From the Ancili Plain to the pass, the terrain rises all the way, the road twists and turns, the closer to the plain, the wider it is, there is an anti-S-shaped continuous bend near the pass, the width of the road in this section is different, and some sections are only more than ten meters wide. From west to east, after turning a convex bend, there is a shallow concave bend in front of you, and the pass and the stone wall next to the pass are completely displayed in the line of sight. However, if you want to reach it, you have to go through the shallow concave bend, and from the center of the concave bend, the road gradually widens, and the widest point reaches more than 60 meters at the point where you are about to reach the pass. This is also the reason why the Persians in the movie do not have a lot of numbers every time they attack, and the open space outside the pass can still be equipped with a lot of troops.

Topographically, the convex bend to the west of the pass was also a good defensive position, where the enemy could not even charge, but could only approach at the speed of foot, and the road was only 12 meters wide; The only drawback is that the center of the bend is protruding. The protruding bend, and the shallow concave eastern cliff near the pass, facing the hills on the edge of the Ancili Plain, threatened with bows and arrows, and hiding on the east side of the convex bend would make us invisible to each other before they were about to make contact.

There is one thing that Wang Jun does not understand, why Leonidas can build a thick stone wall by the pass to block the eastbound road along the coast, but do not arrange some stone wall positions at the pass, will it be difficult?

The ground began to shake, and some gravel fell from time to time in the canyon.

"Earthquake?" As a battle-hardened centurion in Sparta, Fassbender actually asked a question that only a rookie egg could ask.

"No, centurion; Array March. Leonidas looked at this subordinate with a face full of vicissitudes, and his heart was a little heavy, there were too many enemies.

Wang Jun glanced at Fassbender with disdain, what did this thing rely on to become a centurion? Is it just by the technique of chopping people?

Speaking of which, this is to blame on director Schneider, in order to reflect Leonidas's excellence, wisdom, and greatness, and there are no other tricks that are too good, he can only sacrifice the tragic centurion.

"Wang Jun, you can't stand in my team." Leonidas was in formation, and the king's army was ruthlessly driven out, and not only that, but the troops of the other Greek city-states were told to stay behind the Spartans and wait; Thousands of men and horses were just crammed into the narrow valley road, and the warriors assigned to the last few city-states simply lay on the ground basking in the sun, purely playing soy sauce.

Wang Jun is not happy, in this case, wouldn't he have no points to get?

Unfortunately, he could only summon 18 hoplites, and if there were so many hundred, Wang Jun would also consider going to the convex bend in front of the pass to snipe at the Persians; Now, you have to think of a way, otherwise you will be arranged to bask in the sun behind the slender canyon, and Wang Jun will have the heart to die.

The king's army, with 18 Roman hoplites, turned right out of the pass, and climbed the stone wall in cooperation with each other; The stone wall is 5 meters high, 5 meters thick, and 10 meters wide, don't look at Wang Jun, it doesn't seem difficult for them to climb up now, but in fact, it is difficult for a person to climb with his bare hands, and it is even more inconvenient to climb if he is in battle.

Leonidas watched as the king's army stood on the stone wall with a longbow about the same height, silent; In his opinion, as long as the royal army will not affect the play of the Spartan phalanx, and it seems that this can still attract the enemy's firepower, so he can do whatever he likes.

The earth shook stronger and stronger, and small stones falling from the mountain wall began to jump on the ground, and enemies began to appear in everyone's field of vision.

Xerxes saw that Slowe, whom he had sent to persuade him to surrender, came back with his crippled right hand in his arms, and his anger was full of smoke; In a fit of rage, he "rewarded" Slow with 18 lashes, demoted him three levels and transferred him to the logistics department; He then ordered the Medes and Thracians to form a combined force and send a Persian general to lead the pass.

The commander of the coalition was the Persians, and the two deputy commanders were the Thracians and the Medes; The Medes wore colorful gowns and were armed with swords and spears; while the Thracians wore bright red cloaks and were armed with javelins and small shields; The whole army of more than 15,000 people, infantry in the front, cavalry in the rear, the pace of the march was barely neat, and the road leading to the pass was crowded.

"We're stopping them right here!"

"We're here to resist them!"

"We're here to destroy them!" Seeing the dense enemy approaching, Leonidas began to give hundreds of his men a beating.

"Kids! Let them die under the shield! Fassbinder responded positively to Leonidas and encouraged his subordinates; This performance is in line with the centurion's identity.

"Whew!" The 298 Spartan warriors shouted in unison, and their morale was high; With a dozen chicken blood, the combat power soars.

……

Standing on the high stone wall, Wang Jun looked faintly at the swarming enemies; Sometimes, a lot of people doesn't solve the problem, such as in this occasion. Looking at the Persian team less than a hundred meters away, suddenly giving way to a passage, and a general on horseback rode out slowly, Wang Jun smiled; It's monster hunting time! Draw arrows, sideways, and tie strings.

Riding out was the deputy commander of the mixed team, a Thracian; He looked at the small Spartan phalanx at the pass suspiciously, and then at the royal army standing on the stone wall to the left of the pass, and at the two rows of tall Roman infantry behind the royal army; The deputy commander wondered, could it be that the Spartans began to wear armor?

The king's army was heavily armed, and the blood-red mane on the covered helmet fluttered in the wind; In terms of the style of the helmet, there is not much difference between Wang Jun's and Leonidas's, except that the texture of Wang Jun's is iron, while Leonidas's is bronze. The obvious difference in appearance is the color of the mane that stands up at the top of the helmet, Wang Jun's is blood red, and Leonidas' is black.

Obviously, there was some misunderstanding on the part of the Thracian general, but this did not prevent him from speaking.

"Spartans, lay down your weapons!"

Near the quiet pass, the roar of the Thracian general echoed.

"Just waiting for you to finish the opening remarks!" Wang Jun muttered in his heart, and his hand immediately moved; Open the bow, aim, and release the string without dragging the mud and water.

The Thracian general, who had been keeping an eye on Wang Jun, knew that the situation was not good when Wang Jun suddenly raised his bow, but it was obvious that he could not react as fast as Wang Jun. At the moment when his pupils shrank, the sharp arrow that shot quickly had pierced his right chest; The feather of the arrow trembled and stopped at the wound on the right chest, and the body of the arrow was fifty centimeters long when it pierced the back; Heavy arrows of huge habitual surnames led the Thracian general from the horse's hips to the top.

At this time, the single-edged short sword thrown from the Spartan phalanx rolled down from the sky, and with a "poof", it was directly inserted into the empty horse's back; The war horse neighed and scurried around in severe pain, and after seriously injuring several Thracian soldiers, it fell off the cliff.

On the stone wall, Wang Jun grinned silently; Sorry, robbed the Spartans of the "weird".

Starlius was very depressed, and the short sword he threw out was expected to bring down the Persian leader in front of him, and the whole thing got off to a good start; Unexpectedly, I was robbed by the sharp arrow shot from the right side of the mountain wall! When I turned around, I had to compare with the Roman called Wang Jun, and actually robbed myself of my own military exploits!

Leonidas, who was at the forefront of the phalanx, didn't have any ideas, whether the king killed him, or Starius, he just killed an enemy general; Although this can give the fighters a little more chicken blood, it does not actually affect the entire battle situation.

"Take it yourself!" Watching the enemy general fall to the ground, Leonidas yelled at the enemy.

"Whew!" The sound of the Persian trumpets echoed among the mountain walls, startling flocks of seabirds.

The Thracian and Median soldiers began a short sprint and looked very brave; They did not in the slightest believe that the Spartans would be able to withstand their massive army by virtue of their geographical advantages alone.

Although Wang Jun stood on the stone wall with great gust and kept shooting, it seemed that most of the enemies were not interested in him, and only some Thracian soldiers comforted Wang Jun a few times with javelins; Wang Jun felt very unhappy psychologically, his goal was so obvious, but most of the enemies still went towards the Spartans, could it be said that pig's feet are pig's feet?

To be precise, the enemy's interest in Wang Jun was actually very great; Anyone who looks at it at a glance can understand that the "Spartan" standing in the front row of the stone wall is a big boss just from the outfit; Killing the leader of the Spartans is much more meritorious than killing the soldiers, but how to get up to the 5-meter-high stone wall is a big problem. As a result, after comparing the left and right, most of the enemies obviously thought that it was more reliable to attack the Spartan phalanx arrayed in the pass, and there were not many people in the phalanx, and they could still cut it.

The Thracians were equipped with small shields, so it was their men who rushed to the forefront, and the crowd soon slapped on the Spartan phalanx, wave after wave of people, pressing the Spartan phalanx to retreat step by step into the canyon.

On the side of the stone wall, only some of the so-called enemies communicated "cordially" with Wang Jun, but in fact there were not many people, after all, the base of this group of enemies was there; At least 300 Thracians rushed to the tall stone wall, and as soon as dozens of people reached the bottom of the stone wall, they began to climb the ladder, while the rest greeted Wang Jun enthusiastically with their javelins in their hands.

The Medes, armed only with short swords and spears, had no better way to deal with the royal army on the stone wall than the Thracians, so they simply followed the Thracians with small shields and killed Leonidas and them.

The brilliance of the pig's feet is still strong, and the Thracians did not use javelins against the Spartans, which is simply a kind of discrimination; They only used small shields to resist the large shields of the Spartans, and the two sides were desperately competing to see who had the most strength.

"Do your best to resist!"

"Push! Push! "Leonidas was constantly boosting morale, there were too many enemies swarming, and the pressure from the shield was increasing.

"Ahh Starlius screamed, and one of the enemy made a cut in his arm with a javelin, which was so sad; Not only did he not grab the start, but the enemy made a good start on him! You know, Starlius is in the second row of the Spartan phalanx, and the brothers in the first row are all fine, and this luck is simply overwhelming.

"I'll plug it!" Starlius was able to suffer this great loss, and immediately raised his spear in his hand, crossed the edge of the round shield of his brother in the front row, and stabbed one of his enemies in the chest; Depend on! Now the psychology is balanced.

"Ready!" Sensing the pressure from the shield stabilize, Leonidas loudly reminded his men.

The Spartan warrior in the front row immediately lowered his center of gravity, straightened his right leg, and firmly stuck it on the ground; The phalanx stopped pushing back in an instant, and like a reef, it withstood the surging crowd.

The Spartan warriors in the front row opened their shields forward with all their strength, flipped back a step back from the crowd in front, raised their spears and inserted them, and for a time the Thracians and Medes in the front row panicked; The little thin-skinned shield could not hold back the sharp spears of the Spartans, and their own short swords and spears could not reach the Spartans; To add insult to injury, because there were too many people on his side, there was no space for him to dodge on the left, right and rear, so he could only stupidly watch his chest and abdomen being pierced by a spear.

Raising shields, opening shields, and stabbing at the Spartan phalanx, the Spartan phalanx repeated simple and efficient actions wave by wave, continuing to kill every enemy that appeared in front of them; The battle line moved forward step by step, and the phalanx, which was originally less than ten people per platoon, gradually expanded, and with the opening of the terrain, the soldiers in the rear continued to fill the gaps in the front row, the phalanx became wider and wider, and the efficiency of killing became higher and higher; The phalanx stepped on, and the ground was full of enemies, and at the rear of the phalanx, some Spartan warriors gave priority to cleaning up those enemies who had the strength to resist after being trampled on dozens of feet.

Compared to Leonidas's strength, Wang Jun's side was completely dexterous.

In addition to killing the Thracian generals at the beginning, Wang Jun also easily harvested the surnames of four enemies with a longbow, and then, under the attack of more than 100 javelins, Wang Jun could only hide behind two rows of hoplites; The 18 square shields with a height of 1.2 meters and a width of 0.8 meters protected the royal army and 18 hoplites.

Puzzledly, the Thracian soldiers had only one javelin in their hands, and when they threw it, they could only use another standard weapon, the short sword. Fortunately, Wang Jun and his subordinates were able to start to stay leisurely on the 5-meter-high stone wall, slowly slashing at the enemies who dared to climb up. Soon, the enemies who had their sights on the king's army found that if they continued to do so, they gave up their attacks and planned to join the attack on Leonidas; The enemy gave up, but there was nowhere to run, so Wang Jun was happy, standing on the high stone wall and looking down at the enemy, killing arrows one by one.

As the Spartan phalanx advance pressed forward from the pass, the enemy beneath the stone wall was quickly emptied by the Spartan warriors; Wang Jun watched as the Spartan warriors harvested the enemy, desperately speeding up his shots.

The bearded old handsome guy went on a rampage all the way, staging gorgeous spikes again and again; Like Leonidas, who shot 500cc of chicken blood, he must kill one person every three steps, and every blow is full of artistic atmosphere; Killing people to this level of demon gods, Wang Jun has never seen it. secretly compared Maximus in "Gladiator", and found that Maximus, who was out of breath after cutting a few people, is now on the stage to slash Leonida, and it is estimated that he was also killed in seconds.

"It's not scientific!" Wang Jun shouted in his heart, could it be that Leonidas also has an artifact like a plug-in?
