Chapter 220: Night Raid (2)
The initial raid was successful and we’d managed to deal a significant blow to our foes, morale as well as take a decent number of prisoners as well.
The legions had retreated after less than an hour of fighting and the greecians had resisted heavily to pursue our forces as we fell back.
This was but the first blow to give our enemy a bloody nose but it would not be the last.
We would give our men a short rest as they camped in the darkness of the grasslands, while others would slowly slip around in the darkness.
The greecians would certainly be posting more sentries towards the front of their camp wary about another night raid, so our cohorts would move to strike at their weakened rear, and then when the guard was down looking back we’d once more attack from the front.
The greecian army will be killed off by a death of a thousand tiny cuts, as their strength and will to fight drops minute by minute.
The legionairres however were raring to go, their training was prepared them to fight for hours on end so to break every so often was new to them, but with their discipline they obeyed the orders of their commanders and generals.
The forces of romanus would become spectres of the night.
The greecian who managed to escape here today would forever spread fear within their ranks as they tell story about the nightmare forces they were fighting against.
Time and again our legions attacked their encampment chipping away at their manpower, their reasources, and their sanity.
By the time dawn was breaking we had pulled back our forces and from our fortified position, the dawns first light gave way to our view of the devastated Greecian camp.
