Chapter 69: A Typhoon Is Coming
At the forefront of the charge was the captain of the Persian cavalry, he made countless meritorious achievements, and the number of souls under his hands was innumerable, he knew very well that as a light cavalry, it was unwise to fight the hoplites head-on, fortunately, the opponent was relatively small in number, as long as the opponent's position was disturbed, victory would be within reach.
When the captain of the cavalry was about to collide with the king of Sparta, he lifted the reins in his hand violently, and the war horse he sat down immediately kicked his feet hard, jumped forward high, carried its master on his back, crossed the head of the Spartan king Leonidas, and then stepped down fiercely.
Before he could hit the ground, a shield suddenly rose from beneath and slammed into the Persian cavalry in mid-air.
With a loud bang, the Persian cavalry was like a huge sandbag, and the shield slammed it out, and with a long scream, the man and the horse fell straight into the cliff on the north side of the road, into the raging water, and stirred up a high wave.
"Holy! The arm strength of these Spartans is at least three times that of ordinary people! Wang Dahai exclaimed.
The king of Sparta, as the sharp horn of the formation, was naturally focused on by the Persian cavalry, and they rode one after another, completely ignoring their own life and death, and so unscrupulously and frantically rammed into it.
Leonidas, as the king of Sparta, has the best martial arts in the country, and the huge round shield in his hand seems to be simply erected on the ground, and the rules are nothing special, but in fact, there is another mystery, for each impact from the front, he will adjust the direction of the shield tilt accordingly.
All the Persian cavalry who collided with it felt as if they had hit a slanted iron plate at this moment, and then they were gently led by it, and immediately involuntarily ran to the side, and then collided with the Persian cavalry next to them.
Because the Spartan warriors made a triangular formation on this not very wide road, the road became narrower and narrower the more passable the road became, even if the Spartan warriors did not use their hands, the Persian cavalry who kept rushing forward would collide with their own people.
It's okay on the side in the middle, at most it's just hitting the wall; The outside side will be miserable, and if you are not careful, you will be squeezed off the cliff by your own people, of course, and this is only if the Spartans do not make a move.
Will the Spartans stand and not fight back? The answer is obvious, of course not!
The spear suddenly stabbed out from behind the shield, and stabbed the Persian cavalry on the horse one by one.
From time to time, short swords were cut out from under the shields, cutting off the feet of one horse after another, and the Persian cavalry at high speed immediately fell heavily from their horses to the ground, and then they were either trampled to death by the cavalry that followed behind, or easily killed by the Spartans.
Hundreds of Persian cavalry seemed to be rushing tides, rolling and surging, high and high, looking so unstoppable, but when they encountered the reef composed of Spartans, although they stirred up huge waves, they could not shake the reef at all.
The impact splashed colorful waves, it was the blood of the Persian cavalry, it was the wail of the war horse before it died, it was a lament that composed the war.
The Spartans were like robots at the moment, repeating these simple but effective actions, stabbing down one Persian cavalry after another, and chopping down one war horse after another.
They do what they are trained to do.
They do what they need to be raised.
They do what they have to do.
No prisoners of war, no mercy.
It was a massacre, a naked slaughter of 300 Spartan warriors against 900 Persian cavalry.
"Look at their shields, not only can't arrows penetrate, but even javelins that can shoot through stones can't penetrate it, I estimate that the thickness must be at least one centimeter, and it is made of iron, so if you count it, such a large shield must weigh at least a hundred pounds." Liu Ping analyzed in surprise.
Wang Dahai pointed to the battlefield and shouted: "That Spartan king is too powerful, he should be the strongest person in Sparta, no matter how I look at it, I think his strength should reach four times that of ordinary people, what is his name?" ”
"Leonidas! Whether in the real world or in the movie, he is the most powerful warrior in the kingdom of Sparta. Wei Xuan replied with surprise on his face, the strength of the Spartan 300 warriors was far beyond his imagination, and the task of defending Hot Springs for seven days now seemed to be not very difficult to complete......
The battle only lasted more than ten minutes before it ended, and the 900 Persian cavalry finally fled back with only more than 200 horsemen, and the 300 Spartan warriors who won a great victory only paid a very small price of five minor injuries from beginning to end.
The villagers who had been building the wall could finally rest, and now they had started to cook and set up camp outside the east gate, where they would live for a month if all went well.
Leonidas left the soldiers to clean up the battlefield, and he came to Liu Ping alone: "Oracles, first meeting, I am the king of Sparta, Leonidas. ”
Oracle?
Leonidas's call for everyone baffles everyone, oracle? What is it? Could it be that this is the identity that the Lord God has arranged for them? Everyone's faces involuntarily showed puzzled expressions.
Seeing this, Leonidas smiled slightly: "It's strange why do I know your identity?" ”
After speaking, Leonidas pointed to the canyon at the middle gate: "Because on my way here, I have already met a few of your companions, who are now recruiting believers everywhere in the rear, and they are the ones who have told me who you are. ”
Wei Xuan and Liu Ping suddenly realized, while the others were still confused, whether they understood or not.
"It's those newcomers who haven't appeared, they must be recruiting troops in the rear, it's really uncreative, and the methods they come up with are the same as what we thought before, they are all playing god sticks!" Liu Ping pulled everyone aside and explained in a whisper.
Wang Dahai was very strange: "I didn't see them all the way, why did they suddenly rush to the front of us." ”
"They should have taken a small road, and it was not surprising that they arrived at the hot spring pass earlier than us yesterday in order to take away these hundreds of villagers."
"It seems that the quality of the newcomers who came this time is good! can actually think of recruiting troops by pretending to be a god and playing ghosts, if you can really get tens of thousands of strong soldiers, the plot of this movie should be able to pass safely. Wu Yun said in surprise.
Wei Xuan smiled coldly: "Don't dream, I still say the same thing, if you can get soldiers so easily, there won't be only these 300 guards in Sparta here." ”
He habitually lifted his glasses, then pointed to the 300 Spartan soldiers and sighed: "Speaking of which, haven't you noticed anything wrong?" ”
Wang Dahai looked at it, there was nothing wrong?
Wu Yun shook her head, she didn't find anything.
The rest of the people are basically puzzled, looking around, what's wrong?
Only Liu Ping nodded and replied, "I found out as soon as they appeared, the militia group!" You forget, there are not only these 300 Spartan warriors in the movie, but there should also be a lot of militia warriors behind them. ”
"That's right! I'll just say why there are so few people! Wang Dahai suddenly realized.
"Hindsight! When did you say that! Wu Yun said angrily.
Jun Ningxiang also made a grimace at Wang Dahai, they have been very familiar with each other in the past two days, Wang Dahai is a big pervert, Jun Ningxiang is such a young and beautiful female college student, he naturally will not let it go, and he will come to her side if he has nothing to do.
"Either the main god has increased the difficulty and canceled the militia reinforcements!"
As soon as Wei Xuan's words fell, Liu Ping gritted his teeth and said, "Either those newcomers who pretended to be divine envoys and robbed them halfway!" ”
There was silence at the scene, and everyone was amazed.
Wu Yun's slightly hesitant tone sounded: "Are you mistaken, probably not, why did they do this?" ”
Wei Xuan explained coldly: "Power moves people's hearts, of course, to seize power!" When they knew that you couldn't use firearms in the plot of this movie, you had already begun to lose your deterrent power to the whole team, but at that time they were still in awe of Liu Ping's deeds and would not make any moves. But what you did afterwards was so disappointing for them, especially when they saw Wang Dahai being trampled under the horse of the Persian cavalry! Who's going to take you for a piece of! ”
"Don't open a pot and mention a pot! It was just an accident! Where did I expect the other party to be so powerful! Wang Dahai shouted angrily.
Liu Ping sighed: "Of course, another possibility cannot be ruled out, that is, they think we are dead, if this is the case, the rival he wants to seize power is not us, but the king of Sparta, Leonidas!" ”……
No one knows what they think until they meet the newcomers, and the most important thing is to put it aside and keep the hot springs safe.
After the Persian cavalry suffered a crushing defeat in the attack on Thermopyla, they no longer dared to do anything about Thermopyla, but guarded outside the west gate of Thermopuest.
The Persian army of 500,000 finally arrived at the village of Thermopylae at dusk, and saw that the banners of the forest were planted all over the wilderness, and they did not rush to attack the Thermopylae Pass, but began to set up camp, only to see tents rising from the ground, as if after a rain, and soon covered the whole land.
As soon as the army arrived, the ships on the sea began to line up to dock, the wharf was not very large, only a few ships could be docked at a time, and the sluice plates were lowered from the boats, and soldiers like worker ants shuttled on them, carrying all kinds of military supplies.
At this time, the sea was full of all kinds of ships, large and small, and there were so many of them that the sails on the ships almost covered the entire sea.
The weather at sea changed as soon as it was dark, and a strong wind suddenly blew on the sea, and the sky began to be cloudy, lightning and thunder.
Soon after the wind blew, the raindrops began to fall, and then the rain became heavier and heavier, and the sea began to set off huge waves.
The typhoon is coming, and it seems that the wind level of this typhoon is not small.
Everyone stopped what they were doing at this time, and looked at the huge Persian fleet on the sea, only to see that these ships, which usually looked huge, were now like toys, floating and sinking in the waves of the sea, and in the face of the roar of nature, the strength of human beings seemed so weak at this time.
As the rain and wind became heavier, the huge fleet of Persia could be regarded as suffering at this time, and the Spartans witnessed the Persian ships breaking and sinking in this stormy sea, and the whole sea was soon full of dying Persian soldiers and the wreckage of a large number of sunken ships.
Seeing the desperately large fleet sinking to the bottom of the sea, everyone suddenly cheered wildly in the heavy rain, many people even hugged their heads and cried, rain and tears flowed all over everyone's faces, the Persian army burned and looted along the way, all the Greeks with conscience hated it to the core, and they were all excited to see that God had now opened their eyes and drowned so many Persian troops.
Besides, although everyone came with the intention of dying, but if they could not die, no one wanted to die, if all the Persian army sank to the bottom of the sea to feed the fish at this time, then they naturally did not have to fight anymore, and they could pat their butts and go home safely.
At this time, in the entire coalition army, the only one who did not join this carnival, except for the king of Sparta, is the reincarnation team, Liu Ping and others have watched the movie N times in advance, and naturally know that although the Persian army has suffered heavy losses, it has not broken its muscles and bones, and this war is still far from over.
This typhoon came and went quickly, it seemed to be specially designed to destroy the Persian fleet, and once the Persian fleet was destroyed, the wind and rain quickly disappeared without a trace.
