Summoning Total War

Chapter 73 Sabre-toothed Tiger (Part 1)

The death of their companions finally taught the remaining ogres to fear.

At this time, the Greek infantry also kept up with Murphy's pace. An infantry team of 240 people in three phalanxes walked around the hillside and appeared in front of the ogre.

Now the ogres were no longer afraid, but panicked.

They finally discovered that there were more enemies than met the eye, and they had long-range weapons capable of killing them.

At a distance of one hundred and fifty meters, the centaur longbow can penetrate even half-body armor, let alone these ogres who are just wearing an animal skin.

The remaining six living ogres immediately gave up on the surrounding saber-toothed tigers, and even ignored the bodies of their companions. They turned around and fled towards the branches of the Karazhan Mountains.

General Guards! Murphy looked at the escaping ogres calmly and gave the order in a deep voice.

The sound of galloping horse hooves sounded, and the general's guards split into two and chased him from the side. When they were about fifty meters away from the ogre, the cavalrymen of the general's guard suddenly threw the heavy javelins in their hands.

There are now two types of javelins for the general's guard. One is a light javelin, which is thrown when the horse stops. The other type is the heavy javelin. The length of the heavy javelin is nearly two meters and two. The head of the heavy javelin is made of metal iron. It is equipped with only one piece and is thrown when the cavalry catches up with the enemy. This heavy javelin can add the inertial force brought by the horse when thrown, and has strong penetrating power!

It is mainly used to deal with armor-piercing or large enemies.

The General's Guard Cavalry is currently equipped with four javelins, three light javelins and one heavy javelin. During a charge, if the heavy javelin is not thrown, it can be used as a spear. This small reform greatly increased the melee combat capabilities of the general's guards, allowing them to charge like light cavalry. One more weapon means that they can immediately draw their swords to fight after the heavy javelin penetrates the enemy's body.

shuttle!

Most of the thirty-two heavy javelins hit the enemy. The ogre was too tall.

With a height of three meters and a shoulder width of one meter, this kind of physique can almost be used as a target. There is no doubt that under the powerful penetration of the heavy javelin, several more ogres fell to the ground on the spot. In cold weapon combat, the difference between armor-piercing and non-armor-piercing is really huge. Without any protection means that a little fatal damage can kill you in battle.

After hitting the enemy, the general's guards did not move forward rashly. They rode their horses to bypass the ogre's front.

Taking off the light javelins on their horses, the knights threw the javelins again!

bump!

Two more ogres fell to the ground under the attack of the javelin.

Just as the general's guard was preparing to further harvest the enemy's lives, the Cretan longbowmen also caught up.

The distance is about one hundred and eighty meters.

The Cretan long archer nocked an arrow, aimed at the ogres who were still standing, and fired the arrow that ended their lives.

The battle is over.

The knights of the general's guard drew their swords and slashed the ogres who had not yet died, cutting their throats. The Cretan longbowmen tried to pull out the arrows that were still usable.

Don't think that arrows are easy to make. Making a qualified armor-piercing arrow is not much easier than making a weapon. Due to the craftsmanship of the times, the Cretan longbowmen in the territory are currently equipped with only five armor-piercing arrows. The knights of the general's guard took back their heavy javelins, wiped off the blood on them, and put them back on their horses.

A group of Greek infantry began to clean the battlefield, collecting valuable things from the ogres, and then handed them over to the captain.

Eighty percent of these spoils belong to the lords, while the other 20% are given as rewards to the soldiers who fight.

After dealing with the ogre, Murphy finally had the opportunity to take a closer look at the saber-toothed tiger that had become extinct in its previous life.

The body is huge, far larger than other tigers. The limbs are strong, the claws are sharp, and the eyes are fierce, full of wildness and aggression. Even though it looks a little weak due to excessive blood loss, it is still scary.

Coercion!

Facing this saber-toothed tiger that stood nearly 2.2 meters tall and was 6 meters long.

Murphy clearly felt a pressure!

This feeling is like that of an ordinary person who is 1.7 meters tall and looks up to those basketball players who are more than two meters tall. Being a full head taller is enough to cause stress.

The saber-toothed tiger's eyes were very fierce, glaring at Murphy and his group, and making a low threatening sound in his mouth. Although Murphy killed the ogres that besieged him, the beast was not grateful to him.

The tigress's lower body was covered in blood, some of which had dried up, and the legs were weirdly twisted. It seemed that it had been fighting the ogre for some time. And suffered considerable injuries in the previous battle.

This is a pregnant tigress, and judging from its swollen belly, it is obvious that she is about to give birth.

The large amount of blood loss made it look very weak. Its lower body could no longer move, and it could only use its forelimbs to support its upper body while glaring at Murphy and his group.

What to do with this tigress?

Murphy watched the saber-toothed tiger getting weaker and weaker from a distance, not knowing what to do with it for a while.

There is no way to communicate with wild animals.

Moreover, he had lost so much blood and his legs were so seriously injured that he could not even move. Even if Murphy releases it now, it won't last long. The reason why it has been able to survive until now is mostly due to its thirst for life and its innate maternal brilliance.

It's protecting the baby inside.

That's all!

Shaking his head and sighing, Murphy said in a deep voice: Longbowmen prepare!

The Cretan long archers did not hesitate at all. They loaded their bows and aimed their arrows at the tigress lying on the ground not far away, unable to move.

The aura of this prehistoric beast is so fierce.

Murphy didn't dare send soldiers near it. It wouldn't be worth it if it killed a few people in its desperate counterattack.

And looking at its huge size, not to mention the Greek infantry, even the Spartan fanatical heavy infantry may not be able to take a hit if it goes up to it. With the same size, the strength of beasts is far greater than that of humans!

But just when Murphy was about to order the Cretan long archers to attack.

The saber-toothed tiger that had been staring at them and issuing a low-pitched intimidation actually crawled down towards Murphy, making a 'wuwu' cry from his mouth.

Murphy was stunned for a moment.
