Seeing Xia Zhe nod in agreement, Achilles's nervousness suddenly disappeared.
The Macedonian army was invincible, and fighting against them put Achilles under great pressure.
But in his heart, the king is omnipotent!
Since the king can give personal guidance, what is there to worry about?
"It is like this. If I start with Stobi, Macedonia will attack from the southeast corner soon. How do you think we should defend?" Achilles asked.
Starting with Stoby?
Are you still being targeted by Macedonia?
Is there any need to ask? The country must have been destroyed!
Xia Zhe was quite speechless after hearing this.
There were less than 10,000 Stobi soldiers. The heavy infantry that was even remotely capable was only a mere 1,000!
Fight against a big country like Macedonia that would send out hundreds of thousands of troops at any time?
Are you looking for trouble?
Surrender now!
"No, no, no, Your Majesty, you don't understand what I mean. The Macedonian attacking force is not large, just four ordinary heavy infantry legions of a thousand people. They have no intention of breaking through the city of Stobi, they just want to plunder and destroy the infrastructure that our city has built with great difficulty." Achilles explained.
This was Macedonia's routine operation, which was to consume the strength of the small city-states in the north and west so that they could not become stronger.
After all, Philip's focus in recent years has been on the city-states to the south. Those city-states have truly powerful main armies that are far more powerful than a weakling like Stobi, so they need to be destroyed first.
"Four thousand heavy infantry? Even so, they are invincible to little Stoby!" Xia Zhe hesitated.
Since Achilles was asking about a game, Xia Zhe was only thinking about it from the perspective of the game and did not associate it with reality.
A legion of a thousand men was standard for a small city like Stobi, but for Macedonia, it was just a temporary small legion for a border city.
However, even though the two armies consisted of the same thousand men and had comparable equipment, the difference in combat power was still noticeable.
This is expressed in the game as troop proficiency.
In a small, second-rate town like Stoby, the proficiency of its standing army is only one star.
It's newly compiled and doesn't even get one star.
On the contrary, a powerful country like Macedonia can have a standing army with a proficiency of four stars.
Even a newly formed small legion in a border city will have three stars at the beginning.
The difference in proficiency is two stars. In a one-on-one fight, the casualty ratio is at least one to three, or even higher.
This does not take into account the difference in tactical command levels between the commanders of both sides.
It was not difficult for Macedonia's 4,000 ordinary border troops to wipe out Stobi's 10,000 miscellaneous troops.
The old king and Xia Zhe's three brothers were all wiped out in this harvest and died tragically on the battlefield.
This time Macedonia came to harvest again, and the ministers had been discussing the matter for several days.
The king Xia Zhe was never reported to the emperor, and it was entirely due to the general's force that he was suppressed.
The general now has a full 4,000 heavy infantry at his disposal and has learned many new tactics, so he is a little inflated.
He intended to let Achilles from his own clan lead the army to resist, hoping to stand out.
As long as we can fight without losing and force the Macedonian army to return empty-handed, it will be considered a major achievement!
However, Achilles himself was much more sober than the general.
He had been playing games with Xia Zhe for the longest time and understood that the actual difference in combat power between the enemy and us was actually huge.
Don't underestimate the fact that he has 4,000 heavy infantrymen, he also has twice as many other types of troops to assist him.
But the gap in proficiency is so huge that if a fight breaks out, I'm afraid they still won't be able to defeat the Macedonian army.
Only after getting the king's approval and clearing the shadow in his heart, Achilles dared to really go to battle!
"Does that mean a battle is impossible?" Achilles was a little discouraged when he heard Xia Zhe say that.
"If we really want to fight, there are certainly ways!"
Not wanting to be looked down upon by Achilles, Xia Zhe suddenly focused his attention.
joke!
After entertaining myself for so long, I finally got a gaming enthusiast to ask for advice.
If you don't show your true abilities, how can you still use the title of a senior player?
It’s just a ragtag army of less than 10,000 soldiers fighting against 4,000 three-star heavy infantrymen!
How could I let a young man look down on me?
After racking his brains, Xia Zhe unfurled his flag and began to make arrangements.
"You, and you, place four Macedonian heavy infantry units on the southeastern border of Stobi! Yes, the regular kind, the smallest kind. But they must have a three-star proficiency. Yes, one of them must have a four-star proficiency."
Xia Zhe gave orders loudly.
"Stoby, this side. You guys, deploy one unit of ordinary heavy infantry, three units of ordinary light infantry, two units of ordinary javelin skirmishers, and two units of militia. Yes, eight thousand people, all with zero proficiency!"
The king is about to start a new simulation!
It’s the first time ever that we start with our city!
This must be planning something big!
Everyone who was responsible for cooperating with Xia Zhe in playing the game became excited and took action immediately.
Many people were secretly delighted!
It is better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early!
If this game lasts for three days, I will definitely learn more than those people before!
"Your Majesty, you are mistaken. Our city, our city's current heavy infantry, is not, is not..."
Achilles hurriedly reminded Xia Zhe when he found that he had only assigned one heavy infantryman to Stoby.
He participated in the entire general selection process. Achilles was aware that Stoby already had 4,000 heavy infantry.
However, he stopped talking halfway.
After all, there are still some differences between actual combat and sandbox simulation. If you explain it too clearly, you will only dig a hole for yourself!
