You must know that most of the 150,000 troops of the Eastern Roman Empire are professional armies, and there may not be many real Roman legions, but those mercenary legions and auxiliary legions have more or less rich combat experience, and they are by no means comparable to the auxiliary legions hastily pulled up by the Western Roman Empire!

Unlike the Western Roman Empire, the Eastern Roman Empire was plagued by the Sassanid Empire established by the Persians, and later encountered the Huns, who were about to conquer the world, and they knew very well the role of cavalry in warfare!

Therefore, the Eastern Roman Empire formed a lot of cavalry troops, and this time to conquer the reckless Spartan Kingdom, more than 20,000 cavalry troops were dispatched!

The Eastern Roman Emperor's idea is very simple, the cavalry troops can't beat your Spartan cavalry head-on, but we can use the number of people to consume you, even if you can't die, dragging the world-famous cavalry of the Spartan Kingdom is a huge victory!

In the army of the Kingdom of Sparta, in addition to the short-lived cluster of archers, the most awesome thing is the small number of elite cavalry!

The generals of the Eastern Roman Empire discussed that even an elite hoplite formation against those elite Spartan horsemen would be a crushing victory!

Moreover, let the elite iron cavalry of the Spartan Kingdom take the initiative to attack the Roman heavy infantry phalanx lined up, unless the Spartan king Li Liguo has a brain cramp......

Therefore, if you want to drag the cavalry of the Spartan Kingdom from any possible direction, you can only resist it with cavalry units with equally good mobility!

The generals of the Eastern Roman Empire also knew that their cavalry would definitely not be able to defeat the opposite side, and then an army of more than 20,000 cavalry came over......

As for the archer cluster of the Spartan Kingdom, it is better to solve, the Eastern Roman Empire is not without archers, as long as it is reorganized and trained collectively, you can shoot against the Spartan archers, it's a big deal to hurt each other to see who can shoot whom, anyway, the archers of the Eastern Roman Empire have!

The 150,000 army drove over, and it was impossible to avoid the heavily reconnoitred Spartan scouts, Li Liguo soon knew the difficulty of this Eastern Roman army, obviously, the army of the Spartan Kingdom fought with them in the field, and the chances of victory were really not good......

The birth time of the Spartan army is too short, and there is no decent heavy infantry legion like the Roman legion, if there is no cavalry advantage and archer advantage, and it is hard to face the elite Eastern Roman Empire legion in the field, Li Liguo can't believe that those soldiers who have just converted from slavery status can have strong resilience to carry out bloody battles with heavy casualties......

However, the victory or defeat of the main field is unknown, but Li Liguo has a great advantage this time, he is on the defensive side!

Defender, what a wonderful identity, in wars in history, the attacker is more difficult than the defender, this is common sense!

The army of 100,000 slaves may have a worrying field ability, but if they are allowed to defend the city......

It's definitely a lot stronger than the field!

Li Liguo made full adjustments to the 200,000-strong army, he divided the Italian peninsula into several general lines of defense, sent slave legions into various cities to defend, and the main Spartan legions from 1 to 5 were used as mobile troops!

At the same time, Li Liguo also carried out a spiritual offensive against the slave-born soldiers, and the themes were all ready-made!

It's the Romans on the other side!

It's the Romans who once enslaved you!

Do you want to go back to the time when your life was decided by the Romans, or do you want to fight for your own free identity?

Above all, the great, invincible King of Sparta will lead you to victory!

All you need to do is simple, try to kill as many Romans as possible!

The reason is very simple, none of the slaves who can serve in the army want to go back to the dark life of the past!

This time, these slaves are not only fighting for the king of Sparta, but also for their hard-won freedom!

Under Li Liguo's deliberate propaganda, no slave would have imagined that the Romans in the east would mercifully pardon their slave status......

After the idea of the 100,000 slave army was completed, if Li Liguo wanted to fully block the Eastern Roman Empire, what he needed the most was naturally the direction of the opponent's army!

That's an army of 150,000, if you don't know the direction of the main force on the opposite side and scatter the army to defend, no city can stop the attack of the 150,000 army!

The Spartan cavalry units were all turned into armed scouts to closely monitor the movements of the Eastern Roman Empire's army!

The army of the Eastern Roman Empire was naturally not stupid, and also sent a large number of scouts to probe the information of the Spartan army......

Then, the commanders of the Eastern Roman Empire discovered a powerful place for the Spartan army, sporadic battles between scouts, and the Eastern Roman Empire was almost completely defeated!

Li Liguo knew very well that the victory of this battle would depend entirely on the amount of battlefield intelligence, and that it was not only necessary to obtain the enemy's intelligence, but also to blind the enemy to his own deployment!

It is conceivable that if Li Liguo can unilaterally control the transparency of battlefield intelligence, when the Eastern Roman army collides headlong, Li Liguo can concentrate the slave army and deploy strong troops to block the Eastern Roman army at fixed points, and then ambush the powerful field corps in the rear of the Eastern Roman army and other directions, and maybe, there can be a classic front and rear flanking attack!

No matter how bad it is, it can cut off the logistics of the Eastern Roman army and happily drag down the footsteps of the Eastern Roman army!

Li Liguo, who has a home advantage, can be invincible even if he is dry!

The generals of the Eastern Roman Empire army naturally knew the importance of battlefield information, and after a large number of scouts were killed, they sent out the cavalry legion in anger!

However, scouts are not the same as marching, and to obtain information must be manned in all directions, which means that the cavalry has to divide their forces. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Divide it, hundreds of cavalry troops, can't beat your Spartan scouts?

It's a pity that Li Liguo did not hesitate to send all the cavalry troops of Sparta, even Guan Yu went into battle!

The duel between the scouts turned into a skirmish between the cavalry!

As a result, it was clear that with a small difference in numbers, the Spartan cavalry completely infused the Roman cavalry!

In just a few days, thousands of Roman cavalry units were eaten by the Spartan cavalry, and the generals of the Eastern Roman Empire had no choice but to withdraw the cavalry troops, which was too great......

After withdrawing the cavalry units, the losses were reduced, but the information about the battlefield was completely lost, and the army of the Eastern Roman Empire completely became blind!

The marching Eastern Roman legions had to stop, they hesitated, should they continue the attack? Or is it conservative to go back? (To be continued.) )
