When wants the Theonia army newly to establish the crossbow artillery army initially, regiment ten crossbow artillery provide observation and sighting, moreover they from the Theonia academy, because must survey the point of descent and launch curve accurately, needs deep mathematical knowledge and fast operational capability. More than ten years pass by, now a crossbow artillery can provide observation and sighting, explained achievement of Kingdom of Theonia by chance in civic education. 想当初戴奥尼亚军队刚成立弩炮部队时,一个军团十架弩炮才配备一名观瞄手,而且他们都是来自戴奥尼亚学园,因为要准确的测算出落点和发射曲线,需要较深的数学知识和快速的运算能力。十多年过去,现在一架弩炮就能配备一个观瞄手,恰巧说明了戴奥尼亚王国在公民教育上的成果。 At this moment, the crossbow cannoneer has adjusted the establishment of crossbow artillery under the prompt of observation and sighting, pulled open the spring arm, puts in the small-sized marbles rapidly, fixes on the smooth bore wooden arm, presses down to launch Niu, the copper circle of fixed marbles and holds on the iron hook of spring arm also to separate, the spring arm rapid retraction, the strong torsion promoted the punmetals mounting the marbles, is howling the shoots towards a Rome crossbow artillery that prompts forward slowly. 此刻,弩炮手在观瞄手的提示下已经调好了弩炮的设置,拉开了弹簧臂,迅速放入小号石弹,固定在滑膛木臂上,按下发射钮,固定石弹的铜圈和拉住弹簧臂的铁钩同时弹开,弹簧臂迅速回缩,强大的扭力将石弹推出了炮架,呼啸着射向正在缓慢向前推进的一家罗马弩炮。 „Crossbow artillery! Theonia crossbow artillery!” Pushes sunspot that the Rome soldier of crossbow artillery is seeing in the air to fly, startled shouting, wants to push the crossbow artillery to avoid, however the unwieldy crossbow artillery slow-moving, the marbles actually, pound in an instant in crossbow artillery not far away, splashed Rome soldier dust. “弩炮！戴奥尼亚的弩炮！”推着弩炮的罗马士兵看到空中飞来的黑点,惊慌的大喊,想要推着弩炮避开,然而笨重的弩炮行动缓慢,石弹却转眼即至,砸在弩炮不远处,溅了罗马士兵一身尘土。 The still shaken Rome soldier noticed 89 sunspots depart from the top, raids respectively to other crossbow artillery, although cannot hit finally, has let Titus, in the rear area watches the fight felt being startled, he has not thought that Theonian left behind many crossbow artillery in Ostiadal this small town unexpectedly, moreover lays aside it in the top, is used to attack the crossbow artillery of one's own side, such defense way he has never seen. 惊魂未定的罗马士兵紧接着又看到八九个黑点从城头飞出,分别袭向其他的弩炮,虽然最终都没能击中,已经让在后方观阵的提图斯感到了吃惊,他万万没有想到戴奥尼亚人竟然在奥斯提亚这座小城留下了不少的弩炮,而且还将它放置在城头,用来攻击己方的弩炮,这样的防御方式他从未见过。 In he also when hesitates whether must return the crossbow artillery removes, the Theonia second round of crossbow artillery attack has started. 就在他还在犹豫是否要将弩炮回撤的时候,戴奥尼亚第二轮的弩炮攻击已经开始了。 Ten marbles raid again, finally the Rome crossbow artillery was hit, although is only the arm of force strikes off, but the crossbow artillery is quite fine attacking a city instrument, once balances is destroyed, is impossible to be operational again, only if were repaired. Rome person after obtaining the Carthage crossbow artillery, has to attempt to duplicate it, made some progress, is only in the manufacture core part, for example the metal notch wheel, chain, the metal cylinder, are unable the casting is so fine to Carthage, they still when improving own technology, Theonian came, therefore the Carthage crossbow artillery is bad one and few one. 十颗石弹再次袭来,终于有一架罗马弩炮被击中,虽然只是力臂被击断,但弩炮是较为精细的攻城器械,一旦平衡被破坏,不可能再投入使用,除非被修复。罗马人在得到迦太基的弩炮之后,不是没尝试着去复制它,也取得了一些进展,只是在制作核心部件,比如金属棘轮、链条、金属圆筒等,无法铸造得向迦太基那么精细,他们还在改进自己的技术时,戴奥尼亚人就来了,所以迦太基弩炮是坏一个、少一个。 Titus can only anxious ordering: „Withdraws the crossbow artillery!” 提图斯只能焦急的下令:“撤回弩炮！” In the Rome crossbow artillery army returns to the process that removes in a panic, was wrecked a crossbow artillery by the marbles of top launch again. 在罗马弩炮部队仓皇回撤的过程中,再次被城头发射的石弹击毁一架弩炮。 Titus looks at the crossbow artillery army that returns distressedly, then looked up to start by the setting sun incarnadine sky, then looked into the top densely covered enemy, under the quick vision moved , before staring at the trench , the densely covered abati...... some little time, he took back the line of sight, turns around to look to behind soldier. 提图斯看着狼狈退回的弩炮部队,然后抬头看了看已经开始被夕阳染红的天空,接着又眺望城头密布的敌人,很快目光下移,凝视着壕沟前密布的鹿砦……好一会儿,他才将视线收回,转身看向身后的士兵。 The Rome citizen from colony, have dressed the armor, took up the weapon, although long distance march makes them seem somewhat exhausted, but they stared at the look of Ostiadal actually to be full of the fighting spirit, because recaptured the hope of mother-state to make them be full of the strength, their fighting spirits also infected Titus, making him depress the worry in heart: Although from the contact and his own observation, the defense of Theonian to Ostiadal city was quite strict, but he does not have the time to let the soldiers fully recovered the energy, prepare for attacking a city, but must before the Theonia reinforcements arrived, recaptured the Ostiadal city, therefore she can only depend upon the soldiers exuberant warrior and huge population. 这些来自殖民地的罗马公民,已经穿戴好盔甲,拿起了武器,尽管长途行军让他们显得有些疲惫,但他们凝望奥斯提亚的眼神却充满了斗志,因为夺回母邦的渴望让他们充满了力量,他们的斗志也感染了提图斯,让他压下了心中的顾虑:尽管从刚才的接触和他自己的观察,戴奥尼亚人对奥斯提亚城的防御是比较严密的,但他已经没有时间去让士兵们恢复体力、更全面的做好攻城准备,而是必须要在戴奥尼亚援军到来之前,夺回奥斯提亚城,因此她只能依靠士兵们旺盛的斗士和庞大的人数。 „Informs all troops, prepares to attack!” Titus sinking sound said. “通知各部队,准备进攻！”提图斯沉声说道。 The messengers ride a horse running quickly in army, the squadron commanders shout soldier hand/subordinate to be ready, the soldiers stand up, according to the beforehand arrangement, lifts up from the conducting the back car(riage) of accompanying makes the good scaling ladder and javelin beforehand...... 传令兵骑马奔驰在军阵之中,中队长们呼喊着手下的士兵做好准备,士兵们纷纷站起身,按照之前的布置,从随行的驮车中扛起事先制造好的云梯和标枪…… After a tumult and clamored, „!......” Bugle sound long cry, the Rome army exudes the heavenshaking roar, then the soldiers start to turn toward the east side and south stride of Ostiadal city under squadron commander's leadership march forward( west is sea, north neighbors Tiber, its southeastern direction also has lake and swamp takes barrier). 在一阵骚动和喧哗之后,“呜！……”军号声长鸣,罗马军队发出震天的吼声,然后士兵们在中队长的带领下开始向着奥斯提亚城的东面和南面大步行进(西面是大海,北面紧邻台伯河,其东南方向还有湖泊和沼泽作为屏障)。 Very Lees is looking under the city the tide like the enemy that wells up, subconscious entraining tightened the double fist. 忒利斯望着城下像潮水一样涌来的敌军,下意识的拽紧了双拳。 300 Theonia archers in top noticed that the enemy soon enters in hundred meters range, starts to bend the bow the nocking. 在城头的300名戴奥尼亚弓箭手看到敌人快要进入百米范围内,开始弯弓搭箭。 But has started to launch the marbles and iron arrow in the crossbow artillery and abdomen bow of top at the enemies under city, the enemy who although comes in swarms makes their attack hit probabilities very high, moreover dead shape terrifying, attacking a city tide that but casualties of round attack more than ten people, form regarding tens of thousands of Rome soldiers, but raised a small water splash, completely step that could not prevent the Rome person from advancing. 而在城头的弩炮和腹弓早已开始向城下的敌人发射石弹和铁箭,虽然蜂涌而来的敌人使得它们的攻击命中率很高,而且死状恐怖,但是一轮的攻击不过十几个人的死伤,对于成千上万罗马士兵形成的攻城浪潮来说,不过是掀起了一朵小小的水花,完全阻止不了罗马人前进的步伐。 However in a while, to sent out scream in the forefront Rome soldier one after another: „! Draws my quickly! My foot! My foot was cut!” 但是没过多久,冲在最前面的罗马士兵相继发出了惨叫声:“啊！快拉我一把！我的脚！我的脚被划破啦！” „Careful trap! In buries the sharp nail!!” “小心陷阱！地里埋有尖钉！！” ...... …… In Rome soldier's pitiful yell and in the anxious call, the speed that the entire attacking a city army went forward received the hindrance. 在罗马士兵的惨叫和急呼声中,整个攻城部队前进的速度受到了阻碍。 But supports by the arm the ally who the both legs blood drippings when some Rome soldiers, some careful investigation tread situation and cautious vanguard, the arrow arrow of top hits like the raindrop, to forefront, although many are the Rome heavy infantries, because the trap of under foot forces flurried them without enough time with the shield defense above, but increased some casualties. 而就在有的罗马士兵去搀扶双腿鲜血淋淋的战友,有的则仔细探察着地面情况、小心翼翼的前行之时,城头的箭矢像雨点一样打下来,冲在最前面的虽然多是罗马重步兵,但是因为脚下的陷阱迫使慌乱的他们来不及用盾防御上方,而增加了一些伤亡。 But what is worse is they are obstructed in the trap region, causes the crossbow artillery and abdomen bow of top has enough time to display their lethality. 而更糟糕的是他们被阻截在陷阱地带,使得城头的弩炮和腹弓有足够的时间施展它们的杀伤力。 Titus knows after front combat situation, in the heart is anxious, he realized that oneself underestimated the defense of Theonian to this small town. 提图斯知道前方的战情后,心中非常焦急,他意识到自己还是小看了戴奥尼亚人对这座小城的防御。 He deeply inspires, was calmed down by oneself: „Quick transmitting orders offensive forces, do not worry the advance, first gives me to wipe out these traps full power!” 他深吸了一口气,让自己冷静下来:“快去传令进攻部队,不要着急着前进,先给我全力拔除那些陷阱！” The messengers run quickly to go, quick some mounted scouts speed along: „General Titus, the people of Ardea organization rushed!” 传令兵奔驰而去,很快又有侦骑飞驰而来:“提图斯将军,阿迪组织的民众赶到了！” In Titus heart one happy, just about to replies, some mounted scouts rush: „Reported General Titus, the Antium people caught up!” 提图斯心中一喜,刚要回复,又有侦骑赶到:“报提图斯将军,安提乌姆的民众赶来了！” While Titus leads the army marches to the west, Camillus sent out the messenger, informs the Latin western Rome colonizing city and Latin allied country, hopes that they can send people to assist the army to attack the Ostiadal city, now these cities responded to the request of Camillus. 在提图斯率军队向西行军的同时,卡米卢斯派出了信使,通知拉丁姆西部的罗马殖民城和拉丁盟邦,希望他们能够派人协助军队攻打奥斯提亚城,现在这些城镇回应了卡米卢斯的请求。 The team from west cities is only carrying the commodity, gathered in the rear area of Rome army one after another...... 一只只来自西面城镇的队伍携带着物资,陆续汇聚到了罗马军队的后方…… On Titus's face had the happy expression, he quickly expressed gratitude for the leader, and sent out to organize hundreds and thousands of people to ignite fires of high-piled firewood in all around efficiently, started to build the camp and build tent, prepared the lasting combat. 提图斯的脸上有了喜色,他急忙对领头者表示了感谢,并且派出得力手下组织成百上千的民众在四周燃起了一个个火堆,开始修筑营地、搭建帐篷,准备持久的作战。 Very Lees on the Ostiadal east gate tower over a city gate looks that the archer and crossbow cannoneer before have approached the Rome soldiers to trench to launch the uninterrupted attack, but other soldiers also start the javelin throw to the city. 忒利斯在奥斯提亚东门城楼上看着弓箭手和弩炮手对已经逼近到壕沟前的罗马士兵们进行不间断的攻击,而其他的士兵也开始向城下投掷标枪。 The entire Ostiadal city has eastern and southern two city gates, before very Lees made one die of suffocation south gate, only kept an east gate, only passed for the mounted scout and messenger, making the both sides of outgoing path install underground the trap, the path became very narrow, the Rome soldier has to arrange the long and narrow team in this's attack team, thus encountered in the city the converging attack of soldier, before the trench, lay down completely the wounded soldier. 整个奥斯提亚城有东、南两个城门,之前忒利斯让人堵死了南门,只留一个东门,仅供侦骑和信使通过,使得出城道路的两侧都埋设了陷阱,道路变得很窄,罗马士兵在此的进攻队伍不得不排列成狭长的队伍,从而遭到城上士兵的集中攻击,壕沟前躺满了伤兵。 Very Lees has not felt for such victory excited, he saw the Rome person who the bonfire that behind enemy army ignites and arrives at unceasingly, realized this will attack a city the fight becomes difficult, the first order that he will first think of will be: Let the reserve forces' under city and stone with the wood/blockhead also dies of suffocation the east gate thoroughly. 忒利斯并没有为这样的战果感到兴奋,他看到了敌人军阵后方燃起的篝火和不断到来的罗马人,意识到这场攻城战斗将会变得更加的艰辛,他首先想到的第一个命令就是:让城下的预备队用木头和石块将东门也彻底堵死。 ............................................. ……………………………………… In Rome, applied for the Theonia citizenship Rome civilians and peripheral city area formed the sharp contrast to the square enthusiastically because of the Rome aristocrat who the family member escorted away to wail bitterly, during the entire city's people were extreme in the ice and fire two are moving restlessly...... 在罗马,到广场踊跃申请戴奥尼亚公民身份的罗马平民和周边城区因亲人被押走而哭天喊地的罗马贵族形成了鲜明的对比,整座城市的民众在冰与火两个极端之中躁动着…… Davos returns to council, expected that moment peace, who knows Rome chief executive Asistes hurriedly looks. 戴弗斯回到元老院里,奢望片刻的安宁,谁知罗马行政长官亚西斯特斯又急匆匆的找来。 „Your majesty, since you worshipped Rome these temples, the Rome person who comes the square registration rapidly increases, the population of now registering has been over thousand people!” Asistes excited is reporting this good news to Davos, because this means that the Rome civilians had the further transformation to Theonia in the attitude. “陛下,自从你去祭拜了罗马的那些神庙之后,前来广场报名的罗马人急剧增加,现在登记的人数已经超过了千人！”亚西斯特斯兴奋的向戴弗斯汇报着这一好消息,因为这意味着罗马平民对戴奥尼亚在态度上有了进一步的转变。 Davos is smiling the reply: „I, when had seen after the square, this is a good deed not!” 戴弗斯微笑着回答:“我在经过广场的时候已经看到了,这是一件好事不是吗！” „Your majesty, but the matter I have to ask for instructions to you.” Asistes continues saying: „Some Rome people inquired, outside their family member's in city Rome armies, they want to make their family members also the Theonia citizen, rather than slaughters with us, hopes that can make them go out of town to persuade, asked that we are good?” “陛下,但是有一件事我不得不向你请示。”亚西斯特斯继续说道:“有一些罗马民众询问,他们的亲人在城外的罗马大军之中,他们想让他们的亲人也成为戴奥尼亚公民,而不是同我们厮杀,希望能够让他们出城去劝说,问我们行不行？” „?......” Davos then had the interest, he is caressing the lower jaw, pondered a while, turns head to ask: „Does Croteau, how you see?” “哦？……”戴弗斯这下有了兴趣,他抚着下颌,思考了一会儿,扭头问道:“克洛托,你怎么看？” Stands in nearby Crotokatax immediately the earnest reply: „Father, from the situation in two days square, we should believe they said that allowing them to go out of town, persuading their family members to pledge allegiance to the kingdom, this can vacillate the fighting spirit of enemy, tempered their strengths, simultaneously strengthened our strengths! Even if their some people are deceiving us, but wants to escape to go out of town, but they are the old person, woman and child, generally speaking is still the advantage outweighs the shortcoming......” 侍立在一旁的克洛托卡塔克斯随即认真的回答道:“父亲,从这两天广场上的情况来看,我们应该相信他们所说的,允许他们出城去,劝说他们的亲人归顺王国,这样可以动摇敌人的斗志,削弱他们的力量,同时增强我们的力量！就算他们有部分人是在欺骗我们,只是想要逃出城去,但他们都是老人、妇女和孩子,总的来说也是利大于弊……” Asistes looks to Crotokatax, when Thurii he arrives at the Davos mansion to be a guest many times, the one's own eldest son who often can see the king, Crotokatax is humble, the treating people enthusiasm, made very good impression on him, but these meets time, Asistes actually discovered that he became calm. 亚西斯特斯看向克洛托卡塔克斯,在图里伊时他多次到戴弗斯府邸做客,不时可以见到国王的这个亲生大儿子,克洛托卡塔克斯谦逊有礼,待人热情,给他留下了很好的印象,但这一次见面,亚西斯特斯却发现他变得沉稳了许多。 Davos nods, saying of applause: „Croteau said right, I allow them to go out of town, but cannot all go out, in the whole family only then the old person can go out, the woman and child must stay in the city...... also to have, I comply to give the Camillus gift also to send to taking this opportunity together.” 戴弗斯点了点头,赞许的说道:“克洛托说得没错,我允许他们出城,不过不能全出去,一家人中只有老人能出去,女人和孩子必须留在城中……还有,我答应送给卡米卢斯的礼物也借此机会一块儿送去吧。” At this point, on his face appears a secretive happy expression. 说到这里,他脸上浮现出一丝诡秘的笑意。
