- Cesare Beccaria (Italian economist, jurist and penal reformer)

The second assembly point of the Vitte tribe was only a day's way from the first assembly point, and the Roman army, which had set out early in the morning, surrounded the camp of 40,000 troops in the evening.

The first victory was won by the lucky Roman army that surrounded the leaderless Werther army, and Lady Luck would not always be behind one side, and the main general of the Werther tribe arrived at the barracks just yesterday.

Although the new general had not yet fully taken control of his army, his presence naturally became the backbone of all the independent Werther tribes' armies, and it was destined to be a fierce battle.

From the Yamato Empire to the Werther tribes, the two legions of the Roman army paid a total of about 1,000 dead men, and the presence of the field doctor Huamu allowed those wounded soldiers to quickly recover their combat effectiveness, but they could not resurrect those who died in battle.

Combined with the division of troops to stay in the castle of Nine Houses and guard the capture of the Vitus tribes, this dispersed part of the strength of the Roman army, and a series of battle losses and divisions reduced the size of the Roman army by nearly 10,000, and the total strength also fell to 15,000.

Among the 15,000 elite divisions, not only Licinius's First Army and Antio's Second Army, but also the personal guard battalion led by Maxi and Darnell, you know, the total strength of the personal guard battalion is also nearly 2,000 people.

The Guards Battalion, based on four initial Roman youth troops, contains all the special units summoned from the temple in Rome, and these top units with strong combat effectiveness and unique characteristics are actually the most powerful troops in Rome.

Seleucid Ironclad Cavalry, Spartan Heavy Infantry, Germanic Berserkers, Macedonian Royal Pikemen, Macedonian Royal Cavalry (Companion Cavalry), ...... These are the top combat units of the major factions in the Roman Total War!

Of course, in addition to these regular troops, Webster's spellcaster troops and Ivan's shadow killer troops are also trump cards in Bai Feng's hands that can be put into battle at any time, and in general, Bai Feng's strength is still quite strong.

The 40,000 troops of the Werther tribe, commanded by the main general, faced with the 15,000 Roman troops surrounding their camp, it was normal for them to take the initiative to attack, and the first troops that Bai Feng put into battle were the four Roman youth army and the shadow killer army.

The shield phalanx formed by the four initial Roman youth armies was stronger than the shield phalanx of the Roman legions, and the Werther army who were blocked in the barracks had to break through the narrow barracks gate in order to fight their way out of the barracks.

After more than half an hour of fierce fighting, the number of casualties soared to more than 3,000 Werther tribesmen, and finally retreated into the barracks.

The four Roman youth armies who entered the battle only killed more than 30 soldiers, and the shadow killers only suffered a few wounds, and the casualty ratio between the enemy and the enemy reached a terrifying 100 to 1, and the fierce fighting power of the Roman army completely shocked the army of the Vitus tribe.

The Werther tribal army, which was cowering in the barracks, temporarily abandoned the plan to break out of the barracks, but Bai Feng had no intention of wasting time here, and at midnight on the day of the siege of the barracks, all the spellcasters under Webster's command were gathered by Bai Feng.

The forty casters were evenly divided into two teams, protected by Germanic berserkers and Spartan hoplites, and when they came within fifty meters of the camp of the Werther Horde, the night attack began in earnest.

Licinius's legion followed the Germanic berserkers, while Antio's legion followed the Spartan hoplites, and as soon as the casters blasted open the barracks with their spells, the hoplites and berserkers rushed into the barracks through the gap.

Before the patrolling Werther warriors could react, the menacing Germanic berserkers and Spartan hoplites cut down the patrolling warriors near the gap, followed by the armies of Licinius and Antio.

Two Roman legions opened gaps in the left and right flanks of the enemy camp and entered the barracks, and the Macedonian royal pikemen and the Roman youth army of the personal guard camp re-blocked the gate of the general camp, and the sleeping army of the Vitus tribe suffered a devastating blow.

In the second half of the night, the numerically inferior Roman army quickly routed more than 30,000 enemy troops in the barracks, and the stunned warriors of the Werther tribe became prisoners of the Roman army in their own barracks.

In the early morning of the next day, after all the battles had ended, Bai Feng, who had counted the results of the battle, realized how easy it was for him to win last night; of the more than 36,000 soldiers of the Werther tribe, less than 6,000 were killed in the battle, and the remaining 30,000 people chose to surrender in the chaos.

The price paid by the Roman army was only a few hundred soldiers killed, and those wounded, most of whom were minor wounded, could soon be regained under the treatment of Huamu.

The third assembly point of the Werther tribe was in the other direction of the first assembly point, and the Roman army had to turn around and return to the first assembly point in order to attack the enemy army at this last assembly point.

Non-stop, Bai Feng led the army to return to the first assembly point with the newly captured more than 30,000 Werther tribesmen, and imprisoned these prisoners in the first assembly point, together with the more than 20,000 Werther tribesmen captured in the last war.

The detention of more than 50,000 prisoners of war of the Vitte tribe with a Roman army of less than 3,000 men was a very risky thing in itself, and coupled with the fierce and manic nature of the barbarian warriors, it was tantamount to looking for death.

However, after Bai Feng concocted an unassailable lie, the more than 50,000 prisoners of war took up residence in the barracks without any resistance, because Bai Feng warned the captives that the camp where their families were located had been completely occupied by the Roman army.

Fearlessness is indeed the character of a barbarian warrior, and the safety of their family is something above their character, and no warrior is willing to gamble with the lives of his family, and their love for their family goes beyond loyalty to the Werther tribe.

After settling the more than 50,000 captives in the barracks, the weary Roman army continued its march to the third assembly point of the Vitte tribe, which finally arrived at the assembly point before the upper echelons of the Vitte tribe were discovered.

The 30,000 Wit tribesmen in the camp at the assembly point were ordered to leave the camp and advance northward, and they fought an encounter with the Roman army that came in a hurry that everyone expected, and after eight hours of hard fighting, Bai Feng won the third battle!
