The World of Deities Chapter 557: Defensive Hot Spring Pass
After a while, the carriage stopped and Su Ye dismounted.
General Fast has stepped out of the carriage, his gray hair stands up like short black and white needles, his smile is extremely bright, he opened his arms and walked over to give Su Ye a big hug.
"Has been gone for half a year, you seem to be taller and stronger." Fast held Su Ye's shoulders with both hands, his body leaned back slightly, his eyes full of joy and admiration.
"Hello, General. I am growing up now, and I have changed a lot. Today is the academy meeting to discuss the possible battle of Hippo, so you can just wait. Let's go into the house and talk." Su Yedao.
Fast nodded and walked in with Su Ye.
Walking a few steps in the yard, approaching the pillars, Fast suddenly said in surprise: "Have you been promoted to gold?"
"Just promoted not long ago." Su Ye smiled.
"Well, this is the best news I have heard in the past six months!" Fast sighed lightly.
"Oh? You don't know about the Knights?" Su Ye asked.
Fast froze for a moment, looked around, and whispered: "We vaguely guessed a bit, but we can't figure it out. Is it related to you?"
"Since you don't know, you still can't elaborate. You can only talk about it when there is a result." Su Ye said.
"Okay. Let me just say something. You predicted the marathon last time, then, where do you think we will fight this time?" Fast sat down and looked at Su Ye.
Su Ye opened the magic book, and a three-dimensional map of Greece appeared.
"I've been thinking about this issue for a long time. Let's talk about ground warfare first." Su Ye said as his fingers circled in mid-air, and three red circles appeared on the ground in Greece.
Fast's eyes flickered when he saw the four red circles.
Su Ye pointed to the first red circle and said: "First of all, the landing point of Persia in the last battle, Marathon. We do not rule out the possibility of Persia landing from here again, but this possibility is very small. The Battle of Marathon The blow to Persia was unprecedented. It was the worst defeat in Persian history."
"Yes, it is also the first time that Persia faced a far fewer opponent and was defeated. Of course, the biggest hero is you." Fast smiled kindly.
Su Ye pointed to the northwest of Greece and said: "I judge that the fundamental reason why they will not land from the marathon is that they have dispatched too many troops this time, claiming to be five million. Even the Persian Empire, it is impossible. Carrying five million people across the sea. Of course, we can't calculate how many actual combatable soldiers they have. Does your military have any predictions?" Su Ye asked.
Fast sighed and said: "Persia has not many elite troops, less than half a million, but this time, Persia has mobilized manpower from other countries that it has captured, and has mobilized a large number of ordinary people. When a soldier, that is, the common soldier we used before, is known as the light infantry, there is nothing but light. We suspect that the total number of various main forces plus mixed soldiers plus auxiliary soldiers will really exceed three million."
"Are they going to use the magic bread tree to provide support?" Su Ye frowned.
"Yes. Such a huge army can't provide perfect logistics at all, so only the regular army can get normal supplies, and the miscellaneous soldiers can only eat magic breadfruit."
"It's okay to eat breadfruit for a short time, but if you eat it for several months, it will have a great impact on your body."
"What they need are those miscellaneous soldiers who can hold spears and stab forward, that's enough. They only need to live for another year." Fast sighed.
"Hey..." Su Ye also sighed softly.
"Go on." Fast said.
Su Ye pointed to two adjacent parallel circles in the northwest direction, and said: "Since the Persian army will detour from the northwest to the south, it must pass through Tempe Valley or Proguan, conquer Thessaly, and arrive in central Greece. This One point, the generals have reached a consensus, right?"
"Yes, we have used these two places as the first line of battle against the Persian army, but we are not sure which place they are attacking, so we can only guard them separately." Fast said.
Su Ye felt a little helpless in his heart. He knew the marathon and the hot spring pass, but he didn't remember these two places before, let alone where the Persian army in that world passed through.
"Yes, we have no way of judging this. They may move the entire army to one place, or they may divide their troops into two directions, attacking two fortresses at the same time. After all, they are the leader of the two kings. But it is certain. It's... we can't keep it."
Su Ye stared at Fast's eyes.
Fast sighed lightly and said: "Many generals think that they can hold on, but General Mitheyade and a few generals believe that Persia will do whatever it takes in these two places, even with human lives and flesh and blood. To pave the way, we must also pave a way through Thessaly to reach Greece. The reason is simple, they have lost the marathon, and even they are prepared for the defeat of the second Hippo War, but they must not lose. Outside the first pass."
Su Ye nodded.
Fast continued: "Neither Xerxes nor Gilgamesh is the idiot of Madaus. Gilgamesh has an unimaginable age, and his grasp of war far exceeds all of us. Xerxes also received the guidance of a famous teacher, and his experience in Persia proved that he is an excellent commander. Therefore, the two of them will choose the most correct way to pass through Thessaly and arrive in central Greece. At the beginning, I didn’t figure this out, until General Mitheyade pointed it out. I didn’t expect that you could see it too."
"So, what is the strategy of General Mitheyade?" Su Ye asked.
"He said that the temple has already begun preparations, and it is no accident that it can inflict heavy damage on Persia. However, even so, it is impossible to completely defeat Persia in the first battle. Because they have too many people, as many as ours. Warriors and wizards have exhausted their divine power or magic power, and cannot kill them all."
Su Ye pondered for a moment, and said: "It seems that General Mitheyade's opinion is the same as mine. No matter which fortress Persia is attacking, we must be prepared to retreat. However, in the first battle, we must Give them a head-on blow, hurt them to the depths of their souls, and make them fearful! I want the Greek coalition forces to turn into demons in the hearts of the Persians!"
Su Ye's voice is decisive.
"Can you really do it?" Fast's eyes beamed.
"I will be the commander in command of the first battle." Su Yedao.
Fast was about to inquire, suddenly turned his head to look at the Acropolis Hill in the center of Athens, and at the colossal statue of Athena in the night.
"I probably understand. I have also vaguely heard some news. It seems that the temple was preparing for a long time, and you should be the core of the whole thing. Good!" Fast looked at Su Industry, eyes are hot.
"However, I can only say that we can win the first battle, and even the first few wars. Once the Persians fight desperately in the war of attrition, our Greece will be unbeaten. Therefore, we must retreat and let the outstanding Sally ." Su Yedao.
"What about?" Fast asked.
"After that, we will stick to the hot spring pass! That is the last gateway to Greece. Once Persia breaks through the hot spring pass, it will drive straight in. The whole of Athens will be exposed to their army, which means that all our efforts will be In spite of this, we even have to abandon the city of Athens, flee south, keep running away, looking for the last chance. But this is not the ending I want to see." Su Ye said in a deep voice.
"Yes. Even those generals who are opposed to General Miteaud understand that once the hot spring pass is lost, the Persians will become a nightmare for Greece." Fast said.
Su Yedao: "So, we have to defend Hot Spring Pass at all costs until... we confirm that we can't hold it."
Fast resolutely said: "We must be! The hot spring pass is far narrower than the other two fortresses, and the battle line is narrow. Even if Persia has ten times the strength of ours, it can't be used! The hot spring pass is enough to hold on to the Persians. Retreat."
"However, Wenquan Pass is not the only passage." Su Yedao.
"What? You mean... Mount Roms has mountain trails that we don't know?" Fast was taken aback.
Su Ye nodded, then pointed to the three-dimensional magic map, and saw that the magic map kept zooming in.
Finally, I saw the extremely narrow Hot Spring Pass. The south side of the Hot Spring Pass was marked with Mount Roms and the north side was Maris Bay.
The map continues to change, and finally shows a mountain road in Mount Roms, which can bypass the hot spring pass.
"This mountain road is very steep and rugged, and large troops cannot pass at all. As long as they are stationed to block the mountain road, the Persians will pay a hundred times the price of the hot spring pass if they want to pass. However, everything is possible, for To prevent traitors from appearing among us, and to avoid accidents, I hope to build a hilltop fortress in the most precarious part of Mount Roms now, and then...set up a temporary teleportation formation at each of the hilltop fortress and the hot spring pass. When one party is in crisis, the other party can send elites to help."
"Okay! General Mitheyade sent me here, and I was right! We don’t know the mountain road! Although we will find that mountain road when we arrive at Wenquan Pass, if we can’t build a fortress early, it’s inevitable. It will become a hidden danger! Don’t worry, I will tell the general today to let people go to Mount Roms to build a fortress~IndoMTL.com~ completely stop the Persians!"
Su Ye nodded and turned to contemplation.
Fast said with excitement: "Our Greek magicians are far better than Persia. As long as the warriors and magicians join forces, in the narrow hot springs and the Roma Fortress, even if the Persian people shed their blood. Arrived in Athens!"
Su Ye shook his head and said: "You underestimated the Persians. If Persia can't break through the hot spring pass, they still have three options."
"Talk about it."
"The first possibility, you should think of. It is the method used by the Persian army to outflank it from the rear. As long as the land is guarded by Mount Roms and the hot spring pass, the Persian army has nothing to do. However, they can bypass the hunting by sea. The Strait of God, looking at the temple of the great goddess of hunting, walked around to the back of the hot spring pass, and flanked back and forth. Therefore, the strait of the hunting **** is a hot spring pass on the sea. I believe that the presence of General Dimis can prevent the **** of hunting. Strait, but...what if there is an accident?" Su Ye asked.
Fast was silent for a long time and said: "We have also considered the Hunter Strait for a long time. However, although the number of the Greek navy is small, the naval power has always been stronger than that of Persia. ."
