Chapter 38: Targeted
In the northeast of the Eastern Roman Empire, the original Gothic settlement, is now occupied by a group of ethnic Huns on horseback, it is also interesting to say, the Huns were beaten away by the Han Dynasty army, and then the remnants of the Huns were defeated and migrated all the way to Europe, and the Europeans were abused, and even the most glorious Roman Empire in European history was struggling to deal with these Hun cavalry!
The Huns were an even greater threat to the Eastern Roman Empire than the Sassanid Empire (that is, the continuation of the Persian Empire)!
In a few decades, it was the era when Attila, the Hun king who was called the 'whip of God' by Europe, was besieged in Rome by Attila several times, if it were not for a strange curse that was rumored to occupy the city of Rome - foreign rulers would die violently, Attila was cautious and did not attack the city, and the Western Roman Empire would definitely not survive for decades!
The Eastern Roman Empire only relied on Constantinople to support it, trembling at Attila's iron hooves, until Attila died, and the powerful Hun Empire was divided by Attila's sons into civil wars, became weak, and finally perished!
The civilization testing ground can also be regarded as taking care of Li Liguo's weak strength, if he is teleported to Attila's era, he will not be able to complete his goal no matter what, even if the Western Roman Empire at that time is even weaker, but Attila's 100,000 Hun iron cavalry is definitely a nightmare for the Spartan kingdom with only 10,000 descendants!
This is the crushing of strength!
Fortunately, the current Huns are only strong, and have not really grown up, the Huns only began to invade southeastern Europe in 370 AD, and it has not been 30 years since Li Liguo entered this era, so they do not have the ability to penetrate deep into the hinterland of the Western Roman Empire, let alone eliminate the threat of Li Liguo!
But the inability to send troops to trouble Li Liguo does not mean that those Huns do not attach importance to Li Liguo, especially after knowing that Li Liguo's cavalry troops have the same stirrups as the Huns' own cavalry troops!
The first appearance of the horse pedal in Europe was actually passed on by the Huns, and the Huns also relied on the horse pedals to abuse the mainstream infantry units in Europe at that time with cavalry troops, and the Europeans shouted at the Hun cavalry in horror: "They can actually hold weapons with both hands, and they don't need to control the horse to charge!" ”
This was completely unscientific for Europeans at that time!
Therefore, the Europeans were so powerless in the face of the Huns' cavalry at first, until they learned all the techniques of cavalry and entered the age of knights in the Middle Ages!
However, now that a kingdom on the European continent has a cavalry unit of equal superiority to itself, how can the Huns not pay attention to the fact that their only advantage is leveled?
The Huns first stepped up the expulsion of the Goths, constantly squeezing the living space of the Goths, and it is best to let these Goths enter the territory of the Western Roman Empire, so that those unruly Goths will meet the Kingdom of Sparta sooner or later!
Of course, if the Spartan army was defeated by the Western Roman Empire, it would be even more convenient!
In fact, the reason why the Visigoths constantly clashed with the Western Roman Empire was precisely because the arrival of the Huns occupied the Ostrogoths' place of existence, and after the Ostrogoths migrated, they occupied the place of existence of the Visigoths, and the Visigoths had no choice but to move into the territory of the Western Roman Empire......
In history, the Huns will continue to invade those Germanic barbarians, driving those Franks, Burgundians, Vandals, etc. into the Western Roman Empire, accelerating the demise of the Western Roman Empire!
At the time of life and death, the barbarians picked a soft pinch and overthrew the Western Roman Empire, and established their own country on the territory of the Western Roman Empire!
The Huns did not continue to occupy the land because they occupied enough territory and the population was not very large, so it can be said that the migration of the Huns was the biggest reason for the destruction of the Western Roman Empire!
In addition to driving the Goths westward, the Huns also sent a small number of people to make trouble inside the Kingdom of Sparta!
It's not that the king of the Huns is so wise and wise, and even knows how to work behind enemy lines......
But Li Liguo did too much, he used very advanced methods of oppression to exploit the common people, so the people's livelihood in the territory of the Kingdom of Sparta withered, so that other kings were sideways, that kind of brutal and effective practice has long been known to the world!
As long as you have the most basic political mind, you should understand that the territory of the Kingdom of Sparta is a 'powder keg' full of riots, and as long as you add a little push, you can make the territory of the Kingdom of Sparta revolt frequently!
This kind of time-saving and labor-saving practice has huge results, how can the Huns who want to target Li Liguo not do it?!
Of course, the veterans and emperors of the Western Roman Empire naturally sent a group of elaborators to infiltrate the Spartan Kingdom area early to make trouble, but Li Liguo's army drove over a little too fast, and these people in power in the Western Roman Empire had to turn all their energy into resisting the Spartan army before they could plan how to launch the Spartan Kingdom uprising......
In fact, the Western Roman Empire felt that even if there was a riot now, it would be too late, Li Liguo had almost looted the Spartan Kingdom, and even if the rear area was all fallen, his supplies would be enough for his army to eat for several months......
Therefore, the Western Roman Empire should now think most about holding off or defeating Li Liguo's army, rather than engaging in some innocuous petty fights in his rear......
In the face of the menacing Spartan army of 100,000, the Western Roman Empire also barely pulled out 100,000 people, Li Liguo's record is really brilliant, since his rise, he has always defeated powerful enemies with less victories, even if those enemies are just barbarians!
But the barbarians of this era are also a powerful second-rate force!
Especially for the Western Roman Empire, the threat to it from the barbarians is no less than that of the Eastern Roman Empire, a gang of brothers!
Of the 100,000 troops of the Western Roman Empire, less than 40,000 were regular Roman legionnaires, and the rest were auxiliary legions of other races under the rule of the Western Roman Empire!
The perennial conquest has caused great losses to the regular legions of the Western Roman Empire, and it is already considered a great strength to pull out 40,000 regular Roman legions, after all, they still have to station troops in the Visigoths, the Italian Peninsula also needs troops to be stationed, and the Eastern Roman Empire cannot but take precautions......
They don't have the courage of Li Liguo, pulling out all the armies of the entire Spartan Kingdom, and they don't care if the rear will get out of control! (To be continued.) Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info)
