What do you mean, arrange it now?

What's there to arrange?

Xia Zhe was confused by what he heard and asked three soul-searching questions in his mind.

Unfortunately, Achilles was walking too fast. Before he could even ask, Achilles had completely disappeared.

Xia Zhe could only curl his lips helplessly and turn his attention back to the game he was playing.

When they received Achilles' strategic plan, the army led by Ina had already crossed the Vardar River and was hesitating when to march on Pella.

When Ina heard that the king had used the Seranda Legion as bait to lure the main force of the Tino Alliance north, she suddenly became excited!

She quickly ordered her cavalry to fly the flag of King Stobi and march south in a grand manner to lure the enemy.

The main force went north again to cross the river, waiting for the ironclad ships to come and join them to guard the ferry together!

At this moment, the bloody attack and defense battle of Pella City is going on!

Don’t miss this opportunity!

As soon as the sun rose, Pagnadas commanded his million Theban heavy cavalry to launch a large-scale charge against the nearly 100-meter-long gap in the city wall!

There was no time to repair the city walls, so Alexander could only simply build a few rows of chevaux de frise, and then deployed the only 30,000 silver shield spearmen he had left, ready to block the enemy.

Seeing such powerful heavy infantry for the first time in the Great North, the Theban heavy cavalry soldiers were quite uncomfortable.

After attacking for a whole day, we still couldn't break through the gap!

However, thanks to their numerical advantage and mobility, the Theban heavy cavalry's losses were not significant!

The casualty ratio between the enemy and us is about two to one.

This made Alexander quite worried.

Finally, they held on until dark, and the enemy temporarily withdrew to rest, and Alexander finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"We can't hold on for more than a few days in this situation!"

In the afterglow of the setting sun, Odysseus said worriedly.

Although his command level was lower than Alexander's, Odysseus could understand the big picture.

To close this gap, Macedonia deployed its strongest troops. After a day of fighting, more than half of its Silver Shield Spearmen had been lost!

On the contrary, the heavy cavalry of the Tino Alliance suffered far greater losses than their own side, but they could not withstand the enemy's superior numbers!

The enemy can bear such losses for another ten or twenty days!

But it will be difficult for us to hold on for another three days!

"Let the civilians work overnight to reinforce this section of the fence! Don't engage in direct contact with the enemy tomorrow, and try to maximize the power of the archers! I'm sure we can hold out for another five days! After five days, if the reinforcements don't arrive, we'll be finished!" Alexander said what he had in mind without hiding anything.

In the end, this powerful tactician had to admit that the key to victory was no longer in Pella City, but in Stobi's reinforcements.

It is crucial to know when the reinforcements will appear, whether they can withstand the charge of the Theban heavy cavalry, and ultimately defeat the three million enemy troops head-on in a field battle!

Alexander was unsure about this.

"Don't worry. The king's reinforcements will definitely arrive!" Odysseus replied calmly.

Odysseus had no doubt that the king would send reinforcements.

But could the reinforcements really defeat the enemy? Odysseus was unsure.

Through the battle at the gap today, Odysseus has understood!

The army of the Tino Alliance is not only huge in number, but also has amazing combat effectiveness.

Odysseus had fought in seven or eight battles at Stoby, and had never encountered such a terrifying army.

To deal with such an army, I'm afraid that even with 20 million people, even the mob like the one during the expedition to Seranda would not be able to defeat it!

What's more, Stoby couldn't mobilize 10 million people anyway! Even if he did, he couldn't fully deploy them in this place!

Odysseus had no idea how Stoby should use his troops to have a chance of winning.

"Alas! Perhaps I'm just too stupid to understand the art of war! The king is a man standing at the top of the world, he must have a way! He must have one!"

Odysseus could only comfort himself in this way, watching Alexander organizing the laborers to repair the fence.

The next morning.

Pagnadas and Seleucus smiled at each other when they discovered that Alexander had sealed the gap with a wooden fence overnight.

What Alexander did seems wise, but it is actually a double-edged sword!

While closing the gap, it also blocked the passage for the troops in the city to leave the city and counterattack.

In this way, both sides can only fight here to consume their strength!

Wooden fences are not high city walls. If we play archery duels, the Macedonian army in the city will not have the advantage!

Having witnessed the power of the famous Silver Shield Spearmen yesterday, Pagnadas did not want to continue wasting his precious Theban heavy cavalry and Macedonia in this way.

Now what Alexander did was exactly what Pagnadas wanted.

He immediately ordered 300,000 archers to gather at the wooden fence and take turns shooting.

Send out more engineers to prepare at the rear.

As soon as you suppress the enemy, start dismantling the fence.

Demolition is definitely much easier than construction!

Macedonia can’t afford this war of attrition!

Sure enough, seeing that the Tino Alliance was using archers to support the battle and was planning to tear down the fence, Alexander had no choice but to send out a large number of archers to counterattack.

The two sides fired arrows at each other for a whole morning. There were no losses in the elite troops, but the regular troops suffered heavy losses.

What is more troublesome is that in this almost equal war of attrition, the weaker Macedonian side is obviously at a greater disadvantage.

Alexander couldn't help but hesitate. He decided to change his strategy at night. Instead of completely sealing the opening, he should leave two passages, east and west, along the city wall.

By actively attracting the enemy to attack, the casualty ratio can be much better, and it can also better deter the enemy and boost our own morale.

At the same time, in the Tino Alliance Command Center.

Pagnadas was analyzing the battle situation with Seleucus.

Both of them felt that the current equal consumption was worth persisting!

If it takes another three to five days, Macedonia will be faced with a situation where it has no soldiers left!

Then, the city of Pella will be captured!

Although fighting this way would inevitably result in considerable casualties and would delay the battle for several days, it was still acceptable compared to a months-long siege.

"Report! An army was spotted in the north, carrying strange golden flags!" A scout came to report.

Golden flag!

Before Pagnadas could react, Seleucus jumped up!

How could Seleucus not know who was to the north of Macedonia?

Isn't Stoby's flag golden?

When two major forces are fighting each other, it is impossible for a small country to dare to wade into the muddy water!

Seleucus almost dared to assert that it must be that Stobi couldn't hold back and wanted to take advantage of the situation!

"How many of them came?" Seleucus asked hurriedly when he thought of this.

"About 100,000 cavalrymen are already clamoring outside our army, demanding that we withdraw from the Great North. However, on the north bank of the Vardar River, they should still have 300,000 to 400,000 troops who have not arrived yet!" The scout gave an accurate answer.

A total of four or five hundred thousand people!

As soon as they arrived, they demanded that the Tino Alliance withdraw from the Great North!

It’s confirmed, it must be Stoby!
