Hearing this, Achilles chuckled secretly, disagreeing in his heart, but still nodded in agreement.
Achilles understood.
The Murmidon warriors under his command were only slightly stronger than the Macedonian silver shield spearmen, and did not have an overwhelming advantage.
The final outcome of this battle was largely due to the premature collapse of the Macedonian army's formation, which led to the subsequent one-sided massacre.
We must be extremely clear-headed about this point!
However, this battle report is true after all, and no one can deny it.
Spreading the word to allies is always beneficial to stabilizing Stoby's leadership position in the Great Northern Alliance.
Seeing that Achilles had no objection, the generals hurried into action.
They copied the battle report dozens of times and immediately sent messengers to the various city-states of the Great Northern Alliance.
A few days later.
The entire Great North region was in an uproar.
All city-states knew about this major event!
Stobi trained an iron army. With the same number of troops, they completely wiped out the proud Silver Shield Spearmen of Macedonia!
What’s even more exaggerated is that I heard that the casualty ratio was one to ten!
That's a silver shield spearman!
Fighting against the terrifying Silver Shield Spearmen, they could still achieve a casualty ratio of one to ten. This is simply unbelievable!
Even the Spartan Royal Guard, the strongest in all of Greece, might not have this strength!
At first, many people thought that this must be a rumor.
But strangely, Macedonia did not come out to refute the rumors. Instead, it stopped its military campaign and did not resort to foreign military action.
In this way, everyone came to their senses and had their own understanding of the matter.
First of all, Macedonia and Stobi actually fought a battle, and Macedonia also dispatched silver shield spearmen.
And the result of this battle was that Stoby won.
Everyone is convinced of this.
But there are two different accounts of how Stoby defeated the Silver Shield Spearmen.
The first statement, of course, is the original battle report sent by Achilles.
It is said that Stobi lost only 700 people, but destroyed 15,000 Macedonian main forces in the field battle, including 7,000 silver shield spearmen.
Although this result is incredible, there are still people who believe in miracles!
They felt that the most powerful country in the Great North had changed hands.
Macedonia, the sun is setting!
However, the vast majority of people did not believe this battle report.
They just thought that the Macedonian army was defeated because they fell into some trap carefully set by Stobi.
Moreover, in annihilating these 15,000 Macedonian main forces, Stobi must have suffered heavy losses himself.
However, in order to maintain his position as the leader of the Great Northern Alliance, Stoby deliberately lied!
Of course, even so, the allies still admire Stoby very much.
At first, King Stobi seemed rather unscrupulous, and many city-states suspected that Stobi was establishing the Great Northern Alliance simply to use others as a shield.
Anyway, the city of Stobi has terrifying fortifications, and the Macedonian army certainly wouldn't dare to attack there.
When the ally is attacked by Macedonia and needs support, Stobi may not be willing to send troops to rescue.
However, facts speak louder than words!
Stobi actually took the lead, left the terrifying city defenses of Stobi City, and engaged in a real field battle with Macedonia!
Moreover, he actually won!
Also destroyed 7,000 silver shield spearmen!
No matter how much Stoby's actual casualties were, his courage to fight and his strategy to win were enough to convince all his allies.
Everyone felt that forming an alliance with Stoby was an extremely correct decision!
However, at this moment, Xia Zhe, who was in the study of the royal palace in Stobi City, did not care about these "little things".
Because Ajax was reporting to him the good news about the secret passage project.
"The secret passage was completed ahead of schedule? Great! Ajax, you're amazing! Better than Odysseus and Achilles!"
Upon hearing the news that the secret passage was completed, Xia Zhe was extremely excited. He stroked Ajax's hand and was reluctant to let go for a long time.
"My king, you are too kind! Digging a secret passage is just a small matter. As long as there are enough people, it can always be dug through! How can I compare with Lord Achilles? Lord Achilles just annihilated a full 15,000 Macedonian attacking army under the city of Scinthia! Among them, 7,000 were silver shield spearmen!" Ajax answered modestly.
Under the city of Sinthia?
Fifteen thousand Macedonian troops?
Hearing this, Xia Zhe was stunned for a moment, then he figured it out.
In the game I played, as long as it was a small city above level three, you could deploy Greek fire.
Sinthia Xiazhe knew that it was one of the three small cities that King Tree had given him in exchange.
Since the Prime Minister deployed so much Greek fire in Stobi, it is not surprising that he also deployed some in Sintia.
It was natural for Achilles to burn two Macedonian legions of 10,000 people with the help of Greek fire. It was not a big deal!
It’s okay if I go instead!
"That's a small matter. Why bring it up? You did a great job. I'm very satisfied! Go back first! Remember, don't tell anyone about this!"
Thinking of this, Xia Zhe answered casually.
Wang said that was a small matter!
Oh my god!
Could it be that the theory of anticipating the enemy's moves that is being spread privately by officials in the city is actually true?
No matter how the allies and other forces understood it, at least, all the officials in Stobi believed Achilles' battle report.
It is certainly worth celebrating that the Murmidon Legion belonging to Stobi has become so powerful.
But what everyone doesn't understand the most is the timing of the war.
Achilles was really lucky.
It happened that Sintia was switched to defense.
Then the Macedonian army happened to attack.
The time difference between the two is less than a day!
If the Myrmidon Legion was not in Scinthia at that time, or even if a small part of it went, it would not have been able to gain a numerical advantage over the Macedonian army.
The outcome of this battle will be completely different!
Many people couldn't help but ask why Achilles inexplicably took the main force of the Murmidon Legion to the remote place of Scinthia?
The results of the inquiries all pointed to Ajax!
Everyone knows that it was because Ajax was doing some big project that required the assistance of tens of thousands of people that he withdrew the garrisons from the three northeastern cities.
Only then will there be an Achilles switch.
In the past few days, a large number of officials came every day to ask Ajax what was going on.
Some people assert that Ajax had actually anticipated the enemy's moves long ago.
That's why we arranged it in advance.
Ajax naturally denied this argument and just laughed it off.
He once thought, how could this be considered anticipation? It was simply God's favor to Stoby.
However, seeing the king's attitude, Ajax suddenly understood.
yes!
Why am I so stupid?
Just because I didn't mean to do it doesn't mean the king didn't mean to do it either!
