Chapter 137: Reinforcements Arrive
Although it seems very unfair to beat the ancient cavalry with a gun, it is a bit shameless to suspect, but Su Chen doesn't see it that way, he changed to an ordinary person, and when he saw a large number of people rushing over on the opposite side, he was scared to death, where is the time to take care of shooting?
One shot takes away a life, and a bullet explodes a person's head, Su Chen has no false shots, and the super high efficiency of the gun hit makes it almost impossible for the cavalry on the opposite side to get close to him.
The Persian cavalry was shot in the head and rolled off the horse, but the war horse continued to gallop forward, generally as long as it was not aimed at him, Su Chen directly ignored it and let these war horses pass by him, but if it hit him straight, he would also make up for it and blow the head of this war horse that was not long-eyed.
The red pants behind Su Chen were depressed, the belligerent Spartans were still waiting for the next big battle, but who knew that they were cut off by Su Chen, and after eating the meat, they didn't even leave them a bite of soup, these war horses are quite good trophies, the problem is that the Spartans are all hoplites, and they haven't learned anything about fighting on horseback.
After firing twenty magazines in one go, the cavalry on the opposite side finally stopped, mainly because there were too many corpses that were trampled into meat sauce after falling off the horse, which had already hindered the gallop of the war horse.
There were hundreds of corpses in the big place, and those with slightly worse equestrian skills didn't need Su Chen to shoot again, and they fell off the horse first.
It was only then that the Persian cavalry, who were no longer hot-headed, noticed the tragic scene in front of them, and when they saw so many people falling from their horses and dying inexplicably, the Persian cavalry naturally associated this result with ghosts and gods, so the most common scene in ancient warfare appeared.
A group of Persian horsemen turned their horses and shouted slogans that no one understood. Gallop towards your own camp.
Su Chen has studied Arabic. However, the composition of these Persian coalition forces was very complex. It was not just Persia, but a coalition of dozens of countries, like these fleeing cavalry in panic, God knows which Chinese language they spoke.
Seeing the cavalry retreating, Su Chen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, just now he was also in a state of full strength, although it was not for a long time, he also felt a little tired.
The shooting itself is not very tiring. It's nothing more than pulling the trigger, but Su Chen's pursuit is efficiency, one bullet has to solve one person, so he must have a high degree of concentration on the basis of ultra-fast shooting.
That is, he can use NZT and master the adrenaline rush, and it is impossible for any ordinary person to concentrate his attention to such a height.
However, killing so many people is not without any price, smelling the smell of blood coming from the air, Su Chen suddenly felt a little sick to his stomach.
It's not like he hasn't killed people before. It's just that I didn't kill so much, if I did it again. Then he is an out-and-out thousand people.
Leonidas came over, smiled and praised, "Well done, you make me feel once again that the Spartans have been swept away from the ashes of history." โ
Su Chen rolled his eyes, and secretly said Is this a unique tsundere way that belongs to the bearded king?
"Your Majesty, you better think about how to wipe out the Persians first!"
Leonidas was silent for a moment, and then said, "Are you sure you can kill Xerxes?" โ
"It's easy, just like it was just now!" Su Chen said that this is not a problem.
In fact, when he was standing on the cliff just now, he had already seen Xerxes with a telescope, this guy was pretentious, and he regarded himself as the king of the gods, and the throne was so exaggerated and luxurious that it was even more eye-catching, and it could be seen at a glance.
Leonidas mused, "I need to gather a large army, Sparta still has 10,000 warriors, and the Greek city-states can also assemble a coalition of more than 30,000 people, plus the people here...... 50,000 people, hopefully they will arrive soon! โ
"Do you need me to help you deliver a message? You can return before dark. Su Chen pointed to the flying machine behind him and said.
Leonidas laughed, "The Spartans believe in discipline, and 10,000 people will arrive tomorrow at the latest, so don't worry about them." The problem is ...... Greek coalition"
Obviously, Leonidas did not dare to guarantee that the free-spirited Greeks would be as punctual as the Spartans.
Su Chen nodded and said no more.
This was the end of the day's battle, after which Xerxes appeared, carried his huge throne by hundreds of slaves, and personally persuaded Leonidas to surrender to him, promising a rich reward.
The result is self-evident, Leonidas rejected Xerxes's solicitation in a humorous tone, and provoked him to be furious, and Leonidas did not show weakness in his attitude, and a new war was about to break out.
Seeing that the red pants were building a "corpse mountain", Su Chen expressed his gratitude and expected him to help? Forget it, who knows if there are fleas on the bodies of these Persian coalition troops?
Next to attack are the 10,000-strong "Immortals", who are Xerxes' most elite "Guardsmen", and among them is a powerful "monster" who almost killed King Leonidas in the movie, and the Red Pants began to officially suffer casualties in this battle.
Su Chen didn't know why the Spartans in the movie changed their battle formation and responded to Xerxes's Imperial Forest Army in a loose formation, causing themselves to suffer a lot of casualties, but now it is different, first of all, the number of red pants has increased tenfold compared to the movie, and secondly, with Su Chen's prompt, Leonidas reintegrated the battle formation into a spear phalanx.
With Leonidas's order, a mountain of corpses was pushed forward, and the Spartans, who had already been ambushed, approached the Imperial Forest Army step by step in a neat queue.
These monsters wearing ghost masks, not like humans and ghosts, but they were armed with two knives, but they had no defenses, and before they could swing their blades, they were poked in the head by the Spartan red pants on the opposite side.
Advancing in a dense formation, the Royal Forest Army's ability to fight alone was not brought into play at all, but was killed and retreated, as for the monster that made Leonidas's wolf bรจi unbearable in the movie, he was directly sniped in the head by Su Chen, who was hiding on the cliff.
In less than an hour, most of the casualties of the Royal Forest Army, which had not retreated. Xerxes wanted to avoid the annihilation of his most elite troops. The black-clad army could only be recalled in a fit of rage.
In the evening. The Spartans and the Greek coalition had a bonfire, but at the same time, Su Chen had already returned to the real world and fell asleep.
The next day's battle was even more stalemate, starting from dawn, the first to attack was the barbarian army in the Asian part of the Persian Empire, but these rabbles were quickly routed, and then there were huge rhinoceros, which were again eliminated by Su Chen with a sniper rifle.
Even more outrageous is the so-called "magician". With an earthen bomb in his hand and throwing it at the side of the red pants like a grenade, Su Chen found the target, and a bullet hit a hill made of homemade bombs, and in the deafening explosion, hundreds of Persians fell screaming.
Xerxes flew into a rage and sent out his elite troops again, a war elephant unit comparable in size to a mammoth, but this time it was even worse, and before the war elephants could approach the Spartan battle formation, they were shot in the head by Su Chen. Herds of war elephants fall into the sea beneath the cliffs.
Because of Su Chen's participation and agitation, the entire battlefield has completely changed its taste. The Persians always felt that their strength was not enough, and the troops sent out either failed miserably or died inexplicably, as if there was an invisible force affecting something.
The Spartans also muttered a little, it had been two days since the war began, and the Persians had died in a pile, but only a few of the Spartans were wounded, and none of them really closed their eyes.
Instead of making them believe that this is the protection of the gods, it is better to make them trust Su Chen's existence even more, and in just two days, there are already Spartans and Greeks who regard him as a guardian spirit.
In the evening of the next day, 10,000 men of red trousers arrived from the south and met King Leonidas, who was commanding the battle.
At this point, the Spartans' elite army of 13,000 had been assembled, while the Greek coalition had not yet moved.
When asked about the location of the Greek coalition forces, the Red Pants who arrived later also said that they could not tell, except that the messengers sent by the Greeks said that the Greek city-states were ready, and that the naval warships led by Dimistokli were heading at full speed in the direction of Thermopylae.
"Sue, I need your help!" Leonidas knew that the time for a decisive battle had come, and that this was the best chance to wipe out the Persians!
Su Chen understood what he meant, he just wanted him to act as a messenger and go along the coastline to find the warships of the Greek coalition, but he was happy to help, as the end of this battle, Su Chen hoped that there would be a beginning and an end.
"Won't you lure Altai Misha out in advance?" Thinking of the femme fatale in the second part, Su Chen couldn't help but feel a little confused.
But after thinking about it carefully, I felt that it was unlikely, and Altai Misha should have remained in Persia at this time.
Considering that the female general's actor is the same person as Vespa, Su Chen doesn't even know what face to face her, he can't just shoot her down, right? If he did, he dared to say that when he met Vespa again in the future, there would definitely be a psychological shadow.
With the help of the flying machine, Su Chen soared into the sky and flew towards the distant coastline.
The warships of BC were very backward and could only move along the coastline, and if they entered the deep sea, there was a high risk that the ships would be destroyed and killed in the event of stormy weather.
Dimistocles was the commander of the coalition forces elected by the Greek city-states, but in front of Leonidas, he could only exist as a deputy, both in history and in the cinematic world.
At this time, Dimistocles was looking into the distance from the bow of the ship, and he heard someone behind him exclaim: "Look! What is that? Someone is flying in the sky! (To be continued......)
PS: The fifth and sixth shifts will be delivered at about two o'clock!
said that it will be done well in the next five days and six watches a day, and it will definitely be done!
Now, who else is not convinced?
Finally, there's one more chapter to tackle the world of Sparta!
suddenly found a problem, this kind of pure muscular man's world is really not very suitable for the protagonist...... It's a technical job!
