Mil Tiyas listened, looking pensive. 米尔提亚斯听了,若有所思。 „Also a little, you best because of the harbor of Sipontum city arrange several express steamers, once I needs the fourth fleet to assist the time, can inform you rapidly.” “还有一点,你最好在西彭图姆城的港口安排几条快船,一旦我需要第四舰队协助的时候,能够迅速通知到你。” Mil Tiyas listens to this saying, discontented shouting: „Our fourth fleet altogether 100 warships! Must inspect such long coastline, obstructs any from the hostile forces of marine attack, but must assist you to battle...... my warship and sailor is completely insufficient!” 米尔提亚斯听完这话,不满的喊道:“我们第四舰队总共才一百艘战船！要巡视这么漫长的海岸线,阻截任何从海上来袭的敌对势力,还要协助你作战……我的战船和水手完全不够！” „If the fourth fleet performs well in this war, I think that the military affairs section will certainly consider to increase the scale of fourth fleet.” Alexius can only drive to say like this. “如果第四舰队在这场战争中表现优异,我想军务部一定会考虑增加第四舰队的规模。”阿莱克西斯只能这样激励道。 ................................................ ………………………………………… Pleasanton Gullers gathers quickly the fourth cavalry corps, Alexius leads these 2000 cavalries immediately, had/left Brindisi, to north, entered the Peuceti area rapidly. 普莱古勒斯很快集合了第四骑兵军团,阿莱克西斯立刻带领这两千名骑兵,出了布林迪西,迅速向北,进入普切蒂地区。 At dusk, finally arrived in the military compound near Silvium city. 到了傍晚时分,终于抵达西尔维姆城附近的军营。 After fourth legatus Meri mountain Da welcomed the military compound Alexius personally, has rushed about Alexius that a day, had almost not stood still somewhat to be tired walks sways, after all the year 50 he has been possible not to have the young people exuberant energy, but he still also in concerned inquiry: „Has the tenth regiment convened?” 当第四军团长梅利山达亲自将阿莱克西斯迎进军营之后,已经奔波了一天、几乎没有停歇的阿莱克西斯已经累得走路都有些摇晃,毕竟年过50的他可没有年轻人旺盛的精力,但他仍然还在关切的询问:“第十军团都已经召集起来了吗？” „Brothers in military compound.” This youngest legatus sound loud and clear saying: „You orders on and other commanders, we go to the battlefield immediately.” “兄弟们都在军营里。”这位最年轻的军团长声音洪亮的说道:“就等指挥官你一声令下,我们就立刻奔赴战场。” „Arranges the lodgings of cavalry corps, arranges a sleeping place to me, making me sleep well.” Is stranded intent to upwell, Alexius could not bear have a yawn: „Tomorrow...... very early in the morning, we!” “安排好骑兵军团的住宿,也给我安排一个睡觉的地方,让我好好睡一觉。”困意上涌,阿莱克西斯忍不住打了一个哈欠:“明天……一早,我们就出发！” The officers who the surroundings hear this words are excited. 周围听到这个话的将士们都一脸兴奋。 ................................................... …………………………………………… The 2nd day early morning, the bugle of camp sounded. 第二日一大早,营地的军号就吹响了。 The soldiers of tenth regiment and fourth cavalry corps according to requirement, not make into the armor and weapon wrap and select on the shoulder, but dresses in a hurry, goes out of the barracks, catches up to the drill ground. 第十军团和第四骑兵军团的士兵们按照要求,没有将盔甲和武器打成包裹、挑在肩上,而是匆匆穿戴好,走出营房,赶向操场。 But in the camp conference room, Alexius and Meri mountain Da, Pleasanton Gullers held a brief military conference urgently. 而在营地会议室里,阿莱克西斯和梅利山达、普莱古勒斯紧急召开了一个简短的军事会议。 „Now, the enemy intelligence in Dauni area how?” Alexius asked. “现在,道尼地区的敌情怎样？”阿莱克西斯问道。 As neighboring the tenth regiment of Dauni area, the Meri mountain reaches the nature understanding the situation is most, is most prompt, he replies immediately: „According to the return of yesterday's mounted scout, the Samnites large unit is surrounding Asculum and Rom city as before, occupies the enemies in Gelug Umm city not to leave, but there are minority Samnites to crash in the Dauni center, conducted to plunder......” 作为紧邻道尼地区的第十军团,梅利山达自然了解的情况是最多的、也是最及时的,他立刻回答道:“根据昨天侦骑的回报,萨莫奈人的大部队依旧在包围阿斯库鲁姆和维宾鲁姆城,占据格鲁乌姆城的敌人也还没有离开,不过有少数的萨莫奈人冲进了道尼的腹地,进行抢掠……” In fact, invades from Samnites now, but passed two days of much time, Samnites is impossible to attack the new goal on the shift quickly. 事实上,从萨莫奈人入侵到现在,不过才过去了两天多的时间,萨莫奈人不可能这么快就转移去袭击新的目标。 Alexius then also asked: „The 11 th regiment where?” 阿莱克西斯接着又问道:“第十一军团在哪里？” „Still is guarding the military compound.” Meri mountain Da replied. “还在驻守着军营。”梅利山达回答。 Two years ago when attacks and occupies the Dauni area, Alexius is quite familiar with there terrain. 两年前攻占道尼地区时,阿莱克西斯就已经对那里的地形比较熟悉。 Dauni small and medium town Lucera is not located in the center of Dauni area, but northwest the deviation, is nearer from the Samnium mountainous area, moreover its west side big cities as the barrier, Samnites have not attacked from the mountainous area, the speed quick words, only require quite a while in the multi- time, can go straight to under the city, after the Dauni area was conquered, Antonios becomes the Lucera chief executive, the chief executive of this legatus family background to Davos writes a letter to suggest: Was located in the west side of Lucera city the military compound of Dauni area, as a security of fort guard Lucera city. 道尼的中心城镇卢塞尼亚并不位于道尼地区的中心,而更偏向西北,距离萨莫奈山区较近,而且其西侧并没有大的城镇作为屏障,萨莫奈人从山区上突袭过来,速度快的话,只需半天多时间内,就可以直抵城下,所以在道尼地区被征服、安东尼奥斯就任卢塞尼亚的行政长官之后,这位军团长出身的行政长官就向戴弗斯写信建议:将道尼地区的军营设在了卢塞尼亚城的西侧,作为一个要塞护卫卢塞尼亚城的安全。 This suggestion obtained the authorization of Davos. 这个建议获得了戴弗斯的批准。 In Asculum and Rom and Gelug Umm suffer the attack and Lucera city possibly to receive in the situations of three converging attack, the newly-built 11 th regiment guards the military compound, to wait for the reinforcements is the safe approach. 所以在阿斯库鲁姆、维宾鲁姆和格鲁乌姆都遭受攻击、卢塞尼亚城可能会受到三面夹击的情况下,新建的第十一军团驻守军营、以待援军是稳妥的做法。 Alexius pondered a while, made decided: „The tenth regiment and fourth cavalry corps cross the river from the Ofanto River upstream, goes to rescue Ascoz Rome directly!” 阿莱克西斯沉思了一会儿,就做出了决定:“第十军团和第四骑兵军团从奥凡托河上游渡河,直接前往救援阿斯库罗姆！” „Yes!” Pleasanton Gullers and Meri mountain Da are excited. “是！”普莱古勒斯和梅利山达都感到兴奋。 Adjutant you Mathesius reminded: „Commander Sir, we do not know how many have now in Ascoz Rome's enemy specifically? Has the ambush?...... Solely depended upon a regiment and cavalry goes to attack to be too risky? Must be vigilant the lesson of first regiment!” 副官攸马特修斯则提醒道:“指挥官大人,现在我们并不知道在阿斯库罗姆的敌人具体有多少？有没有埋伏？……仅仅依靠一个军团和骑兵前去进攻会不会太冒险了？要警惕第一军团的教训！” „I believe the battle efficiency of tenth regiment and fourth cavalry corps! Also believes that Samnites will not expect our reinforcements will launch the attack to them quickly, this will make them lack the protection!” Alexius holds up the head slightly, self-confident saying: „Even if Ascoz Rome really has the Samnites large unit, can surround us. So long as we can persevere, I believe that Kapus and Antonios, have Tiger to raise Ross certainly to catch up to rescue full power, happen to can defeat the Samnites main force at one fell swoop!” “我相信第十军团和第四骑兵军团的战斗力！也相信萨莫奈人不会料想到我们的援军会这么快就向他们发动了进攻,这将让他们缺乏防备！”阿莱克西斯微微昂起头,自信的说道:“就算阿斯库罗姆真的有萨莫奈人的大部队,能将我们包围。只要我们能坚守住,我相信卡普斯、安东尼奥斯、还有泰格提洛斯一定会全力赶来救援,正好可以一举将萨莫奈人主力击败！” Alexius has looked at the combat report of first regiment, he is very clear: The military and branch of the services that although oneself present leads with rescued Volsci Amintas to be similar some time ago, but fights in isolation differently with Amintas, his is battles in the border! 阿莱克西斯看过第一军团的战报,他很清楚:虽然自己现在所率的兵力和兵种都跟不久前救援沃尔西的阿明塔斯非常相似,但和阿明塔斯孤军作战不同,他这可是在国境内作战！ He believes: In the event of exceptionally, Kapus and Antonios...... these old friends will certainly rescue full power, even before, some of some of he and Antonios also small contradictions. 他坚信:一旦出现异常,卡普斯、安东尼奥斯……这些老战友一定会全力救援,即使在之前,他和安东尼奥斯还有一些小的矛盾。 ....................................... ………………………………… The one who besieges Ascoz Rome city is mainly the Pentri clan and tribe. Should say their attack unusual sudden, when enters in Ascoz Rome, Ascoz Romani people are still herding the cattle or the planter farmland, has not guarded completely. 围攻阿斯库罗姆城的是主要是彭特尼部族。应该说他们的袭击非常的突然,在杀入阿斯库罗姆境内的时候,阿斯库罗姆人还在放牧牛羊或者种植农田,完全没有防备。 Knows the Samnites invasion, a lot of people startled runs toward the city , the Samnium soldier pursues tightly after that in attempts to take the opportunity to clash enters a city. 得知萨莫奈人入侵,不少民众惊慌的往城内跑,萨莫奈战士紧追其后,妄图借机冲进城内。 However Ascoz Rome's chief executive is Huger Tus, this past Tribe leaders Zeng Yong dare to revolt against the oppression of Bruttii tribe alliance in the past, raised Theonia to conquer the Bruttii war, afterward assisted Hielos to participate in South-Italian War, the city chief executive who the later more than ten years has held the post of the Bruttii area, the Messapi area and Peuceti area, was transferred until the year before last to the Dauni area, can say his administrative personal history was not only rich, was not strange regarding the military. 但是阿斯库罗姆的行政长官是赫格西图斯,这位昔日的西伦部落首领当年曾勇敢反抗布鲁提部落联盟的压迫,掀起了戴奥尼亚征服布鲁提的战争,后来又协助希洛斯参与了南意战争,之后的十多年担任过布鲁提地区、梅萨皮地区、普切蒂地区的城市行政长官,直到前年被调任至道尼地区,可以说他的行政履历不但丰富,对于军事也不陌生。 Several months ago, he receives the military affairs section sending in warning: Requests Dauni various cities to strengthen the security, attack of careful Samnites! 在几个月前,他接到军务部发来的警告:要求道尼的各城镇加强警戒,小心萨莫奈人的袭击！ He has not regarded as the child's play it, not only assembled the people to reinforce city garrison, increased the population of inspection team to strengthen the patrol of top, with will participate in the citizen of military training to gather in Market Village several days later, trains one and two hours of formation and battle, will also have the citizen of horses to form a squad, every day arrived at the west at the foot of the mountain patrol in turn...... 他就没有将其视为儿戏,不但调集民众加固了城防,增加了巡查队的人数以加强城头的巡逻,同时隔几天就将参加过军事训练的公民在城市广场集合,演练一、两个小时的列阵和厮杀,还将有马匹的公民编成了一个小队,每一天轮流到西面的山脚下巡逻…… Dozens days pass by, in the Samnium mountainous area all, do not have the trace of war as usual, because under subordinate multiple advice( frequently conducts military training after all, will not favor forthcoming spring sowing), he relaxed the security slightly, will reduce the training, has not thought at this moment, Samnites killed. 几十天过去,萨莫奈山区里一切如常、没有战争的痕迹,由于属下的多次劝告下(毕竟频繁进行军事训练,不利于即将开始的春播),他才略微放松了警戒,减少训练,没想到就在这时,萨莫奈人杀来了。 Went out of town Ascoz Rome mounted scout of patrol soon to discover the enemy intelligence, at the same time shouted loudly: „A native of Nye , Satsuma killed!” In order to inform various village people that pass through to evacuate, at the same time spins toward the city. 出城巡逻的阿斯库罗姆侦骑很快发现了敌情,一边高喊:“萨摩奈人杀来了！”以通知途经的各村庄民众撤离,一边往城内疾奔。 After Huger Tus obtains the news, not extremely startled, he ordered: The closure city gate, pulls up the hanging bridge, simultaneously gives the warning, making still the young and middle-aged citizens in city take up the shield lance, on the city defends. 赫格西图斯得到消息后,没有太过惊慌,他下令:关闭城门,拉起吊桥,同时敲响警钟,让还在城内的青壮年公民们拿起盾矛,上城防御。 Meanwhile, he also makes the soldiers in top shout loudly to the people that outside the city are fleeing from calamity, advising them to flee to the east Dorum, Ascoz Rome's city gate will not open in the situation that the enemy will attack! 同时,他还让城头的士兵们对着城外逃难的民众高喊,劝告他们逃往更东边的赫多鲁姆,阿斯库罗姆的城门是绝不会在敌人进攻的情况下打开的！ When because of implementations of these measures, focusing on Pentri soldier the Samnium army rushes to the city next, what seen was Ascoz Rome city has the protection. 正是因为这些措施的实行,以彭特尼战士为主的萨莫奈军队赶到城下时,看到的是阿斯库罗姆城已经有了防备。 The citizen who although as a result of the surprise attack of Samnites, causes at this time the city internal energy combat are not quite many, but Ascoz Rome is also the big city of Dauni area, has eight meters high city wall. 虽然由于萨莫奈人的突袭,导致此时城内能作战的公民并不太多,但阿斯库罗姆也是道尼地区的一座大城,有着八米高的城墙。 Native of Nye , Satsuma make a long-range raid to come, has not carried the attacking a city instrument, Badani can only make over ten thousand soldiers discharge the formation under the city, in unison angrily roars, wants to threaten Ascoz Romani people Kaesong surrender. 萨摩奈人奔袭而来,并未携带攻城器械,巴达尼只能让上万名战士在城下排出阵型,齐声怒吼,想要威吓阿斯库罗姆人开城投降。 How Huger Tus will be daunted by such weaponry. 赫格西图斯又怎会被这样的阵仗所吓住。 Badani has to pitch camp outside the city. 巴达尼只好在城外扎营。 In more than following one day, Badani orders the soldiers to fell the trees, manufactured large number of scaling ladders and wooden blocks or beams broughts down on besieging enemy below, launched the offensive to Ascoz Rome city, attempts advantage that depends to overwhelm with numerical strength, takes over Dauni area southwest important cities, revives the prestige of Pentri clan and tribe as well as his big leader. 在接下来的一天多时间里,巴达尼命令战士们砍伐树木,制作了大量云梯和檑木,对阿斯库罗姆城发起了攻势,企图仗着人多势众的优势,攻下道尼地区西南部这座重要的城镇,重振彭特尼部族以及他这个大首领的威望。 Therefore from the beginning, Badani starts on the order army fiercely attacks. 因此在一开始,巴达尼就命令部队发动猛攻。 The Samnium soldier carries the scaling ladder and wooden blocks or beams brought down on besieging enemy below, braves by the danger that the javelin and arrow arrow hits a target, from northern , under south three swift and violent overrunning to cities. 萨莫奈战士扛着云梯和檑木,冒着被标枪和箭矢射中的危险,从北、西、南三面迅猛的攻到城下。 Huger Tus as chief executive arrives at the top, leading the citizen soldier to resist courageously. 身为行政长官的赫格西图斯亲临城头,率领公民兵奋勇抵御。 A native of Nye , Satsuma offensive like the tide, a wave suffers setbacks, a wave attacks, the continuous attack made the understrength Ascoz Rome citizen soldier somewhat unable to resist gradually. 萨摩奈人攻势如潮,一波受挫,一波又攻上来,持续不断的进攻让兵力不足的阿斯库罗姆公民兵渐渐有些抵挡不住了。 By afternoon time, the western city wall made Samnites attack the top several times, Huger Tus hurried set surplus not many preparation soldiers, caught up with the city it with great difficulty, some soldiers hurriedly caught up from the south city wall: „Sir Huger Tus, the enemy attacked the top, Kase doing an inspection officer requested the rescue to you!” 到下午的时候,西城墙几次让萨莫奈人攻上了城头,赫格西图斯匆忙集合剩余不多的预备士兵,好不容易才将其又赶下城,又有士兵急匆匆的从南城墙赶来:“赫格西图斯大人,敌人攻上了城头,科柏卡斯巡查官向你请求救援！” „Which my also has what reinforcements?!” Huger Tus reveals the forced smile, puts out a hand to cancel splashes on the face, the blood of blocking line of sight, looks is more tired much the citizen soldier, under the city hears the Samnium soldier ear-spitting howling, in the heart timid flashes to pass, he turns round to say to the administrative adjutant resolutely: „You hurry to the city immediately, the old people will convene, hurries to reenforce south city! Insisting! Told Kase to insist! So long as we defend today! Tomorrow the reinforcements will rush!” “我这里哪还有什么援兵？！”赫格西图斯露出苦笑,伸手抹去溅在脸上、遮挡视线的鲜血,看着身边累得东倒西歪的公民兵,城下传来萨莫奈战士震耳的吼叫声,心中的胆怯一闪而逝,他毅然回身对行政副官说道:“你立刻赶去城内,将老人们召集起来,赶去增援南城！坚持！告诉科柏卡斯坚持住！只要今天我们守住了！明天援军就会赶到！”
