Chapter 31 Witnesses
At this time, Yun Qi did not have the intention to keep it in hiding, especially in front of the two military commanders, the price of keeping it in hiding points will only be to reduce points, not add points.
"The two are new to the Uberia Strait and don't know much about the situation. According to locals, in this season, at night, the waves are the strongest. We can handle this seemingly powerful navy without sending too many people."
Dassus and Leonida looked at each other, but they didn't expect that a big problem would be easily solved by Yun Qi's mouth. "It's that simple?"
Yun Qi knew that they would definitely not believe it based on their words. It would not be too cautious in making decisions that concern nearly 10,000 people's lives and deaths.
"Of course it won't be that simple. First of all, the Persian commander is not an idiot. Since the navy is docking, he assigned some people to station on the coastline. Based on the principle of not putting eggs in a basket, he mostly moved about half of the baggage to the shore. Once Poseidon's anger was released on the Persian ships, they could still retain at least half of the food and grass."
King Leonida frowned with the word "chuan" on his brow. When facing forty times his own troops, if the opponent still retains sufficient food and grass, it is definitely not good news for them who are defending.
"Anyway, we must destroy all the baggage of the Persians." Leonida made the final decision.
But the question is how to destroy nearly half of the baggage?
Even if the enemy distributes 4,000 troops to garrison the coastline, it is difficult for the Wenquan Pass to mobilize sufficient troops to attack the supplies there. Even if it is a sneak attack, at least 1,000 elite troops must be mobilized.
"I have a way, this way, this way, this way," Yun Qi said out his planned plan.
Leonida and Dassus became more and more surprised when they heard it. It was not only because Yun Qi’s plan was surprising, but also because the content was too bold.
"You are not kidding. How could you kill half of the Persians on the shore in the people you mentioned?" Dassus was incredibly opposed it. In his opinion, Yun Qi's strategy was simply equivalent to a joke.
However, King Leonida listened to every word Yun Qi said, and seemed to be thinking about his whimsical thoughts, and did not make a clear statement for a long time.
Seeing the expressions of the two commanders, Yun Qi knew that he had already succeeded halfway, and now he needed to win the support of his other half.
So he patiently explained to Dassos, "General Dassos, I need to point out your mistakes here carefully. In my plan, I do not expect to annihilate the Persian troops on the coastline in one battle. We only need to make the Persian decision makers think that there is no ship safety on the coast."
"But, even if you are right, why do you guarantee that after tonight, the warships docked in the harbor will suffer from the wrath of the gods? I am not blasphemous, and as we all know, the gods do not participate in the battles of the mortal world."
It has to be said that Dassus was relatively rational in ancient times when the gods worshipped.
He did not deny the existence of God, nor did he bet on victory on the undecisive miracles.
Yun Qi naturally couldn't speak out without any reason. He immediately gave Hager a wink. Just when Hager was at a loss, a voice sounded from his heart.
Haig immediately understood that this must be what Yun Qi said in advance, "there is a heart-to-heart relationship" and accepted it immediately.
A few minutes later, two agile elders came to Hager and stood by. After Hager gave him a message, they set off unwillingly.
About half an hour later, the two of them came to King Leonida with a unique man.
It was a man with severe hunchback. I don’t know if he was indeed old or because of deformity, he aging prematurely. The man looked in his fifties.
Dassus had never seen such an ugly man, who was cursed by the gods, so that his back, which was hunched to 90 degrees, was covered with disgusting sarcoma.
It's really hard to believe that this guy can survive until now!
However, Dassus quickly shifted his gaze from the deformed man's body to his clothes.
It was a very familiar equipment, a bright brass equipment, and you can tell at a glance that it was a typical Spartan heavy infantry standard equipment.
Could this guy be a Spartan?
As we all know, Sparta has a written rule.
From the moment the baby is born from the womb, he must be taken to the elder for examination within the specified time.
If the elder thinks he is unhealthy, he will be thrown into the abandoned baby field in the wilderness.
The mother also bathes the baby with strong liquor. If he gets fucked or loses consciousness, it proves that he is not strong in physique and lets him die because he cannot grow into a good warrior.
The weak Spartan babies are difficult to survive the strict screening of elders, let alone the deformed babies at first glance.
"Are you a Spartan?" Leonida sat calmly by the bonfire and asked the deformed man expressionlessly.
"My king, my name is Efiati. After I was born, my parents were reluctant to hand me over to the elders, and kept me secretly. In order to escape from the eyes and ears of my neighbors, they gave up their homes and came here from the main city of Sparta." The deformed man opened his mouth full of disorganized teeth, and finished his meaning with some confusion.
Leonida nodded and looked at Yun Qi who was silent. He didn't expect to find such a local person.
"I think your equipment should be left to you by your father." King Leonida looked at Efiati again. The equipment was well maintained.
You should know that the smelting technology of ancient metal utensils was limited and had not yet reached the technical level of anti-rust coating. This man named Efiati was obviously not the original owner of this equipment. From this, it can be seen that his feelings for this equipment were second only to his parents.
"Yes, my king. For me, my father left the battlefield he liked and bid farewell to the badge of glory, which has always been a pity. I hope to inherit my father's will and fight for my king. Please let me join your camp."
Leonida didn't expect that the other party would suddenly propose to join the array of defense. He looked at Efiati's seriously deformed body and had a certain idea in his heart.
But he was not good at rejecting the party's desire to fight bloodyly, just like he never decided on the challenge of a strong enemy.
"Efiati, I'll come to you, hoping to learn about the situation in the Strait of Uberia." King Leonida went straight to the topic.
Efiati's answer once again confirmed Yun Qi's intelligence.
After proving the danger of the strait night, Efiati once again proposed to his king to join the camp of 300 warriors. He tried his best to prove to all Spartans that he was not a waste, and at the same time he also cleared the humiliation of his parents leaving their hometown.
"The battlefield is not a game. You have to face the favor of the God of Death anytime and anywhere." Leonida said politely.
However, as the mercenaries of the reincarnation, they all looked at this deformed man with a look of greed like a hungry jackal, seeing a wounded zebra falling to the ground. To be continued.
