In the following days, Richard began to train these soldiers while secretly leading them to attack some small barbarian armies.
In order to reduce casualties, Richard always chose to attack at night.
In the next month, Richard successfully attacked three small barbarian armies, and each time he reaped great rewards. In the end, Richard successfully collected a thousand pieces of armor and weapons.
Together with the soldiers he had been training, Richard was already able to muster an army of a thousand men.
However, this army only has 300 veterans, and the rest are all recruits who have never been to the battlefield.
And because Richard often launched attacks in the dark, the surrounding barbarian armies became nervous, especially when the armies of four tribes were destroyed in a row. This made Holder, the tribal leader who led the barbarians south this time, very angry.
They vowed to catch the shameless villain who attacked them in the night.
That’s right, in the eyes of the Germans, a true warrior should fight head-on, and someone like Richard who attacks secretly is just a rat in the sewer.
Holden wished he could tear Richard into pieces. Because of these people, the barbarian army had to be on high alert at night. Not only did they double the number of patrols, but no one was allowed to take off their armor when sleeping, so that they could be ready to go out as soon as possible after being attacked.
This directly led to a decline in the combat effectiveness of the barbarian army. They had not had a good rest for a long time, and the war situation made many soldiers extremely nervous.
Also because of this, the invading Germanic barbarians attacked much more slowly, and even ended up in a stalemate with the Roman garrison.
Seeing this situation, Richard did not give up attacking these Germans. On the contrary, due to the long period of nervous tension, these Germans became more tired.
As for the vigilance and so-called defense of these Germans, it was simply a joke in Richard's full view of the map.
After scanning with his mental power, Richard once again selected a target and launched an attack under the cover of night. However, this time he did not intend to really attack, but rather a harassing attack.
It was late at night, and Richard brought dozens of people to the outside of the camp to launch a sneak attack. This time he asked people to make loud noises, and then used rockets to shoot into the camp and set fire.
The barbarian soldiers who had been on guard all the time immediately got up and rushed out of the tent, wanting to kill Richard aggressively. However, after they got up, they found that no one was attacking them at all.
This made the barbarian soldiers very angry, but they had to go back to rest. But just when these barbarian soldiers had just fallen asleep for a while.
There was another burst of shouting and killing in the camp. By the time the barbarian soldiers got up again, Richard had already led his men away.
After this happened three times, a large number of barbarian soldiers were so angry that they wanted to go crazy. Many of them even stopped sleeping and waited for Richard to come again. If they did, they would rush out without caring about anything and teach these shady rats a lesson.
However, Richard, who had full vision of the map, didn't give them any chance at all.
Just take them back to sleep.
The next night, Richard once again interfered according to the operation of the previous day, and the barbarian soldiers who were harassed and unable to rest were so angry that they jumped to their feet.
Many people rushed out of the camp to fight Richard, but unfortunately Richard didn't give them any chance.
Two days of continuous harassment made the barbarians in the camp, from top to bottom, feel angry and want to vent, but the same thing happened on the third day.
As the saying goes, morale can be boosted but not deflated. In addition, these soldiers were already exhausted both mentally and physically. After three days of this, these barbarian soldiers became discouraged and returned to their tents to sleep soundly at night.
In their opinion, Richard would only harass outside and would not dare to attack. Tonight would be the same as before. After Richard saw the state of these barbarian warriors through his mental power, he directly turned the feint harassment into a real attack.
The barbarian warriors still thought that Richard was harassing them and did not think that it would be a real attack. They did not come out to take a look even though the shouting and screaming outside was deafening.
As a result, the soldiers on night patrol were no match for Richard's army. They were quickly attacked and the camp was set on fire.
The Germanic barbarian soldiers had not slept well for several days. After they relaxed, they all slept soundly.
As a result, a large number of barbarian soldiers were burned or killed in their sleep.
By the time other barbarian troops reacted, Richard once again led his men to retreat deep into the mountains.
When he learned again that a tribal army of thousands of people had been attacked and suffered heavy casualties, Holden was extremely angry.
He directly ordered the army to stay together and not to disperse, and then selected several tribes to patrol at night, while the other tribal armies continued to rest.
He wanted to use this rotation method to deal with Richard's night attack.
However, this meant that there were even fewer troops on the battlefield during the day. The lack of manpower, coupled with the double fatigue of mental and physical, further reduced the strength of the Germanic barbarian army, and they were simply unable to break through the defense line of the Roman garrison.
The originally precarious defense line was actually held in this way.
In fact, Holden is now in a difficult situation. The Germanic barbarians are not a country. They are organized into tribes, and then form tribal alliances. They then elect the strongest tribal leader to lead them to the south to plunder.
Although not every robbery will yield a reward, but most of the time, the benefits are always greater than the cost.
This is also the motivation for the barbarians to invade the south for a long time, but once the losses are greater than the gains, these barbarians will encounter various problems.
More importantly, there is competition among the barbarians. If Holder fails to lead other tribes to gain enough benefits this time, these barbarian tribes will support other large tribes.
This is not good for Holder.
But as they continued to move south, because of Richard, they were unable to concentrate their forces to deal with the Roman garrison.
But if he went back in disgrace, Holden knew very well that he would fall behind in the competition with other tribes.
Holden attributed all of this to Richard, and finally he decided to take action himself and catch the rat hiding in the dark corner.
Richard knew everything about the barbarian army's troop movements, and his mental scan revealed no hidden details of Holden's troop deployment.
Richard easily discovered his plan, and for Holden's bold behavior, Richard decided to give him an unforgettable lesson.
Seeing that Holden was leading his troops to station at the outermost area, Richard did not hesitate to take his men to harass them at night.
The soldiers following him were already very familiar with harassment, and there were only a few hundred of them, divided into several small teams. Even if the barbarians chased them out of the camp, they could not catch up with them.
As for pursuing in the dark, these barbarian soldiers simply couldn't do it. One of the important reasons why there were few night raids in ancient times was night blindness.
Many soldiers simply could not see clearly in the dark, and in addition to night blindness, they were also afraid of falling into the enemy's trap if they went out to pursue.
This made the barbarian soldiers very passive.
Holder naturally knew this, so he pretended to be like the barbarian army before, seeming to be helpless against the harassment. In fact, he secretly let half of the soldiers rest and didn't need to worry about what happened outside.
For three days, Holden wanted to use this method to make the enemies who harassed him in the dark think that they had succeeded.
Then when the enemy launched a massive attack, they would not be facing exhausted soldiers, but a group of elite soldiers who were ready for battle. At that time, these soldiers who had been gathering strength for a long time would attack with all their strength and would surely eliminate the rat hiding in the dark corner in one fell swoop.
In order to convince Richard that his harassment was effective, Holden asked the soldiers to respond in the same way as before.
Richard asked Sean to lead a team to attack, and then asked Cruise to cooperate to provide support, while Betley led another part of the army to harass other places.
This time he planned to use a feint to the east and attack in the west, mobilize Holden's troops, and then launch an attack. Of course, he did not have much hope for this attack.
Sean's goal was to feign defeat and then lure these Germans into pursuit. He and the druid Dranos set up an ambush outside.
This time, at least half of Holden's troops must be killed.
After everything was ready, Richard ordered the others to take action. Soon as night fell, Betley led an army to attack the north of the enemy camp.
After learning that the enemy had finally attacked, Holden was overjoyed and immediately mobilized his troops. Once these soldiers broke into the camp, he would keep them all.
However, Holder's idea did not come true. This army merely broke through the gate of the camp, killed and wounded some soldiers, and did not go deep at all.
Instead, Holder's patrol soldiers were attracted over there.
Even half of Holder's remaining army moved here.
At this time, Sean led his army to attack from the south of the camp, easily broke through the gate, set fire all the way and killed his way into the camp.
Holder's soldiers were attracted to the north, leaving insufficient soldiers in the south. Caught off guard, a large number of tents were burned.
Holder realized that he had been tricked, and immediately led his army to the south of the camp. Sean was not greedy for credit, and immediately led his men to retreat after seeing the army chasing them.
Seeing that the enemy tried to escape, Holden was furious and unwilling to give up the fat meat in his mouth, so he led his army to chase after them.
Sean originally wanted to lure the other party to chase him, but before he could do anything, the other party caught up with him. At the same time, he underestimated Holder, and the original feigned defeat turned into a crushing defeat.
But it was also good this way. Richard had originally been worried that Horn's feigned defeat would be discovered, but it turned out to be a real defeat. The enemy had no suspicion at all and fell headfirst into the trap set by Richard.
In order to reduce casualties, Richard always chose to attack at night.
In the next month, Richard successfully attacked three small barbarian armies, and each time he reaped great rewards. In the end, Richard successfully collected a thousand pieces of armor and weapons.
