Game of Thrones: Attack on the North Wolf

Chapter 126 Surrender
Whoa, whoa!
The clear and swift Tengshi River flows continuously from west to east from the north of Riverrun City.

Diagonally opposite Riverrun City, in the open space upstream of the Tengshi River, more than 2000 Lannister family cavalry were trying their best to control their horses and keep the army in order.

Most of Kaifeng's nearly 5000 troops are infantry, except for the reinforcement cavalry led by Adam, this is the only remaining cavalry.

The first half of the horses of this group of Lannister family cavalry were bound together with wrist-thin steel chains.

In front of them, nearly [-] Lannister family infantrymen held the front half of the steel chain in their hands.At the same time, three to four hundred small fishing boats of various styles were parked beside them.

To the west were 5000 elite infantrymen of the Lannister family, and to the south were the coalition forces of other families in the Western Territory, totaling 2000 men.Excluding the more than [-] late-stage troops who stayed in the position, the remaining [-] troops are all here.

In charge of commanding this Lannister army is the Earl of the Golden Tooth, Leo Lefford.The Raffles family of Golden Tooth City has mined gold mines for the Lannister family for hundreds of years.

Being able to guard a fat and heavy city like Golden Tooth City, and not being suspected by the Lannister family, their status in the Western Territory naturally goes without saying.

Therefore, Tywin handed over the most important task to the vassal he currently considers to be the most reliable.

woo woo woo woo!
A horn sounded with a specific meaning. Earl Leo, who was wearing a luxurious and exquisite armor and carried a sharp axe, raised the sharp ax and said to Riverrun across the river: "Attack!"

After he gave the order loudly, he took the lead and took his personal guards, lifted a fishing boat and headed towards the river.Seeing this, the remaining 3000 Lannister family infantrymen immediately lifted the small fishing boats around them and put them directly into the water.

Whoa, whoa!
After the small fishing boat entered the water, eight or nine infantrymen of the Lannister family rushed into the fishing boat, picked up the oars that had been prepared in the boat, and rowed vigorously towards the opposite side of the Tengshi River.

Neither the north nor the east of Riverrun had battlements, or defending soldiers.

Because when Riverrun was first established, Lord Axel Tully decided that no one could climb the walls of Riverrun by standing on the fast-flowing Tumblestone and Red Fork.

As it turns out, it does!

Although the infantrymen of the Lannister family paddled hard, the turbulent river still prevented them from moving forward in a straight line, but slanted towards the downstream direction of the river.

However, this location was originally tested by the Lannister family, who were originally located in the upper reaches of the Tumshi River.As they approached Riverrun across the river, they came upon its northern wall.

There is a tall tower on the north side of Riverrun. The surface of the tower is covered with ivy, and there is a huge waterwheel in the middle of the tower.

The waterwheel is powered by the rushing water of the Tengshi River and is constantly turning.And every turn of it will bring the river water into the 'Water Gate' of Riverrun City.

And this water gate is the goal of the infantry of the Lannister family!

In the past two months, both the Kaivan army and the Magic Mountain army have captured many prisoners, including civilians and descendants of nobles.After those inhuman and cruel interrogations, they learned many little secrets of Riverrun.

This water gate is one of them.

The few small fishing boats at the front approached the north wall of Riverrun, but before they could grab any fixed objects, they were carried by the rushing river and went straight downstream.

But among the three or four hundred fishing boats, one fishing boat managed to get close to the water gate for ships to pass under the north wall of Riverrun City.

The water gate has a relatively wide arched door opening, and inside the door opening is a steel gate made of thick steel bars that cross into an 'X' shape.

It should be because it has been soaked in water all year round. At this moment, a large amount of red rust is covering the lower part of the gate.

Count Leo, who had not let his guards row with all their strength, immediately ordered them to use all their strength when he saw the water gate. The small fishing boat he was in quickly headed towards the water gate.

clang!
When their fishing boat came to the water gate, Count Leo, who had already been prepared, directly fastened the steel chain on the boat firmly to the heavy steel gate.

Whoa!
When the steel chain was fastened, it was grabbed by the Lannister family cavalry across the river.

The steel chains that were pulled were tightened obliquely on the surface of the Tengshi River, and those other fishing boats that were too late to approach the water gate just took the opportunity to pull the chains to fix themselves, and then drove towards the water gate.

clang, clang, clang!
The first steel chain was difficult to secure, but the latter ones were much easier.After a while, dozens of steel chains were tightly fastened to the steel gate of the water gate.

"Signal, let them pull!"

Count Leo saw that the number of chains was almost enough, so he gave the order directly. At the same time, they drove the boat along the chains and retreated a little.

咴儿~~
The Lannister cavalry on the other side of the river received the order and immediately pulled the reins, causing the horses under their crotches to turn around and go behind them.

Whoa!
Crunch, crunch!
With the pulling sound of dozens of steel chains, the thick steel bar on the steel gate made an unpleasant noise after bearing the weight.

At the beginning, there was a sound, but gradually the steel horizontal bars began to twist slightly, and it was obvious that they could no longer bear it.

click!
tom!
A poor-quality steel horizontal bar was the first to fail, snapped off and fell into the water of the Tengshi River.

Tom, Tom, Tom!
That steel horizontal bar was like the last straw that broke the camel's back. As it broke the river, other steel horizontal bars on the steel gate kept falling into the river.

"Enough, signal them to stop!"

Seeing that the fallen steel bar was enough for the fishing boat to pass through, Earl Leo, who was worried that all the chains would fall, had no fixed objects, hurriedly asked his personal guards to send a signal to the opposite side of the river.

When Earl Leo's troops had just rowed out, the left side of the south wall of Riverrun had already begun to have a negative impact due to Earl Piper's injury and departure.

On the left side of the city wall, not only is there a lack of commanders to coordinate at this moment, but also because Earl Piper's shout before leaving, the guarding soldiers here heard it, and they began to think about it.

The army of the Western Territory who is wholeheartedly attacking the city will not care about you so much.They are like hyenas, as long as you show your weak part, they will attack you violently.

There were already quite a few soldiers from the western region who had passed the siege tower and the siege ladder to the left city wall. When they got a firm foothold, the soldiers from the western region below could clearly feel that they began to gather towards this section of the city wall.

Earl Tytos was also aware of it. He could clearly feel the attack on the city wall on the right gradually weakening, but the opponent did not blow the retreat horn.

He snatched the one-handed shield of a guarding soldier beside him, pushed the one-handed shield to the wall and looked down.

I saw that a large number of siege soldiers from the western border gathered in the direction of the left city wall.

Oops!

When Tytos saw the situation under the city wall, his heart skipped a beat.

He retreated behind the city wall, returned the one-handed shield in his hand to the guarding soldier, and then tore off the gorgeous crow feather cloak on his back, revealing his bright red armor with the family crest of 'crows around the dead weirwood'.

Tytos pulled out his sword from his waist, and said to the guarding soldiers on the right side of the city wall: "Brothers, hold on to the city wall, these Western Territory cubs won't last long before they will retreat.

From the Blackwood family, 200 people come out, follow me to support the city wall over there! "

Following his call, more than 200 soldiers defending the city wall on the right stood up and followed Tytos to support the city wall on the left.

Tear!

blah blah blah!
Edmure cut the neck of a Western soldier with the long sword in his hand, and his blood was splashed on his face. While he was wiping it with the back of his hand, he heard footsteps coming from the city wall on the right.

He looked up, and saw Lord Tytos approaching him with a party.Edmure, who had been indulging in the thrill of killing, had no idea what happened. He subconsciously thought that Earl Tytos had brought people to reinforce him.

Edmure felt a little uncomfortable, and immediately said loudly to Earl Tytos: "Earl Tytos, why did you leave your defensive area? If the city wall fell because of your departure, you can bear the responsibility ?"

"Lord Edmure, it's just as you said. If you don't bring troops to reinforce the left city wall, the city wall will really fall.

If you don't believe me, look at the movement direction of the enemy army under the city wall! "

Hearing Edmure's tone, Earl Tytos frowned, and directly stated the serious situation.

"Look under the city wall?"

When Edmure heard the words, he came down from the personal guards and went to the wall to see the general situation. Sure enough, as Earl Tytos said, the black army of the Western Region was constantly gathering towards the left side of the city wall.

"Hendry, you take 500 people with Earl Tytos to support Earl Piper."

Edmure was no fool. Seeing the situation under the city wall, he immediately gave orders to a personal guard following him.

Originally, the middle section of the city wall had the most troops, but now the siege force was significantly weakened, so Edmure could mobilize more troops.

"Yes!"

The young and strong personal guard nodded immediately when he heard the order.

Earl Tytos stopped talking nonsense after seeing Edmure's order. After saluting him, he quickly walked across the middle part of the city wall and headed towards the left side of the city wall.

Ah!
kill!
As soon as he came to the circular tower on the left that blocked his view, Earl Tytos heard all kinds of screams and shouts behind the tower.

Passing over the obstructing circular tower, he directly saw the tragic situation of the city wall on the left.

At this moment, there are already three city walls on the left side of the city wall, which have been firmly established by soldiers from the western region. They are exchanging lives cruelly with the soldiers defending the city.

Among them, the two places near the earl of Tytos had a small number of enemies, only about fifty or sixty soldiers from the western border.

At the farthest point, nearly a hundred soldiers from the Western Region had climbed onto the city wall, and they had already occupied a small part of the city wall on the far left.

The corpses on the left city wall have begun to pile up, and the sticky blood has made the stone slabs of the city wall slippery. If you don't pay attention, you may fall directly due to slipping under your feet.

However, if you fall on such a battlefield, you basically have no chance to get back up!
"Hendry, you lead someone to beat down the Western Territory cubs in the first two places. I'll take care of the innermost one!"

Earl Piper and his personal guards were not seen in the field of vision, and Earl Tytos said directly to Hendry without thinking too much.

"no problem!"

Hendry simply agreed, and led his people towards the two western border soldiers on the city wall.

Lord Tytos looked tall and thin, more like a commander than a warrior.He is actually a seasoned and seasoned fighter.

Earl Tytos, who was at the forefront, rushed forward immediately. When he saw a soldier from the western region killing a soldier defending the city, he immediately went up to meet him.

clang!
Earl Tytos saw the soldier from the western region attacking with his sword. He held the sword in both hands and used the second half of his long sword to block.

After blocking the enemy's long sword, he used the cross guard of his long sword to block the opponent's long sword, and then flipped his hands vigorously, and the weapon of the western soldier fell to the ground immediately.

Swish!
Zi, Zi!
Seeing that his weapon fell, the soldier in the western region raised his right hand and was about to speak. Earl Tytos cut off the palm of his right hand with a horizontal sword.

"Let's deal with the enemies on the city wall, the archers will suppress them, and the infantry will push down their siege ladders with sticks!"

Thanks to the addition of the new force and the command and leadership of Earl Tytos, the soldiers defending the city wall on the left suddenly seemed to have a backbone.

According to the command of Earl Tytos, they all performed their duties and performed their duties.

what! ! !
As the defending soldiers fought in an orderly manner, siege ladders were continuously pushed down the city wall accompanied by screams.

Afterwards, the pedals of the siege tower were also forcibly pushed down the city wall. Without continuous reinforcements, the number of enemies in the western region on the left wall began to gradually decrease, and the situation gradually returned to Riverrun City's control.

In the middle of the southern city wall, Edmure was no longer in the mood to continue killing after being messed with by Earl Tytos.

He remembered that as the acting castellan of Riverrun, he had not yet inquired about the battle situation on the west wall, so he directly assigned one of his personal guards to inquire about Brynden's battle situation.

After a while, the exhausted and out of breath personal guard ran to Edmure and intermittently reported: "Lord Edmure, Lord Bu... Lord Brynden, no... not on the west wall superior."

not there!Where did he go?
Hearing the guard's report, Edmure suddenly looked surprised and lowered his head in thought.

……

Count Leo was passing by in a boat. The wet and dark passage of the water gate, as he entered the castle of Riverrun, his vision suddenly widened.

This is the waterfront step area of ​​Riverrun City. At this moment, there are still some ships in Riverrun City, which are tied to the iron rings on the surrounding walls to fix them.

Well, this should be the way out for the Tully family.Even if Riverrun City falls, they can still quietly take a boat here and escape by water.

However, they didn't expect that we would enter from here!
Count Leo looked at the quiet steps facing the water, and couldn't help but have some speculations in his heart.

With the continuous entry of fishing boats, this area has almost gathered nearly a hundred Lannister family soldiers.

Count Leo saw that the troops were almost enough, so he directly led the group of soldiers and walked out, preparing to open Riverrun from the inside.

call out!
Boom!

Count Leo had just taken a few steps when a red shadow flashed across his vision. At the same time, he heard the sound of arrows piercing through the air.

Then there was an explosion from behind, and he was caught off guard by the air wave behind him, and fell heavily to the ground.

pat!pat!
The explosion happened above the water gate passage, and at this moment, stones continued to fall, directly blocking the entire passage.

Some unlucky Lannister soldiers following Count Leo were directly below the explosion, buried directly in the rubble.

The other soldiers were also pushed by the blast wave, and fell staggered on the ground.

Count Leo shook his dizzy head, which was full of tinnitus. As soon as he stood up, he saw a man in black fish scale armor, with a weather-beaten face, gray hair, thick eyebrows and blue eyes, with his upper body on. Hundreds of archers aimed at themselves.

Count Leo glanced at the passage blocked by the stone pile behind him, and there were dozens of Lannister soldiers lying on the ground beside him with varying degrees of injury.

He tactfully threw down the sharp ax in his hand, and at the same time said to the man in front of him: "I surrender, don't hurt me! The Leford family will pay a very generous ransom in exchange for my freedom!"
