After Mil Tiyas walks, Leotychides says immediately: „Gelug, you army that hurries to inform to rescue hurries to the harbor immediately.” 米尔提亚斯走后,列奥提齐德斯立刻说道:“塔格鲁,你赶紧去通知要去救援的部队立刻赶去港口。” „Yes, commander Sir.” Gelug receives the order, has not carried out immediately, but is asking of some doubts: „Was Carthaginians too adventurous? They send out tens of thousands people of armies, passing through the transportation is inconvenient, the grain transport inconvenient mountainous area, is away from Sellin Nuse and Heraclea Minoa, wants to capture Agrigento, once our reinforcements rush, making their attempts fail, these tens of thousands Carthaginians probably do not even need us to attack, because the grain is unable to supply promptly, but rout......” “是,指挥官大人。”塔格鲁接到命令,并没有马上去执行,而是有些疑惑的问道:“迦太基人是不是太冒险了？他们派出几万人的军队,穿越交通不便、粮食运输不便的山区,隔着塞林努斯和米诺亚,想要攻下阿格里真托,一旦我们援军赶到,让他们的企图落空,这几万迦太基人甚至可能不需要我们出击,就会因为粮食无法及时供应而溃败……” „Yes, this Carthage commands Magon really to dare the adventure, it seems like he believes the ability of his army.” Leotychides looks to hanging the plank map on wall, in the eye is glittering none: „Therefore our reinforcement speeds are fast.” “是啊,这个迦太基统帅玛哥真是敢于冒险,看来他十分相信他军队的能力。”列奥提齐德斯看向挂在墙上的木板地图,眼中闪烁着精光:“所以我们的增援速度必须要快。” .......................................... …………………………………… Since the Theonia army seized Sellin Nuse, half of its harbor were rebuilt the crude naval port rapidly, not only enables the warship of Sicily fleet to anchor the supplies, but can also be pushed to come ashore, conducted the maintenance and repair...... to enable the fleet to have a standpoint of stable security west Sicily, went on patrol and attacks the western waters provide for it the convenience. 自从戴奥尼亚军队占领了塞林努斯之后,它港口的一半被迅速改建成简陋的军港,不但使得西西里舰队的战船能够停靠补给,而且可以被推上岸,进行维护修理……使得舰队在西西里西部有了一个稳定安全的立足点,为其巡逻和进攻西部海域提供了便利。 Now, the Sicily fleet more than 150 warships anchored in the wharf, from Heraclea Minoa, Agrigento, Gela, Camarina and Eck Noam and other south coast friendly city-state soldiers, as well as 1000 Theonia preparation regiment soldiers, a total of 6000 soldiers is boarding the warship in turn. 现在,西西里舰队150多艘战船都停靠在了码头上,来自米诺亚、阿格里真托、杰拉、卡曼利纳、埃克诺姆等南海岸友好城邦的士兵,以及1000名戴奥尼亚预备军团士兵,总共6000名士兵正在分批登上战船。 In order to sends this reinforcements to the Agrigento harbor one time, Mil Tiyas has not even made the fleet soldier board the crow warship, to make more warship spaces. 为了能够将这支援军一次性运送到阿格里真托港口,米尔提亚斯甚至没有让舰队士兵登上乌鸦战船,就是为了腾出更多的战船空间。 Regarding this, Sekrian opposes, he thinks: The entire fleet cannot be all used to send the soldier, at least needs to put out half of warships to take the guard, this is a navy commands to have the vigilance that. 对此,塞克利安表示反对,他认为:整个舰队不能全用来运送士兵,至少需要拿出一半的战船作为护卫,这是一名海军统领必须有的警惕。 But Mil Tiyas refuted: Only sets aside half of warships, that means that half of soldiers must conduct 2nd transporting, now the enemy intelligence is urgent, if Agrigento because of were broken through understrength, this responsibility who takes? After completing the military transports, the Sicily fleet must go to the western cruise, therefore cannot delay. 而米尔提亚斯则反驳:只腾出一半的战船,那就意味着有一半的士兵必须进行第二次运送,现在敌情紧急,万一阿格里真托因兵力不足被攻破,这个责任谁来负？而且在完成兵力运送之后,西西里舰队还必须前往西部巡航,因此耽搁不得。 both sides part on bad terms again. 双方再次不欢而散。 Sekrian boards the express steamer that leaves port earliest simply, coming to what the eyes don't see the heart isn't troubled about. 塞克利安干脆登上最早出港的快船,来个眼不见心不烦。 For time-saving, each warship, so long as installs to be fully laden with the soldier, immediately, when therefore Mil Tiyas mounts embarks finally the flagship that leaves the harbor, the entire fleet to east spreads 45 li (0.5 km), presents a curving sole straight line, because each ship packed with the soldier , the cruising speed is therefore slow. 为了节省时间,每一艘战船只要装载满士兵,就立即出发,因此当米尔提亚斯登上最后出发的旗舰、离开港口时,整个舰队向东蔓延四五里之多,呈现出一条弯弯曲曲的单一直线,由于每艘船都满载了士兵,也因此航行速度缓慢。 Mil Tiyas also a little worries, his worried look looks that in the deck lies down the full soldier, is estimating at such a rate from Sellin Nuse to the Agrigento time needed, waited to transport the conclusion perhaps already to afternoon, the fleet was impossible to go on patrol again. 米尔提亚斯对此也有点着急,他愁眉看着甲板上躺满的士兵,估算着以这样的速度从塞林努斯到阿格里真托所需要的时间,等运送结束恐怕已经到了下午,舰队根本不可能再去巡逻。 At this moment, he hopes can actually like Carthage army landing on that day, can have the quite strong northwest wind, such can let time big reduction of navigation. 此刻,他倒是希望能像迦太基大军登陆那天一样,能有比较强劲的西北风,那样就可以让航行的时间大大的缩短。 But when he thinks, in the top of the head suddenly resounds the screams of observation: „Attention! Attention! The southeast side has the enemy intelligence!!” 而就在他浮想联翩之际,头顶上突然响起瞭望手的惊呼声:“注意！注意！东南面有敌情！！” Mil Tiyas impressively one startled, immediately feels the doubts: The Carthage warship was destroyed, enemy intelligence where the southeast sea comes? 米尔提亚斯赫然一惊,随即又感到疑惑:迦太基的战船都被摧毁了,东南面的海上哪来的敌情？ When he in confusion, observation again anxious shouting on mast: „On express steamer raised two blue flags! Two blue flags!” 他正在困惑之时,桅杆上的瞭望手再次焦急的大喊:“快船上升起了两条蓝旗！两条蓝旗！” The blue flag means appears is not the Carthage warship, otherwise the express steamer first meets the raising yellow flag, but two blue flags mean what appears in the nearby is a fleet . Moreover the quantity and Sicily fleet is equivalent, no matter it whether has the hostility, posed the considerably large threat to the Sicily fleet. 蓝旗意味着出现的不是迦太基战船,否则快船第一时间会升起黄旗,但两条蓝旗意味着出现在附近的是一支舰队,而且数量和西西里舰队相当,不管它是否存在敌意,都对西西里舰队造成了相当大的威胁。 Mil Tiyas felt being flustered, he is digging up the broad side, diligently looks into the distance to the southeast, actually can only see several dot in distant place sea level indistinctly. 米尔提亚斯感到了心慌,他扒着船舷,努力的向东南方眺望,却只能隐约看见远处海面上的几个小点。 In four big fleets command, Mil Tiyas and Frat Rios do not have the independence to direct the experience of large-scale naval warfare. Mil Tiyas when South-Italian War is only a triremes captain, but after the 4 th fleet establishes, the military affairs section once provided the candidate who many fleets commanded to Davos, their qualifications, scores and ability differ not much, Davos is hard to choose for a while. Finally, he chose Mil Tiyas , because Mil Tiyas had held the post of Davos sits the captain of ship, Davos to some of his also impressions, this awards marks for him. 在四大舰队统领中,米尔提亚斯和弗拉里奥斯都没有独立指挥过大规模海战的经验。在南意战争时米尔提亚斯只是一名三层桨战船的舰长,而第四舰队建立之后,军务部曾经向戴弗斯提供了多个舰队统领的候选者,他们的资历、战绩、能力都相差不多,戴弗斯一时难以抉择。最终,他选择了米尔提亚斯,是因为米尔提亚斯曾经担任过的戴弗斯坐舰的舰长,戴弗斯对他还有些印象,这一条为他加了分。 After becoming the fourth fleet commands, Mil Tiyas most time are leading fleet cruise Adriatic Sea, fight against the pirate, the help army transport the military baggage, only so-called naval battle in Theonia conquers Messapi and Peuceti attacks Combined Fleet, because the opponent is extremely small and weak, almost without the spent many big strength, defeats it. 成为第四舰队统领之后,米尔提亚斯大多数时间都在率领舰队巡弋亚得里亚海,打击海盗,帮助陆军运送辎重,唯一一次所谓的海战就是在戴奥尼亚征服梅萨皮、普切蒂之时进攻梅普联合舰队,因为对手太过弱小,几乎没有费多大的力气,就将其击败。 Now Mil Tiyas may encounter the largest naval battle time, situation actually so complex: The opposite party is the enemy is a friend, is still unable to distinguish clearly, lets the decision that he is unable to issue to meet head-on suddenly ; Own fleet not only does not have the lineup, but also on each warship was fully laden with the soldier, causing the speed to reduce speed, weakened the ability of combat ; The entire fleet is located in Germer nearby sea level at this time, therefore retreats also has the difficulty, as a small town, the Germer narrow and small crude harbor is unable to hold the Sicily fleet. 现在米尔提亚斯可能会遭遇第一次大海战的时候,情况却是如此的复杂:对方是敌是友,尚无法分清,让他无法骤然下达迎战的决定;自己一方的舰队不但没有阵形,而且每一艘战船上都载满了士兵,导致航速减慢,也减弱了作战的能力;偏偏此时整个舰队正位于热尔梅附近的海面,因此撤退也存在困难,作为一个小镇,热尔梅狭小简陋的港口根本无法容纳西西里舰队。 In such a case, he somewhat is unavoidably flustered, he by himself was calmed down, then to issue the first order strongly: „Raises the flag of Apollo, sounds the bugle!” 在这样的情况下,他难免有些慌张,他竭力让自己冷静下来,然后下达了第一个命令:“升阿波罗之旗,吹响军号！” With sounding of bugle, the golden flag climbs to the mast top, flutters against the wind. 伴随着军号的吹响,金黄色的旗帜升至桅杆顶,迎风飘扬。 Hears the bugle sound in the flagship front warships, sees flag that flutters, transfers the bow in abundance, closes up toward Mil Tiyas's sitting ship. 在旗舰前方的战船们听到军号声,看到飘扬的旗帜,纷纷调转船头,向着米尔提亚斯的坐舰靠拢。 The flag indicator of Apollo flag is: Is centered on the flagship, closes up to it, the spacing of warship and warship reduces, is advantageous for the director and defense. 阿波罗旗的旗语就是:以旗舰为中心,向其靠拢,战船与战船的间距缩短,便于指挥和防御。 Mil Tiyas's this time idea is: Now the fleet full load soldier, does not help the combat, but his flagship position approaches Sellin Nuse, when all warships close up after him, if this strange fleet really launches the attack, then he can lead the fleet first to return Sellin Nuse. 米尔提亚斯此时的想法是:现在舰队满载士兵,不利于作战,而他旗舰所处的位置更靠近塞林努斯,当所有战船向他靠拢过来后,如果这支陌生的舰队真的发动进攻,那么他可以带领舰队先退回塞林努斯。 The Theonia fleet is too long in the distance in the sea level extending, particularly the frontline warship, hiss looks at the hand to look at the flag on not in the end side flagship, could not see that patrols in the signal that leaning on the rear express steamer makes, they can only see after the rear warship makes the tactical maneuvering, can make the corresponding change, but the transmission of this news at this important moment actually seems somewhat slow. 戴奥尼亚舰队在海面上延伸的距离太长,尤其是最前方的战船,嘹望手既看不到最后方旗舰上的旗帜,也看不到游弋在侧后方的快船上打出的信号,他们只能看到后方的战船做出战术机动之后,才能做出相应的改变,而这种消息的传递在此关键时刻却显得有些缓慢。 .......................................... …………………………………… The express steamer that Sekrian takes because walks earliest, had spread out with the entire fleet, because after he embarks, sits in a depressed state in the bow, the crew sees him to be sad, no one dares to go forward to disturb him, the entire ship is exceptionally peaceful. 塞克利安乘坐的快船因为走的最早,已经与整个舰队拉开了一点距离,由于他上船之后就闷坐在船头,船员们看出他心情不好,没人敢上前打扰他,整艘船异常安静。 At this time, his sudden facial expression congealed, touched the ear, to asks the captain who the one side waited and saw the sea condition: „Did you hear? Probably has the bugle sound.” 这时,他突然神情一凝,摸了摸耳朵,向在一旁观望海况的船长问道:“你听见了吗？好像有军号声。” Captain vacant shaking the head, also inclined the head and listened attentively especially some little time, then reply truthfully: „Sir, I have not heard.” 船长茫然的摇摇头,又特地侧耳倾听了好一会儿,然后如实的回答:“大人,我没有听到。” The words of captain have not made Sekrian relieved, he stood up, looked at the rear area, then raised the head to ask: „What does the following warship have to change?” 船长的话并没有让塞克利安安心,他站起身来,看了看后方,然后抬头问道:“后面的战船有什么异动？” After a while, the mast withstand/top hiss looks at the hand to reply: „They have no change.” 过了一会,桅杆顶的嘹望手回答:“它们没什么变化。” „Sir, perhaps was you misunderstands.” The captain said one. “大人,或许是您听错了。”船长说了一句。 Sekrian just likes has not heard, in his heart has an anxiety, perhaps this where he did not know Mil Tiyas lets the entire fleet full load soldier does not suppose the guard warship the time laid down, but now this feeling actually becomes intense. 塞克利安恍若未闻,他的心中有一种不安,或许这种不安在他得知米尔提亚斯让整支舰队满载士兵而不设护卫战船的时候就埋下了,但现在这种感觉却变得强烈起来。 He no longer hesitates, decisive saying: „Turns around to drive to have a look.” 他不再犹豫,果断的说道:“掉头驶回去看看。” The captain a little complained about him to be overly suspicious and fearful in the heart, but does not dare to oppose face to face, after all Sekrian was the hero who once nauarch and winner and crew worshipped, the prestige was too high. 船长在心中有点埋怨他疑神疑鬼,但没敢当面表示反对,毕竟塞克利安可是曾经的海军统帅、常胜将军和船员们崇拜的英雄,威望太高。 ............................................. ……………………………………… In the Theonia warship turns around toward return one after another, this fleet is also approaching to the Sicily fleet, had presented many small sunspots in Mil Tiyas's field of vision, making him feel fearful and apprehensive. 就在戴奥尼亚战船陆续掉头往回返时,这支舰队也在向西西里舰队逼近,在米尔提亚斯的视野里已经出现了很多个小黑点,让他感到心惊肉跳。 At this moment, he heard the mast to withstand/top calling out in alarm of observation: „Two yellow flags! Raised two yellow flags! Is an enemy! Is an enemy!!......” 就在这时,他听到了桅杆顶瞭望手的惊呼:“两条黄旗！升起了两条黄旗！是敌人！是敌人！！……” In Mil Tiyas heart final was crushed by luck, now other warships have not closed up completely, wanted to retreat Sellin Nuse is without enough time, in the process of waiting, he has the plan of preparation luckily: „Sounds the bugle again, making various warships approach shore in the nearest beach, puts down the soldier, returned to the combat again!” 米尔提亚斯心中最后的侥幸被粉碎,现在其他战船还未完全靠拢过来,想要撤退回塞林努斯是来不及了,幸好在等待的过程中,他已经有了预备的计划:“再吹响军号,让各艘战船在距离最近的海滩靠岸,放下士兵,再返回作战！” Naturally, the following these words are unable to express in the flag indicator, therefore his flagship must do a good job in cultivating the students, making other warships follow the example, therefore after issuing order, this flagship turns toward the coast to drive directly. 当然,后面的这些话语是无法用旗语来表达的,因此他的旗舰必须率先垂范,让其他战船有样学样,所以在下达完命令之后,这艘旗舰径直向着海岸驶去。 The fleet did not know in southeast the fleet patrols the Theonia express steamer of investigation actually to driving, but with continuing of opposite party warship approaches formation, launches, lowering and oar of ship's sail to start to accelerate slowly to skid, this is the standard fleet enters the pre-battle preparation process, naturally is the enemy without doubt. 在舰队东南侧游弋探查的戴奥尼亚快船其实对驶来的舰队并不认识,但是随着对方战船的持续逼近、阵型的缓慢展开、船帆的降下、船桨开始加速滑动,这可是标准的舰队进入战斗前的准备过程,当然是敌人无疑。 Originally, this fleet does not come from Carthage, but Phoenicia area from eastern Mediterranean. Since the storm destroyed the Carthage navy, Carthaginians completely lost the sea supremacy, the Theonia Sicily fleet ran amuck in the sea, is not only shutting off the relation of Carthage and Sicily full power, but also started to threaten the seaborne commerce of Carthage this city. When this critical, Carthage while stepping up to make the new warship, thought of own mother-state. 原来,这支舰队并非来自迦太基,而是来自东地中海的腓尼基地区。自从风暴摧毁了迦太基的海军,迦太基人完全失去了海上优势,戴奥尼亚西西里舰队在海上横行,不但在全力切断迦太基与西西里的联系,而且也开始威胁到了迦太基本城的海上贸易。在这生死攸关的时候,迦太基在加紧建造新战船的同时,也想到了自己的母邦。
