Chapter 0585 Night Battle
In the southeasternmost corner of the Red Keep, there is a white minaret building that rises higher than the city walls, which is the White Sword Tower where the Kingsguard lived.
The White Sword Tower overlooks the entire Blackwater Bay.
Tonight, there are no Kingsguard in the Tower of the White Sword: Captain Loras Tyrell is dead, and the Kingsguard members Jaime Lannister, Baron Sven, Osmond Kate Black, and Ser Alex Oakhutt are not in King's Landing, they are in the King's Landing.
Jaime was making his way back to King's Landing, but there was a conundrum in front of him that he couldn't solve: there were no more ferries at the Blackwater River crossing.
The Royal Navy fleet blocked the throat water pass at the mouth of the sea, and the Blackwater River crossing was also blocked and controlled long ago.
The White Sword Tower is the residence of the Kingsguards.
It is a slender building with four floors above ground. The basement houses weapons and armor, and the second and third floors are the dormitories for six Kingsguard brothers, with three people living on each floor. On the top floor is the Captain's Quarters, the largest and a long rise above the exterior wall, overlooking the entire riverfront boulevard, the harbor, the King's Schoolyard, and the Blackwater Bay.
At midnight, there was a clicking sound in the arsenal in the basement, a wall full of weapons parted from it, a stone wall was slowly pushed open like a door, the light of the torches was revealed, a doorway that could only be entered and exited by one person appeared, and a general with a short crossbow poked his head out, without a helmet, she was Julie Cregan.
Julie Cregan came out of the hole in the wall, her eyes lit up with the weapons that filled the basement, long swords, shields, armor, spears, daggers, all of which were the finest weapons.
The second soldier came out, and as soon as he entered, his eyes glowed green, as if a gambler had seen a chip.
Then the third soldier, then the fourth soldier. The eyes glow green, like a cat that sees fresh fish.
"Take it if you can, I'll go to the ground first, be careful, don't drag yourself to the point where you can't fight in order to get a weapon. Julie said sharply.
"Ho!" the soldiers agreed, surprised and delighted.
Captain Julie allowed them to pick weapons, so what are you waiting for!
The soldiers immediately rushed to the finest swords, armor, helmets, boots, and capes of the Kingsguards......
Julie Cregan has not yet been promoted to knighthood by her father, she is eager for military merit, and tonight's raid on the first vanguard is an opportunity specially given to her by her father.
According to the inside information of Bernick Ligang, Kaivon ambushed people in the Prime Minister's Tower, the Throne Hall, the Virgin Residence, the Temple of the Seven Gods, the Mege Tower, the Divine Wood Forest, and the underground black prison tonight to prevent someone from suddenly coming out of the underground secret passage. But there was one thing he had missed: the White Sword Tower of the Kingsguard.
In the underground arsenal of the White Sword Tower of the Imperial Guard, there is a secret passage that communicates with the tunnel where the dragon bones are placed, and the Demon Mountain decided to select dead soldiers from among the soldiers to come out of the secret passage of the White Sword Tower to raid.
Surprise attacks can break the morale of the army as soon as possible, reduce casualties, and achieve goals. So as not to let some stupid fools misjudge the form.
Julie Cregan was given the vanguard mission for this raid.
Also an archer, Ange was already a baron, a knight, and married Miss Elan Nomuton, the heir of Nuquan Town, as his wife, and became famous and successful. And Julie, in addition to the real power of a bow captain, has only one false name of a general.
Julie desperately needs dazzling military feats! Although she shot and killed Dickentari in the battle with Randolph Tali, the military feats made her father, Lord Moshan, very uncomfortable.
Julie emerges from the basement arsenal and ascends the spiral staircase to the first floor above ground.
It is a circular room, the circular meeting room of the Kingsguard.
The stone walls, painted as white as snow, are hung with brocades of white wool. There is a fireplace on the south wall. On the fireplace hung a white shield and two crossed white swords. The round table in the middle of the meeting room is also made of gray-white fishbeam wood, and the top of the table is a giant shield, the table has three legs, carved into the shape of three horses, and supports the giant shield table in a triangle. According to tradition, the captain of the Iron Guard sat on the front of the shield, and the six brothers of the oath sat on either side of the three horses.
The round conference room is all white from the floor to the ceiling, from the ceiling to the decorations, to the tables and stools.
White, the color of the Kingsguard, symbolizes purity and immaculateness.
On the table is a huge book half the size of a table, the White Book written by the captains of the Imperial Guards.
The White Classic, also known as the Book of the White Knights, is a book that chronicles the lives of every one of the king's guards who have guarded the safety of the king for nearly 300 years.
Julie had never seen such a huge book, which was visually close to a meter long, half the width of the length, and about half a meter wide. Very thick. What attracts Julie even more is that the hinges of the book are made of pure gold thread, which seems to be worth a lot of money.
Julie pressed the urge to smash the book and take off the golden hinge, and her father warned her very harshly, leading the troops into the Red Fort Unlike other places, this is the highest power center in the capital of the Seven Kingdoms, it is the royal palace, and it cannot be killed indiscriminately, the goal of this military operation is to kill Prime Minister Kaifeng, not to destroy, and those who violate the order will be killed!
Julie gave up the urge to 'destroy' the book, she wanted to throw the torch on the book, which would give her the pleasure of destroying it for a short time, she rushed to the fireplace and removed the ceremonial aesthetic white shield and two white swords.
She put the shield on her back, holding two white swords in both hands, the two swords slashed each other hard, there was a sound, sparks splashed, and when she looked at the blade, it was really good steel in the world, the blade was undamaged, the cold was pressing, and it was obviously extremely sharp.
Julie was overjoyed, she came in and didn't kill anyone, but first got the loot that would definitely make people blush.
In the basement, there was a cacophony of noise, and the soldiers who came out of the secret passages scrambled to choose the best weapons and replace them with their own weapons, armor, helmets, and combat boots.
The weapons of the soldiers of the Demon Mountain are not bad, but compared to the weapons in the arsenal of the royal guards, the weapons of the soldiers are still not comparable.
The Iron Guards of the Royal Forest, the supreme knights of the Seven Kingdoms, the weapons in their arsenal are the good things left by the Iron Guards over the years, which is an immeasurable wealth, and many famous swords used by the Iron Guards a hundred years ago are not only sharp and sophisticated, but also have historical commemorative significance.
Julie hung two white swords on their sashes, a small round white shield on their backs, and a short crossbow in hand, and the soldiers poured up from the basement arsenal one by one.
"Only good weapons are allowed, no damage to property, no arson, no indiscriminate killing, and those who violate the order are beheaded!" Julie shouted.
The soldiers had already understood this order before they came in, and they all agreed in unison.
So, the gate of the White Sword Tower was opened from the inside, and Julie took the lead, leading the death squad to run in the direction of the bronze gate.
On the left hand side of the front, there is the stone house building of the royal courtiers, and in front, there is the Iron Throne Hall, the throne hall building, the former Varys hut, the woods and lawns, and a city gate barracks, which is the bronze gate of the Red Fort.
Julie's task is to cooperate with the Magic Mountain to attack the Bronze Gate of the Red Fort, and strive to force the defenders of the city to surrender early.
The defenders of the city were mainly royal guards, many dead soldiers, many real knights, loyal ones, and slaughtered these people, a bit like Cersei driving out the fearless Barristan Sermi, the captain of the Kingsguard.
Until the last minute, the Magic Mountain will not order the slaughter of the royal guards, which is fundamentally different from the slaughter of Randolph Tali's cavalry team. This night battle is best fought in one battle, and the royal guards choose to surrender after seeing the form clearly, and everyone is happy! If the royal guards must fight to the death, then kill them all!
Julie leads a hundred carefully selected dead soldiers!
A hundred soldiers followed Julie, and when they came out of the White Sword Tower, they no longer used torches.
Torches were lit everywhere in the Red Keep, and candles and braziers were lit in the rotunda on the first floor, although no one was in the White Sword Tower.
The Tingchen Stone HOS buildings were quiet, all the HOS houses were dark, and there was not a single light in the windows.
The White Sword Tower was uninhabited, but a servant lit a candle, and the courtier's house, which was supposed to be inhabited, was unlit. But on the road, there is a torch illumination.
Late at night, in the early hours of the morning, Julie and the others successfully passed through the courtier's stone house, and there was no fighting.
This made Julie and the warriors a little incredulous.
At the very least, the patrol should have met one or two teams, but no.
In front of it is the Iron Throne building, with woods, a huge shadow cast by the throne hall, and a triangular iron brazier on the outside of the Iron Throne, the firelight illuminates the clumps of places, but the darkness is even darker.
Julie and the soldiers all brought short crossbows: one for each of them! More than 100 people, that is, more than 100 short crossbows.
Julie slowed down, she divided the team into three squads, she led one team to be the vanguard and take the right path, the other team took a detour to the lawn and flanked, and the back pair was broken to prevent being outflanked by the enemy who was secretly ambushing.
This is a very cautious tactic!
As Julie was silently approaching the Iron Throne with the help of the Iron Throne's huge architectural shadow, a voice shouted abruptly on the side of the road, "Who?
Julie acted silently, but the more than thirty fighters behind her acted together, and there was still a certain slight footsteps.
It's late at night, and any sound becomes evident in the silence of the night.
"Loyal!!" Julie replied.
Tonight's order for the march of the Red Fort, Kaivon issued it, and the soldiers received the order, and Bernick Ligan soon knew about it.
The password passed, several patrol soldiers dodged out of the shadows, Julie sped up to catch up, and the soldiers behind him quickly followed, boom, Julie pulled the trigger of the short crossbow, and a short arrow flew out, hitting the throat of the enemy's leading soldiers.
The soldier fell backwards, and the rest of the soldiers were startled, and a series of arrows broke through the air, and a dense number of short arrows were shot, and several patrolling soldiers were shot in the forehead, face, throat, chest, and lower abdomen......
At this close range, it's easy to pierce armor with a short crossbow shot!
Julie crouched down and pulled out the short arrow, and several soldiers came up and crouched down at the same time, pulling out the short arrow and reloading it.
On the other side of the Iron Throne, there was a strange sound, and then the sound fell silent, and after a short while, the flank team made a detour to meet Julie. They were met by an ambushed enemy squad of six men, and the two sides fought after the command, and the sudden and dense fire of their short crossbows was invincible in close combat. All six people on the other side were shot down instantly, and none of them escaped.
Go over the Iron Throne building and kill two enemy squads, a total of 12 people!
Julie Fang doesn't lose a single person!
Short crossbows are too good for this kind of late-night raid!
Kai Feng scattered the only 300 royal guards and his own 300 prime minister's guards, and he arranged for 200 soldiers to be stationed in the Mei Ge Tower, the Prime Minister's Tower, the Virgin Residence, the Seven Temples and the underground black prison to prevent the dead soldiers of the Magic Mountain from suddenly emerging from the ground. These are all places where the Demon Mountain Raid Team is very likely to appear through detailed analysis, but he also has to defend the bronze gate, and suddenly, he finds that the manpower is really limited.
The bronze gate is good to defend, and the more difficult is underground. It is said that almost all the buildings in the Red Fort are connected by secret passages. Due to the limitations of Kaifeng's troops, he can't take care of every building.
Julie meets in the dark shadows of the Iron Throne's building, and she orders that all unnecessary things be piled up in the grass in front of the Iron Throne, and everyone will come back to pick them up after the battle. So the brothers still split into three teams, keeping their distance, and everyone was more careful to sneak.
Past the Iron Throne, past the site of what was once the Varys Hut, with a lawn, woods, and barracks in front of it.
Looking up, you can already see the silhouette projection of the high bronze gate city wall.
Julie gestured, and everyone dispersed, the crossbow raised flat, and pushed forward.
"Password!" a voice came from the lawn.
Julie stopped, and the other party lay in the grass and did not show up.
Julie stepped out, "Loyalty!" she asked rhetorically.
"Glory!" replied, and then stood up, and he saw Julie's revealing white round shield, "Which team?"
He was answered with a crisp thud, and with a thud, an arrow flew out and nailed into the other's chest. The soldier turned and staggered away, and Julie drew her dagger and rushed up and stabbed him in the neck.
"Enemy attack!" another voice sounded from behind a tree, "enemy attack!"
Burst!
A short arrow shot through his mouth. The sound stopped abruptly. The brothers of the other team advanced in parallel, and they had already flanked back into position and quietly made a move to deal with the dark sentinel.
In the grove in front, a group of shield soldiers, about twenty people, led by the team leader, looked over here: "Tsolo Erik, what happened?"
Shield Soldiers!
This gave Julie a headache.
The crossbow is not afraid of heavily armed armor, but of shield soldiers.
Julie blew the military whistle in the shadows.
The sharp military sentry revealed her position, but provided good cover for the other two squads. Julie gave the order for the flank and the third team to attack on the right flank.
Eat this small team of shield soldiers first.
Julie took the lead and rushed forward.
When the shield captain saw Julie and her squad, he was shocked and immediately blew the horn: Woo woo!
The shield soldier even has a horn!
Kaivon is also cautious and thoughtful to arrive home!
The shield soldier rushed towards Julie, and the shield was raised high, and his movements were a little sluggish.
Julie led her brothers to attack with a short crossbow.
Puff puff!
Countless short arrows were shot and nailed into the shields, and the soldiers let out screams of pain. Short crossbows shoot through shields, piercing their arms and shields, but this is not fatal.
On the wall of the bronze gate, the horn of the enemy attack sounded.
The sound of trumpets resounded throughout King's Landing.
It is also the sound of a trumpet that shakes the whole city.
The magic mountain said that the red castle was broken in the early morning, and now it is early in the morning, and on the city wall on the bronze gate, the horn sounded!
Tonight, the nobles of the whole city did not sleep, and on the walls of King's Landing, no one of the two thousand soldiers of the garrison slept, and everyone was looking forward to the sound of fighting from the Red Keep with a strange mood!
The Minister of War's Magic Mountain to Prime Minister Kai Feng, how Kai Feng will die in the end, and whether the bronze gate can hold on until dawn is a suspense that the people of the city and the soldiers of the garrison, the rich, the nobles, and the soldiers of the river bend are concerned about.
Outside the city, the military whistle of the magic mountain also blew immediately, 10,000 soldiers lined up neatly, the cavalry was in the middle of the infantry on both wings, ten siege ladders were erected, a siege ram had already been carried onto the siege vehicle, facing the bronze gate, just waiting for the magic mountain to give an order, ten siege ladders on the city wall, a siege vehicle forced to hit the door.
The magic mountain rode on the Red Smoke Beast, the ice giant sword was unsheathed, and on the Red Fort Square, the torches were densely lit, just like the stars in the sky, illuminating the night sky of the Red Fort: "Step archers, prepare!"
The five hundred bows and arrows that had been gathered together during the day moved together, and the arrows lit the tarpaulin on the brazier at the archer's feet, and the bows and arrows were raised high into the sky, and the tarpaulin burned into roses, and the click of the bowstring sounded intensively.
About 400 well-trained soldiers were stationed on the walls of the Red Fort, and it rained a few rounds of indiscriminate coverage of 500 rockets!
