However, the gunners on their side were not good, and the enemy gunners were obviously not very proficient, and as the three expensive bronze guns were loaded, the enemy gunners also lit the fuses and began to fire cannonballs at the opposite city.

It's a pity that two of these three shells were high, flying over the city wall, and one fell weakly to the ground when it was still more than 20 meters away from the city wall, and I don't know whether it was due to the insufficient charge or the air tightness of the gun itself, resulting in such a large cannon not even being able to hit 500 meters.

And this is good news for Yang Zhi and them, after all, the caliber of the three bronze cannons on the opposite side looks close to 100 millimeters, and if they are really hit, they will definitely cause a lot of damage to the city wall.

However, the thunderous cannon fire raised the morale of the enemy infantry, and under the cover of many heavy infantry, the more than 100 enemy musketeers armed with arquebuses quickly approached a hundred meters from the city wall, and then leaned out from behind their shields to shoot at the defenders on the wall.

The defenders on the city wall were not to be outdone, and opened fire one after another, and for a time the bullets between the two sides shuttled back and forth, and from time to time soldiers on both sides were wounded and killed.

However, it is obvious that the flintlock rifles on Yang Zhi's side are more lethal, and most of the soldiers who were killed were from the Svadia Kingdom, and even if Yang Zhi's soldiers were shot, because of the excellent armor protection, most of the soldiers were only injured and their lives were saved. And there is also a lot of inaccuracy between the two sides, the arquebus on the side of the Swadia Kingdom fired a salvo, and only five or six rifles of more than a hundred rifles could hit the target at most, while Yang Zhi's more than four hundred rifles on their side fired a salvo, but at least hundreds of rifles could hit the target.

So after a few rounds of firing, even with the cover of those beast heavy infantry with iron shields, the riflemen on the side of the Swadia Kingdom still lost more than two-thirds, and had no choice but to retreat.

The casualties were even greater among the heavy infantry who were responsible for covering the musketeers, during which at least two hundred men were killed, and the corpses lay on the ground beneath the walls.

However, their sacrifice was still worth it, and the other enemy infantry, taking advantage of the friendly army's firepower, pushed all kinds of siege engines closer to the city walls.

One of the battering rams quickly came to the city gate, and under the combined impetus of a dozen enemy infantry, it slammed into the iron-clad gate of Fort Jerberg.

There are also two siege towers, which have already been built on the city wall, and the enemy soldiers who had been hiding in the towers are struggling to climb up. Seven rudimentary wooden ladders were also erected on the walls, along which a large number of enemy infantrymen were climbing with shields over their heads and faces.

"Use a grenade, blow up these guys for me!"

In Yang Zhi's roar, dozens of soldiers took out a grenade at the same time and threw it at the swarming enemy army below the city wall.

Boom Boom! After a series of explosions, all the enemy troops under the city wall were killed and injured, and the rudimentary wooden ladders were directly blown down, and the soldiers on them screamed and fell back to the ground.

Above the city gate, several soldiers poured a large barrel of gasoline, and then dropped a torch, which ignited the gasoline instantly, and suddenly the battering ram and the dozen or so soldiers responsible for pushing it were suddenly drowned in the sea of fire, and the screams were endless.

At this time, the hanging ladders above the two engineering towers also smashed heavily on the city wall, and a large number of enemy troops who had been waiting inside shouted that they were about to rush to the city wall.

However, in front of these two engineering towers, Yang Zhi and Li Zhong had already specially carried two artillery pieces and loaded them with scattered shells.

Those enemy soldiers looked at the large scattered bullets that were fired at the head-on, and some of the enemy soldiers who had just rushed up the city wall were so frightened that they jumped directly from the city wall, after all, there were still many friendly troops behind them at this time, and it was impossible to retreat, so they could only jump down directly from the city wall.

However, jumping from the city wall may save a small life, at most breaking a leg, and those enemy soldiers who did not jump off the city wall in time were instantly beaten into a sieve by the steel balls that shot at them, and died a miserable death.

The corpses of these guys were also jammed at the exit above the engineering tower, making it difficult for the enemy troops in the rear to continue their advance for a while.

Soon, several grenades were thrown from above the corpses into the tower, causing the enemy soldiers to turn around and slip away, but the tower was too crowded to retreat.

So after these grenades exploded, the enemy soldiers who had not had time to break out of the siege tower were all killed inside, and a large amount of blood quickly poured out of the siege tower, so frightened that the enemy troops who came after did not dare to continue to enter it.

And Yang Zhi and they continue to block those siege enemy troops at the same time, some enemy crossbowmen are also launching counterattacks against them, from time to time on the city wall there will be soldiers who are injured by the arrows and crossbows they shoot, such as Yang Zhi and Li Zhong The armor is more gorgeous, and the guy who looks like a general has become the key target of the enemy crossbowmen, and even from time to time there will be a few javelins and axes projected from under the city wall.

However, Yang Zhi and Li Zhong were both very good, and none of these attacks really hurt them, and they even used bows and arrows to kill a lot of enemy crossbowmen.

As for Ye Er, there were actually some enemy crossbowmen who had set fire on him at the beginning, but unfortunately because the armor on his body was too thick, those arrows and crossbows couldn't even leave a mark on it, let alone break the defense, so soon those enemy crossbowmen gave up and continued to shoot this minotaur.

However, the other party stopped shooting him, Ye Er would not show mercy to those enemy soldiers, only to see that he would throw a flying axe from time to time on the wall, and then these flying axes the size of two-handed battle axes would cut through the bodies of at least five or six enemy soldiers at once like a sharp chainsaw with the blessing of their terrifying brute force.

The fierce siege lasted from two o'clock in the afternoon to more than five o'clock in the afternoon, and the soldiers on both sides who had been fighting for more than three hours were almost exhausted by this time, and the sky was beginning to darken, so the commander of the Swadia Kingdom had to choose to temporarily withdraw his troops.

Seeing the enemy retreating, Guo Xiaoyun, who had been thinking about taking the opportunity to make more military achievements, couldn't help but sit on the blood-stained city wall weakly, in the previous battle, he personally killed at least seventy or eighty enemies, and also shot more than thirty enemy soldiers with a flintlock rifle, this number of heads should have broken a hundred, such a rich result is indeed enough for his military rank to rise to the next level, as for the noble title, it may be almost hot, but it should be no problem to get a knighthood.

However, although the results of the battle were rich, it was too tiring, Guo Xiaoyun felt that his arms were now as if he had lost consciousness, he couldn't lift them, and his feet seemed to be filled with lead, which was extremely heavy, and every step he took a huge amount of strength. In addition, his lungs are also hot and painful, so that he is in a cold sweat without breathing once.

was able to hold on to the end today, Guo Xiaoyun didn't want to lose face in front of those subordinates at all, if he did it again, he was really not sure that he would be able to persevere.

So Guo Xiaoyun also quickly changed his thinking, and felt that it was too hard to continue to climb up, so it was better to continue to be a salted fish and lie flat.

Not far from Guo Xiaoyun, Yang Zhi was also resting on the city wall with a tired face, as an innate master, although his physical strength was much stronger than that of ordinary people, and he also had innate true qi to be able to carry out various blessings, but because the enemy also sent many masters to besiege him, his consumption was not small, and fortunately, he was supported by Li Zhong and Ye Er, which enabled him to successfully counterkill those enemy masters, and persisted until the end of this siege battle.

And the reason why Guo Xiaoyun was near Yang Zhi was also because this little clever ghost found that Yang Zhi had a lot of enemies around him, so he gradually came over by himself, but the enemy was cut down, but he was also tired.

Just when Yang Zhi and the others were hurrying to rest, a team of young men also came up with a load of scones and broth, and the soldiers who had long been hungry stepped forward one after another to take a piece of scones the size of a face plate and ate them.

While the soldiers defending the city were munching, the young men began to clean up the corpses on the city walls.

Most of the corpses on this city wall are enemy soldiers, except for a few knights and nobles who need to be specially picked out, the other corpses are directly stripped of their equipment and loaded onto carts, ready to be transported to the open space in the city to be burned, so as not to cause a plague or something after these corpses decompose.

And those soldiers on their own side naturally have to be picked out one by one and placed well, after all, these people are just temporarily offline, and when Ye Tianlong's side sends the archangel over, these soldiers who died in battle will soon be resurrected.

As the so-called Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived, because Yang Zhi sent his subordinates to ask Ye Tianlong for help in a small airship early, so when the sun was setting, ten archangels finally arrived at Fort Jerberg.

During this period of time, with the continuous battles, Ye Tianlong specially let those angels eat some more experience points, so now there are eight more archangels under his command, and only the last thirteen angels have not been upgraded.

After these ten archangels arrived, they didn't talk nonsense, and directly under the guidance of Yang Zhi, they performed their resurrection skills on those soldiers who died in battle, and suddenly accompanied by white holy light rising to the sky, and these soldiers who had just died in battle came back to life one by one.

When the other soldiers saw this scene, they couldn't help but be demoralized, and even the fatigue on their bodies seemed to be much less, after all, they could be resurrected directly after being killed in battle, and their little soldiers naturally had no worries at all, and they would definitely be more brave in the future.

As for those young men who are not regular soldiers, they are very envious when they see this scene, and some of them are even moved to become regular soldiers of this East Nord Kingdom, after all, they can be resurrected anyway, and they can earn a military merit by joining the army while they are young, which is not higher than the income of farming that continues to be bitter!
