Xerxes will definitely come to surrender!

Although Liu Ping was full of confidence in this matter and said it categorically, the people present basically didn't believe that this kind of thing would happen.

But if you don't believe it, whether you will say it or not is another matter.

Everyone actually understands in their hearts that the reason why Liu Ping said so definitely that Xerxes will definitely come here to send him to death is mainly to encourage everyone and give everyone a hope.

In the face of the countless Persian heavy soldiers outside, the hope that the reincarnation team can fight their way out of the encirclement is very slim, if Liu Ping doesn't say so, everyone will definitely fall into despair.

After understanding Liu Ping's painstaking efforts, everyone also smiled very cooperatively, nodded their heads one after another, and then began to talk seriously one by one, how to ambush the Persian king Xerxes.

The first to speak was Wei Xuan, who beat his chest and stomped his feet in frustration and frustration: "It's a pity! There is not enough time, otherwise we can dig a hidden soldier hole according to the previous plan, and with this hiding cave, it will definitely be much easier to ambush Xerxes. ”

Wang Dahai touched his chin and made a contemplative statement: "Even if you have time, it's useless, since there are traitors who have sent a message to the Persians, the plan to hide the soldiers will definitely not be able to be implemented, it seems that you can only pretend to surrender first, and then take the opportunity to approach Xerxes before you do it!" ”

Wu Yun's body was still very weak, but he put forward a good suggestion: "Or really surrender, our task is only to guard the hot spring pass, and this task is still arranged by the main god, we actually have no enmity with Persia itself, but we don't have to fight against the Persian army to the end." ”

John disagreed: "Yes, but if we surrender now, our mission will not be completed, and we will be obliterated by the Lord God." ”

Wu Yun bit his lip: "Then tell that Persian emperor that we will surrender tomorrow and let him wait for a day." ”

Liu Ping smiled: "This is also a good way, if Xerxes sends someone to surrender, we can put forward this suggestion to try, if the Persians can really agree, everyone naturally doesn't have to work hard." ”

Wang Dahai scratched his head: "This is not good, if we do this, then wherever the Spartans are, they will definitely not surrender." ”

Liu Ping nodded and sighed: "Yes, we have been fighting side by side for so many days, if we really do this, we will never dream of being stable in the future." ”

Wu Yun pouted: "Come on, we are not Spartans, we can come here to help them guard for so many days, it is already considered benevolent and righteous, and at this time surrender to Persia, no one can say that ours is not." ”

Just as the members of the reincarnation team were chatting and talking nonsense on the city wall, the reinforcements of the Persians finally arrived.

Outside the camp at the back of the canyon, it was densely packed with Persian soldiers at the moment, all kinds of troops, not only infantry, archers and cavalry, but even the Persian Janissary Guard's 'Immortal Legion" Yemota" was also here, as well as the ten-meter-high giant elephant, Liu Ping also saw two in the Persian army array, just the Persians who could be seen outside the jungle, the number of them had exceeded 10,000, as for whether there were enemy troops hidden in the jungle, no one knew.

With the sudden sound of a trumpet, a group of archers and a group of infantry came out of the Persian army.

The two groups did not attack the city walls, but cautiously followed the path outside the camp up the mountain.

It's not that Liu Ping and Wang Dahai don't want to go out to stop it, but they can't.

Although this trail is steep and difficult to walk, if the Persians really don't care about it, it is not the only way to go up the mountain, they can climb up from various places next to the trail, at most the speed of the climb is slower, and some people will be injured.

If you want to stop the Persians and not let one person go up the mountain, you have to arrange at least a few dozen people on the mountain. However, because the mountain of the entire canyon is not very high, the Persian archers under the mountain can still attack the people on the mountain, and once Liu Ping and the others really arrange people to defend on the mountain, then the defenders will be very dangerous.

The entire reincarnation team, now the two of them still have combat effectiveness, once they really fight with the Persians, they must be in charge of a city wall, and they can't pull out their hands to go up the mountain.

As for the Spartans, forget it, although they still have about a hundred people left at the moment, but everyone is wounded, if they are really sent up the mountain, in that open environment, it is estimated that they will die in less than an hour.

If Xerxes really came to Thermopylae to surrender, none of these Spartans could die, because Liu Ping and Wang Dahai needed them to attract the Persian firepower when they assassinated Xerxes.

Without them, the two would have to face all the Persian fires when assassinating Xerxes, and if this really happened, Liu Ping and Wang Dahai would not have the confidence to succeed at all.

Of course, the main reason was that everyone suddenly found out that the Persians really seemed to be planning to surrender them, which made everyone very excited.

So many Persians have gathered here, and after so long, they still have no intention of attacking, not even a single arrow has been fired at them, and they have been constantly deploying troops, making it clear that they have no intention of using force to solve the problem.

Since the Persians planned to settle the dispute over Hot Springs Pass by peaceful means, how could the people of the reincarnation team refuse, so in order not to stimulate the nerves of the Persians, the reincarnation team simply let the Persians carry out various military deployments and ignored them.

Seeing the Persian archers lining up, occupying the entire top of the canyon, and then aiming their bows and arrows at everyone in the canyon, Liu Ping still did not make any moves that might mislead the Persians, and even found two pieces of white cloth, tied them with wooden sticks, and erected them on the two city walls.

The reason for doing this was mainly because Wu Yun felt that he could negotiate with Xerxes first, and he would really agree to the reincarnation team members to defend until tomorrow before surrendering.

Liu Ping's actions naturally aroused strong dissatisfaction among the Spartans, and Leonidas had to come to the door for this.

"The Spartans are ready for a magnificent death, and it is an honor for us! If you do not approve of our decision, but intend to surrender to the Persians, please leave, for the sake of the friendship in which we have fought together for so many days, I will not hinder you. ”

Liu Ping hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, Your Majesty King Leonidas, you misunderstood, we did not intend to surrender to the Persians. ”

"Then why are you putting up the white flag?"

"Fake surrender, just to stall for time."

"Surrender if you surrender, surrender if you don't surrender, where is there any fake surrender, and how can you rely on this to delay time?"

"Hehe, there are many kinds of surrender, there are unconditional surrenders and conditional surrenders. This is our conditional surrender. As long as these actions of ours make the Persians mistakenly think that we do not intend to defend the hot spring pass, then the Persians will definitely send an envoy to make us surrender, and at this time, we can ask the two sides to negotiate on the matter of surrender, and we can delay as much time as possible without hurting a single soldier during the negotiation. ”

Liu Ping thought that this reason was already very sufficient, and Leonidas should understand, but he didn't think that he immediately and unceremoniously vetoed this method.

"The Spartans never retreated, and the Spartans never surrendered! This is the glory of our Spartans! ”

"This is a fake surrender!"

"We Spartans have never surrendered, whether true or not! This is absolutely not allowed! And no matter how nice you say it, in the eyes of the Persians! In fact, this is surrender! This will ruin the glory of our Spartans, so either you will immediately remove the white flag and prepare for battle with the Persians, or please leave immediately! ”

Liu Ping and the others were almost not angry with Leonidas, but at this time, they couldn't fall out with the Spartans, in that case, the Hot Springs Pass would definitely fall in a blink of an eye.

It was still Wu Yunzhi who was the first to stand up: "Forget it, let's take down the white flag, negotiate with the Persians, I just talked about it casually before, think about it now, there is indeed a lack of consideration, not to mention that the Spartans will be dissatisfied because of this, even in the main god, we are not easy to explain, since he assigned us to the side of the Spartans, then we should insist on fighting the Persians all the time, if we really surrender to the Persians, who knows if he will be angry and punish us." ”

As soon as these words came out, the rest of the reincarnation team immediately shut up, and none of them had really thought about the question of whether the main god would be angry because of this.

Although no one has ever seen the main god, they don't know what the temper of the main god is, and even whether there is a main god or not, Liu Ping and they can't be very sure, but still no one dares to risk their own lives to do experiments, the risk of doing so is too great, and it is completely unnecessary.

As a result, the white flag was quickly removed, and everyone gathered outside the Zhongmen Canyon, surrounded by Spartans with shields, forming a formation similar to the same turtle shell as in the movie.

The reason why he had to leave the Middle Gate Gorge and abandon the two walls that he had worked so hard to build was because this was Leonidas' request.

After discussing it with Liu Ping, they agreed to his proposal.

Because at the end of the movie, that's what the Spartans did, and after doing so, the Persian emperor came to them and tried to recruit them.

Since Liu Ping plans to assassinate Xerxes, then at this moment, it is better to follow the plot, and they have also thought about it, anyway, the top of the cliff has been lost, since there are a large number of Persian archers on the top of their heads aiming at themselves at any time, what are you still doing on the city wall, it is meaningless, it is better to take a risk.

Before going out of the walls, Leonidas shouted to all the remaining Spartans: "No retreat, no surrender, that's the law of the Spartans." According to our laws, we will stand, we will fight, we will die. A new century has begun, a century of freedom. Everyone will know that 300 Spartans have been guarding the hot springs until their last breath! ”

As soon as the words fell, all the Spartans suddenly shouted frantically: "For the glory of Sparta!" ”

"Let's go!"

With Leonidas' order, all the Spartans immediately jumped off the walls of the Middle Gate Canyon and marched to the road outside the Middle Gate Canyon.

Wu Yun, John and Wei Xuan were in the middle, and the other Spartans were outside, all huddled together, each holding a shield, covering all the surroundings and the sky, not revealing a single gap, like a turtle shell covering the road outside the canyon.

Leonidas, Liu Ping and Wang Dahai stood straight in front of the turtle shell.

They don't know if Xerxes will come, and they don't know if they'll die in the end!

They just have to stand there, in this final moment, waiting for their coming fate.
