Min stepped on the mudflats with one foot, and then stomped a few more times before looking back at Chen Qingzhi behind him, "I won't take a boat next time I am killed, I would rather take someone around Asia Minor into Greece." ”

"That's at least three more months to go, and it's a hassle to get fed." Chen Qingzhi definitely didn't think that Ran Min's words were joking with him, so he answered this old friend quite seriously.

"Those Romans' tortoise shells look pretty good." Looking at Chen Qingzhi's expressionless face, Ran Min opened the topic, the closer he got to Greece, the more terrifying his old friend seemed to become.

On the bridge of the red dragon, Zhou Yan looked at the stone fortress built by the Romans in the distance of the beach, and looked disappointed, he didn't expect the Romans to give up the beach, making it difficult for the red dragon's terrible firepower advantage to play, "It's really the same as a turtle." Seeing that the Romans were indifferent to Chen Qingzhi and Ran Min's landing, Zhou Yan couldn't help but mutter.

In the woods not far from the beach, the Roman legion commander Kyle looked at the behemoth Red Dragon and the rest of the ships on the sea, and couldn't help but gasp, fortunately the fortifications were built far away from the beach, otherwise, thinking of the navy's description of the firepower of the Tang Army's giant ships, Kyle thought that Julius was wise to base himself on the defensive goal.

Without a navy, Kyle could only watch as the enemy's army methodically assembled and repaired on the tidal flats, and although he wanted to take his men on a sneak attack, he had no choice but to retreat when Chen Qingzhi's scouts appeared near the woods. Defending is what he's supposed to do.

In the tent of the temporary camp on the tidal flat, Contriano dressed and followed Chen Qingzhi, Ran Min and other generals around the map of Greece, "After taking the stone forts and fortresses in front, it is the Hot Spring Pass, I heard that the Romans are heavily defended there, and they plan to give us a dismount." The handsome whip in Chen Qingzhi's hand pointed to a certain place on the map, and then several Spartan generals who followed Ran Min jumped up. It was at Thermopetaneous Pylae that their ancestors sniped the Persian army. For the Spartans. Thermopylae is their holy place, and now the damned Romans want to defeat them in the place where their ancestors died in battle, which is the greatest insult to them.

Chen Qingzhi was very satisfied with the reaction of the Spartans, and the strongest force available to him at the moment was Ran Min's mixed Spartan and Han hoplites, and it was important to stir up their morale at the right time.

"Before we reach Thermopylae, we have to face a position defended by an infantry legion of the Romans." Chen Qingzhi told everyone present the news obtained from the scout's reconnaissance, "I have to admit it. The Romans built the fortifications to a first-class level, so we couldn't afford to waste our time and we had to take out this obstructive infantry legion before more of their troops came in for reinforcements. ”

Chen Qingzhi's military meeting was not long, after all, he had heard of the almost shameless stubborn style of the Romans, and he did not think that he could let the Romans leave their tortoiseshell-like fortifications and come out to fight them head-on, in such a situation, except for the onslaught. He had no other choice.

Three days later. Chen Qingzhi's Greek troops began to attack the Romans' fortifications, first bombarding the Romans with ballistas and trebuchets, but it was clear. The fortifications built by the Romans were strong enough to withstand the dense bombardment.

"Damn the Romans, how much the hell have they thickened the walls." Seeing that the stone projectiles of the ballistas could only leave some dents in the fortifications built by the Romans, rather than breaking them down, Contriano, who commanded the troops, cursed and hated the shameless stubborn style of the Romans.

"Looks like our ballistas aren't powerful enough?" Ran Min, who had never participated in the war, and Chen Qingzhi, who was also leisurely, observed the battlefield and said this after seeing that ballistas and trebuchets could not destroy the Roman fortifications.

Chen Qingzhi did not answer, because he felt that it was not so much that their ballistas were not powerful enough, but that the Roman fortifications were harder than turtle shells, and if the 'Red Dragon' could be pulled ashore, with the giant trebuchet on it, it would be possible to destroy the Roman fortifications, but this idea was obviously unrealistic.

In front of the fortifications, lying full of the corpses of the attacking Greek infantry, the Romans were not much worse than Chen Qingzhi in siege equipment, although there was still a gap in the range and power of technical weapons such as ballistas and trebuchets, but it was very small, and for the attacking Greek infantry, everything was like a nightmare.

In the end, Contriano, who had failed several attacks, had to stop this senseless attack, and Mingjin withdrew.

At night, in the tent, Contriano found Chen Qingzhi, as the commander of the Greek infantry, with a Greek British on his head

He didn't want his first battle to be caught in the shameless stubborn defense of the Romans.

"The Romans' fortifications are no longer something that can be destroyed with ballistas and trebuchets alone, you have to mobilize their armies out, or try to concentrate your fire on one of their fortifications, and then send your infantry to assault and occupy their fortifications from point to point." Looking at Contriano who came to ask for advice, Chen Qingzhi explained in detail, after all, the Greeks have always been allies of Great Qin, and after the Greek parliament fell to the Romans, a large number of Greek scholars and merchants fled to the Tang State to seek refuge from Leon, and Greece itself, most of the Greeks are inclined to them, and the information about the Romans is provided by Greek agents, plus the population of Greece is not too much, they can completely integrate the Greeks in a peaceful way, Therefore, Li Ang asked Contriano to command the Greek troops trained by Chen Qingzhi, so that he could use his identity to recruit the Greeks in the future.

The next day, Contriano, who received Chen Qingzhi's guidance, first sent his eloquent soldiers to the Roman fortifications to scold the Romans, trying to provoke the Romans, although the Greeks were famous for their eloquence, but when it came to scolding, they were still inferior to the Han Chinese, and for a time the Romans and Greeks were far apart and scolded each other.

"Are you sure they're scolding?" Ran Min, who was with Chen Qingzhi, looked at the Greeks who were raising their heads in front of the fortifications, as if they were reciting poetry, and looked at a few Spartan subordinates beside him and asked.

"Yes, sir." Several Spartans replied, somewhat surprised by Ranmin's reaction, and although they didn't like the Athenian-born guys, the scolding of the fellows was perfect in terms of logic, pronunciation, and pronunciation.

"It looks like it's a mistake to let them go and curse on their own." Chen Qingzhi knew Greece better than Ran Min, and watched the people sent by Contriano turn into eloquent orators and bards one by one, Chen Qingzhi shook his head.

"You go over together and tell them what to do." Chen Qingzhi finally couldn't stand it anymore, so he asked the Macedonian soldiers next to him and a few Han veterans who followed him to help out in front of the battle.

So before the Roman fortifications, a few Greeks who had been talking about it suddenly became dumbfounded, and they listened to the Macedonians' relays, and they were all dumbfounded, and it was difficult for them to understand things such as '**Your eighteenth ancestor, ***, your mother is a bitch.'" The logic of these words, and I don't know how to add modifiers to these words.

"Tell them, don't talk nonsense, just follow their words." After being asked for the third time about the so-called logic and rhetoric of discourse, several of Chen Qingzhi's Han Chinese veterans erupted, and they almost roared to their Macedonian counterparts next to them, telling those Greeks to stop boring questions. The ancient Greeks were indeed boring and strange, and they could refuse to serve in the army when the enemy attacked them, even when they were fighting the Persians, in order to watch the games.

Under the harsh warnings of the Macedonians and the horrified expressions of the Han Chinese veterans, several Greeks gave in, and they uttered the expletives uttered by several Han veterans in the most straightforward way, even though they themselves felt awkward.

In a series of scolding that seemed unaesthetic and subdued to the Greeks, the Romans in the fortifications were enraged, so at the head of the city, after being suppressed by the officers, the Romans began to learn from the Greeks to scold, so the Greeks who originally thought that these words were illogical at all realized the great lethality of them, and the scolding array is also a science, and those vulgar, illogical and aesthetic words are combined, but they can make people irrepressible anger, there is no doubt that The Greeks realized that scolding was very different from their rhetoric and eloquence.

"My poor mother, I'm going to kill those Greeks!" Obviously, when the Greeks realized what a real scolding was, the Romans were completely at a disadvantage thanks to the full tone and high-pitched pronunciation they had gained from practicing eloquence.

"Damn the Greeks." The officers of Rome crushed the angry soldiers, cursing the shameless and vile Greeks, and the dirty language of those bastards would make even God angry if he heard it.

Despite the crowd of Roman soldiers, Kyle kept them down, he knew the Greeks were provoking them out of the fortifications, and he couldn't be fooled, my poor mother, and I swore I would one day slaughter the damned Greeks. Kyle said silently in his heart, the expression on his face hideous.
