A red signal flare slowly rose in the distance, reflecting the whole sky into a bright red scene.
The soldiers on the fortress raised their throats and everyone held the weapons in their hands nervously, sweat slowly flowed down their foreheads, and they were about to face the millions of lions attacking from front and back.
The soldiers in the fortress had no way out at all. The only thing they could rely on was the thick and high city walls and the weapons in their hands.
The 300,000 troops on Xiaomai's side had already lined up to make preparations for the siege. Xiaomai commanded the 200,000 army, while the third elder Wuling led the 100,000 army, and Situ Jing and Xin Yurou followed him.
As the red signal flare rose, Xiaomai ordered: "Siege." All the troops slowly approached the city wall. Because they lacked small and large siege weapons, Xiaomai tried to suppress the soldiers on the city as long as possible, so that casualties could be reduced.
The soldiers on the fortress saw the enemies below approaching and fought back desperately, and every second a living life left.
The person responsible for defending the north gate of the fortress was the second legion led by the fifth elder who retreated north of Shafeng City and the very familiar Hu Ben of Xiaomai.
Xiaomai and Wuling rose into the air, approaching the city wall and constantly used their skills to attack and destroy the soldiers and the city walls. Although they caused damage to the soldiers on the city walls, they were negligible for the city walls.
Wuling still had his old opponent, the fifth elder, and he didn't dare to get too close to the fortress. Both of them were attacking each other from a distance to defend each other.
As for Xiaomai, you can see Commander Hu Ben at a glance and shouted to him: "Master Hu Ben, I haven't seen him for many years, and I didn't expect to meet again to be on the battlefield. Surrender, you have no chance of winning." Xiaomai was making the final attempt.
"Xiao Wheat, life and death are fought on the battlefield. Others can surrender, but I can't. You don't have to take into account the old feelings. We speak with our strength." Commander Hu Ben said boldly.
Some old subordinates who had followed Xiaomai on the city wall also recognized him and missed the days when they fought with Xiaomai and ate delicious food and drink. However, the two sides had to fight life and death on the battlefield. They knew the taste of this.
"Master Hu Ben, are you going to take your brothers to die together? Do you know that you have no chance of winning in this battle, and do you still have to stick to the spirit of knighthood in your heart?"
"The brothers behind you, which family has no relatives? Many families have young children to support, and elderly parents need to support them. At this time, who is not a soldier for the sake of making a living? Are you just letting them die in vain?" Xiaomai said hoarsely.
The soldiers of the Second Legion on the city wall were moved. Indeed, many people joined the army just for their lives. Li Feifan chose to join the army for his family.
"I, Wang Xiaomai, here to promise to all brothers that if you surrender, I can let you go, and you can stay in my army. I will never treat you badly." Xiaomai shouted loudly again.
Everyone who followed Xiaomai on the city wall was moved. They knew Xiaomai well, and every time they fought, they would lead by example and kill the enemy. They were a trustworthy person.
Both sides stopped attacking, and Xiaomai was waiting for the reply from Commander Hu Ben.
Noqi, who was beside Hu Ben, also said to him: "Hu Ben, you have also seen what has been done within the alliance over the years, and it is not worth our efforts. Xiaomai is right. If he persists, he will kill all his brothers."
Hu Ben sighed lightly and said, "Forget it, forgot, Noqi, you take the brothers of the Second Legion to surrender to Xiaomai and the others. I believe that Xiaomai will not treat you badly."
"Hu Ben, what about you? Are you not leaving?" Noqi asked anxiously.
"Let's go, Noqi, don't worry about me. Lead your brothers to help him well." Hu Ben seemed to have grown much older.
Noqi knew that he could not persuade Hu Ben, so he gritted his teeth and led the soldiers of the Second Legion to surrender to Xiaomai.
The fifth elder on the other side saw the strangeness of the Second Legion and hurriedly shouted: "Hu Ben, what are you doing? Are you going to betray the Alliance of Light?"
"I'm sorry, sir, I've failed the cultivation of the alliance. I will not leave and live and die with the Alwand Fortress."
Xiaomai was relieved when she saw Vice Commander Noqi leading the Second Legion to surrender, so she would not have to fight with her former brothers in life and death. At the same time, this surrender was a legion, and the defense line guarded by the entire Second Legion was empty. Xiaomai could take advantage of the opportunity and breaking the city was only a day to wait.
After so many years, Noqi has entered the Yuan Realm. Noqi rose up in the air and said, "Xiaomai, I hope you will do what you say and I will give it to you." Then he landed on the ground and asked all the soldiers of the Second Legion to hand over their weapons.
Of course, Xiaomai knew what Noqi meant. No matter how hard this cow was, he had to force him to lead him.
Xiaomai said to Hu Ben: "Since the leader of Hu Ben is unwilling to surrender, then let's fight. I will suppress my cultivation and fight you."
"Hmph, you don't have to suppress your cultivation. Let me see how much your cultivation has improved over the years." Hu Ben said arrogantly.
The two of them confronted each other in the air. The Hu Ben, who is more than 120, is quite good at strength, but it is not worth mentioning in front of Xiaomai, a powerful Holy Yuan Realm powerhouse.
As soon as Hu Ben took action, Xiaomai's speed was too fast. He flashed behind Hu Ben and knocked Hu Ben to faint. Then he lifted Hu Ben and threw it towards Nuoqi.
Noqi steadily caught Hu Ben and gave Xiaomai a thumbs up. Xiaomai now has no time to play with you. He also wants to go to Wuling, the third elder, where can he annihilate the army of the fifth elders of the Light Alliance.
When the fifth elder saw that Hu Ben's entire legion surrendered, he knew it was over. The Orwande Fortress was over. He wanted to get rid of Wuling, but Wuling entangled him tightly. The fifth elder now just wanted to leave here as soon as possible.
After Xiaomai dealt with the Hu Ben, she immediately ordered her army to attack the fortress. The army led by the fifth elder was still fighting desperately, but it is conceivable that 100,000 people were facing an attack of 300,000 people.
Xiaomai and Wu Ning jointly attacked the fifth elder. Under the attacks of the two, the fifth elder retreated step by step and was unable to counterattack.
The strongest and ridiculous thing is that the fifth elder actually shouted to surrender. The degree of greed for life and fear of death is even stronger than that of ordinary people. However, Xiaomai and Wuling ignored him at all and still attacked desperately.
Soon Wu Ling slapped his back with a palm, and Xiaomai also stabbed him in his heart with a knife, and a generation of powerful people in the Holy Yuan Realm died.
The soldiers on the city wall saw that the fifth elder was killed and the enemy troops rushing over like a flood, and they couldn't help but put down their weapons and chose to surrender.
Xiaomai and Wuling did not expect that the battle in Beimen would be so straightforward, and this was all due to Hu Ben's surrender.
As for the south gate, it was not so smooth. Both armies were fighting hard to kill, and there were corpses and blood inside and outside the city.
