When Yi, Britain and France were waiting for news from Ireland, Dublin, Ireland, there was an earth-shattering offensive and defensive battle......

Richard. After Pol led 20,000 troops to Dublin, he was a little dumbfounded when he saw the big iron gates in Dublin. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoOriginally, he brought a batch of artillery over, and he also wanted to come up with a way to shell the city gate + blow up the door. However, after trying to bombard for a few rounds, it was found that the iron ball shells could not deal with the big iron gate at all, so they simply gave up.

Then, 7 thousand longbowmen, in Richard. Bol, under his command, began to throw at the city. Suddenly, dense arrows, like torrential rain, poured down on the city. However, because of the reminder of the spies of the North Sea Chamber of Commerce, not only the 2,000 musketeers under Count Edward have changed into half-body plate armor, but other troops have also prepared door panels......

Yes, door panels! Earl Edward saw that "Jonathan", the representative of the North Sea Chamber of Commerce, blew up the gates of Wicklow with a door panel, so he was very fond of the door panel shield. After receiving the news that the British army had gathered a national longbowman to attack, the Earl of Edward sent men to cut down all the trees around Dublin. First, it is to make the carpentry in the city work into door panels to resist bows and arrows. Second, it is also to prevent those trees from becoming materials for the British army to make engineering equipment.

As an English nobleman, Earl Edward was taught the prowess of English longbowmen from an early age until he was imprisoned in the Tower of London. Therefore, Count Edward attached great importance to the English longbowmen. When the English longbowmen began to take turns throwing arrows at the defenders at the head of the city, "door panels" were erected all over the city......

Although the English longbowmen were powerful, they stood at a distance from the city walls and threw them, and the farther away they were, the lower the kinetic energy of the arrows. What's more, the thrown bow and arrow, shot from the ground to the city, because of the different heights when falling, the kinetic energy has not been fully released, so the power is greatly reduced. Originally, the long arrows that could shoot through the chain mail could not shoot through the door panels......

In desperation, Richard. Bol had no choice but to order the longbowmen to move forward, intending to shoot at close range. In this way, the kinetic energy of the arrow can be lost a little less, and the arrow penetration can be a little stronger.

However, unexpectedly, when the longbowmen approached the distance of a hundred meters of the city wall, many people wearing plate armor suddenly stood up on the head of the city...... Musketeer......

Previously, the English longbowmen were too far away for the musketeers to aim. So, he simply sat on the ground at the head of the city, did not raise his head, and waited quietly.

But as soon as the English longbowmen were found to be in range, the 2,000 musketeers in half-plated armor stood up one after another, and aimed their longbowmen at the longbowmen in the front row, which had already been loaded......

"Pap-pap-pap-pap-pap-"

After a burst of gunfire like fried beans, many of the English longbowmen fell to the ground and began to howl, although the muskets hit low......

The arquebuses that Marlin provided to Count Edward were relatively small in caliber and weighed 30 grams, which was about the same weight as the later British flintlock flintlock pistol, the "Brown Bes" flintlock pistol. The weight of this bullet is very reasonable, and it is enough to hit those "iron cans" that wear plate armor.

30 grams of buckshot can even be beaten with a tin can, not to mention those English longbowmen who wore at most some chain mail? Therefore, after a few rounds of shooting, the English longbowmen in the front row suddenly fell by hundreds.

Moreover, the hundreds of people who fell were all seriously injured. Because, after the spherical lead bullet enters the human body, it is easy to cause rolling, making the wound become very large, and blood sprays outward. Often, a 30-gram lead bullet, although less than 20 mm in diameter, can cause a wound the size of a bowl, which looks very serious. Of course, it's actually very serious.

It can be said that a warrior who has been hit by an arrow and has a stronger will can continue to fight. However, it is difficult for a person who has been hit by a 30-gram buckshot to continue fighting......

In other words, the more than 100 English longbowmen who fell in the front row, except for the dozens of people who were directly killed, the others were definitely unable to return to the battle. Even if you survive, not to mention lead poisoning, such a big scar is easy to make those longbowmen say goodbye to the battlefield completely.

In the beginning, Richard. Pol didn't care. However, when the musketeers at the head of the city finished their second round of reloading, there was another three-stage shot. Then, a hundred or so more British longbowmen were shot and fell to the ground, and let out a terrible howl.

Richard. Pol immediately realized that something was wrong, and he could see that the enemy musketeers at the head of the city, because they wore plate armor, his longbowmen could not help them, but they could hurt the longbowmen...... This, this is too much of a loss......

Moreover, it takes more than ten years for a longbowman to be trained...... As a result, the longbowmen immediately retreated......

Next, Richard. Pol sent sword and shield soldiers to erect siege ladders, intending to force their way to the top of the city. However, for musketeers, those wooden shields that could withstand bows and arrows were vulnerable to muskets. Musket bullets first break the wooden shield, and then damage the sword and shield soldiers. Moreover, the shield of the sword and shield soldier is not the shield of the big shield soldier, and it can only protect the chest part, and cannot block the head and legs at all. As the Blademen climbed the walls, the musketeers were within ten meters of them. At this distance, the musketeers could basically aim with ease......

Then, with a flurry of "ah", "ah", "ah", "ah...... screamed, and the sword and shield soldiers fell from the siege ladder like dumplings. The musketeers defending the city were too invincible. What's more, these musketeers even wore half a set of plate armor, which was simply open......

Looking at the corpses of hundreds of sword and shield soldiers under the city, Richard. Pol wanted to cry without tears. However, he is not incompetent. At this moment, he suddenly remembered the artillery that was originally intended to be used to bombard the city gates......

The range of the artillery was longer than that of the muskets, and the musketeers in plate armor could not withstand the bombardment of the artillery. So, he set up the batch of 30 light guns that were originally intended to be used to bombard the door and aimed them at the head of the city......

"Boom-boom-boom-" After a burst of cannon sounds, sure enough, a few unlucky musketeers were directly hit by the iron ball cannonball, and they were directly finished.

However, at the same time, on one side of the wall, Sahi (Jonathan), a demoman sent by Marlin to Edward's army, was leading a group of French artillery to deploy the 20 heavy guns that Marlin had given to Count Edward, aiming at the British artillery positions......

In this era, in addition to East Friesland, it was probably France that had the most artillery and artillery. In order to support the confrontation between Count Edward and the British army, Louis XII not only sent a large amount of gunpowder and shells, but also sent a group of experienced artillery to support Count Edward's army.

Taking advantage of the power of the British artillery, Sahi, who knew how to aim artillery, used the simplest line to make the direction of the muzzle of the artillery and the enemy's artillery position in a straight position. Then, it was time to adjust the angle of the gun up and down and the amount of charge......

At first, only one artillery was fired, and the British did not care. But when the calibration was completed, the other guns used the same angle and charge, and the power finally exploded......

The 20 12-pounder front-loading bronze cannons suddenly roared in unison. 20 iron balls smashed fiercely at the British small artillery position......

At this time, the British artillery was still paying attention to the front wall. But those musketeers weren't stupid. After a few were taken away by the cannonballs in the first round, they all crouched down, covered by the city wall, and they couldn't do anything with the iron ball cannonballs.

Just as the British artillery was thinking about how to hit the enemy troops in the city, on the side, 20 12-pounder guns had already been aimed at them. Moreover, Sahi was very cunning, and only one cannon was used when firing, and the other barrels were placed on the head of the city without being erected. Therefore, for that one gun, the British army directly ignored it. But after calibration, the barrels of the other 19 guns were set up according to their positions, and then they were positioned in a straight line with plumb plumbs and adjusted to the same angle and charge as the first gun. Then the blows to the positions of the British artillery followed......

What is the concept of a 12-pound iron ball? That's a corpse! Before several British artillerymen could react, several 12-pound iron balls roared and smashed over, some were hit in the head, and then the whole head flew off, and after a while, blood sprayed up from the chest.

Some are smashed through the chest, such a big hole, which can transmit light. Then everyone saw his internal organs......

There are also unlucky people who are directly smashed off their arms or legs. The victim was stunned for a moment, and then under the stimulation of severe pain, he let out an earth-shattering scream. At the same time, the position of the arm or leg, blood spurts wildly......

After a few rounds of firing, more than 30 of the hundreds of artillery members of the British army were killed. Moreover, there was a 12-pound iron ball, which directly pierced through three artillerymen, which was very terrifying.

Under the suppression of the heavy artillery at the head of the city, the surviving artillery of the British army, despite the threat of the commander, turned around and ran away......
