Chapter 109: The Battle of the Persian Empire
The news of the arrival of the Persian Empire at Thermopylae sprung up to all the soldiers guarding the pass.
"Hahahaha! They're coming! Wait for me to die! The soldiers of the first line had reached their positions, nearly three thousand soldiers had blocked their bodies in front of the Hot Springs, and each of them was fully armed and there was one person in the middle of them, and that was their king, Guo Jia.
"One night should have given the Persians enough rest." Guo Jia looked at the enemy who was arranging troops on the coast, with an expectant smile on his face, and he found a small flaw in Black Watch, that is, this system itself will not be terminated if it does not die, because this message is not revealed in the rules of this system, because he did not say what the goal is.
And Guo Jia can carry out a more important thing in this war. It's about enjoying every crossing.
The shore was crowded with people, they were slowly approaching the hot springs, the reason for the number of people made the ground shake with every step, the tide of people came to the front, and they were surrounded by a man sitting on a golden throne, the funny beard and bald head made Guo Jia want to laugh, the luxurious throne was carried by dozens of people and slowly came out of the crowd, that person was the Persian king who boasted that Haikou was going to bulldoze Greece and Athens, Xerxes.
"Sparta! Surrender, you can't defeat my Persian army! Xerxes stood up from his throne and looked at Guo Jia on the ground.
"Hahahaha, warriors, will we Spartans surrender?" Guo Jia smiled and asked the soldiers behind him.
"Sparta will never surrender!" The Spartan warriors erupted in an earth-shattering roar, sending the Persian army back slightly.
"Foolish king of Sparta! You're leading your soldiers to the halls of Hades! Xerxes's voice was filled with contemptuous anger.
"Stupid? Xerxes! If you want to be stupid, who can compare to you? Guo Jia smiled and looked at Xerxes in front of him, "Ridiculous, do you really want to fight me?" This is where the Spartan town guarded. ”
"You! Can't you understand the number of people in our Persian Empire! An army of five million can turn you into powder! Xerxes said unashamedly.
"Ridiculous! Million? Do you count all your children and grandchildren? Guo Jia turned from a chuckle to a maniacal laugh, and he slammed the spear in his hand to the ground.
"Stupid!" Xerxes was now furious, and he was now eager to kill Guo Jia with his own hands. However, the two were separated by a hundred meters, and it was difficult for him to defeat the enemy with one move.
"King of Sparta, do you know that if our Persian warriors draw their bows and shoot arrows, we can obscure all the sky from the light of the sun!" Xerxes sat down again, he wanted Guo Jia to recognize the current situation.
"Hahahaha, that's ridiculous! A rain of arrows that obscure the sky? Well, then come, our defenders of Sparta will fight you in the shade created by this rain of arrows! Guo Jia smiled, now he regretted a little why he didn't bring his own archer, it was still very possible to take Xerxes's life at such a close distance!
"You!" Xerxes spoke angrily, as if he was about to say something, but he sat down again without a word. With a wave of his hand, the slave under the throne moved backwards with his throne on his shoulders.
It seems that once Xerxes retreats to the rear, the battle for the defense of Hot Springs Pass will break out. Compared to Xerxes's retreat, Guo Jia didn't do this, he wanted to know everything on the battlefield, so he still stayed in the middle of the soldiers.
"Array!" Guo Jia spoke, and his soldiers immediately changed their formation when they heard this voice, and the Spartan soldiers divided into three teams stood at the three entrances of the labyrinth, and pointed their spears at the opposite Persian army.
"If they release arrows, we will rush out and fight them hand-to-hand, if they don't release arrows, then we will watch them here!" Guo Jia said to Malfuriel!
"Good!" Xerxes' throne carried him away, and at that moment a shrill trumpet sounded. Xerxes's army attacked.
The arrogant Persian army heard the trumpet, and they rushed to follow it. However, their arrogance will cost them more than ever, and the Persian army has lost its proper formation, and they pounce on the lamb like a wolf, and this time the wolf has chosen the wrong person, the Spartans are not lambs, they are tigers.
The Persians, who had lost their proper formation, also lost the support of their archers, and the speed of their movement allowed them to set off on a hand-to-hand battle with the Spartan soldiers in the first place, and this is how they lost the opportunity to retreat.
"Give me a good fight!" Guo Jia stabbed the spear in his hand into the chest of the enemy, and his roar was transmitted to the ears of every soldier involved in the war.
"Kill!" This was the encouragement, Guo Jia mobilized his soldiers as a whole with just one sentence, and the fury of Sparta broke the hearts of the Persians.
And this shout of killing made their strength even stronger, and the Persians who ran in front of them in just an instant were slaughtered, and the price paid by Sparta was only a little strength.
"Ready, here we go again!" The advantage of a large number of people is this, the soldiers of Sparta are like farmers with scythes in their hands, cutting off these weeds in Persia to the roots, but there are too many weeds, and the eyes are looking at those soldiers who are endless.
"Kill!" Now Guo Jia is already red-eyed, he has already thrown down the spear and pulled out the steel blade, slashing at the Persian's body one by one, the blood has dyed his armor red, and even penetrated into his body from the cracks, and the viscous sweat mixed with the smelly blood makes him uncomfortable now.
"Cone Array!" Now that the soldiers of Sparta have fallen into a disadvantage, there are too many of them to kill cleanly, Guo Jia needs to let them regain control of the battlefield, with an order, the soldiers who have been practicing for several years immediately formed a phalanx with an acute angle triangle.
And this phalanx is like a knife stuck on paper and instantly breaks through the dense crowd, Guo Jia is the first to bear the brunt this time, his position is at the forefront of his formation, the heavy armor can completely block their attacks, Guo Jia is not afraid that they will cause any damage to himself at all.
"Strangling!" Seeing that he was almost charged, Guo Jia instantly asked the soldiers to change their formation, and the triangular phalanx continued to retreat directly from the two sides, while they completely surrounded the soldiers behind them, and the battlefield in front of the labyrinth was emptied by them again. However, the Persian offensive had no intention of stopping.
The position where the Spartan soldiers stood was like a red lake, the yellow ground was stained with blood, the smell of rust and blood permeated the front of this labyrinth, hundreds of dead mixed with mutilated corpses piled up into small hills, the Persians were still about to hit the Spartan defenders one after another, they may be hateful, they may be forced to helpless, everyone clenched the weapons in their hands.
However, no matter how they attacked, the Persians still faced death, and the number of troops seemed to be a joke, and everyone could not penetrate Sparta's defenses.
The heavy sound of the "buzzing ......" horn sounded particularly harsh, and the faces of the attacking Persians showed despair, and they turned back for some reason. And the soldiers of Sparta seized the opportunity to give them the final blow.
The attack seemed to stop, and the locust-like Persians stopped their tracks. Guo Jia raised his head and looked into the distance suspiciously, suddenly, his pupils constricted, and the sky on the side of the Persian army darkened, it was their arrow.
As Xerxes said, the Persians rained enough arrows to cover the sky.
"The whole army retreats towards the second line of defense!" Guo Jia reacted instantly. He looked at the sky in the distance, and he confirmed a little! Xerxes is going crazy now, no, it's Xerxes who are crazy!
You know, there is also their Persian army here! Why did this decision come about! Aren't they afraid of hurting their allies? After turning his mind, Guo Jia thought that Xerxes was not a benevolent king in the first place! For the fruits of victory, he will do whatever it takes, even if the price is too great, even if he has his own soldiers in the price!
"Retreat!" The second order to retreat brought the Persians back to their senses under the rain of arrows. Instead of retreating, they attacked the Spartan defenders again with a look of glory and despair!
"Don't fight! Fall back! "There are too many Persians, and it is absolutely impossible for Guo Jia to make the decision that Xerxes can abandon his soldiers at will. You must know that the total number of soldiers guarding the hot spring pass is only 10,000!
"Get out of the way!" The soldiers knew what Guo Jia was talking about, and they really saw the dense rain of arrows in the sky. If they can't evacuate this place in time, they will definitely die in this way!
"Let's die together!" The Persians rushed at the Spartan soldiers with a sickly roar, they were going to trade their lives for the victory of Persia!
Both sides had already killed the red eye, and even Guo Jia had just pulled his sword blade out of the body of a collapsed Persian soldier. The rain of arrows has blocked the sun in the sky, and the rain of arrows like locusts crossing the border is about to fall, and Guo Jia and they can't delay any longer!
"Fast forward to the maze! There's a shield inside the labyrinth! "Fortunately, he is fully prepared, Guo Jia has put a lot of weapons in the labyrinth here, and he is afraid that his own weapons will be curled up in a protracted battle.
"Retreat! Prepare for the Second Front Campaign! Guo Jia is a little angry now, he thought that he could kill 10,000 people here, but it seems that this number is far from enough! And Xerxes's crazy actions forced him to retreat. , you are lonely, the young lady warms you with a movie
