The fire frightened all the jackals.
As a half beast of humanoid creatures, jackals can use fire, but most of the time they live a life of drinking blood.
The technology of using fire is in the hands of the Jackal shaman. Because of this, the old jackal Shaman is no less important than the leader of the group. In general, the Jackal clan will have a cooked meal at a sacrifice or an important ceremony. Other times, because it''s not easy to make a fire, most of the people eat raw meat directly. If there is no Shaman''s jackal clan, it can only live a wild life.
Jackals have thick hair, especially below the neck and above the waist.
Basically, just a little spark can burn a piece.
Humans are less afraid of fire than jackals. After all, after entering the era of civilization, human beings are very familiar with the use and mastery of flame. In addition, all urban residents are concentrated in the central square, surrounded by an open space, there is no need to worry about being burned. Under such a check, the momentum of human beings is more powerful than that of those jackals.
The fire and smoke make the Jackal''s fighting spirit fade, but the desire for flesh and blood and the importance of territory make them unwilling to retreat.
The preservation of territory by living things is innate.
It''s like the beast will attack and expel all the creatures that invade their territory unless they are invincible.
The jackals drove humans out of this land. So naturally, they divided the land into their own territory!
The following year''s life made them think that the land belonged to them in essence. As for Murphy, who later built a town here, he was their enemy!
It''s an intruder!
These humans want to take back the territory that now belongs to them!
That''s why the jackals are gathering to attack Murphy.
If it''s just for food, it''s easy to find enough food in the early spring. As a humanoid race, jackals are not so ignorant that they will attack Murphy''s territory at all costs just for food. The reason why jackals attack Murphy is that they don''t want to give human beings the chance to survive and grow in this land!
The number of jackals is about 3800, of which nearly 1000 are the most powerful adult males, while the rest are females and semi adults. The number of Murphy''s army is about 800, and the number of adult males left to fight in the territory is about 1000. The total number is 1800, only half of the number of jackals. So when jackals surround them in the square, they are almost all around!
The sudden fire caused a slight disturbance to the Jackal.
And the sky fire also lights up the vision around!
"Javelin, throw!"
"Infantry, advance!"
Murphy clearly grasped the disturbance. He stood on the steps of the square and calmly gave orders. He was surrounded by about half a squadron of Spartan heavy infantry, wary of arrows that might come from the dark.
The eight infantry squares laid a defense net of about 240 degrees in front, while the auxiliary regiments relied on the six meter high wall of the temple to fight, so as to avoid being attacked by the enemy. Creating a combat environment that is spacious for the enemy but can''t let go of the enemy''s hands and feet makes the enemy''s advantage in number become a burden. This is what Murphy has been calculating. Make these advantages out, then the rest is to fight head-on!
The Greek infantry rushed forward, pushing forward the originally tight line of defense, which suddenly opened the gap in the center.
About 500 standard shooters, at the command of Hammerton, fired high-density shots at the jackals gathered in the West! There are a large number of adult male jackals, which will be the biggest problem for Greek infantry if they rush into battle. So the first time is to use long-range strike to solve them all!
In the face of the roaring javelin, the male jackals, as the leading force, have no way to dodge! Behind them are large troops coming. Because of the limited space in the streets, it is difficult for them to use their original skills to avoid these javelins. The houses on both sides of the street are piled with a large number of hay. After the battle really started, the processed hay has been ignited!
"Kill!"
Step forward, in the distance with the Jackal to close to about 10 meters, the Greek infantry in a gun array launched a charge!
The military quality of Greek infantry did not reach the level of Spartan heavy infantry, so their maximum distance charge was only 10 meters. Once the distance is exceeded, the formation will be confused.
Ten meter charge, deducting the long gun length and arm attack distance bonus, the real distance used to run is only seven meters, according to 0.5 meter step to calculate, then this short distance charge is a total of 14 steps!
Fourteen steps, that''s enough!
This distance has been able to give the Greek infantry the power that inertia exerts on them when they charge!
The 14 step charge turns the attack that can only pierce into the Jackal''s body into piercing damage! The strongest soldier in front of the square even penetrated the Jackal''s body with a long gun and stabbed the enemy behind the target''s body!
A little change has taken place in the traditional way of fighting.
This change is the product of Murphy''s improvement! It also improves the explosive power of the square array!
After the first strong charge, dozens of jackals were shot through their bodies and lost their fighting power instantly.
And at this time, it is where the original long spear square array short ribs are.
If the long gun hits the enemy, it will take time to pull it out. And on the real battlefield, the long gun will be stuck by the bones in the human body!
If you don''t have the fighting power far beyond the ordinary people in the story, you need more strength to pull out the long gun than to stab into the enemy''s body! Because the gun head is an inverted triangle, if it is inserted into the ribs, it is easy to be stuck by the ribs. At that time, if you want to pull it out, you have to break the enemy''s ribs and tear off a piece of flesh!
If the spear penetrates the enemy''s body because of its strength, you can imagine a spear head piercing through the stomach and then out of the back. An inverted triangle is stuck on the flesh and blood of the back! People''s muscles will shrink automatically after being injured. In this way, it takes more strength and time to pull out the long gun.
In this period of time, it is enough for the enemy of the second row to rush up and shorten the distance with you.
Once the long gun array is shortened, the length of the weapon will become a burden!
The Western spear does not have as many moves as the East.
There''s only one move for Western Gunners!
Thorn!
Straight ahead!
90 degrees! Thorn!
This is the only way to stab, stab the enemy, pull out and stab again!
If you are close to the enemy, put down the long gun, pull out the short sword, block it with the round shield, close to the enemy, the short sword will pierce the enemy''s body from the gap under the round shield!
In fact, before the long gun was pulled out, it was the weakest time for the Gunners.
Murphy''s reform is only one point!
After the spearmen in the first row stabbed out the spear, they immediately threw away the spear, raised the shield in front of them, and then squatted down!
Next!
The Gunners in the second row yelled, and the long gun stabbed out from the gap in the first row!
Dozens of adult male jackals were stabbed to the ground.
At this time, the second row of gunners began to draw their guns, while the Greek infantry who squatted down in front of the first row stood up. If you look closely, you will find that the shield of the first line of Greek infantry is bigger than that of the back, and their weapon is not dagger, but long sword!
These few breathing things, the second wave of Javelin also threw out!
Suddenly, many jackals were pierced by javelin, while the jackals in front were almost nailed to the ground.
But in just two or three minutes, nearly three or four hundred adult male jackals have been injured, and most of them have lost their fighting power.
This series of attacks will be in front of the Jackal hit on the spot!
But the Jackal leader in the rear saw everything clearly. He did not care to reveal his position, and a series of wolf howls came out of his mouth, ordering the male jackals in the front row to retreat, and ordering the jackals in the rear to hold down. Then, the 3-meter-high jackal leader roared, and the Jackal standing in front of him suddenly separated to both sides, leaving a 10 meter wide passage.
After entering the town, the successive attacks have made the Jackal leader with certain wisdom understand that it is difficult for adult male jackals to break through these human lines.
As a member of the kazat tribe, a high jackal who has experienced wars with humans!
Zamos finally decided to rely on his own pro guard forces to break through these damned human squares!
Yes, among the jackals, there are more people who call themselves "high jackals".
"Boom! Boom! Boom! "
The sound of the earthshaking footsteps sounded, and the faces of the human soldiers in front of them all showed the expression of panic!
With the shaking of the earth, a group of elite jackal guards with an average height of more than 2.5 meters and dressed in modified body armor came out!
Walking in the front of the line is a giant jackal who is three meters tall, full of green tendons and muscles, and also wearing half armor!
Three meters!
That means you can climb up to the second floor with your hands up!
"No! I didn''t expect jackals to have such an elite force Murphy''s heart thumped, and suddenly felt a bad feeling.
These jackals, much bigger than their peers, were dressed in body armor, and basically held more than 50 pounds of heavy weapons in their hands. The half body armor is obviously transformed from the human armor. Although it''s nondescript, its defense is not weak at all! Just looking at these little giants makes everyone feel a bit of pressure!
Never let them rush!
This is Murphy''s first feeling!
If you let these jackals rush into this battle, then the Greek spear square will be tangled by them! At that time, I couldn''t go back to heaven!
The only thing to be thankful for is that the number of these elite jackals is not very large, only more than 20 people.
to be sonorous!
Murphy pointed his sword at the elite jackal guards who were marching forward. He looked at the Spartan heavy infantry around him and roared, "Sparta
At this time, he can only put all his hope on the Spartan heavy infantry! At that time, one of the most elite fighters on earth!!!
"Sparta!"
When these three words sounded, the whole battlefield was filled with a frenetic atmosphere!
As if these three words with boundless courage and strength!
The front of the Greek infantry square has automatically separated a passage!
Then, the Spartan heavy infantry, dressed only in a blood red cloak, strode out of the square. Their faces were resolute, and they came to the front of the group of jackals who were far stronger than them with neat and heavy steps.
The spear stands in awe, the bronze shield reflects the golden brilliance under the fire light, and the bright red cape is like the blood and glory on the battlefield!
The Spartan heavy infantry faced these more powerful and powerful jackals.
Hold up your gun!
Push forward without hesitation!!!
Because they know that they are the most powerful fighters of Greek city states! Facing such enemies, only they can win!
Behind them are the city-state civilians, they have no choice! They can only move forward, even in the face of death!
Because of this moment!
They represent the courage of the whole Greek civilization!
A solemn and stirring atmosphere suddenly appeared on the battlefield. Even Marquis Elizabeth, who was an outsider beside Murphy, felt his eyes slightly moist, and seemed to be shocked by the courage of these soldiers!
At this time, unexpected things happened!
New general Hamilton, Murphy''s first general, got off his horse, picked up his shield and spear and stood with the Spartan heavy infantry!
This has a resolute face, as if born with the power of the general!
He looked at the Spartan heavy infantry around him and murmured word by word!
——"Sparta does not ask how many enemies there are, only where they are!"
"Sparta
"Sparta!"
"Sparta!"
In the roar of the sky, Murphy heard a system prompt sound.
"Spartan heavy infantry in frenzy!"
"Greek infantry in frenzy!"
