Trier is located in a wide stretch of the valley of the middle Moselle River, and most of the city is on the right bank of the Moselle. The slopes of the wood-covered valley www.biquge.info are scattered with terraces, which rise to the south to the heights of the Hunsrük Mountains and to the north to meet the Eiffel Mountains.

After the last prompt, Li Liguo's eyes lit up, and he came to a small forest, where the Spartan army under his command stood neatly behind him, and less than a mile in front of him was a city of Trier with low walls, and Li Liguo even saw dozens of civilians in Roman costumes entering and exiting the city gate, and a group of Roman soldiers wearing worn chain mail and holding spears checked the entry and exit of civilians at the city gate.

The walls were patrolled by dozens of Roman soldiers, most of them holding rectangular shields and short swords......

This picture was completely shattered after a minute!

First of all, the Roman soldiers with a wide view on the city wall discovered Li Liguo's tens of thousands of horses!

"Enemy Attack !!"

Dozens of Roman soldiers screamed in horror, panicked to run to the alarm bell, not long after, the bell bells rang, the Roman soldiers at the city gate ran into the city, along with those civilians whether out of the city or into the city are flooded into the city, and even once caused crowding and trampling!

"Where is Guan Yu?!" Li Liguo shouted.

"My lord, my subordinates are ready to attack at any time!"

Li Liguo pointed to the crowded Trier city gate and said, "You take the cavalry to break in while they haven't closed the city gate!" ”

After hearing this, Guan Yu raised the Green Dragon Glaive and waved it, and hundreds of lightly armed saber cavalry behind him followed Guan Yu and roared.

The only advantage of these light cavalry is probably their speed......

Because Li Liguo's army appeared too suddenly, the Roman soldiers of Trier, which still belonged to the rear city, were very lax, and as a result, it took too much time to close the city gate, and the alarm bell rang less than 10 minutes, and the cavalry led by Guan Yu had already rushed through the crowded Romans at the city gate and trampled on it directly!

The Roman civilians and soldiers who stood in front were treated equally, and were easily sent to hell by Guan Yu's broadsword and horse hooves, and the hundreds of light cavalry that followed followed were more like a torrent, completely scattering the Roman soldiers who looked like goods at the city gate!

Guan Yu waved the Green Dragon Glaive back and forth, and the Roman soldiers who stopped in front of him did not survive a round, and it didn't take long for the Roman soldiers at the city gate to completely collapse!

Guan Yu led the people to follow the collapsed Roman soldiers, all the way to their military camp!

Well, the city of Trier was an important logistical military city in the Western Roman Empire, and there were many Roman soldiers stationed in it!

After Guan Yu broke through the city gates, the Spartan berserkers, who were more suitable for urban street fighting, then stepped into the consolidation of their victory, then the Spartan pikemen, the legendary Spartan Janissaries, and finally the Spartan lancers and Spartan heavy cavalry!

In fact, the battle ended at the moment when Guan Yu burst into the city gate, the Roman soldiers who lost the advantage of defending the city were completely backward in terms of elite level and number, most of these Roman soldiers were composed of 2-line troops and recruits, the Western Roman Empire fought with the Goths, Vandals, Franks, Germans and other barbarians for many years, coupled with rampant corruption in the country, the people's enthusiasm for fighting was low, and the Roman legions at this time were far inferior to their heyday!

And even more so these 2-line troops?

Under Guan Yu's assault, the Roman soldiers who were caught off guard completely collapsed in less than half a day, and Li Liguo easily captured thousands of captives and reduced them to slavery.

The Romans in this period still had a little bit of patriotism, and let them be cannon fodder to deal with the Roman army, which is absolutely indispensable!

Settle the army, issue a proclamation to appease the civilians, and strictly prohibit the guys who take advantage of the fire to rob, and soon, order was restored to Trier City again, and there were only more than 10,000 civilians in Trier City in total, and Li Liguo's more than 10,000 troops ruled them It was really not too simple!

In this battle, Li Liguo's army suffered very little losses, only 5 light cavalry were wounded, 1 was killed, and the one who died fell off his horse and was trampled to death......

It can be said that the Roman soldiers did not put up serious resistance at all, and most of the pressure was offset by Guan Yu who rushed to the front line, and the Roman soldiers who dared to fight and kill almost all rushed to the front, and then as a matter of course, they met the martial god Guan Gong who rushed to the front line, and then there was no more......

The city of Trier happened to be stationed in a newly formed legion in Rome, which was used to guard the logistics materials due to its low combat effectiveness, and as for those logistics materials, it surprised Li Liguo!

"The weapons we captured can arm at least tens of thousands of soldiers!" Wang Zhong reported to Li Liguo with a happy face.

Those weapons are basically short swords, spears, javelins, shields, etc., and there is not much armor, and it seems that they are mainly used to replace front-line battle-damaged weapons!

"If we use our wealth to recruit mercenaries, how many people can we recruit as soldiers?"

Li Liguo asked Wang Zhong.

After entering the city, Wang Zhong led the Spartan soldiers to thoroughly investigate the residents and treasury of Trier, and he had a certain understanding of the residents of Trier.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is a bit difficult, to be honest, the inhabitants of Trier City generally only regard us as lucky barbarians, although they are temporarily obeying our orders, few people think that we can withstand the suppression of the Roman legions that will follow!"

"Oh? Is the main Roman legion close to here? ”

"Your Majesty, according to the residents of Trier whom I bribed, not long ago the Rhine River drove three main Roman legions to suppress the Germanic rebellion, and if the important rear city of Trier falls, it will definitely come to the rescue!"

Li Liguo smiled and said, "Okay, you let people spread the news of the loss of Trier City, and then pick a few clever Spartan soldiers out of the city to investigate the news, and we will wait for the main force of the Roman legions in Trier City to take the bait!" ”

Li Liguo's idea is very simple, take advantage of the fact that the Romans don't understand their own strength, and destroy the most capable troops in this area, and then he can use his fists and feet to grab the territory!

As for those Goths and Germanic barbarians, Li Liguo didn't pay attention to them at all, even if the Roman Empire was split into this grandmother, fighting those barbarians head-on, it still won most of the times, you can imagine how low their combat effectiveness is!

It's just that there are too many barbarians, and they are fighting for survival, and they can't be killed cleanly no matter how many times they are defeated, and the increasing degeneration of the Roman legions is difficult to replenish, and a few defeats will shake the fundamentals!
