八 New Bayi Chinese Website—﹃A Collection of Online Novels to Read

The actions of the Fourth Army did not arouse the suspicion of the Scottish defenders, because the other side focused their attention on the group of swords and shields carrying the siege cloud ladder. In their view, the sword and shield soldiers carrying the ladder are the biggest threat to Edinburgh Castle. Moreover, the musketeers were also blocked by the wooden shield, and the defenders above the city did not see clearly.

When the swordsmen and shields carefully set the ladder on the city wall, the Scottish defenders on the city's head really got nervous. He heads up one after another, trying to push down the ladder. Or, holding a weapon and staring at the enemy troops that might climb up below.

Isaac saw a lot of enemy troops, and said excitedly:

"Yes, exactly!"

Then, he ordered, the musketeers who were hiding behind the big shield of the wooden door with their cats on their waists, straightened their bodies and aimed the muskets at the defenders above the city ...

"Bang bang"

After a burst of gunshots, dozens of Scottish defenders were shot on the ground and were injured or killed. Anyway, I lost the ability to continue fighting.

It stands to reason that the Scottish defenders who were shot at should be retracted immediately. However, the Scottish defenders were suddenly stunned. Why? It was raining heavily, how did the other party successfully fire?

But in such a shock, the second wave of shooting came ...

"Bang bang"

There was another shot, and dozens of people fell over the city ...

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

At this time, the defending general at the head of the city, Scottish Guards Captain Shaw, only reacted:

"Get down, get down! Don't stand up!"

The reacting Scottish defenders shrank back, and dared not show up again.

However, the Fourth Army did not intend to end. Seeing that the guards were all shrinking turtles, Saqqara was very dissatisfied. At his signal, the adjutant waved the battle flag, and the leader of the Sword and Shield soldiers immediately understood. As a result, the Swords and Shields of the Fourth Legion under the city wall clamoured again, and a pair was about to attack the head of the city.

The defender on the head of the lower city could not sit still, and some of the impatient Scottish soldiers panicked out their heads, trying to see what had happened. Then, some unlucky eggs were caught by the musketeers under the city ...

Bernard Shaw's head full of black lines saw him loudly:

"Don't take your head easily!"

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

"Archer, shoot down the head of the city, mainly against the musketeers of the enemy! Remember, don't stand up!"

Then, the archers of the Scottish defenders, with their faces bitter, squatted there, projected into the sky, thinking about the musketeers under the city. Although it affects the bowstring performance in rainy days, it is okay to want to cover the position of the 4th Legion Musketeers 30 meters away. After all, they are high up.

However, even if the bow and arrow fell to the position of the Musketeers of the Fourth Army, it was useless. Because, the musketeers are wearing plate armor. Moreover, there is a large wooden door shield in front.

However, some bows and arrows with very long ranges happened to be caught by the infantry of the Fourth Army behind the musketeer. After all, the infantry had neither plate armor nor large shields. Then, a few bad luck eggs were caught ...

Saqqara quickly commanded the ordinary infantry to retreat, avoiding the enemy's bow and arrow coverage area. After seeing the enemy dare not show his head, Saqqara decided to gamble ...

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

As a result, there were literally hundreds of swords and shields climbing up the city ...

But this is useless, because the Scottish guard and French soldiers on the city head are more elite. Comparing martial arts, these swords and shields are not opponents. Then, they were beaten down one after another, causing serious casualties.

Saqara was so angry that he calmed down, but after calming down, he stopped this useless act of death. Ant Attached Siege is already very difficult, not to mention this kind of Ant Attached Siege in danger. Even if it can really be attacked, the casualties are extremely huge. Therefore, Sakala, who calmed down, temporarily withdrew the Sword and Shield soldiers. However, the Musketeers continued to aim at the city's head, fighting against any enemy troops that dared to take their heads. Then, the two sides played the game of "who is more suffocated".

Although the Scots were very calm, they suffered a big loss today. Originally, there were only about 900 defenders, and more than one hundred casualties were killed and injured.

...

On the side of the Fourth Army, there are more countermeasures. For example, send the strong men in the city to dig stone slabs under the gate ...

The captain of the Swords and Shields who went to test the attack, Henglan, discovered something rainy. The stone slabs on the ground under the gate of Edinburgh Castle seemed to be loosened by the rain ...

If it is sunny, trying to dig up slate will be very difficult. But if it's rainy ...

So, the next day, the Fourth Army captured hundreds of strong soldiers, took the mining iron pickaxe, and went to pry the stone slab under the gate of Edinburgh Castle. The Musketeers of the Fourth Army are still aiming at the city head at all times, shooting any enemy troops who dare to show their heads.

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

The stone thrower does not necessarily need to stand up, as long as he throws the stone from the gap of the battlement. In this way, hundreds of Scottish soldiers who pryed the slate under the city gate were killed by dozens of people. The rest were scared away.

But Saqqara made adjustments in time and only sent four people to indent the outside of the gate to continue prying the stone. As he retracted into the gate hole, the Scottish defenders above the city suddenly caught blind. Because, the stone they threw from the head of the city can't turn and hit the people in the city gate ...

Seeing that the stone slab under the city gate had to be pried open, but he was meowing, it was clear the next day ...

Then, the artillery and arquebuses of the enemy troops in the city began to show power again. In desperation, the Fourth Army had to retreat.

Fortunately, it rained again four days later. Then, within three days, while it was raining, several Scottish strongmen finally pryed out the slab under the gates of Edinburgh and dug a deep hole.

After the sky cleared, the blasting team buried the gunpowder barrel at night, and finally blew open the door of Edinburgh Castle ...

...

Afterwards, the Fourth Army rushed into the Edinburgh Castle with the enemy's artillery fire, and launched a fierce street battle with the defenders in the castle.

The defenders inside are worthy of the Scottish Guards and the elite of France. Under their tenacious resistance, the Fourth Army paid 200 casualties ~ www.novelhall.com ~ before attacking from the gate and occupying Edinburgh The castle's front yard and artillery walls.

The Scottish Prime Minister Ales and other officials who were in the front yard all raised their hands and surrendered, but John Stewart and Queen Margaret and others led the remaining defenders and retreated to the westmost backyard of Edinburgh Castle to continue their resistance .

Although the Fourth Army used the old method to open the gate of the inner courtyard, but could burst into it, there were still dozens of casualties. It wasn't until the commander of the Musketeering personally shot and killed John Stewart, who was in front of the battle, that the remaining defenders finally lost their fighting spirit and raised their hands to surrender ...

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

"What? You said that Queen Margaret ran away with rope rope cliff under the **** of a dozen French knights?"

"Yes, we found the ropes they used to escape the city and the cliff outside the wall at the northwest corner of the castle. Moreover, the scouts looked through the telescope and they could no longer see the trail of their group!" The Infantry Captain Hui reported.

"Fast chase, send scout cavalry to chase! Be sure to catch the little **** and smash it!" Sakala was going crazy.

You know, after attacking Edinburgh this time and killing John Stewart, he was deemed to have completed the important task of destroying Scotland. However, the escape of Queen Margaret was quite fatal. Because Queen Margaret is the only bloodline of the Tudor dynasty in England. Once escaped by her, someone will definitely use her to make a fuss and add to the chaos in England. Therefore, his mission was only half completed. Of course, if you can catch up with Queen Margaret, you can atone for your sins ...
