Around five in the morning.
At the end of autumn, the days are long and the nights are short, and the days are long and the days are short. So at five o''clock, the sky is still dark.
It was half an hour later than the scheduled time when general riodary arrived at the canyon connecting the zangara and karazan mountains because he was in a hurry for the night. The main reason is that it''s hard to walk at night. Although all the soldiers are elite, it''s hard to avoid delaying the speed of the army.
"General, five hundred meters ahead is the Jackal''s camp." It was dark, and suddenly a vigorous man came out of the dense vegetation. He quickly came to general riodari and said.
In plain areas, the task of investigation is mainly assigned to the light cavalry, and such investigations are mostly carried out by the soldiers of the general guard.
They are all elite selected from the army, far better than ordinary soldiers.
Scouts are generally incorporated into the general guard.
"How many enemies? Are there any sentries General riodari looked up at the sky and said in a deep voice.
"The number of enemies is not clear, but not more than 600. There are no sentinels, but there are a dozen jackals outside the camp The soldiers in charge of the investigation should speak out.
Here we have to mention the life habits of jackals.
Jackals are creatures that don''t sleep in bed like humans do. Most of them sleep on the ground, just like wild animals. At most, the fur is spread on the ground. One advantage of sleeping on the ground is that if there is a little big noise on the ground, you can hear it immediately. Especially in the face of cavalry, basically the sound of horseshoe running can be heard.
Jackals have a certain night vision ability, but they are not the one that can see clearly at night.
To the greatest extent, it is only in the dark environment that we can see farther than human beings. In terms of night vision ability, the dog head who likes to make holes is still above the Jackal. However, due to its night vision ability, the Jackal''s camp rarely sets up sentries. This species, which is transforming into an intelligent race, still retains quite a lot of beast instinct. It''s the same way of doing things.
"Crete Bowman! Ready. " General riodari rode to the front of the chief priest of the war temple, leaned slightly and said, "your honor. These jackals outside are up to you. "
The priests in the temple of war are not only excellent soldiers, but also good potential assassins.
Because the war temple is also responsible for training spies and assassins!
Who are the Spartan conquerors with Murphy? Now they want to get rid of these jackals. It''s still up to these war Temple priests. In these professional skills, ordinary soldiers obviously did not reach this height.
The strong, dark, iron tower like chief priest of the war Temple nodded and gave orders behind him. Then the three priests in black cloaks came out.
General riodari waved to a small group of elite Crete bowmen to follow.
A small group of pioneers were hidden in a forest 300 miles away from the Jackal. And the three ares priests with a small team of archery skilful Crete longbowmen quietly touch in.
The jackals don''t live in the canyon. Their camp is outside the canyon near the zangara mountains.
The width of the canyon is about 500 meters and the length is about one kilometer. There are cliffs on both sides.
Zangara mountains, karazan mountains, look at the name, you can see the connection between them.
It is said that in the first era, the two mountains were connected.
In the first era of legend, it is said that the battle of a certain clock creature led to the breaking of a kilometer long crack in the linked mountains.
No fortifications were built in the canyon, because in front of the canyon is a city of important human defense.
I just didn''t expect the Jackal to break through so fast.
In the initial battle, the human army was almost destroyed by the attack of the Jackal army.
The black cloak covers the whole body, and the Ares priests quietly approach the Jackal camp from the side. As they approached the camp about 100 meters away, they began to speed up and get closer than previous sprinters!
Fifty meters.
Thirty meters.
Ten meters.
The God of war priest pulled out his double knives behind his back, jumped up and climbed over the three meter high fence of the Jackal camp with one hand.
Shua!
With neat movements, the three God of war priests danced with double knives and almost killed the jackals outside the camp in the blink of an eye!
Twelve jackals.
In less than six seconds, he was chopped by the God of war priest!
They can''t even howl to wake up their companions, but just react, a sharp blade has cut their throat.
Hidden in the woods, Crete Bowman has little room to play.
As soon as they took the bow and took aim, they found that all the targets had been cleared.
The leader of Crete''s Bowman issued a Nightingale''s cry, while the general riodary not far away got the message and directed the Greek heavy infantry to spread out and approach the Jackal camp in a semi encirclement.
Three hundred meters.
Two hundred meters.
At a distance of nearly 150 meters, the footsteps of the army were finally detected by some jackals.
They stood up alert, took up arms and looked around.
At this time, hidden in the woods, Crete''s Bowman also began to get angry.
One hundred meters, within the most powerful distance of the longbow.
Although the night affected the vision of Crete''s Bowman, the burning campfire in the camp showed them where the enemy was.
Shuttle, shuttle!
A rocket with strong penetrating power is launched.
The jackals who were hit were almost shot through!
At this time, the Jackal panic. They howl to remind others that they are still sleeping. And a part of jackals are lying on the ground, looking for armor in a hurry. In the battle with humans, these adult jackals, as the main force, obtained a number of body armor and weapons. But as a kind of close to intelligent creatures, jackals will take off their armor when they sleep.
Few intelligent creatures sleep in armor every day.
By the time the chaotic jackal camps were assembled, general riodari had led the Greek heavy infantry to encircle them.
About 50 meters from the Jackal camp, the Greek heavy infantry formed a square array.
But unlike the way they fought in the past, this time the infantry did not start to move forward.
Three teams of 240 Cricht bowmen gathered in front of the infantry square. They arched and killed one jackal after another.
Those jackals who want to rush out of the encirclement wearing half body armor are shocked to find that their half body armor has no effect at all, just like paper under the powerful penetrating arrows of the enemy.
After about one or two hundred jackals were shot, they finally learned.
The jackals hid behind the bunkers and stopped coming up.
"Push! There''s no one left alive General riodari showed a bloodthirsty smile and said in a deep voice to the herald around him.
Greek infantry with Crete archers is truly invincible!
"Kill
The Greek heavy infantry marched forward in neat steps and lifted the crude wooden fence in the eyes of the Jackal''s trembling fear.
It''s not a fight.
It''s a massacre.
