"Chapter 547: False Retreat Trap"
Too much and too little exercise is the same damage to physical strength; Eating too much and too little is just as damaging to your health; Only moderation can produce, promote, and maintain physical strength and health. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
- Aristotle (one of the great philosophers, scientists, and educators in the ancient history of the world)
The pale-faced Flavies stood in front of the tent under the escort of his guards, and watched the hundreds of enemy sneak attacks rag as if they were in a no-man's land, and then left safely; The panicked appearance of his own soldiers made Flavis's face even redder, and this time even the three army commanders were speechless by the performance of the soldiers under their command.
After this sneak attack by the enemy, it took several hours for the Julius family to clean up the barracks; The set fire had been disposed of, the bodies of the dead soldiers had been gathered, and the casualty statistics had been sent to Flavies.
The night attack of the enemy, which was only a few hundred men, actually cost the Eighth Army Corps, which was in charge of patrolling the barracks, 500 casualties; What is even more staggering is that in the arson of the enemy before leaving, more than half of the military tents in the barracks were ruthlessly burned.
The painful lesson directly let the three corps commanders know how to patrol the barracks well, and this time it was still the Eighth Corps that was responsible for patrolling the barracks; It's just that no one dares to sleep lazily anymore, and no one dares to neglect their duties.
In fact, even if there is no wide-eyed patrol of the patrol soldiers, those soldiers who are crowded in the military tent do not dare to fall asleep easily; Between sleepiness and death, everyone still unanimously chose to endure sleepiness and vigilantly hold their short sword.
The more than 300 soldiers of the night raid regiment who were responsible for the sneak attack on the military camp of the Julius family, and the enemy military camp was in chaos after killing less than a few dozen casualties; After quickly evacuating the barracks, they returned to the temporary station of the Mainz tribal army.
After a night of silence, early the next morning, Odovaka once again organized the soldiers who had slept well and struck the place where the military camp of the Julius family was located; Today, Odovaka is going to attack the enemies of the House of Julius again.
The successful sneak attack of the night raid last night convinced Odovaka that the army in the Julius family camp must have suffered very heavy losses; Even if the loss of soldiers is not enough to affect their combat effectiveness, the blow to their morale can be fatal.
The enemy army that did not have a good rest, and the morale was depressed, this was naturally the best time for the Mainz tribal army to attack; As a result, Odovaka led 13,000 warriors and 5,000 Germanic women warriors to the enemy camp.
When he came to the barracks attacked by the night raiders last night, Odovaca was surprised to find that the enemy troops in the barracks had already withdrawn, and the entire barracks had become an empty barracks; It may be that the evacuation was too hasty, and a lot of grain and grass materials in the barracks have not had time to be taken away, and even those military tents are left intact in the barracks!
The sudden victory came so easily, so easily that everyone could not believe it; However, the facts before us have to make people believe that the invading enemy has fled the Aglidigumat region, and the Mainz tribes have won the war against the invasion.
Perhaps, it is still too early to end the war, but after all, it is the Mainz tribe that has won a victory; Since the Mainz tribe can defeat the enemy once, it can defeat the enemy a second time, and the victory belongs to the Mainz tribe after all!
Odovaka looked at the excitement in the eyes of his soldiers, and his heart was full of joy and pride; It was these brave warriors who paid the price of blood that allowed the Mainz tribe to win the battle, and they were the greatest heroes!
Many of the things in the Julius family barracks were still relatively new to the Germanic barbarians, and even the food of the Julius family army was different from what the Germanic barbarians ate; Looking at the curious warriors, Odovaka smiled and ordered:
"My brave and fearless warriors, you are the true warriors of our Mainz tribe! It is because of your sacrifice and dedication that our Mainz tribe has triumphed; Everything in the entire barracks is your spoils, so enjoy it!
I'll give you a day to do what you want in this barracks; Tomorrow morning, we will continue to pursue the fleeing enemies and make them understand that our Mainz tribe will not be invaded by anyone!
We must make those foolish and arrogant enemies understand that only their blood can wash away the shame of the invasion of our Mainz tribes, and only their lives can mourn the memory of our warriors who died in battle! ”
Odovaka's order was hailed by all the warriors, who were cheering for the spoils of war and for their own victory.
After the cheers, the warriors of the Mainz tribe rushed to the food and grass left behind by the army of the Julius family; The delicious bread and wine shocked the Germanic barbarian warriors who had never seen anything before.
In fact, the wines in the barracks are the worst wines, and are generally used to celebrate the victory of ordinary soldiers after the victory of the army; But for the Germanic barbarian warriors who had never drunk wine, these were already amazing delicacies, and while they enjoyed them, they couldn't help but have a trace of envy for the distant civilized country.
After a simple meal and a few ready-made wines and breads, the Germanic warriors began to prepare lunch for all the warriors of the Mainz tribe, using the food of the Julius family; Today at noon, it is destined to be the carnival of the victors!
While Odovaka was leading his own tribe's warriors to revel, Flavis and the three legion commanders were also observing the movement in the barracks from a distance on a hill not far away; And behind them, there were dense hoplites!
It turned out that Flavies did not lead the soldiers of the three legions to evacuate the area of Agridigumat at all; It's just that Flavis expected that the Germanic barbarian army, which succeeded in the sneak attack last night, would definitely attack his own military camp today.
With 12,000 soldiers on his side who had barely slept all night, he faced the army of the Mainz tribe who had rested all night; Flavis knew with his toes that today's battle would be a bad luck for the army of the Julius family.
In order to avoid a head-on confrontation with the enemy's recuperated army, Flavis withdrew from the barracks with all the soldiers in the barracks in the early morning when it was still dark, and came to a small valley not far from the barracks but not easy to find.
Except for Flavis and the three army commanders, who were observing the enemy's situation, the other 12,000 soldiers were hurrying to rest; As for the food and grass that was left in the barracks, it was deliberately left behind by Flavies, in order to confuse the attacking Germanic barbarian army.
Especially the inferior wines, in which Flavis let his soldiers put a sufficient amount of laxatives; As long as the armies of those Germanic barbarians drank that wine, they would soon lose all their fighting power!
These laxatives are essential medicines in the Ulius legion, and the purpose is to prevent the soldiers of the Ulius family legion from eating poisonous food and use them to immediately eliminate toxins from the body; I didn't expect it to play a more important role here!
Watching the enemy revelry in his barracks was extremely awkward for Flavis; But thinking about the price the barbarians had to pay for it, Fravis felt much better.
Oblivious to the secrets of wine, the warriors under the command of Odovaka are still celebrating today's victory in their own way; Barrels of wine that had been eaten up were thrown all over the ground, and the barbarian warriors had no concept of discipline at all at such times.
The women warriors who were busy preparing food did not eat bread or drink wine; But they were willing to prepare food for the warriors who had fought all day yesterday, which was the treatment that warriors deserved. Although these female warriors are warriors of the Mainz tribe, they are essentially women, and it is the nature of Germanic women to be attached to men.
It didn't take long for the female warriors to prepare their food, but the soldiers who had drunk the wine were holding their stomachs and having diarrhea; It's normal for one or two people to have diarrhea because they don't adapt to this kind of outside thing, and all the fighters of such a large scale have diarrhea, even a fool can see that there is something wrong with these wine and food!
Before Odovaka could react, an earth-shattering shout of killing rang out outside the barracks; The three legions of the House of Julius were rushing from all directions towards the barbarian warriors in the barracks.
Odovaka himself drank some of the wine that the warriors had brought to him, but his strong constitution made him not feel like diarrhea for a while; However, he alone could not withstand the attack of more than 10,000 enemies!
At this time, the only 5,000-Germanic female warrior who had never drunk wine or eaten bread became a lifesaver for all the warriors of the Mainz tribe; The female warriors did not hesitate when the Julius army charged, they immediately threw away the tools they were holding, drew their short daggers at their waists, and met the enemies who rushed towards them.
The Germanic female warriors' weapons were only short daggers, but with the dexterity and flexible tactical cooperation of the female warriors, they could exert extremely good combat effectiveness; However, the combat effectiveness of the female warriors is limited after all, and they simply cannot compete with the enemy.
Seeing the female warriors fighting desperately in front, Odovaka, as the leader of the Mainz tribe, could only retreat in a hurry with those soldiers who had diarrhea; This is more uncomfortable for Odovaka, who has always regarded bravery as life and does not want women to go to the battlefield, than killing him, and the other warriors who retreated holding their stomachs also bit their lips and let the blood flow into their mouths!
