The sole purpose of science is to alleviate the suffering of human existence. Scientists should consider most people.

The three armies of the Roman army that have not participated in the war until now are the twelve Roman youth forces under Li Xini, the elite warriors of the Governor’s Guard under the command of Wendel, and the 10,000 soldiers who were previously separated by the Aisini Corps. warrior.
Under the guard of Antio and his general guards, Bai Feng took Li Sini and Wendell's troops as the forwards, Peres's two thousand long archers as the Chinese army, and the 10,000 soldiers of the Aisini Corps belonged to the left and right wings. Formed a new offensive group.
The main target of this offensive group is the Nabazzani army desperate to break through the front line of the Roman army; Francis is ordering his cavalry to retreat, and Bai Feng has not been discovered. Bai Feng thinks that the war will last for a long time.
After a few hours of intense fighting, the auxiliary soldiers of the Cheetah Legion and the Tahiya Legion have been killed and injured. If there is not a soldier of the Aisini Legion, they are hard to support. I am afraid that the frontal pike phalanx of the Roman army has long been Was broken through on the flank.
Nabazzani was aided by Francis's 20,000 soldiers, and once again increased the offensive against the two wings of the lance square; General Joe Hugher's Aisini Corps had already suffered heavy losses, and they were unable to persist for long.
Bai Feng, who was leading the reinforcements, was aware of the precarious situation of the two wings of the Pike phalanx, and immediately dispatched 10,000 soldiers of the Aisini regiment on his left and right sides to reinforce the left and right wing of the Pike phalanx.
Watching these two 5,000-scale soldiers rush to the right and back through the mud, Bai Feng continued to lead the other soldiers forward; until only 300 meters away from the front edge of the battlefield, Bai Feng stopped marching and gave orders Road:
"General Li Xini, you immediately lead the young army generals to attack the flanking of the enemy; Paris command, you immediately start salvoing the enemy on the spot, striving to hit the enemy's middle and rear troops, let They are powerless to continue to assault!"
"Yes!" The two generals in charge executed Bai Feng's order non-stop.
The brave Li Xini led his General Guard and the 12th Roman Youth Force on the spot, and launched a charge towards the enemy battle line 300 meters ahead; while Perez once again bowed and led. With two thousand elite long archers under his command, a new volley began.
The salvo of two thousand elite long archers is not enough to bring much actual casualties to the enemy, but it is enough to completely disrupt the deployment of the enemy's middle and rear, causing the soldiers in the enemy's middle and rear to fall into chaos, giving Li Xi Nissan created better offensive opportunities.
The distance of three hundred meters is not counted. The fully equipped Roman youth army walked barefoot in the muddy water. It was quite difficult; the armor on them and the square shield in their hands were all burdens they could not get rid of, which greatly reduced Their marching speed.
Of course, this slow marching speed is not worthless. At least, it can allow the long archers of the Paris to shoot more rounds and kill more enemy soldiers. It also responds to another 10,000 loves. Reinforcement speed of Sini legionnaires.
After the two thousand long archers under Perez fired 14 consecutive waves of arrows, Bai Feng sent out to reinforce the 10,000 Aisini legion fighters flanked by the pike phalanx, and Lisini’s twelve Roman youth army, Caikan can join the battle at the same time.
After the flank of the lance phalanx received 10,000 vital forces, the already fragile flank defense was immediately stabilized; and the participation of nearly two thousand young army soldiers under Li Xini's battle completely changed the situation on the battlefield in the middle.
The combat effectiveness of the 12 teams of Roman youth cannot be underestimated, especially four of them are the initial troops at the beginning of the birth of the city of Rome. Their experience level has risen to the third level after several battles. Absolutely first-class tough.
Under the leadership of Li Xini, they rushed into the enemy's flanks, and quickly tore apart the temporarily formed flanking defense line. With the attacking momentum of the young army, it only took up to half an hour for the enemy to Will be completely divided into two!
Seeing that Nabazzani's middle army was completely at a disadvantage, Francis, after a long sigh of helplessness, ordered the trumpeters behind him to sound the trumpet of the army to retreat.
Ooo... Ooo... Ooo...
When the low horn sounded behind Francis, the Essini Kingdom warriors who were fighting the front line also shocked and slowed down their fighting rhythm. The soldiers of the Roman army will not miss this good opportunity in vain.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, the Roman army soldiers who had severely hit the enemy army had not yet responded. The Aisini Kingdom soldiers who were still desperately wanting to attack began to get rid of the battle of the Roman army and slowly withdrew from the battle. Withdraw from this difficult battle.
At this time, the number of casualties of the right-wing army commanded by Iggs has risen to more than 20,000 people; although the true number of casualties is less than half, but the soldiers killed and injured have lost half of their total strength.
And the 40,000 soldiers under Assam's were even more tragic. They can still gasp for more than 15,000 people, including the wounded soldiers; after receiving the retreat order issued by Francis, he was covered. The Assam decided to retreat without thinking.
Fighting a war without hope of victory is something that all generals are reluctant to face; Assam did not hesitate to carry out the order of Francis. He dragged his exhausted body and brought his soldiers Slowly withdrew from the battle.
From the beginning of the furious battle, to the present exhaustion, the three legions of the Roman right wing are also unable to pursue the enemy soldiers who want to retreat; at this time, even if they want to pursue, the muddy land will force They gave up chasing.
Compared to Assam’s battle and retreat, Nabazzani’s army did not have that good luck. All his soldiers were caught in a melee battle with the Roman army, as well as Paris Longbowman made a long-range strike aside.
After struggling for a long time, Nabazzani reluctantly took the soldiers with less than 10,000 people out of the battle and withdrew in the direction of Francis; after all the enemy remnants were withdrawn, the battle was completely The end, but the real war has just begun.
The 30,000 elite cavalry under Francis did not lose a soldier, and he still had 100,000 infantry in the rear. He was not involved in the battle; the defeat of this battle was only the failure of his unification of the Kingdom of Essini, not the whole Kingdom of Essini against Rome. The failure of the war.
The quagmire that helped the Roman army to win has also become a cover for the retreat of the Francis army; Bai Feng, besides watching the remnants of Francis slowly withdraw from the battlefield, can only let his soldiers rest on the spot.
The victorious Roman city soldiers did not have any cheers and celebrations, nor did they mean to celebrate the victory. They just slumped exhausted in the mud and quietly enjoyed the luck of the rest of the post-war period, and their breathlessness proved their vitality.
