Game of Thrones: Attack on the North Wolf

Chapter 125 Coup
The commander in chief to the south of Riverrun City is the Acting Lord of Riverrun City, Edmure.

However, due to the wide and long city wall to the south of Riverrun City, and there are several circular towers in the middle of the city wall, blocking sight.

If there is only one commander, it is impossible to see the overall situation, which will lead to loopholes in command.

So he dispatched in the center, letting the Earl of Raventree City, Tytos Blackwood, and Earl Piper of Pink City assist in the defense on the left and right sides.

Lord Tytos had a short gray beard, an aquiline nose, and shoulder-length hair.On his tall and thin body, he often wears an ornate cloak woven from crow feathers.

He is a warrior with rich experience in the battlefield, and he is extremely loyal to the Tully family. Even though his own Raventree City was turned into scorched earth by the Lannister family, he still loyally led his troops to stay in Riverrun without complaint.

At the same time, he also has a strong affection for the Stark family. Once, under the call of the Duke of Horst, he participated in the Battle of the Usurper, fought side by side with Ed Stark, and was saved by him .

As for Earl Piper, he was the one who abandoned Earl Vance under the Golden Tooth City and fled with his troops alone.

However, he certainly wouldn't say that when he returned to Riverrun, but told Edmure that he fought bravely, and in the end the Lannister family had too many troops, so they had to gather the remnants and retreat tactically.

Since his eldest son, Sir Marq Piper, is one of Edmure's best friends, Edmure trusts him without hesitation, and entrusts him with the important task of assisting in the defense of the city.

For Edmure's order, Earl Piper had 1 reluctances in his heart, but in order to maintain his heroic image, he could only accept the order to defend the city with a smile on his face.

Huh, huh, huh!
After pushing the siege tower through the corner of Riverrun, the army from the Western Territory directly entered the right side of the city wall defended by Earl Tytos.Without any hesitation, he ordered the archers to draw their bows and shoot in volley.

Duh, duh, duh!
Arrows kept shooting at the siege tower, but the soldiers from the western region above were already clinging to the edge of the siege tower, leaning over to hide in the rawhide-covered siege tower, and did not suffer too much damage.

This group of siege army united by various families in the western region was obviously inferior to the Lannister family in terms of equipment, so the arrows that fell among the crowd still had a good effect.

But on the entire south wall, there were less than 500 soldiers defending it, and even less than [-] archers.

Compared to the 5000-strong siege army that was overwhelmingly dark under the city wall, the damage caused by the rain of arrows was basically negligible.

Gollum, Gollum!
Huh, huh, huh!
When the dozens of siege towers were pushed to the front of the south wall and stopped shaking, the archers of the Western Region army hiding in the siege towers immediately stood up and began to shoot at the south wall.

The archers on the walls of Riverrun and the archers on the siege towers in the west began to shoot at each other.

Since the siege tower was built higher than the city wall of Riverrun, the archers on the siege tower in the west had an obvious shooting advantage.At the same time, the other western archers who had entered the shooting range began to shoot upwards under the city wall.

However, there are at most seven or eight archers standing on a siege tower in the western region, and the strength and accuracy of the arrows fired from the bottom up are very poor, so the battle between the archers for a while is very close to each other. between.

When the archers of our own side were suppressing, the western infantry approaching under the city wall firmly leaned dozens of siege ladders against the city wall, and the heroic siege soldiers immediately climbed up the ladder, wanting to fight for the first to climb the city. reward.

However, benefits and risks are directly proportional!
Whoo, whoo, whoo!
What greeted them was countless stones from top to bottom, blood and brains splashed everywhere, and the first batch of heroic siege soldiers simply died under the city wall.

As the frequency of dropping stones on the city wall decreased, the siege soldiers had slowly climbed to the upper part of the siege ladder, approaching the walls of Riverrun.

Two Riverrun soldiers who had already been prepared to defend the city, waited for the western border siege soldiers to climb to the end.

At the same time, use the 'Y'-shaped fork stick in your hand to fork the left and right sides of the left and right siege ladders, and then push back suddenly.

what!what!
Bang!
The seven or eight siege soldiers on the siege ladder that was successfully pushed out fell heavily on the hard ground amidst exclamations.

The siege soldiers who did not climb high under the siege ladder were fine, and basically did not suffer any serious injuries, but the two or three siege soldiers at the front were lying in a pool of blood that was slowly oozing, twitching non-stop.

An unlucky archer under the city wall was just hit by a siege soldier who fell from the sky, and both of them fell to the ground, life or death unknown.

Gollum, Gollum!
Due to the large difference in numbers between the two sides, on the walls of Riverrun City, the archers defending the city were gradually suppressed.The siege tower was activated again and began to move closer to the city wall.

"Get ready to throw oil!"

Earl Tytos gave orders to his messenger with a calm expression, then seemed to remember something, grabbed the messenger who was about to leave, and continued,
"By the way, remember to inform Lord Edmure and Earl Piper of this order over there."

"As ordered!"

The lord Edmure doesn't know the details of his vassals, but the vassals know each other very well.

Tytos was worried that there would be a problem with the section of the city wall guarded by the ambitious Edmure and the cowardly and useless Earl Piper, so he made a special announcement.

When the siege tower moved to about five meters away from the city wall of Riverrun, the western infantry hiding on the second floor of the siege tower, armed with swords and shields, swallowed nervously.

Originally, there was always the sound of arrows shooting at the siege tower, but now it stopped strangely and became quiet.

It was this unusual quietness that made the tension in their hearts soar to the peak.

Bang!
The siege tower reached about two meters from the city wall of Riverrun. The archers on the top of the tower cut off the strong ropes tied to the left and right sides, and the thick baffle on the top of the siege tower directly hit the city wall of Riverrun.

Ah!
The siege soldiers hiding on the second floor let out the tension in their hearts by roaring. As soon as the baffle fell, they stepped on the thick baffle that became a springboard and rushed towards the city wall of Riverrun.

Huh, huh, huh!
crackle!

The archers who had been waiting for them immediately drew their bows and released their arrows,

At the same time, the defenders of the city, holding clay pots stuffed with burning cloth strips in their hands, threw these freshly ignited pots at the group of western soldiers who were about to climb the walls of Riverrun.

Most of the arrows were blocked by the western infantry with shields, but the clay pots that hit them shattered in an instant, and the black oil in the pots immediately spread all over the shields and the western infantry.

what! ! !
The flames on those cloth strips directly ignited the black oil, and the western infantry who rushed out of the siege tower first turned into human-shaped torches.

Two soldiers who were covered in fire panicked and jumped directly from the siege tower.The others jumped towards the city wall of Riverrun with their bodies covered in flames.

呲!
As soon as these western soldiers jumped onto the wall, several guards of Riverrun City with spears stabbed them directly off the wall.

A soldier on fire luckily avoided the spear attack and stepped onto the city wall of Riverrun. The spear guarded the infantry behind him, and the sword or sharp ax in his hand directly chopped him to pieces.

In the middle area of ​​the south wall of Riverrun, Edmure, completely ignoring his own danger, was personally participating in the battle with a long sword in his hand.

He has reddish-brown hair, is of medium build, but looks mighty with a beard.At this moment, from the appearance, his brave fighting posture looks a bit like a fierce general.

However, these are to ignore the elite guards of Riverrun who surround him layer upon layer.

The soldiers of the Western Territory Army came down from the siege tower, and it was difficult to break through these elite guards with extraordinary martial arts skills, and came to Edmure's side.

However, these personal guards who know Edmure's character well, from time to time let go of a western soldier who has been severed or seriously injured, and let Edmure in the inner layer pick up the head.

But Edmure, who had killed the enemy bravely, would not think so. Stimulated by the blood at this moment, he was enjoying the thrill of killing with high emotions, completely forgetting his duty as the commander-in-chief at this moment.

Whoo, whoo!
Earl Piper hid behind a few guards with shields, and he watched with shortness of breath, the western infantry who had passed the siege tower and started to climb the city wall.At this moment, he has once again sprouted the heart to escape.

Originally, he had always had the idea that Lannister was invincible, but now there were enemy soldiers above the city wall, and the dense siege soldiers below the city wall were getting closer and closer to the top of the city wall.

In his opinion, it doesn't matter who rules the Riverlands, as long as the loyalty is fast enough.Then, the ruler will still care about the dignity of the nobles, and his Pink City will eventually return to his family's hands.

It's just that this time the situation is different from last time. If they run away, Riverrun City will be defeated.If he wins, then he will definitely be held accountable by the emperor. In the best case, he will just put on black clothes and join the night watchman.

call out!
While Earl Piper was thinking wildly in fear, a stray arrow shot in from the gap in the guard's shield, passed by Earl Piper's ear, and just pierced the throat of a tall entourage beside him.

Slightly, slightly!
The tall attendant who was coughing up blood seemed to want to say something to Earl Piper, but he didn't make a sound after all, and fell limply on the ground.

Earl Piper watched his entourage die with a pale face, his mentality completely collapsed.The arrow almost killed him.

Indeed, on this battlefield, the arrow doesn't care what your identity is!

correct!

Seeing the enemy arrows stuck in his own throat, Earl Piper suddenly had an idea.

He bent down, pulled out the arrow forcefully, then took out a handkerchief from his cuff, and wiped the blood carefully.

Then... he held the front end of the arrow tightly with his right hand, and stabbed hard towards his left shoulder.

"what!!!"

Earl Piper let out a loud scream, he clutched his left arm that was bleeding, and shouted to the guards around him,

"I've been shot by an arrow! Quickly, send me to the castle to heal my wound!"

Of course, the guards saw his operations.However, as a group bound together by honor and disgrace, the bodyguards must of course help Earl Piper whom they are loyal to.

While yelling that the Earl was hit by an arrow, they protected Earl Piper and walked towards the stone staircase of the city wall.

When Edmure was enjoying the killing, Earl Tytos was concentrating on directing the defense of the city, and Earl Piper pretended to be hit by an arrow to escape, the battle at the west main gate had entered a fierce stage.

On the west wall of Riverrun City, the West Territory siege tower has also joined the battle, and many Lannister soldiers are preparing to board the city through the pedals.

On the west wall of Riverrun City, the boiler that has been covered has been opened, and a foul smell wafts over the city wall.

Those boilers are full of boiled golden juice. This is the 'golden juice' that Brynden accepts Robb's suggestion and collects horses and human excrement in Riverrun.

Gold juice is a traditional city defense weapon in ancient China, which can be divided into two types,
The first type is the metal gold juice obtained by melting various metals at high temperature.

Use a container to throw the metal gold juice out. If it splashes on the siege soldiers, it will cause great damage to the enemy and kill them instantly.

For the specific effect, you can refer to the miserable appearance of the 'beggar king' Viserys Targaryen being poured into a crown by Khal Drogo with golden juice.

These metal gold juices can also effectively defend against siege weapons, as long as they are poured on siege weapons, the high temperature is enough to destroy and ignite them.

However, metals are rare in this era, and few city defenders will spend a lot of money to brew metal gold juice.

The second is the bio-gold juice made from animal and human feces. The material of this bio-gold juice is extremely easy to collect, and it can be said to be an excellent defensive weapon.

Siege soldiers in this era, as long as they are poured with biological gold juice, are basically equivalent to dead.

Because the burn of this kind of biological gold juice is extremely difficult to heal, and at the same time, there is a high probability of death due to severe bacterial infection.

Some people may have doubts, aren't these biological gold juices boiled and sterilized?

In fact, many bacteria need a long period of continuous high temperature to kill.

Moreover, even if the bio-gold juice itself does not carry bacteria, it is a highly nutritious body of bacteria, which can accelerate the reproduction of bacteria in the air, thereby infecting and corroding wounds.

Whoa!

A Lannister infantryman who was about to jump towards the city wall of Riverrun was directly poured a spoonful of golden juice by a guard of Riverrun.

Ah!
His entire face was directly scalded by the golden juice, and at the same time, a foul smell was transmitted directly to the brain through the nasal cavity.It is purely physical and mental torture.

However, this torture soon ceased to affect him, and the Lannister infantryman struggled with his face covered in his hands, without paying attention to his feet, and fell directly from the steps of the siege tower, killing him on the spot.

His body just fell on the side of a Lannister infantryman who was shouting loudly to attack. The golden juice and blood on the body splashed all over the soldier's body and mouth.

Cough, bah, bah!
The Lannister infantry, who obviously felt that the taste was not right, immediately opened his mouth and spat out.

The guards of Riverrun City used these biological golden juices, regardless of whether the Lannister infantry was well-equipped or not, they directly ignored the defense and would cause continuous damage.

Because of these ancient Chinese coups provided by Robb, the pressure on the west wall of Riverrun facing the elite soldiers of the Lannister family is not as great as that on the south wall.

In general, the entire siege of Riverrun has entered a tragic stalemate, and the entire battlefield is like a meat grinder devouring flesh and blood.

In the position of the army in the western region, Taiwen saw the siege of Riverrun, which was exactly as he expected.

His face was very calm, with an expression of wisdom in his hands, and he said to Kaifeng: "It's almost there, let them start attacking!"
