This speeds up the soldiers repeatedly the speed, almost 60-year-old Xanticles, even if riding a horse, still felt that a little cannot endure. 这使得士兵们一再加快速度,已经快60岁的赞提帕里斯即使骑着马,也感到有点吃不消。 After entering the mountain road, even again urgent, Xanticles still has to make the army slow down the approaching speed, to prevent to be ambushed by the enemy. 进入山道之后,即使再紧急,赞提帕里斯也不得不让部队减缓行进速度,以防止遭到敌人伏击。 But at this moment, the soldiers noticed that the distant place flame soars to the heavens. 而就在这时,士兵们看到远处火光冲天。 The mounted scout who sends hurries back to the report rapidly: The Caudini person has retreated, and burnt down the entire Bapaniah small town. 派出去的侦骑急速赶回汇报:卡乌蒂尼人已经撤退,并且焚烧了整个巴帕尼亚小镇。 When Xanticles commands the army to rush, this by the flaming flame is covered in the lively small town that the mountain valleys establishes, but is placing three headless corpses in the town open area, side also inserted a wooden sign, above uses the person blood to write one line of Greek: In my hand has 134 Theonian, trades with captured Samnium soldier, otherwise these corpses are their fates! 等赞提帕里斯率军赶到时,这座在山谷间建立的繁华小镇已经被熊熊的火焰笼罩,而在镇子南面的空地上摆放着三具无头的尸体,旁边还插了一个木牌,上面用人血写着一行希腊文:我手中有134名戴奥尼亚人,拿被俘虏的萨莫奈战士来换,否则这几具尸体就是他们的下场！ The soldiers see this sad scene, is angry all, the request pursues the enemy in abundance, rescues the captured people. 士兵们见此惨象,无不感到愤怒,纷纷要求去追击敌人,救回被俘虏的民众。 Old Xanticles such as the soldiers will not be certainly impulsive, he makes the soldiers restrain these three corpses, and in same place formation, waits for the return of mounted scout. 年迈的赞提帕里斯当然不会如士兵们那么冲动,他只是让士兵们收敛起这三具尸体,并且在原地列阵,等待侦骑的回报。 Quick, the news that feeds in verified his speculation: The front mountain road both sides mountain ridges seem the ambusher, but the exit of path has Caudini soldier formation to wait. 很快,传回的消息印证了他的猜测:前方山道两侧的山岭似有伏兵,而道路的出口处有卡乌蒂尼战士列阵以待。 Xanticles without hesitation commands the army to return, he knows: Between Nakko Narnia and Theonia the long-time peace had been broken, the war has raided to the recruit of kingdom, he not only need gather as soon as possible the preparation regiment, defends Nona, but must inform the military affairs section as soon as possible, making him deploy more armies or gives itself bigger leading power, otherwise light/only depends on more than 4000 recruits, to deal with the following war, perhaps is beset with difficulties. 赞提帕里斯毫不犹豫的率军回返,他知道:纳科尼亚与戴奥尼亚之间长久的和平已被打破,战争已经向王国的西北边境袭来,他不但要尽快集合预备军团,守住埃诺纳,而且还要尽快通知军务部,让其派遣更多的军队或者赋予自己更大的领军权力,否则光靠这4000多名新兵,要想应对接下来的战争,恐怕是困难重重。 ....................................... ………………………………… The Pompeii itself/Ben is a Greek small town, the population are not many, now the most resident becomes the captive, even if a native of Pompeii the old person and women took up on the weapon the top, was still hard to resist Brother Varney early deliberate fiercely attacking. 庞贝本就是一座希腊小城,人口不多,现在大半的居民又都成了俘虏,庞培人即使是老人和妇女都拿起武器上了城头,也难以抵御塞哥瓦尼早有预谋的猛攻。 Fights to afternoon, the city broken. 战至下午,城破。 The cheers of soldiers make Brother Varney feel happy, but he still did not feel satisfied, but also need many victories, before scrubs itself , the shame of suffering. 战士们的欢呼声让塞哥瓦尼顿感心情舒畅,但他仍然不感到满足,还需要更多的胜利,来洗刷自己之前所遭受的耻辱。 Therefore, he leaves behind some soldiers to guard , to continue to command the army along the coast to march forward to north, by the dusk, arrived only had 15 li (0.5 km) Herculaneum ( herculaneum ) from Pompeii. 于是,他留下部分战士驻守,继续率军沿着海岸向北行进,到了黄昏,抵达了距离庞贝只有15里的赫库兰尼姆(herculaneum)。 Herculaneum is situated in the Mount Vesuvius foot, similarly is a Greek seashore small town, but it is wealthier than Pompeii, because it close to the Naples bay, thus becomes a Naples prosperous seaborne commerce attached commercial harbor. 赫库兰尼姆坐落在维苏威火山的山脚,同样是一座希腊海滨小城,但它比庞贝更富裕,因为它靠近那不勒斯海湾,从而成为那不勒斯繁荣的海上贸易的一个附属贸易港。 But Herculaneum person has own pride, they think that the history of own cities is remote than Naples, because this is Titan Hercules establishes the cities( can see from his name). 但赫库兰尼姆人有自己的骄傲,他们认为自己城镇的历史比那不勒斯还要久远,因为这是赫拉克勒斯建立的城镇(从他的名字就可以看出)。 The Pompeii person who because has fled from calamity beforehand informed the news that the enemy attacked, Herculaneum person has prepared defense. 由于事先得到逃难来的庞贝人告知敌人来袭的消息,赫库兰尼姆人已经做好了防御的准备。 Brother Varney sees that has not ordered to attack a city again, but in camp. 塞哥瓦尼见状,没有再下令攻城,而是就地驻营。 Herculaneum's messenger has rushed to Naples to request reinforcements, but this time Naples is under the threat of Samnium allied armies throws from the northeast, originally also prepares to send out the Campania allied armies to repel the enemy, now hears some large numbers of enemies from south, likely encountered the Naples person of both sides converging attack reading of going to battle to think immediately certainly, also sent out the messenger to go by boat to go to Theonia to request reinforcements. 赫库兰尼姆的信使已经赶到了那不勒斯求援,但此时的那不勒斯正面临着从东北面扑来的萨莫奈联军的威胁,本来还准备派出坎帕尼亚联军击退来敌,如今听到又有大批敌人从南面袭来,很可能遭到两面夹击的那不勒斯人顿时绝了出战的念想,同时也派出信使乘船前往戴奥尼亚求援。 ( Note: In 79 A. D. after Mount Vesuvius erupted, was buried under the volcanic ash, not only Pompey, there is a Herculaneum, had not been excavated like Pompeii, it 75 cities is still also buried, overwhelming majority perfect.) (注:公元79年维苏威火山爆发后,被埋在火山灰下的不只是庞培,也有赫库兰尼姆,不像庞贝已经被发掘,它至今还有75的城镇仍然被掩埋,绝大部分完好无损。) .......................................... …………………………………… After Theonia obtained win of Ascoz Rome and Venosa one after another, Samnites was forced to return the mountain ridge completely, even the mountain ridge reconnaissance squad returned: Cannot see any Samnites trail in the rough terrain of Dauni area border. 在戴奥尼亚接连获得了阿斯库罗姆和维诺萨的大胜之后,萨莫奈人被迫全部退回了山岭,甚至山岭侦察小队回报:在道尼地区边境的丘陵地带也看不到任何萨莫奈人的踪迹。 Obviously was seriously battered the Samnium allied armies to eliminate plan that continued to harass the Dauni area. Kingdom of Theonia Dauni area commander Alexius has not actually made use to lead the army to attack the Samnium area. 显然遭受重创的萨莫奈联军打消了继续骚扰道尼地区的计划。戴奥尼亚王国道尼地区指挥官阿莱克西斯却没有趁势率领大军进攻萨莫奈地区。 On the one hand is because the serious reminder before Davos, „the absolute assurance, do not enter the Samnium mountainous area to battle with Samnites.” Several years ago, Alexius led the third regiment to fight with Samnites in the Lucania mountainous area, although beat one time, but also made him feel the Samnium soldier's might in mountainous region combat, let alone at that time in Potentia, if in the Samnium mountainous area, the terrain were not ripe, transportation difficulty, placed the enemy territory, without doubt bitter experience many troubles. 一方面是因为戴弗斯之前的郑重提醒,“没有绝对的把握,不要进入萨莫奈山区同萨莫奈人作战。”十几年前,阿莱克西斯就曾经率第三军团在卢卡尼亚山区里同萨莫奈人交手过,虽然小胜了一次,但也让他感到了萨莫奈战士在山地作战中的威力,何况当时是在波腾提亚,如果是在萨莫奈山区,地形不熟,运输困难,又身处敌境,无疑将会遭遇更多的麻烦。 The second aspect is the grain supply issue. Alexius gathered three regiments and one cavalry corps altogether about 30,000 people, soldiers its own grain ration had finished eating, the grain that the kingdom provides every day is not the small number. But now King Davos leads the army to expedite the Latin area, not much military provisions naturally must more inclines toward the expeditionary unit. 第二方面是粮食供给问题。阿莱克西斯手下聚集了三个军团、一个骑兵军团总共近3万人,士兵们自身携带的口粮已经吃完,王国每一天提供的粮食就不是小数目。而如今戴弗斯国王又率领大军远征拉丁姆地区,本就不多的军粮自然要更多的往远征部队倾斜。 The military affairs section has put forward the proposal to Alexius: In view of the fact that Samnites is seriously battered, had stopped the attack to Dauni area, hopes that he can dismiss some regiments, to reduce the supply of military provisions. 军务部已经向阿莱克西斯提出建议:鉴于萨莫奈人遭受重创,已经停止了对道尼地区的侵袭,希望他能够解散部分军团,以减轻军粮的供应。 In addition, couple days ago mysterious really Toome's chief executive also sent the letter to cause, to rush to Dauni, told a Alexius news: According to the pirate who coming the harbor trades the stolen goods disclosed, in the past escaped opposite of former Peuceti country prince Darka to Adriatic Sea is convening to escape Greek Peucetians, Messapians and Daunians in the Epirus area. 此外,前几天奥真图姆的行政长官还派来信使,赶到道尼,告诉了阿莱克西斯一个消息:根据来港口交易赃物的海盗透露,当年逃到亚得里亚海对面的前普切蒂国王子瓦达尔卡正在伊庇鲁斯地区招集逃亡到希腊本土的普切蒂人、梅萨皮人和道尼人。 Therefore, Alexius decided finally lets the ninth, tenth regiment and second cavalry corps returns to the respective area to dismiss, but each military compound as before as usual while retaining a brigade guards, they must send a brigade soldier to bring four days of grain ration in addition, the cavalry corps are send out 200 to ride, will arrive at the Ascoz Rome city of Dauni area in turn, Alexius will lead them to perform duties in this. 因此,阿莱克西斯最终决定让第九、第十军团以及第二骑兵军团返回各自地区解散,但各个军营依旧像往常一样在保留一个大队驻守的同时,他们还必须另派一个大队士兵自带四天口粮,骑兵军团则是派出200骑,轮流来到道尼地区的阿斯库罗姆城,阿莱克西斯将率领他们在此执勤。 But in the military compound of Dauni area, the 11 th regiment every two brigade soldiers brings the grain ration and four days in turn one time, is commanded by Kapus. 而在道尼地区的军营里,第11军团每两个大队士兵自带口粮、四天轮流一次,由卡普斯统帅。 The Dauni military compound in north, Asculum in south, in altogether has 4000 soldiers and 200 cavalries to stand guard the entire Dauni area and Samnium neighboring border in Dauni at the same time, supplements with the citizen in neighboring cities again, deals with the Samnites middle-and-small attack sufficiently. 道尼军营在北,阿斯库鲁姆在南,同一时间内共有4000名士兵、200名骑兵在道尼境内警戒着整个道尼地区与萨莫奈相邻的边境,再辅以邻近城镇的公民,足以应付萨莫奈人中小型的侵袭。 The remaining enemy who once the past years escaped from Apulia landed the other places of Apulia area, the garrison troops of other military compounds may first make the resistance, citizens who were in a high state of combat alertness under messenger's fast notice, gathered the military compound from various cities rapidly, the composition complete regiment, the thorough elimination enemy, the kingdom military provisions of such consumption were then few, basically safeguarded the security of this area. 而一旦当年逃出阿普利亚的残余敌人登陆阿普利亚地区的其他地点,其他军营的守军可先做抵御,然后枕戈待旦的公民们在传令兵的快速通知下,迅速从各城镇汇聚到军营,组成完整军团,再彻底消灭敌人,这样消耗的王国军粮很少,又基本保障了这一地区的安全。 Alexius dares to do this, taken advantage is the Apulia area is the plain, the topography is basically smooth, except for having the main road connection, in various cities also cultivates the smooth path, from the northern Lucera city to the south mysterious really Thum, marches fast, only takes more than one day to be getatable. As the matter stands, the regiment soldiers are quite relatively busy, throughout situated in rushing about, but regarding militant Messapi and Peucetians, having the weaponry to hit and have the merit to result and have the land separable is the rousing matter. 阿莱克西斯之所以敢这样做,依仗的就是阿普利亚地区是平原,地势基本平坦,除了有大道连通,各城镇之间也修有较平整的道路,从北部的卢塞尼亚城到南端的奥真图姆,快速行军,只需一天多就可到达。只是这样一来,军团士兵相对比较忙碌,始终处于奔波之中,但对于好战的梅萨皮、普切蒂人而言,有仗可打、有功绩可得、有土地可分才是令人兴奋的事。 ................................................ ………………………………………… The military affairs section in the King Davos multiple exchanges, has established the strategy of kingdom present stage in this war is: The north attack, the south defends. 军务部在同戴弗斯国王多次的交流中,已经确立了王国现阶段在这一次战争中的战略是:北面进攻,南面防御。 The army who Davos leads in the Latin area attack combat, Alexius is leading the army to cease all activities in the Dauni area, but situated in the south Sicily area, arranges in order mysterious to raise the army that Chieders leads actually not to flinch the defense, instead takes Sellin Nuse west Sicily as the base, attacks in all directions, grabs Mazzara , so that Saige Starck and other city-state outside all villages and small towns, receive to blow the commodity, to safeguard army sufficient food supply, achieves to disrupt Carthage in the order of Sicily rule area, creates the favorable conditions for the later combat the goal. 戴弗斯率领的大军正在拉丁姆地区进攻作战,阿莱克西斯所率部队在道尼地区已经偃旗息鼓,而位于更南面的西西里地区,列奥提奇德斯所率的部队却并未退缩防守,反而在西西里西端以塞林努斯为基地,四处出击,劫掠马扎拉、利利俾、塞格斯塔等城邦外的所有村庄和小镇,收刮物资,以保障军队充足的粮食供应,达到扰乱迦太基在西西里统治区的秩序,为以后的作战创造有利条件的目的。 What the row mysterious raises Chieders to adopt attacks the mode of operations of defense. 列奥提奇德斯采取的是进攻防御的作战方式。 But when Davos commands the army to land the Latin coast, the corpse that the Theonia third fleet senior official Follanyi Awes is drown to death in coast to Agrigentum had been discovered in reef of Heraclea Minoa, because the corpse has putrefied, arranged in order mysterious to raise Chieders to lead the army soldiers and fleet sailors held a solemn silence cremation funeral in Sellin Nuse city for him. 而就在戴弗斯率军登陆拉丁姆海岸的时候,戴奥尼亚第三舰队长官弗拉尼奥斯溺死的尸体已经在米诺亚至阿格利真托之间海岸的礁石中被发现,由于尸体已经腐化,列奥提奇德斯率领全军士兵和舰队水手在塞林努斯城内为他举行了一场庄严肃穆的火化葬礼。 An audience weeping sound piece. 全场哭声一片。 But the Sicily fleet commander-in-chief Sekrian trail has not discovered, arranged in order mysterious to raise Chieders once to judge perhaps Sekrian fell into the coast that Carthaginians controlled to be captured, when exchanged the captive with Carthaginians, he once proposed that received in exchange Sekrian with more captives. 但西西里舰队总指挥官塞克利安的踪迹至今仍未发现,列奥提奇德斯曾判断塞克利安恐怕是落入了迦太基人所控制的海岸而被俘虏,在与迦太基人交换俘虏之时,他曾提出用更多的俘虏来换回塞克利安。 Carthaginians has not replied. 迦太基人对此未作答复。 Because Davos signature „agreement is transferred to the fourth fleet goes to Sicily” the order not to arrive at the military affairs section, the original minute/share of fleet commands Stee Farkas to shoulder the heavy responsibility of direction entire Sicily fleet temporarily( actually the present Sicily fleet also only has dozens warships). 由于戴弗斯签署的“同意调任第四舰队前往西西里”的命令还未到达军务部,原分舰队统领斯特法卡斯暂时担负起指挥整个西西里舰队的重任(其实如今的西西里舰队也只剩下几十艘战船而已)。 The Theonia army's on land west the Sicily island wreaks havoc, lets the Carthage allied country and colonizing city complains constantly, they in abundance, so that requests reinforcements. 戴奥尼亚军队在西西里岛西部土地上肆虐,让迦太基的盟邦和殖民城叫苦不迭,他们纷纷向利利俾求援。 So that the army despondency in city, the military system is chaotic, Pommies Zarka only sought the self-preservation, where dares to go out of town to battle with the Theonia army. 利利俾城内的军队士气低落,军制混乱,波米尔卡只求自保,哪里敢出城去同戴奥尼亚军队作战。 Stationed in Pale Moss is led the Iberia army that to have Theonian that the ability drives out grabs everywhere by Hasdrubal the Fair, but Hasdrubal the Fair under Kiess reminder, chose standing by, because as the matter stands the allied country and colonizing city of tight squeeze have to send the envoy to Carthage this city to request reinforcements, lets still understand that in the quarrel continuous senior statesmen the Sicily military situation is urgent, hurries to make the decision. 驻扎在帕勒莫斯的由哈斯德鲁巴率领的伊比利亚军队原本有能力去驱除四处劫掠的戴奥尼亚人,但哈斯德鲁巴在基斯戈的提醒下,选择了作壁上观,因为这样一来处境困难的盟邦和殖民城才不得不派遣使者前往迦太基本城求援,让还在争吵不休的元老们了解到西西里军情紧急,赶紧作出决定。
