Chapter 771: Attack on Nexus City

To this question, General Matvey, who was standing on the side, gave a very positive answer, "Master Wu, if I say something else, I may not understand, but Dian Wei was really drunk that day, you don't know, at the beginning I was indeed drinking with him, but in the later stage, he was indeed pouring himself wine, and I couldn't stop it." I don't know how much I drank, but I'm afraid I'm going to get drunk even if I drink it. And he was drinking and talking about injustice, saying that he used to be the chief of the guard of the emperor of the Celestial Empire, but in the later period, he was demoted to a legion commander because he was not reused. He also said that even now this position may not be permanent, the emperor of the Celestial Empire is just worried that people will say that he has no feelings, so he gave him this position, I believe that it will not be long before he will be belittled. ”

When he said this, Matvey was still shaking his head, obviously after these days of contact, he was very optimistic about Dian Wei, thinking that such a person was a big hero, and he couldn't understand why such a hero The Emperor of the Celestial Dynasty would still look down on him.

After saying this, Matvey was still holding on to Dian Wei's grievances, but Utkin's eyes on the side were indeed shining, as if he had found some treasure, and he looked excited and excited.

Before going to the Celestial Empire to ask for assistance, the national teacher Philadimir had talked to him, asking people to ask for the Celestial Empire's assistance, and at the same time, asking him to do two other things. The first is to screen whether the Celestial Empire army is sincere in helping them, and the second is to persuade the Celestial Empire generals to be used by them if they have the conditions.

For these two items, Utkin didn't take the second point seriously from the beginning, perhaps he thought in his heart that it was impossible to convince the Celestial Empire General to use it for himself. If you don't get it right, it will cause the unhappiness of the Celestial Empire, which is equivalent to lifting a stone and shooting yourself in the foot.

But now, after listening to General Matvey's words, he did not think so, and he suddenly saw a glimmer of hope, that is, maybe he had a chance to convince Dian Wei to use it for himself.

I have to say that Dian Wei is still a little infectious, just through contact, he gave Utkin and Matvey a sense of heroism, and now there is a chance to persuade a Celestial Empire legion to use it for his own use, if Utkin does not seize such an opportunity, he should not be so favored by the national teacher Feradimir.

"Okay, I have written down what the general just said, I will arrange someone to investigate the situation of Dian Wei, during this period, you need to get closer to him, and you will keep an eye on him in the battle tomorrow to see if he is really fighting with the eldest prince, as long as this is determined, this person may be of our use." Utkin said as he prepared to investigate Dian Wei.

"Don't worry, sir." Hearing that he might be able to join his camp, Matvey was only infinitely happy at this meeting. Because this matter has been completed, the credit he has made in it must not be too small, and at that time, the matter of his drunken Yu Dian Wei and the delay of the military aircraft may be offset by this. In the future, once Dian Wei becomes the trusted general of the second prince, there will undoubtedly be a lot of benefits with the relationship they knew first.

At this moment, even Li Ru couldn't have imagined that the words he taught Dian Wei at the beginning would really play such a big role now.

The night passed, and the whole barracks began to be busy the next morning. Among them, the army of the six legions was ready to go, and the soldiers put on black armor and picked up sharp weapons.

After breakfast, the Sixth Legion, under the leadership of Commander Dian Wei, walked out of the barracks and began to march towards the city of Nexus.

General Yuri in the city had been prepared for a long time, and he expected that someone would come to attack the city early this morning, so after eating early, he went up to the city tower and began to urge the Rus soldiers in the city to prepare for battle.

Both sides are prepared, and a big war is poised to start.

Under the city, the black iron army approached step by step, and when it was five hundred steps below the city, the front army stopped moving forward. Then catapults began to rise in place. Compared to the situation of not being able to get close to the city, such a ranged weapon is the most practical.

The catapult was quickly built, and General Yuri in the city could only watch from afar, knowing that with the little soldiers and horses in his hands, if he forced himself out, he would be seeking death.

The Sixth Legion was preparing in an orderly manner, and when everything was ready, the army began to form a formation, with archers in front, shieldbearers in the back, and swordsmen, pikemen, halberders, and so on.

Looking at the short period of time, the Sixth Army Corps had prepared an attack formation, the speed was not fast, and the progress was orderly, and at first glance, it was a good training, and the expressions on the faces of Utkin and Matvey, who were watching the battle from the sidelines, were both happy and worried.

Rejoicing because the allies of the Celestial Empire army are strong, worrying is also because of their strength.

Such a strong army is naturally good as an ally, but once it turns its face and becomes an enemy, its combat effectiveness is also amazing.

"General, how does such an army compare to our army?" Utkin didn't know much about military affairs, but he looked at Dian Wei's command, so he asked General Matwei on the side.

"My lord, if our army is training, it can do this." Matvey's words are not too direct, but they also show that they are still inferior to the Sixth Legion.

The Rus' Empire was a great power, and twenty years ago, the army was extremely powerful. However, as the powerful emperor of Yaxiongfu got older and his fighting spirit became smaller and smaller, the country had not fought against the outside world for a long time. The most recent one was the battle with the Celestial Empire.

If an army has not received the salute of battle for a long time, it is conceivable that the combat strength of the army will definitely decline. Compared with the Six Legions, which have been fighting everywhere, the natural gap has appeared, and it has even become obvious.

Utkin was not speaking, he already knew the result. Now he can only hope that the Celestial Empire and the second prince are sincerely aligned, and it is a big deal to wait for the day of victory to give them some more benefits. In short, it is necessary to be as hostile to such an army as possible.

While Utkin was still thinking about his attitude and strategy towards the Celestial Empire army, Dian Wei had already waved the iron halberd in his hand, and the Six Legions began to attack the city.

Hundreds of catapults attacked at the same time, and one by one the boulders flew sideways to the distant city wall, like meteorites flowing in space, one after another, and the scene seemed to be spectacular.

Hundreds of boulders were thrown at the same time, and some of them landed on the walls of Nexus accurately, inflicting a lot of damage on the defenders of the city, and blood began to flow down the walls.

"Archers cover, the army begins to attack the city!" Seeing that the catapults had worked and were beginning to cause chaos on top of the tower, Dian Wei seized the moment and began to order the siege of the city.

With an order, two echelons of archers, totaling 10,000 people, moved forward with longbows in their hands and shot arrows at the top of the tower, suppressing the Rus soldiers as much as possible and not daring to show their heads. Some of the shield soldiers were in groups of ten, grabbing the tall ladders and began to charge.

War is cruel, and it will be successful for eternity, which is not just about talking, if you can be immersive, you can be shocked to feel that life is worthless at this moment.

Once the war begins, it is a life-and-death battle, bows and arrows fly in all directions, boulders overflow, sleepers fall from the air, fire oil is splashed in the air, shouts of killing are chaotic, wails are fought one after another, and the bloody breath is only a short time before it spreads throughout the battlefield.

At this moment, whether it is a siege or a defender, you need to pay the price of blood, the price of life...

At this moment, in everyone's eyes, except for the enemy is the enemy, and in addition to killing is killing...

At this moment, wielding the weapon in his hand seems to have become a habit, and it seems to be an instinct to cut when he sees the enemy, because only in this way can he have a chance to live, otherwise, he will die on the battlefield and end the best life...

At this moment, when the black clothes and the green clothes collide together, it often ends quickly, and in the end only one person can stand, and even sometimes, both of them will fall, and no one will be able to stand...

There were five thousand people in one echelon, and when most of the day passed, and no one in the two echelons returned, Dian Wei's face became ugly.

When it comes to attacking a city, it is not uncommon to lose 10,000 people or even more in a battle, and there have been times when the battles of the Six Legions have experienced more tragedy. It's just that Utkin and Matvey are still staring at him in the distance, and he has to show his grief and indignation.

"Come on, take out the explosives, I want to see what their walls are made of, and whether they will collapse if they blow up." Dian Wei seemed to be very angry, shouting loudly, this voice does not need to be listened to carefully, it can be clearly transmitted to the ears.

The explosives were finally about to be used, which made Utkin and the others show a hint of excitement on their faces, and they were eager to see if the legendary explosives were really that powerful.

The explosives had already been prepared, just waiting for Dian Wei's orders. When the time came, it was natural that some shield soldiers would clinch the explosives under their arms and rush towards the city of Nexus under the protection of the soldiers.

After these battles, the use of explosives in each army has long had its own experience, and it has also been specially trained for this purpose. For example, the people responsible for detonating explosives are all selected, and they are all extremely fast to ensure that they can complete the task well.

I saw a group of people protecting an explosives bag, and then rushed forward, the shield hand blocked the attack of the bow and arrow and the boulder and sleeper on the city, and quickly came to the city, set up the light and retreated, all the movements were extremely fast.
