The commander of the Persian navy, Alahasia, had never done a few stupid things in his life, but today he did two stupid things in a row; The first, of course, was to let the huge warships into the narrow bay and fight the small Greeks, which was not fundamentally different from what Xerxes did when the hot springs were closed; The second thing is what he's doing right now.

Alahasia can't figure out what kind of planes this forward fleet is doing, and it has not been done with the Greeks for so long, is it possible that the combat power is lost on the belly of a woman?

Gotta get some more warships, end the battle as soon as possible, and go to Athens to find the Greeks in the evening!

At the command of Alahasia, the Persian fleet again divided 200 warships, the flutes and drums sounded in unison, and rushed into the east mouth of the bay with full sails; The Egyptian fleet on the other side, looking at the division of the main fleet here, sent 20 additional warships to the west entrance of the bay in order to show "loyalty" and "eye-catching".

As a result, the Corinthian fleet at the western end was under much pressure and suffered more losses; The main Greek fleet at the eastern end was like a dragon entering the sea, and it was extremely violent.

Whether the commander of the Egyptian fleet was of a high level or coped with the matter, the king's army could not judge; However, the Egyptian fleet only invested 70 warships into the western entrance of the bay, which was just right, and more affected the limited space for maneuver. The Corinthian fleet could have barely supported itself with its small and nimble ships, but the Egyptians added 20 more warships to the battle, and the tide of battle took a sharp turn.

At the other end, the Persian forward fleet, which had begun to retreat one after another, was completely tragic.

Originally, the 200 ships of the forward fleet sailed into the narrow bay, which was the wrong tactic; In Salami Bay, Greek warships can come and go freely in many seas, but the Persian warships hit the rocks as soon as they go, and there are not many places in the seemingly open bay where Persian warships can really move. In this case, if the number of Greek warships was a little smaller, the Persian forward fleet would be able to barely cope; But the Greeks outnumbered the Persian forward fleet by 155 ships, and they simply could not cope with it.

All right! Unable to do so, the forward fleet finally decided to withdraw from Salami Bay.

The old sailing warships, trying to avoid the entanglement of the crazy Greeks, finally turned around and pulled up a little speed to prepare to run...... At the entrance to the bay, 200 reinforced Persian warships lined up in ten rows of deep lines and rushed in bravely; This is an unsolvable tragedy, the space is only so large, the number of reinforcements coming downwind is large, the speed is high, the formation is crowded, and the two sides are still moving in opposite directions, where can they hide?

The two Persian fleets in front and behind were suddenly in disarray, and hundreds of clumsy Persian warships were all crowded into a narrow bay and were in a dilemma; The enemy's so-called reinforcements turned out to destroy themselves, and the Greeks, of course, would not give up this opportunity, and immediately rushed forward frantically, bumping and bumping.

The Persian warships trapped in Salami Bay now lost even their slow speed, and some of the panicked warships simply rushed to the shallow water and ran aground; If the battle in the first few hours can be called a tragic drama, then the current battle is a nightmare that cannot be woken up.

The royal army stayed on the flagship of the Spartan fleet, seemingly idle; Yuri Biad was in charge of commanding the battle, and Wang Jun was in charge of watching the battle. Naval warfare is not as good as land warfare, and the current naval battle is a relatively primitive large-scale naval battle, but no matter how primitive it is, this is also a large-scale naval battle; Wang Jun's personal bravery is not of much use on such occasions, unless he engages in broadside battles.

Seeing that the Persian warship had fallen to the point where he could not even fight back, Wang Jun was a little emotional.

"The gods of Persia must have gone to play mahjong......"

"What is Mahjong?" The high-spirited Yuribiad turned his head and asked; This guy is definitely a dog, his ears are not ordinary spirits, and Wang Jun's low self-talk can be heard by him.

"Ahem, do I have to speak...... Wang Jun directly pretended to be stupid, Yuri Biad belongs to the kind of person who breaks the casserole and asks to the end, how hard it is to explain this thing!

Watching the reinforcement fleet enter the bay at high speed with full sails, Alahasia felt that the battle should be over soon, and was about to turn around and return to the cabin, but the reinforcement fleet, which was still in sight, suddenly became a mess; There were no binoculars in this era, and the rear ship covered the front ship, so Arakasia could only vaguely see the battleship at the tail of the line as if it had crashed into the front row of battleships.

What's going on?

After a few spins of his head, Ala Hexia finally realized that something was wrong with his orders, and he was annoyed.

Thousands of large warships besieged hundreds of small warships, which was originally an interesting story of cats and mice, but it turned out that stealing chickens was not the result but was pecked in the eye!

"Retreat, give me all the retreat!" The roar of Alahasia spread throughout its flagship.

The order to retreat was conveyed by the soldiers to the fleet in confusion ahead, by all means; The Egyptian fleet also received an order to withdraw the entire fleet from the straits.

The Egyptian fleet carried out this order quite efficiently, much more quickly than the offensive order; The Egyptian warships, which were engaged in a struggle with the Corinthian fleet at the western entrance of Salami Bay, immediately ceased attacking the Corinthian fleet, which had suffered heavy losses, and turned around and sailed out of the western mouth of the bay; 70 warships went in front and back, and 60 came out.

At this time, the Corinthian fleet, which was fighting with all its might, had only 15 warships left; Being able to hold on for so long is one reason why the ship is small and flexible, and the way the Egyptians fought is another. The Egyptians were only brought in by the Persians to make soy sauce, and they fought very carefully, and they did not rush to the top because of their large numbers; When the two sides were fighting, even if there were many opportunities to expand the results of the battle, the Egyptian warships would never rush forward, and they fought steadily and slowly, and the Corinthian warships were slowly consumed. Compared with the situation of the Persian fleet at the eastern end of the bay, the Egyptian warships were few and had a lot of room for maneuver, and the advantages of the flexibility and speed of the Corinthian warships were largely neutralized; In addition, the difference in numbers caused the Corinthian battleships to face more than two enemy ships at the same time, so the two sides suffered damage to each other; Comparatively speaking, Corinth suffered.

The Persian warships, crowded at the eastern end of the bay, were in trouble, and for them it was not easy to retreat.

The reinforcement fleet was a little better, the last row of battleships slowly broke away from the front team, and then slowly turned around and began to retreat; It took a long time to withdraw from the last row, and after that, the penultimate row of battleships began to slowly ...... Slowly......; Of course, the battleships that can turn around and retreat do not include those that were smashed by their own people.

The forward fleet cried, and the roads of escape were piled with their own warships, and there was nowhere to run; From time to time, crazy Greek warships appeared on both sides of the battleship, working very hard to give free holes in the abdomen of each Persian battleship; Some of the stranded Persian warships were picked up by the Greeks and boarded, and the Persian soldiers on board were driven into the sea one by one by the Greeks who had been beaten with chicken blood.

The remnant sun is like blood, and the blood is waves.

In the evening, the battle in Salami Bay finally came to an end.

The microwave bay was filled with fragments of broken warships; The corpses of Persian soldiers of various shapes rose and fell with the waves.

The Persian warships that were able to withdraw from the eastern mouth of the bay were withdrawn to the vicinity of the mother fleet; Most of the Persian warships that could not be withdrawn from the eastern mouth of the bay were swallowed up by the bay, and the rest were captured by the Greek fleet. 190 Persian warships and 10 Egyptian warships, destroyed by the combined Greek fleet; 50 Persian warships, which became the trophies of the Greeks.

The Greek combined fleet, which won a great victory, lost 83 warships, 302 remained, plus 50 Persian warships captured, basically no major problems, and the vitality was still there; Themistocles restrained the fleet in time and prevented it from going out of the bay to pursue, and the whole army retreated into the bay.

Arahasia, the commander of the Persian navy, could not believe that he would suffer such a crushing defeat; He stood at the bow of the ship for a long time, looking at the quiet bay ahead, motionless.

In this battle, the Persian navy suffered a major blow, and the battle damage reached the level of broken tendons and bones; 190 Egyptian warships and 560 Persian warships, it seems that the scale is still huge, but in fact it has shrunk by more than 2%.

If the Greek navy took advantage of the victory and chased it out of the bay, the Persian navy definitely had the possibility of turning the tables, but the Greeks were so cautious that Alahasia had no chance; Eventually, Ala Hexia gave the order in pain, and the whole army retreated.

Time slipped by, and night gradually covered the land.

Madonhos woke up slowly, looking around in a daze, Wo Cha!

Isn't this the shore of the marathon?

A full moon hung high in the sky, and the white moonlight covered the Aegean coast; In Madonios' sight, piles of Persian soldiers sat scattered along the coast, and nearby were his own personal guards, all of whom looked embarrassed and demoralized.

"Hey......" Looking at the concerned eyes of the guards general beside him, Madonhos couldn't bear to blame, but just sighed.

Defeated, he was again defeated by the Greeks.

Half a day back, the location is back to the northern suburbs of Athens.

The Greek forward phalanx is like a super steamroller, slowly but surely rolling forward; The red-eyed Persian Second Infantry Phalanx had a significantly higher combat power than the First Infantry Phalanx, which was cannon fodder; Fighters continued to fall on both sides, and the Greek forward phalanx composed of Spartan militia and several city-states, whether it was battle formation coordination or average physical fitness, was still a long way from the Spartan Royal Guard.

In fact, after the defeat of the first Persian phalanx, the combat power of the Greek forward phalanx decreased; Now, these non-professional Greek warriors are completely relying on the momentum of their previous victories. Madonios's elite infantry was mainly concentrated in the third and second phalanxes, because the original plan was destroyed by the Greek army, and the soldiers of the second Persian phalanx had to choose to fight the Greek forward phalanx; The difference in weaponry and the restraint in the battle formation led to the fact that the Persian soldiers were much more attritional than the Greek warriors.

When the strength of the Greek forward phalanx was about to be exhausted, the Persian second infantry phalanx of 60,000 men was finally defeated; The seemingly invincible phalanx of Greek infantry is too demanding on the physical fitness of the warriors, and it is difficult for them to persist in long-term high-intensity battles if they are not professional warriors.

By the time the two sides had fought so far, the Persian army had lost two infantry phalanxes and only more than 40,000 cavalry troops; On the side of the Greek coalition, the forward phalanx lost more than 10,000 soldiers, and the remaining more than 20,000 Spartan militia and more than 10,000 soldiers from other city-states did not have the strength to fight again.

"Forward phalanx, retreat!" Leonidas roared and gave the order, it was time for him, the true warriors, to appear.

"Forward phalanx, retreat!" Countless roars followed.

The Greek forward phalanx quickly disintegrated, and the warriors who had exhausted their physical strength turned around and ran, and the huge gap between the small phalanx of thousands of people and the small phalanx of thousands of people was enough for tens of thousands of soldiers to pass quickly; The two wings, consisting of 20,000 Spartan Wehrmacht and 20,000 Spartan militia, had long since slaughtered the Persian cavalry and were now waiting for replacements.

43 rhinoceros knights raised their heads, and warriors of various Persian subjects in different costumes, holding various weapons, rushed desperately towards the Greeks who were regrouping; When counted, these miscellaneous troops also have a scale of about 60,000.

In addition to these 43 rhinoceros knights, the other soldiers were not as effective as the vanished Persian first infantry phalanx, and the opponents in front of them were the essence of the Greek army; On the three-kilometer front, 10,000 Spartan Royal Guards, 30,000 Spartan Wehrmacht, 20,000 Spartan militia, they replaced the previous forward phalanx.

The 43 rhino knights looked very imposing, but they faced the Spartans, and the scene at Thermopylae was played out again; With just 43 spears, the Spartan Royal Guard soldiers crucified 43 rhinos in the way of the charge; There is no scientific or unscientific statement, anyway, the rules of this world are like this, the pure Spartan warrior is a macho man who has beaten chicken blood.

In the face of the attack of the motley Persian army, the Spartan royal guard, which had reached the level of 5 people, appeared very relaxed, holding up the shield, opening the shield, and stabbing the stab, and the movements were simple and smooth; And the 30,000 Spartan Wehrmacht soldiers, although their movements are not as artistic as the royal guard soldiers, the killing actions are still uniform, and they are still better than the non-professional soldiers of those city-states.

As for the 20,000 Spartan militiamen, they behaved with extraordinary ferocity; The reason is simple, most of the forward phalanx who retreated to rest were Spartan militiamen like them. According to the current Spartan law, those buddies have all had military exploits, the status of slaves has been eliminated, and they have successfully obtained the status of commoners; The reward of becoming a Spartan commoner from a helot, never having to suffer again, is more attractive than anything else.

60,000 miscellaneous cannon fodder, in front of the same number of Spartan phalanxes, were quickly and completely emptied; Leaving no one alive is Leonidas' favorite battle order.

Looking at the approaching Spartan phalanx, Madonios drew his scimitar, the 60,000-strong Persian third infantry phalanx was in front, Madonios led the personal guards behind, and the remaining troops were all pressed; As the commander of the Persian Western Expeditionary Army, Madonios had a 5,000-strong personal guard army, which belonged to the elite of the Persian army, of course, compared to the emperor's undead army, the personal guard army was not enough.

The tragic battle of the curtain is going on at a fast pace in the northern suburbs of Athens; Unlike the slowness of naval warfare, large-scale ground battles involve hundreds or thousands of people dying every second.

Madonhos, who was determined to die, already knew the end, but did not see it with his own eyes.

How could the Spartan phalanx, dominated by the royal guards, be matched by the same number and inferior Persian infantry?

Seeing that the Persian infantry in front of him was slaughtered in pieces, the general of the personal guard immediately found an opportunity to stun Madonios, and led him all the way to the place where the Persian army had landed, the coast of Marathon.

The hundreds of thousands of Persian troops disappeared before the Greeks could be in full swing.
