After nightfall, Chen Yihan, Leonidas and others were finally squeezed into a valley in a gorge by the Persians. "..Although the area of ​​this valley is small, there is only one narrow entrance.In this way, it became extremely difficult for the Persians to attack directly from the ground.

Besides, it was night now.Whether it was Chen Yihan and the others, or the Persian army, it became extremely difficult for them to continue fighting.In this way, Xerxes gave the order to stop the attack.But unlike before, he did not take the army back into the camp, but stopped them all on the channel and ridge.

The purpose of Xerxes doing this is very simple!

On the one hand, he didn't want to obliterate the results of the bloody battle; on the other hand, after all, they had a large number of people, and they could take advantage of the close proximity of the two sides to look for opportunities to launch sneak attacks on the Spartans at any time.

It should be said that this strategy of Xerxes is very clever.

Just because of this reason, these Spartans who had been exhausted for a day did not dare to fall asleep easily.Their total number today is less than 100, and most of them are injured.They all know that tomorrow's sunrise will be the last sun they see.

"Han, thank you! With your help, we lived another day."

Leonidas leaned against Chen Yihan and spoke in a low voice.Following the voice, he looked to the top of the valley.At this time, although the Persians there did not launch a sneak attack, there was a gloomy light flickering faintly.

"Leonidas, why are you being polite to me? It should be said that I have learned a lot from you. This is for my future... Hehe, if we have a future..."

Chen Yihan only said half of what he said, and then reversed the meaning.

Of course, he and Xiaowan still have a future!According to the development of the battle situation.With their help, the Spartans should be able to last until noon tomorrow.In this way, they can complete the task satisfactorily and leave from here.As for Leonidas and the others...

When Chen Yihan thought of this, he could only let out a helpless sigh.

"Han, do you believe that people will have an afterlife? If I have an afterlife, I will definitely go to the distant Xia Kingdom to find you! At that time, we will still be friends like we are now."

Hearing what Leonidas said, Chen Yihan smiled and teased, "Leonidas, my best friend! What if I was born in Sparta in my next life?"

"Sparta?" Leonidas was startled!Then, he laughed loudly, "Haha! How could you be born in Sparta? You should have been born in Xia Country."

Leonidas looked at Lie, Xiaowan and Jianlang while talking. "There are so many capable people in your country of Xia. It will definitely be a very powerful country. A country like yours will not be bullied! Therefore, you will definitely be born in the country of Xia, and our Sparta... ..."

When Leonidas said this, her head and neck could not help but droop.

Clearly he was worried about his wife and children, and worried about their future.After all, when Greece lost the barrier of Thermopylae, it was completely exposed to the Persians.In this way, their fate is naturally worrying.

"Leonidas, don't worry! Xi Lang is dead. The Spartan Council has mobilized for war. It's just..." Chen Yihan leaned his head against the wall after saying this.He knew what the decision of the Spartan Council would be.There was no way Leonidas would last until that day.

"They will send troops after the sacrificial festival to fight the Persians, right?" Chen Yihan couldn't say anything, but Leonidas said it directly.

"Yes! That's true. Not only Sparta, but also Athens and other Greek city-states will join the war. Before that, Athens will be conquered by the Persians, and Sparta will be rewarded for your bravery. Immunity. Because the Persians were afraid to fight the Spartans."

Leonidas was listening to Chen Yihan very seriously.

Although Leonidas was not a superstitious oracle believer from the bottom of his heart, listening to Chen Yihan's words now was like hearing an oracle.Not only that, he also believed that the oracle Chen Yihan gave him must be correct!

"In this case, should we hang on here for a little longer?" Antinos interjected and asked.

"Of course! If we can change this period of history with our own power, then of course we should continue to fight. If the Persians can be blocked by us until after the sacrifice festival..."

Chen Yihan closed his mouth tightly after halfway through his encouraging words.Obviously, he knew very well in his heart that it was impossible to complete this task with only 100 of them.Among other things, they were besieged by the Persians in this valley without food and medicine. Even if they didn't fight, just starvation would kill them.

Although the thinking of the Spartans is simple, it does not mean that they are all idiots!

When they listened to Chen Yihan halfway through his speech, and watched him scan the faces of everyone with sly eyes, they understood what he was thinking.In this way, these people laughed together.Along with the laughter, their eyes turned to the top of the valley.

At this moment, it is not without the slightest reason for their eyes to shift.

Because the Persians on the mountain heard the laughter of the Spartans and shot cold arrows downward.It's just that all the arrows they shot were blocked by the protective cover of the Eastern Emperor Bell.

At dawn the next day, the sun rose quietly.

Although Chen Yihan and the others are in the valley now, this place is close to the ocean after all.When it was dawn, the entire valley was still immersed in a mist.

As Chen Yihan opened his eyes, he found that Leonidas and those Spartans were still asleep.Obviously, the days of fighting had exhausted them too much energy.Although these people persisted until late last night, they were completely at ease when they knew that the protective cover of the Eastern Emperor Bell could save their lives.

"Han, are we going to fight the Persians?"

Xiaowan woke up earlier than Chen Yihan.At this moment, she was sitting against the entrance of the valley.With her were several wounded Spartans.It was no longer possible for them to participate in daytime battles, so they took on the task of keeping watch at night.In the hearts of the Spartans, as long as they live, they will never give up their will to fight.

"Don't worry! If the Persians don't take the initiative to provoke us, then we should let Leonidas sleep for a while." Chen Yihan said while turning his head to look at Leonidas.At this moment, he even hoped that the sun would rise more slowly.But his hope is destined to come to naught.

"Han, can you see the sea in the distance?"

"Yes! But what do I see it for?" When Chen Yihan said this, he had already sat down beside Xiaowan.At the same time, he also yawned.It seems that his body is also very tired.Now he can wake up, but there are still things and people he misses in his heart.

"I see ships on the sea! Wouldn't it be nice if we could go out to sea and get out of here in those ships?"

Chen Yihan nodded slightly when he heard Xiao Wan's almost dreamy words.

He also didn't want Leonidas and others to die.If there is such a chance, he really hopes to take these Spartans away alive.

But when Chen Yihan was sitting there looking forward to a bright future, a terrible thought suddenly appeared in his mind!Boat?There is a war here, how can there be a ship nearby?If there are really ships near here, there is only one situation, those in the sea are Persian warships.

"Xiao Wan, keep an eye on Taniguchi! I'm going to wake Leonidas up. The Persians are going to bombard us with the siege equipment on the warship..."

Before Chen Yihan finished speaking, the whistling sound came from the direction of the sea.

At the same time, a boulder hit the cliff of the valley.Following the impact, screams immediately came from above the valley.Apparently the stone bombarded the Persians hiding on the ridge.

"Boom! Gudong, bang..."

After that, more and more dense stones and giant javelins blasted into the valley.

Under the protection of the Eastern Emperor Bell, although these things failed to hit the Spartans, they woke them up from their sleep.Not only that, as the boulders and javelins fell, the protective cover of the Donghuang Bell also rattled.Obviously it can't withstand the impact and bombing of these behemoths.

"Brother Han, hurry up and find a way! We are running out of energy stones." At this moment, the voice of the cheap wolf came from the team channel.

After hearing this, Chen Yihan's complexion became gloomy.

Without the protection of the Eastern Emperor Bell, these Spartans would surely die.It seems that he must go to the sea and destroy all the warships in the sea.

"Boom! Boom, boom, boom..."

Just as Chen Yihan was thinking this way, the sound of war drums also came from outside the entrance of the valley.Immediately, the wounded soldiers guarding the entrance of the valley shouted, "Leonidas, the Persians are coming to us!"

"Spartans! Line up, move on, and fight 'em."

When Leonidas heard the call of the wounded soldier, she immediately grabbed the halberd that had fallen to the side.After that, he issued an order to fight to the Spartans in the valley.

As the Spartans gathered from their respective positions, the Persians on the mountain shot down dense arrows and rattled the protective cover of the Eastern Emperor Bell.

"Brother Han, no! You have to find a way to get rid of the archers above, otherwise these Spartans will be wiped out." The cry of the cheap wolf came again.

When Chen Yihan heard this, he frowned tightly.

Just when he was about to spread his wings and fly into the air, Xiaowan transformed her figure into the state of an awakened person.Immediately, she said in a naughty tone, "Han, you go up there; I'll take care of the boats in the sea. Have you forgotten that I can fly?" (To be continued...)
