Summoning Total War

Chapter 40: This is war (part 2)!

Towards three o'clock in the afternoon, the rain was heavier.

   It was just a drizzle before, but now it is drizzle. The rain wet everyone, and the whole body feels slimy and uncomfortable.

   But now, no one dares to complain about all this.

   Murphy’s previous actions have taught those mercenaries to be awed, and in awe they understand what it means to obey!

   The road was slightly muddy, and occasionally a few people slipped and fell to the ground. They also quickly got up and followed the team in silence. However, in just a few hours, the momentum and cohesion of the entire team have undergone earth-shaking changes!

   These undisciplined mercenaries unconsciously set their sights on the disciplined Greek infantry as the army advanced, and then they began to naturally learn from the Greek infantry. This change was felt by everyone. In their eyes, these mercenaries who were unconsciously puffed up their chests slowly, as if they were already qualified soldiers.

   For this change, Murphy is happy to see it happen.

   These mercenaries have all received simple military training. As long as they have a strong constraint, they can quickly form a scale.

   The march for more than three hours made everyone feel a little tired. About three kilometers away from the gathering place of the jackals, Murphy ordered the whole army to rest to prepare lunch.

   It is obviously impossible to make a fire when it rains. Everyone can only eat dry food.

  The dry food of the Greek infantry is uniformly white bread, dried meat, and pickled fish. In contrast, the food for the mercenaries is much worse. Most of their food is prepared by themselves and there is very little meat.

   During the march, the bread was placed in the backpack, but the jerky was placed next to the body.

   In this way, because of the human body temperature, when taken out and eaten, the jerky will not be too hard because it becomes cold, and it is still warm and flexible when taken out, which is easy to swallow.

   Everyone is drenched, and there is nothing to pay attention to at this time.

  The soldiers sat on the ground, regardless of the mud and stagnant water on the ground, but they still had to be careful with the food in their hands. After all, no one wanted to eat mud. There is no need to find water. There is no industrial pollution in this era. Rainwater is very clean. Just looking for a stream will not be worse than so-called pure water.

   Murphy led the horse to a tree, then took the jerky from his arms and ate it bite by bite in the kettle.

   During the march, he always ate and drank the same food as the soldiers, and did not prepare even the slightest special treatment for himself!

  What is military heart?

   Military spirit is accumulated in such usual things bit by bit.

   Eating a bit fast, Murphy couldn't help choking.

   He picked up the kettle and took a few big salivas before he let out a long sigh of relief.

   half a catty of meat, two pieces of white bread.

   Murphy's appetite is not small, his increasingly strong body needs more energy to supplement, and his appetite is getting bigger and bigger.

   Looking at the dry food that the mercenaries brought, Murphy couldn't help frowning.

  If you rely on dry food without adding meat, the physical strength you can add is limited, and you'll be hungry very quickly! This is similar to the fact that in the 1970s, there was no oil and water in eating, and it was the same reason that any adult laborer could eat a few large bowls of rice.

   Murphy reached out and called the messenger and asked in a low voice, "How much do we have jerky?"

"There is no jerky. Two lambs were slaughtered yesterday. However, there are still a lot of kippers, and we don’t even finish the fish served at the port." During the march, Murphy could not go all the details. Interrogation, so under normal circumstances these matters are handled by the messenger.

   "Well, give it to them. There will be a battle later, how can you not eat enough!" Murphy nodded, and ordered the herald to distribute the extra kippers he carried to the mercenaries for food.

   "Yes!" The messenger responded.

   The pickled fish was quickly distributed, and the mercenaries got the meat and immediately had a much better sense of Murphy.

   For small people like them, there is not much they can crave, and some visible benefits can be recognized by them!

   After lunch, the whole army rested for half an hour.

   Food needs to be digested, and the physical strength consumed by the march must be supplemented.

   At about four o'clock in the afternoon, the rain is getting smaller and smaller, and the sky in the distance has begun to clear.

   "It's going to be clear!" The soldiers couldn't help but cheered. The rain affects the eyesight. Now the rain is getting smaller and smaller. If the weather is clear, the battle will not affect that much.

   "The whole army accelerates forward!"

   Murphy turned on his horse and ordered the general guard to investigate the gathering place of the jackals.

Because of the fine weather, the mercenaries’ mental state has improved a lot. They took up weapons and moved quickly towards the destination, and the cavalry with about twenty men in the hands of the slave merchants began to scatter. Check if there are any around. What special trend.

   Twenty minutes later, the army arrived at the camp of the Jackals and dispersed into a net under Murphy's command!

  800VS500!

   This is the first time Murphy has fought a jackal with a numerical advantage.

   The Greek infantry phalanx formed a large horizontal line under Murphy’s order, and surrounded the wolves gathering place in a fan-shaped formation with twenty men in four rows!

   The two Greek infantry phalanx formed a depth of more than fifty meters in diameter, and an inverted ‘eight’-shaped front blocked an angle of approximately 240 degrees in front of the jackal camp.

   The general guards were divided into two columns and moved forward in an arc.

   About three hundred meters away from the jackal camp, the army had been spotted by the clever beasts.

It is normal for    to be discovered. Murphy does not expect to bring these mercenaries to form a perfect encirclement without realizing it.

   More than six hundred and close to seven hundred mercenaries were divided into two teams, and they ran forward after the general guard. They wanted to **** the jackal and plug the loopholes in the encirclement between the escapes, so as to wipe out the gathering point of the jackal.

   When encountering an enemy, the first thing creatures think of is fighting!

   They only think of running away if they can't win.

   In this way, these jackals need a reaction time, and what Murphy has to do is to form a net of encirclement before they react, and leave all these jackals behind!

   The dull horn sounded!

   The pace of the infantry phalanx began to accelerate, and the cavalry shouted and galloped into the back of the gathering place of jackals.

  Before the adult jackals were organized to resist, the General Guard closed the last gap and formed the entire encirclement net!

   "Go ahead!"

   Murphy stood outside the battlefield, the messenger played a rapid horn, and the Greek infantry phalanx roared, screaming and stepping forward!

   The mercenaries began to shout and shout to drive away the beasts, and the voices from all directions caused a riot in the jackal camp. It was obvious that these creatures with simple intelligence had already understood that they were surrounded.

   The encirclement gradually tightened, and some mercenaries equipped with javelins and bows began to attack automatically.

The Greek infantry at the forefront of the    front line has already fought with adult male gnolls defending at the main entrance of the gnoll camp. These sturdy adult gnolls tried to rush into the square to defeat the enemy in front of them.

   But, UU reading www.uukanshu.com hasn't waited for them to approach, the spear has pierced their bodies!

   The first wave of counterattacks by the jackals was stopped, and the adult jackals were organized on the periphery for defense.

A team of about 150 mercenaries took over the gap in the rear of the general guard, and the general guard moved to the front gate under Murphy’s order. When reaching the front of the encirclement, the knights of the general guard spread out and took The javelin behind is ready to throw!

   The encirclement circle is further compressed!

  The number of jackals was about five hundred, squeezed into an oval-shaped enclosure with a diameter of about three hundred meters.

   At this moment, Murphy glanced at the slave merchants around him and nodded.

   The guard cavalry of the slave merchant galloped out. They were scattered about fifty meters away from the front line.

  The role of these people is not to participate in the battle, but to supervise the mercenaries who join the battle.

   If someone escapes during the battle, these knights will kill them!

   sonorous!

   Murphy drew the sharp sword from his waist, and the Spartan heavy fanatic warrior behind him stepped forward silently.

   Then, the majestic horn sounded!

"kill!"

  The Greek infantry phalanx shouted and started charging! The mercenaries also roared and rushed up!

   The phalanx and crowds are like a wave of anger that slapped on the line of defense formed by jackals! At the moment of impact, a piece of it fell down like a crop of wheat! The squeezed Jackal’s defense line is a target of flesh and blood. The deliberately compressed space under Murphy’s calculation gives these wolves no room for dodge at all. The javelinman does not even need to be a standard, just need to throw hard into the encirclement circle!

   For a time, the sound of fighting and the screams of wolves resounded in this land!
