It took less than five minutes from the treatment of the wounded to the repair of the still undead jackals.

    Five minutes later, the Greek infantrymen who had finished cleaning up the battlefield continued to chase the fleeing adult jackals, while some of the soldiers who were seriously injured and would affect the next battle drove the spoils to the Greek towns.

    Jackals don''t like shiny things, but they have a habit of collecting metals. Because they don''t know how to forge metal. The jackals who move alone will eat all the food they can get, but the jackals who live in groups will surround and domesticate the cubs of the captured animals. Most of the Jackal clans lived a hunting life. Their food source was to capture wild animals and plunder other intelligent life.

    These creatures, which are close to humanoid beasts, are also one of the few species on the mainland that will feed on other intelligent life.

    In the mouth of the world''s indigenous people, they are called humanoids.

    It is not included in the scope of intelligent life.

    Cleaning up the battlefield is what auxiliary soldiers and miscellaneous soldiers should do, but because Murphy has not yet established an auxiliary army, the Greek infantry still have to deal with the task of cleaning up the battlefield.

    In the cold war, a regular Legion is often followed by a large number of auxiliary soldiers and miscellaneous troops, and even slave merchants!

    It''s like a knight needs one or two knights. Similarly, a regular Legion also needs several auxiliary regiments to clean up the battlefield.

    The fighting habits of Greek city states are generally that the long-range arms are used as auxiliary soldiers. They harass and attack in the battle, pursue and harvest corpses after the enemy is defeated by the spear square array.

    Because of the time constraint, the only thing Murphy can do as an auxiliary Corps is his general guard.

    At this point, I have to envy Rome.

    Because the Roman javelin is recognized as the best auxiliary arms.

    After dealing with the wounded, the Spartan heavy infantry began to pursue. These strong soldiers were full of strength and endurance. By the time Murphy led the general''s guard to the valley, these Spartan heavy infantry had caught up with the scattered adult jackals.

    They scattered the formation and drove the Jackal to the predetermined direction of Murphy. These Spartan heavy infantry did not follow closely. In order to prevent the Jackal from fighting back in despair, they only accelerated their charge every other section of the road and killed the Jackal who fell behind. It''s a 15 kilometer run. At the terminal, a half team of Greek infantry will harvest them.

    As we all know, if a person jogs ten kilometers, he will not consume much physical strength. But if he runs fast for five kilometers, I''m afraid he won''t have the strength to continue running soon.

    That''s what Murphy wants.

    Drive out the jackals, let them run, and finally harvest them when they are exhausted!

    These humanoid beasts have a lot of power. If they are forced too hard, they will probably have a lot of casualties under their deathbed counterattack.

    The way of military cutting is right and strange.

    Murphy didn''t think of such a clever plan, so he had to deal with the jackals in a dignified way.

    Within 50 miles of Athens, the terrain is relatively flat, and there are no dense woods around it. Murphy has calculated the escape route of the jackals in advance. It''s about 15 kilometers from the start of the Jackal camp to the end of a branch of the river nidoria. It''s not a short journey, let alone a jackal. Even the cavalry can''t bear to gallop 15 kilometers!

    Spartan heavy infantry have excellent endurance, so the key point of driving out jackals is for them.

    As long as another half team of general guards is deployed to kill the jackals who escape separately, the goal of driving them to the edge of the river can be perfectly achieved.

    The Greek infantrymen, who finished the battle, opened the square and formed a bigger encirclement outside the Spartan heavy infantry. Their role was not to kill the jackals, but to put pressure on them! An illusion!

    It is an illusion that the enemy is on the left, right and rear sides except the front.

    In this way, the plan to drive the jackals to their destination can be completed.

    The art of War: "focus on the overall situation, focus on details!"

    That''s what Murphy learned when he first commanded the army.

    The overall situation is to create an environment in which we can fight fatigue with ease, while the details are to take all variables into account and figure out the remedy.

    If more than 300 adult jackals are forced to encircle and kill, they may have to pay more than a quarter of the casualties themselves!

    This is a big defeat for Murphy, who is short of population and troops!

    His purpose is very simple. To pull out this jackal camp, the maximum number of casualties can only reach 20. Beyond this value, the loss is greater than the harvest.

    There are plenty of jackals in the wild, but his town has a population of just over 2000.

    He can''t afford to fight for his head!

    The advantages of light cavalry are endurance and speed.

    Of course, this endurance refers to the endurance of running, because the horses of the light cavalry are not very good. When they are used in close combat, their endurance is very poor.

    Especially the Greek city states with extremely weak cavalry!

    The speed of four legs can''t be conquered by two legs. When Murphy arrived at the valley and calmly arranged the front line, the adult jackal appeared in the West.

    Most of the remaining jackals were males and strong enough females, and those who were not strong enough were basically left behind and harvested by the Spartan heavy infantry.

    "Open up! General guard, javelin throw Murphy stood behind the square, calmly directing the battle.

    Although there was a man''s desire to fight to kill the jackals, Murphy tried to restrain himself. Although he came to this world, his body is far stronger than in the past, but it is not enough.

    There is an old saying: "a son of gold, don''t sit in a vertical hall."!

    As the commander in chief of the first army, it is obviously not a wise way to kill the enemy in person.

    So Murphy told himself rationally that what he should do is to command the army to boost morale, not to attack.

    The first round javelin brought despair to the jackals who had been driven for 15 kilometers.

    They are desperate to find that there are enemies in front of them.

    They''re completely surrounded!

    What''s more tragic is that running for 15 kilometers has consumed most of their physical strength. Even if they have a lot better endurance than ordinary adult men, they don''t have much fighting power now.

    But soon, there was hope in their eyes.

    Because they see a smooth river!

    As long as you can cross the front line and jump into the river, you will be able to escape from the sky.

    Jackals have good water quality, and the river behind them is the last trap left by Murphy!

    The infantry were obviously unable to pursue the enemy who had jumped into the river.

    Even the Jackal knows this simple question.

    As long as you jump into the river, you can escape from Shengtian no matter you swim downstream or to the other side. Because it is impossible for the enemy to throw away their weapons and armor and jump into the river to pursue them.

    Looking at the Jackal who rushed to the front defense net after a riot, Murphy finally showed a smile.

    Because he knew it was over.

    It''s impossible for the exhausted jackals with simple equipment to attack the Greek spear square!

    In the age of cold weapons, the long spear square array and the super long spear square array in the Greek world could almost be said to be the existence of standing up in front. Even the Roman Legion in the later period defeated the super long spear square array of Macedonian in the hilly area.

    The southern plain.

    In plain areas, the thrust of the Greek spear square can absolutely numb people''s scalp!
