Chapter 26: Victory
Li Liguo has always been very curious, the Western Roman Empire itself is very corrupt and completely corrupt, and there are many contradictions between the internal senators and the leading generals and even the emperor, basically in the later period of the Western Roman Empire, the Roman generals who can win battles and have high prestige have not got any good ends, and those veterans have not learned anything else, and the experience of being seized by the generals is quite rich, and the Roman generals with high prestige almost died as soon as they were ......
In this way, the Western Roman Empire dragged on for decades before it fell, and even resurrected for a time!
It turned out that the enemies faced by the Western Roman Empire were all like this grandmother......
The mainstream concept of the Western Roman Empire was destroyed in the hands of Germanic barbarians, in fact, the term Germania was first put forward by Julius Caesar, he called the territory around the Rhine and to the east as Germania, which means neighbors, in fact, the Rhine side of the implementation of the tribal alliance system, not only with the Romans perennial hostility, they themselves often have civil wars, completely a barbarian posture.

However, the arrival of the Roman army made the so-called Germanic people understand what is called Roman-style peace, and at the same time, it also allowed these barbarians to learn how to fight, of course, due to the backwardness of the tribal alliance system, these Germanic barbarians only learned the surface, and they could never learn the perfect military system of the Roman Empire.
The embodiment of the institutional gap!
However, even if there were many heroic characters among the Germanic barbarians who had the ability to pinch most of the barbarian tribes together, they still lost more than they won when they faced the Roman Empire, even the corrupt Roman Empire legions!
It can be said that the armies of the Romans were mainly played by their own people in civil wars, and not by those Germanic barbarians!
The Germanic barbarians often play the role of mending the sword, after all, the number of barbarians is still very large.
Just like now, even if the Burgundians on the opposite side split up a frontal attacking army, with two wings and two wings, and thousands of reserves in their large array to do nothing, these people can strike a fatal blow when they gain an advantage in the front, and they can also play the role of sniping the enemy when the front is defeated, so that the war will not be lost so badly.
Under the attack of the Spartan lancers led by Guan Yu and the Spartan heavy cavalry on the other side, those scattered infantry charging arrays once again interpreted the truth that the infantry should not hedge with the cavalry in the plains, and never list the loose lines, otherwise they will definitely die ugly!
In this way, Li Liguo happily looked at his cavalry troops, and at the cost of almost zero casualties, he rushed those Burgundian soldiers who were full of bad breath and kept yelling!
Yes, it is perfect, with a sense of war art, the Burgundian who has no resistance and is trampled to death in various shapes, in Li Liguo's opinion, is so joyful, the Burgundian who rushed forward like a brave warrior one moment is like a fierce warrior, but in the next moment he is like a little girl who has been forced and raped and fled in all directions in horror, this is really a great irony!
"Sparta will win!"
The Spartan pikemen in the center also seemed to be encouraged by the victory of the two wings, and their morale began to rise, and they burst out with great enthusiasm for battle, and the sight of the victory of Sparta and the trampling of the friendly troops of the two wings made the Burgundians in the center panic.
Of course, in order to avoid being surrounded, they slowly retreated backwards, and then were chased and stabbed all the way by the Macedonian phalanx that fully developed their offensive advantages, just like most battlefields in ancient times, even if a well-trained and disciplined army suddenly retreated on the battlefield, it was difficult to hold on without collapsing, not to mention that this group of ordinary organizational strength could not be more ordinary, in Li Liguo's eyes, the retreat of barbarian soldiers whose organizational strength was no different from garbage?!
Now it's time for the happy expansion!
The partial collapse was like a contagion, quickly causing the whole Burgundians to collapse, and those Burgundians who did not even have a uniform were crying and shouting to each other, just hoping to escape from the battlefield at the shortest distance and avoid the Spartan army chasing behind them!
The Burgundians now seem to remember what kind of people the Spartans really were, they also had a glorious history, but it was too long ago to be forgotten by the people, and today, they are witnessing the resurgence of the Spartans!
It's just that no Burgundian wants to witness the rise of Sparta, and the first unlucky guy is himself......
In the event of a collapse of the war, the Burgundian warriors who were in reserve carried out their duty, blocking the way for the sake of their collapsed compatriots, and these Burgundians, who still had the courage to fight, tried to buy the entire tribe time to flee with their sacrifices!
However, the reality is often cruel, if Li Liguo did not have that large cavalry force, maybe the Burgundians could really achieve a good wish, let their defeated people successfully escape from this terrible slaughter field, unfortunately, there are too many in this world, the Burgundians did not meet the what they expected......
After seeing the troops behind the Burgundians, General Guan Yu used his super high personal charm and the strong discipline of the Spartan lancers to quickly gather thousands of Spartan lancers, set up a charging formation, and then charged like an avalanche!
The rumbling hooves of the horses resounded across the earth again, completely cutting off the last hope of escape for the Burgundians, even in a defensive state, these Burgundians still could not list the kind of effective infantry phalanx that was dense against the cavalry, the only one that was stronger than before, was only the Spartan cavalry force with more than a dozen casualties!
After killing a dozen Spartan lancers with great effort, the Burgundians were once again cut through, and then the textbook partition and encirclement were annihilated or collapsed!
The Burgundians obviously couldn't wait for the moment of total annihilation, and soon after Guan Yu broke through, just like the Burgundians before them, they became deserters again!
The Spartan eagle banner rolled forward on the battlefield, the Spartan roar made the Burgundians completely lose the courage to fight, and the Spartan cavalry knelt full of surrendered Burgundians along the way, Li Liguo was still a little different from the Romans after all.
Although Li Liguo was very interested in the Roman-style ambassador of peace, the reality made him have to be merciful and troublesome, because the population he controlled was too small, these barbarian warriors were all in the prime of labor, and there was a very popular soldier in this world, called the Slave Legion, and the Romans used slaves to set a very good example for Li Liguo in their campaigns!
