Chapter 810: Save the Village
That night, Leonidas's party set up camp at a place near the coast.
If you go further from here, you will find a mountain range next to the sea. Onsen Seki is located in the middle of this mountain range. It was a narrow pass right next to the coast. As for the name of the hot spring pass, it is because there are two hot springs that do not freeze all year round.
"Lie, little, it's time for us to go."
At midnight, Chen Yihan sat up from the felt cushion and looked at the Lie and the cheap wolf beside him.
"Brother Han, this is the middle of the night, right? Where are we going? The cheap wolf listened to Chen Yihan's words, yawning, and his face was full of sleepy expressions.
"We're going to the village ahead." Chen Yihan responded in a low voice.
As the plot of the movie develops, they will walk to a village in the early morning of the next day. The village would be burned down by the Persian reconnaissance forces. The entire village, with the exception of a young child who escaped for his life, would have been killed by the Persian reconnaissance force.
"To the village? Can't you walk after dawn? The cheap wolf said this, and finally sat up. At the same time, his eyes were looking out of the tent. At this moment, it was still pitch black outside.
"No! In that case, all the people in the village in front of us would die. Chen Yihan shook his head in response to the words of the cheap wolf.
According to the development of the plot of the movie, the dead in this village have no other purpose than to show the cruelty of the Persian army and serve a certain motivational effect. Don't look at the fact that the main god did not issue a task, but Chen Yihan felt that there was a good deed task waiting for him there. After all, let innocent people live in war. It is also what a do-good doer should do.
"Alright! Let's go. Lie took the lead in answering Chen Yihan's words and got up from the ground.
When the cheap wolf saw Lie standing up, of course he wouldn't object to his Tiyì. Such. He yawned and got up from the ground. Then, they left the tent together behind Chen Yihan.
Despite the strict military discipline of the Spartans, this was not the case with their Greek allies.
After all, this is not real history, but the scene plot in the movie. Therefore, it would have been a breeze for them to leave the camps defended by these friendly Greek troops.
Chen Yihan led Lie and the Cheap Wolf forward, and it didn't take long for a village to appear in front of them.
At this time. The village was so quiet that there was no sound at all. Apparently the Persian reconnaissance forces have not yet arrived here.
"Cold, what should we do next?"
"Go into the village! Before dawn, the Persians will definitely come here. We'll just have to hold the entrance to the village when the time comes. Just keep them out of the village and give the villagers time to escape. Chen Yihan replied in a low voice.
"Don't you have to kill this scout team?" Mean Wolf's eyes widened and he asked.
Chen Yihan looked at the village, then at the bay not far away, and then turned back to look at the Greek military camp. Subsequently. He shook his head slightly. He thought about it and responded, "No need! We just need to buy enough time for the villagers. β
Lie and the cheap wolf were a little puzzled when they heard Chen Yihan say this, but none of them asked much.
They knew that Chen Yihan knew more about the plot of the mission than they did. Since he said so, it must be that doing it will do them the most good.
Under the leadership of Chen Yihan, Lie and the Cheap Wolf passed through the village and walked in the direction of the entrance of the village leading to the hot spring pass.
When they arrived, the sound of horses' hooves came from the coastal gorges. Obviously, Chen Yihan's words are not wrong! Now the Persian reconnaissance force has arrived in this direction.
"Let's go! Go to the entrance of the village. Wait until the next fight starts. Let's make as many noises as we can. Chen Yihan whispered as he took the lead in running towards the outside of the village.
Don't wait for his footsteps to stand firm. The cavalry of the Persian reconnaissance unit appeared right in front of them.
"Captain! There are people in front. A Persian cavalryman spotted the three of Chen Yihan's, pointed at them and shouted loudly.
As he spoke, a tall guy with a gauze scarf and a tall figure rushed in front of Chen Yihan on a war horse. After that, the rest of the Persian cavalry came up from behind.
"Who are you? Why in the middle of the night in this place? β
"We are merchants from Xia Kingdom, and we are now preparing to return to Xia Kingdom on foot. That's right, General! Who are you? Don't you have to sleep in the middle of the night? Chen Yihan yawned as he spoke, and then looked at the other Persian cavalry.
"Xia Guo?" It was a strange country to the cavalry captain, and he had never heard of it.
"Yes! General, our country is in the East. With a shy smile, the cheap wolf walked up from behind Chen Yihan. Compared with Chen Yihan, he looks more like a businessman. It should be said that he was quite accurate about his positioning earlier, so it is no wonder that he will work in the slums of the main god space.
"Oriental?" When the cavalry captain heard this, a disdainful expression appeared on his face.
As he spoke, he straightened up and pointed his horsewhip in the direction of the bay, "The kingdoms of the East have become vassals of our Persian Empire. Your little Xia kingdom should also belong to our Persia, right? β
Listening to what the cavalry captain said, the cheap wolf nodded with a dry smile, and looked at Chen Yihan.
Like Lie, although he had heard Chen Yihan tell the story of the earth world, he couldn't figure out the relationship between Persia and Xia. In fact, it is impossible for them to figure out this relationship! After all, this is the ancient world, not the modern world in which Chen Yihan lives.
Chen Yihan saw the eyes of the cheap wolf, but he had a faint smile on his face, "General, our Xia country is in the east of Persia, it is a free country, and it does not belong to Persia. β
"East?" When the cavalry captain heard Chen Yihan say this, a blank expression appeared on his face.
At that time, there was very little communication between Persia and the Xia Kingdom, and it was natural for them not to know the existence of the Xia Kingdom. It's just that the arrogant cavalry captain then pursed his mouth even more. At the same time, his horsewhip flew, "guy!" I think you are a spy of Greece, and you want to spy on our Persian military, right?
Before the words fell, the cavalry captain's whip fell on Chen Yihan's body.
Chen Yihan noticed the cavalry captain's actions, and his body immediately jumped to the side. At the same time, his hand tugged at the whip. With such an action, the body of the cavalry captain couldn't help but shake. After that, he fell from his horse to the ground.
"Give it to me! Grab the three of them. β
After the cavalry captain fell off his horse, he shouted loudly. With a shout, his body rolled off the ground. But before his body could stand firm, Chen Yihan's hand added strength and pulled him to the ground again.
When the Persian cavalry heard the order of the cavalry captain, they immediately jumped off their horses. At the same time, they also pulled out the scimitar from their bodies and attacked Chen Yihan and the others.
"Lie, cheap wolf, let's go!"
When Chen Yihan saw the Persian cavalry move, he shouted loudly. With this command, he kicked his foot into the body of the cavalry captain who was pulling at him. With his kick, the cavalry captain's figure staggered backwards.
"Kill! Kill ......"
When Chen Yihan saw the cavalry captain fall to the ground, he shouted loudly. With the sound of shouting, he aimed his fist at another Persian cavalryman who was coming at him. When the Persian cavalryman fell to the ground, he shouted in a higher voice, "The Persians are coming!" Everyone, run for your life. β
When Lie and the cheap wolf saw Chen Yihan doing this, they also shouted like a cat.
Don't look at the cheap wolf's fighting ability, but his body is agile enough. In this way, it was not easy for the Persian cavalry to reach him.
Besides, they were only confronted by the Persian reconnaissance troops, not combat units. Of course, these people's melee abilities will also be a little worse. After all, their main task is reconnaissance, not combat. Scouts of that era were not on the same footing as modern scouts.
When the people in the village heard the shouts of Chen Yihan and the others, they naturally woke up from their sleep.
When some of them found out that there was a fight outside the village, they quickly packed up their soft bags, beckoned their families and neighbors to flee for their lives inside the mountain. It didn't take much effort for the Greek people in this village to run clean.
Lie noticed that the village was becoming quieter, so he whispered to Han on the team channel, "Han, the people in the village have been evacuated, what should we do next?" β
"We? Run for your life! Chen Yihan said as he lowered the Persian cavalry in front of him to the ground. Then he rolled up and ran towards the Greek barracks. When Lie and Cheap Wolf saw him doing this, they naturally followed closely behind.
When the Persian cavalry saw the three of them fleeing, they first helped the cavalry captain up, and then they pursued them together for a while. When they found out that Chen Yihan and the three had gone into hiding, they gave up the pursuit of them.
That night, Chen Yihan and the others returned to Leonidas's barracks.
The next day, they continued their march towards Thermopylae as if nothing had happened. As they passed through the village, they discovered that it had been sacked and burned to the ground by Persian scouts.
The villagers, who had returned from the mountains, saw Leonidas's procession appear, and they all gathered around. At this time, they inevitably blamed the Persians for their atrocities.
When Chen Yihan saw the surviving villagers in front of him, he turned his gaze to the big tree at the entrance of the village. According to the plot of the movie, these villagers will be crucified to the tree, but now they have survived.
Without waiting for Chen Yihan's gaze to turn back, the cheap wolf leaned into his ear and whispered, "Brother Han, the main god didn't give a reward!" β
"Bastard! If there is no reward, you won't save people? With the words, Chen Yihan hit his hand at the head of the cheap wolf. At this moment, a jingling sound came from inside the Order of the Lord God...... (To be continued......)
