The king only had 100,000 men left to garrison Stobi City, and they were all a ragtag army with little combat effectiveness.

Even if all of them were sent to support, they would not be able to withstand the well-trained Macedonian army.

The situation seems to be very good at the moment, but in fact there are many crises behind it!

I'm afraid Thessaloniki will still be lost.

The best outcome would be to preserve this army, retreat safely to a pass in the north, successfully fortify it, and truly absorb the Macedonian territory in the northeast.

"I wonder what the king is doing? If it were the king who was fighting this battle, he wouldn't be so distracted as I am! Alas!"

Achilles sighed.

However, he still ordered the siege of Antigonus's army.

We can't give in to the current situation!

Once the news arrives that Alexander has successfully crossed the river and recaptured Thessaloniki, it won’t be too late to find an opportunity to retreat north!

It will always be beneficial in the future to destroy as many Macedonian troops as possible!

What is the king doing?

Of course, Xia Zhe is exercising in his bedroom now!

However, the three ironclad ships commanded by the Prime Minister, the High Priest and Archimedes himself had already approached Thessaloniki.

Seeing the flag of Stobi flying over the famous city of Thessaloniki from afar, the three men and many soldiers were filled with excitement.

But when they turned their eyes to the two sides of the river, everyone became nervous again.

On the east bank of the river, troops from seven or eight allied city-states were stationed along the river.

The equipment seems mediocre and the training is lax.

The number of people is not large, at most 20,000 to 30,000.

on the contrary.

On the west bank of the river, teams of Macedonian soldiers, marching in neat steps and armed to the teeth, were coming from afar.

The enemy's line was so long that one could not see the end at a glance. There were at least 200,000 or 300,000 of them.
