Of course, Luo Ming wants to take the people in, and he is not directly letting go of the defense.

The planks themselves could easily be destroyed, and there was no way for the enemy to get in along here.

And in the rear, Luo Ming's soldiers were also lined up in three rows of guns, even if the cavalry charged, they could block one.

If there are enemy spies who occasionally mix among the civilians, they must not dare to expose it, otherwise even if it is a swordsman, Luo Ming does not have to take action in person, and the dense gun array surrounds it, and it can be done in more than ten seconds.

In the face of the dense forest of guns, Luo Ming thought to himself that if he didn't use the Tianquan Sword Soul, the Cangyan Arson, or the body and sword together, he would die if he didn't escape.

Not to mention the swordsman, even a great swordsman, surrounded by hundreds of well-trained spearmen, will have to pay some price to escape.

On the side, ten heavy arquebuses were also aimed at this side, and whoever had something unusual would simply shoot them.

Arquebuses dissipate heat better than heavy guns, and twenty or thirty rounds will not overheat, and they will basically not be able to hit so many times in a battle.

After that, Luo Ming did not relax his guard, and directly tied all of their hands together, forming a long line, dragging each other, even if there were spies, they couldn't move, first checked by Ariana and Pelodiana, and then sent someone to guard them all the way back to the territory.

Once there, they have to go through a series of screenings, and for the time being, they can only be placed on the periphery of the border, where they cannot reach the classified information, and the militia will supervise the labor.

In fact, even if there are spies, most of them can't survive the testing of the two ladies, let alone the later links.

There are a lot of human bodies that Pelodiana has dissected with her own hands, and she doesn't actually need to touch the muscles, she can tell at a glance whether the other party is a serious civilian or a long-time exerciser.

And Ariana can directly detect whether the other party is a mage or a priest by her keen perception. The combination of these two basically cut off all future troubles.

Of course, it's not impossible if the spy is a civilian without any cultivation, but if there is no cultivation, it is impossible to use spells to transmit information, unless you use special magic items - but a body search can definitely be searched.

There is no spell, a simple ordinary person, even if he is a traitor, it is impossible to pass on the information - don't look at the soldiers in Luo Ming's territory helping to harvest wheat, but in fact, the entire territory has fallen into a state of military control, and anyone who leaves the place where he should be five hundred meters without a certificate will almost be stopped.

Thanks to the development of Luo Ming's paper industry, he can now issue certificates with a large amount of paper, and it is impossible for others to imitate them for the time being.

As for the people, it seems that there is not much resentment at the moment.

In this era, most ordinary people don't have the need to go out a few times in their lives, and the so-called going out is generally only a few kilometers away, and now Luo Ming has nothing to restrain them on the grounds that the enemy army is approaching - they usually hear that there are bandits or rebels nearby, and they themselves will definitely not want to go out.

Luo Ming was accommodating civilians here, and the more serious situations that were expected did not happen - only a spy appeared, and after being discovered, he wanted to resist, but was slapped by Pelodiana and the whole person was thrown two meters away, and then tied up and pulled down for torture.

Some enemy troops wanted to chase civilians and rush into Luo Ming's formation, but a burst of muskets passed, and the few enemy troops who did so were knocked down, and the remaining enemy troops hesitated for a moment, but still did not follow - even if they occasionally injured civilians by mistake, Luo Ming and his men did not have any emotional fluctuations, and they naturally rushed up on a small scale and were only sent to death.

And if the Beran army rushes forward on a large scale, then they themselves will be blocked by those civilians, and will they not be stunned in the middle of the battlefield and shot? Or cut down these civilians, it will be a waste of strength.

Although it is possible to try to drive civilians to storm Lomin's position, Lomin can stop them by simply pulling out a plank.

Of course, the Belan Federation Army would not have watched Luo Ming just take away the civilians, a rain of arrows flew out of their positions, shooting many civilians who were about to flee into Luo Ming's position, and a group of light infantry was ready to attack, ready to charge after the civilians had almost fled.

Just brought so many panicked civilians into the formation, there will definitely be chaos, if you take this opportunity to kill, maybe you can gnaw down the hard bone of the Luo Ming army, and then the rest of the coalition army will naturally collapse like dominoes.

However, Luo Ming had also made such a plan in advance that the enemy would drive civilians to fill the ravine, and it was basically implemented in an orderly manner at this time, and there was no opportunity for the enemy to take advantage of it.

In other words, if you are fighting on open and flat ground, there will still be flaws, but the flaws are smaller than those of ordinary armies.

But now there are fortifications in front of him, which increases the tolerance rate, and this flaw is not enough for the other party to catch.

After a rough count, this wave has saved more than 280 people, and it is estimated that there are still hundreds of civilians in the Belan army who are forced to work as civilian men and coolies, but now the Belan army will definitely not send them to Luo Ming again.

Although Luo Ming now has nearly 20,000 people under his command, many of them are not reliable enough, or do not know how to farm, these more than 280 people should be serious Principality civilians or prisoners of war, most of them can farm, it is not without help for Luo Ming.

Although the nobles praised him for helping the coalition to withstand the first wave of enemy attacks, and hoped that he would be able to lead the coalition army to block for a long time, so that the enemy army would be bruised, Luo Ming himself was not so naïve.

His perspective had already seen further afield—about what would happen to Beran's army after it had invaded Vanshei.

It's not that he's weak or he's a capitulationist, it's that the battle can't be fought.

Don't look at the fight just now, Luo Ming estimated that there were only two or three hundred Belan soldiers who were really killed.

The creek, the mud swamp on the bank, and the wooden fortifications were basically filled in and destroyed by the enemy, and although they were now temporarily repaired and put on the ground a little more wooden fortifications, they were far inferior to the previous ones, and I am afraid that they would not last long before they would be cut to pieces again.

And the next to attack this side were large groups of light infantry, or infantry in light armor.

As for the miscellaneous soldiers who did not wear armor, Luo Ming had not seen any of them, and the invasion of the Belans had probably been planned for a long time, and it would not be enough to pull out this kind of poor soldier and be embarrassed.

Although they are said to be light infantry, the lethality of the weapons in their hands is not much worse, and there is another advantage, that is, the burden on their bodies is light, the speed is also faster, and the skills are more flexible!

Some even relied on this benefit, and rushed over in groups of several people carrying wooden planks, ladders or dirt bags!
