Chapter 47 (1/2)

”Good idea, but I don't think the Persians have the courage to stay and attack us” Said Xanthicles regretfully

”Yeah, the Persians are timid like rabbits” Tiry and helpless

”Let me lead the soldiers to bypass the mountain!” Xenophon took the initiative to request for the war task

Hieronyht of Xenophon's reckless dispatch of troops which resulted in e to the soldiers

”I think Xenophon can do it!” Davos ireed

”We have no time to delay, we ht in the ht!” Cleanor looked up at the weather and said anxiously

Hence, Xenophon's request was quickly approved, and the leaders went back to reorganize their troops

Davos lag behind, as if thinking of so

When Cheirisophus saw it, he couldn't help but stopped and asked, ”What does leader Davos thinking?”

Davos was slightly surprised to see the normally reticent Cheirisophus who rarely took the initiative and asked hi…um…fortunately, the Persians didn't build a defensive camp on the mountains, otherould lose a lot”

”You overestih the Persian cavalry and archersspeed is much slower than ours These Persian nobles, led by Tissaphernes, doesn't have the strength of us Greeks to endure hardshi+p, they nificent tents, beautiful concubines, dancers, and a large number of slaves and so on Everyday, they must wait for the sun to come out before they depart , otherwise it will be too cold, and they must stay away from the enemy camp at dusk, because it will be too dark Under their influence, how could the Persian soldiers not be influenced by them?

”Just like back then, the Persians will launch an attack on the mountain ahead, and e drove them away and think that we are safe, the Persians will launch an attack in the rear…and then…this will not only cause more casualties on our troops, but also force us to run back and forth, dispersing our forces, ill then need to be careful on every step forward, thus greatly slon ourspeed”

Cheirisophus looked at his all this time…”

It's very rare for Davos to see such expression on Cheirisophus' face, and said it with some embarrassment, ”Because I lack experience, so I need to study and think id face, ”It's indeed a good method However, not anyone can use it, because it requires a lot of courage, training and the ability of the strategos to complete such tactics Do you think the Persian army can do it?”

Davos shook his head

Cheirisophus gave hilance and said, ”If you have any ideas later, then we can discuss it together” After that, he strode away
