Chapter 774 Retreat

Just when Matvey didn't know how long he could resist, behind them, that is, at the gap in the city wall, there was a sudden loud shout of killing, and then countless soldiers in black armor rushed from there.

As soon as he saw the black-armored soldiers, Matvey's eyes lit up, knowing that this was the Celestial Empire army coming to help, and immediately he felt a lot more angry, and when he shouted, his voice was much louder, "Brothers, our reinforcements are coming, kill them with me." ”

Matvey, who was supposed to retreat, had long since given up the idea of leaving. Now that the reinforcements have arrived, all that should be done now is to defeat Yuri with all the strength instead of fleeing.

Dian Wei led a large army into the city from five gaps, and saw corpses all over the ground. Among them, there are siege soldiers wearing grass green uniforms, and there are siege soldiers wearing light green uniforms, but if you look closely, the siege soldiers still die more.

Just from the analysis of the corpse, it is clear that it is Matvey who has suffered.

Looking at the corpses all over the place, even Dian Wei, who had been through a hundred battles, couldn't help but gasp, all this was completely Li Ru's idea, one idea was his own, and so many enemies were killed, and if he was to kill them, he didn't know how long he would have to kill, and this was not the part of his own loss.

Sighing in his heart the strength of the strategist, Dian Wei did not sit idle, and waved a pair of iron halberds in his hands up and down, but all the soldiers who guarded the city in front of him became the souls of the halberds.

Dian Wei was so brave that he gave the 50,000 troops behind him enough soldiers, and they followed the general to continue to rush and kill, and more and more Rus soldiers died in front of them.

In less than half an hour, Dian Wei led the army to join Matvey.

At this time, Matvey was extremely embarrassed, and the armor on his body was stained with blood, and he didn't know if he was injured or the enemy.

"General Dian, you're finally here, haha." Although he was very tired, after seeing the arrival of Dian Wei and his army, Matvey laughed heartily.

"General Ma is brave, Dian Wei admires!" No matter what kind of relationship everyone will have in the future, but Matvey has been killing with a large army for so long, and there is no frustration under the disadvantage, based on this, he deserves this sentence.

"General Dian, don't say that, I'm just leading the army to survive here. Now, now that General Dian is here, it's time to fight back. Seeing that the surrounding city defenders were getting fewer and fewer, Matvey also became heroic at this moment.

"Okay, now that General Ma says so, then we will rush and kill together." Dian Wei is naturally not afraid of war, and after saying that, he has not been on the battlefield for a long time, and he has not enjoyed it yet.

As soon as the two generals converged, the troops were quickly concentrated, and some soldiers who were originally trapped in other places also came over, so that the combined strength of the two sides reached more than 100,000.

The army began to move towards the city, and by this moment Yuri had already walked down from the castle tower, and when he saw the Celestial Empire army joining, he knew that the task of defending the city had become difficult. And just as he was about to shrink his forces to resist, scouts arrived and reported that reinforcements would enter the city in an hour.

Knowing that reinforcements were coming, General Yuri, who was leading the army to retreat because of the arrival of Dian Wei, also came to his senses. "Tell the army to prepare for a counterattack."

If there are no reinforcements, even if there is an opportunity to counterattack, Yuri will not grasp it, after all, the troops are insufficient, and the main force of the Celestial Empire army has not been dispatched, once it counterattacks, it is likely that it will fall into it and not be able to get out. But now it's different, once General Peter arrives, even if he brings a part of the advance army here, there will be a great reaction to the balance of forces between the two sides, if so, then don't take the initiative to counterattack, when will you wait?

Yuri's army, which was originally retreating, was not as flustered as before after receiving the order, although it was still retreating, it was indeed orderly, as if it was waiting for something.

I have long known that the reinforcements of the prince of the Rus Kingdom are coming, and this change in the enemy army has not escaped the eyes of Dian Wei, but Matvey is not good, he really doesn't know anything, he has been suppressed for several hours, and now he has the opportunity to fight back, he is very angry, and when he shoots, he naturally has the idea of revenge, and with his subordinate troops is rushing and killing, as if he wants to kill the enemy completely.

Dian Wei did not dissuade Matvey's move, he only secretly gave an order, that is, all the soldiers of the Sixth Legion should not charge too fiercely, everything must obey military orders, and at the same time, they must be ready to retreat at any time.

Dian Wei's order saved the soldiers of the Sixth Army in time, they listened to the orders of the army commander, and did not stretch the battle line too long, but only wiped out the enemy in front of them, and the enemy who was farther away did not take the initiative to pursue.

It was in this way that when Peter led his army to Nexus City an hour later and began to counterattack, the Celestial Empire army began to retreat as fast as possible.

The Sixth Legion didn't know how many reinforcements the enemy had, and Dian Wei didn't need to inquire, he just needed to take this opportunity to retreat, and then he could use this as an excuse to lead the emperor's army into the Rus realm, which was the main purpose.

Dian Wei did not fight and retreated, but he did not forget to take General Matvey with him when he left, this person is still a hot-blooded general, and it may be useful in the future, if he is allowed to die in this war, it will be equivalent to a loss for the Celestial Empire.

Matvey was taken away by Dian Wei, but his army did not have such good luck, because their battle line was too long, and even some soldiers had already reached into the city, facing Yuri's counterattack, even if they wanted to, they could not retreat.

Outside the city of Nexus, Utkin was urging Li Ru, the commander of the Sixth Legion, to send more soldiers into the city to help Dian Wei and Matvey, but they didn't think about it, so the two rushed out of the gap with a large army.

As soon as he got out of the city, without waiting for Utkin to ask something, Dian Wei pretended to be panicked and said, "Military division, withdraw quickly, enemy reinforcements are coming." ”

"Okay." Li Ru had already prepared, waiting for Dian Wei's words, and after agreeing, he ordered the army to start retreating, because he had been prepared for a long time, and it was very simple to retreat.

Utkin was also frightened when he heard that enemy reinforcements were coming, he had received the news in advance, but he didn't expect it to be so fast, and now it seems that it is impossible to capture Lenks City, if it is so, if he escapes slowly, his life may be in danger.

The army retreated, and retreated very decisively, waiting for the reinforcements General Peter and General Yuri to kill all the soldiers in the city belonging to the second prince Ivan, and outside the city, where can you still see the enemy soldiers.

"These people can run faster than rabbits." Seeing that an enemy could not be seen, General Yuri, who had been besieged for two days, said with an unhappy expression.

"Don't chase, wait for all our reinforcements to arrive, and I will lead the main force with the general to find trouble with Matvey, this time we will take Hai Paolan and cut off the connection between Ivan and the Celestial Empire." Peter said with a disdainful expression, this time he came with a million troops, not just to keep a city of Nexus, but to capture Hybalan from here, and to make a two-way deal with the forces of the second prince Ivan.

"Okay." Hearing that there was a chance to counterattack Matvey, Yuri's face finally showed a smile, as if he had seen the other party besieged like himself.

Dian Wei and the others returned to twenty miles outside the city. Everyone had just settled down, and the military advisor Li Ru suggested that the army retreat again and retreat to Haibaolan City.

"Why?" Utkin shouted with an opposing look, "We still have hundreds of thousands of troops now, with this, to build a defense line here, even if Peter comes with a million troops, we have a fight, why do we have to retreat?" I disagree. ”

Utkin patted his chest this time, and in the letter he reported to Prince Ivan, he also wrote that he would definitely take the city of Lenks and reach the situation of copying Prince Anatoly in two ways, but now, not to mention the city, he had to retreat and be on the defensive, so how could he report to the top, and how could he be willing.

As soon as Utkin's face turned red, Li Ru's voice came out, "Okay, even if Lord Wu doesn't agree to withdraw the army, then you can stay here, and we will go back." Commander, please give the order. ”

"Someone, herald..."Dian Wei naturally unconditionally cooperated with Li Ru's words.

"Wait a minute." Hearing that the Celestial Empire army was retreating, Utkin's face changed again. In the battle of Nexus City, their original 200,000 horses, now there are less than 50,000 left, pointing to these armies against the combined forces of Peter and Yuri, it is absolutely impossible to do it, to put it mildly, it is not enough to stuff people's teeth, so how can he still stay here?

"What? What else do you have to say? Do you want to meddle in the military affairs of our six legions? At this moment, Li Ru's face also turned cold.

Before, there was a need to have a legitimate name to send out the army, but now, they have come to the territory of Rus', and the most important thing is that the current Utkin army is extremely weak, if at this time, he is still as weak as before, then all the preparations will be done in vain, and he Li Ru cannot be favored by Zhang Chao and promoted to the position of the division of the Sixth Army Corps.
