After blasting the earthen wall, the Schönbrunn Army did not rush in.

The sappers immediately retreated, and the Misen's army in the rear began to advance gradually.

Underneath the earthen tank, there were other soldiers besides the sappers and mages who had participated in the excavation before.

They are all elites selected by Luo Ming, and each of them has a fighting spirit, and even a swordsman participates in it.

They wore a uniform burqa outside, and under the burqa were hidden a set of full-body plate armor made up by Luo Ming, and Luo Ming's priests and mages blessed them with one spell after another at this moment, making them even stronger.

Even the swordsmen had to spend some effort to deal with even the weakest of them, and if they were caught between them, one or two swordsmen would not only not be able to take them, but they might be in danger themselves.

Moreover, they threw a round of grenades into the earthen wall and waited for the grenades to explode before rushing in.

Of course, this round of grenades caused a lot of casualties, and no one wanted to go against the grenades and retreated.

It's not that the grenade is strong, in fact, its lethality is still limited, sometimes a single grenade may not kill a person, only a few can be injured, blacken the faces of a few unlucky ghosts, and ordinary mages can achieve the same effect by rubbing a fireball.

But the advantage of it is that it can be thrown casually, throwing a pile at once, and it seems that there is too much to use up.

Mages have limited mana and don't recover quickly, so it's obviously unwise to play against a mass-produced consumable like a grenade.

Scrolls, gems, or other magic items that have been sealed in advance are far more expensive than grenades, and fighting is also a waste.

Even if some of the Beran soldiers were armed with bows and arrows and seemed to have the advantage of range and were not afraid of grenades, they had to hide in the distance, for fear of being swept up in the explosion.

And the burqa and iron armor can also resist almost all bows and arrows, and only a few powerful archers who can attach fighting spirit to the arrows have the possibility of breaking the defense - that is only a possibility, and even if the defense is broken, there is a high chance that it will only cause flesh wounds.

The elite soldiers poured into the earthen wall while the grenades were still in their hands, and a handful of Belans reacted and quickly shot arrows at them, but they were either bounced off or simply hung on their armor.

Some of them held large shields to further increase their defense, others held spears and halberds, maintaining a three- or four-meter-long attack distance, and a few of them grabbed grenades and wanted to throw them at the back.

Such a small team, with a total of less than forty people, but with a variety of weapons, it seems to be miscellaneous, comprehensive and mediocre.

Generally speaking, yes, at least in the era of cold weapons, it was easier for troops with purer members to train and reach a higher level.

Cram a few sword and shield men, a few spearmen, and a few archers into each squad of sixteen, and it is easy to make a mess, or be able to play the asymmetrical style of guerrilla warfare and ambush warfare.

Even if you want to cooperate with multiple arms, you must at least do it at the level of the squad or even the squadron or above.

But now the commando team is composed of elite members, which is actually like a large team of adventurers, who can use different weapons without interfering with each other, but can complement each other to exert greater strength.

Of course, this is also thanks to the fact that they don't have to act now, just stay here in the passage.

It is relatively easy to stay in place in such a complex formation, and once you take action, it is easy for some people to be fast, some to be slow, the formation is scattered and disjointed, and then you are taken away by the enemy in waves.

As for the enemies they have to face, there are not many.

Even if the people of Belan are forced by the warlords, few of the puppet soldiers dare to really come forward and fight hard, they really can't beat it.

Maybe they can block it if they form a spear phalanx, but throwing grenades into the spear phalanx will kill a lot of people.

And the Beran people also began to lose their lives at this time, and many people cowered, or began to grind foreign workers.

If we can get a temporary peace by fighting hard and driving these Schönbrunn soldiers out, it would be better to do so.

However, the siege ability that the Schönbrunn Army had shown before was so amazing that even if this hole was filled this time, it would not be long before another hole would be blown open.

Taking the risk now doesn't seem to be of much help to the battle situation.

When there is no hope, human courage will naturally fade.

At this time, they should have been restrained by strict military law and strict discipline, even if they knew that they would die for a lifetime, they were forced to go up.

It's like the era of "lining up to shoot" on Earth, where many elite armies can withstand the enemy's bullets and artillery fire, and slowly move towards the enemy. If a man is shot, someone immediately behind him will step over the corpse and instinctively make up the group.

But this Beran army clearly does not have this ability.

Vytautas's most elite small unit may have this ability, but this unit is one of his hole cards, and now that he has seen that the defense line is not an obstacle to the Schönbrunn army, then he will not waste this hole card here.

Thus, the assault team successfully held out for a minute, and they fell seven people, and in front of them there were thirty-eight more corpses.

And within a minute, the soldiers who had come to support had arrived, and the next groups of soldiers streamed in through the gap.

One hundred spearmen, fifty musketeers—they formed a semicircular line of defense on the outside, further leaving the Berans invulnerable, and the flying cavalry artillerymen quickly passed through the gap with three guns, and the artillerymen jumped off their horses and began to deploy their guns.

The people of Beran came to Van Shee County with their thunder carts and ambitions, what caused their mine cars to be destroyed, and their ambitions were poured cold water?

And what made the army completely abandon the original attack plan and withdraw from Vanchyshire, leaving only this partial division as a containment, and building such a large line of defense?

It is probably biased to say that the credit of the artillery is completely wrong, but it is undeniable that the artillery played a major role in it.

The thick earthen walls of this line were able to hold out the shells, and it was only by hiding behind the line that Beran managed to find peace for a while.

And now that the artillery has come to the back of the line, all the protection brought by the line of defense has been completely invalid!

An artilleryman didn't even aim much, so he couldn't wait to fire a cannon - in order to prevent accidental injury to his own people, this cannon was at a high angle, flying three feet above the heads of the soldiers in the front row, and then he didn't know where he went, unless he was lucky, he probably couldn't hit any enemy.

But the sound and light effect of this cannon itself has an extraordinary impact.

For a time, the morale of the people of Belan plummeted!
