At this time, Duke Seleto in the main city was waiting for feedback from the elves. Of course, he sent the people from the elves before. At present, the situation should be said to be pretty good. After all, the other party is not ready to attack the city yet.

Yes, Ye Junwen's troops are still in the camp more than ten miles away. If they were to start siege, of course they wouldn't be there anymore. The troops had already arrived to surround the main city. Duke Seleto also knows military affairs, so he knows that this morning is definitely a very good time to start siege. If the opponent's soldiers have not come yet, it means that the elf messenger he sent out before has played a role.

"Serina... It's still too young." Duke Seleto was a little happy. Now it seems that although this person named Seleto has outstanding military capabilities, his political affairs are still very tender. The conditions provided by Duke Seleto are very simple. Don't you support a queen? This queen is his own daughter, so Duke Seleto said that I'll just let her be the heir.

Of course, this kind of words is like farts. Everyone will be able to open a blank check. As long as he can stabilize now, there will be a chance to kill these troubled people in the future. Ye Junwen is very good at fighting, and Duke Seleto also panics him, but after putting down his weapons, Duke Seleto has many ways to deal with him.

However, just when Duke Seleto was secretly happy, he suddenly heard a few "boom boom" sounds coming from the city. The sound was very loud. Although you could tell that it was still a little distance from him, it was already very interesting to be able to reach this place.

"What's going on?" Duke Seleto immediately walked to the window and looked in the direction of the sound. Then he found that there seemed to be several smoke-filled places in the city, and it seemed that an explosion or fire had occurred.

"What's going on? Go and check it out quickly." Duke Seleto immediately said to the soldiers next to him.

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

Although the city has entered a state of alert, the enemy is still within ten miles, so no one would have thought that this was an attack launched by the enemy. Most of the soldiers also heard the sound of explosions, but they just thought that there was an accident in the city, or that the enemy's spies were sabotaging the city. In short, no one noticed that the threat fell from the air.

Of course, this round of shooting was completely useless. Ye Junwen's goal was to destroy the city wall or the city gate. However, no shell fell on the city wall in this round, and basically fell into the city, and one shot even hit the outside of the city. Of course, they didn't expect them to hit one shot. If the artillery was so easy to practice, then the war would be too simple. Moreover, these soldiers were exposed to cannons for the first time. Fortunately, Ye Junwen still had a lot of ammunition, so they asked them to try it casually and just practice it.

On the hills more than ten miles away, the investigators of the artillery battalion also used telescopes to judge the landing point. Since they were all engaged in artillery, of course Ye Junwen has prepared such things as telescopes. Without guns, they have all equipped them with range finders to help with side accuracy. The first round is just a test shot, and the second round will slowly approach the target point.

After a slight adjustment, the second round of artillery bombardment began. After a series of consecutive shots, several more flames rose in the distance, and this time, a shell had already landed on the city wall.

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

"Very good." Ye Junwen's voice suddenly came from the side. Everyone turned their heads and found that Ye Junwen was next to them. He was very focused and didn't see it. Now he quickly saluted.

"It's okay, I'll come and see the situation. You can continue fighting." Ye Junwen said, "The position of the battalion commander of the artillery battalion is still empty..."

This is the temptation of the terrible. It is obvious that who can win the greatest military merit in this battle is his position as the battalion commander. Of course, these artillery soldiers also quickly aimed at it seriously.

Ye Junwen came here, of course, to see the shelling situation. However, after looking at the results of the shelling, he was not very satisfied. Yes, the city wall did not seem to have suffered much damage. The main city wall was indeed a bit too strong. This city wall, which looked about 30 meters high, was indeed not something that could be demolished in ordinary situations. Ye Junwen had already used cannons to bombard it, but unfortunately the caliber was not large enough, and it seemed like it was tickling when hit.

However, the small effect does not mean that there is no effect. If you bombard it for a few rounds, it should be 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 you shoot a few shots. Unfortunately, the city gate is really difficult to aim, so you can only look at the learning ability of these artillery soldiers.

"Continue to shelling and aim at the direction of the city gate." Ye Junwen said.

"Yes, Marshal." The soldiers nodded excitedly.

Because the number of cannons is relatively small, the intermittent sounds of cannons do not sound scary, but this situation that has never been seen before still scared the soldiers in the city. They really didn't know what happened, and there was an explosion in the city for no reason, and it was the kind of explosion that looked very random. This unknown thing made them feel panic.

"What the hell is going on?" At this time, Duke Seleto had already arrived at the front line and asked quickly.

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

"Long-range attack? The enemy has launched a long-range attack more than ten miles away from us?" Duke Seleto was of course confused, as if you were joking.

"Your Majesty, we don't know what's going on, but when you look over there, the enemy seems to have something on the high ground, and there are fires coming out from time to time. Then when the fires appear on the other side, an explosion will occur on our side." The general pointed in one direction and said, after all, they don't have such a telescope, so they can only see a few black dots from such a distance.

"Huh?" Duke Seleto looked over there and saw a few points. Then, just as he was looking, suddenly there was a loud explosion at his right side, and this time he was very close to him.

Duke Seleto turned around and saw that the city wall next to him had exploded, and the scene was in a mess. Several soldiers were killed on the spot, and the rest of the soldiers were shocked to the ground. Because they didn't know what was going on, the soldiers began to run around in panic.

"What the hell is this?" Duke Seleto was also a little panicked. It 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 exaggerating. Now that I think about it, no wonder Ye Junwen and the others came to the camp across more than ten miles, and now they are not here. It turns out that they have such strange attack weapons.

Thinking that he had also received some information before, some deserters of the Fifth Legion also came back to tell them that the enemy had some new weapons. Although they were not sure what they were, they had no power to fight back. Now it seems that they were encountering these things.

"Your Majesty, what should we do?" the general asked anxiously. The situation is very troublesome now. 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 blow the city wall. However, it seems that the city wall is still very strong and it will take a long time to blow it up. However, we can't let them keep blowing it up, it will explode sooner or later. What's even more troublesome is that they must stand on the city wall.

Yes, although the soldiers here knew that the enemy was going to bomb, they still couldn't get down the city wall. What if they came down and the enemy stopped blowing up, they would just climb the city. But standing on it is not a living target, and the soldiers didn't do it either. So the actual effect of this round of bombing was slightly better, but the deterrence and morale effect on the enemy was very excellent. It was obvious that the soldiers on Duke Seleto were panicked.

"It won't work if this continues." Duke Seleto also said. He also knew that the city wall would collapse sooner or later if this continues. Once the city wall is lost, their troops will be too convenient and the opponent will lose. What should I do now? There is no response from the elves. Why did they start fighting at the beginning? What are the talks?

After thinking about it, Duke Seleto felt that he could not continue to wait for news from the elves. The situation is very likely that the talks have collapsed, and he can only engage in defensive battles now. Looking at the hill opposite, he said: "Let the soldiers not panic. This thing is just a reinforced catapult. It is not such a terrible thing. And listening to the sound, the other party has not many such weapons, and it feels like there are only a few."

“But now…”

"If you keep getting bombed like this, it will definitely not work. However, it seems that it will take a long time to wait a little, and there should be a turnaround." Duke Seleto thought for a while and said. He had already made some plans, but there was no need to tell the general guarding the city on the front line.

The artillery fire continued until the evening, and because the sun set, there was no sight to see anything, so the artillery fire stopped temporarily. The attack on this day did not have any effect, and part of the city wall was broken, but the loss was not very large. On this night, Duke Seleto was about to start his own actions.
