Chapter 276: The army attacks the city

Although Xerxes said that he was personally leading his army to attack Greece, how could the supreme emperor's body really lead an army to charge like a general? In addition to the primitive and barbaric civilizations such as Yuanmeng and Sparta, the so-called imperial expedition was just to follow the army far away. While spending a lot of manpower and material resources to supply the emperor with extravagance along the way, more so-called elite troops in the headquarters must be distributed to protect the emperor. Before the war, the generals will first send the plan to the emperor and wait for the Holy Will to the emperor. After passing the review, they can only implement it.

If this battle is won, it will be the wise decision of the great emperor. Once defeated, all the sins will be distributed to all the generals and soldiers in the army. These complicated and unnecessary steps and additional consumption are second to the emperor. The biggest trouble for the imperial commander in person is the emperor himself. If the emperor is not careful of any damage or accidents, then these generals will have to: I will die, I will die, and I will die.

Even the famous emperor Caesar in history only led his army to conquer cities and plunder land as an official, and he was awarded the title of emperor after he became famous. Therefore, in the slavery and feudal society, the most important thing for an emperor is to stay in his capital to grasp the overall situation. Because he is very happy with achievements and insists on taking over the imperial command in person, then in addition to the loud and bluffing slogans, the emperor himself is just a trouble and burden, and will not bring any practical benefits to this army. Even if the emperor himself is wise and has a civil and military strategy that is above the general, it will not affect this result.

After defeating the Greek coalition, the Persian vanguard battalion, which led the lead, quickly rushed to the Tigertes Mountains and encountered the Hilo Uprising Army that blocked the road and besieged the city. It was because of this factor that Xerxes himself decided to launch an expedition against the Greek Islands in advance, so he was naturally familiar with the various information about this rebel army. The Hilo Uprising Army was originally a fool who Wang Xiaozhi stared at the name of Persian envoys. Many of them had been looking forward to the Persian Empire for a long time, so subsequent negotiations and discussions naturally arose.

Because the Hilo Uprising Army was not hostile to the Persian Empire, and now they took the initiative to surrender at a very suitable opportunity, after joining the Persian Empire, these Hilo people were immediately given all the treatment of the regular army, and promised to conquer Sparta and allow them to rule the area according to the original system of the city-state when obeying the dispatch of the Persian royal court. Such generous conditions are undoubtedly sharply attractive to the Hilo Uprising Army. In addition, Wang Xiaozhi kept adding fuel to it, the two sides can now be said to be a hit.

After joining the Hilo Uprising Army with the Pioneer Battalion, they penetrated into the Tigertes Mountains from all directions, and merged into four directions, southeast, west and north, into four armies, and then came to the city of Sparta again.

This time, there were not only more than 100,000 Hilo Uprising Army. The mixed slave army, which was originally severely damaged in the Battle of the Arcmene Plain, once again reached 300,000 after joining forces with the Hilo Uprising Army. This is definitely an exaggerated and terrifying number for the Spartan city-state, which currently has a total population of only about 100,000. What's more, the Persian army claimed to be five million. For the generals who defended the city, there is no difference in visual effects after the number of enemy troops exceeds 200,000.

Although the negative views of the elders in the movie are impossible, anyone who sees this endless enemy army, will eventually feel a little depression and irritability. What's more, once the Achaemenid dynasty flag appears here, it proves that the Greek coalition on the Arcmenei plain is completely defeated. Although each city-state has its own different beliefs and will not be so serious that the faith collapses, it will not be much better.

The God of War Ares is the only belief of the Spartans, but Zeus' status in the entire Olympus system is transcendent. Even the God of War Ares himself is just the son of Zeus. This is the same as the strongest god in the continent of Feren, which is definitely the god above the god, but this does not mean that the gods each have their own devout believers.

Although the Spartans were convinced that under the protection of Ares, they would definitely overcome the difficulties and defeat the enemy under the protection of the war god, strong emotional fluctuations in their hearts were inevitable.

"How could the Persian army appear here? Although the cowardly city-state cannot be compared with our Spartan warriors, how could they be defeated by this barbaric and lowly nation under the glory of the gods!"

A soldier stationed at the edge of the city-state shouted on the spot that the most elite Spartan Imperial Guards could curse without regard for discipline, which shows the degree of surprise this scene brought to them.

The priests who commanded these soldiers did not care about discipline at this moment, and immediately roared loudly: "What are you stupid pigs yelling at? How could these humble and incompetent Persians defeat our coalition forces that uphold the will of the gods? They must have used shameful means to sneak around with our Greek coalition forces behind our backs."

Although this statement is very absurd, it is the only explanation that can be agreed upon in the hearts of these Spartans. At that time, anger spreads rapidly among the Spartan soldiers. The priest also took advantage of the situation and said: "After repelling the vanguard of these Persian bastards, when the Greek coalition discovered their insidious behavior, they will definitely join forces to wipe them out. We will take advantage of the situation to rush out and cut off Xerxes' head to shine the glory of the God of War Ares!"

The Spartans' fighting will was immediately ignited completely, and shouts and slogans suddenly resounded throughout the city-state. Teams of guards and soldiers rushed to the edge of the city, and on the layers of corpses, they once again cast a steel defense line covering the entire city-state with shields.
