At this time, the sentries in Ardea city heard that similarly „crash-bang and crash-bang” sound of footsteps, but they have not aroused vigilance, after all Ardea far away from the Latin city-state center, far away from eastern Hernicans, Aequians and Marsch person, besides has had conflicts on some territories in the past with Volsci, it has the oversized war rarely. But now has to be Rome Antium and Turney Coombe to keep off in its south, these days the south war has subsided, the Ardea person thinks oneself are very safe, from the start without thinking to be the enemy, but also thinks that is the Rome army is transferring, therefore from the start would have no to send out the mounted scout to investigate. 此时,阿迪城内的哨兵同样听到了那“哗啦、哗啦”的脚步声,但他们都没有引起警惕,毕竟阿迪远离拉丁城邦的中心,也远离东部的赫尔尼基人、埃奎人、马西人,在以往除了跟沃尔西有过一些领土上的冲突外,它很少发生过大的战争。而如今更有属于罗马的安提乌姆、萨特尼库姆挡在它的南面,这段时间南面的战事已经平息,阿迪人认为自己很安全,压根儿就没有想会是敌人,还以为是罗马军队在进行调动,所以压根儿就没有派出侦骑探查。 Theonia first and third regiments after the Ardea city, start to turn toward the coast to approach, this black army the merchant ship and caravan of passed through Latin person discovered, they are startled, the hurrying whereabouts neighboring cities warning, has the vigilant merchant ship to turn around to go south directly, the preparation informs guarding with large army Antium. 戴奥尼亚第一、三军团在经过阿迪城之后,开始向着海岸靠近,这支黑色的大军才被途经的拉丁人的商船和商队发现,他们大吃一惊,慌忙去向邻近的城镇报警,更有机警的商船直接掉头南下,准备去通知有重兵驻守的安提乌姆。 In fact, absolutely does not have this necessity restlessly, Antium garrison commander Paulus after the top two hours, finally the decision sends out few mounted scouts again, takes risk to go out of town investigates the trend of Theonia army again. 实际上,已经完全没有这个必要,安提乌姆守将保卢斯在城头坐立不安了两个多小时之后,终于决定再一次派出为数不多的侦骑,冒险出城再探查戴奥尼亚军队的动向。 At this moment, shouted hand/subordinate suddenly: „General, in the harbor lighthouse ignited the smoke and fire!” 就在这时,手下突然大喊:“将军,港口灯塔上燃起了烟火！” Paulus one startled, then looks busily, sees only the harbor direction to raise wisp of straight black smoke. 保卢斯一惊,忙回头望去,只见港口方向升起一缕直直的黑烟。 Some enemies from marine attack?! In Paulus heart is one tight, then he noticed that in the city has the cavalry to spin, but, shouted loudly under the city wall: „General Paulus, the sea level outside harbor presented the innumerable warship and troop carrier!!” 有敌人从海上来袭？！保卢斯心中又是一紧,然后他又看到城内有骑兵疾奔而至,在城墙下高喊:“保卢斯将军,港口外的海面出现了数不清的战船和运兵船！！” Paulus in great surprise: Theonian wants to repeat previous time combat example that attacks and occupies Antium?! 保卢斯大惊:难道戴奥尼亚人想重演上一次攻占安提乌姆的战例？！ „Immediately reassigns 500 light infantries and 2000 heavy infantries rushes to the harbor to deploy troops for defense!” His without hesitation issues the order to the adjutant. “立刻抽调500名轻步兵和两千名重步兵赶往港口布防！”他不假思索的对副官下达命令。 „Yes, General!” “是,将军！” Paulus said, went to the city rapidly, rides to start, rushes to the harbor with the convoy guard together. 保卢斯说完,迅速下了城,骑上马,与护卫队一起赶往港口。 In the city had appeared scared, particularly to lead to harbor said present serious crowd in the city gate of inner city, the people of innumerable harbor wanted to flood into the city competitively, some even startled yelling: „The army of enemy kills! Run!......” 城内已经出现了恐慌,尤其是在内城通向港口的城门口出现了严重的拥堵,无数港口的民众争先恐后的想要涌入城内,有的甚至惊慌的叫喊:“敌人的大军杀来啦！快跑啊！……” Paulus and convoy guard spent the tremendous strength, pushed, they rushed to under the lighthouse that in the breakwater stood tall and erect nonstop. 保卢斯和护卫队费了九牛二虎之力,才挤了出去,他们马不停蹄的赶到了防波堤上高耸的灯塔下。 When he went to the lighthouse, the scene that in the field of vision sees made him impressively: At this time has passed noon, the sea level wave light outside harbor is clear, appears the limitless sail shadow in the sea of distant place, surpasses beyond his line of sight, the sea day interlocking...... these sailing ships with distant place has characteristics extremely, its broad side is exuding the golden light, is very dazzling. 等他上了灯塔,视野中看到的景象令他赫然:此时已经过了中午,港口外的海面波光粼粼,在远处的海上现出无边无际的帆影,超出他的视线之外,与极远处的海天相接……这些帆船都有一个特点,它的船舷泛着金光,十分刺眼。 Although the Rome person the navy is not strong, has almost not hit naval battle that has the scale, but holds the post of the Paulus combat experiences of several military administration officers to be rich, moreover frequently modest consults to Camillus, therefore he can judge that is in this quantity fearful fleet many are a troop carrier, because the troop carrier has characteristics, after the soldiers embark, must hang the shield by the hull, this made the space in ship, takes the convenience, meanwhile can defend the enemy ship long-distance attack, it may be said that kills two birds with one stone, therefore it almost became the general tradition of Mediterranean various countries troop carrier. 罗马人虽然海军不强,几乎没有打过有规模的海战,但担任过几次军政官的保卢斯战争经验还算丰富,而且经常虚心的向卡米卢斯请教,所以他能判断出是这次数量可怕的船队中多数为运兵船,因为运兵船有一个特点,士兵们上船后,要把盾牌挂在船身两侧,这样既腾出了船内的空间,拿取方便,同时还可以防御敌船远程的攻击,可谓一举两得,所以它几乎成了地中海各国运兵船的一个通用传统。 How many reinforcements Theonian this sent out?!! When Paulus is shocked, asking that the sound slightly shivers obviously: „Harbor...... did the iron chain put down?” 戴奥尼亚人这是派出了多少援军啊？！！保卢斯震惊之余,声音略显颤抖的问道:“港口……的铁链放下了吗？” „Has drawn.” “已经拉起来了。” Sentry post tower that „against wave puts on? Whether the soldiers have taken place?” “防波提上的哨塔呢？士兵们是否已经就位？” „General you could rest assured that the archers have mounted the sentry post tower, the pitch, the arrow arrow and cleaning rag have prepared sufficiently.” “将军你放心,弓箭手们都已经登上了哨塔,柏油、箭矢、抹布都准备充足。” „That is good!” Paulus has been comforted slightly, he also said: „The army in city will rush over, you do not use flustered.” “那就好！”保卢斯心里稍稍得到安慰,他又说道:“城内的军队马上就会赶到,你们不用慌张。” „General.” The harbor head said: „According to the lighthouse sentry has observed, perhaps this huge fleet does not come to Antium, it should to north!” “将军。”港口负责人却说道:“根据灯塔哨兵一直的观察,这一支庞大的船队恐怕不是冲着安提乌姆来的,它应该是向北去的！” Paulus stares, looks into the sea level of distant place again carefully: Although the fleet is too far, looked that is not quite clear, compared with some ships that but with are running away to the Antium port, piece by piece that white sail demonstrates is actually only side, the distance of these days its fleet and coast that in addition the flash of broad side place, as well as they spoke as if had little change...... obviously, the Theonian fleet is continue north navigates! 保卢斯一愣,再次仔细眺望远处的海面:虽然船队太远,看不太清晰,但是和正在向安提乌姆港逃来的一些船只相比较,那一片片白帆展示的却只是侧面,加上船舷处的闪光,以及他们说话的这段时间里其船队与海岸的距离似乎并没有太大改变……显然,戴奥尼亚人的船队是在继续向北航行！ „Is Theonian the preparation in Antium north coast landing?” Paulus indefinite said in a low voice. “难道戴奥尼亚人是准备在安提乌姆北面的海岸登陆？”保卢斯不确定的低声说道。 The harbor head reminded him saying: „General, Theonian lands in north, might as well lands in the south, previous they land in the south coast time, Antium that finally seizes.” 港口负责人提醒他说:“将军,戴奥尼亚人在北面登陆,还不如在南面登陆,上一次他们就是在南面海岸登陆,最后占领的安提乌姆。” Paulus then remembers: Between Antium and Ardea is a stretch of low rough terrain, although is smooth, but compares with south, obviously insufficient convenience, therefore...... 保卢斯这才想起:安提乌姆与阿迪之间是一片低矮的丘陵地带,虽然还算平坦,但和南面相比,明显不够便利,所以…… Paulus thinks of here, suddenly complexion big change: Theonian is the preparation in north coastal landing, attacks the Latin allied country, even possibly attacks the defense weak center, finally presses up to Rome...... 保卢斯想到这里,突然脸色大变:戴奥尼亚人是准备在更北面的海岸登陆,攻击拉丁盟邦,甚至又可能进攻防御薄弱的腹地,最后直逼罗马…… Thinks of here, Paulus cold sweat braves, because he associates immediately: That that before dawn presents perhaps Theonia army that came from the south is aids this countless fleet, they have passed through Rome in the blockade line that in the Volsci border sets, entered the center of Latin city-state area!! 想到这里,保卢斯冷汗直冒,因为他随即联想到:凌晨出现的那支从南面来的戴奥尼亚军队恐怕就是去接应这只庞大数目的船队的,他们已经穿过了罗马在沃尔西边境上设置的这条封锁线,进入了拉丁城邦地区的腹地！！ Also Paulus has not thought toward this aspect no wonder beforehand, in his mind original information „Theonia in the army of Volsci, only then about ten thousand people”, he has not obtained Theonia toward the news that Volsci increases troops( because the third fleet had totally closed off south Latin area navigation route these days), therefore in considering of his subconsciousness: Army that a quantity does not get the advantage across blockade, after thorough enemy, even if can take the temporary advantage, is still hard to escape is encircled the destiny of elimination, such attack tactic for the action fast and facile mountainous area race, is actually not applicable to the Theonia regular forces focusing on heavy infantry. 也难怪保卢斯事先没有往这方面想,他脑海中还是原来的信息“戴奥尼亚在沃尔西的军队只有近万人”,他并没有得到戴奥尼亚往沃尔西增兵的消息(因为第三舰队这段时间已经彻底封锁了拉丁姆地区南面的海上航线),所以在他的下意识的认为:一支数量不占优势的军队穿过封锁,深入敌后,就算能够占得一时的便宜,也难以逃脱被围剿消灭的命运,这样的侵袭战术适用于行动迅捷、轻便的山区种族,却不适用于以重步兵为主的戴奥尼亚正规部队。 Although had been taught one time by the Theonia navy before, but was impossible to let be used to Rome former military administration officer Paulus of traditional land fight to liberate his imprisoned brain quickly. 尽管之前已经被戴奥尼亚海军教训过一次,但不可能这么快就让已经习惯了传统陆上战斗的罗马前军政官保卢斯解放他被禁锢的大脑。 „Immediately sends out the mounted scout, along coastline tracing, where verifies this fleet to land, then immediately reports!” Paulus's anxious issuing order: „Sends out the messenger again, informs Turney Coombe and Willie Therre's garrison troops, told them the Theonia army to enter the center of Latin area, and their navy must land in the coast, lets that they were ready to attack!...... Sends out the messenger again, rushes to Rome rapidly, informs council, making them prepare!” “立刻派出侦骑,沿海岸线追踪,探明这支船队在哪里登陆,然后立即汇报！”保卢斯急切的下达命令:“再派出信使,去通知萨特尼库姆和维利特雷的守军,告诉他们戴奥尼亚的军队已经进入了拉丁姆地区的腹地,并且他们的海军要在沿岸登陆,让他们做好出击的准备！还有……再派出信使,迅速赶往罗马,通知元老院,让他们有所准备！” ............................................. ……………………………………… The joint forces of Theonia first regiment and third regiment way Latin small town Ravi Neame ( lavinium ) of seashore. 戴奥尼亚第一军团和第三军团的联合部队又途径了海边的拉丁小城拉维尼姆(lavinium)。 Although this city is small, but it has the considerable important position in the mind of Latin person, because in the legend of Latin person, they are next to Hector the descendant in heroic Aeneas's in the Mediterranean ancient customs time Asia Minor powerful city-state Troy( it is said that he is the Troy royal families). 这座城市虽小,但它在拉丁人的心目中却有着相当重要的位置,因为在拉丁人的传说之中,他们是远在地中海古风时代小亚细亚的强大城邦特洛伊城中仅次于赫克托耳的英雄埃涅阿斯的后代(据说他是特洛伊王族)。 After Troy Greeks seizes, Aeneas leads some natives of Troy, went by boat to escape Italy, landed in the Latin area, was welcomed by King Latin, and married him own daughter Lavignie, therefore Aeneas constructed a new town in the Latin coast, on the by wife name name, this was the origin of Ravi Neame. Afterward son who two people had in the volcanic lake of Ravi northern Neame- nearby the Arbas lake established a new town, named Albaron, later this city became the center of Latin person, the twin wandering about destitute open country that princess Sylvia until this/should royal family lived, was supported by the female wolf, established Rome, and destroyed Albaron finally. 特洛伊被希腊人占领之后,埃涅阿斯带着部分特洛伊人,乘船逃到了意大利,在拉丁姆地区登陆,受到了拉丁国王的欢迎,并且将自己的女儿拉维尼嫁给了他,于是埃涅阿斯在拉丁海岸上建了一座新城,就以妻子名字命名,这就是拉维尼姆的由来。后来两人所生的儿子又在拉维尼姆北面的火山湖-阿尔巴湖附近建立了一座新城,名叫阿尔巴隆加,以后这座城就成了拉丁人的中心,直到该王室的公主西尔维亚所生的双胞胎流落野外,被母狼养活,建立了罗马,并最终毁灭了阿尔巴隆加。 Although Ravi Neame is the source area of Rome person, but it is really small city-state, the low city wall, not many residents, saw Theonia army swaggering foreign economics and trade from the city, the sentries in top frighten rustle tremble, the people in city are terrified. 虽然拉维尼姆是罗马人的起源地,但它实实在在是座小城邦,低矮的城墙、不多的居民,看到戴奥尼亚的军队大摇大摆的从城外经过时,城头的哨兵们都吓得簌簌发抖,城内的民众更是惊恐不安。 However, the Theonia army has not stopped the footsteps that marches, they continue along the coast to north. 但是,戴奥尼亚军队并没有停下行军的脚步,他们沿着海岸继续向北。 „Two Sir legatus, the first cavalry corps and second cavalry corps has hurried back-” the words of mounted scout have not said, he resounded rumble the hoofbeat behind. “两位军团长大人,第一骑兵军团和第二骑兵军团已经赶回-”侦骑的话还未说完,他身后就响起了隆隆的马蹄声。 „Amintas, Litom, our cavalry corps came back on time!” Ledes was shouting immediately. “阿明塔斯,利扎鲁,我们骑兵军团按时的回来了！”莱德斯在马上大喊。 „Situation how?” Amintas asked. “情况怎么样？”阿明塔斯问道。 „At least before we leave, had not seen that Antium and Turney Coombe has the army to go out of town.” Ledes is patting horse Bo, slightly contented saying: „During this period, they sent out many mounted scouts actually, but has not escaped our interception. You? Reached the destination?” “至少在我们离开之前,没有看到安提乌姆和萨特尼库姆有军队出城。”莱德斯轻拍着马脖,略显自得的说道:“在这期间,他们倒是派出了不少的侦骑,但都没有逃过我们的拦截。你这边呢？到达目的地了吗？” „Has crossed Ravi Neame, should draw near.” Amintas wiped sweat on face, then flings the hand, saying that complained: „Day did not have to start the set brightly, arriving now, has perhaps walked 70-80 li (0.5 km), the brothers are exhausted, if not because walks is a level road, the duty that your majesty issues, we are perhaps impossible to complete.” “已经过了拉维尼姆,应该快到了。”阿明塔斯抹了一把脸上的汗水,然后将手一甩,略带抱怨的说道:“天还没亮就开始集合出发,一直不停的走到现在,恐怕都走了70-80里了吧,兄弟们已经非常疲惫了,如果不是因为走的一直是平路,陛下所下达的这个任务,我们恐怕根本不可能完成。” „I think that the brothers will not complain.” Ledes looks from side process regiment soldier who looks the tired look, comfortable saying: „Can attend the war that this will start, they should very be excited.” “我想兄弟们是不会抱怨的。”莱德斯看着从身旁经过的一个个面露倦色的军团士兵,宽慰的说道:“能够参加这既将开始的大战,他们应该都很兴奋。” „Not is only the soldiers is excited, we are also very excited!” The Litom digression said. “不光是士兵们兴奋,我们也很兴奋啊！”利扎鲁插话道。 Several legatus look at each other to laugh. 几位军团长相视哈哈大笑。 The Theonia army stopped the advance finally. Under the directions and arrangement of several legatus, 20,000 regiment soldiers are backing on the silver-white smooth sand beach, at a moderate pace arrangement is four miles, thickness eight rows of army. 戴奥尼亚军队终于停止了前进。在几位军团长的指挥和布置之下,两万名军团士兵背靠着银白色的平坦沙滩,不紧不慢的排列出了长达四里、厚度八列的军阵。
