Because Leotychides received emergency relief of Heraclea Minoa again, the Carthage army fiercely attacks day after day, the attacking a city instrument that they make causes very big casualties to the Heraclea Minoa garrison troops, Heraclea Minoa is about unable to withstand. But at the same time he also received the message from Sellin Nuse, he leads the army to travel by boat to leave Sellin Nuse harbor matter not to hide the truth from Carthage the sentry who goes on patrol in the seashore, next day Carthaginians launched the attack to Sellin Nuse city. 因为列奥提齐德斯再次收到了米诺亚的紧急求援,迦太基军队连日猛攻,他们制造的攻城器械给米诺亚守军造成很大伤亡,米诺亚已经快顶不住了。而同时他还收到了来自塞林努斯的消息,他率领军队坐船离开塞林努斯港口的事瞒不过迦太基在海边巡逻的哨兵,第二天迦太基人就对塞林努斯城发动了进攻。 These make Leotychides anxious wish solve the Carthage army under Gela city as soon as possible, after discussing with the Gela person and Camarina Reinforcements, decided and Carthaginians conducts an battle. 这些都使得列奥提齐德斯急切的想要尽快解决杰拉城下的这次迦太基军队,所以在和杰拉人、卡曼利纳援军商议之后,决定与迦太基人进行一场会战。 In the morning, Leotychides is leading the eighth regiment 8000 soldiers and 4 th cavalry corps 1000 cavalry and Gela soldier 5000 people, the Camarina reinforcements 3000 people, 17,000 people, had/left the Gela city, marched forward four li (0.5 km) after the west, facing the Carthage military compound, exhibited the battle formation. 清晨,列奥提齐德斯率领着第八军团8000名士兵、第四骑兵军团1000名骑兵、杰拉士兵5000人,卡曼利纳援军3000人,共17,000人,出了杰拉城,向西行进了四里之后,面对迦太基军营,摆开了阵势。 The huge troop carrier team enters the Gela harbor incident to conceal the truth approaches the Carthage army that the seashore builds the camp, therefore the Carthage army had not attacked a city over the two days, instead under Kiess relapse persuasion, Hasdrubal the Fair called approximately 2000 soldiers who guard Ecs Noam, only retained several hundred people. In addition, he also to participates to besiege graciousness that Carthage army that turning over to him manages to issue the command, making 1500 soldiers climb mountains and cross rivers, starry night to travel at double speed in the mountainous area catches up. 庞大的运兵船队进入杰拉港口一事瞒不过靠近海边修筑营地的迦太基军队,所以这两天迦太基军队都没有攻城,反而在基斯戈的反复劝说下,哈斯德鲁巴召来了驻守埃奇诺姆的约2000名士兵,仅保留了几百人。此外,他还向归他统管的参与围攻恩那的迦太基军队发出号令,使得1500名士兵在山区跋涉、星夜兼程的赶来。 Kiess had words to touch Hasdrubal the Fair: „...... According to the sentry observed situation, Theonia troop carrier more than 200, therefore at least 10,000 Theonia soldiers entered Gela. As the matter stands, the garrison troops in city differ not many with our soldier numbers, therefore Theonian possibly to not defend a city, but wants to beat us, compared with huge army that because leads with Sir Magon, our few, is recent from the Theonia territory, threatens to them very in a big way. So long as we can defeat the Theonia army, we can complete Sir Magon as soon as possible in goal of council promise- expels Sicily Theonian, but Hasdrubal the Fair you can also be praised by the Carthage people!......” 基斯戈的有句话打动了哈斯德鲁巴:“……根据哨兵观察到的情况,戴奥尼亚的运兵船不下200艘,因此至少有1万名戴奥尼亚士兵进入了杰拉。这样一来,城里的守军跟我们的士兵数量相差不多,因此戴奥尼亚人绝不可能只是为了守城,而是想要击败我们,因为和玛哥大人所率的庞大军队相比,我们人数少、却又距离戴奥尼亚领地最近,对他们威胁很大。只要我们能够击败戴奥尼亚军队,我们就能够尽快完成玛哥大人在元老院许诺的目标-将戴奥尼亚人赶出西西里,而哈斯德鲁巴你也能被迦太基民众所称颂！……” After knowing the Theonia army had had the Gela city, Hasdrubal the Fair on impatient set army of start in camp. 所以当得知戴奥尼亚大军已经出了杰拉城之后,哈斯德鲁巴就迫不及待的开始在营地内集合部队。 When Theonia allied armies in formation, Hasdrubal the Fair also leads the army to leave the camp, arrives at opposite of the Theonia allied armies, starts formation. 戴奥尼亚联军正在列阵之时,哈斯德鲁巴也率领军队离开营地,来到戴奥尼亚联军对面,也开始列阵。 Hasdrubal the Fair's army has 10,000 Phoenicia and Nummi Biya's composite troops, 4000 Iberia soldier and 2500 Luthy Tanja soldiers and 600 Celtic soldiers, more than 1000 special soldiers, altogether are about 18500 soldiers. 哈斯德鲁巴的军队有1万名腓尼基和努米比亚的混合部队、4000名伊比利亚士兵、2500名卢西塔尼亚战士、600名凯尔特战士,还有1000多名特殊士兵,总共是大约18500名士兵。 The place that because both sides will soon battle is the smooth lawn, surrounding area several li (0.5 km) can take in everything at a glance, the Theonia allied armies first start formation, therefore gave Hasdrubal the Fair, an opportunity of Kiess observation. 由于双方即将交战的地点是平坦的草地,方圆几里能够一览无余,戴奥尼亚联军是先开始列阵,因此给了哈斯德鲁巴、基斯戈一个观察的机会。 Battlefield about three li (0.5 km) that the Theonia allied armies are arranging are much long, is the uniform heavy infantry, they are overlapped, just like a long iron wall. 戴奥尼亚联军正在排列的战阵约有三里多长,全是清一色的重步兵,它们重重叠叠,宛若一道长长的铁墙。 Because the Theonia regiment unique black helmet and black armor are exceptionally conspicuous in army, first captured Hasdrubal the Fair's attention, he discovers the Theonia army mainly centralized in the right of battlefield( left flank of Theonia allied armies), therefore, he and Brother Guise after short discussion, starts to arrange formation: 7000 Phoenicia and Nummi Biya composite troops in left flank, to the Theonia regiment soldier. 由于戴奥尼亚军团独特的黑盔、黑甲在军阵中异常显眼,首先就吸引了哈斯德鲁巴的目光,他发现戴奥尼亚军队主要集中在战阵的右方(戴奥尼亚联军的左翼),因此,他和吉斯哥经过短暂的商议之后,就开始排列阵型:7000名腓尼基和努米比亚混合部队在左翼,正对着戴奥尼亚的军团士兵。 The army that after this army is the Magonid virtue families prepares Iberia to develop, specially forms, for all sorts, had not recruited Carthaginians at that time, but recruited many poor and refugees in Nummi Biya the Phoenicia allied country of area and coastal area of North Africa, most starts is 20000 people, once achieved 40,000 people when the peak, they are the Magonid virtue families stand firm and open up territory in Iberia to expand the earth the main force, for more than ten years under Magon and Hasdrubal the Fair's leadership, have conducted the innumerable fights with Iberia aggressive indigenous, is strength that the Magonid virtue families most have a high opinion. These attacked Sicily time, Magon brought 20,000 people, 10,000 soldiers remained behind south Iberia. 这一支军队是马戈尼德家族准备到伊比利亚去发展之后专门组建的军队,出于种种考虑,当时并没有招募迦太基人,而是在努米比亚地区和北非沿岸的腓尼基盟邦中招募了很多的贫民和流民,最开始是20000人,在高峰期时曾达到4万人,他们是马戈尼德家族在伊比利亚站稳脚跟、开疆扩土的主力,十几年来在玛哥、哈斯德鲁巴的率领下,同伊比利亚凶悍的土著进行过无数次的战斗,是马戈尼德家族最为倚重的力量。这一次进攻西西里,玛哥带来了2万人,还有1万名士兵留守伊比利亚南部。 But in center, Hasdrubal the Fair prepares to let the other 3000 Phoenicia and Nummi Biya soldier guards with 2000 Iberia infantries. 而在中路,哈斯德鲁巴准备让剩余的3000名腓尼基与努米比亚士兵同2000名伊比利亚步兵镇守。 The Iberia infantry is in indigenous comprised, they who south Iberia lives although cannot compare his distant relative Luthy Tanja person to be maneating, but they are populous, unites, once caused very big trouble to Magonid virtue family's conquering south Iberia, spent for probably 6 and 7 years makes most tribes submit to Magon. 伊比利亚步兵是由在伊比利亚南部生活的土著组成,他们虽然比不上其远亲卢西塔尼亚人凶悍,但是他们人口众多,也更团结,曾经给马戈尼德家族在伊比利亚南部的征服制造了很大的麻烦,花了大概六、七年的时间才使得大部分的部落向玛哥臣服。 Therefore, Magon does not dare to enslave Nummi Biya person to enslave south Iberia like Carthage the race, but listened to the nephew Harcar's opinion: So long as they submit, does not eliminate their territories, permits them the free-living in the area of jurisdiction, does not levy taxes to them, does not interfere in the internal affairs of tribe, but also conducts the daily necessities by the low price with these tribes the trade...... 所以,玛哥也没敢象迦太基奴役努米比亚人一样奴役伊比利亚南部种族,而是听从了侄子哈卡的意见:只要他们臣服,就不剥夺他们的领地,允许他们在辖区内自由生活,不对他们征税,不干涉部落的内政,还以较低的价格同这些部落进行日常生活用品的贸易…… But these races have duty that must observe: Does not violate the law of colony( this law is not the Carthage law, but is Harcar acts according to law of Iberia southern situation formulation), when the Magonid virtue families launch the war outward, they need to provide the manpower resources, naturally after winning, they will also receive the large spoils of war return ; In addition, among the tribes can not have the war, once there is a conflict, hands over coordinates the solution by the Magonid virtue families, this is equal to making the Magonid virtue families the big leaders of Iberia southern tribes, the interest of tribe had not been harmed, instead obtained many advantage, naturally also greatly reduced to Brother Ma's resistance. 但这些种族也有必须要遵守的义务:不违反殖民地的法律(这个法律不是迦太基法律,而是哈卡根据伊比利亚南部的情况制定的法律),当马戈尼德家族对外发动战争时,他们需要提供兵源,当然获胜之后,他们也会获得丰厚的战利品回报;此外,部落之间不得发生战争,一旦有了矛盾冲突,交由马戈尼德家族来协调解决,这就等于是让马戈尼德家族成为了伊比利亚南部各部落的大首领,部落的利益没有受到损害,反而得到了很多好处,对马哥的反抗自然也就大大减少了。 Hence, Magon in the Iberia southern territory not only is about maintaining stable, but also had massive free manpower resources, greatly reduced the war costs of maintenance territory security, reduced the number of employment soldier( mainly to refer to Phoenicia and Nummi Biya army), Magon in this landing brought 15,000 Iberia infantries. 至此,玛哥在伊比利亚南部的领地不但大致保持着稳定,而且也有了大量的免费兵源,大大减少了维护领地安全的军事费用,也消减了雇佣士兵的数量(主要是指腓尼基和努米比亚部队),在这一次的登陆中玛哥带来了15,000名伊比利亚步兵。 But right flank comprised of 2500 Luthy Tanja soldiers and 2000 Libyan soldiers. right flank soldiers are least, the hope that but Hasdrubal the Fair will actually win pins on right flank, this is because existence of Luthy Tanja soldier. 而右翼是由2500名卢西塔尼亚战士和2000名利比亚士兵组成。右翼的士兵人数最少,但是哈斯德鲁巴却将获胜的希望寄托在右翼身上,这是因为卢西塔尼亚战士的存在。 Luthy Tanja person in fact is a Celts branch, they tall strong, runs fast powerful, the good causes the big shield and Catta short-sword, in the use of weapon with their Relatives Iberia the infantry is similar, is only the Iberia infantry is steady, but they are wilder when battle, is more suitable to attack, therefore Hasdrubal the Fair arranged them at the farthest right side, hopes that opened the road of victory with them. 卢西塔尼亚人实际上是凯尔特人的一个分支,他们身材高大强壮,奔跑快速有力,善使大盾和法卡塔短剑,在武器的使用上跟他们的亲戚-伊比利亚步兵相似,只是伊比利亚步兵稳健,而他们在厮杀时却更加狂暴,更适合进攻,所以哈斯德鲁巴将他们排在了最右端,希望用他们来打开胜利之路。 As for that 600 Celtic soldiers, Hasdrubal the Fair kept the center rear area them, is not because he has the custom of retaining the reserve forces, because he indistinct observation the Theonia allied armies have many cavalries a moment ago. 至于那600名凯尔特战士,哈斯德鲁巴将他们留在了中路的后方,并不是因为他已经有了保留预备队的习惯,而是因为他刚才已经隐约的观察到戴奥尼亚联军有不少骑兵。 Hasdrubal the Fair not like Monta Desnot, he and uncle Magon had carefully studied the Theonian past war advantage, discovered that cavalry is playing a quite vital role, even they also utilize to conquer in the Iberia southern war this, routs the enemy using the cavalry repeatedly, turns around the situation, after all the Carthage cavalry resources are rich, in the army who the Carthage cavalry and Nummi Biya cavalry and Mauritanian allied country cavalries, even some Luthy Tanja person also many cavalries, this Magon lead has more than 7000 cavalries. 哈斯德鲁巴可不像蒙特阿德诺,他和叔叔玛哥曾经仔细研究过戴奥尼亚人以往的战利,发现骑兵在其中起着一个相当重要的作用,甚至他们还将此运用到征服伊比利亚南部的战争中,多次利用骑兵击溃敌人,扭转战局,毕竟迦太基的骑兵资源非常丰富,迦太基骑兵、努米比亚骑兵、毛里塔尼亚盟邦骑兵、甚至卢西塔尼亚人也有不少骑兵,这一次玛哥率领的大军中就有7000多名骑兵。 Because Hasdrubal the Fair must lead the army to surmount the mountainous area, to attack Siculians, again the rear area of long-range raid Theonia army, the cavalry instead became the burden, enabling in the army of present not to have the cavalry, therefore he must leave behind Celts to protect another army, common defense Theonia cavalry soldier's attack to army flank. 但是由于哈斯德鲁巴要率领军队翻越山区、突袭西凯尔人、再奔袭戴奥尼亚军队的后方,骑兵反而成了累赘,使得现在的这支军队中没有骑兵,所以他必须要留下凯尔特人来保护另外一支部队,共同防御戴奥尼亚骑兵对军阵侧翼的攻击。 Naturally, Celts is unruly, is difficult to coordinate with other armies in the battlefield, instead will hinder the attack, this also the reason that they carry alone, for this reason Hasdrubal the Fair also makes Kiess assume the center rear area, in which duty is to restrain this Unit Celtic. 当然,凯尔特人桀骜不驯,在战阵中较难与其他部队进行配合,反而会阻碍进攻,这也是将他们单独拎出来的原因,为此哈斯德鲁巴还让基斯戈坐镇中路的后方,其中的一个任务就是约束住这支凯尔特。 After completing these deployment, Hasdrubal the Fair ran right flank, he must launch the attack with Luthy Tanja person to the enemy personally together, head unexpectedly same group aborigines together formation of Carthage army, moreover was located in the army forefront, this regarding the Carthage aristocrat truly was unique, was Magon cannot achieve, but Hasdrubal the Fair actually depended on this to win the Iberia person and Luthy Tanja person, even the respect of Celts, everyone is willing to obey his direction. 在做完了这些部署之后,哈斯德鲁巴就跑去了右翼,他要亲自同卢西塔尼亚人一起向敌人发起进攻,一支迦太基军队的首脑居然同一群土著人一起列阵,而且还是位于军阵的前列,这对于迦太基贵族来说确实是绝无仅有,就是玛哥也做不到,但哈斯德鲁巴却凭此赢得了伊比利亚人、卢西塔尼亚人、甚至凯尔特人的尊重,大家愿意听从他的指挥。 .......................................... …………………………………… Leotychides obtains the return of mounted scout, knew after Carthage army already camp, his heart decided: Today's battle will definitely work. 列奥提齐德斯得到侦骑的回报,得知迦太基军队已经出营之后,他的心定了下来:今天的这场会战肯定是会进行下去了。 He started a more careful set up formation: The 6000 heavy infantries of eighth regiment from right flank toward the center platoon, only then 8 rows, the eighth regiment accounted for half of entire army length as the matter stands ; What with the eighth regiment engagement is the Gela heavy infantry, but they increase to 14 rows the row ; The left of Gela person is the Camarina heavy infantry, similarly is 14 horizontal...... 他开始了更细致的布阵:第八军团的6000名重步兵从右翼往中路排,只有八个横列,这样一来第八军团就占据了整个军阵长度的一半;和第八军团衔接的是杰拉的重步兵,而他们则将横列增加到14列;杰拉人的左边是卡曼利纳重步兵,同样是14横……。 The formation of Theonia allied armies like a hatchet, the right is the thin wood, the left is the thick blade, Leotychides arranges, is compels to have no other choice: The ally army combined military operation of Theonia regiment and south coast several months, he had the deep understanding of these Greek city-state armies, most of them have adept heavy infantry combat skills, in the fight is also brave, but the discipline is sloppy, fighting is unendurable, meets to frustrate, is easy to be defeated and dispersed, stemming from their worries, therefore thickened their array. As the matter stands, wears front row soldier who the thick Greek Hoplite armor, is moving about with difficulty, even if timid, wants to retreat, but under pushing of rear soldier, still has to press forward, otherwise he is easier dead of the attack and trampling of ally enemy. 戴奥尼亚联军的阵型象一把柴刀,右边是较细的木把,左边是厚实的刀刃,列奥提齐德斯之所以这样安排,也是逼不得已:戴奥尼亚军团和南海岸的友邦军队联合作战了几个月,他对这些希腊城邦军队有较深的了解,他们多数有着较娴熟的重步兵作战技能,战斗中也算勇敢,但是纪律较散漫,战斗不能持久,遇到挫败,较容易溃散,出于对他们的担心,所以才加厚了他们的阵列。这样一来,身穿着厚实的希腊重步兵盔甲、行动不便的前列士兵即使胆怯、想要溃退,但在后方士兵的推挤之下,也不得不奋力向前,否则他更容易死于敌人的攻击和己方战友的践踏。
