Because he was good at gaming, Xia Zhe was able to transmigrate to an ancient city-state world and became the king of a small city-state.
However, he soon discovered that being a king was a h...
When the flames were launched, they instantly destroyed a bridge.
The soldiers on Stobi's side cheered, but Ajax felt a little regretful!
Now that our trump card has been played, the enemy can prepare in advance.
It is no longer possible to fight a devastating battle and kill a large number of enemies like Achilles did when he fought Eubia!
"General Ajax, don't be discouraged! Our mission is only to attract the enemy and create opportunities for our main force to launch a surprise attack! Although not many of their people were burned, destroying their river crossing vehicles may not be a bad thing!" Ina on the side comforted.
Hearing this, Ajax glanced at the battlefield and nodded silently.
Nearby, the hundreds of thousands of enemy troops who had landed by boat had begun to collapse due to the loss of their backup!
The north bank of the Vardar River is still firmly controlled by the Stobi army.
On the river, as the three ironclad ships continued to spit out tongues of fire, all ten pontoon bridges were destroyed.
The enemy had a million powerful heavy cavalry, but they could only sigh at the river!
Having lost most of their vehicles and fearing the power of the ironclad ships, they could only stand on the south bank with a look of helplessness on their faces.
The Vardar River defense line is impregnable!
The army of the Tino Alliance can no longer move north!
Strategically, the detachment led by the two men has successfully completed its mission!
at the same time.
East of Pella, behind the hill.
The million elite Stoic troops led by Achilles have secretly assembled.
"What's the situation outside Pella?"
Seeing that the sun was already setting, Achilles asked thoughtfully.
"The main force of the enemy has been lured to the Vardar River by the queen and her men! Surrounding the city of Pella are some second-line legions. The total strength is about one million, and they are fighting a bloody battle with the Macedonian defenders! It will probably take several days to capture the city!" The scout replied.
"It wouldn't take a whole day to get here from the Vardar River! Order the entire army to rest and rest for the night, but no fires should be lit, exposing the enemy. Tomorrow morning, attack the enemy forces under the city of Pella!"
Achilles ordered, nodding.
The current battle situation is almost the same as I expected!
The main force of the enemy fell into the trap and headed north to fight for the Vardar River crossing!
I had already dispatched ironclad ships to assist in the defense. Based on the Queen and Ajax's war experience, holding the riverbank shouldn't be difficult!
On the other hand, it was obvious that the enemy troops under the city of Pella had no idea that the main force of Stobi's reinforcements was actually in the east.
As long as we take a good rest, we will be able to catch the enemy off guard tomorrow!
"Commander, should we send a messenger tonight to contact the allied forces in the city? Ask them to send troops to cooperate tomorrow?" asked a subordinate.
"No need! Our army came here in secret! There is no need to risk exposing our whereabouts just to contact Odysseus and the others! If Alexander is really a master of tactics, he will definitely respond when he sees our army appear! If he is not, it is not worth the king's high hopes for him!" Achilles shook his head in response.
"Commander, the enemy has not yet noticed our arrival. Should we launch a surprise attack tonight to gain the upper hand?" another subordinate asked.
"No need! Both sides have too many troops. Vision is obstructed at night, and a surprise attack on the enemy camp will not gain much benefit. Instead, it will alert the enemy in advance. I have confidence in the main force of Stobi! Tomorrow I will deploy my troops and fight the Tino Alliance in a fair fight! I want to solemnly announce to all of Greece that a new and powerful force has risen! No one can underestimate it!" Achilles shook his head again in response.
Our God of War will announce the rise of Stobi to all of Greece!
Hearing this, all the generals were very excited.
Everyone, please don't make any other suggestions. Just deploy your soldiers to rest and recuperate for tomorrow's battle!
A night passed.
The main force of Stobi was well repaired.
At the same time, they maintained sufficient discipline and did not let the Tino Alliance army notice.
The next morning, when Pagnadas was on the south bank of the Vardar River, he was quite confused about whether he should return south.
Achilles finally fights!
Without holding back, Achilles deployed his one million strong army, and then, under the command of orderly banners, they marched in formation towards the city of Pella.
It was not until several vanguards of the army had passed the top of the slope and were exposed to the sight of the alliance army besieging Tinos that Seleucus realized that something was wrong!
What's going on?
Why are there so many troops coming out from the east?
The formation is so neat? How can it be a makeshift militia?
Wasn't Stobi's main force fighting against the Piocean snipe and clam in the north? Could this army, so large in number, have emerged from underground?
"Where are the scouts? Get close and investigate immediately to find out what's going on! Also, immediately withdraw all the troops lost in the gap and Macedonia, and prepare to line up to meet the enemy!" Seleucus gave the order hurriedly.
Realizing that something was amiss, the army of the Tino Alliance immediately headed eastward.
This rare ability to respond made Achilles, who was moving forward, praise it endlessly.
As expected, they are the powerful Tino Alliance, even the second-line legions have such tactical proficiency!
It was no fluke that they were able to defeat the Macedonian army commanded by Alexander so badly!
It's just a pity.
Although you have a strong military force and good quality, you still fell into the chess game set by my king!
Our army has severely damaged your morale by consuming and luring the enemy, and has also formed a combat power advantage in this local area!
The winner of today's battle will definitely not be you!
Achilles was full of confidence, and Alexander and Odysseus on the city wall of Pella were also extremely excited!
Alexander, in particular, couldn't help but shed two lines of tears down his cheeks.
Very good!
Stoby's army is really coming!
Looking down at the wilderness from the high city wall, Alexander could see more clearly than Achilles and Seleucus!
He was pleasantly surprised to find that Stoby's army was large in number, well-organized, and had high morale.
They had already overwhelmed the besieging Tino Alliance army in numbers and preparation.
If a quick victory is possible, the battle should end before the Theban heavy cavalry that has been lured away returns.
The possibility of the Stoby army winning is very high!
"Send the order! Gather all the regular troops in the city and stand by inside the east gate! When the two sides officially start fighting, I, Alexander, will definitely come to help!" Alexander gave the order excitedly!
After several days of bloody fighting, the Pella army had already lost more than half its troops! But seeing an opportunity to turn the tide, Alexander certainly wouldn't sit idly by!
When the soldiers and civilians in Pella discovered that the enemy troops besieging the city had turned to the east, they also knew that reinforcements were coming.
Success or failure depends on this one move!
Everyone responded enthusiastically to Alexander's call and rushed to gather at the east gate.
In just a few minutes, more than 300,000 people gathered there!
In addition to the regular army, there are also many militiamen who carry their own weapons.
Even farmers carrying hoes and blacksmiths carrying big hammers joined in, ready to give it their all!
