As for Xiao Yunyang's lying and not showing the decisive battle between the main force, Minos had never considered it.

Because it is meaningless for Xiao Yunyang to lie on such things.

There are traces to whether Xiao Yunyang's troops and whether he set out. If Xiao Yunyang did not lead his troops to the decisive battle site, the Knossos and Heraklionis would naturally not head towards the decisive battle site.

So many people can't hide it, unless the Heraklion and Knossos are idiots!

Because of this, once Xiao Yunyang does not lead the main force to fight, not only will he not be able to lead out the army of the two city-states, but he will also be sneered by others for making a comeback, which will make outsiders mistakenly think that Xiao Yunyang is afraid!

If the proposal party breached the contract, the reputation will be hit far higher than the recipient party.

This kind of battle mode seems rather stupid, but is actually determined by the social productivity of this era...

Due to the backward agricultural production and a small population, every young and strong man is a valuable labor force.

War is inevitable that these precious young and strong laborers will be separated from production, resulting in a serious decline in the overall GDP of society. Over time, it is easy to cause large-scale famine!

Therefore, in ancient wars, both sides of the war hoped to quickly fight and make quick decisions to minimize the impact of the decline in productivity brought about by the war.

Unless one of the parties is not strong enough and dares to fight, they have to use methods such as strengthening the wall and clearing the field to create a defense battle that consumes one thousand enemies and damages himself by 800.

In ancient wars, the land was vast and sparsely populated, and transportation was basically driven by travel, and communication was basically driven by yelling. If two sides had similar strengths fought, first of all, encountering each other would be a big problem...

Especially when one side avoids war, unless the cavalry chases the infantry, the main forces will not encounter each other on the ancient battlefield.

As for long-range raids, the backward logistics supply system can destroy a country.

The most important thing is that now it is just a city-state battle, with poor population and food reserves, and there is not much military ration available for logistics supplies.

If you fight a siege at this time, there is no need to be too much. After a year, no matter whether it is Xiao Yunyang or the surrounded party, they will starve to death!

Instead of both sides being injured and starving to death, it is better to have a main showdown at a time and place. In this way, the winning side can take all the game.

After all, before the war, everyone instinctively regarded themselves as the winning side...

Xiao Yunyang felt that he would win, so he was naturally unwilling to surround the fortresses of the two major city-states, and then fight a siege with unknown outcomes under the enemy's military strength.

Even if Xiao Yunyang has enough soldier cards and can still harvest the souls in the battle, Xiao Yunyang is very clear about the casualty ratio in ancient siege battles. As long as the opponent prepares more equipment to defend the city, it is not impossible to score a casualty ratio of 1 to 10...

No matter how many soldiers Xiao Yunyang has, he can't afford to consume!

What's more, besieging one of them, and another city-state is eyeing her to buy the bottom!

Therefore, Xiao Yunyang simply did not do it all the time, adopted the ancient Greek city-state system to independently compete with the main force of the other two major city-states.

This decisive battle between the two city-states must do their best to pull out all their troops. As long as Xiao Yunyang wins and ensures that the enemy does not have a large number of defeated soldiers flees, he can seize the fortresses of the two city-states without bloodshed and complete the unification of Crete!

As for failure...

In Xiao Yunyang's eyes, there is no possibility of failure at all!

After all, field battles are different from siege battles, and the difference between the two sides' losses cannot be too big. In Xiao Yunyang's eyes, it is much more suitable than siege battles.

The most important thing is that more elite enemy soldiers can be killed in field battles, and naturally more battle souls can be obtained.

After all, ordinary militias have little effect in field battles, but in the battle of defending the city, any farmer can resist for a while when he picks up a weapon.

Xiao Yunyang felt that he would win in the field, and the other two major city-states naturally believed that he would win.

They are different from Xiao Yunyang and are judged based on the comparison of forces between the two sides.

The various policy announcements of the General Mansion of the Han Dynasty had long been learned by the senior officials of the two city-states, and they also learned that a new word appeared in the Seris - Chinese characters.

Fortunately, in order to control the white slaves, the Han General's Mansion translated Chinese characters and announced that the first thing to do is to understand.

In addition, the General Mansion of the Han Dynasty also started translation work of Chinese and Greek, which provided great help to the system. Among the migrant Han families, there are many Han scholars who mastered Greek in another world.

In the intelligence collected by senior officials of the two major city-states in Crete, the Han army's forces were composed of 200 militias, 100 female militias (women in the camp), 50 very well-equipped light infantry, and 100 heavy infantry similar to the city-state guards.

In addition, the two major city-states also knew that the Han General's Mansion implemented a universal slavery system and demoted all white people to slave class. In other words, the Han General's Mansion could not recruit cannon fodder soldiers from the white people under his rule.

After all, there were only 250 field troops in the General Mansion of the Han Dynasty!

Greek city-states will not count militias as field troops. They perform too poorly in field battles and are only suitable for cannon fodder and civilians.

The 100 women in the battalion were counted into the field troops because the women in the battalion were equipped with better equipment.

The Greek whites in this world are habitually calculating the strengths and weaknesses of soldiers based on their equipment, because the weak are not worthy of wearing good equipment.

There are only more than 200 Han soldiers. According to Xiao Yunyang's previous performance, the summoned troops will not exceed four digits, and they are all ordinary soldiers!

This information was spread by the defeated soldiers and could not be concealed at all!

With all the plans and plans, the Han army has only a field force of more than a thousand. How could the two major city-states be afraid?

You know, as long as there is enough time, it is fine to pull out more than 2,000 regular troops in the two major city-states, one-quarter of which are elite troops like the city-state guards!

The way of comparing military power in this era is very simple - the total number of troops and the number of elite troops.

Obviously, both of these two Xiao Yunyang is at an absolute disadvantage.

Naturally, this appointment was readily accepted by two major city-states.

They also hope to eliminate Xiao Yunyang, a non-rules Serris, in one fell swoop, and then take over the inheritance of the Faestes, digest it, and then use force to determine who is the real master of Crete.

The long-term discrimination against skin color has easily brought the Heraklionists and the Knossos together to form a coalition forces to fight against Xiao Yunyang.

A month later, after the news that Xiao Yunyang led the Han army from the spies from the two city-states passed back, a wave of celebration suddenly set off among the two city-states.

The last concern has been dispelled, and Xiao Yunyang did not go back on his word!
