Game of Thrones: Attack on the North Wolf

Chapter 164
"Strength, lift hard!"

On the afternoon of the third day after the Western Territory army besieged Riverrun City, there was an open space in the upper reaches of the Tengshi River diagonally opposite Riverrun City.

More than 300 soldiers were struggling to carry more than 20 small fishing boats. Tywin, Earl Swyfer, and Earl Shallot were quietly watching behind them.

"Lord Tywin, when Earl Leo attacked Riverrun last time, he confiscated almost all the nearby fishing boats. I sent people to expand the search area, and only found these more than 20 fishing boats in half a day.

However, Sir Marco has already begun to supervise the construction of simple boats. I believe that within two days we will have hundreds of small paddle boats that are enough to cross the Tengshi River.

Hmm... Please forgive me for talking too much, Sir Marco's attack on the city two days ago was like acting in conjunction with Riverrun, without any results.Lord Tywin, I think he..."

"Piper has proven his loyalty to me!"

Standing behind Tywin, Earl Swyfer's eyes flickered, and he was about to try to trip Sir Marq.Tai Wen, who understood his character, interrupted him directly.

"Of course, I have never doubted Sir Marco's loyalty to you. I just think that he may be too tired, so it is inevitable that he will be a little negligent when commanding."

Hearing that Sir Marco was so trusted by Tywin, the tactful Earl Swyfer immediately replied with a smile, and then immediately changed the subject,

"Lord Tywin, I have already sent someone to investigate. After the last surprise attack by Earl Leo, Riverrun City has already sealed the water gate tightly.

So, you want them to clear it, and then we can break into the city and occupy Riverrun? "

"Occupy? No, I'm going to destroy Riverrun today, so that the enemies inside have to surrender!"

Tywin stared at the north wall of Riverrun City not far downstream, and shook his head as he replied.

"let's start!"

Before the bewildered Earl Swyfer continued to ask questions, he turned his head and spoke to the silent Earl Saliott.

Hearing this, the strong man wearing the armor with the family crest of 'Opening Peacock' immediately waved to the back.Three transport carriages loaded with goods then drove to the Tengshi River.

Squeak!

The cargo compartment of the transport carriage was opened, and it was filled with fine sand, and there was a wax-sealed wine barrel in the middle of the sand.At the same time, a pungent smell also wafted out.

"Come on, let's stay away. By the way, Shallot remembered to remind them to be very careful when handling wildfires."

"Yes! Lord Tywin."

Tywin explained to Earl Shallott, and rode his horse back.He never liked to put himself in a dangerous situation.

On the west wall of Riverrun City, Earl Tytos with a tired face was staring at the camp of the Western Territory army. The huge army of nearly 3 people felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart.

In the past two days, he used 1 soldiers of Riverrun to keep more than 5000 siege soldiers from the western region firmly outside the city walls.Who knows, the enemy will reinforce at least [-] people again today.

A few months ago, Riverrun had successfully defended against an enemy attack numbering [-].But at that time, their defense forces were more than twice as large as they are now, and there were famous generals such as Brynden in defense.

Earl Tytos knew in his heart that if these 3 people attacked the west and south walls at the same time.If you defend for a long time, you will lose, and Riverrun will fall in a short time!

"Boat, be careful, there is a boat on the Tengshi River!"

While Earl Tytos was racking his brains to think about how to defend, he suddenly heard a warning sound from a guard on the right side of the west wall.

Earl Tytos immediately ran to the right side of the city wall when he heard the sound, and saw more than 20 small fishing boats and the soldiers of the Western Territory standing on the boats.

The water gate has already been blocked, what are they trying to do?
No, I can't just watch like this, I have to do something!
Watching the boats on the Tumshi River going towards the north wall along the current, a thought flashed through Lord Tytos' mind,

He immediately turned his head and said to his deputy: "Yada, I will leave the defense here to you. I will take 200 people to the water gate to check the situation. If they start to attack the city, call someone to notify me immediately."

"As ordered!"

After giving instructions to his deputy, Earl Tytos selected [-] soldiers from his Blackwood family, and then led them to the water gate stairs under the north city wall in a hurry.

In Duke Horst's bedroom, four tall and strong guards were guarding the inside and outside of the room. A male servant carrying hot water and a towel chatted with the two guards at the door before stepping into the room.

The male servant placed the water basin in the corner of the room, and was about to do the routine work of wiping his body every afternoon for Duke Hoster.

Boom, boom...

Crack, crack!
A series of huge explosions sounded, and the entire main castle began to shake violently.Huge cracks like centipedes continued to spread and expand along the wall.

"Hurry up and protect the Duke!"

The two guards in the Duke's room were the first to react, shouting loudly, and rushed towards the big velvet bed in the room.

Whoa!
Bang!Bang!
One of the guards had just taken two steps when the top floor of the Duke's room began to collapse, and a small pile of head-sized stones fell down, hitting the guard's head heavily by coincidence, burying him.

At the same time, the top floor at the door of the Duke's room also collapsed, directly blocking the entire door.

"Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and carry the Duke with me, let's take the spiral staircase on the balcony!"

The other guard rushed to the velvet bed and found that the door was blocked by collapsed stones, and other guards could not enter the room, so he immediately shouted loudly to the male servant who was still in place.

The frightened male servant was awakened by his voice, and he immediately lifted the unresponsive Duke Hoster on the velvet bed, his eyes were dull, and walked towards the balcony of the room.

Bang!Boom!
Just as they were about to walk to the balcony on the shaking ground, the whole main castle suddenly fell violently, causing them to lose their balance instantly.

The originally shaky but flat floor of the Duke's room suddenly tilted to the left.At the same time, a thick strip of rock as thick as an adult's thigh collapsed on the top floor, hitting the three Dukes of Horst who were standing unsteadily.

There was a considerable delay in walking down the west wall to the north wall as Lord Tytos selected his family soldiers.

So, when he just came to the north wall where the main castle was located, before he could go down the stairs to the water gate, he heard a series of huge explosions.

Afterwards, he was shocked to see that the ancient main castle that stood in the riverland for thousands of years was quickly occupied by countless cracks on its surface, and the deepest and largest cracks started from the water gate.

Bang, bang, bang!
A short time after the explosion stopped, a large number of stone fragments from the main castle began to fall down.

"Back back quickly, the main castle is about to collapse!"

Earl Tytos, who reacted, immediately waved his hands backwards violently, and shouted to all the family soldiers around him.

Afterwards, Earl Tytos and his party immediately ran towards the south wall in a panic.

Bang!
There was a violent sound, and a large amount of smoke and dust accompanied by fine gravel enveloped the running Earl Tytos and his party.

"Cough, cough!"

After a few minutes, Earl Tytos, who finally escaped from the smoke, coughed violently, continuously spitting out the fine grains of sand that had choked into his mouth.

Looking at the main castle that seemed to have collapsed covered by layers of smoke and dust, Earl Tytos had only one sentence in his mind at this moment, we are finished!
Since Edmure is the only heir to the Duke of Riverrun, if the Duke of Hoster dies, Edmure will automatically become the new Duke, and at this moment both he and Brynden are in the hands of the West Territory Army.

If so, he ordered the defenders of Riverrun to open the gates and surrender.Even if Lord Tytos wanted to fight to the death, he would be powerless to prevent the defenders of Riverrun from surrendering at their lord's command.

"Lord Tytos, the main castle is still there, still!"

The smoke and dust gradually dissipated, and a family soldier was the first to see the huge main castle behind the smoke and dust from the side, and shouted excitedly to Earl Tytos, who had lowered his head in despair and sat on the ground.

Hearing his voice, Earl Tytos immediately raised his head, staring straight ahead with his eyes wide open.

Although the entire main castle did not collapse directly, it was already deformed and distorted, and it was no longer its majestic appearance.

At this moment, the towers on the left and right sides of the main castle collapsed obliquely towards the middle, while the middle part of the main castle had already broken from it, and collapsed downward into the water gate that was originally the underground space.

Therefore, the shape of the main castle that Earl Tytos saw from the front now seems to have become a wrinkled castle that was stitched together by children, roughly in the shape of a 'V'.

The wildfire explosion point is the water gate directly below the middle of the main castle.Because the most important property of wildfire is the property of burning most of the material.So its blasting ability is not as powerful as the high explosives in the previous life.

Robb's use of wildfire only blasted the gate of the Dreadfort, not the walls of the Dreadfort.The reason why Tywin is very sure that the wildfire can destroy the city walls of Riverrun is because he had seen the scene after the mud gate exploded.

But the actual situation in Riverrun is actually different from the low walls of Mudgate!
The main castle of Torrent City, which is made of solid rock mixed with mortar and other materials, has a thick wall and the defense of its own weight is far greater than the low city wall of Mud Gate.

Therefore, the entire main castle did not directly blow up to the sky as Tai Wen planned, but turned into the current appearance that was about to collapse.

"Quick, you go and rescue Duke Hoster now!"

Earl Tytos, who reacted, immediately pointed to the main castle and gave orders to his family's soldiers.

The reason why Earl Tytos rekindled hope was that the Duke’s room in Riverrun was not built in the middle of the main castle, but on the left side of the main castle where he could see the Tengshi River and the west wall. .

Nearly [-] family soldiers heard the order and immediately ran towards the left side of the main castle where the spiral staircase was not damaged.

Seeing the collapse of the rock above his head, the male servant subconsciously hugged Duke Horst in his arms, bowed his head and closed his eyes, waiting for the arrival of death.

"Pfft, take the Duke out quickly. I can't last long!"

A fishy-sweet raindrop fell on his face, and then the male servant heard the guard's voice.

He opened his eyes, and saw the tall and strong guards carrying the stone on their shoulders and holding the stone as thick as an adult's thigh with their hands, with blood spilling from their mouths, they shouted at him: "Go!"

Hearing this, the male servant immediately turned over and carried Duke Horst on his back, who couldn't feel what happened at all, and struggled to pull the edge of the balcony that had been tilted to the left, and headed for the spiral staircase.

"Master Horst, I can only guard you until today!"

Looking at the Duke and Duke of Hoster who were gradually disappearing from sight, the tall guard who was vented in his heart felt that the stones on his shoulders were getting heavier and his hands were getting weaker and weaker.

Bang!
……

"Huh? Wasn't it directly destroyed? This is different from what I expected! Riverrun City is really strong!

But it doesn't matter, the wildfire reserves brought this time are enough, and I am ready to come again for the second time! "

Tywin, who was diagonally across the Tengshi River, looked at the castle of Riverrun Castle that collapsed in the middle, and after sighing rather unexpectedly, he turned his head and attacked Earl Shallot.

Da da da!
Before Earl Shallot had time to answer, a messenger from the Western Territory came hurriedly on horseback from the direction of the Western Territory army camp.

"Lord Tywin, Lord Kevan was defeated by Robb Stark at the Golden Tooth City yesterday afternoon. Now he has returned to the camp with two thousand cavalry."

"Trash! Although most of them are soldiers from the storm, 2 people actually brought back 2000 people!

Shallott gets ready first.Wait until I return to camp to listen to Kevan's explanation, and then decide when to destroy Riverrun! "

"Yes, Lord Tywin!"

Shalliot was ordered to continue making preparations here, while Tywin and the others rode back to the army camp in the western region.

Returning to the commander's tent stationed in the camp, after Tywin and all the noble generals were seated, Kaifeng immediately recounted the specific details of yesterday's battle at the Golden Tooth City.

For example, Robb Stark is despicable and has no regard for noble dignity.He actually let the infantry unit die first, and then took the opportunity to use the cavalry unit.

For example, how huge and terrifying are the wolves in the northern ice field, and the soldiers in the northern border will also use fire and ice magic, as well as various other objective factors.

In general, what Kevan meant was that the responsibility for this defeat was not on him!
"Leave other things aside! Kefeng, you just said that there was no movement in Golden Tooth City from the beginning to the end of this battle?"

Tywin would never directly believe something that he did not confirm with his own eyes.But he keenly grasped the abnormality of Kefeng's remark.

"Yes, Lord Tywin! I'm dragging Robb Stark's 5000 men with him, just to strike out from the Golden Tooth and attack the unsuspecting backs of the Northern army.

But he was afraid of fighting, and watched me being defeated by the northern army using evil methods in Golden Tooth City. I beg you to punish Adam Marbrand severely! "

Hearing Tywin mentioning Adam, Kevan immediately became angry.He attributed all the reasons for his failure to Adam.

"Before we set off from Harrenhal, we received Daven's letter from the raven. He told me in his letter that Adam had returned to the Golden Tooth City with his army that day.

It doesn't take that much time to get from Lannisport to the Golden Tooth.So, either, as you said, Adam was afraid to fight.

Or... Golden Tooth City has fallen! "

Tywin stared closely at the battle map on the long table, tapping the table with his right index finger rhythmically.Then he shared his analysis of Golden Tooth City.

"Impossible! Lord Tywin, before fighting the northern army, he carefully observed the Golden Tooth City. There was no sign of attacking the city.

If the northern army forcibly attacked the city, no matter how they cleaned it up in a short period of time, they would definitely leave traces! "

As soon as Tywin finished speaking, Kaifeng immediately vetoed it with a very positive tone.Of course he wanted to pin the reason for his defeat in the war firmly on Adam's head.

"Well, since you are so sure, Kefeng. Then after this battle is over, I will punish Adam severely after I understand the situation in Golden Tooth City.

Next, because you led the army from the direction of Riverrun, then Robb Stark will definitely bring his troops back to check the situation in Riverrun.

In this way, we can set up a trap for him in advance! "

Seeing that Kefeng was so sure, Tywin, who actually thought it was impossible for Golden Tooth City to fall, nodded.Open your mouth to discuss how to deal with Robb next.

"Lord Tywin, Earl Swyfer sent troops to block their information as soon as he arrived in Riverrun. Therefore, I don't think Robb Stark knows that I have joined you, and I can use my previous identity again.

I took the recruits from the Hejian land who joined us, and pretended to be defeated remnants, and led the enemy army into your trap. "

Due to the failure of the attack on Riverrun City, Earl Marco, who had been waiting for an opportunity, immediately recommended himself and wanted to make a contribution to Tywin.

"Very well, as you say. If you can lure Robb Stark into a trap, Piper, then Riverrun will be yours!"

"Ah! Thank you Lord Tywin, our Piper family will swear allegiance to the Lannister family!"

"Well, thank you... Thank you Lord Tywin!"

Hearing Tywin's promise of great rewards in front of everyone, Sir Marco got up from his seat a little excitedly, and knelt down on one knee to express his loyalty.

Sir Marq's father, Earl Piper, didn't react until he saw his son's actions.After knocking down his chair excitedly, he knelt down on one knee towards Tywin.

"Well, stand up, both of you! The Lannister family 'repays all debts', whether it is a favor to us or a grudge against us!"

After Tywin nodded to Sir Marco, he looked around at the noble generals in the tent, with a rare smile on the corner of his mouth, and continued: "Since we are going to set a trap for Robb Stark .Then let's put down the broken city of Riverrun for now!

Gather all the wildfire here, and I'll make a magnificent tomb for the victorious King of the North! "
