Chapter 606: The Army Retreats
The lamp god hesitated and said: "My fifth ability is to be able to leave you at a certain distance. You are now a gold rank, and I can fight for you from a thousand meters away."
"This is really useful." Su ye nodded.
The lamp god let out a long sigh of relief.
"My sixth ability is to have a virtual body. It is not easy to be killed. Even if I am killed, as long as there is no problem with the magic lamp, I can consume enough magic power to recover infinitely."
"This is not bad."
"The seventh ability is short-distance teleportation within 100 meters, which can be used indefinitely, but if you don't rest, each time will consume more magic power than before."
"Not bad."
"My eighth ability is to protect you all the time, but it only needs a little mana to maintain. Of course, my respected master who is full of mana, for you, this consumption is minimal."
"My ninth ability is melee combat. My body is very strong, and I can also be blessed by your talent. This is something that non-legendary lamp gods cannot do. I can feel the unparalleled warrior strength from you, I can definitely fight for you in close quarters."
"My tenth ability..."
"My eleventh..."
...
"Can you do your homework?" Su ye asked suddenly.
The lamp god looked at Su ye, dumbfounded.
Di Aotian backed away silently, trembling.
The Queen of Bingfeng put away the leaves and ice flute, lay down on Suye's shoulder, and began to sleep.
"Are you affected by the summoning of the heroic spirit?" Suye asked.
"I...are affected, but our lamp gods have no ancestors or blood. In fact, this talent is useless to me. Of course, servant enhancement and servant spiritual connection work for me!"
"Then your fifth ability is useless? Forget it, I probably know your ability. It's not bad. You will get along well with other servants in the future."
"Obey, my... great master."
The newly born Djinn felt unprecedented pressure.
Is this the legendary father's love like a mountain?
Su ye left the room,
Take Bingfeng Shuanghou, Di Aotian and Deng Shen to find the old golden mage or sanctuary mage in the barracks, learn the most important knowledge about the magic lamp and the lamp god, and then copy the relevant books from their magic books, By the way, copy some relatively rare books.
These magicians usually treat those things as treasures, but when they saw Su ye coming, they didn't hide their secrets at all, and took the initiative to pass on more books to Su ye.
Occasionally, a magician asked some questions about three-dimensional painting, and Su Ye knew everything.
Persia never came to attack Proguan again. Suye studied and watched the information of Tempe Valley and Persia every day. At the same time, he did not stop deliberately practicing and cultivating various abilities, and still maintained the habit of thinking deeply every day.
Now, Su ye began to think deeply about the most important question, what is the essence of magic.
Su ye believed that it might take him more than ten years or even decades to fully figure it out, but it didn't matter, the process of thinking also had huge gains.
On the seventh day of the Battle of Tempe Valley, the coalition headquarters went completely insane. They issued harsh words to reprimand Suye and Mitiadeh, and asked them to immediately lead their troops to Tempe Valley for reinforcements.
Mitiade said lightly, as long as the coalition headquarters assumes all responsibilities after the fall of Proguan, he is willing to support Tempe Valley.
The coalition headquarters suddenly went silent.
Proguan and Tempe Valley respectively guard two passages leading to the interior of Greece. The front of the road is connected and the rear is also connected. Once Proguan falls, Persia can go directly to the back of Tempe Valley and completely surround Tempe Valley. Break the Tempe Valley escape route.
On the tenth day of the Battle of Tempe Valley, an emergency council was called by Miltiades.
At the meeting, he and the generals jointly analyzed the military situation and finally came to a result.
Tempe Valley won't last more than two days.
The coalition headquarters was ready to retreat, but they did not notify Proguan.
At the meeting, the generals scolded the sky.
But if Proguan withdraws first, everyone present will be held accountable.
However, if the retreat is slow, blocked by the Persian army, various obstacles are set up, and the cavalry's charge ability is abolished, then the entire army may be wiped out.
In the end, the meeting decided to let a sanctuary magician fly to Tempe Valley to observe the situation in the name of support. Once the coalition headquarters retreats, a magic message will be sent immediately to ensure that the people in Proguan retreat as soon as possible.
The entire Puluoguan people mobilized and prepared for the final retreat, even sleeping in clothes.
In the early morning of the eleventh day of the Battle of Tempe Valley, before dawn, the sound of retreating horns spread throughout Puluoguan.
More than 200,000 troops moved quickly, dropped heavy supplies, went into battle lightly, and retreated towards Wenquanguan.
On the way to retreat, the generals got together and asked what happened as they advanced. Haha Literature Network
Mityad sighed, and said: "From the first day, Persia's siege has never stopped. Tempe Valley suffered too many casualties, and morale became more and more low. The coalition headquarters just retreated, leaving behind 20,000 The soldiers are dead."
"These bastards who are greedy for life and afraid of death!"
"Hehe, where did the old nobles come from to laugh at us new nobles who sacrificed their lives for us?"
"For such an important matter, the coalition headquarters did not officially inform us, just because they wanted us to attract the Persians so that they could retreat."
"It's a pity that those 20,000 soldiers are gone."
"How did the Persians react?" Su ye asked.
"The current situation is that Persia is stepping up its attack, but the Palace of Heroes has not moved. It seems that Gilgamesh will not personally pursue it, which means that there is a high possibility of us escaping."
But Suye said: "This is where Gilgamesh is vicious. He doesn't move, we have hope, so we will keep running away instead of fighting them to the death. If he chases and kills himself, we must either run faster or return This is not what he wants to see. Not surprisingly, Persia will attack Tempe Valley for a while longer, and after that, it will directly take Tempe Valley, and then send a large army to keep chasing and killing the coalition forces and us. As long as we don’t have the guts to fight them to the death, they will chase them all the way to Hot Spring Pass. You know the terrain of Hot Spring Pass.”
The faces of all the generals changed drastically.
Thermopylae Pass is a famous place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The narrowest point is only a dozen meters, which is the last hope of the Greeks.
But the problem is that there are more than 300,000 soldiers retreating from Tempe Valley and Proguan, and there are various auxiliary soldiers. Although the number of auxiliary soldiers in Greece is not large, all of them together exceed 400,000.
Once the 400,000 people panicked and rushed to such a small hot spring pass, a large-scale stampede would inevitably occur. At this time, if Persia came in from behind, the stampede would be more than ten times worse.
Now hundreds of thousands of people are from the Greek coalition forces, not from a city-state. In this case, there will inevitably be internal strife.
"This..." Mitiad was helpless for a moment.
This was something he hadn't expected. After all, it was his first time to lead troops in the Thessaly region.
"Therefore, there must be a large army to break the rear, or to force the Persian army to give up hunting." Su Ye said.
All the generals looked at Su ye.
"Except for you, I can't even be this 'savior'." Mitaiad said the name of a military medal.
Suye nodded and said, "I've been looking at the magic map for the past few days. Along the way, there are many terrains suitable for cavalry. We just need to stay in a certain place, and either defeat the Persian pursuers once, or force them back. No Problem. I'll need some infantry, though."
Mityad breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "As long as you are here, I believe that the commander in chief of Persia, no matter how stupid he is, would not dare to take the initiative to attack."
All the generals nodded in unison.
On the plain, Su ye and the Hellriders were invincible.
The bones of two million Persians outside Puluo Pass are the best proof.
"However, there are accidents in everything." Euclid frowned.
Suye smiled and said, "After you recovered part of your memory, you feel a little depressed. Don't forget that the ace army in Persia cannot march long distances."
Only then did everyone nod their heads.
Flying snakes are oversized and have poor stamina.
This is especially true for the Giant Elephant Legion and the Warcraft Legion. Let alone people bumping on it for a long time, giant elephants and Warcraft themselves are not good-tempered. The bad temper of the giant army is well known. Once they are tired, they must rest.
Only the undead army is better, but the undead army is the main force attacking the city these days, and they are typical heavy armored infantry. Moving forward with heavy loads for a long time will cause too much physical damage, so Su ye hopes that they will come after them.
Afterwards, the smile on Su Ye's face disappeared, and he said, "I'm not afraid of the retreat of the coalition headquarters, but that they will forget the original goal and mission of our coalition forces and run away for the sake of escaping. We can almost imagine that scene, Since they left 20,000 people behind to escape, they can continue to leave 5,000 or 10,000 people until they leave safely."
"Hey... Thanks to you, otherwise we would probably forget the purpose of this battle in order to escape. Our purpose is not to escape, but to stop the Persians as much as possible. I didn't expect that the goal of the coalition headquarters became in order to escape..."
Everyone was silent.
The army moved forward silently.
And the magician in the retreating team of the coalition headquarters kept sending real-time information.
At first, the retreat of the army was smooth, but it didn't take long for Tempe Valley to be breached.
Next, exactly as Su ye said, the Persian army kept chasing and killing, but the coalition headquarters had no choice but to send batches of people to cut off the rear.
And those batches of cut off people were constantly being eaten away by the Persians.
Even though the Greek warriors were extremely brave, they could always face the Persians with more than one enemy, but the morale, command ability, physical strength and other aspects of both sides were dominated by the Persians.
On the battlefield, morale and will are no less important to battle than personal strength and the command of generals.
Su ye knew very well that too many wars failed because of their own lack of strength.
The road behind Proguan and Tempe Valley is finally connected, and at the same time connected to the road leading to Wenquanguan, forming a plain tunnel, which looks like a huge "Y"-shaped three-way intersection when viewed from the sky.
On the magic map, there is no official name for this place, only the name of the locals is marked, 'Little Plain'.
The Tempe Valley side arrived at the small plain first, and then sent an army of 20,000 to intercept it at the intersection, and the large army went straight to the direction of Wenquan Pass.
The sanctuary magician did not leave this time, but stayed in the small plain and continued to pass on information. _
