Although the Lord of Beihai and his soldiers may not be willing to surrender, the nobles and residents in the city have long complained.

Although the entire Shura world can be said to be the whole people, in fact, there is still a distinction between the army and the civilians, but it is not obvious.

Because of fear of Beihai City, the prospect of being violently captured by the enemy, and the fear of revenge for the massacre of the city, the nobles decided to surrender to Yang Ming with conditions after discussing.

Finally, at dawn, two envoys secretly brought letters to meet Yang Ming before the general attack, telling him that if in a few days, Beihai City could not wait for Luohu reinforcements from Xuri City, they would surrender to Yang Ming.

During the siege, some support from Luohu came from small troops of small lords in some places.

The entire surrender process was not smooth. When Yang Ming was ready to accept Beihai City, the south of the city was still resisting tenaciously.

Even if the Lord of Beihai wanted to fight to the end, he was still restricted by the power of the nobles when he made the decision. Without the support of the nobles in the city wall, he could not have defended Beihai City. He had lost almost half of his subordinates, and the remaining people were exhausted, hungry and powerless.

At the scheduled time, Yang Ming sat on the throne of the Beihai City Lord's Mansion, wearing a gold-embroidered dress, while other leaders and nobles in the most luxurious costumes stood beside the city lord.

Soldiers stood by the road, marking the road from the city gate to the city lord's mansion, leading the representatives of Beihai City to the location of the ceremony.

At the corresponding time, the city gates were wide open, and the Beihai City Lord walked in front, with dozens of officers under his command and other representatives. In order to show insult to them, they were not allowed to carry their own war horses, weapons, and all other property.

So they could only walk to the city lord's mansion, come to Yang Ming, hand over the city keys and submit to him together.

After Beihai City surrendered, the flag, shield emblem and heraldry of Luohu's side in the city were quickly replaced and replaced by the flag of the King of Fire.

For Yang Ming, any surrender ceremony about Beihai City was carefully planned, including deliberate insults to the prisoners.

For example, the generals of Beihai City were forced to surrender under the watch of the Firefighting Army soldiers, with the purpose of intimidating other places where they wanted to resist.

He won Beihai City by force and was favored by the Fire King.

In the following days, Yang Ming released the captured Beihai City Lord. He took Yang Ming's handwritten letter to the next acropolis. In the letter, Yang Ming offered his opponent a invitation to a decisive battle. It was obvious that the other party could not accept this kind of challenge of losing, but in order not to act like a coward, he could not write a letter to reject the proposal.

In this way, the war between the two sides continued

If we continue, after conquering Beihai City, the Fire Army still needs to attack several acropolis in this area, but many wounded and sick people have been sent back for treatment.

Although Luohu's mobilization was slow, as time continued, it gradually gathered the power that made the flame army afraid.

Qinghe City is located in the Qinghe Plain. After the Luohu army stationed here, it quickly expanded the port and developed resources, and used it as one of the main strongholds for plundering Qinghe's wealth and fighting the Firefighting Army.

Qinghe City cooperated with the Rising Sun City to launch many battles against the Firefighting Army, attacking the Firefighting Army several times, and destroying a lot of the Firefighting Army's supplies.

During the entire war, Qinghe City not only provided supplies to Rising Sun City, but also sent many teams to help Rising Sun City restrain the flame army.

A large amount of supplies from Qinghe City were transported to the Rising Sun City to support the Rising Sun City in fighting the flames.

Although when it comes to war, the first thing people think of is the scene of cavalry charge and archers firing thousands of arrows at once, in fact, in the war form of Asura realm, siege war also plays an important role, and its significance is often greater than that of field wars.

In general, although field battles can eliminate the enemy's living forces, only by capturing the city can their power be completely wiped out.

Moreover, since the targets are often close to strategic locations, an army can truly control the entire area only if it captures the city.

In this battle just ended, the Firefighting Army defeated the more with fewer bows and killed a large number of Northern Navy cavalry. However, before occupying the Calais Fortress the following year, the British army truly controlled the favorable situation.

Another special feature of siege warfare is the precise technology and complex tactics contained in it. Siege does not just make the army rush up or open a gap in the city wall.

It also includes careful preparations and huge logistical investments, which are even more difficult than siege itself.

In addition, after the fall of Emperor Asura, with the emergence of stone castles, the form of siege became more and more complex, and the requirements for tactics became higher, and the status of siege weapons gradually increased.

Now every castle in the Asura realm is basically made of stone materials, and only powerful siege weapons can capture it.

This is also the dilemma of the siege. In general, no matter which period, as the first step in siege, the commander must formulate a general strategy, such as how many people are invested, how many days to solve the battle, how many materials it needs to be collected, etc.

Once the strategy is determined, he can begin to prepare, collect weapons, collect food, summon warriors and craftsmen, etc. When summoning troops, a special factor is the nobles. These Asura nobles are the core of the battlefield, but their loyalty is not absolute.

The nobles in the Asura realm, their loyalty

Sincerity is not absolute, and similar situations are completely applicable to Asura warriors.

In the entire Asura world, there was no recognized leader. If the siege was protracted and the military pay was not received on time, their minds would soon turn to other things worthy of concern, which would lead to a mutiny in the army.

It is precisely because of this that before the siege begins, the commander always has to judge the situation to ensure that the siege can continuously weaken the enemy while not exhausting his supplies in advance.

In fact, this is just a microcosm of the war. In many cases, the lords either have to borrow money to fight, or have to postpone the payment of wages, and deceive the soldiers, and place their hopes on the large-scale looting after entering the city.

In view of the efforts of siege, many lords will try to defeat others without fighting.

Specifically, in order to end the battle at a smaller cost, both sides will leave some room for their opponents before the war.

Sometimes the siege would offer conditions to allow the defenders to surrender on decent conditions.

In other cases, they will deliberately postpone the date of the general offensive and allow the defenders to symbolically defend for a period of time in order to give their respective lords an explanation and then sign a peace agreement.

If the enemy refuses to surrender, the besieged forces will immediately take action, occupy favorable terrain outside the city, and build camps and necessary defense facilities.

At the same time, engineers will also build siege equipment; other soldiers will go around the castle to incite villagers to dissatisfaction with the lord, or plunder various supplies and military supplies.

When the above preparations were completed, the battle entered the first stage.

In order to facilitate action, the attackers will use branches, soil and other materials to fill the moat around the castle in advance. If the moat is too wide, they will also use materials locally to build some pontoon bridges or boats.

The first group of soldiers will then launch a tentative attack, and this offensive is generally not very fierce. During this period, infantry will use ladders and ropes to climb up the city walls under the cover of archers and engage in hand-to-hand combat with the defenders.

In order to distract the enemy's attention, the attacker will also bluff in many areas. Once the defenders are caught off guard, the pressure on the main attack direction will be greatly reduced.

At this stage, the main purpose of capturing the city is luck. If the defenders are careless or have serious shortage of troops, the attacking party will even succeed overnight.

But in reality, similar situations are often quite rare.

For example, in the battle between the Yanhuo Army and the Luohu Army, both sides dare not surrender at will. This is because sometimes, it seems that a small number of troops are fighting, but it is very likely that the big figure behind both sides are playing chess.
