"Chapter Ninety-Four: The Decisive Battle"

When a crime does not seem likely to cause harm to oneself, its impact is not sufficient to provoke public outrage against the perpetrator. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

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

The roaring ironclad cavalry and companion cavalry smashed into the army from behind the Werther tribe army, and the unprepared Werther tribe army took the blow unsuspectingly, but this was only the beginning!

The impact of the ironclad cavalry is incomparable, and it is also extremely fierce, and all the Werther tribesmen who stand in front of the ironclad cavalry cannot escape the fate of being trampled to death, and the battlefield at this moment belongs to the hoplites.

The leading ironclad cavalry was responsible for carving a passage out of the Werther army, followed by the companion cavalry, who continued to tear the passage apart, and the strength of the eight hoplites was proved by the blood of the Werther warriors.

The rapid charge of the ironclad cavalry and the cavalry of the companions not only dealt a heavy blow to the army of the Virtus tribe, but also greatly relieved the pressure on the army of Bazel, and the situation on the battlefield began to change completely from this moment.

The charge of nearly 1,000 heavily armed cavalry was only the first step in the attack of the White Peaks, and soon the longbowmen of the Licinian and Antio legions were within 400 meters of the Werther tribesmen's army.

The rain of arrows from the 8,000 longbowmen was indeed a major blow to the morale of the Werther tribesmen, who were already braving the rain of arrows to attack Bazel's army, and in order to change this passivity, they had to send a force of 20,000 men to turn back and attack the army of Baifeng.

After a rain of arrows under the clouds, and after twelve consecutive volleys, the soldiers of the Werther tribe, who had suffered heavy casualties, rushed to within two hundred meters of the longbowmen, and before they could continue to rush forward, the Roman soldiers scattered on both flanks of the longbowmen rushed first.

Licinius and Antio, personally leading the rest of their respective legions, engaged in a fierce battle with the forces of the Vitte tribes intent on attacking the longbowmen, and they were first 'greeted' by the javelins neatly thrown by the Roman light infantry.

The Roman legion's three-column battle formation was not so easy to break through, and the three-column battle array with a measured advance and retreat easily fended off the advancing army of the Vitus tribe in front of the longbowmen, and the longbowmen, who were not distracted, continued to rain arrows at the Werther army.

In the extremely chaotic battlefield, the superior army of the Werther tribe had to divide into two ways to deal with the two armies of the city of Rome, and the army of Baifeng, which was attacking with all its might, and the army of Bazel, which was attacking in the defense, were gradually compressing the front of the Werther tribesmen's army.

The longbowmen of the two Roman armies were shooting arrows in their hands with all their might, the hoplites were still assaulting everywhere, and the anxious Werther tribal army wanted to desperately win the initiative in the battle, but had no choice but to fall into extreme passivity.

The leader of the Werther tribe, who personally led the army into battle, was also angry at this time and wanted to lead his escort force to launch an attack on the army of Bai Feng who was fighting from behind; in his opinion, if it weren't for this army that suddenly appeared, he would have been able to completely annihilate the enemy in front of him today.

Unfortunately, the development of the war was not subject to anyone's will, and the Roman army was so fierce that it was destined not to be easily annihilated, even if the enemy had absolute superiority in numbers.

Even if Bai Feng's army did not arrive at the battlefield in time in today's battle, Bazel's army would not be defeated by the frantic attack of the Viter tribe;

The timely arrival of Bai Feng's army allowed Bazel's army to avoid heavy casualties and at the same time, it also had the capital to defend and attack;

The Bazel army, which had been holding back for four days, finally began their counterattack at this moment, the two Macedonian phalanx legions still maintained their battle formations, and the Tiger Legion, which was responsible for the task of flanking cover, launched a counterattack like a tiger descending the mountain!

The fierce Tiger Legion defeated the enemy troops on the flanks of the two phalanx legions with a swift attack, and the onslaught of the heavy cavalry blocked the Werther tribesmen's army in the center of the battlefield and could not advance forward.

The fierce battle with the Roman legions was even more fierce when the Wetus tribes attacked the army covered with longbowmen and arrows, and the repeated attacks of the Roman youth army and the Roman heavy infantry caused the long-fought Werther tribesmen to suffer more and more casualties.

Seeing that the battle was about to develop into an anxious state again, Bai Feng, who was slightly anxious in his heart, ordered the commanders who were still by his side:

"Ivan, you immediately personally lead all the shadow killers to assassinate the main general of the enemy army, and I give you only one task, that is, to kill the enemy general at all costs, even if you all die for it!"

"Yes!"

"Webster, you immediately lead all the spellcasters to carry out a spell attack on the enemy troops who are fighting with the First Legion and the Second Legion, I don't care how many enemy troops you can kill, I just need you to do your best to bombard the enemy army with spells for me!"

"Yes!"

"Maxi, you lead the Germanic berserkers of the personal guard battalion, the Spartan heavy infantry, and the Macedonian royal pikemen to attack from the left flank of the First Legion, and fully assist the soldiers of the First Legion to defeat the enemy army in front of you as soon as possible!"

"Yes!"

"Darnell, you lead the four groups of Roman youth in the personal guard battalion to attack from the right flank of the Second Legion, and your mission, like Maxi, must assist the soldiers of the Second Legion to defeat the enemy army as soon as possible!"

"But Governor, who is going to keep you safe when we're all gone?"

"Darnell, it's enough for me to have Bai Sheng and Thales by my side, your task is to fight for me desperately, as long as we win this battle, we will win the war, you know?"

"Yes!"

Darnell's hesitation made Bai Feng, who was already anxious, furious, and after he shouted angrily at Darner, he reprimanded Darnell mercilessly; Seeing that Bai Feng was indeed angry, Darnell, who was trembling in his heart, hurriedly carried out the order.

Ivan, Webster, Maxi, and Darnell immediately changed the situation on the battlefield, and forty spellcasters cast spells at the same time, causing the already heavy casualties of the Werther tribe army to suffer another round of heavy losses.

The huge power of the Spirit Gathering Blade can not only take the lives of more than a dozen Werther tribesmen at one time, but also deal a heavy blow to the morale of the Werther tribesmen's army.

The warriors of the Werther tribe, whose morale was almost devoid, collapsed under the intensified onslaught of the White Peak army, and the scattered enemy army fled frantically, which provided another opportunity for Ivan's shadow killers, and they hid in the defeated army and successfully approached the main general of the enemy army.

The leader of the Werther tribe sent his guards out to stop the rout, and angrily cursed the rout, and at that moment, twenty-two shadow killers who rose into the sky targeted him at the same time, an impeccable assassination!
