Game of Thrones: Digger of the Dreadfort

There is no need to completely blow down the city wall, just blow up a suitable opening to allow the army to pass.

In the past few days, Domeric’s siege strategy is clear at a glance:

One is to throw "wildfire", the other is to dig tunnels.

Domeric has been using these methods to confuse Tywin, and even his own people are kept in the dark.

Nowadays people are drowned in tunnels dug, and the trebuchets used to throw "wildfire" are burned to the ground.

Tywin Lannister and all the nobles of the West are probably laughing at themselves.

On the King's Landing and Valley Allied Forces side, many nobles were also thinking of retreating.

But Domeric didn't think it mattered.

The more the opponent relaxes his vigilance and feels that everything is under control, the easier it is for him to catch Tywin by surprise and give Tywin a hard blow!

everything's ready.

Domeric ordered his personal bodyguard Benita and her intelligence troops to guard the warehouse, and told them not to leak military aircraft, beware of enemy tactics, etc...

…………

Time is fleeting.

The tenth day of the siege.

At dawn that day, Domeric summoned all his troops two hours in advance.

It was still dark, and a light black mist shrouded the sky and the earth.

The entire Harrenhal is looming in the depths of the fog. The fog, hazy, seems to hide an awe-inspiring unknown power.

On the road towards Harrenhal, countless soldiers were walking, and the men and horses were nowhere to be seen.

There were rustling, tinkling sounds all around, occasionally mixed with the horse's heavy breath like sneezing.

Domeric was riding a horse through the dark fog, with a 1500-man heavy cavalry behind him.

This heavy cavalry is also the elite of the King's Landing Valley coalition and is very good at fighting.

As long as the terrain is not too extreme, Westeros's heavy cavalry is basically invincible and can often defeat a large number of enemies.

There is no need for any tactics. The heavy cavalry is in front and the troops behind are swarming up. Killing the enemy is like chopping vegetables and melons.

……

"Are you sure the location of the tunnel is under the city wall?"

Domeric asked Wendel cautiously.

Wendel nodded: "Absolutely! I asked people to keep digging up and dug up the granite at the foundation of the city wall. And according to your instructions, I took waterproof measures for each tunnel..."

A few miles away, under the city wall, there is a dark earth cave like a dry well, with a tunnel underneath.

There are more than a dozen such tunnels around Harrenhal, scattered within six or seven miles to the east and north.

Each tunnel was only dug halfway, extending just below the city wall.

Domeric didn't let anyone dig him out completely.

Because the Lannister garrison in Harrenhal had already been heavily guarded and well prepared on the other side of the city wall.

Once a passage is dug, there will be a head-on attack from the Lannister army...

In the end, Domeric chose a tunnel far away from the city gate among more than a dozen tunnels.

The location here is relatively hidden, and from the perspective of structural mechanics, it is also a weak point where the entire city wall receives uneven stress and can easily be exploded.

"Go! Remember to stay away when it explodes!"

"As ordered."

Wendel took the order and left, followed closely by dozens of soldiers carrying the "sacred fire" of ten sarcophagi.

...Are there any omissions?

Domeric kept asking himself.

There should be none, he thought.

Success this time depends on only two things:

First, is the power of the "divine fire" enough to blow a hole in the city wall?

Second, did it paralyze Tywin and mess up his vision?

If there is a problem with any of them, the attack plan will fall short!

Domeric only has one chance to attack Harrenhal this time!

The city wall cannot be blown open, or it can be blown but not penetrated...

There was no "divine fire" for him to prepare for the second time.

Even if he had, Tywin Lannister would not give him a second chance to blow up the wall.

Domeric shook his head to get rid of his uneasy thoughts.

At this moment, he couldn't help but think that those famous generals in history who had no plan at all must have had extremely strong hearts...

…………

The noble lords from the north and the valley rode over and gathered in front of Domeric.

Domeric told him all about his plan to "blow up the wall" and explained it in detail.

The explosive effect of "divine fire" can also be directly explained as "holy fire descended by the gods". Compared with the explosion principle of gunpowder, this explanation is much simpler.

No wonder humans like to blame everything that is difficult to explain on the gods.

After a while, a knight came over and said, "Count Wendel is ready. Just blow the trumpet and light the fire."

Domeric nodded, turned around and said to everyone: "Everyone, please take your own troops and act according to the plan I just mentioned."

The northern nobles nodded, they almost blindly followed Domeric.

"Lord Domeric, will the gods really send down the holy fire?"

Ser Lyn Corbray of Hearts City hesitated.

"To be honest, I really can't believe it. I have served the gods for so many years and I have never received a response..." Count Yohn Royce also cast a suspicious look.

"Lord Domeric serves not the Seven Gods, but the Old Gods, or the Red God, the King of Light!"

There are also nobles who choose to believe it, such as Count Beneda, who has a pear-shaped belly.

……

Domeric didn't explain much.

Be it the Seven Gods, the Old Gods, or the Red Gods, he actually didn't believe in any of them.

But it doesn't matter, because the "holy fire of the gods" will come in real time!

……

Wait for all the nobles to return to their own armies.

Domeric turned his head.

"Blow the trumpet!" he shouted.

A bugle sounded, wuwuwuwu, low and long, like the cold wind coming from the north, making people shiver.

The knights hurriedly covered their horses' ears with their hands, waiting for the "coming of the holy fire" from Domeric's mouth.

Everyone raised their heads and looked at the towering walls of Harrenhal.

"Will the gods really send down the holy fire?"

Earl Yohn couldn't help but murmur...

Domeric clenched his hands, looked into the distance, and waited.

Suddenly, the peaceful world suddenly flashed.

Sure enough, the gods lowered the holy fire, like all the powers and lights that dominate this world!

A huge ball of flames and smoke rose into the sky.

Then, the earth shook, like an earth dragon shuttled under everyone's feet...

"boom!"

Then a loud noise came.

Domeric felt like the whole world was shaking.

At this moment, it seemed as if the power of the ancient gods had really arrived!

His power turns into boundless holy fire, washing away sins, and the world will be restored to purity!

Countless pieces of earth and stone were splashed in all directions in the rapidly spreading thick smoke, coming towards them, giving people the illusion that even thousands of troops would be reduced to nothing in the holy fire.

Some of the war horses were frightened and started running around, and everyone was stunned.

Is this the holy fire sent down by the gods?

Only the gods have this power, right?

"Wow~~Wow~~"

Stones and clods of earth fell to the ground one after another, like a hailstorm.

The world instantly returned to a suffocating tranquility that made people unable to breathe.

Domeric looked at the thick smoke and pulled out the Stark family's ancestral "ice" from his waist.

"Clang!"

There was a flash of sword light and a dragon roar.

He raised his sword and thrust it straight into the sky, shouting in a hissing voice:

"attack!"

"Raze Harrenhal to the ground and capture the Lannister for gold!"
