Chapter 1036: Siege

Popular recommendation:

When the war reaches this stage, it is plunged into endless anxiety and tension.

The defenders stood behind the walls, while the surrounding army attacked every day and every night.

At midnight, the trebuchets outside the city threw in a few boulders and blew the horn, which shocked the defenders in the city.

On the second day when Yin Meng discovered that his brother Helos had left quietly, Helos rode his mount, Overlord Terex, and flew back to the battlefield of High Court from the far north.

With a giant dragon as a means of transportation, it didn't take too long to travel to and from the Great Wall of Despair.

And the return of Helos brought two good news that cheered the imperial army outside the city.

The first is that the traitor Tyrion Lannister is dead.

The second was the successful engagement of Prince Regent Heros Targaryen and his sister Diana Targaryen.

The prince regent and the eldest princess formed an alliance, and this time the battle for the right of inheritance was completely eliminated, so the defenders outside the city couldn't help cheering.

There was a loud noise from outside the city, and after listening carefully, I finally understood what was going on.

Prince Helos and Princess Diana entered into a marriage contract, which once again brought the morale of the defenders in Highgarden to rock bottom.

Now the only expectation of the whole army is that Princess Diana can join her side, reverse the whole situation, and turn defeat into victory.

However, now Princess Diana has made a marriage contract with Prince Helos, which shattered Yin Meng's hopes from the top to the commander and down to the soldiers.

Moreover, Lord Tyrion Lannister, who was Prince Yin Meng's biggest political support, died on the way, which made everyone think about their future even more.

If you lose the battle, will you end up like Tyrion?

The morale of the defenders in the city is low, and the enemies outside the city will naturally not miss this opportunity.

In fact, such news was deliberately released by them, the purpose was to dampen the morale of the enemy.

Oberyn then personally directed the battle, and the Imperial forces outside the city attacked Highgarden.

The endless imperial troops spread across the plains of the Reach. They held their weapons high, their armors were bright, their banners were constantly waving, and they were uniform and chilling.

rumbling—

Then, before the siege weapons built by the craftsmen department of King's Landing were pushed into battle, the ferocious giant crossbows and catapults pointed directly at the defenders on the city wall.

Helos called his brother Yin Meng out of the city to surrender, but when he was rejected, he started to attack.

boom--

The trebuchets loaded with boulders roared, and the boulders flew into the sky one by one, and then fell down and smashed against the city wall.

"Siege!"

"Rush rush!"

While on the ground, the Imperial army was well-trained under Oberyn's command.

They lined up in an orderly manner, carrying ladders on their shoulders and charging towards the bottom of the city wall under the cover of catapults and giant crossbows.

They were followed by archers, and then when they reached the distance that the bows and arrows could reach, the archers stopped and drew bows and arrows under the command of the commander.

"Archer!"

"Prepare!"

"Fire arrows!"

Pumbaa --

The overwhelming rain of arrows also hit the head of High Court City.

"Kill them!"

The defenders on the walls of High Court were equally stubbornly resisting.

Originally, High Court City was not enough to accommodate so many troops, but for the needs of the war, they demolished many houses, set up tents to accommodate them, and used these demolished buildings as weapons for defending the city.

"kill!"

There was an overwhelming rain of arrows and boulders overhead, and the imperial soldiers carrying the ladders on their shoulders had successfully rushed to the city of High Court under cover.

Then a cloud ladder was placed on the city wall, and the soldiers, holding swords and shields, directly climbed the ladder, crowded together like ants moving house, and lined up densely to attack the city head.

The defenders at the head of the city saw this scene and naturally showed no mercy. They had already prepared a large number of siege weapons for the enemy to use.

The siege ladder was already full of soldiers, and there was a pot of hot oil on the top of the city.

Immediately, several soldiers came to the edge of the city wall with hot oil, and poured it down on the compatriots who were climbing the ladder below.

"Do not!"

"No no no!"

They were halfway up the ladder, and when they looked up, they saw a hot oil pan placed in front of them. The imperial soldiers on the ladder suddenly panicked and shouted for mercy, but the hot oil rushed to their face. Come.

"what--"

The scalding hot oil was poured directly on the top of the enemy's head, and even a shield could not stop it.

The first imperial soldier on the ladder was splashed with hot oil on his face, and his skin burst into flames in an instant. He let out a shrill scream, and fell from the ladder.

The back was blocked with a shield, but the hot oil penetrated through the gap in the armor. The hard and thick armor was matched with the hot hot oil, which was like a large BBQ teppanyaki.

The hot oil was poured down, and the imperial soldiers on the ladder jumped down from the ladder with a scream like dumplings.

However, although these measures were effective for a short time, they could not stop the offensive of the Helos army. The front jumped down~www.NovelMTL.com~ and the people behind continued to climb the ladder.

After the hot oil is used up, the next step is the rolling wood and stone, and the building materials used to demolish the houses in High Garden City are useful.

The defenders continued to smash down with stones and logs in their arms, also screaming in agony.

"what--"

"Forgive me."

The Imperial soldier on the ladder was smashed to the ground from a height of several meters.

The battlefield was chaotic, and the enemy's attack was once again repelled, but it did not wait for the defenders on the city to be happy for too long.

puff--

Then a cold arrow shot directly through the throat of a defender from the front of the battlefield, and his body also fell from the city head.

The brutality of the siege battle was gradually revealed at this time.

On the other side, Attis, the giant king of the Kingsguard of Helos, once again went into battle in person.

Wearing heavy armor, he was more than four meters tall and rammed, almost more effective than a city hammer. He led a part of the army straight to the city gate of High Court.

boom--

boom--

boom--

Then, with a loud bang, Artis' fist slammed on the city gate one by one, and the city gate trembled violently, making the guards on the city head feel numb.

"shoot!"

"Shoot him!"

"Where's the kerosene!"

Pumbaa --

A random arrow shot at Artis, but the thick armor on his body did not even break open.

"Um…"

The occasional arrow that got into the gap of the armor just made Artis groan, not shaken at all.

Still smashing the city gate of the High Court with the hammer.

The gates of Highgarden have begun to crumble.
