The Rise of the European Emperor

However, his warning was meaningless. Why? Because it's useless to shout...

There were a lot of Scottish soldiers on the top of the city, but they could only stand on the top of the city and watch. Because the city gate is below, it is not easy for them to save. What's more, the city gate has been blocked from the internal test.

What's worse is that the city gate is shrunk in the city gate hole. Some soldiers on the top of the city brought water basins and watered them down. As a result, because the city gate was shrunk in the city gate hole, it could not be poured.

In fact, even if the water in the basin is poured on the fire, it is useless. Because this is burning gasoline, water is inextinguishable.

When the commander at the top of the city was planning to send people down the city to put out the fire, a group of people from the Fourth Army suddenly gathered outside the city gate. Then, the enemy's plan to send people to put out the city was also dashed. After all, it is impossible for the soldiers of the Fourth Army to watch the enemy come down to put out the fire.

It wasn't until it was daylight that the fire in the city gate cave was extinguished. When Saqqara came, what he saw was a pitch-black gate, and it was unclear how the effect of the fire would be. From a distance, the gate looks like a piece of black coal. However, Saqqara was not sure whether it was blackened or charred.

After a while, when the soldiers had all had their breakfast, Saqqara sent artillerymen to pull up the 20 Karen cannons and fired a few shots directly at different positions of the charred city gate.

Soon, the effect came out - the part below the city gate was directly smashed into a huge hole by the iron ball cannonball - obviously, the bottom of the city gate was burnt out. The upper half of the city gate is largely intact. After all, the city gate is so thick.

But this was enough. Saqqara first asked the artillery to raise the muzzle and start bombarding the city head, suppressing the Scottish soldiers on the south gate tower so that they dared not raise their heads. Then, the brawny man who just carried a gasoline can to burn the door came again. This time, he was carrying a powder keg. And a small shovel. In addition, he held a wooden door removed from a nearby residential house as a large shield with both hands to withstand a possible attack on the city head.

Taking advantage of the fact that the enemy did not dare to raise his head, this Demoman named Evan, carrying a powder keg, ran wildly forward. His body is very strong, he can run with a powder keg on his back and an oak door in his hand. Of course, as a Demoman, being able to carry a powder keg by back is a basic requirement. After all, in this era, there is no portable explosive pack, only cumbersome powder kegs. Otherwise, the power is not enough.

After entering the city gate hole, you are not afraid of the attack on the city head. Ivan kept the oak door aside and did not immediately bury the powder keg. Because he has to dig a hole first.

This is because, if sufficient blasting power is required, it is best to bury the powder keg in the middle of the blasting object. Only then can those things be pushed away when the gas expands after the explosion.

If a gunpowder barrel is placed directly on the edge of the intact city gate and ignited, it is estimated that a large amount of gunpowder gas will be blocked after hitting the city gate, and it will choose to pour out of the city gate, making it difficult to destroy the city gate.

Therefore, since Marin formed the blasting team, he first used artillery to blast a hole in the city gate, then buried the gunpowder keg in the hole, then ignited the gunpowder keg and let it explode, overturning the city gate and the gate hole. of the accumulation.

However, this time the city gate was burned so badly that it could not be buried in the hole. Because the entire lower half of the city gate was burnt down. Therefore, to bury the powder keg this time, it was necessary to dig a hole in the piles inside the city gate and put the powder keg in.

Ivan dug for two or three hours before digging out a small hole that could accommodate a gunpowder barrel from the piles in the city gate hole. During the excavation, the masonry piled up in the city gate cave collapsed once, almost injuring Evan. Fortunately, he finally succeeded in digging a hole. Then, he ignited a circular fuse (if a long fuse is used, it needs to be dragged outside the city gate, and it is easy to be doused by the enemy at the front of the city with water. Therefore, Marin had people use A wooden stick with many fuses coiled on it, some like sparse motor coils), then, holding the oak door, frantically escaped from the city gate...

After a while, there was a loud noise in the city gate cave - the piles in the city gate cave collapsed...

"It's now!" Saqqara threw away the maple syrup biscuits she was nibbling on for breakfast.

Pulling out the command knife, he shouted:

"Knife and shield soldiers, attack!"

Then, a thousand shield soldiers, who were already ready to go, rushed towards the blasted city gate hole.

And behind the sword and shield soldiers, the musketeers. They use clockwork muskets. But the strange thing is that every musketeer is accompanied by a very strong and strong man, which makes people unclear.

But soon, the purpose of these strong men was revealed. After rushing into the city gate, the sword and shield soldiers stood at the forefront and fought fiercely with the enemy. And behind the sword and shield soldiers, those strong men carried the musketeers...

Yes, you read that right, it's to carry...

After rushing into the city, the armies of both sides fought fiercely in the narrow streets. At this time, the musketeers hiding behind were unable to shoot. Because, in front of them are their own comrades-in-arms with swords and shields. If you want to shoot the enemy without hurting your comrades, the best way is to shoot from a high place.

However, just squeezed into the city gate hole, where did they come from the high place for them to stand? If you bring a stool, it is also feasible. However, it is inconvenient to run around with a stool. Therefore, Saqqara directly selected a group of strong men, let them carry the musketeers, and let them aim and shoot the enemy from a high place...

This trick was invented by Marin when he attacked Yevre Castle, and Saqqara can be considered to be learning and applying it. He had witnessed that battle with his own eyes. This tactic made the local resisters who used cold weapons suffer a great loss. Those who resist, although they can withstand the sword and shield soldiers in the front row, they can't stop the muskets...

Sure enough, the 200 Scottish plate guards (they were not knights, but could wear plate armor and belong to the elite infantry) and 100 French knights, who were at the forefront, were fighting against the sword and shield soldiers of the Fourth Legion. Damou - Originally, they were not afraid of the sword and shield soldiers in plate armor, and they could even press the sword and shield soldiers of the Fourth Legion to fight. However, when the musketeers in the back row showed their power, they were also hit by the plate armor...

"Boom-boom-boom-"

The Scottish plate guards and French knights, who were struggling to resist the sword and shield soldiers of the Fourth Legion, fell to the ground one after another. Even if he didn't die, he was wounded and lost his combat effectiveness. Then, the fallen Scottish plate guards and French knights were captured.

Those Scottish plate guards and French knights who were temporarily okay were anxious, so they launched a counter-charge, trying to rush to the Musketeers and kill the Musketeers who were a great threat to them. However, where is the defense of the sword and shield soldiers so easy to break through? In terms of defensive power, sword and shield soldiers are definitely among the best in all arms. Therefore, those Scottish plate guards and French knights had no choice but to be brought down one by one by the musketeers who were carried by strong men.

After all, the Fourth Army originally had no musketeers. Because, the original long-range arms of the Fourth Legion were the English longbowmen. However, when faced with enemies in plate armor (such as French knights), the longbowmen are somewhat helpless. Therefore, this time, while sending the Karen Cannon, Marin also provided 400 musketeers, which were specially used to shoot and kill the enemy who pierced the plate armor. For example, these musketeers made great contributions to the battle on the long street near the city gate. Otherwise, even if those sword and shield soldiers can withstand the attacks of the enemy's plate guards and French knights, it would be difficult for them to move forward. Because the opponent is wearing plate armor, it is difficult to be injured.

...

With the passage of time, the 200 Scottish plate guards and 100 French knights who were originally responsible for guarding the southern city gate were cleaned up by the musketeers of the Fourth Army, and now they have become wounded lying on the ground. Some critical hits have already died. But most of them were just wounded and incapacitated, and could only lie down and be carried away as prisoners by the people of the Fourth Army. Of course, treatment is also available.

The most elite 300 plate armorers are finished, are the rest still opponents? Although several thousand defenders gathered near the South Gate, most of them were civilians with weapons. Seeing that the "Master Knights" couldn't stop them, their mentality collapsed...

"Put down your weapons, surrender and don't kill!" Suddenly, the Fourth Army roared in unison like a tsunami, in Scottish Gaelic.

The strong men, who were originally timid, dropped their weapons and knelt on the street...

And those regular soldiers who were still resisting, seeing that the situation was over, retreated to Edinburgh Castle in the west of the city...

The soldiers of the Fourth Legion wanted to stop them, but they were unable to pursue them when they were blocked by the strong civilians kneeling all over the street. By the time the army arrived at Edinburgh Castle in the west of the city, the Scottish regular soldiers who escaped had already retreated into Edinburgh Castle...
