After nightfall, Chen Yihan, Leonidas, and the others were finally squeezed by the Persians into a valley in a gorge. Although the valley is small, it has only a narrow entrance. As a result, it became extremely difficult for the Persians to attack directly from the ground.

Besides, it's nightfall now. Whether it is Chen Yihan and others, or the Persian army, it has become extremely difficult for them to continue fighting. In this way, Xerxes gave the order to stop the attack. Unlike before, he did not withdraw his troops into the camp, but stopped them all on the gorges and ridges.

Xerxes did this for a simple purpose!

On the one hand, he didn't want to wipe out the results of Tongguò's bloody battle; On the other hand, they have a large number of people after all, and they can take advantage of the close proximity of the two sides to find an opportunity to launch a sneak attack on the Spartans at any time.

It should be said that Xerxes's strategy was very clever.

It was only for this reason that these Spartans, who had been tired all day, did not dare to fall asleep lightly. Together, there are less than a hundred of them now, and most of them are wounded. They all know that tomorrow's sunrise will be the last sun they will ever see.

"Han, thank you! With your help, we were able to live one more day. ”

Leonida leaned next to Chen Yihan and whispered. As he spoke, he looked to the top of the valley. At this time, although the Persians there did not launch a sneak attack, there was a faint flickering of cold light.

"Leonidas, what are you polite to me? I should say that I have learned a lot from you. This is ...... for my future Hehe, if we have a future......"

Chen Yihan only said half of his words, and then reversed the meaning.

Of course, he and Xiaowan have a future! According to the development of the war. The Spartans, with their help, should be able to hold out until noon tomorrow. In this way, they can complete their mission satisfactorily and leave here. As for Leonidas, they ......

When Chen Yihan thought of this, he could only let out a helpless sigh.

"Han, do you believe that people will have an afterlife? If I had an afterlife, I would definitely go to the distant Xia Kingdom to find you! When the time comes. We are still doing this as we do now, friends. ”

When Chen Yihan heard Leonidas say this, he smiled and teased, "Leonidas." My dear friend! What if I were born in Sparta in the next life? ”

"Sparta?" Leonidas was stunned at first! Then he burst out laughing, "Haha! How could you have been born in Sparta? You should have been born in the country of Xia. ”

Leonidas said as he looked at Lie, Xiaowan, and Cheap Wolf. "There are so many talented people in your Xia country. It must be a very powerful country. A kingdom like yours is not to be bullied! Therefore, you must still be born in the country of Xia, and we Sparta ......"

When Leonidas said this, his head and neck couldn't help but droop.

Apparently he was worried about his wife and children, and worried about their future. After all, when Greece lost its barrier to the Thermothermal Pass, it was completely exposed to the Persians. In this way, their fate is naturally worrying.

"Leonidas, rest assured! Cyron is dead. The Spartan parliament had already mobilized for war. It's just ......," Chen Yihan said, leaning his head against the wall. He knew that whatever the decision of the Spartan parliament was. Leonidas couldn't have made it to that day.

"They're going to send out their troops after the festival of sacrifice and fight the Persians, right?" What Chen Yihan couldn't say, but Leonidas said directly.

"Yes! That's true. Not only Sparta, but also Athens and other Greek city-states would join the war. Until then, Athens will be conquered by the Persians, and Sparta will be spared for your bravery. Because the Persians were afraid to fight the Spartans. ”

Leonidas listened attentively to Chen Yihan.

Although Leonidas was not a superstitious oracle from the bottom of his heart, he listened to Chen Yihan's words now as if he had heard an oracle. Not only that, but he also believed that the oracle that Chen Yihan brought to him must be correct!

"In that case, should we hold on here a little longer?" Antinos interjected and asked.

"Of course! If we can change this history on our own, then of course we should continue to fight. If only the Persians could be stopped by us until after the feast of sacrifices......"

Chen Yihan closed his mouth tightly halfway through his encouraging words. Obviously, he knew very well in his heart that it was impossible to accomplish this task with just a hundred of them. Among other things, they were besieged by the Persians in this valley, which had neither food nor medicine, and even if they did not fight, they would have died if they were just hungry.

The Spartans were simple-minded, but that doesn't mean they were all stupid!

When they listened to Chen Yihan halfway through his words and watched him scan everyone's faces with a sly gaze, they understood what he was thinking. Then the men burst out laughing. With laughter, their eyes looked to the top of the valley.

At this moment, their gaze was not without the slightest reason.

For the Persians on the hill, when they heard the laughter of the Spartans, shot cold arrows downward. It's just that the arrows they shot were blocked by the protective shield of the Eastern Emperor Bell.

At dawn the next day, the sun rose quietly.

Although Chen Yihan and the others are now in the valley, this place is close to the ocean after all. At dawn, the whole valley was still immersed in mist.

As Chen Yihan opened his eyes, he found that Leonidas and the Spartans were still asleep. Obviously, the days of fighting had cost them too much of their body. Although these people persevered until late last night, when they knew that the protective shield of the Eastern Emperor Bell could help them save their lives, they were completely at ease.

"Cold, are we going to fight the Persians?"

Xiao Wan woke up earlier than Chen Yihan. At the moment, she was sitting leaning against the entrance of the valley. She was joined by several Spartan wounded. It was no longer possible for them to participate in daytime battles, so they took on the task of keeping watch at night. In the hearts of the Spartans, they did not give up the will to fight as long as they lived.

"Don't be in a hurry! If the Persians don't provoke us, then we'll let Leonidas sleep a little longer. Chen Yihan said as he turned his head to look at Leonidas. At the moment, he even wished that the sun would rise more slowly. But his hopes were destined to come to naught.

"Han, can you see the sea in the distance?"

"Yes! But what do I think it's for? When Chen Yihan said this, the person had already leaned over to Xiao Wan and sat down. At the same time, a yawn ran out of his mouth. It seemed that his body was also tired. Now he can wake up, but he still has things to remember and people to worry about.

"I see a boat on the sea! How nice it would be if we could go to the sea and leave here in those boats? ”

Chen Yihan heard Xiao Wan's almost dreamy words, but nodded slightly.

He also didn't want Leonidas and the others to die. If he had such an opportunity, he would have liked to have been able to leave alive with these Spartans.

But just as Chen Yihan was sitting there looking forward to a better future, a terrible thought suddenly appeared in his mind! Boat? There is a war going on here, how can there be a ship nearby? If there were any ships in the vicinity, there would be only one case, and those in the sea were Persian ships.

"Xiaowan, look forward to Taniguchi! I'm going to wake up Leonidas. Wait until the Persians are going to bombard us with siege engines on their ships......"

Before Chen Yihan could finish speaking, a whistling sound came from the direction of the sea.

At the same time, a boulder crashed into the cliff face of the valley. With the sound of the impact, the screams were immediately heard from above the valley. Apparently the stone bombarded the Persians hiding on the ridge.

"Boom! Boom, bang......"

After that, more and more dense stones and giant javelins blasted into the valley.

Under the protection of the Eastern Emperor Bell, although these things did not hit the Spartans, they woke them all from their sleep. Not only that, but as the boulders and javelins fell, the protective shield of the Eastern Emperor Bell was also rattling. Apparently it could not withstand the impact and bombardment of these behemoths.

"Brother Han, hurry up and find a way! We're running out of gems. At this moment, the voice of the cheap wolf came from the team channel.

When Chen Yihan heard this, his face became gloomy at that time.

Without the protection of the Eastern Emperor's Bell, these Spartans would have died. It seems that he must go to the sea and destroy all the ships in the sea.

"Boom! Knock knock knock ......"

Just as Chen Yihan was thinking this, the sound of war drums also came from outside the mouth of the valley. Immediately, the wounded soldiers guarding the mouth of the valley cried out, "Leonidas, the Persians are killing us!" ”

"Spartans! Race up, move forward, fight them. ”

Leonidas heard the call of the wounded soldier and immediately grasped the halberd that had fallen to the side in his hand. After that, he gave the order to the Spartans in the valley to fight.

As the Spartans gathered from their respective positions, the Persians on the hill shot down a dense barrage of arrows and rattled the shield of the Eastern Emperor's bell.

"Brother Han, no! You'll have to find a way to get rid of the archers above, or you'll be wiped out by the Spartans. The cry of the mean wolf was heard again.

When Chen Yihan heard this, he frowned tightly.

Just as he was about to spread his wings and fly into the air, Xiao Wan evolved his body into the state of an awakened person. Immediately, she said in a mischievous tone, "Cold, you go up there; I'm going to settle the ship in the sea. Have you forgotten that I can fly? (To be continued......)
