Chapter 31 Witnesses
At this time, Yun Qi didn't have the heart to sell Guanzi, especially in front of the two military commanders, the price of selling Guanzi would only be a minus point, not an extra point. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"The two newcomers didn't know much about the Eugra Strait. According to locals, the Euboean Strait is at its most intense at night, during the season. We don't need to send too many men to get this seemingly powerful navy. ”
Dassos and Leonidas looked at each other, but they didn't expect a big problem to be solved so easily in Yun Qi's mouth: "It's that simple?"
Yun Qi knew that they would definitely not believe it based on their own words, and it was impossible to be too cautious in the decision-making that was related to the life and death of nearly 10,000 people.
"Of course it won't be that simple. First of all, the Persian commander was not an idiot, since the navy was docked, he allocated a part of his men to be stationed along the coastline, and in line with the principle of not putting all his eggs in one basket, he most likely moved about half of his baggage to the shore. Once Poseidon's anger was vented on the Persian ships, they would be able to keep at least half of their supplies. ”
King Leonidas's brows furrowed with the word "Chuan", in the face of forty times his own troops, if the opponent still has enough food and grass, then it is definitely not good news for them on the defensive.
"In any case, we must destroy all the baggage of the Persians." Leonidas had the final word.
But the question is how to destroy the nearly half of the baggage?
Even if the enemy distributes 4,000 troops to garrison the coastline, it is difficult for the Hot Springs Pass side to mobilize sufficient troops to attack the baggage there, and even if it is a sneak attack, it is necessary to mobilize at least 1,000 elite troops.
"I have a way, so, so......" Yun Qi said his planned plan.
The more Leonidas and Dasus listened, the more surprised they became, not only because of how unexpected Yunqi's plan was, but also because the content was too daring.
"You're not kidding, how can you kill half of the Persian men on the shore with those people you are talking about!" Dassault objected in disbelief, and in his opinion, Yunqi's strategy was child's play.
But it was King Leonidas, who listened attentively to every word Yun Qi said, and seemed to be thoughtful about his whimsy, and did not make a clear statement for a long time.
Seeing the expressions of the two commanders, Yun Qi knew that he had already succeeded halfway, and now he needed to enlist the support of the other half.
So he patiently explained to Dassos: "General Dassos, I need to point out your mistake here: in my plan, I did not expect to annihilate the Persian forces on the coastline in a war, and we only need to make the Persian decision-makers think that there are no ships on the coast."
"But...... But, even if you are right, how can you guarantee that after tonight, the warships docked in the harbor will be wrath of the gods? I am not blaspheming the greatness of the gods, as we all know, the gods do not participate in the battles of the mortal world. ”
I have to say that Dassos was still relatively rational in ancient times when gods were worshipped.
He does not deny the existence of God, nor does he bet his victory on ethereal miracles.
Yun Qi naturally couldn't be unsubstantiated, he immediately gave Hagrid a look, and just when Hagrid was still at a loss, a voice sounded in his heart.
Hagrid immediately understood that this must be what Yun Qi had said beforehand, and immediately accepted it.
A few minutes later, two agile elders came to Hagrid to stand by, and after Hagrid's words, the two of them reluctantly set off.
About half an hour later, the two men came to King Leonidas with a man of unique shape.
It was a man with a severe rickety, I don't know if he was really old, or because he was aging prematurely because of his deformity, and the man looked to be in his fifties.
Dassos had never seen such an ugly man, so cursed by the gods that his back was covered with disgusting sarcomas, which were ninety degrees tall.
I can't believe that this guy can still live until now!
But Dassos quickly turned his gaze from the deformed man's body to his clothes.
It was all too familiar equipment, a shiny brass equipment, and at first glance it was the standard equipment of a typical Spartan hoplite.
Could it be that this guy is a Spartan?
But as we all know, Sparta had a written rule.
From the moment a baby is born in the womb, it must be carried to an elder for examination within a specified time.
If the elders thought he was unhealthy, he was thrown into a deserted infant farm in the wilderness.
The mother would also bathe the baby with spirits, and if he had convulsions or lost consciousness, it proved that he was not physically strong and let him die, because he could not grow into a good warrior.
It is difficult for a frail Spartan baby to survive the strict screening of the elders, let alone a deformed baby at first glance.
"Are you a Spartan?" Leonidas sat calmly by the campfire and asked the deformed man with a blank face.
"My king, my name is Ephiati, and my parents were reluctant to give me over to the elders after I was born, and they secretly left me behind, and in order to escape the eyes and ears of their neighbors, they abandoned their homeland and came here from the main city of Sparta." The deformed man opened his mouth full of misaligned teeth, and some slurred his meaning.
Leonidas nodded and glanced at Yun Qi, who was silent, he didn't expect to find such a local.
"I guess your equipment must have been left to you by your father." King Leonidas looked back at Ephiati, who was in very good condition.
You must know that the smelting technology of ancient metal utensils is limited, and it has not yet reached the technical level of anti-rust coating, and this man named Ephiati is obviously not the original owner of this equipment, from which it can be seen that his affection for this equipment is second only to his parents.
"Yes, my king. For my sake, my father left his favorite battlefield and bid farewell to the badge of glory, which has always been a pity. I want to carry on my father's legacy and fight for my king. Please let me join you. ”
Leonidas didn't expect that the other party would suddenly offer to join the array of defense, and he looked at Ephiati's severely deformed body, and he already had a certain number in his heart.
But he is not good at immediately refusing the other party's desire to fight bloodily, just as he never defends a challenge from a strong enemy.
"I'm looking for you, Ephiati, to find out about the Euborean Strait......" King Leonidas got straight to the point.
Ephiati's answer once again confirmed Yun Qi's intelligence.
Having proved the dangers of the night in the Straits, Ephiati once again offered to his king to join the 300 warriors, trying to prove to all the Spartans that he was not a waste, and to clear the humiliation of his parents' uprooting.
"The battlefield is not a game, and you have to face the favor of death anytime and anywhere." Leonidas said politely.
And the mercenaries, who are reincarnated, all look at this deformed person with longing eyes, and their eyes are like hungry jackals, greedy when they see a zebra that has fallen to the ground injured. (To be continued.) )
