A wine banquet, the guests and hosts dispersed happily. By the early morning of the next day, the quartermaster of the Rus' State had already sent all the expenses of the war to the barracks, and Li Ru was responsible for leading people to receive them.

The 6th Army Corps had 500,000 men, and General Matvey also brought 200,000 men, a total of 700,000 troops. The news soon spread to the city of Nexus three hundred miles away, where Yuri, the general in charge of defending the city, hurriedly reported the matter to the city after hearing the news, and at the same time stepped up the reinforcement of the city defense.

Although this time General Yuri could use 300,000 troops to defend the city, it is said that as long as he did not go out of the city to fight, but only defended the city, it should be enough, but before that, the Rus Kingdom had a war with the Celestial Empire, and in the end it ended in the defeat of Rus', among which one of the five tiger generals, Lev and Alexander, ended in defeat respectively, and the former withdrew directly from the power circle.

Of the five tiger generals, two were lost in front of the Celestial Empire army, which made Yuri have to pay attention to it. While arranging for soldiers to strengthen the city walls, he kept asking for reinforcements from the Grand Prince Anatoly.

Anatoly was originally borrowing the Kazakh and Ukrainian armies to put pressure on his second brother Ivan, and it was going well. Suddenly, he received a report from General Yuri, he did not dare to be careless, and after consulting with the auxiliary ministers around him, he quickly arranged for General Peter, one of his generals, to bring a million Rus soldiers to the direction of Nexus City for reinforcements.

As soon as the reinforcements were dispatched, it was one million, which was enough to prove that Anatoly did not underestimate the Celestial Empire, but attached great importance to it.

sent millions of troops, which made the strength of Anatoly in the city of Great Russ unable to completely suppress the second prince Ivan, and the advantage became much smaller. As soon as this incident came out, the second prince Ivan and the national teacher Fera Dimir were naturally very happy, and they saw the value of the Celestial Empire's army at this moment.

After saying that Dian Wei promised that Utkin would send troops to Nexus City, he naturally did not hesitate and rushed forward with the Sixth Army all the way. But on the night of the expedition, he returned drunk in a drinking fight with the Rus' general Matvey, and thus delayed the next day's journey of the army.

Dian Wei couldn't afford to get drunk, which naturally made the second prince's envoy Utkin, who hurriedly came to urge Li Ru's military division to ask if he could arrange someone to carry General Dian Wei to Nexus City.

In this regard, Li Ru naturally refused with one bite. He said, as a dignified commander of the Celestial Empire, how could he appear in front of the soldiers in a drunken situation? This is undoubtedly a blow to the morale of the military, and this is absolutely impossible to do. The army could not move unless it waited for General Dian Wei to wake up. Of course, all this losses must be attributed to General Matvey, who made him pour alcohol, otherwise there would not have been such a thing.

Matvey was very wronged in this matter, obviously Dian Wei wanted to drink hard, and he stopped it later, but he didn't stop it, but now the black cauldron wants him to carry it, and there is really no place to complain.

And all of this was naturally arranged by Li Ru.

This is done for two reasons. The first is to create an illusion that Dian Wei's alcohol consumption is not very large, which is tantamount to hiding his advantages, and maybe when he will be able to establish miraculous achievements.

Second, it is to give Zulenx City time to prepare to be attacked, otherwise, as soon as the Celestial Empire army arrives, it will capture the city, and it is not a good thing that the balance of victory in the war is too early and too tilted, if it is not done well, the second prince of Ivan will unload the mill and kill the donkey, with Li Ru here, of course such a thing cannot be allowed to happen.

The army stopped advancing for a day, and Utkin was naturally anxious, but there was really no way, just hoping that Commander Dian Wei could wake up early.

But the more anxious he was, the more people didn't wake up, and after three days, Dian Wei woke up with a hangover and a shameful expression. At this time, the city of Nexus was fully prepared, and the sleepers, rolling stones, and fire oil used to defend the city were all filled on top of the tower, waiting to come and attack the city.

In other words, when Dian Wei sobered up and led the army to Lienks, Yuri in the city was ready for everything.

There was a secret post left by Utkin in the city, and the news soon spread, and that night, he called Dian Wei, Li Ru, and Matvey to discuss the siege of the city tomorrow.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the army in the city has long been ready to be attacked, and we have wasted the best opportunity, now please tell us what to do next, right?" As Utkin said this, his eyes fell on the two generals, Dianwei and Matvey.

Naturally, Matvey lowered his head early, he already knew that he had poured wine into Dian Wei, so that the loss of the best siege of the army was reported by Utkin to the second prince Ivan. Presumably, this must be followed by a very severe reprimand, and it is not certain that he will be removed from his position as a general.

At this moment, all he has in his heart is endless regret. In fact, until now, he can't figure out why Dian Wei, who obviously looks very drinkable, suddenly has such a poor amount of alcohol? What the hell is going on?

General Matvey didn't dare to raise his head to answer, Dian Wei didn't have so many scruples, according to Li Ru's previous explanation, he only needed to show his reckless side. If he wants to learn to be a smart person, he has to think about it. But recklessness is just his true colors, and it's much easier. So as soon as Utkin's words fell, he stood up and said with a look of no one in his eyes: "What's so difficult about this, the siege of the city will be done early tomorrow morning, this time General Ben brought a certain amount of explosives, and I don't believe that a small Nexus city cannot be blown up." ”

When Dian Wei said these words, he was indeed arrogant, which made Utkin's eyes flash with disdain when he looked at him. He couldn't figure out how such a person could become a legion commander of the Celestial Empire with an army of 500,000. But I have to say that when the word explosives were spoken, it still gave him a lot of confidence.

The power of explosives, he had heard about it for a long time. It's something that can be indestructible, and if you have it, you must still have a chance to take Nexus City.

Thinking of this, Utkin hid the angry face just now, replaced it with a very happy look, and said: "Okay, General Dian has such courage, and he is really a model for us to learn, so if this is the case, tomorrow I will see the general's might." ”

"Well said, well said." Dian Wei didn't look polite, as if he had already been confident in tomorrow's siege.

The meeting ended early, and Dian Wei stood up bravely and bravely. Just waited for him to return to his tent, his face changed, and when he looked at Li Ru, he also asked with a flattering expression: "Strategist, how am I doing?" ”

"Well, that's a good job." Li Ru smiled and nodded with satisfaction.

"Huh." After receiving Li Ru's affirmation, Dian Wei's face also smiled. But when he thought of tomorrow's battle, he couldn't help asking: "Strategist, how do you behave in the siege battle tomorrow, do you want to attack the city with all your strength and take Nexus City?" ”

From the bottom of his heart, Dian Wei didn't pay much attention to what Utkin said about what had been prepared in the city. There are explosives to open the way, unless the other party has a moat like a plan to keep the explosives out of the city gate, otherwise, I really don't know what kind of city can block the power of a bomb.

Dian Wei has his own self-confidence, but what he doesn't know is whether he should do his best to attack the city tomorrow or how?

In this regard, Li Ru quickly gave a definite answer, "It's good to attack the city tomorrow with seven points of strength." ”

"Seven-point force?" For this answer, Dian Wei looked puzzled.

"Yes, it's seven points of strength, which means that we feel like we're brave, but in fact, it always takes a little bit of heat to take down the city. And I have already received the news that Anatoly, the prince of the Rus' country, has sent his subordinate Peter with a million reinforcements to the city of Nexus, at most only two days, the earliest cavalry reinforcements can arrive, and as long as we can not attack the city within two days, then as soon as the other party's reinforcements arrive, we really can't take it, at that time there will be enough reasons to ask for reinforcements, so that the emperor can enter Hapaolan with the army clearly. ”

Li Ru analyzed the battle situation from the perspective of a military advisor, and did not hide it from Dian Wei in the slightest.

"I see, I know." At this point, Dian Wei finally understood what he was going to do next.

And just as Li Ru and Dian Wei were talking in the tent, Utkin also called Matvey to his tent, and the two re-analyzed some of the things in front of them.

"General, do you think that Dian Wei's drunkenness is true?" Utkin had always been suspicious of the delay caused by Dian Wei's drinking, which caused the city of Nexus to be on increased vigilance. What he is worried about is not that the Celestial Empire army is afraid of war, but whether they will have any agreement with the Great Prince Anatoly, if so, then what they are doing now is tantamount to seeking skin with the tiger, and if they can't make a bad one, they will put their own lives here.

It was precisely because of this worry that the Celestial Empire was ready to send a large number of reinforcements, but it was still rejected by the cautious national teacher Phila Dimir, and he would never let them enter the country until he understood the true position of the Celestial Empire's army.

And Utkin took on the important task of identifying the intentions of the other party. He was originally observing the army of the Celestial Empire, but when he saw Dian Wei's drunkenness, he would inevitably have some doubts in his heart.
