Unless a person realizes the meaning of life, his abilities or gifts are used to emphasize the self and its desires.

- Krishnamurti (the greatest spiritual teacher of the twentieth century)

"General. Rodriguez, who had been by Bai Feng's side, saw the heavy casualties of the pikes and suggested to Bai Feng: "General Cabitus's pikes have suffered nearly half of the casualties, do you want the fierce battalion behind to rush up to the top?"

"Not yet. Bai Feng, who was not sure how long the Spear Legion could last, thought about it and refused: "I believe that with General Cabitus, the Spear Legion can hold out for at least an hour and a half." ”

"But the general, the two pikemen wings and the two infantry wings of the pikemen's most elite have been crippled. Rodriguez, who had a pessimistic view of the battle situation, hesitated in his tone: "Can the elite depleted spear army still hold out for an hour and a half?"

"Why not?" Bai Feng, who was still confident, half explained to Rodriguez, and half cheered himself up: "The attacking Red Banner also suffered heavy casualties, their situation is no stronger than that of the Spear Legion, and it is not yet known who will win and who will lose." ”

As long as Bai Feng thought that the Lancer Legion could hold on, worried generals such as Rodriguez could only watch the Spear Legion continue to fight, but General Leonidas, who had more confidence in the Spear Legion than Bai Feng.

If the main army of the Lancers and Legions of Fire were to be routed by the enemy, Leonidas's Spartan Legion would be the first reinforcement to do so, and it is clear that Leonidas did not believe that such a thing was possible.

As the first Spartan heavy infantry centurion-turned-system general, Leonidas never believed in the newly formed Lance Legion, and compared to the Lancer Legion, which was not worth mentioning in battle, Cabitus was the one Leonidas' true trust.

This is why when Rodriguez and other generals proposed to Bai Feng to reinforce the Lancers, Leonidas's face did not even fluctuate, he believed that every Spartan warrior was a warrior who would never take a step back on the battlefield.

Having killed a large number of enemy cavalry, Cabitus finally left the forefront of the battle between the two armies under the escort of his general's guard, but the departure of Cabitus was not an exhaustive escape, but the increasingly unstable wings urgently needed his personal command.

Of the four hoplite wings of the Lancer Corps, only two were barely well-trained, and the other two wings, which were formed halfway due to the lack of horses and cavalry, were much inferior in terms of training, and their combat effectiveness was naturally inferior to the two wings that were originally formed.

In order to ensure that his army would not collapse at the slightest touch, Cabitus deliberately put the elite of the entire legion at the forefront, and the first two lines of defense of the reinforced pike-legged corps not only blocked the frontal attack of the red flag, but also consumed a large number of elite soldiers of the legion.

The two pikemen wings that faced the enemy's cavalry charge were completely crippled and more than half of the other were killed, and the two infantry wings that desperately covered the two flanks of the pikemen defense line also suffered extremely heavy casualties, and were almost on the verge of collapse at any moment.

Even the relatively elite two infantry wings could no longer support it, and how long could Cabitus expect the remaining two wings that had just joined the battle to carry it? In desperation, Cabitus had no choice but to personally rush to the flank and command his men to stabilize the defensive line.

Unlike the spear lines of the pikemen in the middle, the lines of the infantry on both flanks relied on their flesh and blood to resist the onslaught of the enemy cavalry, and if it were not for the fact that the enemy cavalry was not the main target of attack, I am afraid that they would have collapsed long ago.

Even so, their morale had fallen to a very dangerous level, and before Cabitus, who had hurried to the left flank, had time to organize his men to rebuild the defensive line, the unabated enemy cavalry rushed in.

The Red Banner Lord, Urgudebele, was naturally indifferent to the mass death of his cavalry, but it was too late to withdraw from the battle, and he had to fight as hard as he could in order to win as much as possible.

Wearing the Legion's commander's armor, Urgudai has always been the focus of Urgude's attack, even if the spear defense line around Gapitus is the most difficult place to break through, Urgudai, who will not give up, still has not changed his idea of attacking the spearhead.

As Capitus suddenly left the spear line, Urgude, sensing the appearance of the fighters, immediately ordered all the cavalry to turn to attack the left flank of the pike.

Although under the personal command of Capitus, how could the hoplites on the left flank of the Lancers, who had suffered heavy casualties, withstand the frantic onslaught of the enemy cavalry? A single wave of red flag-studded charges inflicted heavy damage on the left flank of the Lancers, which had increased in pressure.

The death of a large number of hoplites on the left flank not only made the entire left flank defense line precarious, but even the crossbowmen phalanx behind the left flank defense line were extremely seriously threatened.

The hoplites on the left flank, who were already exhausted and suffered heavy casualties, turned and ran backwards in complete disregard of the overall situation as soon as they heard the order to retreat from Cabitus.

The hoplites turned around and ran in a haphazard manner, leading to the complete collapse of the entire left flank defense, and taking advantage of the situation, the enemy cavalry in the hoplite group succeeded in turning the retreat of the pikes into a rout, and began to further expand their gains.

After losing the cover of their own left flank defense, the pikemen's main pikemen's defense line was instantly disrupted by the red-eyed enemy cavalry from the flank; without the advantage of the pikemen's phalanx, the chaotic pikemen quickly collapsed, completely unable to organize an effective counterattack.

From the collapse of the left flank, to the middle of the spear line, to the right flank, in just twenty minutes, the excellent situation fought by Capitus at the cost of nearly 10,000 soldiers turned sharply into a defeated battle.

Cabitus, who made a wrong move and lost everything, retreated with the hoplites around him, and from time to time turned around and tried to kill the enemy cavalry that was catching up, but unfortunately, how could he alone change a battle that was already lost.

The remnants of the Lancers, in disarray, no longer obeyed the commands of their commanders at all levels, nor cared about the orders shouted by Cabitus, and they were ignorant of their fleeing lives, exposing their backs to the pursuing enemy cavalry.

The defeated army, the panicked deserters, the ruined defensive line, all of which were extremely desired by the Red Banner cavalry, and the belligerent took advantage of their speed to constantly kill the backward deserters one by one, and then continued to pursue the deserters who ran not far ahead.

At first, the Lancers' line was a full 800 meters away from the Death Battalion's defense, but now the distance has been reduced to 300 meters, but the remaining Lancers in the rout have less than 6,000 men.
