Seeing the British artillery running away, Sahi curled his lips helplessly. Since the artillery that poses the greatest threat to the city has run away, Sahi has begun to look for a new target.
With a glance, Sahi suddenly saw Richard Pole's flag and a number of heavy cavalry surrounding Richard Pole.
"It's a big fish!" Sahi became excited. As a veteran who participated in the Battle of Lyle County, Sahi knew the key points of the victory or defeat of that battle. The reason why the Saxony army failed in that battle was because the platform where the Duke of Saxony Albresit was standing was accidentally destroyed by a shell and the flag was also collapsed. Although the Duke of Albresit was not killed by the shell, Marin took this opportunity to spread rumors loudly that "the Duke of Saxony is dead", and then the Saxony army collapsed...
"If I could kill the British commander with one shot, would the British army collapse?"
So Sahi asked his French artillery to turn the muzzle and aim it at the British commander's flag. Sahi took out a plumb and started positioning again to ensure that the muzzle and the target were in a vertical direction. Then Sahi commanded the French artillery and began shooting...
After several shootings, the shells finally approached the small square formation led by Richard Pohl. This time, the unlucky one was a plate-armored knight in the front...
The 12-pound iron ball hit the knight's chest instantly. Although he was wearing a strong plate armor, the plate armor was as soft as bread in front of the fast-flying 12-pound iron ball. The sturdy steel plate armor, which was originally protruding under the impact of the iron ball shells, was smashed deep into the chest. At the same time, a "cracking" sound came from the knight's chest cavity - obviously, the knight's sternum was smashed...
The 12-pound iron ball seemed to be unsatisfied. After smashing the chest armor in front, it hit the chest armor in the back, and a huge bulge was pushed out on its back. Then, the knight's body was thrown away by the huge impact of the shells, hitting a group of infantry on the side until it overturned several infantry...
"No, Chris!" Richard Pole, who was beside the handsome flag, shouted in fear after seeing the knight flying up. Because the knight named Chris was his nephew...
Richard Boer quickly rushed to the knight and asked with concern:
"Chris, how are you?"
The knight opened his mouth and replied, but when he opened his mouth, he spit out some broken bones and internal organs:
"Uncle, I... I'm afraid I can't do it anymore. Please help me take care of my mother and sister..." After saying this with the last bit of strength, Knight Chris tilted his head and hung up. However, even though he died, blood was still emitting from his mouth, and the blood was mixed with shattered internal organ fragments...
"No--" Richard Boer shouted in pain. Richard's sister married an ordinary knight, and Chris was their only son. Now, Chris came to participate in the battle with Richard Boer, and it was obviously gilded. Unexpectedly, he died in the city of Dublin.
At this time, the knight next to him became anxious and they hurriedly persuaded:
"Sir, the enemy's artillery is aiming at us. Please retreat quickly. If you are hit by enemy's artillery, the consequences will be unimaginable!"
Although Richard Pole was sad, he knew his subordinates were right. So he took his nephew's body and retreated backwards...
Seeing that the enemy commander escaped, Sahi was very dissatisfied. But he didn't know that the French artillery beside him had already regarded him as a god.
Although there were many French artillery soldiers, the French artillery did not fit in the back of the gun. Therefore, their aiming was mostly based on their eyes and experience. Although the plumb vertical line aiming method used by Sahi was not so accurate, it would at least not shift left and right. Next, it was the adjustment of the elevation angle of the artillery and the adjustment of the charge.
Although there is a big gap between those graduates of the artillery academy who are well-educated in later generations who can use rulers and protractors to calculate, the aiming method used by Sahi is much more accurate than the sight of French artillery soldiers, and charge avoids lateral errors. Therefore, those old French artillery soldiers want to worship Sahi as their master.
However, what they didn't know was that when Sahi saw this situation, he understood that his artillery aiming method had leaked. So he was already planning in his mind that he would find a way to kill these French artillery after the war, so that they would not bring this simple aiming method back to France...
As the commander's flag moved backward, the morale of the British army also dropped sharply. Seeing that things were not done, Richard Poll simply ordered the entire army to retreat, and pulled the safe distance that could not be bombed by artillery and began to set up camp.
In the next few days, Richard Pole conducted several tentative attacks, but was cleanly shot back by the musketeers on the city. Until one day, it suddenly rained...
On this day, Earl Edward's defenders, whether they were muskets or artillery, were all gone...
After discovering this situation, Richard Boer was greatly inspired and began to order his full strength to attack the city. However, there were not many defenders in the city. Although the British army climbed the city wall without fear of death, they could not escape the fate of being knocked down.
But at least, the British army was able to compete fairly with Ireland on rainy days, rather than being unilaterally massacred... So the two sides began fighting back and forth...
However, when the rain stopped, the British army was at a disadvantage again...
In this way, the British army and Earl Edward's defenders fell into such a vicious circle - whenever the wind was sunny, both sides maintained restraint and ignored each other. Because in such weather, the British army was destined to suffer losses.
But when it rains, the British army was sieging the city like a chicken blood. Every time it rains, there would be a shout of killing at the top of Dublin city, and there were broken limbs and broken arms everywhere, and blood mixed with blood flowing downwards.
However, no matter how hard the British army tried, they could not completely deal with Earl Edward's defenders. Because although the British army had 20,000 troops, the 7,000 long bowmen were only good at shooting archery. Therefore, the main force in the real attack was still 13,000.
However, in addition to the previous 8,000 troops, the defenders of Earl Edward in the city also had 2,800 soldiers sent by Marin, with a total of 10,800 veterans. In addition to the two or three thousand recruits in the city, the main combat force was no less than that of the British army. Without the advantage of numerical numbers, the British army could not break through Dublin's city defense at all.
