When the sky was hazy and faintly bright, the Roman soldiers who were on top of the siege network saw a terrible sight. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoTens of thousands of old men, women, with scrawny children, in the city of Alesia, were driven out of the city by the Gauls themselves and came to the encirclement of the Roman legions.

The guards urgently informed Caesar of this information, but the reply was not to harm them, and not to accept them......

This is actually what it means to force this group of refugees to return to the city.

However, Vicintoli had already had the soldiers close the gates.

"Go back!"

The soldiers of the Roman legions shouted loudly at the wall, in fact, the slaughter of unarmed civilians was not an act of honor, and the Roman soldiers were not willing to do so until their men were defeated, plus Caesar had orders not to harm these civilians. Therefore, the legionnaires could only shout at the wall, signaling the Gallic refugees not to approach the siege net, because if they went any further, they would approach the various traps laid by the legions.

However, the Gallic refugees simply did not understand what the Roman soldiers were shouting. Or they didn't want to hear it either, and hunger drove them in the direction of the Roman legionary walls. The legionnaires on the wall could only watch as the group of refugees walked into the trap they had set in advance.

These trench traps, filled with sharp wooden stakes, were originally used against Gallic warriors, but now they are the mass graves of these Gallic refugees.

The first to step into the trap was a Gallic woman, who fell like a dry straw and fell weakly, and then, before he could scream, he was pierced by a sharp stake.

Blood stained the stake red.

The Gallic refugees screamed, knowing that there was a Roman trap ahead of them, and they could not go any further. In the rear, however, the gates of Alesia were tightly closed. No one could have imagined the mood of these Gallic refugees at this moment, and it was more painful for them to be tormented by hunger than to have their throats cut by a sword, and they wandered like lonely ghosts in the desolate clearing between the two armies, without even a tree to be seen. Because the Romans cut down all the trees here, they couldn't even eat the bark......

"Poor man."

Appis stood in the middle of the legionnaires, watching as the Gallic women approached with their children, the old men, and walked back weakly. They longed for Vicintoli to open the gates, and at the same time, they pinned their hopes on the side of the Roman legions, and at the moment they wanted only one of the two sides to accept them. Even if it's just a jug of water, a slice of bread. However, as time passed, neither the gates of the Roman barracks nor the gates of Alesia were opened.

For five days, the Gallic refugees wandered the open space between the Roman barracks and the city of Alesia, and eventually starved to death in the desolate land.

Although it is recorded that Vicintoli eventually opened the gates of the city and allowed the refugees to return to the city. However, Appis did not see this scene in the end.

Now that the last of the Gauls in the city were gone, the Gallic soldiers who had lost their loved ones could not vent their anger on their commanders, but could only desire to go to war and fight to the death with the Roman legions, and they would rather die on this land than see their executioners still standing on this wall. In essence, Vicintoli had to pay some responsibility for the death of these Gallic refugees, but everyone knew that the real murderers were the Roman legions......

Viccintoli gave the go-ahead to these furious Gallic soldiers. Although he also knew that letting these weak stragglers go out of the city and attack the camp of the Roman legions would only kill them. But, with the assurance that most of the soldiers would remain at their posts, Vicintoli acquiesced to the impulses of these individual Gallic men.

In the afternoon of the same day, the Gallic defenders of the city saw that the brothers and comrades-in-arms, who had been in high spirits in the morning, eager to fight the Romans, were now lying outside the siege network of the Roman legions, and their ladders had not even had a chance to be erected on the Roman walls.

The Roman soldiers cleaned up the bodies of the Gallic soldiers lying in the trenches that afternoon and continued back above the wall, awaiting the surrender of Vicintoli in the city.

In fact, all the soldiers were also waiting for the final siege of the Gallic army. For, on the first night of the siege of Alesia, all the Roman soldiers knew that there was a group of Gallic cavalry, with a letter from Viccintoli asking for help, had rushed out of the encirclement of the legions. At this moment, three weeks have passed since the breakthrough of that day, and the reinforcements of the Gauls in the city are almost arriving.

"Rabienus, everything that should be over is over, what hasn't started yet, it's beginning. The wild dog of Viccintoli has been trapped on that hill by us, gnawing on his toes, and he is powerless to resist our legions. But the real challenges we face are just beginning. I saw myself in the mirror, and I saw myself in a few days to stand in the vast sea of barbarians, fighting with the soldiers against the siege of these beasts. ”

Alesia has been standing there quietly for more than half a month. And in the barracks of the Roman legions, Caesar had already thought about the next development of this battle. This situation is not difficult to predict, and it will not be long before the legions will definitely be besieged by a large number of barbarians, but how many of them there are, no one knows, not even Caesar himself. Successfully defeating this barbarian army, Rome would conquer Gaul once and for all. But if it fails, and the Gauls besiege the camp and siege nets, then all the Romans here today will no longer be able to escape the bloody and vengeful massacre of the Gauls.

"The soldiers are ready, Caesar."

Rabbi Enus replied calmly. At this moment, everyone no longer had the despair of being driven to death by Vicintoli, but looked forward to the last battle, where the last resistance of the Gauls would be crushed. Rabienus was not surprised. It had been too long since he had returned to his home to be reunited with his wife and daughter.

"Rabienus, follow me through this last battle, and we will return to Rome in glory. The Senate will hold a grand triumphal ceremony for us, and you and I will be glorified and rich. And you will also be reunited with your wife and daughter. ”

Caesar easily saw the psychology of his friend, and comforted him softly.

Perhaps, with Rabienus, Caesar was more concerned with his old friend than with the orders and encouragement of his superiors. (To be continued.) )
