Chapter 288
The north wind whistled, mixed with large snowflakes swept under the cloak, and then drilled into people's necks, creak nests, and crotch through the gaps in the armor, it was like a greedy poisonous snake, ingesting all your heat and strength.
The sky is dreary, like a dirty quilt covering the Wall, maybe the Night's Watch blowing the horn can reach out and touch the zenith?
Dany said she didn't eat breakfast, but in fact she also understood that it was not early morning, even close to afternoon, and lunch time had already passed.
King's Tower is 30 meters high, built close to the 200-meter-high city wall, and at the top of the tower there is a wooden bridge that leads directly to the "zigzag" wooden ladder.
Dany's group of four walked up the wooden ladder when they encountered Smith Donal leading seventeen or eight black robe men trotting over. Sliced brown bread into mouth.
"Your Majesty, I can't treat you well!" shouted Donnel moved towards Dany.
"Then let's save our energy to entertain the Wildlings King!" Dany said with a smile.
At the top of the Wall, Night's Watch uses a pole taller than a person to prop up a row of iron pots, and a raging fire is generated inside. The wind howled, and the flames kept swaying.
Someone handed her a packet of warm braised beef and half a head of black bread, but Dany refused. It's freezing cold here. When you open your mouth, a big cloud of white gas comes out. The food in your mouth freezes before it's chewed. How can you have an appetite for eating?
The battlements on both sides of the aisle are entirely a piece of ash-gray ice, not sure if there are boulders wrapped in it, Dany has the illusion of oneself getting into the freezer.
In fact, the freezer is at most minus 18 degrees, and the temperature here is 80% lower than minus 20 degrees.
Wall is wide enough for twelve fully armed Knights to ride side by side, but the ground is icy and slippery. In order not to fall, the black clothed brother paved the passage with a gravel trail.
Well, the broad road is not covered, just a small path for the patrolmen to walk.
Besides the gravel road, bundles of arrows, ballistas, lances and ballista arrows are ready and spread out for the Night's Watch to use.
In addition to the arrow, there are also gray-white rocks the size of a washbasin, which are built three meters high and stretch over dozens of meters of road. Above the city gateway, there are also log barrels filled with asphalt and kerosene. .
What makes Dany strange is that a row of black clothed scarecrow sentries stood between the battlements, and they all held lances. Under the dim sky, the Wildlings who were several hundred meters away could not tell the difference. true and false.
Is this borrowing arrows from a grass boat?
To the north of the Wall is an endless dark jungle.
Night's Watch will regularly clean up the trees within 800 meters of the city wall, so there is a wide, white snow plain between the gray wall and the black jungle, like a white silk scarf spread out .
At this time, one after another walked out of the forest holding the black spot of the torch, leaving a light trace on the snow-white.
A two-kilometer line of attack, the Wildlings put their entire force into the field almost at once.
“wu wu wu ——wu wu wu ——” The Night's Watch named Red Alyn blew the horn again, twice, in a rapid voice, indicating that the Wildlings were about to attack immediately.
“wu wu wu ——”
“wu wu wu ——”
“wu wu wu ——”
. .....
This time the Wildlings responded, not only one horn, but more than ten horns playing on the open snow at the same time, Dany couldn't tell the number, the sound was too mixed, and there were There were loud flutes and dull drums.
But for some reason, Dany could hear the euphoria in these monotonous, cluttered voices, and she understood Wildlings' voice: here we come, we're going to destroy your city walls and loot yours. Land, occupy your daughters and wives!
"Wildlings are so arrogant!" Jon yelled.
"You heard that too?" Dany looked towards Cheap Nephew in surprise.
"Crap, get ready to drop the kerosene barrels and burn!" Donnel snarled at the six Night's Watches beside the two giant trebuchets, waving one arm.
The asphalt barrel was quickly stuffed into the trebuchet, and then the cloth stuffed into the barrel was ignited by the torch, the wind helped the fire, and the arrogance was violent.
"Put!" Noye yelled.
As the balance arm fell, the throwing arm slammed on the crossbar with a "peng" sound, and the burning asphalt barrel rolled and flew out under the dark sky, exuding strange swaying rays of light and billowing thick smoke .
"bang!" The oil drum fell into the snow and burst into a flaming lotus flower. Although none of the Wildlings were burned to death, the nearby Wildlings fled in a panic.
"The Seven is up! That's the mammoth, and the legendary Giant is sitting on it? Well..." Dany said with a strange expression, a little disappointed, "It's so small!"
"Not too small, right?" Jon shook his head, pointed to the long mammoth queue, and said in horror: "The shortest is three meters, the tallest is nearly four meters and five, and the ordinary person stands in front of them, just It's like a child facing an adult."
Dany shook his head and sneered: "Four-meter-five is tall? There is no one that is ten and eight meters, how can they fight dragon? You think they can beat my two. Dragons? They are still young dragons, and they are only two years old!"
"Roar——————————————"
Dany immediately After being slapped in the face, I saw a Giant standing up from the back of mammoth, holding a stick - a tree trunk, and roaring angrily towards the Night's Watch above the city gate. Like thunder from ancient times, the snow on the wall even trembled, and the people on the wall, including Dany oneself, were also shaking, as if they had eaten a "True Dragon roar".
"really strong!" Dany put away his smile, said resolutely: "It seems that I am a little arrogant, twice as tall as a human being, it does not mean that the strength is only twice as high, I am only afraid of ten people Tug-of-war with Giant, and Giant wins."
"Go on!" Noye called, and the trebuchet reloaded, followed by two more flaming pitch barrels crackling through the sky, falling into the enemy's army.
Uh, embarrassing, it seems like another Wildlings didn't get killed.
Indeed, the barrels fly parabolically, and the flight time is a bit long. Wildlings is reckless but not blind.
"Don't throw it, it won't hit anyone, it's a waste." Dany shouted to the one-armed man.
"Can't stop attacking, I have to boost morale." One-armed Smith lowered his voice and pointed to the Night's Watch shiver coldly behind the wall stack.
"What are they afraid of?" Dany didn't like him, shouting deliberately so that everyone could hear.
"Isn't it just 20,000 or 30,000 Wildlings troops, or hundreds of thousands of Wildlings tribes? I've seen this kind of battle a lot."
Smith was stunned and sighed: "We There are only two dozen Warriors left. The battle ended last night, and most of the villagers in Mole's Town left."
"Wrong, you still have two dragons."
"Then you let the dragons Go out and burn them!" A woman with disheveled hair stuck her head out from behind the scarecrow.
Dany met this woman on the city wall, Mole's Town prostitute, Zei.
She held a long-armed crossbow, without a hint of cowardice on her face, as brave as a female Warrior.
"I am and the others." Dany laughed at her, "You are brave, braver than the men in Mole's Town!"
prostitute Zei blushed and asked awkwardly : "Your Majesty, you...who are you waiting for?"
"Mance Rayder?!" Jon blurted out.
Smith Donal looked surprised, nodded and said: "Yes, if you want to burn the Wildlings King, the dragon comes out too early, Mance Rayder will definitely hide."
" Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..." Several people were talking when a sharp whistling sound suddenly came from outside the city wall.
The heads of the three or five scarecrows placed between the wall stacks seemed to be stuffed into grenades and exploded violently. Ah Seven Hells! They flew two hundred meters high, and they still have such great strength."
"Ah------"
But her reminder was still a little late, In other words, the Giant shooter mainly focused fire near the trebuchet. A Night's Watch was pierced through the lower abdomen by a two-meter-long, thumb-thick wooden pole, like a feather stuck to the arrow, without any delay to the arrow, as light as Flying out obliquely into the sky.
"Fuck!"
Dany was stunned, the arrow with the howling Night's Watch man flew a full 100 meters high - he wasn't dead yet , the cry was louder than the horn, and the entire Castle Black was shrouded in a terrifying dying howl.
Castle Black's Septon, Cellador, looked in horror at the unfortunate man who flew into the distance, while drinking violently, he sang "Song of the Mother" with a trembling voice: "Ah, gentle Mother, The source of mercy, bless your sons through the fierce battle, stop the arrows, resist the sword, let them see a better tomorrow..."
One-armed Smith did not care about the whining sound of flying farther and farther. , quickly put his head out of the battlement, glanced down, surprised and angry: "Not good, Wildlings are going to hit the city gate!"
One hundred and ten Giants stopped 500 meters outside the city gate. Three-stage shooting mode, shooting frantically at the battlements above, suppressing Night's Watch to dare not look up.
A dozen or so giant giants rode on mammoth and led thousands of Wildlings to cross the Giant archer queue and flock to the city gate.
Barristan set fire to the pitch barrels in the aisle, then held up the unburned bottom and threw it out of the battlements.
"bang!" A huge javelin-like arrow shot a wooden barrel that had just fallen ten meters, and the flames fell like raindrops.
Underlying wildlings with fur and tousled hair, smeared with burning sticky asphalt, immediately howled, dropped their weapons and rolled around in the snow.
There is also a mammoth, the long hair on the neck was ignited, and "ang Ang" shouted to scatter the Wildlings array, and countless Wildlings were killed and trampled to death.
"Okay!"
One-armed Smith began to urge Night's Watch to learn White Cloak. Stones fell down.
"With Wall around, as long as Night's Watch doesn't make too obvious mistakes, it doesn't matter how many Wildlings." Dany muttered.
"Boom-thump-thump--" There was a sudden sound like a shield beating, um, the power and sound decibel was amplified a hundred times.
"Damn, mammoth is hitting the city gate." Donnel cursed loudly.
The Giant on the back of the mammoth holds a huge oak shield, two double beds put together so wide, and thick... Anyway, two or three boulders are still burning on them. Raging flames, but the shield just didn't break.
"ang ang——" Mammoth made a loud train whistle-like sound, and the stride was another bump...
"ka! "
The crisp sound of oak cracking made everyone on the city wall chill, because it wasn't Giant's shield that cracked, the city gate was also made of thick oak, and now it has a big hole.
"The city is broken!" Archmaester Perestan, who had been huddled in the corner, screamed like a woman.
"..." Dany was speechless, no doubt, she was beaten in the face again, this is a fantasy world, there is a creature called magical beast!
Like dragon, Direwolf, Shadowcat, Giant and mammoth belong to the top Legendary creatures, she should not use scientific thinking to judge the strength of these magical beasts.
Smith Donal was stunned, clenched the teeth sharply, and said to Barristan: "Ser, you will command the battle on the city wall, and I will take people to the city gateway to hack those dogs|mongrels to death. "
Not waiting for White Cloak to speak, Dany dissuaded loudly: "Don't get excited, there are two dragons below, suffocating in the city gateway and burning, worse than being stoned to death, Giant can't stand out Yes."
"Uh..." One-armed Smith was stunned, nodded and said: "Okay, this is a good way to burn them."
"Wait, I remember that there is a thick layer of ice at the mouth of the city gateway, will it be baked and collapsed?" Jon Snow said.
