Summoning Total War

The gathering place of the jackal is a bit like a primitive village, surrounded by a few wooden slats barely made into a fence, inside is a simple tent made of four thick logs and animal skins. There is a big pot in the middle of the tent. That is where the jackals cook their food. The primitive clan social system distributes food uniformly, but strong males and sprinkles are given priority.

　　 These tents can only live in strong males from the Jackal clan. Females without mates and weak males can only sleep in the wilderness or find a cave on their own.

　　 I heard that the jackals who are at war with humans have evolved greatly and have a fairly strict hierarchy. It is even possible that because of the war, the most primitive jackal noble system was born-the rank aristocracy!

　　 Fortunately, Murphy found that the wolves entrenched near his town were more primitive, more like beasts than intelligent life.

　　 This undoubtedly reduced him a lot of unnecessary trouble.

　　－－－－－－－－－－－－－

　　 Murphy doesn't know much about combat.

　　 But as a product of the information explosion era, even if it is by analogy, Murphy also learned a lot about strategy and tactics from other channels.

　　 Rationally screened out the tactics specific to the hot weapon era, and Murphy began to organize the scattered knowledge of cold weapon era tactics in his memory.

　　 Before the battle evolved to an era when only pulling the trigger, the tactics in those domestic movies can basically be excluded. The war in the cold weapon era consumes a lot of physical strength, and the role of morale is particularly important! This is clearly expressed in the phrase "work in one go, fail again, and exhaust after three".

　　 After thinking about it, Murphy thought of a sentence that was widely circulated in his previous life, from "The Art of War".

　　 "The Art of War of Sun Tzu" says: "If you return to your teacher, don't contain yourself, you must be queried when you encircle your teacher, and you don't chase the poor."

　　 is a very short twelve words, but it hides the essence of the art of war.

　　 "The encirclement of the teacher must be missed..." Murphy stood on the hillside hundreds of meters away and looked at the gathering place of the jackals.

　　 There are more than three hundred adult wolves in this gathering place of jackals. Their villages are just built, and the materials are leather and cloth looted from human towns.

　　 These jackals are quite ignorant. They sewed leather, linen, cotton, and even silk with rough fishing thread, and then made them into colorful tents as their own houses. The only thing these primitive creatures that have not yet born a civilization are good at is peeling and sewing crude leather armor. Their clawed palms are simply not suitable for things like farming and making handicrafts. They won't even build an ordinary wooden house.

　　 There are simple fences on all sides of the gathering place, which houses the cubs of wild beasts captured by the jackals, the animals plundered from human towns, and there may even be humans...

　　 The Marquise of Elizabeth mentioned that the wolves who make up the tribe already know how to enslave humans. They know that they will use uninjured humans as slaves to raise livestock, cultivate land, build houses, and build weapons for them!

　　 But obviously the jackals around here don't have that high intelligence. I am afraid that after capturing humans, their first thought is to fill their stomachs.

　　－－－－－－－－－－－－－

　　All the information collected is telling Murphy!

　　 These jackals are evolving!

　　 The jackals throughout the southern plains are gradually evolving from primitive beasts into intelligent life.

　　 And their barbaric civilization system is gradually improving in the war with humans! They began to create primitive cuneiform writing, formed a system of military rank nobility, learned to herd and domesticate wild beasts, capture slaves, and worship ancestors...

　　Perhaps the clan jackals are still primitive beasts, but those adult jackals absorbed by the Kazat jackal tribe have begun to possess wisdom!

　　－－－－－－－－－－－－－

　　 "Spartan heavy infantry, go forward."

　　 The strengths of the Greek arms are their defensive capabilities and marching formations. In a field situation, the Greeks without a strong cavalry can always reap the disintegrated enemy army.

　　 Murphy’s attack time was chosen at noon, which is when the Jackal started cooking after capturing the prey.

　　 Jackals are the same as humans, or the vast majority of intelligent creatures in this world are the same. They all maintain the tradition of eating two meals a day.

　　 is lunch and dinner.

　　 At about ten o'clock, Murphy ordered the army to eat lunch in advance, so as to wait for the Jackal to prepare lunch for a surprise attack!

　　 At that time, most of the jackals would return to the gathering place.

　　 "Touch! Touch! Touch!"

　　 The dull footsteps of the Spartan heavy infantry alarmed the female jackals who were cooking food, and they let out a panic cry.

　　 The male jackals who returned from hunting took up simple weapons and protected the female and the young jackals behind him. They looked vigilantly at the east side of the fence, grinned and made a sharp howl, trying to intimidate and drive away the enemy!

　　 It's a pity that they are facing real soldiers-lifelong professional soldiers! Their howls did not even make the footsteps of the Spartan heavy infantry a little messy, but because of the fearlessness of the Spartan heavy infantry, these wolves themselves appeared panic.

　　 "Greek infantry, go forward!"

　　 The neat footsteps sounded from the other side of the gnoll gathering place, and a group of Greek infantrymen in the town was approaching the gnoll at the same pace. Different from the Spartan heavy infantry, this group of Greek infantry continued to utter beast-like shouts as they advanced.

　　 The two infantry units approached the Jackal gathering place in a'V' formation.

The 　　 infantry formation is widened and elongated vertically and horizontally, leaving a large opening and a small opening at the front and back of the'V' shape.

　　 "General Guard, speed up!"

　　 Murphy raised his whip and pointed at the door of the jackal camp.

The sound of galloping horseshoes is more oppressive than the neat footsteps of infantry. Riots have begun in the jackal camp. The strong jackals have taken up weapons and rushed towards the infantry formation, while the weak jackals wanted to escape from the direction where there were no enemies. .

　　 There is a difference between facing an army and facing an unarmed farmer.

　　The latter is just prey in the eyes of the jackals, while the former is more difficult to deal with than the bears!

　　 "The Spartan heavy infantry charged, and the Greek infantry gun array advanced."

　　 Murphy stood alone outside the encircling formation, with the herald and captain guarding him. When the encirclement was close to fifty meters away, Murphy decisively issued an order for the Spartan heavy infantry to charge at the best distance!

　　 Spartan heavy infantry is not invincible by the Greek infantry in terms of physical combat skills and discipline. Their high morale can even fight to the death even when they encounter enemies several times their own! So using Spartan heavy infantry can let go of their hands and feet and use their powerful lethality to tear the enemy's formation. However, the Greek infantry is very general in terms of combat discipline and morale, so the commander must be conservative and enterprising. They must use the advantages of the Greek pike phalanx to steadily advance, reduce casualties and avoid heavy losses due to the counterattack of the Jackals.

　　 After the Spartan heavy infantry charged, the lower gap under the ‘V’ formation began to close, and only the upper gap was still open.

　　 "General Guard, free throw!"

　　 Under Murphy’s order, the general guard was divided into two and drove to both sides with a larger ‘V’. After finding a proper position, the general guard began to throw javelins toward the wolves gathering place.

　　 "Sparta!"

　　 The Spartan heavy infantry wearing a blood-red cloak put the buckler in front of them as they approached the fence, and then these tough soldiers smashed through the fence and rushed towards the male jackals who were guarding the periphery.

　　 The Spartan heavy infantry that crashed into the jackal camp was like a huge boulder thrown into the lake. It was not only a wave of waves, but also caused a fierce shock on the lake!

　　 These warriors who stood at the top of the earth at that time were like sharp swords. They stabbed into the jackal camp, and cut the terrified jackals into two big cakes!

　　 "Good opportunity!" Murphy's expression brightened, and he did not hesitate to order the general guards to attack the male wolves surrounded by Spartan heavy infantry and Greek infantry.

　　The weapons of the General Guard are the javelin and the dagger. The javelin is about two meters in length. Under normal circumstances, it is also used as a dagger.

　　 "Hhoo! Drink! Kill!!!"

　　 With a dull sound of weapons piercing the flesh, the male jackal who was attacked on three sides quickly collapsed.

　　 The fear of death made them lose the courage to fight, and they began to flee in the direction of the opening of the ‘V’ formation.

　　 Murphy decisively ordered the general guard to bypass the fence from the side to block the way of the female jackals and the cubs. He did not order the chasing of the male gnolls who fled, but contracted the formation to eat the weak existence of these gnoll clan.

　　The battle is over soon.

　　 Those female jackals and pups could hardly fight back under the attack of Spartan heavy infantry and Greek infantry.

　　 Within a few minutes, all the female gnolls and cubs surrounded by gnolls turned into corpses.

　　The soldiers began to treat the wounded and mend the jackals who hadn't killed before.

　　 The casualty statistics will come out soon.

　　 Annihilated one hundred and twenty-four enemies, lost five people and suffered minor injuries to more than 30 people.

　　The casualties were on the Greek infantry, and the Spartan heavy infantry hardly suffered any losses. The crude weapons of the jackals were not enough to injure the Spartan heavy infantry under the protection of the shield, and the soldiers who died were basically attacked to the critical position. Most of the other wounded soldiers were scratched by sharp claws, with holy water in them, and such wounds would heal quickly.

　　 About two hundred adult jackals fled.

　　 Murphy calculated the time, and ordered the Spartan heavy infantry and the Greek infantry to chase in the direction where the Jackal was fleeing.

　　 And he himself, led the general guards around a nearby river and approached the valley in the north.

　　 There, he ambushed a half-group of Greek infantry who had experienced battle!
