Chapter 560 Counterattack

"Father, although Cuknos is dead, as long as Troy has me and...Paris is here, he will definitely withstand the attacks of the Greeks."

Hector always went straight to each other, and his idea was very simple. When the Greeks attacked, the defense was just that. If the Greeks were tired, they would wait for an opportunity to attack them.

There was no mistake in this idea at all. It was this idea that caused the Trojan War in history to last for ten years.

But in the end, Troy could not escape the destruction.

Priamos nodded. Hector's answer was pretty good and satisfied with the answer. He turned his head again and looked at Pei Ziyun: "Paris, what do you think?"

When Pei Ziyun answered, he knew Priamos would definitely ask him, but what he wanted was not just passive defense, so that Troy would easily fall into a passive and be completely led by the Greeks, and he hoped to take the initiative.

Hector has always been so mature and steady, and he doesn't like to do adventures, but Troy is just taking risks. If he is not careful, he may repeat the mistakes he made back then.

In this case, Hector's idea is a bit lacking.

Priamos asked him, and Pei Ziyun was about to answer when he saw many princes and elders looking at him. He knew that these people were also looking forward to his performance.

"Although I don't want to take away Hector's glory, victory is more important. I have a plan and I have to take this opportunity to implement it." Thinking of this, Pei Ziyun slowly spoke, glanced around, and said, "Have you ever thought that in the battles over the past year, except for King Cooknos, we took the initiative to attack. At other times, we have taken the initiative to attack, causing trouble to the Greeks?"

"No." Someone answered immediately.

"Yes, we, Troy, have never taken the initiative once. In fact, it has a lot to do with our subconscious thinking that we can't beat the Greeks, so we all want to use the city to defend."

"There is nothing wrong with the defense of the city, but no matter how good the defense is, there will always be a day of breakthrough."

Everyone said, "If Troy is compromised, it is unimaginable that they will all face the tragic situation of separation of their wives and children, and their families will be destroyed."

However, it appeared in the original history. The Greek coalition forces broke through Troy, except for a few people who did not move, others ended up in a very bad way, and even in history, there was no Troy again.

Pei Ziyun looked at the reaction of everyone present, knew that they had thought of the key, and smiled slightly and said, "Just defense alone is not enough, we must take the initiative."

"Father, have you ever put yourself in your shoes, what are you most worried about if we are Troy expeditioning to Greece?"

Priames was really asked by Pei Ziyun. Although he kept saying that he wanted to avenge the Greeks, he never dared to think about his idea of ​​expedition to Greece.

In this way, the troops will be hard on the expedition, not to mention whether the heroes and soldiers can survive, but whether the supplies can last for such a long time is a problem.

"Wait, supply?" Priamus suddenly reacted.

At this time, Pei Ziyun looked at the king without saying a word, thinking that Priamos would not think of it for a while, and continued to say: "Everyone, we went to Greece, but we came to fight for us from afar, and we had the idea of ​​a quick battle and a quick decision. However, our Troy walls were solid, and our citizens and heroes were also raising our strength. The Greeks fought for more than a year, but the results were not great."

Everyone praised it, it was indeed the case.

When the Greeks first came, they attacked rapidly and attacked from time to time, but they were futile in the face of Troy's solid walls. Now they are no longer as fast as before, and gradually they have a trace of fatigue.

Everyone was no longer panic as the Greeks had just arrived. They showed a hint of fatigue compared to the Greeks. Troy was a local war, and everyone was at home and was very good at rest.

As long as you wait for the opportunity, you can hit the Greeks head-on.

"We do have a military gap with the Greeks, but even the gods of Mount Olympus need to drink delicious wine to replenish their strength. Mortals need to eat even more, otherwise they do not have the energy to work, and horses need to be fed in detail, otherwise they cannot run long distances."

"Everyone, what is the key to everything? It's supply!"

Pei Ziyun dropped a bombshell, and everyone was talking about it. Although the food and grass were on the surface, many people could not see it. Now that Prince Paris pointed it out, they suddenly realized that if there were no supplies, the Greek army could not fight, and without supplies, the Greek war horses could not ride.

"The Greeks went on a hard expedition, and so many Greeks came to Troy. If there was no supply and we didn't need to attack, we would fall into civil strife."

"In the past year, the food transported from Greece has been basically consumed, and it has been looted to the nearby areas to maintain consumption."

"But there are so many Greeks, how much supply can they get even if they plunder nearby land?"

Speaking of this, everyone was shocked. They didn't think about this problem at first, but now they wake up and realize that they have missed important things.

In fact, before the Greeks attacked, Troy had already implemented a strong wall and clearing the fields. The Greeks would definitely not be able to reap much supplies to the land around Troy.

Hearing this, everyone was talking about the supply.

Some people say it was transported from Greece, some people say it was robbed from a distance, and some people say it was given by the gods.

Pei Ziyun looked at everyone's reaction and knew it was almost done. After thinking about it, he remembered that in history, in order to obtain supplies, the Greeks had organized troops to attack the kingdoms near Troy many times.

Achilles led his fleet to claim to break through twelve cities on sea and eleven cities on land.

But there is no evidence to prove that these are done. In fact, Achilles conquered three kingdoms, the Kingdom of Mississia, the Kingdom of Lürnassus, and the Kingdom of Thebes.

In the Kingdom of Mississier, Achilles obtained the beautiful daughter of Clyseis, the priest.

When he defeated Lürnassus, he forced King Bresseth to go desperately, committed suicide, and robbed Princess Blodamiya.

The island of Lesbourg and Thebes in the foothills of Pracos in Sier, were conquered, and the king Ethion and his seven sons were all killed in battle, and the queen became slaves.

Theramon's son Aes was also famous for plundering the city. He led the warships all the way to the Thrace Peninsula. King Dathras betrayed the prince whom Troy sent there to seek peace. Then Aes captured Vlikiah, killed the king Thertras, and snatched the princess Thekmesa.

Thinking of this, Pei Ziyun smiled coldly and said, "Everyone, the Greeks could not transport them from Greece for a long time in order to replenish supplies. It is inconvenient to not only talk about such a long journey. The consumption alone is a huge amount. Their city-state will definitely not agree. The only way is to attack nearby kingdoms and city-states."

As soon as they said this, everyone suddenly realized it and agreed with Paris's statement. Pei Ziyun only heard him say loudly: "Everyone, this is an opportunity, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

"Prince Paris, what kind of opportunity is it?" someone immediately couldn't help asking.

Pei Ziyun smiled slightly: "We cannot rely solely on Troy's defense. We must take the initiative to attack and send elite troops to support the kingdoms and city-states attacked by the Greeks."

"But Paris, in this case, our troops will be dispersed and we may be even less able to face the Greek attacks." An elder questioned.

"Elder Croto, your question is correct. We must grasp the movements of the Greeks and see where they went before sending corresponding troops to rescue the kingdom or city-state. Otherwise, if we don't want to divide the troops, we will definitely weaken our strength." Pei Ziyun replied.

"Think about it, in fact, many kingdoms and city-states have a wait-and-see and neutral attitude, but what would they think of the Greeks, for their own selfishness, attack and capture kingdoms and city-states, for their own selfishness, disregarding morality, and attacking and capturing kingdoms and city-states?"

"These city-states would think that the Greeks were a group of unreasonable robbers and wanted to rob their women, gold, and food." Someone answered.

"Yes, if the kingdoms and city-states were captured by the Greeks, their people would become prisoners and slaves, and their women, food, and gold would become trophys of the Greeks."

"What if the Greeks attacked but failed to break through these kingdoms and city-states?"

"In this way, these city-states will share the same hatred for the enemy and join the war against the Greeks, and work with us to deal with the Greeks." An elder responded in a timely manner.

"Yes, Elder Croto is right, they will become our allies, join our Troy camp, and work with us to deal with the Greeks."

"I promised Cuknos to lead the army to the Kingdom of Corona to take care of his son and help stop the Greeks' revenge."

"The disadvantage of our military strength can actually solve the problem of Cooknos. The Greeks will definitely retaliate against the Kingdom of Corona. I rushed to rescue and restrained some of the Greeks' forces, and could join forces with the Kingdom of Corona to fight back against the Greeks."

"In this way, we can not only gain the moral integrity of rescue allies, but also use the forces of our allies to launch a counterattack against the Greeks to make up for the disadvantages of our dispersed forces."

"And through rescue, we can gather more allies and troops, I believe that the Greeks will definitely suffer heavy losses by then."

When the person in the hall heard Pei Ziyun's in-depth analysis, he suddenly realized.

Originally, Troy's only advantage in dealing with the Greeks was the local warfare and the strong city walls. However, after hearing Pei Ziyun's analysis, he found that there were still many ways to deal with the Greeks.

I had never thought about this method before, but now I have come up with a refreshing feeling, and the prince and the elder both started to discuss it enthusiastically.

Even the king's son-in-law, Criusa's husband, goddess Aphrodite and Ankasses' son Aneaz also cast admirational eyes and thought to himself: "Although Prince Paris's force may not be as good as Hector, his wisdom is ten times better than Hector. No wonder my mother Aphrodite likes Prince Paris."

"It seems that Prince Paris is more suitable to be a king than Hector!"
