就一直以那不勒斯为主了。 Therefore, the Volsci envoy arrives at the Naples city directly, proposed to its powwow requesting reinforcements of Volsci requested, and tactful reminder Napoli person: The Rome person invades to become second nature, once Volsci were conquered by it, from Volsci not far . Moreover the land fertile Campania area possibly is its next goal. 因此,沃尔西使者直接来到那不勒斯城,向其议事会提出了沃尔西的求援请求,并且委婉的提醒拿波里人:罗马人侵略成性,一旦沃尔西被其征服,距离沃尔西不远、而且土地肥沃的坎帕尼亚地区就可能是它的下一个目标。
