Game of Thrones: Attack on the North Wolf

At the south gate of Gaoting, Vilas was struggling to wave his cane in the air, directing the defenders to launch a fierce attack on the siege soldiers under the city wall.

It's just that unlike Earl Landau, who has rich battlefield experience and a clear mind, the young Vilas, who has read all kinds of books, is commanding operations according to the war books he has read.

When Vilas led an army of [-] rivers to Night Song City for the first time and was ambushed, the number of ambushed people was obviously smaller than them.

But as soon as he saw that his hastily formed formation was broken, he didn't try to continue to organize a counterattack, so he followed the book and led his troops decisively to break through the encirclement as soon as his formation was broken.

Vilas, who has ample knowledge, will be very good if he is a staff member who talks on paper.However, he lacks battlefield experience and is making the mistakes of Zhao Kuo in his previous life at this moment.

Facing an astonishing number of siege soldiers from the combined army, he ordered his defenders to open fire as soon as he came up, and beat up these Hewan soldiers who were first abandoned by him and then forced to attack the city.

Because most of the war books Vilas read indicated that morale was one of the most important factors in war.And a large number of casualties will quickly drop the morale of the enemy, eventually leading to an unstoppable defeat!
Huh, huh, huh!
Boom, boom, boom!
what! ! !
The battle situation under the southern city wall was just as Vilas expected. The arrows shot by a large number of archers defending the city and the spears and crossbows shot by the giant crossbows caused huge casualties to the soldiers in the river bay below the city.

Different from the situation on the north side of the city wall, these river bend soldiers under the south side of the city wall could not even get close to the city wall under the attack of the defenders with full firepower.

The morale of these Hewan troops dropped rapidly. One of the Hewan soldiers finally collapsed and fled after being strung together into candied gourds by spears and crossbows.

The hundred-man jihadist group assigned by Sir Bonifer to supervise the battle began to play a role at this time.These pious warriors who believed in the Seven Gods were directly divided into two teams, each with thousands of Stormland cavalry to kill the fleeing river bend troops.

As devout believers, the hundred-member jihadist group killed people mercilessly, without a trace of mercy at all.For it is to them mercy to send the most sinful sinner to the Stranger.

The fleeing Hewan soldiers were quickly cleaned up by the supervisory team, and the remaining soldiers could only bite the bullet and continue to attack the city.

Because they also knew that the interior of Gaoting was empty at the moment and the defense was weak. They still had a glimmer of hope of surviving or even making a fortune by breaking through the city wall, but escaping would undoubtedly mean death.

In this way, the nearly [-] soldiers surrendered in Hewan gradually became the remains of corpses scattered under the city wall on the south side.

Sir Bonifer was indeed very good, and he really waited until the cannon fodder troops composed of soldiers from the River Bend were exhausted before launching the general attack.

Similar to Oberyn's side, the combined army of Stormland and Reach controlled battering rams, siege ladders, trebuchets and other siege equipment and began to launch a fierce attack.

This!
We have already killed almost one-third of the enemy's troops, why is their morale still so high?

On the city wall on the south side of High Court, Vilas stared at the aggressive enemy army rushing towards High Court and stood there in a daze.

However, after a brief moment of stupefaction, he immediately directed the defenders to continue attacking the city.However, the soldiers defending the city wall on the south side were clearly showing signs of fatigue, and the pace of attack gradually slowed down.

啁！
A high-pitched eagle screech came from overhead, and Vilas found his falcon circling the Mande River in the southwest as a warning.

The Falcon's speed and flying height are better than the Raven's, so it is basically impossible to be shot and killed by enemy archers who block the Raven around.

It's just that falcons don't have the ability of ravens to deliver letters, so they can only play a little bit of scouting role, which is better than nothing.

Woo!
The urgent sound of the horn followed by the sound of the eagle's chirping!
Afterwards, Loras, who was closest to the southwest, immediately saw the many small and medium-sized paddling warships occupying the Mande River, and the towering tower family emblem with a burning beacon erected on top of them!

Great, it's the Hightowers!

Looking at the Hightower family's fleet on the Mande River, Vilas, who was worried about the decline in the state of his defenders, couldn't help showing a smile on his face.

The reason why Vilas is so happy is because with the addition of the Hightower family, the balance of this high court offensive and defensive victory will begin to tilt towards them!

The Redwyne family and the Hightower family are the two wealthiest and most powerful families in the Reach except for the Tyrell family.

I don't know if this is a kind of balance deliberately designed by the former River Bend King,
These two families plus the once powerful Florens family of Brightwater City, these three families check and balance each other and compete with each other in the southwest of the Reach.

However, the status of the Hightower family is somewhat special. This ancient family once surrendered to the successive river bend kings at the cost of giving up the crown, and was able to maintain its current privileged position.

They prefer trade and business, dislike war, rarely participate in the civil war in Westeros, and invested in the establishment of an institution in charge of all bachelors in Westeros, the Academy!

Before the Hightower family joined Renly II's camp and helped the Redwyne fleet destroy Stannis' royal fleet, the Tyrell family was already surprised.

Unexpectedly, today they took the initiative to come to help Gaoting lift the siege crisis!
Hu, Hu, Hu!
When the galleys of the Hightower Fleet quickly approached the Mande River Bridge near the West City Gate, dozens of burning asphalt barrels from the medium-sized galleys in the fleet slammed into the two thousand combined troops. Infantry formation.

Bang!what!
These scorching asphalt buckets exploded violently in the formation of the United Army, and the high-temperature, viscous dark brown liquid instantly splashed on the surrounding infantry of the United Army.

These unlucky infantrymen rolled and struggled on the ground like howling ghosts and wolves, trying to rub off the irritating and corrosive asphalt.

At the same time, the burning asphalt emitted a highly irritating and toxic black mist, which made the eyes of the infantry of the United Army around them turn red and they began to cry involuntarily.

Huh, huh, huh!
Taking advantage of the panic of the infantry of the United Army, the Haitou fleet continued to attack. A very dense rain of arrows was shot from the oar warships, and fell into the opponent's army in a covered manner, causing a large number of casualties in an instant.

The infantry unit of the joint army, which has less than 2000 people, did not know whether it was stunned by this sudden attack. Facing the Haitou fleet that was rapidly approaching the port near the west city gate, they did not organize a decent interception offensive.

Bang, bang, bang!
Go!

kill!
As soon as the medium-sized oar warships of the Hightower fleet approached the port of West City Gate, countless springboards were thrown from the warships.Subsequently, a large number of soldiers with roaring mouths and waving weapons in their hands successfully landed through the pedals.

As for the large number of small paddling warships, they either rushed straight to the land very simply, or when they approached the shallow water area of ​​the port, the soldiers on board directly jumped out of the boat and waded towards the shore.

After a while, about one-third of the Haitou fleet approached the port area, and about [-] soldiers successfully landed in the port area of ​​Xichengmen, and began to kill the infantry units of the United Army above the Mande River Bridge. go.

If someone observes carefully, they will find that the [-] soldiers who landed successfully, besides the soldiers of the Hightower family wearing the armor of the towering family emblem, there are also a large number of Essos mercenaries in different costumes.

For the Hightower family, which is located in a prosperous old town, they can easily recruit two or three times as many troops as ordinary nobles.If they were really in danger, spending all of Oldtown's resources could raise a staggering number of troops.

Facing the soldiers of the Hightower family that were two or three times larger than their own, the commander of the infantry unit of the joint army shrewdly chose to retreat without a fight, and retreated in the direction of Sir Bonifer's army on the south wall without hesitation.

Oh no!

The soldiers of the Hightower family, who occupied the Mande River Bridge without any effort, let out mocking roars as they watched the infantry units of the United Army who had fled far away.

"Open the door, I am Garth Hightower of the Hightower family, and I have come to support Highgarden in response to Lady Olenna's call!"

A burly and handsome young general stepped out from the crowd of Hightower soldiers, came to the gate of the west city, and shouted loudly towards the defenders on the city wall.

"Galth Hightower, 'Grey Iron', indeed, I've seen him before."

"Even if it's him, we can't open the city gate at will in this state of war!"

"Should someone be sent to report to Lord Veras or Earl Landau?"

"Didn't you hear? The Hightower family is here to support Highgarden, this is a friendly army!

How long does it take to send someone to notify you?The crime of delaying the battle is very serious! "

On the wall of the west city gate, several captain-level officers of the Tyrell family heard Garth's words.There was a heated discussion about whether to open the door.

The commander who has the decision-making power lowered his head to think about the pros and cons, and did not decide whether to open the city gate for a while.

Gals frowned and looked at the officers who were chatting on the city wall. He suddenly looked back at the [-] impatient Hightower soldiers behind him, and nodded slightly.

Among the crowd of Hightower soldiers, a soldier wearing the armor of the Hightower family quietly took out from his arms a piece of gemstone that was milky white in color, with translucent surroundings and light blue iridescence in the middle.

Afterwards, the soldier stared up at the officers of the Tyrell family on the west city gate, whispered an unknown language, and the light blue iridescence of the jewel gradually deepened into a deep blue like the sea. .

The discussion among the officers of the Tyrell family, including the commander, came to an abrupt end, and then they all said bluntly, "The Hightower family is here to support, open the door!"

"...Open the door!"

The guarding soldiers around the city heard the commander's order to open the door, so how could they dare to neglect in the slightest.As the order was conveyed, the guards at the west city gate directly opened the unusually thick iron oak door from the inside.

Click, click!
After the west gate of Gaoting opened, Gals immediately waved his hand behind him.Nearly [-] Hightower soldiers poured into the west gate in a bad formation.

"Welcome, Lord Galth! I am..."

Tear!

Watching Garth stepping into the city, the Tyrell officer in charge of guarding the city gate was smiling and welcoming.Suddenly, Gals quickly pulled out the long sword at his waist, and cut a big gap in his throat in the blink of an eye.

"what are you doing!"

Huh, huh, huh!
There were about 100 guards under the west gate of Gaoting. When they saw Garth kill their captain, they immediately drew their long swords and shouted loudly.

But what answered them was the sharp arrows prepared by the Hightower soldiers behind Garth.

what! ! !
Dozens of Tyrell guards were shot and killed on the spot, and the remaining dozens were brutally besieged and killed by Hightower soldiers who rushed like beasts.

After finishing off the guards at the city gate, Gals, whose face was covered in blood, led the group of wolf-like Hightower soldiers to rush up the city wall from the steps on the left and right sides of the city wall.

After a while, hundreds of soldiers of the Tyrell family on the wall of the west gate were slaughtered.

"Leave 300 people to guard this city gate, and wait for my elder brother to lead the follow-up army to continue to land. Then, the soldiers of the Hightower family followed me to the north gate. The bright flag group led the mercenaries to the south gate."

After Garth quickly assigned the tasks of his family's soldiers and the Bright Banner Mercenary Group, he took the lead and walked along the city wall towards the north gate of Gaoting.

Crack, crack!
At the north gate of Gaoting, the two flamethrowers at the gate had long been turned into waste due to the exhaustion of raw materials.However, the raging flames under the city gate are still crackling and burning, and the siege soldiers will not be able to enter the high court through the north city gate for a while.

Oh!

Wearing the iconic leather armor, Oberyn pierced the right eye of a guarding soldier with the Golden Snake Lance in his hand, and with a smile on his face, he gracefully jumped from the wall to the north wall.

Whoa, whoa!
Seeing that an enemy had climbed to the top, several soldiers defending the city immediately surrounded him and wanted to kill him.

But the golden snake spear in Oberyn's hand really stabbed a few times like a poisonous snake's surprise attack, and the soldiers defending the city immediately fell to the ground clutching their bloody throats.

As Oberyn stood firmly on the north wall, soldiers from the Martell family continued to climb up the siege ladder behind him, and began to expand their territory on the wall little by little.

Clang!
Seeing that the soldiers defending the city could not repel the enemy with many defensive equipment, Earl Randyll led Dickon out of the defensive round tower, pulled out Broken Heart and said to him: "Dickon, if the city wall here falls, you will do as much as you can!" As many as possible retreated towards the second wall with the Tully soldiers.

The route is the familiar one these two days, remember, you have to survive! "

"Father, I..."

Dickon was about to answer when he heard Earl Randall's words, which seemed to be an explanation for his funeral.A loud noise came from their left side.

clang, clang!
kill!
High Court is broken!

Ah!
Earl Landau and his son listened carefully. These noisy sounds were made up of the impact of various weapons, shouts of killing, and screams.

"Not good! It should be that the west city gate has been breached!"

"How could it be? The enemy army is mainly attacking the north and south gates!"

"I don't have time to think about these questions. Hurry up and greet the soldiers of the Tully family, and immediately retreat towards the second city wall!"

Earl Randyll and Dickon exchanged glances, and after a quick exchange, they resolutely gave up on the north wall, which was absolutely impossible to defend, and hurried to the steps of the city wall with hundreds of soldiers of the Tully family.

In this way, there seems to be a high court with many defensive equipment and a high wall.He didn't even persist in the siege on the first day, and the first city wall fell directly!

In the port area of ​​the west city gate of Highgarden, Baelor Hightower is directing his soldiers to remove the many ships left behind by Garth after landing.Then I heard the scout on the watchtower shout loudly: "There is a large fleet approaching from behind, it is the Redwyne family!"

Baylor curled his lips with disdain upon hearing this, and then said to himself: "Hmph, Paxter Redwyne, that old guy! He must be afraid of being accused of betraying the lord, so he deliberately waited for us to break through Come to the city gate!

If it wasn't for the face of that great man, I would definitely have wiped out the Redwyne family as well! "
