Now let's go back to the time when Licinius and the Essini cavalry were just beginning to fight, when the river-crossing army led by Eggers himself began a new round of river-crossing attacks.

After defeating the second round of the landing army of the Ethini tribe, Bazel's Tigers did not retreat, but reorganized their battle formation on the spot, and stayed directly on the riverbank, waiting for the enemy to continue the attack.

In order to make the soldiers under the command of Gatus play as effective as possible, Bai Feng let his archers be distributed on the right flank of the Tiger Legion, waiting for an opportunity to attack the enemy army crossing the river, and if there is no opportunity, the archers under the command of Gatus will retreat to the rear.

As for the 1,000 elite soldiers of the Cheetah Legion, they were transferred to the forefront of the Tiger Legion by Bai Feng, and together with the veterans of the Tiger Legion, they faced the landing of the enemy army head-on, which was also an arrangement made by Bai Feng in order to improve the combat effectiveness of the Cheetah Legion.

In this war with the Aceni tribe, both the Tigers and the First Legion acted with their own legions as the main force, except for the Cheetah Legion of Gatus, which was divided into two parts and participated in the two main battles.

The four thousand pikemen of the Cheetah Legion taken by Licinius must have been more than auspicious in Bai Feng's opinion, because Bai Feng knew Licinius's way of using troops, and he would inevitably use the pikemen of the Cheetah Legion to form a phalanx of pikemen to deal with the tens of thousands of cavalry of the Essini tribe.

Therefore, the casualties on Licinius's side must have been quite heavy, and it is really impossible to say how many of the four thousand pikemen of the Cheetah Legion could come back alive, and the archers under the command of Gatus did not need to face the enemy directly, and the last 1,000 elite soldiers remained.

In order to let the soldiers of the Cheetah Legion get more combat training as much as possible, Bai Feng deliberately transferred the thousand elite soldiers of the Cheetah Legion to the forefront of the battle, which can be regarded as Bai Feng's compensation for the Cheetah Legion.

In fact, Bai Feng ordered Antio to personally lead this thousand elite warriors to the forefront, which not only satisfied Antio's belligerent requirements, but also provided a very secure guarantee for the soldiers of the Cheetah Legion.

After everything was ready, Bai Feng sat quietly on his horse, waiting with Yue'er for a new round of attacks launched by the enemy commander himself, and soon, a new battle began again.

After Eggers went into battle himself, in order to land on the West Bank as soon as possible, he even asked his soldiers to drag out some dilapidated wooden boats and put them together, so that the army he personally led to cross the river was as high as 15,000 people!

As soon as the larger fleet departed, it was quickly driven to the west bank, propelled by a tailwind, and Eggers, who had already detected the movement of the defenders on the west bank, chose the frontal line of the Tigers as the landing site for his large army.

On the surface, this was the worst stretch of all the banks that Eggers could land on, but in reality it was not, and whatever Eggers chose, Bazel's Tigers could have blocked Eggers' landing bank in time.

Only Eggers chose the frontal defense line of the Tigers as the landing point, and the archers under the command of Gattus were completely ineffective, which alone shows that Eggers is definitely a qualified commander, but unfortunately he still has too few hole cards in his hand.

Gatus watched helplessly as the enemy's fleet crossed the river far from the range of his archers, so he could only lead his archers to quickly retreat, and the battle on the frontal battlefield was completely handed over to Bazel and Antio.

After Eggers approached the west bank with a large river-crossing fleet in person, he did not rush to land immediately, but gathered the most elite soldiers of all the river-crossing armies at the forefront of the fleet when he was more than 200 meters away from the west bank.

As the first wooden boat docked, the elite warriors of the Essini tribe jumped onto the river bank and pounced on the Tiger Legion and Cheetah Legion soldiers.

From the moment the enemy's first wooden ship landed, Bazel and Antio's attack on all fronts began, and the impatient Antio even ignored the soldiers behind him, drew his short sword at his waist and went straight to the enemy soldiers who landed on the shore.

Possessing the strength of a superior swordsman, Antio was a bloodthirsty beast of war, and with him charging and killing in a dense array of landing enemy forces, the enemy army was unable to organize an effective formation against the Tiger Legion commanded by Bazel.

On the other hand, the Tiger Legion under Bazel has been advancing and retreating in a measured manner and cooperating tacitly to strangle the enemy soldiers who have landed, especially those with extremely rich combat experience, and their presence makes the slaughter of the Tiger Legion in a state of extremely high efficiency.

Eggers, who was still commanding on the wooden ship, could not sit idly by and watch his soldiers being brutally slaughtered by the defenders of the west bank, so he could not bear it anymore and personally led his personal guards to land ashore and kill Antio, who was raging violently.

This time, Antio's side was not his general's guard, but a team of Germanic berserkers that Bai Feng asked him to bring, although the Germanic berserkers' riding ability was not as good as the general's guard, but in terms of land warfare, they were the real kings of land warfare!

In the face of the sudden killing of Eggers and the soldiers behind him, Antio was fearless to meet him, and the Germanic berserkers on the side also followed Antio to meet the warriors who rushed up behind Eggers.

Eggers and Antio are of equal strength, and the combat effectiveness of the two is also half a catty, but Eggers is a veteran over fifty years old after all, and the summoned Antio is at the peak of thirty years old, and there is still a big gap between the explosiveness of the two.

Seeing that the enemy's main general, Eggers, was personally involved in the battle, Bazel, who was good at seizing the opportunity, also ordered his soldiers to charge freely, and personally drew the short sword at his waist and joined the battle between Antio and Eggers.

Bazel and Antio are both High Swordsmen, and even if Eggers has the strength to be only one step away from the Sword Master, he will not be able to resist the combined attack of the two High Swordsmen, especially since these two High Swordsmen are still in the prime of their physical strength.

Frankly speaking, Eggers did not expect that the defenders of the West Bank would have so many powerful existences, whether it was the strength of the Germanic berserkers, or the strength of Bazel and Antio, which made Eggers's heart bitter, and now he already understood the outcome of this war, and he no longer had much hope for the cavalry troops that had not appeared in the north for a long time.

After trying his best to resist more than ten minutes under the joint attack of Baazel and Antio, Eggers finally accidentally exposed a flaw in the back, and Baazel used this flaw to stab the short sword in the back of Eggers;
