Chapter 119 Agamemnon's Fear

With a bang, the bronze wine glass suddenly fell on the stone brick floor. Agamemnon's face was horrified, and he looked at the kneeling Pylos warrior with a slightly dull gaze, and asked as if he couldn't believe it:
"Did you just say that Lei Zihao, who has recently risen among the Serisians, is marching towards the city of Pylos with an army of tens of thousands and many siege equipment?

Are you sure the opponent has tens of thousands of troops? "

Lei Zihao brought troops to attack him, and Agamemnon might have been prepared, but Lei Zihao once again brought out tens of thousands of people after losing his troops after the Crusades...

What a joke!
Could it be that Lei Zihao is the son of the gods? !
During the Battle of Megara City, weren't the corpses of the Seris people covered with the entire city wall?
Where the hell did Lei Zihao pull out another [-] troops!
Therefore, although Agamemnon was confident that the best scout under his command would not deceive him, he still doubted whether the other party might have counted the wrong number...

In fact, when marching and fighting in ancient times, the general number of the enemy's army was rarely judged by the method of "counting heads", unless the two armies were facing each other and the army appeared on the battlefield, and the general number was used when it was clear at a glance Count the way to estimate!
Normally, the professional scouts who marched and fought in ancient times would pass the food and grass pulled by the enemy's marching column, the enemy's camp at night, and the bonfire traces of the abandoned camp left behind after the enemy left at dawn, and even the amount of 'shit', To roughly estimate the true strength of the enemy!
You can't let the scouts get close to the enemy's army, let's count them a little bit. Is it true that the enemy has no scouts, no cavalry, and everyone just knows how to hurry without looking around?
The scouts who marched and fought in ancient times can be said to be veterans with rich experience and complicated knowledge, and they can definitely be regarded as talents among soldiers!

Moreover, as a scout, you must have good legs and keen insight because you often have to face the wild situation where there are many enemies and few enemies, otherwise you may never come back when you go out!
Furthermore, orthodox scouts are often very good at fighting!

If you encounter a small enemy patrol force, you must at least have the strength to escape!

To sum up, soldiers who can act as scouts and gain the trust of the commander are paid much higher than ordinary soldiers, and often only the best soldiers can be employed!

This tradition has continued to the era of hot weapons. The vanguards are veterans, and there are very few soldiers who directly serve as vanguards after completing recruit training.

Lei Zihao brought tens of thousands of people to rob houses. Naturally, such a big target was easily discovered by the Pylos, and Agamemnon immediately sent the best Pylos scouts to find out its strength!

Then Agamemnon was petrified...

"There are indeed tens of thousands of people in Seris. According to investigations, most of them are prisoners of the Crusaders who surrendered to Lei Zihao."

The faces of the Crusader prisoners of war and the Sires are easy to identify. The Sires belong to the oriental yellow race, while the Crusaders from the main world of humans are all Caucasian. As long as they are not blind, they can be seen at a glance...

"Lei Zihao has an incredible talent under his command..." Agamemnon sat on his throne dejectedly, holding his forehead and sighing.

Even though those crusaders didn't have any faith and were willing to work hard for survival and money, it was not as simple as talking about pulling tens of thousands of prisoners out of war to serve Lei Zihao!
Transforming prisoners of war into servants has been valued by various noble commanders since ancient times, but this kind of thing looks very profitable, but it is very difficult to do!

Who can guarantee that those servants will not turn around and deal with themselves?
From the fact that most of the troops led by Lei Zihao were prisoners of the Crusades, it was not difficult to see that Lei Zihao had initially taken over those prisoners of the Crusades. Obviously, this was the result of brilliant talents!

Lei Zihao from the modern society only thinks of Li Si as an ordinary military general who can turn prisoners of war into cannon fodder. Only the boss of this world knows how hard it is to meet such a person as Li Si!

Even though Li Si had shortcomings such as being greedy for life and afraid of death, greedy for military success and so on, relying on his ability, he was able to get into a high-status position under the hands of the nobles without having to personally be involved in danger!
Of course, Agamemnon knew that it had nothing to do with Lei Zihao's talents. What he needed to care about now was how to survive!
That's an army of tens of thousands!

Or the terrifying murderer who defeated the Hundred Thousand Crusades not long ago!
Defeating the Crusaders may not be a big deal in the main human world. After all, the Crusaders' popularity among the aristocratic upper class is not a secret, and the church has not shown its true strength!
But for Agamemnon, the Hundred Thousand Crusaders only need to stretch out a finger to crush themselves...

The current situation is that after defeating the existence that can crush oneself, and then pulling out more than 1 people to attack oneself, no matter how you look at it, it seems that you are destined to be thrown into the street...

Agamemnon can become the leader of the city-state of Pylos. He is naturally not a mediocre person. He is very aware of the gap in combat power between the two sides. All the advantages in the field are gone, how can we fight?
Although the combat effectiveness of the surrendered Crusader prisoners of war is definitely not good, but that is also compared with the army of the human main world, compared with the Pylos warriors, it is just half a catty...

What's more, according to the rumors, Lei Zihao also has a personal guard composed of warriors of the official rank of knights. The fighting power is beyond the charts and the discipline is strict. !

"How many siege machines did the Sires bring?"

Agamemnon thought about it, and it seemed that he could only rely on the city defense to resist, but Agamemnon knew the degree of protection of his own city defense very well, so he asked again worriedly.

The Pylos scout at the bottom replied meticulously: "There are different numbers of ladders, and three buildings that are about the same height as our city walls!"

Agamemnon's face suddenly turned pale. Although the city-state of Pylos did not have the technology and iron materials to build siege vehicles, he still understood this kind of siege weapon. After all, the people of Pylos were not isolated savages. ...

In front of the siege vehicles, the city defense of Pylos City will no longer retain all its advantages. Now that it is done, even the city defense's advantage has been infinitely leveled...

Finally, the string in Agamemnon's heart broke. Between rights and life, he still chose to live. In any case, as long as he can keep his life and wealth, he can accept any price...

After the frustrated Agamemnon sent off the scouts, he wrote a sincere letter by himself and asked the messenger to send it to Lei Zihao's army!
