Game of Thrones: From Lord Elden to Young Wolf
Chapter 120: Tied
Wildfire was originally very difficult to refine and preserve. When Stannis launched his army to attack King's Landing, Cersei ordered alchemists to refine wildfire in large quantities.
The alchemists at that time found that the refining of wildfire became simpler, and they couldn't help but think of the speculation of an ancient alchemist: the spell to make wildfire was not as effective as in ancient times because of the disappearance of dragons.
Wildfire is a very strong green liquid, which is very flammable.
Once wildfire is ignited, it will definitely burn the object. It can penetrate clothes, wood, leather and even steel, making them all catch fire. Even wildfire floating on the water can burn.
When Stannis's ships attacked, the little devil lit wildfire on the sea and burned most of the enemy's ships.
Because of its explosive properties, the transportation and preservation of wildfire are also very strict.
All the wildfires transported from King's Landing were transported here at night. The trucks were filled with sand just in case. After arriving at the destination, they were sealed with wax and placed in the cellar, and then the cellar was filled with water for storage.
Tywin's march was so slow because of the wildfires.
The army of the Hightower family near Highgarden.
The maesters shouted loudly: "Be careful, don't expose that thing if you don't want to die!"
"Remember, even if it is just placed under the sun, the wildfire will be ignited. When it burns, you and I will lose our lives!"
The soldiers trembled and lifted the pottery jar, carefully placed it on the catapult, and then suddenly sent this unlucky thing to Highgarden.
The pottery jar drew a beautiful arc in the air and hit the wall of Highgarden.
The can was broken, and the green liquid inside instantly scattered, and the dazzling sunlight instantly ignited the liquid.
The ignited wildfire burst into a heat wave, sweeping around and engulfing the soldiers.
"Ahhh!"
"My hand is on fire!"
"Put out these things quickly, water!"
"Water is useless, idiot! This thing can burn on water, use sand, quick!"
The soldiers on the wall were in chaos. The lethality and morale-damaging ability of wildfires are much greater than that of boulders.
At least being killed by a boulder by accident is just a matter of a moment.
But if you are burned to death by wildfire, the pain is not something that ordinary people can endure!
The attendants on both sides were anxious: "Lord Metz, let's go back to the inner city quickly, it's too dangerous here!"
"Ah! Yes...you are right, here...very dangerous..."
The Duke of Metz was still a little confused, as if he was frightened by the scene in front of him.
With the help of the attendants, the Duke of Metz returned to the inner city in a panic with a big belly.
Before he left, he looked back and saw thousands of soldiers standing densely on the wall, all guarding their posts in fear.
"What can we do? We can only take the beating and cannot fight back. If we continue like this, the outer wall will be lost sooner or later!"
The Duke of Metz paced back and forth anxiously. He subconsciously wanted to find his mother and sons to discuss countermeasures, but immediately realized that they were not in the High Court.
There is still one heir left with him. Alas, it is better not to find him, which will only add to his troubles.
"Sir, the morale of the defenders on the wall is low. This is not a solution!"
The Duke of Metz said angrily: "I know, but what can I do!"
The servants looked at each other and didn't know what to say: You are the Duke, you don't know what to do, so let's go out and surrender!
The Duke of Metz was restless, and the sound of boulders and wildfires bursting outside kept coming.
Although he didn't hear it, the Duke of Metz still heard the screams and wails of the soldiers.
It seemed that the next second, the soldiers would retreat and didn't want to stand on the wall and die in vain.
However, there were no soldiers on the wall. What if the other side sent soldiers to seize the wall?
The servants brought another bad news: "My lord, the enemy's large force seems to be attacking us!"
The Duke of Metz was shocked when he heard this: "Quick! Arrange people to hold on!"
The army of the Hightower family is about the same number as the garrison stationed in Highgarden. Although the Duke of Metz's combat effectiveness is average, it was originally easy to defend with the blessing of the Highgarden city wall.
But the current situation is a little wrong.
In the next three days, the Duke of Metz could not eat well or sleep well in the inner city, and the previous battle reports were worse and worse.
If it weren't for the sufficient supplies and large number of soldiers in Highgarden, Highgarden would have been lost long ago.
Many lords and knights of the family insisted on commanding and maintaining the stability of the city wall.
The soldiers whose morale was broken by the wildfire were immediately replaced, and the soldiers who had rested came up to continue.
They hid behind the stones that the wildfire could not burn, and carried a lot of sand to the city wall to extinguish the people who were on fire in time.
"Hold on! Damn it, we can't hold on for much longer, where's Lord Mace?"
On the wall, a noble-looking man asked the people below.
After Duke Mace left, this noble consciously took on the role of commander-in-chief. It was also his credit that the soldiers in the High Court held on for three days in the one-sided beating.
Many of the soldiers may look down on Lord Mace in their hearts.
But for the commander in front of them, they obeyed from the bottom of their hearts and were willing to unite around him to protect their hometown.
Because he is the last legend and the last face of the River Bend!
"Lord Randyll Tarly, um... Lord Mace is extremely scared. He is drinking in the inner city!" the waiter whispered.
Randyll Tarly, Lord of House Tarly and Lord of Hornhill.
In the Usurper's War, Robert won three out of three battles, almost invincibly defeating all the nobles who supported the Targaryen family.
But Randyll Tarly led the vanguard of the Reach to end Robert's myth.
Robert was defeated for the first and last time. He escaped with serious injuries, and Randyll Tarly became famous in the battle.
Afterwards, the Duke of Metz rushed to the battlefield with the main force, trying to take credit for defeating Robert, but he was blamed.
Hearing that Mace was still drinking, Lord Randyll Tarly threw his helmet to the ground angrily and cursed: "This old guy!"
Peng!
Another boulder flew towards the city wall and shattered into pieces. The flying stones flew everywhere and almost found Lord Randyll Tarly's bare head.
The attendant was startled: "Lord Landao, you'd better put on your helmet quickly!"
Randyll Tully picked up the helmet while cursing: "Did their rocks arrive again? They didn't throw any rocks yesterday, and they're here again today!"
"How on earth did these people from the academy study that this garage, which can hold a hundred soldiers, is as high as the city wall!"
Randyll Tully had already fought off several waves of enemies that emerged from the garage.
In fact, he hoped that the other party could send soldiers to attack the city, at least then those monster-like catapults would not work at this time.
At least you can fight back when fighting someone.
"They probably don't have much inventory of such dangerous goods..."
Randyll Tarly took a look at the battlefield and determined that the enemy would not attack in a short time. Striding towards the inner city.
The attendants were unable to stop him and did not dare to stop him, allowing Lord Randyll Tarly to find the drunken Duke of Mace.
Randyll Tully said loudly: "You're still drinking here, the city will be destroyed soon, you'd better run for your life quickly!"
The Duke of Metz still had some consciousness: "How can I run away? This is High Court. If I run away, how can I deal with the family?"
Landao suddenly took a step forward, grabbed the Duke of Metz by his collar, and wanted to lift him up and curse him angrily.
But the Duke of Mace was too fat. Randyll Tully tried twice without success and had to give up.
"You still know how to maintain the honor of the family! Look what you are doing now?"
"I'm telling you, as long as the opponent fights for a few more rounds, we won't be able to defend it! When they break into Highgarden, you will be the first to be killed!"
Randyll Tarly and the Duke of Metz are also old acquaintances, and they speak without mercy.
The Duke of Metz jumped in fright and suddenly became half sober.
"Then...what should we do!"
"What should we do?" Lord Randyll Tully was too lazy to talk in circles with him. "If we continue like this, we can only wait for death to defend the city. Now we can only find a glimmer of hope in a desperate situation!"
Count Randyll Tarly's face was full of determination, which was in sharp contrast to the fear and hesitation on Duke Metz's face: "I will take the people outside to kill for a while and break their front!"
Duke Mace was startled: "We...should hold on, Robb said..."
Randyll Tully hated iron and said: "The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly. You have no ability to deal with the situation. Of course you can only defend the city, but you can't defend it now. Only if I lead people out to fight can we have any chance of survival!"
The Duke of Metz had no idea: "Okay... then you go."
Randyll Tully almost laughed out of anger: "If I go, won't there be no one to command on the city wall?"
"Yeah, what about the city wall?"
Randyll Tarly tried to drag the Duke of Mace away again and cursed him angrily.
"Of course it's you, can you use your brain! Apart from you appearing on the city wall to defend the city, who else can improve morale?!"
The Duke of Metz's face suddenly changed, revealing a constipated expression.
He looked left and right, knowing that what Landao said was true.
Everything in High Garden is the memory of his growth. No matter how useless he is, he must at least dedicate everything to protecting High Garden!
The Duke of Metz soon showed a determined look: "Okay! I'll go back to the city wall!"
Randyll Tully nodded, his old friend finally got tough.
"I will count the soldiers right away. When the time comes, I will fight out. You will lead the soldiers on the city wall to shout, guard the city wall, and kill any enemies that may climb up."
The Duke of Metz looked bitter: "I can't do this. I'm afraid I will run away by then."
"Why are you running? Your legs will be weak by then!" Landao said unceremoniously, "I will arrange guards to protect you."
The Duke of Metz thought it made sense: "But it doesn't look good if I'm scared. Tie me to a spear so that I can't run away or fall to the ground. The soldiers guarding the city can see me and know I stand with them!"
