Initially, Beran's mages were still figuring out ways to cast spell blessings on their soldiers or use offensive spells against the death squads.

It also made Luo Ming find an opportunity, and activated the artillery and shot it in one go.

But after two rounds of shelling, a mage finally reacted, cast a spell, and smashed towards the gun position.

This time, a civil bunker was completely blown up, a light gun cracked, and the artillery was also knocked down, and he was quickly carried to the rear for healing.

"Give up the artillery, and the artillery will retreat immediately!" Luo Ming immediately shouted, and the artillerymen quickly did so, abandoning the artillery, a small number of shells, and gunpowder on the front-line positions.

If the cannon is gone, Luo Ming can still be rebuilt, but qualified artillery is not so easy to build - it takes a long time and consumes a lot of gunpowder to train a skilled artilleryman.

And it's not really about throwing away the artillery and leaving it alone, it's just a matter of letting the artillery retreat to a safer place in the rear empty-handed first.

Next, some auxiliaries and civilians rushed forward under Luo Ming's orders to urgently move the artillery and ammunition to the rear.

Some people were hit by spells and fell, but Luo Ming didn't blink his eyelids, and continued to send a team of people up, and by the way, he just carried the wounded down together.

Even cracked and damaged artillery had to be removed and placed in a safe place in the rear.

In the process, six auxiliaries and minfu also fell, and they were affected by the spell, and only three survived.

However, it was normal that neither the auxiliaries nor the people were brought by Luo Ming, but were lent to him by the earl.

Even if Luo Ming brought it himself, he had to say that on the battlefield, artillery and artillery were more important than auxiliaries and people, and when some people had to be sacrificed, any qualified general should know to abandon the pawn and protect the car.

Not even cracked artillery or gunpowder could be left for the enemy - otherwise there would be a gap in the technical blockade that Luo Ming had painstakingly created. And even with the help of broken artillery, the other side can guess a lot of data.

War is fought not only in terms of troops, resources, and technology, but also in the exchange of information. The advantage of information asymmetry can sometimes be better than that of thousands of troops.

The coalition forces were able to hold back Beran's army for a long time by relying on their meager forces, and there was an element of information superiority.

Through Aya, Luo Ming has a certain understanding of the military system and tactics of the Belan people, and on the contrary, although the Belan people have made some preparations and investigations in advance, their understanding of Luo Ming is still limited, not to mention that he has also come up with some new tactics and weapons.

They didn't expect that the coalition forces would take the initiative to attack, find a suitable battlefield in advance, and then turn ordinary field battles into fortified defensive battles.

For example, if the other side captures even one of the damaged guns, it can at least infer from the weight of the cannon the men and livestock that Luo Ming needed to carry it, calculate how much extra food these people will eat, and then speculate about Luo Ming's logistics......

This may be an exaggeration, but that's the way it is.

Although Luo Ming's artillery fire was forced to be interrupted, and even damaged, this wave really did not lose.

The death squads were withdrawn, and Lo Ming roughly counted that there were about 65% of the remaining numbers.

The effect of Potion 3 has not completely subsided, and their combat effectiveness can probably be maintained for more than half an hour, during which time they will be able to withstand if the enemy launches another round of attacks.

After half an hour, it will be dark, and it is generally not suitable for further combat.

As Luo Ming expected, or perhaps the Beran army was more cautious than he thought, he simply gave up the last half hour, no longer attacked, but began to form a team, cleaned up the battlefield on the other side of the river a little, and then began to retreat.

It wasn't until they gradually retreated that Luo Ming finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then began to make retreat arrangements while sending scout cavalry to stay vigilant.

The coalition carried three times its own Beran army for a whole day, which was a remarkable result, but it also made the coalition play its hole cards and not have much strength left to continue fighting.

On this night, the tired soldiers were destined to not be able to rebuild the fortifications, otherwise even if they were repaired, they would lie down tired the next day, unable to resist the onslaught of the enemy.

Therefore, it is necessary to retreat, and it is necessary to prepare for retreat in advance.

The seriously wounded who did not move quickly, the damaged artillery, some of the baggage, and the daredevils who were gradually weakening and beginning to fatigue and weaken the drug were all sent back to the rear in advance.

Among the baggage, there were also a lot of captures - the Belan army only cleaned the battlefield on the other side of the river, but did not clean this side of the river, and Luo Ming immediately mobilized men to clean the battlefield.

The corpse was left there as it was, except for the metal and the dry food it was carrying.

The dry food recovered was enough to feed hundreds of people for a day, and almost 700 kilograms of iron and 60 kilograms of copper were recovered, in addition to the projectiles embedded in the corpses were also dug up as much as possible, and a whole sack was recovered—for this purpose, Luo Ming also specially provided his soldiers with a lot of small pliers specially used to dig wounds.

After all, he seemed to be wealthy among the nobles of Van Shee County, but in fact he was just a nouveau riche, lacking sufficient accumulation, and resources were still in a state of scarcity, so that many attractive projects had to be put on hold for the time being.

The recovered metals could be used to build the cuirasses of nearly a hundred people, some muskets, a cannon, and a dozen shells.

In addition, there are even three warhorses that have lost their owners who have run here for some reason.

Although the coalition army lost a lot of people overall, the Meiquan soldiers brought by Luo Ming only suffered 34 casualties, of which about 16 were able to return to the battlefield after treatment, and the real loss was only 18 people.

Other nobles were also envious of his income from cleaning the battlefield, but only Meiquan's soldiers had been trained intensively before, and they still had the energy to touch the corpses after a day's fighting.

Although some of the elite soldiers of other nobles have the same good physical strength, those elite soldiers include some noble concubines, rich peasants, and small landlords, who are a little unable to pull their faces to touch the corpses, and they cannot form a scale, and they are completely incomparable.

Fighting a defensive war and still making money is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and it may never be encountered again.

In the next battle, it was basically a loss, and it was to use Meiquan's lives and military supplies to fight with the Belan army.

In the event of a war, the domestic trade routes were basically cut off, which in turn would shrink the commercial income of Schönbrunn by more than half!
