Game of Thrones: Attack on the North Wolf

Chapter 205
Harrenhal covers a huge area, and the thick and steep city wall stands up like a cliff. From the ground, the guards and defense equipment in the battlements on the top of the city wall are as small as sparrows.

Harrenhal's gatehouse was as large as Winterfell's main keep, its stone cracked and faded.From the outside of the city gate, the five towers can only be seen from the top of the tower because the view is blocked by the high wall.

Among the five towers of the castle, the shortest tower minus half was taller than the tallest tower in Winterfell, but none of the towers was intact.

The tower that was baptized by the scorching dragon flames of the 'Black Death' Balerion was like a melting candle. The stones of the tower cracked and the whole was scorched black.

Boom boom boom!
In the Burning King Tower in the middle of the night, Magic Mountain's deputy, nicknamed 'Sweetheart Raff' Raffd, had just fallen asleep when he was awakened by a hasty knock on the door.

"Master Raffod, it's not good, the enemy has begun to attack the city again!"

When Raffod opened the door with a sleepy face, an anxious Lannister family soldier rushed to report.

"Why panic? Don't they have to come every night during this time? Let's go!"

Raffod didn't even bother to put on his own armor, so he put on an officer's casual uniform and took the lead in walking towards the gatehouse of Harrenhal.

Stepping onto the messy city gatehouse wall, Laffod saw more than 1000 defenders on the city wall, composed of soldiers from the Lannister family and soldiers from the Stormlands.

They all looked drowsy and did not respond to the countless torches constantly moving under the city wall.

Raffod rubbed the sandy hair on the top of his head, wanting to punish these defenders of Harrenhal but felt unable to do so.

There was really no way, because some time ago, the Magic Mountain just took half of Harrenhal's remaining troops out of the city to plunder.The combined armies of the North and the Riverlands surrounded Harrenhal like nothing else.

Then, they tried to attack the city from different directions with scattered small forces during the day, and continued to harass at night.Let the remaining more than 1000 Harrenhal defenders be mentally and physically exhausted.

In fact, when he saw the densely packed enemies outside the city wall, Raffed was quite nervous in the early stage of the siege.

But then he found that the enemy was purely harassment at night, so he ordered half of the soldiers to guard the city, and the other half returned to the city to rest.

As a result, the enemy commander seemed to know exactly where the forces at Harrenhal were going.During the routine harassment that night, a large number of shield soldiers were suddenly dispatched to cover a special carriage and rushed towards the city gate.

Fortunately, Laffod, who rushed to the city wall in time, found something was wrong, after the archers' attacks were all blocked by the shield soldiers.

He decisively threw down two of the last four barrels of wildfire that Lord Tywin had left in Harrenhal as a trump card.

Immediately afterwards, the two barrels of wildfire were detonated by Laffed with a large number of rockets, and after the special carriage was swallowed by the flames of the wildfire, there was a deafening violent explosion.

The violent explosion near the gate tower of Harrenhal directly blasted the huge fastened city gate, which had already faded, into a gap big enough for normal carriages to pass through.

At that time, Raffod looked at the huge mushroom cloud that dyed the night green, and his jaw was so shocked that he couldn't close his jaw.

If he hadn't used his trump card without hesitation, his head would have hung on the gate of Harrenhal before dawn.

Loughd, who came back to his senses, took advantage of the raging green flames in front of the gatehouse of Harrenhal, and immediately called the defenders of Harrenhal to release a large number of prisoners from their cells, and supervised them to quickly repair the gate of Harrenhal.

Before the wildfire was extinguished, the defenders of Harrenhal led a large number of prisoners to dismantle a large number of cell door panels and posts, completing the emergency repair of the city gate.

Laffod knew that after the gate tower was repaired in this way, this big gap would definitely become the focus of the enemy's attack.

Therefore, he ordered his soldiers to supervise the prisoners to knock down a partition wall of the stable, and then use these stones to completely block the big gap.

After this frightening night, even if Laffod knew that the enemy's night siege actions were mostly just harassment.But he also had to be on guard, just in case.

He believed that the Mountain, who was looting outside, must have discovered that Harrenhal was besieged, as long as he persisted until the Mountain came back with reinforcements.

Woo!
After tossing about for an hour or two with countless torches outside the city wall, they finally moved back amidst the sound of a low-pitched horn.Sure enough, tonight is still a routine nighttime harassment by the enemy.

Raffod didn't let the tired defenders of the Dreadfort go to rest. He gave a casual order and went back to the Burning King Tower to continue resting.

However, he did not rest for long.Three hours later, just after dawn, the combined army of the North and the Riverlands was ready to launch a siege on Harrenhal again.

"Send the order, the whole army launches a general attack!"

Outside Harrenhal, Lord Tytos still wore a cloak of raven feathers.After he loudly gave his order to the messenger, he turned his head and said to Earl Jason beside him,

"Earl Jason, today, I will hand over my back to you!"

"Don't worry, Lord Tytos. As long as I'm not dead, there won't be a scar on your back!"

Earl Jason, wearing the armor with the family crest of the Mallister family, directly lifted a sharpened sharp axe from the ground, and assured him in a firm tone.

"What are you dying for? After this battle, we still have to drink together!"

Earl Tytos immediately glared sideways at Earl Jason after hearing the words, and spoke in a reproachful tone.

"Haha, I know you don't want to accept being poured down by me last time. Okay, I'll give you a chance to pour me down!

Then, I will prepare first! "

Upon hearing his words, Earl Jason immediately laughed out loud and answered twice, then waved his hands and turned to leave.

Earl Tytos looked at Earl Jason's seemingly relaxed back, and the expression on his face gradually became serious.

Although Earl Tytos and Earl Jason are both nobles in the river, but their two families have no interest relationship, and no relationship by marriage.The relationship can barely be regarded as a nodding acquaintance.

But during the siege of Harrenhal, the two earls with similar personalities gradually became good friends.

Earl Jason's duty today is both dangerous and important, and Earl Tytos can't think of anyone else to take up this duty except him.

Woo!
The horn sounded to launch the general attack, and a large number of siege soldiers with wooden shields and super long siege ladders flocked to Harrenhal like ants.

clang, clang, clang!
The guard post on the wall of Harrenhal immediately noticed that this battle was obviously different from the previous ones, and immediately cheered up and beat the alarm bell continuously to warn.

More than 1000 defenders of Harrenhal, wearing armor and resting on the wall, were immediately awakened by the alarm bell. They cheered up and dragged their exhausted bodies to prepare for the defense.

Huh, huh, huh!
It took a while for the siege soldiers under the city wall to enter the bow and arrow shooting range of the Harrenhal defenders before the relatively sparse rain of arrows began to rain on the city wall.

Duh, duh, duh!
These sparse arrow rain attacks did not cause much damage to the siege soldiers. They quickly approached the towering city wall of Harrenhal like this, and firmly set the extended siege ladder on the city wall.

Afterwards, many heroic siege soldiers either climbed the siege ladder steadily with their wooden shields on their hands, or simply threw away the wooden shields and used both hands to climb the siege ladder very quickly.

Whoo, whoo!
Whoa!

A large number of irregularly shaped stones and golden juice made from various kinds of excrement faced these heroic siege soldiers.

Putting aside the stone, the use of golden juice as a defensive method was learned by Tywin in Riverrun.However, this kind of simple and collected means of defending the city did cause great casualties to the climbing siege soldiers.

Coupled with the unusually high defensive walls of Harrenhal, it was difficult for the siege soldiers who fell from the super long siege ladder to survive.

Fortunately, after hearing about His Majesty Robb's various classic siege methods, Earl Tytos successfully implemented the night harassment tactics.

After the Harrenhal defenders drew their bows a few times and threw a few stones, they began to feel more tired than ever before, and their attack rhythm slowed down involuntarily.

Feeling that the pressure from the top of their heads was relieved, how could the siege soldiers who were climbing the siege ladder miss this opportunity.Start climbing up quickly.

Soon, a heroic siege soldier was the first to climb the walls of Harrenhal.However, after he killed the two slow-moving defenders of Harrenhal, he was directly submerged in the enemy crowd.

However, after a line of defense in Harrenhal was breached, there were successive breakthroughs.Gradually, siege soldiers stood firm on the city wall, and more and more siege soldiers came behind him.

Looking at the precarious city wall, Raffod couldn't care less about anything else.Immediately sent an order to transfer all the soldiers guarding the city gate and the more important positions in the city to the city wall to participate in the defense.

"Master Raffod ordered that all soldiers go to the city wall to participate in the defense of the city!"

At the door of the underground storage room of Harrenhal, two soldiers wearing the family crest of the dark green sea turtle rushed to inform the two Lannister family soldiers who were standing guard.

"Huh? Tell us to participate in the defense of the city? What about here?"

A Lannister soldier heard the words and asked in a dubious tone.

"The city is about to be destroyed, so what do you do here?"

"Well, I'll stay here. You can go to Master Raffod to comply with this order."

The Lannister soldier who spoke first was about to agree, when another soldier who was more cautious suddenly spoke.

"it is good!"

Clang, clang!Tear!

The Lannister soldier nodded in agreement and had just stepped between the two Esmond soldiers who had sent orders.The two Ismond family soldiers suddenly drew out their long swords and slashed at him fiercely.

"you……"

The remaining Lannister soldier screamed and wanted to draw his sword, but he was killed by the two together in the next second.

"It's very noisy outside, and no one heard the sound and came down to check. It seems that their other group's operation is relatively smooth!"

After killing two Lannister soldiers, an Ismond family soldier listened carefully and spoke.

"Well, let's go in and carry the wildfire! If we fail to open the gate of Harrenhal today, then we will die!"

The other Ismond family soldier heard this, and opened the door to enter the underground storage room with an anxious expression on his face.

These Ismond family soldiers are several confidantes of Ola Ismond.Aura made up her mind to surrender after being defeated by Robb in the west.

Later, when exchanging prisoners before Riverrun, Robb took the opportunity to return him to Tywin.

Although Aura followed Kevan's army to King's Landing because of his status, he took the opportunity to keep several of his confidants in Harrenhal.

During this period of time, all kinds of news about Harrenhal, including the Magic Mountain leading troops out to plunder, internal troop mobilization, etc., were delivered by Aura's confidantes through a pre-set method.

Now, one group of them came to capture Harrenhal's remaining two barrels of wildfire, and one group went to free all the prisoners held, causing chaos.

The siege soldiers' frontal attack on Harrenhal and the internal operations of the Esmond family soldiers went very smoothly. However, Earl Jason, who was leading [-] elite infantry, was facing a severe test.

Da da da!
Nearly [-] Lannister cavalry took advantage of Earl Tytos's commanding army to press against the walls of Harrenhal, circled out from the hill behind them, and came straight towards the rear of their army formation.

As the distance drew closer, the burly knight leading him, who could only be carried by a very strong tall horse, caught the attention of Earl Jason.

Magic Mountain!

The existence of the physical ceiling of an ordinary human in Westeros can completely play a key role in breaking more with less on the battlefield.

"Archers draw their bows to shoot, shield soldiers raise their shields, and pikemen cock their spears!"

Watching the Magic Mountain cavalry unit getting closer, Earl Jason calmly gave his various orders.

Crack, clang!
The shield soldiers at the front inserted their kite shields heavily into the soil, while the pikemen used their gleaming steel spears to set up a steel forest to the outside.

Ok?
Watching a small group of cavalry break away from the Magic Mountain cavalry and accelerate toward their side.Earl Jason frowned.

Sierra! ~~
After this small group of cavalry stepped on the horse trap and the tripping rope on the ground, they immediately fell on their backs.

However, this also caused the Magic Mountain cavalry units behind to immediately change direction, and they began to circle to the right.

Obviously, after a long series of wars.Both parties have a relatively clear grasp of the enemy's tactics.

After spreading a few cavalry out of a safe charging path, the Magic Mountain cavalry unit charged towards Earl Jason's army formation from the right.

Hum, huh!
Whoa, whoa!
The moment the two sides collided, a large amount of human and horse blood was spilled on the ground.Not only Earl Jason's troops were knocked out by war horses, but also Magic Mountain's troops were smashed into rags by spears.

Tear!

After holding the two-handed giant sword in one hand, Moshan swung the spear in front of him from side to side, and easily broke into the infantry formation.Under his terrifying swing, the two-handed giant sword immediately caused a large number of casualties.

In the middle of the infantry formation, Earl Jason looked at the Magic Mountain, which was very conspicuous even in the dense battlefield crowd, and was constantly rushing forward. He tightened the sharp ax in his hand.

Hum, huh!
While driving the horse, the Magic Mountain kept hitting the enemy and rushed forward, while waving the two-handed giant sword left and right.Just when he was in the middle of nowhere, seven hoplites in full body armor stood in front of him.

clang!
Moshan didn't think too much about it, as soon as the strong muscles in his arm exerted force, the blood-stained two-handed giant sword over there slashed the head of a hoplite, making a crisp sound.

His slash didn't cut off the heavy infantryman's head as easily as before, but the huge power contained in his giant sword broke the heavy infantryman's neck and made his head droop. next to.

For Magic Mountain, killing these heavy infantry is just a little more effort than ordinary infantry.

Sierra!

Just as the Mountain's gaze was attracted by the hoplite, a figure shoveled past him from the right.The right front leg of the tall war horse under Moshan's crotch was cut off by Qi Gen, and he fell to the ground with a mournful cry.

The Magic Mountain riding on it naturally also fell heavily.When a surviving heavy infantryman wanted to go forward to make up the knife, he was slashed horizontally by the magic mountain who suddenly sat up, denting his waist armor.

Ah!
During this period of time, he was unable to attack the large besieging army, and knowing that King's Landing had no reinforcements, Mo Shan stood up and let out a roar, venting the negative emotions accumulated in his heart.

Pop, pop!
After roaring, Mo Shan directly held his sword and rushed towards the enemy who had just cut off his horse's leg.Seeing this, only three hoplites left immediately attacked and blocked him from three directions.

And Earl Jason, who cut off the horse's leg with a sharp axe, stood up and also turned back to help them encircle the Magic Mountain.

After the magic mountain was shot down from his horse, the remaining cavalry troops behind him were not led by his incomparably sharp arrow, and the speed of breaking through the infantry formation gradually slowed down.

But their momentum of charge has not been completely contained, and it is only a matter of time before they penetrate Earl Jason's army.

Tear!

Grasping a mistake made by Earl Jason, the two-handed giant sword in Moshan's hand slammed into his stomach and out of his back.

what!
The irritable Demon Mountain did not directly pull out the two-handed giant sword from Earl Jason's body. Instead, he grabbed the handle of the sword with both hands, and then let out a low growl, piercing Earl Jason's entire body on the sword and thrusting him into the air.

Earl Jason, who was stuck on the giant sword with both hands, suddenly looked up at the unopened gate of Harrenhal, then sighed softly.

The [-] infantry he led was an elite unit composed of veterans from the northern border and Hejian land, and most of the siege soldiers were recruits.

Since they failed to take down the gate of Harrenhal before the Mountain Cavalry broke through, they had no choice but to be defeated in the face of the next charge of the Mountain Cavalry.

"Hey, let me be in such a mess, pay the price with your life now!"

A large amount of blood from Earl Jason's body spilled on the armor of the Devil Mountain, and the Devil Mountain stretched out his tongue to lick the blood that flowed from the helmet, and said in a muffled voice.

Patrick, I can't see the day when you follow His Majesty Robb to take the Iron Throne!

Earl Tytos, let's drink our wine in the next life!

Hearing the words of the Magic Mountain, various life memories flashed through Earl Jason's mind like a revolving lantern, and finally these two sentences came out.

"Cough, bah!"

Count Jason exhausted all his strength and spit out a mouthful of bloody saliva towards the magic mountain below.

Bang!
The angry Mountain threw Earl Jason heavily to the ground, and then slashed at him fiercely with his sword.

Da da da!
While the Magic Mountain was swinging his sword and whipping the corpses, a sound of horseshoes came from the left side of the battlefield where they were fighting.

I saw that thousands of cavalry wearing all kinds of dilapidated armor charged towards them aggressively without flying any flags.

In front of them, Berry, wearing a blindfold, looked excited, and said to himself: "Gregor Clegane, you have reached the end. Today, the Lord of Light will deal with sin You, the heavy one, bring down judgment!"
