Pommies Zarka stares, asks: „Don't we first take over Sellin Nuse city?” 波米尔卡一愣,问道:“我们不先攻下塞林努斯城吗？” Magon face slightly red, he is earnest saying: „After these days attacking a city, believes that you also know, Sellin Nuse not only city garrison firm, but also the Theonia principal force in Sellin Nuse city, their morale is also very good, even our soldier numbers by far in them, but if wants to take over this city, we need to spend more time, but the time is very to me important!” 玛哥老脸微红,他还是认真的说道:“经过这段时间的攻城,相信你也知道,塞林努斯不但城防坚固,而且戴奥尼亚的主力部队也在塞林努斯城内,他们士气很好,即使我们的士兵数量远胜于他们,但要想攻下这座城,我们需要花费更多的时间,而时间对我来说很重要！” Pommies Zarka then remembers Magon in the commitment that council makes, he no longer hesitates, immediately expressed willingness to go to battle. 波米尔卡这才想起玛哥在元老院所作出的承诺,他不再犹豫,当即表示愿意出征。 Magon showed several smile, generous saying: „Is led 10,000 Carthage citizen soldiers by you, 15,000 when the citizen soldier who comprised of the Phoenicia allied country initially, 25,000 Nummi Biya soldier, altogether 50,000 people, this may compared with Monta Desnot attacked Heraclea Minoa have 10,000 people! I hope that you will command the army to go to Heraclea Minoa tomorrow, moreover do not make the Monta Desnot's initial mistake, takes over the Heraclea Minoa city as soon as possible!” 玛哥露出了几丝笑容,慷慨的说道:“由你率领一万名迦太基公民兵,1万五千名由腓尼基盟邦组成的公民兵,两万五千名努米比亚士兵,一共五万人,这可比当初蒙特阿德诺进攻米诺亚时还多出了1万人！我希望你明天就率军前往米诺亚,而且不要犯蒙特阿德诺当初的错误,尽快攻下米诺亚城！” Pommies Zarka not, because will soon lead a huge army to be excited, instead concerned asking: „Sir Magon, according to such arrangement, the soldier who your side remains are not many, if Theonian in city goes out of town to attack again-” 波米尔卡并没有因为即将率领如此庞大的一支军队而兴奋,反而关切的问道:“玛哥大人,按照这样的安排,你身边所剩的士兵就不多,万一城内的戴奥尼亚人再次出城突击-” Although Pommies Zarka did not have to say again, but has revealed his worry, in his opinion: If oneself, command the army to leave after the proposition of Magon, side Magon is only left over is less than 20,000 brings the army that from Iberia, this armies that promiscuously becomes by the multi- races seems like has the battle efficiency very much, but is not good to manage, lacks loyally. About 10,000 the citizen soldier who is formed by the Sicily west allied country, these Sicily islanders lack the training, is more suitable to hold the post to transport the military baggage, to build military camp and other janitors, rather than goes forth to battle to fight ; Before the remaining about 10,000 Nummi Biya soldiers are, once suffered night assault the soldier of that stretch of camp, obviously the attack of Theonia scared the Nummi Biya people of these black skins, for does not make their panic affect the morale of other armies, Magon divides specially them, for these days has been busy training and consolidating, even also prepares to escort to them, so that to replace there garrison troops. 波米尔卡虽然没有再说下去,但已经表露出了他的担忧,在他看来:自己如果按照玛哥的提议、率军离开之后,玛哥身边就只剩下不到两万的从伊比利亚带来的军队,这支由多种族混杂而成的军队看起来似乎很有战斗力,但并不好管理,同时也缺乏忠诚。还有将近1万名由西西里西部盟邦组建的公民兵,这些西西里岛人缺乏训练,更适合担任运送辎重、修筑营寨等杂役,而不是上阵战斗;剩下的将近1万名努米比亚士兵就是之前曾经遭受夜袭的那一片营地的士兵,显然戴奥尼亚的进攻吓坏了这些黑皮肤的努米比亚人,为了不让他们恐慌的情绪影响到其他部队的士气,玛哥专门将他们分割出来,这几天一直在忙着整训,甚至还准备将他们送往利利俾,以替换那里的守军。 But Magon was not worried, his self-confident saying: „If the Theonian such action as you said that that I hope.” 但玛哥对此并不担心,他自信的说道:“如果戴奥尼亚人像你所说的那样行动,那正是我所希望的。” Pommies Zarka no longer persuaded, he accepted the order. Actually even if he does not accept, Magon will still force him to accept, because he replaced many Carthage general before forcefully, is trusted the team officers of Iberia army to take over control by oneself, is not only made the army soldiers who form by Carthage feel very anxious, after the news passes to Carthage, aroused the disapproval of council, the Hanno(Hannonian) faction attacks his approach, claimed: He does that wants to let the private army that the entire army turns into the Magonid virtue families, to facilitate him to rule as a dictatorship. 波米尔卡不再劝说,他接受了命令。其实就算他不接受,玛哥也会强迫他接受,因为他之前强行换掉了不少迦太基将领,由自己信任的伊比利亚军队的队官接管,不但让由迦太基组建的军队士兵感到很不安,消息传到迦太基之后,也引起了元老院的非议,汉诺派更是抨击他的这种做法,声称:他这么做,就是想让整个军队都变成马戈尼德家族的私军,以方便他进行独裁。 Magon makes independent senior statesman Pommies Zarka take over control of the Carthage army temporarily, since to comfort soldiers, to let the senior statesmen feels at ease. 玛哥让中立派元老波米尔卡暂时接管迦太基的军队,既是为了安抚士兵们,也是为了让元老们安心。 .......................................... …………………………………… 2nd day, Pommies Zarka leads the army to have the camp, marches forward to east along the coast. 第二天,波米尔卡就率领着军队出营,沿着海岸向东行进。 Magon has not concealed this military action, therefore large-scale of Carthaginians in military compound transfers in Leotychides by top to see very clearly, in his heart is somewhat anxious, because he can guess correctly why this Carthage army leaves, he has to consider: Leads the army to go out of town the attack while this opportunity also the Carthage army in camp, however the beforehand night assault action had given the warning to Carthaginians, since they also dare to do that obviously has guarded. 玛哥并没有掩饰这一个军事行动,因此迦太基人在军营内的大规模调动被城头上的列奥提齐德斯看得很清楚,他心中有些焦急,因为他能猜到这支迦太基军队是为何离开,他不是没有考虑过:趁此机会率领全军出城进攻还在营地内的迦太基军队,但是之前的夜袭行动已经给迦太基人敲响了警钟,他们既然还敢这么做,显然是有所防备。 Leotychides is grasping only principal force of Kingdom of Theonia on the Sicily island, in enemy numerous my widowed situation, he can only take the odds of success big action, therefore he is hoping the arrival of Catania fleet now anxiously. 列奥提齐德斯手握着戴奥尼亚王国在西西里岛上唯一的一支主力部队,在敌众我寡的情况下,他只能采取胜算大的行动,所以他现在焦急的盼望着卡塔奈船队的到来。 .......................................... …………………………………… Hasdrubal the Fair allows the soldiers to plunder and slaughter the Agrigento entire city, on the one hand to hold a memorial service for his father Mirko( Mirko also once commanded the army to seize the Agrigento city), making his subordinate soldiers after experiencing the difficult mountainous area marched and struggled hard, can be released, has harvested ; On the other hand also to obtain enough much grain. 哈斯德鲁巴允许士兵们抢掠和屠戮阿格里真托全城,一方面是为了祭奠他的父亲希米尔科(希米尔科也曾经率军占领阿格里真托城),让他麾下的士兵们在经历了艰苦的山区行军、苦战之后,能够得到释放,有所收获;另一方面也是为了获得足够多的粮食。 His goal was achieved. The Agrigento territory is not the mountainous area, is the hill, although does not grow perceptibly by the agriculture, but it is actually in the Sicily island the city of famous raising livestock, therefore Hasdrubal the Fair obtained massive domestic animals, maintains 20,000 people of army half a month eating sufficiently. 他的目的达到了。阿格里真托的领地不是山区、就是丘陵,虽然不以农业见长,但它却是西西里岛上有名的畜牧之城,因此哈斯德鲁巴获得了大量的牲畜,足以维持2万人的军队半个月的食用。 Therefore recuperation one day later, while Pommies Zarka marches to Heraclea Minoa, Hasdrubal the Fair leaves behind 1000 soldiers to guard the Agrigento city, leads 16,000 soldiers, marches forward to east along the coast, the goal is Gela. 所以在休整一天之后,就在波米尔卡向米诺亚进军的同时,哈斯德鲁巴留下1000名士兵驻守阿格里真托城,率领16,000名士兵,沿着海岸向东行进,目标是杰拉。 Army in advance on the way of must pass through Eck Noam city, why Leotychides had not transported the reinforcements to this city before, but hasn't Hasdrubal the Fair this city been the goal? Because this is a Greek small town, his scale Germer is bigger, the low city wall can only be used to prevent the wild animal, cannot stall the attack of enemy, therefore Leotychides does not hold the hope to it, Hasdrubal the Fair has not regarded as the hindrance it.( Note: In history, later Agrigento hundred years overstepped authority main constructed a new town in Eck Noam cape, in dozens years later First Punic War, had in Western ancient history near the cape of this city a largest naval battle, Carthage and Rome altogether invested 680 battleships, carried approximately 290,000 crew and soldiers, finally Rome won.) 军队在前进的途中要经过埃科诺姆城,为何之前列奥提齐德斯没有将援兵运到这座城中,而哈斯德鲁巴也没有将这座城市为目标呢？因为这是一座希腊小城,其规模只比热尔梅大一些,低矮的城墙只能用来阻挡野兽,根本挡不住敌人的进攻,因此列奥提齐德斯不对它抱有希望,哈斯德鲁巴也没有将它视为阻碍。(注:历史上,在百年后阿格里真托的僭主才在埃科诺姆海角建了一座新城,在几十年之后的第一次布匿战争中,就在这城市的海角附近发生了西方古代史上规模最大的一次海战,迦太基和罗马共投入了680艘战舰,搭载了约29万名船员和士兵,最终罗马获胜。) Really, when Hasdrubal the Fair commands the army to arrive, the residents in Eck Noam have fled, only remains an empty city. The Carthage army enters smoothly. 果然,哈斯德鲁巴率军到达时,埃科诺姆的居民已经逃离,只剩一座空城。迦太基军队顺利进驻。 After resting one is late, 2nd day continues to east marches, and enters the Gela territory at noon. 在休息一晚之后,第二天继续向东行军,并且在中午时分进入杰拉领地。 The Gela city is time-honored, it only compared with establishment of Syracuse late four and five years, is establishes by the colonizers in Rhodes and Island of Crete, takes the Gela river in territory to name as the city. 杰拉城历史悠久,它只比锡拉库扎的建立晚了四、五年,是由罗德岛和克里特岛的殖民者建立,以领地内的杰拉河为城市命名。 Because the Gela river washes out a lot of soils from the mountainous area, formed in the Gela territory the fertile wash plain, Gela person after dozens years after the success transformation of rivers swampy ground, Gela becomes prospers, but at this time the Agrigento city just established, the Syracuse city also limits to mysterious raises the Guillat island, therefore hundred years ago well-trained soldiers and ample supply Gela overstepped authority to advocate Hippocrates and his successor Dillon starts to east conquered the war, finally and other Sicily eastern Greece colonizing cities indicated to submit to Camarina to Gela from Messina, Dillon settled on the Syracuse geographical position, moved to there, but took over control of Gela by his brothers Shillong, And moved to Syracuse its place of birth Gela half of population, thus accomplished the Syracuse prosperous start. After Dillon dies, after Shillong moves to Syracuse...... hence, Gela overstepped authority main gave up the original city in abundance, took own dominant center Syracuse, Gela also starts to decline by original Sicily most powerful Greece city-state. But hence, Gela also established the quite close relationship with Syracuse. 由于杰拉河从山区里冲刷下来大量的泥土,形成了杰拉领地内肥沃的河流平原,杰拉人经过几十年对河流沼泽地的成功改造之后,杰拉就变得繁荣起来,而这时阿格里真托城才刚刚建立,锡拉库扎城还局限于奥提吉亚岛,所以百年前兵精粮足的杰拉僭主希波克拉底和他的继任者狄隆向东发动了征服战争,最终从墨西拿到卡曼利纳等西西里东部的希腊殖民城都向杰拉表示臣服,狄隆看中了锡拉库扎的地理位置,迁往了那里,而让他的兄弟希隆接管杰拉,并且将其出生地杰拉一半的人口都迁往了锡拉库扎,从而造就了锡拉库扎繁荣的开始。狄隆死后,希隆又迁往锡拉库扎……至此之后,杰拉的僭主们纷纷放弃了原来的城市,将锡拉库扎作为自己的统治中心,杰拉也由原来西西里最强大的希腊城邦开始没落。但至此,杰拉也与锡拉库扎建立了相当密切的关系。 Gela and Syracuse produces for the first time contradictory more than 20 years ago, Carthage commander Mirko leads the army to the Syracuse attack on the way, first seized Agrigento, then surrounded Gela. Dionysius complies to send out the reinforcements, but the reinforcements, Gela had not been seized finally. But contradictory deepening after the Gela person returns to the homeland, Syracuse has become the overlord in Sicily island Greece city-state, Dionysius exploits the oppression to be serious to the Allied country People, these also include certainly Gela, the Gela people are extremely discontented with it, but dreads its strong military force but can only obey. 杰拉与锡拉库扎第一次产生矛盾是在20多年前,迦太基统帅希米尔科率领大军在向锡拉库扎进攻的途中,先是占领了阿格里真托,接着又包围了杰拉。狄奥尼修斯答应派出援军,但最终援军未至,杰拉也被占领。而矛盾的加深则是在杰拉人重回家园之后,锡拉库扎已经成为西西里岛希腊城邦中的霸主,狄奥尼修斯对盟邦民众剥削压迫甚重,这其中当然也包括杰拉,杰拉民众对其非常不满,但畏惧其强大的武力而只能服从。 Until Theonia defeats Syracuse, although the Gela person feels grateful to Theonian, to entering Sicily the outcomer is maintaining the alert, Theonia around with Sicily friendly is together through 10 city-state of years, made the Gela person relax the guard finally. In this Theonia and Carthage war, the Gela also positive provision material aid, and sends out the army to enter the war. 直到戴奥尼亚击败锡拉库扎,杰拉人虽然对戴奥尼亚人心存感激,同时也对进入西西里的外来者保持着戒备,戴奥尼亚通过十年与西西里周围城邦友好相处,才使得杰拉人终于放下了戒心。在这一次戴奥尼亚与迦太基的战争中,杰拉也积极的提供物资援助、并派出军队参战。 Now, the Carthage army compelled under the city, not only this made Gela people feel anxious, vibrated Syracuse and Catania, after all before compared with a series of fights of western, Gela was very near from them, can capture the attention of people. 现在,迦太基军队逼到了城下,这不但让杰拉人感到紧张,同时也震动了锡拉库扎和卡塔奈,毕竟和之前在西部发生的一系列战斗相比,杰拉距离他们很近,更能吸引民众的目光。 .......................................... …………………………………… „Commander Sir, Karsi Teece came.” Crue reports to Leotychides. “指挥官大人,卡尔西狄斯来了。”穆克鲁向列奥提齐德斯汇报。 „Asked him to come.” “请他进来吧。” Wears the purple to withstand/top the middle-aged team officer stride of crown helmet to enter the hall in city main mansion. 一名戴着紫色顶冠头盔的中年队官大步走进了城主府邸的大厅。 His name was Karsi Teece, came Catania. After Dionysius breaks through Catania, he becomes the refugee, once escaped to the inhabit region of mountainous area lived some time, afterward returned to the Catania harbor quietly, takes betraying the labor force as to live, he defies brutal force and assists, the handling matters justice small and weakly, therefore the prestige is high in the refugee and freeman of Catania harbor. In South-Italian War, Antras Polis in the Catania harbor ambush, obtained his vigorous help, and in riot that starts in later Catania, the freeman who he leads is also one of the main forces. After Catania success recovering, he also leads the army to assist the first regiment to pursue the Matthias routed troop. 他叫卡尔西狄斯,出身卡塔奈。狄奥尼修斯攻破卡塔奈之后,他成为了流民,曾经逃到山区的聚居地生活了一段时间,后来又悄悄回到卡塔奈港口,以出卖劳力为生,他不畏强暴、扶助弱小、处事公道,因此在卡塔奈港口的流民、自由民中威望甚高。在南意战争中,安特拉波里斯在卡塔奈港口潜伏,得到了他的大力帮助,并且在之后卡塔奈掀起的暴乱中,他所率的自由民也是主力之一。卡塔奈成功光复之后,他还率领部队协助第一军团追击马西阿斯的溃兵。 After the war ended, Catania merges into Kingdom of Theonia, the hero in this Catania person mind actually rejects to become the congressman of kingdom official or City Parliament, but worked as one to protect the people officer voluntarily, and every year because displayed is elected by the Catania person outstandingly, attended the protecting people officer congress of kingdom. Meanwhile, he is also the eighth regiment's first brigade chief, is deep having a high opinion of Leotychides. 然而在战争结束、卡塔奈并入戴奥尼亚王国之后,这位卡塔奈人心目中的英雄却拒绝成为王国官员或者城市议会的议员,而是自愿当了一名护民官,并且每年都因为表现优秀被卡塔奈人推选,参加王国的护民官大会。同时,他也是第八军团第一大队大队长,深得列奥提齐德斯的倚重。 „Commander Sir, Karsi Teece reports in!” Karsi Teece good a powerful military salute. “指挥官大人,卡尔西狄斯前来报到！”卡尔西狄斯行了一个有力的军礼。
