LNMTL needs user funding to survive Read More

In a while, the range that person's shadows enter in camp Muzha to insert the flare are shining upon, they are wearing the frail clothes, mostly does not have the armor to protect, grasps the javelin or the bow and arrow, fords to come...... toward the camp to look sketchily has over a hundred people fully, and has the enemy to enter in the flame unceasingly. 没过多久,一个个人影进入了营地木栅上插着的火把所映照的范围,他们身穿着单薄的衣服,大多都没有盔甲防护,手持标枪或弓箭,向着营地涉水而来……粗略一看就足有上百人,而且还不断有敌人进入火光之中。 Rachele Heath does not dare to neglect, immediately sends the soldier to hurry to the notice the army big tent/account. 拉凯莱西斯不敢怠慢,立刻派士兵赶去通知中军大帐。 Alexius has not slept soundly, after obtaining the news that the enemy raids, immediately sends out two light infantry brigades to go to reinforce. 阿莱克西斯根本就没有熟睡,得到敌袭的消息后,立刻派出两个轻步兵大队前去增援。 When they gather rushes to south the camp the time, Rachele Heath is leading under him the division soldier to protect itself with the long shield, then somewhat difficult counterattacks with the javelin, on the long shields of many soldier is inserting several javelins. 等到他们集合起来赶到营地南面的时候,拉凯莱西斯正带着他麾下的这支分队士兵用长盾防护着自己,然后有些困难的用标枪还击,不少士兵的长盾上都插着好几个标枪。 Because the time is extremely tight, the army has not unearthed the trench and construction dirt wall with enough time, a simple paling can only play the role of stop, is unable to give the altitude that the regiment the soldiers defends, after Samnites approaches in a camp 20 meters range, both sides launch the intermediate-range attack, the regiment soldiers lost the advantage of defense, on the contrary Samnites are many, instead suppressed Rachele Heath with the javelin they, the following Samnium bowman seized the chance the rocket launching to the camp. 由于时间太过仓促,军队没来得及挖掘壕沟、建造土墙,一层简单的木栅只能起到阻拦的作用,无法给予军团士兵们防御的高度,所以当萨莫奈人逼近营地20米范围内、双方都进行中远程攻击之后,军团士兵们就失去了防御的优势,相反萨莫奈人凭借人多,反而用标枪压制住了拉凯莱西斯他们,后面的萨莫奈弓手趁机向营地内发射火箭。 According to " Theonian Military Law » stipulation, „field operation camp constructs according to requirement, the tent area must be away from the fence over 20 meters.” Like this not only can guarantee when the soldiers defend passes through smoothly, and can avoid easily long-distance being attacked by the enemy. 按照《戴奥尼亚军法》的规定,“野战营地建设依照要求,帐篷区要距离围墙20米以上。”这样既可以保证士兵们防御时顺利通行,又可以避免轻易就被敌人远程攻击到。 Because considering that the camp has not constructed the wall rampart, Alexius also increases to 30 meters the tent the distance of area and Muzha, but the Samnium bowman is away from the paling is too near, the rocket of launch lit several tents, causing the camp to have some confusions unavoidably, the soldiers has to crawl the fire fighting. 由于考虑到营地未建墙垒,阿莱克西斯还将帐篷区与木栅的距离增加到30米,但是萨莫奈弓手距离木栅太近,发射的火箭还是点燃了好几顶帐篷,导致营地难免出现了一些混乱,士兵们不得不爬起来救火。 After 2000 Theonia light infantries rush, changed the situation quickly, Samnites led dozens casualties clansmen to retreat backward, but they have not been far away, but around the Theonia camp, exuded the strange howling, once for a while with the javelin sneak attack sentry, or the rocket launching to the camp, stirred in the camp not to be peaceful throughout entire evening. 2000名戴奥尼亚轻步兵赶到后,很快改变了局势,萨莫奈人带着几十个死伤的族人向后撤退了,但他们并未远离,而是绕着戴奥尼亚营地,发出怪异的吼叫声,时不时用标枪偷袭哨兵,或者向营地内发射火箭,整个晚上搅得营地内不得安宁。 May to next morning, without a trace that they vanish. 可到了第二天一早,他们都消失的无影无踪。 The regiment soldiers were tossed about an evening, many people do not have the rest to be good, in view of this, Alexius issues the order: The army soldiers continue to build the camp, must before the dusk, unearth the good trench, builds up the solid dirt wall, sets up several sentry post buildings...... various chiefs to arrange the rest of soldiers again simultaneously reasonably, safeguards them to have the abundant energy. 军团士兵们被折腾了一晚,很多人没有休息好,鉴于此,阿莱克西斯下达命令:全军士兵继续修筑营地,务必在黄昏之前,挖掘好壕沟,建起结实的土墙,再多立起几座哨楼……同时各大队长要合理安排好士兵们的休息,保障好他们有充沛的精力。 Regarding this, adjutant you Mathesius has the doubts: „Commander Sir, why don't we attack Aquilonia immediately? Here delays for day, will consume day of grain ration, will make a native of Aquilonia have the time to prepare defense, increases difficulty that we attack......” 对此,副官攸马特修斯有疑惑:“指挥官大人,我们为什么不立刻去进攻阿奎罗尼亚呢？在这里多耽搁一天,就会多消耗一天的口粮,而且还会让阿奎罗尼亚人有时间做好防御的准备,增加我们进攻的困难……” „Even if makes Aquilonia many one day prepare, perhaps will not have the too tremendous effect on our attacks.” Alexius looks into the Ofanto River opposite shore boundless mountain ridge, in the look is glittering the profound ray: Compares the hasty attack, I cared that the condition of soldiers, they come from the Apulia area, although has had the training of mountain ridge combat in the military compound, but has never had at the experience that in the mountain ridge lives, they require time to go to the rapid adaptation, maintains their physical strength and energy, with the aim of dealing with then possibly the difficult fight of bitter experience. ” “就算让阿奎罗尼亚多一天准备,对我们的进攻恐怕也不会有太大的影响。”阿莱克西斯眺望着奥凡托河对岸苍茫的山岭,眼神中闪烁着深邃的光芒:相比较仓促的进攻,我更关心士兵们的状态,他们都来自阿普利亚地区,虽然在军营中有过山岭作战的训练,但却从未有过在山岭中生活的经验,他们需要一点时间去迅速适应,保持好他们的体力和精力,以便应付接下来可能遭遇的艰苦战斗。” „Difficult fight......” you Mathesius is pondering over this meaning unclear words carefully. “艰苦战斗……”攸马特修斯细细琢磨着这句含义不明的话。 By dusk, with the joint efforts of more than 6000 soldiers, in the camp surrounding built up trench outside three meters high dirt wall and wall, therefore this late, although also has Samnites to make a harassing attack, but the threat to the camp almost can ignore, the soldiers rest quite calmly and steadily. 到了黄昏,在6000多名士兵的共同努力之下,在营地外围建起了三米高的土墙以及墙外的壕沟,于是这一晚尽管还有萨莫奈人来袭扰,但是对营地的威胁就几乎可以忽略不计了,士兵们睡得比较安稳。 After dawn, Alexius leaves behind 500 heavy infantries to guard the camp, leads 5500 soldiers as well as some auxiliary staff, carries five days of grain ration, crossed Ofanto River, sets out toward the Aquilonia city. 天亮之后,阿莱克西斯留下500名重步兵驻守营地,带着5500名士兵以及部分辅助人员,携带五天口粮,渡过奥凡托河,向着阿奎罗尼亚城进发。 Although in the lowland in mountain ridges marches, but this lowland is not low, moreover more walks toward north, the topography is higher. The soldiers climb mountains and cross rivers in the rugged mountain roads, raising the head to see the long and narrow blue sky that was separated by the two sides mountain ridge. 虽然是在山岭间的低地行军,但这个低地并不低,而且越往北走,地势越高。士兵们在崎岖的山路间跋涉,抬头能看见的就是被两边山岭割裂出来的狭长的蓝天。 In order to prevent or sneak attacks by the Samnites ambush, Alexius all scatters the 100 soldiers of mountain ridge detection squad, on the both sides mountain ridges in opposite directions the line with the large unit, scouters the surrounding unusuality simultaneously. 为了防止被萨莫奈人埋伏或偷袭,阿莱克西斯将山岭侦查小队的100名士兵全部撒出去,在两侧的山岭上与大部队相向而行,同时侦察周围的异常。 Except that 1500 heavy infantries have not worn the armor, but is shouldering beyond the advance, other soldiers are fully-armed( naturally on them not to have multiple protections), even so, the distance has not arrived at half, most people started to huff and puff. 除了1500名重步兵未穿盔甲,而是背负着前进之外,其他士兵都全副武装(当然他们身上本就没有多重的防护),即使是这样,路程还未到一半,大多数人就开始呼哧带喘了。 Is good not no one passes through because of this mountain road, on the contrary in the ordinary day a native of Aquilonia also takes this road to fish, take a bath, draws water frequently and herds to the river bend the cattle......, therefore, on the mountain road almost does not have the headachy thorn clump, to press the rock block of foot everywhere. 好在这条山路并不是没人走过,相反平日里阿奎罗尼亚人也经常走这条路到河湾地去打鱼、洗澡、汲水、放牧牛羊……因此,山路上几乎没有令人头痛的荆棘丛、满地硌脚的岩石块。 Although had arrived in June, the temperature has started to rise, but marches in the mountainous area, not only does not feel very hot, more proceeds, instead is more cool. But regarding lives since childhood Apulia down country Peuceti and Dauni soldier, marching of this section of mountain road makes them feel suffering hardship: The high and low and curving mountain road makes them have to cautious walk, unusual consumption physical strength ; But the bites and trees of weeds mosquito blows unceasingly rubs quickly makes them feel that the whole body pruritus...... the soldiers started to have the complaint. 虽然已经到了6月,气温已经开始升高,但在山区里行军,不但不觉得很热,越往前走,反而越凉爽。但对于从小生活在阿普利亚平原地带的普切蒂和道尼士兵来说,这一段山路的行军让他们感到是在受罪:高高低低、弯弯曲曲的山路让他们不得不小心翼翼的行走,非常的消耗体力;而蚊虫的叮咬、树木野草的不断刮蹭很快又让他们感到浑身瘙痒……士兵们开始有了抱怨声。 Rachele Heath in very dedicated vanguard, in his heart is actually suppressing a fire, his regiment in making a harassing attack at night the day before yesterday native of Nye , Satsuma died five people, injured 12 people, several tents were burnt down...... him to rebuke oneself, thinks that was calls the reinforcements late, caused like this bad result. Before Asculum and Venosa's twice fights, the Theonia army easily obtained to win, making him have an misconception: Samnites is very easy to cope. 拉凯莱西斯却在很专注的前行,他的心中憋着一股火,在前天晚上萨摩奈人的袭扰中他的连队死亡五人、受伤12人,还有几顶帐篷被焚毁……他一直在自责,认为是自己叫援军晚了,才导致这样的糟糕结果。之前在阿斯库鲁姆和维诺萨的两次战斗中,戴奥尼亚军队轻易就获得大胜,使他产生了一种错觉:萨莫奈人很容易对付。 But in the night before last attack, the heavy javelin that Samnites threw is ruthless, when the long shield was hit by the upfront, often can create the penetration, this was the soldiers casualty primary cause, although Alexius has not criticized him, but he himself decided secretly: Must take over Aquilonia, revenges for the casualty brothers! 但在前晚的袭击中,萨莫奈人投掷的重标枪又狠又准,当长盾被正面击中时,不时能造成穿透,这是士兵们死伤的主要原因,虽然阿莱克西斯并未批评他,但他自己暗下决心:一定要攻下阿奎罗尼亚,为死伤的兄弟们报仇！ Therefore, he inflates to the soldiers all the way unceasingly, encourages their refueling vanguard, even saw that some soldiers fall behind tired, he will also help the opposite party shoulder the armor on own initiative. 所以,一路上他不断的给士兵们打气,鼓励他们加油前行,甚至看到有的士兵劳累而掉队,他还会主动帮对方背负盔甲。 Aquilonia from the Theonia newly-built camp is about ten li (0.5 km), but the Theonia army climbed mountains and crossed rivers for nearly four hours, finally went out of the long and narrow lowland, enters to not a big half ring-like mountain valley: Has a mountain to be short in the east side mountain ridge . Moreover the appearance of the mountain gradient of western North Korea is gentle, is different from other trees lush and green and luxuriant mountain ridges, on the hillside the trees are few, actually some houses scatter in the ravine, but can also see leisurely and carefree grazing of dozens bellwethers on the mountain. 阿奎罗尼亚距离戴奥尼亚新建营地不过十里,但戴奥尼亚军队跋涉了近四个小时,才终于走出了狭长的低地,进入到一个不大的半环形山谷:在东侧的山岭中有一座山较矮,而且朝西的山势坡度平缓,和其他树木茂盛、郁郁葱葱的山岭不同,山坡上树木很少,却有一些房屋散落在山间,还可以见到几十头羊在山上悠闲的吃草。 Has the soldier of being sharp-eyed to look into the distance upwardly, can see the summit indistinctly the wooden wall, that is Aquilon Narnia city, the mountain ridge that although it is at compares other mountain ridges to be shorter, is not very steep, but that is also several hundred meters high! The soldiers light/only look at this altitude, has firing in bursts being afraid/painful at heart, must attack a city not to mention. 有眼尖的士兵向上眺望,能够隐约看到山顶的木墙,那就是阿奎隆尼亚城,虽然它所在的山岭相较其它山岭要矮一些,不够陡峭,但那也有几百米高啊！士兵们光是看着这高度,心里就有点发憷,更别提还要攻城。 Alexius first looks into the mountain ridge that Aquilon Narnia city was at some little time, then careful observation this mountain valley. 阿莱克西斯先是眺望了阿奎隆尼亚城所在的山岭好一会儿,接着又仔细的观察这个山谷。 The engineer told him: The mountain valley ground is mixing with stone Li, but is soft. 工程师过来告诉他:山谷的地面夹杂着石砾,但还算松软。 „That builds the camp.” Alexius said one lightly. “那就筑营吧。”阿莱克西斯淡淡的说了一句。 But transmission of order army, the sighing woefully sound of soldiers continuously. 可命令传达到全军,士兵们的哀叹声此起彼伏。 However before building camp, the soldiers must first eat food the dry rations, takes a rest slightly, to supplement that marches the physical strength of consumption, then under the team officers' order, the helpless taking up tool, starts to turn the sod. 不过在修筑营地之前,士兵们先要进食完干粮,稍作休息,以补充行军消耗的体力,然后才在队官们的命令下,无奈的拿起工具,开始挖地。 At this time, rushing that the mountain ridge detection squad teams leader panted to Alexius in front of: „Commander Sir, our detection soldiers sees several thousand Samnites on the mountain ridge from the west to here fast racing to come!” 这时,山岭侦查小队队长气喘吁吁的奔到阿莱克西斯面前:“指挥官大人,我们的侦查士兵在山岭上看到有几千萨莫奈人从西面向这里快速奔来！” Alexius hears this news, not only has not felt shocking, instead appears somewhat feels relaxed, his unhurriedly asking: „Some specific how many people? From here far?” 阿莱克西斯听到这个消息,不但没有感到震惊,反而显得有些释然,他不慌不忙的问道:“具体有多少人？距离这里有多远？” „Because of the camouflage of mountain ridge, is unable to see clearly the complete picture of enemy team, it is estimated that...... will not be lower than 5000 people, I come time, they at least are away from here to be three li (0.5 km).” Investigates the team leader to estimate, replied. “因为山岭的遮蔽,无法看清敌人队伍的全貌,估计……不会低于5000人,我过来的时候,他们至少距离这里有三里地。”侦查队长估算着,回答道。 Alexius turns around to look at western Mukaiyamadani: There mountain ridge not only relatively low and drawn out, is easy to surmount, but also has one in the mountain ridges to lead to the west mountain road. 阿莱克西斯转身看向山谷的西面:那里的山岭不但相对低缓,较易翻越,而且同样在山岭之间有一条通向西面的山路。 „Commander Sir!” Adjutant you Mathesius reminded: „The reinforcements of Aquilon Narnia person, if rushes, we both sides by the enemy, should withdraw the camp immediately, avoids combats in the mountain ridge and equal number of the Samnites!” “指挥官大人！”副官攸马特修斯提醒道:“阿奎隆尼亚人的援军要是赶到,我们将两面受敌,应该立即撤回营地,避免在山岭中与同等数量的萨莫奈人作战！” „Samnites also really hid an army in the mountainous area, tempts us to swallow the bait!” Alexius revealed one to sneer, said to own adjutant: „you Mathesius, you know that I they have been communicating with Xanticles, Pohlert, Guernut for serveral days for what?” “萨莫奈人还真的在山区里藏了一支军队,来引诱我们上钩！”阿莱克西斯露出了一丝冷笑,对自己的副官说道:“攸马特修斯,你知道我这些天一直在跟赞提帕里斯、波勒特、盖尔尼他们通信是为了什么？” In the you Mathesius brain the miraculous glow flashes, calls out in alarm: „-” 攸马特修斯脑中灵光一闪,惊呼:“难道-” „Immediately informs the soldiers to stop building the camp, wears the armor, with good weapon, prepare for battle!” “立刻去通知士兵们停止筑营,穿上盔甲,拿好武器,准备战斗！” ............................................. ……………………………………… In fact, the Samnium allied armies give up making a harassing attack to Dauni area, then attacking the approach of Campania union, not only to evade the assault is weak , to continue to increase the trouble to Theonia, is several clan and tribe big leader sincere realizing of: Cannot fight with the Theonia army on the plain again, even if makes a harassing attack merely, but should use Samnites advantage, in mountain ridge and its combat. 实际上,萨莫奈联军放弃对道尼地区的袭扰、转而进攻坎帕尼亚同盟的做法不只是为了避强击弱,给戴奥尼亚持续增加麻烦,同时也是几位部族大首领深切的意识到:不能再在平原上同戴奥尼亚军队战斗了,哪怕仅仅只是袭扰,而是应该利用萨莫奈人本身的优势,在山岭中与其作战。 However, the Theonia army is discrete, not Xiangshan District has marched. Therefore, they after the discussion, decided that makes the allied armies mount a large-scale attack Campania, but also wants to achieve another goal: Creates „the Samnium main force in the Dauni Theonia army in Campania, in the mountainous area defends void” the misconception, luring the Theonia army to enter the mountainous area. 但是,戴奥尼亚军队非常谨慎,一直不向山区进军。所以,他们在商议之后,决定让联军大举进攻坎帕尼亚,还想达成另一个目的:给在道尼的戴奥尼亚军队造成“萨莫奈主力在坎帕尼亚,山区内防御空虚”的错觉,诱使戴奥尼亚军队进入山区。
