Mazzara is the cities that a Phoenician establishes, has turned over to Carthage to have jurisdiction , so that city more than 30 li (0.5 km), but Carthage army slow-moving, not only some large quantities of military baggage, Monta Desnot also led some Carthage merchants, even prostitute, therefore the team is extremely fat, but also the formation somewhat is also scattered in disorder, the marching speed is quite slow. 马扎拉是一座腓尼基人建立的城镇,早就归迦太基管辖,相距利利俾城不过30多里地,但是迦太基大军行动缓慢,不但有大批辎重,蒙特阿德诺还带了一些迦太基商人,甚至还有妓女,因此队伍臃肿,而且队形也有些散乱,行军速度较为缓慢。 Next day, the team continues, arrived in the toward evening again was away from Mazzara about 40 li (0.5 km) Sellin Nuse city. 第二天,队伍继续前行,再次在黄昏时分到达了距离马扎拉大约40里的塞林努斯城。 Sellin Nuse is the Greek colonizers establishes, once was well-known Sicily by the wealthy agriculture and fishery. During Peloponnesian War, it with being away from it not far, Saige Starck situated in its Northwest clashes, finally becomes the Athens army to expedite the Sicily cause. But during later Carthage and Syracuse long-term fight, Sellin Nuse and Saige Starck this pair is in west Sicily and to surround Greek colonizing cities in the Phoenicia cities to be attacked and occupied repeatedly repeatedly, its Greek resident many escaped east Sicily, many of afterward moving into were the Phoenician, therefore when initially Theonia and Carthage signed the agreement, Davos will agree to incorporate into the Carthage jurisdiction Sellin Nuse. 塞林努斯是希腊殖民者建立的,曾经以富裕的农业和渔业闻名西西里。在伯罗奔尼撒战争期间,它与距离其不远的、位于其西北方的塞格斯塔发生冲突,结果成为雅典大军远征西西里的诱因。而在随后迦太基与锡拉库扎长期的战斗中,塞林努斯和塞格斯塔这一对处于西西里西部、在腓尼基城镇包围之中的希腊殖民城镇反复多次被攻占,其希腊居民多数都逃到了西西里东部,后来迁入的多是腓尼基人,因此在当初戴奥尼亚与迦太基签订协议的时候,戴弗斯才会同意将塞林努斯划归迦太基管辖。 Third day, the Carthage army arrived at another town Heermei ( Thermae ) when the dusk, the Carthage soldiers who march although feel exhausted, but on the face the facial expression is excited. 第三天,迦太基大军又是在黄昏时到达了另一座城镇赫尔梅(Thermae),一路行军的迦太基士兵们虽然感到疲惫,但脸上神情却非常兴奋。 Has a look at this town name to know, this place has the hot spring. Initially was because here Caro Loshan had the hot spring, Sellin Nuse talent constructed a village here, when Carthaginians seized here, after Theonia strengthened the friendly communication, the Thurii hot spring big bathing place inspires Carthaginians that the merchant came, therefore they vigorously developed here, built up several with the Thurii similar hot spring bathing place, attracted innumerable Carthaginians to come this to enjoy bathing of sulphur-spring, this village also quick development cities. 看看这个城镇名字就知道,这个地方有温泉。当初就是因为这里的卡洛盖罗山里有温泉,塞林努斯人才在这里建了一个村庄,等到迦太基人占领这里、在同戴奥尼亚加强友好来往之后,图里伊的温泉大浴场启发了商人出身的迦太基人,于是他们大力的开发了这里,建起了好几个与图里伊相似的温泉浴场,吸引了无数的迦太基人来此享受硫磺温泉的沐浴,这个村庄也很快的发展成了一个城镇。 The soldiers built the camp simply, going take a bath in turn, but Monta Desnot even summoned several women, accompanies oneself altogether bath. 士兵们简单的修筑了营地,就分批的去泡澡,而蒙特阿德诺甚至召了几个女人,陪自己共浴。 Next day, passed through the Carthage army of hot spring wash, general or the soldiers are full of energy, step lively continuation to march to east. 第二天,经过了温泉洗涤的迦太基大军,无论是将领还是士兵都精神抖擞、步履轻快的继续向东进军。 In the afternoon, the army arrived at Heraclea Heraclea Minoa city. This is a Greeks colonizing city, is situated on the hill of Hallikas east bank of Hekou, is overlooking the West bank fertile lowland, protect the east harbor. This more than ten years, this city-state and Theonia communication is close, even because of its name, the Heraclea city that but also manages with the kingdom established the friendly period. Therefore regarding inducing somebody to capitulate of Carthaginians, gave the rejection that the Heraclea Minoa person was without hesitation. 下午时分,军队到达了赫拉克利亚-米诺亚城。这是一个希腊人的殖民城,坐落在哈利卡斯河口东岸的山丘之上,俯瞰着西岸肥沃的低地,环卫着东面的港口。这十多年来,这个城邦与戴奥尼亚来往密切,甚至因为其名字,还与王国下辖的赫拉克利亚城建立了友好的紧密联系。因此对于迦太基人的劝降,米诺亚人毫不迟疑的予以了拒绝。 Some Monta Desnot expectations, he orders the army to pitch camp west bank Harry Cass River early. 蒙特阿德诺对此早有预料,他命令大军在哈利卡斯河西岸扎营。 Later three days, Carthaginians is conducting is attacking a city the preparation, and Carthage express steamer of dispatching eastern coast investigation feeds in the news: Had not discovered that Theonia sends out the reinforcements to go forward to Heraclea Minoa. 之后的三天,迦太基人都在进行着攻城准备,并且派往东部海岸探查的迦太基快船传回消息:并没有发现戴奥尼亚派出援军向米诺亚前进。 Monta Desnot in the heart calm, decided launches the general attack immediately tomorrow to the Heraclea Minoa city. 蒙特阿德诺顿时心中大定,决定于明日向米诺亚城发动全面进攻。 He actually does not know: Sent out 1000 soldiers in the northwest side and Sicily inland of center Heraclea Minoa city various Siculi tribes in graciousness that city early, is surmounting the mountain ridge, the climbing mountains and crossing rivers river valley, toward Heraclea Minoa. 他却不知道:在米诺亚城的西北面、西西里内陆中心的恩那城中的西凯尔各部落早派出了一千名战士,正在翻越山岭,跋涉河谷,朝着米诺亚而来。 Next day, the Carthage army crossed Harry Cass River, arrives under the Heraclea Minoa city, the dispelling battle formation, surrounds the Heraclea Minoa city all round, then sounds to attack the bugle. 第二天,迦太基大军渡过哈利卡斯河,抵达米诺亚城下,排开阵势,将米诺亚城团团包围,然后吹响进攻军号。 The Heraclea Minoa city is not big, the population are not quite many, young and middle-aged citizen soldier who the entire city can battle less than 4000 people, before the city, does not have the moat, hill that its is at highly less than 150 meters, and gradient is gentle. However the Heraclea Minoa person obeys the team officer's instruction that Theonia sends completely, not only arranged large number of traps, but also felled on the hill all trees, even exhausted can make the rock of attack shield, treated as the stone of defense wound enemy to use. 米诺亚城并不大,人口也不太多,全城能够作战的青壮年公民兵不足4000人,城前没有护城河,其所在的山丘高度不足一百五十米,而且坡度平缓。但是米诺亚人完全听从戴奥尼亚派来的队官的指导,不但布置了大量的陷阱,而且砍伐掉了山丘上所有的树木,甚至挖掉了可以作进攻掩护的岩石,当做防御伤敌的石块用。 But large-scale attacking a city instrument of Carthage manufacture because of existence of hill, if before wants to advance the city, not only need spend more manpower, its action inevitably is also slow, because the attack of crossbow artillery also the distance is excessively far, and might reduce greatly, Nummi Biya soldier who therefore holds the post of the attack main force carries the scaling ladder, to forefront, finally they deeply by the puzzle of trap. 而迦太基制作的大型攻城器械因为山丘的存在,要想推到城前,不但要花费更多的人力,其行动也必然非常缓慢,弩炮的进攻也因为距离过远,准度和威力都大减,因此担任进攻主力的努米比亚士兵扛着云梯,冲在最前面,结果他们深受陷阱的困扰。 Moreover the Heraclea Minoa person's under Carthage army toward the city attacks the crowded place to push to fall to polish the circular big stone downward, the stone tumbles toward the mountain, steamroll many Nummi Biya soldier, even also crashes the attacking a city instrument, eventually causes the attacking a city army to retreat...... 而且米诺亚人朝着城下迦太基大军进攻密集的地方往下推落一颗颗打磨成圆形的大石,石头朝着山下滚落,一路碾压不少努米比亚士兵,甚至还撞毁攻城器械,最终导致攻城部队溃退…… Monta Desnot in the big tent/account knows the combat situation, does not worry, the order army rallies the formation , to continue to attack. 蒙特阿德诺在大帐内得知战情之后,并不着急,命令部队重整阵型,继续进攻。 Saw morale not high Nummi Biya soldier sluggish goes forward toward the Heraclea Minoa city, in the heart anxious Mill Fiault intrudes the big tent/account, requests to send to be responsible for the main attack the Saint regimental head quarter team that he leads to Monta Desnot, is rejected by this commander, his sincere persuasion: „Attacking such topography is important, defense firm city, is not 1-2 days can be successful, we must have the patience! Our sacred regiment armies and Carthage citizen soldiers, the Phoenicia soldiers life of allied country is even precious, cannot consume in the difficult long siege warfare. But Nummi Biya person not only person many, but also humble, died one batch, draws one batch again and that's the end, this also benefits the stability of Nummi Biya area......” 看到士气不高的努米比亚士兵慢吞吞的朝着米诺亚城前进,心中焦急的米勒菲奥闯入大帐,向蒙特阿德诺要求将他所率领的圣团部队派上去担任主攻,遭到这位统帅的拒绝,他语重心长的劝说道:“攻打这样地势险要、防御坚固的城池,不是1-2就能够成功的,我们要有耐心！我们的神圣军团部队、迦太基公民兵、甚至盟邦的腓尼基士兵们都生命宝贵,不能消耗在艰苦漫长的攻城战中。而努米比亚人不但人多、而且低贱,死了一批,再拉来一批就是了,这样也有利于努米比亚地区的稳定……” Mill Fiault is silent. 米勒菲奥默然。 By afternoon, the Carthage army attacked to the city, started frigid swarm on to attack a city. 到了下午时分,迦太基军队攻至城下,开始了惨烈的蚁附攻城。 When the fight conducts the superheating, outside the Heraclea Minoa north city, the battlefield rear area resound the bugle horn sound, over a thousand Siculi soldiers ran out of the north mountain ridge, kills to the battling Carthage army. 战斗进行到白热化时,米诺亚北城外、战场后方响起号角声,上千名西凯尔战士冲出了北面的山岭,杀向正在激战的迦太基军队。 Careless Monta Desnot by information influence of express steamer return, after attacking a city to start, has not sent out the scout and mounted scout to investigate the battlefield surrounding enemy intelligence, has not especially set up the preparation army that takes the guard behind the attacking a city army, particularly in Heraclea Minoa city north surface. 疏忽大意的蒙特阿德诺受快船回报的信息影响,在攻城开始之后,既没有派出探子、侦骑探查战场周围的敌情,也没有在攻城部队后方专门设立作为护卫的预备部队,尤其是在米诺亚城北面。 The Siculi soldier only wears the cotton robe, grasps the lance and javelin, therefore the speed is quick, in an instant climbs up the hill, goes to under the city, is attacking to Nummi Biya soldier who attacks a city full power, originally morale not high Nummi Biya person immediately rout. 西凯尔战士只穿着布袍,手持长矛和标枪,因此速度快捷,转眼就爬上山丘,跑到城下,对正在全力攻城的努米比亚士兵进行攻击,原本士气就不高的努米比亚人顿时溃败。 north city the rout outside of Nummi Biya person affects other directions armies quickly, the soldiers is yelling startled: „The reinforcements of enemy came! The reinforcements of enemy come!......” Rushes to be first runs toward the mountain, its speed even surpassed pursued their Siculians, these mountain people dumbfounded looks that tens of thousands of Nummi Biya soldier tide escaped Harry Cass River generally fast, even coerced is coming to stop their Unit Carthage, ran into the big camp together. 北城外的努米比亚人的溃败很快影响到其它方向的部队,士兵们惊慌的叫喊着:“敌人的援军来了！敌人的援军来！……”争先恐后的往山下跑,其速度甚至超过了追击他们的西凯尔人,这些山民们目瞪口呆的看着成千上万的努米比亚士兵潮水一般飞快的逃过哈利卡斯河,甚至裹挟着前来阻拦他们的迦太基,一起逃入了大营。 Mill Fiault leads the Saint group cavalries and infantries, bypasses the routed troop, the reinforcements that goes to stop the enemy, he discovered finally these equipment are simple, quantity not many enemies have not entered the Heraclea Minoa city, but fast and ran into the mountain ridge. 米勒菲奥带着圣团骑兵和步兵,绕过溃兵,前去阻拦敌人的援军,结果他发现这些装备简单、数量不多的敌人没有进入米诺亚城,而是飞快的又跑入了山岭之中。 Solemn Carthage tens of thousands armies unexpectedly by merely thousand people of Siculi mountain people repelling! In Fellow Miauld heart is angry the incomparable shame. 堂堂迦太基几万军队竟然被仅仅千人的西凯尔山民给击退！菲洛米奥心中感到无比的羞愧和愤怒。 However, Monta Desnot facial expression is actually tranquil, in his opinion: Although the attack of Siculians caused the rout of attacking a city army, the casualty of but causing not big( also less than 1000 people), regarding like the siege warfare of scale, at all is not anything. On the contrary, the attack of Siculians was exposing the Theonian intention, so long as the Carthage army strengthens the alert, Siculians is impossible to cause any losses to the army again. 但是,蒙特阿德诺倒是神情平静,在他看来:虽然西凯尔人的袭击导致了攻城部队的溃败,但造成的死伤并不大(还不到1000人),对于像这样规模的攻城战来说,根本不算什么。相反,西凯尔人的袭击正暴露了戴奥尼亚人的意图,只要迦太基军队加强戒备,西凯尔人不可能再对军队造成任何损失。 Listened to Monta Desnot's comfort, Mill Fiault returns to the camp, in the heart is still uneven, he felt indistinctly Monta Desnot enterprise is insufficient, a direction such huge army seems like the ability is also insufficient, therefore he writes a letter to give oneself father-in-law Hanno(Hannonian) immediately, expressed own worry to him. 听了蒙特阿德诺的安慰,米勒菲奥回到营中,心中犹自不平,他隐约感到蒙特阿德诺进取心不足、指挥这样一支庞大的军队似乎能力也不够,所以他立刻写信给自己的岳父汉诺,向他表达了自己的担忧。 Two days later, an express steamer from Carthage brought the Hanno(Hannonian) personal letter, in letter/believes: Hanno(Hannonian) warned that Monta Desnot treats this war to whole-heartedly, obtain some victories as soon as possible, making council know that he assigns Monta Desnot to hold the post of the army command is the correct decision! 两天之后,一艘来自迦太基的快船带来了汉诺的亲笔信,在信中:汉诺警告蒙特阿德诺对待这场战争要全力以赴,尽快取得些战果,让元老院知道他指定蒙特阿德诺担任军队统帅是正确的决定！ Meanwhile, he also warned Monta Desnot: Do not be careless, making the army suffer the loss! Otherwise, even some council people do not impeach him, he is unable to face the anger of people! 同时,他还告诫蒙特阿德诺:不要再疏忽大意,让军队遭受损失！否则,即使元老院有些人不弹劾他,他也无法面对民众的怒火！ Reads the letter/believes, Monta Desnot felt that pressure, in his finally no longer sprawling drunk big tent/account, reorganizes the army personally, the command soldiers launches the attack to the Heraclea Minoa city. 看完信,蒙特阿德诺感觉到了压力,他终于不再醉卧大帐中,亲自整顿军队,指挥士兵们向米诺亚城发动进攻。 But the Heraclea Minoa person makes the best use of these 2-3 days of relaxation times, before arranging, by defense facility that Carthaginians destroys, makes very big trouble to the Carthage army again. 而米诺亚人抓紧这2-3天的休息时间,重新布置了之前被迦太基人破坏的防御设施,再次给迦太基军队造成很大的麻烦。 When Carthaginians attacks a city, Siculians walks randomly in the battlefield edge, once for a while makes a harassing attack, is also nearly burning the Carthage camp one time. Although Monta Desnot has the protection early, the losses that its causes are not big, but they actually diverted Carthaginians many energy. But in the Carthage army, is not only the cavalry, the infantries are the plain and desert from Africa, absolutely does not have Unit Siculi that the mountain ridge goes easily and freely not to have the means with this disbursement. 在迦太基人攻城期间,西凯尔人则游走在战场边缘,时不时进行袭扰,有一次还险些烧着了迦太基的营地。虽然蒙特阿德诺对此早有防备,其所造成的损失并不大,但是他们却牵制了迦太基人不少的精力。而在迦太基大军中,不光是骑兵,就连步兵都是来自阿非利加的平原和沙漠,完全拿这支出没山岭如履平地的西凯尔没有办法。 When Monta Desnot racks brains, remembered the life in the Sicily west mountainous area, attached in the Carthaginians person, therefore he sends people to order, so that Sami Murai, making him immediately organize an army of person, sending Heraclea Minoa to battle. 蒙特阿德诺苦思冥想之余,才想起了生活在西西里西部山区,附属于迦太基人的西坎人,于是他派人命令利利俾的瑟米姆雷,让他迅速组织起一支西坎人的部队,派到米诺亚来作战。 But „thousand Siculi soldiers rout Carthage 40,000 attacking a city armies” the news also passed to similarly in Theonia Commander Sicily of Catania close attention war in the Leotychides ear, making him also feel the surprise. 而“一千西凯尔战士击溃迦太基4万攻城大军”的消息同样也传到了在卡塔奈密切关注战事的戴奥尼亚西西里指挥官列奥提齐德斯耳中,让他也倍感诧异。 After inquired in detail process of entire fight, he is staring at the map, is lost in thought. 在详细询问了整个战斗的过程之后,他盯着地图,陷入了沉思。 Crossed long time, he put out the intelligence service to look repeatedly several to his information of related this Carthage army, finally sets firm resolve. 过了良久,他又拿出情报部门给他的有关这支迦太基军队的信息反复的看了好几遍,终于下定了决心。 Quick, Sicily wartime governor Siprus hurriedly catches up: „Sir Ploso Oursse, worries asks me to come, was the war changed?!” 很快,西西里战时总督西普洛斯急匆匆的赶来:“普洛索乌斯大人,这么着急的找我来,是不是战局发生了变化？！”
