Summoning Total War

Chapter 21: Kill (Part 1)!

Time, seven o'clock in the evening.

   At this time, the sky is completely dark, dark clouds are filled tonight, the moonlight has long been obscured, and only a faint starlight can be seen in the sky.

   The town of Athens is surrounded by cultivated farmland, and there is no sight to be seen. The lush weeds were burned clean by Murphy's order.

   Therefore, it is obviously very difficult for the Jackal to attack the town of Athens.

   Because of the wide field of vision, there are no obstructions to cover.

   However, the darkness obviously provides them with a little cover. They can hide in the shadows with good night vision ability and carefully touch the town fence little by little.

   In the past, they all invaded human cities like this.

  According to their past experience, as long as they enter the town, they set fire to create chaos. Then human beings will become a mess because of fear, and that time is the time for them to be slaughtered. This means a lot of delicious food.

  --------------

   There are not many night sentries arranged by Murphy, even a lot less than before.

   There are twelve four-meter-high arrow towers on all four sides of the town fence. There are torches on the arrow towers, which can illuminate things within a radius of 20 meters. There are three night guards on each arrow tower, taking turns to keep watch.

   Under the cover of the night, the first batch of jackals approached quickly!

   The sound of insects all around stopped suddenly, when the jackal approached, only the sound of ‘rustling’ when the wind blew over the vegetation. These subtle changes did not escape the eyes of the sentinels. They watched the dark place outside the light vigilantly, carefully guarding against possible attacks.

   "Wow!"

   A bow and arrow shot out of the darkness. The arrow hit the heart of a sentry, but the arrow was stuck in the leather armor. Just shot through the leather armor and penetrated a layer of flesh!

   then!

   The horns blow!

   The sharp alarm spread throughout the town, awakening everyone in the territory.

   Jackal’s archery skills are not good, their long claw palms are not suitable for bow and arrow. In fact, the really suitable long-range attack method for jackals is to throw javelins, because they have great power!

  Of course, they usually use sharp claws to hunt them, because they run really fast!

   Few people know that jackals are actually color blind!

  Although they have good night vision ability, it can't hide the fact that they are color blind. Jackals hunt mainly by smell, and they are as sensitive to the breath of blood as wild animals. This race will quietly approach the nest of its prey in the dark, and then turn it into its own food!

   By the way, jackals are midnight animals.

  The time of their activities is more biased towards evening and night.

  The sneak attack failed. The male jackal who didn't shoot the target with an arrow let out an angry roar. He snapped the bow and arrow in his hand, and then let go of its four hooves and flew towards the door fence like a beast! Although jackals can walk on their own feet, when attacking and hunting, there are still a large number of jackals that will land their front paws on the ground and run like wild animals!

   The speed is really fast!

At a distance of thirty or forty meters, the jackal man who was running at full capacity approached in just a few seconds.

   They jumped up, grabbed the edge of the fence with their sharp claws, and were about to dive into the town.

   "Wh! Wah! Wah!"

   Several spears stabbed out from behind the fence. These spears pierced the palms of the jackals climbing on the wooden fence, and nailed their palms firmly to the wooden wall!

   The sentries on the arrow tower took out their hunting bows and shot the jackals nailed to the wooden wall one by one!

   Seeing that the night attack failed, there was a howling of wolf in the distant darkness.

   Then I heard a dense ‘rustle’ in the night breeze, and tens of meters away from the town, there were heavy shadows! A large number of wolves gave up the sneak attack and instead directly attacked the gates of the town from the front.

   A powerful horn sounded from the town of Athens.

  As if this meant some order, the sentries on the arrow tower all began to evacuate, and the spearmen who were hiding behind the wooden wall and cooperating in defense also retracted their weapons and began to retreat into the town!

   The jackal attacked the town gate without any suspense.

   But what makes people feel depressing is that they didn't encounter any enemies, but when they attacked, because they rushed too fast, they were shot by Riima who didn't know where they were shot and killed several companions.

  Although he was a little strange in his heart, the huge number of companions behind him gave these adult male jackals courage as pioneers!

   They began to approach the inner city of Athens!

   Soon, they saw the enemy.

   There were two groups of Greek infantrymen with long spears like forests. Several torches were lit all around, and the soldiers stood ready!

   actually gave up the city gate and turned to fight on the street?

  The dense gun array made these first jackals feel scalp numb, but the innate wisdom also told them that such a gun array would be much safer to attack from both sides of them. So the adult male jackal who entered the town first split into two and began to attack the enemy in front of them from both sides!

   "Disperse formation! Line up!"

   The commanding infantry captain yelled. The Greek infantry in the first row drew a half-meter away from side to side, and then the Greek infantry in the back lined forward. Suddenly, the front of the entire street was completely blocked, and the idea of ​​those wolves hitting both sides was shorted.

   In fact, this can be done before the battle begins.

   But why wait until the battle begins before marching forward?

  The reason is very simple. On the cold weapon battlefield, once the charge is launched, all command is basically invalid. Unless a full retreat order is issued, if the back row squeezes the front row, the front row can only bite the bullet! In this case, even if it is running in a modern school, if there is an emergency in front of it, the back row will still hit the front!

   After the jackals gave the order to split into two and attack the two sides of the Greek infantry phalanx, the jackals in the back row could only run with the jackals in the front row. They could not see the situation ahead. The jackals in the front row couldn't stop even if they saw the changes in the enemy's square formation, because there were many similar running and charging behind them, and I am afraid that the first one to stop was unlucky!

   So, I can only bite the bullet.

   It is obviously impossible for the jackals, who are just humanoids, to be ‘banned’.

   The changes that took place in just five seconds also made the jackals in the front row too late to stop ~www.readwn.com~ They could only slam into the phalanx of the Greek infantry with flesh and blood!

  The light brought by the torch is really limited. The Greek infantry in the front row can only protect the buckler in front of them, and then stab at the coming black shadow!

   Suddenly, the sound of a weapon pierced into flesh and blood rang out.

The momentum of the Jackal’s charge was stopped by the Greek infantry. Because the back row couldn’t see the front, the Jackal who launched the charge could not stop at all when the front row was blocked by the infantry phalanx, and could only stubbornly hit the front. Companion!

   Suddenly, people turned on their backs.

   The width of the street has been precisely calculated by Murphy, and based on the number of wolves, unless they know how to break the game with the elite team, they will inevitably be stuck in a range because of the number! At that time, they were just living targets one by one!

   "Javelin throw! Get ready!"

   "Let it go!"

   Following the majestic sound of the command, the townspeople lined up behind the Greek phalanx threw their sharpened javelins with all their strength!

   There was a harsh whistling sound, and nearly a hundred javelins were thrown at the crowded jackals!

   There are twenty javelinmen in a row, a total of five rows. Each is equipped with five javelins.

  The Greek infantry reeled back to stabilize the line of defense, while the javelinmen took the time to throw all the javelins around them at the fastest speed.

   Soon, there were horrible howls.

   A strong smell of blood gradually permeated.

  ……………………

   Almost at the same time, all sides of the town were defending against the Jackal attack in the same way.

   After achieving the first step, the Greek infantry began to retreat steadily, and the javelinmen who had thrown their weapons began to evacuate to the central square.
