ButnowwhatIam worriedis the Theoniaarmycanwhilethisopportunity, launches the attacktousagain.”
“不,不要再派兵去了!”之前一直在袖手旁观的法莱库斯说话了:“尤里亚鲁斯堡垒那里的地形狭窄,兵力再多也无法展开,何况从现在的情况来看,戴奥尼亚人攻占堡垒的人数应该并不多,只要斯泰西科斯能够率队及时赶到,完全有机会将它夺回。而我现在担心的是戴奥尼亚军队会不会趁着这个机会,向我们再发起进攻。”Everyonehearsthissaying, in the heartshakes.
所有人听到这话,都心中一震。„What happened?!”LastSyracuseGeneralShickTassalsorushed.
“发生了什么事?!”最后一名锡拉库扎将军希克塔斯也赶到了。„Youalwayscomelate!”CoochYasminknows that ShickTasslives in the harbor, is farthestfrom the powwow, cannot bearcomplain: „Reallywaits forSyracuseto have an accident, your generalcanadd onwhatbusy!”
“你总是来得最晚!”库奇亚斯明知道希克塔斯家住港口,距离议事会最远,还是忍不住抱怨道:“真等锡拉库扎出了事,你这个将军能帮上什么忙!”Reasonably, ShickTasshas been used tohiscolleagueto speakwithhimbysuchtone, but when for these daysheheard these words not of pleasant to hear, alwaysfeltat heartsomewhatunusually, becamesome is not unattractivelikehiscomplexionat this moment.
按理,希克塔斯早已习惯了他的同僚以这样的口吻同他说话,但是这几天当他听到这些不好听的话时,心里总感到有些异样,就像此刻他的脸色变得有些不好看。Shall be grateful as a personal favorsafeflatterrootNiceis busy atsaying: „YuliyaLusefortresswas attacked and occupiedbyTheonian, wewere discussing that recaptureshim.”
感同身受的泰阿根尼斯忙说道:“尤里亚鲁斯堡垒被戴奥尼亚人攻占了,我们正在商议将他夺回。”„!”ShickTasslooksastonishedly, has not spokenagain, in the heartis the mighty wavesis turbulent.
“啊!”希克塔斯面露惊异,没有再多说话,心中却是波涛汹涌。At this time, out of the doorhad the buglesoundto pass onfaintly.
这时,门外隐隐有军号声传进来。
The peopleare startled.
众人又是一惊。On the side ofCoochYaazslightlystartledshouting: „Isourbuglesounds! Has the enemy intelligence!”At the same time out the quick stepsgo out.
库奇亚斯一边略显惊慌的喊道:“是我们的军号声!有敌情!”一边疾步走出门外。After a while, hereturns to the hall, anxioussaying: „The sentryregistration of Western city, theydiscovered that the Theoniasoldier'slarge-scalebuilding upoutsidetheircamps, it seems like it is the preparationlaunches the attacktous!”
过了一会儿,他返回厅内,焦急的说道:“西城的哨兵报到,他们发现戴奥尼亚士兵正在他们的营地外大规模集结,看来是准备向我们发起进攻!”Everyoneis anxious.
所有人都紧张起来。„Igo toWestern citynow, the soldier who leads the military compoundorganizesto defend.”safeflatterrootNicerespondsimmediately: „The citizensoldier who PargnySousse, youwill mobilizeorganizesas soon as possible, makes the best use of the timeto reinforceWestern city.”
“我现在就去西城,率领军营的士兵组织防御。”泰阿根尼斯立刻作出回应:“帕尔尼苏斯,你将动员起来的公民兵尽快组织好,抓紧时间增援西城。”„Good!”PargnySoussealsofollowedsafeflatterrootNiceto have the hall.
“好的!”帕尔尼苏斯也跟着泰阿根尼斯出了大厅。„Ithink that today'sTheonian will also certainly also attackfrom the east side! CoochYaaz, youhurriesto be responsible fordefending the eastcitizento gather, hurries to the East citywallto defend.”FarletCoussealsoanxioussaying.
“我想今天的戴奥尼亚人一定也会从东面同时进攻!库奇亚斯,你赶紧去将负责防御东面的公民都集合起来,赶去东城墙上防御。”法莱库斯也急切的说道。CoochYaazis orderedto go.
库奇亚斯受命而去。„The citizensoldier who ShickTass, youleads the harborassumeshere, in the event of the unexpected situation , hurries to the supportimmediately!”FarletCoussecontinuesto issue the order.
“希克塔斯,你带领港口的公民兵坐镇这里,一旦出现意外情况,立刻赶去支援!”法莱库斯继续下达命令。Syracuseharbormostpeoplemainlyhold the post of the crew of fleet, butalsoextracted4000peopleto participate in the defense in city, becausetheirlifewas mostly exhausted, whatwere moreis the light infantry, nottoowell-respected.锡拉库扎港口大部分民众主要是担任舰队的船员,但也抽出了4000人参与城内的防御,由于他们大多生活困顿,更多的是担任轻步兵,并不太受重视。Hearsthisorder, suddenlyinShickTassheartthinksmany, does not have the promptresponse.
听到这个命令,一时间希克塔斯心中想得更多,没有及时回应。FarletCoussesomewhatis unavoidably discontented: „Did ShickTass, youhearmywords?!”
法莱库斯不免有些不满:“希克塔斯,你听到我的话了吗?!”„Iknew.”ShickTassreturned toonedesolately.
“我知道了。”希克塔斯冷淡的回了一句。FarletCousselooked athisoneeyes , without the timeto haggle over , north exhortsanothergeneralto organize3000citizensoldiersfirstto goto supportagain, simultaneouslyhealsodecidesto organize the people in citypersonally, goesnorthto buildtogether the line of defenseurgently, toprevent unable to recaptureYuliyaLusefortressby some chance, at least can also prevent the enemy unable easilyto go south.
法莱库斯看了他一眼,没时间去计较,又嘱咐另一位将军再组织三千名公民兵先去北面支援,同时他还决定亲自组织城内的民众,前往北面紧急修筑一道防御线,以防止万一无法夺回尤里亚鲁斯堡垒,至少还能阻止敌人无法轻易南下。..........................................

尤里亚鲁斯堡垒是用石墙围起来的一个正方形的小要塞,要塞内有住宅、仓库、蓄水池等设施,至少可以供300名士兵在此长期驻守。而且尤里亚鲁斯峰的城墙也是构成要塞的一面城墙,一旦有敌情发生,要塞内的士兵可以迅速的上到城头,阻击敌人。但是多日以来的平静以及险峻的地势也让长期处于和平安宁之中的锡拉库扎士兵放松了警惕,结果被戴奥尼亚山岭侦查大队士兵偷袭得手。
After TerrenTusleads the soldierssurprise attackattacks and occupiesYuliyaLusefortress, has not continuedto the Syracusecitylaunches the attack, butdefendsin the fortress, simultaneouslypositiveaidingreinforcements.
泰伦图斯率领士兵们奇袭攻占尤里亚鲁斯堡垒之后,并没有继续向锡拉库扎城区发动进攻,而是稳守在堡垒内,同时积极的接应援军。Originally, westYuliyaLusepeak the appearance of the mountainwas somewhat gentleandwooded, Dionysiusled the peopleexpenditureto compare with the long-termeffortto change the topographyinitially, andburnt down the trees and weeds under city, causesunderseeing clearlycity that the sentries in citycantake in everything at a glance the trend of enemy.
原本,尤里亚鲁斯峰西面山势有些平缓、树木繁茂,当初狄奥尼修斯带领民众花费较长时间的努力改变了地势,并且烧掉了城下的树木和杂草,使得城上的哨兵可以一览无余的看清城下敌人的动向。
After pitifullyonlyDionysiusdies, Syracusehas been in the turbulence, in addition the external environmentcomparisonsecurity, no onepays attention to the city garrisonissueagain, underYuliyaLusepeakcity wallis covered with the weeds and trees, thiswas the mountain ridgedetectionbrigadesoldiersambushesunder the cityto provide the help, butherenarrowtopographyalsodecided a timewas impossibleto havetoomanysoldiersto approachunder the city, therefore the twoheavy infantrybrigadeand a light infantrybrigade of moremountain ridgedetectionbrigadesoldieras well aseighthregiment, hidin the jungle under mountain, byavoidingbeing discoveredby the topsentry.
只可惜狄奥尼修斯死后,锡拉库扎一直处于动荡之中,再加上外部环境比较安全,没有谁再去关注城防问题,尤里亚鲁斯峰城墙之下重新长满野草和树木,这为山岭侦查大队士兵潜伏到城下提供了帮助,但是这里狭窄的地势也决定了一次不可能有太多的士兵靠近城下,所以更多的山岭侦查大队士兵以及第八军团的两个重步兵大队和一个轻步兵大队,都躲藏在山下的密林里,以避免被城头哨兵发现。Until the soldierrisingtop of surprise attack, captured the flare in sentryhand, according tobeforehandstipulationwieldsit, sends the signalto the mountain, the mountain ridgedetectionbrigadesoldiers, the regimentlight infantriesandheavy infantriesthenturns towardon the mountain the accelerationto climb upin turn.
直到突袭的士兵翻上城头,夺取了哨兵手中的火把,按照事先的规定挥动它,向山下传递信号,山岭侦查大队士兵、军团轻步兵、重步兵这才依次向着山上加速攀爬。What to forefrontis the mountain ridgedetectionbrigade, the soldier who theseundergo the special preparationyear to yearis climbing a mountaineven, itsspeedwas still quick, stillfew peoplethrow downandfall behind, theyhave not doneto resttoDachengunderslightly, butheldin the soldiers in cityropes that hungfrom the topto climb upbeforefastupwardly.
冲在最前面的是山岭侦查大队,这些常年经过特殊训练的士兵即使是在爬山,其速度仍然很快,也很少有人摔倒、掉队,他们到达城下也没有稍作歇息,而是抓住之前上城的士兵从城头垂下来的一根根绳索快速向上攀爬。
After oncity, theytake downshoulderinskinshield and short-sword, crashes in fortress that the war criesrose from all directions.
上城之后,他们取下背负在身上的皮盾和短剑,冲进了杀声四起的堡垒里。

后续援军的陆续到来,终于击溃了还在抵抗的锡拉库扎守军士兵。TerrenTusduringdefensefortressandcity wallandwaitingreinforcements, examined the situation in fortresscarefully, finallymakeshimfeel that whatheadacheis: The fortressfacedon the stone wall of cityNaenam-myuntwoentries, buthas not actually installed the wooden doororotheranythingmakes and breaks.
泰伦图斯在防御堡垒和城墙、等待援军的同时,也仔细查看了堡垒内的情况,结果让他感到头疼的是:堡垒朝向城内南面的石墙上开了两个门洞,但却没有装上木门或者其他什么来进行开闭。Originally, Dionysiusconstructedthisfortressinitiallytime, sodesignsintentionally, enabling the fortressonlygoverningoutside, butcannotagainst. It can be said that Dionysiusconceivesverythoroughly, buthehas not actually thought ofafterwardsentrytobe easy and comfortable, manufacturedtwobigplanksespecially, coverscave entrancewhen the evening, does not affect the sleep( becauseheretopographyis high, sometimesblowsmountain breeze, latewinning sidehas blowncave entrance, not onlycold, but alsoexudes„whistling”sound, seriouslyaffectsrest).
原来,狄奥尼修斯当初修建这个堡垒的时候,是故意如此设计,让堡垒只能御外而不能防内。可以说狄奥尼修斯设想得很周到,但他却没想到后来的哨兵为了安逸,特地制作了两个大木板,在晚上时盖住洞口,不影响睡眠(因为此处地势高,有时刮起山风,晚上风吹过洞口,不但寒冷,而且发出“呼呼”的响声,严重影响休息)。TerrenTusdiscoverednearcave entrancethesetwobigplanks, thenmake the soldierlook formanylogs and stonesfrom the warehouse, dies of suffocation the plankincave entrance.
泰伦图斯在洞口边发现了这两块大木板,然后又让士兵从仓库中找来不少木块和石头,将木板堵死在洞口。Buthedid not feel relieved, desperateunderfound outmeans.
但他还是不放心,情急之下又想出了一个办法。After the light infantrybrigadesoldiersalsograduallyenter the fortress, TerrenTusrelaxesslightly.
当轻步兵大队士兵也陆续进入堡垒之后,泰伦图斯才稍微松了口气。..........................................

当年雄心勃勃的狄奥尼修斯将埃皮波莱高地、阿克拉狄那等区域都囊括进了锡拉库扎城,让整个城区面积扩张了好几倍,为了让这座新城的人口充足,他积极的吸纳尽可能多的雇佣兵成为锡拉库扎的新公民,同时还将被征服的邻近城邦民众也强行迁移到锡拉库扎,比如列奥提尼、卡塔奈。However after South-Italian War, the mercenarieswere pursued, otherforcefullysent herecity-statepeoplealsoreturned tooneselfmother-statemost probably, in additionmanyyears of political disturbances, the Syracusepresentpopulationcompared withreducedhalfto continueinitially, finallyareageneralHepieLeegardbecomessparsely inhabited, almostbecomes the Syracusepeopleto herd the open land of cattle, the routed troop who thereforeescapesfromYuliyaLusefortressnearbycould not findanyhelp, they can only rush to the maincitytosouth, the urgentmilitary situationinformstaking turn on the watchgeneralexecutive committeemember, is dispatched the armyto recapture the fortressbyhimagain.
但是南意战争之后,雇佣兵们被驱逐,被强行迁来的其他城邦的民众也大半返回了自己的母邦,再加上多年的政局动荡,锡拉库扎现在的人口比当初减少了了一半都不止,结果面积广大的埃皮波莱高地变得人烟稀少,几乎成为了锡拉库扎民众放牧牛羊的荒地,所以从尤里亚鲁斯堡垒逃出来的溃兵就近是找不到任何帮助的,他们只能一直向南跑到主城区,将紧急军情告知正在值岗的将军执行委员会的成员,再由他派遣军队去把堡垒夺回。
The flaw that the Syracusecityareais too big, short-handedis completely unmaskedinthis time, YuliyaLusefortresshasfrom the maincity , in additionis the nightandsudden, StacyKaessleads2000soldiersrush toYuliyaLusefortress, has been away fromitsfalls to the enemyto be close for onehour, has the Theoniasurprise attackarmy of thoroughplanandpreparation, thattwoheavy infantrybrigadesgraduallyhad also enteredinYuliyaLusefortressparticularly.锡拉库扎城面积太大、人手不足的缺陷在此时暴露无遗,尤里亚鲁斯堡垒距离主城区有啦啦啦里,再加上又是深夜、事发突然,斯泰西科斯率领2000名士兵赶到尤里亚鲁斯堡垒前时,已经距离其失陷接近一个小时,有着周密策划和准备的戴奥尼亚突袭部队、尤其是那两支重步兵大队也已经陆续进入了尤里亚鲁斯堡垒内。Undershining of flame, StacyKaesssees the fortressabovefullarrange/clothTheoniasoldier, there ismuchalsowears the dazzlingarmor, the one whomakeshimbe startledwasthattwocave entranceis also blocked the wooden door, becausehecommanded troopsto comehastily, has not carriedanyattacking a cityinstrument.
在火光的照耀下,斯泰西科斯望见堡垒上方满布戴奥尼亚士兵,有不少还身穿耀眼的盔甲,更让他吃惊的是那两个洞口也被堵上了木门,因为他仓促率兵而来,并未携带任何攻城器械。StacyKaessfeltto have a headache, because ofaccording to the design of pastDionysius, YuliyaLusefortresswasdefends the center of northcity wall, the sentry, only thenthrough the fortresscanon the top, therefore the sentries in thisnearbycitywere sent outby the fortress, butfromfortressrecentoncitystonesteps, then must eastern and center-section of westerncity wall.
斯泰西科斯感到头疼了,因为按照当年狄奥尼修斯的设计,尤里亚鲁斯堡垒是防御北端城墙的中心,哨兵只有通过堡垒才能上得城头,所以这附近城上的哨兵都是由堡垒派出,而距离堡垒最近的上城石梯,则是要到东、西城墙的中段才会有。Dionysiussodesignspossiblybases on the safeconsideration, nowJeanceTaihsiKaessfeelsawkward: Ifcommands the army the turning aroundround tripnow, goesthrough the stoneladderonagain the city, thatgave the opportunities of currentenemytoomanyrespite.狄奥尼修斯如此设计可能是基于安全的考虑,现在却让斯泰西科斯感到为难:如果现在率军掉头往回,再去通过石梯上城,那就给了当前的敌人太多的喘息之机。StacyKaesstakes the bull by the horns, commanding the soldiersto initiate the chargeto the fortressfast, rushes tounder the stone wallas soon as possible, hits the pit hole. Meanwhile, hemakes the messengerhurry back to the maincityimmediately, reportedheresituationto the militaryexecutive committee.
斯泰西科斯当机立断,命令士兵们快速向堡垒发起冲锋,尽快赶至石墙之下,撞开石洞。同时,他让传令兵立刻赶回主城区,向军事执行委员会报告这里的情况。
The YuliyaLusefortresstopographyis high, the Syracusesoldierhas toprotectwith the shieldin the top of the head, attacks a high place from belowforward.
尤里亚鲁斯堡垒所处的地势高,锡拉库扎士兵不得不用盾牌护在头顶,向前仰攻。

堡垒上的戴奥尼亚步兵根本无需发射箭矢,举起从仓库里抱来的石头、圆木往下砸,石块、木头顺着地势弹跳着往下滚,一次就能砸伤好几个人,让进攻的锡拉库扎士兵叫苦不迭,不一会儿就被冲散了队形。StacySidashas togather the soldiers, andchargespersonallybefore, led the soldiersto rush tounder the wallwith great difficulty, immediatelyencounterswall the fly upon on Theoniasoldier, the javelin and arrowarrow, stoneandwood/blockheadpoundslike the raindrop, Syracusesoldierinjured partyreallynumerous, the StacyKaessalsobenefittedarrowhit a target the arm.
斯泰西达斯不得不将士兵们重新聚拢,并亲自冲锋在前,好不容易带领士兵们冲到了墙下,立刻遭到墙上的戴奥尼亚士兵的猛烈攻击,标枪、箭矢、石块、木头象雨点一样砸下来,锡拉库扎士兵受伤者甚众,就连斯泰西科斯也被利箭射中了胳膊。
