- Franzisco Petrarch (the first humanist of the Renaissance, known as the "father of the Renaissance")

When Bai Feng led his army to land on the beach of the Werther tribe, the coalition troops led by Eggers had completed the annihilation of the Werther tribe army in the border area and began to advance into the hinterland of the Werther tribe east of the river.

The frontal attacking army led by Bazel had just defeated the second army of the Werther tribe, a huge army of 40,000 infantry and 40,000 cavalry.

The several armies of the Werther tribe in the Hedong region, which were leaderless, were all broken one by one by the army under the command of Eggers in the early stage of the war, which was a smooth coincidence of chance;

After being defeated by Bazel's main army, the Werther army, which had broken the Lion Legion, quickly withdrew to the rear to join up with the other Werther tribes' armies, and after several days of reorganization and assembly, there was a second Werther army that took the initiative to counterattack.

The secret mission of severely destroying the Lion Legion was completed by Bazel by mistake, and since Upton, who is the leader of the Lion Legion, cannot escape the post-war investigation, then Bazel has no need to hide his strength according to the original plan.

The elite army of Bazel gathered the two most elite Macedonian phalanx legions and a specially trained field legion in Rome, and the total strength of these three legions was not much, only more than 35,000 soldiers, but the actual combat effectiveness was extremely strong.

The brave and combative Bazel was himself a wise and brave general, and his command style was extremely sharp in attack and flexible in defense, and in the face of a large enemy force that swept again, he chose the most direct head-to-head decisive battle.

With two slow-moving Macedonian phalanx legions as a frontal defensive force, and a slightly more agile Tiger Legion as a mobile force, this is the battlefield deployment that Bazel used to meet the 80,000 enemy army, which is simple and effective.

The Werther army, which was completely ignorant of the Macedonian phalanx, charged the defensive formation of Bazel's army with more than 20,000 barbarian light cavalry at the beginning of the war.

Almost identical tactics, an army of the Werther tribe in the Hedong region used cavalry to chase the infantry, and severely damaged the Assam legion, while the main army of the Werther tribe in the Hexi region buried nearly 20,000 cavalry troops in vain.

The strong phalanx composed of dense spears is not at all a battle formation that the barbarian light cavalry can break through, especially the left and right flanks of the phalanx are also distributed with a large number of longbowmen and elite infantry, and the existence of these auxiliary soldiers has become a nightmare for the enemy cavalry!

The cavalry units of the Werther tribe, which were desperately trying to break through the phalanx in front of Bazel's army, were in the midst of an indomitable assault when they were first attacked by a rain of arrows from the longbowmen, and then attacked by elite infantry from both flanks.

Unable to break through the phalanx of the Roman pikemen in the front, the left and right flanks were surrounded by the Roman infantry, and the continuous rain of arrows from the Roman longbowmen, the 20,000-strong army of the Werther tribe was wiped out in just forty minutes of warm-up battle.

The failure of the cavalry charge forced the enemy infantry who rushed up to face the Roman army, and the tacit cooperation of the pike, longbowmen, and elite infantry kept all the enemy troops who wanted to rush up from the battle formation.

Taking advantage of such a favorable opportunity, Bazel, who was good at grasping the fighters, split his Tiger Legion in two in time, and at the same time outflanked the enemy's attacking forces from the left and right flanks of his own army.

When the army of the Werther tribe, which had been fighting for a long time, was ready to retreat, the outflanked Tigers bit the enemy troops who wanted to retreat from both flanks, and at this time, the Macedonian phalanx, which had held out for almost the entire battle, could finally exert their offensive strength!

The Macedonian phalanx, which was not in the same formation, advanced little by little with their long spears in their hands at a slow pace, and the Macedonian phalanx, like a heavy bulldozer, was unstoppable and ran over the enemy who could not retreat.

At this point in the battle, the defeated Werther tribe actually had no need to fight, and Bazel, who was in control, did not want to kill them all, so a new round of persuasion began.

In the end, less than 30,000 of the 80,000 regrouped troops of the Werther tribe managed to evacuate the battlefield, and the other 50,000 remained on the battlefield forever, of course, more than 20,000 of them were captured by the Bazel army.

In two successive victories, Bazel captured nearly 50,000 soldiers of the Werther tribe, and such a large number of prisoners greatly slowed down the advance of Bazel's army, and even became a potential destabilizing factor for Bazel's army.

In order to accommodate the captives, Bazel had to spare ten days from his already tight schedule to send the captives to the Roman barracks, where they were guarded by legions of lions, who were repairing in the barracks.

Bazel wasted his best time to attack, and missed the opportunity to drive straight into the hinterland of the Hexi region of the Werther tribe, and by the time he reorganized his army and advanced again, the reacting Werther tribe was already recruiting troops on a large scale.

In just ten days in the blink of an eye, the Werther tribe recruited more than 200,000 new soldiers from the more than 1.1 million people in the Hexi region, and together with the tens of thousands of troops evacuated from the battlefield before, the number of troops that the Werther tribe could put into the war reached an astonishing 250,000!

Not only that, but since the day of the second defeat, the number of new recruits of the Werther tribe has been on the rise, in other words, the available army of the Werther tribe is 250,000 today, and it is possible that there will be 260,000 more tomorrow.

The Werther tribes, whose war potential has been fully aroused, are using their demographic superiority to fight a real all-out war against the attacking Bazel army, and this is the barbarian tribe with strong folk customs, and all the people are always more than just an adjective.

In addition, the soldiers of Bazel's army were not immortal warriors, and they also paid a considerable number of casualties in the battle, and in the previous two battles, the number of soldiers of Bazel's three legions was reduced from the original 35,000 to the current 28,000.

With 28,000 Roman troops against 250,000 barbarian warriors of the Werther tribe, a difference of nearly ten times the difference in quantity, more than offset the qualitative superiority of the Roman army, the balance of victory was already tilting in favor of the Werther tribes.

Just when the third battle between the army of Bazel and the army of the Werther tribe was about to start, the landing army led by Bai Feng finally landed on the coast of the Werther tribe; on the night of the landing, there were battlefield ghosts who sent Bai Feng a battle report from the Hedong and Hexi regions.
