Suddenly, observation blinks, the right hand right foot flutters the mast, the entire body finds out forward, the left hand builds under the volume, the pair of eyes circle stares: Under the distant place dim sky, in the sea level presented several sunspots...... only after a while, this sunspot doubled, after a while...... 突然,瞭望手眨了眨眼睛,右手右脚勾住桅杆,整个身体向前探出,左手搭在额下,双眼圆瞪:在远处昏暗的天空下,海面上出现了几个黑点……只过了一会儿,这个黑点增加了一倍,又过了一会儿…… Hiss looks at the hand whole body to quickly grasp the meaning of something, immediately shouted: „Discovery enemy ship! The Theonia fleet came!!......” 嘹望手浑身一激灵,立即大喊:“发现敌船！戴奥尼亚的舰队来了！！……” ............................................. ……………………………………… „The Theonia second fleet defeats the Iberia fleet in the North coast sea level” the news makes the Sekrian heart be hard to take itchy, although as the Sicily fleet commander, the victory of this naval battle also has his merit, he actually disdains in grabs Frat Rios's meritorious military service. But the Carthage fleet never appears in the south coast, keeping him from fighting a decisive battle with it. “戴奥尼亚第二舰队在北海岸海面击败伊比利亚舰队”的消息让塞克利安心痒难耐,虽然作为西西里舰队指挥官,这个海战的胜利也有他的一份功劳,他却不屑于去抢弗拉里奥斯的战功。可偏偏迦太基舰队始终不在南海岸出现,让他无法与之决战。 At this time, because the land army must attack Sellin Nuse, making him see the opportunity, therefore he discussed after Leotychides, made the plan: Through sieging Sellin Nuse, tempts the Carthage fleet from the marine rescue, thus achieves with the goal that it conducts the decisive battle. 这时,因为陆上部队要进攻塞林努斯,让他看到了机会,于是他同列奥提齐德斯商议之后,制定了计划:通过围困塞林努斯,引诱迦太基舰队从海上救援,从而达到与之进行决战的目的。 In order to guarantee victory of decisive battle, Secli secure will also guard to move in the Messina second fleet, making Theonia achieve 600 in the Sicily fleet warship, triremes 485, this is a huge number, Sekrian believes the Carthage navy unable with it being a worthy opponent. 为了保证决战的胜利,塞克里安还将驻守在墨西拿的第二舰队调了过来,使得戴奥尼亚在西西里的舰队战船达到600艘,三层桨战船485艘,这是一个庞大的数字,塞克利安坚信迦太基海军根本无法与之匹敌。 Sekrian sends out numerous express steamers to the Sicily south coast every day, even some risks the West coast investigation enemy intelligence. 塞克利安每天派出众多快船到西西里南海岸、甚至有的冒险到西海岸探察敌情。 However for several days, the Carthage fleet still had not seen the sound, Leotychides first could not sit still, although because the Theonia army is the deceptive attack Sellin Nuse city, will be every day will also cause some soldier casualties, let alone for a long time under stationing troops city, not far away also advantageous advantage, so that the army will be ready to make trouble, although its strength will not be quite strong, but will make him worry in Pale Moss's Iberia army, let alone its distance will not be quite also far, once several Carthage armies will attack simultaneously, the military will not occupy the Theonia army of too big advantage to have troublesome. Therefore, Leotychides thinks: Cannot wait for again, must capture Sellin Nuse immediately full power, is the Theonia army enters west Sicily that Carthage controls, obtains a standpoint. 但是一连几天,迦太基舰队仍然未见动静,列奥提齐德斯先坐不住了,因为虽然戴奥尼亚军队是佯攻塞林努斯城,也是每天也会造成一些士兵死伤,更何况长时间屯兵城池之下,不远处还有利利俾的军队蠢蠢欲动,虽然它的实力不太强,但在帕勒莫斯的伊比利亚军队却让他感到担心,何况其距离也并不太远,一旦几支迦太基军队同时攻过来,兵力并不占据太大优势的戴奥尼亚军队就会有麻烦了。因此,列奥提齐德斯认为:不能再等待了,必须立刻全力攻下塞林努斯,为戴奥尼亚军队进入迦太基所控制的西西里西部,获得一个立足点。 Sekrian opposes certainly, his reason is: So long as defeated the Carthage fleet, the Theonia navy can obtain the marine overwhelming superiority, the Sicily western coast during the control of Theonia Sicily fleet, will be bigger to the help of land army. 塞克利安当然表示反对,他的理由是:只要击败了迦太基舰队,戴奥尼亚海军就可以获得海上的绝对优势,西西里西部的海岸就在戴奥尼亚西西里舰队的掌控之中,对陆上部队的帮助就会更大。 He persuaded Leotychides to maintain the patience, again waiting some time. 他劝说列奥提齐德斯保持耐心,再多等待一段时间。 both sides were unyielding, but Davos and letter of military affairs section solved their dispute. 双方争执不下,但戴弗斯和军务部的来信解决了他俩的争执。 In the letter/believes, Davos requests Leotychides to strengthen the Sicily western attack. To Sekrian, the request of Davos is higher, hopes that he can beat the Carthage navy thoroughly, shuts off the marine relation of Carthage and Sicily, even threatens Carthage this city. 在信中,戴弗斯要求列奥提齐德斯加强对西西里西部的进攻。对塞克利安,戴弗斯的要求更高,希望他能彻底击败迦太基海军,切断迦太基和西西里的海上联系,甚至威胁迦太基本城。 Therefore, this letter/believes makes Leotychides have to agree, continues carries out „tempts the Carthage fleet” plan. 因此,这封信让列奥提齐德斯不得不同意,继续执行“引诱迦太基舰队”的计划。 This morning, Carthage warship in the sound that so that sea level large-scale building up creates is impossible to escape the eye of Theonia express steamer investigation. 今天一早,迦太基战船在利利俾海面大规模集结所造成的动静不可能逃过戴奥尼亚快船勘查的眼睛。 When this news fed in Agrigento fast, Sekrian is overjoyed, immediately orders: All warships assemble, prepare to go to battle! 当这一消息被快速传回阿格里真托时,塞克利安大喜过望,立刻命令:所有战船集结,准备出征！ Reminder that although Frat Rios somewhat worries about he: „Commander Sir, the marine weather conditions are not quite good today!” 尽管弗拉里奥斯有些担忧的提醒他:“指挥官大人,今天海上的天气状况不太好！” But Sekrian the combat is always well-known boldly courageously, even enters the middle age, his characteristics had not seen the subduction, moreover he waited till this opportunity with great difficulty, how also to allow it to miss, therefore he said resolutely: „Carthaginians dares to go to sea, why we cannot!” 但塞克利安一向以作战大胆果敢闻名,即使步入中年,他的这个特性仍未见消减,而且他好不容易等到了这个机会,又怎会容它错过,所以他毅然说道:“迦太基人都敢出海,我们为什么不能！” The Kingdom of Theonia 14 years in early March ( i.e. 379 B. C. ), leads the army, to leave Thurii, goes north to go to Latin noon of third day in Davos, the Theonia Sicily fleet with the Carthage navy in Sellin Nuse nearby sea level bitter experience. 戴奥尼亚王国14年3月初(即公元前379年),就在戴弗斯率领大军、离开图里伊、北上前往拉丁姆的第三天的中午时分,戴奥尼亚的西西里舰队同迦太基海军在塞林努斯附近的海面遭遇。 In being cloudy, weather gloomily and actually under the strange weather of calm no wave, these could be said as the Greek largest ever naval battle starting. 在乌云密布、天色晦暗、却无风无浪的奇怪天气下,这一场可说是希腊历史上最大规模的海战开始了。 ............................................. ……………………………………… After knowing the Theonia fleet appears, although Hanno Buss is a little surprised, but also feels relieved. He stares at out of the window, makes the thinking slightly, rapidly makes the decision: „ The front warship according to the old route line, the advance meets the enemy ; The center warship moves to east, in front right side expansion outward as far as possible ; The rear Iberia fleet follows close on the front fleet, after preventing the Theonia warship breaks through the interception, attacks the rear fleet. 在得知戴奥尼亚舰队出现之后,安诺巴斯虽然有点吃惊,但同时也如释重负。他凝视窗外,稍作思索,迅速作出决定:“前部战船按原路线,前进迎敌;中路战船向东移动,在前部的右侧尽量的往外展开;后方的伊比利亚舰队紧跟前部舰队,防止戴奥尼亚战船冲破拦截之后,攻击后方的船队。 Hanno Buss makes such deployment , because acts according to him regarding the understanding of this sea area, although is now uneventful, but perhaps also windy rain from weather . Moreover the possibility of southwest wind is big, therefore the Carthage warship must first be in the winning side favorable position, to favor late combat. 安诺巴斯之所以作这样的部署,是因为根据他对于这一片海域的了解,虽然现在风平浪静,但从天气来看恐怕还会刮风下雨,而且还是西南风的可能性大,因此迦太基战船必须先占据了上风的有利位置,以利于后期的作战。 Sekrian has not considered that long-term, he main force first fleet arrangement in close to coastal this one side, but meets head-on Carthage unceasingly outward delaying the third fleet that Frat Rios leads the flank. 塞克利安则没有考虑那么长远,他将主力第一舰队布置在靠近海岸这一侧,而将弗拉里奥斯率领的第三舰队去迎战迦太基不断向外延展的侧翼。 His idea is: Exhausts defeats the positive/direct enemy full power, exhibits one to attack rear rescues Sellin Nuse's the stance of fleet, forcing the formation that Carthage launches to the retraction rescue, consumed the physical strength of enemy, can make Carthage ship chaotic. 他的想法是:用尽全力击破正面的敌人,摆出一副要攻击后方救援塞林努斯的船队的架势,迫使迦太基展开的阵型不得不回缩救援,既消耗了敌人的体力,也可以让迦太基的船阵变得混乱。 ................................................ ………………………………………… „Flute! Flute! Flute!......” Sailors promote the speed of wooden oar the sea water that as the whistle sound of double barrel flute in unceasing speeding up, the crow warship of Theonia ship front row in the fast advance, the ship bow break out flies to fall on the hanging bridge that by the former mast stands erect time and time again, the water splash scatters, almost makes this 12 meters wooden bridge the keeping off wave board of warship. “笛！笛！笛！……”水手们推动木桨的速度随着双管长笛的笛声在不断的加快,戴奥尼亚船阵前列的乌鸦战船在快速的前进,舰艏劈开的海水一次又一次飞落在前桅杆旁竖立的吊桥上,水花四溅,几乎让这块12米长的木桥成为战船的挡浪板。 When Stee Farkas, South-Italian War he is the sailor of Theonia navy, what he is proud was he experiences this newly-built fleet to defeat all fights of powerful Syracuse navy, now he is commanding of Theonia first fleet's second point fleet, is directing the place ship charge in a ship front row, soon in the west Mediterranean most powerful Maritime hegemony Carthage engagement. 斯特法卡斯,南意战争时他还是戴奥尼亚海军的一名水手,他引以为傲的是他经历了这支新建舰队击败强大的锡拉库扎海军的所有战斗,如今他已经是戴奥尼亚第一舰队第二分舰队的统领,正指挥着座舰冲锋在船阵的前列,即将于西地中海最强大的海上霸权-迦太基接战。 But he is far from the sailors being so excited, instead pays attention to the Carthage warship that the front surface is flushing calmly, he felt that the speed of opposite party is not fast, is experienced he to realize immediately: The opposite party likely do not prepare to conduct with his warship clashes directly, but is the inertia that controls the warship, so that the flexible unwinding upfront, avoids being fluttered by the crow hanging bridge. After all the unique tactic of Theonia navy is not the secret, before let alone, Carthaginians is also in unfavorable situation in the naval battle, perhaps has guarded. 但他远没有水手们那么兴奋,反而冷静的关注着迎面冲来的迦太基战船,他感觉到对方的速度并不是非常快,经验丰富的他立刻意识到:对方很可能并不准备与他的战船进行迎头对撞,而是控制住战船的惯性,以便灵活的绕开正面,避免被乌鸦吊桥勾住。毕竟戴奥尼亚海军的独特战术已经不是什么秘密,更何况之前迦太基人还在海战中失利,恐怕已有所防备。 „Interception preparation!” The Stee Farkas's decisive loudness issues the order. “截击准备！”斯特法卡斯果断的大声下达命令。 Hanging bridge control and cabin boatswain and stern the helmsman of bow repeated this order immediately, crew maintain are being highly tense and dedicated. 船头的吊桥操控员、船舱的水手长、船尾的舵手立即重复了这条命令,全体船员们保持着高度的紧张和专注。 Two warships in speedy approach. 两艘战船在迅速接近。 The Stee Farkas visual front, was judging the time of best action, he shouts one suddenly: „Toward left interception!” 斯特法卡斯目视前方,判断着最佳行动的时机,突然他大喊一声:“向左截击！” The helmsmen suspend the rudder, the oar of left side sailor reduces the strength, the right side sailor oar thrust augmentation, the warship diagonal rules out to the left front rapidly. 舵手摆舵,左侧水手的船桨减力,右侧水手船桨加力,战船迅速向左前方斜向划去。 This is a very dangerous tactical maneuvering, exposes the waist of warship in the enemy ship on own initiative hits the corner/horn the front, to the current naval battle without doubt is a big taboo, even if to having the Theonia warship of crow hanging bridge is still quite dangerous, because the distance is too near, enemy ship in high-speed advance, if the crew is not very dedicated, coordinates not well, likely the hanging bridge also puts down without enough time, the warship had run upon by the opposite party. 这是一个很危险的战术机动,主动将战船的腰部暴露在敌船撞角的面前,对当今的海战而言无疑是一大禁忌,即使是对拥有乌鸦吊桥的戴奥尼亚战船而言也相当危险,因为距离太近,敌船又在高速的前进中,如果船员不够专注,配合不好,很可能吊桥还来不及放下,战船已被对方撞上。 But the technology and tacit coordination of Stee Farkas's to oneself crew is self-confident, this type came from self-confidently day after day and year after year, result of strict training. 但斯特法卡斯对自己船员的技术和默契配合充满自信,这种自信来自于日复一日、年复一年,严格训练的结果。 Even so, the hanging bridge controllers were still the highly intense operations: Some according to the direction that the enemy ship raids, is rotating the hanging bridge rapidly ; The rope of some hurrying loose open system on mast, is entraining it tightly, while stares at the enemy ship that is flushing, in the mouth yells...... on each face the beads of sweat to be densely covered, the muscle on arm breaks out because of tight. 即使如此,吊桥操纵员们仍然是高度紧张的操作:有的根据敌船袭来的方向,迅速转动着吊桥;有的则赶紧松开系在桅杆上的绳索,一边紧拽着它,一边紧盯着冲过来的敌船,口中叫喊着……每个人脸上汗珠密布,手臂上的肌肉因紧张而突起。 Captain Carthage had prepared to make the warship deflect, avoids the attack of opposite party crow hanging bridge, but the front crow warship sudden sitat side, came as a surprise to Captain Carthage, he gawked. 原本迦太基船长已经准备让战船偏转,避开对方乌鸦吊桥的袭击,可前方乌鸦战船突然的打横,出乎了迦太基船长的意料,他愣了一下。 This stares, the warship has flushed several meters. 这一愣,战船就已经冲出去几米。 He understands at once, quickly issues the order: Let the warship rotate toward right. 他旋即明白过来,急忙下达命令:让战船向右回转。 The Carthage sailors rapidly react, warship fast turning the head that toward right sharply to/clashes. 迦太基水手们迅速作出反应,急冲的战船迅捷的向右转头。 The direction that but some, the Theonia warship had gone forward late is happen to consistent with their warships, the speed does not reduce instead increases pasted. 但已经有些晚了,戴奥尼亚战船前进的方向正好与他们的战船一致,速度不减反增的贴了过来。 The crow hanging bridge falls immediately, the 40 fleet infantries on ship run out of the cabin immediately, through the hanging bridge, enters the enemy ship. 乌鸦吊桥立刻落下,船上的40名舰队步兵立刻冲出船舱,通过吊桥,杀入敌船。 After Hanno Buss knows the combat characteristics of Theonia fleet, is not without the preparation, these days he let Carthage and allied country hits to make large number of daggers to provide to the sailors, because only then this type of facile exquisite weapon will not affect their rowing, meanwhile made them have an ability of self-defense counter-attack. 安诺巴斯知道戴奥尼亚舰队的作战特点之后,也并非没有准备,这一段时间他让迦太基和盟邦打制了大量的匕首配备给水手们,因为只有这种轻便小巧的武器才不会影响他们的划桨,同时还让他们拥有一点防身反击的能力。 However, is unable to display person many advantages on the long and narrow warship, the Carthage civilians who these hold the post of the sailor mostly have not undergone the regular infantry training, definitely is unable to be a worthy opponent with the Theonia fleet infantry who threatening to kill. 但是,在狭长的战船上是无法发挥人多的优势,这些担任水手的迦太基平民大多也没有经过正规的步兵训练,完全无法与气势汹汹杀来的戴奥尼亚舰队步兵相匹敌。 Except that has not dressed the Theonia regiment heavy infantry standard equipment, these Theonia fleet infantry usual intensities of training are not weak in the army, not only needs proficiently to grasp the short-sword thorn to strike the technique and shield sword to jointly attack the technique, to check formation, javelin and charge and division group fights the coordination...... in addition, they still concentrate on more energy in two trainings: Fast landing operations and long-distance swimming. 除了没有穿戴戴奥尼亚军团重步兵制式装备,这些戴奥尼亚舰队步兵平时的训练强度一点也不弱于陆军,不但需要熟练掌握短剑刺击术、盾剑合击术、棋盘格列阵、标枪与冲锋、分队群战配合……此外,他们还在两项训练中投注更多精力:快速登陆作战和长途游泳。 Therefore, the fleet infantry of Theonia fleet is well-trained, the Carthage sailor assembles the dagger, although created to them troubled, but quick disintegrated under their swift and violent attacks. 因此,戴奥尼亚舰队的舰队步兵可谓是训练有素,迦太基水手装配匕首,虽然给他们造成了一点麻烦,但很快就在他们的迅猛攻击下瓦解。
