Four Tiger squat guns and two light guns fired cross-fire left and right, further increasing the striking area of the shotguns, and almost knocked down a hundred people.

And because of this panic, many more panicked and fell into trenches and moats, and some were even pushed down by their companions.

And the very few Belans who tried to climb the city wall through the ladder also met a tragic fate.

Although Luo Ming's city wall is a little low, the defenders still have a condescending advantage, and they can cause damage by waving cold weapons in their hands, while those who climb the wall can only be beaten, even if they are not killed on the spot, they will fall into the trench and fall directly to their deaths, so almost no one can rush to the city wall alive.

In the end, two people did reach the city alive and unscathed—but these two men simply threw away their weapons and surrendered.

And as soon as they got on the city wall, they were directly stripped naked and tied up, and Pelodiana directly pricked them to make them faint, and they were to be interrogated later.

In short, even if this wave of infantry offensive was completely disintegrated, most of the people who were still alive showed their backs, dropped the ladders, and even threw away their weapons because they thought they were slowing down, and fled backwards one after another.

Of course, the officers and the Overseers tried to stop it, but in the face of this tide of escape, their blocking only played an obstructive role for more than ten seconds, and it was overturned and flattened.

And in these ten seconds, there were dozens of casualties under the muskets, and then the small-caliber artillery opened fire again, and ploughed the bloody mud in the crowd, like a new land after a cow ploughed it.

Looking at this scene, Luo Ming was a little surprised.

Of course, he knew that he had spent a lot of time drawing with rulers and rulers, and with Aya's help to improve it, the city defense system he designed was very strong, and there were no dead ends when shooting, but he didn't expect it to be so strong.

But when you think about it, it's a matter of course.

Ordinary infantry may suddenly collapse in the face of a heavy cavalry charge, and even start fleeing before they actually collide with the heavy cavalry, and at such a close distance, the deterrent power of artillery is probably stronger than that of heavy cavalry.

The heavy cavalry still has the possibility of being repelled by the spear phalanx, and ordinary infantry may be able to cause damage to the opponent if they fight desperately, and they can try to dodge the cavalry's attack no matter how bad it is, but these will not work at all against artillery, and its speed is impossible for ordinary soldiers to dodge or block, so they can only resign themselves to fate.

Next, the artillery at the head of the city began to pause firing, and the artillerymen began to clean the chambers and scrub them with damp cloths to cool down.

Ordinary city defense battles are prone to water shortage, and they can't be so extravagant, but there is too much water in Luo Ming to use up, that is because there are two large lakes in Kalo Mountain, and the river that flows down through Luo Ming is just through the city, not only is there no shortage of water, but even the fleet can directly drive into the city to transport supplies or carry the soldiers in the city down the river to attack.

A small number of wounded soldiers also went down on their own or were helped or carried down, and received proper treatment, and the substitute soldiers immediately followed, and after this round, almost thirty soldiers were replaced, most of whom were still alive and their injuries could be cured.

Even if Luo Ming's city were completely undermined by the enemy, and if it had to defend the entire city wall, there would only be more than 2,000 people standing on the city wall in total - this was actually close to the maximum capacity.

Now it is basically only a frontal attack, there are only 1,200 people on the front wall, and there are enough troops to replace it below, so there is no panic at all.

Soon, the soldiers also roughly counted the number of corpses under the city and reported the results.

"Originally, there were twenty-eight horse corpses and thirty-five corpses, but now it is one hundred and ninety-three, which means that at least one hundred and fifty......-eight people died in this wave," Luo Ming couldn't help but laugh.

So far, the number of soldiers under his command who have truly lost their combat effectiveness or died on the spot has not reached double digits, and if the Berans continue to fight him like this, every extra second is equivalent to a big loss of one second.

If it was to fight like this for a few days and nights, it would certainly tire Luo Ming's soldiers out of stupidity, but it would almost be able to stain the entire field red with the blood of the Berans.

However, the people of Belan shouldn't be that stupid, right?

Although the defenders of the city generally have an advantage, the battle damage ratio is unexpected, Luo Ming himself was a little surprised, and the people of Belan were naturally taken aback.

"What the hell is this wound!"

The medic was ordered to inspect the wounded soldiers who had escaped by chance, and shivered at the wounds on their bodies from the musket shotguns.

A single shotgun is only about five millimeters in diameter, about the same thickness as disposable chopsticks on Earth, but it can penetrate deep into the flesh of lightly armored and unarmored soldiers, and sometimes even penetrate into bones.

And some of the shots are lead shots, some are stones, the lead shots will be deformed, the stones themselves are irregular, and they are more likely to shatter after being hit, and the wound will basically not be as simple as a straight line, but there will be small cavities, which are lacerations.

If the shotgun hits the chest and abdomen, there is a great chance of injuring the internal organs, and ordinary doctors have no ability to treat them, so they can only bet on the extremely low probability of surviving their self-healing.

Healing spells can be saved, but spells are precious, and it is impossible to use them to treat the big soldiers on a large scale.

And if you are hit in the face, even if you don't die on the spot, you are not far from death, and spells may not be able to save you.

Even if it is just a limb, it will take many days to recuperate, and at worst it will require amputation - the mortality rate of amputation in these years is simply higher than that of going to war.

All in all, according to the statistics of the Beran people, there were a total of one hundred and sixty-five soldiers who did not return to the Beran military formation, but there were another forty or fifty people who were incapacitated, and it would take two or three weeks to recover if they did not die.

"Report! The mage regiment says they've already consumed more than half of their mana!" a soldier reported.

Now, Zagmer received another piece of bad news.

Although he had previously ordered the soldiers to start building earthen walls in multiple places at the same time in an attempt to disperse Luo Ming's firepower, Luo Ming was still very careful to just separate two guns to bombard other construction sites, and the remaining large-caliber guns still took turns to throw the shields of the mage regiment under the premise of not getting too hot, so that the consumption was still very fast.

The mage group still has nearly half of its mana left, and theoretically it can last for nearly an hour, which seems to be good news, but it is not.

As a mobile force, the mage regiment has to deal with all kinds of emergencies, and it is impossible to exhaust mana in this matter alone.

And if you completely deplete your mana, you will be slow to recover.

If something happens suddenly, and the mage group runs out of mana and can only stare dryly, it will be terrible.

Zagmer glared at Ironfire hatefully, and then gave the order to temporarily suspend this round of siege and wait for the afternoon to continue.
