When the siege warfareis heldintensely, the thirdfleet that meter/riceDorotheusleadsnavigated the Tiberriver mouth, approached the Ostiadalharbor.
在攻城战激烈进行的时候,米多拉德斯率领的第三舰队航行到了台伯河河口,逼近了奥斯提亚港口。Romepersonalreadywithiron chainOstiadalharborblockade, and againstwaveputs on the archers in turret to approach the harborwarshiptest firerocket, todoto deter.罗马人早已用铁链将奥斯提亚港口封锁,并且防波提上塔楼里的弓箭手们向正在逼近港口的战船试射火箭,以作威慑。
The thirdfleetbypasses the harbor, then the warshipanchoredinsouth bank of Tiber.
第三舰队绕过港口,然后战船就纷纷停靠在了台伯河的南岸。Ostiadalcitysimilarrectangle, itswestbroadsideis depending on the coast, andconstructs the city wall, Theonia , to attackfromthisdirection, can only throughmarine, is too difficultly big, therefore the Theoniaarmystronglyattackseastern and southernboth sides, but the leg of right triangle of northern Ostiadalis the harbor.
奥斯提亚城区类似一个长方形,其西面的长边依着海岸,并建有城墙,戴奥尼亚要想从这个方向进攻,只能通过海上,困难太大,所以戴奥尼亚军队集中进攻东、南两面,而奥斯提亚北面的短边则是港口。Why hasn't the Ostiadalcityconstructed the cityalong the Taipeiriver bank? According to the truth, thishelpsin the city the life of people, goes to the paddiespractical training, to fetch water is very convenient, thatisbecausehas a biglagoonnext to the harboreast side, itrises suddenly, the overflowriver bankto formbyyear after yearTiberwater, thisabout 300 meters from north to southandmore than 200 meters from east to westoval-shapelakehave becomepart of Ostiadalcity, even a native of Ostiadal the lakesideincityleaves leewayenoughmuchshallow seas and tidelandsplacesspecially, so that the Taipeiriver watercan rise suddenlygreatly, the connectionlagoontime, is insufficientto flood the house.
为什么奥斯提亚城没有沿着台北河岸建城?按道理,这样更有利于城内民众的生活,无论是去田地劳作、还是取水都很方便,那是因为紧挨着港口的东面有一个较大的泻湖,它是由年复一年的台伯河水暴涨、溢出河岸而形成的,这个南北长约300米、东西长约200多米的椭圆形湖泊早已经成为奥斯提亚城的一部分,甚至奥斯提亚人专门在城区的湖畔留有足够多的滩涂地,以便台北河水大暴涨、连通泻湖的时候,不至于淹到房屋。SincebattlesafterTheonia, although the security of counciltoOstiadaltoohad not in a big way been worried, butobeyed the advice of Carthaginians, mostapproaches the Tibershore the placeto construct a nottoolongbreakwaterin the lagoon, is mainly preventsTheonianto pushonlymore than tenmetersriver banks the warship, through the lagoon, invadesin the city, thisis onlyproviding for a rainy day of Carthaginians.
自从和戴奥尼亚交战之后,虽然元老院对奥斯提亚的安全并没有太大担心,但还是听从了迦太基人的建议,在泻湖最靠近台伯河岸的地方修建起来一道不太长的防波堤,主要是防止戴奥尼亚人将战船推过仅有十几米的河岸,通过泻湖,侵入到城区内,这只是迦太基人的未雨绸缪。Butthistime, the Theoniafleetreallycame, andtheirwarshipsnavigatetoeastalong the river bank, after bypassingthisnewly-builtbreakwater, the warshipanchorsinsouth bank of Po , Taiwan, the fleetinfantriesdisembark, everyone carries a bigplank, under the command of teamofficers, 2800fleetinfantrysetsfinished( the thirdfleetaltogether has70crowwarships).
但这一次,戴奥尼亚舰队真的来了,并且他们的战船沿着河岸向东航行,绕过这条新建的防波堤之后,战船就纷纷在台波河南岸停靠,舰队步兵们下了船,每一个人扛着一块大木板,在队官们的号令下,2800名舰队步兵集合完毕(第三舰队共有70艘乌鸦战船)。
After theirrapid advanceseveral hundredmeters, arrived at the lakeside, placesin the plank the water, aboveputs the helmet, the woodenshieldandskinJingjia and short-sword, the bodyonlywearsskinarmor and skinsandals, thenholds on to the two sides of plankwithboth hands, the entirebodyfloatsinaquatic, makes the oarby the both legs, non-stopfetching water the advance. Swimming in battle gearless thanoneli (0.5 km)lake surfaceregarding the fleetinfantry who being skilled in the river character, andhavingthisaspecttrainsstrictly, is a veryeasyduty.
他们迅速前进了几百米之后,来到了湖边,纷纷将木板放在水中,上面放上头盔、木盾、皮径甲和短剑,身上只穿着皮甲和皮凉鞋,然后用双手把住木板的两边,整个身子漂浮在水上,靠双腿作桨,不停打水前进。武装泅渡不到一里的湖面对于精通水性、并有这方面严格训练的舰队步兵而言,是一个很轻松的任务。WhensomeOstiadalcitypeoplediscoveredimpressively when theyusuallyin the lagoon that is used for the potable water and swimmingplaysfullarrange/clothDiren, andrapidcomestoward the cityroaming, theypanic-strickenyell, hopes that the garrison troopssoldierscanpreventthemto come ashore.
当有的奥斯提亚城区民众赫然发现他们平时用来饮水和游泳嬉戏的泻湖上满布敌人、并迅速向着城区游来时,他们惊恐的叫喊起来,希望守军士兵能够阻止他们上岸。However the leading troops of fleetinfantryhave come ashore, theirrapidputting onhard helmets, take up the woodenshield and short-sword. The shallow seas and tidelands of slipperymudis quite difficult to walk, butmostlyis the fishermanfamily background, playstothesesince childhood the fleetinfantry of seashoreriver bankis not the difficultmatter, theynot onlymarch forwardfreely, but also is marching forwardgraduallyformed the formation.
但是舰队步兵的先头部队已经上了岸,他们迅速的戴上头盔,拿起木盾和短剑。湿滑泥泞的滩涂地比较难走,但对这些大多是渔民出身、从小就玩耍在海边河岸的舰队步兵来说并不是什么难事儿,他们不但行进自如,而且在行进中逐渐的结成了队形。Whengarrison troopsgeneralobtainsthisnews, the fleetinfantryhas basically come ashore, in the cityispiece of chaos.
等到守军将领得到这一消息时,舰队步兵基本都已上岸,城区内已经是一片大乱。Althoughfiercely attacking of Theoniaarmymakes the defense of topbecome serious, Romegeneralalsohas tosqueeze out the littlemilitaryto go to the city, toprevent the advancement of fleetinfantry, avoidsbyboth sidesconverging attack. Butin fact, thisis onlysatisfies thirst by drinking poison.
尽管戴奥利亚军队的猛攻让城头的防御吃紧,罗马将领也不得不挤出少许兵力前往城区,以阻挡舰队步兵的推进,避免被两面夹击。但事实上,这只是饮鸩止渴而已。
The mounted scout who has been observing the garrison troopstrendrapidlymade the returntoKing Davos the topenemy'schange, helets the team that the fourthregiment of conserving strengthjoinsto attack a cityimmediatelyunquestioning, thistenthlaststraw that runs over the camel.
一直在观察守军动向的侦骑迅速将城头敌人的变化向戴弗斯国王作出了回报,他毫不迟疑的让养精蓄锐的第四军团立刻加入攻城的队伍,这成了压死骆驼的最后一根稻草。
The toward evening, the Theoniaarmyattacked and occupiedOstiadal.
黄昏时分,戴奥尼亚大军攻占了奥斯提亚。.............................................

Urgentmilitary situation!......”Quitemakes the people on streetmaketo give way to trafficbeforehand, in order to avoidinjures accidentally.
与此同时,急促的马蹄声踏破了黄昏时分刚刚安静下来的罗马城,再加上信使在战马上一路高喊:“紧急军情!紧急军情!……”好让街道上的民众事先做出避让,以免误伤。Thisnaturallycaused the doubtsandstartled of manyRomepeople: „Has an accident?! WasCamillussuffered the failure?!”
这自然就引起了不少罗马民众的疑惑和惊慌:“出了什么事?!难道是卡米卢斯遭到了失败?!”„Do not speak irresponsibly, howCamillusis possibly defeated! Ilooked that definitelywasourarmyattacks and capturesPhelanto raise the Romcity!”
“不要乱说,卡米卢斯怎么可能失败!我看肯定是我们的军队攻克了菲伦提鲁姆城!”„Ifwins, the messengerhad announcedtous, does not catch uptowardcouncil that usesto worry.”
“如果是获胜,刚才的信使早就对我们宣布了,根本不用那么着急的往元老院赶。”
......
……
In the Romepeoplediscuss spiritedly, the messengerrides a horseacross the square, opened the councilfront door.
就在罗马民众议论纷纷之际,信使骑马穿过广场,推开了元老院的大门。This timeRomesenior statesmenare aboutto leave the conference site, went hometo rest, suddenlyheard„the Theoniaarmy came from marine, sooninLatincoastlanding” the news, shocked.
这时的罗马元老们正准备离开会场,回家休息,突然听到“戴奥尼亚大军从海上而来、即将在拉丁姆海岸登陆”的消息,都大为震惊。For serveral days, theystayedat the councilmainbusinessarelisten to the Romearmyto the progress of Hernicanswar, intheyare longing for when receivesnews that wonfinally, has not thoughtfirstheard was actually Theonianlaunched the attacktothem.
这些天,他们呆在元老院主要的事务就是听取罗马军队对赫尔尼基人战争的进展情况,就在他们渴望着接到最终胜利的消息时,没想到首先听到的却是戴奥尼亚人对他们发动了进攻。
Doesn't TheonianbattlewithCarthageinSicilynow?! Aren't theydefending the attack of Samnites?!...... ManyRomesenior statesmenhear the firstresponse of thisnewsareunbelievable.戴奥尼亚人现在难道不是在西西里同迦太基作战吗?!他们不正是在防御萨莫奈人的侵袭吗?!……不少罗马元老听到这个消息的第一反应就是难以置信。Compares the shock of mostsenior statesmen, BodiTusalsoseemssomewhatcalm, hisloudasking: „Where the Theoniaarmylands, did youdetermine?”
相比较大多数元老的震惊,波蒂图斯还显得有些镇定,他大声的问道:“戴奥尼亚军队在什么地方登陆,你们确定了吗?”Messengerreply: „GeneralPaulus the honestmounted scouttracesalong the coast, believes that quickwill have the newsreturn.”
信使回答:“保卢斯将军正派侦骑沿海岸追踪,相信很快就会有消息回报。”BodiTusponder, whiletalked to oneself: „Ardea? Is impossible, itis away fromAntium is too near, ourarmiesare very easyto destroylanding of Theonian...... the coast of RaviNeame, has the possibility, thissmall townabsolutelydoes not havemanycitizensoldiers......”
波蒂图斯一边沉思、一边自语:“阿迪?不可能,它距离安提乌姆太近,我们的军队很容易破坏戴奥尼亚人的登陆……拉维尼姆的海岸,有可能,这座小城根本就没有多少公民兵……”Has not waited forhim saying that BeeneyOurssehas shoutedloudly: „OstiadalfromRaviNeamenotfar!”
还没等他说完,阿比尼乌斯已经大声喊道:“奥斯提亚可是距离拉维尼姆没有多远!”„Ostiadal! The Theoniatarget is extremely possibleisOstiadal!!......”Inconference siteresounds a calling out in alarmsoundimmediately, the Romesenior statesmenare not the generations of worthless fellow, theymostlyhave participated inmanycity-statebusiness and external warsbeforeto become the senior statesman, theycan certainlyrealize that loses the loss of OstiadaltoRomein a big way, butobtainssomebighelp of OstiadaltoTheonian.
“奥斯提亚!戴奥尼亚的攻击目标极可能是奥斯提亚!!……”会场内顿时响起一片惊呼之声,罗马的元老们并非酒囊饭袋之辈,他们大多在成为元老之前都参与过诸多的城邦事务以及对外战争,他们当然能意识到失去奥斯提亚对罗马的损失有多大,而得到奥斯提亚对戴奥尼亚人又有多大的帮助。„The Ostiadalcityhas3000garrison troops, moreover after Paulus, Zyuss, PanTiOurssetheydiscoverexceptionally, can the gatheringarmy, hurry to the stop, the situationshouldnot be bad.”LukeraisesOursseto comfort the people.
“奥斯提亚城有3000名守军,而且保卢斯、梅久斯、潘提乌斯他们发现异常后,一定会集合军队,赶去阻拦,情况应该没有那么糟糕。”卢克里提乌斯安慰众人。„The beforehandfighthad toldus, the battle efficiency of Theoniasoldieris very strong, moreoverlistened toa moment ago the report of messenger, the armypopulation that Theonianwill soon landperhapssentsoldiers that the Volsciborderguarded more than us, in additionthat10,000TheoniareinforcementsinVolscialsohurried to assistthemto land, wemusthave the worstpreparation, perhapsPaulustheywere incapable ofpreventing the opposite partyfrom landing, butOstiadal may be very attackedby the opposite party!”CautiousBodiTusremindedloudly.
“之前的战斗已经告诉了我们,戴奥尼亚士兵的战斗力很强,而且听刚才信使的汇报,戴奥尼亚人即将登陆的军队人数恐怕比我们派到沃尔西边境驻守的士兵人数还要多,再加上原本在沃尔西境内的那一万名戴奥尼亚援军也赶去协助他们登陆,我们必须要有最坏的准备,保卢斯他们恐怕无力阻止对方登陆,而奥斯提亚很可能遭到对方的进攻!”谨慎的波蒂图斯大声提醒道。„Eventheycanlandsmoothly, theyare impossiblein such a short timeto take overOstiadal, we have the opportunity!”ApuRieusaidloudly.
“就算他们能够顺利登陆,他们也不可能在这么短的时间内攻下奥斯提亚,我们还有机会!”阿普列乌斯大声说道。Hiswordsobtainmanysenior statesmenimmediatelyshouldwith. Yes, theynot only the judgmentmade a mistake the situation, but alsoTheonianboldcommands the armyfrom the marineattackagain, went round the Romewith large armydefensecities, surprise attackitsdefensevoidcenter, making the south-westdefensive strategy that theyestablishchangenotstudiously, theynaturallydo not hope that TheoniacapturesOstiadalagain, thiswill letregret in theirheartin the extreme.
他的话立刻得到了不少元老的应和。是啊,他们不但判断错了局势,而且戴奥尼亚人大胆的再次率军从海上进攻,绕开了罗马重兵防守的城镇,突袭其防御空虚的腹地,让他们所设置的西南部防御策略都化作了无用功,他们当然不希望戴奥尼亚再夺取奥斯提亚,这会让他们心中的懊悔无以复加。„Nowfeared the army that Paulustheyledto battlewithTheonia, how the tactical situation, believes that in the eveningwecanobtain the news.”secureBootheTusreminded the peopledo not consume the energyto go to the blindguessagain, hissinkingsoundsaid: „Nowwemustdosends peopleto informCamillusimmediately!”
“现在恐怕保卢斯他们率领的军队已经在和戴奥尼亚交战了,战况到底如何,相信晚上我们就能得到消息。”安布斯图斯提醒众人不要再耗费精力去盲目猜测,他沉声说道:“我们现在要做的就是立刻派人去通知卡米卢斯!”„Ido not supportyouropinion. Nowoutsideitis black, at nightrides a horseis very difficult, moreoverTullerLuseriver valleytopographydoes not fluctuateevenly, therealsohas the Hernicansvestigesto loafin the open countrylet alone, at this timesent peopleto informCamillus, mightbeforeseeinghimvery muchlost the life.

Cornelius. westBiAdisagreesimmediately.
“我不赞成你的意见。现在外面的天已经黑了,黑夜骑马很困难,而且图勒鲁斯河谷地势起伏不平,更何况那里还有赫尔尼基人的残余在野外游荡,这个时候派人去通知卡米卢斯,很有可能在见到他之前就丢掉了性命。丢掉了性命还是小事,若是落在赫尔尼基人及其同盟的手中,让他们得知了戴奥尼亚人大举入侵的消息,会大大的鼓舞他们的士气,并且对卡米卢斯将来率军撤退造成麻烦。”普布利乌斯.科尔内利乌斯.西庇阿立刻表示异议。Manysenior statesmenthink that hesaidrational.
不少元老都认为他说得有理。At this time, a soundresoundedon the conference siteloudly: „No mattersomemajordifficulties, mustsend peopleto informCamillustonight, makinghimcommand the armyto returnas soon as possible!”Titustoneis sayingfirmly, heobserves the situation the people in conference site, the facial expressiontensegregatesheavily: „Senior statesmanas well asrecent, Ithought of a veryserious concerna moment ago, inIdozensyears of profession, warthroughoutlikegoddispositionunpredictable, whenyoufelt the situation will be very bad, the factbecomesbad! Wemustconsider that the Theoniaarmywill mount a large-scale attacktomorrowourRomecitypossibility!”
这时,一个声音在会场上大声响起:“不管有多大的困难,今天晚上必须派人通知卡米卢斯,让他尽快率军回返!”波提图斯语气坚决的说着,他环视会场内的众人,神情十分凝重:“诸位元老以及各位新进,我刚才想到一个十分严重的问题,在我几十年的生涯中,战争始终像神祗的脾性一样捉摸不定,当你觉得情况会很糟糕的时候,事实会变得更加的糟糕!我们必须要考虑到戴奥尼亚军队明天会大举进攻我们罗马城这个可能性!”Inconference siteagainin an uproar.
会场内再次一片哗然。Even ifTheoniantakes riskto bypass the Romeperson'sdefenseonland, surprise attackcolonizingcityOstiadal, but do theyhavethatbiggutsisland of resistanceto go down toandinvade the inland of Latinarea?! Inall aroundisin the situations of enemy, attacks the Romecityoutrageously?!! Althoughmanysenior statesmenwere shockedbyBodiTus'sspeculation, is actually holding the attitude of suspicioncompletely: First a Ostiadalwill spendtheira lot oftime!戴奥尼亚人即使冒险绕过罗马人在陆地上的防御,突袭殖民城奥斯提亚,但他们有那么大的胆量孤军深入、侵入拉丁姆地区的内陆?!在四周都是敌人的情况下,悍然进攻罗马城?!!很多元老虽然被波蒂图斯的推测所震惊,却完全抱着怀疑的态度:首先一个奥斯提亚就会花费他们不少时间!
