Call of the Heroes of Chaos in Another World

Chapter 2442 The Fall of Sparta, Leonidas Captured (Part 1)
"almost!"

"Generals, it's time to launch the final offensive!"

As dusk approached and he felt that the enemy forces had been exhausted, Wanyan Xie decided not to wait any longer and immediately issued the order for a general attack.

"I've been waiting for so long, this general can't wait any longer!"

"The time has finally come to deal with them!" Xing Tian stretched his arms and said in a deep voice.

Wang Yu and Wang Li, who were following behind, also had eager expressions on their faces.

Meanwhile, the generals and officers who received the order to launch a general offensive immediately reorganized their troops, checked their bows and arrows and oil, and prepared for the charge.

Once everything was ready, Wanyan Xie slowly raised his right hand and then suddenly swung it forward!
"Ding! Wanyan Xieye's skill effect has been activated. When leading cavalry into battle, the commander's command increases by 3. The base commander is 98, and the current commander's command increases to 101."

"Ding! Wanyan Xieye's skill effect three is activated. When you are the main general, if the enemy is mainly composed of infantry, reduce the enemy's leadership value by one point and slightly reduce the morale of all enemy soldiers."

Leonidas's leadership has decreased by 1, bringing his current leadership stat to 98.

"Waaaaah..."

A deep and desolate horn sound suddenly rang out, breaking the suffocating stalemate in the air above the battlefield, and the main force of the Han cavalry, which had been poised to attack, moved in response.

This time, it was no longer a harassment by light cavalry, but a true torrent of destruction!
The first to launch an attack were the cavalrymen at the front of the formation who possessed some archery skills. They galloped at full speed and, as they approached the edge of the Dongyi army's arrow range, they uniformly drew their bows and nocked their arrows.

This time, however, the arrows were all tied with linen soaked in kerosene.

"put!"

At a single command, thousands upon thousands of rockets, like a flock of migrating fire crows, pierced the twilight sky with deathly shrieks, falling densely into the Spartan army's ranks!

"Raise your shields!" Leonidas roared.

The well-trained Dongyi warriors immediately raised their huge round shields high above their heads, forming a dense shield top.

Most of the rockets were deflected or stuck on the shields, but some still landed in the middle of the formation, setting fire to the soldiers' cloaks and even some of the army's belongings.

Smoke began to billow, and some chaos broke out within the formation.

Immediately afterwards, cavalrymen carrying canisters of oil swept past at high speed, forcefully hurling the black oil at the Spartan shield wall and the front of their formation.

The rocket followed, instantly igniting the flowing oil!
"boom!"

Walls of fire ignited in front of and on the flanks of the Dongyi formation, scorching waves of heat rushed towards them, and thick smoke choked them so much they couldn't open their eyes.

The flames not only caused direct casualties, but more seriously, they disrupted the vision of the Dongyi soldiers and destroyed the tight formation they relied on to maintain.

"Now! Crush them!" Wanyan Xieye's voice traveled through the bugle to every general's ears.

"Roar!" Like a long-suppressed volcano finally erupting, Xing Tian let out a deafening roar.

He didn't even wait for the cavalry behind him to fully deploy before he took the lead, brandishing his huge battle axe. Like a runaway chariot, he jumped off his horse and crashed headlong into the front line of the Dongyi army formation, which had become loose due to the flames! "Ding, Xing Tian's Battle Heaven skill effect is activated. When fighting on foot, his own martial strength increases by 5, his base martial strength is 108, his equipment increases by 1, his martial god increases by 4, and his current martial strength increases to 118."

With a swing of his giant axe, rows of Dongyi soldiers were sent flying backward.

With his left hand holding the shield, he strode forward and, relying on his brute force, rammed into the Dongyi soldiers in front of him, causing them to stagger backward.

"For the Liao Dynasty! For the honor of Sparta!" Leonidas also shouted in desperation, personally charging forward with his spear.

He knew the final moment had arrived.

"Ding! The Lion of Leonidas skill effect has been activated. In mounted combat, personal attack power +2; in foot combat, personal attack power +5."

Leonidas's combat strength increased by 5, base combat strength was 105, Spartan Blood Spear and Spartan Round Shield increased by 1, War God increased by 4, Bloodstained War increased by 1, and current combat strength increased to 116.

Although Leonidas also had a certain level of mounted combat skills, his forte was still foot combat.

In mounted combat, he could only be said to have barely reached the level of combat power a god should possess.

However, once he engages in combat, his combat strength is among the best of all the initial-level divine generals.

That is why Leonidas, at this moment, did not ride a warhorse, but instead carried a long spear and a round shield, and charged straight toward Xing Tian.

"Oh!"

Xingtian's battle axe clashed fiercely with Leonidas's spear, producing a deafening roar.

The clash between the two fierce generals officially kicked off the general offensive!
Following closely behind Xing Tian, ​​the Han cavalry, led by generals such as Wang Yu and Wang Li, surged forward like a torrent of steel, crashing into the chaotic Dongyi army formation caused by the fire attack.

Although Leonidas went forward to fight Xing Tian, ​​the three hundred Spartans and other Eastern Yi troops, under the command of generals such as Pausanias, Cleon Brutus, Cliomens, and Lysander, continued to put up a stubborn resistance.

These individuals were all Spartan generals or kings who, after their birth, had their traits implanted in Leonidas.
In particular, Pausanias, who replaced Leonidas in commanding the 300 Spartans, displayed exceptional bravery in this battle.

Pausanias was the King of Sparta and the commander of the Battle of Plataea, the final and decisive battle of the Greco-Persian Wars.

Under his leadership, the three hundred warriors displayed their tactical skills. Even in dire straits, they remained in groups of three or five, back to back, using shields, spears, short swords, and even their teeth to put up a desperate resistance.

For every Spartan warrior who fell, several Han soldiers were often killed or wounded.

However, the gap in strength and the enormous physical exertion are insurmountable obstacles.

With its overwhelming numerical superiority, the striking power of its cavalry, and the abundant stamina of its well-rested forces, the Han army continuously squeezed the living space of the three hundred Spartans.

Even though these Spartan warriors were all heavily armored and were the heaviest of the heavy infantry, the Han cavalry coming towards them still kept throwing their hammers at them.

Even though these people wore heavy armor, they also wore a layer of cotton armor underneath to cushion the impact of heavy weapons.

However, the continuous barrage of flying hammers, or even two cavalrymen pulling them together with chain hammers, still managed to smash these tin cans until they were completely disoriented.

Leonidas, as the commander-in-chief, fought fiercely, using his agility to dodge the attacks of Xing Tian's heavy axe while occasionally seizing opportunities to thrust his Spartan Blood Spear forward.
