Chapter 513: Impact

Next, two more rounds of artillery fire, and while the smoke of gunfire was in the air, Luo Ming quickly ordered the artillerymen to retreat to the second line of defense with artillery, and the heavy arquebuses also retreated.

The second line of defense was only twenty-five meters away from the first line and was designed to be used as a retreat from the beginning.

As soon as the artillery and artillery withdrew from the battle and hidden, they saw several powerful spells flying and landing on an empty bunker.

Just like modern warfare on Earth, artillery not only bombards enemy cavalry and infantry, but also enemy artillery, and at the same time avoids being discovered by enemy artillery first, and does not just stay in place and fire.

There are more spellcasters in this plane, and the same is true.

The bunker of the civil structure finally reached its limit, and it collapsed with a miserable creak.

The flying debris and aftermath also wounded several of Lomin's infantry, but they were well-disciplined and did not fall into much confusion.

The two soldiers raised their shields and covered the role of Pelodiana and her apprentices to bring the wounded soldier down for treatment - first injecting him with a sedative, then removing the foreign body from the wound, cleaning and disinfecting it, and then stitching the wound back together.

The needles are bent by hand by jewelers from thin pieces of silver, and while silver is not cheap, it doesn't take much to make a few needles — and they can also be reused.

In short, the injured person will be rescued as soon as possible, and the sedative will prevent the injured person from screaming all the time, which is very helpful for morale.

Although the artillery has temporarily withdrawn from the battlefield, it has to be said that it not only caused considerable damage, but also had a different impact on the morale of both sides.

Although the coalition forces were tired, they could barely cheer up, and the Belan army was demoralized, and after attacking for a while without being able to completely break through the first line of defense, they were finally urged to retreat, and then replaced by a new team of new troops to kill.

"A lot of people is the one who can do whatever they want......" Putting down the binoculars, Luo Ming couldn't help but sigh.

He could see that there were already many puffs of smoke wafting out of the main formation of the Belan army, and those exhausted soldiers had already begun to eat lunch.

On the coalition side, it would be nice to have a few minutes of respite, and it would be a heavy test to wait for the new force replaced by the enemy to kill.

After all, the morale that is temporarily boosted is a tree without roots and water without a source. If you don't have time to eat lunch, your physical strength will inevitably decline further, and your spirit will not be able to overcome your physical instincts after all.

Fortunately, Luo Ming asked someone to cook some meat porridge, which happened to be cold at the moment and could be drunk in large gulps, so he quickly ordered someone to distribute the meat porridge to the entire coalition army - by the way, both the grain and meat used to cook the porridge were produced by the earl.

In Luo Ming's plan, the coalition forces were to delay until dusk or even late afternoon and then retreat, but now looking at this stance, it would be nice to be able to delay it for another two hours.

However, he still has a few last moves, and if he finds the right time to use them, he should be able to extend this time a little bit.

Luo Ming looked all over the front and saw that a small part of the reserves had not yet joined the battle, and he immediately sent someone to tell the Count that it was time for the reserves to be on top.

"Reserves, wait, it's ......," the Count and his advisors muttered, deciding to believe in Rollin—and at the same time the fruits of the labor of the people who believed in the Coalition.

At the same time, three consecutive green rays of light shot straight into the sky, and then exploded into a large area of green light.

"Tsk, I originally wanted to order a gift flower to celebrate the harvest, but I didn't expect to use it at this time. Luo Ming looked at the fireworks that rose into the sky and smiled.

To be honest, the light of the ceremonial flowers is not too big in the afternoon sun, but three ceremonial flowers in a row, normal people can still pay attention to them, and he also specially sent someone to notify the other side, which can play a second insurance role.

It didn't take long for a loud sound of water to be heard from upstream!

"That doesn't sound right...... Mage, look upstream—" One of the Beran officers shouted, but it was clearly too late to look back.

A torrent rushed from upstream, this torrent didn't seem too huge, the water level could only reach a person's waist, but so much water suddenly rushed in, and its momentum was definitely enough to knock people over!

Moreover, there are many wooden blocks and stones mixed in the torrent, and under the impetus of the current, it is almost no less than the rolling wood and stones smashed on the city wall. If you are hit, although you may not die, it is definitely an internal injury caused by broken bones and tendons and even vomiting blood.

It turned out that Luo Ming initially surveyed the terrain and immediately decided to send people to build a dam on the upstream barrage, and the nearby forest resources were sufficient, so he cut down many trees in one go and reinforced, and reinforced them with earth and stones and hemp rope.

Such a dam could not completely cut off the creek, but it was enough to store a lot of water, and when Lockin gave the order, the soldiers guarding there lit the powder packets placed in a few weak points on the dam, and blew the dam open, and the water naturally carried the wood and earth and stones downstream.

The corpses and bags of earth that had been filled into the creek were washed away by the sudden flow of water, and many of the Belan soldiers who were crossing the river were also washed down or even washed away, screaming and calling for help.

The part of the Beran soldiers who crossed the river also panicked, and at this moment, Luo Ming ordered the soldiers to push the gunpowder out of the hidden place and bombard it with shotguns, and at the same time, he raised his long sword, shouted, and led his soldiers to rush out of the line and launch a counter-charge.

Encouraged by him, the energetic reserves that had just been replaced also rushed out of the defensive line.

The back road of the hundreds of Belan troops on the shore was temporarily cut off by the current, and they ate another round of shotguns, and when they were at a loss, they saw that the enemy army had actually killed them, and they were both apprehensive and happy.

If the enemy rushes out, it will naturally be impossible for the shotgun to be fired again, and if we compete in close combat, can we still lose to you stragglers?

However, this naïve idea was immediately shattered by Luo Ming's ruthlessness.

Originally, it was not obvious to stay in the trenches, but now that Luo Ming's soldiers have been killed, it can be seen that it is extraordinary.

They actually maintained a spear formation, trotting forward, and the whole team was barely scattered!

A small number of Beran soldiers brought bows and arrows and shot at Luo Ming's army, but the spearmen wore iron hats, and the front row also had steel cuirasses to resist direct fire, and other than that, their whole bodies were basically covered with paper armor and burqas, and few of the arrows shot in a hurry could break through the defense!

A part of the Beran soldiers subconsciously gathered to huddle, but Lomin only sneered, and then threw two grenades tied together.

His arm strength was far beyond that of an ordinary grenadier, and two grenades fell into the pile of people across a distance of thirty meters, directly knocking down a dozen people!
