Chapter 47 Christoya’s Appointment
"A good idea, but I don't think the Persians have the guts to stay and attack us." Zantiparis said regretfully.

"Yes, the cowardly Persians are like rabbits." Timasong cursed. The death and injury of the soldiers made him angry and helpless.

"Let me lead the soldiers around the mountains!" Xenophon took the initiative to ask for a fight.

Hieronymus's face changed suddenly, and he remembered Xenophon's reckless attack before, which caused most of the soldiers to be damaged.

"I think Xenophon can do it!" Davers immediately agreed.

"We have no time to delay. We must act immediately, otherwise we may have to spend the night in the mountains tonight!" Crisano looked up at the weather and said anxiously.

Therefore, Xenophon's invitation to battle was quickly passed, and the leaders went back to rectify their troops.

Davos fell behind, thoughtful.

When Chrysops saw it, he couldn't help but stop, turned around and asked, "What is Chief Davos thinking?"

Davos was a little surprised when he saw that the always taciturn Chrisops rarely took the initiative to ask him questions: "I was thinking...well...it's lucky that the Persians didn't build defensive camps on the mountains, otherwise our losses would have been It’s huge.”

"You think too highly of Tissaphernes. Although the Persian cavalry and archers move quickly, in fact, their overall marching speed is much slower than ours. These Persian nobles headed by Tissaphernes are not as capable as us Greeks They endured hardships. They had to bring gorgeous tents, beautiful concubines, dancing girls, a large number of slaves, etc. when marching and fighting. They had to wait for the sun to come up before starting to march, otherwise it would be too cold. At dusk, they had to camp far away from the enemy because it was too cold. Black. Under their influence, how can the Persian soldiers not be affected by them. I estimate that these Persian soldiers who attacked us just arrived." Cleithops analyzed seriously.

Davos understood. He originally thought that the mercenary team was bloated enough, but he did not expect that the Persians were even worse.He thought for a while and then said: "If the Persians divide these light infantry into several teams, hide them in the rear, flanks and front of our army in the mountains and forests, and launch attacks one after another, will the effect be better?"

Cerry Thorpes frowned and asked, "You mean..."

"Just like what happened just now, the Persians on the mountains in front launched an attack. When we drove them away and thought it was safe, the Persians launched another attack in the rear...and then...this not only caused more losses to our army, but also forced us to go back and forth. Running around, spreading out our troops, and taking every step forward carefully, will greatly slow down the march of our army.”

Cleethorpes looked at him in surprise: "You usually think about this..."

It was rare for Davos to see such an obvious expression on Cleethorpes' face, and he said with some embarrassment: "Because I lack experience, I have to study more and think more..."

Chrysops returned to his serious and rigid face: "This is indeed a good method, but it cannot be used by just anyone, because to complete such tactics requires the courage, training, and general abilities of the soldiers. They are all relatively high, do you think this Persian army can do it?”

Davos shook his head.

Chrysops looked at him deeply and said, "Let's discuss any ideas we have in the future." After that, he strode away.

.......................................

One Persian attack caused more than 1000 mercenary casualties, more than half of which were non-combatants.

The number of casualties in the Davers barracks reached more than 150, and most of the pack animals were also shot and wounded. Therefore, nearly half of the soldiers had to be ordered to help in the baggage camp, carrying supplies and supporting the wounded.

Affected by this, the entire mercenary force moved more slowly than before, but the vanguard force made smooth progress. Because Xenophon led his troops to quickly detour through the mountains, the Persians were very scrupulous and were afraid of being flanked from both sides, so they did not dare to After blocking them from the front, the mercenaries passed through this mountainous area smoothly.

At dusk, the soldiers discovered the Persian villages ahead. What happened next was the same as before. The mercenaries looted these villages and stationed themselves there.Fortunately, they also discovered a large amount of supplies collected in these villages to provide to Tissaphernes' army. After the soldiers enjoyed the rich food, their morale was improved.And Davos's medical camp became busy again until late at night...

.......................................

Christoya was lying on her side beside Davers...

Davos said: "Helps said that you learned quickly in the medical camp and did a good job helping him manage the wounded soldiers and female slaves. The wounded soldiers listened to you and gave you a nickname. 'Persephone on Earth'."

"Davos."

"Ah."

"Do you know why those wounded soldiers listened to me?"

"I don't know." In fact, Davos knew.

"I asked Hilos to tell them, 'I am your woman!' Now that you have a high prestige among the mercenaries, they will be wary. I also asked Helps to give it to a wounded soldier who tried to violate me. After the final treatment, his whining did not stop until night. I think this also gave them a good warning!...Davos...do you think I..." Christoya looked at On the top of the tent, whispering.

"You did a good job, better than I thought!" Davos sniffed her blond hair and said: "Hilos can't stay in the medical camp all the time. Helps is focused on improving his medical skills. I want you to come Manage the medical camp.”

"What did you say?! Let me manage the medical camp?!" Kristoya's surprised eyes were filled with a hint of surprise.

"Didn't you say before that your father is busy with political affairs in Miletus, and you have been assisting him in managing the slaves on the farm. In the past few days, your performance in the medical camp also shows that you are fully capable of managing this small team." Dai. In his previous life, Firth was accustomed to the tradition of equality between men and women, and would not keep women at home as tightly as the Greeks of this era. He did not mind women showing up, and even performed better than him: "Of course, Helps is still As a medical officer in name only, you have to take other people's opinions into consideration, but you are actually responsible for management. I will talk to Helps in a moment."

"Davos!" Crystal hugged him tightly and said excitedly, "It's great that I'm following you!"

"Don't get excited, you still have a mission. Try to get the doctors from other military camps who come to the medical camp to help voluntarily stay, as well as the wounded soldiers." Davos patted her back and said.

"Yes, leader!" Christoya smiled and saluted, and after putting on Heaton, she said: "Davos, I can understand that you want to expand the medical camp, because the medical camp is really short of manpower now. But why should we persuade those wounded soldiers to stay?"

Of course Davos couldn't say: he had a strong sense of insecurity when he came to this strange world, so the more soldiers he commanded, the more he could dispel the uneasiness in his heart.Facing Christoya's curious gaze, he revealed a hint of his true intention: "There is still a long way home, and I don't know how difficult it will be. The soldiers are led by others, so it is better to lead them yourself. This is safer. It can also give full play to their abilities!”

After hearing this, Christoya looked at Davos's young face and was stunned: this is an ambitious and confident man.In a daze, his face overlapped with that of little Cyrus, which made Christoya feel a little scared. She stepped forward and grabbed Davos's hand tightly.

　Thank you Martian Wang for the reward, and congratulations on becoming the first disciple of this book!Since it is an ancient Greek novel, the naming of fans should have ancient Greek characteristics.
