Chapter 73 The Battle of Troy

The long sound of "Zheng" was the ear-piercing sound of the clash of weapons. Under the city of Ilion, amidst the sky filled with yellow sand, the soldiers of Greece and Troy watched the two commanders quietly and solemnly. Life and death struggle between heroes.

The tip of the spear pierced Hector's chest. Although it was blocked by the close-fitting mail armor, Achilles was so powerful that the heavy impact caused Hector to break two ribs.

Achilles turned the handle of the spear, hooked the spearhead to the opponent's armor, and dragged along, Hector was almost dragged out of the chariot.

Amidst the ear-piercing sound of friction, the driver steered the chariot abruptly, leading Hector out of danger.Seeing how he arched his back and clutched his chest, it was obvious that he was seriously injured. Loxias said, "Declare a truce, Hector!"

The outcome between him and Achilles has been divided, and he can only die in vain if he persists.

"Hector, come again!" Achilles chased after the victory, and the morale of the Greek coalition behind him was high, waving spears to the sky and shouting praises: "Achilles, the invincible hero!"

Loxias drove the chariot around the city, followed by Achilles, his appearance was too ugly.

The Greek soldiers pointed and laughed loudly: "The lost dog!" Some people laughed and said, "Prince Hector of Ilion is a timid coward! The goddess of the moon loves such a woman." '?"

The few Trojan soldiers in the city all had their eyes split open and were extremely angry. Hector was also roaring: "Turn the horse's head and let me fight him! I can't let the goddess and my motherland be insulted !"

During the violent jolt of the chariot, Roxias said without looking back, "She told me to save your life!"

Hector couldn't listen, and jumped out of the car, rolling on the gravel.Seeing this, Achilles also jumped out of the car, and rushed towards him before he could stand still. There was a loud "clang", and in the billowing dust, both of them had bloodshot eyes and wild hair, as if they had lost their minds Bite and roll into a ball like a beast.

Suddenly, Hector's eyes widened, and in his slowly moving downward gaze, the opponent's sword pierced his abdomen, and with a plop, he fell to his knees.Achilles pulled out his sword suddenly, and a column of blood rushed out of the blood hole.

Achilles was panting, and behind him was a sea of ​​cheering people, and Hector still stood on his knees and did not fall.When Achilles raised his sword and slashed towards his neck, a man rushed from behind Hector, grabbed the blade of the sword, and kicked the blond Gorgon hero away with one kick.

"Then, who is that?" As if being strangled by a giant hand, the Greek generals and soldiers stared at Loxias who suddenly appeared.He was dressed in silver armor without a helmet, and his extremely handsome face was even more revealed.

"It's the bard!" Some Greeks recognized him and felt even more unacceptable.

This man once traveled around the city with his lyre, and no one drove him out of the Greek barracks because of his Greek appearance. On the contrary, he was very welcome to bring songs and poems to their dull life.When he smiled, there were two dimples on his cheeks, and he looked amiable and cute.Before today, if someone said "Roxias defeated Achilles", this poor joke must have caused laughter.

However, at this moment, Achilles had no countermeasures under Roxias' magnificent skill.His wrist is incredibly flexible, and the blade always stabs from weird angles, making it hard to guard against.Even though he was able to resist with a shield, his left arm was numb. The opponent's body, which was not sturdy, could burst out with a force stronger than his own. The invincible Achilles felt defeated for the first time. sign.

Not far away, the doomed Prince Ailion fell into a gentle embrace.

A white dress appeared in people's sight, and the silver hair and the hem of the skirt touched the ground. She knelt down and held his smoky face, encouraging her in an infinitely gentle voice: "Hold on, Hector." The palm covered his wound, and the opened flesh and blood healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the blood gradually returned to his face.

The battle between Loxias and Achilles is coming to an end. Although the opponent is invulnerable, the hero who is a bard is not discouraged at all. Repeated heavy blows make Achilles back again and again, only to feel as if he has become a bard. Forged iron, the chest was constantly hit by a giant hammer. When the star was staring at him, the back of Loxias's broad sword hit his head, and Achilles fell straight back with a "bang" .

"Victory, victorious! Troy has won!"

The blond bard pointed his sword straight at the sky. Amid the cheers of the soldiers behind him, the city gate rumbled open, and a group of soldiers on horseback galloped out of the city.The Greek coaches, headed by Agamemnon, laughed at each other.

The domestication of wild horses is not easy. In this era, horseshoes have not been invented, and there is no saddle. In addition to being used in chariots, no one will directly ride the horses - anyone who tries to do so will be broken The bones of the whole body serve as a price and a warning.

"A group of barbarians!" Agamemnon sneered heavily.Achilles was defeated. In fact, he was happy to see the result, "That kid who doesn't pay attention to me because of his reputation, should go to Hades as soon as possible, which is his proper destination!"

Facing the galloping cavalry, the arrogant Agamemnon didn't care at all.

The oncoming cavalry leader was leading an empty horse, and Roxias turned on the horse neatly, and after high-fiving the opponent in the air, he took over the command.The three hundred cavalry were divided into three teams, charging all the way from the middle, disrupting the opponent's formation.The other two teams outflanked from the left and right flanks respectively, beheading the fleeing soldiers.Ilion's soldiers galloped through the Greek phalanx on horseback, and broke them up after a few back and forth.

Angrily, Agamemnon ordered them to disperse, but the encirclement had already been formed, and what awaited them was a massacre like harvesting wheat in autumn.Like a red torrent, Roxias, who was on the crest of the wave, began to single out many heroes in the Greek camp.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Odysseus snatched Achilles' body from the driver of the chariot, turned around and ran away: "Don't worry, I will protect Achilles!" Shameless!The Greeks around who witnessed this scene all spit on his back.

On the way to escape, Athena's darling prayed desperately to her, begging the goddess to bring victory to Greece.

As if responding to his call, Athena threw the battle ax in the air. It became huge, and the blade of the ax flashing with lightning struck the ground, drawing a crack several meters long on the ground.The soldiers in the melee screamed and fell in, and the battlefield was divided into two halves.

"Go back!" Roxias jumped over the crack with his horse, and the Ilion cavalry followed behind him.

The soldiers who had no time to escape died tragically in the strangulation of the Greeks, after both sides cleaned up the enemy soldiers on their side.

Across the dark cracks in the ground, the Greeks and the Trojans once again separated into two sides facing each other.

Athena, who descended from the sky, came to the edge of the gap and pointed at the opposite goddess: "Artemis, you violated the order of God the Father!"

Al fell on deaf ears to her self-talking accusations.She beckoned for Roxias and told him to take Hector back to the city for medical treatment. Hector held her hand and couldn't bear to let go, trying to express that he could continue to fight for her.Al said in a soft voice: "Although I have healed your external injuries, you still need to recuperate from the damage inside your body. Go back, it will not be your responsibility after this."

After all, Hector was carried away by the bard who only obeyed the orders of the goddess. Al stood up, turned around, and floated to the other side of the gap without a trace of dust on his skirt, looking calmly at the opposite said Athena.

"Paris, I don't understand what you're talking about. Does Father God have any orders? Why didn't I receive the oracle?"

Athena was furious. Of course, this was not a decree, but a customary rule among the gods.

Because of the destructive power of the battle of gods, after the battle between Apollo and Poseidon that destroyed Atlantis, Zeus stipulated that the gods of Olympus could not fight each other. He judged the winner or loser through the battle between the human beings enshrined by his subordinates.

However, it is absolutely forbidden to directly intervene in the struggle between the two parties.Even if someone wants to hurt their darling, they cannot directly deal with the other party, but they can help their darling to defeat others. This is the rule of the game among the gods.

Even if she did treat them as pawns, Athena dared not say it in front of many humans.Other gods are not shy about advocating this point, but Athena, who cares most about her image in humans, will never do so.

"Put away your best sophistry! Are you really not afraid of God the Father's wrath on you, Artemis?" Athena persuaded with a look of grief: "I really don't know what your reliance is, Apollo still In the midst of hard labor, don't you wake up?"

Zeus, who had rushed from the top of Olympus, heard this, stopped in the air, and used the clouds to hide his figure.

According to the script he wrote, Hector and Achilles should both die in battle. This time Ilion was defeated, and the Greeks took advantage of the victory to pursue and conquer the city of Troy. This should have been the result, but it was reversed because of Al's intervention. situation.

So he hurried down the mountain, preparing to issue an oracle, ordering the gods not to intervene in the Trojan war.

However, after hearing Athena's words, he also wanted to wait and see, what made Artemis so arrogant?Does she have any unplayed hole cards?Thinking about it this way, Zeus decided to let the other gods try it first.His eyes swept over Hera who arrived later, and the husband and wife looked at each other for a moment, and their eyes coincided with the battlefield below, paying attention to the confrontation between Athena and Artemis.
