#cannons
Are we really sure?Can a love that’s lasted for so long still endure?
And I’ll send you wings so you can meet me on the moon tonight
One of my favorite artists of all time who I found this year. Please listen, this music is like taking narcotics. I feel like a floating goddess listening to them
I was high as the moon - falling down to you
I was a sea of stars shining bright for you
All these bright lights…they got me losing my mind
Sick of talk talk talkin about it
Music means the world to me and I can’t live without it. Some of my favorite artists include Cannons, Mild Orange, Alina Baraz, Crumb, Notaker, The Midnight, and War on Drugs. DM me for my favorite songs/albums and let me blow your mind.
Contrary to popular notions of set piece clashes filled with dashing cavalry charges and tens of thousands of soldiers, sieges were every bit as important as battles in the English Civil Wars - and that’s where cannons came in handy!
.
Both sides possessed their own ‘siege trains’ of varying sizes – slow-moving convoys of cannons, their crews, impressed ‘pioneers’, and siege experts that would travel separately to the main army and would be called upon to lay siege to an enemy fortification while the larger force moved on. These trains could include a wide variety of different guns, from ‘cannon royal’ to ‘culverins’, 63-15 pounders, and mortars of various sizes.
.
Sieges could be a costly business, both in terms of resources and manpower. In his 1671 treatise Observations, George Monk – who had fought on both sides in the English Civil War – wrote “Every Commander knows that mans flesh is the best fortification that belongs to a Town; and where a Town is well manned, the best way of taking it is by Starving; and when a town is weakly manned, the best of taking it is by Battery and Assaults, or by Approaches, Mining, Battery, and Assaults”
