Two days later.

In the early morning, the Theban heavy cavalry, which had been rested, lined up outside the city of Botaitia.

Seeing that the new capital of Stobi had not yet been built, with only the port and the walls of the great palace intact, Pagnadas was overjoyed!

Cavalry is best at raids!

The enemy's main force is still behind us, and now Botaitia is almost a city without regular troops!

The enemy's city walls are full of gaps. What's the point of fighting this battle?

Wouldn't it be better if I just let my cavalry generals fight on their own?

Of course, in reality, the defenses of Botaitia were not as bad as Pagnadas thought.

On the contrary, Botaitia's city defense is already very terrifying.

Although the city walls have not been finally closed, hundreds of Greek fire machines have been deployed on the walls.

Coupled with the Greek fire in the back port, Botaitia's Greek fire defense tower has a terrifying three-dimensional depth!

It is several times stronger than the city of Stobi, which once caused Philip to suffer a bloody defeat!

It is also for this reason that the Prime Minister and the High Priest, who temporarily recruited more than 400,000 militiamen, were still very confident in facing an army of more than one million tigers and wolves!

Everyone felt that as long as they defended these towers well and launched a series of attacks against the invading enemy, the winner of this battle would definitely be Stoby!

As for the flames destroying the streets and damaging the houses, that is always inevitable!

In war, it is normal to lose some things.

As long as the casualties are not too great, it can be considered a great victory!

What's more, the ones coming to kill us this time are the powerful Tino Alliance!

Being able to defeat them is a miracle in itself. No matter how much I pay for it, it's worth it!

In fact, when seeing the Theban heavy cavalry lined up in the distance, the person who felt most intimidated in the entire city of Botaitia was Xia Zhe.

Before the enemy showed up, he wanted to watch the battle between the Greek fire and the cavalry.

But when he really saw the fierce appearance of the Theban heavy cavalry, Xia Zhe suddenly felt weak all over.

Feeling that the new palace was not safe enough, Xia Zhe hurriedly ordered Lillian to call a carriage to take him to the dock.

Then, Xia Zhe hurriedly boarded the flagship that the Prime Minister had already prepared for him, the King of Sea Fortress, and only then did he feel a little safe.

Woo woo woo…

Trumpets sounded in the west of the city, and the Theban heavy cavalry was about to charge.

Having already hidden on the boat, Xia Zhe was not panicking at all, and his curiosity was aroused again.

He quickly ordered the guards to escort him to the flagship's observation tower.

Sitting in the center of the tall mast, Xia Zhe had a much broader view.

Without any worries, he could finally watch the show seriously.

After the bugle call, Pagnadas gave a brief speech to his cavalry kings.

This is his habit.

Whenever he was about to launch a desperate charge with this invincible army, Pagnadas would boost morale like this!

This time, Pagnadas kept it simple.

He directly pointed out the plight of the Boeotian army. With their supply lines cut off, their rations would not last more than a few days.

He then points out that Botaitia is not only the capital of Stobi, but also the only deep-water port in the Great North!

Only by capturing this place can the Athenian fleet rush over to join them, completely resolve the current crisis, and even turn defeat into victory!

Finally, Pagnadas taunted his enemies again.

He mocked the enemy, saying that they could only rely on rivers and lakes to stand against the warriors of Boeotia. The enemy's true fighting strength was actually very weak!

As long as his warriors capture the capital of Stobi, the enemy will be terrified!

By then, the entire Great North will become Boeotian's backyard!

This incitement made the eyes of all the Theban heavy cavalrymen flash with murderous intent.

Seeing that the situation was ripe, Pagnadas gave the order to charge at the right time.

Like an overwhelming tidal wave, millions of cavalrymen launched a group charge!

The clattering sound of horse hooves hitting the ground merged into a rolling torrent, making all the Stoby troops extremely nervous.

As the enemy approached, the entire earth began to tremble violently.

The billowing smoke and dust covered the sky and the sun.

Xia Zhe on the flagship opened his mouth wide.

"First platoon of Greek fire, begin firing!"

Trying hard to suppress the fear in his heart, the Prime Minister issued the first order.

Boom boom boom…

On the towers on the western side of the city facing the enemy, Greek fire began to roar.

Streams of smoke and flames poured down and landed on the heads of the advancing Theban heavy cavalry.

Many enemy soldiers were burned to charcoal before they even understood what was happening!

Of course, more enemy soldiers and horses outside the flames were only burned and did not die immediately.

Both people and horses let out shrill wails, filling the entire battlefield!

In just the first round of attack, more than 10,000 soldiers of the Pioca Army lost their combat effectiveness!

If it weren’t for the fact that they were all cavalry and extremely mobile!

If it was an infantry charge, the losses would be several times higher!

"Oh my god! What is this! Is it the enemy's super weapon?"

"That's scary! There must be divine help! Stoby must have divine help!"

"Such strong men and horses, gone in just a moment! Can this battle still be fought?"

…

The soldiers cried out in alarm, reined in their horses, and dared not charge any further.

"We can't stop! If we can't defeat the enemy in one fell swoop, all the losses we've suffered will be meaningless!"

Pagnadas, who was watching the battlefield situation from a distance, immediately issued new instructions.
