Wang Dahai, who finally understood the current situation, immediately became anxious: "Then let's go quickly, didn't John say that no one has noticed us yet, it's just the right time." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

John nodded: "Yes, if you want to escape from the Persian camp, now is indeed a good opportunity, the soldiers of the entire camp are now busy packing up and marching, in a mess, only the outermost place, there are still a small number of guards guarding, as long as we move quickly, we will definitely be able to rush out easily." ”

Wu Yun immediately walked out and said, "Then hurry up, don't delay time, if the Persians are busy and react, we won't be able to go anymore." ”

Wei Xuan shook his hand at this time and stopped everyone who wanted to get out of the tent: "No, no, you can't leave yet." ”

Wu Yun looked at Wei Xuan very strangely: "Didn't you say you wanted to run away before?" Why are you stopping us now? ”

"I said I wanted to run away, but I didn't say I wanted to run now. You know, it's broad daylight, and it's not the best time to escape at all, although it should be easy for us to escape from the barracks while the Persians don't notice us, but it's easy to escape from the barracks, and it's even more difficult to escape the Persian army that follows. You also know the terrain around here, it's not very complicated, and in broad daylight, the vision is so clear, it's hard for us to get rid of the pursuers behind us.

Moreover, Liu Ping and Wang Dahai's combat effectiveness now has dropped very much compared to before.

So I think that even if we want to escape, it is better to do so at night, and even if we do, if we can avoid conflict with the Persians, it is better not to have a conflict, after all, we are all very poor in horsemanship, and it is difficult to escape the pursuit of the Persian cavalry that follows.

If we really plan to escape, it's better to set up a detailed plan before proceeding to be on the safe side. ”

Everyone couldn't help but fall silent, what Wei Xuan said did have some truth, and now really didn't seem to be the best time to escape.

"Then how long will it take you to come up with a plan, we don't know when the Lord God will release a new mission for us, so we can't delay it too long." Liu Ping said to Wei Xuan with a frown.

Wei Xuan smiled slightly: "You don't have to worry, we are actually far away from Athens, it is impossible for the Lord God to release a new mission so soon, we have enough time." ”

After a pause, Wei Xuan continued to speak: "While I have time, I will simply tell you about the actions carried out by the Persian army after the Battle of Hot Springspass in real history, let's listen to it together and see if there is anything we can use here."

Although we are in the plot of the movie, and what happens around us is also developed according to the plot of the movie, after all, the movie is adapted from historical facts, and the general direction should not be much different.

And now, since the time of the fall of the hot spring pass is not much different from the time that happened in real history, what happened later should be similar to the real history. ”

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and then they all nodded in unison, anyway, it's nothing, it's good to listen.

So everyone in the tent put away their somewhat uneasy mood one by one, pricked up their ears, and began to listen to Wei Xuan's story seriously.

"Since the fall of Thermopay Pass, the Persian army has become an invincible presence on land, invincible all the way, and there is no opponent at all.

Even the Athenians knew that with the strength of the entire Greek army, it was impossible to confront the Persians in a land war, and the only hope for Greece was that if the navy was won, Greece would be able to defeat Persia, and if the naval battle was lost, Greece would be over, so the commander of Athens ordered all the soldiers and civilians in the city to withdraw from Athens, leaving an empty city for the Persian army.

Without the resistance of the Athenian army, the Greek army marched in and soon stormed and sacked Athens, and then set fire to all of Athens.

Although the defeat of Athens without a fight was frustrating to the Greek army, the Athenian navy did not live up to the expectations of the Greek leaders, and they crushed the Persian fleet in the Gulf of Salamis, near the city, decisively annihilating almost all of the Persian navy, and turning the tide of the war in one fell swoop.

Xerxes could not sustain such a large army force in a poor mountainous country like Greece without a navy to transport supplies, so he finally had to withdraw the invading army to Persia.

As for why Athens dared to put all its hopes in this naval battle, it was because of a parable, which was told by a priestess named Pythia.

At that time, the war had not yet begun, and the Persian army had only just been assembled, and Xerxes, in order to reduce the resistance to the attack, sent a large number of emissaries to intimidate the kings of the various Greek city-states everywhere, hoping that these city-states would surrender without a fight.

Naturally, the city of Athens was not pulled down, and they heard from the mouth of the Persian envoy that Xerxes was going to send millions of troops to attack Greece, and the Athenians were at a loss in their hearts, and immediately sent an envoy to Delphi to ask for an oracle.

The priestess Pythia happened to be a little high at this time, and she began with a sentence: O Athenians! Why don't you run yet!

This frightened the Athenian envoy, and perhaps the priest felt that he had been too frightened, so he said a more pleasant verse to appease the Athenians.

Everything within the territory of Athens will fall

Only the wooden walls remained, and only the wooden walls survived

This is Zeus's promise to Athena, and to you and the children

Holy Salamis - You will be the grave of many mothers' sons

This moment is either at the time of sowing or at the time of harvest

The commander of Greece at that time was Themistocles, and he was delighted when he heard it.

Walls of wood?

The boat is also made of wood!

Isn't that what the oracle says about a ship?

Themistocles preached that the only way to defend Greece was to rely on his own fleet.

His persuasion skills must have been full, and he succeeded.

Themistocles led his coalition army, a total of 270 ships, into Artemisius at once, and at this time, the king of Sparta, Leonidas, was also leading his coalition army of 5,000 men to Thermopylae to die.

While Leonidas fought at Thermopylae, Themistocles and his navy also achieved a certain victory.

First of all, the Persian fleet lost 400 ships in a storm, which accounted for a full third of the Persian navy at that time.

After the Persian army entered the territory of Greece, it did not advance immediately, but celebrated a festival in order to show off its wealth, and also held a grand boat race and horse race or something, and waited until the monsoon season to start the war, and explained by practice what it means to die without death!

Then a defecting Greek in the Persian fleet revealed to Themistocles the future battle plan of the Persian fleet, so that Themistocles could leave the port in time to intercept and succeed, smash many enemy ships with the help of bronze ramming horns, and capture thirty of them.

But then, the annoyed Persian navy launched a full-scale attack, and the Greeks finally could not beat it, lost more than half of their ships, and retreated to Salamis.

The defeated Greeks, with only 180 ships left at their disposal, had to fight against a Persian fleet three times as large as their own, and there was a strong sense of pessimism in the democratic camp.

The Persian spies wasted no time in making their moves, promising the Greek soldiers everywhere that if they surrendered, they would immediately have a great deal of gold.

The Greek coalition was shaken, the surrender faction began to overpower the main battle faction, and even the bigwigs of Peloponnese were ready to collect money and run away to become a colony.

Faced with this unfavorable situation, Themistocles played a ruthless trick.

He sent his cronies to Xerxes, saying that he had long admired the name of the king of Persia and that he was going to surrender on behalf of Athens, but the Peloponnesians were planning to escape, and if the king did not kill these children, he would not be able to take all of Greece. I wholeheartedly hope that Persia will win, so the Persian army must not let them go.

Xerxes was persuaded by Themistocles' S-class incitement skills and sent men to blockade the strait.

Themistocles saw that his goal had been achieved, and immediately turned back and made a generous statement to his fellow Greeks, "Comrades, you see, the Persian dogs have blocked us on the shore, and we can't run if we want to, so we might as well take up arms and fight against the water!"

So all the Greek soldiers were so excited that they decided to fight the Persian army to the death.

In fact, after the Greek navy retreated to Salamis due to the defeat, Xerxes once convened the admirals to discuss whether to pursue the Greek navy.

As a result, everyone voted unanimously in favor of the rematch, with only the great Queen of Caria, Artemitia, objecting.

She believed that winter was approaching, and that the Persian army was deep into the enemy's hinterland and was undersupplied, while the Greek army had a geographical advantage that was easy to defend and difficult to attack. Now that Athens has been captured, it is better to starve the Greek army and force them to run home. Moreover, there are unreliable partners like the Egyptians in their own team, who will rebel if they have nothing to do, adding uncertainties, and they are likely to lose if they start another war.

Xerxes, though praised for her shrewd analysis, obeyed the advice of most of his generals and decided to fight.

As the oracle said, the battle of Salamis was inevitable at this moment.

The Persian navy rushed into the autumn mist, only to find that the Greek warships, which they thought had fled in all directions, were waiting for them.

The fleet that entered the strait in front had no room to turn back, but the warships behind were still squeezing forward, for fear that the exploits of slashing and killing the Greeks would be robbed by the front.

Due to the large number of ships, the flexibility of the Persian fleet was greatly reduced, and only the Greek army was left to block and slash.

In the melee, Xerxes's royal brother and the commander-in-chief of the Phoenician fleet were killed by the Athenians, and the Phoenician fleet, which was known as the strongest, was immediately leaderless, and was forced to the side by the wedge formation of the Greeks and slowly slashed.

As the second most powerful queen of the Persian Empire's navy, Artemicia was a master of the wind and the rudder, and as soon as she saw that the Persian fleet was gone, she immediately raised her sails and fled, and on the way sank the ship of a friendly city-state with which she had a dispute.

The Greeks, seeing her crash into the Persian ship, did not continue the pursuit and let her go.

Xerxes stood on Mount Egarios and watched the battle, not seeing which side she was hitting, and praising her heroics.

He didn't know that the queen's ship had always had two sets of flags, one for the Persians and one for the Greeks.

At this time, she changed into the Greek flag and walked away, leaving the Imperial Navy in a mess to be slaughtered.

When the sun went down in the afternoon, the battle for Salamis finally came to an end.

The battle crushed the Persian navy and finally made Xerxes give up the idea of continuing westward. ”
