After the attack on the second day was thwarted, the Persian army became silent, which gave the Spartans a short rest.
Gu Shaoyan and Lu Rover used an excuse to check out the trail that could go around the back of Hot Spring Pass. After leaving Hot Spring Pass, they found Tian Yingnan and the Greek rebels who had been quietly waiting there near the trail.
The fighting outside seemed to have nothing to do with this place. In just two days, they used weapons and tools to carve out countless caves, large and small, on the cliffs between Hot Spring Pass. Each cave had three or five people. A Greek army was stationed in it. Gu Shaoyan and Lu Rover spent a lot of effort in this maze-like cave before finding Tian Yingnan and his group under the guidance of two Greek rebels.
"What do you want to do? I want to imitate the People's Liberation Army and want to engage in tunnel warfare." Lu Rover asked as soon as he saw Tian Yingnan.
Tian Yingnan nodded noncommittally and responded calmly: "If we can pass the border safely this way, that's fine, but I don't think this can block the path of a million-strong army!" She turned over the tree in her hand with great concentration. A hare was skewered on a tree branch. It was roasted to about eighty percent done. The skin of the hare was roasted golden brown. Drops of fat mixed with the aroma of game filled the small cave. " How about a taste of my roasted hare?"
Gu Shaoyan unceremoniously tore off a rabbit leg, took a big bite, and said while chewing: "To be honest, your craftsmanship is really no good! The skin is burnt, but the inside is cold, and it looks golden and pretty. , but it tastes half-cooked and still bloody" Obviously, Tian Yingnan is not a person who accepts opinions humbly. Seeing Tian Yingnan not looking up and rolling his eyes at him, Gu Shaoyan pretended not to notice and continued: "The purpose of our two coming here is not to eat hare and barbecue, but we just want to ask what are the plans of a large group of you? "
Tian Yingnan snorted coldly and said: "You don't need to worry about this. I will seize the opportunity and take action at the best time. You don't need to think too much, just protect your own life. Don't worry. I won't take action against myself. I treat the first golden main quest as a joke, at least I won¡¯t do anything you are worried about before the quest has a clue.¡±
Gu Shaoyan glanced at her coldly, nodded and said: "I hope so, we should leave. I'm afraid Leondanis will become suspicious if we are too late." After saying that, he turned around and left without stopping. The purpose of coming here is just to take a look at them and ask them what their plans are. But the result was as expected. Asking means not asking!
"If possible, save Estino's life!"
Gu Shaoyan shrugged and did not answer, while Lu Rover laughed deliberately. But Tian Yingnan didn't care whether they heard what he said or whether they would do what he said. Shi Shiran returned to the cave and continued to barbecue
When they were far away from the place where the Greek rebels and Tian Yingnan were stationed. Land Rover muttered in a low voice: "We are eating and sleeping outside, working hard to survive, but they are better off hiding in a mountain den watching a movie and eating popcorn. It's really unreasonable."
"I'm envious. You can do it too." Gu Shaoyan recommended without caring.
While the two were talking, a Spartan warrior, Estino, the son of the captain of the three hundred Spartan warriors, walked towards them! He was also the first Spartan to die on the battlefield in the original plot.
"Haha, you are here, how are those Greeks?" Obviously, Estino did not know what his fate would be, "The king said that their cavalry is about to arrive, so be ready to fight! "
"Hehe, don't worry, I promise to kill more Persians than you - at least one!" Lu Rover grinned and hugged Estino's shoulders affectionately.
Although he is the captain's son, he does not receive any special treatment because of his status. On the contrary, just like Leondanis who always stands in the front row in every battle, he fights bravely without falling behind others.
This is a battlefield, and there is not much time to connect with emotions. Before Estino could say anything, he heard the sound of horse hooves. He looked at each other with Land Rover and Gu Shaoyan, and the three of them ran in quickly. into the queue.
What came oncoming was an infantry team of more than 6,000. Strictly speaking, these 6,000 infantry were not soldiers, they were just slaves wearing shackles! The weapons in their hands were made of thick iron with wooden handles, and the equipment on their bodies were all made of cloth. There was no fighting spirit in their eyes, only a will to die!
The purpose of the Persian king letting them fight was not that these 6,000 people could destroy the Spartans who even his elite soldiers could not defeat. They were just victims to consume the strength of the Spartan warriors. Then, they The elite cavalry will deliver a fatal blow!
These slaves had to fight, and behind them were millions of peopleIf the Persian army does not fight, they will die, and they will die of torture, and their death will be very, very painful; but if they are lucky enough to defeat the enemy with only 300 people in front of them, they will be rewarded and become free people and can get married. Give birth to children, have your own land, live a free life, and no longer be a slave without any dignity
However, they are destined to be disappointed!
The Spartan warriors with only 300 people in front of them were not something they, slave armies with no organization, low force and inferior equipment, could defeat!
Fortunately, they died happily and fell without suffering a lot of pain. Many dead slaves even kept smiles on their faces at the moment of death!
¡°Ho ho ho ho¡±
After killing the last Persian groaning on the ground, Estino raised his hands and shouted to the sky, completely forgetting that he was still on the battlefield, and did not notice a white horse rushing out of the thick fog. He was holding up the knife and slashing towards his neck!
"My son" The captain looked at his son who was brave enough to kill the enemy first, and showed a smile, but the smile immediately froze on his face, "Be careful!" He saw the white horse riding on it, and the sharp knife slashing at his son's neck. Knife, but he was too late to rescue!
Hearing his father's roar, Estino turned around and saw the sharp knife that had reached his Adam's apple!
"drink!"
"ha!"
Gu Shaoyan came to Estino in an instant and blocked the cavalry's blade with his shield. Lu Rover knelt down and slashed the hoofs of the white horse under the cavalry's seat. The horse fell to the ground with a neigh, and the cavalry on the horse also fell to the ground. He was thrown out, fell straight to the back of the Spartan warrior, and was cut into several pieces.
Estino wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and cast a grateful look at Lu Rover and Gu Shaoyan. Before he could say thank you, he heard his father's sharp roar: "What are you doing standing there, their cavalry?" Here we go, form a formation!!!¡±
Land Rover smiled and patted Estino's shoulder gently, and said in a small voice: "This time I killed more people than you."
"Tsk, the battle is not over yet"
"Yes, if you die, this competition will be over."
"I owe you my life, but I will definitely pay it back to you!"
"I hope I will never have this opportunity"
"Ha ha."
The three of them smiled together and entered the battle formation, preparing to face stronger enemies and more dangerous battles.
Looking at the swarming Persian cavalry, Gu Shaoyan secretly thought: Now that the fate of a plot character has been changed, what kind of changes will it bring to this war? (To be continued)
