Game of Thrones: Attack on the North Wolf

Chapter 187
Crake Hall is located in the middle of the Sunset Sea and Crake Forest in the southern part of the Western Territory, just on the Binhai Boulevard, and is regarded as the gateway castle guarding the southern part of the Western Territory.

Judging from the surrounding geography, apart from the fact that the large crake forest is convenient for ambushes, the Crake Hall does not have the geographic defensive advantages of Golden Tooth City and Deep Cavern City at all.

Da da da!
A large number of cavalrymen of the Riverbend Kingdom wearing new and gorgeous armor engraved with the Tyrell family crest are constantly wandering in the crake forest to check the situation.

From the brand-new equipment of these large numbers of cavalrymen of the Reach Kingdom, we can see the rich heritage of the Tyrell family, which has controlled the rich Reach for nearly 300 years.

However, the cavalry of the Riverbend Kingdom are all light cavalry, and in terms of overall value, they are comparable to the [-] heavy cavalry of the Lannister family.

However, although their new equipment is as gorgeous as flowers, it does not represent their combat effectiveness.

After a large number of cavalrymen from the Kingdom of the River Bend thoroughly investigated the Crake Forest, they returned to the Chinese Army, which was marching on the coastal road, to report.

"Count Landau, did you hear that? The enemy's strength is only 7000 to [-] people. At this moment, they must only dare to hide in the castle. How could they lie in ambush in the crake forest!
I'll just say it!Unless the enemy commander is an idiot, he will not die like this.

You are indeed thinking too much! "

Earl Landau had been advising the Duke of Metz to send cavalry to scout the crake forest before. After receiving a reply from the scouting cavalry, he said to Earl Landau with a look on his face that he was in control of the situation.

"Well, it's best if there is no ambush. Mr. Prime Minister, even if a lion catches a rabbit, it will use all its strength, not to mention that this is a cruel war that is a matter of life and death.

We can't have the slightest bit of slack! "

Earl Landau understood the meaning of Duke Metz's words, but he replied frankly without moving.

"Okay, as you said, this battle is very important. Earl Landau, you will lead the soldiers of the Tully family to supervise the battle in the rear, and you will attack as trump cards at critical moments!"

Seeing that he was slack in what he said, the Duke of Metz's face froze, and he directly asked to send Earl Landau's troops, which had always been the vanguard or the central army, to the rear.

"What? Your Excellency, the family language of our Tully family is 'I am the vanguard', and there has never been a history of being huddled in the rear in a war!
Please the Prime Minister take back this order! "

He had been used to the Duke of Mace targeting him for many years, but Earl Landau couldn't help but protested when he heard his words.

Duke Mace, who has served as the Hand of the King of the River Bend Kingdom for more than half a year, has a different mentality than before. Besides, this war of disparity in military strength is already a certain feat in his heart, so how can Earl Landau get a share of it.

So he asked in a strong tone: "Rando Tarly, you just said that you can't slack off in the face of cruel wars. Are you going to disobey my military orders now?"

"I... obey!"

Hearing the Duke of Mace retaliated with his own words, Earl Landau was at a loss for words.He looked around at the other nobles who were staring at the two of them. In order not to affect the morale of the army, he could only nod to accept the order.

"Very well, order the whole army to speed up the march, arrive at Crake Hall tonight, and start preparing for the siege tomorrow morning!"

The Duke of Mace's order was quickly conveyed, and the two-day march from Ancient Oak City to Crake Hall was shortened to one and a half days.

After a night's rest, the soldiers of the River Bend Kingdom began to cut down the rich tree resources of the Crake Forest the next morning, and began to make siege equipment.

Seeing that his soldiers were making preparations before the siege, Earl Landau, who led the soldiers of the Tully family to patrol silently all night, returned to his camp and began to rest.

The Duke of Metz did not arrange the night patrol for Earl Landau, because he was worried that the enemy would take advantage of his exhaustion after the rapid march to carry out a night attack, so he led his family soldiers on a night patrol spontaneously.

Woo!
On the morning of the third day, the low-pitched trumpets sounded, and the siege of Crake Hall, which was disparate in strength, officially began.

The commander of the vanguard of the siege of the Reach Kingdom was the second son of the Duke of Mace, Garlan Tyrell.

Compared to Loras, the Knight of Hundred Flowers, Garland, who didn't like to compete for honors, didn't have a good reputation, and not many people knew him.But in fact he was taller and stronger than Loras, and stronger and braver.

Crack, crack, crack!
Tens of thousands of infantrymen of the Kingdom of Hewan rushed towards the Crake Hall with their shields on their backs, carrying the siege ladders and battering rams. There were so many of them that the siege army lined up was even bigger than that of the Crake Hall. The walls are even wider.

The siege soldiers of the Riverbend Kingdom pouring in like a tide put great pressure on the defenders of the Crake Hall. Clay, who was in charge of the Crake Hall's command, saw these situations in his eyes and directly ordered loudly: "Shoot!"

Huh, huh, huh!
duh duh!
Thousands of sharp arrows fell like raindrops into the siege army formation of the River Bend Kingdom, and a series of muffled sounds suddenly sounded.

Most of the arrows were blocked by the shield, and a small part of the arrows shot through the relatively wide gaps in the siege army and hit the target.

Seeing the more-than-expected damage caused by this round of arrow salvo, Clay nodded very satisfied.

Because after this round of arrow rain attacks, he has already seen that these well-equipped siege soldiers of the River Bend Kingdom lacked combat experience and tacit understanding of the army.

"The archers continue to shoot, and the others prepare rocks, boiling oil, and gold juice. When these bitches in new clothes approach, we will give them a hard time!"

Clay, who has always been cautious and organized, has fully adapted to the position of battlefield commander.

According to his orders, the guarding army in Crake Hall, composed of soldiers from the north and ironmen, began to run very smoothly like a lubricating machine.

Ramsay stood behind Clay with a smile on his face. On the surface, he seemed to be silently waiting for Clay to give him an order, but his mind was constantly thinking about other issues.

Previously, Clay and Patrick accepted Robb's order to come to Crake Hall to replace the defenders.But Ramsay was not replaced, the two of them replaced Gendry.

This made Ramsay, who was eager to return to the Iron Fleet, feel cold, even though his power in the Iron Fleet was growing day by day.But if he is transferred from the Iron Fleet by Robb for a long time, then the Ironmen under his command will definitely have a different heart.

And now it is considered a time of war, no matter what excuse he finds for leaving his post, Clay has enough reasons to kill him.

Fortunately, Ramsay has been in the Iron Fleet for a long time, even if he leaves for a short time, it will not be affected.Therefore, he had enough time to think about whether he should return to the Iron Fleet as a matter of course.

This time, Robb Stark sent his henchmen to Crake Hall, at least we won't be used as bait by him... right?

After thinking hard for a long time, he couldn't find any good solution. Ramsay glanced at Clay in front of him and Patrick beside him, comforting himself in his heart.

"Climb the city quickly with the siege ladder, push the battering ram to open the city gate. One hundred silver stags will be rewarded for killing an enemy, and the first climber will be promoted to three ranks, and one hundred golden dragons will be rewarded!"

With the rain of arrows from the guarding soldiers of the Crake Hall approaching the city wall, Garland in a gorgeous armor stepped out from behind the shield, holding a long sword and using his power to intensify his own morale on the spot.

Go!kill!
The effect of Garland's money offensive was really good. Knowing that his side had an absolute advantage this time, the soldiers of the Riverbend Kingdom immediately boosted their morale after hearing his huge money incentive.

call!Crash!

Zi, Zi!
Rows of siege ladders covered the front wall of Crake Hall, and some soldiers of the River Bend Kingdom, who were eager for meritorious service, climbed up the siege ladders regardless of their care.

But head-sized stones, steaming boiling oil, and golden juice with a pungent smell fell from the city wall, directly harvesting the lives of these money-loving early birds.

As the tragic siege of Crake Hall officially began, the smell of blood, meat, and stench began to permeate under the walls of Crake Hall.

Bang, bang, bang!
The iron-skinned oak door of the Crake Hall was constantly hit by thick and long battering rams, and several bolts behind the city gate were creaked by the huge force.

"Patrick, the battering ram of the city gate, five explosive fruits!"

Clay kept scanning the battlefield with his eyes, and when he heard the slamming sound of the city gate under the city wall, he turned his head calmly and gave instructions to Patrick beside him.

"Yes!"

Exploding fruit?What is it?
Seeing Patrick leaving with a group of soldiers with strange belts tied around their waists, Ramsay was full of doubts.

bang, bang...

Within a few minutes, there was a series of rapid explosions, and the battering ram in front of the city gate of Crake Hall was directly exploded by five explosive fruits.

wildfire?

No, the color is wrong, is it a new thing he developed?
Looking at the many fragments of the battering ram that were blown into the air, Ramsay couldn't help frowning and thinking.

He thought he was at home in the Iron Fleet, and he thought he should be closer to Robb by now.But now he found that he seemed to miss a lot of things when he was in the Iron Islands.

"The enemy only uses wildfire to attack battering rams, which means that they don't have many wildfires. Push the battering ram and continue to attack. After opening the city gate, you will be the first to do it!

Shoot and cover them, archers! "

Seeing that his battering ram and nearby soldiers were all blown to pieces by the wildfire, Garland shouted to the soldiers pushing the spare battering ram behind the army formation.

Hey yo, hey yo!
After receiving Garland's promise, the soldiers pushing the battering ram exerted all their strength and quickly pushed the battering ram towards the gate of Crake Hall.

Seeing the battering ram approaching again, Clay on the wall of Crake Hall didn't care.

The number of explosive fruits that Robb handed to Clay was not too much, and although they could not be used to mass-kill the siege soldiers, ten battering rams would not be able to open the door of Crake Hall.

The most critical problem is that there are too many enemies!

Looking at the densely packed siege ladders on the wall of Crake Hall, Clay showed a slightly worried expression on his face.

Although there are more than 6000 guarding soldiers in the Crake Hall, it is impossible for them to guard the city wall like an arhat.

The wall of Crake Hall, which is not a fortress-type castle, is already full of more than 2000 defenders at the moment, and there is no room for more soldiers.

But in the face of the siege soldiers who continued to climb up, they were somewhat stretched and exhausted.

In the siege of Crake Hall, which lasted for only a short while, the defenders had already killed at least a thousand siege soldiers.But for the vanguard troops with a total of [-], the casualty rate was just close to the first level.

For the [-]-strong army of the River Bend Kingdom, it can only be regarded as a little bit of injury.

Therefore, under the encouragement of unequal troops and money, these siege soldiers of the River Bend Kingdom can still maintain high morale and attack the city bravely.

what! ! !
A siege soldier wearing brand-new armor jumped onto the wall, and just as he let out a roar, he was hacked to death by several surrounding defenders.

But this can be regarded as the start of the cruel battle on the city wall of Crake Hall!

At the point where the city wall of Crake Hall was first breached, the two siege soldiers jumped onto the city wall when the garrison soldier killed the No. 1 siege soldier just now, and began to fight back to back Start a close fight.

After a hole was poked out of the originally tight city wall defense line, there would definitely be a second, and a third.

After the siege soldiers of the River Bend Kingdom died, the siege ladders behind them were continuously replenished.After the death of the guarding soldiers in Crake Hall, other soldiers waiting in line on the stone ladder of the city wall will also replenish.

As time went by, the corpses on the city wall of Crake Hall, which looked like a grinding disc of flesh and blood, had been piled high, and the thick layer of sticky blood was spread on the city wall.

Bang bang bang!
Cha Cha Cha!
The sound of exploding fruit was heard again from the city gate, while the guarding soldiers running on the city wall stepped on the muddy blood, trying to fill the defensive loopholes on the city wall with their own lives.

Damn it, the soldiers of the Tyrell family are much more difficult than expected!
no solution anymore!

Looking at the precarious defense line of the city wall, Clay turned directly to the three people who were leaning against the city wall, and said, "Master Ye Zi, please help me defend the city wall!"

After Ramsay saw Clay turn around to speak, he stared closely at the three who never showed up.

Although he has always been curious about the identities of these three people, he does not think that only three people can hold the defense line of the city wall that is about to collapse.

"Tell your men to back off!"

The man in the middle tore off his hood after hearing the words, and it turned out to be Ye Zi who hadn't shown up for a long time.

"Yes!"

After hearing the words, Clay nodded in agreement, and immediately issued his order to the defenders on the city wall.

The guarding soldiers who were fighting brutally heard the order, and immediately retreated towards the stone ladder of the city wall behind them, and gave the city wall to the siege soldiers of the River Bend Kingdom.

Moo ang!Moo ang!
When the soldiers who were besieging the city suddenly easily occupied the city wall and felt a little dazed, two low-pitched roars reached their ears.

With the city gate tower of Crake Hall as the center, two huge woolly mammoths with two thick, long and curved tusks suddenly appeared.

They are like two heavy tanks, charging from the left and right of the city gate tower.

Those who dared to block them along the way, whether they were siege soldiers or various piles of corpses, were all knocked off the city wall forcefully by them, or directly impaled on their long and thick fangs.

At the same time, a melodious and pleasant singing, which seemed to be in an unknown language, sounded on the battlefield.

After the ground below the city wall trembled slightly, a long and narrow crack appeared abruptly along the wall of Crake Hall.The depth of this crack was only tens of centimeters, and it did not have any impact on the city wall.

But for the siege soldiers with siege ladders, this was a fatal effect.

bang, bang...

Countless siege ladders fell to the ground, and countless siege soldiers who were climbing fell heavily.

Just relying on the three of Ye Zi, the defense line of the city wall that was about to collapse was immediately stabilized. Even the siege soldiers who were lucky enough not to be knocked off the city wall by the woolly mammoth were chopped into meat paste by the defenders who surrounded them again.

Ramsay stared at the three of Ye Zi dumbfounded, completely unable to believe what happened just now.

And Clay not only did not have the joyful expression on his face to defend the city wall, but instead muttered to himself with a sinking face:

"Too bad, the fighting power of the Tyrell family army is stronger than expected. This is the third day they arrived, and we have already played all our cards on the first day of the siege.

This time it worked so well because the enemy didn't understand our methods.

If the opponent thinks of countermeasures, how should he defend next?
Even if His Majesty ends the battle in a short period of time, and then rushes to the Crake Hall to support, it will take about seven or eight days at the earliest.

There are still four days... Crake Hall, it should be impossible to keep it! "
