Cao Cao smiled slightly, nodded at Seth and said, "Please convey my greetings to Your Majesty!" ”

The interpreter immediately translated Cao Cao's words to Seth.

Seth smiled, saluted Cao Cao again, and muttered, this time Cao Cao probably understood, Cao Cao couldn't help but feel a little strange, his English level was okay, why couldn't he understand the other party's words!

In fact, Cao Cao didn't know that the popular language of the West at this time was not English in later generations.

Cao Cao and Seth exchanged views on the current war, although Seth seemed to be in a posture of fighting with the Jin people to the end, but Cao Cao could see that the other party actually had the intention of quitting the war, and it was no wonder that the Romans had paid a considerable price for this war.

In the end, the two sides reached an offensive and defensive alliance agreement, which was a matter of course.

After Seth left, Cao Cao asked Xi Zhicai, "Zhicai, what do you think?" ”

Xi Zhicai said with a smile: "The Romans have plans to withdraw, but it is difficult to ride a tiger!" ”

Cao Cao nodded, "I'm a little worried about the people of the Jin Kingdom now holding on as Zhicai said!" If that's the case, our army will have to fight them here! That's not a good thing right now! ”

An hour after Xi Zhicai left, a herald hurriedly rushed into the big tent and reported to Cao Cao, who was standing in front of the sand table: "Your Majesty, our army's scout troops have intercepted one of the opponent's carrier pigeons!" ”

He then presented the herald.

Cao Cao immediately took it and flew it over, frowning, "Let Zhicai and the generals come to the big tent!" ”

"No!" The herald answered and withdrew from the tent.

Cao Cao looked at Nisa City on the sand table and muttered, "A bloody battle is inevitable!" ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, a big war is inevitable!" Cao Cao raised the intercepted handbook in his hand and said in a deep voice.

Xi Zhicai couldn't help frowning, while Ma Chao, Zhao Yun, and Yan Yan were almost at the same time, looking impatient.

"Your Majesty, is it true that the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom has decided to stick to Nisa?" Xi Zhicai asked.

Cao Cao nodded, "Not only that, but reinforcements from the Jin Kingdom will arrive soon!" ”

"Come on! Let the people of Jin Guo see the blade of the last general! Ma Chao said excitedly.

Cao Cao smiled and said solemnly: "I'm afraid that our army will pay a considerable price in this battle!" ”

"Your Majesty, the Soldier's Horse Leather Shroud is a supreme honor! Which of the Great Wei soldiers is not ready to spill blood on the battlefield at any time! Ma Chaohao said.

Cao Cao's eyes lit up, "Meng Qi said it well!" Let the blood of the people of the Jin Kingdom shine on the supreme glory of my Great Wei Empire! ”

The generals couldn't help but be enthusiastic, and shouted in unison: "I am willing to die on the battlefield for Your Majesty!" Long live Your Majesty! Long live the Great Wei Empire! ”

Dian Wei and Xu Chu, who were standing beside Cao Cao, pursed their lips excitedly when they saw this scene, and the fingers holding the blade turned white.

Just when the Wei army, the Roman army and the Jin army confronted each other, the two forces within the Kushan were fighting like tea, and the Vesudeva army, which had already taken the initiative, lost its previous advantage due to the sudden invasion of the Jin people, but the Yueduo army did not take this opportunity to regain the initiative, and the armies of both sides were in a stalemate on both fronts.

Early that morning, the people of the Jin Kingdom in the city of Nissa suddenly heard the earth-shattering sound of war drums outside the city, and some of them were very familiar with this kind of war drums, and they had heard this kind of war drums like a roar more than once in the southern fortress, and even on the steppes of their original homeland.

Immediately, I saw the flags of the Shangzu clan in the wilderness outside the south gate, and the regular army of the Wei army in black and black armor and the Western Regions army in earth-colored armor pressed towards the city wall like a rising tide.

The alarm bell of the Jin people rang out in a hurry, and then the archers, swords and shields continued to rush towards the city wall, and at the same time, the wood and stones were also continuously transported to the city.

At the same time, the unique horn sound of the Roman army outside the western city gate resounded in the sky, and hundreds of thousands of Roman soldiers lined up in a neat phalanx and slowly advanced towards the city wall.

The Wei army set up a battle formation at a distance of 500 paces from the city wall, with a total of 12 phalanxes, and the eight phalanxes on the periphery were 10,000 men each, of which the four phalanxes on the two wings were cavalry teams, and the four phalanxes in the middle were 20,000 men each, all of which were mixed with infantry and cavalry: at the very front of the entire battle array, there were two rows of 300 torsion catapults, and there were two cavalry teams on both sides of the catapult formation to protect the catapult formation from being raided by the opposing cavalry.

Cao Cao immediately looked at the city not far away under the imperial flag of the Chinese army.

Nissa City is the core town of the Khorizm region, and although the size of the entire city is only the size of a county town in the Central Plains, it is very strong.

There are two city walls in the whole city, the outermost city wall is as high as two zhang, all of which are made of large stone barriers, the second city wall is thirty steps away from the first city wall, up to three zhang, it is obvious that the gold **** that loses the first city wall can also rely on the second city wall to defend, and cause favorable damage to the enemy army attacking the first city wall, there are five relatively independent castles connected by tunnels in the city, there is one between the east, west, north and south walls, and one is in the inner city, the scale is the largest, This is also where Nissa's government is located.

The defense system of the entire Nissa City is somewhat similar to the Dingbei City built by the Great Wei Empire on the north coast, but it is much inferior in scale and overall defensive strength.

Cao Cao looked at the city in front of him and couldn't help frowning.

At this time, a herald came to Cao Cao's horse, "Your Majesty, all the armies are ready!" ”

Cao Cao's eyes narrowed, "Start attacking!" Hit me hard!! ”

"No!"

Immediately, the flag danced, and more than 300 catapults roared together, and when they landed, the southern wall of Nisa was full of fire, smoke and dust, and stumps and broken arms flew all over the sky.

The people of the Western Regions who saw this scene for the first time couldn't help but turn pale and look horrified, and even more so, their legs were involuntarily swinging, and many of them were still silently chanting something.

The Wei catapults continued to fire, while at the same time, two 10,000-strong Western Regions legions advanced towards the city walls to the sound of war drums.

When the Western Legions advanced to a distance of a hundred paces from the city walls, the catapults stopped firing, and the scene on the battlefield shifted to traditional siege warfare.

The soldiers of the Western Regions Legion rushed towards the city wall with ladders, flying arms and rushing carts under the cover of crossbowmen, while the Jin people returned fire with bows and arrows.

The 20,000 soldiers of the Western Regions Legion rushed to the city wall after paying a certain price, and then some of the soldiers used cloud ladders and flying towers to attack the city wall, while the other part of the soldiers rushed towards the city wall through the blown up area, and the crossbowmen covered the rushing troops with bows and crossbows under the city.

Soon, the soldiers of both sides entered a bloody hand-to-hand battle, and it was obvious that these soldiers of the Western Regions Legion were obviously not the opponents of the fierce Jin people.

The siege lasted only half an hour, and the soldiers of the Western Regions Legion, who had lost their sharpness, scrambled to retreat. (To be continued.) )
