Chapter 147: The whole army attacked

Lake returned to the Spartan council hall, held the oracle in his hands, and solemnly read it out in public: "The gods have sent down the latest gods in anger, and it is the festival of the gods recently, and the Persian army has invaded Greece at this time, which is disrespectful to the gods."

Sparta, as well as many Greek nations, were to wage holy war against the Persian invaders under the guidance of the gods. ”

After Reker finished reading, he drew his long knife, pointed the sword in front and shouted: "We Sparta are the descendants of the god of war, and the blood of the god of war flows in our bodies.

The people of Sparta will never be slaves, we yearn for freedom, courage and fearlessness.

But the Persian king Xerxes, who had rebelled against God's will and dared to come to Greece to invade, would be punished by God.

Our armies will enter the battlefield and wash away their sins with the blood and heads of the Persians.

Warriors of Sparta, for the sake of your children, wives and descendants, do not become slaves!

To defend our peaceful and prosperous homeland!

Take up arms and repel the Persian invaders!

Sparta has only warriors who died in battle, and Sparta will never back down! ”

Lake finally shouted solemnly.

As the king of Sparta, Lake's speech made the blood boil of many generals present, and they shouted "Repel the Persian invaders, Sparta will never retreat!" ”

"Defeat the Persian invaders, and Sparta will never back down!"

The members present in the parliament hall can only vote to agree.

The strength of the Second Venerable King of Sparta in the Spartan King City is too strong, it can be said that it is an existence that covers the sky with one hand, how dare they object.

Once the resolution of the Second Venerable is opposed, it is estimated that before the Persian army arrives, those who oppose it will not see the sun tomorrow.

This time, the Spartan parliament unanimously passed the decision to go to the army.

Many generals began to be appointed by Lake, and Lake began to mobilize large armies and food and grass.

Lake has been planning and preparing for ten years, just waiting for this day to come, it can be said that after ten years of sharpening a sword, it will wait for the long sword to be unsheathed!

Sparta's army moved very quickly.

Lake gave the order: "My King's Guard, the Spartan Three Thousand Warriors, and the Queen's Guard, the Spartan Three Hundred Queens Female Warriors, this afternoon, will be the first to go out with me."

Hurry up and march to Thermopylae to stop the invasion of the Persian army.

The 10,000 regular troops of Sparta will set out tomorrow morning one after another, and go to the position behind the Hot Springs Pass to stand by.

Arrive within five days.

And immediately contact all the small city-states of Greece, and ask them to send a coalition army to camp in the position behind the Thermopylae.

It is said that the second Venerable Lord of Sparta has ordered that within five days, the coalition troops stationed behind the Thermopus Pass position will ignore the oracle of the gods, and will be punished by the gods and cursed endlessly, and will also be ready to face the wrath of our Spartan King. ”

"Yes, honorable king!"

Many generals took orders.

After the council was over, the army in Sparta began to move rapidly, and the generals of the armies, after receiving orders from Lake, took their troops to receive food supplies for several days, and prepared to rush to the camp behind Thermopylae.

In the afternoon of the same day, Lake gathered the three thousand Spartan warriors he had trained for ten years to build in the main square in front of the Imperial City.

Draped in a red magic cloak, Lake flew in a small circle in the air and landed on a high platform in front of the plaza.

Before setting out, Lake addressed three thousand Spartan warriors.

That night, Lake and the queen left the imperial city with 3,000 Spartan warriors and 300 women's troops.

The queen was walking on the road, she was also wearing a red battle robe, holding a spear beside Lake, and she asked in a low voice: "My king, I didn't expect that the grain and grass and army plans you have formulated in the past few years will really be used."

Otherwise, we would not have been able to send troops so quickly, at least two or three days to prepare.

But we, with the coalition army, are only tens of thousands of people, can we withstand the million-strong army of Persia? ”

"Don't worry, my queen, the Persian invasion of the army is at most 300,000 to 500,000 men, and the million-strong army is just their propaganda to the outside world.

I also publicized that we Sparta sent 100,000 warriors!

You also know, in fact, in total, there were more than 10,000 Spartan warriors who participated in the war.

Queen, you have to believe in the effect of the continuous training of Spartan warriors over the past ten years, they are real warriors, on the battlefield, one Spartan warrior can withstand ten, hundred, thousand Persian troops.

The Persian army of 300,000 people, many of whom were still vassal states and slave legions, were the few that really had combat effectiveness. Lake said confidently.

After all, in the movie, three hundred Spartan warriors, plus some Greek coalition troops, resisted the advance of the Persian army at Thermopylae.

Although he, the king of Sparta, may not be as brave as King Leonidas in the movie, there are many people who can't stop him from preparing.

Lake was more than ten times more prepared, and more than 3,000 Spartan warriors participated in the Battle of Hot Springs.

And five days later, the 10,000 regular army of Sparta and other Greek allied troops will also rush to the rear of Thermopay Pass according to his plan, blocking the Persian army from detouring from the path to the rear of Thermopylae Pass in the movie, and preventing the tragedy of more than 3,000 Spartan warriors led by him being flanked from front and back.

"My king, you must be careful on the battlefield." After the queen whispered this to Lake, she turned and left, and she went to the front of the army of three hundred women she led, and the female centurion who led the team gave some orders.

Lake turned his head to look at the more than 3,000 Spartan warriors in red cloaks behind him, like a red dragon, moving forward quickly.

This was the first time that Lake had actually led his troops to participate in such a large-scale battle, and just looking at the bright weapons and numbers made Lake excited.

After three days of rapid marching, near a small village near Thermopylae, Lake received a report from a Spartan warrior who was exploring the way ahead, and caught a suspicious hunchback, a deformed hunchback who claimed to have been secretly taken out of Spartan by his parents when he was very young, in order to avoid being executed.

"Bring him up and see him!" Lake ordered.

In the movie, it was this deformed hunchback who applied to Leonidas, the king of Sparta, to join the army that resisted Persia, but was ruthlessly rejected by Leonidas.

Then the deformed hunchback, holding a grudge, rebelled against Sparta and surrendered to Persia.

And the Persian army provided a hidden path that could be detoured to the back of the Hot Springs.

If it weren't for his existence, even if the three hundred Spartan warriors in the movie were killed, it was estimated that they would be able to hold out for a few more days, and there might be a miraculous victory.

Lake's mission is to hold Hot Springs Pass for at least ten days after the Persian army attacks, and Lake is ready to meet this deformed hunchbacked traitor and stab him to death to avoid future troubles.

A few minutes later, a hunchbacked deformed man wearing a shabby red cloak and holding an old metal shield and spear stepped forward and bowed down to Lake.

"Honorable King of Sparta, Venerable II, please let me join the army against the Persian invasion, so that I can be honored for my dead father." The hunchbacked deformis said to Lake in a very respectful and sincere tone.

In Lake's mind, a prompt voice from the heavens online suddenly sounded: "Ding Dong, congratulations to the second Venerable player, in the plot of meeting the Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta, the destined traitor deformed hunchback, the deformed hunchback man cannot be killed, detained, only expelled."

Seven days later, the Persian king Xerxes will learn from him that the path leading to the back of the Thermopylae Pass.

This setting cannot be changed, and the Humpback is invincible and reflects all damage stats until he informs King Xerxes of Persia that the path leads to Thermopylae.

Within seven days of Xerxes, the king of Persia, he will learn that the path behind the hot spring pass can be detoured, and this is an unchangeable plot! ”

"He's a ball, this Heavenly Online task is too pitiful, why didn't he remind him until now." After hearing the prompt of the heavens online, Lake cursed in his heart, but fortunately, Lake was prepared and completely controlled the parliament and army of Sparta within ten years.

Otherwise, if Lake bets on the idea of executing the traitor after encountering this deformed camel traitor.

What awaits him will be a certain death.

This hint from the Heavens Online shows that no matter what he does, in seven days the Persian army will take a detour from the path behind Thermopylae to attack him on both sides.

Lake called up his Heavens Online's conditions for the completion of this mission: "Main mission completion conditions: Resist the Persian army at Thermopylae Pass for 10 days or more. Lake looked at this task and thought for a while, and then suddenly felt that something was wrong, and he secretly screamed.

The Persian army, once passing through the path behind the Hot Spring Pass, detoured to the rear of the Hot Spring Pass, to a certain extent, it also passed through the Hot Spring Pass. Even if the Persian army finally returned from the rear of Hot Springs, the Heavens Online could judge him as a failure in his mission to some extent.

Lake's face turned gloomy at the thought of this.

"My king, what's wrong with you!" The queen walked over, looked at Lake's grim face, and then looked at the deformed hunchbacked man kneeling on the ground, and the queen asked with some concern.

Lake pulled out his long knife and pointed at the head of the deformed hunchbacked man, shouting, "You can't even hold a spear or a shield, how can you join our team."

The shield in the hands of our Spartan warriors, in the Spartan battle array, is not only to protect themselves, but also to protect the warriors on the right side, and a body like yours joining the Spartan battle array will only become a burden.

Get out of my group, I can't say yes to your request. ”

Lake held back and didn't stab him.

After all, Zhutian Online reminded him that before this deformed hunchbacked man whistleblower, he had an unreasonable invincibility attribute and the attribute of rebounding all damage, and Lake didn't want to harm himself.

The hunchbacked deformed man begged Reker for a while, and finally seeing that Reker was unmoved, the deformed hunchback man finally got up and left the Spartan army in disappointment.

Lake asked his soldiers to take a simple map of the vicinity of Thermopylae, pointed to the path on the map, and said to the queen beside him, "Queen, you immediately go to the camp behind Thermopylae Pass, where I have set a camp of 10,000 Spartan troops."

Tell all the Spartan generals and the allied Greek army to set off and go to this path on the side of Thermopylae to stop the Persian army.

The Persian army should have chosen to take this path after seven days, after they could not break through my line in the frontal battlefield at Thermolae Pass. ”

"Can the Persian army discover such a hidden path!

My king, are you sure that with only 3,000 men, you will be able to resist the 300,000 Persian army at Thermopylae? The queen asked, looking at Lake with some confusion and concern.

Lake looked at the queen with a serious expression, this is a matter related to whether his mission can be successfully completed and whether he can survive without being in the online mode of the heavens: "Believe me, Queen, in the frontal battlefield of Hot Springs, I can definitely resist the Persian army, not to mention 300,000, even a million army."

But that path, and the width of the flat land near the path, was more than ten times the width of my hot spring pass.

There, the Persian army can send more soldiers to fight you at a time.

Your task is to lead your troops to hold that path for ten days, no matter what, and not let any Persian soldiers pass.

Ten days later, I will bring out three hundred Spartan warriors from the frontal battlefield, and when the time comes, I will personally lead the team back to that path to aid you.

Because the Persian army estimated that it would take about the seventh day to find and send troops through the path, theoretically you only need to hold it for three to four days. ”
