It depends on the wall level and how upgraded the phalanx is.
Since it hasn't been spelled out in this thread, I'll explain why your slinger died.
Even when there are no defensive troops in a town, the town wall will still deal 3 points of damage per level. If there's no town wall at all, the town hall deals 10 points of damage, but the moment there's even a level 1 wall that goes away. So a wall level 8, for instance, will deal 24 points of damage to incoming attackers. An unupgraded phalanx with its defence of 40 points will survive that. An unupgraded phalanx will not, however, survive against a wall level 13 or greater (13 * 3 = 39, which is greater than 90% of the phalanxes defence, so he dies).
If there's a combat where all the troops die in the first round (such as your poor terrified slinger), then there's nobody to report back what happened.
