In the early morning of the third day, the Spartan warriors who had been guarding the hot springs for two days and two nights were gone!

Only the severed limbs scattered among the valleys, and the severed limbs of the Persians. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The Persian general, who led the charge, was shocked, and looked at the empty valley, and he thought curiously: "Could it be that the Spartans ran away overnight?" Impossible, the Spartans will definitely not run away! ”

"Stop!"

He hurriedly ordered, fearing that this would be a trap for the Spartans.

Because according to his judgment of the Spartan character, such a thing as running away would not have happened to this group of wolf-like guys.

Sure enough, a red-robed and gold-armored Spartan warrior appeared on the small mound behind the Hot Spring Pass, which was the place where Ling Zifeng had been researching for the past few days.

The Persian general took a closer look, and it was actually Leonidas, the king of Sparta!

He glanced around in surprise and found that Leonidas had only dozens of guards around him, including Ling Zifeng, a magician, and the assassin beauty Mo Sandi.

Looking at this strange situation, he was suspicious, and he didn't understand how to deal with these things in front of him at all.

Originally, he saw that there were only a dozen people around King Leonidas, and wanted to order the team to charge and surround him to death.

But then he thought about it, the god king Xerxes seemed to have explained that he could not easily kill the king of Sparta, and now he was really confused, so he had to stand still and urgently send a message to the master in the rear.

Looking at the enemy who was stagnant, Ling Zifeng secretly said "Okay".

The enemy, as he had expected, did not dare to attack lightly, and had to consult Xerxes. Judging by Xerxes' suspicious and conceited personality, he would certainly not attack easily.

Sure enough, the order from the rear of the Persians turned out to be really "suspend the offensive".

In fact, this embarrassing scene is not entirely due to Xerxes's character.

The main reason why the Persians did not dare to attack was the peculiarity of Leonidas' status as king.

If Xerxes had killed the Spartan king easily, he would have been unable to resist the wrath of the Spartan army that had avenged the king.

He was not willing to stir up the Spartans' hatred for such a man, thus blocking his path to the conquest of Greece.

Of course, it may also be that Xerxes himself wants to delay time, after all, his elite troops will be outflanked from the back of the Spartans.

He wanted to wait until that moment to surround him, so that it would indeed seem safer.

Xerxes wanted to drag out time, and the Spartans wanted to drag out even more.

They were happy to look at the Persians who were standing still, Ling Zifeng knew that his strategy had succeeded, but in fact, his strategy was the same as the plot of "The Empty City Plan", which was gambling.

He was gambling that Xerxes was unwilling to kill King Leonidas easily.

He bet on this treasure right.

Looking at the Persians who were stagnant, Ling Zifeng simply hit the ground with his ass.

He said to the people around him, "Sit down, the Persians will not come." If you have enough strength, you can kill people in the evening! ”

The Spartan, who was still a little nervous, looked at the Persian army that really did not move, and one by one he learned to do it heroically on the ground in front of him.

Seeing them so casually scattered, the Persian generals couldn't help but look at each other.

However, Xerxes's order had been given, and he did not have the right to attack, so he could only stare at the other side.

Mo Sandi, who was sitting next to Ling Zifeng, was a little uneasy at this time, she looked at Ling Zifeng who was chic and casual on the side uneasily, and asked worriedly, "Can the plan succeed?" ”

Ling Zifeng smiled: "Of course! ”

Of course, if this little trick is alone, it will definitely not be enough for Xerxes to come to persuade him to surrender alone.

Xerxes was waiting for the elite who were outflanked after the circle, and Ling Zifeng was also waiting.

This elite Persian turned out to be the key to their plan.

Time passed, and the Persian army, which had not received the order, was still waiting at the hot spring pass, and the sun was gradually setting in the west, and the golden sunlight was shining on every dusk in front of the hot spring pass.

Finally, the person they were waiting for came!

A black-clad and masked man appeared above the valley of Hot Springs, and he reflected the last rays of the setting sun, bent his bow and arrows to aim at dozens of Spartans in front of Hot Springs.

Ten, twenty, fifty, more than a hundred black-clad masked men appeared on the valley, all of them drawing their pitch-black longbows and aiming downward.

The special feathered arrows indicate that these people are the elite troops of the Persians around them.

The sun sets below the cliffs.

It's dark.

Seeing that the rear was outflanked, all the Spartans sitting on the ground jumped to their feet.

They quickly gathered, and the heavy shields were tightly arranged in a hemispherical shape.

The tortoise array was set aside, protecting the king, Ling Zifeng, and Mo Sandi tightly.

Like "last time", the plot returns to this scene.

Finally, the Spartans were surrounded in front and back.

At this time, Xerxes's last scruples were dispelled, and the Persian army, which was like a sea of mountains, once again surrounded his king, came to the Thermopylae Pass, and carried out his self-righteous persuasion work.

Fearing that the Spartans would be assassinated, the king stopped when he was still far away from the Spartans.

Or "the Persian general" spoke: "Leonidas, you can really do it, congratulations, you have indeed turned disaster into victory." I have to admire you for dragging us off for half a day with this kind of trick! ”

He took a few steps forward, glanced at Xerxes in the king's seat behind him, and continued: "Although you are so arrogant, it is unbearable. But the god-king Xerxes still admires you, as well as the bravery and superb tactics of Sparta. You are qualified to be our strong friend. Despite your many insults and blasphemy, the God-King Xerxes is ready to forgive you and repay you for your efforts. ”

Listening to these familiar conversations, Ling Zifeng thought amusedly: "Next, it should have been the hunchbacked man Ephiati who stepped forward to prove Xerxes's generosity. But he was killed by me, so it's time for me to take his place. ”

As soon as he thought of it, he did it, and Ling Zifeng suddenly walked out of the team with a white flag.

He said loudly to the Persian general: "We surrender!" ”

The audience was in an uproar, they did not expect that an inexplicable person would suddenly appear to surrender on behalf of the Spartans.

The Persian general looked at him and said sharply, "Who are you?" Why do you represent Sparta? Let King Leonidas come! ”

"Huh? Can't I? I'm sorry, I don't know. Don't be fierce, the king is coming. ”

Ling Zifeng said mockingly, and handed the white flag to Leonidas, who had just left the turtle formation.

In fact, Ling Zifeng's teasing behavior just now was not really teasing, but he was enchanting.

The so-called "white flag" in his hand was actually a spear carrying a rag.

On the Spartan side, Ling Zifeng's hand that was holding the spear before could be seen also holding the wand at the same time.

Of course, the wand was hidden behind the spear and the Persians could not see it.

However, the elite Persian troops standing on the high ground must have seen it, but for some reason they don't seem to have noticed it!

The rag on the tip of the spear, which fell when it was handed to Leonidas, did not pick it up.

Because this cloth was to cover the brilliance and fluctuations emitted by Ling Zifeng's enchantment process just now.

The moment they alternated spears, Ling Zifeng completed the enchantment, and the rag was naturally deliberately shaken off by him.

The king threw his helmet, threw off his shield, stood his spear upright, and was half-kneeling.

He bowed his head and said nothing, as if he really wanted to surrender.

Without a helmet to obstruct his vision, he had seen far enough; There was no shield to affect his balance, and he was now in a stable shape.

He fell to his knees, and Xerxes was satisfied, so he took a few steps forward.

However, instead of putting down the spear, the king put it up.

Only he and Ling Zifeng knew the reason for this action, which was to avoid the tip of the spear from hitting the solid and exploding prematurely.

The Persian general "again" very cautiously noticed that Leonidas still had a weapon in his hand, and he scolded: "And your spear! ”

Leonidas, who was half-kneeling, bowed his head and ignored him.

The Persian general repeated again, "Drop your spear!" ”

Suddenly! There was a flash of gold in the room.

Something small shot out of the Spartan tortoise array and stabbed the Persian general in the throat.

There was a soft "stab" sound, and the delicate knife spun rapidly and slashed across his neck.

The Persian general felt a slight pain in his neck, and he subconsciously covered it with his hand, but what he touched was blood gushing out like a fountain.

He stared at him and fell to the ground without a single wail.

This beautiful flying knife is naturally Mo Sandi's masterpiece.

Xerxes watched his general being slaughtered "again", and he roared "again" in anger:

"Kill them!"

Suddenly, the Persian elite standing above the valley of Hot Springspass loosened the bowstring in his hand, and hundreds of arrows rained down from a high place.

"Whoosh."

After the rain of arrows, there was a scream of crying father and mother.

However, an amazing scene appeared!

It was not the Spartans in the field who were shot to the ground, but the Persian troops at the forefront!

This sudden change was the back hand arranged by Ling Zifeng.

As I said before, Xerxes is waiting for his elite troops, and Ling Zifeng is also waiting for the elite troops that "Xerxes thinks".

Because these elites have long been sent to intercept them, the Spartans have been dealt with.

They also put on the enemy's clothes according to Ling Zifeng's request, took the enemy's weapons, came to the hot spring pass, and sang this "empty city plan" with the king.

The Spartan general suddenly shouted and shouted, and more than 100 Spartan warriors hiding behind the hot spring pass rushed out.

They cooperated with the rain of arrows from the heights, and killed the troops in front of Xerxes in an instant.

Xerxes found himself in a ploy and hurriedly ordered a retreat.

But his tens of thousands of troops were all crowded in the narrow area of Hot Spring Pass, and he could retreat if he said he would retreat.

He probably never thought that he would need to retreat in the face of the Spartans who were already in the dead land.

The idiot king of the Persian Empire, who was not good at military affairs, miscalculated again.

If he was not alarmed, he could have ordered the army to attack forcibly, and the Spartans would surely die.

If he is old and calm, he can also let the shield-bearer support him and fight and retreat, at least not be exposed to danger.

If he hadn't been so arrogant and proud, he could have jumped out of the king and hid in the vast Persian army, making it difficult for the Spartans to find a target.

However, all this, he did not have.
