The Irish were defeated, hammered back after an epic pair of battles around dublin.

They had 1 city left which I decided not to attack on the grounds it couldnt afford a decent sized army to fight me. The Welsh, who had previously been my allies attacked dublin a year or so after its capture.

Dublin had been reinforced with Cannon Towers...

It had a sizeable force in it but it was outnumbered by about 300 men. Welsh had mostly Spearmen and Archers plus 2 general units.

It was split into 2 forces, main force behind the city with no siege equipment. secondary force with 1 battering ram to the front. The battering ram had alot of Infantry and a general behind it. It was a massacre. The column was a sitting duck for the cannon towers and archers on the walls. Oh sure they broke the gate down but when you break a gate down and get boiling oil in the face, arrows from murder holes and then run into a forest of pikeman, you question the wisdom of doing it.

That army was quickly killed and it was a 15 minute wait for the second , larger force to walk round the city, being cannoned part of the way. It charged the gate the odd unit at a time and was brutally punished for it. Even as the battered, scatted remnants of the Welsh Army tried to run the cannons were brutally slaying them as they ran.

Not one survived the battle.
