Chapter 11: Suppression (Part 1) ()

It took less than five minutes to go from treating the wounded to the zombie who had not yet died after the final blow.

Five minutes later, the Greek infantry who had finished cleaning up the battlefield continued to pursue the fleeing adult gnolls, while some of the more serious injuries would affect the soldiers who fought next to drive the obtained trophy to the Greek towns.

Gnolls do not like shiny things, but they have the habit of collecting metals. They do not know how to forge metals at all. Gnolls who act alone will eat all the food they can obtain, but the clans of the clans of the clans of the crowd will surround the cubs of the animals to tame them. Most of the clans of the clans of the crowd live a safari-like life, and their food is sourced from capturing wild animals and plundering other intelligent lives.

These creatures that are almost human-type beasts are also one of the few species on the continent that feed on other intelligent life.

In the mouths of the indigenous people of this world, they are called humanoid creatures.

It is not summarized into the scope of intelligent life.

Cleaning up the battlefield is what auxiliary soldiers and miscellaneous soldiers should do, but because Murphy has not established an auxiliary legion, the Greek infantry has to deal with the cleaning up the battlefield.

In the cold weapon war, a regular legion often follows a large number of auxiliary soldiers and miscellaneous soldiers, and even slave merchants!

It's like a knight needs one or two knight entourages. Similarly, behind a regular legion, several auxiliary corps are needed to clean up the battlefield.

The combat habits of Greek city-states are generally the existence of long-range troops as auxiliary soldiers. They harass and attack during battles, pursue and harvest corpses after the enemy is defeated by a spear phalanx.

Due to the urgency of time, the only one in Murphy who could exist as an auxiliary corps was his general guard.

In this regard, I have to envy Rome.

Because the Roman javelin soldiers are recognized as the best auxiliary troops.

After dealing with the wounded, the Spartan heavy infantry began to pursue. The strong soldiers were full of energy and had amazing endurance. When Murphy led the general guards to the valley, these Spartan heavy infantry had already caught up with the collapsed adult zombies.

They dispersed their formations and drove the gnolls to escape in the direction that Murphy was scheduled. These heavy Spartan infantry did not pursue them. In order to prevent the gnolls from counterattacking in despair, they only accelerated the charge every other section of the way, killing the gnolls who were behind. This was a long run of fifteen kilometers. At the end of the station, there would be a half-team of Greek infantry formed to harvest them all.

As we all know, if a person joggs for ten kilometers, the energy consumed is not much. But if he runs for five kilometers, he will probably not have the strength to continue running soon.

That's what Murphy wants.

Drive away the zombies, let them run away, and finally harvest them all when they consume their energy!

These humanoid beasts have great power. If they are forced too hard, they may suffer considerable casualties when they counterattack before death.

The way to attack military forces is right and strange.

Murphy didn't expect a brilliant plan, so he could only deal with these gnolls with dignified tactics.

The terrain within a radius of fifty miles of Athens town is relatively flat, and there are no dense woods around it. Murphy has calculated the route to drive the zombies away in advance. It is about fifteen kilometers from the starting point of the zombies camp to the end point of the Nidolia River. This distance is not short, let alone the zombies, even the cavalry gallops for fifteen kilometers, it will not be able to stand it!

The Spartan heavy infantry has very excellent endurance, so the key point of driving away the gnolls is the one who belongs to them.

As long as half of the general guards are transferred to cooperate to kill the zombies who are scattered and fleeing alone, the purpose of driving them to the edge of the river can be perfectly achieved.

The Greek infantry who had dealt with the battlefield later opened the square formation and formed a larger encirclement outside the encirclement of the Spartan heavy infantry. Their function was not to kill the gnolls, but to put the gnolls into pressure! An illusion!

It is an illusion that there are enemies in front, left and right and rear.

In this way, the plan to drive the zombies to escape towards their destination can be completed.

The way of military strategy - "The overall situation is important, the details are important!"

This is what Murphy felt after the first command of the army.

The overall situation is to create an environment where fatigue is achieved with ease, and the details are to calculate the variables in all aspects and think of ways to remedy them.

If more than 300 adult werewolfs, if they forcibly siege and kill, they would probably have to pay more than one-quarter of their casualties!

This is just a big defeat for Murphy, who has a shortage of population and a shortage of troops!

His purpose is very simple. If he removes this werewolf camp, his casualties can only reach twenty people at most. If this value exceeds this value, the loss will be greater than the harvest.

There are a large number of gnolls gathering places in the wild, but his town currently has a population of only a little over 2,000.

He can't afford to fight for the head!

The advantage of light cavalry is that they have good endurance and fast speed.

Of course, this endurance refers to the endurance of running away, because the light cavalry itself is not very equipped with horses, and if used for close combat, the endurance is quite bleak.

Especially the Greek city-state where the cavalry was extremely weak and powerless!

The speed of four legs was invincible with two legs. When Murphy arrived at the valley and calmly arranged the downward line, the figure of an adult werewolf who fled in a panic appeared in the west.

Most of the remaining were males and strong enough females. Those not strong enough females were basically harvested by Spartan heavy infantry because they were left behind.

"Raise the formation! General Guards, throw the javelin!" Murphy stood behind the phalanx and calmly commanded the battle.

Although he had a man's bloody desire to go on the battlefield and kill the werewolves himself, Murphy tried his best to restrain him. Although after coming to this world, his body was much stronger than before, but this alone was not enough.

There is an old saying: "The son of a thousand gold does not sit in the hukou hall"!

As the commander of the first army, it is obviously not a wise approach to take action to kill the enemy in person.

So Murphy told himself rationally that what he wanted to do was to command the army to boost morale, rather than charge.

The first round of javelin brought despair to the jackals who were driven to run for a full fifteen kilometers.

They discovered desperately, and enemies appeared in front of them.

They are completely surrounded!

What's even more tragic is that the fifteen-kilometer-long run has consumed most of their physical strength. Even though they have much more endurance than ordinary adult men, they don't have much combat power now.

But soon, hope rekindled in their eyes.

Because they saw a river with a gentle water surface!

As long as you can rush through the front line and jump into the river, you will be able to escape and ascend to heaven.

The werewolf has good water properties, and the river behind them is also the last trap Murphy left for them!

The infantry obviously cannot pursue the enemy who jumped into the river.

Even the gnolls understand this simple question.

As long as you jump into the river, you can say that you have escaped from heaven whether you go down the river or swim to the other side. Because it is impossible for the enemy to throw away weapons and armor and jump into the river to chase them.

Looking at the werewolf who rushed towards the front defense net after a riot, Murphy finally showed a smile on his lips.

Because he knew it was over.

It is impossible for these zombies with simple and exhausted equipment to strike the Greek spear square head-on!

In the age of cold weapons, the spear phalanx and super spear phalanx in the Greek world can almost be said to be head-on and unswerving existences. Even the later Roman legions defeated Macedonian super spear phalanx in the hilly areas.

Southern plains.

In the plains, the propulsion of the Greek spear square array can definitely make people's scalp numb!
