Game of Thrones Starts with the Lord Blast System

Chapter 193: Widow's Hope (Part 1)

Lynn easily won the chess game against the Lannister family's little devil, which was not worth his delight, watching Tyrion leave like a wilted eggplant with a desolate expression.

However, Lynn's eyes were quietly looking to the north.

Widow Wang saw that the camp outside the city was busy, cavalrymen rushed out of the camp constantly, and messengers kept coming from the seaside, and then they kept running out of the camp to the seaside...

The widow looked at the coastline of the east coast. Thirty freight ships were arranged in a straight line, with iron chains forming a straight battle line. The figures on the sea were flickering, there were not many soldiers, and the sailors did not wear such heavy armor. In the busy turning and debugging of each sea-going ship, huge brackets are piled up.

The ship was 500 meters away from the east gate of Widow's View, and the flags were fluttering. The camps of the heavy cavalry and the armored cavalry regiment led by Duncan were located at the north and south ends of the city gate and the central axis of the ship.

Widow's Wang's north and south towers can just monitor these two cavalry camps.

The Flint soldiers in the castle had a leisurely look on their faces, without the slightest sense of urgency that the battle had descended.

The Gripen Legion sent only thirty surface cargo ships, which were not considered to be the navy, and two well-equipped cavalry.

The people hiding in the fortified castle were not at all afraid of such a formation.

It would be great if it was a confrontation, it means that Lynn's Gripen Legion was already stupid, and they were helpless to attack the castle.

As the commander-in-chief of the Widow Watch garrison, Sir Kerry always felt that the probability was too small, so he had to send a large number of scouts to inquire to the west to see if there were any other men in ambush over the past two days.

When the news came together, the Griffin had indeed only sent two cavalry as the main battle force. Ser Kerry's face was not happy, but full of anger.

Who is the Rothschild family looking down on?

He had already made up his mind that when the cavalry of the Gripen Legion came to yell outside the city, he would let Widowwang's strongest crossbow team slap their faces severely.

A cavalry siege is simply ridiculous.

Unless the defenders in the city take the initiative to attack all of them and engage in field battles with the enemy outside the city, they will have no chance of winning.

"How about we go to attack the camp? Those heavily armored cavalry can't wear armor at night, so kill them at night and give them a head-on attack."

A squad leader under Sir Kerry made such a suggestion yesterday. In front of the new Earl of Flint, Sir Kerry beheaded the rash squad leader.

"What a joke, as long as you defend the castle, the enemy will naturally retreat, so why bother them? Didn't you see Earl Flint, who was listening to the battle plan when it was proposed at the time, looked ashen?" Sir Kerry looked outside the city. In a quiet and uninhabited place, I thought angrily.

During the days of waiting for the news, Duncan's cavalry subordinates were constantly communicating with the sea ships on the coast. Because the cargo ships on the sea were transporting too heavy things, it was very slow to travel.

Duncan has intensified contact with the two cavalry camps in the north and south.

When the ships were using iron chains to cross each other, the widow-watched defenders suddenly came out of the city to make a surprise attack. The first stage of his cavalry combat mission was to prevent the defenders here from hindering the final gathering of the ships.

When the follow-up military ships continued to come to the coastline and the integration was completed, Duncan was completely relieved as the commander-in-chief of the crusade.

Widow Wang's people didn't see it through, and Lord Lynn personally arranged the tactics for the Gripen Legion in this battle.

The white sunburst banner on a black background also joined the battle from the north, and Lord Harion Karstark brought his entire Karstark army from the city of Cahor.

And behind the army, the women and children of the Karstark family were also several miles away.

Harion Kasta came to meet Ser Duncan at the Camp of the Knights of the Armed Forces, north of the east coast.

"Sir, according to my agreement with Lord Guardian Lynn, five hundred of my Karstark soldiers have arrived. May I know when we are expected to start the siege? I want my soldiers to do Get ready."

Halion Casta guessed that the current calm is to accumulate strength for future explosions. This time, no matter whether he wins or loses, he will not have a good life, but the difference is that he will not die if he wins. His people also have Widow Hope as a shelter, and he lost Kahor City but lost the affairs officer who managed Widow Hope.

After the battle was defeated, the entire Karstark family, young and old, who moved out of Kaho City, may have to go to a broken fishing village on the east coast to continue the family incense.

When Duncan heard this, he held the knight at his waist expressionlessly and glanced at Count Harion Kasta, and replied calmly, "Today."

Halion Kasta was taken aback, "Today? Have the reinforcements of the Gripen Legion arrived? Or are the inner circles in the city ready?"

"We are the only siege army, there won't be many reinforcements, and there will be no inner responders in the city, Your Excellency."

Duncan's calm expression did not convey confidence to Harion Casta. After hearing the words, Harion was completely restless.

He finally guessed: "Have your soldiers dug a tunnel?"

Duncan squinted at Harion Kasta, who was too lazy to answer the riddle, and said straight: "No, Lord Count, this siege of the Gripen Legion intends to defeat the defenders head-on."

Harion Casta's face twitched twice, his brain went blank, and he almost fainted.

With a hoarse voice, he exclaimed in an unbelievable tone: "Strong... strong attack? Or frontal?"

The "Wild Ass" was widely used as a siege catapult when Lynn attacked the Twins in the Riverland. This catapult is actually a torsion catapult, and its structure consists of two parts: the bracket and the boulder. rod. Among them, the riprap rod is fixed in the center of the bracket~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The top is tied with a leather pocket for the projectile, and the lower end is inserted into a tightly twisted horizontal rope.

When operating, the soldiers need to turn the winch first, pull the riprap to a horizontal position, and then put the stone ball in the ammunition bag. When launching, the previously accumulated force will be instantly released and the projectile will be ejected. Under normal circumstances, the "wild donkey" can reach a range of 400 meters, which can effectively destroy battlements and weak stone barriers.

But something like this doesn't pose much threat to the thick walled widow looking at the east gate.

Compared with the castles in the riverlands, which are made of mud bricks baked with mud, there are many stones in the mountains in the north. The castles here are mostly built with boulders weighing hundreds of pounds. Attacking the larger castles in the north is of little use.

The siege wars here are mostly carried out with "loft-style" siege vehicles. The siege vehicles are made of hardwood or steel, and the wooden shell is covered with animal skins. Inside, a battering ram hangs from the frame. The heads of these battering rams are cast iron, and if they hit the city gate rhythmically, they can break the city gate quickly.

However, siege vehicles are not suitable for castle warfare near the coastline, because the outer walls of the castles along the coastline are often protected by a deep moat.

As long as the drawbridge is retracted, the siege vehicle will not be able to drive to the city gate.

Widow's Watch is such a well-designed castle.

Duncan ignored the despair on Harion Casta's face, and looked at the sea to the east. His eyes were full of hope and confidence. This did not come from the blind confidence of a commander.

It's because of his unreserved natural trust in Lord Lynn.
