At this time, the Duke of Seleto in the main city was waiting for the feedback of the elves. Of course, the people of the elf clan before were sent by him, and at present, the situation should be said to be not bad, after all, it is now, and the other party is not ready to attack the city.

Yes, Ye Junwen's troops are still in the camp more than ten miles away, if they want to start attacking the city, of course they won't be in that place, the troops have already come over and surrounded the main city. Duke Seleto also understands military affairs, so he knows that this morning must be a very good time to start attacking the city, and if the other party's soldiers haven't come over yet, it means that the elven messenger he sent out before has played a role.

Serina ...... Sure enough, it's still too tender. "Duke Seleto is a little happy, now it seems that although this man named Serina is very outstanding in military ability, he is still very tender in political matters. The conditions provided by Duke Seleto are very simple, don't you support some empress, and this empress is his daughter, so Duke Seleto said that I will make her the heir.

Of course, this kind of talk is the same as fart, anyone will write a blank check, as long as he can stabilize it now, there will be a chance to kill these troublesome people in the future. Ye Junwen was very powerful in the war, and Duke Seleto also panicked him, but after putting down his weapon, Duke Seleto had many ways to deal with him.

However, just when the Duke of Seleto was secretly happy, he suddenly heard a few "boom" sounds from the city, the sound was very loud, although he knew that it was a little far away from him, but it was already a big move to this side.

"What's going on?" The Duke of Seletto immediately went to the window and looked in the direction of the sound, and then he saw that there seemed to be several places in the city that were smoking, and it felt as if there had been an explosion or a fire.

"What's going on, go check it out." Duke Seleto immediately said to the soldiers next to him.

"Yes." The soldier next to him also nodded immediately.

At present, although the city has entered a state of alert, but the enemy is still more than ten miles away, so no one would think that this is an attack launched by the enemy, most of the soldiers also heard the sound of explosions, but they just think that there was an accident in the city or something, or that the enemy's spies are sabotaging in the city, in short, no one notices that the threat is falling from the sky.

Of course, this round of shooting had no effect at all, Ye Junwen's goal was to break the city wall or city gate, but not a single shell fell on the city wall in this round, basically all of them fell into the city, and one shot even hit outside the city. Of course, I don't expect them to be able to hit with one shot, if the artillery is so easy to practice, then the war is really too simple. What's more, these soldiers are also in contact with artillery for the first time, but fortunately, Ye Junwen still has a lot of ammunition, let them try it casually, just practice.

On the hill more than ten miles away, the scouts of the artillery battalion also used binoculars to judge the landing point, since they were all engaged in artillery, of course, Ye Junwen also prepared such things as telescopes, and no guns were equipped with rangefinders to help with side alignment. The first round is just a test shot, and the second round will slowly approach the target point.

Soon after a slight adjustment, the second round of shelling began, and after a burst of fires, several more fires rose in the distance, and this time, a shell had already landed on the wall.

"Hit!" The gunner who hit the target couldn't help but shout, "I'm the first, I'm the first." ”

"Good." Ye Junwen's voice suddenly came from the side, everyone turned their heads and found that Ye Junwen was next to them, they didn't see it just now, and now they hurriedly saluted.

"It's okay, I'll just come over to see the situation, you continue to fight." Ye Junwen said, "The position of the battalion commander of the artillery battalion is still vacant......

This is the temptation of Chi Guoguo, it is obvious who can win the greatest military merit in this battle, and the position of this battalion commander is his, of course, these artillerymen also hurriedly and seriously aimed.

Ye Junwen came here, of course, to see the situation of the shelling, but after looking at the results of the shelling, he was not very satisfied. Yes, it was a hit, but the city wall didn't seem to have been damaged too much, and the wall of the main city was indeed a little too strong, and it looked like the wall was about thirty meters high and could not be torn down under ordinary circumstances. Ye Junwen had already used the cannon to bombard, but unfortunately the caliber was still not big enough, and it seemed to be tickling when hit.

However, the effect is very small does not mean that there is no effect, and if you bombard indiscriminately for a few rounds, it should be somewhat useful. Ye Junwen is more optimistic about the city gate, because the city gate should not be as strong as the city wall, and it should be able to collapse if a few cannons go down, but unfortunately the city gate is really difficult to aim, so it can only depend on the learning ability of these artillerymen.

"Continue the shelling, aiming in the direction of the city gates." Ye Junwen said.

"Yes, Marshal." The soldiers nodded excitedly.

Due to the relatively small number of cannons, the intermittent sound of cannons did not sound very scary, but this never-before-seen situation still frightened the soldiers in the city. They really didn't know what was going on, so there was an explosion in the city for some reason, and it was the kind of explosion that seemed random, and the unknown thing made them feel panic.

"What the hell is going on?" At this time, the Duke of Seleto had also come to the position of the front line, and hurriedly asked.

"Your Majesty, it seems that the enemy has launched a long-range attack on us." The general here said a little uncertainly, because they received some reports that something seemed to have fallen from the sky and there was an explosion, and then they also saw that there seemed to be a fire from Ye Junwen's military camp in the distance, so it was speculated that the other party launched an attack, but what it was, they didn't know.

"Ranged attacks? The enemy is more than ten miles away from us and has launched a long-range attack? "Of course, the Duke of Seleto looked confused, as if you were joking.

"Your Majesty, we don't know what the situation is, but if you look over there, the enemy seems to have something in the heights, and from time to time there is a fire, and then when the other party emits fire, there will be an explosion on our side." The general also pointed in one direction and said, after all, they don't have a telescope, so they can only see a few black dots from such a distance.

"Huh?" The Duke of Seleto looked over there, and did see a few dots, and then just as he was looking, suddenly there was a loud explosion from the right under his feet, and this time it was very close to him.

Duke Seleto turned his head to see that there was an explosion on the wall next to him, and the scene was in shambles, several soldiers were killed on the spot, and then the rest of the soldiers were shocked to the ground, and because they didn't know what was happening, the soldiers began to run around in a panic.

"What the hell is this?" Duke Seleto was also a little panicked, this must be the other party's attack, but the question is what can attack them from a distance of more than ten miles, this is really too exaggerated. Now that I think about it, it's no wonder that Ye Junwen and they went down to the village more than ten miles away, and they don't come here now, it turns out that they have such a weird attack weapon.

Thinking that he had also gotten some information before, some deserters from the Fifth Legion had also come back to tell them that the enemy had some new weapons, although it was not clear what they were, but they were powerless to fight back, and now it seems that they should have encountered these things.

"Your Majesty, what shall we do?" The general asked a little anxiously. The current situation is very troublesome, it is obvious that the other party is aiming at the city wall, because the recent explosions are concentrated in the direction of the city wall, the enemy is obviously preparing to blast the city wall, but now it seems that the city wall is still very strong, and it will take a long time to blow up, but you can't let them blow up all the time, this will blow up sooner or later. Even more troublesome was the fact that they also had to stand on top of the city walls.

Yes, although the soldiers here know that the enemy is going to bomb, they still can't get down the city wall, what if they come down and the enemy doesn't blow up, they just go to the city. But standing on it is not a live target, and the soldiers don't do it, so the actual effect of this round of bombing is very ineffective, but the effect of deterrence and morale on the enemy is very good, and it is obvious that the soldiers on Duke Seleto's side are panicking.

"It can't go on like this." Duke Seleto also said that he also knew that sooner or later the city wall would collapse, and once the city wall was lost, their strength would be too far behind the other party, and they would definitely lose. So what to do now, there was no response from the elves, why did people say that they started to fight, how did they talk about it?

After thinking about it, Duke Seleto also felt that he couldn't continue to wait for news from the elves, and the current situation was likely to collapse, and he could only fight a defensive battle now. Looking at the opposite hill, he said: "Let the soldiers not panic, this thing is equivalent to a strengthened trebuchet, not such a terrible thing, and listening to the sound, the number of such weapons that the other party has is not very large, and it feels like there are only a few." ”

"But now ......"

"If it continues to be bombed like this, it will definitely not work, but it seems that it can last a long time at present, and if you wait a little, there should be a turnaround." Duke Seleto thought for a moment and said, he already had some plans, but there was no need to tell the generals who were defending the city at the front.

The artillery fire continued into the evening, and the artillery fire also stopped temporarily because the sun went down and it was impossible to see anything. The day's attack had no effect, and the walls were partially damaged, but the damage was not great. And that night, the Duke of Seleto's side was about to start his own actions.
