„Verygooddefensive measure!”Saying that Davoscommendedagain: „It seems likefacingforthcoming, attacking a city of quantitysohugeCarthagearmy, youhave not dreaded, insteadin the positivestartbrain, wantsbetterdefenseway, thisto be very good!”.
“非常好的防御措施!”戴弗斯再一次赞许的说道:“看来面对即将到来的、数量如此庞大的迦太基军队的攻城,你并没有畏惧,反而在积极的开动脑筋、想更好的防御办法,这很好!”.Davossteps onto the top, looks into the distanceto the city.戴弗斯走上城头,向城外眺望。Inhisfield of visionnot only is also the dustfills the air, but alsoa babel of voices, byduskydust and fog, inbeyondhundredmetersinnumerableperson's shadowawaycitylikeindustriousantkeepingis bustling about, theyare unearthingonelong, regardingTugou of SellinNusecity, the soil that simultaneouslywill digpiles up, in the rear arearams, behind the earthen rampart that inthishas not completediscamp, onewithstand/top the stars of tentspaceto be likely same, butalsostands erectto surroundSellinNusecity, to construct the gooddirt wallin the distant placein addition......
在他的视野中不但同样是尘土弥漫,而且人声鼎沸,透过灰蒙蒙的尘雾,在距城百米之外数不清的人影就像辛勤的蚂蚁在不停的忙碌着,他们正在挖掘一道长长的、围绕塞林努斯城的土沟,同时将挖出来的泥土堆积在后方夯实,在这道尚未完成的土垒后方是连片的营地,一顶顶帐篷像天上的繁星一样数不胜数,而在更远处还矗立着另一道环绕塞林努斯城、已经建好的土墙……Davosstaredsome little time, the facial expression on facebecomesserious: „It seems likeCarthaginiansthistimeis earnest, theyreallyprepared to attackSellinNusecity!”戴弗斯凝望了好一会儿,脸上的神情变得严肃起来:“看来迦太基人这次是认真的,他们是真准备要进攻塞林努斯城了!”„PerhapsCarthaginiansexcept forattackingSellinNusecity, did not haveotherchoice.”Alexiussaidone.
“恐怕迦太基人除了进攻塞林努斯城,也没别的选择了。”阿莱克西斯说了一句。Davosnods, withoutspeech, whengoes down the tower over a city gate, heobserved the soldiers who go on patrolin the topspecially, theyalllook nervous, the muscleties tight.戴弗斯点了点头,没有说话,在走下城楼的时候,他特意观察了在城头巡逻的士兵们,他们个个神情紧张,肌肉紧绷。
After arriving at the citymainmansion, Davosholds a military conferenceimmediately.
来到城主府邸之后,戴弗斯立刻召开了一个军事会议。„SellinNuse'ssituationis stern, the Carthaginiansattacknears, whatview do youhave?”Asking that Davoscomes straight to the point.
“塞林努斯的局势严峻,迦太基人进攻在即,你们有什么看法?”戴弗斯开门见山的问道。„Your majesty, mustgiveSellinNuseto reinforceimmediately, Iam willingto lead the firstregimentto comeSellinNuseto defend!”Amintasrequests a combat assignmenton own initiative, these daysis treatinginHeraclea Minoa, healsolooked: Davosdid not plan conducts the battlein a short timewithCarthaginians, SellinNusewill certainlybecome the focus of nextwar.
“陛下,必须立刻给塞林努斯增援,我愿意带领第一军团前来塞林努斯防御!”阿明塔斯主动请战,这段时间在米诺亚待着,他也看出来了:戴弗斯在短时间内是不打算同迦太基人进行会战的,塞林努斯必将成为下一场战争的焦点。„Iagreed that opinion of Amintas, SellinNusemustbe reenforced!”Alexiusalsosaid: „ Oneregimentforcesaretoofew, at least the reinforcement of tworegiments, thiscanguaranteewhilecompletingdefense, the militarycaninitiate an attack, disrupts the attack of Carthaginians.
“我同意阿明塔斯的意见,塞林努斯必须得到增援!”阿莱克西斯也说道:“不过一个军团兵力还是太少,至少有两个军团的增援,这样可以保证在完成防御的同时,还有兵力能够主动出击,扰乱迦太基人的进攻。KarsiTeecegavemea moment ago very goodinspiration, beforewewere familiar in the defenseoutside the city and camparrange the multiplebarriers, toachieve the goal that the hindranceandkilled the enemy, now the Carthagearmythreatens the border, impossibleto conduct the detailedarrangementoutside the city, butcanconstruct the defensive measurein the city, were not why manycultivateshow manyinner walls, arrangedsometraps? After allwhatwemustfocus on protectingis the harbor, in the citydoes not have the resident, we can definitely treat as the battlefieldit, achievesgoal that the mass casualtiesCarthagesoldier, givesitsmajorattack! However, mustdemolishin the city the house, to constructgoodcity wall, trapand otherfacilitiesin a short time, thisalsoneedslots ofmanpower...... ”
刚才卡尔西狄斯给了我很好的启发,以前我们在防御中习惯在城池和营地外布置多重障碍,以达到阻碍和杀伤敌人的目的,现在迦太基大军压境,已经不可能在城外进行详细的布置,但可以在城内修建防御措施,为什么不多修几道内墙,多布置一些陷阱呢?毕竟我们要重点保护的是港口,城区内已经没有居民,我们完全可以把它当做战场,达到大量杀伤迦太基士兵、给予其重大打击的目的!不过,要在短时间内拆除城内住宅、修建好城墙、陷阱等设施,这也需要大量的人手……”Davosearnestlylistens attentively, whileis thinking, thenhissinceresaidtoAmintas: „Alexiusthesesuggesteda moment agoyoudid hear? Whatview do youhave?”戴弗斯一边认真倾听,一边在思索着,然后他正色的对阿明塔斯说道:“刚才阿莱克西斯的这些建议你都听到了吗?你有什么看法?”Amintasextremely anxioussaying: „ The proposition of Alexiusis very good, buttheseafter the enemystartsto attack a city, ifIam the commander in SellinNusecity, Iwill request that your majestydispatchescavalry corpsto directtome, Carthaginiansbuilds the city wallinsuchneardistancenow, in factuses the barrier that the cavalrycreatesforthem, Iwill send the cavalry corpsoftento conduct the surprise attacktothem.阿明塔斯急不可待的说道:“阿莱克西斯的提议很好,不过那些都是在敌人开始攻城之后,如果我是塞林努斯城的指挥官,我会请求陛下调遣一个骑兵军团给我指挥,迦太基人现在在这么近的距离修筑城墙,实际上对他们使用骑兵造成的障碍,我会派骑兵军团不时对他们进行突袭。Moreover, Iwantto inviteyour majestyinstigateallcrossbowartillery and abdomenbowsgiveme, Iwill makethemplacein the top, implements the accurateattacktoCarthaginians, unceasingcreateskillingto the Carthagesoldier...... ”
另外,我想请陛下将所有的弩炮和腹弓都调拨给我,我会让它们都安置在城头,对迦太基人实行精准的攻击,不断的对迦太基士兵造成杀伤……”
The Davoshear, hesitated the moment, saiddecisively: „Amintas, IappointyouasSellinNuse'scommander, leads the firstregiment and sixthregiment, the firstcavalry corpsas well asSellinNuse'sgarrison troops, 22,000people, persevereSellinNusecitytome, iffalls into enemy hands, do not seeme!”戴弗斯听完,沉吟了片刻,果断说道:“阿明塔斯,我任命你为塞林努斯的指挥官,率领第一军团、第六军团,第一骑兵军团以及塞林努斯的守军,共22,000人,给我坚守住塞林努斯城,如果失守,你就不要来见我了!”Reason thatchoosesAmintasforCommanderSellinNuse, Davosnaturallyto haveownconsideration: AlthoughAmintasinattackbecausesometimeslosesmilitantlycalmly, howeverwhen the defense, hisperformancewas calmer, insteadcanbring into full playhisexperiencedspecial skill, demonstratedveryclearlyinOstiadaldefensive war.
之所以选阿明塔斯为塞林努斯指挥官,戴弗斯当然有自己的考虑:虽然阿明塔斯在进攻中有时因为过于好战而失去冷静,但是在防守时,他的表现就沉稳多了,反而能充分发挥他经验丰富的特长,在奥斯提亚防御战中就表现得非常明显。„Your majestycould rest assured that Iwill makeSellinNuse the Carthaginiansdeepprison!”Amintasis in high spiritsto sayloudly.
“陛下放心,我会让塞林努斯成为迦太基人的冥狱!”阿明塔斯精神振奋的大声说道。„Iwill informSekrian, makinghimreassignsomecrew, assistanceyourarmycompletes the constructiontoSellinNusecitydefense facilityas soon as possible.”
“我会通知塞克利安,让他抽调出部分船员,协助你的部队尽快完成对塞林努斯城防御设施的建造。”Davos said that alsolookstoKarsiTeece: „KarsiTeece, youwill still direct the oldthat4000soldiers, andhasto attend the power of eachSellinNusecitymilitary conference, becauseyouare familiar withSellinNusecity and situation of cityforeign enemyperson, canprovide the goodsuggestiontoAmintas.”戴弗斯说完,又看向卡尔西狄斯:“卡尔西狄斯,你仍将指挥原来那4000名士兵,并且拥有出席每一次塞林努斯城军事会议的权力,因为你熟悉塞林努斯城和城外敌人的情况,可以给阿明塔斯提供好的建议。”KarsiTeecehearsthissaying, in the heartisexcited, hisoriginaldutyby the commanderLeotychidesappointment, King Davoscontinuationmakeshimdirectthese4000peoplenow, was solidthisappointment. Moreoverlike the wartimemilitary conference, can only be ableto participateby the legatusabovedutygenerally, the peculiar circumstanceallows the ordinaryteamofficersto participate, but after Davospermitshim, normally the military conference that canparticipate inSellinNuse, means that hehadwith the qualifications that legatus are treated equally.
卡尔西狄斯听到这话,心中感到振奋,他原先的职务是由指挥官列奥提齐德斯任命,现在戴弗斯国王继续让他指挥这4000人,则是坐实了这个任命。而且像这样的战时军事会议,一般只能由军团长以上的职务才能参加,特殊情况才允许普通队官参与,而戴弗斯允许他以后可以正常参与塞林努斯的军事会议,意味着他拥有了与军团长平起平坐的资格。„Many thanksyour majesty!”Saying that hisvoiceshivers.
“多谢陛下!”他声音颤抖的说道。„Alexius must direct the Heraclea Minoaarmyforme, mythere may be unable to leaveyou!”Davoshalf jokingly, halfearnestsaying.
“阿莱克西斯还得替我指挥米诺亚的军队,我那里可离不开你呀!”戴弗斯半开玩笑、半认真的说道。„Your majesty, I am gladto work for you!”Alexiusfacial expressionrelaxedsaying.
“陛下,我非常乐意为您效劳!”阿莱克西斯神情轻松的说道。................................................
…………………………………………Aftersmoothconstructed the campouter wall, Magoncommanded the soldiersto construct the inner wallwith a sense of urgency, saw that the trenchhas dugmost probably, the earthen rampartis buildingandramminggradually, the situationactuallychanged. The tranquilSellinNusecityran out ofseveral hundredcavalriesfrom the north gate, east gateandwest gatesuddenlyrespectively, the surprise attackis constructing the Carthagesoldier of campinner wall.
在顺利的建好了营地外墙之后,玛哥又命令士兵们抓紧修建内墙,眼看着壕沟已经大半挖好,土垒正在逐步的搭建、夯实,情况却发生了变化。原本平静的塞林努斯城突然从北门、东门、西门各冲出几百名骑兵,突袭正在修建营地内墙的迦太基士兵。
The Carthagesoldier of noprotectionis defeated and dispersedimmediately, when the fully-armedCarthagereinforcementsrush, theseTheoniacavalriesreturned to the citypromptly.
毫无防备的迦太基士兵随即溃散,等到全副武装的迦太基援军赶到时,这些戴奥尼亚骑兵又及时的退回了城中。MakesMagonrealize that forseveralsurprise attacksTheonianhad increased troopstoSellinNusecity, andstarts to strengthen the cityoutsidemakes a harassing attack, CarthagearmyobviouslyimpossiblelikebeforewithoutattackingSellinNusecity, does not cause that the garrison troopspay attention to the full powerconstructionfacility, before the cityadvances.
一连几次的突袭让玛哥意识到戴奥尼亚人已经对塞林努斯城增兵了,并且开始加强对城外进行袭扰,迦太基军队显然不可能像之前一样在不进攻塞林努斯城、不引起守军注意的情况下全力的修建设施,向城前推进。AlthoughhewantsthroughattackingSellinNusecity, attracts the Theoniamain forceto come, fights a decisive battlewithitagain, buthewantsaftercompletingallarrangement, losesitsdefenseadvantagein the situationinSellinNusecities, thereforeheorders the armyto step upat the same timetobuilding of campinner wall, simultaneouslybehindbuilding the soldier of inner wallarranged the fully-armedarmyto guard.
虽然他是想通过进攻塞林努斯城,吸引戴奥尼亚主力前来,与之再次决战,但他希望是在完成所有布置之后、在塞林努斯城失去其防御优势的情况下进行,所以他一边命令部队加紧对营地内墙的修筑,同时又在修筑内墙的士兵后面布置了全副武装的军队进行防备。Meanwhile, healsoadjustedseveral thousandcavalries, the cruisein the flank of campinner wall, is focusing onSellinNusecityseveralcity gatestrends.
同时,他还调来了几千名骑兵,巡弋在营地内墙的外侧,紧盯着塞林努斯城几个城门的动向。Whoknows, the topcrossbowartillery and abdomenbowlaunchtogether, the place that the converging attackbeyondhundredmeters the Carthagecavalry and infantrygather, causedsomecasualties, forcingMagonalsoto be hurried the defensive forceto withdraw.
谁知,城头弩炮、腹弓一起发射,集中攻击百米外迦太基骑兵和步兵聚集的地方,造成了一些伤亡,迫使玛哥又急忙将防御部队后撤。Naturally, hedoes not have the interruptto build the inner wall, insteadadditionally appoints the soldierto step upto build, draws the crossbowartillery, launches the attackunder the cover ofearthen ramparttoSellinNusetop.
当然,他没有中断修筑内墙,反而加派士兵加紧修筑,同时也拉来弩炮,在土垒的掩护下向塞林努斯城头发起攻击。.............................................

When Magonis racking brainsto deal with the surprise attack in city, receivedrequesting reinforcements of PaleMossmessenger: Over ten thousandpeople of Theoniaarmies'beachlandingnearPaleMosscity!玛哥正绞尽脑汁应对城内的突袭时,又接到了帕勒莫斯信使的求援:有一支上万人的戴奥尼亚军队在帕勒莫斯城附近的海滩登陆!Magonis startled: Didn't the Theoniaarmyin the south coast, in the centralmountainous area, howpresent over ten thousandpeople of army? IsTheonianrecruitsfromMagna Graecia?玛哥吃了一惊:戴奥尼亚的军队不是在南海岸、就是在中部的山区,怎么又出现了一支上万人的军队?难道是戴奥尼亚人从大希腊征召过来的?Magonhas not thoughtfrom the start may attack the SyracuseTheoniaarmy, ishepersonallyhas mainly seen the Syracusecity, hedoes not think that the Theoniaarmycanin such a short timeattack and captureSyracuse.玛哥压根就没想到可能会是进攻锡拉库扎的戴奥尼亚军队,主要是他亲眼见过锡拉库扎城,他不认为戴奥尼亚军队能够在这么短的时间内就攻克了锡拉库扎。Althougha littleworries the Theoniamilitary potential, butMagondoes not have the timeto ponder that now the origin of thisTheoniaarmy, herealized that as a result of the uneventfulness of these daysNorth coast, oneselfstartedto neglect this littleto be far away fromwestSicilyPhoeniciacity-state of core region, insteadalsotook awayPaleMoss'ssomecitizensto comeSellinNuseto build the city wall, butnowPaleMosswas attacked, ifitsoncefell to the enemy, means the coastline that the Carthagearmycanusefurtherreduction, will benefit the blockade of Theoniafleet.
虽然有点忧心戴奥尼亚的军事潜力,但玛哥现在没有时间去细想这支戴奥尼亚军队的由来,他意识到由于这段时间北海岸的风平浪静,自己开始忽略了这座有点远离西西里西部核心区域的腓尼基城邦,反而还抽掉了帕勒莫斯的一些公民前来塞林努斯修筑城墙,而现在帕勒莫斯遭到攻击,如果其一旦失陷,就意味着迦太基军队所能利用的海岸线将会进一步的缩短,更有利于戴奥尼亚舰队的封锁。Hecriticizesoneselfcarelessness, andimmediatelysends out the messengerto ride a horseto rush tonorth, informsstationed inSaigeStarcknearbyHasdrubal the Fair, makinghimleadsubordinatearmyto hurry to rescuePaleMossimmediately.
他暗骂自己的疏忽大意,并且立刻派出传令兵骑马赶往北面,去通知驻扎在塞格斯塔附近的哈斯德鲁巴,让他立即率领麾下的军队赶去救援帕勒莫斯。
After Hasdrubal the Fairhas been ordered, quickleads30,000soldiers, the rapid marchto rush toPaleMoss.
哈斯德鲁巴得到命令之后,很快就率领三万名士兵,急行军赶往帕勒莫斯。Butwhereheknows, after Leotychidesleads the seventh, eighthregimentrapidlandingcoast, has not attackedPaleMossdirectly, has not startedto build the camp, besidesleaving behind some soldiersmonitors the trend of PaleMosscityandeastSzoLusecity, the large unitbrings the constructingcitymaterial that is preparingin advanceto rush overto lead to the southmountainroad junction and westcoastaltrackentrance, allsoldiersgrasp the timeexcavationtrench, trap, the arrangementabati and constructionearthen rampart, to infiltrate the wooden stake, builds the woodenturret......
但他哪里知道,列奥提齐德斯率领第七、第八军团迅速登陆海岸之后,既没有直接进攻帕勒莫斯,也没有开始修筑营地,除了留下少部分士兵监视帕勒莫斯城和东面的索鲁斯城的动向之外,大部队带着预先准备的建城材料迅速赶到通向南面的山道口和西面的海岸小道入口,所有士兵抓紧时间挖掘壕沟、陷阱、布置鹿砦、修建土垒、打入木桩,搭建木制塔楼……Hasdrubal the Fairhas not chosen the coastaltrack, becausetheredoes not favor the armypassing through . Moreover the Theoniafleetis controlling the coastline, whenhisarmyplatoonbecomes the long linemeandersto lead the wayin the coast, head and tail unable to look at each other, is very easyto encounter the landingattack of Theoniafleet, thereforeheled the armyto walk the mountain road.
哈斯德鲁巴并没有选择走海岸小道,因为那里不利于大军通行,而且戴奥尼亚舰队控制着海岸线,当他的军队排成长龙在海岸逶迤前行时、首尾不能相顾,很容易遭到戴奥尼亚舰队的登陆袭击,所以他带领军队走了山道。
