Chapter 113: Blind Nervousness
"Your Majesty, now we have released the usable Black Soul Legion according to your orders, and they are all the elite of the Black Souls." Malfurel had a weapon in his hand, and it looked like he might go out on patrol with his weapon after the report.
At this time, things became tense, and a solemn atmosphere permeated this fortress, except for the few legions that Guo Jia named and said, the other soldiers were basically in a state of difficulty sleeping. The dark night accompanied by the rain made the atmosphere here even more weird, it stands to reason that the Persians would not carry out this night attack, but according to Guo Jia's calculations, the Persian soldiers had suffered heavy casualties on their side after the whole day of war, Xerxes was labeled as tyrannical and arrogant by Guo Jia in his character, and there was also the pride of being a Persian, which made Guo Jia have to re-examine the state of the Persians.
"I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of what if." Guo Jia shook his head, and after sending off the first wave of Black Soul scouts, he had counted the situation about the Persians again. The rainy night greatly reduced visibility, which blinded the soldiers standing at the top of the fortress, and the Persian robes were completely different from Sparta, and most of the dark armor allowed them to blend in with the night. For Guo Jia, there was a message that forced him to release the scout. That is the casualties of the Persians.
So what is the state of casualties among the Persians all day today? The answer is absolutely, no harm. During the first wave of the Persian attack, they underestimated Sparta's hand-to-hand combat ability, resulting in heavy casualties, and before they could retreat, their king ordered the archers to release arrows, cutting off their vitality and killing them unharmed. This time, Persia was wiped out by Sparta, with no less than four or five thousand people, and Xerxes's sword rain caused them heavy casualties. In the second wave, the Persians advanced into the labyrinth, and were intercepted by Sparta in the labyrinth, this time at an unprecedented cost, killing nearly seven or eight men in that battle, according to one of the soldiers of the Guard. This is not a small number, you must know that Guo Jia didn't count the souls in his hands because he killed the red eyes, but if each soldier who participated in the encirclement and suppression of the maze killed an average of seven people, then they would have slaughtered three or four thousand people, and besides, which soldier was the one standing at the back of the entire battle group, this number definitely did not reach the average.
Starting with the hand-to-hand combat at the beginning, and then the encirclement and suppression of the labyrinth, plus the enemies trapped in the labyrinth, Xerxes basically killed nearly 10,000 to 20,000 of his soldiers in less than a day. And at this time, of course, this Xerxes will be furious, and even do something unexpected. What if this cargo directly lets its soldiers attack at night?
Guo Jiake didn't want to calculate what kind of benefits this would bring him, but he knew that once he was successfully attacked by Xerxes, all efforts at the hot spring pass would be burned, and Greece would be completely exposed to the Persians.
"Your Majesty, now I also have to keep up with a wave of dark soul scouts, I will be more relieved that they are here." Malfurel spoke, he had put his helmet on his head, and as long as Guo Jia nodded, Malfurel would rush out and follow the scouts of the Black Soul to investigate the enemy.
"Hey, you better wait a minute, I'm arranging a team, I'll go with you." Guo Jia shook his head, there was no way, now at this time, he was afraid of the sudden attack of the Persian army, which would not only put them in a situation where it would be difficult to get out but also make all his plans go to waste.
After finishing speaking, before Malfurel could react, Guo Jia had already returned to look for his armor, and in less than ten minutes, Guo Jia appeared here again in full armor, and Malfurel, who had not persuaded Guo Jia just now, also directly arranged the patrol scout team of the fourth team, they are basically an important combat force of the black soul, not for anything else, but to protect Guo Jia's safety in the event of an accident.
The black armor fit perfectly on Guo Jia's body, and he didn't wear the airtight helmet, because this kind of weather would make it even more difficult for his vision to see the road ahead because of the helmet. Guo Jia had already held his weapon in his hand, this was a brand-new long sword, the past one had already turned over because of the previous battle, and the sword was blunt. Guo Jia's eyes looked at Malfurel, and then he nodded to show that he was ready. And Malfurel also nodded and set off first, because he had to inform the soldiers and still need to make a series of preparations.
The rain is very heavy, the upper layer of the hot spring pass is mixed with a smell of earth is expelling the smell of the maze ruins that are like purgatory on earth, this rain is very urgent, look at this without stopping at all, the raindrops in the sky fall on the ground, each raindrop is the size of a soybean, the ground has been waterlogged so that the blisters appear suddenly, and in this case, the rain seems to fall without any stop.
"Malfurel, do you think the Persians will attack us?" Guo Jia asked.
If it was Malfurel who heard this, he would have told Guo Jia that the Persians would never attack here, and who would attack at will in this situation at night. But now Malfalil is still a strategist who can take care of everything, and he has remembered one thing since he learned Guo Jia's various art of war, that is, he thinks repeatedly, and he will repeatedly think about the possible consequences of every situation when it happens. And now, Malfurel shook his head, then nodded again.
"If I were Xerxes, I would definitely raid Hot Springs." Malfurel said that he did not speak to Guo Jia in an affirmative tone, which made Guo Jia feel a trace of emotion.
"The reckless men of the past are now so shrewd." Guo Jia smiled, and then continued to speak, "Let's go, I guess we won't be able to sleep well this night." ”
After speaking, Guo Jia took the brunt and walked to the front. The night rain brought cold, but the cold that beat the Spartan soldiers did not beat the cold outside the Persian camp, and Xerxes had been furious for half the night, and he had changed the commanders of the entire forward regiment because they had lied about the army. Xerxes spilled the reports of the battle that he had torn to pieces, and he wanted to kill all those who had neglected their duties, and reason overshadowed his rage, and he had only punished a few men.
"Fix it in place!" Xerxes's order would have taken Guo Jia by surprise, for he had not taken advantage of the convenience that the rainstorm had brought him, but continued to be self-conscious, feeling that his army was larger than Sparta, and had given up a great opportunity.
Xerxes knew what the rain meant, and of course he thought about taking advantage of it. But his pride made him give up this opportunity, and just as Sparta's stubborn resistance made him give up this opportunity. Because of the glory of being the leader of Persia, he wanted to use his brute strength to use the number of Persians to directly break through the defenses of Sparta, so that they would lose their confidence, destroy their pride, and make them never turn over. This is the little calculation Xerxes has in his heart.
"Emperor, but why don't we take this opportunity to catch Sparta off guard?" Similarly, there were many people who gave advice to Xerxes, and they were the same kind of people who were loyal to the Persian Empire. However, Xerxes's reasoning disappointed them a little.
The rain has been falling all night, and there is still no sign of stopping, the reason why Guo Jia didn't sleep all night made his head hurt a little, and the rain made him feel a little uncomfortable. It's the next day. Dark clouds obscured the sun, and darkness still shrouded the hot springs. Malfuriel and the soldiers of the Black Soul had wiped themselves clean and returned to the interior of the fortress to fall asleep. A night of worrying left them physically and mentally exhausted.
Guo Jia breathed a sigh of relief, the Persian army that had been waiting all night did not move, sending away another wave of scouts, Guo Jia looked at the continuous rainstorm. The feeling here was very distressing to him, and now the sky still felt like night, and the view of not being able to see anything clearly and the raindrops from the outside world made it impossible for him to control the movement of the Persians.
"This damn rain!" Guo Jia leaned against the stone wall and muttered, but this sound was heard by Carl Hughes.
Carl Hughes is a member of the pro-guard, and his mission last night was to rest, and today is the scout mission they have come to replace the dark souls.
"Your Majesty, it's good that it's raining heavily, at least it can wash away the killing here." Carl Hughes was talking about the purgatory of the labyrinth, and now the labyrinth that had harvested 10,000 people had become a ruin, and everything that had happened the day before had been washed away by the heavy rain, and the hot springs were spotless again. As if nothing had happened, only the corpses that could not be buried and the remains of the labyrinth remained.
"Neither can it wash away our iniquities, nor the wickedness of the Persians." Guo Jia said word by word, to know what kind of price the people along the way paid to block the advance of the Persians, and now the Persians may be less than one-tenth of the death rate of Greece.
"Carl Hughes, are you going out?" Guo Jia asked, in exchange for Karl Hughes's nod, "Go ahead, I hope I'm still worrying about it now, otherwise the Persian attack may cost us a lot." ”
Guo Jia's faint words revealed his feeling of breathing, as if he had let go of the heart he was carrying. , you are lonely, the young lady warms you with a movie
