We are all reborn, let's practice dual cultivation with Master first

Rounds of colorful arrow rains fell on the city's formation, creating ripples and making the city feel as if it was in the middle of a storm.

But even so, the soldiers on the tower did not retreat a single step. They continued to carry out the general's orders and continuously placed "spiritual crystals" into their weapons.

"Boom boom boom——"

Another round of artillery fire followed, and hundreds of Hu people fell from the sky like burnt locusts.

It seems that this organized defense did effectively block the attack of the Hu people.

However, a crack in the city's shield broke the confidence of all the defenders in the city.

The commander saw the cracks on the shield and said to his guards in shock and anger, "What's going on?! This has happened in just half a day. Go and have a look!"

"As you command, General!"

The personal soldiers took the order and went to the large formation in the center of the city at an extremely fast speed.

Not long after, the guards came back in panic, their voices coming before they even arrived, "Not good, General!"

The garrison commander had a bad feeling when he saw this, but in order to stabilize the morale of the troops, he shouted, "What a big deal! Why are you so flustered!"

After being scolded by the general, the soldier realized that his reaction was inappropriate and immediately stopped talking, but he could still hardly hide the panic on his face.

When the guards arrived, the commander said with an unpleasant expression, "What's going on? This formation should have lasted for three days, why did this happen?"

The personal soldier tried hard to calm himself, but the emotions in his heart were still difficult to suppress. He spoke incoherently, "The spirit crystals sent by the court... are mixed with many defective ones. They are simply unable to stably maintain the operation of the formation. Even if the brothers go up personally and use their own spiritual power to maintain it, they can only hold on for half an hour at most!"

"What?!" The guard was shocked and angry.

He knew that most of the people would handle the things sent by the court, but he didn't expect that he could get such a big discount, especially at this moment that concerns the fate of the country.

"These bastards!" The defending general cursed angrily.

As the guard finished speaking, a loud explosion was heard nearby.

"What's going on?" The general turned around in shock and anger.

Not long after, a soldier with a bloody face came crawling over and said angrily, "General, there is something wrong with these weapons. Not only do they often fail, but now they have exploded directly."

As one crisis after another arose, the defender's face was so ugly that it could not be described.

Then, bad news came one after another.

Some of the Shenwei cannons fell apart, and some of the spirit crystals were too low quality to drive the weapons, etc. This put the generals of the city of the Ming Dynasty in a disadvantageous position, with a tendency to be defeated.

"General, what should we do? Brothers are not afraid of dying in battle, but we cannot die in such a miserable way!" The personal soldier beside him spoke anxiously, with a look of resentment on his face.

The general guarding the pass looked at the boundless barbarians in the sky, then looked at his comrades who were fighting hard against the enemy. He clenched his fists and hammered heavily on the city wall, saying in a hoarse voice: "Maybe we can send someone to the rear for help?"

The guard shook his head. "The barbarians came so suddenly that we didn't even have time to send anyone before the city was surrounded."

Hearing this, the guarding general's face became even more serious. Looking at the artillery bombardment that was gradually showing signs of decline, and the shield that was flickering, he knew that his side could not hold on for much longer.

Now he only regretted that he could not eat the flesh of those wicked people in the court alive.

Originally, as long as the court's supplies were not discounted, or even 40% off, they could hold out for a day or two. By then, even if they did not send anyone to ask for help, the defenders of the city behind them would surely come to rescue them if they found out about the situation.

However, less than 20% of the things given by the court were usable, and they were already stretched to the limit less than half a day after the war began, leaving them no chance to fight back.

The general guarding the pass pondered for a while, and finally sighed heavily, saying: "Prepare to break out, I will cover your back. If the court holds you accountable for the crime of retaking the city, you can honestly say that this was my order..."

"But, General..." The guard widened his eyes.

The commander patted his personal soldier on the shoulder and interrupted, "No buts! Take the brothers out and don't look back."

"General..." The guard's eyes were already filled with tears.

The general guarding the pass patted him on the shoulder again and said, "They are still young and should not die meaninglessly. Go and give the order."

After saying this, the general guarding the pass turned around resolutely, stood on the top of the city wall, and faced the barbarians.

Seeing that their general also stood on the top of the city wall and fought alongside them, the soldiers whose morale was on the verge of collapse regained some courage and launched a powerful counterattack.

At the same time, the order to retreat spread throughout the army.

The soldiers were shocked and started to riot.

At this moment, the general guarding the pass flew to the middle of the city and shouted loudly: "Soldiers - today's disaster is all due to my mistake. It has nothing to do with you. I will do my best to delay the enemy, and you just need to evacuate!"

The general's voice spread throughout the army. After being confused at first, the soldiers quickly understood what the general meant - the general wanted to exchange his own life for their chance to survive.

After the generals in the city understood what had happened, they all had tears in their eyes and were filled with indignation.

"We're not leaving!"

"We won't leave unless the general leaves. We swear to share the hardships with the general!"

"Yes! If we're going to die, we're going to die together. I will never be a deserter!"

The soldiers spoke one after another, all determined to die to prove their will, and none of them was a coward.

The general was very pleased to hear this, but precisely because of this, he had to let them leave. They still had unlimited possibilities and should not die here in vain.

"This is an order!" The general gritted his teeth and said this.

The soldiers were still unwilling to leave, but the personal soldiers who received the general's order continued to organize the soldiers in the city to retreat. It was not that they were afraid of death, but they knew that delaying at this time would increase the pressure on the general.

Most of the soldiers were called up, but some older ones chose to refuse, saying things like "it's worth it" and "I decided to stay here".

The bodyguards knew that some people had to stay behind to maintain the situation, so they did not persuade these people much, but just bowed deeply to them to express their gratitude.

it is more than words.

Before long, most of the soldiers in the city were forced to assemble.

Afterwards, the city's defense formation was taken over by several of the general's personal soldiers. Regardless of their own losses, they injected a large amount of spiritual power into it, making the originally flickering shield come alive again.

Seeing this, the general yelled, "Prepare to evacuate!"

After saying that, the general rushed out of the south gate and fought his way through for the evacuating soldiers.

Seeing this, the personal soldier who was in charge of leading the troops to evacuate shouted with tears in his eyes: "Go!"

After saying that, he rushed out of the city first.

The personal soldiers led the way and blocked all kinds of arrows.

The general was also trying his best to clear out the Hu people in this direction. Even though the Hu people had sent strong men from the Earthly Immortal Realm to deal with them, the general had already made up his mind to fight to the death, and they all fought with no regard for their lives. This greatly slowed down the enemy's pace, making it impossible for them to chase and kill the evacuated soldiers in a short time.

After most of the soldiers evacuated the town, the bodyguards no longer maintained the formation, but flew into the air and fought desperately with the Hu people. When their energy was about to run out, they self-destructed their dantian.

Such a crazy fighting style actually caused the entire Hu army to fall into chaos. For a while, they had no time to take care of other things, which bought a lot of time for those who were evacuating.

There were not many Hu people available to chase and kill, and the soldiers gradually withdrew from the central area of ​​the battlefield. The hope of survival was right in front of them, but no one had a look of joy on their face, only grief.

The leading soldier felt both relieved and sad when he saw that half of the people who escaped were alive.

Afterwards, the personal soldiers slowed down their pace, took the initiative to stand at the end, and used their bodies to continuously block the pursuing Hu people.

Above the city, Lin Dan Khan looked at the southern generals who were constantly killing his warriors, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration for them. He then came here in person to persuade them to surrender, saying: "Now that you have reached the end of your rope, why bother to struggle any longer? You have an old saying, 'He who knows the current situation is a hero'. If you take off your armor and surrender, I will definitely give you wealth and glory!"

The guarding general raised his head with blood all over his face, glanced at Lin Danhan with a look of disdain, and said: "Haha, you bastard with fur and horns are worthy of me kneeling, bah--"

After saying that, he spat a mouthful of blood at Lin Danhan.

"You!" Lin Danhan was about to get angry, but he saw that the remaining hand of the general guarding the pass had already pressed on his dantian.

Lin Danhan cried out inwardly that something was wrong and ran away.

Seeing Lin Danhan in such an embarrassed state, the general laughed wantonly, "Hahahaha - my life is worth it!"

Then there was a loud bang, and countless Hu people were instantly overwhelmed by the energy of the self-explosion of the powerful Earth Immortal Realm.

In the evacuating team, the personal soldiers saw the loud noise that shook the sky and the earth, and tears flowed down their eyes and drifted away with the wind.

Before long, the pursuing Hu people disappeared, and a city wall gradually appeared on the horizon ahead.

Seeing the outline of the city, the soldiers gradually stopped.

The grieving army did not notice that he had fallen behind. He just watched his colleagues' backs with a relieved expression on his face. Then he slowly turned back in the direction he came from, muttering, "General, I have lived up to your trust."

After saying that, he drew the long sword from his waist, wiped his neck, and fell in the direction where his commander fell.

The Lord is in the north; you cannot die facing south.

The breeze blew through the grass and also blew up his already messy hair, revealing his face. There was no pain on his face, and he even showed a faint smile.
