However, in the eyes of the mercenaries, the so-called "general" was just a legal intervention in the hot spring pass in Persia and Greece, and arranged identity.

Relieving Leonida's doubts, the Spartan king called Dassos and, together with Hager and Yunqi, began a military discussion on the docking of Persian ships in the Strait of Uberia.

Originally, this military meeting was not qualified to participate, but at the request of King Leonida, the mercenary commander Hager was qualified to participate with the two giants.

This made Dassos, the commander of the Greek coalition, not very happy, but he respected the decision of the Spartan king. Moreover, the combat effectiveness shown by the mercenaries in the battle of more and less yesterday had already daunted the commander of the coalition.

As Hager's personal aide, Yun Qi participated in this casual but sacred meeting, and at the beginning of the meeting, he eliminated Dass's prejudice against him.

Because Yun Qi informed the enemy's intelligence in detail to King Sparta and Dassus.

"The Persian Navy dispatched about 400 warships, of which the largest Persian warship, had three rows of oars, as many as 100."

Yun Qi spoke out one by one the information detected by the rock drone. When the total mobilization of Persian vanguard troops reached 8,000, Leonida and Dassos were silent.

Now, all the troops stationed in the Hot Spring Pass are only 8,000, and the enemy's vanguard troops alone gathered the same number as themselves. In this way, the two commanders had to consider whether to dispatch.

Dassus insisted on conservative practices. Instead of wasting his troops to attack the Persian navy that had just landed, it was better to stick to the hot spring pass and clear the fields.

Hager, who didn't understand strategy, remained silent and handed over his voice to Yun Qi.

King Leonida, who had no opinion, also looked at him, wanting to hear the thoughts of the real manipulator behind the mercenary.

"General Dassus's view is the most secure, but in this troublesome time, being safe is not the best decision. Xerxes led a total of 300,000 troops and landed here in one day. Now, we are only facing a small part of the 300,000 troops, and we are timid and unable to hold on, which will only hit our army's low morale."

Whenever Dassus mentioned "morality", he remained silent.

Persia is known as a million troops. This news spread throughout the Greek Federation as Persian envoys traveled everywhere, just like a plague.

Now the entire Greek Federation is immersed in immense sorrow and anger.

Many city lords of small city-states are preparing to accept Xerxes's title.

If Athens and Sparta, the most powerful Greek Federation, were not opposed to the public and condemned the people, they would be afraid that the entire Federation would surrender without fighting.

Now, Hot Spring Pass will be the first army battle between Greece and Persia. Once the near-stop hot spring pass fails, the plains behind will be safe. Those who wait for the entire Greek will perish.

Now, the 7,000 troops raised by the Federation are mixed with races and are shared against the enemy on the surface, but everyone knows in their hearts that this battle is so good that ten generals end in a crushing defeat.

Under such sad mood, morale will not be as high as possible.

It would be very good if these men did not flee. Once they really faced the powerful and terrifying Persian army, Dassus himself would not be sure whether his subordinates would be disorganized.

Dassus pondered for a long time before saying, "Even if you are right, what can we fight against the Persian army? Their number is equivalent to ours. Even if our entire army is deployed, even if there is no advantage in the number, even if there is a one-to-three loss, it will seriously hit our side's morale. Your bad idea will only put us in a state of doom. What's more, the other party has 400 warships and really can't beat us, so they can leave. What's more, we are not even a sampan? We can only watch them leave with our main force."

Yun Qi did not answer directly, but persuaded the coalition commander from another side:

"If it's just a problem of death, it's a very compromise solution. Unfortunately, the enemy's warships sent this time are mixed with other ships."

"Other ships? What does it mean?" Dassus knew that the other party was making a fool of himself, but as the commander, he had to dig into the bottom line. Now every decision affects the fate of more than 8,000 people.

"Bailship." Yun Qi spit out word by word.

After hearing these three words, Dassus and Sparta stood up in surprise and said in unison: "You are sure!"

Yun Qi certainly confirmed that the rock drone was the best reconnaissance method. Not long after the Persian Navy landed, it teleported the 3 holographic images there.

Judging from the size of the ship, one-third of the more than 400 ships are warships, and the remaining two-thirds are large and have large baggage ships without combat effectiveness.

Now, Dassus no longer insisted on his point of view and murmured: "The baggage ship cannot be allowed to land safely. We must find a way to destroy it!"

However, after Dassus looked at his subordinate who was eating voraciously, his determination in his eyes dissipated again.

It is not easy to destroy the enemy's baggage.

As long as soldiers who know a little about military strategy, they know that baggage is the most critical factor in combat. Without logistics support from baggage, no matter how powerful the troops are, they become rootless trees, without any guarantee.

With Persia's talents, how could it be that it is impossible for it to not even understand such a superficial truth?

They must send elite troops to escort and guard against their sneak attacks.

In this way, even if they destroy the supplies and logistics of the Persian army without any consequences, most of the troops sent out will not be able to come back.

Dassus said helplessly: "If there are enough personnel, I will definitely send a suicide squad composed of elite troops to destroy the baggage at any cost, but now our only 8,000 troops cannot afford any losses."

Speaking of this, Dassus looked at King Leonida and said with reproach: "Originally, your Sparta sent the main force to at least equal the number of our coalition forces. In this way, we cannot take into account the two main roads and the small paths of the Hot Spring Pass. Now our main force is concentrated at the middle gate of the Hot Spring Pass. Once the Persians discovered the road and surrounded it from there, there would be only one fate that we had to be wiped out!"

The King of Sparta patted Dassus's steel-like shoulder and comforted him: "Old friend, don't worry about this. The path is very secretive. The Persians are not familiar with the terrain here. If they want to discover the secrets of the path, they will take ten days and half a month to discover it. At that time, the sacred sacred festival of Sparta was over, and the Athenians also gained enough time to prepare for war."

"But"

"I understand, old friend, your concerns are not unreasonable. I will send my 1,000 slave troops to guard the trail," Leonida said.

"In that case, we will have even less people to raid!" Dassus protested.

"No, there is no need for too many troops to attack Persian baggage troops, and even if it is defeated, it is necessary to require many people." Yun Qi's voice made the two main generals look at each other. To be continued.
