在持续一段时间的轰击之后,提图斯再派上第二波经过一段时间休息的士兵继续攻城,而戴奥尼亚守军却一直在忙于抵御进攻和躲避石弹,身心持续消耗,随着时间的推移,反而是罗马人在体力和精力上逐渐开始与守军持平。In addition, Romepersonwhenattacking a cityalsoplace that lets the garrison troopsheadache, theirheavy infantriesundercitybesidesclimbing up the soldier of scaling ladder, others have not been idling, protects itselfwith the longshield, whileactuallyprojects the javelinto the top.
此外,罗马人在攻城时还有一个让守军头痛的地方,他们的重步兵在城下除了攀爬云梯的士兵之外,其他人也没闲着,一边用长盾防护自己,一边却向城头投射标枪。Withheavy infantryjavelin throw- thisis the tactic of Theoniaregimentsoldier, CamillusafterVolsciandTheonianfight, detected the fierceplace of thistactic, startsto try the usein the fightwithHernicans, andobtainedsomevictories. But before theseappearstime, CamillusandTitusdiscussedhow when to attack the Ostiadalcity, mentionedagainwhenattacking a cityutilizesthistactic, althoughRomeheavy infantrynotlikeTheoniaregimentsoldiersafterlong-termtraining, javelin thrownot onlyaccuratepowerful, but also the richtacticchanged, but the Ostiadal not highcity wallactuallyincreased the lethality of Romesoldierjavelin throw, but the Romearmywas far more thantopgarrison troopsheavy infantriesbecomeswith the javelinsuppressestop the key of Theoniagarrison troops.
用重步兵投掷标枪-这本是戴奥尼亚军团士兵的战术,卡米卢斯在沃尔西与戴奥尼亚人交手之后,察觉了这种战术的厉害之处,就开始在与赫尔尼基人的战斗中尝试着使用,并取得了一些战果。而这一次出现前,卡米卢斯与提图斯商量如何进攻奥斯提亚城时,再次提到在攻城时运用这种战术,虽然罗马的重步兵不象戴奥尼亚军团士兵经过长期的训练,投掷标枪不但精准有力、而且富有战术变化,但是奥斯提亚不高的城墙却增加了罗马士兵投掷标枪的杀伤力,而罗马军队远多于城头守军的重步兵人数更是成为用标枪压制城头的戴奥尼亚守军的关键。
A Romeattacking a citysoldierwave of retreat, anotherwavedensefiercely attacks, like the turbulenttidecontinuousimpact, the Theoniagarrison troopscasualtiesincreases, the defenseeffortdrops, have made the enemyattack the topseveraltimes.罗马攻城士兵一波退去,又一波黑压压的猛攻上来,如同汹涌的潮水持续不断的冲击,戴奥尼亚守军伤亡人数增多,防御力度下降,已经几次让敌人攻上了城头。VeryLeeshas tosend the reserve forces, the new force but who inexperiencedhehas not formedthesetemporarilybreaks up, splitsin the topgarrison troops, is prepared the soldierto directby the regiment, insteadletstheirto becomeDuichengteamreplaces the topvacancy the position, the effort of resultdefensenot onlyhas not obtained very bigenhancement, insteadhadmanyconfusions.
忒利斯不得不派上预备队,但缺乏经验的他没有将这些临时组建的生力军拆散,分置在城头守军之中,由军团预备士兵来指挥,反而让他们成队成队的去顶替城头空缺的位置,结果防御的力度不但没得到很大的增强,反而出现了不少的混乱。„General, looksquickly! The wallcollapsed!!”Accompanypoints at the frontto startto cheer.
“将军,快看!墙塌了!!”随从们指着前方开始欢呼。Titusis also hardto suppresswild with joy in heart.
提图斯也难以抑制心中的狂喜。Severaldays ago, the city wall in Ostiadaljustexperienced the baptism of Theoniacrossbowartillery, althoughafterrestoration, butmerelyseveraldays of time, being insufficientmakesitfullyrestore, thenencounters the multiple attacks of Romecrossbowartilleryagain, finally a city wallexudes the wailsound, collapses.
几天前,奥斯提亚的城墙才刚刚经历了戴奥尼亚弩炮的洗礼,虽然经过修缮,但仅仅几天时间,不足以让它完全恢复,接着再次遭到罗马弩炮的多次攻击,终于一段城墙发出哀鸣声,倒塌下来。Withcalling out in alarm of bothsoldiers, after dust and fogdissipation, revealed an opening.
伴随着双方士兵的惊呼,尘雾消散之后露出了一个豁口。Titusseesthissituation, howto let off the good opportunity of brokencity, immediatelyordered: „Crossbowartillerystopsshelling, the armypressesto attackimmediately!”
提图斯见此情形,怎会放过破城的良机,当即下令:“弩炮停止轰击,全军立即压上进攻!”Said that is the armypresses, actuallyfull powerparticipates in the attacktruly, only then the Romecitizensoldier, long distance march , to continue to engage in fierce battleafter allduring the daytimeat night, although the middlehas had the rest of intermittence, butallsoldiersareextremelytired, in additiondoes not attend to the storm of casualties, lets the Latinallied countryarmy and Etruscanallied countryarmycomplains constantly, theirgeneralhave lodged the protesttoTitusrepeatedly, hissoldierhas startedto battlenegatively, only thenthisalsoremainsless than5000people of Romecolonycitizensoldiersin„to recapturemother-state”under the support of faith, under the restraint of strict discipline, the collapse of Ostiadalcity wallalsogavethem the hope of success. Inresonantbuglesoundtheysend outto angrily roar, launchedfiercely attackingto the Ostiadalcityagain.
说是全军压上,其实真正全力参与进攻的只有罗马公民兵,毕竟白天长途行军,夜晚持续鏖战,虽然中间有过间歇的休息,但所有士兵已经是极度疲乏,再加上不顾伤亡的强攻,让拉丁盟邦军队和伊特鲁里亚盟邦军队叫苦不迭,他们的将领已经多次向提图斯提抗议,其士兵已经开始消极作战,只有这还剩不到5000人的罗马殖民地公民兵在“夺回母邦”信念的支撑下,在严明纪律的约束下,奥斯提亚城墙的倒塌也给了他们成功的希望,在嘹亮的军号声中他们发出怒吼,再次向奥斯提亚城发起了猛攻。

The discretion of Giorgrishas an effect, on the waypilot vesselanddrawingfine, buton, the express steamer that prepares the Romecityto notifybumps into the submersion, a pilot vesselcannotcontrol the gooddirectioninriversanxiousbay, hit the reefto submerge......吉奥格里斯的谨慎起了作用,在途中有一条领航船与拉纤而上、准备到罗马城报信的快船相撞沉没,一艘领航船在河流急湾处没能控制好方向,撞上了礁石而沉没……Alltroop carriersanyhad not actually been obstructedgreatly, was close to the Tibermouthsafely, but the soldiers on shipby the scene of distant placeshorewere shocked: At this timequicknight, but the skylightpresently, the waning moonhad not hungin the horizon, the weatheris still jet black, besttime that peoplesleep soundly, however the Ostiadalcitydirectionactuallyflamesoars to the heavens, war criesheavenshaking......
所有的运兵船却未受任何大碍,平安的接近了台伯河口,但船上的士兵都被远处岸边的景象所震惊:此时已快过深夜,但天光还未现,残月仍挂在天边,天色依旧漆黑,正是人们酣睡的最佳时候,然而奥斯提亚城方向却火光冲天,杀声震天……
Has the Ostiadalcitydowncast?! Giorgris and team of officersat all levels, the soldiershavesimilarfearing, had the direction of distant placeflameandharborlighthouse, foralsodoes not bring to the attention of enemy, GioGenisorderedimmediately: „Extinguishes the flares on allships!”
难道奥斯提亚城已经陷落?!无论是吉奥格里斯、各级队官、还是士兵们心里都有着类似的担忧,有了远处火光和港口灯塔的指引,同时也为了不引起敌人的注意,吉奥格尼斯立即下令:“熄灭所有船上的火把!”Quick, the harborpatrol boatcomes outto greet, afterknowingOstiadalhas not downcast, the fleetsailed toitsharborrapidly.
很快,港口的巡逻船就出来迎接,在得知奥斯提亚并未陷落之后,船队迅速的驶进了它的港口。Travels by boatafterShangmatou, Giorgrisfirstcomes ashore, heactuallysaw the person who surprisedly the innumerablesailorsdress upgathersin the same place, is starting the clothingarmor, the arrival of fifthregimentsoldierreceivedtheirwarmwelcome.
坐船靠上码头之后,吉奥格里斯抢先上岸,他却惊奇的看到无数水手打扮的人集合在一起,正在开始穿戴盔甲,第五军团士兵的到来受到了他们的热烈欢迎。Giorgrisinquired, knew: When the Romearmystartsto attack a cityfrom the dusk, had not stood still, theypiles of fire the cityexternal combustionas the illumination, facilitate the Romesoldierto attack.

在这些第三舰队水手的帮助下,第五军团五个大队的士兵全部迅速上岸,在吉奥格里斯的带领下,快速的向城区赶去。At this moment, the fronttransmitscalls out in alarm: „It is not good!! The wallcollapses!!......”
就在这时,前方传来惊呼:“不好啦!!墙塌啦!!……”Giorgrisonestartled, the tactical situationis urgent, heorderedimmediately: „Armyrapid advance!”吉奥格里斯一惊,战况紧急,他当即下令:“全军急速前进!”.......................................
…………………………………Strugglecontinually, adds on the city wallcollapseto make the soldiermorale of troops of topfluctuateagain, at this time the Romepersonseized the chanceto startwas bigger than muchattacks the beforehandscale.
连番的苦战、再加上城墙倒塌已经让城头的士兵军心浮动,这时罗马人趁机发动了比之前的规模还要大得多的进攻。
The denseRomesoldierhas not bridged over the trench, some liberate slaves in tophas never seen the sobigmomentum, unexpectedlyturn tail.
黑压压的罗马士兵还未跨过壕沟,城头的一些解放奴隶从未见过如此大的声势,竟然转身逃跑。VeryLeesquicklyleads the guardto cometo stop, anddecisivecuttingkills the slave who takes the leadto escapewith the stablemorale of troops. Howeveroneli (0.5 km)longcity wall, hecan attend tothishead, cannot attend tothathead, withapproaching of enemy, the confusion in top, not onlyhas not subsided, insteadis increasing.
忒利斯急忙率领卫队前来阻拦,并果断的斩杀带头逃跑的奴隶以稳定军心。但是一里多长的城墙,他顾得了这头,顾不了那头,随着敌人的逼近,城头的混乱不但没有平息,反而在加大。Lees of verybeing thrown into confusiondid not even have the timedistributionarmyto block the gap, in the endalsolost the confidencehe himself......
手忙脚乱的忒利斯甚至没有时间分派部队去堵住缺口,到最后连他自己也失去了信心……Whenhevacant, preparationgives up, „!......”Incityresounds the buglesound that hewas familiar with, is the uniformsongsings the sound: „GreatHades, youare the patron in kingdom, nightcontrol, fairstrictincarnation!......”
就在他茫然无措、准备放弃的时候,“呜!……”城内响起了他熟悉的军号声,紧接着是整齐划一的颂唱声:“伟大的哈迪斯啊,你是王国的保护神,黑夜的主宰,公正严明的化身!……”AlsowithoutveryLeesreacts, the regimentpreparationsoldiers in tophas startedto shout loudly: „Ourreinforcementsarrived!! Ourreinforcements!!!......”
还没等忒利斯作出反应,城头的军团预备士兵们就已经开始高呼:“我们的援军到了!!我们的援军到啦!!!……”Sees only( oncityforsoldierbattlesundershine of cityinternal heatlight, veryLeeslearned/studied the Romepersonalsoto ignitefire of high-piled firewoodincity), a blacklong lineis advancing by rushesto the cityalong the streetfast.
只见在城内火光的映照下(为了方便士兵上城作战,忒利斯学习罗马人在城内也燃起了火堆),一条黑色的长龙正沿着街道快速向城下急进。
The appearance of frontlinebigsoldieris clear, heis wearing the thickdog skin, a regimentflagwas lifted up highbyhimin the hand, the idolbrightflash of peak.
最前方高大士兵的面目已经清晰可辨,他身披着厚实的狗皮,一杆军团大旗被他高擎在手中,顶端的神像熠熠闪光。„The fifthregiment! Is the fifthregiment!!......”Has the soldier of being sharp-eyedto shout loudlyloudly.
“第五军团!是第五军团!!……”有眼尖的士兵大声高呼。
The Ostiadalcitycould be saved! The regimentprepared the soldierto have the confidence, the flurriedOstiadalreserve forcessoldieralsoran awaygradually, veryLeesalsocalmed down.
奥斯提亚城有救了!军团预备士兵有了信心,原本慌乱的奥斯提亚预备队士兵也渐渐逃窜,忒利斯也定下心来。Titus outside cityalsoheardthisbuglesoundandrecites the sound, hehas not thoughtfrom the startthisisfrom the reinforcements of enemy, but alsothinks that isTheoniageneralinspires the soldier, to defendwiththesefull power, after alljudgedwithhisexperience,inthisspecialtimepointwill not have the enemyreinforcementsto arrive, thereforehealsofrowns, low voicewhisper: „Bythis time, Theonianalsohadsuchmorale! Just as, the army of thiskingdom the dictatorshipofficersaidtrulydoes not allowto look down upon!”
城外的提图斯也听到了这军号声和吟唱声,他压根就没想到这是发自敌人的援军,还以为是戴奥尼亚将领用这些来鼓舞士兵、全力防御,毕竟以他的经验来判断,这个特殊的时间点上是不会有敌人援军到来的,所以他还皱起眉头,小声嘀咕:“到这个时候了,戴奥尼亚人还有这样的士气!正像独裁官所说的,这个王国的军队确实不容小视!”Butat this timein the citysomepeopleshouted loudly: „VerySirLeesin?! VerySirLees!......”
而这时城内有人高喊:“忒利斯大人在吗?!忒利斯大人!……”VeryLeesholds the embattlement, visitsdownward: Sees only the youngteamofficer of blackhelmetblackarmorandtop of the headredcapstringalong the citylower part of wallwalkswhileshouted.
忒利斯扶着城垛,向下探望:只见一名黑盔黑甲、头顶红色帽缨的年轻队官正沿着城墙根边走边喊。„IamveryLees!”Herespondsimmediately.
“我就是忒利斯!”他立刻做出回应。Thatteamofficerquicklysalutes, said: „Iam the fifthlegatusGiorgrisadjutant, legatusmakemetellyou, hewill lead the armyto block the gap, makingyouconcentrate on the defenseincity, will soon haveon the reinforcements that the thirdfleetsailorcomposes the cityto reinforceyou!”
那名队官急忙行礼,说道:“我是第五军团长吉奥格里斯的副官,军团长让我告诉你,他将率部队堵住缺口,让你专注于城上的防御,很快会有第三舰队水手组成的援军上城增援你!”Indiscussedafter the fifthregimentadjutants, veryLeesurged the teamofficers in topto lead the soldierto return to the respectivedefensewallsection, andarrangedmorelight infantrieswhen the above of gap, andstartedto arrangeenoughpitch, because before Giorgrispreparation , the fourthregimentattacked the Romecity the pain of sufferingreturnedto the Romeperson.
在和第五军团副官商议之后,忒利斯督促城头的队官们带领士兵回到各自的防御墙段,并在缺口的上方布置了更多的轻步兵,并开始筹备足够的柏油,因为吉奥格里斯准备将之前第四军团攻打罗马城时所遭受到的痛苦返还给罗马人。Titus'sdistantseeingunder the city of flameeverywhere, the heroicRomesoldierbraved the arrowrainto crash in the city wallopeningunceasingly, thismadehimfeelexcited, thinks that victory is in sight.
提图斯远远的看见在火光漫天的城下,英勇的罗马士兵冒着箭雨不断的冲进了城墙豁口,这让他感到兴奋,认为胜利在望。Whoknowsshortly , the entiregapactuallystopped upcompletely the Romesoldier, wentto eavesdrop on the subordinate who newscame backto report: „Ingaphas the Theoniaarmyto obstruct, the soldiersare unable to break throughtheirdefensestemporarily!”
谁知没多久,整个缺口却堵满了罗马士兵,前去探听消息的手下回来报告:“缺口内有戴奥尼亚军队阻截,士兵们暂时无法突破他们的防御!”Butinthis time, the messenger who Camillussent outalsorushed tooutside the Ostiadalcityexactly,( becauseinnight, messengerdoes not dareto graze a horserunning quickly, thereforefellonbehind of fleet) toproposingTusreported: „Theoniansent outseveral thousandsoldiersfrom the Romecity, travelling by boatriversideunder!”
而恰在此时,卡米卢斯派出的信使也赶到了奥斯提亚城外,(因为在黑夜中,信使不敢放马奔驰,所以落在了船队的后面)向提议图斯报告:“戴奥尼亚人从罗马城派出了几千士兵,正坐船沿河而下!”Titussuch aswas hit hard, butin the heartalsoharbors a bit of fantasy, heordered the armydrumto play, buglelong cryat the same time, todrive the soldierto attackfiercely. At the same timesendsto rush tounder the city, pays close attention to the change of war. Meanwhile, but alsocalled backin the Etruscanallied armies that rear the attackteamrubs gently, letstheminrearformation, topreparemishap.
提图斯如遭重击,但心中还抱有一丝幻想,他一边下令军鼓奏响、军号长鸣,以激励士兵勇猛进攻。一面又派手下赶至城下,密切关注战局的变化。同时,还叫回了在进攻队伍最后面磨蹭的伊特鲁里亚盟军,让他们在后方列阵,以备不测。
