The battle on the entire battlefield has been in a state of anxiety, Francis's mid-lane superior army has not been able to break through the Roman army's mid-lane spear phalanx, especially after Bai Feng sent the battlefield ghost and 10,000 reinforcements, the battle formation of the Roman army has become more stable.

However, the successful blockade of the central army did not allow Bai Feng's plan to be carried out smoothly, because the right flank army under the command of Eggers was unable to defeat Assam's 40,000 army for a long time, and there was no possibility of victory or defeat in a short time.

The fierce fighting not only made it difficult for the Assam army, but also faltered the three legions of the Roman army, and the combat effectiveness of the two sides was almost different, and both sides paid a heavy price for casualties.

In an hour-long battle, 45,000 Roman soldiers paid the price of more than 5,000 killed, and their result was that the enemy army dropped from 40,000 to about 30,000.

The only breakthrough in the three-way army was the left-wing army under the command of Bai Feng himself, and the attacking forces of Atabaz were never able to break free from the quagmire and storm the hills, but were completely routed under the rain of arrows from the longbowmen!

An hour and a half after the outbreak of the war, more than two-thirds of the Atabaz troops finally collapsed, and 10,000 longbowmen wiped out more than 20,000 enemy soldiers with two pots of arrows, and the enemy lost more than 20,000 casualties instead of more than 20,000 casualties!

The wounded and ineffective warriors under the command of Atabaz had no chance to withdraw, and the area covered by the rain of arrows was drowned out by wave after wave of arrows, from four hundred meters from the hill to two hundred meters from the hill, the area was all densely packed with arrows, like a forest of arrows.

The furious and furious Atabaz was killed on the spot by the 27th wave of arrows and arrows of the longbowmen when he desperately approached a place two hundred meters away from the hill, and even Atabaaz, who had the strength of a high-ranking great swordsman, could not resist it, let alone other ordinary warriors.

Although the death of the main general can greatly arouse the hearts of the enemy soldiers in a short period of time, no matter how boiling the blood is, it can only flow in vain when it encounters an impenetrable rain of arrows, which is the sorrow of the weak.

Empty of blood, but unable to change the cruel reality, trying to kill the enemy in front of him, but only to fall under the enemy's arrows, Atabaz's death caused his soldiers to launch a decisive charge, but unfortunately it was only a worthless sacrifice.

The two hundred meters long trench between the three warriors of the Atabaz and the longbowmen of the Roman army were almost all wounded, and finally collapsed after losing the commander and command of the main general.

The enemy warriors who had been charging frantically before had now turned around and fled, and the longbowmen under the command of Peris still methodically stuck the third pot of arrows they had just brought into the muddy water under their feet, and then drew new arrows and continued to shoot.

The fleeing enemy army exposed their backs to Peris's longbowmen, and the merciless Peris once again gave the order to shoot mercilessly, and none of the enemy warriors who had managed to escape the quagmire were able to escape the range of the longbowmen.

After nearly two hours of fighting, the left flank of the Roman army did not pay the price of a single soldier or a single casualty, and completely annihilated 30,000 elite soldiers on the enemy's right flank, and even the enemy's right flank army, Atabaz, did not escape the rain of arrows from the longbowmen.

It was a war of longbowmen, and no other army could do as well as the longbowmen, and from the moment of the total annihilation of the enemy's right flank, Eggers' right flank was no longer the decisive factor in the battle.

The reason why Francis, the commander of Aceni's army, would sit back and watch his right-wing army be wiped out was because he had no way to break the longbow and arrow rain of the Roman army, let alone save the warriors who were struggling in the rain of arrows.

Francis is not Atabaz, he is not an irascible and impulsive warrior, he is a persistent and calm King Aceni, blindly saving less than 10,000 warriors who are caught in a rain of arrows, only to increase the casualties.

Francis, who was struggling in his heart, still defeated his impulse with reason, and sat back and watched the annihilation of the 30,000 army on his right flank;

The loss of the enemy's right flank army meant that the enemy's left flank army could turn to reinforce their central army, which was a disaster for Nabazani's army, which had difficulty breaking through the enemy's frontal defense line for a while!

Forced to do so, Francis immediately ordered the 20,000 soldiers around him to immediately enter the battle to reinforce the Nabazani troops who were fighting hard, and on the other hand, he ordered the 30,000 foot cavalry to turn around and retreat.

As the king of the Aceni Kingdom, Francis still understands the trade-off, and it is almost impossible for his side to win the current war, even if he can break through the enemy's frontal defense line in time, it is difficult to resist the attack of the enemy's longbow troops.

The muddy ground is the perfect natural barrier for the enemy archers, and as long as they fight in this quagmire, victory has almost become impossible in Francis's mind, in fact, what Francis is most puzzled about is the range of the enemy archers.

He couldn't understand why enemy archers could shoot arrows up to 400 meters away and still maintain great lethality, which was a strange and brutal reality that subverted Francis's worldview.

Nabazani, who had suffered nearly 10,000 casualties in the army, after receiving 20,000 reinforcements sent by Francis, directly threw 20,000 troops into the attack on the two flanks of the enemy's pike.

After Perris's archers wiped out the enemy's right flank army, Bai Feng ordered Peris to immediately bring arrows with his longbowmen and approach the mid-lane army on the right to reinforce the mid-lane army that was attacking the enemy on three sides.

Bai Feng originally planned to use 10,000 longbowmen to completely defeat the enemy's main army in the middle lane, but Peris objected to it, on the grounds that the 8,000 temporary longbowmen were no longer able to fight, and only 2,000 elite longbowmen could still fight.

Well, with Perris's opposition, Bai Feng reacted, and these temporary longbowmen had already fired fifty rounds of arrows in a row, even if they were all barbarian warriors with amazing arm strength, this was their limit, and they really couldn't afford to fight anymore.

Disillusioned, Bai Feng had to leave the 8,000 temporary longbowmen to rest on the spot, while he led Peris's 2,000 longbowmen and the other three troops who had never had a chance to participate in the battle, and began to turn around and move closer to the middle army on the right.
