Chapter 815: The Cavalry Attack

Before Efati's words fell, a jingling sound appeared in Chen Yihan's ears, "Ding...... Ephiati's opinion of you is +3, and when you reach 10 opinion, you will be rewarded with a charm point permanently! ”

When Chen Yihan heard these prompts, his eyes looked over to Efati.

He couldn't help but think in his heart, Spartan 300 warriors are really a good place to brush up on favorability and charm.

"Haha! We can finally fight the Persians in the shade, haha......" Just as Chen Yihan thought this, wild laughter came from the front. Immediately, the entire Spartan procession burst into laughter. Apparently they did not take the predicament before them as a pressure, but linked it to the words of the Persian envoys.

"Get up! Their arrows were gone. ”

Leonidas commanded, and the first to rise from the earth. At the same time, his gaze was looking out of the gorge. By this time, smoke and dust had risen from the Persian camp. As the film progresses, it is clear that the Persian cavalry is about to come out of the camp and attack the gorge.

"Leonidas! Beware of the cavalry, their cavalry is about to leave the camp. ”

Leonidas heard Chen Yihan's reminder and looked at him with grateful eyes. When he saw that Ephiati was with Chen Yihan, the expression on his face was stunned at first, and then he raised his thumb up.

Seeing Leonidas's gesture, Ephiati stabbed the halberd in his hand to the side of his body! At the same time, his face was replaced with a smug and proud expression. Although he couldn't kill the enemy on the front line of the battle tonight, he had already rushed to the closest point to the front line. This proves that he can be a good fighter!

"Fold! Halberd preparation. Their cavalry is coming. ”

Leonidas didn't have time to pay attention to Ephiati's actions. As he spoke, he turned his gaze back to the outside of the gorge and tucked his sword back into his waist. After that. And he took the halberd out of the corpse of the Persian and held it in his hand.

The Spartans who followed Leonidas did the same, pulling out the halberds from the Persians. When some people couldn't find their halberds, they would also grab the Persians' spears and stand back in the queue.

The cavalry of the Persians came from the steppes to the northeast.

Many of them were Parthians and Masagetae who were skilled in equestrianism. When a large force of cavalry rushed into the gorge, the smoke and dust swept a little more violently.

Regardless of the ethnic group to which these cavalrymen belonged, when they approached the outside of the Spartan gun array. They would first throw their spears forward, and then use their sabers or tomahawks to slash their shields.

At this time, the Spartans were under the command of Leonidas. Use a formation similar to the Roman tortoiseshell formation to defend against the harassment of the Persian cavalry. When they noticed that the Persian cavalry was galloping closer, the men hiding in the middle of the gun array would thrust their halberds outwards with all their might. In this way, the cavalry that passed by the perimeter of the gun array would be assassinated by them.

"Cold! We have to find a way to help them. These Persians had heavy cavalry. ”

"Heavy cavalry?" Chen Yihan heard Ephiati say this, and his face changed to a surprised expression at that time. In the movie of the Spartan 300 Warriors. There are not many pictures of the Persian cavalry! Let's be honest. The director of that film was not someone who was good at shooting war scenes. In this way, he left a lot of room for the main god to play.

"Yes! Heavy cavalry. Both the Parthians and the Masagetaeans had heavy cavalry. ”

"Alright! I know Parthia, and I know their heavy cavalry. "As an otaku, Chen Yihan once played a game called the Roman Total War. He knew how awesome the Parthian heavy cavalry was in that game. In this way, of course, he has to worry about Leonidad's future.

Just as Chen Yihan replied, the ground trembled again.

When his gaze looked further into the distance, a heavily armored war horse had appeared at the entrance to the gorge. Although the cavalry moved slowly, both the horses and the warriors on them were all covered in metal armor. In those days. They are like tanks made of steel.

"Brother Han, what is this? How do they dress up like this? ”

"This is the heavy cavalry that Efati is talking about! They were the nemesis of the heavy infantry. Chen Yihan furrowed his brows as he spoke. After a moment's hesitation. He asked tentatively, "Little, do you still have skeletons?" ”

"And! What are we going to do? As he spoke, the Mean Wolf grabbed two skeletons from the Order of the Lord God and sent them to Chen Yihan.

"Lie, take this thing! Let's go ahead and gas it. ”

Chen Yihan shouted as he threw the skeleton into Lie's hand. After that, he ordered the Cheap Wolf, "Move closer to the Spartans' spear arrays and protect them with the Eastern Emperor's Bell!" ”

"Don't worry! Brother Han, I will. The wolf said this, but his eyes saw Ephiati's body, "Let's go!" It's time for us to help Leonidas, Ephiati. ”

"Great! I've been waiting for this day in my dreams. "Efati covered the wolf and approached the Spartan phalanx.

"Leonidas, sue your man to cover his mouth and nose! Let us go and give some food to the Persian heavy cavalry, and when they come, you will cut off the legs of their horses. When Chen Yihan passed by the Spartans along the rock wall, he shouted in a loud voice.

"Got it, Cold! My friend. ”

Leonidas replied as he looked over the rock wall. When he saw Chen Yihan and Lie running almost upright on the rock wall, there was also a shocked expression on his face. But this expression did not last long, and he turned his attention back to the command of the Spartans.

"Let's go! Lie, we need to give them some medicine. In this way, they are honest. ”

"Han, I'll listen to you, let's come." With Lie's response, Chen Yihan rushed down from the top of the rock wall. At the same time, he threw a skeleton to the ground with all his might. When the skeleton slammed into the ground and shattered, a thick green haze rose from within.

"Hui'er! Uh-huh......"

When the horse smelled the poisonous mist, he shook his head wildly. After that, they ignored the cavalry's commands, and began to spin in circles, or run wildly towards places where there was no green haze.

Although these heavily armored guys are strong in combat, when they lose control, it is really not something that the cavalry can control. Not only that, Chen Yihan and Lie, who had finished throwing skeletons, were also shuttling in the cavalry queue. Don't look at these cavalrymen with heavy armor, but there are always weak points on their bodies. It became the target of their attacks.

When Chen Yihan did this, he did not forget to remind the mean wolf to urge Leonidas to march forward.

Under the protection of the Eastern Emperor's Bell, Leonidas's Spartan phalanx was really like the god of war possessed. They were so invincible that they charged forward, and the cavalry that met them were stabbed to the ground. When they rushed into the ranks of the heavy cavalry, they broke their horses' legs and threw them to the ground.

When the heavily armored tin cans actually fell to the ground, it was difficult for them to get up from the ground on their own. In this way, the Spartans could stab them to death with their halberds.

When the Persians realized that their cavalry was unable to break through the Spartan defenses, they halted their attack. Now they had to think about a more effective way to deal with Leonidas.

Leonidas, seeing the Persians retreating, did not pursue them forward.

He only had 300 capable soldiers in his hands, and the most important thing he needed to do now was to hold the pass, and not let Xerxes's army take the hot spring pass. At the same time, of course, he was also afraid of the Persians' rain of arrows. In his opinion, his army could not be so lucky every time to dodge all these arrows.

With the order to collect the troops, the Spartans retreated as quickly as possible to the pass of Thermopylae.

After that, together with their Greek allies, they rebuilt the low wall and used it to defend against a possible Persian attack in the middle of the night. Of course, the material used to construct the low wall has been replaced by stone and Persian corpses.

While Leonidas led his troops to fight at Thermopylae, the queen was also busy in Sparta.

She's not the kind of woman who is timid or just worried about her husband. What she had to do now, of course, was to convince the council to support Leonidas's actions, and to send troops to Thermopylae to help her husband.

Fortunately, Xiaowan has been guarding the queen's side, and Xi Lang wanted to poison the child several times, but she found out in time and stopped it in secret. This made Xi Lang really hate and fear the queen! However, Syron is not an easy person to give up. The more this happened, the more Siron wanted to stop the queen's actions.

On the side of Hot Springs, the Spartans rested on the ground after a day of fierce fighting.

At this time, Leonidas leaned his body against the rock wall and sat down beside Chen Yihan. Now Ephiati was sitting on a rock near the sea, and there he was looking at the sea.

Leonidas saw that Ephiati had no intention of turning back, so he whispered to Chen Yihan, "Han, thank you." I really don't know what to do with Ephiati. ”

"Nothing! He wants to be a real fighter, and I'm just helping you give him that chance. Chen Yihan said, a smile on his face, "Leonidas, the real test is still ahead. Our battle with the Persians has only just begun. ”

"陛xià! Someone on the other side of the low wall wants to see you. ”

"Someone's coming?" Leonidas thought and stood up.

"Will they want to assassinate you?" The centurion asked nervously.

"No, it won't! The Persians were not so stupid. If they assassinate me now, the council will pass a resolution to send troops to Thermopyla, which is exactly what I want to see. ”

"Go ahead! Leonidas. It's just a meeting between kings, and you won't be in any danger. (To be continued......)
