The height of the first floor is about three meters, and the Great Wall of Desperation, which is completely made of ice, is more than two hundred meters high, so Li Nan and the others are equivalent to standing on the seventy floors and watching the wild people that appear six times after another.

Under the light of the raging fire, looking at the wild people below from this height, their size was not much different from that of ants, and Li Nan and the others took out the binoculars produced in Mill to carefully observe these wild people.

Although the wild people outside the fortress have some civilization, they do not have the process of mining and casting, and because it is cold outside the Great Wall all year round, they cannot grow any crops, so these wild people wear animal skins, eat animal meat, and only some steel weapons are also looted across the Great Wall.

After observing for a moment, Stannis put down his binoculars and said disdainfully: "Although these rabble are numerous, it is a pity that they don't even have decent weapons, and I can sweep them with five thousand cavalry!" ”

Li Nan reminded: "Most of the wild people really don't have much lethality, but if you look at those giants and mammoths and white bears, these guys are the great enemies of cavalry. ”

Stannis looked down again, this time focusing on the giants that were more than three meters tall, as well as mammoths of the same height and the sturdy white bears, and frowned in silence.

There were more and more wild people coming out of the ghost forest, constantly approaching the desperate Great Wall, and seeing the dense black spots below, many soldiers with little combat experience began to get a little nervous.

Li Nan noticed that these soldiers were a little demoralized, and hurriedly encouraged them loudly: "Don't be afraid, don't forget that we still have a strong Great Wall of Desperation, you only need to throw stones and arrows down to kill these damn savages!" ”

These words eased the tension of the soldiers, especially when they saw that Li Nan, Stannis, and Sir Thorne were all standing on the Great Wall to face him together.

As the wildlings drew closer and closer to the Wall, Sir Thorne commanded, "Bow the bow and light the fire, and the others are on standby!" ”

After calculating the approximate distance, his raised right hand swung down suddenly: "Shoot!" ”

Thousands of lights appeared from the walls more than two hundred meters high, and these ignited arrows turned into countless arcs, flying towards the black-pressed wildling legion below.

It was night, and it was so far away that the thousands of archers on the Wall couldn't aim at all, and their rockets only shot down a few hundred wildlings.

This casualty was nothing to the army of more than 100,000 savages, but it aroused the ferocity of these savages, who brandished all kinds of weapons in their hands and began to charge towards the desperate Great Wall.

Seeing that the savages rushed to the edge of the tall wall and began to climb up, Sir Thorne hurriedly ordered the archers to step into the wooden arrow tower that stretched out of the wall.

Just as all the archers were busy shooting arrows and the other soldiers were frantically throwing stones downward, the wildlings began to fight back.

The Great Wall of Desperation is more than two hundred meters high, and I am afraid that except for catapults and bed crossbows, the wild men standing on the ground will not be able to attack the people above at all, but this time there are quite a few giants in the wild army.

The three-meter-tall giants were no showman, holding the huge bony longbows in their hands, and shooting arrows comparable to spears.

These spears and arrows with a screeching sound contained a huge amount of power, and several unlucky soldiers who were shot flew directly backwards, and finally fell heavily into the black castle in the Great Wall, and the two arrow towers were also shot, and more than a dozen archers on them fell down with a wail.

Pulling aside a soldier who had been almost shot, Li Nan said to Sir Thorne: "It's too dangerous on the arrow tower, withdraw the archers, and we will defend on the wall!" ”

The Acting Commander-in-Chief of the Night's Watch, Sir Thorne, had spent half of his life at Castle Black, but it was the first time he had seen such a large-scale wild attack, and it was also the first time he had seen a mighty giant.

After hearing Li Nan's reminder, he hurriedly ordered the archers on the front arrow tower to withdraw, and strengthened the throwing manpower.

It was not easy to transport the stones to the high Great Wall, so after more than an hour of fierce fighting, the Night's Watch had almost used up the stone reserves that the Night's Watch had been stockpiling for years.

Countless wild people bravely climbed the Great Wall with their self-made spike boots and crampons, and some of them even climbed to the middle of the ice wall.

The enemy had reached the intended position, and Sir Thorne commanded in a loud voice: "Release the scythe!" ”

The Night's Watch used sledgehammers to cut the chains that held the steel scythes in place, and the thigh-thick steel anchor-shaped scythes fell against the ice wall, sweeping from side to side like a pendulum.

All the wild people who were grazed by this terrifying giant scythe were cut to pieces, and some panicked wild people were also killed after falling off the ice wall.

There is an identical steel scythe every few tens of meters on the Great Wall of Desperation, and with this kind of large-scale killing weapon, no matter how many wild people there are, they can't climb up.

After the tragic deaths of thousands of wild men who climbed the ice wall, the king of the outside of the fortress who commanded the battle below finally changed his strategy.

Carrying large shields made of thick wood, the giants rode mammoths to the gates of the Night's Watch as they entered and exited the Wall.

The prepared night watchmen aimed the barrels of fire oil at the gates, and when the giants and mammoths rushed over, they threw the barrels down, followed by a rocket.

Several wooden barrels weighing hundreds of pounds directly knocked down a giant, and the rockets ignited the fire oil scattered around, and the city gate was on fire for a while, and more than a dozen besieging giants and mammoths were caught in the fire.

The Night's Watch's defensive tactics were absolutely successful, but everyone underestimated the giants, who were covered in flames and screamed and pounded the fortified gates with a roar before they died.

The gates on the Great Wall of Desperation have two tiers, the outer gate is made of solid ironwood, and the inner gate is made of steel, but these two gates are a little fragile in the face of desperate giants.

If the city gate is opened, there will be more than 100,000 savages rushing in, and then there will be no other way but to fight hard, so there is absolutely no room for loss there.

After putting down the binoculars, Li Nan said to Stannis and Sir Thorne, "I will take people down to defend the city gates, and you can continue to defend the city walls." ”

"Nope." Stannis objected: "Now the people on the city wall are all your soldiers from the north, you can't leave as their commander, otherwise it will hurt morale, or I will lead people to defend the city gate." ”

Although Li Nan didn't like the cold Stannis, he made a lot of sense, the most feared thing during the battle was the departure of the main general, which was likely to cause panic among the soldiers.

In this case, Li Nan and Sir Thorne glanced at each other, and both nodded in agreement with Stannis.

After Stannis left the Great Wall with his men, Li Nan commanded the soldiers to fight while observing the situation in front of the city gate with a telescope.

Before they died, the burning savages finally smashed the wooden gate with surprising perseverance, and violently ripped off the steel gate and the door frame.

The savages under the city cheered in unison when they saw the gates opened, and they rushed to the gates, to their own path of hope......
