In the end, Darius I's army lost 80,000 people! What level of concept is this? We have to understand that before, hundreds of our human ancestors were a tribe, so the current imperial war,

This is really terrible. It has reached a level that we modern people can’t even imagine! More than 80,000 people died tragically in the Danube and on its banks. Don’t we just say that some people died? No! We need to understand.

, the bodies of people who died in the Danube River are absolutely not recovered. They will rot, so the consequences are also very serious.

The Scythians also lost a lot of people. In fact, the number of people killed in the army of Darius I was almost the same. But the only difference is that the Scythians' home is here, and they can recruit people from the rear as warriors at any time.

Darius I wanted to go here to replenish troops, or even replenish food, weapons, and even ships. This would require a long journey, and this was not easy at all.

In the end, Darius I had to retreat, because if he did not retreat and continue to fight the Scythians to the death, he would get no benefits at all and would only completely bury his army in the Danube River.

This bloody battle also had a great negative impact on Darius I. Since Darius I became the king of Persia, his life seemed to be very smooth, and he never said he would lose.

It was so tragic. Of course, this also dealt a huge blow to Darius!

Therefore, in the next ten years, Darius I did not dare to send troops to conquer the outside world, and he still did not recover from the war with the Scythians. Another is that in the war with the Scythians, the Persian Empire obviously

The losses were heavy. This is no joke. We can think about it. More than 80,000 soldiers died in the first battle, and this does not include the lost weapons, ships, and even other armors, etc. This must be really systematic.

Calculated, it can really scare people to death!

But Darius is Darius after all. He is destined to be an extraordinary person. Besides, he has already been extraordinary. Although he failed in the battle with the Scythians, the civilians of the Persian Empire were resentful. But at that time Darius

When the warriors attacked the Scythians, some of the warriors were still slaves, so this slightly reduced Darius's negative influence in the Persian Empire.

Besides, Darius is the king of Persia after all, and the Persian Empire is still so huge, it is completely the overlord! So the civilians and nobles of Persia did not dare to say anything. In the end, Darius recovered after more than ten years.

And the army was redeveloped.

But the purpose of developing the army from the beginning was not that Darius wanted to attack other places, but to suppress various rebellions, because the Persian Empire was too huge, and there were more slave countries or other places.

Leaders and so on have the possibility of rebellion. For example, when Darius first took the throne of the Persian Empire, he immediately experienced the so-called rebellion. Therefore, Darius had very strict requirements on the quantity and even quality of the army.

I am also very willing to spend money on the military.

Now that Darius's army has recovered after more than ten years, it has gained strength. At this time, Darius's Persian Empire is actually the overlord, just like our modern United States today. They like to give others

Countries colonize, and then indirectly control the internal affairs of other countries. In fact, Darius also did this. Darius colonized a place called Asia Minor in the Greek Empire, just because he wanted to control Asia Minor through colonization and control it in their Persian Empire.

In this way, the resources and wealth created by the people of Asia Minor can be obtained.

But this place is a colony of Greece. Greece calls this place Miletus. And the Greek empire is not easy to mess with! It is completely comparable to the Persian Empire in strength, and this place was originally colonized by the Greeks.

So the Greeks think that this place belongs to them, so what does it have to do with the Persian Empire? Moreover, the Greeks have long wanted to conquer Persia! In fact, Darius I of Persia has long wanted to conquer Greece.

Do we all still remember the Spartans in the Greek city-states we talked about before? So, currently our two largest and most powerful empires on the earth have begun their initial collision! This is really going to happen next

It was a huge battle, and it was really the most violent moment in the most super bloody storm!

Darius knew that Greece was very strong at this time, but Darius believed that Greece would not fight against Persia for a small place like Miletus. So we can also say that in fact, Darius I’s decision-making at this time

, was originally meant to test whether Greece's attitude was tough enough.

But it was Darius I’s temptation that went wrong! Darius I personally led his army to Miletus because the Greeks in Miletus didn’t like the Persians and killed the Persian colonists. And the Greeks also

Don't be afraid of the Persians and don't accept the tough attitude of the Persians.

This tough attitude of the Greeks was what made Darius I completely furious. Darius I personally led the army this time and directly massacred Miletus!

The cruelty of Darius I not only demonstrated the power and toughness of the Persian Empire, but also made the people of the Greek Empire very angry. Some people in the Greek Empire fled back from Miletus and reported to the Greek high-level officials.

The people told the story of what happened in Miletus with added salt and vinegar, and even told the top Greek officials that Darius I looked down on the Greek Empire.

Is it okay if something like this happened at this time? We all know that in Greece, they are not easy to mess with at all, especially the Spartans, a city-state in Greece! There were only 30,000 Spartans in this group.

They controlled hundreds of thousands of slaves, which shows the strength of the Spartans, and the militarized management model of the Spartans. This made the Spartans indeed a group of war madmen, and

His temper is also very bad.

So the Spartans also heard about this and expressed great anger! They vowed to destroy Persia to the death! But Persia is not an empire that is easy to mess with. We all know how big it is, and the top leaders of Greece also understand this.

However, the top leaders of Greece also understand how strong they are, so they will definitely not let the Persians bully them like this.

Finally, Greece sent troops to attack the Persian army that was still in Miletus. The Persian army was really bleeding like a river under the attack of the Greek army! Because this time the soldiers sent by Greece included Spartans, and we

It can also be said that Spartan warriors accounted for the vast majority.

Although the Persian army has also undergone very strict training, it is not at the same level as the Spartans, a group of soldiers who are a complete military power. Therefore, when the Persian army beats the Spartans, it is because there are too many ants to bite them.

The attack was in the form of a dead elephant. It can be said that dozens of Persians were killed before one Spartan could be killed. Sometimes even dozens of Persians could not kill one Spartan.

This kind of war is a bit weird. Darius I has indeed fought for almost his whole life. He has never encountered such a situation, so he is a little shocked. But this does not mean that Darius I is afraid of the Greek army. Anyway,

In the end, the Persian army and the Greek army fought to the point of darkness. The battlefield was full of human corpses and minced meat. This was simply not an ordinary war. It was like a slaughterhouse for us humans.

Same!

In such a scene, let’s not mention that there were too many dead people and the blood that flowed out dyed the earth and even the sky red. Let’s first say that in this kind of war scene, many less courageous soldiers were frightened.

To the point of losing their souls, what is even more frightening is that there are soldiers who are frightened to death by this level of bloodshed that exceeds our common sense as humans.

Darius's army was completely defeated by the Greek army. Darius would be very angry, even furious! But he had no better way and could only be forced to retreat. Because at this time in Miletus

In the human slaughterhouse that took place, almost all their Persian warriors were being slaughtered.

This battle did scare Darius I a little, and after Darius I was forced to retreat, he felt very unhappy. So a large number of troops were mobilized, and then Darius made up a lie.

The judge said: When Persia attacked Miletus, the Greek navy came to the aid of Miletus, so we sent troops to Greece!

In fact, according to our modern concepts today, there is no need for Darius I to fabricate this lie. Because Greece provided assistance, but it was just because the Greek people living in Miletus fled back and made the incident infinitely more complicated.

But no matter what, it is true that Greece aided Mili anyway.

Darius I is currently leading more troops and attacks Greece directly, but the Greeks rise up to resist! And this fight lasts for eight years!

In the past eight years, whether it was the Persian Empire or the Greek Empire, every war between these two huge powers resulted in countless casualties! There were even some towns that Persia captured today and Greece took back tomorrow.

Then Persia conquered again! This war can hardly be called a war. In these eight years, only God knows how many people died, and most of the dead were civilians, because there was so much resentment and anger between the two countries.

Taotian, no one will obey anyone! So once a town is captured, the general military discipline is to drive out all the living creatures in the city! And what do these so-called living creatures refer to? In fact, they are civilians.

But at this point, neither the Persian Empire nor the Greek Empire thought that the war would last for such a long time. Because the Persian Empire believed that their country was powerful and had sufficient military strength, and this was indeed the case.

, countless Persian civilians and even slaves in slave countries have become the military force of the Persian Empire. The casualties in the past eight years are difficult to calculate in numbers. However, in the end, this bloody massacre of the population still shows no sign of ending.
