The group got down the gentle slope, walks into Dahetan, here was better than to walk before: The land is soft, the road surface is smooth, almost and river surface is equally orthogonal. 一行人下了缓坡,走入大河滩,这里比之前好走多了:土地松软,路面平坦,几乎与河面一样平齐。 „You said a moment ago the Thurii person is very repugnant this hot spring swamp, why?” Asistes does not forget the beforehand issue as before with strong attachment. “你刚才说图里伊人很讨厌这温泉沼泽,为什么？”亚西斯特斯依旧恋恋不忘之前的问题。 The guides looked at his one eyes, said: „This swamp because of the hot spring, the water temperature is very throughout the year appropriate, therefore the mosquito is extremely numerous, the bite is very fierce, the Thurii person is hardly willing to come to here.” 向导看了他一眼,说道:“这个沼泽因为温泉,一年四季水温都很合适,因此蚊虫极多,叮咬很厉害,图里伊人几乎不愿到这里来。” Asistes stares the big eye to look to the opposite shore, the filled the air mist covers his line of sight enormously, increased several points of mysticalness for this swamp. 亚西斯特斯瞪大眼睛向对岸望去,弥漫的水雾极大的遮挡他的视线,为这沼泽增添了几分神秘。 Davos did not say a word, is staring at this Dahetan and the hot spring swamp of Dino river as well as opposite shore, is pondering anything. 戴弗斯一言不发,凝视着这大河滩、提诺河以及对岸的温泉沼泽,在思考着什么。 Walked approximately half li (0.5 km), sandbank also to the end. They have to dismount the walk, with the aim of stepping onto the gentle slope, because the muddy land is slippery, is unable to ride the line. 走了约半里地,河滩也就到头了。他们不得不下马步行,以便走上缓坡,因为泥地湿滑,根本无法骑行。 On the gentle slope, left Dahetan, then is completely the uphill road. The farmland are getting fewer and fewer, but the trees are getting more and more, more and more cover, until not being able to see a trail of human construction. 上了缓坡,离开大河滩,接下来就完全是上坡路。农田越来越少,而树木却越来越多、越来越茂密,直至看不到一点人类建筑的踪迹。 At this time, Davos they had arrived at the open place on hillside, the guide actually refused to proceed: „Crosses the front that mountain ridge, is the Lucanian camp, was too dangerous!” 这时,戴弗斯他们已经到了山坡上的开阔处,向导却拒绝往前走了:“越过前面那座山梁,就是卢卡利亚人的营地,太危险了！” Davos they tried every means to persuade, made the guide agree that led them to have a look to the distant place. 戴弗斯他们好说歹说,才让向导同意带他们到远处看看。 Stands in the hill top, is braving the bone-chilling cold mountain breeze, looks into the distance forward: The front is a higher hill, should be everywhere the emerald green scenery, however massive trees had cut down, cleans up a very big region, innumerable tents chaotic densely covered above, slightly looks at such as among Lucanian dense and numerous flooding of ant from the distant place...... 站在山丘顶,顶着凛冽的山风,向前眺望:前方是更高的一座山丘,原本应是满目翠绿的景色,然而大量的树木已经被伐掉,清理出很大的一片区域,无数的帐篷杂乱无章的密布在上面,从远处看小如蚂蚁的卢卡利亚人密密麻麻的充斥其间…… „, The person are many!” The good and evil was to also see Persia mighty force Asistes could not have borne say one. “哇,人不少啊！”好歹也是见过波斯千军万马的亚西斯特斯也忍不住说了一句。 Davos has not spoken, carefully observed some little time, is pointing at the front somewhere, asked: „Where is that?” 戴弗斯没说话,仔细的观察了好一会儿,指着前方某处,问道:“那是什么地方？” The guide of looking pale looked at a loss, asked: „Where?” 面色苍白的向导茫然的看了看,问:“哪里？” „Side the right of hill,...... often has the Lucanians team to come out probably...... the Davos drawing from there” the guide, is pointing at the front again, said. “在山丘的右侧面,好像……不时有卢卡尼亚人的队伍从那里出来……”戴弗斯拉过向导,再次指着前方,说道。 The guides open the eye, after confirming carefully, said: „, The Nashi Shan valley pass, may for the person general mountain road continuously the territory to lead to Lucanians.” 向导睁大眼睛,仔细确认了之后,说道:“哦,那是山谷隘口,有一条可供人通行的山道一直通向卢卡尼亚人的领地。” „Long mountain road?” Davos continues to ask. “多长的山道？”戴弗斯继续问道。 „I have not passed through, heard that is more than 40 li (0.5 km), sounding like not quite far, but the mountain road is difficult to walk, walks the time of spending perhaps 1-2 days....... Was right, before Thurii army in this mountain road marches was ambushed, defeated......” saying of guide wear a look of scared look. “我没走过,听说有四十多里,听起来好像不太远,但山路难走啊,走起来花的时间恐怕得1-2。哦……对了,之前图里伊的军队就是在这个山道行军时遭到伏击,才被打败……”向导面带惧色的说道。 After Davos is looking into that hill, mountain range continuously, ponders does not speak. 戴弗斯眺望着那山丘后连绵不断的山峦,沉思不语。 „Thurii should construct a fort here, Lucanians not such coming in easily.” Ledes said. “图里伊应该在这里建一个要塞,卢卡尼亚人就不会这么轻易的进来。”莱德斯说道。 „Original Thurii has the camp here, is only dozens years of no important matter, in addition here condition is crude, therefore is willing the citizen who comes to here to guard is not many. Lucanians will mount a large-scale attack suddenly, result......” guide depressed saying. “原先图里伊是在这里有营地,只是几十年都没有什么大事,再加上这里条件简陋,所以愿意来这里驻守的公民不多。没想到,卢卡尼亚人会突然大举进攻,结果……”向导沮丧的说道。 „If the Thurii person defended here, without our anything matter.” Davos said one lightly: From this mountain almost without the development, can see that the Thurii person absolutely would have no carefully to here, can defend is strange. This is Greece- the common problem of this affection navigation doing business nationality, they absolutely had no interest in the mountainous region. “如果图里伊人在这里守住了,也没我们什么事儿了。”戴弗斯淡淡的说了一句:从这片山地几乎都没开发,就可以看出图里伊人对这里根本就没上心,能守住才奇怪。这是希腊-这个喜爱航海经商民族的通病了,他们对山地根本就没兴趣。 Urged by guide, the group stepped the journey of return trip one after another. 在向导接连的催促下,一行人踏上了回程的旅途。 Saw that Davos one line of facial expressions are relaxed, this was regarded as the children of domestic slave of trusted aide to listen to his master to say by Burkes, side these people are the soldiers of having fought many battles, therefore cannot bear ask: „Captain Davos you thought that we can defeat these Lucanians?” 看到戴弗斯一行人神情轻松,这位被布尔科斯视为心腹的家生奴听其主人说过,身边这些人都是身经百战的战士,因此忍不住问道:“戴弗斯首领你觉得我们能战胜这些卢卡尼亚人吗？” „That must hit has known.” Davos light saying. “那要打过才知道。”戴弗斯淡淡的说道。 This time, they along Sybaris plain right side edge east, here similarly are wooded mountains continuously, the cheerful brook along with them to east, gathers in rivers finally, when Davos when south bank of the riverside speeds sees in the soldier of opposite shore felling trees, he remembers this is that rivers that Philesius mentioned- guide called it the Sybaris river. 这一次,他们沿着绪巴里平原右侧边缘东下,这边同样是连绵不断的山林,欢快的溪流伴随着他们一路向东,最终汇聚成一条河流,当一路沿河南岸驰行的戴弗斯看到在对岸砍伐树木的士兵时,他想起这就是斐利修斯提到的那条河流-向导称它为绪巴里河。 Watched the weather to the dusk, Davos has eliminated continued the plan that investigated toward north, he dismounted the river in the past, with the soldiers planing tree trunk, lifted the wood/blockhead to return to the camp together. 看天色已至黄昏,戴弗斯打消了继续往北探察的计划,他下马涉河过去,与士兵们一起刨平树干,抬着木头回营。 Has had the dinner, listens to the reports of Philesius as well as various team of officers, confirmed that the mercenaries all are well-functioning, sent off them, Davos calms the mind, outlines the terrain that during the daytime investigates with the branch on the ground, after revises until satisfaction repeatedly, he stares at for a long time, this design union scene firmly in brain. Naturally this is only a schematic diagram, then also needs to send the mounted scout to further improve, for example Sybaris plain approximate area, Crati river width and depth, area of Dahetan wait/etc. 吃过晚饭,听完斐利修斯以及各队官的汇报,确认雇佣军一切运转良好,送走了他们,戴弗斯静下心来,用树枝在地上勾画白天侦查的地形,经过反复修改直至满意为止,他注视良久,将这图案结合景象牢牢地记在脑中。当然这只是一个草图,接下来还需要派侦骑去进一步完善,比如绪巴里平原的大致面积,克拉蒂河的宽度、深度,大河滩的面积等等。 In the war the intelligence is most important, but the terrain detection is most important in intelligence! The half year expedition taught Davos to be many, the knowledge of recombination previous generation, he has deeply believed the star was also needs „99 sweat in addition one point of talent to realize again”, has not sat the deliberation hall, to control remotely the army high to win the general in field, therefore he has been personally setting an example tirelessly...... 战争中情报工作是首要,而地形侦查又是情报工作中的重中之重！这半年多的征战教会了戴弗斯很多,再结合前世的知识,他一直深信名将同样是需要“九十九分汗水再加一分天赋”才能练成的,从来没有高坐朝堂、就能遥控部队打胜场的将军,所以他一直不辞辛苦的身体力行着…… .............................. ………………………… Next day, under guide's leadership, Davos one group, continues to north investigates. Bridges over the Sybaris river, from about ten li (0.5 km) of mountain forest to Gulf, the land between this is smoother, it was still part of Sybaris plain, the Thurii person has not actually planted the wheat in this, but is plants the olive tree and opens the vineyard. 第二天,在向导的带领下,戴弗斯一行人,继续向北探查。跨过绪巴里河,从山林到海湾之间约有十里地,这之间的土地更加平坦,它仍属于绪巴里平原的一部份,图里伊人却没在此种植小麦,而是种植橄榄树和开辟葡萄园。 Listened to the guide saying: The wine that here is rich is famous in entire Magna Graecia. This causes Davos remembered in the previous generation about the ancient Sybaris person luxurious with the story that the wine took a bath, it is estimated that stems from here wine. 听向导说:这里盛产的葡萄酒在整个大希腊都有名。这使戴弗斯不禁想起前世中关于古代绪巴里人奢华的用葡萄酒洗澡的故事,估计就是出自这里的葡萄酒。 At this time, in vineyards actually the weed grows thickly, no one to handle. 只是此时,一个个的葡萄园内却荒草丛生、无人打理。 „That is because has Lucanian that the Amendolara city comes out to loaf in the nearby once for a while, the people are afraid, does not dare to come......” guide to say. “那是因为时不时有阿门多拉腊城出来的卢卡利亚人在附近游荡,民众害怕,不敢过来……”向导解释说。 „Thurii should dispatch troops to provide the protection for their citizens!” Saying that Asistes disdains. “图里伊应该派兵为他们的公民提供保护！”亚西斯特斯不屑的说道。 „Thurii after the previous failure, perhaps is understrength. Preserving the Thurii city is their primary problem.” Davos said. “图里伊经过上次的失败之后,恐怕兵力不足。保住图里伊城才是他们的首要问题。”戴弗斯说道。 „Right that Captain Davos said!” The guides make use to be separated awkwardly. “戴弗斯首领说的对！”向导趁势脱离尴尬。 „Didn't say Lucanians in Amendolara city is not many? We can provide the protection for the Thurii person here, naturally must pay a protection money.” Saying that Asistes cracks a joke. “不是说阿门多拉腊城里的卢卡尼亚人不多吗？我们可以为图里伊人在这里提供保护,当然要付一点保护费。”亚西斯特斯开玩笑的说道。 „Western Asia, you must command troops in the future independently the combat. A little you must remember, easily do not disperse your military!” Davos sincere saying: „Our present primary missions are to help Thurii beat the Lucania army, other temporarily do not manage. So long as won, Amendolara at all is not the issue!” “亚西,将来你也是要独立领兵作战的。有一点你要记住,不要轻易分散你的兵力！”戴弗斯正色的说道:“我们现在的主要任务就是帮助图里伊击败卢卡尼亚的大军,其他都暂时不要管。只要胜利了,阿门多拉腊就根本不是问题！” Asistes and Ledes earnest is listening, nod that continuously. 亚西斯特斯、莱德斯认真的听着,不住的点头。 The group continue, blocked their way until rivers. 一行人继续前行,直到一条河流挡住了他们的去路。 „This is Saraz Ceno, is Thurii and Amendolara boundary river.” The guides said. “这是萨拉切诺河,是图里伊与阿门多拉腊的界河。”向导说道。 „Said that passes again is the Amendolara territory.” Davos refers to the front. “这么说再过去就是阿门多拉腊的领地啰。”戴弗斯手指前方。 „Yes, may encounter Lucanians anytime, we go back.” Guide surface presently the color of fearing difficulties. “是的,随时都有可能遭遇卢卡尼亚人,我们还是就此回去吧。”向导面现畏难之色。 But Davos obviously came the interest: „Can this river wade?” 而戴弗斯明显来了兴趣:“这河能步涉吗？” The guides had not replied, been able to repress Asistes has urged on a horse leaps forward in the river, more than ten meters wide river surface flash arrived at the opposite shore. 向导还没回答,早已按捺不住的亚西斯特斯已经驱马跃入河中,十几米宽的河面一瞬间就到了对岸。 „This water depth also arrives at the thigh.” Asistes stands before horse is gesticulating. “这水深也就到大腿。”亚西斯特斯站在马前比划着。 „Ledes, Philesius kept 100 soldiers to make the protection in the logging place, you went to adjust them, we crossed river to have a look together.” Davos issues the order immediately. “莱德斯,斐利修斯在伐木处留了一百名士兵作防备,你去把他们调来,我们一起过河去看看。”戴弗斯立刻下达命令。 „Yes!” The Ledes exciting round trip runs. “是！”莱德斯兴奋的往回跑去。 The guides can only at this time the helpless waiting. 向导此时只能无奈的等待。 After dozen minutes, Ledes leads more than hundred fully-armed soldiers to run hurriedly. 十几分钟后,莱德斯带着百多个全副武装的士兵急匆匆跑来。 These soldiers pant although, similarly is excited. Sees them, the Davos courage is fuller: „We cross river!” 这些士兵尽管气喘吁吁,同样是一脸兴奋。见到他们,戴弗斯胆气更足:“我们过河！” The guides do not understand that this group of people will be why excited, does not know that the Dao River opposite shore does have fearful Lucanians? May be the slave, he is unable to stop, fearful and apprehensive following on the heels. 向导不明白这帮人为何会如此兴奋,难道不知道河对岸有可怕的卢卡尼亚人吗？可作为奴隶,他无法阻拦,只有心惊胆战的跟在后面。
