Assigns to Davos their duty is: Picks the lance and shield that even carriage both sides discard to come back to the battlefield, as lumber, for cooking the meat. Therefore, but also assigns to their ox cart. 分配给戴弗斯他们的任务是:到战场上去捡回双方丢弃的长矛、盾牌甚至马车回来,作为木材,用于煮肉。为此,还分配给他们一辆牛车。 The battlefield is not far from the camp. Yesterday the cavalry went to investigate, discovered that the Persian king army had left, dares to send the soldier coming out battlefield cleanup. The soldier who however sends are many, is mainly feared that encounters the surprise attack of Persia cavalry. 战场距离营地并不远。昨天骑兵出去侦查,发现波斯王的军队已经离开了,才敢派士兵出来打扫战场。不过派出来的士兵不少,主要是怕遭遇波斯骑兵的突袭。 Also without arriving at battlefield, Davos on distantly sees the front sky, probably black, is circling the innumerable crow, that grating cry makes him feel the palpitation! 还没到战场,戴弗斯就远远的看到前方的天空,好像黑了一块似的,盘旋着数不清的乌鸦,那刺耳的叫声让他感到心悸！ Again to near, on lawns in a circumference of several miles, overlapping overspreading person corpse and horse corpse, on the corpse is the dense and numerous flies and insects, even the wild wolf and wild leopard are gnawing the food skeleton, saw that the person comes not to avoid, but is taking a look from afar, in the eye is flashing the cold light...... 再到近前,方圆几里的草地上,层层叠叠的铺满人尸、马尸,尸体上是密密麻麻的苍蝇和昆虫,甚至还有野狼、野豹在啃食尸骨,见到人来也不躲避,只是远远瞅着,眼中闪着寒光…… Davos steps every time one step, raises a fly, humming sound is calling, throws toward the face on, does not drive away loose. 戴弗斯每迈一步,就掀起一层苍蝇,嗡嗡叫着,直往脸上扑,驱赶不散。 Davos is pale, felt that the entire stomach is seething. 戴弗斯脸色苍白,感到整个胃都在翻腾。 „Davos, this scene you have also experienced multiple, how also to feel discomfort?!” In the Matonis concerned words has one to like. Because he felt Davos, although changed, but has the place that the need he looks. “戴弗斯,这种场面你也经历过多次了,怎么还感到不舒服呢？！”马托尼斯关切的话语中带有一丝欢喜。因为他觉得戴弗斯虽然变了,但还是有需要他照顾的地方。 „I am all right!...... Vomited......” Davos to make an effort to swallow a saliva. The memory remembers, the battlefield that this after all is his modern people witness this type bloody slaughters greatly for the first time. But he understands: In this tumultuous times, later such scene will also appear before him time and time again, he must adapt! “我没事！……呕……”戴弗斯使劲咽了口唾沫。记忆是记忆,这毕竟是他这个现代人第一次亲眼目睹这种血淋淋的大杀戮的战场。可是他心里明白:在这个乱世,以后这样的场景还会一次又一次的出现在他面前,他必须适应！ He loosens covers the hand of nose, forces to endure the odor of irritating the nose, opens the corpse of ground, extracts to press in the following shield, the fast racket goes to the above maggot, throws but actually on it the ox cart. 他松开捂住鼻子的手,强制忍受着刺鼻的恶臭,将地上的尸体挑开,抽出压在下面的盾牌,快速拍去上面的蛆虫,将它扔倒牛车上。 Just when arrived at the battlefield, the cow of trailer cannot endure this terrifying environment, throughout moved restlessly anxiously, but also nearly damaged Matonis, Davos offers advice, deceived its eyes with the linen, it was more peaceful. 刚到战场时,拖车的牛更不能忍受这种恐怖的环境,始终躁动不安,还险些撞伤了马托尼斯,还是戴弗斯出了个主意,用亚麻布蒙住它的双眼,它才安静了许多。 Everyone bustled about was very long, the ox cart has packed, everyone also held one bunch. 大家忙碌了很久,牛车已经装满,每人还抱了一捆。 „Davos?” Matonis discovered that in the team was short of a person. “戴弗斯呢？”马托尼斯发现队伍中少了一个人。 „There!” Olivos is pointing at not far away: Vulture javelin throw that Davos forward pecks the food corpse, actually by seemingly clumsy vulture agile make way. “那儿！”奥利弗斯指着不远处:戴弗斯正向一只啄食尸体的秃鹫投掷标枪,却被看似笨拙的秃鹫敏捷的闪开。 „It seems like he is plans to attend the javelin competition of Olympia!” Saying that Olivos cracks a joke. “看来他是准备参加奥林匹亚的标枪比赛！”奥利弗斯开玩笑的说道。 „Shut up!” Matonis stared his one eyes, then walks toward Davos. “闭嘴！”马托尼斯瞪了他一眼,然后朝戴弗斯走去。 Davos sees his arrival, quite natural picks up a javelin from the ground. Now, he has started to adapt to this bad circumstances. 戴弗斯看到他的到来,又相当自然的从地上捡起一根标枪。现在,他已经开始适应这个恶劣的环境。 „Matonis, how many people do our archers have?” Davos is stroking the sharp spear head with the hand, asked. “马托尼斯,我们的弓箭手有多少人？”戴弗斯用手抚摸着锋利的枪头,问道。 The issue of Matonis to this aspect does not excel completely, has careful Giorgris fortunately: „Archer?...... I remember probably only then Clearchus has about 300 Corlett archers hand/subordinate...... , if counted the peltast who can the javelin throw...... un...... probably possibly has completely...... has 3000 people.” 马托尼斯对这方面的问题完全不擅长,还好有细心的吉奥格里斯:“弓箭手？……我记得好像只有克利尔库斯手下有将近三百名克里特弓箭手……如果算上可以投掷标枪的轻盾兵……嗯全部……大概可能有……有三千人。” „3000 people. How many peltasts us has?” Davos asked. “三千人。咱们这边有多少轻盾兵？”戴弗斯问。 „Approximately has more than 400 people......” “大约有四百多人吧……” „Matonis, the javelin with not reducing fever , was very inferior that pitifully each of us equips 12 javelins, how do you feel?” Davos thinks, said “马托尼斯,标枪就别拿去烧了,挺可惜的,不如咱们每个人都装备一二支标枪,你觉得怎么样？”戴弗斯想了想,说道 Matonis had not replied, Olivos first said: „We are the rewiring infantries!” 马托尼斯还未回答,奥利弗斯抢先说道:“我们可是重装步兵！” „When facing the Persia cavalry, our heavy infantries are unable to be close to them, can only avoid the bow and arrow and javelin that they shoot!” Some Davos this propositions, are because in the memory of this body has this regret. When collects this type of wooden weapon, he suddenly had this inspiration, because he knows that historically another world-famous Rome heavy infantry not only close combat is astonishing, their javelins throw similarly frighteningly, therefore had this proposition. “但是面对波斯骑兵时,咱们重步兵无法接近他们,只能躲避他们射来的弓箭和标枪！”戴弗斯之所以有这个提议,是因为这个身体的记忆里留着这个遗憾。在收集这种木制武器的时候,他忽然有了这个灵感,因为他知道在历史上另一支举世闻名的罗马重步兵不但近战惊人,他们的标枪投掷同样令人恐惧,所以才有了这个提议。 „Ariaeus there has enough many cavalries.” Olivos said. “阿里柔斯那里有足够多的骑兵。”奥利弗斯说道。 Davos smiles: „Might as well depends on itself by others.” 戴弗斯笑了笑:“靠别人还不如靠自己。” „Is this Hades gives you ‚oracle’?” Giorgris urgently asked. “这是哈迪斯给你的‘神谕’吗？”吉奥格里斯急问。 Davos smiles but not answer. 戴弗斯笑而不答。 „I thought that this idea is good, went back to say with Hielos.” Matonis has taken the javelin in Davos hand, turns around, shoots the javelin suddenly, that only still in the vulture of pecking food falls to the ground. “我觉得这个主意不错,回去跟希洛斯说说。”马托尼斯拿过戴弗斯手中的标枪,一转身,猛然将标枪掷出,那只还在啄食的秃鹫栽倒在地。 „But, Davos, your javelin technology also needs quite easy to learn!” Matonis self-satisfied saying. “不过,戴弗斯,你的标枪技术还需要好好学！”马托尼斯得意的说道。 Greek Hoplite does not use the javelin is only the issue of a traditional and custom, is the Greeks javelin technology is not bad, even in the Mediterranean area is top, because the javelin is one of the Olympic Games pentathlons, the Greek boys start to train these in the arena since childhood. 希腊重步兵不使用标枪只是一个传统和习惯的问题,可是希腊人的标枪技术并不差,甚至在地中海地区算是顶尖的,因为标枪是奥林匹亚运动会五项全能之一,希腊男孩从小就在竞技场开始训练这些。 „Good! At noon not only has the beef and lamb to eat, the bird meat eats!” “太好了！中午不但有牛羊肉吃,还有鸟肉吃！” „I heard that the meat of this bird is unedible, because it from hell......” “我听说这种鸟的肉不能吃,因为它来自地狱……” ........................... ……………………… In the camps, the domestic animal has butchered, the meat has cut, places in the earthenware jar, is filled with the water, on the earth stove of temporary build, is ready. 营地里,牲畜已经宰完,肉已切好,放在瓦罐里,盛满水,架在临时搭建的土灶上,一切就绪。 Everyone pulls back the weapon, chops into pieces them, lights a fire to cook the meat. 大家拉回武器,将它们劈碎,烧火煮肉。 Matonis told Hielos the idea of Davos. 马托尼斯将戴弗斯的想法告诉了希洛斯。 Since is „god family” proposition, after Hielos prudent consideration, thought that this idea can accept: The javelin is not heavy, a heavy infantry carries two javelins, can definitely accept. Therefore, he looks for Antonios, hopes that can be supported. 既然是“神眷者”的提议,希洛斯慎重的考虑之后,觉得这个想法可以接受:标枪并不重,一个重步兵携带两只标枪,完全可以接受。于是,他去找安东尼奥斯,希望能得到支持。 Antonios called hand/subordinate other nine platoon leader, wants first to listen to their ideas. Some platoon leader approvals, some oppositions. The opponents hold to the Greek Hoplite tradition, and thinks: Meno has 500 peltasts, lets the heavy infantry again with the javelin, does not need completely ; The supportors think: Although in the camp has 500 peltasts, but they are Thracian, both sides coordinate is not quite tacit. Heavy infantry have the javelin, at least can force the Persia cavalry not to dare to approach, to reduce casualties. both sides were unyielding, Antonios is unable to make a decision, has saying: So long as does not affect to battle, various squads decide whether carries the javelin. 安东尼奥斯把手下其余九个小队长都叫过来,想先听听他们的想法。小队长们有的赞成,有的反对。反对者固守希腊重步兵的传统,而且认为:梅农手下已有五百轻盾兵,再让重步兵拿标枪,完全没必要;赞成者则认为:虽然营地里有五百轻盾兵,但他们都是色雷斯人,双方配合并不太默契。重步兵自己拥有标枪,至少可以逼迫波斯骑兵不敢太靠近,以减少伤亡。双方争执不下,安东尼奥斯无法决断,只好说:只要不影响作战,各小队自行决定是否携带标枪。 Hielos happy coming back, prepared to say with Davos, actually discovered one group of people drooled with envy is staring in the earthenware jar the surges flesh lump, was short of Davos only. 希洛斯高兴的回来,准备跟戴弗斯说,却发现一群人垂涎欲滴的盯着瓦罐里翻腾的肉块,唯独少了戴弗斯。 „Davos?” “戴弗斯呢？” „Said that has a look at the internal organs of discarded these domestic animals...... added anything wasted......” “说是去看看被扔掉的那些牲畜的内脏……还说什么浪费……” Everyone obscure time, sees Davos to select exaggeration sheep's intestines with the lance, walks. 大家正费解的时候,就看见戴弗斯用长矛挑着一根血乎乎的羊肠,走过来。 „Hey, moves away this stinking bum quickly! Affects our appetites!” The people cover the nose to yell. “嘿,快把这臭东西拿开！影响我们的食欲！”众人捂住鼻子大叫。 Davos has not paid attention, instead said loudly: „I saw there the military baggage camp to discard a lot of cattle internal organs, whatever the bird and wild dog held in the mouth, this too wasted! Don't forget, couple of days ago we were hungry wish one could to eat our hand! In the future several days, the combat marches, will also possibly have starving time, we should pick these things, when stockpiles, to prevent this matter happened again, we have the thing to eat!” 戴弗斯没有理会,反而大声说道:“我看到辎重营地那儿丢弃了大量的牛羊内脏,任由鸟儿和野狗叼走,这太浪费了！别忘了,前两天我们饿得恨不能把自己的手吃下去！往后几天,无论是作战还是行军,还可能会有挨饿的时候,我们应该把这些东西捡回来,并储备起来,以防止这种事情再发生时,我们还有东西吃！” „Can these things eat?” A strong soldier asked. “那些东西能吃吗？”一个强壮的士兵问道。 Davos remembers that he called Martius, lived in the soldier of another tent, his issue everyone wants to ask. Greeks mainly uses the grain as the staple food, eating the meat is few, is only in this thorough Persia, because of the reason of logistics replenishment, starts to eat the meat frequently. The animal internal organs not only hear the stench, but also in lacking spice and in the situation of cooking, eating the fishy smell is very heavy, therefore except for using it practices divination, few people will attempt to eat it, even thinks that will eat it to be poisoned. 戴弗斯记得他叫马尔提乌斯,是住在另一个帐篷的士兵,他的问题正是大家所想问的。希腊人主要以谷物为主食,吃肉很少,只是这次深入波斯境内,因为后勤供应的原因,才开始频繁吃肉。动物内脏不但闻起来腥臭,而且在缺乏香料和烹饪方法的情况下,吃起来腥味很重,所以除了用它来占卜,很少有人会去尝试吃它,甚至认为吃它会中毒。 „Naturally can eat! These things not only have the battalion very much...... not only can fill our bellies, but can also improve our bodies. For example, can make us see clearly in the night.” Davos affirmative reply. “当然能吃！这些东西不但很有营……不但能填饱我们的肚子,而且能改善我们的身体。比如说,能让我们在夜里看得更清楚。”戴弗斯肯定的回答。 „Really?! That was good!” Matonis happy saying. “真的？！那太好了！”马托尼斯高兴的说道。 The five person face suspicions of another tent. 另一个帐篷的五个人则一脸怀疑。 „Davos, but ‚god family’! Do you know? Before he threw down in the battlefield, after the stupor,......” Olivos started to boast the Davos two days remarkable change to them. “戴弗斯可是‘神眷者’！你们知道吗？之前他在战场上摔倒,昏迷后……”奥利弗斯开始向他们吹嘘戴弗斯这两天的惊人变化。
