The high priest had no military knowledge at all and did not understand the iron rule that infantry defeats skirmishers.
He only wanted to stabilize the morale of the army and prevent the army from collapsing, so he did not hesitate to use the words of the oracle.
Upon hearing this, everyone reluctantly reached a consensus and went into the grove that Xia Zhe had pointed out.
Just as they stood still, a rapidly advancing infantry phalanx of the enemy on the left rushed up in an orderly manner.
"Throw the spear! Throw the spear!"
A spear thrower shouted and threw the short spear on his waist in panic.
Infected by this action, all the soldiers on their side began to throw their spears, no longer caring whether there was anyone commanding them or not.
This chaotic scene, devoid of any sense of organization or discipline, only made the king's personal maids smile wryly at each other.
The high priest couldn't help but feel nervous, realizing that he might have made things worse.
Unfortunately, it’s too late to regret now.
oops…
Ouch…
Unexpectedly, when the short spear was thrown, the other side actually let out wails.
The enemy infantry lost their formation in the woods, disrupting their formation. The previously continuous defensive shield formation was now riddled with holes.
The enemy was caught off guard by our random and disorganized spear throwing, which made them lose sight of the big picture.
After only three rounds of throwing, more than 300 corpses were left on the opposite side.
"I can't win! Run!"
Before they could even engage the skirmishers, they had already lost a third of their fighting strength. The bandit formations before them collapsed, and the remaining enemies fled in all directions.
Amidst the surprise, the morale of the other two intact bandit infantry phalanxes was also unsettled.
After a brief hesitation outside the woods, the two teams of light infantry chose to retreat quickly and safely.
The road back to the city, which had been blocked for a long time, was suddenly opened.
"Miracle! A miracle has happened!" the high priest cheered excitedly.
One thousand of our own skirmishers, who were restrained by their own troops, attacked indiscriminately and actually repelled the enemy's three thousand well-trained infantrymen!
The high priest could not think of any other reason except that a miracle had occurred.
"miracle!"
"miracle!"
"Long live our king!"
"Long live our king!"
After winning a battle inexplicably and hearing the high priest's interpretation, the soldiers' morale was greatly boosted.
Everyone shouted slogans, strode with their heads held high, and carried the unconscious Xia Zhe towards the city.
…
Three days later, in the king's bedroom.
The morning sun shines through the elegant windows and into the house.
Xia Zhe frowned as he silently looked at the old map on the wall of the study.
I have really arrived in the world of ancient city-states!
And he became the king of a small city-state!
However, Xia Zhe couldn't be happy at all!
Because, he actually traveled through time and space and was possessed by a spirit, and it was not just a simple trip to a foreign land!
For a moment, there was no way to go back.
What’s more troublesome is that this king’s job is definitely an extremely high-risk job!
It’s hard to say whether I can survive and return!
