Chapter 48: An Easy Uprising

I wish all the best for the Mid-Autumn Festival family reunion, and I look forward to more friends supporting this book and subscribing to see the genuine version!

"The kingdom of Sparta has no rule, the tyrannical king of Sparta is extravagant, regardless of the lives of civilians, and now the army of the Eastern Roman Empire is about to crush the unscrupulous Spartan king Li Liguo, we must all stand up and fight for our own way of life!

Overthrow the tyranny of the Kingdom of Sparta and build our own country! ”

A Gaul dressed as a magistrate of the Kingdom of Sparta, in front of a group of hungry and skinny Gallic civilians, passionately preached a speech against the tyranny of the Kingdom of Sparta, and successfully transferred the anger of these commoners to the Spartan king Li Liguo!

The tsunami-like cry for the overthrow of the tyranny of the Spartan kingdom spread through the streets of this predominantly Gaul-dominated city!

The man, who had been transformed from sheriff of the Spartan kingdom to leader of the rebel army without any pressure, led a group of rebel troops armed with various agricultural tools such as wooden sticks and dung forks, and cut down the eagle banner standing at the head of the city, announcing that the city would become autonomous from then on......

Well, even though the rebel army was a bunch of hungry mud-legged people who didn't even have a decent weapon, they won a perfect victory!

The reason is simple, Li Liguo did not leave a single soldier of his own in the hinterland of Gaul......

The uprising was all a victory parade!

At the same time, shortly after the arrival of Gaul and the Spanish Peninsula in the Eastern Roman Empire, revolts began one after another, and a large number of magistrates and consuls, who had been appointed by the locals at will of the Kingdom of Sparta, did not hesitate to change their positions and became the leaders of the popular revolt!

Occasionally, some of the less courageous magistrates and consuls, who had no intention of suppressing rebellions for the kingdom of Sparta, ran away with their little personal possessions as soon as they noticed the news......

In an instant, before the invading armies of the Germanic barbarians rushed into the hinterland of Gaul, the original ruling area of the Spartan Kingdom quickly collapsed......

However, although the insurrection was very successful, the problem of feeding the rebel army was not solved at all!

Not to mention the weapons needed to arm the army!

It is not so much that Gaul and the Spanish Peninsula succeeded in breaking away from the Spartan kingdom and establishing their own 'state', but rather that they went their own way and reverted back to the tribal era......

It's especially the hungry tribal era!

After the success of the uprising, the number of civilians who starved to death did not decrease in the slightest, but increased the number of bandits who lived by looting......

Li Liguo was so ruthless in looting Gaul and the Spanish Peninsula that he didn't let go of the rations of the civilians, otherwise how could he supply his 100,000 troops who had nothing to do with production and fought thousands of miles?

Iron weapons were even less available, and the iron weapons needed to arm an army of 100,000 were definitely enough to scrape away Gaul and the Spanish peninsula, where the smelting culture was underdeveloped......

Li Liguo can also accept the weapons and equipment from the reserves of the Western Roman Empire in the Italian Peninsula, and when the Gaul region and the Spanish Peninsula were occupied by the Kingdom of Sparta, the troops of the Western Roman Empire had already retreated, so the weapons were basically built by themselves......

Therefore, Li Liguo did not pay any attention to the fire-like uprising that broke out in the original Spartan kingdom, he just sent troops to suppress some Romans who had no brains in the Italian Peninsula and planned to learn!

The Italian peninsula was more developed than Gaul at this time, after all, it was the foundation of the Western Roman Empire!

Soon, Li Liguo was wise that he had not sent troops to suppress Gaul and the Spanish Peninsula, and what could the hungry rebel army do without food?

Infighting!

After experiencing the joy of cutting down the 10,000-character eagle flag, the self-reliant cities were distressed to find that they still had no food to survive. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

At this time, the rebel army was inferior to the barbarians, but they were a group of hungry beasts fighting for themselves!

It's better to die in battle than to starve to death!

Those who have experienced the taste of hunger will never be afraid of the danger of being hacked to death!

The Germanic barbarians, who rushed into Gaul, were surprised to find that the battle that they thought was devastating had become more difficult after the collapse of the rule of the Spartan kingdom!

Even if the so-called rebel army can no longer be scum in terms of combat effectiveness in front of the barbarians, the fighting style of those people who don't want to die has caused the barbarian army to suffer heavy losses!

In particular, the rebel armies began to eat the corpses of barbarian soldiers!

Even among the Germanic barbarians, there are not many cannibal tribes!

Contrary to the frustration of the Germanic barbarian armies, the rebel armies have finally found the 'fat sheep' that are not easy to gnaw!

Those Germanic barbarians have food!

This Nima doesn't rob him?

In fact, at the beginning, the rebel army didn't think about robbing, after all, the facts are in front of them, their farm tools and armaments can't defeat the barbarian soldiers who are at least armed, and the hungry rebel army originally just wanted some food to fill their stomachs first, but there has never been a Germanic barbarian who robbed others, how could they have to pay for it in turn?

What's more, the barbarians don't have much food!

The rebel army numbered in the thousands, most of them old and weak, women and children, and the Germanic barbarians did not feel the need to treat such a group of people with precious food......

Of course, the hungry rebel army has just entered the Germanic barbarians, and even if they are defeated repeatedly, the surviving rebel army can still eat more or less 'things'!

Gaul has been in turmoil ever since!

What the rebels didn't know was that after the collapse of the rule of the Spartan Kingdom, the number of people they died was far greater than the number of people who starved to death when the flag of the Kingdom of Sparta was still there!

War is often worse than famine!

Of course, these small events could not attract Li Liguo's attention at all, after he heard that there was a large-scale uprising in Gaul and the Spanish Peninsula, and the collapse of the rule of the Kingdom of Sparta, he just said lightly that he knew, and then turned his head to deal with the upcoming army of the Eastern Roman Empire!

This time, the army of the Eastern Roman Empire is even more difficult than the army of the Western Roman Empire!

Because the Eastern Roman Empire deeply analyzed the tactics of the Spartan army, it also began to learn, for example, archers began to form in clusters and conduct effective training in salvos!

Cavalry also began to be used intensively, although the stirrup has just been introduced by the Huns and has not yet begun to be popularized on a large scale, but the Eastern Roman Empire does not need to let their cavalry attack the infantry phalanx, only need to stop the cavalry charge of the Spartan Kingdom!
