In the Battle of Guyangdao, Xerxes sent 13,000 troops were completely annihilated, and the Greek coalition army took advantage of the territory, and the Spartans joined in time during the decisive battle, and finally only paid the price of about 1,200 men.

In Wang Jun's opinion, such a result was obviously very good, and of course, the Spartans, who were as fierce as chicken's blood, were the decisive factor in victory.

Of course, in this era of roaring for communication and horses for transportation, Xerxes didn't know now that the army he had sent had been given to Muohwo.

After dawn, Xerxes had breakfast slowly, then walked up to the high tower, and personally drove to the hot spring pass with 2,000 undead troops and 10,000 Persian soldiers; In his mind, Leonidas, a proud fellow, had lost his geographical advantage and was blocked by more than 20,000 Persian troops in front and behind, and he must have been unable to fly.

Regardless of the bloody atmosphere on the battlefield, this road by the mountains and the sea actually has a good scenery; No matter what the slaves carrying the giant tower thought, Xerxes himself was in a good mood anyway; If Leonidas gets acquainted with him for a while, Xerxes plans to be magnanimous for a while, and it is also possible to consider adopting him as a junior brother and supporting him as the boss of the whole of Greece.

Walking from the Ancily Plain to the pass, in fact, it is not very far; In less than half an hour, Xerxes, who was sitting in a wide and comfortable seat, swept his eyes, and the situation at the pass was clear at a glance.

The vanguard of the army, having taken control of the stone wall and the narrow pass, but ......

Where did the Spartans, who claimed to not give up an inch of land, go?

On the top of the mountain on both sides of the plan, inside the pass, where are the Odawa who should appear at this time?

Xerxes stood up, looking at everything in front of him suspiciously, his falcon-like gaze glancing around; When his gaze swept over the pass again, Xerxes's pupils instantly shrank to the size of a pinhole.

The scarlet cloak fluttered in the wind, and the straight figure was like a javelin; A heavily armed warrior, standing at the top of a cliff on the right side of the pass, was looking at Xerxes coldly.

Wang Jun slowly took out a heavy arrow and put it on the string, and a strong murderous aura spread in all directions.

For the time being, the person who threatened Leonidas' life was Xerxes; The main mission of the royal army is to protect Leonidas. Two days earlier, when Wang Jun had accompanied Leonidas to Xerxes, he had the idea of killing Xerxes; At that time, the two sides were negotiating, and it didn't seem appropriate to do it at that time.

The royal army gains the friendship of Leonidas, triggering the mission to unify Greece; To unify Greece, the first thing to do is to get the Persians out of the way, kill Xerxes, and maybe let the Persian army retreat.

After thinking about it, Wang Jun decided to hunt Xerxes.

For this reason, as soon as the Battle of Guyangdao was over, the royal army handed over the hoplites to Leonidas for temporary command, and rushed alone to the top of the cliff of the pass; It's not that Wang Jun doesn't want to bring more people, but the distance is a bit far, and only by virtue of his superhuman physique and agility can he rush to the ambush position in a limited time.

In the known plot, Xerxes will appear near the pass, and the rest of the plot will not be known to Wang Jun; In other words, if Wang Jun misses this good opportunity, then he doesn't know when a better opportunity will start.

Nearly 1 meter long arrow feather, flying in the golden sunlight; The terrifying elasticity of the special longbow, combined with the difference in altitude, allowed the heavy arrow to reach a speed of 180 meters per second. The straight-line distance between Xerxes and Wang Jun is less than 100 meters, and as long as 0.5 seconds, a heavy arrow can be inserted into the socket of Xerxes's right eye; Wang Jun's original hobby was to shoot at other people's throats, but Xerxes is a "local tyrant", and he wears several thick collars around his neck, and there are almost no gaps, so it is really difficult to start.

In the eyes of many Persian soldiers, the heavy arrows shot from the cliffs disappeared in a flash; "Doo!" , a heavy arrow stuck in a fan-shaped screen behind Xerxes; More than ten centimeters into the wood, you can see the great strength; On the white tail feathers, there are still a few blood beads.

At the same time that the king released the bowstring, Xerxes magically shook his head, and luckily dodged the arrow that sealed his throat; Escaping death, but not injury, the edge of his right face was plowed into a groove of blood by a sharp conical arrowhead.

"Isn't it?" Wang Jun continued to draw his bow and shoot arrows, and he couldn't help but think of the spear thrown by Leonidas in the original plot; Similar to the current scene, the spear was bizarrely dodged by Xerxes, only opening a blood groove in his face.

However, Leonidas had only one spear, and only one chance to do it; As for Wang Jun, in the space ring on the finger of his left hand, in addition to RMB, Hong Kong dollars, cigarettes, etc., there are more weapons; As for the number of heavy arrows and flying arrows, they have reached the six-figure level of inventory.

In just a few seconds, Wang Jun shot a total of three heavy arrows.

The tall tower made Xerxes, who was originally the size of a giant, as conspicuous as a firefly in the night; In addition to the first miss, the two arrows that Wang Jun fired later hit Xerxes accurately.

the second arrow, stuck in Xerxes' left chest; The third arrow was inserted into Xerxes' left eye socket.

Pass, silence.

Xerxes slumped into the wide seat, his body fixed to the back of a thick wooden gold-painted chair with two arrow feathers, motionless; Blood gushed from the wound, snaked down the strong, ** body, and piled up on the waistband of the metal carved briefs; Xerxes's intact right eye burst out, his pupils dilated, and his dream of unifying the world came to an end.

After a while, several court attendants who reacted rushed to the tower like mad dogs, trying to rescue Xerxes; Among the Persian army in the area of the pass, there were more than a thousand archers, and they were in a hurry, shooting one by one at the top of the high cliffs.

For a time, the Persian army was in chaos, the generals cursed loudly, and the soldiers were at a loss; Of the more than a thousand bows and arrows shot in the hurry, only a hundred or so of them fell weakly to the top of the cliff, and more, after close contact with the mountain wall, turned to fall to the Persian army under the cliff.

Not to mention whether the more than 100 arrows that could not penetrate Lu Min were lethal, after succeeding, Wang Jun immediately slipped away, and the top of the cliff was already empty.

As soon as several Persian generals met, they immediately reached a consensus to withdraw to the large battalion; The desolate and long Persian horn sounded, and more than 10,000 Persians slowly withdrew to the Ancili Plain to the west.

"What! You killed Xerxes? Leonidas and other muscular men watched Wang Jun with disbelief on their faces.

"Do you think it's easy? I used three arrows! Wang Jun calmly stretched out three fingers, despising this group of muscular and dull brain guys.

No one doubts Wang Jun's archery; But in the absence of witnesses, except for Leonidas, the rest of the people are still suspicious of this bombshell news.

After some tumultuous discussion, each city-state sent a representative to form a seven-man reconnaissance team and made its way north along the long canyon; The rest of the people, at the intersection of the ancient sheep road and the canyon, set up defenses; Although the terrain here is far less defensible than the pass, it is still barely enough, of course, there is an important reason, there is absolutely no danger of being copied here. Since the war with the Persians, each city-state has lost a lot of warriors, and now the entire Greek coalition has only 4,083 men, including the royal army and his 12 Roman hoplites.

In the evening, a seven-man reconnaissance team returned, raided a Persian patrol, captured several prisoners, and confirmed the news that Xerxes had been killed by the king's army; Now the Persian army was all in retreat on the plain of Ancili, heavily guarded, and from the afternoon some of the troops boarded ships in batches and left the bay.

Piles of bonfires are lit, and smiling faces are displayed.

"We've won!"

"Victory!"

At this moment, there was no distinction between the city-states, and all the warriors began to cheer; The loudest and most cheerful were the Arcadian warriors led by Dassos.

"You say, will the Persians go straight to Athens from the sea?" Leonidas was happy, but he was still a little worried.

Ten years earlier, the Persians had landed at Marathon, northeast of Athens, and had nearly threatened the city of Athens; Now that their new emperor, Xerxes, has attempted revenge and taken his own surname, it is difficult to say what the enraged Persian army will do next.

They may return to Persia at once until the next Persian emperor has consolidated his position and launched another war to invade Greece;

There is also a possibility that in order to retaliate, the Persian army took advantage of the huge army and went directly to Athens by sea; You must know that there are many suitable landing sites in the three directions of Athens, southeast and west.

"Whatever the case, we need to get back to Sparta as soon as possible." Wang Jun did not start a discussion about the possible surnames, but gave the results directly.

"But if we leave, the Persians may drive along the gorge." Leonidas was a little tangled.

"The gates of the hot springs were opened, and the Phersy and Sesbians bore the brunt, then the Thebans, then the Athenians; Strictly speaking, the Spartans were far from Thermopylae, but you came with warriors, saying it was for the whole of Greece, when in fact you were guarding the gates for the city-states of Phosh, Sesby, Thebes, and Athens. "In order to convince Leonidas, Wang Jun was bitter.

"We leave now, leaving behind the Phers, Sesby, and Thebes, who will fight even more desperately than they do now, for in the rear is their city; And the Athenians, when the Persians entered Thebes, they would also send people. "As for the calculation between these small city-states, Wang Jun can see it very clearly.

"I understand that, but ......," Leonidas' voice floated.

Seeing that Leonidas was still there with his mother-in-law, Wang Jun sighed and lowered his head to stir the bonfire.

Leonidas was a man with a strong sense of responsibility, not only to his own people, but also to his friends; However, Wang Jun knows too much about friendly countries, such as the friendly relationship with a certain island country in reality, which is obviously pure.

"The Delian League, huh? You're taking care of this. Hehe, Athens is strong and the main advocate of this alliance, do they have a warrior here now? Wang Jun broke the silence and continued to convince Leonidas.

"They have a precept of moderation......," Leonidas suddenly felt that he could not convince himself; What's the festival? What rhythm? That's all excuses; Didn't he just violate the rhythm and bring hundreds of warriors to the hot springs pass for a "walk"; There are other city-state warriors, aren't they all violating the precepts?

"Don't forget, there are still traitors in Sparta......," Wang Jun pointed out; This Leonidas, what's the point of staying here to help others guard the door if he doesn't run back to consolidate his power quickly?

The so-called agreement on the peaceful coexistence of the Delian League against Persia was, in the eyes of Wang Jun, nothing more than a piece of paper; In fact, in less than 50 years, Sparta, will face the threat of the Athenians, this is history.

Eventually, under the pretext that the Persians might land at Ismya, Leonidas took all the surviving warriors from the Peloponnese; 285 Spartan warriors, 900 Spartan "black laborers", 353 Corinthian warriors, 732 Arcadian warriors, plus 13 of the king's army, a total of 2,283 people, set off overnight and went straight to the southwest.

As Wang Jun expected, 650 Phoshi warriors, 180 Theban warriors, 80 Macedonian warriors, 890 Sesby warriors, a total of 1,800 warriors, all chose to stay here and be on guard; On the one hand, the rear is its own city-state, and there is no way to retreat; On the other hand, these warriors agreed that now that the emperor of the Persians is dead, the Persian army will retire and return home. For the Macedonian warriors, who lost their homeland and were able to fight the Persians, it was the same there.

However, at Leonidas's suggestion, Gael and others, in addition to the Macedonians, sent messengers to their respective city-states.

The messenger can report the good news of the defeat of the Persian emperor, and can also bring some reinforcements by the way; In case the Persians want to retaliate, this place will be defended by more men; As for the other possibility, the Persians landed from Athens or Ismia or something, this is not their concern, and they are not fighting their own cities anyway.

Of course, if that were the case, the Gaels would have preferred the Persians to land in Athens than to go to Ismea; The Athenians did not send even a single warrior to help, and said that they were the most-nosed city-state in Greece; And Leonidas, who was far away from the hot springs, came to fight bloodily for several days, and the Persian Emperor Yanjing hung up, this is what the boss looks like!

At the same time, in the Persian camp on the plain of Ancili, the commander of the Persian army, Madonios, was looking at the corpse of Xerxes in anger.

Madonios was Xerxes' brother-in-law and commander of the Persian army that landed in Marathon ten years earlier; failed to live up to the expectations of his father-in-law, the old emperor Darius I, and this time he lost the life of his brother-in-law, the new emperor Xerxes.

This is definitely a great shame for Madonios, who has opened up countless territories for the Persian Empire!

Battle of Marathon, the Athenians did it!

The Battle of Thermopylae, the Spartans did it!

"I will never let you go!" The roar of Madonhos resounded throughout the Ancili Plain.
