Chapter 557

After a while, the carriage stopped and Su Ye dismounted.

General fast had stepped out of the carriage. His gray hair stood like a short black-and-white needle. His smile was very bright. He opened his arms and came to give Su ye a big hug.

"I haven't seen you for half a year. You seem tall and strong." Fast put his hands on Su Ye's shoulders, leaned back slightly, and his eyes were full of joy and appreciation.

"Hello, general. It's time for me to grow up and change a lot. Today is the College meeting. We discussed the possible battle of Hippo. Let's wait. Let's go inside and talk. " Suye road.

Fast nodded, and Su ye entered the door one after another.

After walking a few steps in the yard and approaching the corridor column, fast was surprised and said, "have you been promoted to gold?"

"I just got promoted not long ago." Su Ye smiled.

"Well, this is the best news I've heard in the past six months!" Fast sighed.

"Oh? You don't know about the knights? " Su ye asked.

Fast was stunned, looked around and whispered, "we guessed a little, but we can't touch it. Is it about you? "

"Since you don't know, you can't talk about it in detail until you have the results." Suye road.

"OK. Then say something you can. You predicted the marathon last time, so where do you think we will fight this time? " Fast sat down and looked at Suye.

Su Ye opened the magic book and a three-dimensional map of Greece emerged.

"I have considered this issue for a long time. Let's start with ground warfare. " Su ye said as he drew a circle with his fingers in the air, he saw three red circles on the ground of Greece.

When he saw the four red circles, fast's eyes flashed.

Su Ye pointed to the first red circle and said, "first, the landing point of Persia in the last battle, marathon. We do not rule out the possibility of Persian landing from here again, but this possibility is very small. The marathon war hit Persia unprecedentedly. It was the worst defeat in Persian history. "

"Yes, it is also the first time that Persia has suffered a big defeat in the face of an opponent far less than itself. Of course, the greatest hero is you. " Fast smiled kindly.

Su Ye pointed to the northwest of Greece and said, "the fundamental reason why I judge they won't land from marathon is that they sent too many troops this time, which is known as five million. Even the Persian Empire could not carry five million people by sea. Of course, we can't calculate the actual number of their combat troops. Do you have any predictions? " Su ye asked.

Fast sighed and said, "there are not many elite armies in Persia, less than 500000. However, this time, Persia has mobilized manpower from other occupied countries and transferred a large number of ordinary people as soldiers, that is, the common miscellaneous soldiers before us. They are called light infantry. They have nothing but light infantry. We suspect that the total number of main forces plus miscellaneous soldiers plus auxiliary soldiers will really exceed 3 million. "

"Are they going to use the magic bread tree to provide food?" Su Ye frowned and asked.

"Yes. Such a huge army can't provide perfect logistics at all, so only the regular army can get normal supplies, and those miscellaneous soldiers can only eat magic bread and fruit. "

"It's OK 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 is that the miscellaneous soldiers can hold the spear and stab forward. They only need to live another year." Fast gave a long sigh.

"Alas..." Su ye also sighed softly.

"Go on." Fast road.

Su Ye pointed to two adjacent parallel circles in the northwest and said, "since the Persian army will invade south from the northwest, it must pass through the valley of Tempe or proguan, conquer sesali and reach central Greece. Have the generals reached a consensus on this? "

"Yes, we have taken these two places as the front line battlefield to block the Persian army, but we are not sure which place they are mainly attacking and can only be guarded by troops." Fast road.

Su Ye felt a little helpless. He knew marathon and Wenquan pass, but he really didn't remember these two places before, let alone where the Persian army in that world passed through.

"Yes, we can't judge. They may move the whole army to one place, or they may divide their troops in two ways and attack two fortresses at the same time. After all, they are the leaders of two kings. But what is certain is... We can't hold it. "

Suye stared into fast's eyes.

Fast sighed softly and said, "many generals think they can hold it, but general mityad and a few generals think that Persia will pave a way through sesali to reach Hera at all costs, even if it paves the way with human life and flesh. The reason is very simple. They have lost the marathon. Even they are ready to lose the second Greek Polish war, but they must not lose outside the first pass. "

Su Ye nodded.

Fast continued, "neither Xerxes nor Gilgamesh is the fool of madeus. Gilgamesh has an unimaginable age, and his grasp of war is far greater than all of us. Xerxes was also guided by famous teachers. His experience in Persia proved that he was an excellent commander. Therefore, the two of them will choose the most correct way to cross Thessaly and reach central Greece. At first, I didn't understand this truth until general mityad pointed it out. I didn't expect you to see it. "

"So, what is the strategy of general mityad?" Su ye asked.

"He said that the temple had begun to prepare. No accident, it could inflict heavy damage on Persia. However, even so, it is impossible to completely defeat Persia in the first war. Because there are so many of them that our soldiers and mages can't kill them all when they run out of divine power or magic. "

Su ye thought for a moment and said, "it seems that general mitaiad's view is the same as mine. No matter which fortress Persia attacks, we should be ready to retreat. However, in the first war, we must give them a head-on blow, hurt them, hurt to the depths of their souls, and make them fear! I want to turn the Greek coalition into a devil in the hearts of the Persians! "

Su Ye's voice was unequivocal.

"Can you really do it?" Fast's eyes lit up.

"I will be the commander in chief of the first war." Suye road.

Just as fast was about to ask, he suddenly turned and looked at the Acropolis in the center of Athens and the giant statue of Athena under the night.

"I probably understand. I have also heard some news. It seems that the temple was preparing a long time ago, and you should be the core of the whole thing. Good job! " Fast looked at Suye with hot eyes.

"However, I can only say that I can win the first war and even the first few wars. Once the Persians fight the war of attrition desperately, we Greece will lose or not win. So we must retreat and let Sally do well. " Suye road.

"And then?" Asked fast.

"Then, stick to the hot spring pass! It was the last gateway to Greece. Once Persia breaks through the hot spring pass and drives the president straight in, the whole Athens will be exposed in front of their army, which also means that all our efforts will be wasted. We even have to give up the city of Athens and run south, constantly running away and looking for the last chance. But this is not the end I want to see. " Su ye said in a deep voice.

"Good. Even the generals who opposed general mithiad knew that once the hot spring was lost, the Persians would become a nightmare for Greece. " Fast road.

Su ye said, "so we have to defend Wenquan pass at all costs until... We can't defend it."

Fast said firmly, "we can! The hot spring pass is far smaller than the other two fortresses, and the front is narrow. Even if Persia has ten times our troops, it can't be used! The hot spring pass is enough to hold out until the Persians retreat. "

"However, the hot spring pass is not the only channel." Suye road.

"What? You mean... There's a mountain road we don't know in Mount Holmes? " Fast was surprised.

Su Ye nodded, then pointed to the three-dimensional magic map, and saw that the magic map was constantly enlarged.

Finally, I saw the extremely narrow hot spring pass. The south of the hot spring pass was marked with Mount Holmes and the North was Maris Bay.

The map continues to change, and finally shows a mountain road in ROMs mountain, which can bypass Wenquan pass.

"This mountain road is very steep and rugged, and large troops can't pass at all. As long as someone is stationed to block the mountain road, the Persians will pay a hundred times more than the hot spring pass. However, everything is possible. In order to avoid traitors among us and accidents, I hope to build a hilltop fortress at the most dangerous place of Mount ROMs, and then... Establish a temporary transmission array at the hilltop fortress and hot spring pass to ensure that in the time of crisis on either side, the other side can send elite to help. "

"Good! General mithiad sent me here, and I was right! We don't know that mountain road! Although we will find the mountain road when we arrive at Wenquan pass, if we can't build the fortress early, it will inevitably become a hidden danger! Don't worry, I'll tell the general today to send people to build a fortress on Mount Holmes and completely block the Persians! "

Su Ye nodded and turned to meditation.

Fast said excitedly, "our Greek magicians are far better than Persians. As long as soldiers and magicians join hands, even Persians can't reach Athens in the narrow hot spring pass and ROMs fortress!"

Su Ye shook his head and said, "you underestimate the Persians. If Persia can't break through the hot spring pass, they have three options. "

"Tell me."

"The first possibility, you should think of. It is the usual means of the Persian army to encircle the rear. The Persian army had nothing to do as long as it guarded mount Holmes and the hot spring pass by land. However, they can bypass the hunting God Strait by sea, look at the temple of the great hunting goddess, land behind the hot spring pass, and attack back and forth. Therefore, the hunting God Strait is a hot spring pass on the sea. I believe that with the presence of general demes, we can stop the enemy from the hunter 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 Greece has a small number of navies, its naval strength has always been stronger than that of Persia. As long as we mobilize enough navies, it will be enough to block the Persian army. "
