Chapter 524 The Last Storm
The early morning sky was still a little gray, and the light rain was still falling on the battlefield where the two armies faced each other.
woo~
The melodious sound of the horns that suddenly came out of the Targaryen army quickly rang through the whole world.
As the commander-in-chief of the entire army, Mies Toin had great confidence in his soldiers, so he directly ordered the entire army to attack.
The endless Targaryen army finally began to move under his order. The formation that had just been neatly arranged was like a rock that was immobile, resolute and awe-inspiring. Now, with the command of the commander, the entire army suddenly turned into flowing water. , like the tide of the rising tide of the sea, it rushed towards the army of the stormy land located on the high point of the south slope of Tongmen City.
"The spearmen are on the periphery!"
"Prepare the shield wall!"
In the Storm Land army, Stannis also rode his horse at a high place, surrounded by guards, overlooking the entire battlefield.
He saw that the Targaryen army took the initiative to attack, his blue eyes were calm, his complexion remained the same, his back was straight, and he calmly conveyed orders.
"Go and get the trebuchet ready."
"Tell the Crossbow Field to cheer up and watch out for Viserys' dragon."
"Yes, my lord!"
The messenger heard Stannis's order, and immediately pulled the reins to turn the horse's head, and ran to the position of the trebuchet in the distance.
The Stormland army gathered all the resources to create many weapons of war, most of which were giant crossbows that could threaten dragons.
The other part is a trebuchet, a weapon that can pose a huge threat to the city wall, but at the same time it can also cause a great deterrent to soldiers.
The lethality is secondary, mainly because the overwhelming boulders fall down, which is even more unparalleled in deterrence.
"Trap, get ready!"
"Trap, get ready!"
The officers of the Storm Land Army roared loudly after receiving the order of Lord Stannis.
bang bang
The boulders were pushed by the soldiers to the launching pad of the trebuchet, tied with ropes, and then poured with kerosene with a clatter, and then a soldier held a torch and lit the boulders covered with kerosene.
squeak-
The soldiers at the bottom stirred the rope of the trebuchet vigorously, the winch made a sound, the huge trebuchet started to operate, and the huge stone burning with flames was suddenly thrown out.
boom boom-
The overwhelming boulders drew a picture in the air like a meteor falling from the sky, with black smoke dragging behind it, and then crashed down.
The Targaryen army let out a shrill scream, and several flesh and blood passages were ploughed out by the trebuchet, and the formation was a little scattered in an instant.
"kill!"
However, more soldiers in golden armor did not retreat, and rushed up to take advantage of this gap.
"Archer, get ready!"
"Archer!"
"Archers! Attention!"
The storm army was noisy and chaotic, and their command system was still in the primitive stage of inefficiency.
The knights ran and roared loudly, looking for the soldiers of their family, and then the soldiers behind the rows with bows and arrows stood up and took off the bows and arrows behind them.
"Take an arrow!"
All the archers drew arrows from their quivers and put them on the bowstrings.
"Zhang Gong!"
Then he pulled the bowstring carrying the arrow, half-raised his arm and pointed diagonally towards the sky ahead.
"put!"
Then, with an order, a rain of black arrows flew out, flew into the air, and then fell overwhelmingly with the raindrops.
Puff puff--
Arrows fell like raindrops to the attacking Targaryen army, and I don't know how many soldiers fell, and some were inserted into the soil.
"Raise your shield!"
"Raise your shield!"
bang bang bang-
The Targaryen soldiers in golden armor held their shields high above their heads, and the arrows rained down and made a bang-bang sound, causing their arms to go numb slightly.
However, the soldiers wiped the rain from a handful of faces, holding up their shields and continuing to march towards the army of the stormy land.
Catapults and bows alone cannot stop the advance of the Targaryen army.
"It's your turn, Bellerion."
On the other hand, Viserys rode a warhorse on the hill, reins on the reins with one hand, calmly surveyed the entire battlefield, then turned his head slightly, and said in a calm voice.
"Ho-"
A huge and ferocious dragon head appeared beside him at some point, a pair of scarlet eyes, and a low roar sounded from his mouth, as if responding to his partner.
boom--
Then Bellerion took another two steps forward, the ground trembled slightly, and the warhorse under Viserys' crotch was hoofs uneasily.
If it hadn't been for Viserys' warhorse, he had seen the dragon many times, and at such a close distance, it would have been frightened into the nest.
"They have a lot of giant crossbows, so be careful."
Viserys spoke again, reminding him that the breeze from the top of the mountain ruffled his hair.
"Roar--"
Bellerion let out a roar again, and responding to Viserys's exhortation also seemed to vent his grievances during this period of time, and then the dragon took a few steps forward, and suddenly fluttered its wings and flew directly into the sky.
…
In the distance, the Targaryen army and the army of the storm land have begun to face each other.
"kill!"
Deafening screams of killing broke out from both sides. People were next to each other, people were crowding, and they raised their swords and slashed at each other's heads, followed by the sound of dense swords piercing flesh and blood, and the sound of armor rubbing against each other. .
Puff puff--
The screams came one after another.
"Kill them all! Take back our home!"
The commander of the Golden Corps, Mies Toin, rode a high-headed horse, dressed in golden armor, and had grizzled beards.
"go home!"
"go home!"
"go home!"
The roar of the mountain and the tsunami suddenly erupted from the golden regiment, and with each roar, the morale of the entire army suddenly rose by one point.
"kill!"
Then these morale turned into pressure on the front of the storm army, and even began to show some signs of retreat.
Most of the soldiers and officers in the Golden Corps were from Westeros who had participated in the Blackfire Rebellion and were forced into exile on the continent of Essos.
However, they were fortunate to meet the Master, and Viserys issued an edict pardoning the Golden Corps, allowing them to go home, winning the loyalty of all the Golden Corps soldiers.
"withstand!"
"Everyone stand up!"
"Don't go back!"
"Think about your family!"
"What will happen to them if they are defeated!"
Seeing that the front line was gradually retreating, the Storm Land army was being beaten and retreated, and the nobles in the rear finally couldn't sit still.
Stannis personally stepped forward to supervise the battle, and led the supervising team to kill a lot of deserters in a row. This stabilized the situation and regained a firm footing. After all, the number of Stormland troops still had an advantage.
However, when Stannis was just taking a breath, he suddenly felt the ground under his feet tremble slightly, and there was a rumbling sound in the distance.
Stannis raised his head, and then saw a huge behemoth in golden armor, with soldiers riding on it, surrounded by countless cavalry, who were attacking the two flanks of the army with heavy steps.
