Greetings warriors of Calradia!
卡拉迪亚的战士们，大家好！

Picture the scene. You find yourself deep in enemy territory. After seizing an enemy stronghold, you pause for a respite. The campaign has been long and costly, and supplies are running low... And then, on the horizon, you see your worst fears realised. At first, a low rumble and a blur of colour, but then, slowly, the standards and banners of the enemy army come into focus. Your army is ill-prepared for a field battle, and so, you dig in.
想象一下这个情景：在你已深入敌境，攻占了敌军的要塞之后，你停下来就地整备。这场战役旷日以久而且消耗也很大，同时补给也快吃光了……但这时你发现地平线上出现了你担心的场面。首先，远方有低沉的轰隆声和模糊的影子，而在这之后，敌军飘舞的旗帜进入了你的眼帘。你的军队在这时并没有做好野战的准备，所以你决定就地防御巩固防线。

The situation seems hopeless. You are vastly outnumbered and time is not a commodity that you possess. Morale is wavering and your troops look to you to make a decisive decision. Do you hold your position and pray that reinforcements arrive before the walls are breached, or worse, you starve to death? Do you sally out to meet the attackers head-on in a brave, but ultimately, suicidal final charge?
在这种情况下希望很渺茫。你的人数处于劣势，而且你的时间也不够了。现在部队士气开始动摇，部下们都纷纷盼望你给出下一步的指示。你是要就地死守并祈祷援军在敌人攻城之前到来？或者更糟，你是不是要饿死在这里？或者说你想要最后当一次英雄去迎头痛击敌人，但最终变成一场死亡的万岁冲锋？

While we have already talked about certain siege mechanics in previous blogs, we didn’t discuss the different ways and trade-offs that are involved in any amount of detail. So, in this week’s blog, we’ll try to present players’ options related to sieges in a more comprehensive manner.
虽然我们在之前的日志中就讨论过某些攻城机制，但我们并没有讨论任何相关细节所涉及的不同方式和权衡。所以这周的日志中，我们会尝试以更全面说法来把攻城相关的选项展示给玩家。

Sieges in Bannerlord are dangerous affairs for both the besieged and the besiegers. If you are defending, you already may be facing bleak odds. The enemy may be bombarding your walls with trebuchets with the hope of creating a breach to exploit, or may be preparing an assault with siege towers and battering rams. You may be running out of food and losing your soldiers to starvation. But even in the direst situations, you have a number of options. You can keep waiting behind your walls, hoping that you will be able to beat off the assault or that a relief force will arrive soon and drive away the besiegers. Or alternatively, you may use your tactics skill to break out of the siege with relatively little loss and save yourself and the majority of your army from annihilation. Lastly, you may try to parley with the besiegers in the hope that they will allow you to pass through the siege lines unmolested in return for handing over the walls.
在《霸主》中，攻城对于攻方和守方都是很危险的事情。如果你在防守，你可能面对惨败的到来。敌人会用投石机轰炸城墙，以此期望制造一个突破口，或者准备用攻城塔和攻城槌进行攻击。这时你可能已经弹尽粮绝而士兵们都饥肠辘辘，但即便在这不利的局势下，你依然有很多选择。你可以固守城墙打退敌人的来袭，或者和援军里应外合大破攻城部队。亦或者说你可以利用你的战术技能来以相对较小的损失突破重围并拯救你和你的大部队免遭灭顶之灾。最后，你还可以尝试和攻城方谈判，希望他们能让你安然无恙通过封锁线而只需交出固守的城墙而已。

If you are outside and have come to the aid of a besieged castle, you again have options. You can attack the besiegers right away, and in general, the forces in the town will sally out to join the fight, and together, you may hopefully overwhelm the attackers. Another option is to stay mobile outside of the siege camp, harassing the enemy, attacking foragers and reinforcements in the hope that the enemy will run out of provisions before they can take the castle. If neither of those options has a good chance of success, you can also make use of your tactics skill and force your way through the siege, this time going into the castle rather than out, bringing much-needed supplies and troops as part of the relief effort!
如果你是在墙外并要支援被围攻的城堡，你依然有许多选择。你可以直接进攻围城方，一般来说，被围困的部队也会赶来加入战斗夹击敌军，而汇流的你们可以直接碾压进攻方。另一个选项就是在攻城营地外保持机动，骚扰敌军，攻击征粮队和增援部队，这样敌人就会在占领城堡之前就耗尽粮草。如果这两个选项成功率都不高，你还可以用你高超的战术技能，让你强行突破敌军防线进入城堡而不是突围，这让你带来的物资为守城部队雪中送炭！

All in all, understanding the available options in dealing with sieges is hugely important and may mean the difference between successfully defending and enlarging your domain, or sitting out the rest of the war in a cold and damp dungeon.
总之，了解攻城时可用选项时非常重要的事情，而且这也意味着能让你区别成功防御或者占领上风的不同之处，或者你在接下来期间都坐在冰冷阴暗的监狱中直到战争结束。
