Chapter 128
The quiet afternoon in Lannisport was shattered by bursts of sharp and frightening bells, so that the wealthy businessmen in the western region almost missed the exquisite gold-plated wine glasses in their hands, and a few drops of expensive red wine spilled on their gorgeous clothes. superior.
"what happened?!"
Steve Lannister, as the Lannister family's guardian at the family's most important port, was awakened by the sudden sound of the alarm bell.
In the dream just now, he saw himself deep in the vicinity of Riverrun City, but the problem is that there is no longer the siege army of his family, and what is left is the broken limbs all over the ground. The Lannister family is proud The roaring lion was trampled into the bloody mud by the horses.
He didn't believe what he just saw at all, how could it be possible?His good nephew, James, has already completely destroyed the land of the river. With the thousands of people in Riverrun, how much water can they make?
I don't know if the old trout is still alive. The white trout is probably going to dry up and die on land.
Suddenly awakened by the sound of the bell, this 50-year-old offshoot of the Lannister family had no idea what was going on at this time, and he recognized the meaning of the ring:
There are enemies attacking Lannisport!
But the problem is here, where is the enemy?The little wolf cub in the north, with his army, is facing off against Stevie Lannister's cousin, Duke Tywin. How could it be possible that the divine soldiers descended on Lannisport?
No matter how you think about it, this is impossible. Is it true that the towering mountains in the western region and the impregnable Golden Tooth City fortress are just a display?
Besides, Jaime Lannister's army of 1 men couldn't possibly let them in.
So what's the situation?Excluding the possibility of the northern border, the only thing left is the Tyrell family in the south, and the ironmen who smell like fish.
Not to mention that the Tyrell family should be spending all their energy on their good king Renly Baratheon at this time. Even if they are crazy and attack the West, the Crake Hall in the south will kill them. Deadly blocked at the border of the western border.
As for the soft bastards of the Tyrell family soaked in wine, how dare they provoke the mighty Lannister family?
As if suddenly realizing it, this Lannister, who was deeply in a dream, finally realized that it was the bandits from the Iron Islands, driving their longship, and came to attack Lannisport, which meant:
They have joined the war!And, unfortunately, they chose the opposite side of the West, facing the fangs of the lion.
Bouncing up like a rabbit from the reclining chair, Steve Lannister was fully awake. He took three steps and two steps, and rushed directly to the terrace of the castle. His eyes looked directly at the vastness of the sunset sea. sea surface.
With just one glance, his heart suddenly rose into his throat, because, on the blue sea, he saw the shadow of the sail covering the sky, and the sea monster logo with teeth and claws on the sail.
The Iron Fleet is here!no doubt!This is the entire Iron Islands in full force!
In history, Lannisport and the Lannister fleet inside have encountered raids by the Iron Fleet countless times, but there is no way, because of a series of problems such as the terrain and the quality of the crew, the fleet in the Western Territory really cannot defeat the Iron Fleet .
From the battle of sea monsters during the Dance of the Dragons, to the Blackfyre Rebellion more than 60 years later, to the Greyjoy Rebellion more than ten years ago, it seems that Lannister's fleet is here to wait for the Iron Fleet Come and attack and burn the general.
And now, on this ordinary afternoon in the 299th year of the Conquest, the painful memories of Lannisport in history seemed to be repeated again!
……
Standing on the prow of the Iron Fleet's flagship, the great warship known as the Invincible Ironborn, Victarion Greyjoy, Lord Commander of the Iron Fleet, who believed in the Drowned God, was yelling his Fleet, launched a surprise attack on the panicked Lannister fleet.
More than ten years ago, he did exactly the same thing once. At that time, the family stood on the opposite side of the Iron Throne. According to the plan of his second brother Euron Greyjoy, he led an army to raid Lannisport. The main force of the fleet in the west.
If it hadn't been for the subsequent naval battle, where he was defeated by the hard-hearted commander-in-chief of the Royal Fleet, Stannis Baratheon, that battle would probably have had a different ending, because if the Iron Fleet were still there, they would have gone to see Robert the Seven Gods. , It is simply impossible to land on Pike Island.
"Take their boat, kill people first, and burn it if you can. We still have big business to do next!"
Following Victarion in the direction pointed by his sword, more than 100 longships from the ironmen came out, outflanking and mooring in the port from both sides. Lannister, who didn't even open his sails, was suddenly attacked. fleet.
There is no artillery in this era. Therefore, fleet duels basically rely on the ramming angle to directly sink the opposite side, or the side of the ship touches each other, and directly jumps to attack. thrown onto the opposite boat.
However, this kind of situation is usually played by big ships. The ironborn fleet is all high-speed predatory longships. This kind of ship sacrifices size and spends all skill points on speed.
This is also closely related to the situation they are in. A group of pirates, it doesn't matter whether they win or not. If they can run, they will have a chance to attack again. Therefore, speed is more important than others.
"Uncle, these Lannisters seem to be unprepared again, they really care about eating but not fighting."
Standing beside him, Asha Greyjoy, who had completed the negotiations between the Northern Territory and the Iron Islands, was not commanding the battle on her Black Wind at this time, but was following this uncle with whom she had a very good relationship, Directly assist in commanding the entire Iron Fleet.
With Theon Greyjoy's return in sight, she remains Balon Greyjoy's heir.
Asha's sneer made the unsmiling Victarion turn his head to look at his niece. The front battle had already begun, but the commander-in-chief of the Iron Fleet didn't even have a single wave in his eyes. He asked plainly:
"Asha, tell me, you believe that the boy from White Harbor you saw is Clay Manderly, right?"
"Yes, that's the name."
Asha nodded, not understanding what his uncle was talking about that obnoxious young boy.
"You said, if he uses 5000 people to challenge Jaime Lannister's 1 people, what are his chances of winning?"
Regarding this question, Asha Greyjoy frowned and thought hard for a while, but found that she couldn't get any answer at all.
Logically speaking, the Kingslayer is someone who has led the army for many years. He defeated 2 people in the Hejian Land along the way. After all, he should be better than a kid like Clay Mandalay, right?But Asha's intuition told him that Clay Manderly was very evil, and he couldn't be judged by common sense.
After thinking about it for a long time, there was not enough evidence for her to draw a conclusion. She simply gave up thinking about it, shrugged her shoulders, and said a typical ironborn speech:
"Whatever, anyway, we're going to make two-handed preparations. We'll take Lannisport and destroy Lannister's fleet. Even if Clay Manderly is defeated by the Kingslayer, it doesn't matter. Without a ship, the Western Territory can take us away." what to do?"
"It would be even better if that kid really hides his secrets and cleans up the Kingslayer and his 1 people. Guys grab it all."
"Gold is everywhere in the western region, we just pay the iron money."
Hearing the last sentence, Victarion's tense face slowly cracked, revealing a not-so-obvious smile. This is the daughter of a sea monster. On the Iron Islands, they don't talk about mainland nobles.
The naval combat capability of the Iron Fleet is at the peak level of the Seven Kingdoms. Against the unprepared Lannister fleet, in less than an hour, all the Lannister warships were either completely destroyed by the fire, or became part of the Iron Fleet. loot.
Shipbuilding is not something that happens overnight. As for the huge keel that supports the entire warship, it cannot be done just by cutting down a tree. It must be processed for a long time before it can be used.
Under the leadership of the experienced old captain Victarion, the Ironborn did a great job. After they wiped out the Lannister fleet, they directly attacked the panicked shipyard.
A big fire directly burned several large warehouses where Lannister used to store shipbuilding materials, and completely burned them down. Now, even if Lannister regained Lannisport, he could only stare at the setting sun in a daze.
There is really no way without a boat. You can’t use fishermen’s small sampans, right?
Victarion did such an extreme thing in order to completely abolish the shipbuilding potential of the western region and prepare for the next step to capture the entire Fairy Island.
Without a boat, the connection between Fairy Island and the entire western region would be cut off by the Iron Fleet at any time. At that time, Victarion would be able to starve to death of Fairy Island, which was not rich enough to be self-sufficient in food.
This is a conspiracy. Even if Duke Tywin is clever, he can't build a ship out of thin air. Looking at the whole of Westeros, the Manderly family in White Harbor is temporarily with himself. The fleets of the two families Taken together, it is enough to completely crush any of the remaining ones.
The Lannister fleet has just been stewed by his own fleet, and the rest that can be put on the table, that is, the fleet of one or two families in the Reach, and those who have already put the crown on their heads and control the entire Stannis Baratheon of the royal fleet.
However, these two guys, now, no matter how they think about it, they will never get involved in the war between the Iron Islands and the Western Territory. The soft-bodied fleet in the Reach dare not challenge the Iron Fleet alone, and Stannis, let alone Possibly burned all of Westeros to beat himself, was it really Robert who was sitting in that ass-sucking iron chair?
Therefore, Victarion's order to the ironmen who landed is, kill casually, kill with confidence, kill boldly, and everything you grab belongs to everyone.
The troops of the entire western region were dragged to the battlefield in the river by the two armies of the northern region and could not move. The coast of the western region was like the women's branch of King's Landing to the Iron Fleet, which had already controlled the sea. They could come and leave whenever they wanted just go.
Soon, a fire swept across Lannisport. The once-rich Pearl of the West has now been reduced to hell on earth. The ironborn have no discipline at all, and they are not afraid of retribution. The gods everyone believes in They are all different, what retribution are you talking about?
Victarion didn't order his precious crew to go head-to-head with the castle garrisoned in Lannister Port, which has closed its gates and guarded against death.
It's important to grab things, who has the time to attack your high-walled fortress?
Thus, a team of ravens was sent to Harrenhal by the terrified Steve Lannister. The fire in the backyard of the Western Territory must be known to Duke Tywin as soon as possible.
Otherwise, if these ironmen were allowed to let go of the killing in the western region, even if Tywin Lannister defeated all the enemies, the western region would be completely abolished.
……
For Clay, who is in a comfortable position in Riverrun and no one dares to mess with him, he doesn't know that the Iron Fleet has already done a big deal in Lannisport. The port of Nice, for him, was not decisive.
For him now, it was only reasonable to deal with the over 2000 Lannister defeated army who were at large as soon as possible.
The four demon hunter guards have already returned to Riverrun. According to them, these 2000 people will run out of food no matter what, because the four of them have exhausted the Lannister logistics force.
Originally, the next batch of food sent to the front line of Riverrun City was just about to be shipped, and the four of them took the opportunity to burn a quarter of it. Going south, the Marquis Glover and the thousand cavalry in his hands are ready to go.
Therefore, if Clay didn't besiege Riverrun, the 1 people would have to run out of food in half a month. Unfortunately, Clay didn't know about this at the time.
In this era where battlefield communication is all about shouting, synchronous information exchange is simply a dream.
"Master Clay, according to reliable sources, the original Lannister army from Tengshi North Camp appeared at this location two days ago."
Edmure Tully came to the room specially prepared for Clay, and shared with him the latest battlefield situation. Clay followed his fingers and frowned. He raised his eyebrows and asked:
"Crossing the river?"
Edmure Tully sighed and nodded:
"Crossing the river, the final strength of these desperate people is really terrifying. We caught up with them twice, but were thrown off by them. These people are very ruthless. Every time we catch up with them, there will be some seriously injured people voluntarily Stay behind and fight with us desperately."
Clay understood what Edmure Tully meant, which meant that the combined forces of the Tully family and the Northern Cavalry failed to keep these people behind in the two attacks.
After a moment of silence, Clay relaxed his overlapping fingers and said softly:
"It seems that there are also warriors in the Lannister army, and he is a worthy opponent."
He originally wanted to say that you didn't deserve to lose, but after thinking about it, forget it. Everyone knows that the Tully family's army's combat effectiveness is worrying, but it's another matter to say it clearly.
After Clay entered Riverrun City, he originally ordered the northern cavalry group to dispatch 2000 troops to quickly maneuver to the banks of the Tengshi River to completely kill the last rout.
But Edmure Tully volunteered to stand up and said that he would bring enough troops to the riverland to kill these 2000 people in one fell swoop and win back the honor for the Tully family.
Clay didn't intend to agree at all at first, but later, Duke Hoster Tully called him into the study for a while and asked him to consider for the whole Tully family, so let's just give in.
The old man said so, what can Clay do?He had no choice but to agree, but, to be on the safe side, he still sent two hundred cavalry to join the team.
Now it seemed that this Edmure Tully, who ran back to Riverrun in a flash, was a little confused about the two thousand outlaws.
Gentlemen, the old man in the family is hospitalized. I have been with him every day for the past few days, and I am exhausted. Everyone will watch the 4k every day, and resume the update above 6k after this busy period.
