Chapter 63: The Third Round of Attack
"According to the information I originally purchased, the tower defense interval is one hour. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info I don't know why this time, but the break we were given was 2 hours. Sandru said something strange.
"Isn't that great?" Yun Qi asked rhetorically.
An extra hour of rest may seem inconsequential, but it's more than just an extra hour of recovery time for the soldiers stationed at Hot Springs.
As the difficulty continues to increase, the attacking enemy becomes stronger and stronger, and the more time you have, the more time you have, the more hour you have a buffer period, at least the chance of "the previous round of enemies has not been cleared, and the next round of enemy tragedy" is greatly reduced.
"Good...... Naturally, it's a good thing, but I'm just worried that the Lord God is so generous to give us an extra hour of rest, I'm afraid that there is no peace in the back. ā
Yun Qi thought for a moment and said, "Maybe things aren't as bad as you think. ā
ā¦ā¦
On the shores of the Euboreal Strait, there are Persian-style tents everywhere, densely connected in a line.
Among the countless tents, a huge tent with gold veins stands out among them.
This is the Persian king's tent!
Xerxes's temporary bedchamber.
At this moment, in the king's tent, which should have been holy and silent, Xerxes looked at the battle report that had just been presented, and was furious and kicked the horse of the general to the messenger.
"With less than 10,000 people, you can't even take the outermost hot spring pass, and sacrifice my elite shield fighters and spearmen in vain! And I lost one of my generals in vain! ā
Xerxes was two meters tall, with a healthy bronza all over his body, and not a single hair on his head.
His eyes shone as scarlet as coal, and anger was brewing and rising at this moment.
"Your Majesty, now, it's time to dispatch ......" The general, who looked a little similar to Xerxes, stood up.
Being able to sit at a table in Xerxes's royal tent shows that his identity is extremely unusual.
"Brother, now is not the time for you to make a move. The duty of cannon fodder is to constantly send people to death, to probe the details of the enemy, and to consume the enemy's troops. Xerxes said.
"If it weren't for the storm last night, which had wiped out the vanguard baggage, it would not have been possible to constantly move troops from afar to consume the enemy with this refueling tactic." The man turned out to be the brother of Xerxes, the younger brother of the Emperor of Persia.
Xerxes was furious at the thought of the storm: "That damned lieutenant-commander of the navy, stupid to the extreme, actually ordered the men and horses along the coast to be transferred to the ship, if it were not for this, how could it be after a storm, so the army was completely wiped out." The army is just that, anyway, it's a group of useless first-order servant soldiers, so it's ...... heavy."
As Xerxes said, without baggage, there was a big problem with the dispatch of the army.
First of all, the army could not be massed along the shores of the Euborean Strait, because in that case there would simply not be enough ships to transport supplies for the 300,000-strong army.
Another reason for this result is the loss of hundreds of ships, which has created a huge gap in the transportation line.
In addition, there is another place that makes Xerxes painful: because of the experience of the past, the current naval ships no longer dare to dock in the Euboreal Strait, in case of another storm of the "Poseidon" Fury, he is afraid of even more heavy losses.
Now, Xerxes's naval supply ships had to make a detour and anchor in a sheltered harbor a hundred nautical miles from here.
In this way, although it is foolproof, the transportation of baggage becomes a huge burden.
If this were not the case, Xerxes would have been able to increase the frequency of attacks from once every two hours to once every hour, as planned.
"Damn the Tempest! Damn Sparta! Xerxes looked in the direction of Hot Springs with red eyes.
If he had learned the story behind the storm, he would have cursed not Sparta, but Yunqi.
ā¦ā¦
Yun Qi didn't know that a move he had made the God King above ten thousand people angry.
He was now facing the third wave of the Persian attack.
This time, he faced a barbarian warrior covered in bone armor.
In the absence of their specific information, the reincarnators could only learn a little bit about this limited but unusually strong army from the mouths of the Greek coalition.
They come from the Longjing tribe, and legend has it that the ancestors of the Longjing tribe were heroic figures with dragon blood in ancient times.
The totem of their nation is the dragon as the totem.
However, in Yun Qi's opinion, this totem, which sounds similar to the Chinese, is actually far from it.
One is an imaginary fetish with horns like a deer, a head like a camel, eyes like a rabbit, a neck like a snake, a belly like a mirage, scales like a fish, claws like an eagle, palms like a tiger, and ears like a cow, and the other is quite similar to the evil dragon in Western legends.
The equipment on this group of fierce barbarian warriors is also very different.
They did not wear cloth armor like the servants of the army, nor did they wear leather armor like the regular Persian army, nor did they cover with animal skins like the tribal soldiers.
They were wearing snow-white bone armor!
Bone Armor! How high can it be?
In this battle, the mercenaries, who had always been conservative, rushed to the forefront.
Probably inspired by Yun Qi's hints and encouragement before, he wanted to rush into the enemy army and kill the king of the barbarians to obtain valuable killing points.
It's just that as soon as they rushed like this, they immediately tasted the power of the barbarian warriors.
These tall barbarian warriors are strong and powerful, not to mention fierce, and even the bone armor defense on their bodies even exceeds that of regular Persian elite soldiers.
And the barbarian warriors also have bone shields and bone knives.
Both weapons are polished from ancient dragon bones, and the blood of the ancestors is also incorporated into the weapons, so that these two weapons are protected by the souls of the ancestors, and their power and defense are comprehensively improved.
Of course, it is not an easy task to use the Bone Knife Bone Shield, and it must be a descendant of the Barbarian bloodline to exert its 100% effect.
Yun Qi's iron broadsword slashed at the bone shield that had been polished into a circle, and there was only one more white mark.
This is still a knife to bless the Force!
"What a strong defense!"
And the attack power of the barbarian warriors is not inferior.
A reincarnation who held himself as a defensive person was slashed by a bone knife, and as a result, the skin was opened, and the skin as hard as iron suddenly flowed blood.
With an impenetrable defense, coupled with an unstoppable attack, the Barbarian Warrior is indeed a very tricky enemy.
Moreover, these seemingly muscular barbarians possess strict discipline.
This is the most commendable place on the battlefield filled with gunpowder.
The reincarnator also wanted to take advantage of the terrain of the narrow passage to bully the enemy army with his own powerful force, but he crashed headfirst into the bricks and broke his head and bled out.
But it's hard to ride a tiger, so you can't choose to retreat at this time.
Among them, the two agility elders glanced at each other, and the stealth skills were activated almost at the same time. (To be continued.) )
