The study of the royal palace in Stobi City.
Only one day after the army set out, a spy delivered a secret report!
At this moment, Xia Zhe was discussing this matter with the Prime Minister, the high priest and Ajax who stayed behind.
According to reliable sources, all four cities of Stupora, across the southwestern border river, were engulfed in flames today!
It looked as if there was some commotion going on there.
However, after in-depth investigation, the spies found that the soldiers and citizens of the four cities were retreating in an orderly manner and there were no signs of attack.
"The matter is very clear. Our propaganda claiming to attack Stupla has worked! They are worried about being attacked by us and have already retreated towards Macedonia!" said the Prime Minister with a smile.
"Yes! I never thought that I, Stubby, would have such a day. Stubola, who was ten times stronger than us a year ago, lost his composure just after hearing that we were going to fight them!" The high priest said happily.
"Since they ran away on their own, my king, should we just send troops in and really take back these four cities?" Ajax suggested.
Capture the four cities of Stupora?
Hearing this, Xia Zhe hesitated slightly and shook his head.
The soldiers and civilians of Stupala have voluntarily abandoned the city!
It is indeed not difficult to send troops to attack and easily capture these four cities at this time!
However, it is hard to say what the outcome of the army attacking in the southeast direction will be!
I have finally gathered 100,000 troops to protect me as a king. How can I let them go just like that?
never mind!
It is important for people to know themselves!
I can't beat Alexander.
If you eat it now, you will spit it out in the future!
It’s better to just guard Stoby and save your life!
Seeing that the king had no intention of sending troops, the prime minister, the high priest and Ajax could only sigh in regret.
In the eyes of the three, the four cities of Stupora, being closer to the south and having fertile land and abundant products, were definitely much better than the existing territory of Stupora!
It was a mistake for the king to leave such a good place unoccupied and instead send troops to attack the famous city of Macedonia!
but.
Everything that Stoby has now was achieved by Wang alone!
Everyone must do whatever the king wants to do, and there must be no complaints or delays!
One day later, on the steep canyon north of Stupora City.
King Stupula and his shrewd and capable son Seleucus were both disappointed!
Seleucus is a young man with ideals and abilities!
Alexander wanted to revive Macedonia, and Seleucus also wanted to revive Stupala.
Therefore, when he discovered the civil strife in Macedonia, he encouraged his father to regain independence!
Later, Siren wanted to attract men, and Seleucus gave her the green light all the way.
Although his sister failed to deal with Stobi, she managed to deal with Alexander, and Seleucus was very proud.
Who knew that this would happen in the blink of an eye.
The entire Stupala was directly abandoned by Alexander!
But Seleucus did not give up!
He still wants to achieve great things!
So, he decisively burned down the entire city, and then gathered his entire army in this canyon, intending to ambush the Stobi coalition forces.
According to Seleucus's idea.
The city of Stupora is far better than that shabby place of Stupora.
If King Stoby sees a bargain, he will definitely rush to grab it!
At that time, we will guard this necessary road, relying on the narrow terrain and suddenness.
The 100,000 troops at his disposal are fully capable of defeating the Great Northern Alliance army, catching them off guard and gaining a considerable advantage!
It is even possible to directly defeat the enemy forces that are several times larger and win a glorious victory!
At that time, Alexander and Aristotle, two great masters, will definitely take notice of me!
However, the opposite happened!
The nearly one million troops assembled in Stoby did not come to take advantage of this obvious opportunity!
After waiting for a whole day, the other side of the boundary river was still quiet.
I couldn't help it and sent someone to find out.
The result of the report shocked Seleucus!
"What? There are only 100,000 troops under the city of Stobi? The rest are nowhere to be found?"
Surprised, Seleucus fell into deep thought.
What exactly does the opponent on the other side of the interface want to do?
At night, in the dense forest on the river bank near the city of Edomani.
The 200,000 elite troops led by Achilles have quietly landed.
The troops that accompanied him on the expedition were the strongest and most loyal among the coalition forces.
Forty thousand Murmidon heavy infantry soldiers who are worth a hundred to one!
One hundred thousand barbarian light infantry warriors led by five barbarian kings!
There are also 20,000 elite archers from Treae and Pinati!
Faced with Stupla within easy reach in the southwest, Macedonia never expected that Stupla would attack the southeast.
The 200,000-strong army has already reached the city, but the defenders of Edomani are still unaware.
"For this battle, my requirements are simple! Casualties are not important; what matters is that we quickly annihilate the enemies everywhere and don't give them a chance to react!"
In the pre-war meeting, Achilles whispered the mission to his five former subordinates and the commanders of the two archer legions!
Everyone nodded silently, no one wanted to be the one who held back.
"action!"
With Achilles' order, all the troops began to move in an orderly manner.
The five barbarian kings took the lead and began to climb the city with their barbarian warriors.
Meanwhile, forty thousand archers hid in the darkness, arrows on their bowstrings, vigilantly watching any movement on the city walls.
Fifty meters!
Twenty meters!
Ten meters!
Five meters!
