Li Liguo's good days were not long-lasting, and although the alliance between the Germanic barbarians was not reached for one reason or another, it was a real test of patience for these barbarians of different ethnic groups and even different beliefs to let them unite into one army and obey the command of a foreign patriarch......

Obviously, the barbarians' patience is not very good, especially when they are far from the point of life and death, and even have some advantages!

After all, most of the towns attacked by Li Liguo were still the territory of the Romans, and he had no intention of marching into the lair of the barbarians, and only destroyed some small tribes that stretched out their hands and feet a little longer. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Therefore, the loss of the barbarians is not great, and it is far from the level of fearing Li Liguo, they just feel that there is a force as powerful as them called the Kingdom of Sparta, which has suddenly risen!

The Franks, Burgundians, and Vandals failed to reach the decision to attack Li Liguo at the same time, and the Vandals even felt that their strength was insufficient and withdrew from the struggle for hegemony in advance......

The Burgundians were very active in trying to smash the Li Liguo who didn't know what was bubbling up that corner, but the Burgundians who did not obey the discipline often betrayed even their own boss, the Roman Empire, and constantly invaded the northern border of the Gallic region of the Roman Empire, not to mention letting them obey the command of the Franks?

The Franks, who were relatively strongest, were even less likely to obey the orders of the Burgundians......

So, as a matter of course, the two barbarians parted ways and attacked the territory of the Spartan Kingdom from two directions.

The direction of the Burgundian attack is Li Liguo's first lair, Trier City, of course, the potential and materials of today's Trier City have long been exhausted by Li Liguo's several months of foreign conquest, and there are not even many young men in the city.

Li Liguo is not just a small trier city in the beginning, he is a powerful king who has the right to rule most of central and northern Gaul!

The people of Trier were dissatisfied, and they could only make silent appointments, just as their ancestors had appointed them to rule the Roman Empire......

Therefore, when Li Liguo got the Burgundians to form an army of 70,000 to attack the city of Trier, he ignored it in the slightest......

That's a real army of 70,000, all made up of Burgundian tribal warriors, and the logistics staff didn't count it at all!

Of course, there is another important reason for Li Liguo's heartless approach, that is, the army of the Franks rushed towards his own place, which was also where the main army of the Kingdom of Sparta was stationed!

The Frankish army, which has become a climate, is not afraid of the victorious Spartan army, and it is clear that it is here to destroy Li Liguo head-on!

For the first time, the three main Frankish tribes, the Salians, the Ripplians, and the Kati (or Hesses), came together to form a coalition under the temptation of carving up the vast territory of Gaul together!

Even in the face of the Roman legions, these three tribes did not form an alliance to resist the Roman army!

Well, the main reason is that the Roman legions at that time were too strong, and no one wanted to be the first bird, after all, the Romans still had a lot of peace deterrent!

This time, the combined Frankish army exceeded 100,000 soldiers capable of going into battle, and the entire northeastern part of Gaul trembled in the shadow of the Franks' unprecedented strength......

Soon after the news of the large-scale invasion of the Frankish coalition came, the number of deserters in Li Liguo's auxiliary army increased sharply, and for this reason, the Spartan warlords and officers, cut off the heads of the deserters, and the branches of the crooked neck tree in front of the gate of the barracks were all hung ......

Li Liguo once passed by occasionally, and saw the overwhelmed crooked neck tree, perhaps because he felt that it was a little pitiful, and it had to hang so many heads to increase the burden on his body when it grew like that, or it may be simply to protect the natural environment and act as an epoch-making environmental protection guard, so he ordered the heads to be inserted on wooden stakes and lined up in front of the barracks gate, and they should be placed neatly and artistically......

Yes, and most importantly, be conspicuous so that all the auxiliary legionnaires can see the fate of the deserters!

Soon, after hundreds of stakes were added to the barracks gates, the number of deserters dropped dramatically, and the soldiers of the auxiliary regiment became more disciplined......

In a few months of warfare, the descendants of the Spartan kingdom army except for the Spartan pikemen lost some, the loss of other arms was not large, the cavalry troops in the siege war basically belonged to the show, in the field in the face of the number of motley armies far less than their own, it was enough to let the auxiliary legion charge, and finally let the Macedonian phalanx carry out a fatal blow!

The charge of the Spartan Berserkers was duly undertaken by the Legionnaires, who were numerous enough to replenish them, even though they were not voluntary......

It was such a method of attrition, but Li Liguo's auxiliary legions were fighting more and more, and when the Frankish army arrived, he already had more than 30,000 auxiliary legions, and most of the soldiers had combat experience!

Well, if you have been on the battlefield even if you watch the drama in the back, you should be considered combat experience......

Anyway, that's what Li Liguo thinks......

When Li Liguo learned through the scouts that the vast majority of the Franks were composed of infantry, only a small number of cavalry troops, and the cavalry troops did not even have horses, he happily decided to fight a field battle with them on the plains!

Oh, by the way, the Frankish archer troops are also weak, don't don't want it......

These Germanic barbarians, who were trained in the Roman legions, did not seem to care too much about the development of ranged troops, and seemed to prefer javelins or ...... Throw the axe!

Yes, there is another news that the scouts brought back, that is, most of the Frankish army is part-time axe-throwers, and the Franks have many weapons, shields, axes, long and short swords, spears, etc., but their armor is the same as all the poor Germanic ghosts, except for leather armor, which is unarmoured......

Those who can wear iron armor are all chieftain-level people......

It's a pity that they didn't annihilate many regular Roman legions, so they didn't capture a lot of armor, and the armor rate of Rome's second-rate troops was actually quite bad......

In any case, the number of Franks is still quite scary, and it deserves to be taken seriously by Li Liguo! (To be continued.) )
