This time, the dust and dirt of the battlefield obscured the glittering light of the Athenian shield, and the blood condensed on the spearhead made the spear no longer sharp, and the Athenian soldier with the spear was parched, sweaty, and covered in blood. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Exhausted, they knew that the advantage was in their hands, and they resolutely moved on, a sight that frightened the Persian soldiers, given their previous experience! However, these Persian soldiers had no way to retreat, and behind them were their ships, and Datis set an example for them to be faithful to their duties!

The morale of the collapsed Persian soldiers recovered slightly, but this time, the tired Greeks deliberately slowed down the pace, so that the Persians did not collapse immediately after the Persians escaped the violent shock of the one-time shock of the Athenian phalanx.

Li Liguo was puzzled by the impact of the greatly reduced Greek heavy infantry, perhaps because they had been fighting for too long and were physically exhausted, or maybe they wanted to slowly grind down the Persian soldiers who were bound to lose, who knows?

Anyway, the fierceness of the battle has not diminished in the slightest!

The battle near the ship was the most intense, because the Persian soldiers who were cornered were desperately fighting, and the Greek general Kalimash took the lead in slashing and slashing in front of the Persian fleet in order to prevent the Persian fleet from leaving, and was stabbed several times by the Persian soldiers from the ship and fell down, seeing that there was more air in and less air out......

The heroism of the commander greatly stimulated the fighting enthusiasm of the Greek heavy infantry, and although the battle was still overwhelming, it became extremely fierce and long, and the desperate resistance of the Persian soldiers was not fruitless, and most of the ships managed to escape from this cemetery, at the cost that many Persian soldiers finally laid down their arms and surrendered when there was no hope of escaping!

The end of the battle on the ships meant the end of the battle, and as the Athenian army swept across the narrow coast, Datis stood on the ship carrying the surviving soldiers, looking at the sand stained red with the blood of the Persian soldiers, and sighed helplessly.

A lot of soldiers have withdrawn, but most of the elite Persian main forces have been lost, and if you want to attack the Athenian city-state, I am afraid that you will have to recharge for a long time......

After the Persians sailed into the Aegean Sea, the Athenian hoplites began to rest, while the light infantry continued to hunt down the Persian stragglers, especially the Persian soldiers hiding in the Everglades!

It was a glorious victory, and when the Athenian general counted the number of soldiers after the battle, he found that only 192 Athenian hoplites were killed in battle! Most of the dead soldiers came from the Greek line in the center, and the Greek heavy infantry on both flanks suffered negligible losses!

And the Persians, more than 6,000 corpses were left alone, and this is not counting the number of prisoners!

In this 10,000-person level cold weapon battle, Li Liguo saw it from beginning to end, because he was fighting in the Marathon Plains, he had a good vision, and Li Liguo was completely shocked by the barbaric killing of the ancient war!

Wang Zhong looked at the dead bodies all over the ground tremblingly, unable to say a word......

Although Athens won a great victory in the Battle of Marathon, it did not completely annihilate the Persian army, and a large number of Persian ships successfully escaped, which means that the battle is not over, and the Persian Empire will never give up!

And the Athenians also paid a lot of costs, such as the death of the most prestigious commander-in-chief of Kalimash......

As a small leader, Li Liguo soon inquired about a familiar matter, a messenger was sent to Athens, and according to tradition, he had to run the whole distance in full armor!

Li Liguo finally remembered the legend of the marathon, a messenger who, after arriving in Athens, shouted, "Rejoice, we are victorious!" He then fell to his death......

Maybe the messenger was the unlucky guy he remembered......

Li Liguo was not teleported back after the victory, he slept exhaustively in the barracks, and then the next morning, 2,000 Spartan soldiers arrived in Athens, they had already missed the battle, but still wanted to see the battlefield, presumably to confirm whether the victory was as great as the Athenians claimed.

Athens is not far from the plain of Marathon, so Li Liguo was fortunate enough to meet the legendary Spartan soldiers for the first time, well, just watching from afar......

The Spartans, having visited the battlefield, praised the Athenians, and then went home......

No mud and water......

It was only at this time that Li Liguo finally received the transmission of that mysterious voice!

"Ding, congratulations to the Marauder Li Liguo for participating in the Battle of Marathon and winning the battle, and the number of enemies killed in the battle is being calculated......

After the calculation, please choose the direction of the reward:

1. Troop class rewards for the Athenian forces.

2. Troop rewards for the Persian Empire.

Note: Once you have established a reward, the next time you enter the campaign dungeon, it will be assigned to the side of your chosen faction, but if there is no faction of your choice, it will not be assigned to the opposing side of the chosen faction! ”

Li Liguo frowned and pondered: It seems that he chose the Persian Empire to be hostile to Sparta in the future, which doesn't seem to be good, besides, although the Persian Empire resisted very tenaciously in this battle, Li Liguo remembered the embarrassment when he was hit by the Greek heavy infantry phalanx, so he ......

"I choose the Athenian Power class reward!"

"The Athenian forces are confirmed, may I ask the marauder Li Liguo whether he chooses Athenian light infantry or Athenian hoplites?"

"Amount~ Isn't there a hint of the number of rewards?"

"Sorry, the number hint is the Marauder's first novice campaign benefit, and there is no such hint in future campaign dungeons, please choose the Marauder Li Liguo!"

Li Liguo is out of recruitment, this number of your sister's tips is still a novice benefit!

"Forget it, choose the Greek hoplites."

"Congratulations to the Marauder Li Liguo for winning 500 Greek heavy infantry! Since the Marauder Li Liguo personally led people to block the attack of the Persian army and received additional rewards, the Greek heavy infantry template will no longer be composed of traditional Athenian citizens, but will be composed entirely of professional soldiers, and will be added as a battlefield veteran!

I hope that Li Liguo, the Marauder, will continue to work hard next time and participate in the campaign dungeon, the more you change the campaign dungeon, the more rewards you will get! ”

Li Liguo was finally satisfied, this time he made a lot of money, and exchanged the sacrifice of cannon fodder spearmen for 500 professional Greek hoplites, and he no longer had to hide it after he went back!

Well, after the battle, Li Liguo found out that of the more than 600 spearmen he brought, no more than 100 survived intact......

Injured and unable to act independently, Li Liguo gave them a 'humanitarian' heart!
