3 00:00:09,689 --> 00:00:12,349 hell on earth 4 00:00:15,849 --> 00:00:21,480 the rebels and ethnically mixed tribal 5 00:00:18,489 --> 00:00:21,479 people known as Gauls 6 00:00:22,219 --> 00:00:29,919 their champion is the first general to 7 00:00:25,129 --> 00:00:29,919 unite the tribes verson Jetix 8 00:00:33,448 --> 00:00:38,698 his nemesis is one of the most famous 9 00:00:36,088 --> 00:00:41,448 and ruthless generals in ancient history 10 00:00:38,698 --> 00:00:41,448 Julius Caesar 11 00:00:47,448 --> 00:00:51,349 for a hundred years the Romans have 12 00:00:49,759 --> 00:00:56,058 brutally oppressed the Gauls 13 00:00:51,350 --> 00:00:57,908 now it's payback time the stage is set 14 00:00:56,058 --> 00:01:00,439 for one of the greatest military 15 00:00:57,908 --> 00:01:04,308 confrontations in history 16 00:01:00,439 --> 00:01:06,459 a battle of technological wonder that 17 00:01:04,308 --> 00:01:08,859 tests the cunning and resourceful 18 00:01:06,459 --> 00:01:11,569 necedrol 19 00:01:08,859 --> 00:01:14,019 shapes the face of Europe for centuries 20 00:01:11,569 --> 00:01:14,019 to come 21 00:01:14,090 --> 00:01:19,329 and guarantees the future of an empire 22 00:01:35,939 --> 00:01:44,340 it's 52 BC for six years Julius Caesar 23 00:01:40,269 --> 00:01:44,340 has been conducting a brutal campaign 24 00:01:44,629 --> 00:01:51,949 his goal is to conquer the land called 25 00:01:47,519 --> 00:01:51,949 Gaul and turn it into a Roman province 26 00:01:55,739 --> 00:02:01,810 by the time Caesar is given command in 27 00:01:58,510 --> 00:02:03,900 Gaul in 58 BC the Roman Republic had 28 00:02:01,810 --> 00:02:10,860 already expanded into North Africa 29 00:02:03,900 --> 00:02:13,870 Greece Sicily Corsica Cydonia and Spain 30 00:02:10,860 --> 00:02:18,670 but Rome could never entirely subdue its 31 00:02:13,870 --> 00:02:21,939 neighbor to the north gone it had always 32 00:02:18,669 --> 00:02:24,489 been a little tentative about northwards 33 00:02:21,939 --> 00:02:26,379 expansion because the Gauls and the 34 00:02:24,490 --> 00:02:28,420 Romans had a long history 300 year 35 00:02:26,379 --> 00:02:30,609 history of mutual slaughter and 36 00:02:28,419 --> 00:02:33,539 antagonism I mean these people in the 37 00:02:30,610 --> 00:02:36,280 north when they went on invasions were 38 00:02:33,539 --> 00:02:38,699 you know pretty pretty brutal people and 39 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:43,569 they they sacked Rome in the 3rd century 40 00:02:38,699 --> 00:02:47,549 BC as well so a lot of bad blood but the 41 00:02:43,569 --> 00:02:47,549 Roman Republic grows stronger every day 42 00:02:49,139 --> 00:02:54,669 now leading more than 50,000 Roman 43 00:02:52,330 --> 00:02:58,750 soldiers Julius Caesar fights his way 44 00:02:54,669 --> 00:03:00,789 across Gaul with stunning cruelty Caesar 45 00:02:58,750 --> 00:03:03,068 was sent to goal by the Roman Senate as 46 00:03:00,789 --> 00:03:04,989 a proconsul that is to say to conquer 47 00:03:03,068 --> 00:03:07,239 the the area and turn it into a province 48 00:03:04,990 --> 00:03:08,650 of Rome the interesting thing about this 49 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,570 great general is he had never been in 50 00:03:08,650 --> 00:03:13,140 the military and had absolutely no 51 00:03:10,569 --> 00:03:15,969 experience in combat or command at all 52 00:03:13,139 --> 00:03:17,949 so why then do we regard him as a great 53 00:03:15,969 --> 00:03:19,539 general was a fair question to ask and 54 00:03:17,949 --> 00:03:21,609 the answer is he is the first Roman 55 00:03:19,539 --> 00:03:23,979 general to leave not only his memoirs 56 00:03:21,610 --> 00:03:25,750 but a detailed account of all his 57 00:03:23,979 --> 00:03:27,959 campaigns which of course point to his 58 00:03:25,750 --> 00:03:30,580 brilliance and nothing else 59 00:03:27,959 --> 00:03:34,060 Caesar writes enough about the six year 60 00:03:30,580 --> 00:03:36,550 Gallic war to fill seven books while he 61 00:03:34,060 --> 00:03:38,379 regards himself as a military genius his 62 00:03:36,550 --> 00:03:41,110 successes may be explained by the 63 00:03:38,379 --> 00:03:42,969 quality of his army by the time of the 64 00:03:41,110 --> 00:03:45,000 gala campaigns in Gaul the Roman army 65 00:03:42,969 --> 00:03:49,539 was almost thoroughly professionalized 66 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:51,099 but prior to 100 BC it had always been a 67 00:03:49,539 --> 00:03:53,019 militia army so he had to raise new 68 00:03:51,099 --> 00:03:54,280 troops every year trained them and then 69 00:03:53,019 --> 00:03:56,610 put them in control of political 70 00:03:54,280 --> 00:04:00,159 generals and they not created problem 71 00:03:56,610 --> 00:04:01,980 but military reforms instituted fifty 72 00:04:00,159 --> 00:04:04,150 years before Caesar comes to power 73 00:04:01,979 --> 00:04:06,579 creates a disciplined army of 74 00:04:04,150 --> 00:04:08,319 professional soldiers 75 00:04:06,580 --> 00:04:10,120 you might have had a quote amateur in 76 00:04:08,319 --> 00:04:12,400 charge of this thing but there were 10 77 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:14,950 legions of professional soldiers that's 78 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:17,290 that's one point which counts for 79 00:04:14,949 --> 00:04:19,389 Caesars success the other point I think 80 00:04:17,290 --> 00:04:20,530 is that you can always be a great 81 00:04:19,389 --> 00:04:23,169 general if you're not fighting against 82 00:04:20,529 --> 00:04:26,259 anyone and in the case of the armies of 83 00:04:23,170 --> 00:04:30,040 Gaul they really weren't significant or 84 00:04:26,259 --> 00:04:32,529 maizes Gaul is not a unified nation with 85 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:34,569 a national army it's a conglomeration of 86 00:04:32,529 --> 00:04:37,719 individual tribal armies who lack 87 00:04:34,569 --> 00:04:39,040 discipline and cohesion the fundamental 88 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:41,350 problem with Gaul is that I was 89 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:43,660 essentially an area of 15 to 20 million 90 00:04:41,350 --> 00:04:46,180 people lots of different ethnic groups 91 00:04:43,660 --> 00:04:48,600 they fought one another for generations 92 00:04:46,180 --> 00:04:54,910 and they never developed a sophisticated 93 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:56,590 military capabilities still conquering 94 00:04:54,910 --> 00:04:58,630 Gaul is more difficult than Caesar 95 00:04:56,589 --> 00:05:01,599 anticipates 96 00:04:58,629 --> 00:05:03,909 it couldn't just defeat one army win a 97 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:05,860 battle and Gaul was yours 98 00:05:03,910 --> 00:05:07,920 you had to defeat hundreds of little 99 00:05:05,860 --> 00:05:11,020 armies 100 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:14,100 Cesar faces each new garlic army with 101 00:05:11,019 --> 00:05:14,099 growing ruthlessness 102 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:21,699 CAES we carried out some horrendous 103 00:05:17,918 --> 00:05:24,250 slaughters as a typical Roman brutality 104 00:05:21,699 --> 00:05:28,019 of making the case that you know you see 105 00:05:24,250 --> 00:05:28,019 the Roman friendship or Roman terror 106 00:05:31,100 --> 00:05:37,520 Ceaser's really was a reign of terror 107 00:05:34,449 --> 00:05:39,800 he destroyed entire villages killed 108 00:05:37,519 --> 00:05:41,919 everyone in them and then he went on to 109 00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:44,449 the next one absolutely brutal and 110 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:46,759 inevitably over a period of six years 111 00:05:44,449 --> 00:05:49,639 what happened was basically Romans 112 00:05:46,759 --> 00:05:53,480 control end goal was pretty much 113 00:05:49,639 --> 00:05:56,719 established but underneath it all was a 114 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:59,480 simmering spirit of hatred for the 115 00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:04,910 Romans and spirit of revolt just looking 116 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:08,540 for a leader to spark it enter verson 117 00:06:04,910 --> 00:06:11,330 Jetix a charismatic Golic general like 118 00:06:08,540 --> 00:06:13,069 caesar he's also on a mission to finally 119 00:06:11,329 --> 00:06:16,659 unite the hundreds of tribes of his 120 00:06:13,069 --> 00:06:16,659 homeland against Caesar 121 00:06:23,019 --> 00:06:28,240 verson Jetix is a worthy adversary to 122 00:06:25,660 --> 00:06:31,290 Caesar as a younger man he trained with 123 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:34,000 and fought alongside the Roman legion 124 00:06:31,290 --> 00:06:36,069 Merson genrich's was actually a cavalry 125 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:38,980 man and Caesar's army early in the 126 00:06:36,069 --> 00:06:41,949 Gallic Wars so he knows how the Roman 127 00:06:38,980 --> 00:06:44,830 army worked he knows its strengths he 128 00:06:41,949 --> 00:06:47,699 knows its weaknesses he is the right guy 129 00:06:44,829 --> 00:06:50,889 at the right time to take on Caesar 130 00:06:47,699 --> 00:06:52,449 verson Jett uruk's took it into his head 131 00:06:50,889 --> 00:06:54,759 that perhaps this was the right time 132 00:06:52,449 --> 00:06:57,250 that the goal that probably finally had 133 00:06:54,759 --> 00:06:59,560 it not this tribe or that tribe but 134 00:06:57,250 --> 00:07:02,500 everyone and that if he could provoke a 135 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:04,870 spark when an attack on the Romans that 136 00:07:02,500 --> 00:07:08,230 was successful what might happen is for 137 00:07:04,870 --> 00:07:11,439 the first time all of the main tribes of 138 00:07:08,230 --> 00:07:13,810 Gaul would assemble together and and 139 00:07:11,439 --> 00:07:15,759 resist Roman rule defeat Caesar and 140 00:07:13,810 --> 00:07:17,540 drive the Romans out and that's what he 141 00:07:15,759 --> 00:07:20,800 had in mind 142 00:07:17,540 --> 00:07:23,480 his plan to provoke Caesar succeeds 143 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:25,460 vercingetorix marches more than 70,000 144 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:28,189 soldiers into the Roman town of Orleans 145 00:07:25,459 --> 00:07:31,699 and gives Caesar a taste of his own 146 00:07:28,189 --> 00:07:34,550 medicine and he fell upon it like a lion 147 00:07:31,699 --> 00:07:38,479 upon a rabbit ah and burnt the town and 148 00:07:34,550 --> 00:07:39,020 massacred had murdered everybody the 149 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:41,540 Gauls 150 00:07:39,019 --> 00:07:44,019 slaughter more than 5000 men women and 151 00:07:41,540 --> 00:07:44,020 children 152 00:07:45,779 --> 00:07:48,939 vercingetorix delivers a clear message 153 00:07:47,829 --> 00:07:51,399 to Caesar 154 00:07:48,939 --> 00:07:56,019 the Gauls will no longer stand for the 155 00:07:51,399 --> 00:07:58,539 Roman generals brutality this was the 156 00:07:56,019 --> 00:08:00,939 spark of revolt there was some signal 157 00:07:58,540 --> 00:08:02,080 event that would galvanize all of Goyal 158 00:08:00,939 --> 00:08:03,670 against the Rome and that's what he 159 00:08:02,079 --> 00:08:09,039 tried to do is you know fairly good 160 00:08:03,670 --> 00:08:13,259 strategic thinker and it worked there 161 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:13,260 was no turning back for verson Jetix now 162 00:08:20,728 --> 00:08:27,680 the revolution has begun and he and 163 00:08:24,339 --> 00:08:31,719 Caesar are on a collision course 164 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:31,720 but verson generation has the momentum 165 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:48,269 he's scoring more victories he has a 166 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:51,860 massive army behind him and he's using 167 00:08:48,269 --> 00:08:54,659 it well suddenly this guy is unstoppable 168 00:08:51,860 --> 00:08:56,879 despite outnumbering the Romans verson 169 00:08:54,659 --> 00:08:59,458 Jetix knows that his large but fairly 170 00:08:56,879 --> 00:09:01,830 disorganized force will lose a direct 171 00:08:59,458 --> 00:09:05,458 all-out battle against caesar's highly 172 00:09:01,830 --> 00:09:07,860 trained professional army so his 173 00:09:05,458 --> 00:09:09,689 strategy is to strike it Caesars forces 174 00:09:07,860 --> 00:09:12,269 in small bursts of guerrilla style 175 00:09:09,690 --> 00:09:14,459 combat until he inflicts so much damage 176 00:09:12,269 --> 00:09:16,789 the Romans are forced to retreat to 177 00:09:14,458 --> 00:09:16,789 Italy 178 00:09:17,340 --> 00:09:21,550 where´s and jeddaks has a policy just to 179 00:09:19,659 --> 00:09:23,740 keep harassing the Romans keeping them 180 00:09:21,549 --> 00:09:27,009 away from food generally giving Caesar a 181 00:09:23,740 --> 00:09:29,230 headache to further keep the Roman 182 00:09:27,009 --> 00:09:30,669 troops off the balance verse and Jetix 183 00:09:29,230 --> 00:09:33,460 does something that will reverberate 184 00:09:30,669 --> 00:09:35,529 through all of the military history he 185 00:09:33,460 --> 00:09:39,070 convinces the Gauls to torch their own 186 00:09:35,529 --> 00:09:42,089 towns crops and countryside it's a 187 00:09:39,070 --> 00:09:45,250 strategy now known as scorched earth 188 00:09:42,090 --> 00:09:47,590 burn everything burn the towns burn them 189 00:09:45,250 --> 00:09:50,529 Hamlet's burn the fields everything in 190 00:09:47,590 --> 00:09:53,670 other words leave nothing upon which the 191 00:09:50,529 --> 00:09:57,220 Roman army can look and survive in 192 00:09:53,669 --> 00:09:58,620 August of 52 BC after implementing his 193 00:09:57,220 --> 00:10:00,790 scorched earth policy 194 00:09:58,620 --> 00:10:02,950 vercingetorix leads a small Gallic 195 00:10:00,789 --> 00:10:05,879 ambush force against the Romans near 196 00:10:02,950 --> 00:10:05,879 modern-day Dijon 197 00:10:06,759 --> 00:10:11,679 the Gauls favorite weapon is the 198 00:10:08,919 --> 00:10:13,750 broadsword made of iron these heavy 199 00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:19,419 blades are designed to smash down with 200 00:10:13,750 --> 00:10:22,389 brute force the Roman soldier wields a 201 00:10:19,419 --> 00:10:25,179 Gladius 26 inches long two and a half 202 00:10:22,389 --> 00:10:27,399 inches wide the Gladius is made of 203 00:10:25,179 --> 00:10:34,629 razor-sharp steel and is used as a 204 00:10:27,399 --> 00:10:37,299 stabbing weapon after fighting for 205 00:10:34,629 --> 00:10:40,028 several hours at Dijon verson jet uruk's 206 00:10:37,299 --> 00:10:43,059 in true hit-and-run style retreats and 207 00:10:40,028 --> 00:10:45,519 pulls his horse back the Gauls 208 00:10:43,059 --> 00:10:47,619 strategy appears to be successful from 209 00:10:45,519 --> 00:10:51,778 Dijon Caesar begins moving toward the 210 00:10:47,620 --> 00:10:54,549 Italian border verson jetter exchange 211 00:10:51,778 --> 00:10:58,799 for reaching Rome and replenishing his 212 00:10:54,549 --> 00:11:01,929 forces he moves his army down to block 213 00:10:58,799 --> 00:11:04,028 Caesars goal going to Italy okay 214 00:11:01,929 --> 00:11:06,698 it really arrives too late Caesar is 215 00:11:04,028 --> 00:11:09,698 already south of where he comes 216 00:11:06,698 --> 00:11:12,250 so he's behind Caesar he's not in front 217 00:11:09,698 --> 00:11:13,870 of him and he tries to go into the 218 00:11:12,250 --> 00:11:15,818 attack the Romans turn around there's a 219 00:11:13,870 --> 00:11:18,720 skirmish there there's a skirmish then 220 00:11:15,818 --> 00:11:21,458 the Romans break it off at that point 221 00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:23,560 when Christian Jetix does as he says 222 00:11:21,458 --> 00:11:25,689 getting tough to feed the army out here 223 00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:29,679 I'm going to redraw back into my main 224 00:11:25,690 --> 00:11:31,449 supply base alright and hopefully you 225 00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:33,370 know Caesar we're all we're done for the 226 00:11:31,448 --> 00:11:36,578 season Caesar will go south and we'll 227 00:11:33,370 --> 00:11:39,220 finish this next year this proves to be 228 00:11:36,578 --> 00:11:41,739 a colossal mistake calculating that 229 00:11:39,220 --> 00:11:43,720 Caesar will retreat to Rome verson jet 230 00:11:41,740 --> 00:11:46,480 uruk's begins to march his army back to 231 00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:49,360 its base at Alesia a fortified hilltop 232 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:52,700 city but Caesar isn't going home 233 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:55,490 he's going after verson Jetix 234 00:11:52,700 --> 00:11:58,000 and what seizure does is instead of 235 00:11:55,490 --> 00:12:00,889 running FanDuel he whirls around on him 236 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:05,750 kills its rearguard and begin to chase 237 00:12:00,889 --> 00:12:08,029 him back to Alessia as Caesar attacks 238 00:12:05,750 --> 00:12:09,679 the Gallic rearguard first and jet 239 00:12:08,029 --> 00:12:13,449 uruk's and the rest of the Gauls escape 240 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:13,449 to their small walled city of Alesia 241 00:12:14,899 --> 00:12:21,569 within days all of Caesars 50,000 242 00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:24,690 reinforcements surround the city I mean 243 00:12:21,570 --> 00:12:27,060 they just kept coming and coming a total 244 00:12:24,690 --> 00:12:28,020 of ten Roman legions suddenly surrounded 245 00:12:27,059 --> 00:12:30,329 for some generals 246 00:12:28,019 --> 00:12:32,600 he must have said to himself what the 247 00:12:30,330 --> 00:12:35,280 hell have I gotten myself into here 248 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:37,200 verse and jet uruk's had great success 249 00:12:35,279 --> 00:12:41,009 leading his guerrilla war against Caesar 250 00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:43,259 but now he's trapped and the small 251 00:12:41,009 --> 00:12:48,090 advantage the Gauls held has completely 252 00:12:43,259 --> 00:12:50,490 evaporated this is caesar's kind of 253 00:12:48,090 --> 00:12:53,100 battle and he's about to conduct one of 254 00:12:50,490 --> 00:12:56,419 the most fantastic siege operations the 255 00:12:53,100 --> 00:12:56,420 ancient world has ever seen 256 00:13:00,789 --> 00:13:08,000 52 BC the city of Alicia the Roman 257 00:13:05,839 --> 00:13:11,120 military commander Julius Caesar and 258 00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:14,000 more than 50,000 Roman soldiers have 259 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:16,159 trapped 70,000 Gauls and their 260 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:20,028 revolutionary leader verson Jett uruk's 261 00:13:16,159 --> 00:13:23,240 inside the city Alessi is so important 262 00:13:20,028 --> 00:13:24,080 because it's a big final Cataclysm it's 263 00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:27,649 a last shot 264 00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:29,709 militarily at stopping the Roman control 265 00:13:27,649 --> 00:13:32,629 of all of goal 266 00:13:29,708 --> 00:13:35,829 Alicia is the modern-day city of Elysee 267 00:13:32,629 --> 00:13:38,450 st. reign located in what is now France 268 00:13:35,830 --> 00:13:40,940 the city is about five miles in 269 00:13:38,450 --> 00:13:44,600 circumference likely surrounded by a 270 00:13:40,940 --> 00:13:47,140 small wall about six feet high home to 271 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:50,659 about 10,000 men women and children 272 00:13:47,139 --> 00:13:53,539 Alicia sits on a small hill some 1500 273 00:13:50,659 --> 00:13:56,838 feet above a valley through the valley 274 00:13:53,539 --> 00:14:00,969 run two small rivers a ring of hills 275 00:13:56,839 --> 00:14:03,340 surround the city it's well protected 276 00:14:00,970 --> 00:14:07,690 giving the Gauls a strong defensive 277 00:14:03,340 --> 00:14:11,200 position nonetheless Cesar decides to 278 00:14:07,690 --> 00:14:14,230 lay siege to Alesia a military campaign 279 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:17,740 unlike any other in history the siege 280 00:14:14,230 --> 00:14:23,350 works created by by Caesar are just 281 00:14:17,740 --> 00:14:25,149 ingenious and I can't find anyone or any 282 00:14:23,350 --> 00:14:27,070 source to say that the his siege 283 00:14:25,149 --> 00:14:31,090 techniques that he used there had been 284 00:14:27,070 --> 00:14:33,490 used before Caesar's army possesses the 285 00:14:31,090 --> 00:14:35,440 most sophisticated siege technology of 286 00:14:33,490 --> 00:14:38,139 the age they are equipped with a 287 00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:40,900 catapult called Annanagar known as the 288 00:14:38,139 --> 00:14:43,600 wild ass for its kick it's capable of 289 00:14:40,899 --> 00:14:49,139 launching a hundred pound projectile 400 290 00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:51,879 yards the Romans also use the ballista 291 00:14:49,139 --> 00:14:55,990 Latin for stone thrower the ballista 292 00:14:51,879 --> 00:14:58,120 fires LED shot nearly 100 yards each 293 00:14:55,990 --> 00:15:01,600 Roman legion is equipped with 30 of 294 00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:03,549 these but siege means more than just 295 00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:05,889 attacking with powerful high-tech 296 00:15:03,549 --> 00:15:08,169 weapons and Caesar knows that the right 297 00:15:05,889 --> 00:15:11,500 tactical move at Alesia isn't an all-out 298 00:15:08,169 --> 00:15:13,269 garage instead Cesar believes that to 299 00:15:11,500 --> 00:15:15,460 win this battle he shouldn't try to 300 00:15:13,269 --> 00:15:20,799 drive the Gauls out he should starve 301 00:15:15,460 --> 00:15:23,019 them in Cesar decides to build a 10-mile 302 00:15:20,799 --> 00:15:26,490 long wall around elesia to imprison the 303 00:15:23,019 --> 00:15:26,490 Gauls within their own City 304 00:15:27,289 --> 00:15:32,860 what verson Jetix thought would be a 305 00:15:29,299 --> 00:15:35,959 safe haven turns out to be a deathtrap 306 00:15:32,860 --> 00:15:39,519 first Caesars soldiers dig a trench 20 307 00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:39,519 feet deep and 20 feet wide 308 00:15:40,809 --> 00:15:46,009 next they dig another trench 15 feet 309 00:15:43,879 --> 00:15:51,460 wide 8 feet deep that can be flooded 310 00:15:46,009 --> 00:15:54,350 with water then another dry pit and 311 00:15:51,460 --> 00:15:55,150 finally work begins on a wall 12 feet 312 00:15:54,350 --> 00:16:00,100 high 313 00:15:55,149 --> 00:16:00,100 complete with watchtowers every 80 yards 314 00:16:00,669 --> 00:16:06,709 they call it circum fallacious we put up 315 00:16:04,070 --> 00:16:08,900 a wall around the city it's essentially 316 00:16:06,710 --> 00:16:11,690 putting tens of thousands of people in 317 00:16:08,899 --> 00:16:14,329 prison the purpose of that was of course 318 00:16:11,690 --> 00:16:16,550 to make sure that no one in the city 319 00:16:14,330 --> 00:16:18,800 could break out they could get outside 320 00:16:16,549 --> 00:16:20,539 their own walls but only to be trapped 321 00:16:18,799 --> 00:16:22,429 between a killing ground between the 322 00:16:20,539 --> 00:16:25,939 Roman wooden wall and their will that's 323 00:16:22,429 --> 00:16:27,799 the first thing this is not the first 324 00:16:25,940 --> 00:16:31,430 time Caesar has shown himself to be a 325 00:16:27,799 --> 00:16:35,059 master of Technology three years earlier 326 00:16:31,429 --> 00:16:36,829 in 55 BC four hundred thousand Germans 327 00:16:35,059 --> 00:16:38,599 were looking for a new homeland and 328 00:16:36,830 --> 00:16:40,840 crossed the Rhine River to settle in 329 00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:40,840 Gaul 330 00:16:41,159 --> 00:16:46,839 Caesar immediately delivered a brutal 331 00:16:43,990 --> 00:16:48,850 message he sent 50,000 of his troops to 332 00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:51,028 the Rhine River with orders to slaughter 333 00:16:48,850 --> 00:16:54,450 the Germans 334 00:16:51,028 --> 00:16:58,080 what he does next was both horrific 335 00:16:54,450 --> 00:16:58,080 technologically astounding 336 00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:03,350 Caeser foreshadowed his engineering 337 00:17:01,610 --> 00:17:07,338 prowess they will eventually show at 338 00:17:03,350 --> 00:17:09,680 Alessia he built a 400 foot long 40 foot 339 00:17:07,338 --> 00:17:11,869 wide suspension bridge over the rhine 340 00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:15,439 river so that he could chase them back 341 00:17:11,869 --> 00:17:17,779 to germany and hunt them down once 342 00:17:15,439 --> 00:17:22,160 across the river caesar brutally and 343 00:17:17,779 --> 00:17:25,459 mercilessly ravaged the countryside four 344 00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:29,720 hundred thirty thousand people men women 345 00:17:25,459 --> 00:17:32,240 children no survivors in a deliberately 346 00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:34,339 calculated act of political butchery 347 00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:37,180 designed to send a clear message to 348 00:17:34,339 --> 00:17:37,179 another people 349 00:17:37,710 --> 00:17:43,230 brutality aside Caesars spanning of the 350 00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:44,759 Rhine stands as a remarkable engineering 351 00:17:43,230 --> 00:17:48,289 achievement of the ancient world 352 00:17:44,759 --> 00:17:50,730 he built the entire bridge in ten days 353 00:17:48,289 --> 00:17:52,889 it was incredible I mean he built it was 354 00:17:50,730 --> 00:17:54,809 post and beams and cabling and the 355 00:17:52,890 --> 00:17:56,759 reason he built it was to say to the 356 00:17:54,809 --> 00:17:58,619 Germans look the Rhine isn't a barrier 357 00:17:56,759 --> 00:18:00,890 we could come and get you anytime we 358 00:17:58,619 --> 00:18:00,889 want 359 00:18:01,548 --> 00:18:06,179 after the butchery Cesar headed back to 360 00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:08,450 Gaul and immediately destroyed the 361 00:18:06,179 --> 00:18:08,450 bridge 362 00:18:10,259 --> 00:18:15,599 at Alicia Cesar uses the same Roman 363 00:18:13,259 --> 00:18:20,339 technological superiority to trap the 364 00:18:15,599 --> 00:18:22,439 Gauls inside the city the gawak general 365 00:18:20,339 --> 00:18:25,730 verson Jetix watches his Caesars wall 366 00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:25,730 rises up around him 367 00:18:26,519 --> 00:18:30,599 the 12-foot high wall is built partially 368 00:18:29,009 --> 00:18:32,369 from the earth dug out of the trenches 369 00:18:30,599 --> 00:18:35,009 the walls are topped with wooden 370 00:18:32,369 --> 00:18:37,859 ramparts and wooden towers rise every 80 371 00:18:35,009 --> 00:18:39,509 yards on top of all that they put 372 00:18:37,859 --> 00:18:41,308 sharpened sticks kind of like an early 373 00:18:39,509 --> 00:18:43,049 version of barbed wire just in case 374 00:18:41,308 --> 00:18:44,549 someone tries to scale the thing and 375 00:18:43,049 --> 00:18:46,440 except for a couple of areas like places 376 00:18:44,549 --> 00:18:49,859 of natural barriers this wall goes 377 00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:50,910 completely around the city it's a race 378 00:18:49,859 --> 00:18:53,579 against time 379 00:18:50,910 --> 00:18:56,100 once Caesar completes the wall nearly 380 00:18:53,579 --> 00:18:58,319 ten miles in circumference it will be 381 00:18:56,099 --> 00:19:01,109 impenetrable trapping the entire 382 00:18:58,319 --> 00:19:03,990 population of the city of Alesia some 383 00:19:01,109 --> 00:19:06,659 10,000 men women and children as well as 384 00:19:03,990 --> 00:19:09,349 the new tenants the 70,000 strong Golic 385 00:19:06,660 --> 00:19:09,350 fighting force 386 00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:14,160 Vercingetorix does have some beef from 387 00:19:11,429 --> 00:19:16,800 corn stored up at Alessia but it's not 388 00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:18,630 gonna last forever Caesars men could go 389 00:19:16,799 --> 00:19:20,879 and try to steal some or buy some 390 00:19:18,630 --> 00:19:21,360 supplies but that's easier said than 391 00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:23,610 done 392 00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:25,199 don't forget varus and Jetix had burnt a 393 00:19:23,609 --> 00:19:29,099 lot of it during the scorched earth 394 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:30,600 campaign verson jet uruk's knows that 395 00:19:29,099 --> 00:19:34,159 the winner of this battle will be the 396 00:19:30,599 --> 00:19:37,139 one who is able to stave off starvation 397 00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:39,120 so he decides his only hope is to try to 398 00:19:37,140 --> 00:19:42,810 stop construction of the wall and stop 399 00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:45,629 the Romans from gathering food if he can 400 00:19:42,809 --> 00:19:47,339 outlast Caesar in the city okay 401 00:19:45,630 --> 00:19:50,220 sooner or later the Roman army would 402 00:19:47,339 --> 00:19:53,189 find it very hard to gather supplies and 403 00:19:50,220 --> 00:19:55,500 it too would wither on the vine what he 404 00:19:53,190 --> 00:19:57,990 had to do is he had to keep attacking 405 00:19:55,500 --> 00:20:02,940 the Roman army to prevent it for 406 00:19:57,990 --> 00:20:06,140 foraging from supplies so verson Jetix 407 00:20:02,940 --> 00:20:08,940 resorts to his old tactics hit and run 408 00:20:06,140 --> 00:20:10,950 he sends several thousand of his cavalry 409 00:20:08,940 --> 00:20:13,420 to harass Caesars construction workers 410 00:20:10,950 --> 00:20:15,620 and foragers 411 00:20:13,420 --> 00:20:17,810 vercingetorix gets away with this a few 412 00:20:15,619 --> 00:20:18,469 times but finally during one of these 413 00:20:17,809 --> 00:20:21,710 attacks 414 00:20:18,470 --> 00:20:24,259 Cesar launches a counter-attack we're 415 00:20:21,710 --> 00:20:26,539 not exactly sure how many cavalry Caesar 416 00:20:24,259 --> 00:20:29,779 had but I would imagine about five or 417 00:20:26,539 --> 00:20:32,409 six thousand Roman cavalry and three to 418 00:20:29,779 --> 00:20:34,910 four thousand mercenary cavalry a 419 00:20:32,410 --> 00:20:39,769 skirmish breaks out between Caesars wall 420 00:20:34,910 --> 00:20:42,890 and Alicia the Roman cavalry gained the 421 00:20:39,769 --> 00:20:44,930 advantage and the Gauls retreat but 422 00:20:42,890 --> 00:20:47,120 verson jet uruk's orders alesia's gates 423 00:20:44,930 --> 00:20:51,500 closed to protect the Gauls already 424 00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:53,689 inside very very heavy Gallic losses 425 00:20:51,500 --> 00:20:55,579 guys off their horses trying to 426 00:20:53,690 --> 00:20:59,600 basically claw their way back into the 427 00:20:55,579 --> 00:21:02,980 city verse and jet Oryx has sentenced 428 00:20:59,599 --> 00:21:02,980 his men to death 429 00:21:05,759 --> 00:21:11,879 52 BC the siege of Alesia sees its first 430 00:21:09,569 --> 00:21:14,700 bloodshed a Calvary skirmish has a 431 00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:17,070 deadly end for the Gauls despite winning 432 00:21:14,700 --> 00:21:19,230 the schools Cesar decides to up the ante 433 00:21:17,069 --> 00:21:21,179 in terms of the siege works he orders 434 00:21:19,230 --> 00:21:23,339 more trenches to be dug anti-personnel 435 00:21:21,180 --> 00:21:26,610 devices to be installed and death traps 436 00:21:23,339 --> 00:21:28,589 to be built booby traps with huge 437 00:21:26,609 --> 00:21:30,119 sharpened wooden spikes called chippie 438 00:21:28,589 --> 00:21:32,509 are planted at the bottom of the 439 00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:32,509 trenches 440 00:21:32,609 --> 00:21:36,990 iron barbs called stimuli are spread out 441 00:21:35,308 --> 00:21:40,889 in front of the walls to puncture 442 00:21:36,990 --> 00:21:43,980 soldiers feet and horse hooves flooded 443 00:21:40,890 --> 00:21:46,710 moats were around were there trees 444 00:21:43,980 --> 00:21:49,200 knocked down to create obstacles and 445 00:21:46,710 --> 00:21:53,460 covering it all would be whatever field 446 00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:55,919 guns they had and and arrows archer fire 447 00:21:53,460 --> 00:21:59,308 sling of fire missiles they could 448 00:21:55,919 --> 00:22:03,240 literally she'd fire into his impact 449 00:21:59,308 --> 00:22:05,849 zone after only five weeks the 10 mile 450 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:08,429 walled equipped with pitfalls obstacles 451 00:22:05,849 --> 00:22:13,199 and anti-personnel devices is nearly 452 00:22:08,429 --> 00:22:15,860 complete the Golic general verson jet 453 00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:19,259 uruk's is forced to take a bold gamble 454 00:22:15,859 --> 00:22:22,648 he sends his entire 15,000 strong 455 00:22:19,259 --> 00:22:26,240 cavalry force to ride across gaul and 456 00:22:22,648 --> 00:22:29,428 recruit help from other gallop tribes 457 00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:33,210 well this seems to be a smart move think 458 00:22:29,429 --> 00:22:36,120 about this for a minute he has had 459 00:22:33,210 --> 00:22:39,210 pretty good success just snipping at 460 00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:42,648 Caesar harassing him not letting him get 461 00:22:39,210 --> 00:22:45,899 anywhere not allowing him to gather food 462 00:22:42,648 --> 00:22:49,109 but he's giving all of that up and he 463 00:22:45,898 --> 00:22:51,750 says no pun intended send in the cavalry 464 00:22:49,109 --> 00:22:54,449 verse and jetter exchanges his tactical 465 00:22:51,750 --> 00:22:57,538 design and allows the Romans in essence 466 00:22:54,450 --> 00:23:00,240 to build a siege works and feed their 467 00:22:57,538 --> 00:23:02,308 own the decision to go for help rather 468 00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:04,200 than continuing to try to disrupt the 469 00:23:02,308 --> 00:23:06,658 foragers and construction workers is a 470 00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:08,610 critical military decision if the 471 00:23:06,659 --> 00:23:10,830 cavalry is caught and the other tribes 472 00:23:08,609 --> 00:23:12,538 don't respond verson jet uruk's and his 473 00:23:10,829 --> 00:23:15,958 army are doomed 474 00:23:12,538 --> 00:23:18,749 now without his cavalry to send forth to 475 00:23:15,959 --> 00:23:20,759 harass the Roman army they can build the 476 00:23:18,749 --> 00:23:23,940 siege works at their leisure which they 477 00:23:20,759 --> 00:23:26,548 do more important than that is they now 478 00:23:23,940 --> 00:23:28,259 can forage freely and what Caesar 479 00:23:26,548 --> 00:23:30,690 understands is clearly what does he say 480 00:23:28,259 --> 00:23:34,048 he orders his commissariat to make sure 481 00:23:30,690 --> 00:23:36,328 you collect a 30-day supply agree still 482 00:23:34,048 --> 00:23:38,398 Caesar knows that if the Gallic cavalry 483 00:23:36,328 --> 00:23:41,338 does come back with reinforcements it 484 00:23:38,398 --> 00:23:43,828 can spell defeat for the Romans to 485 00:23:41,338 --> 00:23:46,229 defend against this Cesar decides to 486 00:23:43,828 --> 00:23:49,009 build another wall about 400 yards away 487 00:23:46,229 --> 00:23:49,009 from the first 488 00:23:50,599 --> 00:23:56,490 Cesar's first wall keeps verson jet 489 00:23:53,130 --> 00:23:59,100 uruk's in his second wall will keep the 490 00:23:56,490 --> 00:24:02,309 reinforcements armies out but it will 491 00:23:59,099 --> 00:24:05,029 also contain 50,000 Roman soldiers who 492 00:24:02,309 --> 00:24:08,190 must camp in between the two walls 493 00:24:05,029 --> 00:24:10,619 outside this wall of circumcision you 494 00:24:08,190 --> 00:24:14,400 construct a second wall called contra 495 00:24:10,619 --> 00:24:17,429 volition latin contra against and this 496 00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:20,070 wall ran 20 miles so you have a wall 497 00:24:17,430 --> 00:24:21,630 inside a wall in a city in the middle 498 00:24:20,069 --> 00:24:24,960 kind of like a looking at from the top 499 00:24:21,630 --> 00:24:27,090 down kind of looking at a layer cake now 500 00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:28,950 with no cavalry to Harris them the 501 00:24:27,089 --> 00:24:31,829 Romans have no difficulty building the 502 00:24:28,950 --> 00:24:33,630 second wall the wall was seamless except 503 00:24:31,829 --> 00:24:36,000 for a small section at the base of Mount 504 00:24:33,630 --> 00:24:39,060 inria near where two small rivers run 505 00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:40,799 through the valley the wall construction 506 00:24:39,059 --> 00:24:42,389 coming to an end everyone starts 507 00:24:40,799 --> 00:24:44,970 realizing that the thing that's going to 508 00:24:42,390 --> 00:24:46,590 win or lose this thing is food Caesar 509 00:24:44,970 --> 00:24:48,660 knows that once the rest of the Gauls 510 00:24:46,589 --> 00:24:51,209 show up it won't be able to send us guys 511 00:24:48,660 --> 00:24:53,279 foraging anymore meanwhile inside the 512 00:24:51,210 --> 00:24:56,420 city fierce Ingenix personally takes 513 00:24:53,279 --> 00:24:59,000 control of the beef and corn rations 514 00:24:56,420 --> 00:25:02,070 around seven weeks into the siege 515 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:04,079 supplies inside the city are low they 516 00:25:02,069 --> 00:25:07,079 are subsisting on whatever food had been 517 00:25:04,079 --> 00:25:09,839 stored before the siege water for close 518 00:25:07,079 --> 00:25:11,789 to 100,000 women children and garlic 519 00:25:09,839 --> 00:25:14,789 soldiers likely comes from the small 520 00:25:11,789 --> 00:25:18,659 rivers or wells there's a story about 521 00:25:14,789 --> 00:25:21,750 one of verson Jetix astraios saying to 522 00:25:18,660 --> 00:25:25,050 him let's just eat the dead soldiers and 523 00:25:21,750 --> 00:25:27,960 the citizens of the town we could live a 524 00:25:25,049 --> 00:25:29,639 long time like that this would have been 525 00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:30,660 the first example of cannibalism it 526 00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:32,130 won't be the last 527 00:25:30,660 --> 00:25:34,620 think of the Donner Party in our own 528 00:25:32,130 --> 00:25:37,320 history you know the old history books 529 00:25:34,619 --> 00:25:38,929 always call the Gauls barbarians but 530 00:25:37,319 --> 00:25:41,970 they obviously had some humanity 531 00:25:38,930 --> 00:25:44,250 Vercingetorix didn't allow this 532 00:25:41,970 --> 00:25:47,579 verse and jet uruk's knows there are too 533 00:25:44,250 --> 00:25:49,470 many hungry mouths to feed he devises a 534 00:25:47,579 --> 00:25:53,119 plan that he hopes will save the lives 535 00:25:49,470 --> 00:25:53,120 of some of the women and children 536 00:25:54,819 --> 00:26:02,108 what he did is he sent sent them off to 537 00:25:59,288 --> 00:26:03,940 the Roman wall essentially saying look 538 00:26:02,108 --> 00:26:07,648 let these people go there's no point to 539 00:26:03,940 --> 00:26:11,169 this or actually take them in his slaves 540 00:26:07,648 --> 00:26:13,148 Caesar rejects the offer his own men are 541 00:26:11,169 --> 00:26:15,399 on the brink of starvation because the 542 00:26:13,148 --> 00:26:17,468 land around Elisha has been left barren 543 00:26:15,398 --> 00:26:20,858 by verson Jetix is scorched Earth's 544 00:26:17,469 --> 00:26:22,929 strategy he has little sympathy for the 545 00:26:20,858 --> 00:26:26,128 desperate garlic women and children who 546 00:26:22,929 --> 00:26:26,129 must return to Elisha 547 00:26:27,980 --> 00:26:34,069 but verson jet uruk's doesn't want them 548 00:26:30,410 --> 00:26:35,540 back either having gotten rid of this 549 00:26:34,069 --> 00:26:37,519 live number of people that he no longer 550 00:26:35,539 --> 00:26:39,798 had to feed that verse and jeddaks 551 00:26:37,519 --> 00:26:41,808 himself refused to allow them back in 552 00:26:39,798 --> 00:26:43,220 the city walls so that the women and 553 00:26:41,808 --> 00:26:44,750 children live hundreds of women and 554 00:26:43,220 --> 00:26:46,970 children were trapped between the outer 555 00:26:44,750 --> 00:26:48,380 city wall in the inner Roman wall where 556 00:26:46,970 --> 00:26:52,850 they were allowed simply to die of 557 00:26:48,380 --> 00:26:55,000 starvation some 3,000 women and children 558 00:26:52,849 --> 00:26:57,558 are trapped inside the no-man's land 559 00:26:55,000 --> 00:27:02,058 pawns in the struggle of wills between 560 00:26:57,558 --> 00:27:03,918 verse and Jetix and Caesar all these 561 00:27:02,058 --> 00:27:06,079 pathetic soul is just languishing this 562 00:27:03,919 --> 00:27:07,490 kind of limbo they're literally caught 563 00:27:06,079 --> 00:27:10,720 in the middle of this fight 564 00:27:07,490 --> 00:27:10,720 no one wants them 565 00:27:12,569 --> 00:27:19,889 but in this horrible test of wills 566 00:27:14,759 --> 00:27:22,829 verson jet uruk's weakens first finally 567 00:27:19,890 --> 00:27:26,130 the gates to alicia open and the 568 00:27:22,829 --> 00:27:29,179 townspeople re-enter caesar wins the 569 00:27:26,130 --> 00:27:32,400 battle of wills now the garlic leader 570 00:27:29,180 --> 00:27:35,400 vercingetorix doesn't get to transform 571 00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:38,790 his headache into Caesars and Caesar 572 00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:42,509 gets to remind people of just what kind 573 00:27:38,789 --> 00:27:45,509 of man they're dealing with the outlook 574 00:27:42,509 --> 00:27:49,019 for the Gauls is bleak but then three 575 00:27:45,509 --> 00:27:53,809 days later on the horizon a Golic relief 576 00:27:49,019 --> 00:27:53,809 army some 60,000 strong appears 577 00:27:55,059 --> 00:28:00,450 they are led by cominis and old 578 00:27:57,369 --> 00:28:00,449 acquaintances of Caesars 579 00:28:02,289 --> 00:28:07,369 communists had been an ally the Caesar 580 00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:09,980 early on the Gallic wars Barisan Jetix 581 00:28:07,369 --> 00:28:13,159 had actually fought for Caesar also so 582 00:28:09,980 --> 00:28:15,490 it was a real betrayal for Caesar to 583 00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:18,170 have these guys coming against him 584 00:28:15,490 --> 00:28:21,609 communist wastes no time letting Caesar 585 00:28:18,170 --> 00:28:21,610 know he has arrived 586 00:28:22,599 --> 00:28:25,519 for the first time at the siege of 587 00:28:25,009 --> 00:28:28,210 Alesia 588 00:28:25,519 --> 00:28:31,400 Caesar looks like he might be in trouble 589 00:28:28,210 --> 00:28:35,319 60000 garlic soldiers led by a man named 590 00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:35,320 communism have come to the rescue 591 00:28:36,140 --> 00:28:41,210 they're here to help for some Jetix who 592 00:28:38,599 --> 00:28:45,099 is trapped inside the city with tens of 593 00:28:41,210 --> 00:28:45,100 thousands of civilians and soldiers 594 00:28:46,230 --> 00:28:50,720 communists immediately goes on the 595 00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:50,720 offensive 596 00:28:54,009 --> 00:29:00,359 he leads his infantry and attacks the 597 00:28:56,230 --> 00:29:00,360 Roman soldiers stationed on the outside 598 00:29:01,250 --> 00:29:05,039 Gulzar amazingly organized for a bunch 599 00:29:03,779 --> 00:29:07,529 of tribes that hadn't fought together 600 00:29:05,039 --> 00:29:09,059 until recently they had infantry mixed 601 00:29:07,529 --> 00:29:12,289 in with the cavalry and covered the 602 00:29:09,059 --> 00:29:12,289 whole thing with archers and slingers 603 00:29:15,349 --> 00:29:21,000 Caesar has no choice but to launch 5,000 604 00:29:18,690 --> 00:29:23,970 cavalry to defend the wall but they ride 605 00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:26,190 into a hail of arrows 606 00:29:23,970 --> 00:29:27,990 just when it seems the Roman defenses 607 00:29:26,190 --> 00:29:30,340 will collapse Caesar sends in 608 00:29:27,990 --> 00:29:32,329 reinforcements 609 00:29:30,339 --> 00:29:35,689 you 610 00:29:32,329 --> 00:29:39,349 his timing is perfect and the fresh 611 00:29:35,690 --> 00:29:40,850 troops push the Gauls back despite the 612 00:29:39,349 --> 00:29:43,309 incredible difference in numbers 613 00:29:40,849 --> 00:29:46,159 Caesar pushes the Gauls back all the way 614 00:29:43,309 --> 00:29:47,539 to the hills just massacring the archers 615 00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:50,720 who had been supporting the Gallic 616 00:29:47,539 --> 00:29:52,970 cavalry the fight rages from noon until 617 00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:56,350 sunset 618 00:29:52,970 --> 00:29:59,019 the Romy's emerge victorious 619 00:29:56,349 --> 00:30:01,929 the Gauls first assault ends in disgrace 620 00:29:59,019 --> 00:30:04,389 the bow was nearly theirs they had four 621 00:30:01,930 --> 00:30:07,350 times number soldiers and still cannot 622 00:30:04,390 --> 00:30:10,270 defeat Caesar this does not bode well 623 00:30:07,349 --> 00:30:12,939 but verson Jetix is not about to give up 624 00:30:10,269 --> 00:30:14,950 the fight somehow he manages to 625 00:30:12,940 --> 00:30:17,500 coordinate with communists to launch a 626 00:30:14,950 --> 00:30:20,259 nighttime multi-pronged attack against 627 00:30:17,500 --> 00:30:21,940 the Roman positions we don't know a lot 628 00:30:20,259 --> 00:30:23,349 about how much Communists and worsen 629 00:30:21,940 --> 00:30:25,480 genrich's could communicate with each 630 00:30:23,349 --> 00:30:27,819 other maybe they had spies who could 631 00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:31,740 sneak through but in battle I doubt they 632 00:30:27,819 --> 00:30:31,740 could communicate at all it's just chaos 633 00:30:37,509 --> 00:30:43,058 verson Jetix leads a force attempting to 634 00:30:40,089 --> 00:30:45,009 break through the inside wall cominis 635 00:30:43,058 --> 00:30:45,519 and his men attempt to scale the outside 636 00:30:45,009 --> 00:30:48,929 wall 637 00:30:45,519 --> 00:30:51,519 a third Golic force also on the outside 638 00:30:48,929 --> 00:30:54,519 tries to break through the outer wall on 639 00:30:51,519 --> 00:30:56,619 the far side of the city the Gauls are 640 00:30:54,519 --> 00:30:57,879 learning trying different tactics this 641 00:30:56,619 --> 00:30:59,798 time they've got the cover of darkness 642 00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:03,390 on their side and they've got ladders 643 00:30:59,798 --> 00:31:03,389 and wall hooks to scale the walls 644 00:31:05,009 --> 00:31:10,179 unfortunately for the Gauls Caesar still 645 00:31:07,630 --> 00:31:12,429 has the upper hand up in the siege tower 646 00:31:10,179 --> 00:31:15,340 he can easily see exactly what the Gauls 647 00:31:12,429 --> 00:31:17,798 are doing with the high ground 648 00:31:15,339 --> 00:31:19,528 Caesars men easily repelled the Gauls 649 00:31:17,798 --> 00:31:21,720 below 650 00:31:19,528 --> 00:31:24,298 they're launching arrows but also just 651 00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:26,159 this huge supply of stones and sharp 652 00:31:24,298 --> 00:31:27,628 sticks nothing sophisticated but I 653 00:31:26,159 --> 00:31:29,460 wouldn't want someone standing 12 feet 654 00:31:27,628 --> 00:31:31,648 over me throwing stones at my head 655 00:31:29,460 --> 00:31:33,298 you're trying to fill in these ditches 656 00:31:31,648 --> 00:31:36,808 and moats and the whole time people are 657 00:31:33,298 --> 00:31:39,148 throwing deadly debris at you in between 658 00:31:36,808 --> 00:31:41,730 the walls verson Jetix is getting 659 00:31:39,148 --> 00:31:44,369 pummeled on the other side of the city 660 00:31:41,730 --> 00:31:47,429 caesar's siege works are doing their job 661 00:31:44,369 --> 00:31:49,829 the little presence that Caesar planted 662 00:31:47,429 --> 00:31:52,820 the anti-personnel devices are really 663 00:31:49,829 --> 00:31:52,819 paying off here 664 00:31:55,049 --> 00:31:59,308 these guys can't take a step without 665 00:31:57,089 --> 00:32:02,659 falling 10 feet onto a huge spike or 666 00:31:59,308 --> 00:32:02,660 getting a hook caught in their legs 667 00:32:02,769 --> 00:32:07,269 Ceaser's brilliantly planned siege of 668 00:32:05,140 --> 00:32:08,640 the city is proving too much for the 669 00:32:07,269 --> 00:32:11,200 Gauls 670 00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:13,509 calmness is being beaten on the outside 671 00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:15,970 first and Jetta Rex is being beaten on 672 00:32:13,509 --> 00:32:18,490 the inside the anti-personnel devices 673 00:32:15,970 --> 00:32:22,000 are killing Gauls right and left and 674 00:32:18,490 --> 00:32:24,490 they both have this constant rain of 675 00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:27,910 Roman throwing spears and arrows coming 676 00:32:24,490 --> 00:32:30,400 down on them by daybreak all the Gallic 677 00:32:27,910 --> 00:32:33,490 forces both inside and outside the walls 678 00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:36,700 are forced to retreat once again 679 00:32:33,490 --> 00:32:40,750 Caesar is successful it's got to be 680 00:32:36,700 --> 00:32:43,150 driving co- Andres and Jetix crazy they 681 00:32:40,750 --> 00:32:45,160 have three times the army yet they're 682 00:32:43,150 --> 00:32:47,259 spending most of their time filling up 683 00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:49,330 ditches and dying at the hands of the 684 00:32:47,259 --> 00:32:52,089 Romans Caesars like a master chess 685 00:32:49,329 --> 00:32:54,039 player by imprisoning Alessia then 686 00:32:52,089 --> 00:32:56,439 building the second wall to repel the 687 00:32:54,039 --> 00:32:59,170 Gauls from the outside he's neutralized 688 00:32:56,440 --> 00:33:04,210 numbers advantage to Gauls have absolute 689 00:32:59,170 --> 00:33:06,029 genius five more days pass starvation is 690 00:33:04,210 --> 00:33:08,350 taking its toll on the Gauls 691 00:33:06,029 --> 00:33:11,980 desperately the Gauls try to figure out 692 00:33:08,349 --> 00:33:14,769 how to stop the Romans they were already 693 00:33:11,980 --> 00:33:17,829 beaten back twice but they had to do 694 00:33:14,769 --> 00:33:21,700 something the people inside were beyond 695 00:33:17,829 --> 00:33:23,439 being out of food finally the Gauls 696 00:33:21,700 --> 00:33:25,529 discover the weak spot in the Roman 697 00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:28,360 outer wall near the foot of mount RIA 698 00:33:25,529 --> 00:33:31,149 because of the O's River Caesar couldn't 699 00:33:28,359 --> 00:33:34,019 completely connect his outer wall it's a 700 00:33:31,150 --> 00:33:35,640 gap communist hopes to exploit 701 00:33:34,019 --> 00:33:37,950 so what they do is they sneak under 702 00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:39,780 cover of night to that weak spot tucked 703 00:33:37,950 --> 00:33:42,990 between the two hills and they stay 704 00:33:39,779 --> 00:33:46,160 hidden in the woods at noon the next day 705 00:33:42,990 --> 00:33:46,160 they attack 706 00:33:47,349 --> 00:33:51,639 common is's men flood through the 707 00:33:49,420 --> 00:33:53,940 opening in the wall and ravage the Roman 708 00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:53,940 infantry 709 00:33:59,339 --> 00:34:05,500 had another part of the wall a second 710 00:34:02,410 --> 00:34:07,450 Dalek force attempts to break in the 711 00:34:05,500 --> 00:34:09,820 second Golic force begins to overwhelm 712 00:34:07,450 --> 00:34:14,320 the wall the Romans are simply running 713 00:34:09,820 --> 00:34:16,720 out of stuff to throw at them at the 714 00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:19,200 same time Vercingetorix attacks from the 715 00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:19,199 inside 716 00:34:32,260 --> 00:34:38,400 Cesar watches this three-pronged garlic 717 00:34:35,179 --> 00:34:40,410 attack from his siege tower 718 00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:43,410 historians like to debate whether Caesar 719 00:34:40,409 --> 00:34:45,659 was really such a great tactician what 720 00:34:43,409 --> 00:34:49,259 he did at that final battle it was like 721 00:34:45,659 --> 00:34:51,629 conducting an orchestra Cesar decides to 722 00:34:49,260 --> 00:34:54,810 commit 3,600 reinforcements to his 723 00:34:51,630 --> 00:34:56,910 defenses at the gap in the wall he 724 00:34:54,809 --> 00:34:58,529 ordered reinforcements cavalry to come 725 00:34:56,909 --> 00:35:00,299 around from the northeast side to help 726 00:34:58,530 --> 00:35:03,210 protect the weak spot but at the same 727 00:35:00,300 --> 00:35:04,700 time the Gulf sent another 20,000 troops 728 00:35:03,210 --> 00:35:07,530 into the gap in the wall 729 00:35:04,699 --> 00:35:09,059 but you see 20,000 men isn't going to do 730 00:35:07,530 --> 00:35:11,010 your a lot of good when you're trying to 731 00:35:09,059 --> 00:35:13,110 funnel them through essentially a narrow 732 00:35:11,010 --> 00:35:14,760 gap between two rivers while you're 733 00:35:13,110 --> 00:35:16,680 being opposed on both sides by legion 734 00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:20,940 camps and in the front by a ditch in a 735 00:35:16,679 --> 00:35:23,190 wall Cesar watches as the Gaul switched 736 00:35:20,940 --> 00:35:26,730 tactics if they can't go through the 737 00:35:23,190 --> 00:35:28,710 wall they will tear it down by now 738 00:35:26,730 --> 00:35:30,929 they're at the wall and they're just 739 00:35:28,710 --> 00:35:34,139 tearing at these with these mural hooks 740 00:35:30,929 --> 00:35:36,139 they're iron hooks designed for tearing 741 00:35:34,139 --> 00:35:38,159 down the walls of a besieged town 742 00:35:36,139 --> 00:35:40,079 everything's kind of backwards because 743 00:35:38,159 --> 00:35:42,420 of Caesars walls usually it's the 744 00:35:40,079 --> 00:35:46,230 conquering force that's using mural 745 00:35:42,420 --> 00:35:48,980 hooks not the defenders the battle rages 746 00:35:46,230 --> 00:35:48,980 on all fronts 747 00:36:08,088 --> 00:36:14,308 Cesar finally takes matters into his own 748 00:36:10,889 --> 00:36:16,699 hands he personally leads 2400 more men 749 00:36:14,309 --> 00:36:16,700 into battle 750 00:36:21,010 --> 00:36:26,090 he takes command of four cohorts of 751 00:36:23,900 --> 00:36:28,970 intra tree himself puts on his famous 752 00:36:26,090 --> 00:36:30,740 red cloak he always thought it important 753 00:36:28,969 --> 00:36:33,139 that troop should see their commander in 754 00:36:30,739 --> 00:36:40,219 battle and leads these four cohorts 755 00:36:33,139 --> 00:36:42,619 right into the fray the Roman line was 756 00:36:40,219 --> 00:36:46,599 ready to break until Caesar arrived at 757 00:36:42,619 --> 00:36:46,599 the last minute with the reinforcements 758 00:36:51,949 --> 00:36:58,239 there is hacking at Gauls with his 759 00:36:54,259 --> 00:36:58,239 Gladius absolutely butchering 760 00:37:04,340 --> 00:37:10,559 there's a big difference between the 761 00:37:07,260 --> 00:37:13,609 commander saying charge and one saying 762 00:37:10,559 --> 00:37:13,608 follow me boys 763 00:37:20,969 --> 00:37:25,269 Pattin wore a red cloak just because of 764 00:37:24,730 --> 00:37:27,519 Caesar 765 00:37:25,269 --> 00:37:29,920 now that Caesars there the Roman legions 766 00:37:27,519 --> 00:37:31,269 put down all these pillow manned 767 00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:33,250 javelins and things that they were 768 00:37:31,269 --> 00:37:35,170 throwing from a distance and they pick 769 00:37:33,250 --> 00:37:43,358 up their swords and they just charged 770 00:37:35,170 --> 00:37:46,800 the Gauls Caesar has the momentum and 771 00:37:43,358 --> 00:37:46,799 he's going in for the kill 772 00:37:52,019 --> 00:37:56,940 more than two months into the siege of 773 00:37:54,210 --> 00:37:59,670 Alicia Julius Caesar wearing his famous 774 00:37:56,940 --> 00:38:02,360 red cloak leads his men into battle 775 00:37:59,670 --> 00:38:02,360 against the Gauls 776 00:38:08,639 --> 00:38:12,599 and the text say that what was happening 777 00:38:10,619 --> 00:38:14,849 is that the Roman line was ready to 778 00:38:12,599 --> 00:38:17,909 break until Caesar arrived at the last 779 00:38:14,849 --> 00:38:21,119 minute with his four cohorts with the 780 00:38:17,909 --> 00:38:22,619 reinforcements and at the same time you 781 00:38:21,119 --> 00:38:24,119 know increasing Roman morale because 782 00:38:22,619 --> 00:38:28,859 they saw that commander fighting with 783 00:38:24,119 --> 00:38:31,500 them with with the with the red cloak my 784 00:38:28,860 --> 00:38:34,110 evening Caesar has the momentum he 785 00:38:31,500 --> 00:38:36,800 chases the Gauls to their camp cuts them 786 00:38:34,110 --> 00:38:36,800 down like animals 787 00:38:54,170 --> 00:39:00,019 despite the impending defeat verson jet 788 00:38:57,210 --> 00:39:00,019 uruk's fights on 789 00:39:02,590 --> 00:39:06,670 his strategy of uniting the Garlic 790 00:39:04,869 --> 00:39:09,900 tribes to fight against Roman oppression 791 00:39:06,670 --> 00:39:09,900 has failed 792 00:39:11,269 --> 00:39:16,179 verson Jedrek soon realizes he has lost 793 00:39:20,349 --> 00:39:25,659 the defeat sends the message of kind of 794 00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:28,450 despair to the other tribes in the 795 00:39:25,659 --> 00:39:30,279 coalition and after a day or two one by 796 00:39:28,449 --> 00:39:31,989 one as they had done so many times in 797 00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:36,010 the past they've been wander back to 798 00:39:31,989 --> 00:39:39,479 their own tribal lands and even verson 799 00:39:36,010 --> 00:39:42,550 Jetix understands that the game is over 800 00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:46,269 and he's the one who takes the 801 00:39:42,550 --> 00:39:50,560 initiative and opens negotiations with 802 00:39:46,269 --> 00:39:54,989 the Romans Caesar had made a name for 803 00:39:50,559 --> 00:39:57,549 himself by wiping out entire tribes but 804 00:39:54,989 --> 00:40:00,989 uncharacteristically after this battle 805 00:39:57,550 --> 00:40:04,780 he decides to spare the Golic warriors 806 00:40:00,989 --> 00:40:07,149 Caesar was pretty lenient way out of 807 00:40:04,780 --> 00:40:10,660 character for the guy who is famous for 808 00:40:07,150 --> 00:40:13,000 annihilating whole tribes maybe he 809 00:40:10,659 --> 00:40:16,480 sensed that in order to keep insurgents 810 00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:19,300 down he had to change tactics maybe he 811 00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:22,240 even acquired a newfound respect for the 812 00:40:19,300 --> 00:40:24,910 way they had performed in battle but of 813 00:40:22,239 --> 00:40:30,329 course for some Jett uruk's had started 814 00:40:24,909 --> 00:40:30,329 this he had to be made an example 815 00:40:33,340 --> 00:40:39,970 October 2nd 52 BC after almost two 816 00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:43,690 months of bloodshed verson jet uruk's 817 00:40:39,969 --> 00:40:46,839 finally surrenders first and jet uruk's 818 00:40:43,690 --> 00:40:49,510 puts his best armor on and marches 819 00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:53,260 through the gate comes right up to 820 00:40:49,510 --> 00:40:56,890 Caesar and tens of thousands of Romans 821 00:40:53,260 --> 00:40:58,630 behind him you can imagine the scene 822 00:40:56,889 --> 00:41:00,609 here's this guy who had dared to 823 00:40:58,630 --> 00:41:03,329 challenge Caesar coming face to face 824 00:41:00,610 --> 00:41:03,329 with him 825 00:41:10,030 --> 00:41:20,580 a valiant warrior but one who has 826 00:41:16,389 --> 00:41:20,579 committed a basic tactical error 827 00:41:20,778 --> 00:41:26,789 he had a plan not to take Caesar head on 828 00:41:23,818 --> 00:41:29,818 but the skirmish cut his communication 829 00:41:26,789 --> 00:41:32,278 cut his supply lines just harass him at 830 00:41:29,818 --> 00:41:33,869 every turn he held on to that at times 831 00:41:32,278 --> 00:41:36,568 when he could have tried to go in for 832 00:41:33,869 --> 00:41:38,700 the kill but he stayed disciplined then 833 00:41:36,568 --> 00:41:40,528 he suddenly scrapped the whole idea he 834 00:41:38,699 --> 00:41:42,828 sends his best fighters to go get help 835 00:41:40,528 --> 00:41:44,519 help that didn't end up doing much good 836 00:41:42,829 --> 00:41:45,900 it's fascinating 837 00:41:44,519 --> 00:41:47,460 he had hung to the original strategy 838 00:41:45,900 --> 00:41:49,789 right to the point where it was 839 00:41:47,460 --> 00:41:52,079 succeeding and then for whatever reason 840 00:41:49,789 --> 00:41:56,789 changes the strategy and it cost him 841 00:41:52,079 --> 00:41:59,068 dearly while many of the Gauls are freed 842 00:41:56,789 --> 00:42:03,329 verson Jett uruk's is brought to Rome 843 00:41:59,068 --> 00:42:04,889 and executed and as the story goes for 844 00:42:03,329 --> 00:42:07,230 which there's probably not much evidence 845 00:42:04,889 --> 00:42:11,068 that when that and during one of Caesars 846 00:42:07,230 --> 00:42:12,929 triumphs he was he was strangled in put 847 00:42:11,068 --> 00:42:15,808 a full public view more likely he was 848 00:42:12,929 --> 00:42:17,519 simply executed in a Roman dungeon the 849 00:42:15,809 --> 00:42:19,740 Romans were not I mean they had no 850 00:42:17,519 --> 00:42:21,239 problems with public execution but in 851 00:42:19,739 --> 00:42:23,578 this case they were just well to be rid 852 00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:25,199 of what was called a firebrand of the 853 00:42:23,579 --> 00:42:27,860 Gauls the man who afraid that would 854 00:42:25,199 --> 00:42:30,349 light Gaul on fire 855 00:42:27,860 --> 00:42:33,200 Cesar spends the winter extinguishing 856 00:42:30,349 --> 00:42:35,089 the dying embers of the rebellion Rome 857 00:42:33,199 --> 00:42:38,029 will not have to fight the Gauls for 858 00:42:35,090 --> 00:42:40,190 another four hundred years one can 859 00:42:38,030 --> 00:42:42,769 compare Caesar to William Tecumseh 860 00:42:40,190 --> 00:42:46,909 Sherman of the march through Georgia 861 00:42:42,769 --> 00:42:48,980 Fame in 1867 he was given the job of 862 00:42:46,909 --> 00:42:52,159 breaking the resistance of the Indians 863 00:42:48,980 --> 00:42:56,300 in the West he used the exact same 864 00:42:52,159 --> 00:42:59,599 tactics scorched earth Massacre removal 865 00:42:56,300 --> 00:43:01,760 starvation against the Americans that 866 00:42:59,599 --> 00:43:05,690 Caesar had against the Garlic tribes and 867 00:43:01,760 --> 00:43:08,060 with the same results he won the 868 00:43:05,690 --> 00:43:15,980 Americans were settled on reservations 869 00:43:08,059 --> 00:43:18,259 and became America elesia was a great 870 00:43:15,980 --> 00:43:20,960 personal victory for Julius Caesar who 871 00:43:18,260 --> 00:43:23,090 at times was the besieged as well as the 872 00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:25,550 procedure but the outcome of this battle 873 00:43:23,090 --> 00:43:28,200 is more than just dramatic material for 874 00:43:25,550 --> 00:43:31,320 Caesars own writings 875 00:43:28,199 --> 00:43:32,939 Battle of Alessia in the long run was a 876 00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:34,800 benefit of the most beneficial things 877 00:43:32,940 --> 00:43:37,010 that happen to all of Europe because 878 00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:40,140 what it did is it allowed the thorough 879 00:43:37,010 --> 00:43:42,150 romanization of an enormous area from 880 00:43:40,139 --> 00:43:44,400 the Rhine all the way to the Pyrenees 881 00:43:42,150 --> 00:43:47,820 what today we would call Western Europe 882 00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:50,039 was was civilized and organized as a 883 00:43:47,820 --> 00:43:52,980 province of Rome and then became under 884 00:43:50,039 --> 00:43:55,380 the Empire essentially raw Italy in Rome 885 00:43:52,980 --> 00:43:56,849 itself it got to a point where the Gauls 886 00:43:55,380 --> 00:44:03,510 never thought of themselves as anything 887 00:43:56,849 --> 00:44:05,690 except Romans some say that Caesar's 888 00:44:03,510 --> 00:44:07,410 campaign was really a reign of terror 889 00:44:05,690 --> 00:44:09,690 but at Alesia 890 00:44:07,409 --> 00:44:11,969 he used brilliant tactics to defeat a 891 00:44:09,690 --> 00:44:15,119 large Golic army that attacked from two 892 00:44:11,969 --> 00:44:17,759 directions the result was that Caesar 893 00:44:15,119 --> 00:44:19,469 not only destroyed the Gauls he United 894 00:44:17,760 --> 00:44:23,340 the land that would become a significant 895 00:44:19,469 --> 00:44:27,089 part of Western Europe and it all was 896 00:44:23,340 --> 00:44:30,090 made possible Eltham Utley by the 897 00:44:27,090 --> 00:44:33,240 brilliance of a Julius Caesar and the 898 00:44:30,090 --> 00:44:36,050 defeat of verson Jetix at the Battle and 899 00:44:33,239 --> 00:44:36,049 siege of alessio 98729
