After losing dozens of people, five piles of explosives were ignited and placed under the towers of Nexus, and then all eyes were focused on there, waiting for a miracle to happen.

Didn't make people wait for a long time, soon, the sound of the booming explosion kept coming, and then one after another huge waves rushed into the sky, and the powerful explosion power soon collided with the boulder under the city wall, and then the cracks began to appear, and then spread, one after another the crack was getting bigger and bigger, until it began to collapse under gravity, and finally the city tower sank, and one by one the gaps were exposed in sight.

"Boom, boom..."

There were five loud noises like thunder in the sky, and there was a tremor on the walls of the city of Nexus, which made some of the soldiers on the towers unsteady and fell to the ground.

After a while, when the dust and smoke had settled, five huge gaps of more than one zhang appeared in front of everyone, and from a distance, it seemed as if they had opened up a passage to the outside of the city and the inside of the city.

"Rush!" Taking this opportunity, Dian Wei gave an order, and then shouted to General Matvey, who was watching the battle: "General Ma, please help in the battle." ”

The space in front of the gate of Nexus City is limited, and it is impossible to fully deploy the Six Legions, and in order to better watch the battle, Utkin also occupied a large area with the Rus army in his hand, which makes it impossible for the Six Legions to exert enough attack power because of the limited number of soldiers in front of the city despite the gap in the city wall.

Even if Utkin and they occupied a certain area, of course, they needed to contribute to the siege of the city at this moment, so Dian Wei shouted and asked for assistance.

Completely confused by the power of the explosives, Matvey's mind had not yet returned to his place, and then he heard the shouts of Dian Wei, and then the people stood there as if they were stupid for a long time without moving, until Lord Utkin on the side said that he should help the Sixth Legion to capture the city of Nexus, and then he began to reorganize his army and prepare for battle.

It's just that the fighters on the battlefield are often fleeting, and some opportunities, if they are seized, they may be decided in a war, and if they are lost, they will not be able to chase them. As if it were now, the soldiers of the Sixth Legion had already prepared, and after the explosives exploded the gap, two echelons of 10,000 soldiers rushed up and began to enter the city from within each gap.

If the reinforcements could keep up, the siege would probably be over. After all, everyone has entered the city, and Yuri's advantage in defending the city will not exist, and the huge contrast in strength is destined to make it difficult for him to be able to defend the city.

Unfortunately, Matvey's reaction was too slow, and he did not give reinforcements in time, so that the soldiers of the Sixth Army who entered the city through the gap were weak, and as soon as they entered the city, they faced several times the enemy's attack.

Without the power of explosives, he lost nearly 5,000 soldiers and horses, which made Dian Wei, who commanded the battle, very angry. ”

After saying this, Dian Wei didn't wait for Matvey to defend anything, he turned around and went back with a snort, and then the soldiers of the Sixth Legion also began to withdraw their troops and stopped the siege.

Matvey stood still, dumbfounded. Didn't you say that it was the main attack of the Sixth Army today? But if you don't take the city, why did all the sins fall on your head? Is it impossible to say that you look like a bully?

Only Utkin stood there speechless for a long time, knowing that a good opportunity to siege the city had indeed been wasted by himself. If Matvey had reacted faster, or if they hadn't occupied such a large position in front of the city, and given the Sixth Legion enough space to place their troops, perhaps the battle would have been decided.

Knowing that this time it was because of his own reasons that he did not capture the city, Utkin naturally would not blame Dian Wei's withdrawal of troops. Instead, he took General Matvey to chase after Dian Wei, wanting to explain something.

Dian Wei remembered the words of the military advisor Li Ru, that is, the battle situation must be held for another day, and only in this way can he wait for the arrival of reinforcements from the Great Prince's Rus army, so he knew that someone was chasing behind him, but he still did not stop and returned to the camp.

Hearing a lot of shouts in succession, seeing that the Celestial Empire army was still retreating, Utkin was a little anxious, he hurriedly rode his horse to catch up, and finally stopped Dian Wei on the way to withdraw the army. "General Dian, you can't withdraw the army, this time we have to seize the opportunity and capture the city in one fell swoop."

Utkin also got the news that the Grand Prince Anatoly had sent reinforcements to help the city of Nexus, which means that there was not much time left for him to siege the city.

Utkin was very anxious, but the more this was the case, the more Dian Wei said unhurriedly: "Lord Wu, if you don't seize such a good opportunity just now, can you blame me?" ”

"Yes, it's all our fault. In this way, please also ask the general to go back and attack the city for a second time, this time I promise that our army will be responsible for the main attack, what do you think? After seeing the power of the explosives, Utkin was full of confidence in the capture of the city of Nexus, and he believed that if the explosives attacked again, he would be able to take the city and build a miracle.

Now go back and use explosives again, naturally there is a chance to capture the city. It is precisely because of this that Dian Wei knows that he can't attack the city now. He needed to give some time to the Ross army, the great prince who was defending the city. "No, now it's going to be dark, if you attack the city at this moment, the cost is too great, I don't think it's as good as tomorrow morning, at that time, you can capture Lianx's city and show the might of our army."

Hearing that the siege would not be possible early tomorrow morning, Utkin wanted to say if it was too late, but when he saw Dian Wei's determined expression, he hesitated to agree. He was worried that if he forcibly ordered the army of the Celestial Empire, they would not be able to do their work, and in that case, he would only lose his own army.

"Okay, everything is according to what the general said, let's attack the city early tomorrow morning, don't worry, this time we are willing to take the lead and capture the city." Utkin finally relented and made concessions. He also promised that the main forces of the siege would be replaced by them tomorrow.

In this regard, Dian Wei nodded with satisfaction, "That's the best, then I'll watch you show your power tomorrow." ”

After Dian Wei finished speaking, he continued to retreat towards the camp with the army, leaving Utkin standing in the original place, and General Matvi on the side looked at the fact that there were no Celestial Empire soldiers around, which couldn't help but ask in his heart: "My lord, it was clearly said that the Celestial Empire army would attack the city, why do we want to go up by ourselves?" ”

"Fool, don't you know that there must be something good in the city? Wouldn't it be who enters the city first and who will get the greatest benefit? After Utkin reprimanded Matvey, he snorted coldly and said: "Remember, go back at night and get ready, and when you attack the city again tomorrow, you must not be as slow as today, understand?" ”

"Yes." Matvey hurriedly agreed, and then said in a tone that seemed to be a sycophant: "What the adults said is yes, we can naturally grab more good things if we enter the city first, and the adults are still wise." ”

"Hahaha." Listening to this, Utkin seemed to be in a much better mood. Before, he wanted the Sixth Army to attack because he didn't want to see his army lose in the siege, but after seeing the power of explosives, he didn't think about it that way, even if the siege became simple, then of course he had to fight for it, this was a good time to make meritorious contributions, how could he miss it.

Utkin had his own plans, so he decided to take back the initiative in the siege, and what he didn't know was that all this was what Li Ru expected.

Dian Wei led the army back to the camp and saw Li Ru, the military advisor in the tent, and told everything that happened, "Military advisor, we lost 15,000 brothers in the siege today. ”

"They won't die in vain." Li Ru comforted Dian Wei loudly. Fortunately, through this battle, Utkin has already been tricked, and then it is time to ask for interest. In short, the brothers of the Six Legions cannot die in vain, they will definitely be valuable.

Li Ru had already guessed what the outcome would be tomorrow, and he seemed to have seen Utkin's heavy blows. Although everyone is an ally, it stands to reason that he should help, and at the last time, he should be reminded. But he wouldn't do that, because everyone knows how fragile this so-called alliance is, and once the overall situation is decided, everyone may turn from friends to enemies, even so, why not consume the other party's army?

Above the tower of Nexus, looking at the retreating enemy troops, General Yuri couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

What he is most worried about is that the other party takes advantage of the huge gap in the city wall to attack, if this is the case, they are obviously inferior to the other party, and they will naturally become uncomfortable, even if they can defend the city, they are afraid that they will have to pay a very heavy price.

Now that the enemy is withdrawing, this gives him a chance to breathe, and now all he has to do is to hurry up and repair the city walls, and refill the bombed land. Of course, he has to be prepared for a tough battle tomorrow.

The generals were called together to discuss countermeasures, and soon everyone came up with a way to blow up the city with explosives, that is, prepare enough oil to blow up the city, once they found a gap in the city wall, they would sprinkle the oil somewhere, and then use the burning fire to block the opponent's attack.

This method did not guarantee that the enemy army would be completely prevented from entering the city, but it still had some effect, as long as they could hold on a little longer, General Peter would arrive with a million reinforcements, and then the initiative on the battlefield would be in their hands.

Both sides were in full swing to prepare, and the night passed like this. At dawn the next morning, Utkin, who had not slept much all night, had already arranged for someone to make breakfast and send it to the army of the Sixth Army.
