But the opportunity was not to be missed, so Achilles made a decisive move and ordered the entire army to advance northeast and try to meet up with Odysseus's army as soon as possible.
Then, the 800,000-strong army attacked Antigonus's main Macedonian force, catching him off guard!
As for the city of Thessaloniki, Achilles only left 30,000 people to defend on the east bank of the river west of the city!
As long as the river bank is not lost, Thessaloniki will not be lost!
After defeating Antigonus, he would turn around and engage in a decisive battle with Pella's eastward-moving army.
Achilles believed that the gold cup of victory in this battle would definitely belong to Stoby!
The meeting hall of the royal palace in Stobi City.
Having also received Odysseus's urgent letter, the Prime Minister and the high priest did not dare to delay and immediately convened an emergency military discussion meeting.
As the king, Xia Zhe naturally participated as well.
"The situation is now clear! Our two sides are about to engage in an unprecedented decisive battle in Thessaloniki! The success or failure of this battle is of great importance. What are your thoughts?"
The Prime Minister came straight to the point and raised the question.
decisive battle!
We are about to have a decisive battle with the powerful Macedonia!
Still on Macedonian soil!
Hearing this, everyone's blood boiled!
Miracle!
It's simply a miracle!
A year ago, Stobi was just an unknown small city-state.
They are looked down upon by all the surrounding forces and can be eliminated by any party at any time!
However, since the new king ascended the throne, Stoby has been completely renewed and its national strength has been growing day by day!
He defeated Macedonia's invasion three times and angered the famous Philip to death.
He also annexed the Little MacTali and became the overlord of the Big MacTali!
Now, when the king raised his arms and called on to attack Macedonia, more than fifty countries responded!
The coalition forces were unstoppable and captured Macedonia's first-class cities, forcing Macedonia to choose a decisive battle!
Such a great feat! How many people in history can accomplish this?
"Is there any need to discuss this? Of course we should send the 100,000-strong army from Stobi City as reinforcements!"
"Yes! Yes! With these 100,000 more people, we'll have a better chance of winning!"
"We can follow the same path Achilles and his men took, downstream! We already have three cities along the way! Within three days, the army can reach Thessaloniki!"
"That's right!"
"That's right!"
"That's exactly the point!"
"Concentrate all your strength and fight Macedonia!"
…
The crowd was excited.
Everyone has the same idea.
Since it is a decisive battle, of course we must concentrate all our forces!
There are still 100,000 garrison troops in Stobi City, transfer them there quickly!
If we can really defeat the main force of Macedonia, it will create a new miracle!
"Your Majesty, give your orders quickly! In my humble opinion, it would be best if Your Majesty could lead this reinforcement personally! Your tactical command skills surpass even those of Achilles! With you at the helm, our army will surely win this battle!"
The Prime Minister spoke at the right time, and there was a hint of excitement in his words!
He knows the king's abilities best!
Wang Ke conducts sand table simulations in the garden every day.
The king's military tactics are unpredictable!
Achilles, who is now hailed as the God of War by various countries, was just a handyman for the king during the sand table simulation!
Achilles' first victory was won by the king who was commanding from the beginning to the end!
If it is this decisive battle, the king can personally command it.
The Stobi coalition will surely defeat Macedonia and completely change the inherent pattern of the Great Northern Region!
"No! Absolutely not!"
Xia Zhe couldn't stand it any longer and spoke angrily.
When Xia Zhe first heard the ministers clamoring to send the 100,000 troops guarding Stobi to the front line, he was very unhappy!
Are you kidding me?
I kept these 100,000 people to save my life!
How can I be transferred to the front line?
Can't beat Macedonia?
If you can't defeat Macedonia, just retreat!
Did I say we must fight a decisive battle with Macedonia?
Don't you know that I'm just trying to deal with the Metonian messenger?
Fight with Macedonia?
Is that necessary?
Preserving our own combat capability and letting others fight Macedonia is our country’s national policy, okay!
Unexpectedly, before he even expressed his stance, the Prime Minister actually started forcing him to abdicate!
You are such a traitor!
You know very well that I, as a king, have never led troops to fight a war.
You actually tricked me into leading the army in person?
Are you trying to use Macedonia to take my life so you can usurp the throne?
Am I stupid?
I won't fall for your trick!
"So, what does my king mean?"
The Prime Minister was confused by Xia Zhe's objection. He had no choice but to ask Wang for his opinion and see if Wang had any more powerful ideas!
"The army cannot move! Prime Minister, your family's private soldiers can be sent to the front line. Don't you have capable people under your command? Let your capable people go!" Xia Zhe said.
You want to trick me into going to die? I'm not that stupid! If you can, send your men to die!
After saying this, Xia Zhe could hardly hide the anger in his heart.
In order not to lose his composure, he had to stand up hurriedly and turn away.
So as to avoid disputes with these ignorant fools!
"This? What does Wang mean?"
"Could it be that the king believes our army is certain to win and does not need reinforcements?"
"That shouldn't be the case! You have to know that the Macedonian main army is no pushover! Commander Antigonus is a well-known figure!"
"That's right! That's right! I also heard that Saint Aristotle has joined Macedonia! The Saint Army that Aristotle brought with him played a huge role in defeating the Metonian main force so quickly!"
