Summoning Total War

Since discovering that the jackals began to gather in large numbers, Murphy sent out a general guard knight to investigate their movements every day!

　　 The "Total War" auxiliary system can bring him convenience in the overall situation, but in some details, the auxiliary system still has some shortcomings! Murphy needs to pay attention to these details and deal with it.

　　 In the past few days, the Jackal has been moving frequently.

　　 If it weren't for this, Murphy would not have trained five armies one after another. In case of the next attack that the Jackal will launch.

　　 However, everything is going much faster than Murphy expected.

　　 Before going to bed last night, most of the jackals on the strategic map were scattered around. But today, they were all gathered under the largest clan of gnolls. When Murphy used the strategic map to check, the group of more than 3,000 gnolls had camped 30 kilometers away from the town of Athens.

　　 Around the town of Athens, there are about 14 scattered gnoll clans. The population of these gnoll clans is basically between 300 and 600. Because the competition within the race is also extremely fierce, a 500-person Jackal Clan has about 100 adult male Jackals and 200 adult female Jackals. In addition, there are old gnolls and cubs.

　　 Jackal cubs take about ten to twelve years to reach adulthood, and their bodies develop faster than humans.

　　 In terms of clan composition, jackals are roughly similar to humans.

　　In the human social system, there are about two adult men in a family of five people, and their identities are generally grandfather and father. These two adult men are the backbone of the human family and the center of the entire family!

　　The composition of the Jackal clan is a bit more relaxed than this. The Jackal has no clear spouse except the leader. But the characteristic of the race is that one adult male jackal possesses two adult female jackals. Except for the leader's exclusive right to his spouse, the spouses of other male jackals are changing. All the gnoll cubs that are born belong to the clan, and there is no clear parental relationship. The whole clan feeds the gnoll cubs together.

　　 Jackals mostly have triplets, the gestation period is eight months, but the mortality rate is very high.

　　 Only one or two of the ten wolves cubs will survive. If there is a shortage of food in the cold winter season, these premature jackal cubs will be used as food for a period of cold winter.

　　 Therefore, generally speaking, a 500-person Jackal Clan has a maximum combat power of about 300 people.

　　 The Jackal clan that Murphy encircled and suppressed was not counted. It was obviously a merger of two clans that had experienced battles, and it had a large number of adult Jackals that survived. The number of wolves gathered in the town thirty miles away is definitely more than 3,000, but if there are adult gnolls with combat effectiveness, Murphy thinks it should be only about 2,000. A race, two-thirds of combatants, this is already a very high proportion.

　　 Since last year, the number of adult jackals from the Kazat Tribe of Jackals has completely invaded the human city-states.

　　Without enough civilization to ensure food and medical safety, etc., the reproduction of a species will become very difficult. This can be seen from the population of the entire Jackal Clan with a population of hundreds of thousands.

　　 And this is also the reason why human beings have been defeated by the jackals, but they still firmly believe that they can defeat the jackals.

　　In the southern plains, humans have a population of more than three million. Just speaking of population wars, humans are already invincible.

　　 This is a rather primitive world.

　　 is also an era of survival of the fittest. All sacrifices can be tolerated under the premise of the survival of races.

　　－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

　　Without reinforcements, all tactics are greatly reduced when the enemy is inhuman. The only thing Murphy can do now is to head-on and defeat these wolves who are more like beasts than intelligent creatures!

　　 About three times the strength of one's own side, which means that if you line up in the wild, the jackal will far exceed himself no matter how deep he is.

　　 Based on Murphy's exploration of the Cold Weapons Age war during this period, if the frontal formation is much shorter than the enemy, it will face pressure from three sides and will eventually be wrapped into a dumpling.

　　 Eat it in one bite!

　　 The biggest difference between reality and the game is that if the formation is messed up in the game, the enemy will give you time to regroup.

　　 But in reality, the enemy's most ferocious attack will be faced when the formation is chaotic!

　　 Therefore, the marching line is worse than static.

　　 As a tactically not very experienced general, Murphy has always been accustomed to using static braking.

　　……………………

　　 Since the mobilization order for total war was issued in the morning, the entire territory has been extremely busy.

　　 Women and children have been moved to the port, where there are many fishing boats. If the front line is lost, they will be immediately sent to the other side of the Nedoria River.

　　 The men were given weapons, and the equipment was given priority to the soldiers.

　　Most of the men who were recruited were assigned a dagger. Of course, only men with certain fighting skills could be assigned a dagger. The others were organized by Murphy into auxiliary corps and attacked as distant arms.

　　The Greeks had limited combat effectiveness of auxiliary units. At least before the appearance of archers, the javelin cavalry and javelin throwers were very weak.

　　 Javelin throwing is something that every Greek man has come into contact with. Although it is not up to the level of a javelin thrower, it is better than the crowd. More than a thousand adult males who have been recruited, as long as they can reach the level of throwing a javelin, even without aiming, can cause great harm to the jackals.

　　 The requirements for the javelin during the war were not so high.

　　 About two-finger wooden sticks, about one meter to one meter five in length, the wood should be hard, and the tip of the gun should be sharpened.

　　Because there is no professional training in javelin throwing, Murphy shortened the javelin used by the townsmen to be conscripted a bit, so that it is convenient for throwing.

　　 Eight hundred Greek infantrymen have been able to deploy a line of defense in the town.

　　 Regarding the layout of the line of defense, Murphy already has a plan in mind. If the jackals are bound to have their own town, then this plan will be more feasible.

　　 Now, adult men all over town are demolishing houses.

　　 They sharpened all wooden sticks that were nearly usable into javelins, and then piled them on the central square of the Greek town.

　　 1,200 adult men, if ten javelins are thrown per person in battle, then a total of twelve thousand javelins are needed. This is not a small amount!

　　 Fortunately, the supply of lumber farms has never been interrupted. Now all that needs to be done is to process the wood.

　　 Taking time off, Murphy went to see the Marquise Elizabeth once. Murphy tactfully indicated to her that the army of gnolls was about to attack.

　　 If they have something, they can leave first.

　　 I will prepare a usable ship for them.

　　 At this critical moment of life and death, Murphy will never put hope on others. If these aborigines are unwilling to stay to help fight, Murphy will never stay.

　　 But to his surprise, the Marquise Elizabeth categorically stated that she would stay and help him deal with the wolves.

"Your Excellency. I hope to stay and help you deal with those ferocious beasts. Moreover, my attendants also know how they fight." The Marquise Elizabeth stared at Murphy silently, with an inexplicable light in her sea-blue eyes. Flashed by.

　　 If I had such fearless courage in the first place!

　　 Then your own territory will not fall, right?
