Composed of seven islands in Iron Bay, located to the west of the continent of Westeros, the Iron Islands have been recorded as a solitary land since the Heroic Age.

Before the conquest of Westeros by the Dragon King Aegon, it was an independent country ruled by the "King of the Iron Isles", also known as the "Iron King".

The subjects of the Iron Kingdom, the Iron People used to call themselves "Iron Seeds".

Due to the harsh natural conditions and barren land of the Iron Islands, the Iron Islands were not self-sufficient, so the Iron Breeds have always lived and proudly raided them, and they called this way of life "Ancient Road", the equivalent of the Vikings of the Middle Ages.

This kind of survival rule with a strong pirate color is most evident in the Greyjoy family's ethnic language, "strong wins better than hard work".

Overall, the ocean-worshipping Iron Islands practiced a primitive and brutal way of life, and like all maritime peoples, they had an extraordinary desire for freedom, which was the underlying reason for the frequent rebellions of the Iron Islands.

Accustomed to seeing the vastness of the sea and the power of nature, Iron has a very poetic understanding of life and death.

For example, now,

After the city gate collapsed, Lynn's extremely brave army launched an attack as soon as possible, but it was still blocked outside the west gate of Twin River City.

The fortress built by the Iron People soldiers with their flesh and blood for the first time prevented the light cavalry from entering the city first.

Since he squeezed into the city walls first, white-knuckle combat in a small space was the only option.

After half an hour's effort, the corpses were piled up on top of each other as high as a hill.

The soldiers on both sides could only step on the pile of corpses from both ends and continue to pile them up.

The crossbowmen of the Tiger Ben Regiment continued to climb down the pile of corpses to the highest point, shooting indiscriminately at the dense Iron Folk soldiers below, and then quickly retreated,

The gap is too small, and there are too many people on both sides.

Can't climb up more people at once.

Spearmen and spearmen on both sides resisted the gap, and a stalemate formed on both sides.

This is still the relatively wide west gate of the Twin River City.

The collapse that was smashed by a trebuchet not far away, the battle was even more stalemate and tragic.

After the war has been fought to this point, there is no tactic to speak of, and the two sides have launched a swan song of life and death with strong will and determination to die.

Lynn had a larger army and better weapons, but the Iron Islanders were on the defensive, had a certain geographical advantage, and they had captured many of the inhabitants of Twin Cities, who had been driven to fill the gap with gravel and sandbags and build a defensive line.

However, Lynn's light cavalry came too quickly, and the sword and shield soldiers on the walls attacked the Iron Folk archers, and before they could carry more rubble, they were pushed to the front of the line by Greyjoy's soldiers, serving them as flesh and blood defense.

Most of the corpses blocked at the bottom of the gates and gaps were innocent civilians.

The stubbornness of the enemy surprised Lynn, there are few deserters in this world, and if there is, it is the general of the army who is the first to announce the retreat or surrender, and the soldiers have no right to take the initiative to raise the white flag.

Because it is detrimental to the glory, in most battles in history, people who have been taken prisoner have usually not ended well.

Therefore, the end of the battle is often very fierce.

Finally, a voice rang in the ears of Lynn, who was overseering the battle.

"Look, my lord, the sword and shield soldiers have taken the city wall!"

Lynn raised his eyes when he heard this, and after a moment, his expression was relieved, as long as he could completely control the city wall, it would be fine.

Rodat's command under the city walls could not crowd to the crossbowmen on the corpse hill at the city gate and shouted: "Crossbowmen and archers climb from the ladder to the wall, quick!"

As long as you occupy the city wall, the enemy is all piled together, as long as you can control the city wall, let your crossbowmen directly shoot the opponent's support from a high position.

Then the soldiers on the opposite side who are holding the gap will not be able to make up the defense smoothly.

The dawn of victory was coming, Lynn thought.

......

The Iron Knights and Infantry gathered behind the gates saw their leader, Victor Greyjoy, retreat from the walls.

Located to the west of Westeros, this is a collection of seven islands in Tiemin Bay, and has been known to have been a solitary land since the Heroic Age. Prior to the conquest of Westeros by Dragon King Aegon, the Iron Islands were an independent country ruled by the "Kings of the Iron Islands", also known as the "Iron Kings".

The inhabitants of the Iron Islands call themselves "Iron Seeds", the equivalent of the Nordic Vikings of the Middle Ages.

Due to the harsh natural conditions and barren land of the Iron Islands, they are not self-sufficient at all, so the Iron Breeders have always lived by plundering and taking pride in it, and they call this way of life "Ancient Road". Women in the Iron Islands can also raid and even captain ships just like men.

This kind of survival rule with a strong pirate color is most evident in the Greyjoy family's ethnic language, "strong wins better than hard work".

Overall, the ocean-worshipping Iron Islands practiced a primitive and brutal way of life, and like all maritime peoples, they had an extraordinary desire for freedom, which was the underlying reason for the frequent rebellions of the Iron Islands. Accustomed to seeing the vastness of the sea and the power of nature, Iron has a very poetic understanding of life and death.

The Iron People do have a deep understanding of life and death, just like now, Lynn's extremely brave army is blocked outside the west gate of Twin River City, and the fortress built by the Iron People soldiers with flesh and blood is piled up as high as a hill.

The corpses were piled up on top of each other, and the people at both ends stepped on the corpse pile and continued to swarm upwards.

The crossbowmen of the Tiger Ben Regiment continued to climb down the pile of corpses to the highest point, shooting indiscriminately at the dense Iron Folk soldiers below, and then quickly retreated,

The gap is too small, and there are too many people on both sides.

Spearmen and spearmen on both sides resisted the gap, and a stalemate formed on both sides.

This is still a relatively wide west gate of the Twin River City, and the collapse that was smashed by a trebuchet not far away, the battle was even more stalemate and tragic.

After the war was fought to this point, there were no tactics to speak of, and the two sides engaged in close combat with a determination to die in one breath.

Lynn had a larger army and better weapons, but the Iron Islanders were on the defensive, had a certain geographical advantage, and they had captured many of the inhabitants of Twin Cities, who had been driven to fill the gap with gravel and sandbags and build a defensive line.

However, Lynn's light cavalry came too quickly, and the sword and shield soldiers on the walls harassed the Iron Archers, and before they could carry more rubble, Victarion used them as a flesh and blood defense.

Most of the corpses blocked at the bottom of the gates and gaps were innocent civilians.

The stubbornness of the enemy surprised Lynn, there are few deserters in this world, and if there is, it is the general of the army who is the first to announce the retreat or surrender, and the soldiers have no right to take the initiative to raise the white flag, because this is detrimental to the glory, and even if they become prisoners, there is often no good end.

Therefore, the end of the battle is often very fierce.

Finally, a voice rang in the ears of Lynn, who was overseering the battle.

"Look, my lord, the sword and shield soldiers have taken the city wall!"

Lynn's expression was relieved, as long as he could completely control the city wall, it would be easy to do.

Rodat's command under the city walls could not crowd to the crossbowmen on the corpse hill at the city gate and shouted: "Crossbowmen and archers climb from the ladder to the wall, quick!"

As long as you occupy the city wall, the enemy is all piled together, as long as you can control the city wall, let your crossbowmen directly shoot the opponent's support from a high position.

Then the soldiers on the opposite side who are holding the gap will not be able to make up the defense smoothly.

The dawn of victory came, Lynn thought.

......

The Iron Knights and Infantry gathered behind the gates saw their leader, Victor Greyjoy, retreat from the walls.

Victor's herald was stabbed to death on the wall by a team of sword and shield soldiers in order to protect him.

He had to run down the city wall himself to deliver his orders.

Victor appeared in front of the soldiers and shouted angrily.

"Damn, why are you still stunned here? The cavalry all got off their horses and went to the wall. ”

The nearest squads heard Commander Viktarion's orders, and though they didn't understand why, they quickly ran up the stone staircase that snaked upward.

More people still gathered behind the friendly forces at the gates, affected by the roars ahead.

They could not hear anything but the miserable howls of their enemies or allies when they died, and they had no time to look forward to anything.

Victor Leone, escorted by his attendants, struggled to push away the Iron Folk soldiers crowded in the small space.

The soldiers were crowded together, and it was really difficult to move through the crowd.

He drew an old, long-handled two-handed sword and danced in a wide arc.

A stunned squad staring ahead, with focused eyes, had a dent in the breastplate of the squad that had been hit by a sword chisel, and the roar of Commander Victalion was heard in his ears, "Get out of the way, fuck it, get out of the way!"

Breaking again, the young Ironfolk squad leader was shocked to see Victalion rushing towards him.

He reacted, clumsily and awkwardly stepped aside.

In fact, the battle did not last long, and the losses of Victor's 1,000 soldiers were not very serious, and more than 200 people were killed in the battle, and now the corpses blocked the path of the massive influx of Lynn's army.

As a result, there are fewer and fewer people to sacrifice.

Victor Talion believes that there is no need for such infantry to crowd here at all.

One hundred and fifteen archers on the walls were being forced to engage Lynn's Tiger Regiment's sword and shield men.

If the walls are completely lost and attacked from front to back, his army will not be able to hold the gates, and that will be the real disaster.

Victarion knocked his men away with his shoulders and climbed onto a stone statue pedestal on the inside of the West Gate, at the central junction.

The head of the stone sculpture has been lost, and it is not clear which sage was previously carved into the stone sculpture and worshipped by the residents of Twin Rivers.

However, the stone pier is still intact, and it would be a good place to give orders or give speeches.

The soldiers in the back of his row could all look out to see Viktarion, who was a day taller than the ranks.

Victor looked down at the Iron Folk army below, quickly swept over the crowd, then raised his hand and pointed at the squad leaders of the surrounding infantry, and yelled at them, "Don't stop here, you all go to the city wall, damn it...... Don't you know how to look up?"

What city wall?

Why did the infantry go to the city walls, and would there still be an enemy army there?

Hearing the commander's shouts and orders, the Iron Folk soldiers subconsciously looked up at the city wall above.

On the city walls,

A sword and shield soldier stabbed one of the Iron Folk archers in the abdomen with a one-handed sword, and the cotton armor was completely pierced by the blade, and the abdomen quickly cracked open a bloody gap.

The archer's pupils dilated, and he dropped the bow and arrow in his hand, reaching out to try to pull out the sword that had pierced his spleen.

Boast!

The sword and shield soldier backhanded him again, and a shield slapped him in the face head-on.

The archer's eyes were full of stars, the corners of his mouth were covered with blood, and he staggered back a few steps, and his body collapsed against the battlements on the inner side of the wall.

Soon, the archer felt that the one-handed sword in his abdomen was quickly withdrawn, and he only felt a burst of collapse and weakness all over his body, and before he could sit down, he was kicked in the chest.

Like a kite with a broken string, he threw his head up at the battlements behind him and fell.

From the city wall dozens of meters high, it fell to the ground with a loud bang.

Corpses were constantly being smashed into the city on the walls, and all the Iron Folk soldiers understood what was going on without Viktarion's reminder.

There were enemy troops on the walls.

The panicked Iron Folk soldiers began to run up the stone staircase.

They were as fast as they could, but they were still a step too late.

The first group of Iron Infantry to support the city wall had just stepped on the road of the city wall.

Soon they spotted crossbow arrows that shimmered with a deadly glow, aimed at them.

The well-equipped crossbowmen of the Tiger Ben Regiment climbed up the city wall from the ladder one after another, and pronounced the death of the Iron People infantry who arrived one step late.
