Chapter 59: Division of Troops
After Li Liguo and Leonidas returned to the camp, they thought for a while and said to the king of Sparta: "Our geographical advantage is very large, and the heavy weapons of the Persian army cannot be used against us at all, and the Spartan warriors are also trustworthy warriors.

Speaking of this, Li Liguo paused for a moment, saw Leonidas smile unexpectedly, and continued: "So there are 300 Spartan warriors and thousands of servant troops here in Hot Springs, which is enough to resist hundreds of thousands of Persian troops!"
The shepherd's trail in the rear is the key to our resistance to the Persian army, the other side is too numerous, once the front and rear are encircled, our geographical advantage will be lost!
I don't think much of the fighting power of the Phosians, and I hope to send the main force of my army to the rear to defend the shepherd trail and keep our rear! ”
Leonidas was silent for a moment before he spoke: "You are right, most of the Phosians' army is a makeshift conscription, far inferior to our professional soldiers, but are you going to go to the rear with your troops?" ”
Li Liguo noticed Leonidas' scrutinizing gaze and knew that the king of Sparta suspected that he was afraid of death, so he offered to transfer his troops to the relatively safe rear......
Li Liguo naturally won't go to the rear, at least not for the time being!
He also has to be optimistic about Leonidas's life, which is the key to whether the mission can be completed!
What's more, he also wanted to see the combat power of the legendary Spartan warrior with his own eyes!
The Spartan Royal Praetorian Guard, this is the most elite Spartan warrior, and it is also a Spartan warrior who already has an heir and is determined to die!
In a sense, these 300 people represent the embodiment of the highest combat power of the Spartan city-state!
After all, legends are legends, and after being cheated by Greek soldiers once and taking on this mission of nine deaths, Li Liguo feels that the next time he chooses a troop, it is better to personally test his combat effectiveness, well, if there is a next time......
Li Liguo calmly met Leonida's scrutinizing gaze and said loudly: "I! Will join the Spartan warriors in guarding the Hot Springs! What is needed here is not the number of soldiers, but the bravery of the soldiers, so I will send most of the ordinary soldiers to the rear to garrison, leaving a few of the most elite soldiers to fight with you! ”
"Haha, good! I like warriors like you, and if we make it back alive in this battle, you'll gain the friendship of the Spartan city-states! ”
Li Liguo looked emotional and grateful on the surface, but sighed helplessly in his heart: surviving under the attack of hundreds of thousands of troops day and night? Or is it a dream......
After obtaining Leonidas' understanding, Li Liguo called his most loyal guard, Heizi, and instructed him: "I will give you command in a while, you take all our Zhuge crossbowmen and hand-to-hand combat soldiers, as well as 500 Greek heavy infantry, to the rear shepherd trail, and there will be a Spartan guide to show you the way, remember, no matter what, you must hold there, and you must not let the Persian army break through there, my life and death are in your hands!" ”
"But...... General, you gave me most of your troops, what about your safety?! ”
Li Liguo smiled and pointed at the resting Spartan warriors: "Our allies, those Spartans, what do you think of them?" ”
Kuroko gave a rare thumbs up and said, "I tried to compete with them just now, they are a group of real warriors, and I can't beat them single-handedly......"
"So, with them, I don't have to worry about my safety!"
After Li Liguo arranged Heizi's troops, Wang Zhong hurriedly walked over and asked: "General, Heizi is simple-minded and reckless, and it is inappropriate for him to lead the team to garrison his subordinates in the rear, so it is better to match him with a person with a flexible mind." ”
"Oh? What a coincidence, Steward Wang's mind is more flexible, do you want to help the sunspot?! ”
"But if there is a life, the subordinates must bow down and die!"
Wang Zhong's answer was so reasonable!
Li Liguo once again refreshed his understanding of the thickness of this Wang steward's face......
"Hehe, I remember the loyalty of the king's steward, how can I be 'willing' to let you go in such a dangerous job in the rear, I am not around, once you have an accident, am I not missing a right-hand man?
The king should stay with me, and I will take care of you if there is something, right? ”
Wang Zhong listened and his forehead began to break out in a cold sweat, he had already inquired, not far from here is hundreds of thousands of Persian troops, and the hot springs are only about 5,000 people, and this General Li will send out more than 2,000 people!
What does Wang Zhong think, staying here is no different from waiting for death......
This is also the reason why he hurriedly ran to follow the brigade to the rear, he didn't know the history of the 300 warriors of Sparta, he only knew that thousands of people against hundreds of thousands, and the gods would die when they descended to earth!
But...... But this General Li is obviously still guarding himself, and he will drag himself with him to accompany the funeral when he dies......
Wang Zhong responded tremblingly: "My subordinates obey the general's orders......"
After speaking, Wang Zhong seemed to be dozens of years old all of a sudden, and staggered to the camp, followed by the two guards that Li Liguo had not removed from beginning to end!
Li Liguo didn't let Wang Zhong leave him, naturally not so that he could be buried with him, he never thought that he was going to die!
He just didn't want him to leave his sight and run away without permission, Wang Zhong's character was not good, but his administrative ability was very skilled, and he saved Li Liguo a lot of things!
There is no way, who told Li Liguo's subordinates that in addition to the defeated soldiers who surrendered, they were a group of professional soldiers, not to mention civilian officials, and they didn't even have a scholar......
This is also the reason why Wang Zhong lives very moisturizing!
Of course, Wang Zhong is also very aware of his status, Li Liguo looks very pleasing to the eye when he works, to be honest, Li Liguo no longer has the murderous intent that he just saw Wang Zhong, this kind of person has no influence on the army, and it doesn't matter if he kills or not!
The efficiency of Li Liguo's army was still good, and he won the approval of Leonidas in the morning, and then left for the rear in the afternoon!
However, Leonidas did not expect this friendly general to do such a desperate thing, leaving about 300 soldiers around him!
Half of them are ranged units with strange projectile weapons!
This......
Did he really think that his soldiers were as powerful as the Spartan Royal Praetorian Guard?
In other words, Leonidas had no choice but to bring such a few people by himself......
Leonidas asked Li Liguo curiously, "Are you really relieved to leave such a few people?" ”
Li Liguo laughed and said, "Fighting side by side with the warriors of Sparta, I have nothing to fear!" ”
