After Kidd returned to the Harlingen coalition camp, he reported the results to the nine-member parliament temporarily stationed here, which shocked several noble members.

"There are large-caliber artillery on Texel Island? Kidd, are you kidding?" Baron Ztel's face was full of disbelief.

You should know that the small island of Texel has killed thousands of people. The Friesian Republic is much larger in area (about 6,300 square kilometers) and has a population of more than 200,000.

However, the Friesian noble republic had few artillery pieces, most of which were provided by France, the powerful cast gun powerhouse, and the maximum caliber was only 6 pounds. The island of Texel in a small area had larger caliber artillery, which made Baron Ztel unwilling to believe it.

"If you don't believe me, you can go to the dock to go up to the Viking, which was injured by the enemy's heavy artillery, and take a look..."

Several members of the parliament were unwilling to believe that the artillery was stronger than the ones. So, under the protection of the knights of various inner-domestic families, they went to the dock together and boarded the injured Kirk Sailboat...

"Sir Ztel, look, this is a pit that was smashed by the opponent's shell..." Kid pointed his hand, and a crater on the side appeared in front of everyone...

Fyskefrijheid, who was also Baron Groningen, appeared in front of the crater and gestured with his hands...

The Baron Groningen was the most powerful force in the Friesian aristocratic republic, because Groningen was a Hanseatic alliance city with a large amount of commercial taxes, making Fyskefrijheid's economic strength the most powerful in the republic.

Therefore, the warriors under Fyskefrijheid had the highest armor rate. At the same time, the two largest warships also came from Groningen.

Because he has two large warships with displacement of more than 100 tons, Fyskefrijheid has inspected warships and artillery on the ships many times, so he is more sensitive to the caliber of the artillery...

"Hiss...What a big caliber, it's indeed more powerful than the 6-pound cannon on my ship... Maybe... this is a 12-pound heavy cannon..." Fyskefrijheid calculated silently for a long time in his heart, and said uncertainly...

"12 pounds? Isn't that twice the shells of our largest artillery? It's really a large caliber..." The nine big guys here, Fyskefrijheid, are the most proficient in artillery. He said so, and no one else doubts.

"Kidd, how many heavy cannons do the other party have?" Baron Ztel asked with a depressed face. If he could not capture Texel Island, he would not be able to breathe out and would not be able to steal his own fishermen.

"Eight doors, although they don't look much, if we show our power together, our warships cannot suppress..."

"Don't we have 40 guns? How could we not be able to beat 8 guns?" asked the layman Gist.

"Mr. Congressman, although we have 40 artillery, most of them are two or three pounds small cannons with a short range and low power. Moreover, when we are in artillery battles, we can only use artillery on one side to attack. That is to say, only 20 artillery pieces are put into battle. Although the opponent has only 8 artillery pieces, they are all heavy artillery and have great power and can easily damage the warships. Our small cannons cannot destroy the artillery, so..."

"Since the artillery battle cannot beat the opponent, so do this, Kidd, you pass on my order, give up the artillery battle for the time being, and try a forced login at Thorencher. Remember, just try, don't bet all..."

"Yes, Governor!"

After Kidd returned, he conveyed the order. At the same time, a large number of fishing boats recruited from the seaside by the Friesian noble Republic, carrying a group of spear soldiers, staring at Thorenche's shore defense cannons, and began to forcibly land...

There were a total of 300 people in this group of "death men" who forced to land. They rode on small fishing boats that forced to land in Thorenche.

But the shore defense cannon is not a vegetarian. In the middle of the way, several fishing boats used for landing were directly sunk by 12-pound shells. The side of the fishing boat was already very thin and it was not resistant to hitting. Therefore, it could not withstand it if it was smashed by a 12-pound iron ball.

But in the end, 180 people successfully landed and launched a desperate attack on the town of Thorenche. However, that was useless... because Frenzberg mobilized 100 mesolids and waited...

So, after a crackling sound of fried beans, the 180 Friesian warriors who forced to land were basically lay down...

Among these 180 people, 75 were double-handed swordsmen wearing breastplates and helmets. This type of army is generally an important elite force used to assault on the battlefield.

Generally speaking, ordinary cold weapon battle formations can easily be torn apart under the risk of death by 75 two-handed swordsmen. In the least, they can also allow the Friesian army to gain a foothold on the dock, allowing subsequent troops to continue logging in.

However, today they encountered a line of shooting, and a line of shooting using a super heavy projectile of 50 grams...

When 75 two-handed swordsmen bravely waved the German-handed swords and charged forward, Frenzberg commanded 100 messengers and 33 professional fillers, starting to greet them with ferry guns on the wall near the dock...

The 50-gram projectile was smashed at subsonic speed, causing the Friesian two-handed swordsmen wearing plate armor to fall back by the extremely powerful impact force before they could react. What's more, when the Friesian two-handed swordsmen rushed to the wall near the dock, many Friesian two-handed swordsmen were directly smashed by the 50-gram projectile to fly backwards...

The plate armor with excellent protection in front of the cold weapon infantry is no different from the paper-paste in front of the Mushket musket. Therefore, as long as it is hit by the projectile, there will be no Friesian soldiers who will not be killed or injured.

The only thing to consider is the hit rate of the musket. When the Friesian two-handed swordsman was a hundred meters away, the hit rate of the mezzanine was really touching. When it was within a few dozen meters, it was simply a name-name massacre.

If it were on the flat ground, the brave Friesian infantry might be able to approach the musketeers with courage, making the musketeers uselessness.

However, now the Texel army is on defense. They can stand behind tall walls and use muskets leisurely. Beside them is a group of infantry holding spears and hammers. Whenever an enemy wants to climb up the wall and hurt these musketeers, the infantry next to them will use spears or hammers to knock the enemy down the walls to ensure the safety of the musketeers.

Therefore, when the musketeer is on a favorable terrain such as the city wall, as long as the survival and firepower are guaranteed, the lethality will be doubled...

This is like the "WYN Siege" in 1529. The Austrians used only 74 combroach guns. After the Turks blasted the gap in the WYN city wall, they used ferry guns to bomb the Turks who were trying to break into the gap, ensuring the safety of WYN and dragging the reinforcements to the arrival of reinforcements... After this battle, the Turks learned lessons, learned from Europe, and created a good-quality "Lumi Gun" and spread it to the Ming Dynasty...

Seeing the 300-squad-like warriors instantly breaking on the dock and near the dock, the officers of the Friesian army looked very bad.

This also made them realize that Thorenche's defense was very tight. It not only had the strong counterattack power brought by heavy artillery, but also the counterattack power of the near infantry on the ground.

Before, Marin spent tens of thousands of gold coins to surround the two major cities of Denburg and Thorenche on the island, which greatly facilitated defense.

If Thorenche did not have a tall wall, once the Friesian two-handed swordsmen approached, the musketeers would become the mustard of grass cut and killing these elite infantrymen.
