A group of Burgundian soldiers, whose weapons and equipment are mostly from Roman soldiers, have very poor discipline, and it is predictable that the Burgundians fighting are definitely a classic swarm of bee patterns, well, they are not without merit, the soldiers are all fierce and brutal, eager for war and plunder, and full of blood and courage when fighting.

However, these things Spartan soldiers also have, and after the exclusive civilization morale bonus, the morale of the Spartans, who were originally a fighting nation, has been maintained in the frenzy stage, and the morale of the barbarian soldiers is not inferior!

And the number of people on the other side is only a little more than twice his own, Li Liguo has reason and confidence to defeat them!

Because he also has one of the greatest advantages, those Burgundians do not know their situation in the slightest!

The Spartan light cavalry scouts were exploring the other party's intelligence at the same time, but also blocking the scouts of the Burgundians, the Germanic peoples were mainly infantry, and the cavalry was very scarce, and it was not even as good as the garbage cavalry of the Romans, naturally, the Burgundians who belonged to the Germanic branch, and the cavalry force was about equal to nothing.

The Burgundians were surprised to find that the sentinels they sent out were intercepted by a group of regular cavalry scouts and suffered heavy losses, the outfit of the Spartan light cavalry was not too different from that of the Roman cavalry, and the careless barbarian Burgundians did not notice these subtle differences, most of them thought that their sentinels were only killed by the Roman cavalry in front, and only a few Burgundian commanders were suspicious, but they had just annihilated the main force of the Romans, and they did not take the remnants of the Roman troops to heart.

Because, in Gaul, the Germanic armies actually surpassed the armies of the Western Roman Empire!

The Italian Peninsula of the Western Roman Empire was being threatened by the Huns, and the Visigoths had become powerful at this time, and if the Western Roman Empire did not want to lose its own Italian Peninsula, it would definitely not send a small number of elite troops to the distant Gaul region!

Rome, the capital of the Western Roman Empire, is right on the Italian peninsula!

In this way, Li Liguo happily dispatched troops easily and naturally under the condition of transparent information on the unilateral battlefield, and under the surprised eyes of the Burgundians, he chose a plain near the city of Trier to block their migratory army!

The Burgundians had to take on what appeared to be a well-armed enemy.

However, to the confusion of the Burgundians, the opposing army did not wear the clothing of Roman soldiers, let alone the flag of the Western Roman Empire!

The Burgundian arrogantly sent a messenger to ask Li Liguo which side of the army belonged to, what tribe it came from, and why he wanted to block the army of the Burgundians!

This is something that everyone has discussed, looking at the number and posture of this army, the tribe on the opposite side should not be obscure, why is it so ignorant of the rules?

There are so many things for the Burgundians to figure out!

And Li Liguo's response is very simple, we are the army of the Kingdom of Sparta, and the great king of Sparta gives you Burgundians a chance to surrender!

The Burgundians are rightly angry!

Spartans?

An ancient Greek city-state that had long been conquered by the Roman Empire?

Which onion do you have in particular?

The Burgundians listed the offensive positions in a clamour, in fact, they put the soldiers who could fight in front, the old and weak, women and children in the back, and the soldiers and civilians separated, well, so that it is convenient to cut people......

The information given by the Spartan light cavalry scouts was quite reliable, and Li Liguo, who was standing on the high platform, saw that the number of soldiers on the opposite side would definitely not exceed 30,000, and the number of soldiers in the sky was more than 20,000......

The Spartan army also listed the formation to deal with at the same time, with the Spartan pikemen lined up in the Macedonian phalanx in the middle, the Spartan berserkers on the two wings, and the Spartan cavalry units were placed as reserves on the flank, with the Spartan heavy cavalry with strong impact on one side and the Spartan lancers on the other, and the Spartan saber light cavalry wandering around the periphery of the battlefield.

Since the Burgundians are keen to take the initiative to attack, Li Liguo is naturally happy to put on a defensive posture, even in the field, the defending side still has a slight advantage, but unfortunately, he does not have a strong long-range troops, otherwise, the Burgundians on the opposite side, who are mainly hand-to-hand soldiers, do not even have the qualifications to fight against him!

With the sound of a trumpet, a Burgundian warrior with a Roman shield and a double-edged sword, or a spear, roared and began to jog, and then gradually increased in speed!

Although these Burgundians did not have too strict discipline and organization, after all, they were all experienced veterans on the battlefield, and they all had their own understanding of how to maintain their physical strength and kill!

The army of Sparta is ready and unwavering!

However, the approach of the Burgundians made Li Liguo fully aware of the fatal flaws of the Macedonian phalanx, and also made Li Liguo understand why the Roman legions did not inherit the use of the Macedonian phalanx at all!

Approaching a dozen paces, the Burgundians, taking advantage of the inertia of the charge, threw their spears and spears at each other, and a deadly throwing weapon descended on the head of the Spartan pikeman, who had only a small round shield and spear in both hands!

The Achilles heel of the Macedonian phalanx, in the face of the weak protective power of the throwing weapon, the small shield area, or holding a two-handed super long spear, trying to block the throwing weapon in the sky, is tantamount to a fool's dream!

Hula, the front row of the Spartan pikemen fell down, Li Liguo couldn't help but gasp, the opponent he met before was unable to hit Li Liguo's Macedonian phalanx with long-range weapons for one reason or another, and the strong offensive power of the Macedonian phalanx made Li Liguo taste the sweetness, and gradually ignored this defect, this time he suffered a small loss in front of these Burgundians who had learned the tactics of the Romans!

Although the front row of the Macedonian phalanx was killed by throwing weapons, the Spartan pikemen sent by Li Liguo were numerous, and the phalanx was quite thick, and those Burgundians who had just learned how to throw javelins from the Roman legions naturally couldn't have follow-up javelins to cover the hand-to-hand soldiers in front like the Romans!

Thus, the Macedonian phalanx of the Spartan pikemen lived up to expectations and withstood the frontal attack of the Burgundians!

The large number of Burgundians was naturally unwilling to let their forwards be blocked by those extra-long spears, and a group of Burgundian soldiers who did not charge behind the team turned around towards the two wings, and Li Liguo saw this scene, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a mocking smile!
