Chapter 217 CaptiveWildfire mixed with a lot of kerosene and asphalt lost the ability to explode, if it were normal In the attack and defense of the castle, a flame naturally cannot stop the attackers from climbing and destroying other parts of the city wall, but in front of The Wall, a special defensive building... In the case where the only possible breakthrough point is the city gate , a group of strange green flames that enveloped the door became the best means of defense.
The wildlings are not going to put out the fire with overhead attacks, and this blazing green flame will obviously not end for a while. Now, it's time to help out the Night's Watch on the ground.
"Leave 20 people here, and blow the trumpet if necessary!" Igor loudly said, and randomly selected a row of old, weak and sick to continue to monitor: "Others, take the guy downstairs and go to Help my brothers!"
Because he didn't know what was going on under Wall, Igor waited for the first group of people to go downstairs before taking the soldiers directly under the logistics department to take the elevator back to the ground. What let him breathe a sigh of relief was that the battle below was coming to an end, and he didn't need to go into battle to fight the enemy in person.
…
A tower was on fire, there were dead bodies everywhere, and there were living people running around, and it was good that most of the people still moving All wore black clothed. The low wooden walls and barricades could not stop the attackers from entering, but they made the wildlings run into trouble when they lost the battle. As far as Igor could see, there were two wildlings trying to escape over the wall. Got stabbed in the back by Night's Watch. Night's Watch in groups of three are scouring towers and buildings for wildlings who have intruded into hiding...Castle Black hasn't been cleared yet, but the fight is effectively over.
The next step is to put out the fire, treat the wounded and count the losses of the enemy and the enemy. The craftsmen and affairs officers put away their weapons and began to devote themselves to the post-war clean-up work.
James approached with a blood-stained sword. After a battle, he finally forgot about the big mistake made by oneself for a while, and his face was finally no longer expressionless: " This damn place...is everyday all so exciting?"
"How is that possible." Igor knew that the thrill of being drawn into a bloodbath as soon as he arrived could easily frighten newcomers. , James and his bodyguards have not yet had a choice, if those young men in the logistics department who are not selling themselves want to quit because of fear, then oneself will be in a hurry for a while: "The reason why this battle happened is entirely under the command of Night's Watch. The decision-making mistakes of the top floor, now that I am back, I will never give wildling such a chance to attack from both sides!”
“Being attacked by both sides is not the worst thing...As the headquarters of Night's Watch, Castle Black will Can't we build a solid wall?" Kingslayer looked puzzled and annoyed: "There are so many idle towers here, just tearing down a few of them, digging a little mud, is enough to build a high wall."
James Ken spoke, which was a good start, Igor naturally would not object to his proposal, shrugged: "I will pass on your proposal to Commander Mormont, and take your people to find a place to rest. Well, Night's Watches will do the rest."
There was a quarrel from a dozen meters away, Igor heard Jon's voice and immediately brought someone over to check the situation.
＊＊＊
"This woman whore killed at least our two brothers!"
"She surrendered and is now my captive." Jon Confront the speaker.
"I didn't see her surrender."
Jon grabbed the female wildling: "Are you surrendering?"
"I surrender." The female wildling's The words were fogged in the cold air.
"You see this wildling girl whore! Wall is so lonely, your illegitimate child's evil bloodline is beginning to stir, isn't it?"
"This is my captive ." Jon insisted on this statement: "Is there a rule that the battle with wildling will not take prisoners? We can interrogate her to understand wildling's strategy and deployment!"
"wildling would rather bite his tongue and kill himself. It's a waste of effort not to answer the question."
Igor approached the scene and saw the female wildling - with red hair - in Jon's grasp.
It's Ygritte, who can't see her face in the night... She still participated in this raid on Castle Black, but was captured by Jon in the melee Are they caught with a female wildling, or are they destined to meet?
Igor didn't intend to think about this meaningless question any more, he interrupted the dispute between the two Night's Watch groups: "If there are still alive, arrest them! Even if there is nothing to be tried, They can also be used to send messages to Mance Rayder at critical moments!"
"The prisoners will also eat our food!"
With oneself's new army training at King's Landing In contrast, the strict discipline and quality of Night's Watch seem to have become so general now, and any soldier dares to contradict the Chief Logistics Officer? Igor frowned, realizing that what oneself said was still not very useful: "The problem of food is naturally solved by the logistics department, stop talking nonsense, clean up the battlefield, and the people in the kitchen will prepare dinner!"
Chief The craftsman and the clerk are honest people who don't like to give orders. The Mormont commander and the chief ranger are not there. After leaving for a year, Igor returned to Castle Black. Igor actually had a bit of a domineering meaning. 's principal. The steaming onion broth was quickly carried out of the kitchen. Everyone had a share, but they also brought it to the sentries who stayed at the top of the Wall. It was accompanied by bread, which quickly replenished the physical consumption of the battle.
In the dark night, the count became especially difficult, until midnight... The preliminary data was not calculated: Castle Black defenders sacrificed 26 people and injured a few; the wildling attacking Castle Black was about 200, of which Seventy-six people were killed, five were captured, and the rest fled into the night.
The elite soldiers that James brought from the Westerlands were armed with long spears to fight against the enemy. They were as unstoppable as killing gods. They made nearly half of the number of kills, but the loss was only four. . The raiding wildling never dreamed of it - they tried their best to mobilize the most elite Rangers in Night's Watch, but on the day of the raid, they encountered the Westerlands elite with stronger battle strength who just arrived.
Facing the most elite in the wildling, this casualty ratio is a big victory, but considering that the total population of the opponent is a hundred times that of Night's Watch, this record becomes not worth mentioning.
After drinking the hot soup, eating the bread, and burning the bodies of the wildling and the sacrificed brethren, there was still no horn sound from the top of the Wall. No one can tell whether the wildling will attack tonight, but three hundred people are impossible to wait. After consulting with the chief craftsman and the affairs officer, the three commanders have made a new night watch - to ensure that every moment There were twenty on the top of the Wall and thirty on the towers around Castle Black.
Under the name of not being a member of the Night's Watch Legion, Igor helped the logistics staff brought in by oneself to escape the rotation. After traveling thousands of miles and following closely from behind, they were lucky to have no casualties and lived in Hardin's Tower under the arrangement of Igor - this was chosen because Jon and his friends also live here. Night's Watch is a whole, but where there are people, there are small groups. With the acquiescence of the commander, soldiers can generally choose their own accommodation to ensure that they are with familiar and close people... Anyway, Castle Black was built with accommodation in mind. Five thousand people, many empty buildings.
After a chaotic and exhausting day, Igor had no energy to catch up with Jon, briefly cleaned the room with oneself's followers, lit the fireplace and made the bed, and he fell asleep quickly.
＊＊＊
The wildlings did not attack again that night. After a good night's sleep, they ushered in the second day of arriving at the Wall.
The situation is bad, the barrels consumed one third in last night's battle, and Wildfire only had one tank left. The most troublesome thing is that the outer sect has undergone the destruction of the Giants and the fire in the middle of the night. It has been completely deformed and twisted, and it is separated from the ice wall that has been melted... It can't be opened or closed, obviously it can't resist the next one. The wheel is broken.
The wildlings launched another feint after dawn the next day, dragging the corpses farther from the Wall back to the woods to be burned, and then launched a second attack that night using the hide-covered war chariot. The round attacked on a large scale... but without the coordination of the wildling across the wall, Castle Black was quickly repelled by the green flames that could not be extinguished by water.
The Wildfire had run out, and there were not many oil barrels left, but Igor had an idea and arranged for people to fill all the empty barrels that could be found in the tower with water, and sent people to carry them to the top of the wall. The platoons are raised in the corners.
Maybe it's the "oil barrels" like the fox which exploits the tiger's might that scared the wildling Skinchanger who controls the birds for reconnaissance, or maybe it's the experience of two wildfire barbecues that scared them, and It may be that the Rangers' return defense was detected... By the third day, the wildlings stopped attacking the Wall, and Commander Mormont and Jeremy Lake Ser also returned to Castle Black with some of the Rangers.
