Game of Thrones: Attack on the North Wolf

Chapter 157
Duh, duh, duh!
Whoo, whoo, whoo!
The continuous rain of arrows drew a perfect parabola and fell into the phalanx of the western border siege soldiers who were wearing wooden shields and carrying siege ladders.Most of the arrows were only nailed to the thick surface of the wooden shield, and a small part shot into the flesh of the attacking soldiers through the gaps.

At the same time, head-sized solid stones were also thrown from behind the battlements of the Shili wall, making a loud impact with the wooden shields carried by the soldiers in the western region.

Most of the stones were directly bounced off by the strong wooden shield, while a small number of stones were smashed together with the wooden shield and the heads of the siege soldiers below.

Pop, pop, pop!
Staring at the attack of the guards of Shili City, the siege soldiers from the west came to the bottom of Shili City, and countless siege soldiers drilled out from the defensive wooden shields. They put the siege ladders in their hands on the wall of Shili City.

This heralds the beginning of a more bloody and tragic ascent battle!
Lord Jonos Bracken, Lord of Stonehedge, and Harion Karstark, Commander of the North, who commanded the guard of Stonehedge, watched from a safe position behind the walls of Stonehedge.

"Master Harion, we have to find a way to release the news of the call for help. Otherwise, we may not be able to keep it going like this!"

Earl Janos looked at the Western Territory camp outside the city wall, with a worried look on his face, and turned to Harion and said.

"Lord Janos, don't worry, although the army of the Westlands shot and killed the ravens we released. But our spies in the riverlands will definitely spread the news of Stonehedge City's siege to Riverrun."

Harion smiled and comforted Earl Janos, then looked at the northern soldiers fighting bravely on the city wall, and continued,

"Look at how brave our soldiers in the north are. With them around, Stonewall City will definitely not have any problems."

"Well, they are indeed very brave. But... the casualties are also very large!"

Upon hearing this, Earl Janos first nodded and answered, and then muttered to himself in a very low voice.

As he said, most of the people defending against the enemy on the walls of Shili City at this time are recruits from the northern border.Stimulated by the new military merit system, they fought very bravely, scrambling to kill as many enemies as possible.

But they didn't know how to protect themselves when killing the enemy, so during the four-day siege, the [-] northern recruits suffered as many as [-] casualties.

According to military statistics, they killed less than 500 siege soldiers in the western region.This is actually a casualty ratio that is not good for the defenders.

Normally, the ratio of casualties between the attacking side and the defending side should be around one to three to five.Some exaggerated battle casualties may even exceed one to ten.

"Lord James, I really don't understand. It's fine if you don't want to capture the civilians in the river to consume the enemy, but why don't you let the soldiers of the storm attack the city first?
In the past few days, our soldiers in the western border have suffered heavy casualties, and the death rate has almost reached ten percent. "

The Lord of Deep Cavern City, Earl Lince Leighton, asked James in a bad tone at the western camp outside Shili City.

"Did you see the morale of the soldiers in the storm? Letting them go to attack the city is just death. The key is that their collapse will affect the morale of our army as a whole.

In the past few days, the death rate in Shili City is not low, and more and more soldiers on our side have reached the top.Well, although he was beaten down again. "

James watched the situation of the siege with a blank face, and he replied without looking back.

"But why are my Layton family soldiers always in the siege team?"

Of the more than 700 casualties of soldiers in the western border in the past few days, half of them were soldiers of the Layton family.Earl Lins, who had endured for several days, finally asked.

"I choose soldiers who are brave and strong in combat to attack the city, so that they are more likely to break through the city.

Don't worry, Earl Lins, after breaking the city, I will reward you according to your merit.Won't let you suffer! "

Hearing that Earl Lince finally spoke, James snorted coldly in his heart, and after replying with a normal face, he changed the subject and continued,

"Earl Lins, I want to remind you. I am the commander-in-chief of this army. I know how to lead the army in battle. I don't need you to teach me how to do things! Do you understand?"

"Understood, Lord James, I will take my leave first."

Hearing James' merciless tone, Earl Lins replied with an extremely ugly face, then turned and left.

Earl Leo, who had been standing quietly by the side, listening to James' dispute, looked at Earl Lince's back, stepped forward and said softly to James, "Master James, there is really something wrong with Lince Layton. ?"

"I'm not sure. In the letter my father asked his attendants to send me on horseback, he just ordered me to consume all the troops of the Layton family."

James turned his head and shook his head at Count Leo, then he continued to speak with worry on his handsome face,
"We have lost one after another in this war with the northern border, which has caused some people to think that they shouldn't have.

Therefore, we must re-establish the prestige of the Lannister family in the next war. "

"We, the Rayfords, are absolutely loyal to the Lannisters."

As soon as James finished speaking, Count Leo immediately expressed his loyalty.

"Well, everyone in the Lannister family knows the loyalty of the Lefford family.

The troops of the Layton family are almost exhausted, Earl Leo, launch a general attack, we must take Shili City today! "

"As ordered!"

Woo! ~~
With the sound of horns in the western camp, the western army, which had only invested one-fifth of its troops, began to attack the city with all its strength without reservation.

The nine catapults that had been hurriedly made in the past few days were also pushed out, and began to be filled with stones the size of the upper body of a human being, ready to attack.

"Haha, Thomas, I killed another enemy! I have killed five enemies, and I can apply for citizenship!"

On a wall stack on the left side of Shili City, after Maier threw a stone to kill the enemy, he turned his head very excitedly and said to Thomas who was hiding under the wall stack not far away because of fear.

"Maier, have you forgotten what those veterans taught us? Get down quickly and be careful of the enemy's arrows."

Tomard saw Maier who was getting carried away with excitement, so he stood upright and talked to him.His complexion changed drastically, and he immediately yelled at Maier.

"Haha, I am a man who will become a knight in the future. How could I die so easily? Look, their arrows are all going around me!"

Hearing this, Maier not only didn't squat down, but deliberately leaned out of the city wall. When a few arrows shot past his head, he laughed loudly, and then said to Tomad very proudly.

"Okay, okay. I see! You squat down first!"

Seeing Tomard's panicked expression, Maier finally squatted down and said to Tomad with a smile: "Tomad, stand up and fight bravely. You have missed a lot of military exploits these days, don't say it if you continue like this." Knight, it's hard to even become a citizen!

Secretly tell you, people who are more afraid of death will die first.That's an experience I got for a buck from a veteran.

So, as bold as I am..."

Boom, boom!

Just as Maier was imparting battlefield experience to Thomas, the nine trebuchets in the western camp launched the first wave of attacks in the direction of Shili City.

A huge stone happened to hit the wall where Maier was hiding. Stone Fence City was not a particularly strong wall, and was directly crushed by the stone carrying huge kinetic energy.

The shattered stones and the boulder smashed heavily on Maier's body, burying the words behind him forever.

"Mel!"

Tomard, who was stunned by the scene in front of him, immediately crawled to the pile of rubble after reacting, trying to get Maier out.

When Tomard was digging the rubble frantically, a large amount of bright red blood oozed from the rubble, heralding Maier's tragic end.

After two rounds of bombing by trebuchets, soldiers from the western region came flooding in like a flood.

Harion didn't expect at all that the western army, which had been carrying out tentative attacks normally, would launch a general attack today.

Facing an enemy that was several times larger than their own, the northern recruits on the walls of Shili City suffered heavy losses immediately. Soldiers from the western siege had already started to climb up the walls, fighting with the northern recruits on the walls.

Seeing that the situation had suddenly changed to this situation, Harion hurried down the city wall and transferred the northern veterans who were resting in Shili City back to the city wall to join the battle.

With the leadership of [-] brave veterans of the northern border, other recruits from the northern border mustered up their courage to continue fighting and beat back the wave of soldiers who attacked the city in the western border.

The blood, stumps, and corpses on the walls of Shili City continued to increase, and the lives of soldiers on both sides continued to disappear in this offensive and defensive battle.

The defenders of Shili City during the fierce battle did not notice that a special carriage with a wooden shield on the outside and raw cowhide on the wooden shield came to Shili City under the cover of a group of soldiers attacking the city from the west. City gate location.

When this special carriage stopped behind the gate of Shili City, the soldiers from the western region immediately fled to the rear in a hurry, as if some monster was chasing them.

boom! ! !
A violent explosion sounded, and the familiar emerald green flames directly devoured the oak iron gate of Shili City, together with hundreds of soldiers from both sides on the tower.

Harion, who was gathering the newly recruited soldiers and servants of the Bracken family in the school grounds of Shili City, was stunned for a long time after hearing the loud noise.

Looking at the siege soldiers from the western region who were constantly using mud to put out the fire outside the empty stone fence gate, Harion immediately reacted and roared loudly: "The gate is broken, everyone come to me to defend against the enemy!"

When the wild fire at the gate of the disappeared Shili City was completely extinguished, Harion gathered thousands of guarding soldiers in the school grounds to form a square formation.But in the face of tens of thousands of soldiers in the western border, their solution has long been doomed.

Tear!

James rode his war horse into Stone Ledge City, and saw soldiers from the Western Territory making amends to the seriously injured enemy.At this time, in the school grounds of Shili City, about [-] northern soldiers and captives were kneeling on the ground densely.

"I'm Jaime Lannister, whoever is the leader, stand up and talk to me!"

"I, Harion Karstark."

As soon as James finished speaking, among the kneeling crowd, there was a bloody sword wound on his left shoulder, and Harion, who was covered in blood, stood up.

"Lord James, I am the lord of Stonewall City, Janos Bracken. We are all nobles, and the King of the North will give you a corresponding ransom. Please treat us as noble prisoners."

Earl Janos stood up after Harion, and said loudly to James.

"Sorry, we don't need a ransom this time. What I want to ask is, are you willing to submit to the Lannister family and fight for us?"

Hearing what Earl Janos said, James shook his head, followed Tywin's order before the expedition, and opened his mouth to take prisoners who were willing to surrender.

"You want us to turn our backs on the King in the North? Hey, dream it, Lannister!"

Hearing this, Harion let out a chuckle, and directly refused.

"Yes, the Karstark family is worthy of being relatives of the Stark family, and they are indeed very loyal!"

When James heard his words, he praised Harion without anger, then turned his head and said loudly to the other northern prisoners who were kneeling on the ground,

"If you don't want to be loyal to us, you will die. There should be many civilians in the western region who were forcibly recruited among you. Now, this is an excellent opportunity for you to renew your allegiance to the Lannister family!"

"Lord James, on behalf of the Bracken family, I am loyal to the Lannister family."

Hearing James' words, Earl Janos' face changed drastically, and he immediately expressed his willingness to pledge his allegiance.

Under his lead in allegiance, many recruits from the Western Territory opened their mouths one after another, expressing their willingness to pledge allegiance to the Lannister family.

"Jaime Lannister, I have a precious item in exchange for my life!"

Harion looked at Earl Genos, who was directly surrendering to the enemy, and turned to James with cold eyes.

"Hey, I'm not interested in possessions."

"I'm not talking about goods, its value is related to the victory of this war."

"Oh? I'm very interested when you say that. I promise you, it's really worth enough, and I'll spare your life. So, where is it?"

Harion's words aroused James' curiosity, and after agreeing to Harion's conditions, he asked.

"In my room, you can have someone accompany me to pick it up."

"Master James, I will take someone to accompany him to fetch it."

As soon as Harion finished speaking, Count Leo behind James got off his horse and said to James.

"Okay, then trouble Count Leo!"

After James nodded in agreement, Count Leo took several personal guards and accompanied Harion back to his room.

After a while, they returned to the school field and came to the right side in front of James.

"Is this the precious item?"

Looking at the black ball in Harion's uninjured hand, James asked with a frown.

"Yes!"

Looking at the hole card that His Majesty Robb gave him before leaving, Harion nodded in response, scratched the lines on the explosive fruit with his right thumbnail, and counted silently in his heart.

1, 2, 3...

"You said it was precious, so where is its value?"

"Haha, its value...is that it can kill you!"

After Harion answered James with a final laugh, he threw the explosive fruit that started to bloom with blue light with his right hand and threw it towards him.

When he heard Harion's laugh, James had already started to be vigilant in his heart.When he saw the blue fruit he threw from the right, James quickly fell to the left, using the horse under his crotch as a meat shield.

Bang!
Accompanied by the sound of the explosion, an orange-red flame rose up, and the poor horse instantly turned into several scorched corpses.And James, who was overturned to the ground by a strong impact at close range, had burns all over his right face, and his life and death were unknown.

Oh!

Count Leo, who was full of anger, pulled out his long sword, pierced Harion's heart directly from behind, and then shouted at the stunned Western soldiers around him: "Made, kill everyone in this city!" Kill them all, and set fire to the castle after all valuables have been robbed!"

"Yes!"

Accompanied by the excited answers of the soldiers in the western region, the bloody massacre in this castle began!
