谁知在逃跑途中迎面撞见从西城逃回的溃兵,才知道西城墙已经失守,大家惊慌失措,一时间竟不知该何去何从,有的人甚至失声痛哭:“完了……锡拉库扎完了……”Suddenlysomepeopleshout: „Wecango tomysteriousto raise the Guillatisland!”
突然有人喊道:“我们可以去奥提吉亚岛!”Thissayingreminded the flurriedcongressmen: Yes, we have mysteriousto raise the Guillatisland!
这话提醒了慌乱中的议员们:是啊,我们还有奥提吉亚岛!As the Syracuseplace of origin, isSyracusehealth/guardcity, whenDionysiusrulesmysteriousraises the Guillatislandto be constructed a firmfortress, meanwhileconstructed the palaceon the island. After Dionysiuswas overthrown, Herolisallowsto be raised the Guillatislandaboriginesto return by mysterious that Dionysiusexpelsforcefully the islandto live.
作为锡拉库扎的发源地、也是锡拉库扎的卫城,在狄奥尼修斯统治期间奥提吉亚岛被修建成一座坚固的堡垒,同时还在岛上建了宫殿。狄奥尼修斯被推翻之后,赫罗利斯允许原先被狄奥尼修斯强行赶出的奥提吉亚岛原居民重新回到岛上生活。
The powwowoncesomepeopleproposed: Demolishesmysteriousto raise the city wall in Kia Island, avoidsitbecoming the ambitiouspoliticianto gather in great numbersto occupy the instituteonce again.
议事会曾经有人提议:拆除奥提基亚岛的城墙,避免其再次成为有野心的政客聚众盘踞之所。Butwas opposed by many, the reasonis: mysteriousraises the GuillatislandasSyracusehealth/guardcity, when shouldhave the firmdefense, the Syracusecityencounters the danger, thatis the refuge shelter of people.
但遭到了很多人的反对,理由是:奥提吉亚岛作为锡拉库扎的卫城,本就应该有着坚固的防御,锡拉库扎城遭到危难时,那将是民众的避难所。Nowthissayingfulfilled!
现在这话应验了!Initially, Syracusehad the riot, Dionysiusretreatsmysteriousto raiseGuillat, Herolishas the overwhelming superiority, did not have the meanswithhim, finallydepended on the Spartaperson, deceivedmysteriousto raiseGuillathim, therefore the defense on islandwas absolutely trustworthy . Moreover the people on islandmostlywere the later generation who Syracuseconstructedcity, tothiscity-stateloyalwas also trustworthy, thereforemysteriousraised the Guillatislandis an idealrefuge shelter.
当初,锡拉库扎发生暴乱,狄奥尼修斯退守奥提吉亚,赫罗利斯拥有绝对优势,却拿他毫无办法,最终靠着斯巴达人,才将其骗出了奥提吉亚,因此岛上的防御绝对值得信赖,而且岛上的民众大多是锡拉库扎建城者的后人,对这个城邦的忠诚也值得信赖,所以奥提吉亚岛是一个理想的避难所。

议员们心绪稍定,一边聚拢溃兵、向奥提吉亚岛退却(不少士兵因为担心家人而拒绝前往奥提吉亚),一边派人去通知法莱库斯和泰阿根尼斯,希望他们能再坚守一段时间,让城内的民众能够有缓冲的时间撤退到奥提吉亚岛。尤其是港口区距离地峡很近,一旦让敌人冲破内墙,就可能截断地峡。line of defense of inner wallhas creakied, butFarletCousseis truly supportingwith every effort. However, safeflatterrootNiceafterknowing the westerncity wallfalls into enemy hands, has not continuedto insist that defendsin the top, butbringsa fewto be willingto followhiscitizensoldier, escapeddirectlytomysteriousraised the Guillatisland.
内墙的防线已经是摇摇欲坠,但法莱库斯确实是在尽力支撑。不过,泰阿根尼斯在得知西城墙南段失守之后,就没有继续坚持在城头防御,而是带着少数愿意跟随他的公民兵,直接逃向了奥提吉亚岛。
The garrison troops of East citywallalsosaw the fire in city, theirresponsesare almost the same as the Western cityGarrison troops.
东城墙的守军同样看到了城内的大火,他们的反应和西城守军相差无几。

到黄昏时分,东、西两线的部队在锡拉库扎城内的阿波罗广场成功会师。......................................................

在这样的态势下,玛哥无计可施,他即使有心想进攻一方,粮食的短缺也让他打消了念头,在米诺亚对峙了五、六天之后,他终于率军向西撤退至塞格斯塔。
After Davosobtains„the thirdfleetwon” the news, strengthenedhim„ground defenseandmarineattack”determination that the strategycarries out.戴弗斯得到了“第三舰队大胜”的消息之后,更加坚定了他将“陆地防御、海上进攻”的战略执行下去的决心。For serveral days, the warship of reforgerjoinedto the sequence of Sicilyfleetinone after another, the warshiptotalhas achieved320, itsmain forcehas moved aheadtoSellinNuseharbor.
这些天,陆续还有新造的战船加入到西西里舰队的序列中,战船总数已经达到320艘,其主力已经前移到塞林努斯港口内。Every daybefore dawn, Sekrianwill lead the fleetto leave the harbor, enormous and powerfulto the west, sweeps the entireSicilyRiviera Di Ponente, afterduskreturns. Becausehereceived the information that recentlytransfersfrom the King Davoshand: Recently, Carthageandin the harbor of peripheralPhoeniciaallied countryis concentratinglarge number ofships, simultaneouslyin the cityis also stepping upto collect the grain, might transport/fortune the graintoSicily.
每天凌晨,塞克利安都会率领舰队离开港口,浩浩荡荡的驶往西面,扫荡整个西西里西部海岸,直到黄昏后才返回。因为他最近接到从戴弗斯国王手中转来的情报:近日,迦太基及其周边的腓尼基盟邦的港口内正在集中大量的船只,同时城内也在加紧筹集粮食,很可能会向西西里运粮。In the early morning, the Sicilywestern watersare having the drizzle, the weatherwas a little gloomy, althoughthere is a breeze, but the stormwas not big.
这一日凌晨,西西里西部海域下着微雨,天色有点晦暗,虽有微风,但风浪不大。Held the post of the SicilyfleetcommandSekrianto draw the previouslesson, heinvitedseveralto livedozensyears of oldsailoras the adviserespeciallyhere, providedthissea areatohim the analysis of sea conditionandclimate, theymade the affirmativejudgmentonetime: Today the western waterswill be unlikelyto have the bigstorm.
重新担任西西里舰队统帅的塞克利安吸取了上一次的教训,他特地聘请了几位在此生活了几十年的老水手作为顾问,向他提供这片海域的海况和气候的分析,他们都一次做出肯定的判断:今天西部海域不大可能会有大风浪。Therefore, althoughSekrianhas the hesitation, butmade the Sicilyfleetleave the harborlike the past, set outto the westalong the coast.
因此,塞克利安虽有犹豫,但还是让西西里舰队像往日一样驶离港口,沿着海岸向西进发。As a result ofraining, the seais covering the mist, causing the visibilityto be bad, toprevent the accident/surprise, the speeds of allwarshipsslows down, the entirefleet280warshipsare maintainingintensiveformationadvance( another40warshipsanchorin the Heraclea Minoasimpleharbor, safeguards the need of principal forceDavosleads).
由于下雨,海上笼罩着薄雾,导致能见度较差,为防止意外,所有战船的速度放慢,整个舰队280艘战船保持着较密集的阵型前进(另外40艘战船停泊在米诺亚简易港口,保障戴弗斯率领的主力部队的需要)。Therefore, usuallyonlyneededonehour of flight and presentactuallyto spend for twohours, the fleetarrived around Mazzara the sea level, started the bookletto navigateto the Northwest.
因此,平时只需一个小时的航程、如今却花费了两个小时,舰队才到达马扎拉附近海面,开始折向西北方航行。At this time, the drizzlehas stood still, the skylightgreatlywas gradually bright, the mistdivergedgradually, the blue skysuch aswashed, sea waterdeep blue, vast, gentle breeze, makingpeoplecompletely relaxed.
这时,细雨已经停歇,天光逐渐大亮,雾气渐渐散去,碧空如洗,海水湛蓝,一望无际,微风拂面,让人心旷神怡。Sekrianthenfeels relieved, smileswas sayingtotwoadvisersailors: „Yourjudgmentsare accurate! Is called‚obtains the sea godcares for’ the personworthily!”塞克利安这才如释重负,微笑着对两名顾问水手说道:“你们的判断非常准确!不愧是被称为‘得到海神眷顾’的人啊!”ThesetwooldsailorhurriedmodestresponsesfromSellinNuse, as the Greeksailor, theyinSellinNuselow status, depends uponto fishandtransport freight to live, how couldto have had and statusprecious, leadsseveral hundredwarships the opportunity of kingdomgeneralequal dialog.
这两个来自塞林努斯的老水手急忙谦虚回应,作为希腊水手,他们在塞林努斯地位低下,依靠捕鱼、运货为生,何曾有过与身份贵重、率领几百艘战船的王国将军平等对话的机会。Seesappearance that theygrovel, Sekrianknitting the browshead, buthas not saidanything, turns headto issue the orderto the placeshipcaptain: „Informs the fleet, restores the normal speed, sends out the express steamer, searches for the seaborne targetcarefully.”
看到他们点头哈腰的模样,塞克利安皱了皱眉头,但没说什么,扭头对座舰舰长下达命令:“通知舰队,恢复正常速度,派出快船,仔细搜寻海上目标。”Shortly , the speedpromotion of entirefleet, more than 10express steamers are also separated from the large unit, before being fast .
没多久,整个舰队的速度提升,十多艘快船也脱离大部队,快速前出。
After dozensminutes, ranhad been close to the forefrontexpress steamer, so that the sea level, observationonmastmovedonealready the hands and feet of numb and aching, lowered the headshoutstounder: „Captain!”
几十分钟之后,跑在最前面的快船已经接近了利利俾海面,在桅杆上的瞭望手活动了一下已经酸麻的手脚,低头对下方喊道:“舰长!”As soon as the express steamercaptainlistens, immediatelyexcitingasking: „Has the enemy intelligence?!”
快船舰长一听,顿时兴奋的问道:“有敌情吗?!”

Two, three...... manyCarthageships!”
瞭望手本想说:“轮岗的时间是不是到了?应该让下一位来替换自己了吧。”但舰长的问话让他下意识的又看了一眼前方的海面,然后他愣住了,眨眨眼睛,再次增大眼睛、凝视前方,片刻之后,他也兴奋的大喊:“有敌船!一艘,两艘,三艘……好多迦太基的船!”„CommanderSir, the frontwarshipraised the white flag!”Observationonflagshipmain mastsees the flag indicator that the frontminute/share of fleet flagshiptransmits, the excitingloudnessshouts: „Istwowhite flags!

“指挥官大人,前方的战船升起了白旗!”在旗舰主桅杆上的了望手望见前方的分舰队旗舰传递过来的旗语,兴奋的大声喊道:“是两条白旗!是和我们战船数量相等的普通船队!”Sekrianunderstandsmeaning that immediatelythisothercontain, heis also excited: Runs into the ordinaryfleetonlypossiblyto come fromCarthageinthissea area, information that it seems likeyour majestygivesnotwrong, Carthaginianstrulywassends the military provisions!塞克利安立刻明白这其余所蕴含的意思,他也激动起来:在这个海域遇到普通船队只可能来自迦太基,看来陛下所给的情报没有错,迦太基人确实是来运送军粮了!Hisissuingorderwithout hesitation: „ToldSteeFarkas, ledhisminute/share of fleet, gavemeto sinktheseCarthagefreighterscompletely!

他毫不犹豫的下达命令:“告诉斯特法卡斯,带领他的分舰队,给我把这些迦太基货船全部撞沉!要是放跑了一艘,让他接受军法处罚!”

分舰队统领斯特法卡斯在接到这个命令之后,立刻拿出十二分的精神,命令他统帅的作为前锋的分舰队战船呈一字展开,向着发现敌情的方向,快速行进。.........................................................

Theoniawarship!”
这200多艘迦太基商船排成两条纵队,正朝着利利俾方向行使,在处于领头的这艘商船上,一个水手正站在桅杆顶紧张的向前方眺望,突然间他急切的喊道:“老头,戴奥尼亚战船……戴奥尼亚战船来啦!”Then, hisrapidslidesfrom the mast.
说完,他迅速的从桅杆上滑下来。Merchantnotlikewarship, generallyit, only then a mast, moreoversituated in the tail block, will usually not let the person of standingtopgallant mastmast topobservation. On the one handisbecause the merchant shiprelies onpromotion of sailextremely, the fearsteps on the badmast;On the other hand, the mastlastlong timestandperson, is easyto disrupt the balance of whole body, causesto present the accident. Howevertodaythissituationis special, theyneedto know the trend of Theoniafleetearly.
商船不像战船,一般它只有一根桅杆,而且是位于床尾,通常是不会让人站上桅杆顶瞭望的。一方面是因为商船极其依赖风帆的推动,害怕踩坏桅杆;另一方面,桅杆上长时间站人,容易破坏全身的平衡,导致出现事故。但是今天这情况特殊,他们需要早早知道戴奥尼亚舰队的动向。„Ithink that I was really insane, unexpectedlywill promiseMooreBarr, steered the merchant shipto comefacing the warship.”Emptysendsall the whiteseniorcaptaindoes not seemanxious, insteadsighedto say.
“我想我真是疯了,居然会答应莫尔巴尔,驾驶商船来面对战船。”虚发皆白的老船长倒不显得紧张,反而叹气说道。Whatbyhimis a helmsman of samewhole facewrinklecomforts saying: „Wearegood, theyeven must operate the merchant ship, to intrudeTheoniashiplikeBaryKaess, that was really crazy!”
在他旁边的是一名同样满脸皱纹的舵手安慰道:“我们还算是好的,象巴里科斯他们甚至还要操纵商船、闯入戴奥尼亚的船阵,那才真是太疯狂了!”
The seniorcaptainalsosighed: „WhocalledusonceisMooreBarr'sformer subordinate, followedhisso manyyears, obtainedhismanyhelp...... to sayagainmother-stateplaces the difficult positionnow, the old person who ourthesewere soon buriedcanplay a role, providesomehelpforit, believes that even ifdied, tous was still a glory!”
老船长又叹了口气:“谁叫我们曾经都是莫尔巴尔的老部下,跟随他那么多年,得到他不少的帮助……再说母邦现在身处困境,我们这些都快要入土的老人能够发挥一点作用、为它提供一些帮助,相信即使死去,对我们也是一种荣耀啊!”
The seniorhelmsmandeeplyhasnod of same feeling.
老舵手深有同感的点点头。„old man, do not fondly remember! The Theoniawarshipsooncame, hurriesto defer to the plan, moves to the place that thisshipassigns, hereis too farfrom the coast, if the shipwere sunk, wemaynot be possibleto swimto the ashorego!”Urgedin the youngsailor who on the mastlooked outa moment ago.
“老头,别怀念过去了!戴奥尼亚战船就快要来了,赶紧按照计划,将这船驶向指定的地方,这里距离海岸太远,要是船被撞沉了,我们可不一定能游到岸上去!”刚才在桅杆上瞭望的年轻水手催促道。„No rush, no rush.” The seniorcaptainis sayingat a moderate pace, closes the eyes, feltwith rapt attentiononeleewardapproaches: „Probably the windslightlywas big a point.”
“别急,别急。”老船长不紧不慢的说着,闭上双眼,凝神感觉了一下风向:“好像风稍微大了一点。”
