Woooooo

Woooooooooooooooo

The sound of a horn came from the flagship store of the Chinese army, the horn of the whole army's attack.

Sir Imre Floren narrowly escaped death, and the Royal Fleet's blitzkrieg at Watergate Enraged him.

This time he took the lead.

Last time, the Fury rushed to the front, but there were still frigates to the left and right.

This time, in a fit of rage, he ordered the sailors to row with all their might, and to ride straight up.

Imrifloren is known for his bravery!

Davos Seaworth's military intelligence report was completely ignored by Sir Imre Florenten, and under his leadership, the left flank warships and the Chinese warships poured out of the nest and mustered up the fighting spirit.

The soldiers huddled on the side of the deck, raised their shields, and prepared their defenses.

As soon as you get close to an enemy ship, jump over and fight.

The battleships on the right flank began to agitate, and one of the battleships broke away from the formation and joined the attack.

"Father, we should attack. Dale Seaworth said.

"Father, give the order. His second son, Allad Seaworth, was already dressed up, "and we will go straight to the dock and attack the steel gate." ”

For the enemy warships in the Blackwater River, none of Davos's four sons paid attention to them.

Just the left flank and the center army can easily annihilate all enemy ships.

"Father, the right flank fleet can take the steel gate, we have thousands of soldiers. The third son, Massos, Seaworth, said.

Malik Seaworth, the fourth son, didn't say anything, but the look of eagerness on his face spoke for itself.

"Have you noticed, stone towers, chains? "Davos Seaworth pointed to the stone tower not far away.

"So what, even if there is an ambush, we can tear the enemy apart. The eldest son, Dale, was full of pride, "Father, you have to put on your helmet." ”

A battleship passed by the Onion, and the knight laughed, "Sir Onion, are you afraid, we're going to fight, kill them!"

This is Davos's subordinate warship, but the other party is a big nobleman and does not take Davos's orders seriously.

This is also reasonable, the commander-in-chief issued an order for the entire navy to attack the enemy ships and control the Blackwater River. Davos disobeyed the orders of the commander-in-chief, which was already a crime.

The commander-in-chief's order to attack was greater than that of the onion knights.

"Father?!" Dale urged.

The battleships around him crossed the Onion one after another and joined the hunting battle ahead.

The sound of the battleships colliding came, the river shouted to kill the sky, the archers on both sides were shooting desperately, the left flank and the Chinese fleet covered up, and the right flank fleet also had some cover, the two fleets were mixed together, and the screams and shouts resounded over the Heishui River.

Woooooo

Woooooooooooooooo

The commander-in-chief's herald ship came backwards and ordered the right flank of Davos Seaworth to follow immediately, or else he would be punished for treason.

Davos Seaworth knew he could no longer disobey.

"Queue!" Davos ordered.

Son Dale immediately gave the order: "Line up!"

The warships of the right flank began to line up, and the ship-to-ship interval did not exceed twenty yards. Davos was proud of the fact that his fleet had been able to line up as quickly as cavalry and infantry after his short time of training.

"Collect the sails," Davos ordered, "lower the mast." The oarsmen are in position. ”

Dale gave a series of orders.

The crew of the battleship hurriedly ran to their posts, pushing away the soldiers standing on the ship, and at this moment, they always seemed to be in the way

The ship will soon approach the port of King's Landing and lower its sails to prevent the ballistas and firebolts that spray asphalt or oil drums from attacking and igniting the sails.

At the forefront, the sails of the Duke of Stephen shimmer golden, and the canvas pattern is decorated with the crown bucks of the House of Baratheon.

Davos was as familiar with the Duke of Stephen as his own ship. She had three hundred oars, a deck full of ballistas, and a trebuchet in the bow and stern to throw burning asphalt barrels. It's intimidating, and it's very agile.

However, Sir Imri removed the trebuchets of all the ships before he set out, and he made the decks of each ship crowded with armored knights and infantry, so that all the ships were greatly reduced.

There were only twenty-three royal warships, and Sir Imre felt that he didn't need trebuchets at all, and his main preparation was siege warfare, siege warfare, which required more soldiers and rams. The trebuchet in the river can only project stones onto the city wall, and the height of the projectile cannot reach the top of the city wall.

All the sails of the battleship on the right flank were lowered, the oars entered the water, and at the order of Davos, the drums beaten, and thousands of oars were inserted into the water together, rowing in unison.

The Onion took the lead and rushed forward.

His four sons, all dressed and neat, were ready for a beach-grabbing landing battle.

In front, the enemy battleship was constantly pressed by the battleships on both sides of the left and right roundabouts, dividing, outflanking, ramming, and the soldiers jumped over one after another, jumping into the enemy ship like ants, brandishing swords and slashing.

And the enemy fought back more bravely, and the warriors on both sides were warriors, and they violently collided together, scuffled and fought, shouting slogans, and no one would retreat.

In the waters ahead, the air was filled with bloody and terrible screams, like a wail from hell.

The right flank fleet, like a huge sword, detoured back to the right side of the enemy fleet and pulled out a beautiful arc.

"Sideways, keep the line!" Davos ordered.

As a result, all enemy battleships were exposed to the ballistas on the right flank of Davos.

Ballistas can fire small stone projectiles, pitch barrels, or oil barrels.

To Davos's heart, the left flank and the Chinese fleet were mixed with the enemy warships, and they lost their formations and arrays, becoming a scene of melee.

If the left flank and the Chinese fleet all retreated, Davos would only need one salvo to beat the enemy ships into a sieve and put an end to the farce.

But not now, although every enemy ship is surrounded by three or four, but after the ballista attack, the first to hit must be their own people.

Davos did not understand why the commander-in-chief did not give the order to use ballistas. Why melee fights, and not formation attacks?

The naval battle turned into a group fight on the streets.

And it's a big group of people surrounding a group of small people. Although the small man was surrounded and choked enough, this large group of people obviously did not occupy an absolute advantage.

The little ones are too tenacious, and their fighting power is amazing!

Boom!

There was a loud bang, and the royal battleship King's Landing collided with the enemy ship Piety, and both ships shook at the same time, the ship's side broke, the torch fell, and the soldiers in the melee fell to each other, and some soldiers were shaken away and fell into the river.

The royal warships had been hunted, and the crash was their last death throes.

"The right flank fleet, rush to the beach. Davos ordered.

So, the horn sounded, and the right flank fleet turned and attacked King's Landing directly.

Because there were battleships fighting in the river, there were shouts of swords colliding everywhere, countless black huge shadows were gnawing and devouring around the small black shadows, the river space was limited, and the fleets on the right flank had to close together, and the entire battle column was neatly advanced like a shield wall.

This was not a good thing, Davos was careful to watch out for trebuchets, ballistas, and rockets, but he didn't.

The walls of the city were lined with soldiers, and none of them fired arrows. No trebuchets, no ballistas, no rockets.

Nothing.

The shield wall made its way to the shore of King's Landing, and one step further on, the riverbank and the docks.

Davos sniffed out the traps, but he could not see any signs of an ambush or surprise attack.

What exactly is the problem?

He remembered the stone towers and chains behind him.

There must be a trap, but the river bank is in front of you, and you can get it at your fingertips, where is the trap?

Boom! Boom! Boom!

On the banks of the river, there were suddenly fires burning everywhere, and in the shadow of the high walls of King's Landing, there were countless small boats and fishing boats, as well as merchant ships, and soldiers were waiting here to light the fires, and soon, the flames burned everywhere, separated between the shield wall and the riverbank.

"Separate the array. Davos ordered.

The fire was raging in front, and they could not get to the shore. But how long these ships can burn, this is the question.

The smell of traps is getting stronger and stronger.

Davos tried to give the order to retreat, but he couldn't.

The soldiers of the fleet around him were already laughing at the soldiers on the city wall. They knew that these fires would only hold them back for a while, because the fire would go out, it was as simple as that.

However, why didn't the other side fire rockets and ballistas? asphalt barrels and oil barrels, the defenders of King's Landing were definitely there, and this was the best time to attack.

The enemy must have designed a vicious trap, but where is the trap?

Davos racked his brains, he couldn't think of it, he couldn't see it, he couldn't touch it, but the smell of the trap was getting stronger and stronger, and it was so worried that it collapsed.

If the enemy has a trap, what are they waiting for?

On the south bank of the Blackwater River, people shouted that horses were neighing, and Stannis felt that the time had come, and he ordered the raft to be placed, and the army crossed the river.

Raft?

Yes, during these three days, three silent days, Stannis ordered the army to cut down wood in the forest to make rafts, as long as the fleet dragged the royal fleet, and there were no enemy ships blocking the Blackwater River crossing, the rafts could be safely crossed.

Raft?

Could it be that the enemy army is waiting for Stannis's army to be launched into the water and then annihilated together?

Davos Seaworth's right-wing battleship was about to dock, but the other side suddenly set fire to a dense group of fishing boats and small boats, burning fierce flames on the river bank, making Davos's landing plan completely fail.

As the ships on the shore began to sink into the water in the midst of burning, Davos suddenly realized that the stumps of the hull of the ship sunk on the bank of the river were strewn and scattered, and their warship could not be docked at all.

Even if the flames were all extinguished, the battleship would not be able to dock.

The battleship is not a small ship, it has a deep draft and occupies a large area. Small boats can pass through a little water and gaps, but battleships can't at all.

The riverbank, which was the most convenient place to land and attack the Iron Gate, was completely blocked by the corpses of the wreckage ships that were gradually extinguishing the flames.

"Turn to the right, dock!" Davos commanded.

The battleships on the right flank all turned and slipped towards the north shore, although they were far away, they could make a detour back to the steel gate, and the road was safer, and there were no soldiers stationed there.

However, Davos remains worried.

Suddenly, a faint green flame lit up on the north shore.

The green flame, which was only a line at first, was small, and then spread rapidly, like a wild green snake, burning rapidly on the north shore, and extending to both sides, until it reached the stone tower in the distance.

Throughout the North Shore, a green flame burned.

"Wildfire!" Davos was shocked.

He finally knew where the trap was, wildfires, wildfires that could burn on the surface of the river.

Neither the north shore nor the one in front of them could be landed, but the north shore could be landed, but who could wade through that long, almost endless wildfire?

Wildfires are very evil substances that cannot be extinguished except for the billowing yellow sand that falls from the sky. Even if there is only a little spark, if you use a cloak to suffocate, the cloak will catch fire, and if you slap it with the palm of your hand, your palm will burn. "If you pee on a wildfire, your thing will burn," is one of the old seamen's famous sayings.

Before setting out, Commander-in-Chief Sir Imri had warned them that they might encounter the evil substance of the pyromancies. Fortunately, there are very few living pyromancers in the world, and this substance is too rare to be used in large-scale warfare, Commander-in-Chief Imri assured all the soldiers.

Davos was also in the operational meeting at the time, and he believed the words of Commander-in-Chief Imri.

Davos was horrified, he finally knew where the enemy's trap was, and the royal warship would not retreat even if it knew that it would die, so it was to lure them all into the Blackwater River. Stone towers, chains, wildfires, traps have been made.

Davos stammered a new order: the ship should turn around and retreat! If the ship couldn't get through the chain, it would have to leave the damn waters.

On the Onion's flagship, one oarsman rowed forward and the other backward, the battleship quickly turned around, and the Lady Maria next to it was also evacuating, and the wildfire burned on the north shore, which was a sign that terror was about to happen.

Those twenty-three royal warships were the bait for fishing.

No wonder those guys were able to escape in the evening, but they didn't run away, and they kept provoking our Commander-in-Chief Imri.

However, the trap has been made, the fish has taken the bait, the bait has been swallowed, how is it possible to escape again?

On the city wall, the magic mountain beat the drums of war!

Boom!

With a loud bang, the end of the Stannis Navy battleship was announced.

A flash of green light flashed through Davos's eyes and flew to the front, landing on the port side. In an instant, a nest of emerald vipers sizzled and rose in the stern of the Queen Alysanne, churning and burning. A terrifying shout came from the front: "Wildfire!"

In an instant, a salvo of ballistas from the city walls was fired, and barrels of wildfire material fell from the sky and poured down on this part of the sea of Davos.

It's not asphalt matter, it's not fire oil, it's wildfire. It was a wildfire that everyone thought could not be put into use on a large scale.

Countless blue flames like flexible poisonous snakes on the deck, on the sea, on the mast, flying everywhere, the screams were deafening, countless warriors jumped into the sea, but on the sea water is also a small green snake scurrying around, eating people when they see them!

Shout!

A blue flame streaked across the sky and was projected precisely above the Onion, and dozens of small green snakes fell from the sky.

"Jump into the sea!" Davos Seaworth shouted at his four sons, boom, he jumped into the sea, the sea was bitterly cold, and he remembered that his sons had all put on armor in order to land on the beach.

A soldier in armor commits suicide by jumping into the sea.

If you don't jump, you'll be burned to death by wildfire!

Davos felt like a thousand knives had been pierced through his body.

Boom!

The wildfire material was projected onto the deck of the Onion by trebuchets, and the green flames that flew on all sides were the little fingers of the demons, and when they licked lightly on the bodies of the soldiers, the soldiers wailed in pain and screamed in words that could not be described in words.

Davos emerged from the sea, and the Onion was already on fire, and soon became a fire. His eyes widened, and many soldiers on the deck wailed, jumping into the sea with green fire, and none of his four sons were gone.

On the city wall, the ballista shot the green fire of death, and on the mud gate square, thirty trebuchets started together, and the sound of bang bang bang bang was endless, and a hundred catties of boulders, eighty catties of boulders, sixty catties of boulders, and fifty catties of boulders fell from the sky like raindrops.

A hundred-pound boulder hits Stannis's Laugher directly. The Valerian battleship exploded and split like a child's toy thrown from a tower, splintering as long as an arm.

Trebuchet, indiscriminate attack.

The eleven remaining royal warships were also covered in a rain of rolling boulders.

Groups of small boats descended the naval harbor and merchant docks: ferries, rowboats, barges, rafts, galleons, and cargo ships with rotted hulls that could barely float.

Stannis's left flank had already won a great victory, they had damaged seven ships and damaged twenty-one, most of them by their own men.

The left flank turned to the upper reaches of the Blackwater River, the south bank ferry, to pick up Stannis's army across the river.

After all, a raft cannot be compared with a battleship.

In the middle lane, the flagship Duke Stephen, Jenna and Heroic Sword are still fighting the royal flagships King, Warhammer, and Lyanna. Suddenly, the stones rolled in, and the Chinese warships collapsed in the stone bullets in the sky, some of the ships turned around and avoided downstream, and some of the ships leaned to the left, and everyone was hurrying to dodge the relentless stone rain.

The Duke Stephen could only watch the sky full of stones and could not fight back. Not far away, just in an instant, the Throne lost half of its oars, and the Faith was pierced by the enemy ship Warhammer and began to sink.

However, the real danger is looming.

No one noticed the swarms of ant-like fishing boats, barges, rotten boats, rafts, and small sailboats, which were densely packed and floated down the river and all over the river.

Every ship was filled with wildfires.

On the city walls, flaming bolts and ballistas were ready to go, just waiting for the rotten ships to flow into the enemy fleet.

In the middle of the river, the royal flagship, the King, held its ram and swooped down on the Duke Stephen.

"Right rudder!" shouted the captain.

"Bow and arrow!" shouted Commander-in-Chief Imre Florent.

However, regardless of how the enemy responded, the King rushed desperately. The huge Duke Stephen was too slow, and it seemed that it was only sunk by a wave, and suddenly a wave hit, the Duke Stephen turned sharply, and the King was also pushed away, although the captain Archibald Warner was personally at the helm, but in the turbulent Blackwater River, the battleship was just a child controlled by the river power at will.

When the collision finally happened, it was just a mutual scrape, the two hulls rubbed and scraped, and the paddles broke together. A jagged plank flew over Imre Floren's head, sharp as a spear.

Archibald Warner dropped the rudder and shouted "Come aboard!" The helmsman immediately stepped forward and desperately held on to the rudder wood, keeping his direction close to the enemy ship.

Numerous hooks were thrown from the King's ship and landed on the side of the Duke Stephen. Archibald Warner, commander of the Royal Fleet, armed with a heavy axe, was the first to climb over the railing. The soldiers on the Duke Stephen shouted to meet the ship's side, but suddenly, a group of black killers rushed out of Archibald Warner's side, and they rushed over the side like a madman, like a torrent of steel, and the soldiers of the Duke Stephen could not resist and were cut down one after another.

Archibald Warner weaves his way through the scuffle crowd in search of Imre Floren on an enemy ship. Suddenly, someone attacked him from behind with a tomahawk, but luckily the helmet blocked the blow, and his head buzzed and did not shatter.

Archibald Warner was dazed and staggered, and the sneak attacker screamed and pounced again. The tomahawk slashed down, Archibald Warner instinctively blocked, and with a bang, a force slammed through both arms, and he fell with a bang.

The enemy slashed again, aiming it at his face, and Archibald Warner saw it this time, it was Imre Floren, the commander of the enemy ship.

His mind suddenly cleared, and he rolled, dodging the fatal blow, and slashed with his axe, striking Imre Floren in the right leg. Imrifloren screamed and was hit with another axe in his left leg, this time with even more force, cutting off his left leg.

Imre Floren fell to his knees, and Archibald Warner slashed down with his axe, slashing at Imri's face, splitting his entire face in half.

When Archibald Warner got up, a soldier rushed over and reported to him: "Commander, the Duke of Stephen has been captured by our side. ”

Archibald took off his helmet, wiped the blood from his head and face, and turned back to his ship.

"We have completed the mission of Lord Magic Mountain, and we have ordered the brothers to all return home!" Archibald ordered.

The whole ship burst into cheers!

Boom!

The first explosion was sounded from a small boat going down the river.

The enemy ship White Deer immediately turned into a green fireball.

Bang bang bang!

A chain reaction occurred, and in the river, between the battleships, there were tattered boats everywhere, which exploded one after another.

The green flames were like brilliant fireworks, and they exploded continuously on the surface of the Heishui River.

The entire surface of the river soon became a sea of green flames.

A Mill warship desperately fled, looking to avoid the green flames, however, the huge green fire demon only stretched out a small finger, and the Mill battleship caught fire in an instant, and was instantly dragged into the green flames by the little green fingers.

The Brave, the Trident, the Swiftsword, Princess Shireen, the Dognose, the Kingpower, the Crow, the Nightcat, the Sea Spirit, and other warships were all easily swallowed up by the huge green fire demons that kept dancing wildly on the surface of the sea.

Archibald, the commander of the Royal Navy standing on the bow of the King, watched the Green Fire Demon stand up in front of him, and suddenly opened his mouth to breathe, but there was no scream, and the Green Goblin instantly enveloped the King......

There was a loud explosion, and the entire King was reduced to flying fragments......

Davos sailed down the bone-chilling waters, carefully avoiding every small green snake, and if that didn't work, diving deep underwater.

When he came out of the water again to breathe, he saw the iron cable.

Sure enough, the barrage was raised.

The gods save me!

The chains stretched out, about two or three feet above the surface of the water. More than a dozen wrecked warships had crashed into chains, and the rolling water was pushing the wreckage of other ships over.

Davos pulled the chain and gasped, he looked at the entire Blackwater River, all the boats in his sight were burning, even if they were still desperately trying to escape, it was difficult to escape the speed of the Green Goblin, and it was only a matter of time before they were hooked by the Green Goblin's little finger.

In despair, Davos looked out of the Watergate, where forty pirate warships were still there. His pirate friend, Sarado Thorn's fleet, is still parked there...... The ship's lights were on, but they weren't moving forward......
