What is the real hot spring pass campaign?

The Battle of Wenquanguan is the third Bo Shi War in which the Greek allied forces fought. The use of the hot spring pass, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack, delayed the strategic encirclement of the ancient Persian army from north to south. Start the war machine for Greece and win precious time. Specifically:

1, invincible loneliness, strategic detour

When the ancient Persian Empire became invincible and lonely? At that time, ancient Greece across the Aegean Sea became its dream goal. So the ancient Persian empire began its expedition to the Greek city-states three times in a row.

After two failures, Xue Xisi decided that in the spring of 480 BC, Asia Minor would assemble a Persian million-strong army, which was divided into two roads: land and sea, and made a strategic detour from the northern shore of the Aegean Sea to the Greek city-state, with Lu Haijun running parallel to the west of the Aegean Sea. The army crossed the hot spring pass (Demobil Pass) and went straight to central Greece. The navy advanced along the west coast of the Aegean Sea, bypassing the southwest of Athens.

2, the risk will be accepted, focusing on time.

Therefore, in the face of such a crisis, the Greek Coalition forces must be stopped by someone. There are mountains in the east and swamps in the west. Only through the hot spring pass passed by a carriage can we build a deep defense for the interior of the Greek city-state and win time. More importantly, it can also buy time for the Greek Coalition forces to deal with the navy in the late ancient Persia. So as to give full play to the advantages of the Greek navy and make the Greek Coalition forces reverse their disadvantages in the future.

3, traitors betray, experts behind.

So he guarded the army in the hot spring. More than 4,000 Greek allied forces based on Sparta's 300 heavy infantry, here 10,000 people can't force it, but one person guards it, and they have written a chapter in history with unparalleled courage!

After two days of fierce fighting, the Persian army's attack was seriously frustrated, and the appearance of a Greek leader changed the war situation. Elite? The undead? Take a shortcut to bypass the hot spring pass, defeat the defenders of the hot spring guards and surround them. When King Leonidas of Sparta learned that the defenders were about to be besieged. He chose this brave general to lead his 300 Spartan soldiers and 700 Sesby city-state soldiers to cover the retreat of large troops. Only when you are caught between Scylla and Charybdis, you are all killed.
