Troy
At night, the Trojans held a grand banquet and celebration. The number of tables in the palace banquet hall was several times that of the usual banquets, and the tables were filled with a variety of staple foods, fruits, desserts, beans and vegetables.
The delicacies include fragrant barbecued meats, colorful lettuce salads, and hot soups that exude a strong heat; a variety of fruits, beans, and vegetables are also piled on the table, and there are even cakes with honey and nuts.
Of course, fine wine is indispensable for such a large banquet. The tables were covered with crystal clear wine, and there were at least three wine jugs on one table.
The noble men reclined on the couch and enjoyed the dinner, while the servants were responsible for picking up the food and serving the master.
In the middle of the banquet hall, a troubadour played the flute, played the harp, and sang happy songs; a group of beautiful dancers danced on the stage, showing off their dancing skills to the fullest, and there were even wonderful acrobatics after the dance. Performance.
Everyone filled up the wine again and again, drank happily, and talked about the good news that the Greeks had retreated, Troy had won, and the Greeks' giant wooden horse had been captured. The atmosphere of the banquet was quite warm and enjoyable.
The Greek spy Sinon also participated in the grand banquet held by the Trojans in the palace as a victim.
Sinon watched the Trojans celebrate "victory" and hold such a grand banquet, and sneered in his heart, thinking: "When the great Greeks break the city of Troy, you will only cry out."
A Trojan elder held a wine glass, drank wine, and said to Sinon with drunken eyes: "Let's have a feast together, we have won the victory."
Xinong nodded but did not answer.
"In just ten more years, our power will be able to overwhelm the whole of Greece." The elder burped and puffed out the smell of wine, and said happily: "We will definitely avenge this hatred."
After hearing the elder's words, Xinong's heart was filled with hatred.
"Sure enough, Troy is the public enemy of all Greece and must be destroyed. When our Greek coalition forces attack the city of Troy, you will know who takes revenge."
Xinong couldn't object to the elder's words and nodded in agreement. In order to avoid talking about this kind of topic, he also pretended to be drunk.
Elder Troy saw that Xinong was drunk, laughed and left: "We finally won."
"We finally won." The lively and noisy banquet reluctantly dispersed very late, and Xinong had already gone back to his room to rest before the banquet was over.
Late at night, Sinon, who was sleeping in bed, suddenly sat up, put on his clothes lightly, opened the door, and peeked around and found that the soldiers on duty everywhere were asleep. Maybe the Greeks were retreating, and Troy The victory made these people lose their vigilance.
Xinong left the room and walked cautiously towards the palace gate. The soldiers were tired after passing the carnival. Xinong easily sneaked out of the palace gate and arrived at the city gate in less than a while.
"God is protecting me." Xinong sneaked onto the city wall and saw that all the soldiers here had left their original combat duty posts. He thought to himself, lit the torch in his hand, raised it high and kept shaking it, and sent the promised message into the distance. Signal.
Just a moment later, there was a response from torches in the distance, lighting up one by one and quickly passing into the distance.
Every ten miles, a torch was lit, even on the sea. People on the boat immediately lit the torch and conveyed the message.
In just a moment, the signal was transmitted to the Greek coalition forces dozens of miles away.
Everything Xinon did might have been discovered by others in normal times, but at this time, perhaps the Trojans had relaxed their vigilance, so no one noticed anything unusual about Xinon until the torches were extinguished.
Xinong extinguished the torch and carefully sneaked close to the wooden horse. There was no one on duty there.
Following the agreed signal, he gently tapped the horse's belly, and the rhythmic "tap-tap-tap" sound rang in the ears of the Greek hero.
At this moment, all the Greek heroes had fallen asleep. Suddenly, the promised sound of beating the horse's belly came to their ears, and they all opened their eyes and woke up.
"Everyone, don't be impatient and go out as quietly as possible."
Odysseus reminded the Greek heroes in the Trojan's belly not to be impatient, so at this moment they had no idea what was going on outside.
He carefully pulled the door bolt open so as not to make a sound, and the horse's belly door was gently pushed open.
Odysseus slowly poked his head out. He peeked around for a while and found that all the Trojans had fallen asleep. He also saw Sinon standing quietly aside.
He gestured to Xinong with his eyes, and Xinong nodded, telling him that everything went well.
"God is protecting us." Odysseus received Sinon's affirmation, and his nervousness finally eased a little.
So he quietly put down the wooden ladder prepared by Epeus and climbed down the ladder.
Several Greek heroes also followed him, coming down one by one. Although their faces seemed calm, their hearts were beating nervously.
This task is really too dangerous. As long as the Trojans discover it, no one can escape, and they will all be killed by the angry Trojans.
"Xinong, you took the most credit this time, is everything going well?" Odysseus asked.
"Great King Odysseus, the Trojans have been completely immersed in the joy of victory. They seem to have forgotten how victory came, and they have not been wary of us at all." Sinon said: "I am sending a signal At this time, there was a response from afar, and it only took an hour to follow the route."
"It's been half an hour since I walked over from the city gate. The Greeks should be close by now."
Hearing what Sinon said, Odysseus was overjoyed. In this case, Troy would not be difficult to deal with. He whispered: "Get close to the city gate first, and when our people come, we will do it together."
Not long ago, the Greeks hiding near Tenedos Island were excited when they saw the signal from Sinon. Everyone got on the warship as fast as possible no matter what they were doing. All the ships quickly Pull anchor and set sail.
The warship slowly sailed out of the pier of Tenedos Island, and hundreds of warships opened their sails at the same time, creating a grand spectacle of thousands of sails sailing away.
All the Greek warships sailed into the sea, stretching for more than ten miles in front and back. At this moment, a gust of wind blew, and the speed of all the warships suddenly increased a lot. They seemed to be arrows leaving the string, and their speed was extremely fast. Heading towards Troy.
The Greeks on the warship felt the sudden favorable wind and were overjoyed, knowing that the gods were helping them win.
Agamemnon and Nestor even shouted: "Greek warriors, this is God's help to us. We will win this war against Troy."
"Must win."
"Must win."
All the Greeks shouted slogans. The high-pitched slogans made the soldiers of the entire Greek coalition excited, and victory seemed to be right in front of them.
The warships of the entire fleet were chopping the waves on the sea, and the rolling waves slapped the sides of the ship from time to time, pushing the warships forward rapidly. Pushed by the strong wind, the Greek warships quickly arrived in half the time it usually took. The coast of Troy.
The warship approached the port of Troy. The hot-blooded Greek warriors did not wait for the warship behind to dock. They got off the warship and quickly rushed to the coast. They held weapons and seemed to be a group of wild beasts that chose people to eat.
It was not far from the port to reach the city of Troy. It didn't take long for the Greeks to see the city of Troy in the distance. Agamemnon took a deep breath: "Nestor, is the goddess of victory on our side?"
"Yes, great commander, I can feel that the defense of Troy is very lax. All the soldiers are asleep, and the heroes are lurking at the gate of the city."
"Then light the fire." Agamemnon ordered.
"Light the fire!" Hundreds of torches were lit, and the moment they were lit, Odysseus felt it inside: "The Greeks are coming, Xinon, now it's time to clear the city gate. Follow us and rush to kill us. This time we I vow to defeat Troy in one fell swoop.”
"Let's fight together for the great Greece." Xinong said.
"kill."
The crowd rushed out, waving their spears, pulling out their swords, and slashing at the few people who were still guarding. Muffled screams rang out, but this no longer served as a warning.
There were just continuous pop-pop sounds, and within a moment, these people were killed on the ground.
Then, I tried my best to open the city gate, but the city gate was heavy and huge. Even if there was an internal response, it could not be completed immediately. It would take a long time (in fact, it took half an hour to open the ancient city gate).
"Kill, kill as much as you can, create chaos, and then let the Greeks rush in without any effort." Odysseus shouted when he saw that the city gate was still some distance away from opening, and saw that there was no one on the street. He rushed into the room next to him.
A drunken man in the house was not asleep yet. He saw Odysseus and others rushing in and yelled: "What are you doing? Breaking into people's houses. You have violated the laws of the kingdom."
Diomedes didn't bother to talk nonsense to the drunkard, so he stabbed him with his sword and killed him.
A woman did not drink. She saw Diomedes killing her husband. She screamed in horror and blood splashed on her face. She quickly picked up the child next to her and was about to go outside. Escape.
Odysseus looked at the women and children who were about to flee and hesitated for a moment, but this hesitant thought passed quickly and was quickly abandoned.
Now it was time to create chaos so that Troy could not quickly recover. What better way to create chaos than massacre and arson
Odysseus raised the spear in his hand and stabbed the woman and the child in her arms quickly.
"puff."
"puff."
After two consecutive stabs, the women and children screamed, and blood flowed out of the bodies of the women and children quickly, staining the ground red.
"Kill, kill them all, burn them all." After killing these people, the Greek heroes rushed into the nearby rooms and killed all the ordinary Trojans.
Odysseus carried a spear and rushed into a house. The family was still sleeping, but Odysseus no longer hesitated and stabbed with the spear in his hand.
"Puff puff."
After assassinating many times in succession, Odysseus killed all the ordinary Trojans who were sleeping in this family. Blood flowed all over the ground. Then he lit a torch and threw it into the family's house. After a while, The roof caught fire and the entire house was instantly engulfed in flames.
