Chapter 0451 - Spear Slaughter
Spears, special spears, spears at least twice as long as the Iron Min's weapons, lay in ambush on both sides of the narrow waterway, and the dense spears made the Iron Minkers fresh meat on the board.
The spear was provided by the Reed family, and it was Will who provided the plan and money.
Such a long spear requires special training, and Jon Snow and the two thousand strongest warriors of the North trained this spear for twenty days after arriving at their destination.
The key is not how to stab, but how to retract and release freely and advance and retreat in the queue.
If it is an open area, so the spear can only move forward, and it is difficult to turn, and in the case of cavalry, the cavalry only needs to detour to the rear and sides, and the spear team immediately becomes a fresh fish to be slaughtered.
The design of the spear, Will was taken from the Greek spearmen of his own world, he had read the story of Sparta, the spearmen of Sparta were the most effective pikemen, and the spears they used were twice as long as the ordinary spears of other legions.
Whether it is infantry or cavalry, as long as you face the pikemen head-on, there are only two ways, one way to collapse and flee, and the other way is to be poked to death by spears.
Jon Snow has made a feat that he can't even believe, and with a spear and a longbow and arrows, killing the invincible Iron Folk is like a high-level training.
Jon Snow blew the iron whistle, and the warriors of the North and the Zeddis jumped on the shell boats, and they pushed the corpses of the Iron People into the water, without worrying about the decay of the corpses and causing disease, because there were many poisonous insects and poisonous beasts in the waterways and reeds, and they would do a good job of cleaning up the food. Some of the corpses will also be swallowed by the swamp itself, invisible and invisible.
Led by the Zedi, the northern soldiers were divided into two routes, most of them rowing in shell boats, laughing and singing, and easily advancing through the waterway, and a small number of northern warriors followed the Zedians through the reeds to the only causeway through the swamp.
Whether it was a waterway or a dry road, everyone opened their throats and sang.
Some of them sang the most obscene song, "The Tavern Girl Bertha", which immediately aroused loud echoes and applause from the vulgar men.
But more of the Northerners sang the majestic "Iron Gun," an impassioned song of battle, and the men of the North loved it the most. The song was irrepressible as soon as it began, and almost all the brothers joined in, and the song fluttered across the night sky of Carlin Bay, causing the Legionnaires of Victalion and Ralph Ninken to panic as if they were caught in a siege.
Under the leadership of the Zedi people, everyone is indeed blatantly surrounding the iron seeds.
Even if the iron breeds knew, they could only watch, without the Zedi people leading the way, even if you could see the enemy not far away, you would not dare to rush into pursuit, maybe there was an unfathomable quicksand in front of you, maybe there were hundreds of lion lizards and countless poisonous snakes waiting for you in the reeds in front of you.
The Zedi people have a magical leaf flute that can easily drive away lion lizards and poisonous insects, and they also have a certain voodoo smeared on their bodies, even the poisonous snakes dare not come near them, but they can drive the poisonous snakes together.
In the gap between the end of the song of "Iron Gun", and the obscenity of the Zedi people was also vividly expressed, they sang the famous obscene song "The Queen Takes Off Her Shoes and the King Abandons the Crown", what is more exciting and joyful than singing how the king and the queen snap in bed, so soon, the northerners who sang "Iron Gun" also turned to giggle and sang "The queen takes off her skirt, the king picks up the pants".
In the matter of men and women, whether it is a king or a queen, they are all the same!
Even the serious Jon Snow snorted along.
And in the direction of Carlin Bay, there is also the song "The Last Giant" that the people of the outside of the Saiwai like to sing, although only a few warriors from the Great Wall of the North are singing this song, but it is no less than the voice of the hundreds, among which the tip of the fire kiss Ygritte is particularly loud, as if leading the singing:
Ahh
I don't have a companion.
The last giant, coming from the mountains,
We used to rule the world,
Ah, the Lilliputians steal the forests, they steal the mountains, they steal the rivers.
They built a great wall in the valley,
Catch all the fish in the streams,
They set fire in the stone hall,
Forge sharp spears.
And I'm alone in the mountains,
There are no companions, only tears.
Chased by dogs during the day,
There are also torches at night.
Just because if a giant exists in the sun,
The Lilliputians have trouble sleeping and eating.
Ahh
Please remember my songs.
Someday, I will be gone, and the song will fade away,
The silence lasts, for a long time.
This is a song that cannot hide the deep sorrow in the passion, and when the ironmen hear this song, it is as if they have heard their own elegy.
Ygritte taught Jon Snow to sing the song, which many of the Night's Watch veterans would sing.
With the singing, the torches from Carlin Bay were lit, and on the causeway, there was a neat procession, with spears in their hands and rumbling steps, and on both sides of the causeway, there were small hemp boats unique to the Zedi people, the reason why they were called small hemp boats was that the boats hung on the Zedi people drove away griffins and poisonous insects and poisonous snakes, and the name of this vine was called hemp.
There were also many warriors on the small hemp boats, and there were also many warriors in the reeds on both sides of the causeway, all of them armed with long spears, and the tips of the spears pointed to the sky, as dense as a forest.
On the other side, Jon Snow's fleet, which had completely wiped out the Second Legion of the Iron People, and the Northern knights and soldiers on land cut off the retreat of Victalion on the causeway and Ralph Ninken in the waterway without much effort.
Under the leadership of the Zedi people, everyone seemed to have magic, and they completed the encirclement of the iron seed after three rounds and two rounds.
Jon Snow's 1,100 men, 800 from the North and 300 from the Zeddi, cut off the Irons' retreat without attacking, singing songs to disturb them, while on the front of Carlin Bay, 1,200 Northern warriors plus 400 Zeddi, a total of 1,600 warriors, were unhurriedly pressing on Victalion and Raf Ninken.
The reason why Jon and Ygritte surrounded and oppressed slowly was to make the Iron People chaotic, and if they didn't, Jon would also make a gap in the encirclement, giving the Iron People a hope of escaping. It's just that if you want to escape the pursuit of the Zedi in the swamp that is a hundred miles wide, no enemy has succeeded in at least six thousand years since the Andals began.
With Jon Snow's iron whistle, the Northern warriors who jumped onto the causeway to block Victalion's retreat advanced with their spears raised, and only on the narrow causeway where six people could be side-by-side, the advantage of the spears was fully revealed, and several Iron Folk warriors who came to engage were only killed by the dense advancing spears in the blink of an eye.
On the reed waterway, the Zedins and the warriors of the North who marched side by side also began to advance step by step, their spears slaughtering the Iron People, and no matter how good the Iron People were, they could only swing their axes to cut off the shafts of a few spears, while more spears stabbed effortlessly, poking the enemy into a sieve in an instant.
When the warriors of Ygritte's waterways also met the iron men in close combat, and the iron lovers fell and wailed, the song of "Iron Spear" was once again roared by the men of the north in the fierce battle:
Iron Gun,
Iron Gun,
The merciless iron spear,
Pierce the enemy's chest,
Let the blood flow under your feet!
Iron Gun,
Iron Gun,
Invincible Iron Spear,
Sweep away the heads of the enemy,
Pierce their intestines!
Iron Gun,
Iron Gun,
The iron spear that sweeps everything,
Kill all the enemies who come to you!
Pour it full of wine,
Hang up the gun,
Listen to a song of strangers
Sadness!
Iron Gun,
Iron Gun!
