Game of Thrones: Overlord of the Deep Sea

Chapter 191 Study Boy Roose Bolton
After handing over his plan to the Xinbing soldiers, Roose Bolton decided to put some pressure on Last Hearth City.

In the end, Hearth City had four gates. Luce planned to pretend to attack the south gate, and then release the east gate.

Once Kahuo City wrote a letter asking for help, Hearth City would definitely go to the east gate with the weakest defense in the end, and then they could ambush reinforcements from it.

These tricks are learned by Roose from Robb Stark.

If Jack knew what Roose Bolton was thinking, he would definitely be surprised. Wei San Que Yi and Wei Dian Da Ai are just for you to understand.

But I have to say that Robb Stark is a military genius, and his combat style completely broke the rules of war in Westeros and the world.

He didn't confront Tywin Lannister at all, and Tywin naturally hoped that Robb and himself would confront him head-on in the river.

And Luce followed Robb and learned a lot of tactical skills.

I was worried that Robb would not fight blindly, but I didn't expect that it would benefit me a lot in the end.

Luce immediately summoned 1000 people to attack the South Gate.

At this time, there were 1000 defenders in Hearth City, and [-] each in Deepwood Castle and Kahuo City. However, there were a large number of wildlings in both cities. Although they could not compare with the regular army, they were enough to defend the city.

Tormund personally commanded the defense on the city wall, watching the Bolton army charge, with a look of disdain on his face.

With Varamyr around, Bolton's army will always be under their surveillance, and no matter what moves they make, they will be informed in advance.

You must know that Varamyr has three snow wolves, a snow bear, a shadow lynx and an eagle under his command.

In the face of war, the first five are useless, but the Eagles are different.

In Jack's words, an easy walker who can control flying creatures is a satellite, and the stronger the soul power of the easy walker, the more advanced the technology of the satellite.

Jack has long been recruiting easy walkers, but easy walkers are too rare, and only the blood of the ancestors can give birth to easy walkers.

So until now, no more than ten easy walkers have been recruited, but basically they can only control some small animals, such as mice and so on.

These people are basically useless in the war, and now Varamyr is still the strongest scout in the army.

"Tormund, only our side has been attacked." Although Varamyr was short and thin, he was not weak in the slightest when talking with Tormund.

Tormund's face changed. Some time ago, when Luce was besieging the city, he met Luce.

This old man knew that he was personally defending the city, but he still chose to attack the south gate. He clearly looked down on him!

Varamyr saw that Tormund's face was not good-looking, and instantly understood Tormund's thoughts, and reminded: "Tormund, don't forget the queen's order. You must not take the initiative to attack until your majesty returns."

Due to the large gap in military strength between the two sides, Daenerys ordered to stick to the city and wait for Jack to come back before making a decision.

"Hmph, of course I know." Tormund snorted coldly.

He really wanted to lead people out of the city just now, to meet the Bolton family's army.

Varamyr glanced at Tormund and said nothing. Most of the nobles in the north chose to support the Bolton family, so Bolton's army was much better equipped than theirs.

And they still don't have an advantage in numbers. If Tormund rushed out just now when his head was hot, the city would be at risk of being lost.

"What do you mean by that look in your eyes? Am I, Tormund, such an impulsive and reckless person?"

Tormund's angry voice came, but Varamyr didn't bother to pay attention to him, and walked straight down the wall.

"I'll go down first, I can't die."

Tormund curled his lips at Varamyr's voice.

Then he began to direct the archers to get ready, and at the same time put the assembled trebuchets and ballistas on the city wall.

Jack was not idle during this time, he hired a large number of people to make siege and defense equipment.

Although the trebuchet and ballista are not as advanced as the dragon-shooting crossbow produced by the academy, they are still powerful weapons for defending the city in Westeros.

In Westeros, catapults are not very practical, and the same is true for ballistas. Westeros prefers horseback riding and hacking.

The tradition of head-to-head confrontation between the two sides has been maintained for thousands of years.

In contrast, there are more applications of catapults and catapults on the continent of Essos, and they are generally installed on warships. Merchant ships basically do not install catapults and catapults because they need to load more cargo. .

Take Euron's fleet for example. Ballistas and trebuchets were installed on his ships, which are very practical in the continent of Essos, where maritime trade is prosperous.

When building Atlantis, Jack tried to make gunpowder, but for some unknown reason, the energy released after the gunpowder ignited was far below expectations.

However, Jack still did not give up, and set up a thermal weapon research institute with special funds to try to find the reason, but unfortunately there was still no progress.

However, although the progress of thermal weapons is not smooth, the research on wildfire has made great progress. Unstable wildfire will solidify after adding oil fish fat, and the stability and energy released will be greatly improved.

Luce's tentative attack was easily blocked by Tormund.

Luce was not in a hurry, and kept sending shield soldiers close to the city wall, and would retreat quickly after a few waves of arrow rain each time.

The purpose is obvious, that is, to consume the defense materials of Hearth City. Luce felt that Jack had just arrived, and his foundation was shallow, and he did not have so much financial and material resources to build enough defense materials.

Of course, Luce was more creating the illusion that a general attack would be launched at any time, as a cover for taking Kahuo City.

But Kahuo City is so easy to take, especially the fierce Thenns who guard the city.

If the numbers and equipment of the two sides were at the same level, the Thenns would have killed Kerby long ago.

But if it is after all, although there are many people in the city who can participate in the defense of the city, especially the savages are all very tough, the limited number of weapons limits the performance of the Thenn tribe.

Saigon personally came to the top of the city to command the defense. The savage's thinking was different from that of the noble lord.

Aristocratic lords generally choose to command everything in the center instead of going to the front line to take risks.

Only when you have to or if you are very confident in yourself will you go to the front line.

Of course, although setting an example can boost morale, most nobles don't have the courage.

For example, Joffrey Baratheon in the Battle of the Blackwater River, the "Emperor of the Ages" fled the battle.

If it weren't for Tyrion's quick wit and a wave of inspiring speeches, King's Landing might not be able to hold on to the arrival of reinforcements.

But outside the Great Wall, because of the living environment, the law of the jungle is the law of survival.

Therefore, only the strong can be the leader, and a strong leader often takes the lead in the charge.
