Game of Thrones: Digger of the Dreadfort

Domeric led the remaining 500 soldiers and arrived belatedly. He originally came to support Wendel and the others, but he did not expect that he would not even have a chance to clean the battlefield.

"Lord Domeric, we have won!

Many trophies were also seized! "

Wendell rushed out of the camp covered in blood and shouted excitedly when he saw Domeric.

"What were the losses to the soldiers?"

Domeric paid no attention to the trophies.

This time he went deep into the valley alone. No matter how much he seized, it would be meaningless if he couldn't take it away.

In comparison, Domeric was more concerned about the casualties of soldiers, after all, this was related to the execution of the next series of plans.

"Sixteen of our troops were killed in the battle, 16 others were slightly injured, and ten were seriously injured. More than 30 people died on the mountain people's side..."

Wendel said excitedly: "But we killed more than 200 enemies and captured 240 soldiers from the Eagle's Nest City, more than 300 horses, more than 400 pairs of armors, and knights' swords and spears..."

Nestor's army totaled only more than 500 people.

In this case, wouldn't it be almost completely destroyed?

Domeric said in a deep voice: "You and the mountain people can distribute the spoils freely. As for the captured Eagle's Nest City soldiers...

Let the Black Ear Tribe of Leader Zira take care of them first, and then deal with them after we capture the Eagle's Nest City. "

"By the way, Valley Steward Nestor Royce, have you caught him?"

"Well...uh"

Hearing this, Wendel scratched his head in embarrassment: "Accidentally, Nestor escaped with more than a dozen guards, riding fast horses, and judging from the direction, he fled back to the Eagle's Nest City."

Speaking of which, he had sworn to capture Nestor alive.

"Forget it." Domeric glanced at Wendel.

Wendel's night attack was very beautiful and the results were impressive. He would not be too harsh on this matter.

"You and the soldiers under your command have made great achievements, and I will reward you when you return to King's Landing." Domeric affirmed.

Clear rewards and punishments, and a combination of kindness and power, are the keys to maintaining a strong combat effectiveness of an army.

Chapter 171 The gods are joking

Wendel immediately asked: "Lord Domeric, what should we do next?"

"Of course I beat up the drowned dog!"

Domeric smiled and thought for a moment: "You need to repair for a few days and prepare some siege equipment, and then join forces with the Alpine clan tribe to besiege the Eagle's Nest City!"

"Okay, I'll do it now."

Wendel smiled sarcastically and turned around to convey the order.

……

Three days later, a long army composed of Domeric's soldiers and more than 3000 mountain men formed.

Along several mountain roads, they converged towards the Eagle's Nest City.

If you look down from a high altitude, it looks like countless ants returning to their burrows.

-----------------

Blood Gate Castle.

To reach the Eyrie, the invaders must capture the Bloodgate Keep, which guards the mountain road to the Eyrie, and then ascend the mountain via a very narrow path.

Therefore, the Blood Gate Castle is the most important line of defense in the Eagle's Nest City.

"Blood Gate Fort" is the collective name for a series of battlements located on the dangerous cliffs on both sides of the mountain road leading from the Mingyue Mountains to the valley.

The "Blood Gate" at the front is composed of two watchtowers, standing on the rock wall, connected to a weathered gray stone arch bridge.

The leader of the Blood Gate Castle, the Knight of the Blood Gate will ask those who try to pass through: "Who wants to pass through the Blood Gate?"

Anyone without permission cannot step into the Blood Gate!

At this moment, in front of the Blood Gate, there were more than a dozen large trucks transporting supplies to the Eagle's Nest City.

"Elba!"

Nestor waved to his son. He escaped from the mountain men's night attack by chance a few days ago and now still shoulders the responsibility of guarding the Eyrie.

Alba trotted over quickly and saluted: "Father, what are your orders?"

Nestor sighed quietly: "Are there enough food and supplies in the castle?"

"Enough. We have stored a lot before, and I have sent people to nearby towns. A new batch of supplies should be shipped soon."

"Have you received letters from Runestone City, Iron Oak City, Red Barrier, and Heart City recently or seen anyone coming from them?"

"This is not."

"Okay, go get busy."

"Yes, father."

Nestor looked at Alba's leaving figure and sighed secretly.

The reinforcements he expected never arrived, which inevitably made him a little anxious.

damn it!

Gods behold, the Royce family of Runestone City, the Iron Oak Waynwood family, the Redford family of Red Barrier, the Corbray family of Heart City...

You won’t really die without saving your life, right?

Not a single reinforcement was seen, but more and more mountain people gathered outside.

Although the opponent has not launched an attack yet, Nestor feels that this day may not be far away.

This group of mountain people came prepared and would not give up easily.

"Lord Nestor, Lord Nestor!"

A voice interrupted Nestor's thoughts.

"What's wrong?" Nestor recognized the other person as the attendant of one of his knights.

The attendant trotted up to Nest, took a breath, and then said: "Sir Ram asked me to tell you that the forward troops of the mountain people have arrived and may attack us at any time."

Nestor felt a chill in his heart, and quickly climbed up to the watchtower where the Blood Gate was, and looked down.

Sure enough, we saw a large number of mountain people gathered on the mountain road below, estimated at 700 people.

This should only be the forward troops.

Nestor looked up and could vaguely see follow-up troops coming from the direction of the Mingyue Mountains.

It seemed that the mountain men were indeed preparing for a massive attack.

After all, the Alpine Clan and the Aylin family of the Eagle's Nest City have a thousand-year feud.

But these mountain men...

In the end what happened?Why did it suddenly become so powerful?

Nestor has lost more than 600 soldiers at the hands of the mountain men, which is almost the total of the past ten years.

The Alpine Clan is a scattered patchwork of sand, and each tribe has deep hatred for each other. This is why they have never posed a threat to the Eagle's Nest City.

However, thousands of mountain people appeared in Donggu Town, and it was obvious that the mountain people from the Mingyue Mountains were out in full force.

Could there be a powerful "King of the Mountain Men" to unite all the tribes?

And their tactics!

Isn't the mountain man's tactic to fight guerrillas or rush forward in a swarm?

However, during this period, Nestor was in a state of shock!

From the use of ambush to eliminate Nestor's hundred-man forward, to the front and rear outflanking tactics of night raids a few days ago, they are not at all like tactics that the mountain people can use.

Gods above me, this kind of progress is too exaggerated!

Nestor has an even bigger headache!

Seeing that the mountain people's army is gathering more and more, he only has a total of 500 troops. This is the only army left in the Eagle's Nest City...

If he hadn't killed those 600 soldiers, maybe the situation wouldn't be so critical.

However, the terrain of Bloodgate Castle is dangerous, otherwise Nestor would have fled on horseback to join his cousin Yorn Royce.

But even if it occupies a favorable location, the situation is not optimistic.

If the mountain people surrounded the Blood Gate Castle, over time, the people in the Eagle's Nest City on the mountain would starve to death.

Therefore, Nestor could only hope for reinforcements from the valley.

Nestor had already released the messenger crow early, calling for help from the surrounding nobles.

It was true that the group of nobles wanted to see Duchess Lysa make a fool of herself, but the "mountain men besieging the Eagle's Nest" situation was such a big deal.

Even if Yon Royce of Runestone City is dissatisfied with Duchess Lysa, he should come to rescue her.

Otherwise, if the Eagle's Nest City is breached, it will bring shame to the entire valley nobles.

But even if they were willing to come to the rescue, it would still take time. Thinking of this, Nestor regretted not releasing the messenger crow earlier.

Just for Mrs. Lysa's pitiful self-esteem?

……

The mountain men did not attack immediately, but patiently waited for the arrival of follow-up troops.

Wait until the next day.

There are nearly 5000 mountain people, and they have covered the mountains and fields so densely that you can't even see the edge at a glance, which makes your scalp numb.

Nestor looked into the distance nervously.

Until a dull horn sounded.

Under the rays of the sun.
