Chapter 0373 Stone Tower Battle

On the city wall, Joffrey's eyebrows fluttered. The little devil looked at it with mixed tastes, and his face was cold and hard. He could see that at the beginning, the Magic Mountain had not considered a way out for the royal fleet.

This tactic...... Feel...... It's so ruthless......

The little devil looked at Boron beside him, this guy was like a long knife, still sharp, and he couldn't see any discomfort in him...... Or is it...... Even the slightest mercy...... He looked at Xia Ga and Kang En, these two fierce men from the Stone Crow Department were no longer so excited that they were screaming, they probably should be tired of screaming, and they needed to rest now.

The Kingsguards around them: Hound Dog, Baron Swain, Marin Tran, Mandon Moore, Alex Oakhetβ€”the five Iron Guards watched indifferently as the green fire burned in the Blackwater River......

He looked at his young squire, Podrick, who couldn't take his eyes off it, and there was obvious unbearability in his eyes...... This made the little devil's heart feel a little better with a cold face......

Although the fire completely destroyed more than 200 warships of Stannis's Black Pressure - the little devil and the others could not see that there were forty backup pirate ships outside the mouth of the sea - it also killed all the more than 4,000 soldiers of the Royal Fleet.

This victory...... It makes the little devil feel like there is a small crab in his stomach holding his stomach...... He found that he would feel much more comfortable if he had half the coldness of Joffrey's powerful heart.

The green fireworks stained the stormy Blackwater River, and Stannis's raft army was swept up in it.

It is impossible for the raft to enter the water, go down the river, and cross directly.

When the first explosion began, Stannis stopped the raft crossing.

Now that the fire has passed the period of its most violent explosion, the flames are beginning to dim!

In the glow of the green fireworks that filled the river, Stannis saw rows of boats hiding on the other side of the river.

Those small boats now look suspicious, and most of them are 'flaming ships' with wildfires.

The boats waited for his army of rafts to sail past and then pushed out, and all it took was a rocket to set one of them on fire - when one ship exploded, green flames flew like small snakes in the sky, and the rest exploded one after the other.

In Stannis's eyes, the green flames of the river began to dread, and the continuous explosions that had stopped sounded again, and countless debris reappeared in the sky, whether it was his battleship or the royal fleet, all burning violently in the green flames.

Countless fragments of battleships and stumps of battleships flowed down the river, stopping in a narrow place downstream, accumulating more and more, forming a black line across the river under the illumination of green firelight.

Awakened from an extremely brief trance, Stannis noticed the black line that crossed the river.

"Go see, what's that?" Stannis said.

He was surrounded by bewildered knights, dozens, or more.

"Your Majesty, please send me to check it out. Sir Onion's fifth son, Davon Seaworth, said.

He was Stannis' squire, and in Dragonstone he studied, lived, literate, and practiced swords with Stannis' daughter, Princess Shireen. Davon Seaworth was born in the year 288 A.D. Aegon and is eleven years old.

The child's face was still childish, but his expression was firm.

"Captain Merry, you lead a team of 100 to protect Dai Feng. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. ”

Dai Feng and Captain Merry led a team of 100 people down the river, towards a black line in the distance.

Stannis looked at the green flames in the river, looked back at the dozens of knights around him, and saw that almost everyone had fear in their eyes.

This fire burned down the fighting spirit that the generals around him had been accumulating for three days.

But Stannis's eyes only had a more determined fighting spirit and a steely coldness.

In the Usurper War seventeen years ago, Stannis, who had been besieged by the Tyrells and Redwings for more than a year, and even the rats in Storm's End City had been eaten up, would rather bend!

Some people can't learn to kneel when their kneecaps are broken, and Stannis is such a tough guy!

"King's Landing will not have more than 10,000 soldiers, the garrison is a bunch of garbage, and we still have 20,000 cavalry and 20,000 infantry, still four times the strength of the Lannisters. Stannis pointed at King's Landing, "As long as we cross the Blackwater, victory will be ours." ”

None of the dozens of knights spoke, and everyone was silent.

There is a magic mountain opposite, and their 20,000 cavalry were beaten by dozens of people led by the magic mountain three days ago, and that kind of memory is unforgettable.

The sharpness of the Magic Mountain's greatsword was incomparable, and everyone was terrified when the Jazz thought about it now.

With a sword down, the blocker is invincible!

Anyone who dares to take on the Demon Mountain has a very clear ending: a dead end!

"The Magic Mountain is not to be feared!" Stannis read through the thoughts of the jazzes around him, and he said lightly, "In close combat, the pikemen will pierce his armor." He can kill a hundred, or a thousand, but not ten thousand. King's Landing, the Iron Throne, is ours, and I assure you of that. ”

The spear can indeed break armor, but the armor of the Demon Mountain is not as easy to break as ordinary armor!

The Jazz knew it, but no one dared to say it in front of Stannis.

Allister Floren, the Hand of the King, the uncle of Stannis's wife, said, "Your Majesty, perhaps we can send someone to quietly cross the Blackwater River and sneak into the city, promising the Magic Mountain dignitaries and gold. ”

Stannis stared at Allister: "Prime Minister, the Magic Mountain is a wicked man of the Seven Kingdoms, and the only thing that awaits him is hanging." ”

Stannis was so unequivocal that there was no room for manoeuvre.

Allister was silent, and then said, "Yes, Your Majesty, I was wrong!"

Although the knights thought it was a very good idea to win over the Demon Mountain, no one dared to say anything more.

Stannis is jealous and hateful, as rigid as a black piece of steel.

Allister Florence is not a vassal of the Stormlands, his lord is the Tyrells of Riverlands, and his fief is Brightwater City, and he is also the lord of the Florentine family. He followed the Mace Tyrell family in his allegiance to Ranley Baratheon, and after Ranley's death, he joined Stannis Baratheon. His niece, Celise Florent, was the wife of Stannis Baratheon I, and this kinship led him to lead the Florentine family to betray their original lord, the Tyrells, and become a vassal of Stannis, and was appointed by Stannis as the Hand of the King.

On the city walls, the Magic Mountain ordered: "Sir Ange Clegane!"

"The vassals are here, General!"

"Lead a hundred archers to the North Shore Stone Tower to reinforce Julie Clegane. ”

"General?"

Angay didn't understand where the iron cable was located, why did he go to reinforce Julie, and the enemy was either floating in the Blackwater River screaming, or on the south bank. And Julie was on the north bank with a hundred-man team, and the stone tower on the south bank was also garrisoned by a hundred-man light cavalry, but it was impossible to reinforce it.

"Go!" exclaimed the Magic Mountain.

"Yes, General!"

The warriors around them were staring at the river, and the reflection of the green flames reflected on their faces, and their faces became green and faint, as if they were coming from ...... Hell!

"Sir Ange Clegane. ”

"Yes, General. Angai, who had hurried down the wall, stopped.

"The bows and arrows he brought were gone, and all the men withdrew to the city, and they were not allowed to fight. ”

Although Angai did not understand where the enemy was coming from, he still said loudly: "Yes, General!"

Angai went down to the city, lit a hundred archers in the mud gate barracks, drank open the city gate, and led a hundred cavalry to gallop on the riverside road.

The sound of horses' hooves caught the attention of the soldiers on the city wall.

Joffrey also saw it: "Uncle Little Devil, there is a team of cavalry under the city, where are they going?"

The little devil couldn't understand the military deployment of the Magic Mountain anymore: "The minister doesn't know, Your Majesty the King." ”

"Hehe, what else do you know?" Joffrey laughed.

"I also know that I am here to accompany His Majesty and protect His Majesty's safety. ”

Joffrey chuckled, as if it was the funniest joke he'd ever heard, "Uncle Dwarf, can you keep me safe?!" he swooped out his shiny dagger and slashed into the void, "Uncle Gnome, you don't seem to be as tall as my sword!"

The king's guards laughed.

Bronn shrugged his shoulders, and Podrick's face flushed, but he couldn't see it in the reflection of the green flames, and Shaga and Conn followed suit to laugh at their benefactor, without disagreeing.

"Your Majesty, I fought in the Green Fork River, and I rushed to the front line. "The little devil was very strange when he talked about that battle, that battle, his father Duke Tywin's original intention, was to use him and the mountain people as cannon fodder, just like the magic mountain used the royal fleet as cannon fire today.

His father used him and the mountain people as cannon fodder, without any rewards and prior mobilization, and the Magic Mountain arranged the funeral of each captain, and made the court scholar Locke record it - although now it seems that the record arranged by the Magic Mountain is actually a clever way to buy people's hearts and let others die with peace of mind.

Joffrey smiled and said, "Uncle Dwarf, how many naval warships does my second uncle have? Two hundred?"

"Your Majesty, according to reliable intelligence, two hundred and seventy warships, including forty pirate warships. Marin Tran said.

"Yes, two hundred and seventy warships, more than ten times the size of our warships, but now all of them are in ashes. I hope that the fire of the Magic Mountain will fail, so that my second uncle's warriors can cross the Blackwater River by warship and attack the city, so that I can cut off a few of the enemy's heads with my own hands. ”

"You will get your wish, Your Majesty. The little devil said lightly, "Although Stannis's navy has been completely destroyed, on the other side of the Blackwater River, Stannis's cavalry and infantry still have at least tens of thousands of people, and they will find a way to cross the river sooner or later." ”

"Prime Minister, at least tonight they won't be able to cross the river. Marin Tran said coldly.

"Tomorrow morning, Sir, you'll find Stannis' army densely packed under the walls. The little devil said coldly.

The little devil looked at Marin Tran and noticed that Mandon Moore was peeking at him in the shadow of the hounds and Baron, and his gaze was strange, even if he met his gaze, Mandon Moore did not shy away, but slowly turned his gaze away. That cold and cruel gaze made the little devil feel uncomfortable.

The little devil remembered the magic mountain's warning to him: "Watch out for Mandon Moore, he may kill you." ”

But the little devil thinks that Mandon Moore will not want his life, he and Mandon Moore have no enmity in the past, and he still bears the family name of Lannister. Only Cersei wants his life, not Mandon Moore who wants his life.

The current enemy in front of him, in extraordinary times, the outcome of the war is undecided, Stannis on the other side still has tens of thousands of troops, King's Landing still needs to be protected, and the little devil thinks that Cersei will not do anything to him at such a point in time.

South. Stone Tower.

A group of light cavalry hid at the edge of the woods, defending the tower.

There were also twenty boatmen in the tower, who were in charge of the winch.

"Captain Julie, the enemy is coming!" a scout crept back.

Captain Julie Clegane asked, "How many people are coming?"

"A team of hundreds. ”

"The forest or the path?"

"Path. ”

The Magic Mountain arranged for Julie Clegane to garrison the Stone Tower on the North Shore, and asked her to arrange for her men to take a team of 100 men to the South Bank to garrison the Stone Tower, which was dangerous because Stannis's army was in the forest upstream. Sooner or later, this barrage will be discovered by Stannis and someone will be sent over.

But Julie Clegane, believing herself to be an archer centurion and not allowing her men to be in danger, quietly led a centurion to the south bank, leaving the safety of the north bank to her guardsman.

"Evacuate the boatmen and make them flee as far as possible into the forest. Julie ordered.

"Yes, sir. ”

The scout rushed into the stone tower: "Run, run along the edge of the forest on the bank of the river, the enemy is coming." ”

The boatmen immediately came out and fled into the forest.

Julie took out a short crossbow, and her team of 100 people had a short crossbow: "Dismount, ambush on the side of the road, kill them all." ”

The brothers dismounted, tied their horses to the trees, and took their crossbows and laid ambush on both sides of the path.

*

Eleven-year-old Davon Seaworth and Captain Merry led a group of elite black-armored guards.

They did not walk inside the woods, but on the path on the bank of the river.

Not far from the path is the Blackwater River, and there is also some distance from the woods, so you don't have to worry about being ambushed. If the enemy appears, or if there are horses, they can be seen from afar.

In the Blackwater River, green flames were still burning, illuminating the woods and shrubs on both sides of the riverbank.

Julie and his brothers lay motionless in the low bushes on the side of the road.

The enemy is getting closer.

Julie didn't move, none of the brothers moved.

No one was timid or breathless, these people were already veterans who had undergone the cruel training of the Demon Mountain and had screamed many bloody battles.

Everyone had a short crossbow in their hands.

This is a hand-to-hand combat weapon, and if you get close enough, it will be easy to break through the armor.

Dai Feng and Captain Merry were at the front.

A group of 100 people all walked into the encirclement.

Julie Clegan stood up, her slender and athletic figure walking into the path, and calmly pulled the trigger as the other party shouted at who it was.

The crossbow fired in quick succession, and several arrows flew towards the chest of Davon Seaworth, who had drawn his short sword and charged at her.
