6 2, XVII | opinions are true, and whether artillery has increased or diminished

11 2, XVII | men attack in mass, the artillery will not stop them; and
12 2, XVII | in a wall where there is artillery, they go to a certain death,
13 2, XVII | death, for against them the artillery is of value: but when they

31 2, XVII | anciently because of the use of artillery, I say that it is true that
32 2, XVII | as they can be reached by artillery in every place, and it is
33 2, XVII | that any were killed by artillery, since Monsignor De Foix
