Game of Thrones: Digger of the Dreadfort

They saw a thousand-man brigade forming part of the mountain people's military formation, approaching the defense line of Blood Gate Castle.

The front row of mountain man soldiers held huge oak shields, followed by spearmen, then archers, and finally rows of chariot-like equipment.

They all wore armor and fur coats.

Flags filled the sky, spears and spears were like a forest, and they marched in an orderly and high-spirited manner, making them look like an elite troop.

Nestor couldn't help stroking his forehead and sighing.

Gods, are you kidding me?

When did the mountain people become so well-trained and well-equipped!

He took a deep breath, suppressed all the distracting thoughts in his heart, and ordered in a seemingly calm tone:

"Blow the horn!"

"Prepare to meet the enemy!"

Chapter 172 Reinforcements are coming

Blood Gate Castle, below the city.

Dozens of "big yellow crossbows" were placed on makeshift chariots.

One soldier was responsible for carrying the crossbow arrows, another soldier was responsible for aiming, and the remaining three people twisted the crossbow string and quickly tightened the big yellow crossbow placed in the arrow slot.

There was a "snap".

The fired crossbow arrows were like javelins.

The "Big Yellow Crossbow" designed by Domeric himself, its power is between the hand crossbow and the bed crossbow, and it is convenient for mobile combat. It has exerted great power in attacking giants outside the wall and capturing King's Landing City.

Although there are several powerful bed crossbows here at the Blood Gate Castle, their operation is complicated and the attack frequency is too low. Instead, they are suppressed by Domeric's "Big Yellow Crossbow" and cannot lift their heads.

"Fuck!"

"Fuck!"

……

Dozens of crossbow arrows as thick as spears.

It was like a torrential rain hitting the defenders at the top of the Blood Gate City. This scene was truly frightening.

Unless you are protected by a shield, once you are hit, you will either die or be injured.

The armor on the Valley Knight would have a greatly reduced protective effect against such an attack.

After this round of crossbow arrows were fired, not many soldiers dared to show their heads on the Blood Gate City.

At this moment, Valley Chief Nestor Royce looked horrified.

God knows how these mountain people developed such sharp weapons!

Drums of war.

Under the cover of the "Big Yellow Crossbow", the Domeric army disguised as mountain men continued to advance.

They filled in a deep and wide trench outside the Blood Gate.

Then, under Domeric's order, they spread out along both sides of the mountain road and confronted the defenders at the top of the Blood Gate City from a distance. At the same time, they used the long-range firepower of the "Big Yellow Crossbow" to suppress the opponent's head.

Then, a group of soldiers slowly approached the main city gate pushing a huge ram.

These improvised rams are not as powerful as the rams used in the Battle of King's Landing.

But you can still bluff someone even if you barely do it!

The sound of "bang bang bang..." is endless.

……

And more than 3000 warriors from the Alpine Clan tribe led by Qi La and others have crowded the mountains and fields around the Blood Gate Castle, and some who cannot stand even climbed to the top of the mountain.

Domeric knew very well that it was unrealistic to expect them to attack the city. Once the unorganized and undisciplined mountain people got into chaos, it would be a disaster for the friendly forces.

Therefore, the task Domilik gave these more than 3000 mountain people was to stand in the mountains and fields, wave flags, shout, and beat drums to cheer!

The power must be strong and the shouts must be loud!

In short, don't cause trouble, just scare people.

It has to be said that the Blood Gate Castle is indeed a line of defense that cannot be conquered.

From ancient times to the present, countless opponents have smashed their heads in front of the Blood Gate.

Because there is only one mountain road that can be used by large troops, the place where the battle can really take place is very small, and the area that the defenders need to defend is also very small.

In this situation, the defender has a natural advantage.

Unless human lives are used to replace it, it is unrealistic to capture the Blood Gate Castle in a short time.

But Domeric's purpose was not to capture the Bloodgate Castle, but just to make Lysa Tully in the Eyrie feel fearful, fearful, or preferably trembling with fear.

In this way, when Domeric transformed into a reinforcement, he defeated the mountain men who besieged the city and solved the siege of the Eagle's Nest City.

Then Lysa Tully would definitely eat a pot of jelly to welcome the king's master, and then respectfully invite him to the castle.

……

The fighting continued until dark.

After all the arrows of the "Big Yellow Crossbow" were fired, the car barely knocked out a few big holes in the city gate, and then completely disintegrated.

Domeric's first wave of attacks finally came to an end.

It seems that Wendel has to arrange people again tonight and work overtime to create more rush cars.

The defenders of the Eagle's Nest City breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this.

However, Nestor, the steward of the valley, was not too happy.

Today's attack is obviously tentative.

This group of terrifying mountain men just wanted to find out the situation.

The real test will start tomorrow.

Day three.

After a night's rest, Domeric ordered people to attack again.

Amidst the rumble of war drums, various siege equipment filed out.

This time, their offensive was even more fierce.

In addition to the "big yellow crossbow" and the ram, there are more than ten trebuchets, but the stones are not thrown, but the "wildfire" that Domeric specially transported from King's Landing.

The Eagle's Nest City soldiers at the top of the Blood Gate City stared at the enemies below with their eyes widened, and many of them held their breath.

"Sudden" crossbow arrows flew together.

"Rumble" car collision.

At the same time, more than a dozen trebuchets that had already been equipped with "wildfire" clay pots began to roar.

Accompanied by a whistling sound, the thrown "wildfire" clay pot landed on the head of the Blood Gate City.

"boom"!

There were dozens of loud noises and countless green flames burst out.

In an instant, fire and smoke spurted out.

The "wildfire" clay pot blew up large pieces of the unsuspecting Eagle's Nest City soldiers, who fell to the ground and howled loudly.

The soldiers behind were shocked and stood there blankly.

The entire city has been completely enveloped in flames and thick smoke.

"Gods above!"

"This is the fire from hell!"

"Help!"

"Who can help me……"

Hissing, lung-splitting screams came from all directions.

……

The people of the valley who had never seen the world were completely frightened by the power of "wildfire".

In just a few waves of attacks, hundreds of soldiers were killed or injured.

The entire Blood Gate City quickly turned into a barbecue plate.

Chaos and panic spread rapidly like wildfire, causing countless soldiers to run and scream on the city.

Upon seeing this, Domeric quickly withdrew his troops and returned to the camp. If he continued to fight, he was really afraid that these people would surrender.

How can he execute his plan?

……

Early on the fourth day, Domeric made a comeback again.

This continued until the sixth day.

Of Nestor Royce's 500 soldiers, less than 200 were dead.

The vast majority of soldiers died under the attack of "wildfire".

Nestor realized that these heaven-defying mountain men were going to burn them completely with the "terrible green fire" from hell.

But this could not shake his determination to defend the castle.

"Lord Nestor, Duchess Lysa summons you."

A knight came to deliver the Duchess's orders.

"I know." Nestor's eyes were tired.
