But two days later, after the cunning Xerxes sent an elite force to sneak up on the pass, the unprepared Greek defenders were quickly defeated.
In order to preserve his strength, Leonidas, in the case of being attacked on his stomach and back, ordered the main force of the Greek coalition to quickly retreat to preserve his strength. He personally led three hundred Spartan warriors behind the mat. A bloody and deadly battle ensued with tens of thousands of Persian troops. In the end, all three hundred warriors were killed, and the Persian army paid a terrible price of 20,000 deaths and injuries in the battle to break through the hot spring pass.
