"We failed. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"No, we haven't lost yet, we only lost 20,000 soldiers in this battle, but the anti-Roman alliance is still not divided, and we still have the strength to resist, don't we? Our people can still be supplied and heated in the winter, and the Romans, who have to count their spoils, have more difficulty in supplying than us, and as long as all the tribes continue to be on our side, one day, we will be able to defeat the Romans again. ”

After the defeat of the Plain Battle, the Gallic tribes were demoralized, and the people were depressed and depressed because of the defeat of a battle. There were even a few tribes who had not taken a firm position in the first place, and wanted to go back to Rome. However, Vicintoli stood on the podium of the tribal assembly, raising his arms and shouting. He appealed to all Gauls not to lose all their fighting spirit because of a defeat in one battle.

"The Roman legions are fighting on our land, they are a herd of cattle, and all their food and grass supply depends on the rations of the various tribes, and if we cut off the supply of food and grass to them, the Romans will one day be starving and incapacitated, and then our army will besiege them again and crush them."

"You mean to trap these Romans on our land?"

Nikulolas, the leader of the Elvesians, asked.

"Yes, the Romans came to our land and wanted to conquer and enslave us, but their supplies and food and grass must depend on the supply of the surrounding tribes, as long as we let these tribes submit to our side and do not supply the Roman legions with food and grass, the Roman army will not be able to stay in our land for long."

Vicin Toli rationally analyzed.

"But they will plunder, even if those tribes have joined our alliance, but if the tribes do not supply the Romans with food, then what should we do if these Roman armies forcibly plunder and conquer these tribes?"

Nikulas then asked.

"Burn it. Before the arrival of the Romans, all that could be taken away was taken away, and everything that could not be taken was burned. So the Romans would not be able to get any supplies from our land. ”

Viccintoli replied coldly. But it was a more effective way to do it, after all, the Gauls had little hope of winning a head-on war with the Roman legions, as many Gallic tribes had come to after shedding countless blood and sacrificing countless soldiers. Therefore, this tactic of Vicintoli now sounds not completely unreasonable, and it can even be said to be a more rational approach. If you can't defeat your opponent, you will drag your opponent down.

"We need the support of more tribes."

After listening to Vicintoli's lobbying, Nikulas soon realized that in order to achieve this plan, he had to win the support of the vast majority of the Gallic tribes, otherwise he would burn his own towns, which not every chief could do, and only the tribes who were firmly on the side of the anti-Roman alliance and who had faith in Vicintoli were willing to do so.

"Yes, so, now, I need you, I need you to go out and help me lobby more clans to join our alliance. Let's act, there is hope for us, and if we do not want to be enslaved by the Romans forever, now is my only chance to rebel against Rome, and if this war is lost, we will never again be able to form such a large and strong alliance. Elder Nikulas. ”

At the tribal assembly, Viccintoli again spoke passionately, hoping that more Gallic tribesmen would rise up against Rome instead of fighting each other and eventually be conquered by Rome one by one.

"We still have a chance!"

Nikulas joined Vicintoli and shouted loudly until the other Gallic chieftains, who had lost hope and swayed from side to side, stood up again.

"Vicin Toli!"

As the new leader of the Delawries, Babel, shouted the name of Vicintoli, more people stepped forward, and the scene burned like an uncontrollable fire. More of the Gallic tribal chiefs stood up and shouted their willingness to obey the Vicintoli commander-in-chief, for the previous battle, had it not been for their own initiative to fight the Romans, the tribal alliance would not have come to the point where it is today, and Vicintoli had tried to wait until winter came to bring down the Roman legions. But they did not agree, and this time, they were firmly on the side of Vicintoli.

One of the largest scorched earth operations in the history of Gaul was about to begin......

……

"Caesar?"

The victory of the legions outside the city of Ribry did not ease Caesar's mood, but only increased the anxiety of the Roman commander.

Antony walked up to Caesar and handed over a glass of fine wine captured by the Gallic baggage convoy, which was probably one of their best trophies.

"Caesar, what are you worrying about? Once again, we have defeated the barbarians. ”

Anthony said lazily as he sipped his wine and leaned against the railing of the balcony. It is true that on the battlefield, Antony was a highly decorated cavalry commander, and his bravery and command ability were unquestionable, but in terms of national strategy, this brave Roman general still lacked many things.

"I'm worried about our next food problems. An army of 20,000 men consumed a lot of grain every day, but most of the Gallic tribes had rebelled. There are not many tribes left that can provide us with food and grass, and we will not even survive this winter without the baggage of this captured Gallic army. Although Viccintoli was defeated, there were still many Gauls who supported him, and they were unwilling to take refuge in Rome, so we had no food supply, and it was not enough to count on the food that Rome would bring in from Rome. ”

Caesar squinted his eyes at the still lively Legionnaires in the barracks, who were clearly still cheering and celebrating the victory in the battle a week earlier. No one realized that all the Roman armies would face great difficulties in supplying them, and this was precisely what Caesar was worried about.

"We can wait until the beginning of spring next year to continue the offensive and conquer the other tribes again. Conquer their towns, and we will have food and grass for us. ”

Anthony felt that Caesar was a little worried, so he continued without shame. In fact, the same was true of the Roman legions' previous battles in Gaul, where the army went, and then the conquered tribes had to provide rations to the Roman legions, and the tribes that did not provide the legions with food and grass, the Roman legions would regard the tribe as a rebellion, and sell the inhabitants of the towns into slavery. Therefore, Antony's idea was normal in the eyes of most Roman officers, and everyone relied on this to fight the war in the first place.

"Antony, you see, we were able to do this in the past, because the tribes of Gaul fought on their own, and they fought against us one tribe after another, and those who surrendered surrendered, and those who did not want to surrender to Rome fought a decisive battle with us. However, the tribes that were not willing to accept Roman rule before, they had nowhere to go unless they fought a decisive battle with us, and the other tribes, the surrounding tribes were their enemies, and even if they were not enemies with each other, no one wanted to annoy us, to annoy the Roman legions, and therefore no one wanted to accept their migration and emigration, so they had no choice but to stay in their land and hand over their hostages, weapons and food after defeat. But now the situation was different, and the wild dog, Vicintoli, gathered the largest coalition in all of Gaul to form the Gallic Anti-Roman League. When the war starts again next year, which tribe our legions go to, they can transfer all the food and material to the towns of the other tribes before the war with us, leaving only the rations needed by the fighters, and then fight us in a decisive battle, and we are victorious, and there is hardly any supply. You can only get an empty city. This situation, Anthony, have you thought about it? ”

Caesar took the wine handed by Anthony and took a small sip with a heavy mind, not as frivolous as Anthony, Caesar always thought a lot, a lot in advance......
