Volume 1: Flying to the Sky Chapter 6: Xerxes's Juggling
In the early hours of the morning, Li Yi and Leonidas and Dassos gathered at a time to discuss the war over breakfast.
Li Yi said as he used stones to pose for array changes.
"Leonidas, my people will form 4 hundred-man shield formations, Sparta will form 3 hundred-man shield formations, and our 7 shield formations will be closely alternating in a straight line! That will make it easier for my soldiers to heal you. ”
"Dassos, your men clean up the corpses behind the array, and I'll ask the Rongxuan team to give you the finished torches. When I needed a torch, I immediately handed it to the last row of soldiers in the array. ”
"From the valley mouth to the bend, the battlefield will become narrower and narrower, and when attacking, the two shield formations on the right side by the sea will directly attack the curve, and the other five shield formations will withdraw from the left side one after another as the terrain narrows."
"After the two shields on the right side entered the corner, the other five shields rearranged themselves and rested. The two shields of the attack crossed the curve and then slowly withdrew to the entrance of the curve, and then quickly withdrew to the left side of the rear of the array to rest. ”
"The array will attack slowly, the shield array on the left will gradually withdraw from the battle to rest, the two shield arrays on the right side will continue to attack the corner, and the five shield arrays outside the curve will form an array, waiting for the two shield arrays to attack the curve. In this way, alternate attacks, retreats, alternate rests! ”
Leonidas looked at the stones on the ground and nodded.
"It's a perfect change of formation, I'm okay with it!"
Dassos: "Just do it!" ”
Everyone stretched out their fists and slammed into each other and shouted, "Victory!" ”
The coalition soldiers in the camp also shouted: "Victory! ”
Soon breakfast was over, everyone walked out of the valley and began to line up, and at dawn of the day, the first wave of the Persian army's attack began!
Li Yi stood at the mouth of the valley and laughed when he saw the Persian slave owners in the first wave of the Persian army's attack in the distance.
Daxos asked curiously, "What are you laughing at?" ”
Li Yi pointed to the slave soldiers who had been whipped by the Persian slave owners to attack.
"Xerxes sent his army of slaves! It's time to kill today! ”
Is it true that the slave liberator trait of his personal guard is ornamental?
The slaves quickly crashed into the array, and under the counterattack of spears and knives, they flew out of the stump of water, like waves crashing on the reef!
From time to time, slave soldiers slashed their swords at the people around them in order to retreat, and some people dropped their weapons and watched with relief as spears pierced their bodies.
After the array slowly attacked forward and continued to shrink in width, and after the Persian slave owner's back road was blocked and could not be killed, the whole team of slaves began to attack the Persian army against the water, blocking the offensive of the follow-up Persian slaves at the bend.
The enemies in front of the array were quickly cleared, and a large area of the battlefield was vacated.
Taking advantage of the chaos of the Persian army, Li Yi quickly commanded the 2 shield arrays on the right side to retreat to the left side of the array to rest, and the other 5 shield arrays rearranged to wait for the enemy's attack!
The anti-water slave soldiers were quickly killed, and the attack of the Persian slave soldiers crashed into the array again, and after a while, the scene of the slave counterattack was staged again.
After a few back and forth, the first wave of the Persian army's attack of about 10,000 slaves ended!
There were no casualties in the 7 shield arrays! Battle Coin +3213.
Li Yi watched the soldiers clean up the battlefield while calculating the price of slaves.
The slave soldiers are really worthless, only half of the Persian soldiers, and one is only 0.5 war coins. It's a loss! No wonder an undead soldier is worth 5 Coins! This slave is too weak!
A dark cloud suddenly rose on the side of the Persian army in the distance, and Li Yi hurriedly raised his shield and shouted: "Defense!" ”
The clanging sound on the shield rang for half a minute before it stopped.
There were a few unlucky guys on Dassos's side, who were killed by an arrow in the head in an unstandard posture with a shield, and no one was killed in Sparta and the Chaos Legion!
The legionnaires' titanium shields were unscathed, but the Spartan shields were riddled with arrows. The Spartan warriors swung their spears in front of their shields and handsomely broke the shafts of their arrows. However, the arrows are still attached to the shield, which increases the weight of the shield and increases their physical exertion.
Li Yi thought about it for a while, and let the three Spartan shield formations retreat to the camp in the valley to rest, and the four Chaos Legion soldier shield formations moved forward to reorganize the array across the battlefield.
The Spartan warriors retreated to the valley in an orderly manner, and Leonidas came over.
"Why let Sparta withdraw from the array!"
Li Yi pointed to his shield.
"Your shields are getting heavier, rest for a while, and then go up the next time the Persians attack you! Come here with me and enjoy the victory! ”
Leonidas sighed and stood with Li Yi, looking at the second wave of the Persian army in the distance.
Li Yi looked at the attacking Persian Beast Legion, turned his head to look at Leonidas and said helplessly, "Do you know why I don't like large animals?" Because it's big, heavy, and it's not delicious! ”
Leonidas shrugged: "I think its horns can make a good horn for my son!" ”
The Persian war rhino in the charge was pierced through the head with a spear thrown and died on the way to the charge. The Persian dogs crashed into the shield and tried to get through the gap between the shields, and were beheaded by the legionnaires.
To deal with war beasts, you must break your brain with one blow, many war beasts are trained to ignore the pain in their bodies, it is useless to attack the body and heart, and they will bite you again before they die!
Seeing that the fire bull that rushed behind the war dog crashed to death in front of the shield array, Li Yi wiped his saliva: "This roast is delicious!" Dassos, don't push the dead cow into the sea! Move back and we'll have a snack in the evening! ”
Dassos turned his head and looked at Li Yi with strange eyes: "Okay! ”
Leonidas sighed beside him.
When the people of Dassos moved back to the camp one after another after the slaughtered 300 cattle, the second wave of the Persian army ended, and this wave did not kill a few Persians, but killed a lot of war beasts!
All four shield arrays have gained the Beast Slayer trait, +3641 War Coins.
Beast Slayer: +10% damage to enemy beasts.
Seeing another rain of arrows drifting in the distance, Leonidas shouted: "Defense! ”
All again hiding behind shields!
Li Yi shouted with a smile under the shield: "Leonidas, I heard that yesterday you called this to fight under the shade of the tree?" ”
Leonidas laughed at him: "Yes! Fight in the shade! ”
The other Spartans also held their shields and laughed at the tinkling sounds.
Dasso's scolding came: "I hate the bows and arrows of the Persians!" Wait until my people have to trouble pulling them up and cleaning them up! Damn the Persians! ”
After the rain of arrows ended, Li Yi looked at the third wave of the Persian army attack in the distance and shouted at Dassos: "Torches"
At the same time, he signaled Leonidas not to let Sparta out.
When Dassos heard this, he asked his men to stop cleaning the arrows, quickly lit the prepared torches, and handed them to the soldiers in the last row of the array.
When the vanguard of the third wave of the Persian army attacked the array, Li Yi shouted: "Everyone raise their shields and face the enemy to protect themselves!" Grow your mouths! Throw torches at the enemy! ”
The third wave of the Persian army's attack is a group of chemists of this world, yes! A chemist who plays with gunpowder iron grenades.
In this world, in 400 BC, there was already gunpowder!
Xerxes must have improvised the idea of allowing these chemists to attack, and the two Persian troops, who were ready to attack, could only give them a path through the army and into the offensive position.
The auxiliaries who cooperated with the chemists' attack continued to pass through the dense Persian army formation, moving iron grenades from the Persian battalion to the front line.
As the torches were thrown, the Persian soldiers in the vanguard blocked the array, the chemists were preparing to throw iron grenades, and the auxiliaries were piling up ammunition.
Of the 100 torches, only a few ignited the grenades in the hands of the chemist, and the ignition rate was very low!
But enough is enough! From the first grenade explosion, just like a firecracker during the New Year, it blew up all the way in the direction of the Persian camp!
In the event of a chain explosion, if it is blocked by an orderly retreat, it will not be blown up from beginning to end.
But the tens of thousands of Persian troops who were close to the explosion wanted to retreat, so they all huddled together and couldn't move, and they were all blown up into the sky.
After Leonidas and Dassos fended off the explosion wave, they watched in amazement as the third wave of attack ended like a joke! At the same time, he also blew up the 2 Persian 10,000 teams that gave way!
Leonidas sighed: "What did the gods tell you? ”
Dassault also looked at Li Yi, and the smell of gunsmoke, seafood, corpse smell and blood smell were mixed together to make it even more smelly.
Li Yi was so smoked that he didn't want to speak: "You still ask me when you know everything?" ”
After a while, there will be a settlement of war coins, knowing that this wave of attacks is over, and the battle coins are more than +37542.
In addition to the Rongxuan team, they all gained the "One Against Hundred" trait. All 100-man teams have received the Traits of Demo Genius! After reading the battle report, yo he, I also killed a lot of Persian archers!
"Demolition Genius": +10% damage with explosive weapons or explosive spells.
After the explosion, the coalition forces were still raising their shields and waiting for the Persian army's routine rain of arrows.
Li Yi looked into the distance, the smoke of the explosion gradually dissipated, and the Persians were busy cleaning up the corpses, and it was estimated that there was no time to make a rain of arrows to cover it.
"Dassaults, you send someone to bring lunch to everyone and continue to clean up the battlefield. Leonidas, the array retreats, and Sparta joins the array. After the formation, everyone stood guard and rested! ”
After looking at the funds, the battle coin is 49421.
So he called Leonidas back: "There will be 5-6 reinforcements in the evening!" ”
Leonidas was silent for a moment: "What do you want to do?" Counterattack? ”
Li Yi's tone was full of demagogy: "In the morning, the Persian army died about 10,000, and just now it is estimated that 40,000 died again, and the Persian army is now left with about 120,000!" ”
Leonidas was looking down in thought.
Li Yi continued to increase the weight.
"There should be 1-20,000 more people coming to die before dark today!"
Leonidas looked up at him, and that was not enough!
Li Yi's last hammer.
"In the middle of the night, at least 5,000 undead troops and 10,000 Persians will go to the shepherd path to die!"
Leonidas grinned: "It's done! ”
After lunch, everyone waited until the evening, and the fourth wave of the Persian army attacked before leaving the Persian camp one after another.
