Legend has it that after just five days of Wang's guidance, Achilles finally gained enlightenment and became a master of the world.
Antigonus believed that once he raised his difficult problem, he would be able to get insightful advice from the king.
After getting the king's advice, I will think about it carefully. Maybe I can also come to my senses and become the second Achilles!
"You mean, our army is only confident of forcing back 700,000 to 800,000 enemy troops, but it is really impossible to forcing back more than 2 million enemy troops?" Xia Zhe concluded after listening to Antigonus' report.
"Yes! To be honest, this is the limit of my ability! If I want to be like a king and win every battle against a hundred enemies, I really don't know how to deploy the troops!" Antigonus answered honestly.
After listening to Antigonus' report, Xia Zhe hadn't said anything yet, but everyone around him opened their mouths wide.
So strong!
Antigonus is indeed a first-class tactician!
It turns out that all his arrangements were aimed at the enemy's weaknesses!
When everyone present saw Antigonus's arrangement, they had no idea that he had thought so deeply!
Even Minos, his old partner, had to admire Antigonus for his outstanding performance in recent days.
We are confident that we can drive back 700,000 to 800,000 enemy troops.
This may sound easy, but it is actually extremely difficult!
You have to know that the enemy troops are all main forces that have received formal training and participated in formal combat. When dealing with our militia, one can easily defeat five.
What's more, there are a large number of super soldiers in the enemy army!
As long as those people complete their formation, even if we sacrifice a hundred lives to exchange for one of their lives, we are not sure we can do it.
However, through a large number of targeted deployments, Antigonus was confident that he could use more than three million militiamen to force back the main force of the enemy army of 700,000 to 800,000.
If there were no detailed analysis before, and only the conclusion was stated, I am afraid no one would believe it.
Unfortunately, even with such a powerful plan, it is still a long way from success.
The enemy army has a total of 2.5 million troops!
Even if the initial 700,000 or 800,000 could force them back, we have already used up all our tricks!
Even with twice as many enemies behind them, they can still break through their own defenses and slaughter them!
What's more, how could the enemy be so stupid as to deploy troops in batches?
If they all rushed forward, even if we wanted to kill or injure 700,000 or 800,000 people, it would be impossible!
Thinking of this, everyone's surprise turned into sorrow.
Everyone understood why Antigonus came to see King Stobi.
If we don't have a more powerful and unique arrangement, we are doomed to fail in this battle.
The problem now is the difference between a very bad defeat and a not-so-bad defeat.
"We can only be sure to force back 700,000 to 800,000 enemy troops? This is a bit impractical!" Xia Zhe finally spoke after thinking for a while.
These days, after handing over the command to Antigonus and others, Xia Zhe was in a good mood, ate well, slept well, and recovered a lot of energy.
However, when he heard Antigonus say that he could not win, his heart sank again.
I said, you were once the number one general in the Great North, but this is all you can do?
It is true that we are militia, but the enemies are also stray dogs!
Xia Zhe didn't know that the force led by Agamemnon was actually the main force of the Peloponnesian League.
He always thought that those so-called reinforcements were all refugees fleeing to the continent of Crete.
Correspondingly, Xia Zhe did not listen carefully to Antigonus's long speeches. He just suddenly felt that his expectations of Antigonus seemed a bit too high!
Antigonus is obviously far inferior to Achilles and others!
If Achilles were to take over, with more than three million soldiers fighting against more than two million, even if the individual combat power was a little weaker, he would still be able to hold on!
Unfortunately, I don’t have anyone who can fight with me now.
The enemy will arrive tomorrow.
If we have to choose the tallest among the short ones, we can only rely on Antigonus now!
I don't ask him to win, I just ask him to hold on for a few more days!
Necessary comfort is still needed.
At least it buys you time to escape!
"Although your level is limited. However, our army may not lose this battle! As long as everyone holds on, the enemy may even be in chaos!" Xia Zhe continued.
Xia Zhe said this purely to comfort Antigonus and the generals. He had no real solution to offer and could only curse the enemy for internal strife.
However, these words had a different meaning to everyone's ears.
It's incredible!
We thought Antigonus's response was incredibly clever! However, in King Stobi's eyes, it was just "just that level"!
Judging from King Stobi's expression, his judgment was not false, he just let it slip inadvertently without paying attention to the wording.
In that case, could it be that King Stobi had already used a more powerful killing move, but no one knew about it?
"This? Why would the enemy be in chaos?"
"Yes! The enemy just won a decisive victory. There's no reason for civil unrest!"
"That's right! Please let the king know!"
…
Thinking of this, many generals began to ask questions, hoping that King Stobi could explain.
explain?
I was just talking nonsense, how can I explain it?
After hearing what everyone said, Xia Zhe looked a little embarrassed.
Fortunately, he was no longer the naive young man he had been when he first crossed over. Having been king for almost three years, he had become very good at adapting to changing circumstances.
With a roll of his eyes, Xia Zhe cleared his throat and gave an "explanation".
"As the saying goes, when a dragon is arrogant, it will regret, and when adversity comes, good times will come! Where there is extreme yin, yang will be born, and where there is extreme yang, yin will be born. This thing is really possible, and you will know when the time comes!" Xia Zhe said seriously.
Will the arrogant dragon regret?
Good times will come after bad times?
Where there is extreme yin, yang is born, and where there is extreme yang, yin is born?
What is King Stoby talking about?
I seemed to understand each word, but when put together, I had no idea what it meant. It was like the oracle in the Temple of the Sun in the holy city of Delphi! It was so elusive.
"The secret of heaven cannot be revealed. You will understand it slowly."
Seeing everyone's confused faces, Xia Zhe quickly emphasized something and then asked Lillian to see them off.
After everyone left, he finally released the nerves that had been weighing on him and planned to pack up and run away.
After hurriedly asking Lillian to pack the King's Heart and taking a large sum of money, Xia Zhe pulled Lillian out of the tent.
Just as he was about to order Lillian to gather his personal soldiers, the conversation between several Cretan militiamen nearby caught Xia Zhe's attention.
"Can we win this battle? Will everyone die here?"
"No! The leader said that King Stobi can work miracles! If we follow him, we can survive!"
"But the enemy is really strong! King Stoby won't lie to us, will he? If he does, there will be a river of blood here!"
"Don't let your imagination run wild. King Stoby is so powerful, how could he possibly lie to us? The important thing is to do our job well!"
Turning around, they saw Xia Zhe standing nearby. Several Cretan militiamen blushed and hurriedly left with their heads lowered.
On the contrary, Xia Zhe felt unhappy and couldn't even say what he wanted to tell Lillian.
