A crossbow is a crossbow arrow.

The crossbow bolt has a fast rate of fire, high strength, easily penetrates the chain mail, and is also a great threat to plate armor at close range, it is easy to carry, and the soldier can use it with a little learning, and it is the best arrangement for Kreher to arrange for crossbowmen to snipe enemies who want to cross the large trench.

This defense plan is good.

But when a whole group of archers appeared on the cliff closer to the right, the crossbowers on the high wall became targets.

However, in the first volley, four soldiers fell from the high wall.

When the longbow and arrows of the iron whistle whistled again, Lile Krech, the strong pig, ordered the crossbowmen to remove the high wall.

Simon Tampton and Blackfish Brynden Tully took more than 300 brothers and more than 300 bags and threw them into the big trench, which became a shallow ditch, and only one more round of bags was needed to drop it, and the horses and infantry could easily pass through.

Lehrer gave the order, and the phalanx of infantry behind the wall was separated, and one of the captains of the Craich family, the hundred-man archers, came behind the wall, and the longbowmen threw them into the sky, covering the trench indiscriminately.

The Lannister longbowmen were behind high walls, and the archers on the cliffs on either side could not see them, and they were too far away to shoot. However, the archers on both sides of the cliff could not be removed, and once they were removed, the opposing crossbows would return to the high wall, and the trenches would be easily controlled by the crossbows again.

Simon Tampton ordered more than 300 soldiers to carry out a second round of trench filling.

"Ready!" Lear rode his horse and raised his sword beside the longbowman.

Hundreds of longbowmen draw their bows and arrows into the sky.

"Put!"

Hundreds of arrows burst through the air, hurled into the sky from behind the high wall, turned high and whistled downward, covering the trench indiscriminately.

However, Simon Tamperton and the soldiers were undaunted, and under the cover of a rain of arrows, they left the bodies of several brothers and a hundred bags of dirt.

In the second round of arrows, the Craich longbowmen adjusted the shooting angle according to the effect of the first round, and more than a dozen brothers were killed and more than twenty brothers were wounded. Simon's three hundred elite cavalry brothers were suddenly folded into one.

The trench was filled, and the men and horses could pass, but the advantage of the cavalry was still not brought into play, and there were still dense spikes that needed to break through and then tear down the high wall in order to engage the soldiers of the Craich family head-on.

Will said to Simon: "Pulling out the stakes in the front will kill and wound more people, and the assault plan is not advisable, so we have to think of other ways." ”

Blackfish Brynden smiled: "Lord Will, the stake formation will either be roundabout or fire. ”

"How to fire attack?"

Will looked at the pony carts loaded with arrows and spears that Daemon and his party had brought. Damon's cavalry, each with a spear, can be pierced or thrown, each with a bow and arrow, twenty-four arrows in the quiver, standard archer equipment. They were armed with long swords and short knives at their waists, daggers and steel spikes on their leggings.

It was the first time Will had seen such a well-equipped cavalry.

This shows that the knights and soldiers of Simon Tampton were all trained in swordsmanship, archery, horsemanship, hand-to-hand combat, and all the skills of cavalry, infantry and archery.

This gave Will the idea of building an all-round cavalry.

As long as it is on the plains, an all-round cavalry will be invincible.

Daemon Tampaton's Nine Star City Legion is known as the strongest, and it is not in vain.

After a while, Will saw what it was called a fire attack stake array.

Hundreds of black arrows filled with fire oil filled the spike array, and the spike array burned into flames. As soon as the fire was in full swing, the sharp pile array suddenly burned more and more, and the mountain wind helped the fire, and no one dared to put out the fire closely.

Will thought to himself, if the oil could burn the stake array, it should be under the stake array, and the kind of triangular iron thorns in the moat of King's Landing Red Keep Meggor Tower should be thrown all over it. Whether it is infantry or cavalry, as soon as you charge, the soles of your feet will be pierced. However, changing the triangle iron spike to a triangle iron nail is more hidden.

The horseshoe will also slip when it is stepped on the triangle spike. Well, if I'm in charge of an army, I'll have to have the blacksmith make hundreds, if not thousands, of bags of triangular nails for later use.

One of the great things about the triangle nail is that no matter how you drop it, there will always be a sharp corner facing the sky.

The Great War had not yet officially begun, and Will felt that he had thought more about the military details of the tens of thousands of troops fighting than in thirty years combined. The Great Wall of Desperation does not have a reserve of military weapons such as triangular nails. In the armory, there is not a single one.

Will didn't ask again how to tear down the wall, he had already thought of Simon Tampaton's way.

While the fire burned the Lannister Spire, Dai sent a hundred cavalry to shoot black oil rockets into the fire from time to time to help the fire, while the rest of the people, including Angai and Da Jili, who retreated from the cliffs on both sides, began to drink water and eat, inspect weapons, and feed the horses.

It's getting late.

By the time Will had eaten and drunk, it was completely dark, and Will liked to fight in the dark, which was no different from the day to him. In the Great Wall of Desperation, when patrolling, the night is passed as if it were day.

Will was ready to go out to fight, and Blackfish whispered in his ear, "Take a break, Lord Will, and rest for a while." ”

When the fire of the spike finally left only Mars, Will and the other three hundred people had already taken a nap.

Those who can take a nap before the big war are those who have been baptized with iron and blood. Noobs can't sleep, like Tyrion.

Tyrion was not grateful to Will for stopping Simon Tamperton's plan to take him hostage to charge, and he saw that Will was afraid that he would die so suddenly, and that in the chaos of this night battle, a stray arrow could kill Lord Tyrion's dog.

Tyrion remembered his conversation with someone that night in the dungeon of the Red Keep, and he knew that the places where Will wanted him to go without fear for his life were the Lake of God's Eye and the Thousand Faces Island, and the mountain that rose out of the plains in the Riverlands: the noble heart.

By the time Blackfish began to wake up the knights and soldiers one by one, Will was already on his horse, and beside him were Big Gilly and Gorilla Fangy Bolonangai, and Will could see that it was almost midnight when he glanced at the position of the moon in the sky.

"Remember our goal, capture Lord Craich, or bring his head back. Will said to a few people around him, "Follow me closely, and capture the thief first." "During the previous day's detective operation, they had already known the location of Craich's camp.

In the nap just now, Will's spirit wandered outside, just like the former Brynden River, the famous Blood Raven, before every big battle, he would possess all kinds of birds and beasts to investigate the enemy's situation and make sure that he knew himself and his enemy.

Will also checked with the ability of Green Vision, the Craich family is indeed wild boars, and there is no preparation for a night attack. If it was Will, he would inevitably guard against the other party's night attack. The crest of the wild boar of the Craich family was indeed not given by the gods.

The trenches were filled, the stakes were burned, and there was only one wall left, and Craich thought that a high wall, neither wide nor long, could hold back the attack of the Vale warriors? Or did he think that there were thousands of men outside, and an army of 30,000 outside of thousands, and that there were only 300 people here, and he did not dare to sneak attack?

"Night's watchman, just wait for you to follow my cavalry. Simon Tampton smiled at Will, "Your reconnaissance mission is complete, Roland Craich, Lile Craich, Tybert Cracher, Melon Cracher, they are all mine." ”
