The day after Marin arrived in Lübeck, the day the Boussa coalition set out, a spring rain suddenly began to fall in the sky. Naturally, the farmers are happy because God is helping them to irrigate their wheat fields. But Marin couldn't be happier. Because, the arquebus can not be used......

This is a very serious problem, because if Marin's arquebus loses its effect on a rainy day, then the urban offensive and defensive battles are purely cold weapon battles. The previous offensive and defensive battle in Dublin fully proved this. On rainy days, Edward's arquebusiers were completely ineffective and lost their superiority in firepower. The shelters they tried to build to protect against the rain were all burned down by rockets in England when the rain stopped. This detail, Sahi, which Marin had installed in Edward's army, had already written a detailed report.

Seeing that the Bossa coalition was coming, if the problem of not being able to fire on a rainy day was exposed, Frederick III's shrewdness would definitely take advantage of it.

Therefore, Marin must find a solution in time......

In the drizzle, Marin strolls through the foot of the city walls of Lübeck and sees soldiers pitching their tents in the clearing. On the side of a street, a family of residents and soldiers got into an argument.

Marin hurried over to see what was going on......

It turned out that because there was no more open space at the foot of the city wall, the three warriors set up their tents on the street. It was nothing, but the problem was that their tent blocked the door of a resident...... And so, the dispute happened......

In the end, Marin nevertheless ordered the fighters to move their tents. He personally supervised the three fighters and carried them away from the small military tents where they lived......

"Carried away...... Marin suddenly thought of something, and stood there stunned......

After a long while, Marin slapped his head and laughed:

"Haha, I've figured it out!"

Marin learned from the scene just now that since the musketeers only need shelter when it rains. When it doesn't rain, you can lift up the shelter and take it away......

Edward's army was more rigid against the British, building thatched huts on the city walls to protect them from rain. When it rains, you can certainly let the musketeers continue to shoot. But when it wasn't raining, he didn't tear it down. The British army still got it at a glance? Rockets were fired directly from the English longbowmen, and the thatched huts were burned. Edward, on the other hand, had to keep building thatched huts, as there weren't that many building materials in the city. And to build a stone house at the head of the city, not to mention the material problem, even the construction period is also very long and inconvenient. Moreover, that investment is also huge......

But Marin realized from the scene just now that since the musketeers only need to protect themselves from the rain when it rains, why not get a movable shelter to protect the musketeers from the rain?

When it rains, they carry it up the walls for the musketeers. When it doesn't rain, carry it down...... Anyway, there are a lot of people......

Rockets can indeed burn down the tents that keep out the rain, but when the rain stops, let Minzhuang carry it down, and it doesn't make sense for you to launch rockets......

Thinking of this, Marin immediately went to Tagfacht, the speaker of the Lübeck Chamber, to discuss the matter. Originally, Marin had planned to make a batch of large parasols similar to those used in later generations to set up stalls. However, in this era, there were no umbrellas in Europe, and there were no craftsmen and accessories to make them. By the time the craftsmen have developed the umbrellas, the battle may be over.

Then, Marin considered using a tent. However, there is a problem with the tent. The tent was made of fabric, and it could not withstand the bow and arrow. Enemy bows and arrows can't use rockets to burn tents when it's raining. However, arrows can also shoot through tents. Once the tent fabric is cut by a sharp arrow, it has no effect against the rain......

Marin also thought of building a masonry hut on the city walls, but it was too long. Seeing that the enemy army arrived in a few days, it was necessary to find a way to do it as soon as possible......

Marin's fingers tapped on the table with a muffled sound. Then, Marin's gaze couldn't take his eyes off the table......

Suddenly, Marlin got under the table, put his fingers together, and made a shooting pose:

"Bang-" Marin also gave a dubbing in his mouth. On the side, Karn, who was acting as a bodyguard, was stunned. He couldn't figure out why Marin would suddenly burrow under the table and make childlike movements. So, an idea popped up in his heart - is the young master crazy?

But Marin quickly got out from under the table, and then slapped the table all over the place and said:

"In this form, it can block the rain and the arrows that are thrown!"

Then Marin hurried to the residence of the Grand Speaker of Tagfacht. When Karn saw this, he hurriedly chased after him—he was worried that Marin was crazy, so he wanted to follow and see......

Fortunately, Marin was not crazy, he just went to the Speaker of Tagfacht to discuss the urgent construction of a wooden plank shed......

Marin designed a kind of plank shed, which was open at the front and back, with a plank top and four legs. And the sides are hung with cloth. Cloth is hung on both sides to protect against rain. The planks above the head were designed to protect against the archers under the city.

The archers below the walls could not shoot directly at the musketeers who had the cover of the battlements, and could only shoot at a curve. And the bow and arrows, most of them, came down from above. Therefore, if you want to resist, it is better to use a wooden board on it.

This rectangular plank shed could accommodate two people, and the one in front was naturally a musket shooter. The latter person was responsible for loading the musketeers. Each plank shed, placed in a lookout, was convenient for shooting.

Moreover, because the arquebus had to shoot down from the wall. Therefore, this kind of wooden plank shed, in the front, there is also a board to the front, in order to keep the arquebus out of the rain and avoid the arquebus from moisture.

Because only the roof and the four brackets were made of wood, and only rags on both sides were used to keep out the rain, this kind of wooden shed was not only convenient for shooting on rainy days, but also easy to move. Two people can go down the city wall or carry it up.

Soon, under the arrangement of the Grand Speaker of Tagfacht, the carpenters of Lübeck made a sample. After testing, this plank shed was very beneficial for arquebus shooting on rainy days. Moreover, it is also convenient to take it down. As a result, this humble wooden shed is called a movable shooting shed.

Immediately after the successful test, the Grand Speaker of Tagfacht ordered the carpenters of a dozen shipyards in Lübeck to make every effort to build shooting sheds for this activity, so that the arquebusiers of Marin could shoot on rainy days.

In addition, on weekdays, the rectangular shed of this kind of activity can also be used as a single tent if the front and back are hung with cloth to block the wind, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

As for whether a few thousand movable shooting booths can be built in a few days? That's not a problem at all. Because, Lübeck was the shipbuilding center of this era, with more than a dozen shipyards and thousands of shipbuilders. And every shipbuilder is an excellent carpenter. Besides, shipyards don't have too much wood to store......

As for the cost? Is it a big deal for the wealthy Lübeck?

In this way, thousands of shipbuilders gave up their shipbuilding tasks and found suitable timber from the shipyard to build this improvised movable shooting shed. In addition, the Speaker of the Tagfacht Assembly ordered the city's residents to donate rags that they did not use at home, and the city hall organized women to sew the rags together into large cloths to cover the sides of the movable shooting shed......
