The Berans finally admitted that today's siege was also facing a complete failure, and they remained vigilant, and gradually withdrew to the camp, preparing in advance for tomorrow's siege strategy - perhaps to build more shield carts and earthen carts.

It may also be that when more cannon fodder is sent from the rear, maybe those wall-grass nobles have not seen the change in form, and are still ready to take credit for the Belans as puppet soldiers.

And at the head of the city, Ariana and Pelodiana all gathered around Granty, looking at this and that, and occasionally reaching out to poke and touch it, so that she showed a look of help.

But Luo Ming pretended not to see it, after all, a physical examination was a must.

Completely breaking through the Flame Vortex this time was actually a bit more than he expected—he thought he could only neutralize most of the power of the Flame Vortex.

After that, he would push Grant out of the way and use his body to fend off the aftermath.

Of course, whoever resists the aftermath will definitely suffer a lot of injuries, but Login is much more familiar with treating himself than he is with Granty, and he is less prone to accidents.

However, the truth turned out to be much better than he expected, and Granty's sword light was more condensed than usual at that moment.

Originally, the way he had planned was to use a high-pressure water column to flush and consume the fire, but now it turned into a huge ice pick to pierce the fire, directly approaching the core of the flame vortex, so that Luo Ming saw the opportunity to send a cloud of cangyan, disintegrating the spell structure from the inside, causing it to get out of control and explode in midair.

If it was a bomb, Luo Ming would not dare to let it explode in mid-air, and the fragments of the bomb would only scatter wider in mid-air, causing more damage.

But this flame vortex is only condensed by spells, consuming mana to generate heat, without a metal shell, and when it bursts, there is only hot air.

More than a dozen of his soldiers were slightly burned, but this small wound was left to Pelodiana to instruct them to heal themselves.

And Lormine and Granty and others were even more unscathed.

Luo Ming already had some vague speculation, and soon, Ariana issued an oral report.

"Congratulations, Miss Grant has found the key to the lock that leads to the Great Swordsman. Of course, it takes some skill to pick the lock, and the door is heavy enough to push open. But in any case, it's just three steps to unlock the lock, push the door and walk in, and it takes a little time at most. ”

Seeing that Grant was still a little stunned, Ariana added: "To be honest, I'm a little jealous...... However, it is really a blessing for us to have such a breakthrough at this moment. Blessed by the goddess of cleanliness. ”

"Ahh I didn't expect that I was the first step. Grant laughed, "Maybe it's a change in mood." ”

"Epiphany, does it still have this effect?" Luo Ming asked curiously.

"Not really, if you have to say something, you have figured it out. I used to fool myself a little bit, and as a result, I couldn't see anything I could see, and I didn't notice until today. ”

Granty didn't say what it was, but Lormine was more concerned about her situation than asking for it.

After asking her about her physical condition again and confirming that there was no problem, Luo Ming put his mind at ease and then began to deal with the rest of the affairs.

At that time, in order to prevent an explosion, Luo Ming sent an order to the nearby soldiers to throw the gunpowder directly outside the wall.

Under normal circumstances, black powder will not explode if bumped into it, not to mention that it is basically wrapped in a paper medicine bag with a certain buffer.

But now that the weather is hot, and throwing it like this, it is inevitable that there will be no cases such as the paper bag breaking and leaking, for the sake of safety, Luo Ming directly asked the people of the Jiaertai mercenary group to be responsible for cleaning up, and let the soldiers of Meiquan supervise it.

At the same time, Schönbrunn soldiers were armed with extra-long spears and mended the corpses and half-dead in the vicinity.

As for the few who were only injured and lost the ability to escape, and it seemed that they were still saved, they were lucky enough to be rescued. However, what awaits them is definitely not humanitarian aid.

According to Luo Ming's words, all the people under me have not yet entered the standard of food and clothing, and it is already very merciful for you to waste rations and directly execute them and then feed them to the dogs.

Of course, this is the case in the wars of these years, except for one of the wounded Belan who scolded and had stinky socks stuffed in his mouth, the rest all seemed very grateful to Dade, if it wasn't for the inconvenience of being injured, maybe they would simply start kowtowing.

In order to survive, they have given up what little glory they have been as Beran warriors, and they have poured out their information in a gossiping manner.

Of course, this is also due to the excellent record of Luo Ming's side for a whole day - in the eyes of these wounded soldiers, even if Luo Ming's iron fire city is not impregnable, at least the possibility of this Belan army capturing it is not so great, let alone to rescue themselves.

Then, it is normal to cooperate with Luo Ming in exchange for a chance to survive.

Of course, the information they could know was not much, but Luo Ming still peeled back the cocoon and got a key piece of information.

"The army of Beran, with a group of leading party, is besieging the castle of the Earl of Conler Hill...... This is probably for them to make a name, right?" Luo Ming couldn't help but hiss, "In this way, they don't have to ride on the wall, they have to make a choice, and one way to go to the dark." ”

Originally, Luo Ming also hoped that his side would defeat the Belans under the city, and then encourage the nobles of the whole county to rise up and resist, but now that they have handed in their petitions, it will be difficult to do so.

"The Count's castle is stronger, but how long can he hold it in front of the Thunder Car, he doesn't have artillery......"

Perhaps in a day or two, the Count will be forced to surrender or be completely defeated, and then the other half of Beran's army and the large number of leading party who have surrendered will be slaughtered.

That way, the pressure multiplies.

Luo Ming thought for a moment and decided to start his counterattack plan in advance.

When Luo Ming practiced martial arts, he knew the truth that if he defended for a long time, he came to this world to become a lord, and gradually learned that defending the city cannot only be defended, otherwise it will become a dead guard if he is not careful.

Most professionals defend the city and will never block all the gates. While it seems to make it a little easier to breach without blocking the gates, as long as there are a few gates available, the defenders have the unique advantage of being able to fight through any gate at any time, and then take the siegers by surprise.

Luo Ming had already designed a series of counterattack plans for this defensive battle, and originally planned to use them when the Belan army attacked the city for a few more days and became more tired, but now it was considered ripe.
