Chapter 276 The Great Army Siege of the City

Although Xerxes said that he personally led the army to crusade against Greece, how could the supreme emperor really lead the army to charge like a general, in addition to the primitive and barbaric civilization of Yuanmeng and Sparta, the so-called royal conquest was just far away from the rear of the army, while spending a lot of manpower and material resources to supply the emperor with luxury along the way, it was also necessary to divide more so-called elites of the headquarters to protect the emperor's side, before the battle, after the generals set the specific battle plan, First of all, the plan must be sent to the emperor to wait for the divine will of heaven, and it can only be implemented after it has passed the review and returned to the hands of the generals again.

If this battle is won, then it is the wise decision of the great emperor, once defeated, then all the sins will be distributed to all the generals and soldiers of the army, this complicated and redundant steps, and a large amount of additional consumption is still secondary, the biggest trouble of the imperial expedition is the emperor himself, in case the emperor is not hearty to suffer any damage, what accidents occur, then these generals have to be: the minister should die, the minister should die, the minister should die.

Even if it is the famous emperor Caesar in history, he only led the army to attack the city and plunder the land as an official, and only added the title of emperor after he became famous, so in the slavery and feudal society, the most important thing for an emperor to do is to keep in his own capital to grasp the overall situation. No matter how wise the emperor himself is, having a Wen Taowu strategy above the general will not affect this result.

After defeating the Greek coalition army, the Persian pioneer battalion that took the lead soon rushed to the Tigetus Mountains, and encountered the Helo rebel army that closed the road and besieged the city, Xerxes himself decided to launch an expedition to the Greek Islands in advance because of this factor, so he was naturally no stranger to various materials of this rebel army, and the Helo rebel army was originally Wang Xiaozhi staring at the name of the Persian envoy, and many of them could be said to have been looking forward to the Persian Empire for a long time. So the subsequent negotiation and deliberation naturally arises.

Because the Helot rebel army and the Persian Empire were not hostile to each other, and now they took the initiative to take refuge at a very suitable opportunity, so after these Helots joined the Persian Empire, they would be immediately given all the treatment of the regular army, and promised to let them still rule this area according to the original system of the city-state after the capture of Sparta. Such favorable conditions are undoubtedly sharply attractive to the Xiluo rebel army, coupled with Wang Xiaozhi's continuous promotion in it, and now the two sides can be said to hit it off.

After uniting the Heloh rebel army with the vanguard battalion, they infiltrated the Tigetus Mountains from all directions, and converged into a four-way army in the southeast, south, and northwest directions to reunite under the city of Sparta.

This time there are not only more than 100,000 Helo rebel army, the mixed slave legion that was originally heavily damaged in the Battle of the Alcmene Plain, the number of people reached 300,000 again after joining forces with the Helot rebel army, which is definitely an exaggerated and terrifying number for the Spartan city-state with a total population of only about 100,000, not to mention that the number of Persian troops claimed to the outside world is 5 million, for the general defending the city, there is no difference in visual effect after the number of enemy troops exceeds 200,000.

Although the negative views of the elders and councilors in the movie are impossible, anyone who sees this boundless enemy army all over the mountains will eventually feel a little depressed and irritated, not to mention that once the banner of the Achaemenid dynasty appears here, it proves that the Greek coalition army on the plain of Alcmene has been completely defeated, although each city-state has its own different beliefs, not to the point of collapse of faith, but it is not much better.

It is true that Ares, the god of war, is the only belief of the Spartans, but the status of Zeus in the entire Olympian god system is transcendent, and even the god of war Ares himself is just the son of Zeus, which is the same as the strongest god in the continent of Faeron must be the god ao, but this does not mean that the gods have their own devout followers.

Although the Spartans were confident that under the protection of Ares, the god of war, they would overcome the difficulties and defeat the enemy army, strong mood swings were inevitable.

"How could the army of the Persians appear here, although that cowardly city-state could not be compared with our Spartan warriors, but under the protection of the glory of the gods, how could they be defeated by this barbaric and lowly people!"

The magnitude of the surprise that a soldier stationed at the edge of the city-state shouted at the scene of a soldier stationed at the edge of the city-state that could make the most elite Spartan Janissaries scold for disregard for discipline.

The military priest who commanded these warriors also did not care about discipline at this moment, and immediately roared loudly: "What are you stupid pigs shouting about, how can these lowly and incompetent Persians defeat our coalition army with the will of the gods, they must have used unsightly means to sneak around behind our Greek coalition army. ”

This statement, though absurd, was the only one that could be agreed upon in the minds of these Spartans, who were shouting at the moment of dissatisfaction with the insidious Persians, and for a moment the anger spread rapidly among the Spartan soldiers, and the priest took advantage of the situation and said: "After repelling the vanguard attack of these Persian mongrels, when the Greek coalition discovers their insidious deeds, we will surely come together and destroy them one by one, and we will rush out and cut off Xerxes's head when the time comes. To shine the glory of Ares, the god of war! ”

The Spartans' will to fight was immediately ignited, and the shouts and slogans suddenly resounded throughout the city-state, and groups of guards and soldiers rushed to the edge of the city, and on the layers of corpses, once again cast a steel defense line with shields to wrap the entire city-state.
