Chapter 148: Building a Wall of Human Corpses
Lake watched the queen leave with an army of three hundred women and Spartans.
Lake thought to himself, with the obscenity he had established in the Spartan royal city in the past ten years, before he died, absolutely no one would dare to disobey the spoken words of himself, the king of Sparta, conveyed by the queen.
I think that in the movie, the queen will not appear in order to get a chance to present in the upper council.
Lake continued to march with his three thousand elite Spartan soldiers.
In the village in front of the hot spring pass, the soldiers in charge of the pathfinder soon came back to report, and they said with a shocked face that the village was already dead silent, and there was no one alive.
Lake set off to follow the pathfinder soldiers to the village to check.
At the entrance of the trail behind the village, corpses, men and women, young and old, were hanging on several large trees, the blood had not yet dried, and the branches and the ground were covered with blood, and the scene was extremely bloody.
The Spartan warriors who came with Lake were very angry when they saw this.
In the movie, Lake also saw the scene of a corpse hanging on a tree, and although it felt a little scary, it didn't touch it too much.
However, in this copy world, Ryker, who became the king of Sparta, lived in the capital of Sparta for ten years, and when he saw that his people were all slaughtered, he hung on a big tree. Lake clenched his fists, shock and anger surged into Lake's heart, this time Lake's copy, not only to complete the mission, but also to kill the Persian commander and annihilate his army for the first time.
The soldiers next to Lake were going to step forward and unload the bodies from the trees and bury them.
Lake raised his hand to stop his soldiers first, and Lake said in a deep tone, "Don't be in a hurry to bury them first." Call all three thousand of our soldiers and take turns watching.
Remember this moment, remember this scene, if we can't hold this Thermopylae Pass next, once the Persian army enters the Greek territory through the Thermopay Pass, our city, our parents, wives and children will all end up like this.
Keep this image in mind, Spartan warriors, imprint him in your hearts, and when you are tired of the battle, think of these trees that are full of corpses.
When you've seen it all and made sure you remember it, you can bury the corpses. ”
"Yes, my king!" The soldier gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement.
Lake didn't expect that he was in a hurry, but in the end he was a step too late, and the villages in front of Hot Springs Pass were slaughtered by the Persian vanguard.
Lake then immediately sent a team of 300 men to the villages in front to check and besiege the vanguard of Persia, who should not have gone far, "kill them all, and leave not a single one." Lake commanded the centurion who led the group.
Three hundred Spartan warriors, long swords and shields in hand, ran briskly towards the village ahead.
They were full of anger and were about to vent their anger, and they had just witnessed the human tree, and they were eager to tear apart the Persian invasion with their own hands.
The next morning, Lake arrived at Hot Springs with 3,000 Spartan warriors.
Lake looked at the legendary Hot Spring Pass, like a huge canyon entrance, the roads on both sides are not wide, and it can accommodate up to a few hundred people at a time. On both sides are canyons that are not high, and they are extremely steep, making it difficult to climb.
The 4,000 Greek coalition also arrived, where they joined the 3,000 Spartan warriors led by King Ryker of Sparta.
However, Lake looked at the 4,000 Greek coalition troops, who couldn't even maintain their formation on the march, and dozens of people were left behind and crowded after walking a few hundred meters.
If this was on the battlefield, let these 4,000 Greek coalition troops face the Persian army, Lake estimated that the Persians would be scared away before they could fight.
"Your Excellency, King of Sparta II, it is my honor to fight with you. In the next battle, please command us to fight. "The leader of the Greek coalition, who is very good at talking, handed over the command to Lake, and also saved Lake to talk nonsense.
"In the first two days of guarding the Hot Spring Pass, you don't have to go to the battlefield, just be responsible for familiarizing yourself with the terrain of the Hot Spring Pass, and send people to clean up the battlefield and pile up the corpses of the Persian soldiers we killed into a high human wall." Lake said directly.
This time, the main force on the battlefield still has to be completed by the Spartan warriors, which can reassure Lake.
rashly let these Persian coalition troops who have not undergone much training go to the battlefield and fight with them, and when the Spartan defensive formation is disorganized, his 3,000 warriors may be buried by these teammates.
The Spartan warriors are not only strong in single combat, but Lake has also specialized in studying the Spartan battle formation in the past ten years.
Relying on the strong individual strength and skillful cooperation of soldiers, coupled with the Spartan giant round shield, spear, and long knife composed of Spartan characteristics, once it is in operation, it is a killing machine on the battlefield.
Lake decided that after a few days, when the situation had stabilized and the Persian army had sent more people to attack, he would have the Greek coalition fighting together.
"Do your will, my noble king of Sparta." The leader of the Greek coalition was also very happy to hear that the army he brought did not have to go to the battlefield a few days ago, and quickly agreed.
Lake divided the Spartan 3,000 warriors into ten brigades.
Persia's attack this time, Lake can predict that once they start attacking, they will not stop, and they will not give the Spartan 3,000 warriors time to breathe as they did in the movie.
Lake had ten brigades, each with three hundred warriors, take turns fighting and resting according to his allocation.
Even when the Persian army was relatively strong in a single battle, he sent one or two more Spartan brigades to join the battle.
Heavy rain began to fall in the sky, and Lake and his men watched from the shore as they stood on the shore.
The sea is densely packed with large and small warships of the Persian army, and there is no edge in sight.
The storm overturned several of the Persian ships at the front, causing the Spartan soldiers to cheer.
However, Lake knew that in the face of the huge Persian fleet, a storm of this level would not be of much use.
Sure enough, the storm gradually subsided, more and more Persian warships successfully landed, and a large number of Persian armies landed.
It's a pity that Lake has too few people in Sparta, and he doesn't have enough money and talent to build warships and build a navy.
If he had been born in Athens, in the plot of the rise of the Spartan Empire, Lake would definitely have been able to stop the Persian army at sea.
Lake began to have his men build a human wall, using the corpses and stones of the Persian troops they had hunted yesterday.
Lake also rolled up his sleeves and followed the soldiers to build this human wall.
This kind of human wall can relieve the tension of the soldiers before the battle, let them have something to do before the battle, and make them feel the strength of Sparta and the weakness of the enemy.
