Originally, Carthage council, although made let Brother Ma hold the post of the decision that the Sicily army commanded, but the senior statesmen headed by Hanno(Hannonian) actually on the grounds of the Carthage citizen's casualties serious in the previous fight, the rejection went to battle with Sicily by the Carthage local organization army again, but was the suggestion mainly leads not to suffer the Iberia army of casualties to go to battle by Magon. 原来,迦太基元老院虽然做出了让马哥担任西西里军队统帅的决定,但是以汉诺为首的元老们却以迦太基公民在上一次的战斗中伤亡惨重为由,拒绝再由迦太基本土组织军队出征西西里,而是建议主要由玛哥率领未遭受伤亡的伊比利亚军队出征。 Senior statesmen headed by Prestat Kubba will certainly not agree that this proposition, they strongly appealed that „request further investigated responsibility for an offense of previous disaster”, while the allied country envoy of help from Sicily island, in the city indulged in unbridled propaganda that now in the Sicily Phoenicia and Carthaginians pitiful bitter experience, attempts to stir up Carthage citizen the heart of sharing a common hatred, promoting council through „to organize the army, goes to battle with Sicily the proposition by Carthage this city again”. 以普雷塔库巴为首的元老们当然不会同意这个提议,他们一边强烈呼吁“要求进一步追究上一次战争失败的罪责”,一边帮助来自西西里岛的盟邦使者,在城内大肆宣扬如今在西西里的腓尼基和迦太基人的悲惨遭遇,企图煽动迦太基公民的同仇敌忾之心,推动元老院通过“由迦太基本城再次组织军队、出征西西里”的提议。 Day-by-day sneaking off of time in dispute of both sides, in Iberia southern Magon, although anxiously at heart, but on the grounds of „is convening army” turned down council to urge the request that he dispatches troops to immediately, exhausted the Iberia military power after all alone, making Hanno(Hannonian) its hope, this is present Magon unacceptable. 时间在双方的争执中一天一天的溜走,远在伊比利亚南部的玛哥虽然急在心里,但还是以“正在召集部队”为由婉拒了元老院催促他立刻出兵的要求,毕竟单独消耗伊比利亚的军事实力,让汉诺得其所愿,这是现在的玛哥所不能接受的。 ............................................. ……………………………………… Falls into the war in the Italian Peninsula and Sicily, had an important matter in Greece. 在意大利半岛、西西里陷入战争之际,在希腊本土也发生了一件大事。 Sparta Wang Ke Leo Mbu Rotouss leads the set good Sparta allied armies finally, bridges over the Corinth isthmus, entered Greece, convenes Sparta to garrison in various places of this area, prepares to conquer Thebes again, remoulds authority of Sparta in Greece. 斯巴达王克利奥姆布罗图斯终于率领集合好的斯巴达盟军,跨过科林斯地峡,进入了中希腊,召集斯巴达在这一地区的各处驻军,准备再一次征服底比斯,重塑斯巴达在中希腊的权威。 But when this process, guarded safe Spis Sparta general Ford Ryaas, because before , Thebes has the riot has not sent out the army to go to assist promptly to suppress, the fear encounters the accusation of Sparta new king, stemming from the psychology that the merit makes reparations, stemming from wanting to obtain the ambition that the glory and same Pharacidas contend, he made a plan- night assault compares Piraeus. 但在这过程中,原本驻守泰斯皮亚的斯巴达将领斯弗德利亚斯因为之前底比斯发生暴乱时没有及时派出军队前去协助镇压,害怕遭到斯巴达新王的指责,出于将功赎罪的心理,也出于想要获得荣耀、同菲比达斯一较高下的野心,他制定了一个计划-夜袭比雷埃夫斯港。 He thinks: Through capturing Athens the business heavily, not only can make up discards the loss of Thebes, even can win for him does not lose in the Pharacidas glory( although many Greek city-state despise in secret, but the Sparta citizen still thinks until now Pharacidas sneak attacks Thebes to go well is huge merit). 他认为:通过夺取雅典的这个商贸重地,不光是可以弥补丢掉底比斯的损失,甚至可以为他赢得不输于菲比达斯的荣耀(尽管很多希腊城邦暗中鄙视,但斯巴达公民至今仍然认为菲比达斯偷袭底比斯得手是巨大的功绩)。 Because the messenger of Sparta new king in catching up on road, Ford Ryaas makes a more careful plan without enough time, led the army the same day night, in the southeastern direction went forward compared with Piraeus, the army that but he led was not ripe to the terrain, he looked down upon this distance was difficult to be good the degree, finally has not arrived compared with Piraeus, the day has shone. 由于斯巴达新王的信使已经在赶来的路上,斯弗德利亚斯来不及做更仔细的策划,就率领部队在当天夜晚出发,向着东南方向的比雷埃夫斯港前进,但他所率的部队对地形不熟,他又小视了这段路程的难行程度,结果还未抵达比雷埃夫斯港,天就已经亮了。 Harbor Athenians discovered their trail, mobilizes, to prepare to defend immediately urgently. 港口的雅典人发现了他们的踪迹,立刻紧急动员,准备防御。 Ford Ryaas sees the sneak attack failure, has to return along the way. In retreating, to be venting, the army devastated the passing through Athens territory. 斯弗德利亚斯见偷袭失败,只好沿途返回。在撤退的时候,为了解气,军队蹂躏了途经的雅典领地。 This provocation act with no reason at all, provoked the Athenians enormous anger immediately. 这样无缘无故的挑衅行径,顿时激起了雅典人极大的愤怒。 Sparta once sent the envoy to accuse the Athens two generals to participate in the Thebes riot, Athens to prove own pureness, executed these two acting presumptuously generals. But this Sparta envoy has not actually left, but continues to stay in Athens, declared that carries out the order of Spartan’s Gerousia , to continue to supervise Athens in the following some time performance. 斯巴达曾经派遣使者指责雅典的两位将军参与了底比斯的暴乱,雅典为了证明自己的清白,处决了这两位擅自行动的将军。但这位斯巴达使者却并未离开,而是继续呆在雅典,宣称是执行斯巴达长老议事会的命令,继续监督雅典在接下来一段时间的表现。 Now, angry Athenians catches immediately this Sparta envoy, angry interrogation: Why Sparta dispatches the military invasion Athens territory for no reason, grabs the Athens people?! 现在,愤怒的雅典人立刻将这位斯巴达使者抓起来,愤怒的质问:斯巴达为何无故派遣军队入侵雅典领地,劫掠雅典民众？！ Just is the Athenians anger felt that the bewildered Sparta envoy knew in the morning matter that has after Piraeus, in the heart criticizes Ford Ryaas's bold, he argued immediately loudly: This grabbing action is the stupid action that this Sparta general independently decides, with the Sparta government irrelevant! 正为雅典人的愤怒感到莫名其妙的斯巴达使者得知早上在比雷埃夫斯所发生的事情后,心中暗骂斯弗德利亚斯的胆大包天,他当即大声辩解:这次的劫掠行动是这位斯巴达将领自作主张的愚蠢行动,跟斯巴达政府无关！ And, he said firmly: Spartan’s Gerousia will try Ford Ryaas rapidly, gives a Athens fair confession. 并且,他坚定的表示:斯巴达长老议事会将会迅速审判斯弗德利亚斯,给予雅典一个公正的交代。 The Sparta messenger's argument cannot return to normal completely the Athenians anger. 斯巴达使者的辩解并不能完全平复雅典人的愤怒。 Leader Thrasybulus of Athens political arena died in battle several years ago, however Athens of outstanding people and magical soil the democrats named Callistratus emerges, he is not only an orator, but also is a very able political figure, for successive several years was elected is Athens Ten strategoi, he convinced the Athens people that the pent-up anger had not disappeared, reminded them: If Athens has not prepared for with Sparta makes war, then best believe that the Sparta envoy said. 雅典政坛的领袖人物色拉西布洛斯在几年前战死,但是人杰地灵的雅典紧接着又有一位叫卡利斯特拉图斯的民主派人士脱颖而出,他不但是位演说家,而且是一位很有能力的政治人物,连续几年都当选为雅典十将军,他说服了余怒未消的雅典民众,提醒他们:如果雅典没有做好与斯巴达开战准备的话,那么最好相信斯巴达使者所说的话。 Although the Athens citizens are angry, but they also know the Sparta military power the great strength, therefore agrees to release the Sparta envoy finally. 雅典公民们尽管愤怒,但他们也知道斯巴达军事力量的强大,所以最终同意释放斯巴达使者。 The Sparta envoy rushes to the Sparta Wang Ke Leo Mbu Rotouss's station immediately, reported to him just in the protest of matter as well as Athenians of Piraeus. 斯巴达使者立即赶到斯巴达王克利奥姆布罗图斯的驻地,向他汇报了刚刚在比雷埃夫斯发生的事情以及雅典人的抗议。 Corio Mbu Rotouss then knows the foolish matter that Daws Ford Ryaas does, in a blaze of passion, immediately sends for its arrest, returns to Sparta. 克利奥姆布罗图斯这才知道斯弗德利亚斯干的蠢事,盛怒之下,立即派人将其逮捕,送回斯巴达。 While Ford Ryaas was escorted back under guard Sparta, the envoy who Athens sends out rolled also arrived at Sparta, this forced Spartan’s Gerousia and public prosecutors has to speed up not obeying the command, to provoke Athens the trial of general to this arbitrarily. 就在斯弗德利亚斯被押回斯巴达的同时,雅典派出的使者团也到达了斯巴达,这迫使斯巴达长老议事会和检察官们不得不加快对这位不听从号令、擅自挑衅雅典的将领的审判。 Ford Ryaas seems to be doomed, but his son and Agesilaus son Arch Dahms relates closely, therefore requested to help to Arch Dahms urgently. 斯弗德利亚斯似乎在劫难逃,但他的儿子与阿格西劳斯的儿子阿奇达姆斯关系密切,于是紧急向阿奇达姆斯请求帮助。 Arch Dahms without hesitation for own good friend, asked favor to the father. 阿奇达姆斯毫不犹豫的为了自己的挚友,向父亲求情。 Agesilaus has not made the commitment. 阿格西劳斯并未作出承诺。 However in the process of interrogation, Agesilaus spoke for Ford Ryaas. 但是在审讯的过程中,阿格西劳斯为斯弗德利亚斯说话了。 He said: „Ford Ryaas is without doubt guilty, but we impossible to execute a good person. The young age and youth, the grown time, this heroic Sparta citizen is living the dignified life, what is diligent is Sparta contributes own strength, Sparta is needing soldier like this!......” 他说:“斯弗德利亚斯无疑是有罪的,但我们不可能将一个好人处死。无论是孩提时代、青年时代、还是成年时代,这位英勇的斯巴达公民都过着体面的生活,勤勤恳恳的为斯巴达贡献着自己的力量,斯巴达需要这样的战士！……” Present Agesilaus has the prestige in Sparta, his speech makes some neutrals in elder powwow choose to support Ford Ryaas to be innocent, but some elders thought should not punish this Sparta general. 如今的阿格西劳斯在斯巴达极具威望,他的发言使得长老议事会中的一些中立者选择支持斯弗德利亚斯无罪,而原本就有一些长老觉得不应该处罚这位斯巴达将领。 They think: The Thebes riot harmed Sparta in the Greek prestige, needs with the war revives the prestige the time, if Sparta punishes own general in this time, not only will dampen the Sparta citizen positive enterprising fighting spirit, the approach of but also slapping one's own face will make other city-state despise Sparta. 他们认为:底比斯的暴乱损害了斯巴达在希腊本土的威望,正是需要用战争来重振威望的时候,如果斯巴达在此时处罚自己的将领,不但会挫伤斯巴达公民积极进取的斗志,而且自打嘴巴的做法更会让其他城邦看低斯巴达。 Finally, the elder powwow adopts „Ford Ryaas was innocent” the resolution by the majority vote, but has the public prosecutors itself/Ben of decision-making power from the Sparta citizen, they are younger and are more radical, naturally also approved this resolution. 最终,长老议事会以多数票通过了“斯弗德利亚斯无罪”的决议,而拥有决定权的检察官们本就是选自斯巴达公民,他们更年轻、更激进,当然也认同了这个决议。 After the waiting for Athens citizens know the ruling of Sparta, shock: Initially facing the accusation of Sparta, Athenians executed own two general! Now, facing the accusation of Athens, Sparta actually easily sentences the troublemaker to be innocent! 正翘首以盼的雅典公民们得知斯巴达的判决之后,震惊了:当初面对斯巴达的指责,雅典人处决了自己的两位将领！如今,面对雅典的指责,斯巴达却轻易的判肇事者无罪！ Sparta person despotic arrogant enraged the Athens citizen thoroughly, they strongly request the Athens government to Sparta retaliate. 斯巴达人的专横傲慢彻底激怒了雅典公民,他们强烈要求雅典政府必须对斯巴达进行报复。 The Sparta approach came as a surprise to General Athens, since the king peace treaty has signed, headed by Callistratus, Yaris Dotter Rice generals considering Sparta in Greek tyrannical, what therefore adopts is the policy of neutrality of watching changes quietly. However, they have not been idling, but continuation let Athens and Thrace, Aegean Sea and Asia Minor coastal numerous city-state established the alliance relationship, before the economics and trade cooperation on frequent exchange and diplomacy caused in fact the Athens present strength to surpass the Corinth war . 斯巴达的做法出乎了雅典将军们的意料,自从大王和约签订以来,以卡利斯特拉图斯、亚里士多特莱斯为首的将军们鉴于斯巴达在希腊本土的强横,所以采取的是静观其变的中立政策。但是,他们并没有闲着,而是继续让雅典与色雷斯、爱琴海、小亚细亚沿岸众多城邦建立了同盟关系,经贸的频繁往来、外交上的互助导致实际上雅典现在的实力已经超过了科林斯战争之前。 But now the anger of citizens makes Athens want the approach that continues to conceal one's abilities and bide one's time is not impossible to continue again, although this is not Callistratus desired, however the firm support of overwhelming majority citizens on ecclesia declares war to Sparta, Athens finally successfully adopts this resolution. 但现在公民们的怒火让雅典想要继续韬光养晦的做法不可能再持续下去,尽管这不是卡利斯特拉图斯所希望看到的,但是在公民大会上绝大部分公民们的坚决支持对斯巴达宣战,雅典最终顺利通过这个决议。 Declaring war of Athens shocked Greek city-state, not only makes Thebes people feel to dance with joy, lets prepare to attack Thebes Sparta Wang Ke Leo Mbu Rotouss to feel uncomfortable, he feared, when attacks Thebes full power, the Athens army from east side, therefore in attacking the military action of Thebes becomes hesitant. 雅典的宣战震惊了希腊本土的城邦,不但让底比斯人感到欢欣鼓舞,也让正准备进攻底比斯的斯巴达王克利奥姆布罗图斯感到难受,他怕在全力进攻底比斯的时候,雅典的军队又从东面袭来,因此在进攻底比斯的军事行动中变得犹犹豫豫起来。 .......................................... …………………………………… Camillus leads the army to leave outside the Rome city decisively, marches to the west, attacks Ostiadal. 卡米卢斯果断率领大军离开罗马城外,向西行军,进攻奥斯提亚。 Davos cannot certainly make the plan of opponent work, he has to successively send out the first regiment, the fourth regiment, the sixth regiment and part's fifth regiment soldier, or takes the freighter of chamber of commerce, to rush to the Ostiadal harbor, either marches to arrive at Hekou along north bank of Tiber, goes to the south bank Ostiadal city from the warship ferry again. Hence, in the Ostiadal city gathered approximately 35000 soldiers( including reserve forces who very Lees forms temporarily) to come full power the defense already less than attacking a city of 60,000 people of Rome armies. 戴弗斯当然不能让对手的计划得逞,他不得不先后派出了第一军团、第四军团、第六军团和部分第五军团士兵,或乘坐商会的货船、赶到奥斯提亚港口,或沿着台伯河北岸行军来到河口,再由战船摆渡到南岸的奥斯提亚城。至此,奥斯提亚城内聚集了约35000名士兵(包括忒利斯临时组建的预备队)来全力防御已经不足六万人的罗马军队的攻城。 Because Davos must assume Rome, he can only appoint Amintas is temporary of Ostiadal defends the commander, after he considers repeatedly, thinks: Operational experience rich . Moreover the qualifications old Amintas can make other legatus obey the direction, and can definitely defend this small town. 由于戴弗斯还要坐镇罗马,他只能任命阿明塔斯为奥斯提亚的临时防御指挥官,他反复思虑之后,认为:作战经验丰富、而且资格又老的阿明塔斯可以让其他的军团长听从指挥,并且也完全可以守住这座小城。 However, to prevent him is hotheaded, the Davos strict order he „can only defend a city and cannot go out of town the combat!” 不过,为防止他头脑发热,戴弗斯严令他“只能守城、不得出城作战！” In addition, Davos also appoints Crotokatax that fights in Ostiadal is Amintas staff officer along, on is to make him follow outwardly the Amintas learn/study military, actually gave him secretly a written order, once Amintas acts presumptuously, Crotokatax can put out the written order, replaces the Amintas duty, is changed to be the commander by Olivos. 此外,戴弗斯还任命在奥斯提亚战斗的克洛托卡塔克斯为阿明塔斯的随身参谋,明面上是让他跟着阿明塔斯学习军事,暗地里却给了他一张手令,一旦阿明塔斯擅自行动,克洛托卡塔克斯就可以拿出手令,撤换阿明塔斯的职务,改由奥利弗斯担任指挥官。 This is the Crotokatax first acting heavy responsibility, he received the duty joyfully, thus also enabled Davos to serve another purpose: Made the son be far away from the battlefield ingeniously, protected his safety. 这可是克洛托卡塔克斯第一次担当重任,他欣然的接受了任务,从而也使戴弗斯达到了另一个目的:巧妙的让儿子远离了战场,保护了他的安全。
