In the Battle of Thermopylae, 300 Spartan men in red pants faced 500,000 Persian troops. In the end, Thermopylae fell. King Leonidas of Sparta and 300 warriors died in the battle, while nearly 20,000 Persian troops were killed.
However, romantic historical storytellers generally will not tell you that first of all, the terrain of Thermopylae is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Secondly, the 300 people in Sparta are only the number of Spartan Royal Guards. At the same time, there are Spartan slave soldiers and soldiers stationed at Thermopylae. Thousands of friendly city-state warriors from the entire peninsula totaled 7,000 people. Although Persia claimed to have an army of 200,000 to 500,000 people, in fact these people came from 45 countries and more than 100 ethnic groups! The reason why there are such inaccurate figures of 200,000 to 500,000 is because it is difficult to estimate how many auxiliary soldiers accounted for it. A reliable number is no less than 300,000.
And the actual battle losses seemed to be less than 20,000 people...
"History is just a little girl who can be dressed up by anyone."
The words that can be symmetrical to this "famous saying" appeared in the ancient world-when the goddess Dibella became the God of Law-the law became a bitch that can be fucked if you have money.

So the total strength of Helgen Town is 1,500 (800 Falkreath City Guards + 400 Rift Valley City Urban Management Brigade + 46 knights + 42 comrades + warriors among believers), and they will face the coalition forces of two Ten thousand people (12,000 regular troops + 700 Thalmor elves + more than 7,000 city guards), the gap in strength seems to be quite huge, and it cannot be made up by a few legends - even if the Battle of Thermopylae can be replicated, The problem is that Sparta lost the Battle of Thermopylae...
In an era where the winner is the king and the loser is the scapegoat, if you don’t win, you will be blamed.
The coalition forces maintained low-intensity attacks every day, retreating after losing some people. Both sides continued to lose blood... However, this kind of war of attrition was obviously detrimental to the side with fewer people.
But facing the opponent's strict battle formation, it was even more impossible to attack. Because the fighting front was too narrow, Falkreath needed a sharper knife to tear apart the deep coalition array. Although the Heavy Knights are powerful, they can only serve as a hammer. Being attacked by heavily armored cavalry will cause chaos. This is the effect that knights can only achieve by recruiting troops from peasants. Opposite him was a sturdy Nord man nearly two meters tall, a regular heavy infantryman armed to the teeth with a double-sided giant axe.
Nords are simple-minded, but even if they dare to swing an ax in the face of a dragon, they have never been afraid of anyone except their wives! A knight charging head-on is seeking death. Moreover, the terrain near Helgen Town is narrow and the space for strategic maneuvers is limited. Even if you want to sneak around and attack the coalition's logistics, you can see through it at a glance - there is really no strategic cover in this area.
The current situation is that the war is likely to become a protracted battle over Helgen, and no one can hope for a quick victory. In the long run, Falkreath will run out of potential and eventually fail miserably.
Lu Yuan once proposed to simply abandon Helgen and put the coalition forces on a flat plateau to fight. Although this loss is somewhat heavy, victory can be expected. There is plenty of space in the open fields behind Helgen for him to display his machinations... Unfortunately, his suggestion was unanimously opposed by others. The construction of Helgen town is not easy. There is no such well-built town in the entire sky. No. Never give up until you have to.
Lao Lu is a gangster proletarian, and he doesn't feel bad if he smashes anyone's house; but these people here are different. The small ones own a vigilante station, and the big ones are already the masters of a city and a place. They feel sad when the altars and jars are smashed.
"Are you going to stop caring about your followers?"
The siege of the city continues. The coalition forces still maintained the tactics of continuous bloodletting, and Falkreath occasionally made sneak attacks with cavalry and robbed food routes. The two sides went back and forth, and the fight was endless. But what is a little surprising is that Hircine, who has always been thought to be "definitely going to jump out and cause trouble", is surprisingly quiet this time! Apart from occasionally boosting morale in the faith passage, he hardly made any unnecessary actions.
Of course, Hircine still responded to requests from the expanding priest team for divine spells, which effectively reduced Falkreath's casualty rate.
No one could figure out Hircine's plan, so one day, Akatosh, the dragon of time, who was "walking" in the world of annihilation, "accidentally met" Hircine, who was also "walking", and then he asked the above question .
"Protest! I was dragged out of bed! Only a lunatic would walk in this place with nothing!" Hircine protested.
"You say I'm crazy?" The dragon glared, revealing a row of neat dragon teeth two meters long!
"... Breast enlargement exercises, one, two, three, four, two, two, three, four... I need to exercise more when I wake up in the morning. Walking or something like that is perfect... Hi, this beautiful platinum dragon lady I have never met before wants to have a session. An early morning exercise that’s not strenuous but guarantees a good mood?”
"..." Alona was silent for ten seconds, realizing that no matter how hard she tried, she could never be more shameless than the person in front of her... She couldn't even be among the best in the Dawn Group...
Alona knows all about the "highlight moments" of everyone in the Dawn Group - including some parts that even Lu Yuan doesn't know!
Let’s not talk about Reimu Hakurei. She is simply a replica of Lu Yuan. She is not a daughter but a daughter; "Mastered the truth of the universe", she has reached the pinnacle; Ding Mumu follows Lu Yuan as the criterion for everything, and has no moral concepts in her heart; and Muxing can declare without changing his face, "I am the Patriarch who does not do serious things." , This simply makes Alona heartbroken!
Anne, you must think that apart from being a bit out of character in private, she is a complete model of chivalry in dealing with others? What a big mistake!
Alona knows a secret about Annie that even Lu Yuan doesn't know -
When Lu Yuan went to the Harry Potter world, Annie chose to travel to Azeroth for adventure. As a member of the human knights, Anne has experienced a series of historical events such as the invasion of orcs, the destruction of Stormwind City, the Dark Portal, the Scourge of the Undead, and Arthas becoming the new Evil King.
During these great adventures, Anne prevented many tragedies, changed the fate of countless people, and forged a "deep friendship" with the ranger general Sylvanas Windrunner.
When Annie was about to leave the world of Azeroth, she chose to tell Sylvanas everything she knew about the "future history of the world of Azeroth." The scene at that time was that the Ranger General (who had not become undead) was deeply affected, and almost even the courage to persist was gone.
"Why?! Why is Azeroth so troubled!" Sylvanas believed Annie's future, but she felt that Azeroth was like a place abandoned by God! The creatures living on this land see hope again and again, but are knocked down into the abyss again and again! Suffering never ends!
Anne said this at the time, "Because we want to make money. As long as we can still attract money, this big IP will continue to do it forever... That's why people say that until the glass slag dies, Azeroth will never have peace."
"Glass! Glass! Scum!...Annie, I want to ask you one last thing," Sylvanas smiled, inserted her swords, and shouldered her bow and arrows. "Since you told me all this, it means you have a solution... Can you help me open a portal to that evil organization? I think I have a small problem to solve with them."
"Of course!" Anne readily agreed, and Alona who was listening (it turns out you were also involved!) immediately opened a portal to "Irvine, California, United States" for Sylvanas...
Later, Anne said happily after seeing the news that "the United States suffered a new terrorist attack."
"Now, Azeroth should be at peace."
…
Can you believe such a knight? The game doesn't play well and you actually point the finger at the "source of evil"!
(Have you felt the anger of the game scumbag? The glass scumbag is finished, B Club, you are next!)
Big Elona only thought about it for a moment, and realized that the Dawn Group was not the moral bottom line in the universe, they were the bottom line...
"Answer my question! Do you really not care about your followers?"
"Of course not," Hircine pretended to wipe his sweat, "Actually, I have placed the key to victory with them a long time ago, but it hasn't been discovered yet... Just wait and see."
