Chapter 1027: Battle of Fireplace City
Daenerys Targaryen's dragon swept through Winterfell, giving the 120,000-strong army immense confidence.
Three dragons, wings spread, almost obscuring the sky of Winterfell.
The three giant dragons really grew up, and the wings spread out were three times the length of the body, and the black dragon's wings spread out to reach a wing width of more than five hundred meters, which was staggering. And the smallest red dragon, Viserys, also reached a width of three hundred meters with its wings spread, and his body, from head to tail, was one hundred meters long.
It has long been rumored that the dragon's wings spread out to block out the sunlight of the town, a story that was told in legends a hundred years ago has finally made everyone see it for the first time in Winterfell and have an unforgettable experience.
*
That night, Daenerys, Jiujian, and Little Will rode three dragons together: the black dragon Drogon, the green dragon Raygo, and the red dragon Viserys.
The dragon flew towards the Narrow Sea, flew over the Narrow Sea, and then turned north, flying forward across the Narrow Sea.
No matter how powerful the Night King and his Frost Wife were, they could not have imagined that the dragon would be heading north on the other side of the Narrow Sea.
Watching the three dragons disappear into the night sky, Will couldn't calm down for a long time.
The son is not yet ten years old, but he needs to destroy the altar of the cold god with his own hands. The wraiths and ghouls among them won't be a match for the three-headed dragon, but Will is still worried.
The only risk is that the Night King senses that the dragon is heading north across the sea, and as long as the Night King rushes back, then the three-headed dragon and Jiujian, Daenerys, and Little Will will all be in danger.
In order to attract the Night King south, the farther away from the Desperate Wall is the better, and taking the initiative to provoke is the best strategy. On Will's shoulder, stood two small dragons, one golden and one silver.
Daenerys left behind the little silver dragon.
The little golden dragon and the little silver dragon were hatched from two dragon eggs that Will and Arya found in the Summer Hall, and Will gave Daenerys one to knot his heart, and gave her all three dragons he had taken back from Aegon. And Will is close to the dragon that has grown up, and if the dragon is a dragon, Will will become ashes.
Historically, among the Targaryen family, many Targaryens who did not have the ability to be immune to fire died in the process of dragon training. Dragons are very proud creatures, and if they turn their faces, they will worry about their lives. Only by raising the dragon when it is not yet able to breathe fire can it be the best, safest and most loyal to the owner.
To make the dragon who has grown into a teenager recognize the Lord, the person who can save his life is the one who has the ability to resist fire. Daenerys is the only one who is immune to fire.
The little silver dragon and the little golden dragon are both the two dragons that Will fed them from the time they couldn't breathe fire, and they are also the two dragons that Will hatched with the help of Daenerys's fire, and he and Daenerys have one each, which is actually very fair.
After the three dragons carried the three men away in the night, Will and his party returned to the main fort.
Lady Catelyn and the family of Winterfell have headed south, and a team of 100 escorts her, Jenny, and the others, aiming for Riverrun in the Riverlands.
"I decided to go to Hearthtown and lure the Night King south. Will said.
Jaime smiled, "I still want to live a good life in two days, and you are in such a hurry to fight again?"
"We haven't officially fought the Alien Ghouls. Heiya smiled, "I ran a few laps back and forth, and I was ashamed that I didn't participate in the official battle." ”
"Don't be ashamed, ghouls and strangers have you to kill. Jaime touched his nose.
"Heiya, go and give the order, early tomorrow morning, all the Prime Minister's Guards are there, go to Fireplace City. ”
'Yes, my lord. “
*
Fireplace City.
The stone-throwing secrets are densely arranged under the city wall, and outside the fire oil ditch, there is a spiky array of wooden piles.
Behind the stake formation, there are melee infantry.
Behind the infantry were the ramparts, which were densely packed with archers.
There was no cavalry: both heavy cavalry and light cavalry. All the horses are in the stables.
An elite knight legion of 500 people, guarding tens of thousands of war horses.
If the gates were breached, the warriors would flee with the help of their horses.
The Wraiths have a small number of horses, but the ghouls are infantry, and no matter how fast they are, they can't be faster than the horses.
Only by ensuring that the war horse is not damaged can the retreat be smooth.
In the distance, the roars of ghouls and strangers were approaching, and with the cold wind howling, the army arrayed under and on the walls, and it was another brutal battle, and the leaders were ready to retreat. In this battle, Robb arranged an ultimate finishing plan to wreak havoc on the Night King's army of ghouls.
The Battle of Castle Black, because Aegon Targaryen and Robb Stark had a very good plan beforehand, all the major generals retreated: Arya who intercepted the army of strangers in Mole Village, Gilly in Castle Black, young Carter Pike, giant Margo and his few companion warriors, Tyron Ash, leader of the Ash Legion, Savage King Mance Red, Kotou Harri, who is pregnant and about to give birth, Arrow, Angel, Jon and now Aegon Targaryen, Robb Stark, General Wooden Shield, Severed Palm Colin, Drogo, the High Priest of the Red God, all the main generals, all retreated.
Robb was the commander-in-chief, and Aegon and Mance Red were his lieutenants, resolutely carrying out his orders, and the team completed the task of sniping the Night King, and when the Night King himself appeared, the army could not resist and began to retreat.
This run did not stop, and after running five hundred miles of snowy roads in a row, with the help of all the wagons, ox carts, and war horses, fifteen thousand warriors came to the city of the hearth.
The City of Hearths has amassed more than two thousand warriors.
After the fall of the Great Wall, Robb felt that the biggest loss was not the Great Wall, but the knives, guns and arrows made of obsidian. Obsidian spears, you only need to make an obsidian spear head. The size of the obsidian swords is smaller than that of the real sword, but the sharpness is not inferior at all.
Seventeen thousand soldiers were stationed in Hearth, and the commander-in-chief was Robb Stark.
Robb Stark was not at ease on the walls, and Hearthcity decided not to use wildfire materials, nor the pyromancers' wildfire bombs and flamethrowers, which were to be used in Winterfell to give the strangers and ghouls a head-on attack.
Winterfell, home of Robb Stark, who wants to end the war in Winterfell, not Carlin Bay.
To this end, he decided to use all of his wildfire material in Winterfell.
As a result, Fireplace City will not have wildfire attacks on strangers and ghouls, only fire oil.
It is very close to the Wolf Forest Mountain Range, and dozens of miles to the left is the snow-capped mountain range, which is also the home of the Mudun tribe and the ash tribe. There is a substance in the Wolf Forest Mountains that emerges from the ground all year round: fire oil.
So, in Fireplace City, there is no wildfire, but there is a lot of fire oil.
So, Robb ordered the army to dig three firing oil ditches outside the Hearthplace City before the arrival of the strange army, and filled them with firing oil.
*
The wind was howling and the snow was falling.
The soldiers under the walls raised their shields one after another and hid themselves under them.
It was daytime, but it seemed to be dusk when night was approaching, and in the sky, gray clouds were pressed down, slowly approaching the Great Wall.
The wind and snow became more and more urgent, and the head-on blow made it impossible to open people's eyes, and in the wind and snow, there were many dark shadows, and the army of strange ghosts began to appear. As if in an instant, countless ghouls appeared in front of the wind and snow, and they rushed forward, ignoring any obstacles.
Puff puff!
Countless ghouls crashed into the spikes of the stake.
A spike array several meters wide blocked the wind-like ghouls.
Countless ghouls pierced the stakes, and more ghouls crashed into them, only to be firmly blocked by the dense stakes.
"Steady!" Robb ordered.
So, the sound of the horn sounded, and the steady shouts were passed on one by one, layer by layer.
Under the city walls, the Ash Legion is led by Tyron Ash, all of them are in black armor and black helmets, and Tylen Ash's shield and greatsword have been revealed, ready for battle. Tyron is in the center, the main force of the combat battle, next to the giant Marg leading a group of more than 100 giants, mammoths and large wooden clubs are ready, just waiting for the ghouls to rush in and sweep, on the other side, the wooden shield general is leading the warriors of the wooden shield tribe, then the severed palm Colin is leading the night watchman, next to it is Mance Rader leading the free people, and Aegon Targaryen is leading the noble coalition.
Behind the three firing ditches, these legions were all elite infantry in dogfight, without a single cavalry or infantry warrior.
Robb stood under the walls, flanked by Arya, Big Gilly, Carter Pike, and Jon. Drogo and his two thousand five hundred Flame Hand warriors were resting, and they were in charge of the army's retreat. After the battle of Castle Black, they also bore it, and after paying for the lives of 500 people, they allowed 15,000 people to evacuate.
Robb still arranged Drogo and his Flame Hand Legion as the Broken Queen. They don't need to participate in any big war, let them eat and drink well, rest well, and when the war is over, the last thing that needs to stop the strangers and ghouls is this army that can urge the flames to burn everything.
*
The ghouls kept advancing, kept getting stuck in the spikes, kept being pierced on them, but the ghouls behind didn't stop.
Finally, seeing that the central stake array was about to be crushed by the corpse of the ghouls, Robb gave the order to light the fire oil ditch.
Woooooooo
The trumpet sounded, low, solemn, depressing.
So, the three hundred-man teams that had been waiting in the fire oil ditch lit the fire oil at the same time.
Click!
The wood of the spike array was crushed, and the ghouls, having paid a heavy price, piled down a pile of stakes in numbers, and the ghouls trampled on the ghouls' bodies and pounced on them.
The oil burned quickly, but not as violently as wildfires, and the oil ditches were very long, and in some places, the flames had not yet burned.
The ghouls poured out of the mouth of the breaching stake like insects that exploded their nests, and the locusts scattered in all directions, running wildly down the flaming oil ditch in search of a place without flames where they could jump over the oil ditch.
Before the flames of the oil were completely closed, the ghouls rushed through the first ditch and were blocked out of the second, while the third ditch also burned and formed a circle, completely blocking the ghouls.
The ghouls didn't stop, and when the ground rushed and couldn't find the entrance, the ghouls behind continued to flow, and countless ghouls fell into the oil ditch, making the fire burn even more violently.
Ghouls are flammable, just as flammable as oil, so what ghouls are most afraid of is fire.
But there were too many ghouls in the back, and the dense ghouls swept towards the front like a violent wind, squeezing the ghouls in the front into the oil and making a fuel.
Soon, the ghoul with the fire crossed the first oil ditch and entered the second oil ditch, running very fast, and after entering the third oil ditch, his humanoid candle finally fell down, and he could no longer run.
Robb's three fire oil ditches have planned the distance and time for the ghouls to charge desperately, no matter how strong the ghouls are, at most they will rush to the third fire oil ditch, and then complete the feat of turning into ashes.
The blazing oil and the draugr rushing in like moths to a fire.
Even if you know it's death, you won't stop.
The roar of ghouls rang out over Fireplace, Robb's command was very effective, and the tactics were amazingly successful, and with the defenders not losing a single soldier, the ghoul army had already lost a fifth, and it was still in the midst of continuous losses.
Behind the three firing oil ditches are the most elite, ready for battle, the Free Folk Legion, the Ash Legion, the Wooden Shield Legion, the Night's Watch Legion, the Northern Legion, and the Coalition Legion.
*
The wind and snow slowly slowed down, and the ghouls' attacks began to slow down, until finally, in front of the three fire oil ditches, were neatly arranged ghouls.
The fire was burning, and the ghouls no longer jumped to help burn.
In the misty wind and snow, strange ghosts appeared on horseback.
Dozens of strange ghosts, surrounded by a Night King and a stunning ice crystal woman.
The ghouls parted on both sides, and the wraiths came slowly on horseback.
The Night King stopped in front of the first ditch of fire and oil, and the stunning woman beside him drew a long sword, this sword was different from all the Strange Ghost Swords, the Strange Ghost Sword was a translucent frost color, but this sword was completely transparent, like a pure ice crystal.
The stunning ice crystal woman threw the sword in her hand into the burning oil ditch, and the flames decreased at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in the end, the flames about ten meters wide were completely extinguished.
The ice sword was spotted in the oil, and a strange ghost jumped off his horse, took the sword, and handed it to the ice crystal woman.
The woman took the sword, rode her horse, and walked through the first fire oil ditch, this time, the ice sword was thrown into the fire oil ditch again, and the flames were extinguished again at a speed visible to the naked eye, and a flame gap about five meters wide appeared.
One of the strangers picked up the transparent sword again and put it in the woman's hand.
The woman faced the third oil ditch, but did not step forward, but retreated, retreating in front of the first oil ditch.
Robb Stark felt a pity to himself, and if the woman went any further, he would order the archers to fire a volley of arrows and shoot the woman to death in front of the third ditch.
The Obsidian Arrow is the nemesis of the Night King and the Woman.
Angel was not in the center, and if it was, the woman would probably have been shot.
The woman stepped back, but the Night King didn't step forward, he drew his ice spear, his ice-blue eyes piercing through the blazing third oil gully and staring at the mountain-like Tyron Ash.
The Night King is on his horse, shooting his ice spear straight to Tyron Ash!
