On September 23, the Northwest Guardian General, Viscount Misen, Luo Ming, issued an order for an all-out attack.

As his will was conveyed, tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians went into action.

The army quickly assembled on the plains outside the Iron Fire City, and the earthen tanks that had been transported to the front stronghold in advance poured out of the stronghold, and the troops advanced towards the defense line in two directions.

A group of musketeers and flying cavalry artillerymen who followed behind used shotguns to deliver a covering blow to the top of the line, and the Berans were crushed to the point where they could barely lift their heads.

In the past twenty days, the Schönbrunn army had often harassed the Beran army, so that their reserves of bows and arrows were greatly depleted and could not be replenished.

In addition, they now dare not stand on the top of the earthen wall and shoot directly, so they can only blindly throw outward behind the earthen wall, and their accuracy is worse, and their attacks are more scattered.

The rain of arrows is like a gentle drizzle in spring, and pedestrians are not afraid of being wet. Then it will not be able to stop the advance of the earthen tanks at all.

The few flammable bolts could not ignite the water-splashed earthen tank, and burned in vain, while the underlying structure was not even scorched.

Seeing such a situation, the people of Belan were shocked.

Although they did not understand what the advance of the earthen tank was about, they also instinctively knew not to let it get close. The drawbridge was lowered, and a squad of cavalry rushed out from the exit reserved for the defensive line, about to kill the earthen tanks.

However, these exits have long been monitored by special personnel, and there are people waiting for them to come out.

"Stupid horses, they fall with a single shot, and the scorching lead is blocked by flesh and skin!"

Singing a ballad with the lyrics changed, the gunner smiled wickedly and lit the fuse, followed by a deafening roar from the artillery.

Then the musketeers joined the array of volleys, and the total number of cavalry killed by that group was less than two hundred, and at this moment they were defeated by nearly a quarter.

In Schönbrunn's army, a group of cavalry came out of the formation, marching towards that side in a dense battle line, while a group of soldiers also rushed out from under the earthen tank, raising their spears and lining up to block the front.

Seeing that the Beran cavalry would not be able to take the earth tanks for a while, and that they might be outflanked by the opponent's cavalry, and that they would be bombarded, they suddenly had no intention of fighting, and they shot a few arrows casually, and then hurriedly withdrew to the defensive line.

Their leader initially scolded them angrily, wanting them to continue their efforts. But within two seconds, the leader sighed too, gave up his useless efforts, and withdrew together.

As the earth tank approached the wall, the mage who was hiding underneath recited a spell and cast a soil softening spell and a sharp edge, and the sapper quickly swung his spell-blessed shovel and pickaxe and began digging.

"What do they want to do?" Hiding behind the earthen wall, the Berans and the puppet soldiers all looked at each other.

Even with the help of spells, it is not easy to dig through this two-meter-thick earthen wall.

The Berans had already discovered their movements, and would certainly be waiting behind the earthen wall, and if only one or two people could pass through the small holes dug up, only one or two people would pass through at a time, and it would be like going to death to face the hundreds of people who were well prepared over there.

To put it bluntly, if there is only one small hole that one person can pass through, even if Granty, the great swordsman, rushes in, it is likely to be blocked there and unable to advance, and then forced back in embarrassment, and may even be injured.

And if you want to dig a big hole that many people can pass side by side...... The mage will not be able to hold it first, and then the soldiers can only dig slowly, and the amount of soil to be dug is massive, and it is not surprising to dig until the day after tomorrow.

However, just in case, Vytautas still called for someone to prepare two wagons of earth and stones.

Once the Schönbrunn army was about to penetrate the side, the Berans would take the lead in striking down, suddenly knocking down the remnants of the earthen wall, and then launching a surprise attack to kill the enemy troops under the earthen tanks, and then retreat, and immediately fill the hole with the earth and stones on the wagon.

Although Vytautas has the intention of releasing water, he must not let others see it, so he must adopt this kind of countermeasure that a normal person can think of - otherwise it will either show that he is releasing water, or it will show that he has a lower IQ than ordinary people, either of which is not a good choice.

He was now looking at the other side with great anticipation, and couldn't wait to see what novel methods Luo Ming would use to break through this line.

If Luo Ming really can't do it, he will have an extra bargaining chip when negotiating, and if Luo Ming has any good way to break through the defense line, he can at least get a very valuable information about the new siege method, which is also very valuable.

In the Beran army, there were occasional brave men, and among the cannon fodder, there were also guys who were forced to step forward, climbed the earthen wall, and threw down stones and rolling logs at the earthen tanks below.

But on the side of the Schönbrunn Army, the musketeers lined up in a row and stood 60 meters away, and when they saw anyone showing their heads, they would shoot a few shots, and basically several people had to die before they had a chance to smash it once.

And the earthen tank is very sturdy...... There is still hope for a few big stones that can only be held by four or five people, and there is a sound when one or two people can hold the stones to smash them.

Some of the Belans were clever enough to find a barrel of oil and throw it out, and then throw a torch outside.

The diggers under the earth tank were also quick to react, they directly picked up shovels and lifted the sand cover, and the fire was immediately suppressed - and they themselves were covered with wet clothes and masks, so that they could not be hurt by a little fire, and they would not choke on a single smoke of oil.

Next, two strong men came out from under the substitute earthen tanks in the rear, and in retaliation, they threw two grenades at the back of the earthen wall.

After only two explosions, several Belans began to wail, and no one dared to step forward for a while.

Almost an hour later. Vytautas heard two loud noises far superior to cannons and grenades, and even the earth seemed to tremble.

"What's going on?" he looked in the direction of the sound in surprise, the dust kicked up obscured his vision, but at least a dozen unlucky ghosts lying on the ground nearby made him realize that there was probably a massive explosion.

As the dust cleared, the Berans soon discovered that a large hole in the earthen wall had broken open almost five meters wide.

Startled, they managed to get closer—if the Schönbrunn Army broke through, they would all be doomed.

Of course, they also drove many of the local cannon fodder soldiers in Vanshey County to the front.

However, the Schönbrunn Army did not rush in.
