"What about the Magic Mountain, tell him to come quickly, and I will reward him with a glorious title, which is General Wulie." Joffrey said.
The little devil looked up at his nephew: "Your Majesty, the magic mountain is in the Royal Navy fleet, inspect the hull of the battleship, sailors, navy soldiers, visit the captain." β
"Your Excellency Prime Minister, take me to see it. β
"Yes, Your Majesty. β
The naval harbor was very large, and more than twenty royal warships were parked in it. Many small fishing boats and large merchant ships line up inside and outside the harbor, neatly arranged. The two passages in and out remain unobstructed.
The magic mountain was on the dock, with a long table in front of him, and the court scholar Locke was beside him, holding a feather dipping pen, a bottle of ink was placed in front of the bachelor, and a book as big as a book was unfolded.
Twenty-three captains stood in front of the table.
Magic Mountain and Bachelor Locke sat behind the long table.
"What's your name, Captain. Magic Mountain asked the captain of the King, who was in first place.
"Archibald Warner. "The captain was a black-haired man, very burly, somewhat short, with a long sword hanging from his waist, and a rough appearance.
"Is it a knight?"
"Yes, sir. β
"Where?"
"Crab Claw Peninsula. β
"Oh, the Crab Claw Peninsula is a pure descendant of the ancestors, and there has never been a shortage of valiant warriors, and since Aegon came to conquer you 299 years ago, you have never changed your allegiance. Seventeen years ago, in the Usurper War, Prince Rhaegar fought alongside you warriors of the Crab Claw Peninsula, proud and loyal dragon warriors, and I salute you, Captain. β
The people of the Crab Claw Peninsula are like the people of the mountain tribes, they are surprisingly strong in combat, but they are not looked down upon by the nobles. Seventeen years ago, during the Battle of the Trident River, the great families of the peninsula fought with Prince Rhaegar to the end, and the locals proudly called the people of the Crab Claw Peninsula all exemplary subjects of the dragon family, hence the name of the dragon warriors.
Archibald Warner proved his prowess by becoming the captain of the Knight and the King, but in knightly circles and the nobility, the name 'Dragon Warrior' was despised by the pot-bellied nobles.
For the first time, the Magic Mountain, as the guardian of King's Landing and the supreme military commander, and the status of an earl, gave Archibald Warner the recognition and heartfelt praise he deserved.
"I am willing to fight to the death for you, Lord Demon Mountain. Archibald Warner knelt down on one knee and drew his sword, the tip of the sword pointing downward, holding the hilt with both hands and resting his forehead on the hilt. This is a gesture of respect unique to the people of the Crab Claw Peninsula, and it comes from the heart.
The Magic Mountain has a talent for making 'hot-blooded, generous, and brave' people die for him.
"Captain Archibald Warner, where's your family?"
"I have a son, on the Crab Claw Peninsula. β
"What's his name?"
"Comwarner!"
"How old are you?"
"Eleven, sir. β
"Captain Archibald Warner, if you die in battle, I want you to know, and I will go to the Crab Claw Peninsula to find your son, take Comb as my squire, and make him a knight on the day of his coming-of-age ceremony. If any of the neighboring knights want to take advantage of your domain, Captain Archibald, I promise you that I will cut off his head! Maester Locke, have you recorded what Captain Archibald and I have said?"
"Yes, sir. β
"Including my vows and commitments. β
"Yes, sir. β
"Lord Magic Mountain...... Archibald Warner's head lifted from the hilt of his sword, and the corners of his eyes trembled slightly. There is no shortage of warriors on the Crab Claw Peninsula, but there is a lack of respect and equal treatment.
The words of the magic mountain just now, in just a few words, conquered Archibald Warner's proud and stubborn heart!
"Archibald Warner, what weapon do you use?" asked the Magic Mountain.
"Tomahawk, my lord. β
"The enemy will come to the mouth of the Blackwater River in three days, a total of two hundred and seventy warships, twelve times the number of our warships, Captain Archibald, are you afraid?"
"My lord, the people of the Crab Claw Peninsula never know what fear is. β
"Very well, I want your King to be the flagship and command twenty-three warships to attack. The enemy is twelve times as many as ours, but I want you to attack. Fight to the death and never retreat. β
"Fight to the death, never retreat. β
"Good. I want you to go to the Sea King now, gather your brothers, ask them about their homes, addresses, and relatives in the family, record them, and give them to me. I want you to tell your brothers that the Magic Mountain swears by blood and life......"
Whoosh, Moshan pulled out the short knife, held the sharp blade in his left hand, and forced, the blade cut into the palm, and the blood dripped down little by little: "The old and new gods are above, Moshan swears with blood and life that he will not treat any brother badly." I prepared sufficient military pay to ensure that my brothers would have food for their families after they died in battle. What I want to say is that this is your territory, this is your home, there are your brothers and sisters in the city, and the royal land is your native land, and anyone who comes to invade will kill him!"
Captain Archibald's whole body was full of blood, he put down his long sword, knelt on his knees, kowtowed to the Magic Mountain, got up, and put the long sword into the sheath: "Lord Magic Mountain, it is an honor for me and my brothers to fight to the death for you. β
Captain Archibald strode to the bow of the ship, and his trumpeter immediately blew the horn, and soon the two hundred soldiers of the Sea King gathered on the deck, and after a while, the passionate slogan sounded: Fight to the end, never retreat, long live the Magic Mountain!
In the distance, the Prime Minister and the King walked towards the dock with a large number of courtiers and generals, and King Joffrey said, "What are those fools shouting? Long live the Magic Mountain? Have they forgotten who they are fighting for? What does the Magic Mountain want to do? This is King's Landing, not Fort Klegane, and I want to commend him!"
"Your Majesty, the warriors are willing to fight to the death for the Magic Mountain, and the Magic Mountain is to fight to the death for Your Majesty. The little devil said in a deep voice.
"I'm going to fight myself, and let them see who the real bastard is and who the real warrior is. β
Sansa said, "Your Majesty, my brother Robb always goes to fight in the fiercest places. β
This sentence is very vicious and murderous.
The little devil looked at Sansa, who lowered her head and added, "Of course, Robb is an adult, and Your Majesty ......"
"I'll clean up my second uncle first, and then go north and cut off your brother's head. Joffrey shouted angrily.
"I really hope you still have a chance. Sansa said to herself, "Go to battle, the most valiant king of the seven kingdoms." "His Majesty has the blood of a warrior from King Robert, who always charged into battle, took the lead and killed the enemy. Sansa said.
"Of course, in the Trident River Domain, my father took the lead and knocked Prince Rhaegar down the Red Fork River with a single hammer, and he couldn't even find his body. Joffrey smirked.
"Sansa!" the little devil lowered his voice and shook his head slightly.
His nephew is a jerk, but the little devil must protect him, and he is the king.
"Don't intimidate my fiancΓ©e, little devil. "Joffrey forgets his status and dignity when he is happy, he is the king, he can shout as much as he wants," I will let you see with your own eyes how I fought when my second uncle came. I'm going to get him down on his knees and beg for mercy, but I'll never let him go. β
The group arrives at the docks, where Magic Mountain is asking about the Warhammer Captain's family and making it a record for Rock Bachelor.
"Captain George Gall, you have three children, a boy and two girls, and your sons will succeed to your title when they grow up, and your two daughters will let your wives call the shots and marry them off to the right knights. β
"No, my lord, I want you to take my son as an adopted son, my lord. β
"Yes, Sir, I promise you. Sir Locke, record it. β
"It's been noted, sir. β
Choke!
George Gal drew his sword and knelt down on one knee: "George Gal hereby swears to your lordship that the old and new gods are above, and George Gal will lead the Warhammer to storm the enemy, fight to the death, and never retreat." β
The little devil watching from the side chuckled in his heart, George Gal will lead the Warhammer to storm the enemy, fight to the death, and never retreat from the Demon Mountain, with twenty-three warships to resist two hundred and seventy warships, this is clearly to let these twenty-three warships all go to death!
Royal Navy warships, a total of twenty-three ships, Magic Mountain This is a tactical plan to be completely buried.
The little devil looked at the battleships such as the Lyanna, the King, the King's Landing, and the Queen, and the naval soldiers gathered on the deck of the battleship, their long swords shining, like a forest of sword light, and they were all roaring: Fight to the end, never retreat, long live the Magic Mountain!
The little devil understands that the pre-war mobilization of the Magic Mountain is very successful......!
According to the intelligence, Stannis's battleship came to the mouth of the Blackwater River in three days, and at that time, the battle at sea was about to begin.
"Hey!" Joffrey stepped forward and shouted, "Magic Mountain, why don't the captains and warriors of the royal warship shout Long live the King, long live the Queen Mother?"
Moshan stood up and glared at the child king, who took a half step back, his eyes suddenly timid.
"Your Majesty, when you put on your armor, mount your horse, and charge with your sword, you will be shouted by all the soldiers of the army, long live the King, long live the Queen Mother. β
"I'll go to war. β
"Okay, I'll wait for you to go to battle together!" Demon Mountain said coldly, he drew his ice greatsword, and the blade reflected the bright sunlight, "Captains, warriors, the king will fight side by side with us, long live the king!"
The shouts of the Magic Mountain were like thunder, rolling over the harbor and roaring over the harbor.
"Long live the king, long live the king, long live the king!"
............
The soldiers and the people of the city had a bad impression of the king and the queen mother, and people were nostalgic for the era when Robert was there, which was well known to all the courtiers, including Cersei herself, but King Joffrey did not know this.
Naturally, the little devil is also very aware of this.
The two Kingsguards, Mandenmoor and Malintlan, stared at the Magic Mountain with gloomy eyes, and the Mountain did not look at them.
Long live the king's shouts resounded through the Blackwater River!
On the other side of the Heishui River, there was a strange sound, faint, like muffled thunder spreading in the clouds. It was as if the huge sound had been absorbed by the cloud sponge, leaving only a little aftersound to echo.
Everyone was silent, and the voice carried some mysterious magic, which made everyone listen involuntarily.
"Cavalry!" Boron shouted from a merchant ship in the middle of the river, his voice sharp and stirring, "Lord Magic Mountain, cavalry!" he pointed to the south bank of the Blackwater River.
On the other side of the Blackwater River is a primeval forest where Robert, the former king of the Royal Forest, loved to hunt. The Storm Avenue leading to Storm's End, the Rose Avenue leading to the High Court, and the King's Avenue leading to the banks of the Blackwater River are connected outside an inn somewhere in the Royal Forest.
A cavalry appeared from King's Road in the Royal Forest and came to the river crossing. However, there are no boats at the ferry.
As if in an instant, the sound of horses' hooves exploded, and countless cavalry tides appeared from the forest of the Royal Forest, and they flocked to the bank of the river, but as far as the eye could see, the waters of the upper and lower reaches of the Heishui River were empty, and there was not a single boat.
Stannis arrived with his army horses, and tens of thousands of horses' hooves struck the ground with a thunderous sound that lifted dust from the riverbank.
The neighing of people and horses roared over the wide, rippling river of black water, and surging towards this side like an explosion. Someone was shouting, "Go find the ferry!" and the sound was faintly heard across the river.
Soon, the pennants on the other side of the river were unfurled, and the banners of the major nobles of the stormland were raised one after another, and the horses flowed like dragons, pouring out from the edge of the royal forest in an endless stream, and the momentum was amazing, and I don't know how many enemy cavalry there were.
Baron Sven, the guard of the Kingsguard, saw his family's flag: two fighting swans, one black and one white.
According to the news received in the Red Keep of King's Landing, Sir Donalswain led the army of the Sven family in Stonehelm City to join the army of Blue Baratheon, and after the death of Blue Rite, Donnal led the army to join Stannis Baratheon's army.
Donalswain is the elder brother of Baron Sven and the heir to Stonehelm.
Balon Sven was a skilled swordsman and a skilled bow, losing to only one person in King's Landing's archery tournament: Angel the Divine Arrow.
King Joffrey once asked Baron what he should do if he met Sir Donnell on the battlefield.
The people on the south bank of the Heishui River shouted and neighed, the cavalry came to the shore in an endless stream, countless horses rushed to the river to drink water, and the cavalry ranks began to be chaotic. Seeing the other party's position, the Queen Mother Cersei did not know that tens of thousands of troops were coming, and the news was reported that some of the Tyrells' army also defected to Stannis.
Cersei's face turned pale.
After the enemy's cavalry, there were infantry, and the navy came by water.
After Lan Li's death, Stannis's strength suddenly increased several times.
The warships are twelve times the size of King's Landing's royal fleet, and the army seems to be at least several times the total combat power of King's Landing.
Suddenly, a voice resounded through King's Landing, resounding through the Blackwater River, suppressing all the noise on the other side: "Who dares to go with me to the other side of the battle?"
The Magic Mountain is shouting!
The enemy is too strong, the magic mountain can see that some soldiers are shaken, those fearful eyes can not be concealed, there are too many enemies on the other side, the cavalry is crowded with black pressure on the shallows on the other side of the river, and the forest is still running out of cavalry.
The enemy was tired from a long run, and his horses were thirsty and went to the river to drink water, and the formation was in disarray, so it was a good time to charge into battle.
After crossing the Magic Mountain, he has read the vernacular popular version of "The Art of War", watched "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" over and over again, and learned the idiom story about "Thirty-six Strategies", and he knows that this time is the best time to rush into battle to boost our morale.
"Who dares to cross the river with me and rush into battle?" roared the Demon Mountain. The little devil's eardrums shook and ached.
"Scorching Charm!"
"Black-eared Zira!"
"Lunarian Gonthor!"
"Erin!" shouted Captain Erin, drawing his sword.
"Polyvo Cregan!"
Polivier the bald shouted, and his right cheek began to twitch rapidly.
Choke!
The long sword is unsheathed, and the void slashes!
"Dunson Cregan!"
"Chiswick Cregan!"
"Bolon!"
"Baron Sven!"
"Sandor Cregan!"
"Angai!"
"Rolger!"
"Fat Zorro!"
Arrak's scimitar was unsheathed, and a bright light coiled above his head.
"Jeslyn Baiwatt!"
..................
"The battleship King sends the brothers across the river to charge!"
"The Warhammer sends the brothers across the river to charge!"
"The battleship Empress sends the brothers across the river to charge!"
The Magic Mountain shouted: "Cross the river and charge into battle, kill Stannis!"
This phrase has dark magic and is unstoppable!
On all the warships, on the docks, and on the city walls, the shouts of tens of thousands of soldiers suddenly sounded: cross the river and charge into battle, kill Stannis!
The Magic Mountain jumped on the King's Horn, and the soldiers followed one after another, and the crowd was surging, like a group of madmen from hell!
The king was dumbfounded.
The little devil shouted at the city wall: Attack the horn!
Morale is overwhelming, and the little devil knows this!
Woooooooooooooooo
Woooooooooooo
Woooooooooooo
On the city walls, the horn of attack sounded. The voice is majestic, desolate, killing, solemn!
The people of the whole city fell silent, turned their heads sideways, looked at the sky, and their eyes were uncertain.
War is coming?!
Boom! Boom!
Twenty-three royal warships beat the war drums together, and the twenty-three battleships started together, the war drums thundered, and the battle drums were uniformly beaten: boom, boom, boom!
The battleships sailed out of the harbor and lined up on the surface of the Blackwater River.
The magic mountain held its shield high, and the ice giant sword struck on the shield, and the war drums sounded: !!
The soldiers around him drew their long swords one after another, struck their shields or chest armor, and they were all in unison, fitting the thunderous drums of war: Bang! Bang!
The sound of horns, war drums, and shields combined into an indestructible battle intent, which shook the heavens and the earth, was invisible and qualitative, and suddenly swept across the other side.
The war horses and cavalry on the other side of the river were completely still for a moment! The war horses drinking water raised their heads together and looked at the other side in disbelief.
When the magic mountain roared, across the Heishui River, where the waves were high and the water was fast, no one paid attention to the 'bluff' on the other side of the weakened army...... Stannis's army is too strong......
However......
Suddenly, a sharp and stirring voice sounded, and Stannis appeared, brandishing his sword: "Lancers, line up by the river!"
Boom, boom, horses' hooves were rattling, and the lancers were lined up. The horses circled, coming and going, the centurion shouted, the soldiers whipped the horses, and the chaos became a mess.
"Cavalry archers, array!"
Boom Boom!
The archers lined up behind the lancers in hundreds.
Suddenly the war began, and the military orders came and went!
The horses that were densely packed by the river and drank water were forcibly pulled away by the soldiers, and the cavalry got on their horses, turned around one after another, and ran around, shouting and neighing, looking for their own team.
"Attack speed!" shouted Demon Mountain.
And so the drumbeat of the royal fleet immediately turned into a rapid and dense sound: boom, boom, boom......
Twenty-three battleships with well-trained battle intent like Long Yan were lined up and shot across the Heishui River like arrows!
Archibald Warner, captain of the battleship King, stood on the bridge of the flagship and shouted, "Brothers, bow and arrow ready!"
On the twenty-three battleships, each battleship had two hundred naval soldiers, they were neatly arranged on the deck, and on each battleship there were two hundred people in a phalanx, each with a bow and arrow in his hand. With the command of the flagship captain, more than 4,000 bows and arrows were drawn together, and the arrows were pointing towards the sky.
"Launch!"
The sound of breaking the air seemed to come from the nine heavens, the arrows of the iron arrows slid through the air and the screams came from far and near, the black dots were dense, all over the sky, and suddenly, the sound of the sound of the black water was loud, close at hand, thousands of iron arrows whistled down, covering the entire beach on the south bank of the Heishui River......
Stannis's archers and lancers, on the other hand, were disturbed and had not yet completed their formation......
