Chapter 36: Destroying the Withering and Decaying (Part 3)

With the news that Li Liguo wiped out more than 100,000 Frankish troops in the first battle, the entire Roman region and the Rhine region were completely shaken!

After defeating the Visigoths, the Western Roman Empire hurriedly dispatched the main army to return to the defense, and watched the movements of the Spartan army on the periphery of the Italian peninsula!

The Burgundian army that had just taken the city of Trier, which had just been captured, had a violent quarrel internally, and the Burgundian tribal alliance that had been unanimous with the outside world, under the prestige of Li Liguo, there were signs of splitting, and many Burgundian tribal chiefs who wanted to preserve their strength or were not brave shouted to go home, while others insisted that the Spartan kingdom had suffered huge losses in this battle, and there would definitely be a chance if they marched!

However, the Burgundian homecoming patriarchs asked two questions:

1. How does the strength of our Burgundians compare with that of the Franks?

2. Is our army capable of resisting the Spartan cavalry head-on?

Well, the Burgundian patriarch of the main battle faction directly avoided these two questions, because these are all facts in front of them, and they can only hold on to the reason for Li Liguo's great loss of strength, oh, by the way, plus a field war with the Spartan Kingdom......

Those who came home and sent the Burgundian patriarch to scoff at it and not fight in the field?

That's also an offensive yarn, everyone clean up and go home to wash and sleep!

As long as it retains its strength and fights in familiar places, the Kingdom of Sparta will definitely not be able to help itself, otherwise if it is defeated, it will be like those Franks, who are afraid all day long about when the Spartan army will pass......

In the end, the two sides broke up, and the Burgundian coalition army was officially divided, and most of the war lords sent the patriarch to take their tribal warriors and embarked on the return journey, and this time, the more than 70,000 Burgundian coalition troops shrank to more than 30,000 at once......

After the number of people dropped drastically, many Burgundian patriarchs of the main battle faction also became panicked, and 30,000 people seemed to be not enough to see in front of the Spartan army......

And Li Liguo, who learned about the division of the Burgundian coalition through the informant system, also released the news that he wanted to recapture the city of Trier in a timely manner, and said that he would lead an army of 40,000 to crusade against the Burgundians who did not know what to do, of course, it was only a crusade against the Burgundians who entered the territory of the Kingdom of Sparta......

40,000 people!

Another 40,000 people!

It seems that the kingdom of Sparta relied on more than 40,000 troops to annihilate more than 100,000 main forces of the Franks!

The Burgundian chiefs of Trier looked at their remaining 30,000 people, and no matter how they looked at it, they were bound to lose......

As a result, many Burgundian patriarchs left Trier City again, especially when Li Liguo raised troops to march to Trier City, the main battle faction of the Burgundians was almost silent, and after a long time of hard discussion without good results, the Burgundians had to withdraw from Trier City!

Just when the Burgundians withdrew from Trier City, Guan Yu, the general under Li Liguo's command, had already taken the Spartan lancers and Spartan heavy cavalry not far from Trier City, in fact, Li Liguo had already calculated that it was impossible for the Burgundian coalition forces without unified command to fight with him, so he just took the newly reorganized Frankish slaves out of the city, and the Spartan cavalry troops drove to Trier City a few days in advance.

Li Liguo's high-profile expedition was precisely to cover Guan Yu's cavalry troops, and the Burgundians' almost no closed channels for obtaining information were shaken by Li Liguo......

The so-called army of those Frankish slaves actually had no combat effectiveness at all, because Li Liguo could not control them, so he didn't even arm them with weapons......

That army was really just a bunch of logistical coolies......

In the last wave of the Burgundians to leave Trier City, the army is actually less than 20,000 people, these people are also the most unwilling to leave the Burgundians, if it weren't for the fact that the army is too much less than that of the Spartan Kingdom, these people will definitely not leave Trier City in such a mess!

After Guan Yu got the news that the Burgundians had left the city, he led this elite composed entirely of cavalry to catch up with the last wave of Burgundians on the plains!

These Burgundians could not imagine how the army of the Kingdom of Sparta had arrived so quickly, but they had left the city of Trier just as Li Liguo's army had just set out!

Caught off guard, the Burgundians were charged by the cavalry led by Guan Yu and completely dispersed, and then there was a massacre like mowing grass!

Faced with the Spartan cavalry units that came and went, those Burgundian infantry had no third option but to surrender and be hacked to death......

In this battle, the kingdom of Sparta won an astonishing victory in a devastating way, and once again shocked the Burgundians who returned home early!

When Guan Yu escorted more than 10,000 Burgundian captives back to Paris, the crisis of the Spartan Kingdom was completely resolved, and for a while, Li Liguo's name made the kings of all Europe hear the calluses......

Even the Huns, who were far away in Eastern Europe and the Eastern Roman Empire, heard about the Kingdom of Sparta in Gaul, and the cautious Huns canceled their plans for a future invasion of the Western Roman Empire!

There is only one reason, the kingdom of Sparta has a cavalry unit that can fight well, and it is almost invincible!

At the same time, the senate of the Western Roman Empire also held an emergency meeting and began to negotiate how to deal with the Spartan kingdom in Gaul, which had defeated the barbarian alliance, and already had enough capital to establish another state in Gaul!

Li Liguo, who had obtained more than 40,000 young and strong prisoners, also began to digest the fruits of victory, and he scattered all the remnants of the Spartan infantry into the newly formed auxiliary legions, except for the legendary Spartan Janissaries!

Oh no, now these newly formed legions are no longer auxiliary legions of the Kingdom of Sparta!

They officially became the main infantry corps of the Kingdom of Sparta!

Li Liguo, with the prestige of his great victory, wantonly recruited soldiers to the territory under his command, and then fused the Burgundians, Gauls, and Franks together, and began to train Spartan soldiers as senior officers, instilling in them the belief of loyalty to the Spartan kingdom while training!

After 2 or 3 months of intensive training, Li Liguo began to march with this army to other parts of Gaul, which was called military training!

In the midst of constant victories, cultivate their centripetal force and cohesion, and at the same time recruit civilians and captives from the newly occupied areas to enlist in the army, diluting the proportion of the Franks in the legion!

Li Liguo restrained this unit with strict Spartan military discipline and instilled in it a knee-jerk reaction to obey the orders of his superiors! (To be continued.) )
