After running north along the ridge for a while, feeling that the terrain in this area was okay, Wang Ju took out the Legion Eagle Emblem and summoned him; After a white glow, 18 Roman hoplites with a height of 1.93 meters and muscular pimples appeared on the hillside in full armor. All the hoplites were modeled after the captain of the royal guard, Hogue, who was a Roman soldier of Spanish nationality, far exceeding the height of a normal Spanish Roman soldier; The 18 soldiers are exactly the same in stature, and their bodies are also the same, but there are some differences in appearance.

These summoned soldiers behaved no differently from the other Roman soldiers in Gladiator, calling the royal army commanders; According to the plug-in, Wang Jun's summoning base in the same world is fixed, based on Wang Jun's physique and surname. Now the surname of Wang Jun's physique is 18, so the maximum number of soldiers summoned is 18; If these soldiers die in battle in this world, the king army will not be able to summon them here again unless they return to reality or change to another world.

Putting on his general's helmet, Wang Jun took the soldiers to find a path down the canyon, and went directly to the bottom of the canyon, just in front of Leonidas, who was marching from south to north.

"Who are you?" Leonidas, with his beard on his face, looked at Wang Jun solemnly; Although he was the shortest of Wang Jun's group, the red-maned covered helmet betrayed Wang Jun deeply.

In front of Leonidas were five Spartan warriors half-crouched in a shield formation, and behind them were long spears; It's a cramped place, with only five people abreast, and people in the back can't see the front at all.

The heavy soldiers of the Wang army did not show weakness, 5 soldiers stood in front of the Wang army with square shields, and the heavy javelins pointed directly at the other side; The other 13 soldiers were lined up in three rows behind Wang Jun, and the middle two rows were four people in a row, leaving a gap for Wang Jun to retreat; The last row of soldiers turned their backs to the line, monitoring the deserted northern end of the canyon.

"Lay down your arms, they are not enemies!" Wang Jun ordered in a deep voice, there can be no oolong incident that goes off the rails; This damn plugin doesn't schedule a proper appearance time! Don't give a proper identity! In his heart, Wang Jun scolded the plug-in fiercely.

The Roman soldiers immediately stopped pointing their weapons at the Spartans, but remained vigilant; Wang Jun motioned for the soldiers standing in front of him to get out of the way, and then walked alone to the Spartans.

"I, the king's army, from Rome in the west, intend to join you in resisting the Persian invasion." Wang Jun looked at Leonidas, who also walked out of the queue, and said loudly, Wang Jun's voice echoed in the canyon.

"Romans?" Leonidas looked at the royal army suspiciously, the Romans and the Greeks did not have a friendly relationship.

"I've heard that Rome is now strained with the Greek city-state of Syracus?" Leonidas asked a question, he didn't want the team to be filled with unknown people, even if there were less than 20 of them.

"Haha! Was the relationship between Sparta and Athens very friendly? Now we must unite in order to stand up to the Persian army. "Wang Jun's history is not too bad, this bit of is still understood.

"Huh? Well said! Leonidas laughed; Indeed, under the pressure of the Persians, countless city-states had to put aside their contradictions for a while and work together to deal with the million-strong army of the Persians.

Wang Jun carefully looked at Leonidas in front of him and the Spartan warrior behind him, your sister! The director who shot this movie must have a macho boyfriend plot; Looking at the past, all the Spartan warriors were tall and mighty, and in addition to the scarlet robes, they were a pair of black leather briefs! Was the average Spartan 1.85 meters tall in history? This Leonidas is at least 1.88 meters tall!

Watching their well-developed muscles bare in the air, Wang Jun had the feeling of watching a bodybuilding competition; Turning his head to look at his 18 Roman infantry, Wang Jun felt a little comforted, although these hoplite soldiers were not as beautiful as the Spartans, but at least they surpassed them in height, each 1.93 meters, hehe.

"So, what are we waiting for?" Wang Jun took off his helmet and looked at Leonidas with a smile, he wanted to ensure the life of this handsome old man.

"What do I think, you're a Persian?" Seeing Wang Jun's face, Leonidas suddenly shouted sharply; The Spartan warrior behind him clenched his spear again, and the soldier behind the king's army also raised their heavy javelins, ready to fight at any moment; For a while, the atmosphere in the narrow canyon returned to freezing.

Yellow skin, black pupils, and no deliberate arrangement of plug-ins, Wang Jun clearly has the appearance of an Oriental; For the Greeks, the east of the Aegean Sea was all Persians, and the eastern face of the royal army was definitely a certain subject race in the Persian Empire!

Wo Cha!

This time, the plug-in did not arrange an identity for Wang Jun, which is really troublesome!

Wang Jun was speechless, and he couldn't help but recall a joke in reality: the people of H North Province called the people north of the province northerners, and the people of H South Province called the people north of the province also called the northerners...... And when it came to the South Island, all the people on the mainland were northerners.

"You Spartans, that's how you treat your comrades?" Wang Jun was angry, and looked at Leonidas with a serious face, just because he was half a head shorter, and he seemed to be deterred.

"Haha! Leonidas, there are fewer soldiers than yours. "A bald head squeezed out of the ranks of the Spartans, and when he saw so many dozen or twenty men coming in front of him, he snorted at Leonidas; This gang was Dassos, the Arcadians, who were indignant at Leonidas along the way, and they had only three hundred men.

"Huh? How do you look like a Persian? Daxos saw Wang Jun's appearance clearly, and actually said the same.

*―%￥#?！?#￥%……――*

"Let's go." Wang Jun didn't bother to explain, the eastern face is the Persian? It's terrible to be uneducated!

So the king's army turned and left, followed by 18 Roman hoplites, ignoring Leonidas's men and walking towards the north of the canyon without any scruples.

Leonidas was stunned for a moment, maybe he had misunderstood? Where does the enemy dare to swagger with his back to himself?

"Hey! Friends, etc. Leonidas turned back and motioned for his team to follow, and in two of three steps, he caught up.

"How? There is also a need to discuss whether I am a Persian or not? Wang Jun didn't stop, and said as he walked.

"Uh...... Wang Jun, right? To introduce myself, I'm Leonidas. ”

"Oh, King of Sparta?" Wang Jun stopped and asked knowingly.

"Yes; I apologize to you for your previous attitude. "Leonidas was very sincere, obviously he was a straightforward person.

"If you kill a few more Persians, I'll accept your apology." Wang Jun smiled, and everything was done in moderation.

"Haha! Okay, let's kill the Persians together! Leonidas laughed when he saw Wang Jun so open-minded.

"We'll talk as we go." Wang Jun continued to move forward.

"Your men look good, but why do they have to wear armor?" Leonidas looked at the 18 Roman soldiers of almost identical stature and guessed the identity of the royal army in Rome.

"Armor? You're jealous. ”

“……”

7,019 people, stretching for nearly 2 kilometers at the narrow valley floor, this is the number of Wang Jun and Leonidas combined.

At sunset, the group arrived at the pass; Everyone walked to the open space outside the pass one after another, and watched the countless Persian warships on the sea being busy.

"Look, Persians!" A young Spartan warrior shouted excitedly, Wang Jun looked back, the black-haired handsome guy, this is the son of the Spartan centurion, Astino; This was the first time he had participated in a foreign campaign, and he was very excited, and he was not afraid at all about so many warships on the sea.

The leader of the Arcadians, Dassos, well, the bald man about the height of the king's army, looked stupidly at the Persian warships on the sea, his face full of unease and fear.

"Hey......" Wang Jun sighed, this Spartan is a cow; Dassos's performance is normal, the number of enemies is indeed terrifying, ordinary soldiers will have Dassos's expression after measuring the strength of both sides of the enemy, and it is already good to run away without being on the spot.

But the Spartans were clearly different, they could still get excited and eager for the next battle.

Strictly speaking, these warlike Spartans were probably the most elite infantry in the world around 480 BC.

To evaluate whether a soldier is elite, there are four looks; One looks at physical fitness, the second looks at training, the third looks at experience, and the fourth looks at equipment.

Physical?

Children with poor physique have fallen off the cliff, and from childhood until retirement at the age of 60, Spartan men don't have to do anything, just exercise; Moreover, the women of Sparta had to keep exercising, and they had to make sure that they could have healthy children; Look at these bodybuilders, physical fitness, basically don't compare.

Training?

If you look at the whole world, what country will train its citizens from the moment they can walk, and leave them out into the wild to survive when they are older? The men of Sparta, don't do anything else every day, that is, train to cut and stab people, from 7 years old to 60 years old, this training intensity and duration, no one in the world is comparable.

Experience?

The Spartans were pure professional soldiers, and the whole country was a large military camp; They don't know anything else, and they are not interested in art or anything, and the Spartans only know how to cut and stab people; A soldier who has reached the age of 20 has 13 years of experience in slashing and killing; The constant conquest between the Greek city-states, coupled with the militaristic system of Sparta, ensured that the Spartan warriors were far ahead of the professional experience.

The last item is equipment.

The Spartans were not equipped much: more than 2 kilograms of wrought iron spears, 1.6 kilograms of wrought iron single-edged short sword (according to Chinese terms, a machete), 4.5 kilograms of bronze helmets, 9 kilograms of copper-skinned round wooden shields (in real history, there were also 6 kilograms of composite armor made of copper as the main material), as well as the black leather briefs with a sense of surname and the scarlet linen robe.

At this time, the Roman Empire, which would be inherited for thousands of years in the future, had not yet begun, and now it was only an ancient Roman Republic that had just emerged with a town, and within the small country, the struggle between the commoners and the aristocracy had not yet ended, and the external expansion was not even considered; At this time, Rome, not to mention the overlord of Sicily, the city-state of Syracus, and some large tribes near Roman towns, could not afford to provoke. Roman soldiers at this time, standard weapons? Wood has! Soldiers are requested to bring their own.

The Persian Empire, which crossed the ocean from the east, was the most powerful empire at present, and could drown the Spartans in terms of numbers; But when it comes to soldiers' equipment, there are all kinds of them, it is simply a multi-ethnic weapons exchange conference, and the quality of equipment is also average. Bows and arrows can't pierce, swords can't cut through the magical round shields of the Spartans, and their own shields and armor are split by the Spartans, poking a hole; Perhaps in the real history, the quality of weapons and equipment of the Persian Empire in 480 AD was on par with that of the Spartans, but this is only possible.

So, what about the East of the Persian Empire, ancient China?

At this time, China happened to be in the middle of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, that is, the end of the Spring and Autumn Period and the rise of the Warring States.

The state of Qin, which swept through the six countries, has not yet risen, and it should be the reign of Qin Mourning Gong now, 120 years before the Shang Dynasty reform, and 235 years before the bull-nosed Qin Shi Huang ascended the throne. King Chu Hui, who has been bull-nosed for decades in the future, has just recovered the throne at this time, and the internal stability is not stable, and the weapon master Lu Ban is still young and is working as a migrant worker in Lu State, and he will not come to mix with King Chu Hui until 30 years later. The legendary Wu Wangfu had just beaten Qi Guo to a half-crippled position, and was bitten back by Zhao Guogoujian, who had been lying on the salary for ten years, and ended up full of injuries. For example, the Zhao State of Zhongtian has not yet had such things as cavalry cavalry and archery to deter the Six Kingdoms, and that is more than a hundred years later.

To put it simply, at the beginning of the Warring States period, China was still in the era when bronze weapons were in vogue, and iron weapons only slowly matured in the middle and late Warring States periods, and by the Han Dynasty, a large number of troops were assembled. And in the movie, I often see the crossbow array attack that covers the sky, and it is still very early; It will take more than 150 years for the crossbowmen to appear as a system; What's more, arrowheads at the end of the Warring States period were still commonly made of bronze.

Looking at the excited or calm Spartan warriors, Wang Jun sighed very emotionally; It's a pity that I can't see their caste, and I don't know how it compares to the Roman hoplites I summoned?

Unbeknownst to the king's army, Leonidas was now staring at the Roman hoplites of the king's army.

At this time, several small Greeks came over, and they were the leaders of the reinforcements of Koslin, Thebes, and Fusch.

"Leonidas, what's the matter with this Persian next to you?" The three of them actually asked such a sentence at the same time.

Wo Cha!

I'm really not a Persian! Wang Jun was about to be angry with these uneducated people.
