Because you have to stop and take the time to work your blade out of the target. The point is that hitting a target repeatedly is NOT what hoplites did. They mostly feinted and jabbed, and if they hit something they either hopefully disabled it and had time while it died to recover, hit it in a soft place and not too deep, which does not provide much resistance, or were lucky enough to pry their point free before being killed themselves.
