Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

In the naval battle of Salamis, the Wu army won a complete victory. They sank nearly [-] warships of the Greek fleet and captured more than [-] ships. The Greek navy was almost wiped out.

Under Qingji's order, the Great Wu Western Expeditionary Army took advantage of the victory and pursued, broke through the Greek Great Wall from Athens to Piraeus Port, landed in Marathon again, and quickly approached the city of Athens.

The most famous place in Athens is the Acropolis.

The Acropolis is located on the Acropolis Hill in the center of Athens and was built in 580 BC.

This acropolis is a fortress used to prevent foreign enemies from invading. There are walls around the top of the mountain. However, more than ten years ago, during the Hippo War, the Athenians abandoned their hometown and went away, so the city of Athens was burned by the Persians. .

After the defeat of the Persians, the Athenians returned to their hometown and began to rebuild, but they have not yet recovered, but the most basic defense facilities are complete.

After the Wu army surrounded the city of Athens, Qingji did not immediately order to attack the city. Instead, he ordered the army to camp and wait for the right time before making plans.

Night falls.

At this time, in Wu Jun's central tent, Qing Ji was discussing with Wu Ji, Wu Ming, Sun Di and other Wu Jun generals how to defeat the enemy.

"Your Majesty, Ephialtes is on his way to Athens leading the Greek coalition forces, and will probably arrive tomorrow."

Wu Ming reported to Qingji: "I believe that our army can take advantage of a great victory to break through the city of Athens in the first battle, and finally fight to the death with the main force of the Greek coalition army!"

Regarding this, the emperor's grandson Wu Ji had a different opinion, and said to Qingji, "Grandfather, my grandson thinks that it is not difficult to break through the city of Athens."

"The Greek coalition forces are only in the tens of thousands, but they should not be underestimated. After our army has defeated the main force of the Greek coalition forces, it will not be too late to capture the city of Athens."

"good."

By this time, Qingji still wouldn't take it lightly.

As the leader of all Greece, the city-state of Athens had a territory of about 1600 square meters and a population of 25 in its heyday in ancient Athens.

At the same time, Corinth had a population of 9, Argos had about 45000, and some city-states had only 5000 or less.

Athens has not yet reached its heyday, so Qingji estimates that the population of Athens will not exceed 20, and may be more than [-].

In a small area, Wu Jun can still be determined in one battle.

"Wu Ji, is there any battle report from Wu Zhang?"

Qingji set his sights on Wu Ji.

"Reporting to the emperor's grandfather, the king of Liao has led his troops into Macedonia and fought with the Macedonians. The Thracian side has also poured out their country to help the Macedonians resist the attack of our Western Expeditionary Army. It is estimated that it will take two days. decisive battle."

"good."

Qingji nodded slightly.

……

The next day, in the wilderness outside Athens, Wu's western expeditionary army confronted the Greek coalition forces.

The total strength of the Wu army exceeds 19, while the Greek coalition forces only have more than [-]. There is a huge difference in strength!

With a sound of "swish", Qingji, who was sitting on the military chariot, pulled out the Longyuan Sword from his waist, pointed at the Greek coalition formation opposite, and said loudly, "Soldiers, it's time for you to make contributions!"

"Use the blood of the enemy to sacrifice to my Great Wu! Dye your robes! Glory to Great Wu!"

"Go to war!"

"kill!"

Following Qingji's order, Wu Junrui, who had been ready to go for a long time, rushed towards the enemy on the opposite side like a flood that opened the gate.

The Greeks also held a shield in one hand and a spear in the other, and charged straight at the Wu army in a strict square formation.

"Pfft!"

"Shh!"

From the beginning of the battle, it was a very bloody scene.

Relying on the belief of defending the country and years of military training, the soldiers of the Greek army are very capable in individual combat. In one-on-one situations, they will not lose the slightest advantage against the soldiers of the Wu army.

It is worth mentioning that the first batch of Wu troops to rush out were actually all foreigners in the army, such as Lydians, Syrians, Egyptians, Assyrians, and Persians, who were organized into armies.

Their combat effectiveness should not be underestimated, and their weapons and equipment were sharper than the Greeks, but they could only be tied.

For these alien races, in fact, Qing Ji didn't care how many casualties they had.

Seeing that the battle was at a stalemate, Qingji waved his hand again, and after the first batch of foreign soldiers who charged forward retreated, the real Wu Jun soldiers came out.

Wu Jun sharp soldiers formed an indestructible shield formation, and formed several arrow formations at the same time.

"Fire arrows!"

"Shhhhhh!"

The crossbow arrows thrown by the crossbow spread all over the entire dome for a while, and the densely packed arrows made people with intensive phobia tremble, and even fainted from fright.

"Pfft!"

"what!"

"Pfft!"

The sharp crossbow arrows fell quickly, killing hundreds of soldiers of the Greek coalition army.

Their weapons and armor are relatively poor.

Fortunately, the battle helmet was tightly covered, but the rest of the breastplate, knee armor, and wrist guards were all made of copper, still in the Bronze Age, and could not resist the sharp penetrating power of Wu Jun's crossbow arrows at all.

As soon as the crossbow arrows shot over, the armor on their bodies was like paper, and it was penetrated in an instant, bleeding profusely, and they fell into a pool of blood.

Many Greeks were shot directly into hedgehogs and died of exhaustion.

Wu Jun's sharp crossbow arrows were like cutting leeks, cutting one crop after another for the soldiers of the Greek coalition army.

After several waves of arrow rain passed, at least thousands of people were killed and injured by the Greek coalition forces!
However, the Greeks continued to rush towards Wu Jun tenaciously.

The Greeks lacked war horses, and the land battles basically ran on two legs, running wildly, and some people with superb archery skills did not forget to draw their bows and arrows while running, hoping to return the favor to the Wu army.

It's just that the gap between the bow and the crossbow is not so large.

The Athenians were advanced in culture. They once developed Wu’s crossbows and achieved results, but the specific details were not grasped. Therefore, the range and power of their crossbows were still completely incomparable with Wu Jun’s crossbows. It can only be regarded as a "cottage product"...

Seeing the Greeks approaching more and more, Qingji didn't panic at all, he waved his hands and said, "Fire Gunners, come out!"

With the movement of the command flag, the Wu army's phalanx changed rapidly, and a huge gap appeared in the shield formation, and then stood in two rows of firecrackers. The 3000 firecrackers held their firecrackers and aimed at the rushing soldiers. enemy.

"Fire!"

"Bang bang bang bang!"

As the gunpowder smoke filled the air, bullets poured out one after another. Before the Greeks caught off guard could react, they were hit by the bullets and fell straight in a pool of blood, dying with regret...
