- Thucydides (ancient Greek historian, philosopher and general, known as the father of the "science of history")
With Bai Feng's wonderful performance, the morale of the Roman army naturally improved by leaps and bounds, while the morale of the Essini tribe army on the other side of the river suddenly dropped to the lowest point, and it could even be described as having no fighting spirit at all.
Although Queen Boudicca and General Eggers had long been prepared for the inevitable defeat of the first attack of their own army, they did not expect that the 10,000 troops they had sent out would be beaten back without even going up to the west bank.
The 10,000-strong army that crossed the river returned with less than 7,000 soldiers left, and more than 3,000 of their own soldiers were killed in the Cangluo River before they could formally engage the enemy, a result that exceeded the worst expectations of Boudicca and Eggers.
But there was no turning back from the bow, and at this time, the 10,000 elite cavalry of the other road must have already crossed the Cangluo River, and it was impossible to give up this attack now, after all, the cavalry troops along the way were the most elite troops under the command of Queen Boudicca.
Neither Queen Boudicca nor General Eggers had the courage to abandon the 10,000 Plasus elite cavalry, so they had to launch another attack on the west bank!
Perhaps the heavens were also moved by the stubborn Queen Boudicca, and the strong wind that had been blowing on the surface of the Cangluo River slowly changed the original direction of the wind, and began to blow from east to west, which was a very favorable situation for the army of the Aceni tribe, and the queen Boudicca, who was good at taking advantage of the opportunity, took the opportunity to encourage her warriors who were about to fight:
"Warriors of the Aceni tribe, it is impossible for our great goddess of war to be on the side of those invaders, and now that Lord Belona has changed the direction of the wind for us, it is time for us to wash away the shame of our defeat with the blood of our enemies!
Warriors from the great Esceni tribe, do you have the confidence to use your sword to open up new lands for our Essini people?
"Victory, victory, victory......"
The power of faith is always strong, especially the belief based on some rather mysterious things, which can bring people to almost crazy faith, such as the army of the Essini tribe in front of them, after witnessing the change of the wind direction on the river, and hearing their beloved queen raise the name of Belonna, the goddess of war, their previous fears were completely swept away!
The reinvigorated warriors of the Aceni tribe once again gathered 8,000 men and began a second attack across the river, while the Roman army on the west bank was puzzled by the events on the east bank.
Well, in fact, what happened on the east bank has nothing to do with the Roman army on the west bank, and for the Roman army soldiers on the west bank, they are still immersed in the victory just now and have not come out.
If in the past, those barbarian warriors from various tribes were loyal to the city of Rome for survival and their families, then they now look at Bai Feng with deep admiration and respect, this is the simple barbarian warriors.
Their nature is to worship powerful warriors, and as long as you are strong enough, then you will be respected by everyone else, even if you were once their enemy, as long as you are strong enough to conquer them, they will still respect you.
The soldiers of the Cheetah Legion and the Tiger Legion are not the systematic army recruited by Rome City, even if there are some warriors of the Tasya tribe, the Tasya tribe itself was once the enemy of the Roman City; these soldiers who were originally enemies of the Roman City finally became the followers of Bai Feng himself at this moment after becoming the soldiers of the Roman City!
When Bai Feng found out that the army of the Aceni tribe on the other bank had launched another attack across the river, he also clearly noticed the change in the direction of the wind on the river, but he didn't think that this change in wind direction would bring any changes to this battle, it was completely impossible!
But one thing is true, that is, the depleted spiritual power in Bai Feng's body is no longer enough to support him to continue to use the Starfall Divine Bow and Starfall Wind Chasing Arrow to attack the enemy, considering the morale problem, Bai Feng can't tell this fact to the soldiers under his command.
In order to hide people's eyes, Bai Feng deliberately shouted an order to his sword-wielding attendant Maxi behind him: "Maxi, you go over there immediately and tell the Captain Bazel of the Tiger Legion that I will hand over this round of enemy troops to his Tiger Legion to solve, so that he will not let me down!"
After pretending to give this order, Bai Feng ordered Gatus in front of him: "Captain Gatus, after this round of enemy troops is close to within thirty meters, you will immediately lead the army to retreat to the rear of the Tiger Legion, it's time for our vanguard Tigers to show their strength, otherwise our Captain Bazel may blame us for not giving him a chance to perform!"
Bai Feng's humorous words naturally made Gatus and his soldiers laugh immediately, because in the eyes of these ordinary soldiers, with a god of war like Bai Feng sitting on the battlefield, this war is completely a stage for their own army!
After the order was delivered, Maxi returned to the back of Bai Feng, and soon, the enemy crossing force was again within two hundred meters of the west bank, and the archers under the command of Gatus began their volley in order.
This time, after only six rounds of arrow rain were fired, the enemy army with a smooth wind and water reached within thirty meters of the river bank, and Gatus quickly led his soldiers to run to the rear and retreated, and Bai Feng also led Antio to retreat a little more than two hundred meters.
The Aceni tribe's river-crossing army, which thought that they had really been blessed by the goddess of war, immediately launched a frenzied charge in the direction of Bai Feng after landing on the river bank, wanting to find Bai Feng, the silver-armored god of death, to get back the shame of the defeat just now!
It's a pity that they didn't have a chance to confront Bai Feng head-on, just when they began to land, the Tiger Legion led by Bazel himself had already pounced on them like a tiger descending from the mountain, they only rushed forward less than fifty meters away, and they fell into the attack of thousands of elites of the Tiger Legion, and they couldn't push any further forward!
The fighting power of the Tiger Legion is not blown, especially the more than 3,000 soldiers under the command of Bazel, who are truly battle-hardened veterans, and their attack on the landing army of the Aesini tribe is simply a powerful attack like a devastating one, and soon about 2,000 or so landing enemy troops are completely annihilated on the riverbank!
