Yeah that is what they do with the throwing spears. They don't kill 5 or 6 people like in most cases but they'll take out the first line and some people in the second even, so by the time the phalanx has reshuffled and put new pikes up in the first line, the infantry is already fighting sword fights with the second (now first) line.
