Sekrianis startled: „Can yougive upSellinNuse?!”塞克利安吃了一惊:“你要放弃塞林努斯?!”„SellinNusecitycannot certainlygive up, otherwise the Carthage100,000armiescanthroughhere, marchtoeastwith ease, butyoualsolostcanin the naval base that westSicilybased, the threatto the SicilyRiviera Di Ponentewill also reducegreatly.”Leotychidesrarepatientexplanation: „But, ourprincipal forcesstayinSellinNusecitythroughout, lettingCarthaginianscanfeel relieved that the attackwedefend the voidplaceboldly, this is also incorrect. Myplanisto leave behindseveral thousandsoldiersto defendSellinNusecity, Ileadto take the eighthregimentas more than 10,000soldiers of main force, goes by boatto go toGela, unites the army of ally, defeatsis attacking the AgrigentoCarthagearmy, cleansittomyTheonia the threat of territoryandourfriendlycity-state.”
“塞林努斯城当然不能放弃,否则迦太基的十万大军就可以轻松通过这里,向东进军了,而你们也失去了能在西西里西部立足的海军基地,对西西里西部海岸的威胁也会大减。”列奥提齐德斯难得耐心的解释道:“但是,我们的主力部队始终停留在塞林努斯城内,让迦太基人可以放心大胆的进攻我们防御空虚的地方,这也是不行的。我的计划是留下几千士兵防守塞林努斯城,我率领以第八军团为主力的一万多士兵,乘船前往杰拉,联合友邦的军队,击败正在进攻阿格里真托的迦太基军队,扫除其对我戴奥尼亚领地及我们友好城邦的威胁。”„Onlykeepsseveral thousandsoldiersto defendSellinNuse, candefend the attack of Carthagearmy?”Sekriansomewhatworried.
“只留几千士兵防御塞林努斯,就能守住迦太基大军的进攻?”塞克利安有些担忧。„These dayswehave been reinforcingcity garrison, defends for a month should not to have the issue, by that time the warwill perhaps have the change.”Leotychidestranquilsaying.
“这段时间我们一直在加固城防,守住一个多月应该没有问题,到那时战局或许就会出现变化。”列奥提齐德斯平静的说道。
After Sekrianhear, hesitatedsome little time, set firm resolve: „ Sinceyouhad decided that mustcarry outthisplan, as is also defends the Sicilyterritorysecurity the military power, ourSicilyfleetcanpromisetwomattersyou.塞克利安听完之后,沉吟了好一会儿,才下定了决心:“既然你已经决定要执行这个计划,作为同样是保卫西西里领地安全的军事力量,我们西西里舰队可以向你保证两件事。First, the garrison troops that ourfleetscango all-outto coordinateSellinNusedefendthiscity, for exampleintercepts the Carthageprovisions ship, sending out the fleetinfantryto make a harassing attack the rear area of Carthagearmy, evenwhenmost dangerous, sending out the fleetinfantryto assistyouto defend a city;Second, Icanguarantee, ifSellinNusewere broken throughbroken, ournavymaking best effortwill let the evacuation of remaininggarrison troopssecurity, returns toCatania. ”
第一,我们的舰队会尽全力配合塞林努斯的守军防守住这座城,比如拦截迦太基的运粮船,派出舰队步兵袭扰迦太基大军的后方,甚至在最危险的时候,派出舰队步兵协助你们守城;第二,我可以保证,如果塞林努斯被攻破破,我们海军会尽最大努力让残余的守军安全的撤离,回返卡塔尼亚。”Leotychidesrarechanging countenancea little, evensomesoundfluctuations: „Thanked!”列奥提齐德斯难得的有点动容,连声音都有些波动:“非常感谢!”„Mustthankme, hurriesattacking the AgrigentoCarthagearmydefeating.”Sekrianis holding up the headto reply.
“要感谢我,就赶紧把进攻阿格里真托的迦太基军队给击败吧。”塞克利安昂着头回答。Packed offSekrian, Leotychidesstandsin the hallentrancesendswill stay, Cruesaidinone sidewith a smile: „Said that SirSekrianis supercilious, is not goodto speak, butit seems likehisactuallyveryclearaffair.”
送走塞克利安,列奥提齐德斯站在大厅门口发了会呆,穆克鲁在一旁笑着说道:“都说塞克利安大人心高气傲,不好说话,但看来他其实很明白事理。”Leotychideshas not metthisthread of conversation, returns to the seatagain, takes up the mapto examine carefully.列奥提齐德斯没有接这个话茬,再次回到座位上,拿起地图细看。Cruelaughs in one's heart: ComparescelebritySekrian in navy, presentcommanderSiris not betterto contact.
穆克鲁暗笑一声:相比较海军中的名人塞克利安,眼前的这位指挥官大人才更不好接触。CrueknowsLeotychides, so long asreads the map, possiblyismost of the day, thereforegreeted the servantto go the breakfastto deliver to the hallbusily.
穆克鲁知道列奥提齐德斯只要一看地图,就可能是大半天,所以忙招呼奴仆去将早餐送到大厅里。Leotychidesfinished eating the breakfastquickly, thenmakesCruearrangeto go to the Agrigentoreinforcements.列奥提齐德斯很快就吃完早餐,然后让穆克鲁去安排前往阿格里真托的援兵。Cruejustwent out of the hall, the front surfacebumps intoSekrian that the quick stepswalked.
穆克鲁刚走出大厅,迎面就碰上了疾步走来的塞克利安。„SirSekrian, you are-”
“塞克利安大人,你这是-”„Justreceived the return of express steamer, Carthaginianshas seizedAgrigento!”Sekrianis sayingseriously, entered the hall.
“刚接到快船的回报,迦太基人已经占领了阿格里真托!”塞克利安面色凝重的说着,走进了大厅。„Did Agrigentofall to the enemy?!”Leotychidesstoodsuddenly.
“阿格里真托失陷了?!”列奥提齐德斯忽的站了起来。„Carthaginiansnot onlycapturedAgrigento, but alsoslaughtered the entirecity, some Agrigentopeoplewent by boatto escapeEckNoam.”Sekriansaidwith emphasis: „Youtransported the plan of reinforcements unable to implement.”
“迦太基人不但攻陷了阿格里真托,而且还屠戮了整座城市,只有少部分阿格里真托民众乘船逃到了埃科诺姆。”塞克利安加重语气说道:“你运送援兵的计划无法实施了。”Althoughthisunexpected piece of newsdisrupted the plan of Leotychides, has not madehimflurried, hedoesto hesitateslightly, thensaid: „Transports the soldierto plan to continueto implement, but the destinationchangesinGela.”
虽然这一突如其来的消息打乱了列奥提齐德斯的计划,并没有令他过于慌乱,他稍作沉吟,然后说道:“运兵计划请继续实行,不过目的地改在杰拉。”
After the CarthagearmyseizesAgrigento, initseastcity-stateisEckNoam, butthissmall townabsolutelydoes not have the defensive power, next toitsisGela, butinitswestisHeraclea Minoa, whyreinforcesGelarather thanHeraclea Minoa? Sekrianunderstands that because the CarthagearmysiegedSellinNusecity after before, Leotychidesconsidered that Heraclea Minoa is also under the threat of Carthaginians( Heraclea MinoaGermer between SellinNuseandis being only a small town that does not havecity wall, radicallywithoutsendingarmy), thereforewould have noto makehimsend the reinforcements, now the protectionstrength in itscityat leastcansupportsome time.迦太基军队占领阿格里真托之后,在其东面的城邦是埃科诺姆,但这座小城完全没有防御力,紧挨着它的就是杰拉,而在其西面是米诺亚,为什么只是增援杰拉而不是米诺亚?塞克利安对此还是明白的,因为之前迦太基大军围困塞林努斯城之后,列奥提齐德斯考虑到米诺亚也面临着迦太基人的威胁(塞林努斯与米诺亚之间的热尔梅只是一个没有城墙的小镇,根本就没有派驻军队),所以就没有让其派遣援军,现在其城内的防备力量至少可以支撑一段时间。Thinks ofhere, hisseriousasking: „Sent toGela the reinforcements, do youalsoprepareto continue the followingplan?”
想到这里,他郑重的问道:“把援兵送去了杰拉,你还准备继续接下来的计划吗?”Leotychidesnothesitant: „So long ascontinuesto attackEckNoamorGelain the AgrigentoCarthagearmy, wemusthurry towithitbattle, thisisouronlyopportunities!”列奥提齐德斯没有犹豫:“只要在阿格里真托的迦太基军队继续进攻埃科诺姆或者杰拉,我们就必须赶去同它交战,这是我们唯一的机会!”Sekrianis gazing atunemotionalLeotychides, hesomewhatappreciates the decisiveness under thisperson'sinfacingdifficult positionsuddenly, feltoneselfandheincertainaspectsomeshapes, hecoughed, stands up, said: „Good, whenyoumustcommand the armyto attack, pleaseinform the Sicilyfleetto escortforyou.”塞克利安注视着面无表情的列奥提齐德斯,他突然有些欣赏此人在面临困境下的果断,感觉自己和他在某些方面有些像,他咳嗽了一声,站起身来,说道:“好吧,等你要率军出击时,请通知西西里舰队为你们护航。”
After Sekrianleaves, Leotychidesturns headto saytoCruesinkingsound: „Immediatelydischarges the messengertoCatania, letsSiprusto the military affairssectionapplication, adjusts the 7 thregimenttoSicily.”塞克利安离开之后,列奥提齐德斯扭头对穆克鲁沉声说道:“立刻向卡塔奈排出信使,让西普洛斯向军务部申请,调第七军团到西西里。”„?”Crueis a little surprised, throughthese dayscontact, heknows that Leotychidesis a proudcommander, if not arrive at the criticaltime, his seventhregimentwill not seek help, butnowhad arrived at the criticaltime?
“啊?”穆克鲁有点吃惊,通过这段时间的接触,他知道列奥提齐德斯是个骄傲的指挥官,如果不到危急的时刻,他是不会第七军团求助的,而现在已经到了危急的时候了吗?Leotychidesdoes not seem to realize that ownwordsarouse the mighty wavesin the adjutantheart, hisas beforewoodwoodenexplanation: „Seized the AgrigentoCarthagearmynot justto attackEckNoamorHeraclea Minoathesetwochoices, they can also directlyenter the mountainous areatowardnorthagain, met there army, capturedgraciousness that againtoeast-bound, broke through that the defense of Hybla, invaded the Cataniaplain......”列奥提齐德斯似乎没有意识到自己的话在副官心中激起波澜,他依旧木无表情的解释道:“占领了阿格里真托的迦太基军队并非只有进攻埃科诺姆或米诺亚这两个选择,他们也可以再次直接向北进入山区,会合在那里的军队,夺取恩那,再向东进,突破赫那、赫比塔的防御,侵入卡塔尼亚平原……”ByLeotychidesthisanalysis, Cruewas feltanxious, hethinks,said: „Carthagearmy , if not walk the south coast, butmakes a connection with the centralmountainous areadirectly, was thistooalso risky?”
被列奥提齐德斯这一分析,穆克鲁感到了紧张,他想了想,说道:“迦太基军队如果不走南海岸,而是直接打通中部山区,这也太冒险了吧?”„Issomewhatadventurous, butwealsoneedguard.”Leotychidespoints at the map saying: „Nowourprincipal forceinSellinNuse, Cataniaplain, only thenseveral thousandsoldiers, they must guard againstsouthSyracuse, simplydoes not have the ample forceto supportSiculians. To be honest, theseGreekcity-state of Siculianssouth coastinmyheartis important, oncemadeCarthaginiansseizethisregion, fromNaxostoallied countryLeontiumthebigregion that includedduring the threat of Carthagearmy, moreoverwewere very difficultto preventthemto invade, toassure the security of Sicilyterritory, guaranteeing the peoplecansmooth the harvestinggrainwhen the fall harvest, canmake the sameCarthagearmy that our eighthregimenthas not had scruplesbattle, can only make the seventhregimentgo south, assumes the Cataniaplain.”
“是有些冒险,但我们也必须要有所防范。”列奥提齐德斯指着地图说道:“现在我们的主力部队在塞林努斯,卡塔尼亚平原只有几千名士兵,他们还要防范南面的锡拉库扎,根本没有余力支援西凯尔人。说实话,在我心中西凯尔人远比南海岸的这些希腊城邦要重要,一旦让迦太基人占领了这片区域,从纳克索斯到盟邦列奥提尼的所包括的这一大片区域都将在迦太基军队的威胁之中,而且我们很难阻止他们侵入,所以为了保证西西里领地的安全,保证民众能在秋收时顺利的收割粮食,能够让我们第八军团没有顾忌的同迦太基军队作战,只能让第七军团南下,坐镇卡塔尼亚平原。”„Iunderstood, Iarrangeimmediately!”Cruereplied.
“我明白了,我马上就去安排!”穆克鲁答道。................................................
…………………………………………In the armybigtent/account of Carthagecamp, the Magonhear the envoy who returned tofromSellinNusecity, is frowning saying: „Crewcanexchange, butthesesoldiersare not good.”
在迦太基营地的中军大帐,玛哥听完了从塞林努斯城返回的使者,皱着眉头说道:“船员可以进行交换,但是那些士兵不行。”„”Sir, butTheoniancaptured about 10,000Phoeniciasailors, the number of farexceeding the Theoniasailor who wecapture, thereforetheyrequestus the Greeksoldier of captivealso- ”
“”大人,但是戴奥尼亚人俘虏了将近一万名腓尼基水手,远超过我们俘虏的戴奥尼亚水手的数目,所以他们才要求我们将俘虏的希腊士兵也-”„Youaremyenvoyor the Theonianenvoy! Putsthesesoldiers, strengthens the strength of Theoniaarmyagain, Iam a fool! ThisIdid not agree,yougo backto talktothemagain.”
“你到底是我的使者还是戴奥尼亚人的使者!把这些士兵放回去,再增强戴奥尼亚军队的力量,我是傻子吗!这一条我不同意,你回去再跟他们谈。”
The envoyssee the Magonignition, can only the yes sirnamebe.
使者见玛哥发火,只能唯唯称是。Looksenvoydistressedwithdraws from the bigtent/account, Magonsitson the chairis breathing heavily, after waiting for the state of mindto be slightly tranquil, hetonearbyadjutantsaid: „Toldhim, Iagreedthisagreement, arrangesto exchange the captiveimmediately.”
看着使者狼狈的退出大帐,玛哥坐在椅子上喘着粗气,等心绪稍微平静下来之后,他对旁边的副官说道:“去告诉他,我同意了这个协议,立刻安排交换俘虏。”„Siryoudid not saya moment ago-”
“大人您刚才不是说-”„Carries out, is not2000Greeksoldiers, givesthem! HowImusthave a look atTheonianto resist the attacks of my100,000armiesbut actually!”
“去执行吧,不就是2000名希腊士兵吗,给他们!我倒要看看戴奥尼亚人怎么抵挡我10万大军的进攻!”„SirMagon, whatmattermakesyoube angry?” The tentlifts, PommiesZarkawalked.
“玛哥大人,什么事让你这么生气?”帐幕掀开,波米尔卡走了进来。„Naturallyisthese came from the mother-statePhoenician!” The Magoneyesstare, saying of taunt: „Inoccupying the situation of advantage, unexpectedlyby the Theoniafleetrepelling, wasted such a goodopportunityin vain, thesepeople are really the fools!”
“当然是那些来自母邦的腓尼基人!”玛哥双眼一瞪,嘲讽的说道:“在占据优势的情况下,居然还是被戴奥尼亚舰队给击退了,白白浪费了这么一个绝好的机会,这些人真是笨蛋!”„Thistimenaval battletruly makes one regret, the mother-statefleetbelittledTheonianobviously, but the Theoniafleetonefightsafterthis, perhapsalsoharasses the westernsea areatemporarilyweak, ourCarthage and surroundingallied countrycanrelax!

“这次的海战确实是非常的让人惋惜,母邦的舰队显然是小觑了戴奥尼亚人,不过戴奥尼亚舰队经此一战之后,恐怕也暂时无力骚扰西部的海域,我们迦太基和周围的盟邦都能松一口气啊!就凭这个,我们也应该感谢千里迢迢来这里帮助我们的母邦舰队!”波米尔卡笑着提醒他说:“更何况我们的母邦带来的可不止是舰队,他们还承诺将持续不断的向我们资助金银和物资,以帮助我们能够最终战胜戴奥尼亚人!”Magonsnort/hum, hebecausethought ofthese, changed the mind, otherwisethesepeoplelodge the protesttoCarthagecouncildaily, will only affecthisprestige.玛哥哼了一声,他正是因为想到了这些,才又改变了主意,否则这些人天天向迦太基元老院提抗议,只会影响到他的威望。„Did youcallmeto come, whatmatterto have?”PommiesZarkaalsoaskedwith a smile.
“你叫我来,有什么事儿吗?”波米尔卡又笑着问道。„, Isthis.”Brother Mathenthinks,hintsPommiesZarkafirstto sit down, thenserioussaying: „Phoeniciafleet, althoughwas repelledby the Theoniafleet, buttheysucceedpreventedTheonianto reinforce the plan of Agrigentopromptly......, althoughIhave not received the message, butIbelieve that Hasdrubal the Fairis leading more than 20,000soldiers, can definitely take over the militaryweakAgrigentocityquickly.

“哦,是这样。”马哥这才想起来,示意波米尔卡先坐下,然后郑重的说道:“腓尼基舰队虽然被戴奥尼亚舰队击退,但他们还是成功的阻止了戴奥尼亚人及时增援阿格里真托的计划……虽然我还没有收到消息,但是我相信哈斯德鲁巴率领着两万多士兵,完全能够很快攻下兵力薄弱的阿格里真托城。现在局势对我们有利的情况下,我们数量庞大的军队不应该都聚集在塞林努斯城下,而应该抓住这一有利战机,继续扩大战果,所以我希望由你率领军队去进攻米诺亚!”
