Rodstandson the toweringhump, is looking at the Erengradcity under graybackdrop, worried.罗德站在突兀的山岗上,望着灰色天幕下的厄仑格拉德城,心事重重。Manyyears ago, oneselftakesin the Northallied armiesverysmallUnit, participatedcampaign that exterminates the Erengradrebel army. At that time, Erengradis a prosperousport city, it can be said thatnorthern Old Worldbiggestport city. At the present, went throughtwicewars, thiscityis a damagedscene, the initial100,000residentsmostlyby being sent to frontier serviceborder area, degenerated into the slave, remains, issomenewimmigrations. The oldfamilyis damaged, the newfamilysuffers the flames of waragain.
多年前,自己作为北境联军中很小的一支部队,参加了剿灭厄仑格拉德叛军的战役。那时候,厄仑格拉德还是一座繁荣的港口城市,可以说是旧世界北方最大的港口城市。而今,经历了两次战争,这座城市已然是一番破败不堪的景象,当初的十万居民大多被发配边疆,沦为奴隶,剩下来的,都是一些新移民。旧的家庭破碎不堪,新的家庭再遭战火。Rodreallydoes not know that shouldattack a citywithwhat means that the information that the scoutpasses on, the garrison troops of thiscityat least have 2000people. AlthoughNorthallied armies20,000numerous, butmusttake over a defenseperfectErengradcity, mustpay the hugeprice, cannotguaranteeafterthiscampaignended, Ice Queenwill not seize the chanceto go northagain, attacks the Northcenter. Moreover, attacking a city, howto attack a city is also a difficult problem. Cannotinjureto the civilians, cannot the bloody murderlikeinitiallyKatarin, otherwise, the mass base of oneselfdependencewill be nothing left.罗德实在不知道该用什么办法攻城,探子传出来的情报,这座城市的守军至少还有两千人。北境联军虽然有两万之众,但是要攻下一座防御完善的厄仑格拉德城,还是要付出巨大的代价,不敢保证当这场战役结束后,冰雪女王不会趁机再度北上,袭击北境腹地。而且,攻城,如何攻城也是一道难题。不能伤到平民,不能像当初卡特琳娜那样血腥屠杀,否则,自己依靠的群众基础将荡然无存。Moreover, trades a level, oneselfdoes not wantto see that the civiliansbleedin the war. Althoughthisisinevitable, butcanavoidbeing probableto avoid. The grass-rootpeoplelivedenoughdifficultlyalready, manypeoplelivedare livingto might as welldie, ifwere devastatedby the flames of waragain, ispitiful.

另外,换一个层面来说,自己也不想看到平民在战争中流血。尽管这是必然的,但是能够避免都要避免。底层民众原本的生活就已经够艰苦的了,许多人活着生不如死,如果再遭到战火摧残,更是悲惨。当然,也不排除穷得什么都没有的人,他们还指望着战争能够让他们翻身……毕竟,每只部队中的敢死队大多都是由穷鬼、乞丐、囚犯、欠高利贷的逃命之徒组成……Naturally, seizes the cityalsoto haveanother means that isspends money...... to spend moneyto buy over the official in city, buys the garrison troops, so long as the priceis highenough, somepeopleare willingto betray, after all, is drawing cashnext doorEmpireto ramblehalf a lifetimealsoratio dead inKislevthisdesolatedplacescomeswell. Similarly, so long asmoneyis enough, but can also hireforeignUnit, isasks the mercenariesto battle, like this, cantake over the citywithout firing a single bullet. Matter that so long asmoneycansolve, is not the matter...... was a pity,Northis not wealthy, supportsthishugeallied armiesto need the hugemilitary spending, the extrafunddo not think.
当然,夺下城市还有另外一个办法,就是用钱……用钱收买城中的官员,收买守军,只要价格足够高,就会有人愿意背叛,毕竟,拿着钱到隔壁帝国逍遥半辈子也比死在基斯里夫这片荒芜之地来得好。同样,只要金钱足够,还可以雇佣外籍部队,也就是请雇佣军作战,这样,也可以不费一兵一卒攻下城市。只要钱可以解决的事,都不算事……可惜,北境并不富裕,支撑起这支庞大的联军原本就需要庞大的军费开支,额外的资金更别想了。Is looking atErengrad under dark clouds, whydid not know, presents the Dannisfacial featuresat presentsuddenly. Sheas beforeis the 7 or 8-year-oldappearance, innocentappearance. Stretching out the arms to hug...... isfierceawakening, Dannis14 years old, butoneselfmanyyearshas not seenher, sawherprevioustimeafter the Erengradrebellionended, wasalsohasfouryears, even, even the Dannisappearance, somewhatforgot.
望着阴云下的厄仑格拉德,不知道为什么,眼前却恍然出现了丹尼斯的面容。她依旧是七八岁的模样,天真烂漫的样子。张开双臂就要抱抱……可是猛的惊醒,丹尼斯已经十四岁了,而自己也已经好多年没有见过她了,上一次见到她还是在厄仑格拉德叛乱结束后,距今也已经有四年时间了,甚至,连丹尼斯的容貌,都有些遗忘了。Whilethinks deeply abouttime, the rangertransmitted the latest information, Rodopened the letter of sealunder the vision that the peoplepaid attention. One the smallline of clearphrasesheave in sight——【Wewon, EmpireOrder of the Black Rosecatches upto supportat crucial moments, the Erengradnavywas defeatedthoroughly, attacks and sinksgunboateight, capturesgunboatfour, anothertwogunboatsbreak through. AdmiralErengradDizmais captured.】 The starting to writeplacewrites the Alvisname. Rodknows,thisis the Alvispersonal letter.
正当思索的时候,游骑兵传来了最新的情报,罗德在众人关注的目光下打开了密封的信件。一小行清晰的字眼映入眼帘——【我们胜利了,帝国黑玫瑰骑士团在关键时刻赶来支援,厄仑格拉德海军被彻底击败,击沉炮舰八艘,俘虏炮舰四艘,另有两艘炮舰突围。厄仑格拉德海军上将迪斯马被俘。】落笔处写着阿尔维斯的名字。罗德知道,这是阿尔维斯的亲笔信。„What does abovewrite?”
“上面写着什么?”
The officersworryto inquire, in this sensitiveandspecialtimenode, anyinformationis the importantinformation.
众将士着急询问着,在这个敏感而特殊的时间节点上,任何信息都是重要的信息。„The Erengradnavywas defeated.”
“厄仑格拉德海军被击败了。”Rodbrieflyreplied. Finishes speaking, the frontresounded the intermittentcheers of manyOfficerNorth. The victory of naval battlewithout doubtispresentdifficult position the war of collapsing, the powerfulErengradnavywas defeatedcontinually, thendoes not have anybesieging that canprevent the Northallied armies. Itgreatlyraised the morale of regiment. Whatis more important, the tacticwill be adjusted, the stormbecomesno longerwill, can definitely besiege a city, received exchange for the greatestvictoryby the smallestcasualties.罗德简短回答到。话音刚落,面前响起了众多北境军官们的阵阵欢呼声。海战的胜利无疑就是眼下困境的破局之战,连强大的厄仑格拉德海军都被击败了,便没有什么可以阻挡北境联军的围攻。它极大的鼓舞了军团的士气。更重要的是,战术将被调整,强攻变得不再必要,完全可以围城,以最小的伤亡换取最大的胜利。Rodalsothinkslike this. The Erengradcityhascharacteristics, thatisitsharboris a deepwater port, depends onthisharbor, it can definitely obtain the sufficientsupplies. Initially the Kislevregular armydoes not wantto siege the Erengradcity, considersthisissue. Therefore, without the fleet, thisharboris not then ableto be protected, so long asblocksit, the cityis not then ableto obtain the supplies, inErengrad that on the ruinsreconstructsis unable compared withinitiallyErengrad of thatpeak, itscommodity and grain in storageare mostonlyenoughmaintain for severalweeks. The present rangearrivesin the winterreturnssometime, Rodknows,oneselfcan waitcompletely.罗德也是这样想的。厄仑格拉德城有个特点,那就是它的港湾是深水港,靠着这座港口,它完全可以得到充足的补给。当初基斯里夫的正规军不想围困厄仑格拉德城,就是考虑到这个问题。所以,一旦没有了舰队,这座港口便无法得到保护,只要将它封锁起来,城市便无法获得补给,在废墟上重建的厄仑格拉德根本无法和当初那个巅峰时期的厄仑格拉德相比,它的物资和存粮最多只够维持几个星期。现在距离冬季到来还有一段时间,罗德知道,自己完全等得起。„Reinforcementfortification and ensure does not put a carriageto enter a city!”
“加固防御工事,确保不放一辆马车进城!”Stands in same place, Rodissuedat the sceneorders. The siege warfareturned into the besieged citywar. HemustencirclewatertightErengrad, treated the rebel when likeKatarininitially. Stated differently, initiallybloodyTzarinapreparedto massacre city, butRoddoes not preparethis. PresentErengradwas notin the pastthathugeErengradcity, in the cityso manycivilians, have not neededtoomuchgrainto force-feedthem. Won the given name of liberatorto comeimportantlycompared withanything.
站在原地,罗德当场发布命令到。攻城战变成了围城战。他要将厄仑格拉德围得水泄不通,像当初卡特琳娜对待叛徒时那样。不同的是,当初血腥的女沙皇准备屠城,而罗德并不准备这样。现在的厄仑格拉德并不是当年那个庞大的厄仑格拉德城,城里并没有那么多平民,不需要太多粮食就可以喂饱他们。赢得解放者的名号比起什么都来得重要。Butfortunately, the Greenskininvasionhas not caused the collapse of Northagriculture, except thatWatch Fortfalls to the enemy, inotherLordterritories, various industriesinfluencesare not big, therefore, the organizational strategycommodityis not a difficult matter.
而幸运的是,绿皮入侵并没有导致北境农业的崩溃,除了守望堡沦陷,其他领主的领地里,各行业影响并不大,所以,组织战略物资并不是一件难事。„Collectsmoregrain, once the city gateopens, wemustdeal with the civilians who over ten thousandare big and hungry.”
“筹集更多的粮食,一旦城门打开,我们必须应对上万饥肠辘辘的平民。”„Rod, do youplanto rescuethesecivilians?”
“罗德,你打算救助那些平民?”Jaegeris frowningto ask. Similarly the doubtsexpressionappearsoneachface.吉格尔皱着眉头问到。同样疑惑的表情浮现在每个人脸上。„Yes, wemustguarantee the food supply of thiscityin a short time, when the productiontradereturnright track of city, evacuatesagain. The unnecessarypopulationcanshifttoeachcastleplaces.”
“是的,短时间内我们必须保证这座城市的粮食供应,等到城市的生产贸易回归正轨,再撤离。多余的人口可以转移到各个城堡进行安置。”Rodrepliedby the steadfasttone.罗德以坚定不移的口吻回答到。„Perhapsthisis a bigfundinvests.”
“恐怕这又是一大笔资金投入。”„Procurement expenditureandtransportation cost...... in the winter of this yearfeared that is a suffering.”
“采购费用、运输成本……今年冬天怕是一场煎熬。”Deigersaid.狄盖尔接话到。„Visionlengthens the distant point, the brothers, the warcosts a great deal of money, itto usis a suffering, regardingKatarinsimilarlyis the suffering. Moreover, thatVampireQueendaywill not compareusto feel better, the heavy snowdestroyed the Kislevsuburbbigfarmland, above the grain reserves, ouradvantagesare even olderthanher. Endured, enduredthisdays, oncewegained the finalvictory, at that timethenlookedagain,youwill feel the pain of nowsufferingwas notanything.”
“眼光放长远点,兄弟们,战争费钱,它对我们来说是一场煎熬,对于卡特琳娜来说同样是煎熬。而且,那个吸血鬼女王的日子不会比我们好过,大雪摧毁了基斯里夫郊外大片农田,粮食储备上面,我们的优势甚至比她大。忍一忍,熬过这段日子,一旦我们取得了最终的胜利,那时候再回头看,你们会觉得现在所遭受的痛苦并不算什么。”Rodis grasping the fist, topeopleair-blowing. Although, the warfundsalsomakeRodfeelto love dearly, sixyears, make determined effortsBlackhammer Fort that develops, will consumegreatlyinthiswar . Moreover, so long as the fightdrags for twoyears, by the Northeconomic strength, will then feel that pressesstrength mountainto be big. However, leeway that jacta est alea, has not then taken back, everyoneis betting.罗德握着拳头,给众人鼓气。虽然,战争经费也让罗德感到心疼,六年时间,励精图治发展起来的黑锤堡,在这场战争中将会消耗巨大,而且,只要战斗拖上两年,以北境的经济实力,便会感到压力山大。但是,骰子已经掷出,便没有收回的余地,所有人都在赌。
