After Severed Palm Colin led his team away, the remaining 200 or so cavalry of the Shadow Tower threw themselves into the construction of trebuchets.

The savage army is still in the upper reaches of the Ruhe River, and it advances no more than five miles a day. Will's cavalry, on the other hand, advanced more than a hundred miles a day. The Night's Watch Legion preempted the Savage Army, setting up a formation of traps and antler spikes at the best places to cross the Ruhe River, and sprinkled triangular iron nails at the most convenient points for crossing the river.

Everything was going on in an orderly manner under Will's plan.

It is very dangerous to cross the river in the steep and rocky terrain of the savage army, and they have too many cattle, sheep, old people and children to take care of.

And on the way to go, Will first laid out many traps.

*

In the forest on the other side of the Ruhe River.

Ygritte galloped on her horse, and Aurel was killed by the Night's Watch while possessing the Eagle, and she had to tell Jingle Bell about it as soon as possible.

The clank-shirted cavalry dispersed, searching for tombs along the way.

Mance Rader gave Jingle Shirt the task of digging up the tomb and finding the horn of winter of Joman, the savage king thousands of years ago.

When several horsemen saw Ygritte returning, they all whistled ambiguously.

Ygritte is recognized as a great beauty among the wildlings, and her red hair is the biggest sign. Among the savages, Ygritte's facial features are also very delicate and rare. Her spear projection and archery skills are so powerful that no sturdy freefolk warrior dares to underestimate her.

Ygritte was accustomed to the teasing of her comrades, and no one dared to force her if she did not want to, unless you were willing to pay the price of your life.

A woman who has been raped has the right to kill a man while he is asleep, without having to be judged by the chief.

In the freedmen, everything is free. Jingle Shirt can lead Ygritte, but it has no power over Ygritte. There is no such situation where a leader can use his power to rape his subordinates, there is no equality between men and women, and there is no difference between illegitimate children and the main family, as long as it is life, they are all equal.

When men and women grow up, they are in love and can steal from each other, provided that they are happy with each other. The consequences of rape are often not joy, but death.

In spite of her beauty, no one among the freedmen dared to rape her against her will, which would be tantamount to suicide.

Amid the foul language of her fellow cavalry comrades, Ygritte found the Clankler.

"Aurel is dead!" said Ygritte, bluntly. That's her style.

Jingle Shirt had more brains than the Weeper: "Are you sure?" he didn't want to believe. Oryll is the alien whom the Savage King Mance Rader relies on the most, and he needs Oryll's eagle to scout the enemy.

"His eagle was killed by a crow, and he himself failed to escape from the eagle's body before he died. ”

"He's become an idiot?" Jingle Shirt's voice changed.

"His features were dripping blood, his hands and feet were spasmodic, he couldn't even stand, and I slit his throat. Ygritte said.

"In the crow, when did there be such a powerful archery master. Jingle Bell said.

"Yes, the man's archery is above mine. ”

"Above all of us. Jingle Bell said.

The freedfolk archers, the best marksmen, could not shoot down Aurel's eagle. Oriel's Mountain Eagle is considered invincible among the Free People!

"What did Aurel say before he died?" Before the battle began, they folded the most prestigious Orreel. The six-shaped Wagmir is the first in personal combat power, but when it comes to scouting, no one can surpass Oriel's Mountain Eagle. On top of controlling the Mt. Syrne Eagles, Orill is number one.

"The raven is building trebuchets. ”

"Trebuchet?"

"Yes, trebuchets for siege. ”

"Are you sure?"

Most of the wildlings had never heard of trebuchets, let alone seen them. Only leaders like Orel, Jingle Shirt, and Weeper who have been fighting the Night's Watch for years know about trebuchets. On the Great Wall of Desperation, trebuchets are small and hardly used, but they can still be seen. Aurel and Jingle Weepers, wild men who have climbed the Great Wall and plundered many times to the south.

They were more well-informed than other freemen.

"I heard it very clearly, Aurelle himself. ”

"Night's Watch building trebuchet?"

"Throwing stones on our heads, of course. ”

Jingle Shirt's face under the giant's skull was invisible, but the confident look in his eyes changed.

He didn't know how powerful the trebuchet was. But he understood the consequences of the stone projection in an army of savages. The savage army, he knew that there were nearly 100,000 people, but all the real warriors were gathered and there were not even 10,000 people. This is the truest data. Warriors can maneuver, but how can the rest of the 90,000 old men, children, and women, herds of cattle and sheep driven in the ranks?

As long as you want to cross the river, that's the target.

"How many crows are there?"

"A thousand cavalry, followed by three hundred cavalry transporting supplies, and hundreds of pack horses. ”

The faces of the guards around Jingle Shirt all changed.

The cavalry of the freedmen was all concentrated, but only five hundred. In the previous battles with the ravens, the cavalry of the freedmen appeared at a time, and there were very few twelve horsemen. In the same way, the cavalry of the ravens did not exceed fifty at one time.

And now the cavalry of the crows suddenly appeared a thousand horsemen.

Southerners are not short of horses, but they need money to buy them.

How could a crow come up with so much money to buy horses all at once?!

The crow's sudden strength is like a mythical story, so much that Jingle Shirt doesn't want to believe it.

There are rumors among the savage tribes about the rise of the crows, but who would believe it? It's like the southern aristocracy, no matter what, who will believe the strange ghosts? no one will believe it, and those who tell the truth are often regarded as fools or people with other intentions.

"Sneak across the river at night and raid the crow camp. "Jingle Shirt made a decision.

"The Weepers are also prepared for a surprise attack, but in case the Ravens send out scouts, they will find the Weepers hiding in the forest. ”

"Then we'll let the crow's scouts come and go, brothers, don't look for graves, assemble. Jingle gave the order.

Five hundred cavalry attacked the sleeping crow at night, and it was pure slaughter.

Moreover, it was the crows' horses that attracted the jingle shirts and weepers to make the decision to attack at night.

*

At dusk, an iron whistle sounded in the Ghost Forest, and an iron whistle sounded by the Ruhe River.

The weeping man lying behind the rocks on the opposite bank and his guards watched as the ravens on the other side of the river called it a day and returned to camp. And above the weeper's head, a huge forest bird flew by.

*

Will's tent.

"Weepers and Jingle Bells are coming tonight. "They don't come on horseback, the frozen ice can't hold the weight of their horses." ”

Chief Ranger Sauron said, "Lord Will, how do you know, you didn't send scouts. At the top of the Ancestral Fist Peak, Jon Jon did not issue a police call. ”

Blake the Faceless had a calm face, but there was a glint in his eyes.

Will's ability to reconnoiter the enemy's situation, he doesn't have it at all.

Will didn't answer Sauron's question: "Tonight, the entrance and exit of the camp, remove the arrangement of the triangular nails, so that the sneak attackers can enter our camp. Whoever catches the Clankler and the Weeper will be knighted as the Lord of Dragonstone, and if the knight catches the Clanker and the Weeper, the bounty will be one hundred dragons. ”
