When the Lucania tribe allied armies in the distance hope the army two li (0.5 km), stopped the advance, they also start formation. 卢卡尼亚部落联军在距离希军两里时,停止了前进,他们也开始列阵。 The Greek army are only the static waiting, has not seized the chance to attack. This is not strange, because Thurii the scene that wants to fight to change it to come under attack passively, but Lucania also wants to use this war, thoroughly eliminates the Thurii surplus powers, therefore the battle is the common wish of both sides. 希军只是静静等待,没有趁机进攻。这并不奇怪,因为图里伊希望一战而改变它被动挨打的场面,而卢卡尼亚也希望利用这一战,彻底消灭图里伊剩余力量,因此会战是双方的共同意愿。 If hopes the army to attack at this time, that the Lucania tribe allied armies finished without the set up formation, can only withdraw, but the infantry pursues the infantry, is very difficult to catch up under one kilometer distance, eventually will only cause the time of battle to retard. This regarding already General Thurii who prepare careful, is not unacceptable. The citizens are unable to accept, because this means that they must feel alarmed and anxious a longer time. 如果希军此时进攻,卢卡尼亚部落联军在没有布阵完毕的情况下,只能后撤,而步兵追击步兵,在一千米的距离下是很难追得上的,最终只会导致会战的时间推后。这对于已做好精心准备的图里伊将军们而言,是无法接受的。公民们也无法接受,因为这意味着他们还得担惊受怕更长的时间。 The Greek army gave the Lucania tribe allied armies' sufficient time set up formation, but Lucanians is also making full use of this time. Because the mounted scout had reported to the leaders of tribe allied armies the general situation of hoping the army set up formation, the allied armies leaders after the urgent discussion, decided all troops' positions in quickly: Grumentum city big leader Akpir leads its tribe soldier 6000 people in center ; Nerulum and soldier 4500 people of Laos these two cities in left flank ; But Grumentum main Ally Lucania another powerful tribe of area unites 4000 people that big leader Cincinnag of Pyxous city leads, in addition Bruttii area soldier 1500 people of Vergae city, 5500 people, in right flank. Lucania tribe allied armies entire force 16,000 people, without cavalry. 希军给了卢卡尼亚部落联军充足的时间布阵,而卢卡尼亚人也在充分利用这个时间。由于探马已向部落联军的首领们汇报了希军布阵的大致情况,联军首领们经过紧急商讨,很快决定了各部队在阵中的位置:格鲁门图姆城大首领阿克庇鲁率领其部落战士六千人在中路;尼乌图姆与拉俄斯这两城的战士共四千五百人在左翼;而格鲁门图姆的主要盟友-卢卡尼亚地区的另一个强大部落联合皮科西斯城的大首领辛辛纳格所率领的四千人,再加上布鲁提地区的维格城的战士一千五百人,共五千五百人,在右翼。卢卡尼亚部落联军全部兵力一万六千人,没有骑兵。 The Grumentum city has been going on an expedition in the two years, its big leader Akpir is also experiences militarily richly, before battle he sent many scouts to put on makeup to enter the harbor of Thurii city( here is freeman most places, good and bad people mixed up, by discovery, was not obtained many news easily), the recombination the return of scout, he has haggling over today: Although Greek army center Thurii citizen soldier many old, but the population are many, does not allow to look down upon, is coped by him personally ; Greek army right flank is the Taranto reinforcements, heard that this army repels Messapians in Taranto repeatedly, it is estimated that the battle efficiency is not bad, Nerulum and Laos are the sister cities, coordinates the aspect is not the issue, 4500 people, cope with them to have more than enough to spare ; But hopes the left flank population of army to be least, mounted scout almost eyes see differences in it and other person from a different world numbers, because its population are too really few. It is said this Greek mercenaries once expedited Persia, but Akpir heard these after their stories, thinks that the hearsay of related this army is exaggerating, does not lose a battle and escape in Persia, doing business Greeks always likes boasting itself. He does not have the concept to remote Eastern great nation Persia, thinks 2000 people of armies again also limitedly, but the fierceness of Pyxous soldier is not weak in Grumentum, its big leader Cincinnag ability is not weak, moreover son Nutter( similarly is also the Akpir son-in-law), the brave crown entire clan, 4000 soldiers add on 1500 Bruttii soldiers again, is almost three times of opposite party military, can definitely rout to hope army left flank at one fell swoop. Therefore, he locked the chance in oneself right flank. 格鲁门图姆城这两年一直在征战,其大首领阿克庇鲁也算是在军事上经验丰富,在开战前他就派了不少探子化装进入图里伊城的港口(这里是自由民最多的地方,鱼龙混杂,不容易被发现),得到了不少消息,再结合今天探子的回报,他心里早已有了计较:希军中路的图里伊公民兵虽然有不少年龄稍大,但人数多,不容小视,由他亲自对付;希军右翼是塔兰图姆援军,听说这次部队在塔兰图姆多次击退梅萨皮人,估计战斗力也不差,尼乌图姆与拉俄斯是姊妹城,配合方面不是问题,四千五百人,对付他们绰绰有余;而希军的左翼人数最少,探马几乎一眼就看出它与其他两路人数上的差异,因为它的人数实在太少。据说这支希腊雇佣军曾经远征波斯,但阿克庇鲁听说那些关于他们的故事后,认为有关这支部队的传闻过于夸张,不就是在波斯打了败仗、逃跑回来而已嘛,经商的希腊人总爱吹嘘自己。他对遥远的东方大国波斯没有概念,认为两千人的部队再强也有限,而皮科西斯战士的勇猛不弱于格鲁门图姆,其大首领辛辛纳格的能力也不弱,而且儿子格奈纳特(同样也是阿克庇鲁的女婿),勇冠全族,四千名战士再加上一千五百名布鲁提战士,几乎是对方兵力的三倍,完全能够一举击溃希军左翼。因此,他把胜机锁定在了自己的右翼。 The Lucanians set up formation is quite rapid, because their arrays like not hoping the army are so strict, the loose formation causes originally on the huge team obviously huge. 卢卡尼亚人的布阵比较迅速,因为他们的阵列不像希军那么严密,松散的阵型使得原本就庞大的队伍更显庞大。 As several long bull horn bugle calls resound, this astonishing amount of army overwhelming presses slowly to the Greek army...... 随着几声悠长的牛角号声响起,这次数量惊人的军队排山倒海般的向希军缓缓压来…… The battle must start! The Friis somewhat muddy old eyes has been able to see the shadow of opposite enemy. He long inspires, blows up the somewhat withered chest, turns over/stands up dismount, instruction along slave: „Brings my weapon and helmet!” 会战就要开始了！斐瑞斯有些混浊的老眼已经能看见对面的敌人的影子。他长吸了一口气,鼓起有些干瘪的胸膛,翻身下马,吩咐随身奴隶:“把我的武器和头盔拿来！” At this moment, he hears one of the front soldiers to clamor. 就在这时,他听到前方士兵们的一阵喧哗。 „What happened?” Asking that he has doubts, the surroundings person equally has doubts. He has to start again, fixes the eyes on looked toward the front, the front has no change. May look following the direction that the soldiers are in a tumult, he saw left flank several hundred soldiers ran out of phalanx, runs to opposite Lucanians...... “发生了什么事？”他疑惑的问,周围人同样疑惑。他只好再次上马,定睛往前方看,前方没有什么变化。可顺着士兵们骚动的方向看,他看到了左翼几百名士兵冲出了方阵,向对面的卢卡尼亚人跑去…… What is their is making? Can surrender to the enemy?...... Friis thinks this possibility, in the heart has the chill in the air: Such that really such as some people said that ‚does not have the mercenary of sense of belonging is not unreliable’! 他们这是在做什么？难道是要向敌人投降？……斐瑞斯一想到这个可能性,心中顿生寒意:难道真如有些人说的那样,‘没有归属感的雇佣兵不可靠’！ .................................... ……………………………… Epiphanes and Cid lead more than 600 light infantries to run the array, welcomed dense Lucania tribe allied armies right flank to rush over. They are not surrender certainly, but requests continuously one new tactic that trains in the execution according to Captain Davos: Namely before both armies bump, first gives the enemy with the light infantry by long-distance killing, achieves to frustrate the enemy sharp qi and chaotic its formation goal. 埃皮忒尼斯和茨皮特率领六百多名轻步兵跑出阵列,迎着黑压压的卢卡利亚部落联军右翼冲了过去。他们当然不是去投降的,而是在执行按照戴弗斯首领要求一直在演练的一种新战术:即两军相碰之前,用轻装步兵抢先给敌人以远程杀伤,达到挫敌锐气、乱其阵型的目的。 Facing the huge quantity of enemies, the alone several hundred soldiers are similar to the young tree in strong winds, has the danger that was blown to fold anytime, this psychological pressure and fear will make the yellowbelly collapse, temperance that but these soldiers' in the Persia battle path fight hundreds and thousands of times, spirit already extremely tenacious, their lineups disperse, but is not chaotic, the speed of first flushing is instead speeding up. 面对数量庞大的敌军,孤零零的几百名士兵就如同狂风中的小树,随时都有被吹折的危险,这种心理上的压力和恐惧会令胆小者崩溃,但这些士兵在波斯征途中成百上千次战斗的锤炼,精神已经极其坚韧,他们的阵形散而不乱,前冲的速度反而在加快。 From enemy less than 400 meters, Epiphanes and Cid almost also shout: „Stone soldier prepares!” 当距离敌军不到四百米时,埃皮忒尼斯和茨皮特几乎同时喊道:“投石兵准备！” The stone soldiers stop the footsteps, starts to loosen to entangle in the stone rope of waist ; But other soldiers continue to go forward, quickly when to distance enemy 100 meters, the archers stopped the footsteps ; But 400 peltasts are still jogging the advance...... 投石兵们停住脚步,开始解下缠在腰间的投石索;而其余士兵继续前进,快到距离敌军一百米时,弓箭手们停住了脚步;而四百名轻盾兵还在跑步前进…… Why Pyxous Guelet Rutter receives the love of tribe soldiers, that is because his each war takes the lead, rushes ahead in the first line. Saw the Greeks platoon that these wear skin armor becomes two very loose skirmisher's lines, straight to/clashes, from the beginning some of his also doubts. Pyxous north is Greek city-state Illia, Pyxous invades its territory repeatedly, the both sides fight is frequent, to the Greeks forms of combat, Nutter is quite familiar, but he has also never seen the so strange action. But quick, when Greeks holds up the spearhead that the cold light sparkles, when the starting to walk stride, makes the preparatory movement that throws, he is startled: „Careful javelin!! Defense!!” 皮科西斯的格赖拉特为什么受部落战士们的爱戴,那是因为他每战都身先士卒,冲杀在第一线。见到这些身穿皮甲的希腊人排成两条很松散的散兵线,直直的冲上来,一开始他还有些疑惑。皮科西斯的北面是希腊城邦伊利亚,皮科西斯多次入侵其领地,双方战斗频繁,对希腊人的战斗方式,格奈纳特是比较熟悉的,但他还从未见过如此奇怪的举动。但很快,当希腊人举起寒光闪闪的矛头,迈开大步,作投掷的预备动作时,他大吃一惊:“小心标枪！！防御！！” Several hundred javelins have the swift and fierce wind sound/rumor, comes. The experienced peltasts not throw straightly, but throws the syncline front. Although Lucanians complete Greek Hoplite equipment, actually without learning Greek Hoplite „I protect others and others protect me” the principle, hurried closely protects oneself the round shield, making the slightly loose battleline reveal big crevices, this type was aggravated the javelin of spearhead by Davos specially slanting across the gap of shield and shield, digs in tribe soldiers multi-layer agglutination the rib region of flax armor blocking, scream resounds, drops down a piece. 几百根标枪带着凌厉的风声,呼啸而至。经验丰富的轻盾兵们并非直线投掷,而是抛向斜前方。虽然卢卡尼亚人全副希腊重步兵装备,却没有学会希腊重步兵的“我护别人、别人护我”的原则,匆忙的将圆盾紧紧护住自己,使得原本就略显松散的阵线露出一个个较大的空隙,这种被戴弗斯特意加重了矛头的标枪斜穿过盾与盾的间隙,多数扎入部落战士们多层胶合的亚麻盔甲遮挡的肋部,惨叫声响起,倒下一片。 Nutter responded quickly, blocked the javelin that threw with the shield, the javelin pierced the copper sheet of round shield outsourcing unexpectedly, sewed on the shield. In he wants to capture the javelin, nearby person shouted: „Careful bow and arrow!!” 格奈纳特反应快,用盾牌挡住了掷来的标枪,标枪竟然刺穿了圆盾外包的铜皮,钉在了盾牌上。就在他想把标枪拔掉时,旁边的人大喊:“小心弓箭！！” The arrow arrow and stone pound down like the raindrop...... 箭矢、石块如雨点般砸下…… Nutter's head suffered one, although there is a helmet protection, but also causes his dizziness, nearly tumbles. 格奈纳特的头上挨了一块,虽然有头盔保护,但也使他一阵晕眩,险些跌倒。 The bow and arrow flying stone attack of this wave of mercenary, Lucanians loses not in a big way, lets in Lucania right flank first several rows of confusions, but the Greek peltasts seize the chance to project the second round of javelin, makes the javelin lethality rise sharply...... 这一波雇佣兵的弓箭飞石打击,卢卡尼亚人损失不大,却让卢卡尼亚右翼中部的前几列一片混乱,但希腊轻盾兵们趁机投出第二轮标枪,就使得标枪杀伤力大幅上升…… .................................... ……………………………… Friis and Kunogelata were seeing immediately this scene eye ascends speechless, they have guessed the battle efficiency of Davos mercenaries, but cannot think absolutely can be the so novel tactic, but effect so astonishing! 斐瑞斯、库诺戈拉塔在马上看到这种景象都目登口呆,他们猜测过戴弗斯雇佣军的战斗力,但绝对想不到会是如此新奇的战术,而效果是如此的惊人！ Sees the part of battlelines of enemy right flank front row is almost torn to pieces, the Kunogelata exciting loudness said: „If we had known these mercenaries are so fierce, we should learn from them sooner, with this tactic!” 看到敌军右翼前列的一部份阵线几乎是支离破碎,库诺戈拉塔兴奋的大声说道:“早知道这些雇佣兵如此厉害,我们应该早些向他们学习,采用这种战术！” Friis shakes the head: „Our light infantries so will not be bold, are separated from phalanx several hundred meters away, goes to the active offense huge quantity of enemies, the mercenary who also only then these have fought many battles dares to use, perhaps this is they from the Persia study tactic.” On the Friis mouth said that at heart regret: Also without the official engagement, the battle efficiency of Davos mercenaries exceeded his expectation, perhaps should according to that mercenary young leader's suggestion, give out him another 2000 mercenaries...... 斐瑞斯摇摇头:“我们的轻步兵可不会如此大胆,脱离方阵几百米远,去主动攻击数量庞大的敌人,也只有这些身经百战的雇佣兵才敢这么用,恐怕这是他们从波斯学来的战术吧。”斐瑞斯嘴上这么说,心里还是有一丝后悔:还没有正式接战,戴弗斯雇佣军的战斗力就超出了他的预期,或许应该按照那个雇佣兵年轻首领的建议,把另两千雇佣军拨给他…… Friis pressed this thought: Since the initial plan has carried out, that is best to carry out! This is the experience that his many years join the army come. 斐瑞斯将这个念头压了下去:既然最初的计划已经执行,那就最好执行到底！这是他多年从军得来的经验。 „Quick prepare for battle, the enemy must attack!” He reminded the surrounding soldier, while dismounted, started the clothing helmet. “快准备战斗,敌人要进攻了！”他一边提醒周围的士兵,一边下马,开始穿戴头盔。
