Attacking the city at the hottest time of the day was supposed to be a great torture for both the attackers and the defenders, but Zagmer did not do this, but waited until the afternoon to continue.

During this period, a lot of preparations were made in the Belan army.

Thanks to the fact that many of the Beran soldiers liked to carry a small axe as a secondary weapon, and some even used a large axe as their main weapon, they were also quick to cut wood.

When it was time to attack the city in the afternoon, Luo Ming saw a large number of "mounds" slowly advancing towards his side.

If you look closely, it is not a mound, but a simple shield cart, and there is not only a layer of wood in front of it to block arrows, but also a layer of earth piled up outside the plank to further increase the defense.

Many soldiers followed behind the shield carts, some in charge of pushing carts, some with weapons, and some carrying bags and baskets of dirt.

It seems that the people of Belan are going to use this method to slowly advance.

Luo Ming counted carefully, good guy, the number of these shield carts adds up to twenty-seven, just to build these shield carts, I'm afraid the axes have been cut down a lot.

An artilleryman turned the light cannon, squinted his eyes for a moment, and then lit the fuse.

The projectile, which was smaller than a mountain grenade, flew out, hit the ground, and then bounced and smashed into the front of a shield cart.

The layer of soil covering the shield car seemed to be really thick, absorbing most of the momentum, and the projectile was directly embedded in it, while the wooden structure itself only made a creaking sound, and it was beaten to a halt.

Soon, the soldiers behind it cheered and continued to push the cart forward.

"It doesn't work after bouncing...... Maybe there is also a problem with incidence?" Luo Ming immediately ordered, "Don't panic, aim patiently, and shoot directly with light artillery!"

Twenty seconds later, a light cannon opened fire again, and the cannon finally hit the bull's-eye, partly due to the closer opponent and the increased aiming time.

The sawdust exploded behind the shield cart and a soldier fell, but the shell also lost its strength and could not move on, injuring people. The rest of the soldiers simply avoided the hole and continued to push the car forward.

"That's so thick? That's a lot of money. Luo Ming still didn't panic in the slightest, but thought about the connotation.

The shield cart itself was not slow to make, as long as the soldiers were urged to work, but when a large amount of earth was piled up outside the planks to the point where it could defend against long-range fire from light artillery shells, the shield cart naturally became extremely heavy.

Such a shield cart is conservatively estimated to be a few hundred kilograms, and the people of Belan can still push it so fast, and the soldiers who push the cart have either received the blessing of spells or are elite, which probably can't be wrong.

"Prepare incendiary bombs. Luo Ming smiled and ordered the soldiers to go and light the fire.

The incendiary bombs he spoke of were not filled with flammable materials, but were genuine solid shells, but were only burned red in a furnace, and the shells were fired at such high temperatures that they could effectively start a flame on any wooden structure.

Of course, this will have to burn for a while, but Luo Ming is not in a hurry, even if the shield cart is pushed fast, it can't reach the speed of ordinary people walking, and it will take a long time to get closer.

Most of the mountain grenades were still firing from a distance to suppress the Ben Thunder Car, the Belan Mage Regiment, and a few other earthen walls, but Luo Ming still managed to pull out one first and shoot at the shield car.

The mountain grenade really lived up to expectations, its caliber was larger, and the kinetic energy of the projectile fired was naturally increased, although in order to reduce the weight of field maneuvers, its barrel was made shorter, but it was still much stronger than light artillery.

When this cannon went down, a large hole appeared in the center of one of the shield carts, and the cannonballs directly knocked down the three people who pushed the carts, and then smashed on the second shield cart behind them, and then they reluctantly stopped advancing.

Forty-five seconds later, the second cannon was fired, and it struck the same shield cart again, cutting a large hole in its edge, and by the way, breaking a supporting wooden stick, and this time, the structure of the shield cart could no longer bear its own weight, and the small half of the shield surface snapped off, and smashed down with a thick layer of earth, crushing the two unlucky men.

This car must be useless, the shield car behind can only slowly turn around, and if you are not careful, the soldiers behind the shield car will be exposed, and the two light cannons fired shotguns and smashed over, and sure enough, there were another gains.

If it is an ordinary miscellaneous soldier, the morale has plummeted at this moment, and it will not even be long before they start to flee, after all, in most wars in this era, morale falls faster than casualties, but Luo Ming does not want to see this situation.

Anyway, under the cannonballs, both elite soldiers and miscellaneous soldiers are equal, if the morale of the other party is high enough to fight to the death, it is equivalent to giving Luo Ming more opportunities to fire and hurt people, which is simply wonderful.

When the shield cart came to eighty meters away, Luo Ming gave an order, and the soldiers used iron tongs to clip the red-hot cannonball from the stove, separated it from the gunpowder underneath with a damp cloth, and put it into the barrel, and the artillerymen immediately lit the fuse and launched the red-hot dangerous goods.

The blazing shells smashed through the soil and touched the thick planks underneath, and although they were mostly blocked, the high heat quickly ignited the planks, which at first were only smoking, but by the time the people of Beran realized this, there were already open flames.

The spellcasters on Luo Ming's side urged the spell together, and rolled up a gust of wind to blow that side, and the fire took advantage of the wind and suddenly became vigorous.

"Give it to me!" Zagmer was furious when he saw this, and personally rushed to the side of the thunder cart with a group of masters, and struggled to wind it up, and two more swordsmen shouted, picked up the stone bullet and raised it above his head and placed it on the thunder cart.

The Thunder Carts immediately threw the stone projectile, and at this moment, many of Luo Ming's spellcasters were still blowing the wind to fuel the fire, and they did not have time to form a large spell to block the blow.

Seeing it streak across the sky and about to reach the top of the city wall, Luo Ming drew his sword and stepped forward.

The spellcaster who was able to free his hands quickly blessed him with a stream of spiritual light, and replaced him with an ordinary swordsman, so many blessing spells were completely unhelpful, and even his body would not be able to bear it.

But Luo Ming had a more solid and thick foundation than any swordsman, and he withstood all these improvements, and then combined with his own strength, he reached a peak!

"Little Sword of the Princes!"

The sword light poured out, drowning the stone projectile entirely, as if it was about to swallow it.

Naturally, it is impossible to really swallow it, if this stone bullet is quietly placed on the ground, Luo Ming's sword can completely smash it, but now it carries a huge kinetic energy, if it is completely hard, Luo Ming will suffer a lot, and the broken stone that is shattered at such a close distance will also sweep through a city like a shotgun and cause a lot of damage.

In the next moment, the steel sword in Luo Ming's hand had broken inch by inch, and the sword light exploded, and it seemed that the stone bullet rushed out of it unscathed!
