With Jiang You's order, dozens of sharpshooters armed with sniper rifles on the city wall began to shoot at the enemy sharpshooters under the city.

Compared with the bow and arrow, the rate of fire of the sniper rifle is slower, but the power is stronger, being shot by the bow and arrow, if it is not critical, most of them are only injured, but if the bullet of the sniper rifle is hit, even if it does not hit the vital point, it will be punched a huge blood hole in the body, if it is not treated in time to stop the bleeding, it will soon die due to excessive blood loss, and even if it is treated in time, the soldier is completely incapacitated in a short time, after all, the caliber of this sniper rifle is very large, If a shot goes down to the hands and feet, it can even tear off people's hands and feet.

Therefore, after a few minutes of firing between the two sides, seventy or eighty of the enemy's elite marksmen were killed and maimed, leaving a large pile of dazzling red blood on the snow.

By this time, the enemy's besieging force had already rushed under the city walls, and more ordinary archers began to shoot arrows at the top of the wall to cover their own soldiers on the wall.

This is not the time to retreat, and if you retreat, you will likely be taken by the enemy.

So Jiang You personally led a group of soldiers, took a grenade and threw it at the enemies under the city walls.

At the same time, dense arrows also continued to shoot from under the city wall, and many militiamen were unlucky, they were shot in the face of the door, and immediately fell down screaming, and a few unlucky people fell directly from the city wall. The walls of Fort Elbuk are also seven or eight meters high, and it is almost impossible to survive falling from such a high wall.

As for the regular soldiers, they had already put down the visors of their helmets at this time, and even if the enemy archers shot them in the face, they would not be able to do any damage to them.

With a series of explosions under the city wall, the enemy soldiers who had gathered below and prepared to enter the city were suddenly killed or wounded, and the blood gradually stained the ground under the city wall completely red.

After clearing out this group of enemy troops approaching the city wall, Jiang You ordered some soldiers to pour gasoline on those siege equipment and burn them, while ordering the many soldiers on the city wall to constantly fire at the enemy troops that continued to pour in from behind.

Bullets continued to pour down from the city's heads, and beneath the walls, a large number of enemy archers continued to fire arrows upwards.

The most powerful class in the kingdom of Vekia is the archer, and in the original game of riding and slashing, the Vekia marksman can be said to have no other shortcomings except for his poor staying power.

And now there is no such disadvantage at all, because in addition to those regular soldiers, King Yarogark also requisitioned 200,000 people, and these people are constantly transporting arrows to the front line at this time, so that those archers do not have to worry about running out of arrows, and can continue to fire arrows at the city without any scruples to suppress the enemy's long-range firepower.

Under such a dense rain of arrows, the militia on the head of the city will be injured from time to time, and fortunately, these militiamen are also armored, unless they are directly hit by the face of the door, other militia who were shot in the arm and the like are only injured, take them down to deal with the wounds, and rest for a day before they can continue to fight on the city wall, after all, Jiang You does not expect these militiamen to fight hand-to-hand with the enemy, they only need to use those flintlock rifles to shoot, this is not a laborious thing.

In fact, the reason why firearms can completely eliminate the bow and crossbow, in addition to its relatively easy to use, and its less laborious way of handling is also related, those bows and crossbows want to pull them apart, it takes a lot of effort, even if it is the elite marksman who has the blessing of strong bow skills in the riding and slashing world, it is estimated that he will feel tired when shooting one or two hundred arrows at most, and the use of muskets does not require much effort, even those militiamen who are not very strong can use flintlock rifles to fight for several hours.

After the battle lasted for an hour or so, the enemy archers ran out of energy, so the density of arrows became more and more sparse, but the bullets fired from the head of Fort Elbuk were still continuous, which made it more and more difficult for the enemy soldiers who were still besieging the city to advance, and one would be killed by bullets if they were not careful.

King Yarogerke, who had been watching the battle from the rear, immediately stopped the attack when he saw this, after all, this onslaught for so long, none of his soldiers were able to climb the city wall, but lost a lot of process guns in the process of attacking, and the soldiers suffered more than 10,000 casualties, and the people also suffered more than 5,000 casualties.

Those people suffered some casualties, King Yarogark didn't care much, but the loss of those regular soldiers made him very distressed, you must know that this time although he gathered 300,000 troops, but among them, the senior soldiers with strong combat effectiveness were only about 100,000, which is also all the elites in the Kingdom of Vekia, these elites need a long time of training and many battles to be able to experience, and most of the first wave of the army that was just responsible for the tentative attack are such elites, So with so much loss at once, how could King Yarogark not be heartbroken!

After waiting for the army to withdraw, King Yarogark saw that it was not early, so he decided to stop there today and wait until dawn tomorrow to continue the attack, after all, it is winter, and the temperature will drop rapidly at night, and the sky will become darker, which will also affect the archery of his archers, so he still collects his troops and returns to the camp at night and has a good rest.

On the other side, Jiang You looked at it for a while, and found that the enemy army had indeed retreated, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then he began to let the people in the city go to the city wall to start cleaning up the corpses and arrows on the city wall, especially those arrows, if they ran out of bullets later, now collect more arrows, and then be able to use bows and arrows to shoot at the enemy, so that there is not even a little long-range firepower, so that the enemy can easily attack the city wall.

Since the enemy was only a tentative attack on the first day, there were not too many troops, so the casualties on the defender's side were not too many, Jiang You checked the statistics of his subordinates, and found that there were more than 100 soldiers killed on his side, and there were quite a lot of wounded soldiers, more than 500, of which dozens of people were seriously injured, such as arrows in the eye, etc., at this time they were still in a dangerous state, whether they could survive or not, if they couldn't survive, the number of soldiers killed would continue to increase.

Thankfully, the casualties were all militiamen, and not a single regular soldier was killed or injured in today's fighting.

In contrast, the Kingdom of Vekia, as the attacker, suffered heavy casualties, and as the besieging troops withdrew to the main camp, the screams of the soldiers who were wounded during the siege soon resounded in the camp.

Under the influence of those terrible screams, the soldiers in the large camp could not rest at all.

King Yaroglke was also disturbed by these screams and could not sleep peacefully, so he personally went to the wounded barracks to check the condition of the wounded soldiers, wanting to see how badly these guys were injured and why they were screaming one by one.

As a result, after personally inspecting the tragic condition of those wounded soldiers, King Yarogark was even more unable to sleep, because most of the wounded soldiers were missing arms and legs, and some of their bellies were broken, and their intestines were lying out, and the doctors in the barracks couldn't stuff those intestines back after trying for a long time.

However, in order to be able to continue to command the battle tomorrow, King Yarogark finally asked his doctors to boil a bowl of medicinal soup that has a sleeping effect and drank it, and finally fell into a deep sleep.

King Yarogark slept until nine o'clock in the morning the next day, when the sun had come out, but the sun still looked very weak, and it could not melt the snow on the ground at all, so the temperature was still not high.

After the king had finished breakfast, he once again sent his troops to attack Fort Elbuk.

Although the number of elite troops sent this time was not as large as yesterday's, the total number of troops was much larger, with more than 50,000 horses.

Jiang You saw that the enemy army had sent so many troops this time, and he didn't dare to be careless, so he immediately let all the troops climb the city wall and enter the battle position.

And because of the large number of enemy troops, Jiang You even took out the only dozen rockets in the city, preparing to give the other party a big surprise after the enemy entered the firing range.

The enemy obviously doesn't know that there is this kind of big surprise waiting for them today, before they get close to the city wall, the formation is still very dense, which can be regarded as a habit of the troops in the cold weapon era, after all, the army in the cold weapon era generally advances in formation, so those soldiers will develop this habit over time, and they also like to get together when they advance.

This directly led to the next tragedy, accompanied by a loud roar, the dozen rockets suddenly flew out of the wall and flew towards the enemy troops who were gathered together.

Although King Yarogark had never seen a rocket, he instinctively sensed something was wrong at this time, and immediately asked his own soldiers to inform the front-line troops and let them disperse.

Unfortunately, it was too late to send his own soldiers to inform him at this time, and the personal soldiers rushed halfway through the horse, and the rockets fell into the enemy formation one after another, and then produced a violent explosion.

Because the enemy soldiers were too many meters, as long as these rockets managed to fall into the enemy formation, each of them killed and wounded at least fifty or sixty people, and from the air it looked as if the enemy army was in the middle of the enemy's army, as if some God's hand had pressed down with his fingers, and instantly wiped out the soldiers in these places.

King Yarogark was also shocked to see that the front army was killed nearly a thousand men and horses in one fell swoop, but he soon realized that it was useless to feel sorry for the loss of troops at this time, so he ordered his troops to continue the attack, he did not believe that the number of enemy troops would be large with this kind of mass murder.

To the delight of King Yarogark, as the front-line army continued to advance, the enemy army never used the previous weapons again, but relied on the few cannons on the city wall to bombard their own army, but only relying on those artillery, it was impossible to kill the more than 50,000 troops in a short time, so the troops on the front line still approached the wall of Fort Elbuk little by little.
