The Rise of the European Emperor

Seeing that the British artillery had run away, Sahi pouted helplessly. Now that the artillery that was the most threatening to the city head ran away, Sahi began to look for a new target.

With a glance, Sahi suddenly saw Richard Pohl's flag and the heavy cavalry surrounding Richard Pohl.

"It's a big fish!" Sahi got excited. As a veteran who participated in the battle of Lyle County, Sahi knew the key points of the battle. In that battle, the Saxon army failed because the high platform on which Albrecht, Duke of Saxony was standing, was knocked down by a cannonball, and the flag fell. Although the Duke of Albrecht was not killed by the cannonball, Marin took this opportunity to loudly spread the rumor that "the Duke of Saxony is dead", and then the Saxon army collapsed...

"If I can kill the commander-in-chief of the British army with one shot, will the British army also collapse?"

So, Sahi asked the French artillery under his command to turn the muzzle and aim at the British flag. Sahi took out the plumb and restarted positioning, making sure the muzzle and target were in a vertical orientation. Then, Sahi commanded the French artillery and began the school shooting...

After several school shots, the cannonball finally approached the small phalanx headed by Richard Pohl. This time, the unlucky one was a plate knight in the front row...

I saw the 12-pound iron ball hit the knight's chest in an instant. Although wearing sturdy plate armor, it was as soft as bread in the face of a fast-flying 12-pound iron ball. I saw the sturdy steel plate armor, under the impact of the iron ball cannonball, smashed the originally protruding chest plate into the deep hole. At the same time, there was a cracking sound from the knight's chest cavity - obviously, the knight's sternum was smashed...

The 12-pound iron ball didn't seem to be satisfied. After smashing through the front breastplate, it hit the rear breastplate again, and a huge bulge was removed. Subsequently, the knight's body was also thrown up by the huge impact of the shell, and smashed to a group of infantrymen on the side, until it knocked over several infantrymen...

"No, Chris!" Richard Boll, who was beside the handsome flag, shouted in fear after seeing the knight flying up. Because the knight named Chris is his nephew...

Richard Bohr quickly rushed to the knight's side and asked with concern:

"Chris, how are you?"

The knight opened his mouth to answer, but with one mouth, he spat out some broken bones and internal organs:

"Uncle, I... I'm afraid I can't do it anymore, please, help take care of my mother and sister..." After struggling with the last bit of strength to say this, Knight Chris tilted his head and hung up. However, even if he was dead, blood was still pouring out of his mouth, and the bloody water was also mixed with shattered internal organs...

"No—" Richard Pohl cried bitterly. Richard's sister is married to an ordinary knight, and Chris is their only son. Now, Chris followed Richard Pohl to participate in this battle, obviously gilded. Unexpectedly, he died in the city of Dublin.

At this time, the knights on the side were anxious, and they hurriedly advised:

"Sir, the enemy's artillery is aiming at us, please retreat quickly. If you are hit by the enemy's artillery, the consequences will be disastrous!"

Richard Pohl was sad, but he knew his men were right. So, he took his nephew's body and withdrew back...

Seeing that the enemy commander escaped unscathed, Sahi was very unconvinced. But he didn't know that the French artillerymen around him had regarded him as a god.

Although there are many French artillery, the French artillery is not equipped with Wangshan behind the gun body. Therefore, their aim is mostly based on eyesight and experience. And the lead vertical line aiming method used by Sahi, although not as precise, at least does not shift left and right. Next, it is the adjustment of the elevation angle of the artillery and the adjustment of the charge.

Although there is a big gap between the graduates of the literate artillery academies who can use rulers and protractors to calculate, but the aiming method used by Sahi is much more accurate than that of French artillerymen.

Charge avoids lateral errors. Therefore, those old French artillerymen want to worship Sahi as their master.

What they didn't know, however, was that Sahi had seen this and had understood that his artillery aiming method had been leaked. So, he has already planned in his heart to find a way to kill these French artillerymen after the war, lest they bring this simple aiming method back to France...

As the flag moved back, the morale of the British army also dropped sharply. Seeing that nothing could be done, Richard Pohl simply ordered the entire army to retreat, pulled it to a safe distance that the artillery couldn't reach, and began to set up camp.

In the next few days, Richard Boll made several tentative attacks, all of which were neatly beaten back by the musketeers at the top of the city. Until one day, it suddenly rained...

On this day, Earl Edward's defenders, whether muskets or artillery, all misfired...

Discovering this situation, Richard Bohr's morale was boosted, and he began to order a full-scale siege. However, there were not many defenders in the city. Although the British army climbed the wall without fear of death, they could not escape the fate of being knocked off the wall in the end.

But at least, the British army was able to compete fairly with Ireland on a rainy day, instead of being slaughtered unilaterally... So, the two sides began to fight back and forth...

However, when the rain stopped, the British army was at a disadvantage again...

In this way, the British army and the defenders of Earl Edward fell into such a vicious circle - when the weather was sunny, both sides exercised restraint and ignored each other. Because, in such weather, the British army is destined to suffer.

But when the weather was cloudy and rainy, the British army attacked the city frantically as if they had been beaten with blood. Every time the weather is cloudy and rainy, the city of Dublin will be screaming and screaming. Above and below the city walls, there are broken limbs and broken arms everywhere, and blood is mixed with blood flowing down.

However, no matter how hard the British army tried, they could not completely get the garrison of Earl Edward. Because, although the British army came with 20,000 troops, the 7,000 longbowmen were only good at archery. Therefore, the main force of the real siege was another 13,000 people.

However, the defenders of Earl Edward in the city, in addition to the previous 8,000 men, also had 2,800 men sent by Marin, a full 10,800 veterans. In addition to the two or three thousand conscripts in the city, the main battle force is no less than the British army. In the absence of a numerical advantage, the British army could not break through the city defense of Dublin at all.

It's just that Richard Ball didn't know it yet, and thought there were only 8,000 people in the city. Apart from the 2,000 musketeers, there should be only 6,000 soldiers. But what he didn't know was that there were actually 2,800 more enemies than this number, and that was not counting the 2,000 or 3,000 levies. Although the strength of the levies is not strong, but relying on the solid city wall, their combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated. In this way, the two sides fell into a stalemate...
