The Fourth Legion's actions did not arouse the suspicion of the Scottish defenders, because the other party focused on the group of swords and shield soldiers carrying the ladders of the siege. In their opinion, the swords and shield soldiers carrying the ladders were the biggest threat to Edinburgh Castle. Moreover, the musketeers were also blocked by the wooden door shield, and the defenders on the top of the city did not see clearly.

When the sword and shield soldiers carefully put the ladder onto the city wall, the Scottish defenders on the city were indeed nervous. They all emerged, trying to push the ladder down. Or, holding weapons, staring at the enemy troops who might climb up below.

Isaac saw many enemy troops emerging and said excitedly:

"Yes, that's it!"

Then, with his order, the musketeers who were originally hiding behind the wooden shield stood up straight and aimed the muskets at the defenders on the city...

"Bang-Bang-Bang-Bang-Bang-Bang-"

After a gunshot, dozens of Scottish defenders fell to the ground on the top of the city, either dead or injured. Anyway, they lost the ability to continue fighting.

Logically speaking, the Scottish defenders who were shot should have retreated immediately at this time. However, the Scottish defenders were stunned. Why? It was raining heavily, how did the other party successfully open fire?

But I was stunned, the second wave of shooting is coming...

"Bang-Bang-Bang-Bang-Bang-Bang-"

Another gunshot, dozens of people fell from the city...

If you are interested in statistics, you will find that these two rounds of shooting have reduced the number of Scottish defenders on the city by more than 100...

At this time, Shaw Bernard, the general of the defender on the city, on the top of the city, realized:

"Let's go down, just lie down! Don't show your head!"

The Scottish defenders who reacted shrank back one after another and did not dare to show up again.

But the Fourth Legion did not intend to stop. Seeing that the defenders were all turtles, Sakara was very dissatisfied. At his signal, the adjutant waved the battle flag, and the leader of the sword and shield soldiers under the city wall immediately understood. So, the sword and shield soldiers of the Fourth Legion under the city wall started to clamor again, as if they were about to attack the city head.

The defenders on the top of the city could no longer sit still. The Scottish soldiers, who were impatient, poked their heads out in panic, trying to see what was going on. Then, a few unlucky guys were fooled by the musketeers under the city...

Shaw Bernard's head was covered with black lines, and he shouted:

"Don't show up easily!"

Then, he felt that he could not be beaten so passively. So he ordered:

"Archer, shoot under the city, mainly to attack the enemy's musketeers! Remember, don't show up!"

Then, the archers of the Scottish defenders squatted there with bitter faces and shot into the sky, hoping to confuse the musketeers under the city. Although it affects the performance of the bowstring on rainy days, it is still okay to confuse the Musketeers of the Fourth Legion 30 meters away. After all, they are at a high place.

However, even if the bow and arrow fall to the position of the Musketeers of the Fourth Legion, it is useless. Because the Musketeers are all wearing plate armor. Moreover, there is a wooden door and a large shield in front of them.

However, some bows and arrows with a long range happened to be trapped by the Fourth Legion infantry behind the musketeers. After all, those infantry did not have plate armor or large shields. Then, a few unlucky guys were caught...

Sakala hurriedly commanded the ordinary infantry to retreat and avoid the enemy's bow and arrow coverage area. After seeing the enemy dare not show up, Sakala decided to take a gamble...

So he ordered the sword and shield soldiers who were pretending to be under the city wall to really start climbing the ladder, intending to carry out a raid...

As a result, hundreds of swords and shield soldiers really climbed onto the top of the city...

But this is useless, because the Scottish guards and French elite soldiers on the top of the city are even more elite. In competition with martial arts, these sword and shield soldiers are no match for each other. Then, they are knocked down from the city walls, causing serious casualties and injuries.

Sakala was furious, but after he calmed down, he stopped this unnecessary death. It was very difficult for ant siege to attack the city, let alone the siege to attack the city at the dangerous gate. Even if it could be captured, the casualties were extremely huge. Therefore, Sakala, who calmed down, temporarily withdrew the sword and shield soldiers. However, the musketeers continued to aim at the top of the city and attack any enemy who dared to emerge. Then, both sides played the game of "Who is more calm" - one side "waiting for the rabbit", while the other side did not emerge...

Although the Scots were very calm, they suffered a great loss today. There were only about 900 defenders, and more than 100 casualties were killed or injured at once, which was simply a trauma.

...

And the Fourth Legion also had more countermeasures - for example, sending the strong men from the city to dig stone slabs under the city gate...

Hangland, the captain of the sword and shield soldier who went to test the attack, discovered something - on a rainy day, the stone slabs laid on the ground under the Edinburgh Castle gate seemed to be loosened by the rain...

If it is sunny, it will be very difficult to dig up the stone slabs. But if it is rainy...

So, the next day, the Fourth Legion captured hundreds of strong men, took the iron picks for mining, and went to the gate of Edinburgh Castle to pry stone slabs. The Musketeers of the Fourth Legion were still aiming at the top of the city and shooting any enemy who dared to emerge.

In desperation, Scottish defender commander Shaw Bernard decided to throw stones down from the tower above the city gate...

The stone thrower may not need to stand up, just throw the stone down from the battlement gap. In this way, hundreds of strong Scottish men who pried the stone slabs under the city gate were killed by more than a dozen people. The rest were so scared that they scattered.

But Sakara made timely adjustments - only sent four people to retreat into the outside of the city gate hole to continue to pry the stone slab. Because the Scottish defenders on the top of the city gate were immediately caught blindly. Because the stones they threw from the city gate hole could not turn around and hit the people inside the city gate hole...

It was almost time to pry open the stone slab under the city gate, but he was so meow that it was sunny the next day...

Then, the enemy's artillery and grenade guns on the top of the city began to show their power again. In desperation, the Fourth Legion had to retreat.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Fortunately, it was raining again four days later. Then, within three days, while it was raining, several strong Scottish men finally pried out the stone slabs under the gate of Edinburgh and dug a deep hole.

After the sky cleared, the blasting team buried a powder barrel while the night and finally exploded the gate of Edinburgh Castle...

...

Afterwards, the Fourth Legion rushed into Edinburgh Castle with enemy artillery fire and started a fierce street battle with the defenders in the castle.

The defenders inside were worthy of being the Scottish guards and French elites. Under their tenacious resistance, the Fourth Legion suffered 200 casualties before attacking through the gate, occupying the front yard of Edinburgh Castle and the walls with artillery.

Scottish Prime Minister Alice and other civil officials who worked in the front yard surrendered, but John Stewart, Queen Margaret and others led the remaining defenders to retreat to the backyard at the westernmost end of Edinburgh Castle and continued to resist stubbornly.

Although the Fourth Legion used the old method to blow up the gate of the inner courtyard, dozens of casualties still occurred when they rushed in. It was not until the commander of the Musket Battalion took action and killed John Stewart, who was supervising the battle in front of the formation. The remaining defenders finally lost their fighting spirit and surrendered one after another...

Looking at John Stewart's body, Sakara laughed proudly. But soon, he couldn't laugh...

"What? You said Queen Margaret ran away on the cliff under the escort of a dozen French knights?"

"Yes, we found ropes for their escape from the city walls in the northwest corner of the castle. Moreover, the scouts used telescopes to observe, and no trace of their group could be seen!" The infantry captain responsible for searching for the backyard of the palace reported.

"Chasing quickly, send scout cavalry to chase! You must catch that little bitch and smash it!" Sakara was so angry that she was almost crazy.
