On a plain not far from the city of Paris, an army of 40,000 led by Li Liguo and a coalition of more than 100,000 Franks met each other. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

As in the usual battles, the two sides first played a killing game with their respective reconnaissance soldiers, but the Spartan light cavalry with horses and horses beat the Frankish cavalry without horses a little badly......

However, this is only a small fight, even if hundreds of scout cavalry are killed, it will only be a drizzle for the Franks with an army of more than 100,000.

The Franks' arrangement is still the same, a group of people line up in a dense line, the cavalry is on the flank, they have a large number of people, and the horizontal surface of the battlefield is very broad, and Li Liguo has to line the army in depth very shallow, and the auxiliary corps is almost lined up in a thin row in front.

Behind are the normal formation of Spartan descendants, and from the sky, the auxiliary corps is like a barrier, protecting the Spartan descendant troops in their rear......

The decisive battle of so many people, Li Liguo naturally would not be naïve to think that the commander on the opposite side was ****, and the whole army would rush forward when he came up, even if he wanted to, the battlefield could not accommodate so many people, so the result of this was that most people were crowded in the back and anxiously waiting for the people in front to die or retreat to rest with all their strength, and then replace them themselves, which would be a great waste of their manpower!

Therefore, Li Liguo is ready for a protracted war, well, let the auxiliary legions be consumed first, and when the opposite side is almost fought, he will smash him with a hammer, after all, there are too many people on the opposite side, although it is no problem for the Spartan lancers and heavy cavalry to face this kind of infantry in the plain area with one enemy and ten, but the opposite side is 100,000!

Even if you multiply your own cavalry by 10 times, it will be less than half of the strength of the opposing army......

If you rashly let the cavalry charge, the result is likely to be that before you can dig through the thick depth of the opposite side, you will sink into the sea of enemy infantry and be consumed alive!

In a sense, the number of people is also a good advantage, whether it is modern warfare or ancient warfare!

Well, in the information age, the number of people is not very meaningful, and the beating of Iraq by the United States is a good illustration of the fact that the number of troops is under the crushing of science and technology, which is completely meaningless!

Of course, if the generation difference in weapons is large to a certain extent, the numerical advantage can still be infinitely weakened, for example, the British Empire repeatedly conquered the cold weapon feudal dynasty that could pull out tens of thousands of soldiers with hundreds of muskets and artillery troops......

In particular, the Battle of Bali Bridge was definitely Li Liguo's remnants, hundreds of thousands of Manchu so-called elite cavalry were pressed to the ground by less than 10,000 British and French troops, and their own casualties did not exceed three figures, many of which were non-combat attrition......

It's a pity that the technological advantage it has over the other side seems to be just a cavalry unit with more horses, and the number is still small......

Hey, in this mission dungeon, Lao Tzu definitely wants to set up a force of tens of thousands of archers, no matter what bow he uses, he can shoot!

There's a saying that it's the king to be able to shoot out, well, you have to shoot it accurately!

The first to attack was naturally the coalition army of the Franks, about 10,000 or so, who let out a roar that Li Liguo could not understand, but could still be heard from a long distance, holding various weapons of different specifications, and rushed towards Li Liguo's front in a swarm!

Then, at the urging of the Spartan officers, the auxiliary regiment on Li Liguo's side also launched a counter-charge against the Frankish charge!

The eldest brother on both sides doesn't laugh at the second brother, you have leather armor and I have leather armor, you have no armor and I have no armor, you have a variety of weapons, and Lao Tzu doesn't care what kind of weapon you hold!

Anyway, you can kill people......

In addition, the soldiers standing on the flat ground in the front row of the battlefield could not observe the number of people on the opposite side at all, and what they saw was not only people but people, densely packed with people everywhere, either their own people or enemies!

Fortunately, Li Liguo asked each of his auxiliary legionnaires to tie a strip of red cloth around their arms, otherwise both sides were wearing civilian tattered clothes, and it was really difficult to distinguish between friend and foe......

Can we expect tens of thousands of soldiers to know you, me and him?

Originally, Li Liguo planned to let the soldiers tie the red cloth strips on their heads, so that it would be more conspicuous, but he later remembered that there was an unlucky army in Chinese history who seemed to have done this, and then after decades of trouble, the one who died was called a vigorous ......

Well, Li Liguo didn't want to be so vigorous, so he decided not to follow the example of the soldiers of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom......

In other words, the Franks on the other side don't even have a uniform costume, are they really not afraid of their own people accidentally hurting their own people after receiving the enemy?

No, they already knew that they were wearing red cloth strips, but Lao Tzu only ordered it a few days ago, and for the sake of the red cloth strips, dozens of tailor shops under Li Liguo's command were bankrupt by him......

Well, in order to pay for the huge auxiliary corps and maintain the stability of the occupied area, he has entered a period of financial difficulties, and Li Liguo, who has no idea of long-term occupation at all, will naturally not develop the economy of the occupied area, as long as it does not collapse, well, it must also be able to supply the most basic military logistics materials such as weapons, food and grass, which has made the people of the Spartan occupied area have never left the dire situation......

Li Liguo can be regarded as carrying out the tyrant line to the end, but then again, in fact, being a tyrant is quite cool, no wonder there is a tyrant at every turn in history, and almost all of those founding monarchs are tyrants, but because they are too bullish, no one dares to accuse them of tyrants......

Who would dare to accuse the founding father of being a tyrant?

The founding king slaughtered the city and killed people for victory, and the founding king killed the general for the stability of the country, anyway, as long as people opened the country, everything is right!

Well, this is the inferior nature of human beings, Genghis Khan ordered the killing of tens of millions of people, but he was praised for promoting the fusion of Eastern and Western cultures......

Li Liguo has long understood this truth......

As the two sides approached, the auxiliary legions threw pieces of javelins and short spears, and the Franks threw pieces of axes, both sides threw different weapons, but the killing effect was surprisingly good, and in an instant, the soldiers in the front row fell neatly like dominoes!

Constrained by the horizontal side of the battlefield, this time the auxiliary corps sent by Li Liguo was also about 10,000 people, and the two sides fought bravely together under such a tragic start!

In an instant, Li Liguo saw the fierce fighting style of the Franks! (To be continued.) )
