Asistus took him to a map of northern Etruscans on the table, pointed at the map and said: "At dusk, I received Hasdruba from Vladimir A messenger sent by the Runners-up Barracks in Lorentia, where a large number of Gauls appeared, the exact number is not yet clear, Hasdruba estimated that it will not be less than 20,000. Then I received a message from Luca The messengers sent by the military camp also showed up Gauls there, and the number of them exceeded 10,000. In addition, no other information was received... This is the current situation."

"Haven't received any news from Aretium Barracks?"

"Not currently available."

Patroclus once visited the Border Corps and learned about the military quality of that Corps soldiers. He believed that if Gauls appeared near the Aretium Barracks, they would definitely respond quickly. It is impossible that even a messenger would be unable to do so. Sent out, so he pondered for a while and made his own judgment: "It seems that this time the Gauls are still invading from the north of the northern Etruscan border. Tribe!"

"The possibility of the Senonis is very high, but the Salvis tribe has also been harassing Etruscans in recent years. If the number of Gauls invading this time is too large, Thrall cannot be ruled out. It is possible that the Weiss people are also involved."

Patroclus nodded.

Since Dionia took over the Latham area, Asistes and the others began to collect a large amount of information about the Gauls, the greatest threat to the kingdom in the north, and finally figured out how high they are in Italy. The origin of Lu people.

The Gauls originally lived in the north of the Alps. Many years ago (Gauls have no age, no text, no specific age can be determined). The Gauls in the north of the Alps were in the wise chief Abigato. Under the rule of Sis, there was peace and tranquility and a prosperous life. As a result, the population skyrocketed, and the output of the original land could not support the excessive population. So Abigatos decided to let the excess population colonize the new land, and finally chose a few people. Young and promising young people act as leaders and draw lots to decide where they will colonize.

Belovesus, the son of Abigatos sister, was drawn south of the colonial Alps. For the Gauls at that time, this was undoubtedly an extremely bad luck, because the Alps were inaccessible and difficult to access. It would have taken a huge risk to cross it, not to mention that no one knew what the situation south of the Alps would be like.

Belovesus was young and courageous. Under his encouragement, the young people of the six tribes were also not afraid of difficulties. They resolutely went south. After going through a lot of hardships, I discovered the famous Taurini Pass, and then crossed the Alps and entered the northern part of Italy. They drove away the original owners, the Etruscans, centered on Mediolan (modiolanium, or modern Milan), settled down, called themselves "Salves", and gradually outwards expansion.

Many years later, the Gaul tribe north of the Alps heard that Belovisus had a good time after taking people to settle in the south, and was a little excited. Then the Gaul led by the Kenomani tribe came to The leader of Etitovius also crossed the Alps into northern Italy, and with the help of the Salves, settled in the east with Verona as the center.

In the following ten years, these two tribes rapidly expanded to the surrounding area, defeating the Etruscans in the north for many times, and forced them to migrate south, which also led to the former overlord of central and northern Italy Itt The Luria began to decline.

After more than ten years, another large Gallic tribe in the north of the Alps decided to move south and into northern Italy, but at this time there was no more vacant land in the Po Plain. The upper reaches are occupied by the Ligurians (liguria), the lower reaches are occupied by the Veneti (veneti), the most extensive and fertile central part is occupied by the two major tribes of Gaul Salvis and Knomani. The Nones had to cross the Po River into the hilly mountains in the south, drive the Etruscans in the mountains further south, and settle down with Boloma as the center (bonoma, modern Bologna).

In the years that followed, the Zenonius people south of the Po River didn’t think about occupying the lower Po River plains occupied by the Vinetti people, and they repeatedly launched against the Vinetti people. After the war, they also seized some of the land of Winetti, but in the end, the people of Winetti couldn’t do anything about it. This was because at this time there were swamps in the lower reaches of Bohe River, the water nets were vertical and horizontal, and the land was muddy. It was originally a mountain race of Gaul. People are very uncomfortable in fighting here, and although the Winetti people are not native natives of the Po Plain, after they migrated from Illyria on the other side of the Adriatic Sea, hundreds of years have passed and they have already been familiar with the here. The environment, so after suffering a lot of losses, the Senonius people finally decided to maintain peace with the Winetti people for a long time.

The Ligurians in the upper reaches are said to be one of the Celts. They migrated along the coast to the Italian region very early, but they never reached a unity, and the tribes often fought against each other. But they are also extremely xenophobic. The Salvis had invaded many times and were stubbornly counterattacked by them. As a result, the Salvis found that these Ligurians were shorter than them, but they were as strong as them and more ferocious than them. After suffering several major failures and discovering that the Ligurians were not easy to mess with, the Salvis finally had to restore peace with the Ligurians.

In this way, the Gaul looks around, and the Etruscans in the south are the best bully.

At this time, after decades of development, coupled with occasional small tribes of Gaul who overcame from the north of the mountain, the population of Gaul in Shannan has doubled several times, especially for those living in hilly and mountainous areas. As far as the Senonius tribe is concerned, the land they occupy is less and barren, the demand for expanding their territory is stronger, and their gathering place is closer to the Etruscans.

So around 390 BC, under the leadership of Chief Brennum, the Senonians climbed over the rolling mountains, invaded the Etruscan territory, and defeated the Romans in the Battle of Aria. The main force eventually occupied the city of Rome, but then they fell into the quagmire of war. When Brennum finally decided to lead his people to retreat from Rome and return to their hometown, he was forced to engage in a hasty battle with the Latino coalition led by Camilos, who were chasing up. In the end, the Senonis were defeated. , Was attacked by Etruscans all the way, and less than half of the people fled home. The chieftain Brenlum was also seriously injured. He died soon after returning to Boloma. Not only did the Celonius tribe lose its strength, but it also fell into chaos for a period of time. After that, the northern Etruscan border was quiet for many years. A lot.

It is said that during that period, even if the Senonius tribe were going to looting south, they generally had to pull on the Salvis tribe to support it, thus making the relationship between the two tribes of Shannan Gaul even stronger. Intimacy.

After more than 10 years of recuperation, the strength of the Zenonius people should have recovered a lot, so in recent years they have begun to intensify their invasion of Etruscans. The invasion by a single Zenonius didn't worry Asistes, but if the more powerful Salvis were to join it, it would have to attract the attention of the kingdom.

"I believe that tomorrow, we will get more news about the Gauls, which will be more conducive for us to formulate countermeasures. But what I am worried about is that there are so many Gauls invading, led by Lord Hasdruba The Frontier Legion...can you hold on to the barracks before our reinforcements arrive?" Asistes said with some worry, he didn’t say something in his heart: Hasdruba is a relative of his Majesty, and he was a relative of his Majesty. The fact that the Carthaginians who had just returned not long ago were able to directly serve as the commander of the army shows that King Davos attaches great importance to him. If he is killed in this Gauls invasion, it will probably arouse the anger of King Davos.

"Don’t worry, my lord, the three barracks in the north are built as strong as fortresses, and the defense facilities are also very complete, not inferior to Paragonia back then. And as far as I know, the Gaul’s siege ability Not strong, even if they have a large number of fighters, it is not easy to break through the barracks. The Hasdruba Corps commander is fully able to hold on until our reinforcements arrive!" Patroclus said with confidence.

"I hope so, but we also have to hurry up to send troops. When the 14th Army and the reserve soldiers of the Roman area are assembled, how many people can there be?" Assistus asked seriously.

"33,250 people." Patroclus said a number immediately.

More than 33,000 people are enough to form 4 legions. This number is really amazing for a region that has not been incorporated into the Kingdom of Dionia for a long time, but the Roman region (especially Rome) was young and middle-aged when it returned to the kingdom. The population was already quite large, and at that time it was easy to form an army of tens of thousands (Roman reserve brigade and Roman noble soldiers) to follow the main force of the Dionian army to fight. Later, Daves designated Lamín as a key development area for the kingdom. Regardless of whether it is a newly transferred official citizen or a newly adult citizen of the kingdom, priority is given to this area, so the Roman area has the fastest population growth in the entire kingdom in recent years.

As the regional chief executive, Asistes was not surprised. He mused and said: "If the allies give full support, about 50,000 to 60,000 people can come. Even if there are half of them, there will be 20,000 to 30,000 people. In addition to our own army, I think it is possible to repel the invading Gauls by relying only on our own strength in the Roman area. This is what His Majesty hoped to achieve when he established the Dionian League in central Italy. Goal."
