Chapter 211 The God-Choose of the Persian Empire

Finally, one of the existences could no longer bear it. He was tall, handsome and hard, holding a huge and gorgeous trident in his hand, flew down from the clouds, ending the war.

So the sea returned to peace, the fleet began to sail freely, and the statue of this great existence was erected in all the ports of mankind.

There are four pairs of carvings, but they show Li Yeling a grand, desolate, but unknown history.

Li Yeling suddenly broke free from the vicissitudes, horror and grand feeling brought by the picture, and his forehead was covered with sweat. The large sword, the scroll on its surface, seemed to have a magical magic that could make people indulge in it unconsciously, but it was somewhat similar to the ability of the white big cat.

But the difference is that the attraction of this scroll is extremely powerful, and it is many times better than the big cat taking advantage of the person's sleep to launch a sneak attack, and it seems to be no harm to people.

Staring at the big sword, Li Yeling fell into deep thought.

Looking at the picture above, it was clearly a large-scale naval battle, and the shape of this sword was clearly a Viking heavy sword, which means it must be produced in Europe. When did such a large-scale naval battle occur in this ancient Europe? And those handsome men and beauties standing in the clouds and indifferently, who are they?

The moment I saw them, the first word that came to Li Yeling's mind was: Greek gods.

He regarded everything as straw dogs, stood on the top of the high Mount Olympus, watched the prosperity and prosperity of the world, withering and declining, and then waved his sleeves lightly and turned around and left.

"If these people are really Greek gods, then the identity of the heroic man holding a trident will be revealed." Li Yeling breathed a long sigh and murmured to himself: "The god holding a trident has given the sea another peace and tranquility. He blessed the passing ships without being disturbed by the wind and waves, but he would also give thunder and anger to those ships that had paid him tribute to him, causing their ships to overturn and perish. His statue was erected at the port, and everyone worshipped him devoutly."

"With such majesty and such a mighty power, besides the sea god Poseidon, there is one more?"

Li Yeling originally did not believe in God, but since the end of the world, everything that happened in this world has forced him to change his views.

The existence of the Black Water True Method shows that there were indeed ancient immortals and Qi training men in the Eastern Continent in the ancient times, and why can't there be gods in the West?

If this great sword could be related to the sea god Poseidon, it would be a surprise. On Thursday and Wednesday, the brothers divided the world, Zeus got the sky, Hades went to the underworld, and Poseidon obtained the vastest ocean. Needless to say, such a god is so powerful, this great sword can be related to him, and naturally it is not an ordinary quality.

Li Yeling held the sword in his hand and carefully pondered it. Now, as soon as his five fingers touch the hilt, the energy in his body will flow naturally, enter the sword, and then feedback it back more purely and vigorously. This sword almost becomes an extension of his body. Of course, it is easy for people to raise their own limbs.

Li Yeling also believed that this great sword would definitely have more than just such a function, and would naturally have to slowly develop other things in the future.

"This sword weighs 326 kilograms, which is incompetent. All enemies cannot resist your strength and can only be crushed all the way. Since that's the case, let's call you the 'crusher'!"

It seemed that when he heard Li Yeling's words, a long and exciting sound came from the heavy sword that crushed the crusher.

In the next few days, Alexander indeed did not leave the camp. He feasted and enjoyed the generals every day, and rewarded a lot of wine and meat for ordinary soldiers to eat and drink. Such actions indeed stabilized the morale of the Macedonian army. People always had a blind obedience mentality, especially the actions of the superiors and the strong, and they were the objects of their followers. Seeing the great Alexander so calm, these lower-class soldiers were also diluted a lot due to the fear brought by lunar eclipses and meteor showers.

Although Alexander prohibits camping at will, Li Yeling is obviously an exception.

These days, he has to stay by the Tigris River every morning for more than two hours, and he will not come back until he has breakfast.

In addition to practicing qigong and practicing Crazy Guns, he has another new project, which is to understand the use of the crusher.

The extremely heavy and thick heavy sword of the Crusher must not take a light and agile path, but must be opened and closed, and the powerful tricks are suitable. Li Yeling thought of the ancient Chinese horse-killing sword. According to historical records, under the horse-killing sword, the "both people and horses are broken". How powerful and domineering is this, and the Crusher has the heavy and hardness that the Horse-killing sword does not have, which is even more suitable for this route.

In the past few days, Li Yeling has also gained a certain understanding of the use of the crusher. He can already use the crusher to make some slightly complicated actions. However, this big sword is too heavy after all. Even if Li Yeling accidentally injured for half an hour, his arms will be sore and exhausted.

What made him even happier was that the crusher could be stored in the space ring. He was originally worried that the ring space was one cubic meter in size, one meter in length, one meter in height, and one meter in height. However, he did not expect that this cube with one meter length was just a normal state of the ring space, and could actually change to other states, such as long strips, circles, etc.

As long as the object volume does not exceed one cubic meter, it can be accommodated, and the ring space is just a little bit pulled.

After a few days of enactment, the morale of the army had almost been restored, and it was severely suppressed for several days, the soldiers' desire for war was also relatively strong. Therefore, on the morning of September 27, Alexander announced the withdrawal of the camp and continued to move south along the Tigris River.

This time the marching speed was faster. When the Macedonian army was still fifty kilometers away from the Gaugamila Plain, Persian cavalry began to appear around the team.

Everyone is not surprised. These Persian Rangers are an existence between scouts and vanguard battalions. They roam around the local large forces and have the responsibility of surveillance. Of course, if the enemy is careless or has a relatively lax defense, they will never mind rushing to bite hard.

These Persian Rangers were all one-man and two horses, and they rode the best horses, that is, the Arab horses of later generations, with fast pace and good endurance. The number of cavalry in the Macedonian army was limited, so they were helpless to them. However, these Persian Rangers were scared by the Macedonian army. They had such a good advantage but could not use it. They just stared at the Macedonian army from afar, observed their direction, and did not dare to come up to harass them.

A trace of contempt flashed through Li Yeling's heart. These Persian cavalry would not take advantage of their own advantages at all. If they leverage the advantages of strong mobility and fast speed of cavalry and constantly raid the Macedonian army, it would also cause great trouble to Macedonia.

The leader of the Persian Rangers was named Mazhayi. He was both the commander of the cavalry and the governor of Babylon, the Persian Empire. He was powerful and even Darius III was extremely afraid. At this moment, beside him, there were two horses, and two people in strange costumes were sitting on it.

Mazhayi turned her head and glanced at one of them, then quickly turned around, not daring to let him notice.

These two people in strange costumes came to the camp on the night of the meteor shower a few days ago, and quickly gained the trust and reliance of Darius III. They possessed magical power. When they remembered that day, on the high platform of the camp, Mazhayi was a little chilled.

The huge fireball that the woman suddenly appeared in her hand was waving it from a distance, and instantly burned a soldier who disrupted the morale of the army to charcoal, and could no longer recognize his original appearance. And the man waved his hand, the surface of the camp was covered with vines. You know, there was no grass growing in the desert! These vines were like living, wrapped around the bodies of more than a dozen prisoners, and only two breaths, the arrested soldiers turned blue and all died.

What kind of power is this? Was it given by the gods?

They claimed that they were the messengers sent by the gods to help the Persian Empire, and their mission was to kill Alexander. The magical manifestations of these two people brought great shocks, while also stabilizing the morale of the Persian Empire. All the soldiers of the Persian Empire believed in their statements. With such power, how can they explain besides the messengers of the gods?

Although the two men were wearing tight pants with a contour of their butts, wearing strange coats, and wearing various metal accessories, which were completely different from the image of the gods in the murals, no one dared to question them. Especially when the hot-tempered woman in red burned a soldier who was whispering to char, no one dared to say anything like that.

Today I was ordered to come out to follow Alexander's army and wait for an opportunity to harass them. These two envoys also wanted to come out, so the current scene came into being.

Next to Mazhayi, two god envoys were whispering.

They were wearing very tight pants, with large and small holes on them, revealing the skin inside. They had various shiny trinkets hanging on their tops, jingling. If Li Yeling was here, he would definitely recognize them. These two guys wearing jeans and casual jackets should be the so-called punk party. They can also recognize that the woman had a huge ‘mb’ logo on the corner of her clothes.

Both of them were not bad. The man was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a pretty face, but his face was a little pale, and his head was moxigan and dyed yellow. His eyes were shining with ruthlessness that was not consistent with his age. The girl next to him was about the same age as her tight trousers, a red jacket, dyed with big wavy curly hair, and the lingering arrogance between her eyebrows also showed that this was not a little pepper to mess with.

At this moment, the pale young man whispered with a bitter face: "Sister, what kind of suffering should we come out and suffer in this hot day! Let's go back as soon as possible!"

The girl in red glared at him coldly and said, "You are not afraid of suffering, you want to go back and fuck your little slutty hooves, right?"

The charming face forms a sharp contrast with the vulgar words.

The pale boy smiled flatteringly: "Sister, I can't hide anything from you, hehe..."

The girl sighed and said, "Xiaoliang, you are not young anymore, why are you so ignorant?"

The little Liang said embarrassedly: "My sister, what's wrong with me?"

The girl looked at his eyes and said, "We didn't enter the battlefield before. In reality, you can do whatever you want. It doesn't matter how many women you want, and it doesn't matter how many people you kill. But you have to remember that you are in the battlefield now! Now we have only completed one task and met Darius III. The other two tasks are far from being settled. You don't think about it carefully, and you are still indulging in beauty every day."

Xiaoliang curled his lips and said disapprovingly: "Isn't it just killing Alexander? What's so rare? There are a group of mortals in this battlefield. When we see our power, we are scared to the point of being so powerful. How strong can Alexander be? Then we will kill him with a fireball. Wouldn't that be enough?"

The girl said angrily: "Why can't you think about it? The Lord God is very stingy, and you don't think about it. How could it be so easy to have such a rich battlefield mission experience? You can really easily kill Alexander. Do you think it's possible?"

Xiaoliang said: "Then what do you think will happen?"

The girl said, "I think the Lord God must have added helpers to Alexander. Think about it! There are hundreds of thousands of people in the Persian Empire and only tens of thousands of people in the Macedonia. According to normal history, the Persian Empire will definitely win. Even if we don't intervene, the Persian Empire will still win. So what's the point of this battlefield?"

Xiaoliang said: "Help?"

The girl nodded and said, "I suspect that there are a few God-selected people coming over there."

Xiaoliang's eyes lit up immediately: "This is great! I have never played the Goddess Choss yet!"

The girl glared at him fiercely, scratched her head and said, "It's all because we didn't study hard in school. Although the Persian Empire must have won in history, we don't know how to win. We don't even know the specific direction of this battle, otherwise we can prepare more."

Xiaoliang nodded: "Yes! I only knew what the Tang and Qing dynasties in China were. This was the first time I heard of the name of the Persian Empire. As for Alexander, I knew he was a famous Italian AV male star..."

The two fools looked at each other, hey, they suffered from uneducated pain! If Li Yeling knew that his opponent was such two, he would probably smile bitterly...

On the evening of September 29, the Macedonian army camped about ten kilometers away from the Persian camp, dispersing wine and meat that night to nourish their energy.

In the early morning of September 30, the Macedonian army set up camp and formed a combat formation to approach the Persian army. Mazayi completed the surveillance mission and led his troops to retreat to the headquarters. Darius believed that Alexander was preparing for a decisive battle today, and ordered the Persian army to enter the pre-designated battlefield and set up a giant formation with a width of 8 kilometers on the front.

At noon, the Macedonian army occupied the high ground where Mazaryi had previously occupied. Looking south from here, the vast plain was covered with Persian troops, with noisy people and horses neighing, shining armor and spears like forests, which was shocking. The Macedonian officers and soldiers were dumbfounded when they saw this scene and looked at each other. Although Alexander had always been fearless, they couldn't help but worry at this time. For the first time, he ordered the attack to be suspended and camped on the spot. In the afternoon, Alexander sent light cavalry to carefully investigate the battlefield and approached Darius's garrison to observe Darius's formation.

As a confidant, Li Yeling was also assigned a war horse, following Alexander and Khomeiy, and observing the military formation of the Persian Empire from afar.

This was the first time Li Yeling had seen the army of the Persian Empire, and it was also the first time in his life that he had seen such a large group of people of this size.

Looking from a distance from the high ground, hundreds of thousands of troops of the Persian Empire formed a huge army of eight kilometers wide and in depth.

Li Yeling looked far away. The military formation of the Persian Empire was scattered on a gentle slope. At the front was Persian infantry holding a large shield high, forming a solid line of defense. Behind the infantry were rows of dense chariots, and behind the chariots were Darius III's luxury horse-drawn carriages. Further back were the highly mobile cavalry and tall camel cavalry.

The entire military formation, from bottom to top, was densely packed with huge slopes. Under the sun, in this boundless wasteland, it seemed that even the world was full.

This was the first time Li Yeling had seen a variety of troops from the Persian Empire.

After the Battle of Issus, Darius ordered the enlistment of troops in various provinces of the empire and formed an extremely large but low-quality infantry unit.

He also presided over the largest weapon replacement in the history of the Persian army. Most of the Persian cavalry were equipped with scale armor. The javelins used in the past were replaced with Greek-style spears, while the infantry had larger and thicker shields. Darius tried his best to find a good idea to break the dense spear formations of Macedonia, and finally hoped for the sickle chariot. Classical historical records show that the Persian chariot was dragged by four horses wearing heavy armor, each with a driver and one soldier.

It is equipped with spears, bows, arrows and several javelins about three meters long. The shaft of the chariot protrudes forward several meters, and the top is equipped with sharp angles, which are obviously used to break through the enemy's shield defense line. The two ends of the wheel axle are also equipped with one-meter-long triangular sickles. The sharp blades that rotate at high speed when rushing into the dense Greek array are invincible and can sweep the enemy soldiers nearby. The Persian chariot is bulky and not fast, but the impact is amazing. In theory, it is indeed a powerful tool to deal with the Macedonian spear phalanx.

The size of the Persian Empire's army was indeed huge. To the naked eye, Li Yeling's army was more than several times that of the Macedonian army.

Classical historians have different opinions on the number of Persian troops participating in the Battle of Gaugamira. Arian believes that there are 40,000 cavalry, 1 million infantry, and 200 chariots; Diodoro believes that there are 200,000 Persian cavalry, 800,000 infantry, and 200 chariots; the most conservative Kochus believes that there are 200,000 Persian infantry combat troops, 45,000 cavalry, and 200 chariots.

Li Yeling was still more inclined to the number of 200,000 people. After he came to this era, he had a personal experience that a large army of less than 50,000 people in Macedonia consumed so much supplies, food, and was equipped with such a large transportation team. In the classical era, a large army of millions could not be supplied at all.

However, even 200,000 is four times that of the Macedonian army, which is also an extremely terrifying number.

Except for Li Yeling, the other Macedonian generals who witnessed this scene all had a serious face. Although these armies were not elite compared to the Macedonian army, they were not the kind of peasant uprising army carrying hoes and wooden sticks. They were also a large army with strict military discipline. When they stood there, hundreds of thousands of troops were spread out, like mountains, like mountains and peaks, and had a calming momentum.

Even if you stand a few kilometers away from the military formation, you can feel the murderous aura like a mountain, and you want to press them down hard from your head, press them under your body, and you will never be reborn.

Alexander drove his horse around the high ground, waved his hand with a serious expression: "Go back to the camp!"

Facing the powerful, at least a huge Persian army, Alexander showed unprecedented caution at the beginning of the Battle of Gaugamira. If he wins this battle, he can defeat the Persian army in front of him, swing his sword until the city of Babylon, and rule the Persian capital and become the master of this huge land.

If you lose, you will be defeated and completely defeated. The Macedonian army of 50,000 people in front of you is the only and last force in Alexander's hands. Almost all the adult men in Macedonia are here, and there is no soldiers to conquer and no food available in the country.

This is a battle of national destiny, you can only win, not lose!

After returning to the camp, Alexander locked himself in the camp tent, and no one saw him. It was obviously thinking hard to deal with it.

Li Yeling was the same. After returning to his own tent, he thought about countermeasures, but after thinking for a long time, he couldn't figure out the reason. As long as he followed the normal historical trajectory and nothing unexpected happened, Macedonia would win steadily and not lose, and there was no need to think about countermeasures.

The most important point in this war trajectory was Alexander. Li Yeling clearly remembered that the two armies fought for one day, and at the end, the opportunity for victory of this war appeared. It was that Alexander led thousands of elite guard cavalry under his storm to the throne carriage of Darius III, threw a short spear and killed Darius's coachman, which aroused Darius' fear and escaped first. The emperor's escape also caused panic among the entire army and the great defeat of the Persian army.

That's how victory comes about.
