Chapter Twelve Killing (Part 2) ()

In the era of cold weapons, once the formation of infantry is dispersed.

Then what will be faced is inevitable chaos, and before the Iron Age, the biggest role of cavalry is to disrupt the formation of infantry phalanx from the side and rear. As long as the formation is disordered, the soldiers will become headless flies, which will eventually lead to a big rout.

In the Roman period, a century that was transitioning from the Bronze Age to the Iron Age, cavalry mostly used harassment tactics. It wasn't until the Middle Ages, when those tin can-like heavy cavalry came onto the stage of history, that the cavalry could really confront the heavy infantry head-to-head! Then, from the Mongolian light cavalry sweeping the world, to the end of the Mongolian cavalry in the hands of the infantry and cavalry coalition forces of the Ming Dynasty.

The combat method of cavalry in the cold weapon era is basically over.

In "Roman Total War", except for Eastern cavalry and Egyptian chariots, there are almost no cavalry that can face the heavy infantry head-on.

In terms of the propelling power of the heavy infantry, in the entire Roman era, it was undoubtedly the number one in the Greek pike phalanx!

The progress of civilization in this world is still quite primitive. As far as Murphy knows now, human beings have just entered the era of city-states, while their opponents, the wolf man, are moving from blood-related clans to tribal systems.

Perhaps there is a gap in the strength of biological attack, but in terms of the progress of civilization, the Greek infantry has been completely suppressed!

So the wolf man's charge came to an abrupt end soon!

Because they soon discovered that no matter how they sprinted, they could not shake the infantry phalanx in the slightest!

The tacit cooperation and the attack length advantage of the spear phalanx made these gnolls, who were equipped with simple weapons and did not even have a complete leather armor, fall down one by one before they got close. A spear with a length of about 2.5 meters can hit the Wolf man's body before they get close, and a shield can easily block their claw attacks.

The Gnoll whose attack was contained was like a duck whose neck had been strangled, struggling desperately to no avail. And when the Spartan heavy infantry surrounded them from the rear, all that was left was a massacre!

"At best, they're just a group of mobs with fighting talents." Murphy watched the gnolls who were surrounded by spears and could only struggle in vain. For the first time, he felt contempt for these alien creatures.

Gnolls are fast and powerful.

But so what?

With sharp claws alone, can you attack Greek infantry three meters away?

The maximum attack distance of the spear is about three meters, the length of the spear plus the length of the arm is their maximum attack range. And this distance is a life-and-death gap for the Wolf people, no matter how many corpses they use to fill it up, it won't be able to fill it.

If it was a jackal at its peak, it might be possible to rush into the spear phalanx with a dead body to fight close to hand, but Murphy had already fallen into the calculations, and the jackal whose strength had been weakened layer by layer did not have that possibility.

The Spartan heavy infantry advanced unhurriedly, further reducing the scope of the Wolf man's activities. A group and a half of Greek infantry slowly moved forward to further close the encirclement. They were not in a hurry to kill these enemies. Because any Greek understands that the enemy in this situation has no chance of surviving.

Before the encirclement closed, a few lucky gnolls escaped from the encirclement, but Murphy did not order the general guards to pursue them. As long as these adult Gnolls were eaten, today would be considered a big victory.

It was nothing to him to escape a few small fish.

I'm afraid that with this experience, even those few wolf men escaped. When facing the Greek infantry, there will still be psychological shadows.

"Attack!" Murphy calmly watched the Gnoll who was still dying, and slowly uttered two words.

"Drink!" "Drink!" "Drink!"

Under the general's order, the infantry marched forward with orderly and heavy steps, and the oppressive shouts were like a drum beating the heart. At this moment, the suppression of momentum has reached its peak, and that loud shout has become the last straw that crushes the wolf man's resistance!

Some of the gnolls who had fallen into madness launched a suicidal counterattack against the infantry phalanx!

And the remaining part of the wolf man knelt down on the ground and put down the crude weapons in their hands.

Just when the suicidal gnolls were turned into corpses, Murphy was about to order the massacre of all the gnolls who gave up resistance.

With a "ding", the notification sound of the auxiliary system of "Total War" echoed in his ears.

"Ding! You can kill or enslave a Gnoll slave if you capture it."

slave?

The hand that Murphy was about to raise suddenly stopped!

In theory, as long as there is war, there will be slaves.

In the era of cold weapons, a large number of slave traders followed the Roman legion.

To, or not to?

A little hesitation occurred in Murphy's heart.

Gnoll slaves are different from human slaves. The former are dangerous, while the latter are easier to control.

However, the town is now at a time when it is most short of labor, since the auxiliary system reminds itself to obtain slaves. Then it means that you have the ability to enslave them.

After hesitating for a while, Murphy finally ordered the gnolls to be taken into custody.

As long as they make shackles and limit their food supply, and control their physical strength to an extremely low point of weakness, then it is theoretically possible to enslave these wolf people.

Creatures that don't have enough to eat naturally don't have much strength.

The gains from doing so are obviously greater than the energy you put in!

Just when Murphy finished giving the order, an inexplicable anxiety suddenly hit his mind like a nightmare.

Almost at the same time, he felt the trembling of the horse under his crotch!

Very uneasy!

It feels like being stared at by the Grim Reaper!

It was as if he was about to die the next moment! ! !

Murphy immediately turned over and rolled off the horse, and then looked towards the sky that brought him fear!

He saw a black dot in the distance.

The black spots are rapidly growing in size.

In a few breaths, the black dot turned into a monster with a wingspan of more than twenty-five meters!

Block out the sun!

This terrifying creature like a prehistoric Fengshen pterosaur has a mouth full of sharp teeth and fangs, and its pupils are cloudy yellow. The target it stares at is like being caught by the god of death!

A terrifying creature with an appearance similar to the previous Cretaceous Fengshen pterosaur passed over Murphy's head, and the gust of wind almost blew him up!

He pulled out the sharp sword at his waist without hesitation, and then ruthlessly inserted it into the soil.

Murphy desperately grasped the hilt of the sword, and lowered his head to be careful not to let himself be blown by the strong wind.

Horror creatures that were almost the size of pterosaurs hovered above everyone's heads. The mere gusts of wind caused chaos in the formation of the army.

The screams of horses and the screams of human beings dying were heard in my ears!

When Murphy raised his head, the huge creature with the appearance of a pterosaur had already left.

And beside Murphy, there were only a few lonely horses that were too scared to move.

Under the claws of the huge black shadow in the distance, the corpses of a wolf man and a human were dripping blood drop by drop...
