The Winter of Ice and Fire Is Coming
Chapter 914: Griffin Siege·Boulder Breaking the Strong Gate
"It's easy to break the city, attack!" Will said lightly.
"Strike?" Mrs. Laura and Jonissa looked at each other.
"Yes, take a good rest, eat and drink enough, just attack it!" Will said.
"How to attack?" Mrs. Laura said cautiously.
"The goal of the first day, Griffin breaks through the city gate." Will said.
"The griffon attack is good, but there is a flaw. The archers and spearmen of Elenwood City will hurt the griffon."
"They can't hurt the griffin, madam, madam, you just wait for dawn to see me attack the city."
"My lord and the Griffin attack the city?" said Mrs. Laura, "then what are we doing in a hurry to march here? Stay on hold?"
"You are here. Even though I and Griffin are in the city, Earl Ellenwood will definitely not attack. This is a suspicion." Will said, "Well, we are tired from the march. Let's rest. "
"Yes, Lord Will!" Mrs. Laura and Jonisa were dubious.

Earl Anders Ellenwood is a close associate and most capable assistant of Prince Dolan. Varys once conspired with Earl Anders Ellenwood, Prince Doran, and Jon Clinton on how to overthrow Robert Baratheon’s dynasty.
The deep relationship between Anders and Prince Doran is also attributed to the red viper Oberon.
When Oberon the Red Viper was sixteen, he was found affair with Lord Edgar Ellenwood's mistress, and the earl fought him for it. Due to the birth and age of Prince Oberon, the duel was agreed to stop at the sight of blood, and both were injured. A few days later, Earl Edgar died from a festering wound. It is believed that Oberon smeared poison on the sword. From then on, both Oberon's opponents and friends called him the "red viper".
Edgar is the grandfather of the current Earl of Anders Ellenwood. The red viper led to the death of Grandpa Anders, which quickly deteriorated the relationship between the Ellenwood family and the Martell family.
In order to repair the relationship between the two families, Prince Daolang banished the Red Viper. So the Red Viper had to leave Dorn, cross the narrow sea, wandering in the major free trade city-states, forced to make a living, the Red Viper had to become a mercenary.
After Prince Daolang banished his own brother, he deliberately repaired the broken relationship with the Elenwood family. The Irenewood Fortress is too important for Dorne.
After the death of Earl Edgar, his son Ormond became the heir. Ormond died not long after, and Anders Ellenwood inherited the family's domain and castle. Unlike his father, Anders took the initiative to repair the relationship with Prince Daurang and forgave Oberon the red viper, which gained the friendship and appreciation of Prince Daurang. Therefore, Prince Doran sent his prince Quentin Martell to the city of Irenwood and became Anders' adopted son and attendant.
Prince Quentin grew up in Ellenwood. He was ugly and became good friends with the earl’s handsome son Claytus. At present, Claytus has died in Valantis on the other side of the narrow sea, and Prince Quentin was also taken by Will to Winterfell and locked in the dungeon of Winterfell.
Will and Mans Reid want to attack Dorne, and there are two big families that cannot be accommodated and must be eliminated.
The first is the Dane family of Starfall. If this family can stand upright, the cohesion for the Dorne people is too strong, so Will and James burned Starfall to ruins and pulled out this'Dawn God The spiritual symbol of the sword family. The second family is the Elenwood family. The Earl of Anders of this family was too loyal to Prince Doran to surrender. He represented a loyal flag among the Dorn nobles, and Will decided to slaughter.
Anders promised that Princess Arianne would stick to Ellenwood City for half a year, but he did not have many warriors. His son Claytus was a brave general, but he followed Prince Quentin to the other side of the narrow sea. , So far no news. He lost a big helper. His daughter Ian Ellenwood is not a military commander. Fortunately, his son-in-law Sir Roger Ellione is not bad. Although the city of Grace of the Roger family was looted by the enemy, Roger Ellione stayed By his father-in-law's side, he assisted Anders in garrisoning Irenewood City.
In addition, his nephew Archibald Ellenwood is also a strong general, but it is a pity that Archibald also went with Prince Quentin to the other side of the narrow sea, when Daenerys was privately in the Red Fort of King’s Landing. When he formed an alliance with Will and did not come to know Prince Lang, Anders was full of anger at Daenerys and worried about his son and nephew.
Daenerys’s refusal to come to Dorne was also one of the reasons that prompted Prince Dorn of Dorne to decide on independence, and Anders was a staunch supporter of independence.
If the dream is broken, then independence, Anders believes that Donne has no second way to go.
In history, Donne has never been conquered, which makes Anders full of confidence in victory.
*
In the early morning, a big banner was suddenly raised on the hill opposite the city of Irenewood: the crowned stag of the Baratheon family! The sentry on the city wall saw it, and immediately blew the horn of the enemy's situation: woo- woo woo- woo woo-!
The city of Irenwood is like an enemy!
Suddenly, without any warning from the scouts, the enemy appeared on the opposite hill.
Count Anders was taken aback, put on his armor and hurried to the city wall to look.
The whistles of the centurions of the military camps kept ringing.
Irenewood is a big city, a huge city developed from a small military fortress.
If you want to enter Dorne from the storm, you must capture the city of Irenwood.
The city wall is very tall and made up of huge rocks. The east and west sides of the city are steep mountains, and the north and south sides are bone roads. The mountains are not close to the city, but flat ground with buffers. They were dug into two moats and connected to the natural stream formed in the mountains. Finally, the moat disappeared into the mountains on the east and flowed into Dorne. sea.
Count Anders came to the wall and saw the hills and half-hills to the west, enemy troops appeared. There were many flags raised. There was not only one king flag, but the burning flame flag, the Great Wall black crow flag, and the treasure crown. The deer flag, the crown skull flag of King Tomb City, the bald eagle baby flag of Bremen City, the sea monster flag of the Iron Islands, the silver small boat flag of the Farman family in the west, and some strange flags. The Earl of Anders also Never seen.
Sir Roger Allion also came to his father-in-law Anders, and the centurions led the soldiers up the city wall, defending the west and north walls.
The sound of footsteps was uniform, as if the walls were shaking.

0914 Chapter 2
"What's the situation?" Luo Ge was incredulous.
The generals around him were all horrified.
They saw two flags that should never be on the opposite side: the crown skull flag of King Tomb City and the bald eagle baby flag of Bremen City.
Anders said: "The enemy’s suspicion is that King Tomb City is built on a hillside. It is impossible to erect any siege equipment. It is more dangerous than our Irunwood City. It is impossible for the enemy to take King Tomb City. The army is still outside the Crimson Mountains."
When the generals and Luo Ge listened, they nodded, and the generals calmed down.
However, the mountain on the opposite side rang out a folk song. It was a folk song with a local accent, and it was Don's popular song: Don's Beautiful Girl. Immediately afterwards, another vulgar song by Dorn sounded: Dorn's Wife.
These are two songs popular among soldiers, everyone can sing.
On the opposite hillside, the sound of gongs and drums also rang, the noise of people also rang, and some people performed a Dornian dance.
Rouge's mouth was dry, and he had to form this very serious question: "My father, the opposite is Dorn."
The generals looked at each other!
What happened overnight, without warning?
The Dorn people held high the flag of the enemy and sang and danced on the opposite hillside!
"This is the enemy's trick. The people who can speak Dorn in the Crimson Mountains are invited. Don't pay attention to it. We just stick to the wall." Count Anders said in a deep voice.
"My father, is it because Wangzhong City has fallen?" Luo Ge didn't want to ask this question, but he found that he had to ask now.
The situation has changed suddenly, and it takes time to figure out this problem, which is related to the future and destiny of the Dorn people.
"Absolutely impossible!" Earl Anders said firmly, "If the enemy attacks King Tomb City, we will receive Earl Manwood's raven."
"If it is a surprise attack, according to the fact that there is no time to release the raven?" Luo Ge said, "Father, please give me five hundred warriors. I went to the opposite hillside and arrested a few people and asked, and I knew what was going on. "
"I will ask the scholar to release the raven to King Tomb City." Earl Anders said sharply, "King Tomb City is more precarious than our Irunwood City. Even the dragon has never conquered King Tomb City, Rare, don't mess up. Talking disturbs my military spirit."
"Yes, my father!" Luo Ge had to bow to answer.
"Go ask the bachelor to release the raven to Earl Manwood." Anders ordered the guards beside him.
"Yes, my lord!" The guard immediately trot down the city.
Zheng!
A clear and clear metal sound made the eardrums tingle, and even the sound of the wind stopped between heaven and earth.
Zheng!
Another frightening, high-pitched voice cut through the heavens in the mountains, and the sound cut through the space like a sharp knife. The birds and beasts in the mountains and the Shama warriors in the city were all shocked!
With these two mighty and domineering voices, two large birds flew up on the top of the mountain opposite. In a blink of an eye, the birds became very huge, with ferocious heads and tails, bright wings shining with flowing light, golden. His hair was so big that he could not imagine his body, and between those two giant claws, he was holding a huge stone weighing hundreds of catties.
No one has seen such a monster in the thousands of soldiers in Irenwood City.
"Gryphon!" Count Anders shouted.
Lord Will's Griffin has spread throughout the Seven Kingdoms, but the Dornians have never seen it. Anders saw it for the first time, and he guessed that these were two Griffins of Lord Will. In addition, I have never heard of anyone who has such a mighty magical creature.
A big griffon, could it be bigger than a dragon?
After all, no one of the dragons has seen it, but Griffin has seen it with his own eyes.
On the back of the Griffon, there was a man with a black cloak. He couldn't see his face, but he could feel the body as straight as a sword.
"The archer is ready!" Count Anders shouted.
Luo Ge immediately drew his sword and shouted: "The archer is ready!"
"Archers prepare!" the centurions shouted.
On the west wall and the north wall, the soldiers bent their bows and shot their arrows to the sky.
With a whistle from Will, the Griffin suddenly dived, dropping the boulder in his hand diagonally.
Boom!
With a loud noise, the winch of the suspension bridge on the west moat was smashed to pieces. The winch turned frantically, the rope was released with a clatter, and the suspension bridge crashed down the river bank with a loud bang. The suspension bridge almost broke off, and the broken sawdust was flying.
Boom!
There was another loud noise, and a huge boulder fell obliquely, in the middle of the city gate, and the huge iron-clad gate made a painful groan, as if it was about to fall apart. The giant gate swayed, cracking several wooden boards and iron sheets. It is sunken and torn from it, like a huge opening.
"Let go!" Count Anders' face changed drastically.
The power of the Griffin was something he had never thought of before!
Let go! ——Sir Roger shouted, almost hoarse!
Let go! ——The centurions shout together!
Whoosh whoosh!
Countless arrows shot out.
However, the arrow could not even touch the tail feathers of the Griffin, which was too far apart.
The Griffon dropped the boulder and fluttered its wings lightly, and lifted it out of range.
Two griffins hovered over the city of Elenwood, and the voices of clank screamed continuously. The soldiers on the walls of Elenwood were impetuous and wanted to reach out their hands to cover their ears.
The Shama in the city fell to the ground collectively, soft bones!
Will issued an order and the two griffins landed slowly on the opposite slope. On the opposite side of the hillside, cheers rang out. The soldiers looked at each other on the wall of Irenwood.
No one could resist the mighty power of those two griffins.
Count Anders tried his best to stabilize his mind and showed a calm look, but his eyes were still frightened. If the two huge rocks hit the place where he was standing just now, he would have become a meatloaf.
Enemies can rely on Griffins to drop people directly into the city at night, and the natural danger of the city wall is weakened too much at once. Moreover, a huge stone almost smashed the gate of the city, and a few more huge stones would cause the gate to fall suddenly.
He most regarded it as a strong and indestructible city gate. With hundreds of catties of boulders falling from the sky, the endurance suddenly became weak.
The power of this huge magical creature is no longer something ordinary humans can resist.
Just now the Griffin swooped and flew low, and he ordered an arrow to shoot, but the Griffin could completely drop the boulder out of range. Soldiers in the city could only stare at them helplessly.
Roge came to the earl: "Father, we can't stop the griffon's attack."
Anders also understands this. Griffin throws a boulder from the sky, who can stop it? His main castle will also be smashed.
"Pass the order, the carpenter rushed to repair the drawbridge winch and repair the city gate." The earl ordered loudly, "The women and children in the city, the elderly and children, all enter the underground passages of the city. All the archers change to long bows and prepare hard arrows! Swordsmen and long. The spearman finds a place to cover, try not to stand in an exposed position."
An hour later, the city gate, suspension bridge, and winch were all repaired. The broken part of the city gate was replaced with new wooden boards, new iron sheets were reinforced, the winches were replaced with spare winches, and the suspension bridge was reinforced.
As if the enemy saw all this in his eyes, this side had just been repaired, and there were two clanks. On the opposite hillside, two griffins took off again, still holding two boulders on their paws. This time they did not give any bow and arrow shooting distance. , Just in the high sky, the Griffin dropped two huge boulders, banged twice, the boulder flew down obliquely, and hit the gate accurately. The wooden planks of the gate made a terrible cracking sound, and the iron sheets on both sides burst open. , One side bulged and cracked. The crossbar of the city gate broke and a loud noise was made.
The Griffin dropped the boulder and flew down the opposite hillside, enjoying the meat his master gave it.
Although it only takes continuous bombardment to knock down the city gate, Will is not in a hurry. He gave Anders time to send a carpenter to continue repairing the gate.
The strength, eyesight and sling ability of an adult griffin are still above the dragon. The only weakness is that it is not immune to flames, nor can it emit flames.
