After nightfall, Chen Yihan, Leonida and others were finally squeezed into a valley in a gorge by the Persians. Although the area of ​​this valley is not large, it only has a narrow entrance. In this way, it became extremely difficult for the Persians to attack directly from the ground.

Besides, it is already night now. Whether it is Chen Yihan and others, or the Persian army, it becomes extremely difficult for them to continue fighting. In this way, Xerxes issued an order to stop the attack. But unlike in the past, he did not take back the army to the camp, but stopped them all on the gorge and ridges.

Xerxes's purpose is simple!

On the one hand, he did not want to erase the results of the battle through bloody battles; on the other hand, they were crowded after all, so they could take advantage of the advantages of being stationed very close to each other and look for opportunities to launch sneak attacks on the Spartans at any time.

It should be said that Xerxes' strategy is very clever.

But for this reason, these tired Spartans dare not fall asleep easily. Their number now is less than a hundred, and most of them are injured. They all understand that tomorrow's sunrise will be the last sun they see.

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

Leonida leaned beside Chen Yihan and whispered. As he spoke, he looked at the top of the valley. At this time, although the Persians there did not launch a sneak attack, the cold light was flashing faintly.

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

Chen Yihan only said half of his words and turned his mind back.

Of course, he and Xiaowan have a future! According to the development of the battle situation, the Spartans, with their help, should be able to persevere until noon tomorrow. In this way, they can complete the task successfully and leave here. As for Leonida and the others...

When Chen Yihan thought of this, he could only sigh helplessly.

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

When Chen Yihan heard Leonida say this, he smiled and joked, "Leonida. My best friend! What if I was born in Sparta in the next life, what would I do?"

"Sparta?" Leonida was stunned at first! Then he burst out laughing, "Haha! How could you be born in Sparta? You should be born in Xia Kingdom."

Leonida said as she looked at Lie, Xiaowan and Jianlang. "You have so many talented people in Xia Country. It must be a very powerful country. A country like you will not be bullied! Therefore, you will definitely be born in Xia Country, and we Sparta..."

When Leonida said this, her head and neck couldn't help but hang down.

Obviously he was worried about his wife and children, and was worried about their future. After all, when Greece lost the barrier to hot springs, it was completely exposed to the Persians. In this way, their fate naturally made people worry.

"Leonida, don't worry! Shilang is dead. The Spartan Parliament has made a war mobilization. But..." Chen Yihan said this and leaned his head towards the wall. He knew that no matter what the Spartan Parliament's decision was, Leonida would not be able to hold on until that day.

"They will send troops to fight the Persians after the Sacrifice Festival, right?" Chen Yihan failed to say something, but Leonida said it directly.

"Yes! It'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 exempted for your bravery. Because the Persians are afraid to fight the Spartans."

Leonida listened to Chen Yihan very seriously.

Although Leonida was not a superstitious oracle from the bottom of his heart, he now listened to Chen Yihan's words as if he had heard an oracle. Not only that, he also believed that the oracle that Chen Yihan brought him must be correct!

"Since that's the case, should we hold on here for more time?" Antinos interrupted and asked.

"Of course! If we can change this history with our own strength, we should of course continue to fight. If the Persians can be blocked by us until after the Sacrifice Festival..."

Chen Yihan said the words of encouragement in half and closed his mouth. Obviously, he knew very well in his heart that it would be impossible for them to complete this task with just one hundred people. Not to mention anything else, they were surrounded by the Persians in this valley without food and medicinal materials. Even if they didn't fight, they would kill them if they were hungry.

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

When they heard Chen Yihan say halfway and look at him scanning everyone's faces with a cunning gaze, they understand what he was thinking. In this way, the people laughed together. With the laughter, their eyes looked up at the top of the valley.

At this moment, their eyes were not for no reason.

Because the Persians on the mountain heard the Spartans' laughter and shot cold arrows downwards. However, the arrows they shot were all blocked by the protective cover of the Donghuang Bell.

The next day at dawn, the sun quietly rose.

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

As Chen Yihan opened his eyes, he found that Leonida and the Spartans were still asleep. Obviously, the battles in recent days had already consumed too much physical strength. Although these people persisted until very late last night, when they knew that the protective cover of Donghuang Bell could help them save their lives, they still completely settled down.

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

Xiaowan woke up earlier than Chen Yihan. At this moment, she was sitting leaning against the entrance of the valley. With her, there were several Spartan wounded soldiers. They could no longer participate in the daytime battle, so they took on the task of keeping watch at night. In the hearts of the Spartans, as long as they were alive, they would not give up their will to fight.

"Don't worry! If the Persians don't provoke us on their own initiative, then let Leonida and the others sleep for a while." Chen Yihan said as he turned to look at Leonida. At this moment, he even hoped that the sun could rise a little slower. But his hope was destined to turn into a bubble.

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

"Yes! But what do I think it's doing?" When Chen Yihan said this, the man had already leaned against Xiaowan's side and sat down. At the same time, he yawned. It seemed that his body was also very tired. Now that he could wake up, he had something to worry about and people he cared about in his heart.

"I saw boats on the sea! How nice would it be if we could go to the sea and then leave here on those boats?"

Chen Yihan nodded slightly when he heard Xiaowan's words almost muttering.

He also didn't want Leonida and others to die. If there was such a chance, he really hoped to leave with these Spartans alive.

But just as Chen Yihan was sitting there looking forward to a bright future, a terrible thought suddenly came to his mind! Ship? There is a war here, how can there be a ship nearby? If there is a ship nearby, there is only one situation. The sea is full of Persian warships.

"Xiaowan, look forward to the valley entrance! I'll wake up Leonida. The Persians will bombard us with the siege equipment on the warship..."

Before Chen Yihan could finish his words, the whistling sound came from the direction of the sea.

At the same time, a huge rock hit the cliff of the valley. With the impact, the screams immediately came from the valley. Obviously, the stone bombarded the Persians hidden on the ridge.

"Boom! Gudong, bang..."

After that, the giant javelins burst into the valley with increasingly dense stones.

Under the protection of the Donghuang Bell, although these things failed to hit the Spartans, they woke them up from their sleep. Not only that, as the huge rocks and javelins fell, the Donghuang Bell's protective cover was also clattering. Obviously, it could not withstand the impact and bombardment of these behemoths.

"Brother Han, hurry up and think of a solution! Our energy stones are going to run out." At this moment, the voice of the bastard wolf came from the team channel.

After hearing this, Chen Yihan's expression became gloomy at that time.

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

"Dong!Dongdongdong..."

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

"Spartans! Go ahead and fight them."

When Leonida heard the call of the wounded soldiers, he immediately grabbed the long halberd that was slanted beside him. 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 knocked the protective cover of the Donghuang Bell to a loud bang.

"Brother Han, no! You have to find a way to deal with the archers above, otherwise these Spartans will be destroyed." The cries of the bastard wolf came again.

When Chen Yihan heard this, he frowned.
Chapter completed!
