The bugle call that various Greek city-state attacks, retreat is similar, but before the military deployment of Thurii basically has not changed, except for all gave out Archytas 200 cavalries, this makes Archytas be full of the favorable impression to Davos, thanked to him repeatedly. 希腊各城邦进攻、撤退的号声大致相同,而之前图里伊的军事部署基本没变,除了将两百名骑兵悉数拨给了阿契塔,这让阿契塔更对戴弗斯充满好感,连声向他感谢。 Burkes stands in not far away, looked that the people were discussing, similarly has favorable impression him not to understand to Davos: Why Davos will sing the song of praise in this time to the Pythagoras school of thought that before had not listened to him to raise! He does not know in Magna Graecia, except for Taranto, no city-state will have the favorable impression to the Pythagoras school of thought that making this mysterious group in the Magna Graecia survival difficult? His attitude will perhaps affect Friis and Kunogelata they to his impression! 布尔科斯站在不远处,看众人在商议,同样对戴弗斯有好感的他不明白:为什么戴弗斯会在此时对毕达哥拉斯学派唱赞歌,之前没听他提起过啊！难道他不知道在大希腊,除了塔兰图姆,没有一个城邦会对毕达哥拉斯学派有好感,使得这个神秘的团体在大希腊生存艰难吗？他的这种态度恐怕会影响斐瑞斯、库诺戈拉塔他们对他的观感啊！ When Burkes worries for Davos, the brief meeting before this stand ended quickly. Davos jumping up horse, toward own team slowly line, the team that while observes is passing through these two that will soon fight side-by-side from his side: Taranto reinforcements soldier who Archytas leads, each one is the 20-30 years old capable young people, full of energy carries the round shield and right shoulder to depend on with the left shoulder is puncturing the spear/gun, to select the helmet, marches, while spoke with the companion, the facial expression comparison relaxed ; But the Thurii citizen soldier mostly appears serious-looking, many people are gray-haired, body slightly rickets...... 就在布尔科斯替戴弗斯担忧的时候,这个站前的碰头会很快的结束了。戴弗斯跳上马,一边往自己的队伍缓缓行去,一边观察着从他身旁经过的这两只即将并肩作战的队伍:阿契塔率领的塔兰图姆援军士兵,个个都是二三十岁的精壮年轻人,精神抖擞的用左肩扛着圆盾、右肩依着刺枪、挑着头盔,一边行军,一边与同伴说话,神情比较放松;而图里伊的公民兵大多显得表情凝重,有不少人已经头发花白,身体略微佝偻…… Looks, Davos frowns, suddenly he thought that some are not right, are pointing at behind the team, follows to say in Burkes: „What's all this about? How wear skin armor soldier?...... Wait...... also some unexpectedly ** the body, such soldier are many...... is not right, your population incessantly 4000 people!” 看着看着,戴弗斯皱起了眉头,忽然他觉得有些不对,指着队伍后方,同跟在身边的布尔科斯说道:“这是怎么回事？怎么还有穿着皮甲的士兵？……等等……还有一些居然**着身体,这样的士兵还不少……不对,你们的人数不止四千人！” Burkes said: „These are the freeman and in Thurii life the foreigner. Thurii ecclesia after the discussion, adopted a resolution, ‚any freeman and foreign land person who attend this war, after victory, will become the Thurii citizen’, said that your suggestion reminded us. Now the Thurii team population is about 6000 people.” Burkes is slightly contented. 布尔科斯接话道:“那些都是自由民和在图里伊生活的外邦人。图里伊公民大会经过讨论,通过了一个决议,‘凡是参加这次战争的自由民和异邦人,战争胜利后将成为图里伊公民’,说起来还是你的建议提醒了我们。现在图里伊的队伍人数约为六千人。”布尔科斯略显自得。 This alleviated the anxiety in Davos heart slightly, saying that he sighed: „Cannot think of the freemen in Thurii city to be really many!” 这稍微缓解了戴弗斯心中的不安,他感叹的说道:“想不到图里伊城里的自由民真不少！” „In fact this is only a small part, the most freeman is waiting and seeing, has not joined this fight.” The Burkes words let Davos amazed at the same time, lets him looking pensive. “实际上这只是一小部分,还有大半的自由民在观望,并没有加入这次战斗。”布尔科斯的话让戴弗斯惊诧的同时,也让他若有所思。 The Thurii allied armies are divided into the left , middle and right column of threes, the platoon on the Sybaris plain becomes the long line, marches forward to the west along Crati river slowly. The scout cavalry unceasing round-trip, returns the Lucanians trend. 图里伊联军分成左、中、右三路纵队,在绪巴里平原上排成长龙,沿着克拉蒂河向西缓缓行进。侦查骑兵不断的往返,回报卢卡尼亚人的动向。 ........................ …………………… The messengers catch up, said to Captain Davos: „General Friis orders you to stop going forward, in this formation!” 传令兵赶来,向戴弗斯首领说道:“斐瑞斯将军命令你们停止前进,在此列阵！” „Knew.” The Davos nod responded, then namely said to division trumpeter: „Sounds the bugle, stops going forward!” “知道了。”戴弗斯点头回应,然后即对身边的司号兵说道:“吹号,停止前进！” The bugle sound gets up, the mercenaries team stopped the advance quickly. 军号声响起,雇佣军队伍很快停止了前进。 „Order, formation!” Davos ordered again. “命令,列阵！”戴弗斯再次下令。 Si Haobing sounds the circular brass wind instrument again. 司号兵再次吹响圆形铜号。 Immediately, garrison team of mercenaries to the right lateral, the team tail suspends forward. The Davos army( squad only plays management role by the division as the fundamental unit of fight, when is unable independent combat), to arrange the garrison, the itself/Ben according to one division four rows, arranges in turn downward, therefore entire team ‚long line’ flings, when upfront western North Korea, formation basically completed, the speed is quick. 立刻,雇佣军的纵队队首向右移,队尾向前摆。戴弗斯的军队是以分队作为战斗的基本单位(小队仅起管理作用,无法独立作战),排纵队时,本就是按照一个分队四列,依次往下排,因此整条队伍的‘长龙’甩过来,正面朝西时,列阵就基本完成了,速度很快。 Davos arranges the single layer infantry regiment at the farthest right side, because here must link up with Thurii center, therefore by the step of attack and retreat of steady single layer infantry company team leader Kapus control personnel, prevents to come apart with center. Most left side is the tertiary infantry regiment that Amintas leads, the population of considering enemy are many, the most left flank may encounter the encystation, a daring to challenge Chief even/including will make the morale of soldiers keep soaring, actually, Davos thought that similarly operational experience richer Hieronymus is fiercely more suitable to take on this heavy responsibility, but this turned to his past expeditionary force high-ranking military officer recruit excessively to be under many( when Byzantium joined team), Davos had not felt relieved. Is good because of Amintas behind the assistances of two peltast regiments, believes that stable line of defense absolutely does not have the issue. Traditionally, the Greek phalanx thickness at least eight rows, the Davos team only has four rows , because the military are few, must guarantee the battleline the length, then in the thickness can only be frailer. But Davos believes, the experienced mercenaries can definitely block the large group of enemy. 戴弗斯将第一重步兵连队排在最右端,因为这边是要与图里伊的中路相衔接,所以由稳重的第一重步兵连队长卡普斯控制队伍的进攻与后退的步伐,防止与中路脱节。最左端则是阿明塔斯率领的第三重步兵连队,考虑到敌人的人数多,最左端的侧翼可能会遭到包绕,一个敢打敢拼的连队长会使士兵们的士气保持高昂,其实,戴弗斯觉得同样勇猛而作战经验却更丰富的希罗尼穆斯更适合担此重任,怎奈这位才投靠他的昔日远征军将官手下新兵过多(在拜占庭时加入队伍的),戴弗斯还不太放心。好在阿明塔斯身后有两个轻盾兵连队的辅助,相信稳固防线是完全没有问题的。传统上,希腊方阵的厚度至少有八列,戴弗斯的队伍却只有四排,是因为兵力少,要保证阵线的长度,那么厚度上就只能单薄些了。但戴弗斯相信,经验丰富的雇佣兵们完全能够挡住人数众多的敌人。 left flank formation had finished, center is still launching slowly, the command and soldiers mutual reminder of yelling and messenger of team officers, various sounds interwine,...... Friis placed the most front row of battleline the Drakos 1000 mercenaries like the noisy big market simply, the Thurii citizen soldier comes , after free common people residence, the thickness has more than ten rows fully...... 左翼已经列阵完毕,中路还在缓慢地展开,队官们的叫喊、传令兵的号令、士兵们相互的提醒,各种声音交织在一起,简直就像个嘈杂的大市场……斐瑞斯将德拉科斯的一千名雇佣兵放在了阵线的最前列,图里伊公民兵居中,自由民居后,厚度足有十几列…… right flank formation is also quite rapid. Archytas arranged the Taranto citizen soldier at front, after the mercenary occupied, the farthest right side was 200 cavalries, his phalanx thickness also had eight rows. 右翼列阵也比较迅速。阿契塔将塔兰图姆公民兵排在了前面,雇佣兵居后,最右端是两百名骑兵,他的方阵厚度也有八列。 Finally, center also formation finished, left , the right flank array becomes a line continually. The Thurii priests are lifting the Thurii patron- the sun god Apollo idol, before arriving at phalanx, starts to sing reads aloud the song of praise, then the offer blood food, prays for the victory, the soldiers also start silently prayed to Apollo, in order to obtains his blessing ; The Taranto soldiers were also praying, but to the sun god, their city-state does not have own patron god Poseidon, even city-state half god hero flange Tus in legend ; But what the mercenaries mostly believe is war-god Ares as well as Lord God Zeus, the Davos soldiers are different, before they also believe in Ares, but after Davos led them to obtain wins and creates many miracles, starts to believe in Hades Emperor...... 终于,中路也列阵完毕,左、中、右翼的阵列连成一条线。图里伊的祭司们抬着图里伊的保护神-太阳神阿波罗的神像,来到方阵前开始唱诵赞歌,接着奉献血食,为战争胜利祈福,士兵们也开始默默的向阿波罗祈祷,以求获得他的庇佑;塔兰图姆的士兵们也在祈祷,不过不是向太阳神,他们的城邦有自己的守护神波塞冬,甚至还有传说中的城邦半神英雄法兰图斯;而雇佣军们大多信奉的是战神阿瑞斯以及主神宙斯,不过戴弗斯的士兵们却不同,以前他们也是信奉阿瑞斯,但戴弗斯带领他们取得一个又一个胜利、创造不少奇迹之后,开始信奉冥王哈帝斯了…… When the army immerses when prayed to the god, mounted scouts spreading one after another will also return, brings the Lucanian alliance forthcoming news, the Lucania cavalry scouts also appears before Greek Allied armies, was driven back by the Greek cavalry of overwhelming with numerical strength quickly. 当全军都沉浸在对神祗的祈祷之中时,侦骑们也陆续的驰回,带来卢卡尼亚联军即将来到的消息,卢卡尼亚的探骑也出现在希腊联军阵前,很快被人多势众的希腊骑兵逼退。 „Lucanians less than three li (0.5 km)...... should call the army to be ready from us!” Kunogelata anxious saying. “卢卡尼亚人距离我们已经不到三里……应该叫全军做好准备了！”库诺戈拉塔紧张的说道。 Friis beckons with the hand, said: „It is not anxious, Lucanians will not attack quickly. Their armies have not appeared. Even if appeared, the light is suspends the battlefield still to need some time.” 斐瑞斯摆摆手,说道:“不急,卢卡尼亚人不会这么快进攻的。他们的军队还没出现。就算出现了,光是摆好战阵也需要一段时间。” Kunogelata draws back resentfully. 库诺戈拉塔悻悻而退。 After a while, saw that on the wilderness of distant place shone a flake gold light, all over was, came in waves to east like a golden mighty current. 过了一会儿,就见到远处的原野上亮起了一片金光,满山遍野都是,像一条金色的洪流向东滚滚而来。 Kunogelata held breath a cold air, anxious saying: „Just as that young leader of mercenaries said that Lucanians really changed our weapon and armor, this may be somewhat troublesome!” 库诺戈拉塔倒吸了口凉气,紧张的说道:“正像雇佣军的那个年轻首领说的,卢卡尼亚人果然换上了我们的武器和盔甲,这可有些麻烦了！” „Don't worry, Lucanians, even if traded the equipment, in such short time, they cannot learn our Greeks battlefield, actually discarded their strong point, perhaps instead is the good deed.” Friis comforted him to say unhurriedly, turned around to say to the transmitting orders officer: „Fast informs various team of officers, making them do not worry, making the soldiers continue to rest.” “不用担心,卢卡尼亚人就算换了装备,在这么短的时间,他们也学不好我们希腊人的战阵,却又丢弃了他们自己的长处,说不定反而是好事。”斐瑞斯不慌不忙的安慰他说,又转身对传令官说道:“速去通知各队官,让他们不要着急,让士兵们继续休息。” ................................. …………………………… „Damn, we at the back of Sun, the sunlight according to them, puncturing my eye are very uncomfortable. When a while battle, their javelin throw will be influential to Epiphanes and Cid!” Mathot Lees feels several points of anxiety. “该死,我们是背着太阳的,阳光照在他们身上,刺得我眼睛很不舒服。一会儿交战时,对埃皮忒尼斯和茨皮特他们投掷标枪会有影响的！”马托里斯感到几分不安。 „That has what means that who called us situated in the East. Isn't the Thurii patron Apollo? Might as well make them pray to Apollo, today does not use.” Saying that Olivos cracks a joke. “那有什么办法,谁叫我们位于东方。图里伊的保护神不是阿波罗吗？不如让他们向阿波罗祈祷,今天不用出来啦。”奥利弗斯开玩笑的说道。 „Might as well looks for our Captain Davos, will make Hades turn into the night directly during the daytime, this fight did not need to hit.” Epiphanes also teased. “还不如找我们的戴弗斯首领,直接让哈迪斯将白天变成黑夜,这场战斗也就不用打了。”埃皮忒尼斯也打趣道。 ...... …… The mercenaries soldiers are resting, the team officers also gather cracking a joke in a few words around Davos, has not been serious opposite large group of Lucanians quite the same as. 雇佣军士兵们在休息,队官们也聚在戴弗斯周围三言两语的开着玩笑,浑然没将对面人数众多的卢卡尼亚人当回事。
