Summoning Total War
Chapter 12
In the age of cold weapons, once the formation of infantry is dispersed.
Before the iron age, the greatest role of cavalry was to disrupt the formation of infantry from the side and rear. As long as the formation is in disorder, the soldiers will turn into headless flies, eventually leading to a great collapse.
In the Roman era, which was in the transition from bronze age to iron age, the cavalry mainly used harassment tactics. It was not until the middle ages that the heavy cavalry like iron cans came to the stage of history that the cavalry could really confront the heavy infantry! Then, from the Mongolian light cavalry sweeping the world, to the end of the Mongolian cavalry in the hands of the Ming Dynasty infantry coalition.
In the age of cold weapons, the mode of operation of cavalry was basically over.
In the total war of Rome, there are few cavalry who can fight with the heavy infantry except the eastern cavalry and the Egyptian chariot.
On the propulsion of heavy infantry, the whole Roman era, when the Greek spear square first!
The progress of civilization in this world is still quite primitive. As far as Murphy knows now, human beings have just entered the city-state era, while their rivals, the jackals, are moving forward from blood clan to tribal system.
There may be a gap in biological strength, but in terms of civilization progress, the Greek infantry has been completely repressive!
So the Jackal''s charge soon came to an abrupt end!
Because they soon found that no matter how they sprint, they can''t shake the infantry square!
The tacit cooperation and the advantage of the attack length of the long spear square array make these jackals, who are equipped with simple weapons and don''t even have a piece of complete leather armor, fall down one by one before they get close. The 2.5-meter-long gun can hit the jackals before they get close, while a shield can easily block their claw attack.
The Jackal who has been restrained is like a duck who has been strangled by the neck, but the struggle is useless. When the Spartan heavy infantry came up from behind, the rest was just a massacre!
"At best, it''s just a mob with fighting talent." Murphy watched the jackals who were trapped under a long gun and killed one by one in vain. For the first time, Murphy despised these alien creatures.
Jackals are fast and powerful.
But so what?
With claws alone, you can attack Greek infantry three meters away?
The maximum attack distance of the long gun is about three meters. The length of the long gun plus the length of the arm is their maximum attack range. And this distance, for jackals, is a gap between life and death, no matter how many corpses they use to fill.
If the jackal is in the peak state, it may be able to use the corpse to rush into the long spear square and fight close to each other, but these jackals who have fallen into Murphy''s calculation and whose strength has been weakened layer by layer are not likely to do so.
The Spartan heavy infantry pushed forward slowly, further reducing the scope of the Jackal''s activities. A team and a half of Greek infantry slowly moved forward and closed the encirclement further. They were not in a hurry to kill these enemies. Because any Greek can understand that there is no possibility that the enemy will survive in this situation.
Before the encirclement closed, several lucky jackals escaped from the encirclement, but Murphy did not order the general guard to pursue them. As long as you eat these adult jackals, today is a big win.
It''s nothing to him to escape a few little fish.
I''m afraid that with this experience, even a few jackals will escape. In the face of Greek infantry, there will still be psychological shadow.
"Attack Murphy calmly looked at the wolf who was still dying, and slowly spat out two words.
"Drink!"“ Drink“ Drink
At the command of the general, the infantry marched forward with neat and heavy steps. The heavy drink was like beating the heart with a heavy drum. At this moment, the suppression of momentum has reached the peak, and the loud drinking has become the last straw to crush the Jackal''s rebellious psychology!
Some of the jackals who fell into madness launched a suicidal counterattack against the infantry square!
And the rest of the jackals knelt down and laid down their crude weapons.
When the suicidal jackals were turned into corpses, Murphy was ready to order the slaughter of all the jackals who gave up their resistance.
With a "Ding", the sound of the auxiliary system of Total War echoed in his ear.
"Ding! Capture jackal slaves, you can kill them or enslave them. "
Slaves?
Murphy''s just about to raise his hand!
In theory, as long as there is war, there will be slaves.
In the age of cold weapons, the Roman Legion was followed by a large number of slave merchants.
Yes, or no?
There was a little hesitation in Murphy''s mind.
Jackal slaves are different from human slaves. The former is dangerous, while the latter is easier to control.
However, the town is now in the most shortage of labor, since the auxiliary system prompts itself to obtain slaves. That means you have the ability to enslave them.
After a moment''s hesitation, Murphy finally ordered the jackals to be taken into custody.
As long as the shackles are made and their food supply is limited, and their physical strength is controlled at a very low point of weakness, it is theoretically possible to enslave these jackals.
Those who have not enough to eat do not have much power.
The harvest of doing so is obviously greater than the energy you pay!
Just after Murphy gave the order, an inexplicable uneasiness suddenly attacked his heart like a nightmare.
Almost at the same time, he felt the horse tremble in fear!
Very upset!
It''s like being watched by death!
It''s like dying the next moment!!!
Murphy immediately rolled off the horse and looked at the sky that had brought him fear!
He saw a black spot in the distance.
The black spot is growing fast.
Between a few breaths, the black spot turned into a giant with a wingspan of more than 25 meters!
blot out the sky and cover the sun!
This is just like the prehistoric aeolian pterosaur. It has sharp teeth and tusks. Its pupils are muddy yellow. The target it is staring at seems to be caught by death!
With a similar appearance to the previous Cretaceous aeolian pterosaur, the terrorist creatures skimmed over Murphy''s head, and the strong wind almost blew him up!
Without hesitation, he pulled out the sharp sword at his waist and thrust it into the soil.
Murphy grabbed the hilt and bent down to be careful not to be blown up by the wind.
The terror creature, whose body shape is close to pterosaur, hovers over people''s heads. Just the strong wind makes the formation of the army chaotic.
Ears rang out the whine of horses and the scream of human dying struggle!
When Murphy looked up, the giant with only the appearance of pterosaur had left.
And Murphy''s side, only a few lonely horses were scared to move.
Under the claws of the huge shadow, a jackal''s body and a human''s body are dripping with blood drop by drop
