Ansitanos continues saying: „Moreover, Davos your majesty also makes me remind you, ‚Theonia and Samnium war is the contest between warriors, the casualty are many, Theonia will not go aggrieved, but if! If your Samnites dares to aim at the weaponless Theonia people the spear/gun lance again, slaughters them recklessly! Then, Theonia the anger of reckless letting revenge will fall in torrents the Samnium area, making the Samnium clan people undergo a more vicious retaliation!’ Please thinking well Sicily Syracuse overstep authority to advocate Dionysius in the past and he hires the miserable fate of cavalry hand/subordinate!” 安西塔诺斯继续说道:“另外,戴弗斯陛下还让我提醒你们,‘戴奥尼亚与萨莫奈的战争是勇士之间的较量,死伤再多,戴奥尼亚也不会去哀怨,但是如果！如果你们萨莫奈人再敢将枪矛对准手无寸铁的戴奥尼亚民众,肆意的杀戮他们！那么,戴奥尼亚将不顾一切的让复仇的怒火倾泻到萨莫奈地区,让萨莫奈族民尝受到更加残酷的报复！’请好好的想一想当年西西里的锡拉库扎僭主狄奥尼修斯和他手下雇佣骑兵的悲惨下场吧！” In the Samnium envoy surface to the warning and threat of Ansitanos thinks otherwise, the innermost feelings actually covered the shadow. 萨莫奈使者表面上对安西塔诺斯的警告和威胁不以为然,内心却笼罩上了阴影。 Meanwhile, Ansitanos also brought Davos to the Alexius apology, after all Davos this nod will make a native of Nye , Satsuma increase several thousand military, definitely will bring many troubles to Theonia army's combat in the Dauni area. 同时,安西塔诺斯也带来了戴弗斯对阿莱克西斯的歉意,毕竟戴弗斯这一个点头就会让萨摩奈人又增加几千兵力,必然会给戴奥尼亚军队在道尼地区的作战带来更多的麻烦。 But Alexius lets the Ansitanos belt/bring words, asking King Davos to feel relieved, and said: This action will not have any influence on the army, on the contrary he has the confidence to capture more Samnium captives in the future! 但阿莱克西斯却让安西塔诺斯带话,请戴弗斯国王放心,并说:这个举动并不会对军队造成任何影响,相反他有信心在将来抓获更多的萨莫奈俘虏！ But words that Davos spoke due to the promotion of Ansitanos, spread over the Dauni area quickly. In addition soon, captured Dauni people were returned, Daunians to King Davos is grateful inexplicable, had as the pride of Theonian, to Kingdom of Theonia thoughts of returning home, shared a common hatred to a native of Nye , Satsuma simultaneously. 而戴弗斯所说的话语在安西塔诺斯的推动下,很快传遍了道尼地区。再加上不久之后,被俘虏的道尼民众纷纷被放回,道尼人对戴弗斯国王更是感激莫名,也更有了身为戴奥尼亚人的自豪,对戴奥尼亚王国更加的归心,同时对萨摩奈人更加同仇敌忾。 Moreover this matter, not only to Daunians, to adjoining Peucetians and Messapians also had a big influence. 而且这件事不只是对道尼人,对毗邻的普切蒂人、梅萨皮人也造成了不小的影响。 .......................................... …………………………………… In Alexius army when Dauni converges, commands the army to arrive at the Heraclea Minoa area in Sicily Leotychides. 就在阿莱克西斯全军在道尼汇合之时,在西西里的列奥提齐德斯也率军到达米诺亚地区。 This all the way, the Theonia army obtained Camarina, Gela and Patsch Nuse, Agrigento...... and other warm welcome of Greek city-state, they change the beforehand combat plan, to come out to meet the approaching enemy for Theonia to compel the brave action of present Carthage army on own initiative to feel joyful, therefore not only provided massive grain supplies, sent out own citizen soldier in abundance, when causes this army arrived at Heraclea Minoa, from embarking 15000 people rapidly has inflated more than 32000 people. 这一路上,戴奥尼亚军队得到了卡曼利纳、杰拉、帕奇努斯、阿格里真托……等诸多希腊城邦的热烈欢迎,他们为戴奥尼亚改变了之前的作战计划、主动出来迎击已经逼到眼前的迦太基军队的勇敢举动感到欣喜,因此不但提供大量的粮食供给,同时也纷纷派出了自己的公民兵,使得这支军队到达米诺亚时,已经由出发时的15000人迅速膨胀到了32000多人。 As a result of Theonia army this along coastal advance on a grand scale, its trend was found out by secret inquiry by Carthaginians all the way early, therefore these days Carthage armies have not attacked a city full power, instead focuses on reinforcing the camp. 由于戴奥尼亚军队这一路上沿着海岸大张旗鼓的前进,其动向早被迦太基人探知,因此这几日迦太基军队并没有全力攻城,反而着力于加固营地。 Meanwhile, with approaching of Theonia army, Monta Desnot starts to be troubled, he sends the envoy to hurry back to several times, so that requests so that the city lord Sami Murai immediately city-state the young and middle-aged civic organization Sicily island the Carthage colonizing city as well as Phoenicia on, the population the more better, then immediately dispatches the Heraclea Minoa Carthage big camp them, simultaneously do not forget also one and sends the army of person. 同时,随着戴奥尼亚军队的逼近,蒙特阿德诺心里开始感到不安,他几次派遣使者赶回利利俾,要求利利俾城主瑟米姆雷立刻将西西里岛上的迦太基殖民城以及腓尼基城邦的青壮年公民组织起来,人数越多越好,然后立刻将他们派往米诺亚的迦太基大营,同时别忘了将西坎人的军队也一并派来。 When the Theonia army arrives at Heraclea Minoa, Monta Desnot has withdrawn west bank Puleta Lao River big battalion within/inner the Carthage army. 在戴奥尼亚军队到达米诺亚之时,蒙特阿德诺已经将迦太基大军撤回到普莱塔拉河西岸的大营内。 But Leotychides has not advanced on rashly, he rejected the Heraclea Minoa person's invitation, after inspecting the environment, starts to build the camp on the Heraclea Minoa city north surface not far several continuous hill. 而列奥提齐德斯也没有贸然进击,他拒绝了米诺亚人的邀请,考察完周围环境之后,在米诺亚城北面不远的几座连绵的山丘上开始修筑营地。 The both sides military compound gathers approximately four li (0.5 km), the middle is away from Puleta Lao River, confronted for several days, is maintaining tranquil. 双方军营相聚约四里,中间隔着普莱塔拉河,对峙了好几天,一直保持着平静。 Therefore, Leotychides subordinate and allied country general, because „he did not make the army attack” feels the doubts, for the unification knew, he also made especially explained: „Our soldiers are few, the Carthage soldier are many . Moreover the Carthage camp defends is strict, goes to attack rashly, the opportunity that the casualties will win greatly is too small. We should static and other Carthaginians attack, thus using the advantage of defense, the mass casualties enemies, and ultimately defeats them.” 为此,列奥提齐德斯的手下及盟邦将领因为“他一直不让军队进攻”感到疑惑,为了统一认识,他还特地做出了解释:“我们兵少,迦太基兵多,而且迦太基营地防御还算严密,贸然前去进攻,伤亡会大而获胜的机会太小。我们应该静等迦太基人来攻,从而利用防御的优势,大量杀伤敌人,并最终战胜他们。” „But, Carthaginians has not attacked us now.” Saying that Agrigentum series army general Miki Dahms has doubts. “可是,迦太基人现在也没有进攻我们啊。”阿格利真托的统军将领米奇达姆斯疑惑的说道。 Leotychides shows a faint smile, self-confident saying: „Our king Davos your majesty had said that ‚with Carthage the war is a long war, the time will more tow in the future, Theonia can break out of the influence of drought, resumes the domestic normal food supply, by that time is capable of sending out more armies to Sicily, conducts the decisive battle with Carthage......’, therefore we do not need to worry, making ignorant Carthaginians continue to consume to help their time.” 列奥提齐德斯微微一笑,自信的说道:“我们的国王戴弗斯陛下曾经说过,‘与迦太基的这一场战争将是一场漫长的战争,时间越往后拖,戴奥尼亚就能摆脱旱灾的影响,恢复国内正常的粮食供应,到那时就有能力派出更多的军队到西西里,与迦太基进行决战……’所以我们不用着急,让无知的迦太基人继续消耗掉本来有利于他们的时间吧。” Also a little, Leotychides has not said: The food supplies of his these tens of thousands soldiers are provided by these Greek city-state of south coast most probably, reduced greatly to Theonia the pressure of Sicily territory food supply, he naturally has the reason leisurely and carefree defends in Heraclea Minoa. 还有一点,列奥提齐德斯没有说出来:他这几万士兵的粮食供应大半都是由南海岸的这些希腊城邦所提供,大大减轻了对戴奥尼亚的西西里领地粮食供应的压力,他当然有理由悠闲的在米诺亚防御。 „But...... Carthaginians will also possibly increase their military unceasingly, in the end initiates to us again fiercely attacks!” Saying that Heraclea Minoa general Poly who attended the military conference still the intention worried about. “可是……迦太基人也可能会不断的增加他们的兵力,到最后再向我们发起猛攻！”来参加军事会议的米诺亚将领波利阿德仍然心怀担忧的说道。 „Therefore I will invite you, when builds the camp, according to the Theonia camp standard comes the rigorous earnest arrangement defense the facility, can thus resist the attack of Carthage army!” Leotychides serious saying: „Moreover Carthaginians army centralized to Heraclea Minoa, its rear defense is quite certainly void, helping the Theonia fleet make a harassing attack it. Moreover here enemy are more, their demand to the grain is bigger, the transportation of its grain will be very surely frequent, this will help Siculians attack their grain teams, shuts off their supply lines, once such huge army lacks the grain, does not need us to attack, they can the rout!” “所以我才会请你们在修筑自己营地的时候,按照戴奥尼亚的营地标准来严谨认真的布置防御的设施,从而能抵御住迦太基大军的进攻！”列奥提齐德斯神情严肃的说道:“而且迦太基人将军队都集中到了米诺亚,其后方的防御一定比较空虚,有利于戴奥尼亚舰队对其进行袭扰。而且这里的敌人越多,他们对粮食的需求就越大,其粮食的运输必定会很频繁,这将有利于西凯尔人去袭击他们的粮队,切断他们的粮道,这么庞大的军队一旦缺粮,不用我们进攻,他们就会溃败！” The explanation of Leotychides dispelled worry of allied country general temporarily. 列奥提齐德斯的解释暂时消解了盟邦将领的担忧。 ............................................. ……………………………………… In the Carthage military compound big tent/account, Monta Desnot who also did not meet is explains to Mill Fiault like this: The reason that „I do not go to battle with is the information that because...... the basis scouters, the Theonian army has more than 30,000 people fully, moreover majority is a heavy infantry, we are only more than 10,000 people them, moreover these also half is the humble Nummi Biya person, the performance that they attacked a city before you also saw, I do not think that they can resist the attack of Greek Hoplite, even their people are many! Therefore we need more soldiers, truly brave and noble Carthage soldiers or Phoenicia soldiers-” 在迦太基军营大帐内,同样一直不出战的蒙特阿德诺是这样对米勒菲奥解释的:“我不出战的原因是因为……根据侦察来的情报,戴奥尼亚人的军队足有3万多人,而且大部分是重步兵,我们只比他们多一万人,而且这其中还有一半是低贱的努米比亚人,他们之前攻城的表现你也看到了,我不认为他们能够抵挡住希腊重步兵的攻击,即使他们人多！所以我们需要更多的士兵,真正勇敢、高贵的迦太基士兵或者腓尼基士兵-” „But under you also has our 10,000 Saint group infantries, we repel population many Greek Hoplite sufficiently , there is nothing to fear!” Mill Fiault's saying proudly. “但是你麾下还有我们一万名圣团步兵,我们足以击退人数更多的希腊重步兵,没有什么可惧怕的！”米勒菲奥傲然的说道。 „You said is very right!” Monta Desnot said following the tone of opposite party: „The ability and courage of Saint group infantry are without a doubt, I entirely believe that you can repel Theonian, but presses the heavy responsibility of attack on your shoulders, will cause your casualties to increase! The Saint group infantries are the essence of our Carthage citizen, because we are not only staring at this fight, then must seize the Sicily islands, even expedites Magna Graecia, therefore I must protect your Carthage most outstanding armies, uses your outstanding armies! Therefore, I will urge Sami Murai, organizes many Carthage or the Phoenicia soldier, strengthens our strengths, so that smoother beats opposite Theonian!” “你说的很对！”蒙特阿德诺顺着对方的语气说道:“圣团步兵的能力和勇气毋庸置疑,我完全相信你们可以击退戴奥尼亚人,但是把进攻的重任都压在你们肩上,会导致你们的伤亡加大！圣团步兵都是我们迦太基公民的精华,因为我们不仅仅只盯着这一场战斗,接下来还要占领西西里群岛,甚至远征大希腊,所以我必须保护好你们这支迦太基最优秀的军队,使用好你们这支优秀的军队！因此,我才会催促瑟米姆雷,组织更多的迦太基或腓尼基士兵,壮大我们的实力,以便更顺利的击垮对面的戴奥尼亚人！” Mill Fiault is convinced immediately, he hesitant, said: „Perhaps...... we can adjust Hasdrubal the Fair's army.” 米勒菲奥立刻就被说服了,他犹豫了一下,说道:“……或许我们可以把哈斯德鲁巴的军队调回来。” As soon as Monta Desnot listens, immediately the head swings like the rattle-drum: „ No! No! No! Mill Fiault, you have not understood! Initially was Hasdrubal the Fair is not willing to obey the direction, must act independently, now we request him to come back again, this made him take for us to leave the Iberia army is not good, he arrogant, when the time comes was not we directs him, but was he directs us! 蒙特阿德诺一听,当即头摇得像拨浪鼓一样:“不！不！不！米勒菲奥,你还没明白吗！当初是哈斯德鲁巴不愿听从指挥,非要独立行动,如今我们再要求他回来,这岂不是让他误认为我们离开了伊比利亚的军队就不行,那他岂不是更加的傲慢,到时候就不是我们指挥他,而是他来指挥我们了！ Before I embark, Sir Hanno(Hannonian) had warned me over and over, the imperia of Carthage army can only belong to Hanno(Hannonian), cannot belong to the Magonid virtue, but obtains the glory of this victory also only to be able by us to share , there is nothing to do with Iberia! ” 在我出发之前,汉诺大人曾经再三告诫过我,迦太基大军的统帅权只能归属于汉诺,不能属于马戈尼德,而获得这场战争胜利的荣耀也只能由我们分享,与伊比利亚无关！” In fact, Mill Fiault words just exported regretted, said these that regarding Monta Desnot, how he can not know, at this moment has to be silent. 事实上,米勒菲奥话刚出口就后悔了,对于蒙特阿德诺所说的这些,他又岂会不知,此刻只好沉默不语。 Monta Desnot actually continues saying: „Now our urgently needed is not Hasdrubal the Fair's army, but is our Carthage navy! I do not know that our fleets have an accident, why in the sea level only saw that for serveral days the Theonia warship is bluffing and blustering, our navy where?! Mill Fiault, I suggested that you write a letter immediately, urge Sir Hanno(Hannonian), we need the powerful Carthage navy to come to guard our void rear areas, even defeats the fleet of enemy, makes a harassing attack their rear areas, lets Theonian both sides by the enemy!......” 蒙特阿德诺却又继续说道:“现在我们急需的不是哈斯德鲁巴的军队,而是我们迦太基的海军！我不知道我们的舰队出了什么事,为什么这些天在海面上只看到戴奥尼亚的战船在耀武扬威,我们的海军在哪里？！米勒菲奥,我建议你立刻写信,催促一下汉诺大人,我们需要强大的迦太基海军来护卫我们空虚的后方,甚至击败敌人的舰队,袭扰他们的后方,让戴奥尼亚人两面受敌！……” Mill Fiault also realized importance that obviously this issue, without hesitation complies. 米勒菲奥显然也意识到这个问题的重要性,毫不犹豫的答应下来。 ............................................. ……………………………………… Theonia and Carthage army the time that attempts to fight will be extending as far as possible in the future, with the aim of preparing. 戴奥尼亚与迦太基军队都在企图将战斗的时间尽量往后推延,以便做好更充分的准备。 However two huge military compound even north and south be continuous 78 li (0.5 km), thing, be only 34 li (0.5 km), stand on the Theonia military compound highest hill, toward gazing westwards, even can see the army big tent/account of Carthage big camp. In such near distance hedgehog collection so many soldiers, by the characteristics of city-state army, general cannot control these citizen soldiers completely, often a small conflict and friction will guide an unexpected direction the war. 但是两个庞大的军营均南北绵延七八里,东西相距只有三四里,站在戴奥尼亚军营所处的最高山丘上,往西望,甚至能看到迦太基大营的中军大帐。在这么近的距离猬集着如此多的士兵,以城邦军队的特性,将领们并不能完全管束住这些公民兵们,往往一个小的冲突和摩擦就会将战局导向一个意想不到的方向。 At this time is Kingdom of Theonia in February 14 ( 379 B. C. ), although spring, but Mediterranean the weather of some seashore cities have started to be hot, particularly on this day, the Heraclea Minoa temperature raised several degrees suddenly, by noon, the ground was exposed to the sun by Sun of burning hot feels hot, the soldiers in Theonia allied country, the Carthage soldier, is unable to endure because of the illness and thirstiness that the high temperature brought, but ran the big camp, to drew water and even takes a bath from camp not far Puleta Lao River. 这个时候已经是戴奥尼亚王国14年2月(公元前379年),虽然还是春季,但地中海的一些海边城镇的天气已经开始热起来,尤其是在这一天,米诺亚的气温骤然提升了好几度,到了中午,地面都被炙热的太阳晒得发烫,无论是戴奥尼亚盟邦的士兵、还是迦太基士兵,很多都无法忍受因高温带来的不适和口渴,而跑出了大营,到距离营地不远的普莱塔拉河汲水、甚至洗澡。 Puleta Lao River is not big rivers, besides close to one of the estuary, river width, the average river width is less than 20 meters, some sections even only have ten meters. Moreover its downstream flows on the smooth land, the water current is gentle, the water depth does not surpass the knee. 普莱塔拉河是一条不大的河流,除了接近出海口的一段,河宽超过30米之外,平均河宽不到20米,有些地段甚至只有十米。而且其下游流淌在平坦的土地上,水流平缓,水深不超过膝盖。 Therefore, both soldiers in rivers both banks, to more than ten meters, what even the opposite party are long, to speak the energy to hear clearly( naturally may not understand). 因此,双方士兵在河流两岸,相距不过十多米,连对方长什么样、说什么话都能听清(当然不一定能听懂)。
