Ledes is impolite, said directly: „The enemy in granary will be eliminated quickly, you divide half of people to monitor the enemy in city, preventing them to go out of town the sneak attack, another part of people prepare to put out a fire.” 莱德斯也不客气,直接说道:“粮仓里的敌人很快就会被消灭,你分一半人监视着城上的敌人,防止他们出城偷袭,另一部分人准备救火。” Cooch Oursse returns to oneself regiment immediately, soon has about thousand soldiers to jump down the horse, puts out the Asian gunnysack that carries, starts to put the earth. This is two legatus after last night received the order of Davos, considering that the enemy has the possibility in burning down granary, provided for a rainy day, but prepared beforehand, after all the earthenware jar was not good to carry, but the soil everywhere was. 库奇乌斯立刻返回自己的军团,很快有近千名士兵跳下马,拿出携带的亚麻袋,就地开始装土。这是两位军团长在昨晚接到戴弗斯的命令之后,考虑到敌人有焚烧粮仓的可能,未雨绸缪而事先准备的,毕竟瓦罐不好携带,而泥土随处都是。 Before long, more than 200 palace guards also rode a horse to rush, making two legatus be surprised: „Did your majesty arrive quickly?!” 不一会儿,200多名宫廷卫士也骑马赶到了,让两位军团长感到惊讶:“陛下这么快就到了？！” „Your majesty worried that the Rome person will guard the granary, and sends the army to go out of town with you battles, therefore makes us catch up to reinforce, the light infantry army is also catching up toward here.” Martius replied. “陛下担心罗马人会据守粮仓,并且派军队出城和你们作战,所以让我们赶来增援,轻步兵部队也正在往这里赶。”马尔提乌斯回答。 Ledes despises in a finger/refers toward top: „Your majesty was anxious, in fact the timid Rome person does not dare to go out of town!” 莱德斯蔑视的往城头上一指:“陛下过于忧虑了,事实上胆小的罗马人根本就没敢出城！” At this time, the war cry in camp vanished, the front door was opened, the cavalries carry immediately are packing the earth gunnysack to clash toward. 这时,营地内的喊杀声消失了,大门被打开,骑兵们立刻拎着装满土的麻袋就往里冲。 But Ledes saw the third chief who catches up with hurriedly, is busy at asking: „Casualties how?” 而莱德斯则看到了急匆匆赶过来的第三大队长,忙问道:“伤亡怎样？” „...... Died 32 brothers, is injured 67 people, including 15 people are the severe wound......” the third chief facial expression are slightly depressed. “……死了32个兄弟,受伤67人,其中有15人是重伤……”第三大队长神情略显沮丧。 „Casualties so many?!” Ledes has not thought that one's own side in occupying the situation of population overwhelming superiority, unexpectedly will pay with about hundred people of casualties, making him feel the heart pain. Must know before , at Volsci Setia that war, the loss of first cavalry corps is very big, although post-war Thurii sent some troop replenishments, but the regiment population has not arranged completely. “伤亡这么多？！”莱德斯没有想到己方在占据人数绝对优势的情况下,居然会付出近百人的伤亡,让他倍感心痛。要知道之前在沃尔西的塞提亚那一战,第一骑兵军团的损失就很大,虽然战后图里伊送来一些兵员补充,但军团人数并未满编。 „Inside enemy?” He has the hatred to ask. “里面的敌人呢？”他带着恨意问道。 „Died in battle completely, unmanned surrender.” “全部战死了,无人投降。” Ledes does not speak, the stride walked toward the granary camp. 莱德斯不说话了,大步往粮仓营地内走去。 In the front door, he noticed that a Rome soldier sits by near the wall, chest in all directions sword cut, blood unceasing wells up outward, will all have the blood red, he is motionless, the eyes shut tightly, in the hand also closely entrains is puncturing the spear/gun, just like a sculpture, the top of helmet tops is the bright red capstring, obviously is a team officer. 在大门内,他看到一个罗马士兵坐靠在墙边,前胸四处剑伤,鲜血不断的往外涌,将全身染成血红色,他一动不动,双眼紧闭,手上还紧紧拽着刺枪,宛如一尊雕塑,头盔的顶冠上是鲜红的帽缨,显然是一位队官。 Ledes stops the footsteps, sized up his. 莱德斯停住脚步,打量了他一下。 Who knows, the Rome soldier who that seemingly died actually opened the eyes suddenly, angry gazing at fixedly Ledes, struggles is wanting the thorn to act the thorn spear/gun. 谁知,那看似死去的罗马士兵却突然睁开了双眼,愤怒的瞪视莱德斯,挣扎着想要刺出手中的刺枪。 „legatus is careful!” The cavalries overrun immediately. “军团长小心！”身后的骑兵们立刻冲过去。 „Do not move!” Ledes waved to stop them, is standing erect same place motionless, is looking straight ahead the opposite party with a penetrating look. “都别动！”莱德斯挥手止住了他们,然后在原地屹立不动,以锐利的目光直视着对方。 Rome squadron commander cover Yousi wants to hold up to puncture the spear/gun, but is usually light , if no thorn spear/gun of thing at this moment actually seriously if thousand jin (0.5 kg), but a physical strength that he saves with without a trace that the blood of spout passes, he can only the full anger through the vision thorn to the leader of enemy, be the eyelid is getting more and more heavy, he unwilling wants to bellow, however, the blood actually gushes out the mouth all of a sudden...... 罗马中队长盖优斯想要举起刺枪,但平时轻若无物的刺枪此刻却重若千斤,而他积蓄起的一点气力都随着喷涌的鲜血流逝的无影无踪,他只能将满腔的愤怒通过目光刺向敌人的这个首领,可是眼皮却越来越沉重,他不甘心的想大吼一声,然而,血液却一下子涌出口腔…… Looks that the opposite party lies down dejected, Ledes silent, then walked with stride. 看着对方颓然躺倒,莱德斯沉默了一下,然后大步走了进去。 .......................................... …………………………………… Sees the distant place is standing erect that big city, the restraining warhorse that Davos can not help: Rome, in the previous generation West history first, is only one turns into inner lake the center of big empire Mediterranean, many spreads in the people about its soul-stirring story for a lot of years, many eulogies described its poetry article to be written by the writer literatis! It is a dream in previous generation innumerable past and present ambitious west person of heart, dream about unification...... 看到远处矗立着的那一座大城,戴弗斯情不自禁的勒住战马:罗马,前世西方历史上第一个、也是唯一的一个将地中海变成内湖的大帝国的中心,多少关于它的惊心动魄的故事千百年来在民众中流传,多少歌颂描述它的诗歌文章被文人墨客们书写！它是前世无数古今有雄心的西方人心中的一个梦,一个关于统一的梦…… The previous generation, Davos does not have the opportunity to tour to go sightseeing this to call it- Western European civilized beginning great city, but now he came, but he sees is not one lively completely went to and become Rome of historic relics, but during was one rose earlier and just the crude city situated in the Republic, although he had understood this city from the information repeatedly in detail, but was also difficult to cover in the heart the flood excitement. 前世,戴弗斯没有机会去游览观光这座可以被称之为-西欧文明起点的伟大城市,而现在他来了,但他看到的不是一个繁华尽去、已成历史遗迹的罗马,而是一个处于共和国前期、刚刚崛起之中的简陋城市,尽管他已经多次从情报中详细了解了这座城市,但也难掩心中泛起的激动。 „Harnesses!” The Davos both legs clamp the barrel, the warhorse neigh, spins forward. “驾！”戴弗斯双腿一夹马腹,战马嘶鸣一声,向前疾奔。 „Your majesty!!!” The surrounding person has a scare, hurries to pursue, but is quick they to feel relieved, because the front first team cavalries welcomed, palace guard that before sent, their rapid protect in the Davos surroundings. “陛下！！！”周围的人吓了一跳,慌忙追了上去,但很快他们就放下心来,因为前方一队骑兵迎了过来,正是之前派出去的宫廷卫队,他们迅速环卫在戴弗斯的周围。 Davos sees Martius, asks immediately: „Ledes have they captured the river port and granary?” 戴弗斯一见到马尔提乌斯,就立刻问道:“莱德斯他们已经夺取了河港与粮仓？” „Yes, your majesty.” Martius replied: „The first cavalry corps and second cavalry corps have not received the Rome person too big resistance, captured the river port and granary, and put off the fire of granary promptly, now Ledes and Tsiou two legatus are taking inventory of goods and materials in that side, the special details they will report to you.” “是的,陛下。”马尔提乌斯回答道:“第一骑兵军团和第二骑兵军团未受到罗马人太大的抵抗,就夺取了河港与粮仓,并且及时的扑灭了粮仓的大火,现在莱德斯和库齐乌斯两位军团长正在那边清点物资,具体情况他们会向您汇报。” „Smooth good!” Davos breathes a sigh of relief lightly: First step was successfully completed, making him to capturing this city were many a confidence. “顺利就好！”戴弗斯轻舒了口气:第一步成功完成,让他对攻取这座城市多了一份信心。 „Walks, has a look the Rome city!” He is pointing at the front smugly. “走,去看看罗马城！”他踌躇满志的指着前方。 .......................................... …………………………………… The Rome person in Rome western city wall sees the front raising billowing windblown dust, has extended to the distant place, until the line of sight beyond, cannot help but anxious, because they know: The Theonia army came! 罗马西城墙上的罗马人看到前方升起滚滚尘烟,一直向远方延伸,直至视线之外,不由得都紧张起来,因为他们知道:戴奥尼亚的大军来了！ Then, they noticed that several hundred cavalry gallop come, in beyond hundred meters stands firm from the city wall: In this team is holding high two flags, is entirely different from the colors of Theonia cavalry before saw, they were all over the body glittering. But in the center that the cavalry crowds around is a gold/metal helmet golden armor and top crown is general of long plume feather, under sky slightly west Sun shines, especially dazzling. 接着,他们又看到几百名骑兵疾驰而来,在距离城墙百米外站定:这支队伍中高举着两杆大旗,和之前看到的戴奥尼亚骑兵的军旗大不相同,它们通体金光闪闪。而在骑兵簇拥的中央是一位金盔金甲、顶冠是长长翎羽的将领,在天空略微偏西的太阳照耀下,格外的耀眼。 „Possibly was the Theonia king comes.” In senior statesmen some people indefinite said in a low voice, no one disagreed, they are looking under the city silently the person of that doubtful King Theonia, his hand is pointing at the front, is saying anything with the surrounding person, Soon exuded the laughter. “可能是戴奥尼亚的国王来了。”元老中有人不确定的低声说了一句,没有人对此表示异议,他们默默的望着城下那位疑似戴奥尼亚国王的人,他正手指着前方,同周围人说着什么,俄尔发出笑声。 Scipio Africanus spat one, has taken the long shield of nearby soldier suddenly, pulls out the saber, is striking the shield surface, simultaneously loud is shouting: „Rome! Rome! Rome!......” 大西庇阿啐了一口,猛然拿过旁边士兵的长盾,抽出佩剑,敲打着盾面,同时大声的喊着:“罗马！罗马！罗马！……” Soldiers also following city Chief health/guard has the rhythm strikes the long shield, crying out...... 士兵们也跟着城卫长官有节奏的敲打长盾,呐喊着…… Quick, the senior statesmen are also involved...... 很快,元老们也加入其中…… ............................................. ……………………………………… Sees the front city wall from time to time toward in concavely and from time to time outward raised, the entire wall surface curving is uneven, Crotokatax cannot bear say: „Good ugly city wall!” 看到前方的城墙时而往里凹、时而往外凸,整个墙面弯曲不平,克洛托卡塔克斯忍不住说道:“好丑的城墙！” Davos replied with a smile: „This city wall cultivates such bad , because the Rome person expelled north Celts after initially, rebuilds the Rome city eagerly, simply has not made the plan of entire city, to meet at that time the needs of Rome citizen simply. For example-” 戴弗斯笑着回答:“这城墙之所以修得这么糟糕,是因为当初罗马人赶走北面的凯尔特人后,急于重建罗马城,根本没有做整个城市的规划,仅仅只是为了满足当时罗马公民的需要。比如-” Davos points at left side is approaching the city wall that Tiber, protrudes outward saying: Words that „I have not remembered incorrectly, in behind of city wall should be of Lavin courtyard mountains Rome seven earthen mounds. But here-” 戴弗斯手指着左侧靠近台伯河、向外凸出的城墙说道:“我没记错的话,在城墙的后面应该是罗马七丘之一的拉文庭山。而这边-” Right Davos direction similarly obviously outward a prominent big section city wall: „However behind of this city wall is the Rome city biggest slum area.” 戴弗斯指向右侧同样明显向外突出的一大段城墙:“而这段城墙的后面则是罗马城最大的贫民区。” „The Rome person constructs the city like this, has not thought the future was sieged by some chance, how should defend a city?!” Before Martius, knows not many about Rome, therefore feels the surprise, he has not thought that the Rome person will be so shortsighted. “罗马人这样建城,难道没有想过将来万一被围困,该如何守城吗？！”马尔提乌斯之前对罗马了解不多,因此感到诧异,他没有想到罗马人会如此的短视。 „They construct very high the city wall, before the city , the trench that digs seems like also is very wide......” Crotokatax to look at the city wall that the front is standing tall and erect, judges its altitude perhaps more than 15 meters. “不过他们把城墙建得很高,城前挖的壕沟看起来似乎也很宽……”克洛托卡塔克斯望着前方高耸的城墙,判断它的高度恐怕不下15米。 At this time, staff officer officer Tolmides said: „Prince, the light is the city wall is high, its wall is curving, helping our soldiers avoid the Rome person's bottom-up centralized long-distance attack, does not favor the Rome person's fast arrival destination on the wall, reinforces. Moreover, although before the city, has the trench, has not actually set the abati, so long as levelled the trench, our attacking a city instruments can under the relaxed advancing city......” 这时,参谋官托尔米德说道:“王子殿下,光是城墙高没用,它的墙体弯弯曲曲,有利于我们的士兵躲避罗马人从上往下的集中远程攻击,也不利于罗马人在墙上快速的到达目的地,进行增援。而且,虽然城前有壕沟,却没有设置鹿砦,只要填平了壕沟,我们的攻城器械可以轻松的推到城下……” These years, Tolmides, although has not participated in the fight, but he has dozens years of mercenary professions, moreover afterward in the military affairs section assignment, the experience has been rich enough. Therefore, Crotokatax earnest listening attentively, simultaneously often is consulting. 这些年,托尔米德虽然没有参加过战斗,但他有着几十年的雇佣兵生涯,而且后来一直在军务部任职,见识足够丰富。因此,克罗托卡塔克斯认真的倾听,同时不时的请教着。 Davos has not disturbed them, but is observing defense in Rome city earnestly. 戴弗斯没有打扰他俩,而是在认真的观察着罗马城的防御情况。 „Rome!!! Rome!!! Rome!!!......” “罗马！！！罗马！！！罗马！！！……” At this time, in the city wall resounded the slating slogan, was neat and great, to the feeling of Davos: As if the innumerable Rome soldiers in city melt with the city wall for a body. 这时,城墙上响起了雷鸣般的呐喊声,整齐而又宏大,给戴弗斯的感觉:仿佛城上的无数罗马士兵同城墙融为了一体。 His look dignified turns round saying: „The city wall that the Rome person constructs although is not much, but looks at this battle formation, this siege warfare will not be perhaps relaxed.” 他神色凝重的回身说道:“罗马人修建的城墙虽然不怎么样,但看这阵势,这场攻城战恐怕不会轻松。” Tolmides, Martius and the others agreed. 托尔米德、马尔提乌斯等人表示了认同。 At this time, mounted scout gallop came: „Reported your majesty, Amintas, Matonis and Litom three legatus have led the army to rush!” 这时,侦骑疾驰而来:“报陛下,阿明塔斯、马托尼斯、利扎鲁三位军团长已经率领军队赶到！” Davos hears word, observes the situation about, said with a smile: „It seems like we won, Amintas should lose anything!” 戴弗斯闻言,环视左右,笑道:“看来是我们赢了,阿明塔斯是不是该输点什么！” The people laugh. 众人哈哈大笑。 Davos is looking behind in the dust flies upwards unceasingly line of near armies, said: „Tolmides, informs various legatus immediately......, makes the mountain ridge investigate chief Izam also to catch up to come to here immediately!” 戴弗斯望着身后在尘土飞扬中不断行近的一支支部队,说道:“托尔米德,立即通知各军团长……嗯,还有让山岭侦查大队长伊扎姆也立刻赶来这里！” „Yes!” “是！” .......................................... …………………………………… These years, although Rome river port after multiple extensions, but it also only has five and six wharves, the harbor area is not big, is smaller than next to its granary, only the one who makes Davos be interested was in the warehouse in harbor discovered many lumber: „After and other regiments place is appropriate, informs the project camp, moves away them, is used to arrange the camp or manufactures more attacking a city instruments.” 这些年,尽管罗马的河港经过多次扩建,但它也不过只有五、六个码头,港口面积也不大,远小于紧挨着它的粮仓,唯一让戴弗斯感兴趣的是港口内的仓库里又发现了不少木料:“等各军团安置妥当之后,通知工程营,将它们都运走,用来布置营地或者制作更多的攻城器械。” „Yes, your majesty!” Tolmides being busy makes the staff officers remember this matter. “是,陛下！”托尔米德忙让参谋们将此事记下。 Davos bends down to look at present the wave light clear Tiber water surface, the water current is gentle. 戴弗斯俯望着眼前波光粼粼的台伯河水面,水流平缓幽深。 He carries over the distant place the line of sight again, the broad river surface makes the opposite shore appear indistinctly, looked that is not quite clear, he turns head to look to the upstream, what made his disappointed was, only had the rivers in his line of sight, has not seen to connect southern and north bank Shiihashi. 他再将视线移向远方,宽阔的河面让对岸显得影影绰绰,看不太真切,他又扭头看向上游,令他失望的是,在他的视线之内只有河流,没有看见连接南、北岸的椎桥。
