"Chapter 39: The Battle of Cádiz VII"
Everything in the world is in a hurry, short-lived, impermanent, and we have to endure all kinds of physical and mental hardships, sufferings, and endless calamities; we human beings are in the middle of all things in heaven and earth, and we are a part of all these things, and we are really weak and powerless, and we can neither resist the invasion of the outside world, nor endure many tortures.

At the sound of this sudden trumpet, 15,000 soldiers led by Nabazani launched an attack from the rear of Francis's army, and Francis, who was attacked on his back, finally lost his composure, and immediately sent his last troops to turn around to meet Nabazani's army.
From the moment Nabazzani's army appeared, Francis knew that there was no hope for the 20,000 wounded soldiers and barracks behind him, and even more helplessly, his army could not win the war.
With the army of Rome storming his army of 40,000 and Nabazzani's army attacking his reserve of 10,000, Francis, who was left with only a few dozen guards, could no longer change the outcome of the war.
The appearance of Nabazzani's troops, who joined the battle in time, not only brought greater combat pressure to Francis's army, but also caused the morale of Francis's soldiers to drop to the bottom, and the army of Rome could clearly feel the weakness of the enemy army.
The more the combat effectiveness of Francis's army declined, the more courageous the fighting Roman army became, and the Roman soldiers who went forward and succeeded them continued to fight out of the valley of Cádiz, and even Licinius's Roman youth army joined the battle!
However, it was not easy for the Roman youth army under Licinius to really fight the enemy, and there were other legionnaires in front of the young soldiers, who could not reach the forefront of the battle for a while.
The fighting on the battlefield became more and more intense, and the retreating Francis army suffered more and more heavy casualties, and even with Francis's personal command and horse encouragement, the defeated Francis army almost collapsed.
Seeing that the situation on the battlefield was getting more and more out of control, Francis, who had all his efforts in vain, quickly withdrew from the battlefield under the escort of his personal guards;
But he did not leave Francis with the slightest thought, and he even wished that Francis would flee quickly, because the total number of enemy troops on the battlefield was still more than 45,000, and the army of Rome would have to pay a heavy price if the enemy army was to be completely defeated.
If Francis chooses to flee from the battle, it will undoubtedly be the best outcome for the city of Rome, and when Francis completely flees the battlefield, the army of Rome can use this to completely break the will of Francis's army to fight.
As for whether the escaped Francis will become a hidden danger for Queen Boudicca's rule over the Aceni Kingdom, Adrien and his battlefield ghosts will give Bai Feng a satisfactory answer, and at the same time as Francis left, Adrien also set off under Bai Feng's orders.
It wasn't until Francis's figure disappeared from Bai Feng's line of sight that Bai Feng, who was full of ambition, ordered the attendants around him:
"Maxi, Darnell, the two of you immediately go and inform the commanders who are directing the battle in front of them, tell them that the enemy commander Francis has fled from the battle, and let them immediately organize the whole army to spread the news and strive to surrender all the enemy forces on the battlefield!"
"Yes!" Maxi and Darnell immediately complied.
Maxi and Darnell each went to the battlefield to find the Legion Commanders and relay Bai Feng's orders to them, and from the first Commander Bazel to receive the order, his Tigers soldiers soon shouted a new slogan:
"The enemy commander has fled! Our army has won a great victory! The enemy commander has fled! Our army has won a great victory......
The shouts of the Tigers were quickly echoed by the other legions of Rome, and before Maxi and Darnell could be informed, all the soldiers of Rome on the battlefield shouted this slogan, which overwhelmed the enemy.
Naturally, Francis's soldiers could not have believed that his Majesty would flee with a few slogans from the army of Rome, but when they really looked back for his Majesty, they found that there was really no trace of Francis on the battlefield!
The cruel reality made the soldiers under Francis's command forget the ruthlessness of the battlefield and even looked blankly at the empty rear, and the legions of the Roman city who were good at seizing the opportunity did not take the opportunity to attack, but turned the slogan of their soldiers into this:
"Lay down your arms......, surrender and die!"
Gradually, the soldiers of Rome throughout the battlefield stopped their attacks and turned to the deafening slogans of surrender to intimidate the soldiers under Francis's command, and the soldiers of Francis, who were desperate for battle, quickly made their choice.
When the first warrior to throw his sword appeared, surrender became the only option for the Estheni army on the battlefield, and even the enemy soldiers who were fighting fiercely with Nabazani chose to lay down their arms and surrender to the army of Rome.
The army of Nabazani, who arrived on the battlefield for less than half an hour, did not dare to take prisoners with the army of the city of Rome, and all the troops of Francis who surrendered were received and collected by the army of the city of Rome, and the task of cleaning up the battlefield was also completed by the army of the city of Rome.
The Cheetah Legion, which had suffered the heaviest casualties, was temporarily withdrawn to the mouth of the valley to recuperate, Perris's Longbow Force was sent to clean up the battlefield, and Bazel's Tigers and Eggers' Eagle Legion were responsible for guarding more than 45,000 prisoners.
Just when Bai Feng was busy commanding the commanders of the various legions, Nabazani came to Bai Feng with more than a dozen of his personal guard cavalry;
"General Nabazani, we haven't seen each other for two months, I remember the last time we met, you and I were still your mortal opponents on the battlefield, but I didn't expect that this time it was you and I working together to deal with Francis, this is really unpredictable!"
"How dare I, a veteran under the command of Queen Boudicca, compare with His Excellency the Doge? The brutal and unkind Francis only usurped the throne, and only Queen Boudicca, whom His Majesty King Prasus personally admitted, is the new king of our Aceni Kingdom!"
"Haha, General Nabazani is indeed a loyal general under the command of Queen Boudicca! When Francis is captured, I will take you and General Assam's army back to the army, and then you will welcome Queen Boudicca back to the kingdom of Aceni to preside over the overall situation. ”
"Thank you, Your Excellency, for your dedication to our kingdom of Aceni, and you and the warriors of the city of Rome will be our most honored guests!"
The hypocrisy with Nabazani did not delay Bai Feng for much time, Bai Feng would not mind how much careful thinking Nabazani had in his heart, and with the defeat of Francis, the kingdom of Esini was already destined to become a vassal state of the city of Rome.
