Chapter 24: Accidents
In the next few days, Li Liguo carried out a comprehensive infiltration and rectification of Trier City, under Li Liguo's heavy reward, there were still a few people who were willing to serve the Spartan army, of course, they were not used as cannon fodder, you know, Li Liguo used to envelop the wealth of the residents of Trier, but he could not pay too many people. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The reason why Li Liguo used most of the coins seized in Trier City to buy the few Trier people was mainly to initially establish his eyes and ears, and to use a lofty term called the intelligence system, but this intelligence system was too simple......
A small number of greedy residents of Trier, after receiving a good deposit, under Li Liguo's instructions, explored in the direction of the Rhine and Gaul, and would be rewarded for the intelligence and information they provided, Li Liguo was not worried that these people would pass on false information or defect to the enemy.
Their families are in their own hands, and when they return, they will be stranded in the city to provide for them until the accuracy of the information is confirmed, unless the eyes and ears of Trier City are all 'communist' fighters who are not afraid of death, otherwise who will have nothing to joke with their own lives and their families'?
In this way, Li Liguo's 'eyes and ears' began to infiltrate the Gallic region and the northern borders of the Western Roman Empire, and he needed to understand what the world he was in was like, and how powerful the enemies he had to face now or in the future!
If those barbarians have become the climate, and an army of 100,000 miles away will rush over with a loud shout, then Li Liguo will naturally pretend to be a harmless and obedient baby or even simply change places to develop......
However, if the barbarians were so awesome, the Western Roman Empire should have been destroyed a long time ago......
And if those so-called barbarians are just a scattered garbage army, fighting on their own and not having too strong combat effectiveness, then the Spartan kingdom can let go of its hands and feet!
About two weeks later, Li Liguo got a very unexpected news that the so-called three Roman legions that went to suppress were slaughtered by the Burgundians!
The victorious Burgundians trumpeted their brilliant victory, and the whole battle process was painted by Li Liguo's ears and eyes, first a small defeat (in fact, the Burgundians did not fight the Roman legions in the plains), attracting the Roman legions to pursue, and then in the forest area that the Burgundians were very familiar with, the armies of several tribes were concentrated to raid the Roman soldiers from all directions.
The emaciated Trier said that the Roman soldiers at that time were routed by the Burgundian barbarian soldiers without even listing the battle formations, and then they chased all the way, and not a single one of the more than 10,000 people in the three Roman legions escaped......
"In other words, the rule of the Romans in the Rhine region has completely disappeared, right?" Li Liguo asked the Trier who provided the information.
"Yes~ Yes, the great king, the Burgundians were very brutal, they burned and looted any village and town with the presence of the Romans, and they did not have the slightest intention of stopping, all the way to the city of Trier, and I also heard that this time the Burgundians and the Franks and Vandals reached an agreement, and at the same time marched to the Western Roman Empire to seize territory!"
The Trier man in front of Li Liguo said cautiously.
"How many troops of the Burgundians are attacking in our direction?"
Li Liguo frowned and asked.
"This ...... This one...... It seems like 30,000, no, it could be 50,000 ......."
Two minutes later, Li Liguo waved his hand irritably and drove the Trillian out to receive the bounty, after all, it was only a civilian who had changed careers, and he had no concept of numbers at all......
At this time, Li Liguo realized a serious problem, the enemy he needed to face the most in this world was probably not the Romans, but the various barbarian armies that had been divided into the ancient Germanic peoples!
Whether it was the previous assault siege or the subsequent news of the fall of the Roman legions, Li Liguo could easily judge what the current Roman legions had degenerated!
The military aircraft are scattered and the will to fight is weak, which has almost become a common phenomenon for Roman legions, and perhaps there will be some decent Roman soldiers in the hinterland of the Western Roman Empire, but I am afraid that this place will soon become the territory of the barbarians......
Let's understand the reality of the barbarian army first, and if you can, compete with them first.
Li Liguo knows very well that his goal this time is not to finish the task, the Western Roman Empire will definitely perish in the next few years, and he only needs to add fuel to the fire, but if he wants to get the greatest benefits, he must use his army to fight out a territory step by step!
The barbarians will not reason with you, and the only thing that will convince them is the strong army, just like the Roman Empire did at the height of the Roman Empire, and use 'peace' to convince the barbarian tribes on the border.
Well, the Romans generally slaughtered all the barbarian tribes that did not obey, and burned all the gathering places to a blank field, similar to the Japanese Sanko policy back then, and the Romans called this method of stabilizing the border areas 'peace'.
This peace was tried and tested by the Romans, and after each implementation, a real peace was obtained......
Because no barbarian tribe wanted to be the object of peace for the Romans......
Therefore, judging from the customs of the Romans, Li Liguo definitely has the potential to become an ambassador of peace!
In the next few days, the Spartan cavalry scouts spread all over the middle section of the Terrier City to the Rhine region, and under the reconnaissance of the Spartan cavalry scouts, the information of the Burgundian 'army' that did not hide the slightest meaning was quickly presented to Li Liguo's desk.
The army of the Burgundians was actually a large migratory tribe, and the first wave of Burgundians moving in their own direction should be the most capable vanguard, and the number was also very large, more than 100,000 people......
Of course, most of these Burgundians were composed of old and weak women and children, and according to the information gathered by professional Spartan cavalry scouts, this Burgundian army, even if all the men in the prime of life could go to war, would at most pull out more than 30,000 people.
Li Liguo felt that if this Burgundian was really driven to a dead end, it would not be impossible for them to take up arms and fight with the old man and the child when they were still in the age of tribal barbarism!
It's not that Li Liguo ignored the barbarian women, but the battle in this era is basically hand-to-hand combat as the ultimate decisive force, the performance of women on the battlefield is really not good, the most important thing is that many men are killed after defeat, but women are rarely killed after defeat, in ancient wars, women are actually a special kind of trophies, the trophies that the victors like very much!
