Chapter 37: The Next Goal (Fourth Update)

With Li Liguo's conquest of the entire Gaul region, the main infantry corps of the Kingdom of Sparta swelled up like a balloon, and when the entire Gaul region, including the future Spanish Peninsula, was under his control, Li Liguo's military strength had reached an unprecedented 5 legions!

More than 20,000 people in one legion!

And that's not even counting the Spartan cavalry!

Li Liguo, who has always had lingering thoughts about long-range troops, has finally completed his goal, a whole legion of long-range delivery troops!

The main force among them is naturally the archers, and the others are the operators of the trebuchets, which are Roman torsion trebuchets!

Stone projectiles can be thrown and oil-soaked and then ignited firebombs!

This legion is the Fifth Legion of the Kingdom of Sparta, and it is the last legion formed by Li Liguo!

The other 4 legions are melee infantry, so organizing the legion is actually not a very scientific approach, it may be very useful in large group battles, and the long-range troops can be better concentrated, but the long-range troops are too concentrated, so that these 5 legions lose the ability to fight alone!

However, for Li Liguo, this is not a problem, what he has to do is to fight the main force and then destroy the country!

Instead of long-term development to stick to the turf!

Now the kingdom of Sparta is very famous, and the cities under his rule are not garrisoned by legionnaires at all, only a small number of local security forces are maintained, but none of the cities dare to riot, even if the success rate of the rebellion in this case is about 100%!

But these people are very afraid of Li Liguo's revenge, the Kingdom of Sparta has made it clear that any city that launches a riot and succeeds will be slaughtered by the Kingdom of Sparta for 3 days!

Even if there are many people who are dissatisfied with the high-pressure rule of the Spartan Kingdom, before the riot, they will first think about how much resistance their city has in front of the Spartan Kingdom with an army of 100,000......

Obviously, even the most uninformed turtle knows that riots are tantamount to death......

Although Li Liguo has obtained the vast Gallic region and the Spanish Peninsula, the formation of an army of 100,000 is not something that can be done with words, and it is quite fatal to the local sucking!

Behind the military power of the Kingdom of Sparta is the suffering of the common people!

The patriarchs of the Western Roman Empire unanimously agreed that with such a brainless expansion army as the Kingdom of Sparta, it would not take them a few years to bring themselves down!

Of course, there was another solution for the Spartan kingdom, which was to invade the richer regions and then rely on plunder to feed that huge army!

And the richest place next to Gaul is not the Italian peninsula?

Therefore, the Western Roman Empire used almost all its strength to expand its forces against the Kingdom of Sparta!

A year after Li Liguo came to this world, his army of five legions was finally trained and matured, and he used the Roman-style training method and used Roman-style weapons, but the soldiers' equipment could not be equipped with shields and javelins, short swords and iron armor like the Roman legions......

Most of the Spartan legionnaires were unarmoured, wearing only a layer of cloth and holding a short sword or knife axe, and only the essence of each legion, that is, the soldiers standing in the front row during the formation, had Roman rectangular shields, javelins, helmets, armor and other standard equipment of Roman soldiers!

Relatively speaking, the equipment of the legendary Spartan Praetorian Guard is very extravagant, and there is a layer of scale armor on the outside of the chain mail all over the body, and the protective power of the double-layer iron armor can be imagined!

The weapons in his hand are one-handed axes and Greek-style iron shields, well, the legendary Spartan warriors are used to using Greek-style shields, and Li Liguo specially ordered people to create them!

And they also have short swords in their waists, javelins in their backs, and daggers in their legs, so to speak, the legendary Spartan Janissaries are really very thoroughly armed!

The Spartan cavalry is no exception, and there should be a lot of them!

If it weren't for the lack of steelmaking technology in the Roman era, Li Liguo would have armed his descendants with steel armor!

If you send the equipment of the Spartan descendants, the most expensive army is the Spartan Fifth Legion, not that the soldiers of the Fifth Legion are well equipped with armor, and the archers are also unarmoured, and they don't even have hand-to-hand weapons......

But all they use are well-made bows and armor-piercing arrows!

Li Liguo has tried, this kind of armor-piercing arrow is very powerful against the iron armor on the Roman soldiers!

After looting the Gallic region and the Spanish Peninsula to a height of three feet, Li Liguo finally launched his goal for the next goal, which is the ultimate goal of the mission!

The whole of Europe turned their attention to the Kingdom of Sparta and the Western Roman Empire, because they knew that Li Liguo's reckless military approach must be targeted, unless he was brain-dead!

Obviously, Li Liguo, who can beat the Germanic barbarians to the point of not wanting to, is definitely a vicious hero-like character!

Who will be the next target to be pressed to the ground by Li Liguo and rubbed vigorously?

Anyone with eyes knows that the Western Roman Empire is going to be unlucky!

Of course, it's not that these people are not optimistic about the Western Roman Empire, it's just that over the years, the Western Roman Empire has sunset, and the Spartan Kingdom has risen from the end of the world and launched a big kingdom all the way!

Although Li Liguo's methods were very brutal, the fact that the army of the Spartan Kingdom was very capable of fighting was recognized by everyone!

In this way, Li Liguo took hundreds of thousands of people and more than 100,000 troops, almost rushed out of the nest to the Western Roman Empire, and before leaving, he made a statement, this time if he does not win, he will die!

The Kingdom of Sparta has put on a posture of breaking the ship to attack the Western Roman Empire!

But the strange thing is that the empty rear of the Spartan kingdom has not been disturbed in any way!

The Germanic barbarians and Gallic civilians are all watching to see if the Kingdom of Sparta can achieve victory again, this time Li Liguo set off at the end of the autumn harvest in Gaul and the Spanish Peninsula, almost all the grain stocks were forcibly requisitioned by the soldiers of the Kingdom of Sparta, it can be said that this winter, a large number of people in the Gallic region and the Spanish Peninsula will definitely starve to death!

The population and strength of the Kingdom of Sparta will be greatly weakened, but if Li Liguo wins and takes the Italian peninsula, this weakening will be insignificant!

Because the Italian peninsula is quite rich!

Under the expectant gaze of everyone (expecting Li Liguo's army to perish quickly!) The army of the Kingdom of Sparta entered the territory of the Western Roman Empire, and after a crushing encounter wiped out the few vigilance troops of the Western Roman Empire, the all-out war officially began!
