Chapter 649: The Right Way to Deal with Ghouls
"Trebuchet! Shoot fireballs! Giant crossbows, aim for those giants! Bronze Jon gave the order loudly, and by the light of the wildfire, he had seen the enemy's formation clearly, and with his rich experience, he had made the right response.
The trebuchet mounted on the city wall began to fire, throwing projectiles made of grease-soaked straw rope, which landed in the group of ghouls and rolled forward, igniting the ghouls along the way.
The crossbowmen aimed at the tall giants with the glow of wildfire and incendiary grenades, and the giant arrows loaded with dragon crystal arrows screeched at them, and the transformed ghouls lost their fear, fearless in battle, but in the same way, they also lost their ability to dodge, and in a few moments several giant ghouls fell from the arrows.
"Look, these big guys aren't scary at all, they're just stupid and waiting for you to!" Bronze Jon took the opportunity to boost morale, and a laugh rang out from up and down the city walls, and the low morale after seeing the army of ghouls just now gradually recovered, and the scene just now had already made them understand that although the enemy was terrible, it was not invincible.
"Huh~~Drink~~" At the front of the army, there were several rows of warriors with large shields, who firmly planted their shields on the ground, and then pressed their shoulders against the large shields, forming a solid shield wall that stopped the army of ghouls, just like Little Skinning did against Jon and them in the battle of the bastards.
Then the Unsullied used their dragon crystal spears to stick through the gap in the middle of the shield wall, almost no aiming, each stab can kill more than one ghoul, fighting is not enough to rely on courage alone, how to preserve their own vitality is equally important, otherwise the onboard charge of the little devil will not be so bad.
That's right, this is the right way to deal with the army of ghouls, it is much easier to kill the ghouls with a shield wall and spears than to send Dothraki cavalry up to charge up and send them to death, Shen Long nodded with relief.
Seeing that there were more and more ghouls in front of the shield wall, the strong men who resisted the shield gradually became a little unable to support it, and suddenly heard two dragon groans, Daenerys and Jon respectively controlled Drogon and Rego to swoop down from the sky on the left and right, and the dragon flame ploughed through the densely packed ghouls, it was a pity that such a good target was not used.
The two dragon flames killed countless ghouls, the Unsullied ones accelerated the speed of their stabbing attacks, most of the ghouls lying on the shield wall were killed and wounded, and the ghouls in the rear were blocked by the dragon flames and could not step forward to support for the time being, and the warriors who resisted the giant shield won a little respite, and the reserves behind hurriedly stepped forward to replace them and carried the giant shield.
The Unsullied also changed a batch, the previous group stepped back and rested for the time being, and a new wave of new forces replenished and regained control of the situation, and they were able to fend off the ghouls for a while.
It is not only courage that determines the outcome of the war, but more importantly, wisdom, there is no need for the Winterfell side to lower their wisdom to the level of hand-to-hand combat with the ghouls, use tools and wisdom to make the war go according to their own ideas, and deal with these armies without intelligence, it is completely possible to obtain the maximum results at the minimum cost.
Just because the ghouls don't have intelligence doesn't mean that the ghosts don't either, and soon the army of ghouls began to disperse, splitting into waves to attack from the left and right, trying to bypass the shield wall and attack from behind.
At this moment, the Arraki scimitar in the hands of the Dothraki cavalry guarding the left and right flanks lit up, and the longswords in the hands of the Valley Knights, the Knights of Winterfell, and the Lannister House Knights also burned at the same time, and the red-robed witch Melisandre finally rushed over to buff them.
The two cavalry drew two arcs of fire on the plain, and they attacked from the flanks and charged into the ghoul formation, dividing them, and then the cavalry on the left came to the right, and the cavalry on the right came to the left, not only killing and wounding many ghouls in the process of changing positions, but also disrupting their formation, so that their plan to attack the flanks of the infantry phalanx failed.
The strange ghosts changed again, the ghoul group was chaotic for a while, giants, mammoths, dead giant bears and other huge creatures came forward from behind, they wanted to use the huge size of these alien ghouls to break the shield wall, with the size of giants, mammoths and giant bears, as long as they approached the shield wall, the human soldiers in the rear would definitely not be able to carry it.
Unfortunately, all this has long fallen into the eyes of Bronze Jon, and one of the main tasks he left on the city wall is to guard against the heavy offensive forces of these enemy forces, and the giant crossbows made by Cobain played a role at this time, these giant crossbows can kill even dragons, not to mention giants and mammoths?
And their goal is so big, and they won't dodge, they launch condescendingly, and it's difficult to miss, one by one giants and mammoths fell, and the dragon crystal arrows not only made them lose the ability to continue to act, but also overwhelmed many ghouls after the huge body fell, although these could not make the ghouls die, but they also disrupted their formation again and relieved the pressure on the shield wall.
Shen Long also took off his elven bow with great interest, mounted a long arrow of dragon crystal arrow, and aimed at a ghoul giant bear and shot it over.
Bronze Jon shook his head when he saw this, "Hey, ordinary bows and arrows are ....... so far away" Before he could finish speaking, Shen Long's long arrow hit the giant bear's eye, and the giant bear fell down with a bang, almost choking Bronze Jon to death.
"A great bow and arrow." Bronze Jon gave a thumbs up and went on to command the crossbow and trebuchet.
Although they dealt with it properly and were able to inflict maximum damage on the enemy at the least cost, the army of ghouls was so numerous that after fending off several waves of attacks, the shield wall was somewhat overwhelmed.
The gray bug then issued an order, and the Chinese army retreated behind the first trench by taking advantage of the gap between the dragon flames, and then lit the trench, temporarily stopping the ghouls with a wall of fire, and when they saw the flames, out of instinctive fear, the ghoul army stopped.
"Hah! We can win! Seeing this, Bronze Jon and Lyanna Mormont looked delighted.
"No, that's not enough!" Shen Long shook his head, and as soon as he finished speaking, he saw a strange ghost appear by the wall of fire, and a crack appeared in the wall of fire, and countless ghouls poured in.
In the sky, another dragon roared, and the Night King finally appeared, swooping down on the head of Veserion to Winterfell, and he also spotted the threat of these trebuchets and crossbows at the head of the city, and planned to destroy them first.
At that moment, Daenerys and Jon rushed out at the same time, and Drogon and Rego flanked each other in an attempt to stop the Night King.
Shen Long grabbed Arya's arm, "Let's go, let's go to the Divine Wood Forest now, that's where the final victory will be!" ”
