The next day, the Celts used a tentative team of 3,000 men, and after dropping more than a thousand corpses, they retreated in panic to end the day's fighting.

In this way, although the soldiers were all happy, they looked forward to the next war as well.

But Sir John was not pleased, the smell of temptation here was so strong that even if he was repulsed, there would be nothing to rejoice about.

Sure enough, on the third day, the Kate gave a big one to the people of the castle.

On this day, the sun revealed half of their faces from the sky, and the early morning dew wet the collars of the soldiers standing guard, and when the cool breeze blew, they suddenly felt cold and shivered.

But everyone didn't dare to slack off, outside the castle, tens of thousands of troops stayed neatly in the camp, eyeing the tiger, the slightest loophole could give the castle a devastating blow, and there was no room for mistakes.

The soldiers standing guard felt that the castle was slightly shaken, and looked ahead, an endless black phalanx was slowly approaching, and at the forefront, five siege vehicles proudly announced to them that the real war was coming.

Soon, the news spread throughout the castle, and everyone climbed the walls to watch the scalp-numbing moment.

Sir John looked at the five siege engines, and his face changed dramatically, and his face was full of hatred.

"Attention, everyone, shoot me to the people near the siege engine, shoot hard!"

Tens of thousands of people could not line up in front of the castle, but surrounded the entire castle, as if looking for its weakness.

However, the siege vehicles came directly to the city gate and attacked vigorously.

"Boom—Boom—" Bows and arrows from the walls were hurled downward, taking away one Celtic after another who were guarding the siege caravan.

But, for each of them, there were two or three screaming Kate warriors, wielding stone axes or spears, trampling on the corpses of their predecessors, and surging forward one after another.

Soon, in less than half an hour, five heavy siege engines arrived at the city wall, and on the arrow towers on the siege vehicles, the Celtic archers also looked at the soldiers on the city wall, and took the lives of the soldiers with one arrow after another.

This, much to Sir John's annoyance.

He let people shoot siege vehicles on the one hand, and archery towers on the other, and for a while, the soldiers on the entire city wall were a little flustered.

Finally the arrow tower was lost, but Sir John found that the Celts had climbed the city wall step by step along the siege engine, although only a few were scattered.

However, the power of example is endless, and those Kate people showed the spirit of not being afraid of death, and tried to climb the city wall in the face of a rain of arrows.

If you look at it from the outside, a string of humanoid echelons has been formed and is constantly climbing upwards, and under the city walls, more Kate people are gathered and are lining up.

It can be said that the person who climbs the city wall and falls down may not be able to die, because there are several people helplessly paving under him.

It can be expected that, if nothing is done, it will only be a matter of time before the main fortress is captured.

Seeing such a picture, Sir John was taken aback, and his whole person was a little bad.

"Quick, everyone, resist me! Resist! Sir exclaimed, "Quick, let the musketeers come out, let them support!" ”

The heralds faithfully fulfilled their duty, and in less than a moment, three hundred musketeers, marching in orderly steps, came to the crowded city walls.

The soldiers moved their pace, exposing the brave and invincible Celts who had climbed the walls to the sight of the musketeers.

With an order, the muskets rang out in unison, followed by a puff of smoke, and then most of the Kate who had climbed the city wall fell in an instant.

The rest of the men did not show the slightest sense of flinching, but shouted unintelligible words and rushed towards the musketeers.

Immediately after that, the first row retreated, the second row forward, ignited, and another salvo fired.

This time, the remnants of the Kate finally fell, and just when everyone breathed a sigh of relief, hundreds more climbed up.

Then the musketeers began to fire again, and the entire city wall was suddenly filled with smoke, and it was difficult to breathe.

In this way, on the third day, a tug-of-war began on the city walls, and it was very hard.

In the evening, when the Kate finally withdrew, the people on the city wall exhaled heavily, patted their chests, and sighed with emotion.

But Sir John did not care about resting, but led people to inspect the entire city wall, and by the way to boost morale.

"Don't worry, we'll win!" "In a few days, reinforcements will arrive, hold on!" "Think of your own family, they are in the city, for their sake, you must persevere!"

Just a few words, Sir John said back and forth, and the tour was over, and it was nine o'clock in the evening.

He almost collapsed in his seat, panting with exhaustion, and then swallowed the bread in a big gulp, and then drank a sip of hot soup regardless of the image, and the whole person was more relaxed.

Fortunately, there is no shortage of food in the castle, otherwise it would be really difficult.

"Sir, how many days will our gunpowder and arrows last?" Taking a breath, Lord Sir asked his armoryman.

"My lord, this is exactly what I want to say, today day, we have consumed a third of the arrows and half of the gunpowder, if we continue today's intensity, it will last three days at most!"

"The weekly output of the workshops in the city is only enough for one day today, my lord, please be modest!"

Sir John smiled at his own armourer's words, he wanted to be temperate, who would have expected the Kate to be so ferocious, and on the first day he forced out the musketeers, completely breaking his plan.

"Sir, you're an ordnance officer, and you should know a lot about weapons, so do you have any ways to deal with siege engines?"

Today, Sir John was impressed by the five siege engines, which were simply siege weapons and made him miserable.

"Huh!" The ordnance officer's old-fashioned face showed a thoughtful look, and after thinking for a while, he had a hint of joy.

"My lord, there are still twenty barrels of fire wine stored in the warehouse, and the fire is strong enough to burn those siege engines!"

When he was reminded, Sir John was overjoyed, and then bitter.

If you don't have alcohol, what will you do in the future?

The next day, under the strange gaze of the soldiers, Sir John brought twenty barrels of wine, and the smell of wine on the city walls was so great that the noses of the people twitched.

Then, five siege engines arrived, and under the bitter gaze of the soldiers, Sir John ordered wine to be spilled on the siege engines, and twenty barrels of wine were spilled clean.

And the Kate people at the bottom thought it was raining, and when they looked up, it was wine that fell into their mouths, a high concentration of wine, and a smile suddenly spread on their faces, and the siege vehicle was finally completely soaked.

The savages whined and writhed in the wine.

Seeing this, Sir John sneered, and dozens of torches fell in unison.

In an instant, all the siege vehicles burst into flames, and the fire was so fierce that the surrounding Kates couldn't dodge.

And those who were covered in wine also burned, and ran on the ground with a scream, and from time to time pulled innocent people to try to save them.

Who knows, one contagious two, originally dozens of people were on fire, but hundreds of people were on fire, and the miserable screams sounded numb.

After burning for more than an hour, the siege engines burned cleanly, leaving only some ashes.

Seeing such a picture, Sir John finally knew that there were still so many doorways in the defense of the city, and his posture had increased.

So, when he returned to London, Sir John wrote a diary of his conquest in Ireland, and solemnly explained in detail the functions of fire attack and fire wine not only to drink, but also to kill enemies.

Not only did he become an authority on the defense of the city, but he also unexpectedly increased the sales of Spirits.

Then, with the destruction of the siege engines, Sir John, who had held out for a week, finally waited for reinforcements of 5,000 men, thwarting the last counterattack of the Irish.

From then on, the Irish had no choice but to accept the rule of the Tudor royal family.
