Chapter 92: Raid

The walls of Corinth were rudimentary, looking like a large earthen platform. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Whoosh~~~

Dozens of hooks flew up the earthen city wall several meters high, and the sharp tips stuck on the uneven earthen wall enclosure, and then, the lightly armed Spartan general guards, who had already lurked under the city wall, grabbed the simple hook rope and began to climb up skillfully!

Spartan warriors are not only professional in killing, but also very easy to play in this 'rock climbing sport'!

Leonidas's choice of time was just after midnight, when mankind was most sleepy, and most of the Pylos guards patrolling the city walls leaned on the shelter from the wind and sleepwalked with Zhou Gong.

However, on such a wide city wall, there are still quite a lot of patrolling guards, after the first batch of Spartan warriors climbed, a Pilos guard who got up at night 'shhhh

This confused Pylos guard suddenly played a clever role, hurriedly lifted his battle skirt, grabbed the short contradiction card in his hand, and walked there!

By the way, wake up your lazy sleeping accomplice!

Leonidas' raid routine is very simple, the lightly armed Spartan general guards and Qin crossbowmen take advantage of the darkness to climb the not too high city wall, and then enter the city gate, open the city gate, and then, the elite of Wei Wushu wearing chain mail will form a phalanx to advance!

After achieving this strategic goal, whether everyone continues to attack or stick to the city gate depends on the situation at that time!

Climbing the city wall is naturally given priority to Spartan warriors who are good at melee hand-to-hand combat, and the crossbowmen of the Qin State are behind!

"Who are you?!" When the Spartan warriors climbed the walls, they finally caught the attention of the Pylos guards!

"The one who wants your life!" Faced with the questioning of the Pylos guards, Leonidas, who was the first to climb the city wall, suddenly threw the short spear in his hand and accurately pierced the stunned Pylos guards!

"Sparta! Fight the enemy! ”

The Spartan warriors consciously rushed in the direction of the city gate!

"Enemy attack! Go ring the alarm! ”

Flutter ......

The Pyrrhus guards, who were not superior in numbers on the city walls, were no match for the Spartan warriors, and under the leadership of Leonidas, the Spartan warriors eliminated dozens of Pylos guards who blocked and fled!

At this time, the crossbowmen of the Qin State had already climbed the city wall and followed behind the rapidly advancing Spartan warriors!

The lightly armed Spartan warriors had amazing endurance and speed, and soon reached the heavily guarded city gates!

Even if he didn't notice Lei Zihao's invasion, because the power of Megara City was too strong, Corinth City, which was closest to Megala City on weekdays, also arranged more than 100 guards at the city gate to guard it day and night!

After Leonidas saw the Pylos guards who had lined up the phalanx at the city gate, he did not rashly lead the Spartan warriors to attack the opponent's phalanx, but let the Qin crossbowmen move forward and launched an intensive close-range shot at the small Pylos phalanx!

The bronze shield armor couldn't stop the crossbowmen who were specially built to break armor from shooting at close range, and soon the phalanx, which was still well-organized, was shot into potholes, and Leonidas saw the opportunity to lead people to rush up and completely crush the demoralized Pylos guards!

Blood stained the gates of Corinth red, and after the guards of Pylos who had been placed at the gates earlier lost the support of the phalanx, where were the opponents of the Spartan warriors?

Thundered~

The huge city gate opened, and the elite of Wei Wushu, who had been waiting for a long time, jogged into Corinth City under the guidance of the signal sent by Leonidas!

It was only then that Elder Pylos, inside Corinth, sensed the attack of the Seris!

The people of Pylos have always regarded Lei Zihao's men and horses as the remnants of the Cyris Kingdom......

Anyway, the Pylos people can't tell the difference between Lei Zihao's people and the Serisians!

"This group of treacherous Seris, who promised to help each other peacefully, suddenly carried out a despicable sneak attack! Warriors of Pylos, take up your weapons and slay the abominable sneak attackers! ”

"Kill all the Seris!"

……

Bright torches began to gather in Corinth City, a city of tens of thousands of people, in addition to the Pylos civilians who occupy the majority of the capital, there are many Pyloth citizens with weapons at home, as for the Pylos guards, there are not many Pylos guards, in addition to the guards in Corinth City near the city walls, there are only dozens of people guarding the main elder hall of Corinth City......

Under Leonidas's order, the elite Wei Wushu and the crossbowmen of the Qin State who lined up in the array, used their crossbows to defeat the Pyros citizen warriors who rushed over nearby, and the Pyros citizen armies who rushed over nearby were very scattered, and there were not many of them, and they couldn't even walk in front of Leonidas and the others!

Obviously, the difference between the courage of the Pylos and the slogans they shouted was not ordinary......

After repelling the early attack of the Pyrrhus warriors, Leonidas quickly led the men to set fire to all the wooden houses around the city gate, intending to stop the attack of the Pylos warriors with a sea of fire!

Leonidas understood that no matter how elite his men were, once they dispersed into the cities of tens of thousands of Pylos, not to mention whether they could crush the will to resist of the Pylos, his own casualties would definitely increase greatly!

Instead of fighting for an unknown result, it is better to firmly hold the city gate and wait for Lei Zihao's main army to come to help!

The two sides agreed that the dawn would be the time for the army to arrive!

Just make sure that the main force of 3500 enters Corinth City unharmed, and those Pylos warriors will be vulnerable!

The veterans of the citizens of Pylos who really have experience in the war have all lost in the next battle in the city of Megala, although there are still many Pylos citizens in Corinth City, but most of them are old and young women and children and new soldiers, and they can't stop the regular army entering the city at all!

The subsequent battle for the city gates organized by the Pyros citizen warriors also reflects how scummy these people are......

They weren't even as good as the Pylos guards who were originally defending the city, at least the Pylos guards could quickly list the phalanx......

The Pyros citizen warriors, armed with all sorts of weapons, simply formed a dense formation, rushed up with shouts, and then lost their crossbows in rows and were easily shot to the ground!

Even if they relied on their numerical superiority to survive in close combat, facing Wei Wushu's halberd phalanx in a narrow terrain, they would die as many as they came!

The slaughter in the dark night ended in the heavy loss of the Pylos, and the elders of Corinth City were horrified to find that these more than 300 warriors were like an impregnable wall blocking all the Pylos warriors!
