382 Theseus State Banquet Collects Volunteers
Theseus, dressed in new clothes, went to the city gates, accompanied by his father. At this moment a small soldier brought two tall horses, and the king and the prince mounted at the same time, and the soldiers were ordered to open the gate and lower the drawbridge.
The rebels who were waiting outside the city for the hero to come into the city to confess their father saw that the young man on the horse was the stranger who had come from afar to confess his father, and at the same time received a wave from Theseus. The rebels shouted in unison: "Long live the king, long live the prince!" ”
Theseus did not lose his word, and took the bandits under his own name, and the rebellious army, which lasted for ten years, finally belonged to the country's army. The king ordered the whole country to eat the country for three days. The local treasury gave money for a three-day state banquet to celebrate the arrival of the prince Theseus.
In the royal banquet hall, the king of Athens took the new prince Theseus, and he killed the lion whip and tiger egg and leopard B along the way, and shouted to the civil and military officials: "While we celebrate the return of the prince, it is necessary for me to tell you about the prince's journey from afar. He killed more than thirty robbers and more than forty behemoths along the way. Look, here's a lion's egg, and a tiger's egg, and a leopard's B.
It has been more than twenty years since the last hero cleared this land route, and he is the famous Hercules, Hercules. Let's raise a glass to these two heroes who have cleared the level. ”
As the king's voice fell, the civil and military officials raised their glasses and drank freely, and the maids and court ladies sang and danced in the center of the wide hall, pushing the celebratory scene to a peak.
A few families are happy and a few are sad, as if the person who is going to die has been saved, no one can say whether this is a good thing or a bad thing, because the ghost is also regarded as a human world, then the king of Hades is derelict in his duty again, and the bonus deducted is small, if he is expelled as a ghost, it is not equivalent to the tiger becoming a dog, and he will not bow his head to live this remaining life?
It is said that Theseus also had an uncle, the younger brother of Aegeus. He had fifty children, and he had long coveted the throne, and was very annoyed with the new prince. Knowing that the prince from afar was a great hero, his uncle's family of fifty sons decided to get rid of the heir to the throne of the next generation.
"Sons. We don't know whether it's a funeral feast or a celebration feast today, and with the arrival of this new prince, our plan is that the next generation of heirs to the throne will be in vain. It may be that this is not only the case, but it is also possible that we will be kicked out of the country by him, because there has never been a royal family in history. The throne of the country is either openly or covertly contested, and there has never been a compromise. This is Theseus' uncle saying to his sons.
"Then we will ambush and assassinate the prince on the way he is going, and when the old king does not have a new prince to inherit the throne, it will not be ours?"
"Yes, brother is right, our fifty brothers secretly killed him on the way he was going, dug a pit and buried him, people don't know it, doesn't it mean that this hero has not returned? And the little prince. He is not up to the level of a hero, and he is not the heir to the throne of the next generation at all, which is the plan to get rid of it in the future. ”
"Is it okay to take heroes apart from dogs?"
“……”
“……”
Uncle Theseus's five sons all voted to get rid of Theseus, because he was so heroic, as long as he was there, his uncle's family would not have a good life, of course, only relatively. Because before Theseus arrived, his uncle's family could do almost whatever they wanted in Athens, and in just a few years they made Athens a civilized country.
Once again, the sun is shining on the walls and castles. Theseus was discussing with his father, King Aegeus, to get rid of the biggest rebel, and his uncle's five sons, because they all had the same bloodline, and they were all brave and warlike goods.
"Where are they?" Prince Theseus said.
"They are in Volos. There are already their own armed forces, and it will not be easy to recover. The king said.
(Please note that when you first write these chapters, you are going to write them all in one go, but considering the popularity of "The Lord of the Rings," Theseus vs. the Five Tigers.) (Fifty abbreviations) is also a good show. But as I wrote earlier, the brothers brought by Aegeus were all killed on the battlefield, and this loophole is full of loopholes, and it is up to the director to fill it. )
"Tomorrow I will lead troops to exterminate them and give the people of Athens a stable living environment." Theseus said.
"I don't think it's right, you'd better compete with heroes from all walks of life on the coaching field, let me see if you really have real kung fu like killing all the way, seeing is believing. And then you have killed all the way, it is all the ability of the rivers and lakes, not actual combat, I am afraid that it is different from the real knife and real gun. Son, you are my only one. Aegeus said to his son Theseus.
"I've thought about this, I'm afraid that after a long time, I'll hear someone say good things about my uncle's five brothers, when my anger disappears, don't say that I can't beat a tiger, even a sick cat I can't kill it, then you let me go on the expedition, how can I kill it?" This is the hero, who does not fight the war without hatred, and does not kill the hateless person.
While they were discussing when the battle would begin, a soldier came running from outside and said: "Report to your Majesty that Nissos is marching for Athens at Volos with his five sons." ……”
When he heard that the rebels had set out from Volos, Theseus smiled at his father, Aegeus, and said, "The time has come for you to witness my miracle." ”
"Start assembling the outside of the moat to train the troops." The king said.
Theseus' most inexperienced tactics were horseback tactics, so he rode on horseback as soon as he appeared. Hearing the order to train outside the moat, the little soldiers guarding the city gate quickly lowered the drawbridge, and Theseus held a machete in his hand and pinched the horse's belly on the horse's back, and the horse trotted up. At this time, a trumpeter blew a bull's horn. This was the rallying cry, and the rebels whom Theseus had collected were encamped outside the city, and when they heard the rallying cry, they all came out of their makeshift tents and joined together.
Theseus rode around the field on horseback, and finally returned to his rightful position and said, "I have heard that the rebels of Volos have begun to march towards Athens, and will reach our castle in about three days. We must practice spear fighting in these three days, do you all know how to fight with spears in the battle between the two armies? ”
In fact, where Theseus collected this is a group of rebels, it is purely a small group formed by a group of ruffians and hooligans, and they are all dumbfounded when they hear the boss say that the spears are fighting. Then the king led an army of his own housekeepers at the bottom of the box, and he said to the prince, "Theseus, my son. I now give you this unit that has been through countless battles, has good tactical experience, and can also be used as combat instructors. ”
"Thank you, Father. Friends, now let experienced people educate you, and you will start practicing one by one. With that, Theseus turned his head to his father, Aegeus.
Of course, Aegeus understood what his son meant, didn't he just let himself educate his son?
The king first taught his son kung fu on horseback, first spear to spear, and then spear to short sword. Finally, there is the offensive and defensive dodge.
"Look at the guns!" The king raised his spear and struck it at the prince's throat.
"Open!" The prince fell backwards, laid his head on the horse's buttocks, and single-handedly pulled away the spear that was coming at him.
"You have to attack, you only parry and don't fight back, this will lose the opportunity to take the initiative to advance, and it will be difficult to win the victory." Aegeus is passing meat to his son Theseus, this is a true tradition, unlike outsiders who teach their disciples, who always like to keep a hand.
"It's not that I don't attack, this is training, not a real fight, I'm afraid of hurting you." Theseus said.
"Look what you little devil say, let the horses come as much as you can, we all assume each other to be enemies, and don't follow rigid dogmas. It is necessary to use the agility of fighting against the enemy, be flexible and diverse, and change countless tricks. Because in actual combat, you can't know in advance what the opponent's next move will be, which is a test of your quick reaction ability. "Veterans teach recruits, listen to every word.
……
"Report that the rebels have reached a distance of fifty miles from the city."
"Revisit." Theseus said at the training.
"Eat. Dine. "The king ordered the soldiers to feast on the war meal first, and there was not much time for fifty miles, and after the meal they had to rest for a while.
In the past few days, the soldiers can be described as having a state banquet. The prince and the king and other royal families are all feeding themselves first, and once the war starts, the next meal is not known whether it will be in heaven or hell, and whoever dies will not die, although everyone has not said it, but you have to be prepared for this.
"Report, the enemy has set up camp at twenty miles."
"Got it, step aside." Theseus said.
"Hit him for a respite." Egers said.
"Friends, I, Theseus, will take you to meet the rebels who have come to fight today, there is nothing to prove whether a person is a hero or not, and going to war today is the best witness. Heroic struggle, big merit awards, small merit awards. "Prince Theseus is the commander-in-chief.
Aegeus rode alongside his son Theseus in the army. In front of the lineup were infantrymen, armed with spears and shields. The second lineup is the archers. The third and final lineup, the chariot phalanx. This is the regular formation of the two armies facing each other, and this is the drill lineup.
Theseus had studied since his grandfather's time, did he move forward like this? Definitely. This is a simulated formation, and it has to be disassembled to move forward vertically, otherwise where would such a wide road come from?
"Onward!" Coach Theseus gave an order.
The troops advanced in three columns, one column for infantry, one column for cavalry and archers, and a column for charioteers in the middle. This is a battle at the doorstep, just bring weapons, and after a long battle, its own defenders will transport grain and grass.
Although it was only twenty miles, the road was not very wide, and the three columns were almost squeezed into one, which made it impossible for the troops to advance quickly, starting at noon and reaching the front line at sunset.
……
"It is reported that the Athenian prince Theseus and his troops have arrived less than three miles from the camp." The soldiers of the rebel units said to the commander-in-chief.
"Revisit." This is the father of fifty sons, the commander of the rebels, and the uncle of Theseus, said Pallas. (To be continued.) )
