Chapter Forty-Eight: The Undead Army in the Night Battle (Part II)
Taking advantage of the night, Wang Jun quietly took out another Roman short sword from the spatial ring; The enemy plays double swords, and the king army plays double swords.
After killing the berserk giant Naha, the ordinary soldiers of the undead army on the opposite side are a lot inferior to the king's army in terms of strength, agility, or physique; Wang Jun, who was almost scared to death before, finally let go of his hands and feet, and really showed all his strength for the first time.
Ignoring how Leonidas and the others formed a battle array, the king's army brandished his twin swords and slew at the undead army; Eighteen Roman hoplites followed closely behind the king's army.
The general of the second battalion of the undead army had no chance to block the short sword as light as the wind, and when the two sides made a mistake, they fell unwillingly, and their necks were almost broken in two.
The twin swords flew over, and Wang Jun rolled up all the way to blood; The 18 hoplites then formed a conical battle formation and plunged deep into the ranks of the undead army.
Leonidas saw that his blood was boiling, and the Spartan phalanx pressed with all his might; Shield strikes, shield opening, spear out, a dry of Spartan warriors skillfully use simple and efficient killing techniques, with an irresistible momentum, crushed through.
By this time in the battle, Leonidas had already had to order the Arcadians to launch a surprise attack to address the pressure on the Spartan warriors; Now, because of the outbreak of the Wang Army, in the original plot, the giant man who almost killed Leonidas was dismembered by the Wang Army, and the Wang Army also messed up the formation of the second echelon of the Undead Army. Therefore, Leonidas saw the opportunity and cooperated with the king's army to cover up the past; Leonidas understood that tonight's opponent was the most powerful army at the hands of the Persian emperor Xerxes; It's rare for Xerxes to make a mistake, so let this army suitable for surprise attacks attack, naturally it can kill some more.
Wang Jun also had this idea, a few more cuts tonight, and in the future, Greece would face less pressure, and Leonidas would be a little safer; If Leonidas had launched a surprise attack at this time, even if he had won, as in the original play, the large number of undead soldiers who had hung far at the end of the line would have fled back to the plain in one fell swoop, and that would have been a failure.
"Boom!"
Chopping and stabbing, the Roman short sword in Wang Jun's hand, which had dismembered the giant, was overwhelmed, and he was finally laid off with honor; A kick flew away from an undead soldier who tried to sneak attack, and a brand-new short sword appeared in his hand; Without roaring or words, Wang Jun stopped his continued charge and turned to deal with the enemy who was trapped by his men.
Of the 18 hoplites, only 12 remained, and 6 fell in the way of the charge; These Roman hoplites were about the same strength as the Spartan warriors, but they were less agile. Even the Spartan warriors fell several times in the melee, and these Roman hoplites followed the royal army into enemy lines, and it was inevitable that a few would be killed; If it weren't for the fact that the leading royal army was too strong, perhaps all these hoplites would have hung up.
Wang Jun's physical strength was still strong enough to kill, but his subordinates were already a little out of strength; Fortunately, the Spartans had advanced behind them, and a simple change in the Spartan phalanx enveloped the king's army and them.
Leonidas himself retreated to the back row of the phalanx, no matter how strong the aura of the pig's foot was, he was still a human body; The fighters who were originally in the last three rows of the phalanx are now all replaced by the first three rows; Alternate combat, endless, this is actually a basic tactical method of the Spartan phalanx, relying on the first row of soldiers to kill from the beginning to the end of the play, even if you really have this physical strength, then you still need the fighters in the back row to dry hair?
On the west side of the battlefield, on a slightly higher hill, Xerxes stood on the top of the hill, looking irritably at the troops piled up on the road beside the hill and unable to advance an inch; Dozens of minutes have passed, and the battle is still stalemate, which seems to be a bit different from his original imagination! Stumped the Spartans is really an unbeatable little powerhouse?
The battlefield advanced meter by meter to the west of the road, and the undead soldiers died one after another; The king's army followed behind the phalanx, with a longbow in hand, throwing arrows one arrow at a time; The height is not enough, Wang Jun relies on spiritual perception, and when he rescues Leonidas, Wang Jun is attacked by mental power, but fortunately, he is injured by physical force, so it is not serious.
The remaining 12 Roman hoplites were not suitable to join the Spartan phalanx, so they were naturally arranged by the royal army to look for the enemy who was not dead to replenish their swords.
"Arcadians!"
Leonidas, who had retreated to the back row again, finally gave the order to ambush the troops; The physical consumption of the fighters is too great, and if they continue to attack like this, the fighters will slow down, and once the movements are slow, the battle formation will not be perfect, and the fighters will pay with their lives.
"Attack!" Leonidas's roar echoed among the cliffs.
"Kill!" The response of the landslide and tsunami seemed to resound throughout the mountain road.
Dassos, with more than a thousand Arcadian warriors, rushed out of the road to the west of the convex cliff; There was no battle formation, no cooperation, and the Arcadian warriors bravely rushed into the ranks of the undead army, slashing and stabbing indiscriminately.
It has to be said that these Arcadian warriors seem to like to roar, and I don't know if this is to give themselves courage, or because it can scare the enemy to death; The undead army, which had been unable to advance for a long time, and the ranks lined up on the mountain road like a long snake, suddenly rushed to pieces. Originally, the middle and rear of the team could not move forward, and they had been standing stupidly on the road and waiting, and the soldiers were slowly losing their state; The slackened army is suddenly attacked violently, and chaos is inevitable, even if it is an undead army.
The Spartans continued to crush westward along the road, and the resistance of the undead army on their backs fell rapidly; The Arcadians were like rough but sharp daggers, stuck in the seven or eight inches of the "long serpent...... n inches; In short, Dassos led a group of amateur fighters and inserted the undead army into the wounds; And the howls of these amateur fighters like Dasos frightened the undead soldiers who were already at a loss.
At this moment, the expression on Xerxes's face was rich, surprised, dazed, angry, hateful, fearful, distorted, and like the changing face of Sichuan opera, cloudy and unpredictable; There is no suspense in the battle in sight, and the undead army that swept through Asia in the past seems to have become an undead dog, running back along the mountain road one by one.
"How, what, what, can!" Xerxes cried out in his heart, and the Spartans shattered his pride; Xerxes's chest rose and fell rapidly, his hands clenched into fists, and his veins were bursting; If he could, Xerxes would have been tempted to rush in front of Leonidas and squash him with a single punch.
Most of the undead soldiers who were able to escape were in the middle and rear of the "Long Snake Formation", while the undead soldiers who were located in the middle and front were divided into more than a dozen; Courage and fighting spirit used to be the pride of the undefeated army, in fact, if they can stick to this pride and continue to fight fearlessly to the end, the loser may be Wang Jun and them. The current Spartan warriors are already at the end of their crossbows, and the Arcadians who launched the raid are actually less powerful than the undead warriors, as long as they carry through the chaotic stage, the next thing is for them to slaughter each other; Pity! The undead army, which has been fighting with the wind, has been defeated and retreated.
On the winding road, blood seeped the ground, a few Spartans or Arcadians, most undead; When the sea breeze blows, the strong smell of blood can directly smoke people.
Xerxes angrily left the mountain, and the sound of killing gradually died down on the distant mountain road; Tonight, the trump card of the Persian Empire, the undead army, put an end to the myth of immortality.
In the pass, piles of bonfires were lit, and the tired Arcadia warriors slowly fell asleep with a triumphant smile; The Kosling warriors took over the guard, and the rest remained until dawn, when perhaps the Persians would not come again.
The king's army leaned against the stone wall outside the pass, silently watching the only 12 Roman soldiers remain; Only when it is lost, people will cherish it.
After the first battle, 6 of his subordinates died, and Wang Jun was a little uncomfortable, although they were only "called".
The Spartan warriors seemed to have inexhaustible energy, and they were tired and almost out of strength before the end of the battle, but the bonfire was a little bit and they were all excited again; Fassbinder and more than 200 Spartan warriors held a bonfire in the middle of the night to celebrate the victory in the battle.
"For our king!" In the glow of the fire, Fassbinder shouted incessantly.
"Warriors who died honorably for us!"
"Who else does Xerxes dare to send?" Not to be outdone, the blonde cool Costalius echoes loudly; This thing hugged left and right, well, there is no female surname in this pass, he hugged Dilius and Astino hard, the three good friends were chest to chest, their backs were sticky, and their faces were full of red light.
Leonidas walked out of the pass silently, looked at Wang Jun, and then raised his head to look at the starry night sky; Strange to say, in the previous battle against the undead army, there was only a big moon hiding behind the clouds and answering shyly, and as soon as the battle was over, the moon was gone, and the stars ran out.
"What will happen tomorrow?" Leonidas broke the silence and asked Wang Jun in a low voice.
"Tomorrow? Tomorrow is the same as today, well, the result is the same. Wang Jun replied lightly; According to the plot, there won't be anything tomorrow, well, Fassbinder will have something, so pay attention to yourself when the time comes, just don't let Astino hang up.
"With your help, I have more confidence to hold the hot spring pass." Leonidas's tone was getting heavier, and the pace of his speech was slowing.
"We're going to win!" Wang Jun felt the need to give the worried king some blood.
"You are a true warrior, and I feel lucky to be able to fight with you!" Leonidas suddenly turned his head and looked at Wang Jun as he said this.
"Hehe,......" Wang Jun smiled, and was about to show some modesty or something......
"Congratulations! The host gains Leonidas's friendship, triggering the covert mission: Unify Greece; Completing the mission will reward the Roman Legion's Eagle Emblem with an upgrade, and if the mission is not completed, the Roman Legion's Eagle Emblem will disappear. ”
The plugin seems to be a little sluggish, but the tone is fairly mild.
"Leonidas, I feel lucky to be fighting with you!" Wang Jun responded to Leonidas, then claimed that he was tired and needed to rest, and hurriedly ended the conversation between the two.
Leaving the following Onidas, Wang Jun ran away to a secluded place; From a distance, Wang Junjun was lying down and resting, but his mind was busy; What for? Find a plug-in and ask for clarification!
didn't get too many "friendly tips", Wang Jun was complained by the plug-in; Because Wang Jun "abused" his spiritual power today, it led to a backlash, and the plug-in suffered greatly. Wang Jun only had a little blood, his head stabbed, and there were no sequelae or anything; The plug-in was miserable, and "her" mental force field was implicated, and there were abnormal fluctuations, which caused the plug-in to be busy suppressing the already very large mental force field. Of course, this so-called "huge" batch is for Wang Jun; The plug-in clearly told Wang Jun that "she" remembered her spiritual force field at the peak, which should be about a thousand times that of now.
The two sides exchanged "cordial and friendly" in Wang Jun's mind for dozens of minutes, and Wang Jun only received one piece of news, and he received a blow with it.
The use of spiritual power, the plug-in vaguely remembers it, seems to have a kind of exercise, or a technique, that can make spiritual power more valuable; Also, this spiritual power must not be directly impacted by such a simple and brutal physical impact, in case something goes wrong, Wang Jun will have the possibility of becoming an idiot.
Wo Cha!
Why is this plugin always an afterthought?
When dealing with the double-headed axe thrown by that giant man tonight, if he hadn't had an idea, adopted the method of changing the direction of the bottom, and gave up the first idea of using spiritual power to intercept it in a positive direction, then wouldn't he be ...... now
It seems that before you understand it, this skill of spiritual power control should be used carefully; The world is big, and the small life is the biggest.
The night gradually passed, and the day came.
The Spartan warriors sat on large rocks in twos and threes, combing themselves very patiently; Combing hair, this is the tradition of Spartan warriors, one thing that will inevitably be done before the big war, Wang Jun has already observed it once yesterday, it is not unusual.
It's just that the scene of these hundreds of "bodybuilders" combing their hair collectively with open breasts really makes Wang Jun from modern times very unaccustomed to it; But the royal army, even the 12 surviving Roman hoplites, gathered together to mutter and despise; A dignified man, what is wrong to do before the battle, he has to do such a ritual as combing his hair more than the actual value.
On the plains west of the pass, clouds of dust were raised, the tranquility of the beach was broken in the early morning, and groups of Persian soldiers were noisy, and today's battle slowly began.
