Chapter 366: Tactics
How much? Su Ye hurriedly asked.
"You want to buy it? The general didn't say that he wouldn't sell it, he was a warrior, and it was not very useful to keep the remains of miracles......" Fast didn't know how to answer for a while, Su Ye asked too directly.
"Since I want to hide my identity, I can't use the original magic minion, so I want to buy a good miracle minion over." Su Ye Dao.
"Do you overdo it with miracle remains? As far as I know, the value of the bronze miracle remains is probably between fifty thousand and eighty thousand golden eagles. General Fast looked at Su Ye helplessly.
"You help me find out what the remains are, and see what Admiral Mityades is offering." Su Ye Dao.
"I'll take you...... No, Michayades will be watched by all sides, and if you go, you will probably be watched by all sides. I ask now. With that, Fast took out his command book and sent a letter to Michayades as a magician would use a magic book.
"The general is very busy, and he may not be able to reply to the letter after a while, so let's talk first." Fast.
Su Ye asked: "What else is there to do with military exploits related to weapons and equipment?" As long as metal parts are involved, I can solve ......"
"Stop! A million arrows is already the limit that can be given to you. You've solved it all, what about the other federations? What about the military exploits of those people in logistics? Do you think this is a school? "Fast Road.
"I forgot that." Su Ye was thoughtful.
"In twenty days, you can only do one thing, and after twenty days, I will find out if there are any relevant military merits. The rest of the routes to military merit, such as frontal battles, such as getting important information, are all you can do directly. "Fast Road.
"Next, we just need to defend, right?" Su Ye asked.
"You have to defend, but you can't defend all the time." Fast Road.
"Afraid that the Persian magicians will destroy the fortress directly?" Su Ye asked.
Fast said helplessly: "Yes." Since the advent of the Magi, the way of warfare has completely changed. In the past, it was enough for us to defend the walls, after all, the warriors who could destroy the walls generally did not participate in direct siege battles, but challenged each other. But now, not to mention the Golden Mage, even if the Silver Mage's fossil is mud, this kind of wall can be easily solved. This fortress is not like Sparta or Athens, protected by temples or magical powers, and is not afraid of ordinary magic. So, we can defend, but in order to prevent the Persians from jumping off the wall, we also need to take the initiative. ”
Su Ye suddenly remembered another marathon battle and said, "General, I have a suggestion, a suggestion for the first battle of the Persian army. ”
"You say." Fast listened attentively.
Euclid, Commodus and Castor looked at Su Ye curiously, this kid can fight magically, is it possible that he still understands the art of strategic warfare? The legendary Three Cultivators?
"Look at the topographic map of Marathon Plains." Su Ye said, extracting the Greek three-dimensional magic map from the magic book.
Commodus and Castor looked curious, neither of them had ever met.
Subsequently, Su Ye continued to adjust the magic map, and finally, the translucent Marathon Plain was spread in the middle of the room, and the sea, mountains, plains, and swamps were clearly visible, and even the Marathon Fortress stood vividly in front of everyone.
"We can see that the Marathon Plain is in the middle of the map, and the north and northwest are the famous Death Swamp, even if the Master of the Sanctuary enters alone, it is very dangerous, and any army that tries to cross the Death Swamp is a dead end. To the west are Mount Roni and Mount Nila, lofty mountains. To the east is the vast and beautiful Aegean Sea. And here ......"
Su Ye pointed to the location on the shore of the Marathon Plain and said: "This bay, called Marathon Bay, has a flat shore and can be called a natural harbor, which is also the main reason why the Persian army chose to land here. They have too many people and too many warships, and if they choose to land on a coast that is not wide enough, once we make a surprise attack, the outcome can be imagined. ”
"Our Marathon fortress is located on the south side of the Marathon Plain, and once the Persians break through the Marathon fortress, they can go directly to the heart of Greece, either south or west, which becomes our nightmare. So, we can only block the Persians here. Since we can't keep defending and have to fight, then the first battle must not only be won, but also a big victory, completely crushing their spirit. Normally, they wouldn't use the Legion of Giants, the Descendants of the Serpent, the Elephant Legion, or the Beast Knights in their first battle, right? Su Ye asked.
Fast nodded: "The transportation of the War Elephant Legion, the Giant Legion, and the Warcraft Knights is very difficult, they dare not take risks, and only after the army has established itself in the Marathon Plains, can they be transported from Euboea Island, and they will not be able to catch up with the first battle." The Descendants of the Raging Serpent are an army of flying monsters, a deterrent force that will not be used unless the Persians are fully defeated. Moreover, we already have the means to deal with the Legion of Raging Serpents, and although it will come at a great cost, it will be worth it. ”
"Sure enough, it's pretty much what I deduced. Then, the army of the Persians in the first battle should be mostly ordinary troops, and at most some undead troops will be added. The Persians are different from us Greeks, the Greeks take the route of elite soldiers, our warriors, mostly heavy infantry, each of them has been trained for a long time, and the proportion of our warrior apprentices and black iron warriors is far greater than that of the Persians. Although Persia was an empire, the undead army and the king's army accounted for less than a quarter, and most of the rest of the soldiers were temporarily conscripted from all over the country. The Persian generals and nobles did not care whether the ordinary soldiers lived or died, not to mention leather armor, and even wore tattered clothes, armed with the most ordinary spears, and did not even have wooden shields, which were called light infantry. That's right? Su Ye asked.
"Yes, it seems that you know a lot about the Persians." Fast Road.
"I have studied the battles of the Persians, and they like to charge the enemy with absolute numerical superiority, and they are especially fond of putting the king's army and the undead army in the middle of the army, and gouging through the enemy. However, their regular army was limited, so the light infantry on both flanks became the greatest weakness of their battle formations. Su Ye said.
"Keep talking!" Fast's eyes lit up, and everyone could see that he was excited.
Su Ye said: "In the future war, I dare not say that there are means to win, but in this first war, I not only have the certainty of victory, but also have the confidence to give the Persian army a head-on blow and completely weaken their morale." ”
"By what means?" Fast asked eagerly.
"On the contrary, we strengthened the two flanks of the Greek coalition and focused on the defeat of the Persian flanks. Then, our Chinese army, defend with all its might, as long as our Chinese army can withstand the onslaught of the undead army and the king's army, and drag it until the Persian army collapses on both flanks. In order to avoid being flanked by our side on three sides, the Persian Chinese army will inevitably be carried back by their two wings. But in reality, the retreat of the Persian Chinese army is always slower than that of the two flanks, and our large army can form a 'V' shape, constantly flanking the Persian Chinese army from three sides......"
Su Ye looked around at everyone and continued: "The longer the Persian Chinese army holds out, the greater their losses. When the time comes, we can even slow down the pace of the two wings, slow down the impact on the two wings of Persia, and devote our main energy to killing and wounding the Persian royal army and the undead army. The light infantry of Persia are miscellaneous soldiers, and we only need to attack them with saturation magic to break their morale, but the regular army is different, and we must try to eat them up little by little, like bones. Only in this way can the morale and confidence of the Persians be undermined, and they can be more and more fearful. ”
"As soon as they break down on all fronts, we chase them at full speed and deal them a fatal blow. If they are not prepared, we can even break up their large camp in one fell swoop, and then attack their ships. We probably only have this chance to eat the main force of Persia in formation, and once their other powerful legions appear, what we will gnaw next is not bones, but stones. ”
Su Ye just simplified the actual process of another marathon battle.
Fast sighed and said, "I really didn't expect you to have such a vision, it seems that I should have captured you in the Athenian army before." None of the people present were outsiders, and I can tell you the truth, Admiral Micyades wanted to use the exact same tactics, but many people objected, thinking it was too risky. The first battle is going on tomorrow, and they're still arguing. ”
"Is there something wrong?" Su Ye asked.
"Of course there is a problem, we are too small in number. The Persian army can directly send 100,000 or even 150,000 troops to battle tomorrow, and we can only send 20,000 at most. This tactical requirement was that the Chinese army could defend against the regular Persian army, if it could not...... The consequences are unimaginable. What's more, the pursuit you mentioned is almost impossible, the Persian army ashore has exceeded 200,000, and we are now unable to attack their large camp. "Fast Road.
"Twenty thousand versus one hundred thousand? No problem. Su Ye remembered another battle of Marathon, which was a disparity of 10,000 to 90,000, and as a result, the Greek side won by an absolute majority, killing only 200 people, while the Persians lost more than 6,000 people.
"Good boy, there are too few people who have faith in the Greeks! You didn't go through our pre-war meeting, it's just a chicken feather, the main battle faction and the main peace faction are arguing like frogs in a pond, General Mithiade has such a good temper, and the last hand is holding the hilt of the sword. You are very good, I will definitely tell the general everything you said. Fast was immensely appreciative.
Su Ye smiled and said: "Since both of us have no objection to the two flanks of the Persian army, it is how to defend the Persian Chinese army." I believe that with enough magicians, it is possible to hold them back. We just need to delay slowly, and after the victory of the two wings over the Persian wings, it will be our chance to counterattack. ”
Fast stared at the magic map and muttered to himself: "100,000 Persian troops, about 20,000 king's army and 3,000 undead army, if we follow your and the general's tactics, we definitely have a chance to annihilate them and win a great victory unprecedented in history." ”
