Regarding the Siprus ability, Davos does not doubt, therefore he raised selected one, then put aside the vision, looked to the front, tone heavy saying: „, In we march before the Carthage army, we with all will soon have an important matter to do with the soldier who the enemy will fight- will go to Palagonia, holds a memorial service and will salute perseveres the seventh regiment's first brigade and all soldiers of Catania who two preparation brigades the Palagonia city, and died in battle finally completely heroically tenaciously!” 对于西普洛斯的能力,戴弗斯毫不怀疑,因此他只是提点了一句,然后移开目光,看向前方,语气沉重的说道:“诸位,在我们向迦太基军队进军之前,我们和所有即将同敌人战斗的士兵有一件重要的事情要做-前往帕拉戈尼亚,去祭奠和致敬顽强坚守帕拉戈尼亚城、并最终全部英勇战死的第七军团第一大队和卡塔奈两个预备大队的所有士兵！” ............................................. ……………………………………… After the military conference ended, Davos keeps Siprus and Leotychides alone, extends sincere thanks to two people, thanked them unable to reinforce in the Theonia principal force the Sicily situation, lifted up the great task of defense alone, not only successfully resisted the invasion of Carthage army finally, guaranteed the completeness of Sicily territory, but also gave Carthaginians big killing, this exceeded the anticipation of Davos greatly. 军事会议结束之后,戴弗斯单独留下来西普洛斯和列奥提齐德斯,向两人致以诚挚的感谢,感谢他们在戴奥尼亚主力部队无法增援西西里的情况下,独自扛起了防御的重责,不但最终成功的抵御了迦太基大军的入侵,保证了西西里领地的完整,还给予了迦太基人不小的杀伤,这大大超出了戴弗斯的预期。 Facing praise that Davos never stints, modesty of very Siprus performance: „Our Sicily can persevere your majesty you to command troops finally the arrival, Sir Ploso Oursse the merit is biggest, if not he attacks decisively, routs Carthaginians in Heraclea Minoa, attacked and occupied Sellin Nuse, disrupted entire west-” 面对戴弗斯毫不吝惜的夸奖,西普洛斯表现的很谦虚:“我们西西里最终能够坚守到陛下您率兵到来,普洛索乌斯大人功劳最大,如果不是他果断出击,在米诺亚大败迦太基人,又攻占了塞林努斯,扰乱了整个西部-” Leotychides interposed: „Without Sir Siprus supports full power, I do not dare to command the army to attack rashly, particularly afterward the Carthage army invaded the Catania plain, depends entirely on the understanding and people in secure of Fucheng Sir Siprus, I can defend stubbornly Catania to today......” 列奥提齐德斯插话道:“如果没有西普洛斯大人全力的支持和保障,我是不敢冒然率军出击的,尤其是后来迦太基大军入侵了卡塔尼亚平原,全靠西普洛斯大人的理解和安抚城内的民众,我才能固守卡塔奈到今天……” Davos smile visits them, said: „Said that Ploso Oursse is inaccessible, is not good to do, I look at you to coordinate very well!” 戴弗斯微笑的看着他俩,说道:“都说普洛索乌斯难以接近,不好打交道,我看你们配合得很好嘛！” Siprus looked at Leotychides, argued for him: „Your majesty, everyone possibly has the misunderstanding, Sir Ploso Oursse does not love the human relations, because he concentrated on all energy to the military research.” 西普洛斯看了看列奥提齐德斯,为他辩解道:“陛下,大家可能对此有误解,普洛索乌斯大人不爱交际,只是因为他把所有的精力都投注到军事研究上了。” „This I know certainly.” Davos smiles, then takes advantage of opportunity the topic courses the following fight: „Regarding attacking Syracuse, what view you have?” “这我当然知道。”戴弗斯一笑,然后顺势将话题引向接下来的战斗:“对于进攻锡拉库扎,你们有什么看法？” Treated so many years in Catania, how Leotychides pondered certainly over in idle odd/surplus Shijian to attack this to have the close neighbors of several dispute with Catania, even also put on make-up to go south several times, the secret prospected Syracuse city garrison, after obtained the appointment of Davos a moment ago, he in the mind initially had formed in one's mind the attack plan, therefore he says immediately: „Your majesty, according to the past information, Syracuse at least can organize 20,000 people of armies, if defends a city, the number of soldier will be only more. However, Syracuse citizen insufficient military training, moreover more than ten years they have not basically gone through the big war , the insufficient fight experience, they do not dare to go out of town decisively with us battle, but will only defend a city. Although Syracuse city wall big firm, but I have the confidence to capture it-” 在卡塔奈待了这么多年,列奥提齐德斯当然在闲余时间琢磨过如何进攻这个与卡塔奈有过多次纠纷的近邻,甚至还几次化妆南下,秘密勘察锡拉库扎的城防,在刚才得到戴弗斯的任命之后,他在脑海里已经初步构思了进攻计划,因此他立刻说道:“陛下,根据以往的情报,锡拉库扎至少能够组织起2万人的军队,而如果是守城,士兵的数量只会更多。不过,锡拉库扎公民缺乏足够的军事训练,而且十多年来他们基本没有经历大的战争,也缺乏足够的战斗经验,他们断然不敢出城与我们交战,而只会守城。锡拉库扎城墙虽然高大坚固,但是我有信心将它攻下-” At this point, Leotychides then toward shouts in adjutant Gelug who out of the door waits for: „Goes to bring Syracuse city garrison chart in my room!” 说到这里,列奥提齐德斯回头朝在门外等候的副官塔格鲁喊道:“去把我房间里的锡拉库扎城防图拿来！” Sudden loud yelling of Leotychides in front of Davos, this behavior extremely disrespectful, but Davos does not care, he even stopped Henie Polis's exit|to speak reprimanding, earnest listening attentively has indulged young commander narration during ponder. 列奥提齐德斯在戴弗斯面前突然的大声叫喊,这种行为是极其的失礼,但戴弗斯并不在意,他甚至制止了赫尼波里斯的出口斥责,认真的倾听已经沉溺在思考之中的年轻指挥官的讲述。 „Because your majesty you will lead the army to go to the west and Carthaginians battle, east here did not have the threat of Carthaginians temporarily, in addition now is the slack farming season season, we can, even in Agrigento, Gela and other fleeing from calamity people call more manpower from Naxos and Cooley, Catania, Leontium, Tyndaris, Siculians, nearby participation to Syracuse besieges......” “由于陛下您将率军队前往西部与迦太基人作战,东部这边暂时没有了迦太基人的威胁,再加上现在又是农闲时节,我们可以从纳克索斯、西库利、卡塔奈、列奥提尼、陶尼斯、西凯尔人、甚至阿格里真托、杰拉等逃难民众中召集更多的人手,就近参与对锡拉库扎的围攻……” Leotychides was telling incessantly when own idea, Gelug brings the plank map, he places on it the table immediately, is pointing above, said: „ Your majesty please looks! Syracuse is a big city, the city area is very big, its city wall length is also big, but there is a larger part to construct in the coast and in the hill, suits mainly has two that truly the army attacks a city. One is the east city wall, is mainly is away from Tyndaris not far Luck Salmen and nearby wall section, this length has about one li (0.5 km) many ; Another in the west city wall, from Poos Carmen to south to the Syracuse main Port, this length about four li (0.5 km) many...... 列奥提齐德斯正滔滔不绝的讲述自己的想法之时,塔格鲁已经将木板地图拿来,他立刻将其放在桌上,指着上面,说道:“陛下请看！锡拉库扎是个大城,城区面积很大,它的城墙长度也不小,不过有一大半建造在海岸和山丘之中,真正适合大军攻城的主要有两段。一段是东面的城墙,主要是距离陶尼斯不远的赫克萨门及其附近的墙段,这个长度大约有一里多;另一段是在西面城墙,从普斯卡门向南到锡拉库扎主港,这个长度大约四里多…… The attacking a city plan that I conceive is...... to pitch camp by the principal force that the seventh, eighth regiment composes here- ” on Leotychides hand direction map Syracuse city west and flat terrain between Poos rivers. 我设想的攻城计划是……以第七、第八军团组成的主力部队在这里扎营-”列奥提齐德斯的手指向地图上锡拉库扎城西与阿拉普斯河之间的平坦地带。 „Nearby that has Lyssy beautiful swamp! Very easy to make the soldiers have the epidemic disease!” Similarly approaches looked that the map the Siprus complexion changes, reminded loudly: „Must know that the beforehand Carthage army overruns to under the Syracuse city twice, because by suffering of plague, was eventually caused the disastrous defeat.” “那附近可是有吕西美莱沼泽！很容易让士兵们染上疫病！”同样凑近看地图的西普洛斯脸色一变,大声提醒道:“要知道以前迦太基的军队两次攻到锡拉库扎城下,都因为受瘟疫的折磨,最终导致惨败。” „I know certainly Lyssy beautiful swamp the danger.” Leotychides confident explanation: „Now to November, the weather has started to transfer quickly coolly, the mosquito has reduced. Moreover for these years Syracuse civilians unceasing develops the swamp, its area already 10 years ago small many. Let alone, specially how our regiment soldiers have in the daily military training in view of process this type of bad-land the building camp to train, I will think it not to the army stationed in causing what problem!......” “我当然知道吕西美莱沼泽的危险。”列奥提齐德斯胸有成竹的解释道:“现在已快到11月,天气开始转凉,蚊虫已经减少。而且这几年锡拉库扎的平民不断的对沼泽进行开发,其面积已经比十年前小了不少。何况,我们的军团士兵在日常的军事训练中专门有针对如何处理这种恶劣地形的筑营训练,我想它不会对军队的驻扎造成什么问题！……” Davos hears here, before remembering, he when the Samnium combat report that Rome receives: Alexius leads the army to enter the mountainous area, similarly is also stationed near the swamp, has not had any big problem. 戴弗斯听到这里,想起了之前他在罗马时收到的萨莫奈战报:阿莱克西斯率领军队进入山区,同样也是在沼泽附近驻扎,并没有出现什么大的问题。 Therefore, saying that he approves of: „So long as you prepare fully, I think that the army is stationed should not be the issue here, you continued downward.” 所以,他赞同的说道:“只要你们准备充分,我想军队在这里驻扎应该不是问题,你继续往下说。” „Another army comprised of some preparation soldiers, allied countries and the ally soldiers our Sicily territory, nearby Tyndaris, according to the treaty of alliance, such a composite troops his commander must have Theonia general to hold the post, but present high-level general basically have the appointment respectively, to guarantee the Syracuse east attack can very good conducts, I think......” Leotychides rare hesitated: „Can let lay mines Lu to hold the post of this duty temporarily?” “由我们西西里领地的部分预备士兵、盟邦和友邦士兵组成的另一支军队,则驻扎在陶尼斯附近,按照盟约,这样的一支混合部队其指挥官必须有戴奥尼亚将领担任,而现在的高级将领们基本都各有任命,为了保证锡拉库扎东面的进攻能够很好的进行,我想……”列奥提齐德斯难得的迟疑了一下:“能不能让布雷鲁暂时担任这个职务？” His saying exits, Davos and Siprus are surprised. 他这话出口,戴弗斯和西普洛斯都感到吃惊。 Davos quite had to look at him who meant, thought: Said that Ploso Oursse is indifferent, never expected that he also very has the touch of humanity, wants to take this opportunity to let lay mines Lu to render meritorious service, reduces the people to his accusation, so that after the war ended can reduce the penalty. 戴弗斯颇有意味的看了看他,心想:都说普洛索乌斯冷漠,没想到他还挺有人情味,想利用这个机会让布雷鲁立功,减少民众对他的指责,以便在战争结束后能够减轻惩罚。 Was gazing by Davos like this, some Leotychides slightly non- natures, he put forward this proposal, on the one hand for need of following fight, what was more important makes up for the compunction in his heart, because in this military conference he realized suddenly: In situation that in the Carthage army threatens the border, whoever is in lays mines Lu's that position, faced with the same difficult position, will lay mines Lu to lead the seventh regiment to help, withstood/top this vat for him exactly. 被戴弗斯这样注视着,列奥提齐德斯略微有些不自然,他之所以提出这个建议,一方面是为了接下来战斗的需要,更重要的是弥补他心中的内疚,因为在这场军事会议中他突然意识到:在迦太基大军压境的情况下,无论谁处于布雷鲁的那个位置,都会面临相同的困境,布雷鲁率领第七军团来援,恰好替他顶了这个缸而已。 Davos coughed: „You want to help Brehm's mood, I can understand. But if makes him lead, will make everyone feel puzzled, then the beforehand penalty did not have the significance, therefore I cannot agree. The east army commander can hold the post by Xanticles, he leads the mix army to attack and capture the Samnium cities in Campania several times, regarding this should have a big experience. During attacking Syracuse, you carry out the seventh regiment legatus duty for him temporarily.” 戴弗斯干咳了一声:“你想要帮助布雷姆的心情,我能够理解。但是如果让他领军,会让大家感到困惑,那么之前的惩罚就没有了意义,所以我不能同意。东面军队指挥官可以由赞提帕里斯担任,他在坎帕尼亚几次率领混合军队攻克萨莫奈城镇,对此应该有不小的经验。在攻打锡拉库扎期间,你暂时替他履行第七军团军团长的职务。” „Yes.” Leotychides look invariable complied with one , to continue saying: „I heard when your majesty commands the army to land Catania, in team also comprised of the engineer and artisan of superb skill, several hundred people of engineering teams, I hope that your majesty you can make this team assist us, makes various types of attacking a city instruments, reduces difficulty that the soldiers attack a city, thus brings a more tremendous pressure on the Syracuse person.” “是。”列奥提齐德斯神色不变的应了一声,继续说道:“我听说陛下率军登陆卡塔奈时,队伍中还有一支由工程师和技艺高超的匠人组成的、几百人的工程团队,我希望陛下您能让这支队伍协助我们,制造各种攻城器械,减轻士兵们攻城的难度,从而给锡拉库扎人施加更大的压力。” „This naturally does not have the issue.” The Davos very simple nod complies, then asked one: „Center of gravity that you attack centralized in these two wall sections, but won't perhaps neglect to the other wall sections of Syracuse city?” “这当然没问题。”戴弗斯很干脆的点头答应,然后问了一句:“你进攻的重心集中在这两个墙段,但恐怕不会忽略对锡拉库扎城的其它墙段吧？” Is the star of being ever-victorious, the feeling is quite worthily keen! In the Leotychides heart changes mind, immediately said: „In the city wall except for coast, other wall sections constructs above the high ground, the attack is relatively more difficult, but I will also send out the soldier to launch the attack, disperses the military of Syracuse person, simultaneously confuses them......” 不愧是百战百胜的名将,感觉相当敏锐！列奥提齐德斯心中一转念,随即说道:“除了海岸上的城墙,其他墙段都建造在高地之上,进攻相对困难一些,但我也会派出士兵发起进攻,分散锡拉库扎人的兵力,同时迷惑他们……” On the map, Syracuse eastern and western two city walls along the edge of Hepie Vorley high ground, north diagonal of winding extend, and converges finally in together, seems like a top hat, but the hand of Leotychides is aiming at both sides city wall connection the place, his sinking sound said: „ It is said besieging of Athens to Syracuse, the Syracuse person realized in the past cannot make the enemy seize the commanding point of city- Hepie Vorley high ground, therefore after Dionysius becomes oversteps authority main, the mobilization Syracuse people, the entire Hepie Vorley high ground with the city wall surround, becomes part of city, but this city highest place here- west superior Syria Luse mountain peak. 在地图上,锡拉库扎东、西两段的城墙沿着埃皮波莱高地的边缘,蜿蜒的斜向北面延伸,并最终汇合在一起,看起来就像是一顶尖帽子,而列奥提齐德斯的手正指向两端城墙交汇的地方,他沉声说道:“据说正是当年雅典对锡拉库扎的围攻,锡拉库扎人意识到了决不能让敌人占领城市的制高点-埃皮波莱高地,因此狄奥尼修斯当上僭主之后,就动员锡拉库扎民众,将整个埃皮波莱高地用城墙包围起来,成为城区的一部分,而这一片城区最高的地方在这里-优里亚鲁斯山峰西侧。 Dionysius called here Hepie Vorley and entire Syracuse city ‚key’, therefore he also constructed a fortress initially here. However Hepie Vorley area was under-populated, but here is unpopulated, because it is away from the Syracuse main city to have 5 and 6 li (0.5 km) road, the transportation is inconvenient, although Dionysius thinks that its position is very important, but these years never have the enemy to attack here, the Syracuse person as if not attach great importance. 狄奥尼修斯称这里为埃皮波莱和整个锡拉库扎城的‘钥匙’,所以当初他还在这里建了一座堡垒。但是埃皮波莱地区本就人口稀少,而这里更是无人居住,因为它距离锡拉库扎主城区有五、六里路,交通非常不便,虽然狄奥尼修斯认为它位置很重要,但是这些年来从来没有敌人进攻过这里,锡拉库扎人似乎对它并不重视。 I had investigated here several times carefully, the city wall many years of Yuliya Luse Shanxi side are in bad repair, the sentry quantity in city never over 10 people, moreover these sentry many stay in the fortress, rarely the fixed time patrol entire wall section, their city wall defense to this section is very it seems like confident. But in fact Yuliya Luse's west altitude not over 200 meters, moreover is not difficult to climb up- ” 我曾经几次仔细探查过这里,尤里亚鲁斯山西侧的城墙多年失修,城上的哨兵数量从未超过十人,而且这些哨兵多数都呆在堡垒里,很少定时的巡逻整个墙段,看来他们对这个地段的城墙防御很有信心。但事实上尤里亚鲁斯西侧的高度不超过200米,而且并不难攀爬-”
