V1.Chapter 21

Time, seven o'clock in the evening.

At this time, it was completely dark. Tonight, dark clouds filled the sky. The moonlight had been covered, and only a glimmer of starlight could be seen in the sky.

Athens town is surrounded by cultivated farmland, all around nothing, before the lush weeds in Murphy's order to burn a clean.

So it's very difficult for the jackals to attack Athens.

Because of the wide field of vision, there is no barrier to cover.

However, the darkness obviously provides a little cover for them. With good night vision ability, they can hide in the shadow and carefully touch the town fence bit by bit.

In the past, they all invaded human towns in this way.

According to their past experience, as long as they enter the town and set fire to create chaos. Then human beings will become a mess because of fear. That time is when they will be slaughtered. It means a lot of delicious food.

Murphy didn't arrange many night sentries, even a lot less than before.

There are twelve four meter high arrow towers on the four sides of the town fence. There are torches on the arrow towers, which can illuminate things within a radius of 20 meters. There are three night watchmen on each arrow tower, who are on duty in turn.

Under the cover of night, the first jackals are approaching quickly!

The sound of insects stopped all of a sudden. When the Jackal approached, there was only a rustle of wind blowing through the vegetation. These subtle changes did not escape the eyes of the Sentinels, who looked warily out of the light in the dark, wary of possible attacks.

"I'm sorry

A bow and arrow came out of the darkness. The arrow hit a sentinel in the heart, but the arrow was stuck in the leather armor. Just shot through the skin armor, shot through a layer of flesh!

Immediately!

Horns blow!

The sharp alarm spread all over the town and awakened everyone in the area.

Jackals are not good at archery. Their clawed palms are not suitable for archery. In fact, the jackal is really suitable for long-range attack is throwing javelin, because they have great power!

Of course, usually hunting them with more or claws, because they run really fast!

Few people know that jackals are actually color blind!

Although they have good night vision ability, it can not cover up the fact that they are color blind. Jackals hunt mainly by their sense of smell. They are as sensitive to the smell of blood as wild animals. This race will quietly approach the nest of its prey in the dark, and then turn it into its own food!

By the way, jackals are nocturnal creatures.

The time of their activities is more inclined to evening and night.

When the attack failed, the male jackal, who did not shoot the target to death with an arrow, let out an angry roar. He broke his bow and arrow, then let go of his hooves and galloped towards the hurdle like a wild animal! Although jackals can walk on their own, when attacking and hunting, a large number of jackals will land their forepaws and run like wild animals!

It's really fast!

At a distance of 30-40 meters, the jackal in full-scale running was only a few seconds away.

They sprang up, grabbed the edge of the fence with their claws, and were about to turn inside the town.

"Shua! Shua! Shua

Several spears came out from behind the fence. These spears pierced the palm of the Jackal's hand and nailed it to the wall!

The sentries on the arrow tower took out their hunting bows and shot the jackals who were nailed to the wooden wall one by one!

Seeing the failure of the night attack, a wolf howled in the dark.

Then I heard the dense sound of "rustling" in the night wind, and dozens of meters away from the town, there were many dark shadows! A large number of jackals gave up the sneak attack and directly attacked the gate of the town from the front.

There was a loud trumpet in Athens.

As if it represented some kind of command, the sentries on the arrow tower all began to withdraw, and the Gunners hiding behind the wooden wall also withdrew their weapons and began to retreat to the inside of the town!

The Jackal captured the town gate without any suspense.

But what makes people feel depressed is that they didn't meet any enemies. On the contrary, they were killed by lijiandian who didn't know where because they rushed too fast.

Although there is something strange in my heart, the large number of companions behind me give these adult male jackals courage as pioneers!

They are beginning to approach the interior of Athens!

Soon they saw the enemy.

There were two teams of Greek infantrymen with long guns and torches around them. The soldiers were ready!

Give up the gate and fight on the street?

The dense gun array makes these jackals feel numb, but the innate wisdom also tells them that it is much safer to attack from both sides. So the first adult male jackal to enter the town split into two and began to attack the enemy from both sides!

"Spread the formation! Line up

The infantry captain in charge of the command gave a loud shout. The Greek infantry in the first platoon opened a distance of half a meter from the left to the right, and then the Greek infantry in the back row moved forward. All of a sudden, the front of the whole street was blocked to the full, and the idea of those jackals attacking both sides was short.

In fact, it's possible to line up like this before the battle begins.

But why wait until the battle begins before marching forward?

The reason is very simple. On the battlefield of cold weapons, once a charge is launched, all commands will be basically invalid. Unless the order of full retreat is issued, the back row will be crowded into the front row, and the front row will only be forced to go on! In this case, even if running in a modern school, if there is any emergency in front of it, the back row will still hit the front!

After the jackals gave the order to split into two and attack both sides of the Greek infantry square, the jackals in the back row could only run with the jackals in the front row, and they could not see the situation clearly. The jackals in the front row can't stop even if they see the change of the enemy's square array, because there are many running and charging like them behind them. I'm afraid that the first one who stops is himself!

So, we have to stick to it.

It is obviously impossible for the jackal, which is only a humanoid, to be forbidden.

In just five seconds, the jackal in the front row couldn't stop, so he just ran into the long spear square of the Greek infantry with his flesh and blood!

The light brought by the torch is really limited. The Greek infantry in the front row can only protect the shield in front of them, and then stab at the black shadow!

All of a sudden, the sound of weapons piercing into flesh and blood rang out all around.

The momentum of the Jackal's charge was stopped by the Greek infantry, because the back row couldn't see the front clearly, and the Jackal who launched the charge couldn't stop when the front row was blocked by the infantry square, so he had to fight against his companion in front!

All of a sudden, people turned upside down.

The width of the street after Murphy's precise calculation, with the number of jackals, unless they know how to break the game with a small team, otherwise they will be stuck in a range because of the number! At that time, they were living targets one by one!

"Javelin throw! Ready

"Let it go

With the powerful call, the residents of the towns behind the Greek phalanx threw out their sharp javelin with all their strength!

A burst of harsh whistling sound, nearly a hundred javelins were thrown at the Jackal crowd!

There are 20 standard shooters in a column, five in all. Five javelins per person.

The Greek infantry drew back to stabilize the line of defense, while the marksmen seized the time to throw all the javelins around them as fast as they could.

Soon, there were howls.

A strong smell of blood gradually diffused.

Almost at the same time, all sides of the town were defending against the attack of the jackals in the same way.

After the first step, the Greek infantry began to retreat steadily, while the javelin throwers began to withdraw to the central square.
