Most of the Berans were indeed in high spirits, convinced that it was just a difficult task to be overcome by the brave soldiers.

But Beran's "mage group (most of them are not mages)" has an ugly face.

Luo Ming not only threw shotguns at the Benlei, but also occasionally mixed in with one or two solid bullets, and intercepting one solid bullet was more tiring than intercepting ten rounds of shotguns.

Projectile solid bullets basically miss the target, but you can't help but intercept it, in case the moment of removing the protective shield happens to miss a wave of shotguns, it will be a big trouble!

Yes, it is true that the projectile will not do much damage to the thick wood, but it can also smash some delicate parts, and it can be troublesome to injure the engineer operating the minecar.

All in all, their mana is being drained at a rapid rate, and it's really not good to go on like this.

Zagmer apparently understood this, and he had his soldiers dig up the earthen walls extensively to try to attract fire, while he removed the discouraged cavalry archers and sent some infantry up to attack the city.

These infantrymen have taken off their excess armor to lighten their loads, and since heavy armor can't stop muskets, they should simply put down the extra burdens - after all, it is clear that Luo Ming does not have enough archers.

The bow and arrow are less lethal than the musket, but the rate of fire can reach many times that of the arquebus, and if Luo Ming has a large number of archers, this trick is a failure.

Some of the infantry carried the ladder and tried to rush to the bottom of the city of Luo Ming - although the structure of his walls was strong, since there was a slope outside the wall, the whole looked like an uphill slope, which meant that once the ladder was erected, it was more difficult to be knocked down, and the soldiers could climb it more easily.

As long as you rush to the top of the city, not to mention whether you have the ability to gain a firm foothold, at least you can greatly disrupt the deployment of the city defense, and it would be better if you could take advantage of the chaos to kill a few more artillerymen.

To be fair, that's a good way to cope.

Seeing these lightly armored soldiers rushing towards them carrying ladders, Luo Ming first asked some of the tiger squat cannons and light cannons to fire for the time being, and then issued an order for the musketeers to change their shotguns.

The muzzle of a heavy arquebus can be tucked into a thumb, almost a small cannon, and it can fire a large projectile, and of course it can fire quite a few shotguns.

Of course, this shotgun is completely incomparable to the artillery shotgun, basically a single projectile is only about five millimeters in diameter, and each shot basically fires twenty pieces. Some muskets fired shotguns with similarly sized stones, saving lead bullet but further reducing their lethality.

Such a shotgun can't cause much damage if it hits heavy armor, for example, it can only cause scratches on the chest plate made by Meiquan Ling, and the paper armor has a chance to completely block it, but the opposite side abandons the heavy armor for speed, and many people simply wear cloth clothes, which is exactly what they want.

Last month, Lomin had soldiers test their guns while hunting, and with such a shot, they could knock down goats with a single shot, and the deer would not live long if they were not killed on the spot, and even a wild boar with rough skin and thick flesh would be knocked out with a single shot.

In short, Luo Ming didn't believe that the Berans without heavy armor could be more solid than wild boars.

At the head of the city, after the sound of cannons, fifty muskets sprayed shotguns one after another, and the Berans, who were lucky enough to escape under the shotguns, were beaten in the face by small lead bullets and stones, and immediately fell in a row, they may not die immediately, but they also absolutely lost their combat effectiveness, and before they die, they will let out a scream of ghosts and wolves, which will further damage the morale of friendly troops.

The officers and overseers in the back row, armed with long knives and even bows and arrows, forced the soldiers in front to continue to rush, and after another round of shotgun fire, it seemed that they had finally broken through the line of death and came to the front of the moat.

Many ladders were brought down, and the soldiers stepped on them directly to cross the moat, and then they did the same, climbed over the trenches, and finally came to the bottom of the city walls, and were about to erect the ladders.

However, they had not yet realized a fatal point - between Luo Ming's moat and the moat, there was only about one and a half meters between them, and the bottom of the city wall was very close to the ditch, and the people who could stand were also only a small section of one meter and a half wide.

Of course, simply falling a few people is insignificant for their total number, but the crowding situation of this person is very fatal.

On the side, in the huge protrusion of the city walls, a group of artillerymen, with the help of ordinary soldiers, turned a mountain howitzer in the direction.

At this moment, the position of this artillery and the deployment of the enemy army are simply brilliant - the enemy army is under a straight city wall, and the people are crowded into a slender and slender dragon, and this long dragon is exactly in the same line as this cannon!

"Let's play the nine-pin ball!"

The artilleryman smiled evilly and lit the fuse, and in the next moment, the shell quickly flew out of the barrel and fell into the crowded long line!

The so-called nine-pin ball is similar to the rudiments of bowling on earth, and Luo Ming encouraged the artillerymen to use cannonballs for daily fitness, not only to play with shot put, but also to develop a game of using cannonballs to hit nine wooden pillars placed in the distance.

The most powerful person can throw a cannonball, and all nine wooden pillars will be thrown into the air.

And at this moment, there are more than nine people standing in the way of the shells, and the thrust of the gunpowder that sends out the shells is a hundred times stronger than the hand strength of the artillerymen?

In an instant, ten people were directly blasted away, and many people lost their heads directly, were directly interrupted by the waist, or broke their hands and feet, and the iron ball bounced several times in the pile of people, but was no longer moving forward, but was blocked by dozens of flesh and bones, exhausted kinetic energy, and completely stopped there!

The cannon also frightened many soldiers into falling into the trench behind them, and smashed a ladder by the way.

And in the protrusion of the city wall on the other side, there are also artillery guns that turn their muzzles and spew out deadly projectiles.

The condescending artillery can certainly increase the range, but it is difficult to hit the area under one's feet at a distance, but now there is no problem for two guns to shoot at each other - either cannon can shoot at the foot of the other gun, and the enemy who misses that gun can easily clear out.

The enemy troops caught between the two guns were completely caught in a dangerous net.

A few of the Belan soldiers climbed up the city, some jumped into the trenches, and the rest quickly turned the ladder into a bridge and retreated, only to be blocked by friendly forces rushing from behind.

And the tiger cannon laid on the straight wall in front of them could fire directly at the large platoon of Belans crowded between the trench and the moat with shotguns.

Artillery shotguns do not penetrate enough, and if they penetrate one person, they may not necessarily kill the one behind them, and even if they can penetrate two people, it is impossible to have much power left to penetrate a third person, so one of the powerful ways to deal with artillery shotguns is to keep the column charging quickly, so that most of the shotguns will fly past them.

But when the enemy is lined up, most of the shotguns can hit people - or are caught by the enemy with their bodies, and then naturally there are tragic casualties!
