- Hesiod (ancient Greek poet)

After Eggers was knocked unconscious on the spot by Bazel, the soldiers under his command wanted to take back Eggers like crazy, but unfortunately, the existence of the Germanic berserkers made their madness just madness, and could not change the situation on the battlefield at all.

Bazel is different from Antio, he is not a war maniac obsessed with fighting, even if he goes into battle himself, it is only to solve the war faster, knocking Eggers out is only his first plan, and the follow-up arrangement is crucial.

Under the cover of the Germanic berserkers, Bazel managed to drag Eggers to the rear of the battle, and as for the soldiers under the command of Eggers who were desperately attacking, the soldiers of the Tiger Legion were not vegetarians, and their madness was only to increase casualties.

Bai Feng, who was sitting in the rear of the Tiger Legion, did not expect such a change in the battle ahead, the supreme commander of the enemy army was actually captured by Bazel and Antio on the battlefield, which was already at a disadvantage for the Aceni army, it was tantamount to a house leak and overnight rain, after a short period of madness, those Acenian tribe warriors who had lost their commander would realize the coming of defeat.

At this point in this war, there was no real need for the fighting here to continue, the first two landing failures had already demoralized the Estheni tribe's army, and their third attack, which they had barely revived, had been captured by the Roman army, and their commander had been captured, did they have any capital to continue fighting?

Bai Feng's only concern now is whether the army led by Licinius can successfully stop the southward cavalry of the Acenian tribe, the more than 10,000 cavalry may not be able to really turn the tide of the battle, but it may not be impossible to make the victory of the Roman army invincible.

Just when Bazel commanded the soldiers of the Tiger Legion to encircle and annihilate the enemy troops on the shore, the Parthian archers from Licinius's army appeared in the distance, looking at the red banner held high by the Parthian archers, Bai Feng understood that Licinius had won!

This can be regarded as a habit of the former Augustan Empire, whenever there is a battle after the result, the soldiers who return with a white flag will indicate a great defeat, and holding a red flag will indicate a great victory;

Both battles were won, and the war between the Roman city and the Essini tribe was fought at this time, and the Roman city was already firmly in control of the final victory, so Bai Feng ordered the sword-wielding squire Maxi beside him:

"Tell the commander of the Bazel army that General Licinius has completely annihilated the enemy's 10,000 cavalry eight miles north, and tell him to leave those enemy troops ashore and end the battle as soon as possible, and we can negotiate with the leader of the Essini tribe on the other side. ”

Maxi immediately rode his horse to the position of the commander of the regiment of Bazel, and after Bazel received the order from Bai Feng from Maxi, without the slightest delay, he ordered the soldiers in front of him:

"The soldiers who have not yet fallen into the entanglement all retreat 50 meters to form a formation to prevent the enemy's counterattack, but do not take the initiative to engage the enemy. ”

After ordering the more than 6,000 soldiers of the Tiger Legion who had not yet entered the battle to slowly retreat, Bazel ordered his guards to escort the heavily tied Eggers to the forefront of the battle, and then he held the short sword in his hand high on Eggers' neck, and threatened the soldiers under Eggers:

"Warriors of the Aceni tribe, your commander is now in my heart, I order you all to immediately lay down your arms and surrender, otherwise, I will kill your commander first, and then lead the army to annihilate you all!"

The landing army of the Aceni tribe did not give in to the threat of Bazel, but they only clenched their weapons and took a few steps back, but they did not fight with the elite soldiers of the Tiger Legion again.

Seeing that the enemy had no obvious reaction, Bazel demonstratively pressed down on the short sword in his hand, and suddenly a blood mark appeared on Eggers's neck, and the dazzling red blood also flowed down.

After it turned out that Bazel's words were not just an empty threat, the soldiers under the command of Eggers had no choice but to lay down their arms and surrender, and when the sparse sword was thrown on the ground, Bazel also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Now that the Esini tribe's river-crossing army has chosen to surrender, there is no need for Bazel to continue to embarrass Eggers, who is still in a coma; while ordering his soldiers to keep the captives in custody, Bazel also asked them to take Eggers down, and ordered that Eggers must be guarded well, and Eggers must not be allowed to escape.

Seeing that the enemy troops on the other side had lost all the boats crossing the river, Bai Feng rode his horse to the enemy prisoners, picked out one prisoner at random, and let him walk to him; looking at this pale young soldier, Bai Feng said with a smile:

"You don't have to be afraid, I'm not a monster, it's impossible to eat you. I have chosen you only because I want you to help me bring a message to your leader on the other side, as long as you bring what I have said, and you yourself will be released by me.

Help me tell your leaders that this battle was won by our city of Rome, and that you have lost not only your own army commander and more than 20,000 infantry, but also your 10,000 cavalry that crossed the river in the northern part of the country.

I know that your tribe still has more than 20,000 warriors to fight, but you have no hope of victory, not to mention that the current Aceni tribe is not only your force, after this defeat, I am afraid it will not be easy for you to survive.

So, I want to have a good talk with the leader of your tribe, if you are willing to negotiate, let your leader come and negotiate with us himself, if you are not willing to negotiate, then you can go back and fend for yourself, I will only wait for you here for half an hour!"

After saying everything he wanted to say, Bai Feng asked Bazel to give the captive a small wooden boat in good condition, and released ten more captives to help him row, after that, Bai Feng, who had relaxed, turned on his horse and quietly waited for the response of the leader of the Aceni tribe.

The ordinary soldiers of the Tiger Legion, who had never had the opportunity to rush to the front line, began to play a role after the battle, in addition to guarding the captured enemy soldiers, they also needed to clean up a messy battlefield, which was the real physical work.

Those soldiers who fought on the front line of the battle from beginning to end, at this time, they all collapsed on the ground to rest without any image, two fierce fights in a row were not easy for them, and they should indeed rest and rest when their physical strength was almost exhausted.
