The dream of generations of Persian kings was finally realized in Xerxes' generation!
For the Persian King Xerxes, Alexandria on the southern Aegean coast and the Eastern Alliance were no longer the main targets.
He hoped to use the opened land route to go west and then south to recover the main areas of the Greek world and establish a truly unprecedented achievement!
"Has Persia finally crossed the strait? How much time do I have left?" Hearing this, Xia Zhe frowned and muttered to himself.
Before entering this world, Xia Zhe was very clear about the combat power levels in the game.
Western Persia originated on the Persian Plateau. Through generations of continuous westward invasions, Persia conquered a vast territory, several times larger than the entire Greek world combined.
However, in this ancient time without industry, it was quite difficult to mobilize manpower and material resources from such a large territory.
Therefore, the maximum military force that Persia could use to invade Greece was at most 30 million people.
Even more manpower and material resources were consumed on the journey and were unable to actually reach the front line.
Of course, even so, the military strength of Persia is by no means something that any Greek power can contend with!
Even the total strength of the Tyrian League at its peak was less than half of the Persian army.
Although he had gained some advantages in the south, Xia Zhe did not think highly of himself and did not think that Stobi was qualified to challenge Persia.
After receiving this long-expected news, he was only concerned about how much time he had left to collect all nine hearts of kings.
If not hurry up.
If the Persians really reach the heart of Greece, he will have no chance to escape.
However, after hearing Xia Zhe's words, the civil and military officials around him did not understand it this way.
Everyone felt that the king had rekindled his ambition to compete with Persia!
Therefore, I want to confirm how much time we have to gather a large army!
Even before the unification of the Great North, the king had the audacity to sail alone to Alexandria. Then, he casually gathered a few militias and completely defeated millions of Persian troops!
Now, Stobius has conquered Athens and Sparta in the south, becoming the undisputed overlord of all Greece!
Of course there is no reason for the king to be afraid of Persia!
Quite the opposite.
The westward invasion of Persia gave the king, who had already lost his goal, new motivation!
Although everyone knows that the military strength of Stobi is far inferior to that of Persia.
But in the past three years, in Stoby's rapid rise, which time was not the weak defeating the strong?
As long as the King is here, there is nothing to fear!
Just do it!
As soon as they thought of this, everyone began to volunteer and put forward their own strategies to defeat the enemy.
"Time is still on our side! Although Troy is clearly no match for the enemy, both Byzantium and Troy are equipped with low-end Greek fire. It is not difficult to delay the Persian army for a month or two! With this time, I am willing to go south to Athens and Sparta to persuade everyone to send troops together and gather in the north!" The high priest spoke first.
"The high priest's calculations are correct! If we take out all the gold coins intercepted from the Teno League, we can recruit at least five or six million mercenaries! We can also try to use the gold and currency offensive to lure the vassal legions in the Persian army to defect. Leave this matter to me!" Odysseus continued.
"I'm not good at diplomacy. But my strong point is to bring together a variety of troops to form combat effectiveness! I can turn as many qualified warriors as the high priest and Odysseus can bring in!" Alexander smiled, without any fear at all.
"That's great! I'll leave those miscellaneous troops to you, and I can focus on training my own troops! Ever since I defeated the Spartan Guards, I've been full of confidence. Just give me two months, I'm sure that Stobi's direct legions can be expanded to five million people! And every legion will not lose to the former Silver Shield Spear Phalanx!" Achilles patted his chest and answered loudly.
Achilles said this with confidence.
Ever since he won the title of the number one Greek military force from Sparta, the spirit and energy of him and the Myrmidon warriors he led have completely changed!
Now, every Murmidon warrior can stand up decisively and take charge!
Break them up and spread them among Stoby's own troops. After two months of training, the combat effectiveness of Stoby's direct troops will definitely be greatly improved!
"You have all finished the important work, so I can only choose a simple one! The days in charge of Seranda gave me a deep understanding of guerrilla sneak attack tactics. I am willing to set off immediately and lead tens of thousands of Seranda archers to Alexandria. Join forces with Spartacus who is stationed there to disrupt the logistics of the Persian army!" Ajax also volunteered to stand up.
When it comes to commanding frontal warfare, Ajax admits that he is inferior to Achilles and Alexander.
But when it comes to launching surprise attacks and guerrilla warfare, he has extensive experience, no less than the former Queen Ina of Seranda.
The Persian army came in a hurry this time and did not launch an all-out attack.
Spartacus, who was stationed in Alexandria and led the countries of the Eastern Alliance, did not bear the pressure of the Persian army.
In this case, Ajax felt that he could send out several guerrilla forces from all over the eastern coast of the Aegean Sea to disrupt the logistics support of the Persian army!
The stronger the Persian army is, the greater the pressure on logistics!
The army sent by Alexander did not need to kill many enemies.
As long as a large amount of Persia's supplies are destroyed, or even if the transportation of Persia's strategic materials is seriously difficult, it will be considered a success!
Ajax felt that he could do this.
"The young are truly formidable! Compared to you, my old bones are useless. I think I should just go back to building warships and research some new weapons with Archimedes. Recently we came up with an idea that uses the principle of leverage. Once the actual product is revealed, it will definitely surprise you!" The Prime Minister also interjected.
I heard that the Prime Minister and Archimedes are developing new weapons, which seem to be available soon, and everyone is looking forward to it.
Stoby's success in conquering many battles was largely due to the application of several new inventions.
Everyone hoped that when facing the Persian army, unexpected new weapons would be put into use.
That way, we would have a better chance of defeating the Persian army.
"Since you have all gone to the front to fight, I can only take on the responsibility of our own logistical support! This is a large-scale battle involving tens of millions of troops. Even if we are fighting on our own soil, the logistical pressure will not be small. It would be more reassuring for me to come and catch them myself!" said Yina, who had been silent all the time.
With the Queen personally in charge of logistics, everyone felt relieved.
Although the battle has not yet begun, several important officials feel that the dawn of victory is already beckoning to Stoby.
