The riverside walls of King's Landing were full of people.

King Joffrey and Queen Mother Cersei are in the center, and on the left and right are the highest military governor of King's Landing, the Demon Mountain, and the Prime Minister of the Seven Kingdoms, the Little Devil. Then there were the generals, the Kingsguards, the magistrates, the officers of the King's Landing, and the knights and officers of the Clegane.

Sansa Stark was at the king's side, wearing the king's favorite white shawl mink and floor-length skirt.

Queen Mother Cersei looked at the Blackwater River, her neck was graceful and slender, her face was smiling, and her eyes were indifferent from thousands of miles away. Behind her stood Lady Tanda, who was bent on becoming the Queen Mother's confidant.

"Magic Mountain, let those fools begin!" Joffrey was in high spirits, dressed in golden armor, with a sword at his waist, blond hair and blue eyes, and a handsome face. A talented man, his eyes are full of playful arrogance and empty authority.

The Magic Mountain made a gesture, and the herald shouted under the city walls: "Trebuchet, ready!"

Click!

Twenty soldiers shouted slogans, marched and moved in unison, pushing the mechanical winch. The rope is wound in circles, pulling down the twenty-meter-high erection long arm of the trebuchet until the long arm slowly falls, maintaining a horizontal position, there is a bullet bag loaded with stone bullets on the long arm, two sergeants push the cart, one end of the cart is connected to the cart, raise the handlebar, the stone bullet on the cart rumbles and rolls, and falls into it with a snap.

This kind of stone bullet weighs more than 100 catties visually.

At the other end of the long arm, which is about 20 meters long, there is a counterweight stone of several hundred catties. The position of the stone bullet and the long arm is in the same horizontal position as the counterweight stone, with the command of the command, the twenty soldiers who held down the handle of the winch let go together, the winch rotated rapidly, and the hundreds of pounds of counterweight stone at the other end fell suddenly, and the long arm rose quickly with the stone bag. When the hammer stone fell completely, the long arm stood up and slammed into the crossbar with a loud bang, and the stone projectile was thrown high from the bullet bag.

Call!

A hundred-pound boulder crossed the city wall, roared over everyone's heads, crossed the dock, and with a bang, smashed into the Heishui River a hundred meters away, causing a huge splash.

As the stone passed overhead, Sansa noticed a hint of horror in Joffrey's eyes, and the stone projectiles crashed down, and the water splashed high, and the king raised his hands in high spirits and applauded loudly.

On the city wall, the eyes of the soldiers followed the stone in a big arc.

Moshan said: "Your Majesty the King, Your Majesty the Queen Mother, Prime Minister, the distance of the stone bullet is close. ”

"Why don't you let the thirty prostitutes launch together?" said Joffrey, excited. Thirty trebuchets, eventually known as the Thirty Prostitutes of King's Landing, by our dear Prime Minister.

"Your Majesty, let's first adjust the distance of the first trebuchet, and then arrange thirty trebuchets evenly according to the distance from far to near, covering the entire inshore waters, so as to destroy the enemy's warships to the greatest extent. ”

"Why don't you come first with a salvo of ten trebuchets?" said Joffrey, with the corner of his right mouth upturned, his victory in his chest, and his ambition full of pride, "Magic Mountain, let those fools shoot ten salvos at a time." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. ”

Demon Mountain said to the herald beside him, "Push all the ten trebuchets in the first row forward to the end, and fire ten salvos at a time." “

"Yes, sir. ”

The order was conveyed, and a total of ten trebuchets thrusted forward to the ground and drew the first white line closest to the wall.

There are a total of four white lines on the ground. Each white line is a unit of distance for the trebuchet to move forward or backward.

The white line is a masterpiece of the Magic Mountain.

Drawing lines on the ground and measuring the distance between trebuchets allow trebuchets to line up like soldiers, creating a dense saturated attack area to the greatest extent.

"Ready!" shouted the commander.

So, two hundred soldiers roared the trumpet, and pushed the winch together in unison, and in the clicking sound, the ten trebuchet arms higher than the city wall slowly fell backwards, and finally stopped in a horizontal position, and the soldiers loaded with stones pry the stone bullets together, and the stone bullets rolled onto the cart, and the two sides were stuck with wooden strips, and the soldiers pushed the cart and loaded the stone bullets into the bullet bag.

"Projection!" shouted the commander.

More than 200 soldiers let go together, ten long arms quickly bounced up, the counterbalance hammer stone at the other end fell suddenly, the long arm quickly rose, erected, slammed into the horizontal log, the 100 catties of boulders in the bullet bag threw a high parabola, over the city wall, over the top of everyone's heads, under the gaze of hundreds of pairs of eyes, boom, boom, fell into the waters of the Heishui River, and the river surface stirred up high snow-white waves.

Referring to the position buoys in the river, the location of the stone projectile fell about 200 meters from the shore.

"Your Majesty, I wish it a little further. This is the first row of trebuchets, and it is best to land at the position of a buoy of 250 meters, if it can be 300 meters. “

The little devil said, "Lord Demon Mountain, then change to a smaller stone." ”

"Prime Minister......" Magic Mountain's words could be interrupted by King Joffrey: "Then hurry up and replace it with a smaller stone." He said to the Hound of the Imperial Guard, "Dog, go down and order a few untouchables to row the big merchant ship to a distance of three hundred meters." Joffrey pointed to a large merchant ship, "I'm going to see the stone bullets smash it to pieces, and it's going to rot like an eggshell." “

"Your Majesty, that's a smuggling merchant ship that brought grain for us from across the Narrow Sea. Tyrell the Littlefinger was neither humble nor arrogant, smiling, "If we smash the grain ship, it will be His Majesty's second uncle, Stannis Baratheon, who will be the happiest." ”

"Your Majesty, as far as I know, the grain ships from across the Narrow Sea have avoided Stannis Baratheon's sea blockade until the end of their lives, and if you smash it like this, no one will dare to smuggle grain for us next time," said the Magic Mountain. “

Queen Cersei looked at Joffrey and shook her head slightly.

"Then change to another one, Hound Dog, and order the officers of the docks to get out of the two boats and go into the river, and I'll test the stone bullets. ”

Littlefinger didn't smile: "Your Majesty, the big ships on the dock are either grain ships or trading ships, King's Landing is currently short of supplies, and it is through many friends that I can barely maintain the necessary material channels in our King's Landing City." Don't destroy any of the big ships, this isn't Stannis's battleship. Prime Minister, what do you say?"

The little devil said: "The order goes down, the stone bomb test continues, my nephew was just joking with everyone just now, don't take it seriously!"

"I'm not kidding, Uncle Dammy. Joffrey snapped.

"Your Majesty, there are position buoys in the river, and we are testing the distance, and as for the power, the wooden boat will definitely not be able to stop our stone projectile attacks. Magic Mountain said lightly.

Joffrey sneered, "Lord Magic Mountain, there are so many big ships on the docks, are they all transporting supplies to King's Landing? Since it was a test launch, there was no ship to do the target, what was there to see?!"

Moshan's face turned cold: "Your Majesty, it's easy for you to see stone projectiles on your own ships, pass the order, tell all the Royal Navy warships to come out, and let the thirty prostitutes in King's Landing come to a salvo, I promise to smash all the warships, so that His Majesty the King can see enough at one time." ”

Joffrey was furious in his heart, and turned his head to look at the Demon Mountain, who was staring at him coldly, his heart jumped, avoiding the Demon Mountain's gaze: "Okay, if you don't use the boat, you won't need it, then hurry up and test shoot it to me." ”

Moshan frowned, this time he didn't need a herald directly, and shouted under the city wall, his voice was like a huge thunder: "The first row of trebuchets, change the smallest stone, and test fire once." ”

The order was conveyed, and under the city walls, in the mud gate square, the first row of ten trebuchets were replaced with smaller stones.

Joffrey was immediately disinterested, he couldn't see the performance of the stone smashing boat, he was not interested, his eyes found Sansa: "Sansa, there is nothing to see here, the stone is smashed in the water, there is no need to try it with a boat, what is there to see?" Go, go with me to play." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Sansa was graceful and beautiful. However, his face was expressionless, his expression was indifferent, and his eyes were empty.

The little devil looked at Cersei coldly, and Cersei didn't say anything to stop her bastard son. Indeed, there is a mother and a son. The little devil looked at the Demon Mountain, but fortunately, King's Landing had such a wicked person as the Demon Mountain, so Joffrey did not dare to be too presumptuous.

The king took Sansa Stark, the Kingsguard, the royal magistrate, the court supervisor and others down the city wall, and the magic mountain and the little devil continued to test the stone projectile projection, and finally, the best stone projectile combination projection array was obtained: the first row of ten trebuchets projected 50 to 70 catties of stones, covering a distance of 320 to 250 meters, the second row of more than 80 catties, covering a water area of 200 meters to 250 meters, and the third row of trebuchets fired more than 100 catties of boulders, covering a distance of 100 meters to 200 meters. Thirty prostitutes fired in unison, and it was predictable that Stannis's battleship would suffer heavy losses in a rain of stone bullets.

Huge chains were pulled end to end by dozens of wagons and transported to the banks of the Blackwater River.

The Magic Mountain rode on a tall war horse and followed the whole process with his attendants.

There is still a long way to go from the mouth of the Blackwater River, and the distance between the two banks is the narrowest. Stannis's ships entered the waters of the Blackwater River from the mouth of the sea to attack King's Landing, and this was the way the ships had to go.

On opposite sides of the river, the stone tower designed by the Magic Mountain has been built, one on one side.

The royal battleship, named after the warhammer of King Robert, the Warhammer, was docked on the shore of the stone tower, and the little demon Tyrion stood at the bow of the ship, and one end of the chain was dragged onto the warhammer by the blacksmiths, and the warhammer started and sailed towards the opposite bank, dragging the long chain through the Blackwater River, and the end of the chain was thrown ashore.

Eventually, the ends of the long chains were pierced through the holes in the bottom of the two towers and fastened to a huge winch in the middle of the towers.

On each side of the stone tower winch were twenty strong boatmen, as well as a few donkeys that were specialized in pulling things and could carry heavy loads.

The magic mountain blew the iron whistle and made a gesture to the little devil on the opposite bank, and the boatmen in the stone towers on both sides pushed the winch together, and the iron chain that sank to the bottom of the water slowly rose little by little, and finally floated on the water, blocking the entire river. The winch was pushed in the opposite direction, and the chain slowly sank to the bottom of the river.

After repeatedly pushing the winch, coupled with lubricating oil, the winch sensitivity of the two stone towers became better and better, and in the end, the magic mountain and the little devil got the desired result.

The Mountain ordered Captain Erin to call his adopted daughter, Julie Clegane, and he gave her the task of defending the Tower. On the north and south banks, a hundred-man squad was responsible for secretly protecting the tower, and the soldiers were all armed with a short crossbow.

As the sun set, the little devil and the magic mountain stood on the north bank, and the two figures were stretched by the light of the setting sun.

The little devil looked at his shadow: "Demon Mountain, I am as tall as you, we are all giants." ”

"Man's wisdom and courage are the shadow of man, and if you have enough wisdom and courage, you will be able to project the shadow of a giant. "Magic Mountain accidentally pretended to be a force. College dogs, decorating a similar isn't much of a challenge.

The little devil looked obviously surprised: "Oh, you are no longer the magic mountain I know." ”

"You're no longer a little devil I know. ”

The little devil shrugged his shoulders and looked at the cold ice sword on the back of the demon mountain: "I have already obtained the sword for you, it's time for you to repay me." “

"I got the sword myself. Moshan said coldly.

The little devil choked: "Magic Mountain, it must be better to get my friendship than to get Cersei's friendship." ”

Magic Mountain sneered: "You and Cersei are both Lannisters. ”

"I'm not like her, you know what my father called me to come to King's Landing, you should support me, that's the only option. ”

Demon Mountain looked at the little devil condescendingly, feeling that his height was indeed very bullying, and everyone was so condescending: "If you get rid of her henchman Sir Aral Diem and other seven people, she will definitely settle this account with you." But since you've been sent to King's Landing by Lord Duke, I can tell you that Cersei's next move is to take out the guards around you first. ”

"Who?"

"Who can best keep you safe?"

"Bolon!"

"I told you that Boron would leave in five days, and today is the third day, and tomorrow he will come and say goodbye to you. ”

"How did Cersei buy him?"

"Madame Tanda will give a large dowry to marry the mentally handicapped fat girl Loris to Bolon, in addition to the heartwarming large dowry, there is also a knighthood personally given by Her Majesty the Queen Mother after marriage. ”

The little devil stared at the two round eyes, one black and one green: "Loris, who was sharpened by the mob?"

"Yes, Bolong can't refuse a large dowry, let alone the opportunity to marry the earl's daughter, after the marriage, Her Majesty the Queen Mother personally gave him a title, can you give him a title? “

The little devil is dumbfounded!

"Boronn is a smart man, and this is a good opportunity to change his future and status, and a realistic person like him will naturally seize it at all costs. No one can refuse such a marriage condition. ”

The little devil couldn't believe it: "Cersei must not have thought of such a solution, someone must have given her an idea behind her back." ”

Magic Mountain was noncommittal: "In order to marry her mentally handicapped daughter Loris, who is in her thirties, Lady Tanda approached Duke Tywin, and I heard that you fought to the death, otherwise this would be a very happy marriage; Baerich, Littlefinger went to eat and drink every time she was invited, and then patted her ass and left, never giving Lady Tanda the response she wanted;

"Cersei wants Boron to die for him?"

"No, Cersei thinks Boron is your man. ”

"She's going to kill Bolon?"

"Of course. ”

"And then it's my turn?"

"Uh-huh!"

"You're going to watch me get killed by Cersei before Stannis and Lan Li come in with their troops?" Cersei thought so too.

"Little devil, I can help you and always stand by your side, but you have to pay me back when I want you to repay the favor in the future. ”

"Lannister, you have to pay your debts!" the little devil held out his 'small' hand to the big demon.

The hands of the big and small demons were clasped together.
