In the face of the widespread rebellion, although the Roman Legion Commander was somewhat panicked, due to the previous experience (during the last major rebellion of the Gaul Tribe, the legion led by Cotta abandoned the camp and retreated, eventually being annihilated; while the legion led by Cicero's brother Quintus held onto the camp and was ultimately rescued by Caesar), he did not choose to retreat with his army back to the Western Fa Province but instead gathered his forces, fortified the camp, and waited for reinforcements.
The troops of various tribes in Northern Gaul surrounded the Roman Camp, but they lacked unified command and fought individually. Meanwhile, the Roman Camp had ample supplies and complete and strong defensive facilities. Several strong attacks by the Gaul Army failed to capture it, and instead, they suffered significant casualties in counterattacks by the Roman Soldiers.
When they were at a loss, Vercingetorix arrived with a large army.
