CHAPTER XVIII

"Hot Spring Pass, there are still only three hundred Spartan warriors to defend, and most of the troops have been sent to defend the passage behind!"

Ye Ling thought about it carefully, and also felt that it was reasonable, the terrain here in Hot Spring Pass was indeed extremely dangerous, with thousands of cliffs on one side and the vast sea on the other. Along a gentle mountain road by the sea, and then ahead is the main battlefield of this battle - the hot spring pass, it is on both sides of the middle of a vertical cliff up to hundreds of meters high, but the place that can accommodate Guò is only a dozen meters wide, in front of the pass on a relatively wide flat land, three hundred Spartan warriors armed with round shields, spears, armor and red cloaks are waiting for the battle.

In such a dangerous terrain, even if there were only three hundred Spartan warriors, it would be more than enough to hold on for a period of time before their bodies were exhausted.

I have to say that this traverser is very similar to the original king in other aspects, except for changing some things, with the same heroism, prudence, and wisdom.

Perhaps, it has something to do with the body he possesses. The Spartans admired the spirit of force, and the entire Spartan society was a large military camp with strict management. When the Spartan baby croaked to the ground, he was carried to the elders for examination, and if the elders thought he was unhealthy, he was thrown into a deserted infant farm in the wilderness; The mother bathed the baby with strong liquor, and if he had convulsions or lost consciousness, it proved that he was not physically strong, and let him die, because he could not grow into a good warrior.

The deformed Spartan was an exception, and the love of his parents took him away from the Spartan city-state and trained him as a warrior. The Spartans had war blood in their bones that made him eager to return to the battlefield, but when he made this request today, he was mercilessly executed by the king.

Boys are raised by their parents until they are 7 years old. From an early age, parents pay attention to cultivating their habits of not crying, not picky eaters, not noisy, not afraid of darkness, and not afraid of loneliness. After the age of 7, the boy was integrated into the team to lead a collective military life. They demanded absolute obedience to their opponents, increased courage, physique, and cruelty, and they practiced running, throwing discus, boxing, fencing, and fighting.

In order to train the children in obedience and patience, they are whipped once a year during the festival worship. They knelt before the temple, their fiery whips raining down, but they were not allowed to beg for mercy, to shout, or even to make a sound.

Boys reach the age of 12 and are integrated into the junior team. Their lives were even harsher, they were not allowed to wear shoes, they wore only one coat in winter and summer, and they were abandoned in the wilderness until they were twenty years old, when they returned to the city-state and were incorporated into the official army.

Of the ten, only two or three of them survived, and it is no exaggeration to say that every adult Spartan man crawled out of blood and corpses, and they did not use hoes, nor scythes, but only spears and swords in their hands! They have seen many more dead people in their lives than they have lived......

What flows in the bones of the Spartans is the blood of war, and every Spartan soldier longs for a glorious home for himself - to die on the battlefield!

How much does the body affect a person, Ye Ling has a personal experience, he can suck human blood without any psychological burden, and he wants to vomit when he sees human food......

If so, then the actions of this traverser can be understood, maybe he was also an iron-blooded real man before the crossing? Or forced to be helpless? …… Wait, it's all possible.

On a steep peak in Hot Springs, the figure of the white-clad assassin stood still, as if merging with the surrounding rocks, observing the situation below.

There was no sense of zài at all, not even a Spartan warrior and the Greeks who came to reconnoiter did not notice that there was another person not far behind them.

At some point, dark clouds from unknown sources have quietly blanketed the sky when no one is looking.

The storm is coming......

In the human world, a fleet of 500,000 troops and thousands of ships is already unimaginably behemoth, but this qiē is as small as ants in front of nature.

Fierce winds unleashed huge waves, mercilessly throwing large ships that could carry hundreds of people into the air, leaving them to fall to the surface and shatter to pieces. The sea was littered with broken broken wood, floating corpses, and human beings wailing in despair.

Purple lightning filled the entire sky, and a torrential rain of shouts washed away the large and fragile fleet. With wave after wave of huge waves more than ten meters high, one warship after another turned into wreckage on the sea.

This is the opening scene of the movie, where the Persian army suffers a natural disaster before they can board the 6 and go ashore, which severely demoralizes their high morale.

"Nearly a hundred warships were lost, although they accounted for a tenth of the army, but ...... These are motley armies sent by vassals. ”

Ye Ling is the one who knows the battlefield best, and after gathering as much information as possible, he has to determine his actions based on them.

Perhaps the enthusiastic Spartan warriors did not notice that their beloved king was still frowning.

"Judging from the current situation, the battle at Hot Springs Pass should be almost the same as the original plot, and the main breakthrough is still in that secret path."

Ye Ling's gaze was suddenly shifted to another battlefield.

With Ye Ling's consciousness, the watch began to collect information on the battlefield on the other side.

"Seven hundred Spartan warriors, wait, how can there be only seven hundred? And what about the thousands of coalition troops? ”

Ye Ling once again focused his search on the hot springs, and then found thousands of Athenian soldiers behind a high wall of Persian corpses and stones.

"I'll just say, even if that traverser is Long Aotian, he wouldn't dare to do this, three hundred people, and it's not ...... making movies."

Although there are only 700 people in the rear to defend, it is a mountain path full of thorns, and it is extremely difficult to march, and it is already the limit to send one or two thousand people over, plus the geographical advantage, if you want to hold on, it is even easier than the hot spring pass defended by more than 7,000 people!

The main force of this battle was the 6th Army, and the time when the Greek Navy really played its role was three months later.

The Persian 6th Army, about 300,000 men, after a tired march, was stationed in a clearing four or five miles away from Thermopylae to rest, preparing to start the attack the next day.

After Ye Ling memorized these circumstances, he went down the mountain to find a cave for him to hide from the sun during the day.

The climbing ability of excellent assassins is quite outstanding, and this mountain that is difficult for ordinary people to reach is as easy to move as if it were flat ground under Ye Ling's nimble hands and feet.

The next day, Ye Ling, who had already rested all night, adjusted his work and rest time, hid his body in a hidden cave to avoid the sun, and focused his attention on the light screen of the retina.

The watch was able to track optical signals through guò, so as to project the image of the entire battlefield into Ye Ling's retina, allowing him to grasp first-hand information at any time.

When the envoy sent by King Xerxes I of Persia to persuade him to surrender was cut off his arm, the enraged king immediately ordered a general to lead an army of several thousand men to crush the ants that stood in his way.

The general, riding a group of tall horses, surrounded by thousands of infantry, came to a halt about a hundred meters or so from the Spartan phalanx, and looked at the other side with a look of pity in his eyes.

Then, just as in the movie, a spear flew out of the phalanx and struck him in the chest with an accuracy that was invisible to the naked eye.

However, the difference with the plot of the movie is that the general did not die immediately, a distance of 100 meters is already the limit of long-haired throwing, and the sharp spear tip pierced the general's breastplate and pierced into his left chest, causing him to fall directly from the horse, out of pain.

Several infantry hurriedly carried the general back for treatment, and with the sound of a desolate trumpet, the enraged Persian army began a general attack under the orders of an adjutant.
