The battle lasted less than 15 minutes. The jackals, surrounded by Greek heavy infantry, tried to break through, but they were hanged mercilessly one by one. These jackals are better equipped and more effective than the scattered clan jackals. However, they are now facing a comprehensive update of equipment, known as "total war" cost-effective first arms - Greek heavy infantry!
Or it''s time to call them Greek heavy infantry.
Because after changing all the half body armor, their defense ability is far more than in the past. At least ordinary chopping damage is not very dangerous to them.
No one left alive!
At the command of general riodari, the Greek heavy infantry will be surrounded by groups and killed by jackals who give up their resistance.
Then the soldiers of the reserve team will mend the jackals who are howling on the ground. After confirming that the jackals in the camp were no longer alive, the two teams of Greek heavy infantry began to collect booty, while the other troops lined up to wait for Murphy to lead the Chinese army.
It''s about half past six in the morning.
There is a red glow rising in the sky, and the light around has increased a lot, at least it is not dim enough to affect people''s vision.
By the time Murphy and the Chinese arrived, a crude line of defense had been laid in the canyon.
General riodari was ordering his soldiers to cut down trees to build horses, while the cavalry of the general''s guard spread out to investigate possible enemy forces.
The jackals'' equipment was concentrated in a corner of the canyon, and their bodies were stacked in the original camp.
"Your Excellency." General riodari quickly came to Murphy''s side, slightly bent over and said: "all the jackals have been solved, there is no living!"
"Well done." Murphy nodded and said in a deep voice, "start building the fortifications as planned now."
"Yes General riodari responded, and then began to assign soldiers to fill the canyon with sacks of earth and build a wall on both sides of the canyon.
The plan for the construction of the fortifications had been finalized long before the departure, but after everyone''s discussion, several small details were added. One is the poison arrow proposed by Lady Elizabeth, and the other is the more insidious plan proposed by the slave merchant pulifer.
The army began to allocate tasks in an orderly manner, while Murphy and the general guard were ready to see how these jackals, as the main fighting force, were different from those scattered jackals.
As soon as he stepped into the Jackal camp, Murphy saw something beyond his tolerance.
Bonfires, cauldrons, and human skulls
He frowned slightly, turned around and covered Mrs. Elizabeth''s eyes behind him with his hand. Then he motioned to the soldiers of the general''s guard, and immediately someone trotted over to collect the skull and prepare to bury it.
"Mr. Murphy, I am not a cowardly woman!" Lady Elizabeth was wearing a gorgeous armor, a dark blue cape behind her, and special iron boots on her feet. She was born into an aristocratic family. Besides being good at business, she also knew some basic knightly swordsmanship. That''s why this time she urged to go with Murphy. Lady Elizabeth is tall, half a head taller than Murphy. She takes off Murphy''s hand from her eyes and looks at what Murphy doesn''t want her to see.
Although she still said that she was not a cowardly woman, she still bit her lip and turned pale after looking at the human bones left by eating. She unconsciously stood behind Murphy.
A woman who wants to die.
Murphy sighed, then waved to the soldiers of the general''s guard to bury the human remains that had been eaten as food by the jackals.
Although the higher jackals in the Jackal group have great wisdom, they know how to enslave human beings and let human beings serve them. But other ordinary jackals with brutality don''t have such wisdom. They are greedy and irascible. When they are hungry, the same kind may even be their food, let alone human. In fact, in order to prevent the lower jackals from feeding on human beings in the karzat jackal clan. Those enlightened and intelligent jackals even executed many beasts.
Jackals have many defects. They can''t smelt metal or build equipment.
So they need human slaves!
Murphy saw the body of the jackal in a hill.
As the main battle force, these jackals are much taller than the scattered clan jackals, with a height of nearly 1.9 meters and a stronger physique.
Most importantly, these jackals have been heavily armed with weapons seized from humans.
Some of the Jackal collars are even equipped with body armor!
It would have taken a lot of effort to deal with them if the arrows of Crete''s Longbowman had not been able to penetrate such primitive half body armor.
Look at this pile of jackals.
The human remains that were eaten as food by the campfire came back to mind.
Murphy realized this time.
——This is an endless war!
The jackals in Athens were always beaten by him, so the scattered clan jackals were scared by him. Although he knows that jackals are cannibals, so far he has never seen a picture of humans being eaten by jackals.
This time I saw it with my own eyes, Murphy''s heart was filled with an irrepressible sense of killing!
He turned around and looked at the herald behind him. He said in a cold voice, "cut off all the heads of these jackals!"
you ''re right!
Murphy wants to do - Jingguan!
The soldiers of the general''s guard responded, pulled out their swords and began to cut off the heads of the 600 jackals.
Mrs. Elizabeth was very pale, but she didn''t know what kind of faith supported her. She still stood in front of Murphy with her teeth clenched, and witnessed the scene of the general Guard soldiers cutting off the heads of these jackals and stacking them on the side of the canyon.
You may be afraid of a dog barking at you.
But if you picked up a stick, beat it to death with a stick, and finally stewed it into a pot of dog meat and ate it.
The next time you meet a dog barking at you, you''ll know what to do.
This is adaptation to war.
After one experience, Murphy began to adapt to the times.
More than 600 heads of jackals are stacked together, 600 fanged mouths and more than 1000 eyes are frightening! The heads of these jackals piled up a small slope, and the dark red blood flowed out and penetrated into the earth.
I don''t know why, at this time, Mrs. Elizabeth seems to have the courage suddenly. Although she still has the evil in her heart, she is no longer afraid as before.
Murphy''s eyes passed over Mrs. Elizabeth and then fell on the soldiers who were watching him for four weeks. The soldiers probably didn''t know what Murphy was doing with the heads of the jackals.
to be sonorous!
Murphy drew the sword from his waist, raised it high, pointed to the heads of the jackals, and said in a deep voice, "when we win, the heads of these beasts will be as high as mountains!"
There was a strange silence around.
Then the atmosphere suddenly rose.
A commander with strong self-confidence can bring the soldiers the hope of victory!
In fact, the Jackal came faster than Murphy expected!
At about one o''clock in the afternoon, when the fortification was only half finished, the sound of galloping horses'' hooves sounded in the distance.
All the cavalry who were in charge of the scattered reconnaissance came back.
The chief General''s bodyguard raced to Murphy''s face, staggered down and panted: "Your Excellency, governor!"
"Wolf... Wolf cavalry!"
Wolf cavalry?!
Murphy was stunned when he heard the words, and then "sonorous" pulled out his sword, jumped onto the wagon, and roared with all his strength: "array!"
Hear Murphy''s call!
The captains and flagmen of all the organizing teams immediately roared, "array! The enemy is coming
"Fool! Put the things down! Take up arms! Array
"Fool! This way! Take your shield! You pig
Compared with other armies, the quality of Greek heavy infantry is much higher.
Almost when the militiamen gathered around the captain and flagman in a mess, the Greek heavy infantry had already formed 15 squares to guard in front of the canyon, waiting for the enemy to arrive. And Crete longbowmen, also quickly gathered in front of the Greek square, ready.
This is the gap between professional soldiers and militia.
When the wolf cavalry, all composed of adult jackals, arrived at the mouth of the canyon, the militiamen found their captain and made a crooked formation.
Maybe they can keep discipline and calm during training.
But when the enemy was coming, they could not help but start to get nervous. Only under the command of the captain and the flagman did they get together.
Only after experiencing the baptism of war can these militia gradually transform into soldiers.
The Greek heavy infantry with a total of 1200 people in 15 infantry squares are the first echelon. Because the fortifications have not been completed, the Greek heavy infantry can only list the formation in the open area outside the canyon. The second echelon is about 2000 archers. They are equipped with archers of human standard. Their range is far less than that of long archers, so they are not in front of the Greek infantry square. The third echelon is the silver shield Eagle infantry with a total number of 2000 people, who are adapting to the fighting mode of elite Roman infantry. They are the second reserve, as the main force to replace the Greek heavy infantry on the battlefield.
As for the militia of the fourth echelon, let alone.
At present, Murphy does not have much hope for them. If these militiamen are put in front of the battle, I''m afraid the first thing to be confused is his own formation.
Taking a simple telescope out of his arms, Murphy stood on the wagon and looked forward.
I have to mention the magicians who came to help Murphy. At first, Murphy just asked curiously whether the alchemy they studied could produce transparent glaze. But what he didn''t expect was that he asked casually that the magicians could really do it. However, it seems that they did not master a very high level of technology, because it took them a night to make two pieces of transparent glass for Murphy.
So Murphy sent craftsmen to polish it, and made this very simple telescope.
The distance between the two sides is about half a kilometer.
Through the telescope, those jackal cavalry lineup also appeared in Murphy''s eyes.
They are strong and strong, and probably have a height of more than two meters. They are all made up of males. They wear modified half body armour, and are armed with heavy weapons such as giant axes and hammers. The giant wolf under the seat is about 1.56 meters high, which is close to the height of a pony. If put in the previous life, it is almost equal to the fighting capacity of a tiger and leopard. The only thing to be thankful for is that these wolves don''t have any armour. If they all have armour, it''s really hard to deal with.
The number of wolf cavalry is difficult to calculate.
However, Murphy estimated that it should be more than 1500 people. According to their formation, it should not be more than 2000 people.
According to legend, these creatures named zombies are not ordinary beasts. They are the offspring of some Warcraft and giant wolf in the first era. They are much bigger than ordinary wolves, but they are rare in number, and most of them are a group of three or five. The wild Zodiac lives in the plains, and the only large-scale captive Zodiac species is orcs. They domesticated these beasts for thousands of years, making them loyal as dogs, but not losing the wildness of wolves!
Before the outbreak of this race war, jackals had no cavalry.
But this time, I don''t know what they passed, but they set up an elite wolf cavalry force.
In fact, all humans in the southern plains have focused their skeptical eyes on the orcs who recently migrated to the Loess Plateau.
Because these half blood orcs are also one of the intelligent creatures of large-scale captive Zodiac wolf!
After discovering that humans are ready, the wolf cavalry began to line up. The endurance of the wolf is far less than that of the horse, but its explosive power is stronger.
They turn over and jump off the wolf to restore the strength of the mount.
Waiting for the next battle!
