The first reinforcements arrived the next afternoon, about a thousand men, mainly cavalry. Zhou Yu calculated the time for them to hurry, and the location of the lord who sent the troops should not exceed three hundred miles. The cavalry apparently underestimated the fighting power of the rioting slaves, and treated the liquidation as a walk after dinner, thus leading to the annihilation of the entire army.

Several sets of serial traps caused great damage to the vanguard troops, but also sent great fear to the follow-up troops. If you don't see the enemy, you will break it in half, but this is not the most terrible.

The terrible cluster of arrows shot from the castle tower and the arrow tower, no matter if the man or horse shoots it, the wound will quickly turn yellow, and then it will be like a steamed bun eaten by maggots, and the yellow liquid will gradually wrap the whole body, and then stand motionless in place. If it is knocked down by a deserter or other horse, it will crumble into pieces, like a wax figure shattering.

"Retreat, retreat! The enemy will sorcery! A man dressed in a high-grade animal skin with a feather half a meter long on his head reined in his horse's head and shouted with his sword. Seemingly the commander of the reinforcements, the horse under his crotch was in pain, his two front hooves were raised, and after landing, he kept stepping on the ground in place, shaking the horse's head from side to side.

"Arrows!" Xerxes stretched out his hand to the side, and Bumble handed over a pair of ordinary bows and arrows. The general was about one hundred and twenty or thirty meters away from them, and Zhou Yu really wanted to see Xerxes's ability to penetrate Yang in a hundred steps and capture the thief and capture the king. However, how can I get off the stage if I mess up? How does it end?

There is no accident, Xerxes's ability is not lip service. Looking at his posture of bending his bow and shooting arrows, Zhou Yu knew that the enemy general was cold. This Persian giant is worthy of being a hero who has been galloping on the battlefield for decades, from luck to shooting in one go, the clouds and rivers are general, and the most infecting others is the domineering, who else is domineering.

"Boom!" With a bang, the enemy general stiffened, fell straight down from the horse, and shattered into five, six, seven, or eight pieces, and a short-tailed arrow only thirty centimeters long was stuck in his salallow forehead, and his eyes were wide with fear, as if he had seen death.

"Immortals! Come on! With the blood of the enemy, cleanse the blade in your hand! Xerxes crossed his legs and rushed out of the castle with three thousand slave soldiers, sweeping away the remaining three or four hundred enemy troops. Zhou Yu understands very well that this is a good time to boost morale and train troops and train courage. The disparity in strength, the enemy fleeing and chasing me, and the enemy being discouraged and prosperous, isn't it the best time to let those immortal soldiers who have not opened the killing ring be the best time to sacrifice the sword?

"Report and report to the lieutenant chief, a total of 981 enemy troops were annihilated in this battle. Not a single one of our troops was killed in battle, and eighteen were wounded. What do you see the captured weapons, armor, animal skins, clothing, and dry food that you have carried out? Bamble looked at Zhou Yu's face and asked.

"It's okay this time, the report will come out after the battle, huh? All the booty was distributed on the spot, first in three equal parts, and then distributed in detail at the discretion of the commander. ”

"Hey, yes. Thank you to the little ones! ”

"Say it again?" Zhou Yu's tone changed.

"Yes! The last general thanked the commander on behalf of the whole army! "With only a few days to go from slave to soldier, they can't be asked to make a role change overnight. And those slaves who were still questioning how far this road could go are now completely dispelled, and even some slaves who chose to leave at that time have been naturalized.

Successive victories brought the slaves the joy of victory and trust in their leaders, and the slaves needed trust. This kind of trust has to be real, rooted in the ground, and can be seen and touched, so that it can break with the water king.

Three days later, the three-way reinforcements were strangled by the Changsheng army defending the city, and not a single person was left alive. In Xerxes's mind, there seemed to be no concept of surrender and capture, as if one could live as a civilian, and there was only one way to die if a soldier failed in battle. He is different from Bai Qi, Bai Qi is a killing surrender; He didn't allow you to surrender, and he cut off his head as soon as he shouted the word surrender.

All the captured shields were gathered by Xerxes and burned overnight to melt thousands of metal masks, which were piled up on the ground like a hill. The masks were hideous, grinning, and glowing in the moonlight, making them more sinister than those worn by Philen. He himself selected three of them and stood in front of Bambul and the other three commanders.

"Wearing a mask means that you will never betray and will always be loyal to the Immortals. When he dies well, he will have eternal life. Have you figured it out? ”

"Think about it, Commander!" The three of them drank together.

"Governor, do you have anything to say?" Xerxes twisted his head to the side, looked at Zhou Yu and asked.

"Hey, you want to liberate more brothers and sisters, Lao Xue wants to defeat the cult leader Shui Wang Li. I see, different paths lead to the same end! Everyone is a ferryman, and everyone is just ferryman. The bitter sea is boundless, and there will eventually be another shore. Here, cheers! As he spoke, he lifted his glass and filled it for the four of them.

"I said Lao Xue! I have an idea! ”

"Say? What, it's hard to say? ”

"Come less, I want to hide myself."

"Hide, why? Are you afraid of death at this time? ”

"No, I can't act openly for some personal reasons. I think you're a good immortal. No, it's my Immortal Army. You're just the general manager I've hired. ”

"Well, the Immortal Army is good, and then what?"

"Since they're all wearing masks, I want to hide inside."

"What is there to hide? I thought you were going to hide from me in that water prison for half a year. You're hiding in the troops, damn it, you have to die! ”

"I said Lao Xue, I'm angry if you say that again, I hit people very painfully, have you ever seen a big fist in a casserole?" Zhou Yu raised his fist as he spoke.

"Oops, no kidding. Then what do you want to achieve by being incognito? ”

"I feel like I'm being targeted, and I have a lot of mysteries in my mind that haven't been opened, and it's not appropriate to show them publicly. Now that the battle here has been decided, it is better to be careful if you want to head inland next. Safety first, safety first! ”

"Okay, dare you to use me as a stupid big arrow! Ready to see that the situation is not good, smear oil on the soles of your feet and slip away? ”

"Hate, to be honest, do you know what I like most about you?"

"Which point?"

"I like you to stay away from me, your uncle!"

The surrounding immortals have long been accustomed to the game of the lieutenant commander and the commander smashing pots and bowls.

After Zhou Yu settled the old, weak, sick and disabled in the slave camp, he secretly put on a terrifying mask and fled. Xerxes, in his capacity as a commander, announced that the lieutenant had been promoted to three levels in a row because he had done an excellent job in completing the tasks assigned by his superiors, and that he had rushed to any of the top positions in other regions as a leader in the "100-person project" for the promotion of young cadres by the metropolitan governor.

Bamble and the others cried to death, and Masha even lit a fire and burned a few of his favorite clothes. Zhou Yu stood beside Xerxes, and Wu thought it was funny. You fools, I'm not going to die, what are you doing?

"Captain, you have to come back!"

"Elder Li, I'm sorry for the year, it turns out that I always scold you behind my back!"

"The captain of the lieutenant, the commander of a battalion. There is no captain, no father. ”

Holy shit, I haven't seen you so nervous. Zhou Yu took a bite on the ground, okay! The mask was dead, except for the eyes and nostrils, and the old phlegm bounced back, staining his mouth and nose, and he almost didn't vomit. It seems that the days under this mask really have to be used to for a few days.

Xerxes was originally an anxious man, and the defeat in the Greco-Persian War had a lot to do with his quick success. However, time changes, and people change. Especially after refining in the ninth layer of hell for more than 2,000 years, he was just freed and became a slave for three years, and he was no longer so arbitrary, no longer so domineering, but more calm and calm in his temperament.

According to Zhou Yu's suggestion, he patiently and conscientiously carried out the construction of hardware facilities and team building. The first is to change the square where Bruno originally planned to build a huge rain temple into a training ground, which is mainly used to train the equestrian skills of cavalry, and this group of slaves used to have few riders, let alone ride horses.

After three battles, there were more than 4,000 horses captured, plus the previous Bruno department, which was inexhaustible. In addition to equipping it for the use of the Immortals, Xerxes handed over all the work of raising horses to Cassido, and this old man became the Bima Wen of the new era.

The second is to drill twice a day, divided into red and blue teams, except for the use of smoothed weapons, all other imitation of actual combat exercises, catch and kill, the purpose is to improve the survival ability of the sergeants in actual combat. In the past few days, although there have been no deaths or injuries, there are many people with blue noses and swollen faces.

The third is to organize a speech contest, take out the time before meals every day, and select ten people to come out to give a keynote speech, the subject matter is not limited, but it is necessary to say that there is enough time, and you can't fool or copy it. At the beginning, the people who took the stage were still squirming and pinching, but later everyone got used to the scene being called a lively, as if the stand-up comedian went to the wrong set, and even someone mainly asked to perform on stage.

These activities not only allowed the slave soldiers to train their muscles and bones, but also allowed them to regain their self-esteem in place. The so-called self-esteem is to be able to talk eloquently and without timidity in front of everyone. What Zhou Yu and Xerxes needed was exactly such an army.

"It's my turn to speak today, haha! Everybody! "Among the speakers before dinner to-night is an old man with white hair and white beard, who will only be older than Cassido. Zhou Yu vaguely felt that the old man seemed to have something to explode, so he leaned forward.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm going to tell you a story today!"

"Good! Good! There were cheers and applause below.

"I also listened to my grandfather tell this story, and he listened to his grandfather. How long ago did it happen, I really don't know. ”

"It's okay! Let's talk about it! ”

"Come on! Sensei nonsense! ”

"A long time ago, on the continent of Thorasia there was a man like the wind, he had inexhaustible mana and supreme sentiments, the darkness would hide away when he saw him, the disease saw him die naturally, and the pain of everyone was buried under his shadow, even the cyclops and the dark knight bowed down to him."

However, one day he was betrayed by his cronies and lost his mana and weapons. All the demons on the continent of Thorasia who had been sealed away escaped by him, captured him, tortured him, bit him, and finally banished him to the Mountains of Sin, where there was only snow and cold all year round. ”

In the end, he finally couldn't bear everything in front of him and became one with the ice and snow. In the spring of the following year, when the flowers bloomed, the spring that flowed down from the snow was mixed with five things, which were said to be the incarnation of this wind-chasing boy: the seed of pain, the source of sorrow, the tears of hatred, the lie of betrayal, and the howl of anger. ”

"Okay, that's the end of my story, thank you! Thank you! Just as everyone heard the miserable and miserable relatives, the old man stopped abruptly and went straight to the dining hall. It turned out that the cooking class had already brought out the broth pot. According to the new rules set by the Grand Governor, slaves over the age of seventy and under the age of seventeen were allowed to eat at the table for a few minutes. Otherwise, if they eat with strong men, they will not eat food, but loss.

"Hey, old man, go over there. Make room for me. A masked man, Lai Lai, chirped over.

"It's such a big place over there, why don't you sit down, why do you have to squeeze me here?" The old man didn't lift his eyelids, picked up a bone from the pot, sucked the bone marrow, and smashed his mouth as he sucked.

"I said, where did you hear that story today, you couldn't have made it up, did you?"

"Jokes, can I joke with the elders of the family? Nonsense, be careful that I tell the elder and whip you. After speaking, the old man was stunned for a moment, obviously realizing that he had slipped his mouth, and the elder had already left.

"Hey, can you tell me the name of the person in that story?"

"Why did you tell you?" The old man thought to himself that he would not have to fight again in the future, and there would be nothing wrong with asking for these immortals.

"No, I want to take this hero as my role model and idol, study day and night, bow and worship, morning and evening, carry forward the great spirit, and inherit the faith of struggle."

"Hey, okay, okay, I'll tell you. You promise me, after I finish speaking, you will go to eat at another table, okay? I listen to you, and my brain hurts. ”

"Okay, okay!"

"The hero I'm talking about, my grandfather said it's called Shenbing Kun."

Zhou Yu was as stunned as a wooden chicken, the bowl in his hand fell off with a click, and half of the cow's bone marrow lay on the surface of his feet.
