Chapter 359 Barbecue Ironmen
The cans of Wildfire that smashed into the crowd are the sailors on the Ben Wolf Human throw.

Obviously, Wildfire incendiary bombs are not suitable for melee combat, especially boarding between two ships - Wildfire contaminated on the enemy's body and the flames ignited on the side of the enemy ship can easily follow the jumping gang. The contact with the two ships led to their own ships and soldiers, resulting in the end of one thousand injuries to the enemy and eight hundred to themselves.

But at the moment, four ships are attacking one ship, and one has been escorted, and the other two long ships that have been hiding out of range are also swarming close at hand, most likely to take advantage of the chaos. The Wolf climbed in other directions to join the battle. At this moment of life and death, if you don't resolutely hit the enemy but also consider whether the Wildfire will burn oneself - then soon, the people on the Wolf Run will have no chance to put out the fire!
In the sound of smashing, Wildfire incendiary bombs hit the Ironmen, and the splashed juice instantly poured onto their heads, shoulders and the deck below their feet. I don't know what the liquid on my body is for... The flowers of azure flame are easy to bloom in the crowd in an instant. Human body temperature and dry loose warm clothes allow Wildfire to spread faster than on the wet and cold hull. Over a dozen Warriors were engulfed in no time, and the BBQ Ironmen were cooked live!

The heart-piercing screams instantly replaced the cheering battle cry of the battle. Ironmen's beliefs and culture made them extremely afraid of fire, even more how is the burning hotness that burns on the body and hurts the heart Green flame? The Iron Island soldiers, who had gathered at the side of the boat a moment ago and were ready to slash with all their might, scattered like a nest of mice splashed in boiling oil in a roar of various tones—fearing that the fire would spread to their own ship, The Night's Watch soldiers who manually threw the Wildfire tank aimed as far as possible at the center of the deck far from the edge of the enemy ship. The Ironmen in the front row closest to the gang were not on fire... but the fire spread quickly, in line with the one that hit the stern sail earlier. The tank has the potential to engulf the entire ship in an instant.

The crowd was forced to fry the pot by the green flames, and those who were wrapped in the fire jumped into the sea screaming, while the remaining soldiers who were forced to retreat, after a moment of confusion and panic, crossed between the two ships desperately. In the gap, jumped up to the Ben Wolf.

 …

Maege wiped off a bit of fire star that had splattered on the breastplate with gloves, and tapped the side of the boat hard with the Spiked Mace in his hand: "Good young man North. Guys, today is the time to prove your courage!"

"Long live North!"

In the distance, another Ironmen sailing ship in charge of covering stopped fire for fear of accidental injury. , two small, one large and three ships surrounded North's Ben Wolf and launched boarding operations from three directions at the same time.

"Long live the Iron Islands!"

"Kill—"

In the heat of the wooden boat and the Wildfire burning, the sound of killing after a short pause restarted. It sounded, and the first soldier who jumped on the Wolf Run drove the North soldier who was closest to the oneself back with a knife, but on the other side was a short and old-looking woman. I was about to sneer at "North even sent women to the battlefield", but saw the woman waving her arms ruthless, Spiked Mace flew towards oneself's chest with impeccable speed and strength, and it was too late to stop, He fell backwards in a strong force, with no support behind him, and fell into the water in the gap between the two boats.

The difference between boarding and field combat is that you step on the deck instead of the ground, but it is different from land combat: because the combat field is small, both sides have no way to retreat, and the battle is usually fierce and difficult. Chaos, personal martial skill in this case is not as big as the usual skirmishes. When the Ironmen attacked, they would board enemy ships as close as possible by lining up and crowding with attendants crowding round. Formation to enter the group, in this case, the Ironmen will be oneself in three directions, left and right, or at least two directions after boarding the enemy ship until they establish an advantage.

But this time...the few cans of Wildfire that were just smashed into the crowd completely destroyed the formation of the jumping gang. Of course, there were very few people who were swallowed by the fire and had to jump into the sea. Wildfire's luck is also less than one, most of the Ironmen plunderer are holding weapons in one hand to guard against opponents' attacks, while rushing to beat the flames smeared on the armor, but with little success. In such a state, how can we win the war?
The North soldiers who had been waiting for a long time had already shouted slogans and pressed down like a wall. The flesh and blood flew with the blade light and sword shadows, and the scorched flesh and the smell of oil smoke soon mixed with the smell of feces and urine. The Ironmen Warrior, who had just jumped on the boat a moment ago, was either chopped into meat sauce or driven in. nautical miles.

"Don't mess up! Leave a team to put out the fire, and a team to get the oars - push the boat on the opposite side away! Come with me if you're not injured, go to the other side and continue to fight back!"

>

Two times one after the other formidable power The slightly weaker impact and vibration, the two longships also seized this just opportunity to get on the Run Wolf, and the hook ropes were thrown up in a mess. Due to the lack of one deck, the hull of the longship is one person taller than the Ben Wolf. The experienced Captain Ironmen often waits for his medium and large ships to entangle and restrain the enemy's deck personnel before approaching and climbing calmly. , in order to minimize the disadvantage of attacking from low to high...

This move is often useful, and this time is no exception: the wounded, dead, enemy incendiary and boarding on the deck of the Wolf Run The sporadic flames brought by the personnel turned the situation into chaos. In the chaos, someone had to take the oars and push the burning enemy sailboat away to avoid being buried with him. In the end, only seven or eight people were free to deal with the entire two ships. A new enemy to join the battlefield.

The oarsmen of the long boats are Warriors themselves. There are more than 50 people on the two long boats. As long as they can climb on the deck, they can completely turn the tide of the battle!

But the battle didn't go according to the script - because the two longships were greeted by a few wildfire incendiary bombs that were equally ruthless and reckless.

Small longships don't have as much space as a sail battleship to hide and escape, and when two newly approaching Ironmen ships are engulfed by the same green flames, few sailors on them can even Completely spared, the height difference between the two boats cut off the probability of the longboat oarsmen jumping into the boat. Amid the reappearance of the group screams, these dozens of Ironmen Warriors who could have decided the outcome also chose to jump into the boat to put out the fire, even if they died, they would die in the sea so that Soul could go to the Watery Halls of Drowned God...

The threat from the people disappeared for a while, and only three globs of flames raging above the water surrounded the Wolf Run.

Individual North soldiers with bows and arrows or watching or calling out the Iron Island sailors who were in the water and were still moving towards the boat to try to climb, while more crew members were towing the boat from the cabin Oars and sticks, brow beaded with sweat to push the three flaming enemy ships as far away from the Run Wolf as possible.

In the distance, the captain of the fourth sailing ship, who was waiting for his teammates to win, couldn't believe oneself's eyes at all. After repeatedly confirming that all the friendly ships had been destroyed, he ordered to fire again to attack the Benlang. No. After several rounds of tossing that no one could hit, he was afraid of Wildfire's terrifying formidable power, and finally chose to withdraw from the battlefield. With the huge mobility advantage, he quickly disappeared from sight - let the incendiary bomb The nearly depleted Ben Wolf was greatly relaxed.

…

The first Bay of Ice battle started abruptly and ended quickly. The only person from the North side who participated in the battleship was killed, and more than 20 people were seriously injured. Most of these people were burnt and scalded during the firefighting after the battle. After the last enemy ship escaped, they spent more than an hour extinguishing the spot where the oneself ship had been set alight by the indiscriminate use of Wildfire with pre-prepared sand and stones, and went to great lengths to make sure the ship was afloat.

The hull is full of burnt or knocked out potholes, the mainmast is unreliable due to a core shot, and no one dares to hoist the sails...Finally, Run Wolf Picking up a few prisoners of Iron Island nobles, leaving ordinary soldiers waiting to die in the icy waters, relying on six oars to take turns, and forcibly rowed the bruised and crooked North Fleet "flagship" back to the ice Gap Harbor.

＊＊＊

The news of this naval battle reached the Lord Commander of the Night's Watch in Queenscrown on the second day, and the Ironmen ships cruising in the Bay of Ice finally I still found the existence of Ice Gorge Harbor... Igor's response to this was that, while maintaining the original reinforcement arrangement, he would give the land-grant battle strength to the strongest troops - "Queenscrown Rangers" (actually James Lannister) Headed by the Westerlands gang) - sent to Ice Gap Harbor to strengthen the defenses of this westernmost fortress.

The conflict in the Bay of Ice, although related to Night's Watch, was essentially an extension of the North and Iron Islands wars, and news of the naval battle arrived at about the same time as the Shadow Tower Commander. patrol report.

The dispatch of Rangers from the Bridge of Skulls across the gorge to scout the Weirwood Woods to the north was Igor's response to the "Bran Returns" major event node in order to be prepared and forewarned.

Others have not launched a general attack on the human kingdom for four full years after the awakening of Lands of Always Winter in the beyond the wall. Such a long wait inevitably brings a slack atmosphere to Night's Watch. : Intellectually, it is known that Others will strike at any time, so they are actively preparing for battle; but intuitively, not to mention the ordinary soldiers below, even Igor, the self-proclaimed clear-minded supreme commander, can’t help but feel this way—should not today.

But this time, the speed with which Qhorin Halfhand sent back the news from the West Bridge greatly exceeded everyone's expectations.

The first Rangers to cross the Bridge of Skulls to scout beyond the wall, ready for a big adventure, didn't get too far before easily spotting the trail they were trying to find - and it was Traces that are so obvious that they cannot be ignored: hundreds of thousands of ghouls that can't see the end, using rusted swords and axes, rotten bodies... In short, all possible methods are used to destroy the magnificent Weirwood forest.
