Although no conical shells were used, the round shells were combined with the rifled guns, and good results were also achieved.

With one shot, it hit the carriage at a distance of more than three hundred and fifty meters, and smashed it directly.

Luo Ming had also tried firing rifled guns before, but this time there was such a good target for people to shoot, which made him feel very comfortable.

Although ordinary smoothbore guns are good enough to outperform trebuchets in range, with more accurate and reliable rifled guns, it is still more reassuring.

However, the loading of rifled guns is still a little troublesome, even if Luo Ming comes in person, the rate of fire can only reach the level of one and a half minutes of one shot, counting aiming, it is not strange to spend two minutes, this is a fly in the ointment.

Luo Ming thought of an improvement plan, but for the time being, he couldn't use the only rifled gun he had on hand to try to modify it...... Maybe you can try a small cannon first? he made a secret note of the idea.

Look at the Beran people, they are like mourners.

Originally, most people had seen the power of the thunder cart, and they thought that as soon as the thunder cart came out, the city fortress could be broken in an instant, or the defenders were so frightened that they surrendered immediately.

Even those who are a little more cautious are just preparing for Luo Ming to lead the army to surprise out and destroy the thunder car, or they are mentally prepared for the strong city walls, the tenacious defenders, and the ability to hold for a while longer.

At the beginning, Luo Ming brought only one mountain howitzer when he was in the coalition army, and the rest were light artillery, so they naturally had a great misunderstanding and contempt.

But now there were nine mountain howitzers and rifled guns on top of the city, and in addition to that, sixteen light guns were also involved in the firing.

Although at a distance of 350 meters, their accuracy is relatively poor, and their power is greatly attenuated, but if they hit the wooden structure, they can also cause a lot of damage, and if they hit people, they can directly penetrate it.

In the face of so many shells, it is good to treat people at a distance of 350 meters, and it is absolutely impossible to let go of the thunder cart, or it will not be long before it will become a mess of wood.

Most of the lower-level soldiers in Belan were still confused and unwilling, but the higher-level quickly reacted that something was wrong and hurriedly gathered for a small meeting.

When the Ben Mine was dragged to a distance of four hundred and fifty meters, Luo Ming stopped firing, which shows that at such a distance, those weapons that shoot iron balls either have insufficient range or are too poor in accuracy, in short, they should not pose much of a threat.

But this distance, for the Thunder Cart, is also a bit of a force, from this distance, it can only throw a very light small stone projectile, hit it has no great power, and the fire of too light stone projectile will quickly reduce its life.

There are only five Ben Thunder Carts left in the hands of the Beran people, and if they consume their life at such a fast speed, then they may not be able to defeat Iron Fire City when they run out.

But if you push the distance without cover, you will be shelled again, and you will also be damaged quickly.

Then the key is to mask.

For example, the defender of the city is condescending, and the bow and arrow always have a range advantage, causing damage outside the effective range of the besieging side.

In the past, when the Berans were attacking the city, they would build some shield carts, so that the archers would shrink under the shield carts and approach the walls, and then start shooting at them after they entered their effective range.

The same goes for the Ben Thunder Car, although it is impossible to create a Big Mac shield car that completely obscures it, but it is okay to replace the shield car with some other methods.

The function of the shield cart is nothing more than to block the enemy's line of sight and fend off the enemy's ranged attacks.

Then it's as simple as making up for these two!

Soon, some soldiers piled up in front of them with branches and firewood, and gradually piled up a large area, poured some water, and then lit a fire and began to burn.

Suddenly, thick smoke rose, and although it was very choking, it did have the effect of obscuring the vision.

Immediately afterwards, many soldiers and civilians rushed forward, hiding behind the smoke and began to dig in the dirt.

In a choking environment, a person can only work for an average of three minutes before he can stand it, and he has to be replaced—but there are quite a few Belan people, so they rotate like this, and they just persevere.

"Please let me find out!" one of the knights asked.

"Do you want to blow a gust of wind with a spell, just blow it away for a few seconds and you'll be enough to aim, right?" Perodiana suggested.

Luo Ming glanced at the two of them approvingly, but did not agree with these behaviors: "Don't panic, this is also what I expected, I have a way to deal with it." ”

Of course, this is actually a bit unexpected, but it can still be handled, as for the difference in what is said, it is because it is always necessary to give more confidence to the people below.

Soon, the telelink towers built at the top of both sides of the pass began to report back the message - from that angle they could see the side and back of the Belans, and the smoke could not block their view.

Not only did they quickly report back the story of the Beran people digging a pit and piling up soil, but they also pointed out the location of the construction site by the way.

Although they didn't have any advanced surveying and mapping equipment, Luo Ming had already made a lot of markings and put a lot of reference materials in this vicinity, and in fact formed a coordinate system, and they just had to convey the approximate coordinates back.

Luo Ming smiled maliciously, then reported the coordinates, and the guns began to adjust their firing angles, and then sprayed fire and metal again.

After the first shot, Luo Ming slowed down for a while, and waited for the telelink tower to report back the deviation of the shell's landing point before ordering the second gun to fire.

In the beginning, this kind of random shooting, which was completely based on the data reported by others, was really inefficient, and basically it was only scary.

However, relying on the rapid transmission of the telecommunication tower to calibrate the firing, the error of the artillery was quickly reduced.

During the third round of firing, there were already shells flying past the construction site, scratching a civilian.

In the fourth round of fire, a shell hit the upper part of the mound, scattering large chunks of dirt in all directions, and the next round of bombardment of the mound was also increasing.

Someone bent down and dug a shovel of dirt, and when he raised his head, he turned into a headless horseman.

As soon as someone piled a basket of earth on the mound, less than a meter away from him, the mound exploded into a large hole, and three baskets of soil flew directly away, and the splashed clods and rubble also hit him all over his body.

Someone felt too much sweat on his head and reached out to wipe it, only to find that his hands were red with blood, and there was a piece of bleeding flesh on top of his head.

"No way!

The soldiers scattered, even if the officer tried to stop it, it was useless, and even one officer had to reach out to stop it, but he was directly pushed to the ground, and then several soldiers stepped on him, and by the time he was discovered, he had already breathed more and less air.

It's hard enough to work in the smoke, and now they can die at any time, and the death is so miserable that their psychological endurance is shattered at once.
