Chapter 215 Wildling Attack"Why did they burn the forest?"
"The fire is still What can it be used for?" Igor gnashing teeth said: "It emits heat, one can burn things, and the other can emit light. They may be using fire to intercept ghouls, or they may want to use the raging flames to cross the wall. It's a signal for them to contact them. Taken together - Mance Rayder may want to use the firelight as a signal to launch a general attack, and also use the fire as a barrier to ensure that he doesn't have to worry about the ghouls behind him when attacking the Wall!"
It's really lucky to be home, why did oneself just catch up?
If it hadn't taken him more than a dozen days to pick up James in the Westerlands, he would have arrived at Castle Black and started planning a way to deal with the wildling; and the other way around - if it wasn't on the way north from The Neck Having met Arya's relatives, oneself has been rushing at full speed in order to get rid of that nasty little discipline as soon as possible... Even if it is a day or two later, the first wave of attacks can pass when arriving at Castle Black.
The summary in one sentence is: No matter whether it is earlier or later, he can avoid this dangerous battle or at least reduce its degree of danger, but he arrives at just the right time. , without a trace of preparation time, had to rush to meet this challenge.
Is oneself a coincidence, or are wildlings having trouble with oneself?
......
"Overall attack? What to do then!"
Having lived in Wall for a year, Jon is no longer the ignorant boy he used to be, but now he has a Subconsciously wanting to be lazy as he sees older and smarter people beside him - asks Igor for advice.
"What else can be done, defense... keep an eye on the wall!" Igor shouted to the Night's Watch, who was guarding the top of the Wall: "Let's go down and arrange defense, remember, as long as you see something moving Approach the Wall, don't hesitate, just blow the horn twice!"
"Understood, don't worry!"
"Go, let's go down."
Igor It's a Night's Watch, and an officer... He can be afraid of death, but he can't avoid the battle. Since he arrives at this critical time, let's go on the bronze oneself!
Igor and Jon burrow into the cage, signaling their descent. With the creaking sound of the elevator, they were back on the ground a few minutes after they had just climbed up the Wall.
"Sam! Go and call the chief service officer and the craftsman to bring up all the weapons and armors in the warehouse and distribute them to everyone - everyone, including the service officer and the craftsman.
"Sam! As soon as Jon came out of the cage, he shouted to the Night's Watch gathered in the Castle Black courtyard: "Edd, you ride to Mole's Town and let the villagers take refuge in Castle Black. If anyone wants to attack here, they will definitely be bloodbathed first. There!"
(Jon already has oneself's friends and prestige in Night's Watch.) Igor is slightly relieved.
Without the Rangers expedition, Jon would have no chance to infiltrate the wildling, and naturally he would not be able to escape before Mance launched an attack on Castle Black to report in advance, which led to Mole's Town and Castle Black's psychology of attack Seriously underprepared - but think in a good way, because of the existence of oneself, Castle Black is well armed, and there are fifty more elite soldiers who come with James...
Castle Black in the original plot Only a hundred people can survive Mance's first round attack and other reinforcements from Stannis. Now there are more than 300 people here, and they will definitely be able to defend. What oneself has to do, first, save lives, and then: make sure the situation is no worse than without the transmigrator of oneself.
"Let Maester Aemon write the alarm! Go and call Jaime Lannister Ser over, and let his men—the recruits who come with him stay unarmed and ready to fight!" Igor turned to face Oneself brought Castle Black's subordinate and said: "Move the two cans of Wildfire I brought from Queenscrown to the top of the Wall, and handle it gently!" The Night's Watches in the tower poured out one after another, took their weapons and concentrated in the courtyard. With all the rangers leaving and only a group of craftsmen and affairs officers left in Castle Black, the main defense force of Castle Black at this moment... It has become a group of recruits and foreign aid who have just arrived and have not yet been sworn in.
＊＊＊
The sky was getting dark, and the affairs officer did everything he could. The studded leather jacket and mail were all taken out, and Tywin Lannister never imagined that the equipment he donated would come in handy as soon as it arrived - the team of officers who were equipped with black armor seemed to even have several points of elite Soldier's appearance.
Night's Watches stood in the courtyard chatting and discussing spiritedly. The fire in the Haunted Forest to the north was burning more and more vigorously. The fire light illuminated the night sky that should have been dark as ink. Even if you don't climb the wall, you can see it when you look up ...
"Are you sure the wildlings will attack today, Igor?" Bowen asked. "Maybe they just want to burn a clearing so they can put their camp together."
"I wasn't sure...but it's ok now!"
Igor didn't explain much, he stared at the south - Mole's Town was only a long way away, and Edd, who was dispatched, quickly rode back, and the next After a few dozen meters away, he shouted: "wildling! Wildling is attacking Mole's Town! We have to go to the rescue!" As soon as the news of Night's Watch's "attack" came out, it immediately caused a fierce reaction.
"How many of them are there?"
"How dare I get close, I glanced at it from a distance, at least hundreds..."
"Whatever How much is it, just a bunch of wildlings!"
"Let's meet them!"
"Calm down!" Jon loudly stopped the brothers' fighting intent from shouting loudly: " Our duty is to guard the Wall, and we can't leave Castle Black now!"
"They're killing our friends and we're here to be turtles?"
"Our duty It's the Guard Wall!"
"You're just the Lord Commander's affairs officer, Lord Snow, don't point fingers there!" a Night's Watch shouted: "Commander Mormont is not dead, even if he is dead. , you may not be able to be the next Lord Commander! If we can't even protect Mole's Town in the front of one's eyes, why guard the Wall!"
"Yes, I'm just the Lord Commander It's just a business officer, but you're just a craftsman, why don't we come and hear the opinions of the chief business officer, chief craftsman, and chief logistics officer?" Jon replied loudly and looked towards Igor.
"We can't leave Castle Black." Smart, Igor complimented, but his face was expressionless: "But we can saddle all the rest of the horses and send people to patrol the surrounding area, if there is a Mole's Town's villagers escaped and gave them shelter. Lord Bowen and Osell, do you have any disagreement?"
"I agree."
"Guarding Wall is the first Yes."
Although he didn't even touch his ass when he got back to the Wall, and even though most of the Night's Watches in the room probably almost forgot what he looked like... but Igor was personally appointed by Mormont. There is no doubt that the chief logistics officer, with his military position alone, almost overwhelmed everyone present. In the absence of different opinions from the chief craftsman and the affairs officer at the same level, his order finally became the decision of the command.
wu wu wu ——
There were still people who wanted to say something, but Wall came up with two horns to put an end to the dispute. Igor was shivered and took the lead. Order: "According to what I just divided, I will bring a group to the city for defense, and the rest will stay behind Castle Black to prevent wildling sneak attack over the wall. Remember one thing - abandoned towers, kitchens, halls, stables... they can take whatever they want. , we just need to defend the city gate!”
…
Mance adopted the attack strategy of attacking from inside and outside. It is much safer to guard the gate with the wildling elite fighting at close quarters over the wall. Igor doesn't have much family property, and the loss is a little less. He took the initiative to grab the safer mission of going up the wall, hoping that in addition to the safety of oneself, he can also try to keep as many subordinates as possible that oneself brought Wall.
At the top of the Wall, Night's Watches began propping up steel basins with long poles and lighting illuminating flames within them. The wind is like a sharp sword, poking and stirring the flame, and the orange light swaying. Soldiers place arrows, crossbow sticks, lances and ballista arrows brought up from the ground under the battlements. In addition to these precious combat preparations, the rocks that the Night's Watches had brought up early were also piled up everywhere, and the large wooden barrels containing asphalt and lamp oil were lined up in the corners, layered on top of each other, giving a full sense of security.
With the steady supply of the Night's Watch industry and the hard work of its executives, Night's Watch now lacks everything—except manpower.
Igor looked down cautiously, and quickly understood the third purpose of Mance's order to light the fire - with the splendid forest fire a few miles away, the edge of the Haunted Forest under the Wall suddenly fell into the light The black effect, the forest where the wildlings are stationed is pitch-black, like an ocean of shadows, and only a little bit of flickering and moving starlight can be seen in it.
The huge role of the isolation belt is reflected at this critical moment: the snow that is several hundred meters wide and the trees are cut down leaves the wildlings nowhere to hide. These "free people" have no snow. Camouflage, when they rushed out of the Haunted Forest in variegated costumes and armor, shouting, stomping on the snow and running towards the Wall, the blind could not turn a blind eye.
Oh wū wū wū wū wū wū wū wū wū wū wū wū wū wū wū wū wū wū wū wū wū wū wū wū wū wū wū wū wū wu wu ——
horn sound again It rang, this time it wasn't from the Night's Watch. With the wildling tide gushing out from the Haunted Forest like an ant colony, at least a dozen horns sounded at the same time, mixed with many flutes and drums, with different tones. , without rhythm and regularity, and shocking people purely by volume and volume.
Amid the noise, a dozen mammoths and a considerable number of Giants also came out of the forest. Looking down from the Wall, the big guys standing among the ordinary wildlings are as conspicuous as the elites of the monster piles. ... King-Beyond-the-Wall's first frontal assault on the Seven Kingdoms begins as the Giants sprint towards the Wall with long legs.
