"Yeah, yeah, this sound sounds like it's all." Ye Junwen nodded and said as he heard the sound of cannons coming from the right. Compared to before, the number of cannons now sounds like an artillery battalion. This time, Ye Junwen also designated artillery when trading, so he brought a lot of them back. Of course, there are relatively few guns. Ye Junwen did not bring a gun back this time, but brought some ammunition. Other spaces were used to fire artillery, with a total of thirteen guns. Moreover, the cannons were all of the same caliber, and the ammunition was also equipped.

Not only the number of artillery has been formed, but Ye Junwen has also prepared a lot of ammunition this time, not only in quantity, but also in types. For example, now they are tactical incendiary bombs. However, the area of ​​this kind of bomb is still very small. After all, no matter how large the ammunition is, the infamous white phosphorus bomb is a prohibited weapon. Ye Junwen can do this and it is good to be able to do this.

The purpose of this kind of ammunition is not to burn people. The kind that burns people is not allowed to be sold, and it is mainly used to destroy the terrain. It is very suitable now. The so-called setting fire to sit in the bottom of a mountain prison is a matter on the earth. Here, no one will pay attention to any environmental protection issues, just burn it casually.

After a few shots, many fire points quickly appeared in the woods in front. According to this situation, if it did not rain, the entire woods would soon burn. This kind of fire cannot be extinguished by humans, especially when there is no water source here.

Although they had only fired a few shots, the people of the Elf tribe had already started to have a headache. Yes, their personnel had almost no losses in these shots, and only a few people were injured, but the panic caused was far greater than the actual effect. The soldiers did not expect that the other party could attack them at such a long distance. Although they also heard that the other party had new weapons, they did not feel terrifying until they actually saw the effect.

How to deal with this? Now that the two sides are separated by such a long distance, the other party is attacking them. They can't be passively beaten all the time. So rush out? The problem is that the terrain here is beneficial to them. If you go out, it will be the Great Plain. Who knows who the Great Plain is beneficial to them? The elves do not have cavalry teams. They are all in the woods and use cavalry to use cavalry. If they leave the forest, won't the other party's cavalry troops completely defeat them?

Now they finally realized the aggrieved feeling when Duke Seleto defended the city before. They forced you to come out and beat you one-sidedly if you don't come out. This is really a headache.

The captain of the Elf Force is named Ossei. She is a heroic female general of the Elf tribe. However, her war experience is not very rich. Such a large-scale battle has not occurred since she took over the Supreme Command of the Elf tribe. This is the first time she has experienced such a big battle. However, just now, the commander on the opposite side gave her such a problem.

"Osaisi, do we have to take the initiative to fight?" Another female general of the Elf tribe next to him came up and asked. Although Osaisi was the highest commander, the Elf tribe did not use the title between superiors and subordinates. The Elf tribe is all a family, so they still have the name Osaisi.

"The other party obviously forced us to take the initiative." Osseus thought for a while and said, "This is the enemy's plan. If we go out, what will wait for us will be a trap."

"Yeah." The other party obviously agreed with this statement, but quickly said, "But if we don't go out now, we can only be beaten passively. It is obviously not possible to continue like this. What should we do?"

"At present... can only wait." Osseus thought for a while and said, "Although the opponent's equipment attack was very far away, the damage caused was not very large. We have natural protection and the opponent cannot aim at our position, so the threat is not very large at the moment, but the soldiers are more afraid. I think we should be patient for the time being and wait until the opportunity..."

"When is the time?" asked the female general.

"It's raining." Osseus said, "I heard that the opponent's weapon and musket cannot be used when it rains. Because it needs to be ignited, we should wait for the time when it rains. Then launch an assault when the opponent's weapon cannot be used, so that they can be defeated."

"So that's it." The female general nodded, "I understand, now we must stabilize the soldiers' emotions."

What Osces said was actually no problem. After all, the muskets on the other world were indeed unavailable when it rained. Before, Ye Junwen used guns to fight against them on sunny days, so Osces felt that the other party's musket also had this weakness when he had never seen the real thing.

Of course, even Ye Junwen couldn't imagine that he could not even think that the other party could have such a misunderstanding. After a few rounds, Ye Junwen saw that the other party had no movement and was very surprised that what the other party was waiting for. He couldn't be beaten passively. He had plans for the other party to advance and retreat, but he didn't advance or retreat, which made him feel a headache. Is the other party really ready to consume their ammunition?

"I really don't believe it." Ye Junwen said that he would continue to blow it until the other party came out.

So the artillery fire lasted for a day, and it was soon tonight. That night, Ye Junwen's artillery fire did not stop. Yes, unlike last time, because he wanted to aim at the city wall, the artillery fire could not be used casually at night, otherwise it would be a waste. But this time there was no target, and they really couldn't see the enemy's position, just exploded the tree. What else would it take to aim? Just explode it.

However, considering that the artillery troops still need to determine the location of the landing point in order to train the placement, and the soldiers on their side also need to rest, so there is no way to rest until they have been blowing all night, so Ye Junwen said that the blowing round will take two hours, just reminding the soldiers to change shifts.

After one night, the situation in the military camps on both sides was different. Most of the soldiers on Ye Junwen's side did not rest well. After all, although there was a gap, they still disturbed them every two hours. Many soldiers slept for 2-3 hours at night, which was indeed a little tired, but... they just didn't sleep well, and the elves were frightened.

There must be no way to sleep on the elves. Not to mention the sudden attack from the enemy, there will be a round of bombing every 2 hours. Who knows if they will be killed by sleeping? So all the people of the elves didn't sleep and held on for a night.

The next day, Commander Osces received a bad news. In one night, their troops reduced more than 5,500 troops. This is not a joke, but in fact, less than 100 people were killed by shells. The remaining reductions were due to deserters.

Yes, the soldiers of the Elf tribe ran away, which was something that Osces didn't expect. Osces couldn't figure out what happened to these soldiers. Was they scared away by the enemy's cannon? But this cannon looks scary, and the actual damage caused is very limited. So far, many people have been injured, but less than 300 people have died in battle. What's there to be afraid of?

Osseus didn't know how fragile these elves soldiers who had not experienced war for a long time were. The past decade of peace has made the elves soldiers forget the battlefield. The elves soldiers who had experienced war before have basically retired, and the newly enlisted soldiers are on the battlefield for the first time. This situation that they have never seen before, especially the scene of their companions being bombed and burned to death by artillery, they were frightened.

Why do they come here to fight? Can't they eat and drink well at home? These soldiers have no will to fight. They don't know who they are fighting for and why they are fighting. What is the purpose of just coming here to die? In addition, the psychological pressure brought by this artillery that they may be killed at any time, these soldiers discussed with their comrades and asked, let's go and make some yarn.

This has to mention another disadvantage of the elves troops, that is, they do not have a supervising team. Yes, the human troops have a supervising team. Once they find that their soldiers are about to run on the battlefield, the supervising team will immediately kill these deserters. Unless the commander orders to retreat, the soldiers can only move forward, either die at the hands of the enemy or at the hands of their supervising team. That is all death, and it is better to be a hero. Of course, they can only move forward.

However, the elves advocate peace and equality, and they are all brothers and sisters. If this is the case, how can their own people kill their own people? In their opinion, the existence of the human supervision team is completely a barbaric behavior and a bad habit. The elves have never had a supervision team, but in the past, the elves had the belief in fighting. They knew that they were fighting for the race, and there were very few deserters, so there was no need to supervise the battle. However, now it is not more than ten years ago, the young elves of the new era were not the elves at that time.

More than ten years of peaceful life have basically forgotten the war. The elves are not the nation that fights for the survival of the race. Their country is very stable and there is no problem with survival. In this case, they choose to run away. There is no problem. No one will kill them anyway. At most, they will be arrested. This is not a serious crime in the elves. They are noble and harmonious elves, unlike the barbarians who often kill people. They do not kill their compatriots.

So under the impression of this situation, deserters appeared in each unit in one night, and more than 5,000 soldiers fled directly from the battlefield, which was 50 times more effective than the enemy's artillery attack.

After hearing this report, Osse frowned. She didn't expect that this would happen. If this happens, it seems that they can't afford to delay it.
