Dublin Castle was built in 1204 on the order of the then King George of England to store the treasures he collected in Ireland and to garrison heavy troops.
This strong fortress built on the south bank of the Liffey River has always been an important stronghold for British rule in Dublin, and Dublin is an important city for British rule over the entire Ireland.
More than six hundred years have passed, and Dublin Castle has experienced countless wars, and even suffered a serious fire that resulted in the loss of more than half of the castle.
However, with the strong financial support of the British, the fortress became stronger and larger each time it was rebuilt, and eventually it became a symbol of British rule in Ireland.
The successive Irish governors appointed by the Queen were all senior British nobles, and they spent half of their time working in this castle every year.
Therefore, Dublin Castle is not simply a military fortress, it is an administrative center and image representative. As long as the British flag over Dublin Castle is still flying, it proves that the United Kingdom is still ruling Ireland.
But at this moment, Dublin Castle was in panic. Just a few minutes ago, the defenders guarding the fort suddenly noticed countless figures pouring out from the southwest. No one could see clearly at first, but in an instant, there were strange movements in the darkness. He suddenly gave an order.
Less than fifty meters outside the fortress, hundreds of torches were suddenly lit, and Irish people swarmed everywhere.
"Oh God! It's Irish thugs... Raise the drawbridge!"
At this moment, there were only more than a hundred defenders left in Dublin Castle, and the rest were all taken away by Major Fell to suppress the rebellion. Who would have thought that there would be Irish people who dared to attack here at this time.
"Don't panic! The main force of the rioting Irish has been suppressed by the major. Those damn mercenaries are almost dead. The remaining Irish are unarmed. What are there to be afraid of?"
"Close the city gate and pull up the drawbridge. These thugs only have a few medieval bows and arrows. You are nothing to be afraid of..."
At the moment when the commander stabilized the morale of the soldiers, there was a crisp snap in the middle of the torch, and a bullet flew past his ear.
The British soldiers present were so frightened that they broke out in cold sweat, "There are guns...these Irish people actually have weapons!"
This is a horrific scene that the British cannot imagine. There are dense gunfire in the port area, and now gunfire is also heard in Dublin Castle. Where did these Irish people get so many weapons?
At this moment, a burst of fanatical roars suddenly broke out from the city: "Long live Ireland! Long live independence! Capture Dublin Castle! Kill..."
In the darkness, thousands of people broke up and began to charge forward. There were constant sounds and lights of musket shooting in the crowd. Some people even carried out long ladders in the light and shadow of torches.
"Irish people unite...fight!"
"Long live Young Ireland! Long live independence!"
A roar like a mountain roaring and a tsunami shook the surrounding areas, and Dublin Castle suddenly became a mess. The soldiers on the city wall began to fire non-stop, and the limited number of old artillery also opened fire.
Boom boom boom... The explosion tore open holes in the crowd, and the broken corpses were thrown into the air. The rifles on the city wall could hit the secretly numb Irish rebels below without even aiming.
But these Irish people have gone crazy. More than a thousand warriors who are not afraid of death are fighting back while carrying ladders and rushing upwards. There are countless figures rushing here in the darkness.
"Crazy, these Irish people are crazy, aren't they afraid of death..." After all, the defenders only have more than a hundred people, and no matter how sharp the weapons are, they can't match the power of the heavy machine guns of later generations. As long as the attackers are willing to die, five You can reach a distance of ten meters in an instant.
When the ladder was put up on the castle wall, the British defenders suddenly missed the past years. In the Middle Ages, Dublin Castle had blocked countless Irish attacks.
At that time, there was a moat under the city wall, as well as countless traps, flaps, and burning trenches filled with asphalt. The city wall was lined with archers, and the Scottish longbowmen could kill hundreds of thugs in a single volley.
But these are gone. With the development of the times, no one uses those old methods to defend the castle anymore. Even they do not believe that the Irish with bare hands will attack Dublin Castle.
"It turns out that all this is a trick by the Irish... They deliberately set fire to the city. In fact, their purpose is here. They want to capture Fort Ireland... Ask for help, ask Major Fell for help. We can't stop them for long, let them retreat... …”
Whoosh whoosh... Fireworks calling for emergency help soared into the sky and exploded in the night sky. At the same time, the attacking Irish were approaching the city wall, and one bomb after another was thrown onto the city by the brave grenadiers. Head, a raging fire ignited instantly.
Even those who were strong enough could throw the gun over the city wall directly into the interior of the castle. The stables, kitchens, storage rooms, miscellaneous rooms... all the buildings close to the outer city wall were set alight.
"Hahaha... God punishes these British guys... for climbing the city! Rush up and kill all the British guys!" Six temporarily tied ladders were set up on the top of the city, and the brave Irish people started climbing up with various weapons.
The British defenders never expected that in the darkness below the city, countless young-faced Irish youths were holding rifles and steadily suppressing fire. They had cold eyes and strong psychological qualities, and they were protected by the entire Irish people. the future of the nation.
Young Ireland Party!
"The historical opportunity has been placed in front of us. Seize him and use war to force Britain to grant us autonomy!"
"If we want a better life, we have to fight for it! The harder we fight now, the more we will get in the future... Warriors, form a death squad... rush over and burn the city gate!"
If Pierre could see the scene now, he would know the brilliance of the Head of State and King Yi. The organizational ability of these Shabab and the trade union are completely different concepts.
These young men who had sacrificed their blood for the Irish people during the famine, as long as they raised their arms, no Irish people would have the slightest doubt.
This is reputation, the reputation gained from practical bloody battles!
Once the banner of the Young Ireland Party was raised, the scale of the riots immediately escalated, and now it really felt like a major uprising.
Dublin Castle was burning, and at the same time there were several other armies outflanking the battlefield. Max, the lawyer who had just parted with King Yi, had now become the commander of more than a thousand rebel troops.
They took away the most weapons and the strongest soldiers, and headed straight to the dock area to outflank Major Fell's army.
"Quick, quick, quick... Our reinforcements are bleeding, everyone speed up, rescue, emergency rescue!"
"From now on, this uprising will be led by us!"
