However, his warnings were meaningless. Why? Because even if you shout, it's useless......

There were a lot of Scottish soldiers at the head of the city, but they could only stand on the top of the city and watch. Because, the city gate is below, and it is not easy for them to save it. What's more, the city gate has been blocked from the internal test.

What's worse is that the city gate is shrunk in the hole of the city gate. Some soldiers at the head of the city brought basins of water and poured water on them. As a result, because the gates of the city were shrunk in the holes of the gates, they could not be poured.

In fact, even if the water in the basin is poured on the fire, it is useless. Because this burns gasoline, and water cannot be extinguished.

When the commander of the city was about to send people down the city to extinguish the fire, a group of men and horses of the Fourth Legion suddenly gathered outside the city gate. Then, the enemy's plan to send people to extinguish the fire was also shattered. After all, the fighters of the Fourth Legion could not have watched the enemy come down to extinguish the fire.

It wasn't until dawn that the fire in the cave of the city gate was extinguished. When Saqqara arrived, he saw a dark gate, and it was not clear how effective the fire was. From a distance, the gate looks like a piece of black charcoal. However, Saqqara couldn't tell if it was blackened or charred.

After a long while, when the soldiers had all had breakfast, Saqqara sent artillery to pull up the 20 Cullen guns, and fired a few shots directly at different positions at the blackened city gate.

Soon, the effect came out - the part under the city gate was smashed directly into a huge hole by the iron ball cannonballs - apparently, the bottom of the city gate was burned out. The upper part of the gate is largely intact. After all, the city gates are so heavy.

But this was enough, Saqqara first asked the artillery to raise the muzzle of the gun, and began to bombard the city, suppressing the Scottish soldiers on the south gate so that they did not dare to raise their heads. Then, the strong man who had just carried a gasoline drum on his back to burn the door came again. This time, he was carrying a powder keg. There was also a small shovel. In addition, he held in both hands a wooden gate that had been removed from a nearby house as a large shield to defend against possible attacks from the city.

Taking advantage of the enemy's lack of daring to raise his head, this demoman named Evan, carrying a powder keg, rushed forward frantically. He was very strong, carrying a powder keg on his back and holding an oak door, and he was able to run. Of course, as a demoman, it is a basic requirement to be able to carry a powder keg. After all, in this era, there is no light explosive pack, only bulky powder kegs. Otherwise, it is not powerful enough.

After entering the city gate, you will not be afraid of the attack from the city. Evan left the oak door on the side and did not immediately bury the powder keg. Because, he has to dig a pit first.

This is because, if sufficient blasting power is required, it is best to bury the powder keg in the middle of the object of the blast. Only then can those things be pushed away when the gas expands after the explosion.

If a powder keg is placed directly on the edge of the intact city gate and ignited, it is estimated that a large amount of gunpowder gas will be blocked after hitting the city gate, and it will choose to pour in the direction outside the city gate, and it will be difficult to destroy the city gate.

Therefore, since Marin formed the demolition team, he first used artillery to blast a hole in the city gate, buried the powder keg in the hole, and then ignited the powder keg to explode and overturn the city gate and the accumulation in the city gate hole.

This time, however, the gates were burned so badly that they could no longer be buried in the holes. Because the entire lower part of the gate was burned down. Therefore, to bury the powder keg this time, it was necessary to dig a hole in the pile inside the city gate and put the powder keg in it.

Evan dug for two or three hours before digging a small hole in the hole in the gate that could hold a powder keg. During the excavation, the masonry piled up in the cave of the city gate also collapsed once, almost injuring Ivan . Fortunately, in the end, he succeeded in digging the hole. He then lit a disc-shaped fuse that circled around (a long fuse would have to be dragged outside the gate hole, where it would be easily doused with water by enemies at the head of the city). So, Marin had a wooden stick with a lot of fuses coiled around it, some like sparse motor coils), and then, holding the oak gate, fled frantically from the gate......

After a while, there was a loud bang in the cave of the city gate - the accumulation in the cave of the city gate collapsed......

"It's now!" Sakara threw away the maple sugar compressed biscuit he was nibbling on for breakfast, drew his command knife, and shouted:

"Sword and shield soldiers, attack!"

Then, a thousand sword and shield soldiers, who had long been ready to attack, rushed towards the blasted city gate.

Behind the sword and shield soldiers were the musketeers. They all use clockwork muskets. But the strange thing is that every musketeer is accompanied by a very strong man, which is incomprehensible.

But soon, the purpose of these strong men was revealed—after storming the city gates, the sword and shield soldiers were at the front, and the enemy was fiercely engaged. Behind the sword and shield soldiers, the strong men carried the musketeers......

Yes, you read that right, it's to carry the ......

After storming into the city, the troops of both sides fought fiercely in the narrow streets. At this time, the musketeers hiding behind could not shoot. Because, in front of them are their own sword and shield soldiers. The best way to shoot an enemy without harming your comrades is to stand on a high ground and shoot.

However, as soon as they squeezed into the city gate, where did they come from a high place for them to stand? If you bring a stool, you can do it. However, it is inconvenient to run with a stool on your shoulder. So, Saqqara directly singled out a group of strong men, asked them to carry the musketeers, and let them aim and shoot the enemy from a high place......

This trick was invented by Marin during the attack on Jävre Castle, and Saqqara can be regarded as a living one. He witnessed the battle with his own eyes. This tactic caused the local resistance to use cold weapons to suffer a great loss. Those who resisted, although they could withstand the sword and shield soldiers in the front row, could not stop the muskets......

Sure enough, the two hundred Scottish plate guards (they are not knights, but they can fight in plate armor and belong to the elite of foot combat) and one hundred French knights who rushed to the front and were fighting with the sword and shield soldiers of the Fourth Legion were unlucky - originally, they were not afraid of the attack of the sword and shield soldiers at all, and they could even suppress the sword and shield soldiers of the Fourth Legion. However, the musketeers in the back row were powerful, and they were also attacked in plate armor......

"Bang-bang-bang-"

The Scottish Plate Guards and French Knights, who were struggling to fend off the swords and shields of the Fourth Legion, were shot and fell to the ground. Even if he didn't die, he was injured and lost his combat effectiveness. Then, the fallen Scottish Plate Guards and French knights were captured.

The Scottish Plate Guards and French Knights, who were temporarily fine, were in a hurry and launched a counter-charge, intending to rush to the Musketeers' side and kill the Musketeers who posed a great threat to them. However, where is it so easy to break through the defenses of the sword and shield soldiers? When it comes to defense, the Sword and Shield Soldiers are definitely among the best in all arms. Therefore, those Scottish plate guards and French knights were in a hurry, and could only be put down one by one by the musketeers carried by strong men.

Counting up, the Fourth Army originally had no musketeers. Because, the original ranged unit of the Fourth Legion was the English longbowmen. However, when encountering an enemy in plate armor (such as a French knight), the longbowmen are a bit out of luck. So, this time, while sending the Cullen cannon, Marin also provided 400 musketeers, which were specially used to shoot and kill the enemy who pierced the plate armor. For example, in this kind of decisive battle on the long street near the city gate, these musketeers made a great contribution. Otherwise, even if those sword and shield soldiers could withstand the attacks of the enemy's plate guards and French knights, it would be difficult for them to push forward. Because, the other party is wearing plate armor, and it is difficult to be injured.

……

Over time, the 200 Scottish Plate Guards and 100 French Knights who were originally responsible for guarding the South Gate were cleaned by the musketeers of the Fourth Legion, and now they are all wounded and lying on the ground. Some of the key points were shot, and they were already hanging. But most of them were only injured and incapacitated, and could only lie down and be carried away as prisoners by the people of the Fourth Legion. Of course, there is also access to treatment.

The most elite 300 plate-piercing ones are all finished, are the rest still opponents? Although several thousand defenders had gathered near the south gate, most of them were civilians with weapons. Seeing that the "knight masters" couldn't stop it, their mentality collapsed......

"Lay down your arms, surrender or kill!" Suddenly, the Fourth Legion roared in unison like a tsunami, in Scottish Gaelic.

The strong men, who were already frightened, dropped their weapons one after another and knelt on the street......

The regular soldiers who were still resisting, seeing that the general situation was gone, took advantage of the chaos and retreated to Edinburgh Castle to the west of the city......

The soldiers of the Fourth Legion tried to stop them, but they were unable to pursue them because they were blocked by the strong men of civilians kneeling in the streets. By the time the army arrived at Edinburgh Castle in the west of the city, the fleeing Scottish regulars had already retreated into Edinburgh Castle......
