Moreover, Leotychides considered that in the Gela soldier has many old citizens( the Gela person to defend homeland, this time may be turns out in full strength), thickens the array specially, may cause it not by the enemy breaking through upfront easily. 而且,列奥提齐德斯考虑到杰拉的士兵中有不少年纪较大的公民(杰拉人为了保卫家园,这一次可算是倾巢而出),特意加厚阵列,可使其不被敌人轻易的攻破正面。 Meanwhile, considering that Greek Hoplite weakness- flank receives the attack and easy rout, therefore Leotychides approaches the coast left flank, this prevented Carthaginians to be circuitous from the left, attacks the rear of allied force. 同时,考虑到希腊重步兵的弱点-侧翼受到攻击、容易溃败,所以列奥提齐德斯将左翼靠近海岸,这样就防止了迦太基人从左边迂回,攻击友军的侧后。 In addition, he thickens the array goal is to also reduce the length of battlefield, because Gela western land, although the topography is smooth, but is not broad, from coast to mountain ridges, only then 7-8 li (0.5 km), Leotychides needs to leave enough many spaces to gallop for the cavalry beside right flank, because he decided the chance of Theonia allied armies in right flank, because here had the 8 th regiment that he trusted, can circle to 1300 cavalries who an opposite Carthage army rear attacked momentarily( the 1000 cavalries of 4 th cavalry corps added on Gela and Camarina cavalry 300). He finds from the Gela population, in the Carthage army that this forward attacks a city has not discovered the cavalry, over the two days the Theonia mounted scout also confirmed this news. 此外,他加厚阵列还有一个目的就是缩短战阵的长度,因为杰拉西边的土地虽然地势平坦,但是并不宽阔,从海岸到山岭之间只有7-8里,列奥提齐德斯需要在右翼之外留出足够多的空间供骑兵驰骋,因为他将戴奥尼亚联军的胜机定在了右翼,因为这边有他信赖的第八军团,还有随时可以绕到对面迦太基军阵侧后去攻击的1300名骑兵(第四骑兵军团的1000名骑兵加上杰拉和卡曼利纳的骑兵300名)。他可是从杰拉人口中了解到,这支前来攻城的迦太基军队中并没有发现骑兵,这两天戴奥尼亚侦骑也证实了这一消息。 After he ponders carefully, wants to understand reason, therefore he can want to engage in a decisive battle with Carthaginians quickly, the cavalry is he biggest dependence. 他仔细的思考之后,就想明白了其中的原因,所以他敢这么快就想同迦太基人进行会战,骑兵是他最大的依赖。 Leotychides and adjutant Crue rides a horse to be built on a army front, is waiting and seeing opposite Carthaginians formation situation, and mounted scout reports the Carthage army entire formation situation to him momentarily. 列奥提齐德斯与副官穆克鲁骑马立于军阵的前方,观望着对面迦太基人列阵的情况,并且还有侦骑随时向他汇报迦太基军队整个阵型的情况。 Although the intelligence collection of Theonia intelligence service's Carthage army to Iberia area not many( this is because Carthage to protect own precious metal mine source, clearly proposed in former and Theonia peace agreement „does not permit the Theonia merchant ship to the Iberia Carthage territory trade” provision, Magon controls to its territory simultaneously is also strict, fills vigilantly to outcomer, if Theonia intelligence personnel want to enter south Carthage respective Iberia is quite difficult), Leotychides generally knows: The one who wears the apex helmet, to wear white flax breastplate and coat chain armor, the hand-held lance and long shield is Phoenicia and Nummi Biya infantry ; Those who wear the flat topping helmet, to wear the white inside lining and coat armor of purple edge, to grasp the long shield and short-sword is the Iberia infantry ; But these wear black robes, wrap/sets the armor, to grasp the soldier of long shield and short-sword possibly are the Luthy Tanja soldier in hearsay...... 虽然戴奥尼亚情报部门对伊比利亚地区的迦太基军队的情报收集并不多(这是因为迦太基为了保护自己的贵金属矿场来源地,在以前与戴奥尼亚的和平协议中明确提出了“不允许戴奥尼亚商船到伊比利亚的迦太基领地进行贸易”的条款,同时玛哥对其领地控制也较严格,对外来者充满警惕,戴奥尼亚情报人员要想进入迦太基所属的伊比利亚南部相当困难),列奥提齐德斯还是大致知道:头戴尖顶盔、身穿白色亚麻胸甲、外套链甲、手持长矛和长盾的是腓尼基和努米比亚步兵;戴着平顶头盔、身穿紫色滚边的白色内衬、外套铠甲、手持长盾和短剑的是伊比利亚步兵;而那些穿着黑袍、套着铠甲、同样手持长盾和短剑的士兵可能就是传闻中的卢西塔尼亚战士…… After roughly understood Carthage army formation situation, in the Leotychides heart breathes a sigh of relief, turns head to say to Crue: „It seems like Carthaginians was truly worried that the striking power of our regiment soldier, put left flank in the Iberia principal force them especially, as the matter stands...... we first formation, attracted the opposite party main force, to reduce with the eighth regiment to the goal of ally soldier pressure achieves.” 在大致了解了迦太基军队列阵的情况之后,列奥提齐德斯心中舒了口气,扭头对穆克鲁说道:“看来迦太基人确实担心我们军团士兵的攻击力,特地把他们在伊比利亚的主力部队放到了左翼,这样一来……我们先列阵,用第八军团吸引对方主力、减轻对友邦士兵压力的目的达到了。” He spoke these words , because reminded him in former Crue: Should better not before the enemy arrives first set up formation, because «Theonian Military Law» once mentioned, should better not before the battle makes the enemy first know the array deployment of one's own side, in order to avoid its has the opportunity to conduct the pointed arrangement. 他之所以说这句话,是因为在之前穆克鲁提醒他:最好不要在敌人到达前抢先布阵,因为《戴奥尼亚军法》中曾提到,在会战前最好不要让敌人先知道己方的阵列部署,以免其有机会进行针对性的布置。 At this time, Crue blind echoing, he has not reminded: „Commander Sir, Carthaginians arranged these Luthy Tanja people in their right flank!” 此时,穆克鲁并没有盲目的附和,他提醒道:“指挥官大人,迦太基人可是将那些卢西塔尼亚人布置在了他们的右翼！” „Before hearsay Messapians was very aggressive, Lucanians is very aggressive, Samnites to be very maneating......, but they have not posed the big threat to Theonia, now the hearsay Luthy Tanja person is also very aggressive, I think that we should not believe these rumors blindly, first had a look at the situation of fight to say again.” In the Leotychides calm tone has one to disdain, he reminded Crue in turn: „The Greek Hoplite biggest merit is their positive/direct defensive powers is very strong, the striking power is not weak, this is our allied armies, surpasses the place of opposite party besides the cavalry exactly, therefore wants is positive/direct battle, we will not be at a disadvantage.” “以前传闻梅萨皮人很凶悍、卢卡尼亚人很凶悍、萨莫奈人很凶悍……但他们并没有给戴奥尼亚造成多大的威胁,现在又传闻卢西塔尼亚人很凶悍,我想我们不应该盲目的听信这些传言,先看看战斗的情况再说。”列奥提齐德斯冷静的语气中带着一丝不屑,他反过来提醒穆克鲁:“希腊重步兵最大的优点就是他们正面的防御力很强、攻击力也不弱,这恰恰是我们的联军除了骑兵之外、优于对方的地方,因此只要是正面的厮杀,我们不会处于下风。” At this time, the messengers of eighth regiment caught up, reported to him: The regiment formation had finished. 这时,第八军团的传令兵赶来,向他汇报:军团已经列阵完毕。 Leotychides looks the left side immediately, the sound of shouting in confusion was still unceasing, unavoidably was somewhat discontented: „Immediately sends people to urge that the Gela person and Camarina person, picks up the formation speed!” 列奥提齐德斯立刻回望左侧,吵嚷之声仍是不断,不免有些不满:“立刻派人去催促杰拉人和卡曼利纳人,加快列阵的速度！” Then, he transfers the horse's head, across a army slit, returns to the center rear area. 说完,他调转马头,穿过军阵的缝隙,回到中路的后方。 „! After......” more than ten minutes, the Theonia allied armies sounded the attack bugle. “呜！……”十多分钟之后,戴奥尼亚联军吹响了进攻的号角。 Entire army starts to move slowly forward, but what the speed is fastest is the light infantry brigade of eighth regiment, they across the eighth regiment checking army slit, charge into opposite enemy in the loose formation, they must give the enemy's with the bow and arrow and javelin the 1st wave of attack, confuses the formation of enemy, overcomes the victory for the attack of following heavy infantry the upholstery. 整个军阵开始缓缓向前移动,而速度最快的是第八军团的轻步兵大队,他们穿过第八军团棋盘格军阵的缝隙,以松散的队形冲向对面的敌人,他们要用弓箭和标枪给予敌人第一波的打击,搅乱敌人的阵型,为接下来重步兵的进攻打下胜利的铺垫。 Hasdrubal the Fair and Kiess had understood Theonia past war advantage, to Theonia the set of heavy infantry tactical rules is to naturally know, when sees the eighth regiment of black helmet and black armor situated in oneself left flank opposite, they had the protection, after the eighth regiment light infantry brigade runs out of army, letting of Kiess correspondence has also sent out in the army that behind left flank waited. 哈斯德鲁巴和基斯戈了解过戴奥尼亚以往的战利,对戴奥尼亚的这一套重步兵战法自然是知道的,当看到黑盔、黑甲的第八军团处于自己左翼的对面时,他们就有了防备,所以当第八军团轻步兵大队冲出军阵后,基斯戈也对应的让早就在左翼后方等待的军队出动。 This army about 1700 people, including 500 people are to wear Luthy Tanja javelin of black robe, what they grasp is a javelin of belt/bring hook, after this javelin stabbing human body, drew out very much difficultly, therefore Luthy Tanja javelin made one become angry while talking about it in Iberia. 这支军队大约有1700人,其中有500人是身穿黑袍的卢西塔尼亚标枪手,他们手持的是一种带钩的标枪,这种标枪刺中人体后,很难被拔出,因此卢西塔尼亚标枪手在伊比利亚令人谈之色变。 But follows to wear the white unpadded garment in their behind 1200 soldiers, the waist is a heavy cloth sack, is hanging a dagger, has not worn the helmet, has not worn the armor, even also light both feet, but in the hand takes one with the stone rope that the wool and flax mix knitting becomes......, they are the stone soldiers, stone soldier from Balearic Islands. 而跟在他们身后的1200名士兵身穿白色单衣,腰间系着一个沉甸甸的布袋,挂着一把匕首,没戴头盔,也没穿盔甲,甚至还光着双脚,只是手里拿着一个用羊毛和亚麻混合编织而成的投石索……是的,他们是投石兵,来自巴利阿里群岛的投石兵。 Balearic Islands is west in Mediterranean approaches a series of islands of Iberia peninsula east coast, the resident on this/should island until now has the tradition of training stone soldier, the children undergo soldier's training since childhood, their mothers do not even give the child to eat the bread from the beginning, the goal of until him with the stone rope hitting the distant place for the 1st time. Lacking resources and commodity barren Baleares person to guard the security of islands with massive inexpensive stone soldiers, but has the resident of excellent stone technology also often to use this skill to gain the meat, the improvement life, for example hits the bird with the stone. 巴利阿里群岛是西地中海中靠近伊比利亚半岛东海岸的一系列岛屿,该岛上的居民一直以来就有培养投石兵的传统,孩子们从小就接受士兵的训练,他们的母亲甚至一开始不给孩子吃面包,直到他第一次用投石索击中远处的目标。缺乏资源、物资贫瘠的巴利阿里人用大量廉价的投石兵来捍卫岛屿的安全,而拥有高超投石技术的居民也经常使用这一技能来获取肉食,改善生活,比如用投石来打鸟。 Magon occupies south Iberia( is mainly southeast), happen to adjoins with Balearic Islands, he uses for the way that Baleares person provides the sufficient grain, obtained giving loyalty to of Baleares person, in going on an expedition the Iberia process, Baleares stone soldier played a big role. These went on an expedition Sicily time, Magon brought 1500 Baleares stone soldiers. 玛哥占据伊比利亚南部(主要是东南),正好与巴利阿里群岛毗邻,他用为巴利阿里人提供充足粮食的方式,获得了巴利阿里人的效忠,在征战伊比利亚的过程中,巴利阿里投石兵发挥了不小的作用。这一次征战西西里,玛哥带来了1500名巴利阿里投石兵。 After Baleares person goes out of army, stopped the advance, they put in the hand the cloth sack of waist, the cloth sack was divided into three standards, is laying aside three types of the lead shots of models respectively, they put out the lightest lead shot, puts in the cloth pouch of stone rope, then starts to wield it. 巴利阿里人走出军阵之后,就停止了前进,他们将手伸进腰间的布袋里,布袋被分成三格,分别放置着三种型号的铅丸,他们拿出最轻的铅丸,放入投石索的布兜中,然后开始挥动它。 Because the Theonia allied armies just started to go forward, after the eighth regiment light infantry brigade runs out of army, from opposite enemy still more than 400 meters away, therefore they are going forward fast, the formation has not dispersed completely, suddenly saw that in the slanting front sky flies dark clouds. 由于戴奥尼亚联军刚刚开始前进,第八军团轻步兵大队冲出军阵之后,距离对面的敌人尚有400多米远,所以他们在快速前进,队形还未完全散开,突然看到斜前方的上空中飞来一片乌云。 „Careful flying stone! Pays attention to protect the head!” The light infantry chief hissing shouted loudly, the complexion a little changed. “小心飞石！注意保护头部！”轻步兵大队长嘶声高喊,脸色都有点变了。 Under team officers' reminder, but also had never been attacked by the stone soldier the light infantries lower the head, both hands grasp the neck. Although the Theonia light infantry wears the unpadded garment, but provided skin Kui, after the lead shot falls, resounds one piece snort/hum the cry, but has not caused many casualties. 在队官们的提醒下,还从未被投石兵攻击过的轻步兵们纷纷低着头,双手抱住脖子。戴奥尼亚轻步兵虽然穿着单衣,但都配备了一顶皮盔,铅丸落下之后,响起一片哼叫声,但并没有造成多少伤亡。 „Picks up the speed! Approaches the enemy!” Under the team officers' reminder, was hit the light infantries who the body pains to pick up the speed of advance by the flying stone. “加快速度！逼近敌人！”在队官们的提醒下,被飞石打得身体隐隐作痛的轻步兵们加快了前进的速度。 During this process, they suffered several rounds lead shots, as a result of pulling closer of distance, Baleares stone soldier had first changed into medium-sized the small-sized lead shot, finally changes into the large size. 在此过程中,他们又挨了几轮的铅丸,由于距离的拉近,巴利阿里投石兵已经将小号铅丸先换成了中号,最后换成大号。 Because Luthy Tanja javelin had flushed, but the Theonia light infantries naturally must start to attack, therefore is impossible to cover the face with both hands again, this causes their injuries to soar, particularly the archers, because their firing distances are far, therefore becomes the target of Baleares stone soldier with emphasis attack. 由于卢西塔尼亚标枪手已经冲了上来,而戴奥尼亚轻步兵们当然也要开始攻击,所以不可能再用双手去遮挡面部,这导致他们的受伤直线上升,尤其是弓箭手们,由于他们的射程远,因此成为巴利阿里投石兵重点攻击的目标。 The archery is one needs the physical strength extremely the fine movement, it needs archer upper part most muscle coordination to catch up, can draw the full bowstring, projects the accurate powerful arrow arrow, but even if the lead shot has not hit the head, crushes and injures other body spots muscles and tendons, should still seriously affect the battle efficiency of archer. 射箭是一项极需体力的精细运动,它需要弓箭手上半身大部分肌肉协同发力,才能拉满弓弦,射出精准有力的箭矢,而铅丸就算没有击中头部,砸伤身体其他部位的肌肉和肌腱,也会严重影响弓箭手的战斗力。 Opposite does Carthaginians have the stone soldier?! The Leotychides hear the urgent report of mounted scout, in the heart is startled. 对面的迦太基人有投石兵？！列奥提齐德斯听完侦骑的紧急汇报,心中微惊。 „Commander Sir, this possibly was in the information has mentioned Baleares stone soldier!” Crue reminded. “指挥官大人,这可能就是情报中所提到过的巴利阿里投石兵了！”穆克鲁提醒道。 Before military affairs section, some information mentioned that „in the Magon Nummi Biya army has the Balearic Islands stone soldier to work for”. After the army but who this Magon leads lands Sicily, in Sellin Nuse's attacking a city, is to the sneak attack of Siculians , has not used this branch of the services for graciousness that for attacking a city of Gela, therefore Leotychides neglected its existence suddenly. 军务部以前就有情报提到“玛哥的努米比亚军队中有巴利阿里群岛的投石兵效力”。但这一次玛哥率领的大军登陆西西里之后,无论是在塞林努斯的攻城,还是对西凯尔人的偷袭,对恩那、对杰拉的攻城都没有使用过这一兵种,因此列奥提齐德斯一时间忽略了它的存在。 At this time, he issues the order immediately: „Makes the division trumpeters sound the to speed up bugle in right flank, lets the soldiers of eighth regiment as soon as possible with the enemy engagement, avoids being disrupted our lineups by the stone soldier!” 此时,他立刻下达命令:“让司号兵在右翼吹响加速前进的军号,让第八军团的士兵们尽快与敌人接战,避免被投石兵扰乱我们的阵型！” „Wū wū......” bugle in rear rapid resounding, hears the eighth regiment team of officers at all levels bugle call to instruct the colors that immediately the regiment and brigade flag will hold high wield repeatedly forward, the entire right flank soldier gradually picked up the speed of prompting forward. “呜呜呜……”军号在后方急促的响起,听到号声的第八军团各级队官立刻指示连队、大队旗标手将高举的军旗频频向前挥动,整个右翼的士兵逐渐加快了向前推进的速度。 The light infantry brigade is in an inferior position in the long-distance contest with opposite party, but they are still clenching teeth to support, as one in entire regiment, the light infantry team officers is very clear, they must for the rear heavy infantry ally buy time, the stone soldier who cannot let the opposite party be able to set aside the hand wantonly to attack phalanx of regiment. 轻步兵大队在与对方的远程较量中处于劣势,但他们还在咬牙支撑,作为整个军团中的一员,轻步兵队官们很清楚,他们必须为后方的重步兵战友赢得时间,不能让对方的投石兵能腾出手来肆意攻击军团的方阵。
