Chapter 283: The offensive and defensive battle in Dublin (Part 2) (Mengzhu + V)

Seeing the British artillery ran clean, Sahi pouted helplessly. Now that the artillery with the greatest threat to the city head ran away, Sahi began to look for new targets.

With a quick glance, Sahi suddenly saw the handsome flag of Richard Ball and the heavy cavalry who surrounded Richard Ball.

"It's a big fish!" Sahi was excited. As a veteran who participated in the battle of Lyle County, Sahi knew the key points of the battle. In that battle, the Saxon army failed because the high platform where Albrecht, Duke of Saxony, happened to be defeated by a shell and the handsome flag fell. Although Duke Albrecht was not killed by shells, Marin took advantage of this opportunity to rumors that "Duke Saxony is dead", and then the Saxon army collapsed ...

"If I can kill the British commander in one shell, will the British army also collapse?"

So, Sahi let his French artillery begin to turn the muzzle, aiming at the handsome flag of the British army. Sahi took out the plumb and restarted positioning to ensure that the muzzle and the target were in a vertical direction. Then, Sahi commanded the French artillery and started the school shooting ...

After several school shots, the shells finally approached the small square headed by Richard Ball. This time, the bad luck was a plate knight ranked first ...

I saw a 12-pound iron ball instantly hit the knight's chest. Despite wearing sturdy plate armor, the plate armor is as soft as bread in front of the fast-flying 12-pound iron ball. I saw the strong steel plate armor, quickly hit the original protruding chest plate armor under the impact of iron ball shells, and plunged into it. At the same time, a cracking sound of "click" came from the knight's chest-obviously, the knight's sternum was smashed ...

The 12-pound iron ball seemed to be unsatisfactory. After hitting the chest plate armor in front, it hit the chest plate armor in the back and removed a huge bump. As a result, the knight's body was also thrown up by the huge impact of the shells, hitting a group of infantry on the side until several infantry were overturned ...

"No, Chris!" Richard Ball, beside the handsome flag, shouted in fear when he saw the knight flying. Because, the knight named Chris is his pro-nephew ...

Richard Ball hurried to the knight and asked with concern:

"Chris, how are you?"

The knight answered with his mouth open, but with one mouth, he spit out some broken bones and internal organs:

"Uncle, I ... I'm afraid it won't work, please, help me take care of my mother and sister ..." After finishing the sentence with a last effort, Chris Knight turned his head straight and hung up. However, even if he died, he still couldn't stop bleeding, and the blood was still mixed with shattered visceral fragments ...

"No-" Richard Ball shouted in pain. Richard's sister married an ordinary knight, and Chris was their only son. Today, Chris followed Richard Ball to participate in this battle, and it was obviously gold-plated. Unexpectedly, but died under the city of Dublin.

At this time, the knight on the edge was anxious, and they hurriedly persuaded:

"Master, the enemy's artillery is aiming at us. Please withdraw quickly. If you are hit by the enemy's artillery, the consequences will be disastrous!"

Although Richard Ball was sad, he knew his men were right. So he took the nephew's body and pulled back ...

Seeing the enemy commander escaped, Sahi was not convinced. But he did not know that the French artillery around him had regarded him as a god.

Despite the large number of French artillery, French artillery did not mount a mountain behind the gun body. Therefore, most of their aiming depends on eyes and experience. The lead vertical line aiming method used by Sahi, although not so accurate, at least does not shift left and right. The next step is to adjust the elevation angle of the artillery and the charge.

Although there is a big gap between the graduates of the artillery schools of later generations who can use rulers and protractors to calculate, but the aiming method used by Sahi is much more accurate than the sighting of the French artillery. Of error. Therefore, those old French artillery wanted to worship Sahi as a master.

However, what they did not know was that Sahi, seeing this situation, already understood that his artillery aiming method had leaked. So, he was already planning in his heart, to find a way to kill these French artillery after the war, lest they bring this simple aiming method back to France ...

As the handsome flag moved back, the morale of the British army also fell sharply. Seeing that nothing was possible, Richard Ball simply ordered the whole army to retreat, pulled to a safe distance that the artillery could not reach, and began to camp.

In the next few days, Richard Ball conducted several tentative attacks, and they were all shot back by the musketeers in the city. Until one day, it suddenly rained ...

On this day, the defender of Count Edward, whether it was a musket or an artillery, was completely misfired ...

After discovering this situation, Richard Ball's morale was greatly boosted, so he began to order full siege ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ However, there were not many defenders in the city. Although the British army dared to climb the city wall fearlessly, in the end it was still hard to escape the fate of being beaten down.

But at least, the British army was able to compete fairly with Ireland on rainy days instead of being slaughtered unilaterally ... So, the two sides started fighting with each other ...

However, when the rain stopped, the British army fell again ...

In this way, the defenders of the British Army and Earl Edward fell into such a strange circle-whenever the wind was bright, both sides exercised restraint and ignored each other. Because of such weather, the British army is destined to suffer.

In the rainy weather, the British army fought like crazy. Every rainy day, the head of Dublin will shout to kill the sky. Under the wall, there are broken limbs and broken arms everywhere, and blood flows down with blood.

However, no matter how hard the British army tried, it was impossible to completely get Count Edward's defender. Because although the British army came with 20,000 troops, the 7,000 long archers were only good at archery. Therefore, the main force of the real siege is still another 13,000 people.

However, the defender of Earl Edward in the city, in addition to the previous 8,000 men and horses, there are 2,800 people sent by Marin, there are 10,800 veterans. In addition to the two or three thousand recruits in the city, the main battle force is no less than the British army. Without the advantage of numbers, the British army could not break through the city defense of Dublin.

It's just that Richard Ball didn't know yet. He thought there were only 8000 people in the city. Apart from the 2,000 musketeers, there should be only 6,000 soldiers. But what he didn't know is that the fact that there are two or eight thousand more enemies than this number is not counted as the two or three thousand conscription. Although it is said that the strength of conscripts is not strong, they cannot be underestimated by their strong walls. In this way, the two sides are stuck in a stalemate ...
