The next morning.
On the plain south of Sinthia City, both armies had already formed up.
The war is about to break out!
The Macedonian army consisted of 10,000 silver shield spearmen as the central legion, with 5,000 regular heavy infantry on each wing.
This formation is the standard fighting style of the Macedonian army that is always successful!
The main force of the attack is the silver shield spearmen in the center!
As long as the Silver Shield Spearmen break through the center and defeat the enemy, the battle can be won!
In fact, let alone the Silver Shield Spearmen, even the ordinary heavy infantry on both wings were very strong against the ragtag army of the small city-state!
In Antigonus's opinion, the rubbish troops of Sinthia City did not defend the city, but ran out to fight in the field, which was simply seeking death!
One attack later and the enemy will completely collapse.
Then, the city of Sinthia will naturally surrender without a fight.
However, Achilles on the opposite side is certainly not a fool.
On the contrary, he is the God of War of Stoby!
Achilles only deployed 20,000 Myrmidon legions to ensure that they were the same number as the Macedonian army.
Even the width and depth of the formation were deliberately kept consistent with that of the Macedonian army.
The meaning is obvious, which is to create the fairest conditions.
Truly test your elite soldiers and see how big the gap is when they fight against the famous Silver Shield Spearmen!
In this way, the final outcome of this battle can provide me with the most accurate information for improvement.
As for the remaining 10,000 men brought from Myrmidon, Achilles hid them behind the city walls.
All the soldiers he put on the city walls were temporarily recruited militiamen.
Achilles had two plans in mind.
If it were his own Murmidon Legion, they could barely hold on.
Then we should timely deploy the last 10,000 people to attack the enemy’s weak points and turn defeat into victory!
If it were his own Murmidon Legion, the gap would still be quite large, and they would not be able to withstand the Silver Shield Spearmen at all.
Then show these 10,000 people and go up to the city wall.
With the help of the defeated remnants, defending the city wall will be a piece of cake!
As long as we delay for a few days and wait for reinforcements from our country and allies to arrive, this battle will not be considered a failure.
Woo…
Woo…
Dong...
Dong...
Both sides issued orders to advance.
The two legions confronted each other steadily and finally fought each other!
At the same time, Achilles standing on the top of the city of Scintia and Antigonus standing on the southern hill looked ahead without blinking, carefully observing the battle situation of both armies.
"How is this possible? Those rubbish troops completely withstood our attack. Even our strongest Silver Shield Spearmen in the center couldn't get through!"
After watching for less than a minute, Antigonus realized something was wrong.
The one-sided massacre that was expected did not happen.
Stobi's army effectively withstood the onslaught of the Macedonian heavy infantry. Even the strongest Silver Shield Spearmen in the center failed to show a clear advantage.
"Ha! They actually managed to hold their own! Even the famous Silver Shield Spearmen are no better than this!"
Achilles on the city wall could not hide his excitement.
When Achilles trained his troops, he always aimed at the silver shield spearmen described by Lilith.
Some of the things Lilith described were too difficult for Achilles to do.
Therefore, in his heart, Achilles always felt that there was still some gap between his Murmidon Legion and the Silver Shield Spearmen.
Fortunately, this time, the two wings of the Macedonian army were just ordinary heavy infantry.
Achilles was not afraid of that kind of legion.
If the tactics are used properly, while suffering some losses in the center, advantages can be quickly established on both wings.
Achilles felt that this battle had a chance!
The key to victory lies in whether the central force can withstand the famous Silver Shield Spearmen! Buy time for victory on both wings!
This is also the reason why he dared to send out only 20,000 people.
However, seeing the current battle situation, Achilles knew that he was really worrying too much.
Achilles' position was higher than Antigonus's and closer to the battlefield.
Achilles could see the details that Antigonus could not.
Achilles clearly saw that the casualty ratio of the front-line soldiers of the enemy and our side was completely different!
More than ten ordinary Macedonian heavy infantrymen on both wings had to fall in order to exchange for one Murmidon warrior.
Even in the enemy's strongest central front.
In a head-on battle with the Silver Shield Spearmen, who were known as the best military force in the Great North, significantly fewer of his own soldiers fell!
The legendary indestructible silver shield spearmen were completely defeated!
"Send the order! The remaining 10,000 Murmidon warriors, leave the city immediately! Divide into two teams of 5,000 people each, and encircle the enemy's two wings! I want to wipe out all the Silver Shield Spearmen!" Achilles gave the order solemnly.
His face was filled with a confident smile and his eyes were a little moist.
He never expected that his efforts to build the First Legion of the Great North would be realized ahead of schedule.
Today, I solemnly declare to all city-states: Stobi's Murmidon Iron Army has swept across the Great North without a single enemy!
Even the Macedonian silver shield spearmen had to admit defeat!
In fact, the soldiers on both sides on the front line of the battlefield understood Achilles' judgment more deeply.
He discovered that the famous Macedonian silver shield spearmen were actually three points inferior to himself.
The soldiers of the Murmidon Legion are all in high spirits and become more courageous as the battle goes on!
On the contrary, the Macedonian soldiers were terrified by the enemy's immense strength!
So scary!
Why is Stoby's army, fully equipped with silver equipment, so powerful?
