Chapter 594: The King of Slaughter
If the Greek infantry chased and slashed like ordinary people wielding sharp kitchen knives, then the Protectorate cavalry corps was like a group of professional executioners, and they were not killing people, they were cutting wheat.
Whether it's stabbing the back of a rout in the back with a spear or a lance, or severing one head after another with a scimitar, it's so easy.
More than half a year of hard work and oppression, as well as the confidence of victory and the terrifying light of faith, made each of them turn into a killing puppet.
Experienced veterans became more ambitious the more they killed, especially those who used scimitars, and they were surprised to find that this scimitar had collided with so many weapons, killed so many people, chopped off so many bones, and should have had gaps or injuries, but it was still intact and shiny.
That is the power of the light of faith.
There is no problem with the weapons, the physical strength is still there, and the morale is high.
There is only one thing in the heart of every cavalryman.
Kill!
Kill!
Kill!
The generals who were at the front occasionally looked back.
At first, they found nothing.
But as he ran, he turned back more and more frequently, and his expression slowly became a mixture of shame and remorse.
Because they found that this rout was completely different from before.
Persia has had its failures in the past, but no matter what, there will be a large number of people who will escape and be able to regroup soon after, after all, human strength is limited.
Moreover, the deserter only needs to escape, and the pursuer has to constantly slash and kill, and the consumption of physical strength far exceeds that of the deserter, so the pursuit will never exist forever.
But today, it's completely different.
From the very beginning of the breakout of the Persian army, the Greek cavalry slaughtered among the deserters.
To this day, it is still the case, and the two sides have not distanced themselves at all.
Some of the Persian soldiers really couldn't escape, and formed a formation to protect themselves, but what awaited them was the terrifying charge and chiseling of the cavalry, and the formation collapsed in an instant, followed by the flaming blades that came and went, continuously.
The Persian generals saw this scene.
That's what whales look like when they're fishing.
The fish were completely powerless to resist.
Even if it is an undead army without any pain, at this moment, you can feel the sharp pain in the depths of your soul.
This is a battle that has never been fought before, a war that has never been seen before.
It was unlike anything they expected.
Those evil hellhorsemen don't seem to be enemies of this plane at all, and they don't seem to be butchers of this era at all.
They thought that two million soldiers were more than 200,000 Greeks could kill.
But now, they know they were wrong.
"Run! Run up the hill! They won't be able to go up the mountain right away! β
"Run! Run......"
Some of the golden warriors ran away, looking behind them, shouting and crying.
Xerxes faced Proguan, his body flying upside down, his face still handsome, but his eyes were churning.
He stared at Su Ye deadly.
Eventually, he suddenly turned around.
He was afraid that he would not be able to control it, so he personally did it to Su Ye.
The Persians kept fleeing, and the Greeks kept chasing and killing.
Slowly, the physical strength of some of the war horses was exhausted, but the physical strength of the cavalry was still there!
The cavalrymen jumped off their horses and continued the pursuit.
Eventually, one Persian general after another gave up and fled, and turned back.
"Persians who are not afraid of death, go back with me!"
"We, we need to protect more people!"
"We, to stop the Greeks!"
"Break off with me!"
"The Persians are the true people of God!"
"We can fail, but we can't watch our compatriots being slaughtered by the people of the alien gods!"
"If you don't have a wife or children at home, follow me, pick up your weapons, and block those devils!"
"With our lives, drag the Greek devil!"
"Move closer to me and block them!"
"Persians, fearless!"
One after another Persian generals returned, shouting desperately, and they returned against the current to meet the Greek cavalry.
More and more Persians, as if inspired, followed these generals and began to break off.
Su Ye didn't seem to see it at first, and didn't care about those people at all.
However, when more than thirty golden warriors organized an army of fifty thousand broken queens, Su Ye looked at them with complicated eyes, and then raised his head to look at the back of Xerxes who was getting farther and farther away.
"You give up your most precious treasure, I laugh."
Subsequently, Su Ye pointed to the 30,000 Persian army.
"The whole army obeys the order, kill them all, and end this battle!"
The word spread to the whole army.
The cavalry everywhere gave up the pursuit one after another and converged on Su Ye.
Eventually, less than 40,000 cavalry arrived, and most of the rest of the cavalry had dismounted, as their horses were exhausted.
Su Ye ordered again.
"Charging and killing them all is the greatest respect for the Persian warriors!"
"Charge!"
"Charge!"
The Greek cavalry formed a torrent of hell and rushed towards the 50,000 Persian generals.
In a short time, all 50,000 people were killed.
They didn't back down any longer.
Mountains of corpses were piled up.
"Bury these 50,000 people, erect a monument for them on the hillside, and write only one sentence."
"Here are buried Persians who did not flee."
After speaking, Su Ye used the magic beard to announce the collection of troops, preparation, and inventory.
Hearing the hurried call to collect their troops, the fleeing Persians breathed a sigh of relief, but they kept running, and kept running.
The magicians flying high in the air saw the direction of Gilgamesh's army, and an army with torches rushed from afar.
They looked back at the Greeks, who had already collected their troops, and sighed.
Cheers of joy rang out throughout the battlefield, diluting the night.
Every Greek had a look of joy on his face.
More than 200,000 people, defeated the 2 million Persian army!
It was the largest battle in human history.
And the veterans also realized that today, it is destined to go down in history.
Because, this is probably the most killed battle in human history.
As far as the eye can see, the corpses of the Persians are paved all the way.
The Greek soldiers were slowly mending their swords, in order to avoid accidents, but also to give the enemy a respectful and painful experience.
The cavalry all dismounted, dragged their tired bodies, led the tired horses, and slowly walked towards Puluoguan.
It was only then that the cavalry realized that their horses were so exhausted that, not surprisingly, they would not be able to fight for the next few days.
Moreover, some of the war horses have foamed at the mouth and even fainted and fell to the ground.
Many generals found that the number of deaths of war horses even exceeded that of cavalry.
A handful of veterans and generals were not only not happy, but worried.
Once the Persians continue to attack the city in the next few days, ordinary war horses will not be able to fight at all.
The cavalry was getting closer and closer to the city gates, and suddenly, all the generals received an order.
Then all the generals of the cavalry regiment showed expressions of disbelief, and the joy on their faces lit up the night.
"All the cavalry obeyed the order and gathered at the Heavenly Fortress on the left side of the main gate of Puluoguan, and all the warriors and war horses should stop at the Heavenly Fortress for 600 counts, and after counting, leave immediately."
Subsequently, other infantry generals also issued the same order in ecstasy.
Above Propass, all the generals, including General Mi-ThΓ©ade, were laughing from ear to ear.
These generals did not lose their temper at the great victory, but they rejoiced at this small order.
"No wonder, no wonder! It is worthy of General Mitaide, worthy of Su Ye! I apologize now for my previous misjudgment! β
"After all, we know too little about this high-level power, and we have forgotten the power of the Heavenly Fortress!"
"Yes, if Su Ye didn't say it, we didn't know that the Heavenly Fortress could not only heal injuries, but also restore physical strength, not only help people, but also help all lives!"
"Praise the Heavenly Fortress, praise Su Ye!"
"It's too strong, it's so strong! In this war, Su Ye will definitely be able to get the Healer's Medal, right? It's a pity that the Healer's Medal can't be overlapped, otherwise he could get hundreds! β
"Healer's Medal? Your horizons are too shallow! Su Ye will definitely get the medal of the King of Slaughter! The last one was General Miteaud, and even General Themis failed to get it. β
"yes, how did I forget this! Only when the general personally leads the army to kill the number of enemies in Greek history can he obtain the King of Slaughter. If I remember correctly, when Mithiades won the King of Slayer, he killed more than 200,000 enemies! That's about ten years, which is already a miracle, after all, after the golden rank, it can't be counted as the king of slaughter. The number of kills led by Su Ye this time ......"
The conversation on the city walls came to an abrupt end.
Mitead showed a crying and laughing expression, and said, "In other words, the number of enemies killed by Su Ye's leaders in this field not only exceeds that of me back then, but may even exceed that of my life?" β
The generals looked at the corpses of the Persians all over the ground in front of them, and they didn't know how to answer for a while.
In fact, Greece has wars with surrounding powers, or fights with other city-states, and the intensity is very low, and a war with thousands of dead people is already a big battle.
But this time, it was the largest battle in human history.
"Wait for the result, what do you think, how many cavalry legions have killed this time?"
"At the beginning, the charge didn't kill much, but when chasing and killing the Persian rout, those cavalry were crazy and never stopped, even if one person only killed five, he could kill 500,000."
"I think that's a bit conservative. If it is an ordinary soldier, five times the damage is considered the limit. But let's not forget that we have many warriors with divine powers, and on the Persian side there are a large number of light infantry without divine powers. Especially the Hell Demon King Beast, it jumped a little, and in a slightly dense crowd, it was thousands of human lives. It's a hundred times less, isn't it? It itself may have killed and injured 100,000 people. β
"Actually, we can recall that the general area covered by the Persian army at the beginning and at the end of its escape seems to have been reduced by half......"
"Don't guess, let's wait for the news, wait a while...... Well...... It is estimated that the inventory will not be until midnight. Do magicians have the magic to count? β
"No matter how great a magician is, I'm afraid he didn't expect this scene, but the legendary masters should be able to easily carve a special magic array to count the number of people."
"Wait a little longer."
"Heavenly Fortress, what a good thing. Legend has it that it is a two-in-one offense and defense, and now I know that it is a three-in-one offense, defense and healing. β
"You see, the first group of people has come out, and I remember that the man was covered in wounds, and now only a shallow scar remains, and even his horse has regained its strength."
"After all, a complete elemental lord is equivalent to a demigod."
"What a miracle......
On the city wall, the generals looked at Su Ye in the city below with convincingness
