180 Absurd
Woooooooo
The trumpet of war sounded again, like the call of death.
The helmet's eye slits restricted his vision, and Duke Ed could only see straight ahead.
Arrows shot out from the city, rocks swirling overhead, smashing into the ground and soldiers, shattering steel and flesh.
Tianji City is ahead.
At the hand of the King, under the personal leadership of Duke Eddard Stark, a dense crowd of soldiers swarmed and set foot on this road covered with blood and fire.
The gray Icewolf battle flag fluttered in the wind, carrying pride and courage from the North, forward, and forward.
"For Winterfell!" Duke Eddard, who rushed to the base of the wall, shouted, and began to climb.
"For Winterfell!" Countless warriors from the north responded one after another, and followed in the footsteps of their feudal lords.
Bite!
Suddenly, an arrow hit the armor, barely missing the slit in his eye, and Duke Ed was taken aback and almost escaped.
But soon, he stabilized himself again and continued to ascend.
The screams of pain, the trembling battle horns, and the crackling of the flames were all so familiar.
The smell of war.
Duke Ed seems to have returned to the time when the war that took almost all of his loved ones and gave him countless honors.
That time, it was much more thrilling than now.
Even at the beginning of the war, he did not feel that he could win.
However, he won in the end.
The body is getting heavier and heavier, and the breath is getting more and more gasping.
It was really not a good idea to climb the walls himself as a battlefield commander, but he had to.
He had to let the warriors know that the Hand of the King was fighting with them, and only then could the morale of the army be reinvigorated.
While this also places himself under the enemy's arrows, it is a necessary risk.
Duke Ed knew he had to take a risk, or the army would be in danger of falling apart.
Keep climbing.
The ground was getting farther and farther away, the city was getting closer and closer, and the arrows rained down like a torrent of arrows, so that Duke Ed had to stop in mid-air and set up his shield with one hand. ,
While he attracted firepower, the rest of the fighters had a chance to rush upward.
Finally, when the Dornish began to pay attention to the other climbers, the pressure on Duke Ed suddenly decreased.
He rehung his shield behind him and continued to climb.
Rumble!
The entire wall seemed to shake a little.
Duke Ed knew it was a battering ram slamming against the door.
Hopefully they'll crash away this time.
He glanced down, but his narrow line of sight was almost entirely bloody, and he couldn't see it really.
Duke Ed gave up checking and continued to climb up without distraction.
Arrows struck him again, clanging across his armor.
Finally, an arrow pierced the junction between his breastplate and shoulder armor.
Duke Ed snorted, immediately snapped the arrow, removed the long part, and then ignored it and continued to climb.
The blood loss and pain made him a little dizzy.
The mouth was full of rust.
This feeling made him feel as if he had returned to the Tower of Bliss, back to the bloody bed.
His sister's face before she died shook in front of her eyes, and he didn't know what to do.
He forced his attention to return to the battlefield in front of him, but the unreal and the real were intertwined and could not be separated.
Ed, promise me, Ed.
The arrows whizzed by, but it was my sister's voice.
A northern nobleman beside him waved to him, but what he saw were the three white knights who guarded under the Tower of Bliss.
He will never forget their faces.
He killed them.
The head of Tianji City was already close in front of him, Duke Ed reached out to grab it, but it seemed to touch the winter snow rose garland, which was his sister's favorite, but there were spikes hidden between the garlands, and the wounds were cut on the skin, and the blood slowly flowed down his fingers.
"Lord Eddard!"
Earl Jon Amber grabbed Duke Eddard's arm and pulled him up to the city, exclaiming excitedly, "We're rushing up!" Hahahaha! We're rushing up!"
Yes, we're up!
Duke Ed finally smiled, and then he saw Earl Jon rush into the Dorn's array like an enraged black bear.
There were many more warriors below who climbed over the walls.
They are all warriors of the North.
Under the leadership of Duke Eddard, he finally reached the top of the city for the first time!
"The city is broken! The city is broken!"
The Northerners fought their way through the city and shouted loudly, trying to break the fighting spirit of the Dornish.
Duke Ed sat on the battlements for a while, and finally regained his breath, although one shoulder still hurt so much that he couldn't lift it, but the illusion in front of him was all gone.
"The city is broken!" He shouted loudly, and at the same time joined the fight with a long sword in one hand.
"Can't get on?"
Samwell asked, looking at the grain convoy passing under the dunes.
Count Jon Royce pondered for a moment, then slowly shook his head:
"I still think there's something wrong with this team. Most likely a bait. ”
Samwell rolled his eyes secretly, completely speechless at the "Bronze Jon" beside him.
This guy should be renamed "Gou St. John."
They had been with the convoy for two days, but the Earl of Jon had never made up his mind to attack.
"These people marched in an orderly manner, not at all like ordinary people, and it was very likely that they were pretended to be well-trained soldiers." The Earl of Jonne seemed to be worried about his image, so he explained.
"But they have no armor, no weapons, and only more than 300 people, and if we rush down, what will they do?"
"The cart could be carrying food, but it could also be shields and spears. All they have to do is line up the shield gun array around the cart and we're going to have a headache. Moreover, this place is so close to Tianji City that if we attract the cavalry in the city, we will even be bitten by the tail. ”
Samwell shrugged his shoulders and said no more.
If you don't fight, you won't fight, anyway, it won't affect him, and the convoy can't carry gold, so it doesn't matter if you fight him or not.
In this way, Samwell and his entourage "escorted" the grain convoy to Tianji City.
And just as the Earl of Jon was about to give up this attack completely, the south gate of Tianji City suddenly opened, and a group of people ran out of it.
"Sure enough, there was an ambush!" Count Jon's face changed and he immediately ordered a retreat.
But after running for a while, I found that those Dorns were not coming for themselves, but more likely.
Run away?
"I'm afraid something has happened in the sky and the city." Samwell said thoughtfully.
At the same time, a falcon was released and flew into the sky and above the city.
The Earl of Jon also sent a dozen horsemen to capture some prisoners for questioning.
Soon, the two received a startling news almost at the same time.
Tianji City has been breached!
Then, the Earl of Yorne, whom Samwell regarded as "Gou Sheng", immediately made a very bold suggestion:
"Let's rush into the city! You might even be able to catch the red viper!"
Samwell had little interest in the Red Viper, he was thinking about the vaults of the Fowler family in the city of Heaven and City.
The two have very different goals, but they hit it off.
"Good! Let's go into the city!"
Most of the northern walls of the city were already under the control of the Iron Throne's army, and the Dornish were retreating, and defeat was imminent.
In particular, the North City Gate, in the midst of all the attention, slowly opened.
At this time, after more than twenty days of bloody battles, Tianji City was finally stripped of all its defenses and displayed in front of the Iron Throne army like a girl who had no ability to resist.
When King Joffrey heard the news, he immediately swept away his sorrow and became overjoyed and complacent.
The Duke of Metz took the opportunity to compliment:
"Your Majesty is wise and martial, it's a miracle that the Dornish can hold out for so long, but in the end, they still have to surrender to your feet."
His Majesty Joffrey, who is wise and martial, is concave and thinking about what to say at this moment, so that the bachelor can record it and pass it on through the ages.
Before he could utter any golden words, he saw a messenger of Dorne brought up.
"Your Majesty!" The Dornes prostrate on the ground, "We are willing to surrender!"
Joffrey followed his mother's example and looked at people with his chin: "The Red Viper is willing to surrender?" ”
"Yes, Your Majesty. The prince is willing to submit to you, and only asks you to give him a decent respect, so that his men can stop attacking, so that the prince can go out of the city and surrender. ”
"Good!" Joffrey waved his hand, imagining the scene of the red viper kneeling in front of him, and suddenly became more and more fluttering. ”
So next, the king of Longyan Dayue issued an outrageous order.
When he heard the horn of withdrawal from outside the city, even Prince Oberon, the "Red Viper", could not believe his ears.
It was just a ruse that he sent an envoy to surrender, and seeing that the city was about to be destroyed, he knew that the sky and the city could no longer be defended, so he thought of surrendering to the other side to stop the attack temporarily, so that he could organize the army to evacuate and escape.
In fact, Prince Oberon didn't even think that the other side would agree, but just sent a messenger with the attitude of giving it a try.
However, he didn't expect that the other side not only agreed, but also gave him a bigger surprise!
What is a surprise.
It's just that when you just want to cheat a little money, the other side directly unloads your head and hands it over to you.
How could there be such a stupid person in this world?
Even if you never use your brain, you can't just take it off and give it away.
"The king said, let yourself lead the nobles of Dorne out of the city and surrender. He...... He spared you from dying" When the messenger came back to report, the expression on his face was extremely wonderful.
If he hadn't heard the clarion call for withdrawal, Prince Oberon would have thought it was a trick of the enemy.
But at this time, he hesitated about something.
"Quick! Reoccupy the walls! Close the gates!"
The wounded Duke Eddard was being bandaged in the camp at this time, and did not pay attention to this outrageous order.
In fact, in his opinion, this battle is basically over, and the next thing is that the army will enter the city to clean up the battlefield and clean up the remnants of resistance, which can be done even if it is handed over to a dog.
But by chance, he met Joffrey, the "Emperor of the Ages".
"Your Majesty! Why give the order to withdraw troops!" The nobles surrounded the king and protested against the order.
"Count Matus, the Red Viper has surrendered, of course I have to give him a little decency."
Count Matus Rowan was so angry that his face turned pale: "Do you believe the words of the red viper?" That's a guy who smeared poison on his weapon, what honor is there! What is the difference between saying words and farting! You actually believe his promise!"
"Your Majesty! Please re-order the attack, or it will be too late!"
"Your Majesty! Even if you want the Dorns to surrender, you can't withdraw your troops, at most suspend the attack!"
"Your Majesty..."
"Enough!" Joffrey became more and more impatient, "You guys are making such a fuss, even if the Dornes don't come out, it's a big deal that we'll attack again." ”
Hearing this, the nobles went crazy.
Attack again?
How much does that cost?
All the soldiers who died before died in vain?
How can there be such a king?
In a fit of rage, the Count of Matus simply left the king and went to the herald himself to re-order the attack, but by this time, it was too late.
Thus, the most absurd and outrageous scene of this war was staged.
The soldiers who had already attacked the city were dizzy and descended to the city wall after hearing the call to withdraw, and they were a little confused.
Joffrey was still outside the city triumphantly waiting for Prince Oberon to lead his men to surrender, but at this moment, the north gate of Tianji City slammed shut.
Like a loud slap in the face of the young king.
