His army was pushed back, and he lost many fine warriors. The enemy army, had outflanked his and used their cavalry to break Audax's last ditch infantry charge. With many provinces under siege by their enemies Audax tried to seek out their allies, many Germanic tribes couldn't come to their aid simply by the troubles they were having (mainly with each other).

Audax took what he had left of his army and attacked Minurus in a last ditch battle. The battle went on for three days. The dead just piled all over the ground. Today the forest in which the greatest slaughter took place was forever called "The forest of the fallen" many restless spirts are said to wander looking for their bodies.
