V1.Chapter 18

Ever since the jackals began to gather in large numbers, Murphy sent a general guard Knight out every day to detect their movements!

"Total war" auxiliary system can bring him the overall convenience, but in some details, there are still some shortcomings in the auxiliary system! And these details need Murphy's attention and attention.

In recent days, jackals have been moving frequently.

If not, Murphy would not have trained five armies in succession. In case the jackals attack.

However, everything was much faster than Murphy expected.

Before going to bed last night, most of the jackals on the strategy map were scattered around. Today, however, they are all gathered under the command of the largest jackal clan. When Murphy inquired through the strategic map, this group of more than 3000 jackals had camped 30 kilometers away from the town of Athens.

Around the city of Athens, there are about 14 scattered jackal clans with a population of 300 to 600. Because of the fierce competition within the race, a 500 member jackal clan has about 100 adult male jackals and 200 adult female jackals. In addition, there are old jackals and young jackals.

It takes about ten to twelve years for jackal cubs to reach adulthood and develop faster than humans.

In terms of clan composition, jackals are similar to human beings.

In the system of human society, there are about two adult males in a family of five. Their identities are generally grandfather and father. These two adult men are the pillars of the human family and the center of the whole family!

The composition of the Jackal clan is a little more relaxed than that. The Jackal has no definite spouse except the leader. But the race is characterized by one adult male jackal occupying two adult female jackals. Except for the exclusive right of the leader to his spouse, the spouses of other male jackals are changing. All the born jackal cubs belong to the clan, and there is no clear parent relationship. The whole clan feeds jackal cubs together.

Jackals usually have triplets. The gestation period is eight months, but the premature death rate is very high.

Only about one or two of the ten jackal cubs will survive. If there is a shortage of food in the cold winter, these young jackals will be used as food for a period of time.

Therefore, generally speaking, the largest fighting capacity of a 500 member jackal clan is about 300 people.

The Jackal clan that Murphy encircled was not included. It was obviously a combination of two clans that had experienced combat. It had a large number of adult jackals that survived. There are more than 3000 jackals gathered 30 miles away from the town, but if there are adult fighting jackals, Murphy thinks it should be only about 2000. One race, two-thirds of the fighters, that's quite a high proportion.

Since last year, only 100000 adult jackals have invaded the human city-state.

Without enough civilization to ensure food, medical safety and so on, the reproduction of a species will become very difficult. This can be seen from the fact that the entire jackal clan has a population of more than 100000.

And this is also the reason why human beings believe that they can defeat jackals even though they are defeated by jackals.

In the southern plain, human beings have a population of more than three million. In the population war alone, human beings are invincible.

It's a pretty primitive world.

It is also an era of survival of the fittest. Under the premise of ethnic reproduction and survival, all sacrifices can be allowed.

Without reinforcements, all stratagems will be greatly reduced when the enemy is non-human. The only thing Murphy can do now is to defeat these jackals who are more like beasts than intelligent creatures head on!

About three times the strength of our own side, which means that if we line up in the field, the Jackal will far surpass itself in depth.

Taking Murphy's exploration of the war in the cold weapon era as an example, if the length of the front formation is much shorter than that of the enemy, it will face the pressure of three sides and eventually be made into a dumpling.

Eat it!

The biggest difference between reality and the game is that if you mess up the formation in the game, the enemy will give you time to regroup.

But in reality, when the formation is in disorder, we will face the most ferocious attack of the enemy!

Therefore, when marching in an array, it is better to be still than moving.

As a tactically inexperienced general, Murphy has always been used to static braking.

The whole territory has been extremely busy since the release of the mobilization order for a full-scale war in the morning.

Women and children have been moved to the port, where there are many fishing boats. If the front line fails, they will be immediately sent to the other side of the nidoria river.

The men were given weapons because the equipment was given priority to the soldiers.

Most of these recruited men were assigned a dagger. Of course, only men with certain combat skills could be assigned a dagger. The others were organized by Murphy as auxiliary legions to attack as distant arms.

The Greeks' auxiliary arms had limited combat power. At least before the appearance of archers, throwing arms such as javelin cavalry and marksman were weak.

Javelin throwing is something that every Greek man has been exposed to. Although not up to the standard level of the Gunners, but the victory in many people. As long as the strength of more than 1000 recruited adult men can reach the level of throwing javelin, even without aiming, they can do great harm to jackals.

In wartime, the demand for javelin was not so high.

It's about two fingers thick and thin. The length is about one meter to one meter five. The wood should be hard and the gun head should be sharp.

Since there is no professional training in javelin throwing, Murphy has shortened the javelin used by the conscription townspeople to make it easier to throw.

Eight hundred Greek infantry have been able to set up a line of defense in the town.

On the layout of the defense line, Murphy has a set of plans in mind. If the jackal is sure of his town, then the plan will be more feasible.

Now, adult men are tearing down houses all over the town.

They sharpened sticks of nearly all shapes into javelins and piled them up in piles on the central square of a Greek town.

For 1200 adult men, if they throw 10 javelins per person in combat, they will need 12000 javelins in total. This is already a large number!

Fortunately, the supply of logging field has not been cut off all the time. Now all we need to do is to process the wood.

In his spare time, Murphy went to see the Marquis Elizabeth once. Murphy gently told her that the army of jackals was coming.

If they have something to do, they can leave first.

I will prepare a usable ship for them.

At this critical moment, Murphy will never put his hope on others. If these aborigines are not willing to stay to help fight, Murphy will never stay.

But to his surprise, marquis Elizabeth made a firm promise to stay and help him deal with the Jackal.

"Your Excellency. I hope to stay here to help you deal with those ferocious beasts. Moreover, my attendants knew something about the way they fought“ The Marquis of Elizabeth gazed at Murphy in silence, with an inexplicable flash of light in her sea blue eyes.

If I had the courage to be so fearless!

So your territory won't fall?
