„Sir, his time seems like for other matter.” Gelug said in a soft voice. “大人,他这次来似乎是为了别的事。”塔格鲁轻声说道。 „That makes him come.” Leotychides rubs the eyes, the facial expression has not actually relaxed. “那就让他进来吧。”列奥提齐德斯揉了揉眼睛,神情却一点也没有放松。 Therefore Axite Meese just cross passed through the gate, he warned beforehand: „I hope that you do not come to discuss with me matter that the cavalry attacks, I have told you, now also not when the time comes.” 所以阿西特米斯刚跨进门,他就事先警告道:“我希望你不是来跟我谈骑兵出击的事,我已经跟你说过了,现在还不到时候。” „Commander Sir.” Axite Meese stares, explained busily: „I think means that reduces the Carthage cavalry to threaten.” “指挥官大人。”阿西特米斯一愣,忙解释道:“我想到了一个减小迦太基骑兵威胁的办法。” Leotychides has turned the head finally, looks to him, asked: „What means?” 列奥提齐德斯终于转过头,看向他,问道:“什么办法？” Axite Meese's earnest saying: „Commander Sir, Carthage cavalry huge quantity, but mostly is Nummi Biya cavalry. As far as I know, the horses that these Nummi Biya people ride are diminutive, but running strength, moreover their also characteristics, can poverty, light/only eats the fodder to be able their animal transport Nummi Biya to battle, but they must result in the unceasing feed......” 阿西特米斯认真的说道:“指挥官大人,迦太基骑兵数量庞大,但大多都是努米比亚骑兵。据我所知,这些努米比亚人骑乘的马匹矮小,但是奔跑力强,而且它们还有一个特点,就是较能忍饥挨饿,光吃草料就能让它们驮载努米比亚人作战,不过它们必须得不断的进食……” In the Leotychides heart moves, is stretching the body forward slightly forward, asked: „Is your meaning?” 列奥提齐德斯心中一动,微微向前探着身子,问道:“你的意思是？” Axite Meese saw this temperament not good commander to come the interest, immediately the spirit inspired, the spoken language also became more fluent: „Carthaginians spreads several thousand cavalries on our Catania plains, perhaps is not only destroys our villages, to camouflage our informers, to solve the food problems of these horses. The present is autumn, the green grass of ground has started withered and yellow, since Carthaginians has burnt down our village, we can also taking advantage of the night, feel relieved that the weeds on bold burning down plain, such Carthage cavalry do not dare to move on the plain are so frequent.” 阿西特米斯见这位脾气不好的指挥官来了兴趣,顿时精神一振,言语也变得更加流利:“迦太基人将几千名骑兵散布在我们的卡塔尼亚平原上,恐怕不光是毁坏我们的村庄、遮蔽我们的耳目,同时也是为了解决这些马匹的食物问题。现在是秋天,地上的青草已经开始枯黄,既然迦太基人已经焚烧了我们的村庄,我们还可以借着黑夜,放心大胆的烧掉平原上的野草,这样迦太基骑兵就不敢在平原上活动如此频繁了。” „Burnt down the grass on entire plain......” Leotychides to hesitate some little time, hesitated was saying: „Axite Meese, you are the Catania person, should very familiar here situation, even if this plain were burnt none, so long as there are one and two rain, on this land quick can grow the grass.” “烧掉整个平原上的草啊……”列奥提齐德斯沉吟了好一会,犹豫着说道:“阿西特米斯,你是卡塔奈人,应该很熟悉这里的情况,就算这平原被烧得精光,只要有一、两场雨,这土地上很快就能长出草来。” „But Catania September and October rarely rains.” Axite Meese had considered obviously this issue, he rapidly answered. “但是卡塔奈的九、十月份是很少下雨的。”阿西特米斯显然考虑过这个问题,他迅速的做出了回答。 Leotychides also made quickly decided: „Gelug, you goes to invite Siprus immediately, I need to discuss with him.” 列奥提齐德斯也很快做出了决定:“塔格鲁,你立刻去将西普洛斯请来,我需要和他商议一下。” „Yes, Sir.” Gelug runs immediately, because shortly after Siprus just walked, should be able to intercept it on the road, runs in his heart thinks: But Siprus Governor Sicily, others are broad-minded, discussed the issue each time on own initiative, felt that commander Sir as if became accustomed, shouted to shout to Siprus, this was not the good deed, then must find the opportunity to remind him! “是,大人。”塔格鲁立刻跑了出去,因为西普洛斯刚走不久,应该能够在路上将其截住,边跑他心中边想:西普洛斯可是西西里总督,人家心胸开阔,每次都是主动来谈论问题,感觉指挥官大人似乎对此习以为常,对西普洛斯呼来喊去的,这可不是什么好事,回头得找机会提醒他！ In the kitchen, Leotychides is gazing at the map, muttered said: „Although does not know this method really effective, but must try to know, even now the situation is very disadvantageous to us, we should not lose the confidence, must try hard to look for the opportunity......” 在厨房里,列奥提齐德斯注视着地图,喃喃说道:“虽然不知道这方法是不是真的管用,但总得要试一试才知道,即使现在局势对我们很不利,我们也不应该失去信心,要努力的寻找机会……” „Right that commander Sir, you said!” “指挥官大人,你说的对！” ................................................ ………………………………………… The goal that such that just like Leotychides analyzes, Magon will truly attack aimed at Palagonia. 正如列奥提齐德斯所分析的那样,玛哥确实将进攻的目标对准了帕拉戈尼亚。 The defense of northern Palagonia is also strict, but compares the topography to be open with south, benefits expansion of army. 帕拉戈尼亚北面的防御同样严密,但是和南面相比地势开阔,有利于军队的展开。 Before Magon absorbed, in some lessons of south attack fail, when building the camp orders the engineers to start to assemble the crossbow artillery, after issuing order of attack, dozens crossbow artillery start to shell the sentry post building in trap region. 玛哥吸取了之前在南面进攻失败的一些教训,在修筑营地时就命令工程师们开始组装弩炮,在下达攻击的命令之后,几十架弩炮就开始轰击陷阱地带里的哨楼。 Meanwhile, he also orders tens of thousands the Nummi Biya infantry who is formed by Carthage to excavate earth completely, because Palagonia is located in the foot, the soil texture is hard, the soldiers have to arrive at far place excavation soil, then transports, northern Palagonia, no matter any trap, the trench disposes completely, spread a channel of broad security. In cleaning up surrounding in period, to prevent the enemy goes out of town the sneak attack, he by oneself elite army in front formation, was also prepared to attack at any time. 同时,他还命令几万名由迦太基组建的努米比亚步兵全部去挖土,由于帕拉戈尼亚位于山脚,土质较硬,士兵们不得不到较远的地方挖掘泥土,然后再运送过来,将帕拉戈尼亚北面不管是任何陷阱、还是壕沟全部填埋,铺出了一条宽阔安全的通道。在清理外围的期间里,为了防止敌人出城偷袭,他还让自己的精锐部队在前方列阵,随时准备出击。 Moreover, he also reassigned guarding in the Gela 10,000 soldiers, making Carthage camp soldiers increase to 60,000 people, to guarantee that he has the sufficient military, while attacking Palagonia, can defend and attack of Theonia Xinjunying from Leontium simultaneously. 而且,他还抽调了驻守在杰拉的1万名士兵,使得迦太基营地的士兵人数增加至6万人,以保证他有充足的兵力,在进攻帕拉戈尼亚的同时,也能同时防御来自列奥提尼和戴奥尼亚新军营的攻击。 Although the garrison troops had not stopped making a harassing attack, but the casualties of Carthage soldier are not big, the morale obtained maintained, but attacked a city the speed of Palagonia surrounding, although was slow, has actually been prompting forward with steady steps. 虽然守军一直没有停止袭扰,但迦太基士兵的伤亡并不大,士气得到了保持,而攻城帕拉戈尼亚外围的速度虽然缓慢,却一直在稳步向前推进。 Three days later, the Carthage army advances to away the city in hundred meters, forcing the Theonia garrison troops to return to the city in completely, no longer attacks. 三天之后,迦太基军队推进到距城百米之内,迫使戴奥尼亚守军全部退回到城内,不再出击。 Magon can near finally observes this to make many troublesome small towns to him, after surrounding it walked the big half-turn, he is big feeling surprise: „Is this village in Syracuse population?!” 玛哥终于能够抵近观察这座给他制造了不少麻烦的小城,在环绕它走了大半圈之后,他不禁大感诧异:“这就是锡拉库扎人口中的村庄？！” Nearby adjutant explained: „Sir, I remember that the Syracuse person said before Palagonia, is a village, since several months ago, after the Theonia army enters Palagonia, migrated the villagers, forbids anybody close to here, they do not know that what kind of situation the present Palagonia is.” 旁边的副官解释道:“大人,我记得锡拉库扎人只是说帕拉戈尼亚以前是个村庄,自从几个月前,戴奥尼亚军队进驻帕拉戈尼亚、迁移了村民之后,就禁止任何人靠近这里,他们也不知道现在的帕拉戈尼亚是怎样的情况。” Magon shot a look at his one eyes slantingly, said one: „You pour will get free for the Syracuse person very much.” 玛哥斜瞥了他一眼,说了一句:“你倒很会替锡拉库扎人开脱。” The adjutant frightened again does not dare to speak. 副官吓得不敢再说话了。 Magon is staring at the front Palagonia: Is standing erect city of the white in the dense and numerous abatis, its area is not big, but the shape has actually seen in Magon the city is different, it has about four meters high city wall encirclement, in this city wall has many prominent circular wall towers, making one feel what was surprised was in this city wall actually one is higher than the city wall 2-3 meters circular construction, seemed in a great-circle the set a concentric small circle. 玛哥凝望着前方的帕拉戈尼亚:在密密麻麻的鹿砦之中竖立着一座白色之城,它的面积并不大,但是形状却于玛哥所见过的城池都不同,它有一个大约四米多高的城墙环绕,这城墙中有多个突出的圆形壁塔,令人感到惊奇的是这城墙之内却有一个高出城墙2-3米的圆形建筑,仿佛是一个大圆中套着一个同心的小圆。 Although Magon has never attacked such strange city, but based on the experience of his many years of expedition, he also had a premonition that this Palagonia small town is somewhat unusual, subconscious urges on a horse proceeds, wants to observe is more careful. 玛哥虽然从未攻打过这样奇怪的城池,但凭他多年征战的经验,他也预感到这个帕拉戈尼亚小城有些不同寻常,下意识的驱马往前,想观察得更仔细些。 The guard who suddenly hears about urgently shouted: „Sir, be careful!” 突然听到左右的卫兵急喊:“大人,小心！” Sees only the front in the air to present several sunspots suddenly, comes. 只见前方空中陡然出现几个黑点,呼啸而来。 Magon hurries to clamp the barrel, however the crotch warhorse has not actually moved, guard quickly the lance thorn to its buttocks, the warhorse neighed to flee, nearly fell Magon. 玛哥慌忙夹紧马腹,然而胯下战马却没有动,身旁的卫兵急忙将长矛刺向它的臀部,战马嘶叫着窜了出去,险些将玛哥摔下地。 At this time, several marbles have pounded to fall, immediately resounds several sad and shrill pitiful yells, in surrounding one covered with blood that Magon stood a moment ago. 这时,几颗石弹已经砸落下来,立刻响起几声凄厉的惨叫,就在玛哥刚才站立的周围一片血肉模糊。 Brother Ma controls the good warhorse with great difficulty, turns around returns late, sees this scene, frowns to say?: „Round trip removes.” 马哥好不容易控制好战马,掉头迟回,看到这个场面,皱起眉头说道？:“往回撤。” In process that in returning removes, he has not forgotten to ask the adjutant: „Where do the marbles of enemy send?” 在回撤的过程中,他还不忘问副官:“敌人的石弹是从哪里发出来的？” The adjutant shakes the head to express has not seen clearly, Magon stared his one eyes again: Even if this young adjutant is Magonid virtue family's one, at this time he still exuded to replace his thought. 副官摇头表示没看清,玛哥再次瞪了他一眼:即使这个年轻的副官是马戈尼德家族的一员,此时他不禁也泛起了想要换掉他的念头。 „Sir, probably...... seems like from the city shoots.” A guard said. “大人,好像……好像是从城上射出来的。”一名卫兵说道。 Magon stares, asks: „Do you determine from the city rather than from the city?” 玛哥一愣,问道:“你确定是从城上而不是从城内？” „Sir, I also saw, truly sends out from the city.” Another soldier said. “大人,我也看到了,确实是从城上发出的。”另一名士兵接话道。 Magon holds on horse reins/bridle, turns around marbles that looks at the ground to stain the bloodstain, looks up to the front Palagonia city wall, at this moment there slightly sound, however the Magon facial expression actually has not become serious. 玛哥拉住马缰,转身看着地上沾满血迹的石弹,又抬头望向前方的帕拉戈尼亚城墙,此刻那里没有丝毫动静,但是玛哥的神情却变得严肃起来。 At this time, to the Magon Palagonia city wall wall tower, is wearing to decorate purple capstring the Theonia team officer of helmet to bend the waist, among the slit by embattlements looks out. 此时,在正对玛哥的帕拉戈尼亚城墙壁塔上,一位头戴缀有紫色帽缨的头盔的戴奥尼亚队官正弯着腰,透过城垛间的缝隙向外眺望。 „Plays well, the point of descent of marbles is very accurate, what a pity made that big fellow run!” He somewhat regrettable turning round said. “打得不错,石弹的落点还挺准,可惜让那个大家伙跑了！”他有些遗憾的回身说道。 „Chief, needs us to continue to launch?” Observation and sighting of crossbow artillery asked. “大队长,需要我们继续发射吗？”弩炮的观瞄手问道。 10 years ago, observation and sighting of Theonia crossbow artillery is by the students of Theonia academy number school specially, is responsible for providing the launch parameter and correction trajectory by them. 10 years passed by, so long as observation and sighting of Theonia crossbow artillery is various Theonia city schools graduates, the mathematical good citizen to hold the post normally, this is because result that the popularization and crossbow that artillery educates improves. 在十年前,戴奥尼亚弩炮的观瞄手还是专门由戴奥尼亚学园数学院的学生担任,由他们来负责提供发射参数、矫正弹道。十年过去了,戴奥尼亚弩炮的观瞄手只要是戴奥尼亚各城市学校正常毕业、数学较好的公民就可以担任,这是因为教育的普及和弩炮改进的结果。 This chief shakes the head saying: „He has a vigilance, wants to attack again is impossible, do not waste the marbles, when the enemy attacks a city, may have you to be busy.” 这位大队长摇头说道:“他已经有所警觉,再想突袭是不可能了,别浪费石弹,等敌人攻城的时候,可有你们忙的。” „Chief, you feel relieved. Couple days ago, the Carthage crossbow artillery was very wild, wrecked our many sentry post buildings, now should be one's turn us to assume an awe-inspiring pose!” “大队长,你就放心吧。前几天,迦太基的弩炮很猖狂,击毁了我们多座哨楼,现在该轮到我们发威了！” Finishing speaking of observation and sighting, nearby abdomen bow shooter also says immediately: „Right, so long as the Carthage crossbow artillery dares to enter our firing distances, we can destroy it!” 观瞄手的话音刚落,旁边的腹弓射手也立刻说道:“没错,只要迦太基弩炮敢进入我们的射程,我们就能将它摧毁！” Their words caused positive of surrounding soldier should with. 他俩的话引起了周围士兵的积极应和。 This chief can also maintain the so exuberant fighting spirit to be satisfied in the situation of facing the Carthage army besieging a city for the soldiers. Naturally, his very clear soldiers self-confident source came from this city mainly. 这位大队长为士兵们在面临迦太基大军围城的情况下还能保持如此旺盛的斗志而感到满意。当然,他心里很清楚士兵们自信的源泉主要来自于这座城。 Palagonia six months ago was one, only then the villages of a small number of residents, when Leotychides decided took it as resists the front foothold of Carthage army, he merely based on this village has not reinforced the fence, the excavation trench and arrangement trap, but was captures the village thoroughly, constructed a fort. 帕拉戈尼亚半年前还是一座只有少数居民的村庄,当列奥提齐德斯决定将其作为抵御迦太基军队的前沿据点时,他并没有仅仅是在这个村庄的基础上加固围墙、挖掘壕沟、布置陷阱,而是彻底将村庄拔掉,修建了一座要塞。 The research and improvement of military affairs department's regarding Theonia military technology has been in progress, in recent years under the inspiration of King Davos, the engineers of military affairs section designed a new defense city stopper, and utilizes usually various military compounds training projects it- during builds the city and attack and defense trains, Leotychides deeply feels powerful that it defends, therefore decides to utilize it in the actual combat. 军务部对于戴奥尼亚军事技术的研究和改进一直都在进行中,近几年在戴弗斯国王的启迪下,军务部的工程师们设计了一种新的防御城塞,并且将它运用到平时各军营的训练项目-修筑城池和攻防演练之中,列奥提齐德斯深感它防御的强悍,因此决定将它运用在实战之中。 He not only gathered the eighth regiment soldier, but also asked Siprus to mobilize the Catania people, tens of thousands people of one after another work, with Palagonia ready-made stone brick and wood/blockhead, with the Mount Etna grey burn a lot of stone material that „the Davos cement”, in addition Naxos provided( Naxos had quarry close to the Tauromenion place), a lot of lumber that Hadji Lihons provided...... 他不但集合了第八军团士兵,而且请西普洛斯动员了卡塔奈的民众,几万人轮番作业,用帕拉戈尼亚现成的石砖和木头,用埃特纳火山灰烧制的“戴弗斯水泥”,再加上纳克索斯提供的大量石料(纳克索斯靠近陶罗美尼昂的地方有石矿),赫那、阿吉利翁提供的大量木料……
