Game of Thrones' opening sold the gods

Chapter 98. 97. Leading the world by half a foot
Without the encumbrance of the Reach, James marched at a very fast speed, and soon came to the "Lady's Spring Town" in James' impression.

James squinted his eyes and looked at Maiquan City, whose city wall was more than ten meters high. A trace of confusion flashed across his face.

After repeatedly confirming to his subordinates that this is "Maiden Spring Town", James frowned. The city wall looked like it was made of a single block of stone.

Even if he hadn't tried to siege the city, James could feel how tough the city wall was.

Coupled with the huge catapults visible to the naked eye on the city wall, James' expression was very gloomy.

It is impossible to win this kind of strong city in a short time. The most uncomfortable thing is that James doesn't know how many defenders there are in Maiden Springs.

At this moment, James was about 200 meters away from Maiden Spring City. Nikita looked at the distance, and then gave his men a wink.

Then two pulley catapults began to charge and load, and then a basketball-sized stone was placed on the catapult, and the soldiers ignited the hemp rope on the stone.

Nikita waved his right hand, and the two stones flew towards James' troops.

Although James James and other soldiers in the front row saw it, the soldiers behind were not so lucky, because no one looked up at the sky, and it was too late to escape when Flint appeared on everyone's faces.

The lives of several people were taken away in an instant, and it was only at this time that James realized that he immediately ordered everyone to disperse.

Soon Jaime gathered the army at the center, and retreated to a safe distance to begin reorganizing the soldiers.

Seeing the defenders above Maiden Springs now, James knew that the opposite party must have known about the Iron Throne's movements in advance, which is normal, after all, Cersei's current situation is not concealed at all.

In order to be able to take down Maiden Spring City before Hejian's army, a large number of 1 people were quickly assembled to take down Maiden Spring City.

The cavalry of the Eight Thousand Valleys hurried along the path while scouting the Hejian army on the King's Road. In their opinion, the soldiers of the Riverland must take the King's Road.

Not to mention the danger of so many people walking along the path, it would also greatly slow down the marching speed of the Hejian Land.

The marching speed of the eight thousand cavalry on the small road was much faster.

James knew that he didn't have much time. Facing the tens of thousands of troops from the Riverlands, once the army from the Riverlands arrived, the troops led by James would be in danger.

James didn't want the army in the Reach to arrive before the army in the Riverland. Seeing the character of Sharbel before, expecting him would be better than expecting the Riverland's voluntary withdrawal.

Later in the evening, James' army began to gather quickly after eating.

After the soldiers on the guard tower of Maiden Springs discovered James' movement through the binoculars, they reported immediately.

Everyone hastily arranged a special steel wire mesh on the top of the city wall. This steel mesh is similar to the shape of a square prism on the top of a rolling door in modern society.

The side close to the city wall is fixed with iron wires, which makes it almost impossible for soldiers who want to climb the city wall. If they want to climb the city wall, they have to bite the bullet and pass through the barbed wire.

However, although the diameter of the barbed wire is only half a meter, it is not easy to pass through this half-meter distance.

Nikita looked at the approaching southern coalition forces, turned to the adjutant beside him and said, "Prepare the solid wildfire bombs. The trebuchet uses flint first, and then the crossbowmen prepare it."

Nikita asked the trebuchet to launch the stone first. If the wildfire bombs were used as soon as they came up, then Jaime's army would definitely retreat quickly after the initial panic.

In this way, the power of the wildfire bomb will not be able to maximize its effect, and it will also expose the hole card in advance.

As the first wave of southern coalition forces came to the city wall with the indiscriminate bombardment of catapults, when the siege ladder was erected on the wall of Maiden Spring City, the soldiers looked up and found the strange barbed wire.

The presence of barbed wire makes the siege ladder wobbly and looks very unstable.

However, the soldiers still climbed up the ladder. However, when the soldiers climbed to the top, they discovered that the shiny metallic thing was covered with barbs.

This made them instantly stuck on the ladder, neither advancing nor retreating.

At this time, the crossbowmen began to exert their strength, and a large number of crossbowmen began to shoot at the climbing enemy troops, and the crossbows in their hands were hand crossbows researched by the Iron Islands Research Institute-Weapon Department.

This kind of hand crossbow is 70 cm long. It is loaded by the pulley block on the right hand side, and above the hand crossbow is the arrow compartment, which can carry sixteen crossbow arrows at a time.

Fast loading and large capacity, but the effective range is only 20 meters, so this hand crossbow can only be used in some special scenes, and cannot be projected like an archer.

The siege engine on the other side began to hit the door under the cover of many soldiers.

After the first impact, everyone was stunned. In the past, the city gate would shake violently after being hit by the siege vehicle.

Why is this city gate still motionless? ?
Seeing the increasing casualties, James finally ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops.

More than 1000 people were injured in one siege, and now James only has more than 1 people in total.

And the sky is getting dark. At this time, the advantage of the attacking and defending side is too great, and it is really not suitable for attacking the city.
