The next morning, as soon as the sun was shining on the earth, Li Liguo saw a small group of Persian soldiers escorting a well-dressed man to the hot spring pass. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The Persian envoy did not panic at the slightest when he saw several spears pointing at him around him, and he calmly asked the Spartan soldiers: "Who is your commander?" I am an emissary of the Persian Empire! ”

After saying that, the messenger was silent, as if talking to the Spartan soldier had betrayed his identity!

Leonidas walked up to the Persian envoy with his weapon, and Li Liguo stood a few steps behind Leonidas, watching quietly.

The two sides looked at each other face to face for a while in front of the hot springs, and the Persian envoy proclaimed to Leonidas in a proud tone: "I am the king of the world, the messenger of the god of gods, the king of kings, and on behalf of the authority of my master, I have come here to give you Spartans a chance, lay down your arms and kneel in surrender, and the merciful lord of Persia, Xerxes the Great, will spare your lives, listen, king of Sparta, you men cannot resist our hundreds of thousands of Persian armies, and the mountains are full of our sentinels, Your poor position is like a pile of rotten wood, vulnerable, how can you stop us?!

There are too many soldiers in our Persian Empire to count, and the arrows alone can hide the sun!

Surrender, Spartans, this is your only chance to live! ”

Li Liguo pouted, did the Persians come to demonstrate?

Psychological offensive?

Maybe it's useful for an ordinary army of cold weapons, but unfortunately, for these brainless Spartans, these words are no different from fart......

Leonidas laughed and mocked, "That's great, we can kill in the shade!" ”

The envoy of the Persian Empire had a look of anger on his face, and he looked at the Spartan warriors around him, who were far more numerous than his side, and did not dare to attack, and planned to turn around and leave here in anger.

Leonidas said behind the Persian envoy: "Shall I allow you to leave here?" Go back and deliver a message to your master, it seems that one person is enough. ”

Li Liguo glanced at Leonidas in surprise, the temper of this Spartan king is not so kind as it seems on the surface!

What followed was a one-sided massacre, Leonidas did not bully the Persians, but sent the same number of Spartan warriors, and then turned these Persian soldiers into fertilizer for the land with zero casualties, along with the terrifying messenger with a loud tone!

Only one frightened Persian soldier was left behind, and fled back to the camp of the Persian army in panic!

Li Liguo was very curious, what would the face of Emperor Xerxes look like?

Obviously, the Persians did not expect intimidation to win, and soon the earth was heard with the rumbling footsteps of the march, which was brought by the simultaneous march of hundreds of thousands of people!

The ancient army marched in very dense columns, unlike the modern army, with all kinds of vehicles, and the team was also very open, after all, it was necessary to guard against the enemy's firepower!

Therefore, after the number of ancient armies increased to a certain extent, the sound of marching was very loud, and many experienced scouts could even know the approximate number of enemy troops and the number of cavalry troops by listening to the ground!

"Prepare for battle!" Leonidas roared, and the originally scattered soldiers of the Spartan Royal Praetorian Guard quickly assembled into a standard Greek heavy infantry phalanx!

The soldiers under Li Liguo's command also formed a non-standard Greek heavy infantry phalanx under his strict orders, the reason why it is said to be non-standard is because only more than 100 of them are pure Greek heavy infantry, and the rest are Li Liguo's general guards, these general guards also temporarily picked up spears and inserted swords into their waists, as candidates for Greek heavy infantry, and at the forefront are more than a dozen elite general guards wearing a full set of iron plate armor like an iron can!

The Divine Arm Crossbowmen were completely placed in the rear by Li Liguo, and they will not need to play a role for a while, after all, the crossbow arrows are things that cannot be recreated, although they can be recycled, but they will also be damaged if they are used too much, and until the critical moment, the Divine Arm Crossbowmen are rarely sent to the front line by Li Liguo!

The terrain on the hot springs was very favorable to them, and they could condescendingly hold back the Persians who rushed up the slope!

However, it was not the army of the Persians who came first, but a rain of arrows from the sky!

A real rain of arrows!

Thousands of feathered arrows fell from the sky, and the Persian envoy was right, the sun was really, and the sun was really covered!

"Defend against arrows!"

The Greek phalanx of the Spartans squatted on the ground in unison with shields to cover themselves, Li Liguo's army was a bit chaotic on this side, needless to say, the Greek heavy infantry did the same as the Spartans, and those general guards were holding shields to cover themselves in various modeling actions, compared with the neatness of the Greek heavy infantry, the picture sense was a little unsatisfactory......

The most indifferent were the tin cans in the first row, who just looked up, and then held their heads to protect their eyes, waiting to be shot......

Crackling, dangdang......

After a rain of arrows, the earth turned directly into hedgehogs, but no one was killed or wounded, whether it was the Spartan warriors or Li Liguo's army......

Li Liguo himself has already retreated to the safe rear, he doesn't have the heart to emulate Leonidas, who is a soldier on the front line, and his subordinates are working hard in the front, and it is safer for him to sit in the back and watch the play......

Well, Wang Zhong and several guards followed behind Li Liguo and watched the play together......

Wang Zhong's fingers were still trembling and pointed at the arrows all over the ground and said, "This ...... This...... How many archer volleys would it take to cover the land! ”

Li Liguo frowned and interrupted Wang Zhong's trill: "Don't talk too much, watch carefully, learn more, look at the Spartan warriors, still talking and laughing there!"

Don't put on a shameful look at me, this is the battlefield, I don't care, but the Spartans look down on cowards the most! ”

Wang Zhong hurriedly bowed his head and said, "General Xie's teachings, his subordinates have remembered ......"

Li Liguo and his entourage once again resumed the 'watching the show' mode......

Of course, Li Liguo is not nervous at all, it is also a lie, although he is in the rear, as long as the Persians break through the front line of the Spartans and their own army, these few people will definitely not be able to escape the pursuit of hundreds of thousands of troops!

What's more, the Persians have cavalry!

After the rain of arrows, the Spartan warriors and Li Liguo's army resumed their defensive formation, and the Persian soldiers in front of them were already rushing up!

Leonidas shouted angrily, "We are here to stop them, we are here to resist them, we are here to destroy them!" Let them die under our shield! ”

The Spartan warriors raised their spears in unison and shouted, "Sparta! ”
