The prestige of the first victory gave Li Liguo a very large intangible benefit, and under his deliberate propaganda, the campaign of 10,000 regular troops to annihilate more than 20,000 barbarians was exaggerated to the point that 10,000 Spartan soldiers annihilated more than 100,000 Burgundians allied army......

Let's not mention whether the Germanic tribes and the Western Roman Empire officially believed it, anyway, the common people under Li Liguo's rule and many uneducated civilians in Gaul believed it!

With the power of victory, Li Liguo used more than a month to successfully draw young men from Trier City and the Burgundian who were slaves to form an auxiliary army with more than 20,000 people!

Among them, the middle and high-ranking generals were all Spartan soldiers who had contributed to the last battle, and the junior officers were well-behaved, that is, Burgundians and Triers, who were closer to the Spartan kingdom. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The people of Trier were not in much trouble, and almost all of the residents of Trier who joined the army joined for the lure of a decent salary and the plunder promised by Li Liguo that they could keep half of the loot.

The Trier people are very scattered and all of them are poor people at the bottom, and when the Burgundians select soldiers, they are strictly screened, and those tribal leaders and people with high prestige are basically not selected by Li Liguo, and the junior officers among the Burgundian soldiers are promoted to some of the soldiers with the lowest status.

Suddenly gained the right to be an official and a ruler, and those Burgundian junior officers became loyal to the Spartan Kingdom while being jealous of their fellow clansmen, after all, the strange eyes of the same clan around them made these Burgundians who were once at the bottom understand that everything they have now is given by the Spartan Kingdom, if they are not forced into a desperate situation, they should follow this boss who promoted themselves......

The most commonly used and very effective means is to promote people with low status and kick out people with high prestige, plus to completely break the tribal restrictions of the Burgundians and disperse them to various brigades and squads, so that Li Liguo can command the auxiliary legions with confidence!

Of course, Li Liguo will not have much hope for their combat effectiveness, the backbone of the battle still depends on the Spartan army, when this group of Burgundians fights for their own tribe, they can be beaten by Li Liguo, and transferred to Li Liguo's hands, how much combat effectiveness can be improved? !

Li Liguo was very skeptical......

And he didn't have much time to train these ragtag armies of barbarians and civilians for complex military training.

Don't look at the infantry phalanx of the Roman legions, it looks very simple, but it is because people have become so coordinated after a long period of training, and the training of military formations in the era of cold weapons is more complicated than the training in the era of hot weapons.

Soldiers must not only be proficient in the use of weapons and how to kill enemies, but also undergo rigorous queue training!

You know, these soldiers are 'fools' who can't read big words!

It takes a lot of time and effort to train a group of civilians who are not divided into orders and forbidden troops, and to list some basic military formations to deal with various scenarios......

In fact, it is best for the soldiers of the army to be composed of educated people, who have a strong ability to accept and have a basic understanding of basic common sense, so that they can get twice the result with half the effort with half the training, at least they will not make the kind of idiotic mistakes that do not distinguish between left and right......

However, in addition to the military formation, courage and killing skills are equally important in the era of cold weapons, in a sense, it cancels out the role of some military formations, especially in surprise battles, the courageous stragglers are often more powerful than the regular army soldiers in the array!

In the battles between the Germanic barbarians and the Roman legions, the battles that could be won basically took place in places with complex terrain such as canyons and forests, that is, the Roman legions could not be arrayed, they could only fight hard, and then there were barbarians who had not fought but had no brains in Roman soldiers......

Li Liguo didn't expect to train the auxiliary regiment into a regular army that was forbidden by order, in that case, he didn't have to do anything else, he would have to train in Trier City for one year first......

This is what Li Liguo will never allow!

It only took him 3 months to get the new Auxiliaries to get acquainted with their new teammates and make them understand the horns of the attack and the sound of the gongs of retreat, well, that's enough!

I don't know if it was the prestige of Li Liguo's Spartan legion, or the territory of those Germanic barbarians had been allocated, and not a single barbarian army had attacked Trier City in the past few months.

As for the Western Roman Empire......

Li Liguo is left with only hehe......

According to his gradually maturing informant system, he has a general understanding of the dilemma of the Western Roman Empire, the Visigoths have not solved it, and the Huns have migrated to the border of the Eastern Roman Empire, and now even the Eastern Roman Empire cannot stretch its hands......

The reason why it is said to be an informant system is because even with Li Liguo's face, he is embarrassed to call the eyes and ears of a group of civilians an intelligence system......

To put it bluntly, Li Liguo can only know the general news of the Western Roman Empire in this world, so that he will not be ignorant of the outside world like an 'otaku', and there is no Baidu god in this world......

The real key situation of the internal armies of the Western Roman Empire and even the various barbarians of the Germanic peoples, Li Liguo and Mao couldn't even inquire about it......

However, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter at all, Li Liguo doesn't need to know how the barbarian army is, as long as he knows where they are and where they plan to attack, these so-called ears and eyes can still hear this information......

The Western Roman Empire, on the other hand, was close to collapsing its rule in Gaul, and there were almost no real main battle legions, only some auxiliary legions composed of the vassal peoples of the Western Roman Empire and a small number of Romans in the second line of troops stationed in a few large cities......

Wait for the barbarian army to arrive, and then be destroyed or surrendered for various reasons......

I have to say that this is really good news, very good news for Li Liguo!

The next step was Li Liguo, who had been recuperating for several months, and after leaving a small number of Spartans and some locals in Trier, he led a vast army of nearly 30,000 horses and horses all the way to the Gaul region.

All kinds of dissatisfaction!

Whether it was a Germanic-controlled town or a Roman-controlled town, Li Liguo only gave them two choices, surrender or destroy!

Initially, most towns chose to destroy, which made Li Liguo a little unhappy, because his auxiliary legion was the main cannon fodder for the siege, and it consumed a little too much, although the morale of the auxiliary legion was always high because of the slaughter of the city and looting......
