Game of Thrones: Attack on the North Wolf

Chapter 27 First Battle
The United Army set up camp on the first day they arrived at the Dreadfort. Since the logistics carriages had transported enough luggage, the tents arranged by the United Army far exceeded the size of [-] soldiers.

The Bolton defenders reported this situation to Luce, but after analyzing the feedback from the scouting cavalry, he believed that this was a confusion array set up by the young wolf master to deliberately increase the pressure on them.

At the same time, the logistics troops began to use the vacant transport carriages after unloading supplies, began to cut down and transport the trees in the surrounding forests, and built primitive siege equipment in full swing.

The joint army looked decent as a whole, but after three days, the logistical troops were still transporting wood and building equipment without even launching a tentative attack.

On the wall of the gate of the Dreadfort, Luce looked at the combined army camp in the distance, thinking expressionlessly.

As three days passed, he clearly felt that something was wrong with the silent performance of the joint army.

After the information was integrated, Luce, who was still clueless, thought carefully about the way his troops were deployed and the strategic layout in his mind, trying to find out the problems that existed there.

At present, Dreadfort has 1500 soldiers, of which 1300 elite infantry are used to defend the city, and 200 cavalry are waiting for the opportunity to make a surprise attack.

On Locke's side, 3000 infantrymen and 1000 cavalry were gathered in Stone Iron Town, which is half a day away from Fort Dreadful.

There are more than 400 cavalry on Ramsay's side, galloping towards the Dreadfort, which can be regarded as a backup force.

Dreadfort is easy to defend and difficult to attack. As long as the coalition army starts to attack the city, Dreadfort will become a meat grinder. The current defenders are enough to hold back all the coalition troops outside the city.

When they suffered heavy losses and their morale plummeted, Locke's troops made a surprise attack from the rear.

When the time comes, the Dreadfort will be attacked from front to back, and the combined army will be attacked from the front and back, and they will definitely win in one battle.

Woo!
On the morning of the fourth day, the Dreadfort finally ushered in its first siege.

There were roughly a thousand Winterfell infantrymen holding direwolf flags, wearing dilapidated mail armor, and carrying huge wooden shields crudely made by the logistics troops.

Forming a huge rectangular formation, they marched heavily towards the gate of the Dreadfort.

Under the protection of their wooden shields, other infantrymen carried a siege ladder that was also freshly baked.

Luce stood on the wall of the gate of the Dreadfort, looked at the soldiers of Winterfell who started to attack the city, and felt relieved.

He raised his right hand to stop in the air, and the archers on the wall waited with bated breath for his order.

"put!"

As the infantry stepped into the attack range, Luce waved his hand and ordered.

Whoosh! ...

Hundreds of arrows shone coldly in the morning sun, drawing a beautiful and deadly parabola, and rained down on the Winterfell soldiers' phalanx.

Dodododo! ...

Ah!
The rain of arrows fell on the wooden shield, making a muffled sound, like hailstones falling.

Most of the arrows were blocked by the wooden shield, but there were always some unlucky people on the battlefield who were hit by arrows from the gap where the wooden shield was joined and fell to the ground, making heart-piercing screams.

It is impossible for the Winterfell attacking phalanx to stop for these unlucky ones and continue moving forward unswervingly.

And behind them, some rescue team soldiers with linen heads tied on their heads came to rescue in groups of two with long shields on their heads.

They glanced roughly at the wounded on the ground, and gave up on those who could not be treated. If they could be treated, one of them would put the shield on them, and the other would drag the wounded to the rear.

As soon as the Winterfell attack phalanx reached the front gate of the Dreadfort, the wooden shield phalanx quickly separated, and the infantry hidden inside quickly erected the siege ladder towards the city wall.

At this time, the soldiers of the Bolton family on the city wall began to throw down head-sized stones, accompanied by many arrows.

what!what!
The screams of the soldiers in Winterfell were endless, and those who were hit by arrows may not necessarily die.But those who are hit by stones will inevitably have their heads exploded, and red and white splashes everywhere.

Some Winterfell soldiers holding bows and arrows under the city wall began to fight back. Some Bolton family soldiers were shot by arrows and fell to the ground before they could throw the stones in their hands.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Winterfell infantry began to climb up the siege ladder.

Whoa!

A Winterfell foot soldier was concentrating on climbing the siege ladder, when he heard the sound of water flowing above him, he looked up subconsciously.

A hot stream of hot oil directly covered his face tightly.

what! ! !
The skin and flesh on the infantryman's face was immediately reddened and festered, densely packed with blisters, and the skin tissue split and rolled.

The infantryman couldn't care less about holding on to the ladder, and fell straight, covering his face.

Due to a posture problem, his head hit the ground first, and the whole person no longer screamed and struggled, but his right foot twitched slightly, and it seemed that he could not survive.

It wasn't just this Winterfell infantry who fell, the Winterfell infantry on the siege ladders fell down like dumplings.

With the Bolton defenders' various defensive methods on the city wall, the infantry phalanx of Winterfell under the city wall lost more than 30.00%, and their morale was extremely low.

As an infantryman looked at the corpses of his comrades in various tragic deaths, and fled frantically, the entire infantry siege front of Winterfell City began to collapse.

Wooden shields, siege ladders, and standard long swords were all discarded, and the fleeing infantry only wanted to run faster.

The Bolton defenders on the city wall couldn't let go of this opportunity, and they all beat the dog in the water harder, trying to gain more merit in killing the enemy for themselves.

Oh woo!

When the Winterfell infantry fled and escaped from the attack range, the Bolton defenders let out joyous roars of celebration.

Luce looked at the infantry of Winterfell who fled back to the base camp, his face was expressionless, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Did there be a reply from Locke?"

Luce suddenly asked about the attendants around him.

"Lord Locke sent out a scouting cavalry team, and began to follow and observe the enemy army when they came to the range of the Dreadfort.

The overall strength of the enemy army is about [-], including [-] logistics troops. During this period, they are logging and transporting from the woods near the lonely mountain every day, and there is no abnormal behavior. "

The attendant in chain armor heard Luce's question and immediately answered,
"On the road from Dreadfort to Stone Town, although there are some bare hills, there are no woods, ravines, etc. that can hide a large group of people and set up an ambush. Lord Locke has led people to confirm repeatedly."

"Well, what did Ramsay say?"

Hearing the report and seeing that he was indeed a little worried, Luce nodded and asked about the situation of the illegitimate child.

"Lord Ramsay still needs at least five riding days to arrive. According to reports from his undercover spies, Robb Stark meets with the adults of various noble families in Winterfell City every day."

"Well, after all, I was too cautious. I wrote back and told Locke to prepare for battle."

After listening to the latest situation report, Luce nodded and gave his order.
"Also, let Ramsay come back slowly! By the time he returns, this war will be over."

After receiving the order, the attendants hurried down from the city wall and went to the crow's nest to convey Luce's order.
