In fact, at this moment, Achilles was deeply shocked!
Oh my god!
My king's strength is so terrifying!
I thought that after those five days of training, I had at least mastered Wang Qicheng's military skills!
Now it seems that it is less than 30%!
My king's endless strategies are so natural that there is absolutely no flaw to be found.
If we continue to fight like this, the one who should be worried is not our army, but the Macedonian army!
I don't want to retreat from the battle!
I want to fight a war of annihilation!
After leaving the palace in the afternoon, Achilles was stopped by his scouts before he even reached his doorstep.
"Reporting to the commander-in-chief of the front line, the strength of the Macedonian army has been discovered! The ones invading this time are three heavy infantry legions of a thousand people, not four as initially thought. Also, among these three, only one is truly organized in Macedonia. The remaining two are vassal troops of small peripheral cities like ours, and their combat effectiveness is much weaker!" The scout reported.
"How is our army gathering?" Achilles asked with a secret joy in his heart.
"Reporting to the commander-in-chief of the front line, our troops have all assembled and are on standby. The general attaches great importance to this battle and has given his greatest support. We currently have 4,000 heavy infantry, 3,000 javelin throwers, and 3,000 light infantry. The three generals have also formed a militia of at least 6,000 people for us from the civilian workers. They have all served in the regular army before, and they are holding weapons newly made in the royal copper mines. Their morale is very high!" The scout replied.
"Good! Very good! If I still can't win this battle, I will be really ashamed of the great help from my king and the two generals!" Achilles said fiercely and stomped his feet suddenly!
Ten days later.
Good news!
The main force of Stobi City, commanded by Achilles, wiped out 3,000 Macedonian heavy infantry in one battle, and not a single enemy escaped.
What’s even more exaggerated is that our own losses were very small, only a few hundred people.
The whole city was shocked by the news!
For many years, facing Macedonia's aggressive offensive, Stobi could only defend himself.
No one could have imagined that the new king would achieve a victory that would go down in history less than three months after he ascended the throne!
All this seems like a dream!
As the discussion continued on the streets, more and more details gradually spread.
Some say that Achilles was actually just a puppet.
Each of his tactical arrangements did not seem to be improvisations in the face of the enemy, but rather exercises according to a pre-written script.
Others say that Achilles received three magic bags before going to war.
Wherever he went, Achilles opened one and acted according to the plan.
That's why the Macedonian army had no chance!
But who gave him the secret? No one knows.
The best evidence for this rumor is Achilles' speech to the three armies after the victory.
In this victory speech, Achilles makes no mention of his own achievements.
He just said that through this actual combat, he finally understood how strong the real strong people are!
There are still so many areas that need our efforts in the future!
Of course, the allied Little Tribe was also shocked by this battle.
The reason why we first formed an alliance with Stoby was because of the five-star food.
However, it also includes the consideration of leaving a buffer zone to prevent direct bordering with Macedonia.
It is for this reason that the ambitious Second Prince approved the envoy's proposal to advance the payment of beef.
However, no one expected that Stobi could actually fight the Macedonian army alone this time. From beginning to end, he never even asked for reinforcements!
And achieved a great victory!
The Second Prince couldn't help but feel suspicious. He wanted to go to Stoby again and see for himself the background of this ally.
The Second Prince left as soon as he said he would, and he set off the next day.
Entering the northern border of Stobi in the name of a merchant, the first thing the Second Prince did was to contact the bandit group from back then.
The Second Prince knew that all the countries in this world were centered around city-states.
The countryside outside the city-state has a large number of vacuum areas that are not under the jurisdiction of anyone.
Therefore, even in the countryside of a powerful country like Macedonia, there are complex bandit forces.
Many of these forces possessed barbarian ancestry and were natural allies of the Little Maitali tribe.
However, what was strange was that even after going dozens of kilometers deep into Stobi, the Second Prince didn't see a single bandit.
The countryside of Stoby is so peaceful and tranquil that the bandit group that was quite rampant not long ago has disappeared!
"What on earth happened here? Where did the bandits go?" The Second Prince was so surprised that he couldn't help but lose his voice.
"Stoby, there is no place for bandits to survive anymore!" Someone heard the words of the Second Prince and answered proudly.
"There is no soil for bandits to survive? What do you mean?" The Second Prince asked.
There was no intention to hide it. Several farmers from the surrounding Stobi countryside gathered around and excitedly talked about the new situation.
It turns out that ever since the second general completed the establishment of a thousand security points, the countryside of Stoby has been very different from before.
Although the subjective purpose of the Prime Minister and the two generals was just to try to take away the weapons from the people to prevent rebellion.
But objectively, it greatly enhanced the joint security defense effect in Stobi Township.
When bandits appear in a place, they can be detected immediately and then the army can be dispatched to encircle and suppress them.
After a long time, the organized bandit groups had no chance to gather together.
Even organizing a small group of dozens of people to secretly rob houses became extremely difficult.
On the other hand, there is money to be made from mining and smelting copper, and the large-scale promotion of new crops has also greatly given people hope for a better life.
