Reversing Greek Mythology

Chapter 214 Attack is the best defense

If it were Pelias, the father of Acastus and Alcestis, he might cherish his daughter and not be willing to give Alcestis to Luo Yin as a reward.

But Acastus was only Alcestis' brother.

In order to save his throne and family, since Acastus can marry his young and beautiful sister to Admetus, who is about forty years old, of course he can also give Alcestis to Luo Yin.

So after a moment of silence, Acastus forced a smile and said.

"I have no choice now. As long as you can help me defeat Peleus, you can take away my sister Alcestis."

"Then I wish us a happy cooperation!"

The cooperation between the two was reached, and Acastus immediately ordered the palace maid to prepare a sumptuous banquet.

Peleus attacked the city of Iolkas. In the myth, Peleus took the long-dead Yin Asong and other unrelated heroes. A few people conquered the largest city-state in Thessaly. The city of Iolkas.

But reality is not an exaggerated myth after all, and heroes who have died long ago and unrelated heroes will not appear in this war.

In order to conquer the city of Iolkas, Peleus not only brought a large number of soldiers from the Phthian kingdom he ruled, but also borrowed thousands of Lapithian cavalry from his grandfather Chiron.

Now Peleus's army is stationed outside the city of Iolkas, and Acastus can only hide inside the strong city walls.

If this situation continues, not only will there be no reinforcements to help the city of Iolkas, but even the residents of the city of Iolkas will be in turmoil because food is becoming less and less day by day.

The day after Luo Yin arrived in the city of Iolkas, he asked Acastus to take the initiative to go out to fight in the city.

Palace hall.

Acastus, who was sitting face to face with Luo Yin at a round table enjoying breakfast, immediately objected when he heard Luo Yin's suggestion.

"Dear Haemon, I know you are a powerful young hero, but after all, you are not an immortal god, and you cannot defeat the Lapithian cavalry with your own strength. Now our best The choice is to defend, and when Peleus’s army runs out of food and supplies, the crisis in Iolcus will be over.”

Looking at Acastus, who was bent on delaying time with defense, Luo Yin said expressionlessly.

"Acastus, haven't you ever thought that the city of Iolkas is now facing a more serious food problem. Or for you, as long as you can delay Peleus's army until they run out of food, even if Iolkas is Is it okay for people to starve to death or even eat people in the city of Erkas? I am your reinforcements, not your subordinates. If you do not agree with my proposal, I will take my three hundred soldiers out of the city to fight and will not let them. Your soldiers follow me out of the city."

Acastus nodded and said.

"You southerners don't understand how terrifying cavalry is on the Great Plains. After you fight the La Pitai cavalry, you will know that defense is the most correct choice."

"Ah--"

After hearing what Acastus said, Luo Yin couldn't help but sneer.

Of course Luo Yin knew that the cavalry, which had the highest mobility in the Great Plains of Thessaly, was not something that the infantry could fight against.

This is also the reason why the Greeks conquered many areas, but never dared to set foot in the nearby Thracian region to fight the nomads on horseback. They could only treat the nomads in the Thracian region with fear and inferiority complex. The people are called barbarians.

"Acastus! There are gods in our world. As the king of Thebes, I am protected by two ancient and powerful goddesses. Under the protection of the goddesses, let alone thousands of infantry, even Thousands of cavalry cannot defeat me. Keep your eyes open and wait to see how I defeat Peleus's Lapith cavalry."

After the meal time, Luo Yin took his three hundred soldiers out of the city to fight. Acastus also came to the city wall to observe the battle situation, ready to rescue Luo Yin at any time if the battle failed.

The plain outside the city of Iolkas.

Peleus's camp contained two thousand infantry and a thousand cavalry.

Upon learning that Luo Yin was leaving the city with 300 soldiers, Peleus immediately ordered 500 cavalry to destroy the enemy and demoralize the defenders of Iolcus.

Under the leadership of Luo Yin, three hundred Theban soldiers approached Peleus's camp step by step.

Seeing the five hundred cavalry coming out of Peleus's camp, the Theban soldiers all had uneasy expressions on their faces.

After all, these soldiers are not fools, and they also know that under normal circumstances, even if the infantry has a tenfold numerical advantage, it will be difficult to defeat the cavalry that comes and go like the wind.

Just when five hundred cavalry were rushing towards them, about to launch a one-sided killing of Luo Yin's three hundred soldiers, Luo Yin summoned the divine spear with his right hand, and then pointed the blade of the divine spear at the sun in the sky.

The next moment!

The blade of the divine spear burst out with dazzling light and shined at the five hundred cavalrymen.

Although the cavalry on horseback closed their eyes in time, their horses were temporarily blinded and all fell into chaos.

The horses in front stopped running instinctively, and the horses behind bumped into them without knowing it. The horses and cavalry all fell to the ground on their backs.

This situation was like a domino effect, and eventually half of the horses and cavalry were injured.

After the dazzling light from the divine spear blade disappeared, Luo Yin turned around and ordered to his Theban soldiers.

"Why are you still in a daze? Hurry up and kill your enemies, and then grab their horses."

The Theban soldiers came to their senses and rushed over to kill the resisting enemies, seize the surrendered prisoners, and control all the injured and uninjured horses.

Acastus on the city wall widened his eyes when he saw this scene and murmured in disbelief.

"Did a miracle happen just now? But the two patron goddesses in Thebes are not sun gods..."

In the camp of Peleus.

Peleus was shocked and angry when he heard the news. He couldn't believe that Luo Yin defeated his 500 cavalry with 300 infantry.

In fact, the number of soldiers in the city of Iolkas far exceeded that of Peleus.

If Peleus had only two thousand infantry, attacking the city of Iolcus would be like throwing an egg against a stone.

Even if Peleus had four thousand infantry, it would be difficult to change the strength gap between the two sides.

Peleus' greatest reliance on conquering the city of Iolcus was the thousand cavalry borrowed from Chiron.

Now Luo Yin asked Peleus to lose half of his cavalry, and Peleus immediately wanted to retreat.

After all, the loss of five hundred cavalry has made it difficult for Peleus to face the wrath of his grandfather Chiron. If the losses continue to increase, the blood relationship between Peleus and Chiron will definitely be broken.

"The captured cavalry can be discarded, but the precious horses must be snatched back. As long as the horses are snatched back, I can win my grandfather's forgiveness."

After Peleus made a decision in his mind, he immediately left the military camp with two thousand infantry, preparing to snatch back his horses.

Because he did not dare to lose any more precious cavalry, Peleus let the remaining 500 cavalry stay in the military camp.

On the battlefield between the city of Iolcus and Peleus's camp.

Luo Yin's Theban soldiers killed more than 300 cavalry, and after making the remaining more than 100 cavalry completely frightened and turned into prisoners, they began to capture the horses.

Seeing Peleus rushing out of the military camp with his infantry, Luo Yin went up to him alone.
