Chapter 41: The Bloody War
Median soldiers in patterned robes, driven by officers armed with scimitars, rushed into the Spartan phalanx of spears like a tsunami.
And in front of them, there was a powerful battle array that was as unshakable as a mountain, as dangerous as a beast and bloodthirsty!
"One hundred and fifty steps!"
The archers behind the phalanx drew their bowstrings and tilted them 45 degrees to the sky.
The Medes ran as hard as they could, getting closer and closer, and they could see their faces very clearly.
"One hundred steps!"
"Put!"
Dense bows and arrows were thrown out, like salt sprinkled in the sea, splashed with a little blood, and then vanished.
"Fifty steps!"
The Spartan soldiers roared together, crouched slightly, and kicked the ground with their right foot.
The dense Medes infantry collided with the spear phalanx like a tide, and the Medoan infantry were crowded together, man by man, crowded, tightly attached together, unable to even swing their weapons.
The people in the front were squeezed into the Spartan shield by the people in the back row, the people in the back were pushed forward by the people in the back, and the Spartan phalanx was squeezed and slowly moved back.
"Steady!" Leonidas roared, struggling to resist the push and shove from the other side.
He stood at the front of the phalanx, feeling the greatest pressure, and the spear of war in his hand gave him great strength and physique, allowing him to single-handedly resist the pushing and pushing of hundreds of people.
At this time, Qin Rongshuai also opened the aura of high morale commander, holding the life scepter in one hand, with a physical fitness bonus of nearly thirty points, he could support Qin Ruishi's formation with one hand, so that they would not retreat.
Qin Rongshuai had also tried to use the spirit control ability of the golden apple to influence the Persian army before, but unfortunately, the ability of the golden apple did not work at all in the face of the murderous military formation.
"Steady!"
The speed of the Spartans' retreat gradually slowed down, and finally the whole phalanx froze.
Leonidas let out a roar, "Push! ”
Before the Spartan soldiers could exert their strength, it was Qin Ruishi who was the first to strike, and they slammed the shield in their hands forward!
"Sweep Liuhe!"
Qin Ruishi's spear stabbed out like lightning, and the Median infantry in front of them was hit by the shield and before they could stand firmly, a bloody hole was pierced out of their bodies, covering their wounds and falling to the ground with an unbelievable look.
A whole row of enemies fell to the ground like cutting wheat, and before the soldiers in the second row could react to what was happening, Qin Ruishi's spear and iron halberd had already pierced their bodies, and the seemingly solid scale armor was like paper paste, which could not resist Qin Ruishi's stabbing at all.
Then came the third, fourth, and fifth rows......
In a few breaths, a large area was already empty in front of Qin Ruishi, and the pace of the Median infantry crowding forward could not catch up with Qin Ruishi's killing speed at all.
The Leonidas and Spartan soldiers next to them were full of shock, they didn't expect this group of soldiers from the east to be so powerful.
The Spartans were fighting in their hearts, and the soldiers in the first row used their shields to withstand the onslaught of the Melian infantry, while the soldiers in the back row held spears and stabbed out from between the shields, like hedgehogs, stabbing the flesh and blood of the Medes.
Then retract, stab, retract, and so on.
This is known as the "Greek Phalanx of Spears", a wall of broad shields and stacked spears. The small shields and short spears of less than two meters of the Medes could not match the three-meter-long spears of the Spartans, and groups of Median infantry fell in front of the Spartans' long formations.
The phalanx of Spartans' spears began to advance slowly, with the soldiers in the front row stepping over the wounded Medes who had fallen to the ground, and the men in the back rows mending them with spears.
The corpses of the Medes were piled up on the ground, and the bloody stumps and broken weapons were scattered all over the ground, and the infantry behind began to hesitate, and no one would come forward as the officers shouted and cursed.
"Regroup!" The Persian officers, wielding whips and scimitars, kept whipping the soldiers, driving them to regroup, and the soldiers were frightened and began to move slowly.
In desperation, the Median infantry was withdrawn and replaced by a group of well-armed Persian infantry, who formed a 100-man phalanx of 10 men, and then, under the supervision of the officers and the roar of the trumpets, they again launched an attack on the pike.
These Persian infantry were obviously much more elite than the Medoan infantry just now, and they pressed their pace and moved forward in an unhurried formation, and when they approached, these Persian infantry shouted in unison.
Their shouts were so loud that even the trumpets of the charge were silenced.
In the face of the ferocious Persian infantry, the Spartan soldiers and Qin Ruishi were not afraid, and calmly watched the Persian infantry with hideous faces pounce up.
Like a huge wave crashing against a reef, the small reef stood still, but the wave split and splashed countless waves.
When the Persian infantry phalanx rushed up, it splashed a wave of blood.
The spear was completely unstoppable against the short spear, the shield and the scale armor, and after the spear stabbed, the sharp spearhead pierced the armor and made a dull pop and puff.
Blood began to flow, and limbs were pierced by weapons.
The Spartan soldier kept stabbing and stabbing the opponent with the spear in his hand until he poked a large hole and pierced the internal organs, until the blood of the other party dried up.
The wounded Persian infantry rolled on the ground, screaming in pain, trampled on, by their own men, by the enemy, and then gradually fell silent.
The Spartan soldiers kept advancing, wielding spears, and venting the fighting spirit burning in their hearts, as if in this way they could vent their emotions and release them through spears.
The dense formations of the two sides were stuck together, and the dense spears almost collided together, and they could no longer be wielded, but could only be simply stabbed straight. The Spartan soldiers, with each piercing, had to let out a shout in their throats.
Neatly stabbed, neatly shouted.
The shouting with a strong killing intent deeply shocked the enemy on the opposite side, and the other party who shouted was terrified, his hands and feet were sore, and he could barely hold the weapon in his hand.
Roars, shouts of killing, screams, the sound of metal grinding from the intersection of weapons, and the sound of spears piercing iron armor echoed throughout the battlefield.
Qin Rongshuai followed behind Qin Ruishi, constantly advancing, using healing techniques to constantly treat the injured Qin Ruishi, and the Qin Ruishi, who were already like wolves and tigers, were even more ferocious, slaughtering their opponents almost regardless of life and death.
It wasn't until the eyes suddenly opened up that Qin Rongshuai realized that their team had killed the Persians' formation.
The surrounding Persian infantry looked at this group of soldiers covered in flesh and blood with fear with devilish eyes, and all the Persian infantry avoided to both sides, refusing to make contact with Qin Ruishi.
Qin Rongshuai showed a hideous smile and shouted, "All the soldiers listen to the order!" ”
"The last general!" , Qin Ruishi's body once again ignited with a soaring killing intent.
"Kill me back!"
Qin Rongshuai waved the scepter of life and rushed towards the back of the Persian infantry phalanx.
