Although the deep forest fort is wooden, it is not afraid of fire. The wooden walls are sandwiched with icy frozen soil and covered with moss that has grown for an unknown number of years, making it difficult for the fire to spread even if it is barely lit.

Of course, these troubles ...... Not worth mentioning in the face of wildfire.

However, although he brought a few pots of wildfire from Houguan Town, Egger did not plan to use fire to destroy the enemy completely, and there was no need to mention it when his troops were ten times that of the enemy, if he traveled hundreds of miles to the depths of the wolf forest, but recaptured a ruin that had been reduced to ashes for the people of the north, it was difficult to say whether he would be grateful or complain.

He ordered the watchtowers to be set on fire, both to create fear and confusion among the enemy and to panic them, and to bluff the darkness of the enemy when they stood in the light of the fire and looked out of the Deepcastle, making it impossible to tell how many people were coming.

Although this wooden castle is not very strong, siege battles have always been dominated by the defenders. What's more, neither the savages nor the mountain clansmen are good at ...... Perhaps it should be said that the city will not be attacked at all, and if you are not familiar with the internal conditions of Shenlin Fort, you may suffer heavy casualties if you rashly attack it.

Iger hopes to force the enemy out into the field, using the terrain and traps to end the battle.

Watching the wooden tower quickly ignite with the help of a jar of wildfire, becoming a beacon in the darkness, the night watchman knew that the time had come.

"Let's get started. ”

"Yes. ”

Orders were swiftly handed down to the most junior officers. So, in the dark wolf forest outside the deep forest of the deep forest fort, thousands of bright spots suddenly appeared, accompanied by the sound of continuous horns, Iger borrowed all the horns and torches that Amber's house could find from the last fireplace city, far more than the actual number was needed, and he tried to make the enemy in the deep forest fort have the illusion of "the main army of the north is coming" through a series of camouflage and deception.

＊＊＊

When the muffled battle horn whistling in the mountains and the tsunami-like shouts of "Long live Winterfell" swept in from all directions, the psychological warfare goals of the besiegers were easily achieved.

Asha looked at the indescribable torches outside the city wall, and understood that there was no chance of winning this battle: "Crow's mouth, go and call everyone up and gather in the outer court!"

No one could sleep in such a situation, and the outer court of the Deep-Limburg was soon filled with panicked people, and the Iron Men who followed Asha gathered in front of their queen.

"Do you put out the fire first, or do you prepare for battle?"

"Save your mother's fire!" Asha spat at the man who asked the stupid question, then climbed onto the barrel so that everyone could see her, "The wolf cubs are grinning at us, intent on taking the lives of the Iron People. Are we going to throw off our armor and pray for mercy?"

"No!" the first warrior drew his sword. "Nope. Soon someone chimed in. "Never!" quickly echoed everyone.

Satisfied with the fighting spirit of her subordinates, Asha waved the short axe in her hand: "Even if we can't escape death, we will shout and curse, and fight to death with blades and tomahawks in our hands!"

"That's right!"

"Go to the walls!"

The remaining ironmen climbed the walls in formation, and soon found that the enemy was not blindly attacking, but slowly approaching the castle with torches in an unruly roar, as if to build an encirclement. Through the dense foliage, it is impossible to see how many people are coming, but at least a few thousand...... Except for the main force of the North breaking through Kalin Bay and returning, no family can gather such a force.

The iron people were full of fighting spirit and prepared for a battle to the death, but when they climbed the city wall and found that the enemy did not intend to give a good time, their blood suddenly cooled a little, and they chattered: "They plan to surround the deep forest fort!"

"There's a ram outside the north gate!"

"The wooden gate can't stop the attack, once they rush in...... We can't deal with so many people. ”

"You can take advantage of the terrain inside the castle to persist in the fight. ”

"The terrain in the castle?" scolded the man who spoke first, "You pig brain, the young wolf lord will definitely let the people of the Glover family rush to the front, in terms of understanding the terrain of the deep forest castle, can you still have more than them!"

"We can hide in a fortress on top of a hill. ”

"And then be burned to death by a fire? if they can set the watchtower on fire, they can set the whole of Deepwoodburg on fire!" The other turned to Asha: "My Queen, the sea is five miles away, and we are going to hold on to this useless wooden castle here? If we are burned to death by fire with our dry feet, we will not even find our way to the palace of the drowning gods!"

The third person responded: "That's right, we are iron people, even if we die, we should step on the sea water and wet our feet, listen to the sound of the waves behind us and die!"

"Captain, there is no enemy outside the south gate for the time being, we can break through from there!"

......

There were no enemies outside the South Gate, and Asha didn't believe that if Robb Stark had half the legendary good use of troops, she would have divided her forces to sweep the coastline, burn the longship, or at least arrange for interceptors to stop her from boarding in every possible retreat.

Asha understands that holding on is a dead end, and there are likely to be traps waiting for her to break through. But the last man's words strengthened her thoughts—she really wanted to live, but if today was her own death, she hoped she would at least die with her feet wet: "Well said, I've changed my mind and return the gloomy forest and this damn wooden urinal to the wolf cub, we don't guard the walls." Break through and withdraw to the ship!"

......

The trumpeter blew three consecutive short notes, signaling the retreat of the ship, and the people of the ramparts poured down the stairs to gather into the courtyard, preparing for a breakthrough in a flurry of chickens and dogs...... No one was surprised by this unreasonable situation, and it was possible that they had noticed, but they had no time to think: the shouts of "Long live Winterfell" outside the walls had been ringing for a long time, but no one had climbed the undefended walls.

There weren't enough horses, someone had to walk, and of course, none of those people was Asha Greyjoy, who climbed into her chestnut mare and shouted to her subordinates: "Open the south gate!"

At the same moment when the south gate was wide open, a loud sound of a hammer hitting the wooden door was heard from the direction of the north gate. Asha pulled a short-handled throwing axe from her shoulder strap, sat on her horse and yelled at her brothers: "It is impossible to abscond, brothers, fight your way out!

"Go home!"

"Long live Asha!"

The road outside the south gate was empty, which increased the suspicion in her heart, but no matter what awaited her in front of her, the worst result was death, and she clamped the horse's belly with her legs: "Let's go!"

The men and horses rushed through the clearings and fields at the gates of the city, and by the time they reached the forest on the opposite side, they were already in a mess. Under the moonlight, the crops she had trampled during the siege were now muddy because no one took care of them. Asha arranged for the riders to go to the front and the rear of the hall respectively, urging the lone ones to continue and ensure that no one was left behind. Surrounded by tall pines and tumorous old oak trees, the deep forest castle lives up to its name, these trees are tall and gloomy, and the density is a little intimidating. The branches of the trees overlapped, swaying and creaking in the wind, and the treetops in the heights seemed to be able to reach the moon.

The sooner you get rid of it, the better, Asha thought urgently, this is the territory of the Yankees, and even the trees seem to hate us in their hearts. There seemed to be a pair of eyes on the bark around her, staring at her back with chills.

The rider who was scouting the road ahead quickly reported that there was a human trail in front of the road, most likely an ambush.

"Get off the road and head west. This was expected by Asha, and she thought about it for a while, and then had an idea: "The wolf cubs must have thought that we would go north to the nearest beach, and I bet that as long as we go north, there will be an ambush waiting for us." But as long as we resist the urge to flee back to the ship......"

Soon someone understood her thoughts: "Don't take the ready-made road, pick a random direction, if even we don't know where we will go, the wolf cubs will never be able to stop us!"
