Summoning Total War

Chapter 60: Remnants (Part 2)

"Fold the wings together!" Murphy rode a horse to give orders on the high slope, while the messenger ran in front of the army to act as a microphone.

   Command in the Cold Weapon Era is quite inconvenient. Horns and flags are not enough. Under normal circumstances, a general will be equipped with one or even several heralds.

   When the two armies were only 300 meters away, Murphy ordered the two wings to close to make room for each other to advance.

   The Greek infantry moved closer in neat steps, turning the formation into a dense formation.

   The heavy cavalry running at the forefront looked at the phalanx lined with spears in front of them, and they were stunned when the wings were closed to make room for them, and they rode their horses to both sides.

   As the distance got closer, Murphy only saw the other person's form clearly.

   Strictly speaking, this is not a collapse, but a retreat.

   Although she looks a little embarrassed.

   Running at the front of the queue are heavy cavalry. The number of these heavy cavalry is about eighty, wearing armor and holding a long spear. Behind the heavy cavalry is the infantry, the infantry looks a little embarrassed, and lacks armor and weapons. Then came the refugees, the number is very large, conservatively estimated that there are close to five thousand people! Many of these refugees are adult men and some are equipped with simple weapons. The last column of the team is clearly equipped with many heavy infantry. They wear half-length armor and helmets. They hold a large square shield about sixty centimeters in length, and their weapons are short swords.

   looks a bit like the heavy infantry of the Roman military system.

   Together with these heavy infantry armed with large shields, behind the palace is a formation of Greek infantry and about 300 light cavalry.

   There were too many people, and the ground was soot that Murphy could not find Mrs. Elizabeth from the inside.

  From Murphy’s perspective, of these five or six thousand races, there are only less than a thousand soldiers who can truly be regarded as soldiers, that is, the heavy cavalry before and the heavy infantry and light cavalry responsible for the rear. Those in the middle of the formation are not so much soldiers, but farmers who take up arms.

   At the rear of the team, the figure of the Jackal gradually emerged.

   Jackal, although this creature has a strong ability to charge short distances, it is not very good in terms of endurance. They followed closely about 500 meters behind the team, chasing them, and occasionally the Jackal with wavelet speed chased them up, but they were all killed one by one by the light cavalry responsible for the queen. This chase seemed to have lasted for a long time, and Murphy could see that the jackals were also very tired.

   The retreating soldiers passed through the empty passage, and the heavy infantry in charge of the shield and the Greek infantry filled the empty position together with the Greek infantry.

   At this time, Murphy discovered Mrs. Elizabeth's figure. She was wearing a half-length armor, and light cavalry guarded her around.

   With the general guard riding down, Murphy moved closer to Mrs. Elizabeth.

   After passing by the heavy cavalry, Murphy discovered that they were covered with blood and most of them were wounded. It seemed that they had charged once in the previous battle.

   After reaching the back of the line, the heavy cavalry divided into three, began to reorganize the soldiers around the formation, and ordered them to form a second line behind the Greek infantry. Most of these heavy cavalry are canonized knights of nobles, possess good martial arts and have undergone systematic military training. In the army, they are also commanders of the middle and lower levels, responsible for assisting the lord to command the army.

   After a brief period of chaos, the retreating soldiers began to line up, and the farmers with weapons were arranged at the back.

   At present, they will only do bad things if they have not received much military training, turning the impeccable defensive formation into a mess!

   Murphy just estimated the number of jackals.

   Although it was so powerful, there were actually around 2,000 people, far from the 3,000 middle-aged knights.

   The only difference is that the number of males in this batch of jackals is very large, close to one-third!

  ………………

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

   The distance is closer again.

   About three hundred meters away from the phalanx formed by the Greek infantry, the Jackal stopped chasing and began to regroup.

   In the process of chasing, not only the human soldiers were drawn into a long snake formation, but also the jackals. The strong and stamina male jackal followed closely, while the relatively weaker female fell behind the team.

  Approximately one hundred and fifty archers were grouped together, and they were lined up behind the phalanx.

   Murphy immediately took over the command of the army from Mrs. Elizabeth.

   heavy cavalry and light cavalry gathered on the high **** under the order, waiting for the opportunity to rush into the enemy's formation at the deadliest moment.

   The two sides hold each other.

   Jackals rested in place after reorganizing their formation, while the Greek infantry was waiting.

   Those soldiers who retreated also need to regain their strength.

   "It's okay." Murphy rode up to Mrs. Elizabeth's side and asked.

   Mrs. Elizabeth shook her head and inserted the blood-stained sword into the sheath. She wore a half body armor with blood stains on her body, and apparently participated in the battle herself at the beginning.

   Murphy had never seen her use a sword for a long time, but she didn't know she could still fight.

"Only less than one-third of the three-hundred-man knights survived. Only these were left of the two-thousand-man shield infantry. The entire army of Eagle Banner and Silver Shield infantry was destroyed!..." Mrs. Elizabeth's voice With a trace of sorrow, he said slowly in a low voice.

   In this world, the so-called knights are mostly composed of canonized knights who are skilled in martial arts.

   They are all low-ranking nobles, and they own one or two villages. According to Murphy's estimation, Mrs. Elizabeth's territory may be as big as a prefecture-level city in the previous life.

   Eagle Banner Silver Shield Infantry is the most elite soldier in her territory, just like the Spartan Heavy Infantry to the Greek city-state.

  In this world, most of the elite troops of human city-states use beasts as their flags. Among them, the most elite soldiers are dubbed the eagle flag and wolf flag.

   "There are tens of thousands of civilians who have not escaped. They have become slaves to the jackals!" Mrs. Elizabeth's gaze turned firm. She looked at Murphy~www.readwn.com~ and said solemnly: "I must save them!"

   "I need your help. Fei." Until this moment, there was a trace of weakness in Mrs. Elizabeth's eyes.

   Murphy didn't say much, he just raised his hand to wipe the blood from Mrs. Elizabeth's face, and slowly said, "Ready to fight!"

   after a short break.

  The army of jackals began to advance, and the male jackals equipped with leather armor and bucklers were arranged at the forefront.

   These wolves are more elite than those Murphy encountered in the past!

   And their weapons are much better than in the past. A small number of jackals are even equipped with heavy armor!

   The only good thing is that Murphy didn't find those high-level jackals who were much taller than ordinary jackals. It seems that there are not many elite jackals who are more than 2.5 meters tall, even in the entire Jackal race.

   three hundred meters.

   This is outside the range of the archer.

   Two hundred meters.

  The male jackal standing in the first row held the buckler high in front of his chest and pushed forward slowly.

   one hundred meters.

   The male jackal at the front began to advance quickly. The archer started shooting.

   fifty meters.

   The male jackal at the forefront launches a charge! The archers poured out their firepower as much as possible!

   thirty meters.

   About fifty jackals fell to the ground with arrows and lost their combat effectiveness.

bump!

   After the distance was narrowed to five meters, the two sides entered hand-to-hand combat, and the strong frontal lethality of the Greek long spear phalanx began to work. At this moment, a group of adult male jackals, with a population of about three hundred people, circled the hillside from the other side...
