Chapter 188
"Ah! I'm not dead, I'm not dead! My God! What was that on the city wall just now?
It has a huge body and sharp fangs. I slashed it with a long sword before falling off the city wall, but I couldn't cut through its thick skin at all. It's too scary! "

"I heard that Robb Stark domesticated a man-eating monster before, so it should be this thing!"

"I think the more important thing is this sudden crack, magic? Witchcraft?"

After the three of Ye Zi took action, the siege rhythm of the soldiers of the River Bend Kingdom was interrupted.A large number of siege soldiers witnessed the unrivaled ferocity of the two woolly mammoths and the sudden appearance of the long and narrow crack.

Coupled with the publicity of the soldiers who fell from the city wall but were lucky to fall on the pile of corpses and survived, Garland's vanguard immediately talked a lot, and had no idea of ​​continuing to attack the city at all.

Woo!Woo! ~~
The low-pitched retreat horn sounded from behind, and the soldiers of the River Bend Kingdom who had no fighting spirit immediately retreated hastily as if they had been pardoned.

In the end, the corpses of the soldiers of the River Bend Kingdom covered in bright armor and blood stains were left behind, and the first battle of the Crake Hall came to an end.

Bang, bang!
After the first day of fighting, the guarding soldiers on the city wall of Crake Hall were cleaning up the remaining corpses.The corpses of one's own soldiers were collected and buried collectively, while the corpses of the enemy were thrown directly under the city wall.

There are quite a few corpses piled up under the city wall of Crake Hall, since the Riverbend Kingdom did not send logistics troops to deal with them after the war.That Clay will not send his own people to deal with it.

Although a large number of corpses on the battlefield are not buried or burned for a long time, it will cause plague.But generally speaking, these things are done by the victors after the war.

"Master Cray, we killed nearly 3000 enemies today. But we also lost more than 500 brothers, plus more than 200 people who were seriously injured and unable to continue fighting. A total of nearly 800 people!"

Although Patrick is older than Clay, Clay is the commander appointed by Robb himself, and he knows Clay's ability very well after the battles of Branded City and Crag City.

Therefore, as soon as the battle was over, he took the initiative to count the general battle damage between the enemy and ourselves, and then respectfully reported to Clay.

"Well, it's hard work. Let the ambulance team try their best to treat the injured brothers, and don't need to save Myr ointment. Also, the food supply for everyone will be doubled in the next few days!"

Clay looked at the three Ye Zi who were communicating in the original language in the distance, and he replied to Patrick without looking back.

"Master Clay, today is the first day of the battle, and we will not control the material reserves. If they besiege the city and fail to attack, then in the days to come we will..."

Hearing what Clay said, Patrick felt that the brothers who fought bravely deserved such treatment.But he still couldn't help but make a suggestion.

"They either fight or retreat. They will definitely not besiege the city without attacking. If we lose, these materials will be cheaper for the enemy. If we win, then there is no need to worry about the material problem."

"Yes!"

Patrick, who understood what Clay said, took the order and went directly to arrange many things.

Standing aside, Ramsay, who had finally recovered from the shock of Ye Zi's three shots, couldn't help asking Clay: "Master Clay, who are those three... people?
Moreover, you haven't given me any tasks during this time, what can I do for you? "

"Earl Ramsay, these three gentlemen are strange people recruited by His Majesty, and I am not very clear about the specific situation. As for not giving you a task, it is because His Majesty has specifically instructed me.

Your task is to stay in the crake hall with the ironmen under his command, and just watch the battle carefully! "

After Clay turned around and answered with a smile to Ramsay, he immediately greeted the three of Ye Zi who were gradually approaching.

"Master Ye Zi, are you alright?"

I had seen Ye Zi use magical magic to collapse part of the city wall in Golden Tooth City before, but her body was also backlashed by extreme eyes.

So Clay is very concerned about Ye Zi's body, because it is related to the outcome of the next battle in Crake Hall.

"I'm fine, but at least I won't be able to use this kind of large-scale magic again the day after tomorrow. But don't worry, with thorns and vines around, the humans below the city cannot attack the city wall!"

Hearing Clay's question, Ye Zi, who has lived for hundreds of years, could not understand what he meant.He immediately answered everything he wanted to know.

Ye Zi's use of 'Roar of the Earth' this time is not the same as that of Golden Tooth City.Although the range of magic this time was much larger than that of Golden Tooth City, the depth of the cracks in the ground was far different.

Using magic in reality is not like playing games. The deeper the ground is dug in reality, the greater the impact of various factors such as weight and structure.

Therefore, the deeper the cracks caused by the magic 'Roar of the Earth' tearing the ground, the greater the consumption of magic power.

Just imagine, if the leaf could tear apart a crack in the ground three to fifty meters deep, even the blood wind would be trapped in it.

So although the range of magic that Ye Zi used just now was large, the load on her magic power was far inferior to that of Golden Tooth City last time.

"Well, that's good! The enemy will not attack the city today, please go and rest first!"

"it is good!"

Ye Zi pulled up her hood and left the city wall with thorns and vines, while Clay and Ramsay looked at their backs and thought about each other.

Outside Crake Hall, the army camp of the River Bend Kingdom.

In the center of the camp, there is a very conspicuous super-large handsome tent with a luxurious and golden appearance.At this time, all the nobles and adults of the Riverbend Kingdom sat silently at the chairman's table, not knowing what to say.

Shocked by the extraordinary strength shown by the three of Ye Zi just now, Duke Metz's face was still a little stiff. He originally thought that the siege was nothing more than a meritorious feat, but he didn't expect to be slapped in the face by reality.

As if feeling the ultra-low air pressure in the handsome tent, he coughed, then forced a smile on his face and said:
"Hey, you should all have seen what happened just now. Express your opinions!"

"My lord father, it must be magic. Some people in Bitterbridge said that Renly I was killed by Stannis with magic. Now it seems that this is the truth!"

Loras, who was in charge of commanding the cavalry troops of the River Bend Kingdom, did not participate in the siege battle, but after hearing Duke Metz's question, he immediately stood up and talked about the past very excitedly.

"Loras, what we're discussing is the current siege of Crake Hall, not the unimportant past events!"

Duke Metz frowned when he heard this, and reprimanded him impatiently.

"Not important? I think it's very important..."

"Loras! Father, please forgive my brother's impulsiveness. He was once a Rainbow Iron Guard who swore allegiance to Renly I. This kind of loyalty is still very rare!"

Seeing that the father and son were about to quarrel, Garland immediately spoke to stop Loras, and set a reasonable step for Duke Metz.

"Indeed, let's not mention this matter in terms of Loras's loyalty. Let's go back to the theme of attacking Crake Hall."

"Father, the vanguard troops I lead have lost nearly [-]% today, and what happened last time, the morale of the soldiers is very low now.

Why don't we temporarily surround the Crake Hall first, and wait for other news from Deep Cave City before we decide whether to fight or withdraw! "

Seeing that the other river bend nobles bowed their heads in silence, Garland directly expressed his opinion to the Duke of Metz.

"Hey, what you said, Garland, is indeed very reasonable, why not..."

"No, if we are still in the ancient oak city, we can naturally garrison and wait. But now that we have intervened in this war between the western border and the northern border, we must fully demonstrate our strength and toughness!
This lion and wolf are ferocious beasts, if they find our weakness.Maybe they will all rush forward and tear us to pieces first! "

Earl Landau, who was dissatisfied with the Duke of Metz's forceful arrangement to supervise the battle in the back row of the army, originally planned to remain silent.It can be seen that the father and son went further and further on the wrong path, so he couldn't help interrupting the Duke of Metz's decision.

"Impossible. The Lannister family is our ally. To show his sincerity, he gave up a third of the Dorne frontier. Besides, we have enough food and grass in the Reach, and we have [-] soldiers. Who dares to provoke us? "

Since accepting the position of Hand of the King, Duke Metz has seen the strength of the Riverbend Kingdom from various statistics, so he is very confident in his own strength.

"Hundreds of thousands of troops! But with half of the troops of the Riverbend Kingdom, we can't even take down the crake hall guarded by thousands of people. How does this make other nobles think of us?

Prime Minister, I can assure you!

If we can't win Crake Hall this time.Then whether we establish a covenant or establish diplomacy in the future, we will be in a weak position! "

"This……"

Although the Duke of Metz does not have any military or political talents, the Queen of Thorns has always trained him as a superior.At this time, Earl Landau's words, he can still feel whether they are correct.

"Father, I think what Earl Randle said is right! And the Tully family has always been a heroic vanguard, why not let Earl Randle command the vanguard to attack the city tomorrow!"

As long as he doesn't talk about Renly I, Loras still has relatively high wisdom.At this time, he interjected a sentence very appropriately.

"Yes! Although I want Earl Landau to be the last trump card, but the current battle situation really requires them to be the siege vanguard.

So decide! "

"Obey! I will find a way to take down the crake hall as soon as possible!"

Hearing what Duke Metz said, Earl Landau nodded expressionlessly to accept the order, and then he continued,
"My lord, today I need the full support of the logistics force to carry out some minor renovations, please allow me!"

"Well, I agree!"

The attackers and defenders of Crake Hall passed the first night of the siege peacefully in this way, and came to the second day of the siege, which was the fourth day after the Riverbend Kingdom arrived.

Woo!
With the sound of the attack horn sounded by the Riverbend Kingdom, the second siege of Crake Hall kicked off.

Huh?
Clay, who was standing on the wall of Crake Hall, couldn't help but let out a small sigh when he saw the attacking phalanx of the Riverbend Kingdom.

The offensive formation of the Riverbend Kingdom today was completely different from yesterday's. Today's formation was tight and neat, and the rain of arrows did not cause much damage at all, and their speed towards the Crake Hall was also much faster than yesterday.

"Let the brothers cheer up, the enemy seems a little different today!"

"Yes!"

The soldiers guarding the city of Crake Hall had only fired two rounds of bow and arrow volleys, and the opponent had already pushed under the city wall.

Click, click, click!
clang, clang, clang!
Rows of siege ladders with hooks on the top are firmly hooked on the wall of Crake Hall. Iron nails were driven into the city wall.

These siege ladders that were originally slanted directly became stairs nailed vertically into the city wall.Although this is more conducive to the defenders' attack, it can avoid the sudden cracks yesterday and the interruption of the attack.

Bang, bang, bang!
what! ! !
The siege of the second day was no less tragic than yesterday. The corpses that had already started to pile up under the walls of Crake Hall were even taller. Many siege soldiers even stepped on the corpses to climb up in order to avoid climbing a section of the siege ladder. .

Similar to yesterday's siege, the main attack direction of the Riverbend Kingdom was still the long and narrow city wall of Crake Hall.The battering ram at the city gate was destroyed by the explosion fruit just now.

In fact, today's siege ram is reinforced with thick wooden shields around it, and the fruit of the explosion cannot simply blow it up.

But Patrick, who already had some experience in using the explosive fruit, first ordered the three throwers to say five silent beeps before throwing after scratching the surface lines.Then the other three throwers throw again in this order.

When the first three explosive fruits dropped close to the battering ram, they exploded violently. The wooden shield reinforced by the battering ram was directly exploded, and then the next three explosive fruits easily exploded from the inside, destroying the battering ram.

"It's time, father, it's almost time for me to go!"

Behind the vanguard of the siege, a muscular young man with a tough appearance asked Earl Landau to fight.

"Well, Dickon, wait for that battering ram to drive towards the city gate, then follow the plan I gave you yesterday!
Pay attention to protect yourself! "

Looking at his second son Dickon, Earl Randall reached out and patted his shoulder, and said with a concerned face.

"I'll pay attention! I'll definitely win the crake hall for you!"

"Well, I'll see for myself here!"

Hearing his son's confident words, Earl Landau smiled and nodded to him, then turned his head and ordered to the attendants beside him, "Let them push out that battering ram!"

Sure enough, as Earl Randall expected, when the extra-large battering ram remodeled overnight was launched, all eyes on the wall of Crake Hall were basically attracted by it.

And Dickon led nearly a thousand direct soldiers of the Tully family, carrying huge leather water bags, and quietly blended into the huge attacking phalanx.

Bang bang bang!
In order to prevent this huge battering ram from destroying the city gate, the throwing team led by Patrick used a lot of explosive fruits.

This extra-large battering ram was blown beyond recognition but still approached the city gate unswervingly.

At the critical moment, a thrower heroically jumped from the city wall onto the battering ram, then drilled into the inside of the extra-large battering ram to sacrifice himself, detonating the explosive fruit on his body.

The crisis at the city gate of Crake Hall was resolved in this way, but when most people's eyes were attracted by the extra-large battering ram, the city wall was occupied by Dickon and his family's soldiers.

There is no way, the thorns and vines can only use the real transformation to transform into a woolly mammoth to charge again.

clap clap clap!
Deacon and others, who had been prepared for a long time, threw the huge cowhide water bag on their backs on the city wall, and a large amount of cooking oil contained in it spread all over the city wall.

Their method caused the two woolly mammoths to lose their balance and fell heavily on the city wall.

Crake Hall, it's over!

Seeing the siege soldiers constantly rushing up the city wall, the woolly mammoth trying to get up on the city wall, and the anxious Ye Zi who couldn't use magic, Clay couldn't help sighing heavily in his heart.

呲, 呲, 呲!
At this moment, the sound of ice crystals freezing came from behind the wall of Crake Hall, behind Clay and the others.

Ouch!
Crack, crack!
A huge figure suddenly descended from the sky and smashed heavily on the city wall of Crake Hall. At the same time, waves of white ice mist centered on this huge figure continuously spread to the left and right of the city wall.

In an instant, the edible oil sprinkled on the wall of Crake Hall was directly frozen under the ice layer, and the feet of the siege soldiers of the River Bend Kingdom who rushed up the wall were firmly frozen in the ice layer!
