As the sun sets, the guns and cannons on Mount Gillini are gradually extinguishing.

The Spartan army failed to ambush, and returned to the emperor and was ambushed by the Chinese Emperor, but the corpses accumulated like mountains and blood flowed into a river.

When he left, the troops were boundless and unblocked, and the momentum was so great that he had the courage to destroy the Emperor of China in one breath.

But when he came back, only Phylobidas and a few guard platoon soldiers around him, the bodies of the Wanspartan army remained in Mount Gillini forever.

It was so miserable that Philobidas wanted to take out his gun to commit suicide, but unfortunately he was still afraid of death, so he finally failed to take action and fled to Sparta in shame.

Ye Zhichao in the rear was very happy when he learned that Yuan Shikai had a good start and ordered the officers and soldiers of Yuan Shikai to reward him and urge Yuan Shikai to advance quickly and pursue the victory.

China Universe has a large number of trucks and motorcycles, and is unique to the world.

At the command of Yuan Shikai, ten fire reconnaissance assault vehicles drove the way forward, and all the officers and soldiers of the battalion took motorcycles and military cards, with very strong mobility.

Later that day, the Pioneer Battalion had already arrived at Sparta.

At this time, Sparta City had not received any news of defeat in front of the war. Because the Chinese Empire was maneuvering too fast, Philobidas and his guards were still walking in the mountains. They dared not walk on the road. They watched the Chinese Emperor run ahead of them.

Phillobidas was really anxious to do his job. He wanted to inform the Spartan defenders to strengthen their defense, but he was powerless.

The defenders of Sparta City were still proud at this moment, believing that this time, Phillobidas led more than 10,000 troops to ambush, and even if they could not completely wipe out the Chinese Emperor*, they could still hurt him. Therefore, Sparta City was foolproof.

With this luck, Sparta City was lax in defense until she saw the Chinese Emperor suddenly rushing to the city with rolling sand and dust, and then she woke up like a dream.

"Enemy attack!"

"Enemy attack!"

"Closing the suspension bridge quickly and closing the city gate!"

Unfortunately it's too late!

The firepower reconnaissance vehicle of the Emperor of China accelerated and rushed to attack, and fired machine guns from afar.

The heavy machine gun was exerted, and the bullets were like rain in an instant, and the Spartan army guarding the city gate fled in a hurry, with heavy casualties.

Some defenders tried to put away the suspension bridge and close the city gate, but they were instantly beaten into a hornet's nest, with flesh and blood flying everywhere.

The remaining defenders around him suddenly turned pale and were so scared that they peeed in their pants. There was no information to resist. It was important to escape quickly.

In this way, the Chinese Emperor*'s firepower reconnaissance assault vehicle rushed across the suspension bridge and rushed in along the city gate.

Four chariots were left to guard the city gate, waiting for the arrival of the Chinese Imperial infantry convoy behind, while the other chariots rushed into Spartan City, hunting for the fleeing Spartans along the way, and shooting heavy machine guns, whether it was the Spartans or civilians.

For a moment, the city of Sparta was full of chaos.

The city gate was lost so quickly that there were still tens of thousands of Spartan soldiers in the military camp in the city without reacting, and they learned that the city gate was lost and the Chinese Empire had attacked. They had been psychologically scared by the power of the Chinese Empire and were immediately in chaos.

Just when the Spartan army was panicked, Yuan Shikai had already led his army to completely control the city gate.

"This is the power of a mechanized army! This kind of maneuverability can often catch the enemy off guard in the future. It is really the best choice for city stealing tactics, which is really great!"

Yuan Shikai was so proud that Ye Zhichao behind him was extremely excited, and at the same time, he prompted Wang Shizhen to reinforce.

I originally thought that Spartan City was difficult to attack and would inevitably be compared by the 357th Regiment. As a result, a victory in a counter-ambush directly resulted in the annihilation of the Spartan army and even stole Spartan City in one fell swoop.

This is the first time I have encountered such a smooth battle.

"Your Majesty is indeed wise and powerful. He created this mechanized infantry, which is much stronger than the ancient cavalry!"

When Ye Zhichao arrived at the Spartan city gate, he looked at the flag of the Chinese Empire and the flag of the Shence Army near the city gate, and was filled with emotion.

Yuan Shikai smiled and said, "Group, we are going to make a comeback this time!"

Ye Zhichao nodded and said, "That's natural! Don't worry, you will not lose your credit!"

Yuan Shikai suddenly blushed and said, "Look at what you said, do I still care if that little contribution is achieved?"

At this time, when Wang Shizhen learned that Ye Zhichao had arrived, he also rushed over.

"How is the city?"

"There are still some remaining enemies who are resisting, but the main force has been defeated by our army. The remaining enemies are just bullying us and we don't understand the terrain of Sparta, so we are still trapping beasts and fighting."

Ye Zhichao nodded and said, "Eliminate the remaining enemies as soon as possible. This Spartan city was defeated by our regiment. We must submit the battle report before the 357th regiment reports its military achievements. This is very important!"

Wang Shizhen and Yuan Shikai looked at each other and knew what this meant and whether they could turn things around was here.

Under the strong supervision of Yuan Shikai and Wang Shizhen, the soldiers of the 358th Regiment fought bravely and quickly eliminated the remaining enemies in Sparta City.

Chief of Staff Cao Kun immediately sent troops to occupy all important departments of Sparta, especially the vault.

Although Sparta is very poor, mosquito meat is also meat!

"Tongzhang, how do you report this vault property? Do you want it..."

"Report it truthfully! We cannot make a slight mistake now!"

Ye Zhichao said very carefully. He knew that Cao Kun meant to hide some private matters and give some gifts to Shangfeng, but this didn't work! At least it wouldn't work for him, Ye Zhichao.

History completely transformed Ye Zhichao at this moment, and it was not the Ye Zhichao that history used to be.

The battle report was quickly reported to the division headquarters, and the commanders of the division headquarters were also shocked. They handed over the most difficult task to the 358th Regiment, but Ye Zhichao and the others completed it well. Instead, they got the 357th Regiment, which was the easiest task, but they have not completed the established combat mission yet.

"It's not difficult for them. It seems that they have great luck! Forget it, you can't do it too much. It doesn't matter if you make things difficult for you to suppress it. At this time, you can't make special contributions. You can't reward the 358th Regiment and report it to the Ministry of War to give the officials of the Ministry of War a headache!"

This time the division headquarters did not treat it differently, and the 358th Regiment's military achievements were truthfully reported.

In the distant capital of Beijing, Wu Yong, Secretary of War, submitted a report to Li Weiguo.

"Spartan? Three Hundred Spartan Warriors?"

Li Weiguo was stunned and immediately remembered a very famous movie "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta".

Wu Yong was shocked and gave a look to combat staff officer Liu Mingchuan.

Liu Mingchuan then said: "I didn't expect that your Majesty also knew this legend! The 300 Spartan warriors were very famous in ancient Greek history and have always been the pride of the Greeks. Especially in Spartan City, the Spartans still believe in the 300 Spartan warriors and have never surrendered to the Ottoman Empire. They are the strongest combat power in the Greek army. I didn't expect that they would be defeated by Ye Zhichao and the others."

Liu Mingchuan deliberately mentioned Ye Zhichao's name. His original intention was to hope that the emperor would pay attention to Ye Zhichao. As long as the dragon face was very happy, Ye Zhichao might be able to rise to the top.

However, Liu Mingchuan never expected that it would not matter if he didn't mention it. When he mentioned Ye Zhichao's name, it caused Li Weiguo's frown and alertness.

"Ye Zhichao?"

"Where are people?"

“What did you do before?”

When Liu Mingchuan saw that Li Weiguo's expression was not good, his heart suddenly became nervous, but he dared not not say anything.

"Thank you, Ye Zhichao is from Hefei. He was once a surrendered general of the Huai Army. Later, he was educated and further studied by the Emperor's School. Ten years ago, his subordinates conquered the indigenous people of Southeast Asia and made many military achievements."

"Li Hongzhang's old subordinate?"

Li Weiguo's brows turned even tighter.

Liu Mingchuan felt that he was almost going to be dark in front of him. He regretted not mentioning Ye Zhichao's name. Who would have thought that His Majesty the Emperor would know a little person like Ye Zhichao? This is too outrageous!

Liu Mingchuan smiled bitterly and quickly explained: "Your Majesty, although Ye Zhichao once served as a general in the Huai Army, he was not successful and did not belong to the direct line of the Huai Army. He had no relationship with Li Hongzhang a long time ago!"

Li Weiguo knew that Liu Mingchuan wanted to protect Ye Zhichao, but now Li Weiguo's understanding of Ye Zhichao is still based on historical knowledge. Ye Zhichao lost the Battle of Pyongyang, which can be said to be the most shameful account in the history of the Chinese nation, just like the Beiyang Navy losing the Battle of the Yellow Sea. It is impossible for Li Weiguo to not have any grudges.

But Li Weiguo did not refuse to give Liu Mingchuan face. He believed in Liu Mingchuan's character.

"I just ask you one thing, can you trust Ye Zhichao?"

Liu Mingchuan was stunned, then thought for a while, and finally said seriously: "He has been following his followers for ten years and can trust him!"

Li Weiguo nodded and asked again: "Ye Zhichao is worthy of your trust, but you have been transferred back to the General Staff for five years. Can Ye Zhichao still keep his heart? Wouldn't he be encouraged by his subordinates?"

Liu Mingchuan thought for a while and replied: "This shouldn't be possible! Ye Zhichao's subordinates are only a few, Yuan Shikai, Wang Shizhen, and Cao Kun. Although they are all former generals of the Huai Army, they are still obedient!"

"What? Who are you talking about? Yuan Shikai is Ye Zhichao's subordinate?"

Li Weiguo was shocked and suddenly his imagination was a little too small.

One Ye Zhichao is enough to have a headache. Yuan Shikai, Wang Shizhen, and Cao Kun are all his subordinates. What the hell is this?

Is history so funny?

What are you having fun with me?

Not to mention that Li Weiguo was confused, Liu Mingchuan's heart was also collapsed at this moment.

Damn! What's wrong today? I didn't look at the almanac when I went out!

He just mentioned Ye Zhichao's name, which made His Majesty unhappy. It seemed that His Majesty knew that Ye Zhichao was still very unfriendly. As a result, he mentioned Ye Zhichao's subordinates, Yuan Shikai, Wang Shizhen and Cao Kun, but unexpectedly, the three words Yuan Shikai seemed to touch the emperor's sensitive nerves again.

"Your Majesty, do you know Yuan Shikai too?"

Liu Mingchuan asked weakly, unable to understand that Yuan Shikai was just a pawn, and even officials at the prefecture level knew about it. Why did he register in the emperor's mind?

This is unscientific!

"I heard a little!"

Li Weiguo also came to his senses and said lightly.

I can't tell Liu Mingchuan that Yuan Shikai is very awesome. In history, he undermined the power of the Qing court, usurped the throne of president of China, and finally became the emperor's ambitious man. He may usurp the Chinese Empire and the Li family's country in the future.

Seeing that Li Weiguo's face was not good, Liu Mingchuan regretted it so much that his intestines were blue.

He thought to himself: Ye Zhichao, it’s not that I don’t want to promote you, but that your name is actually registered with Your Majesty. And your subordinate Yuan Shikai, it seems that His Majesty became even more unhappy when he heard this name. If I mention you again, I’m afraid I will not be able to protect myself!
