Chapter 526 Escape
"Ho-"
The black dragon let out a roar, and the huge figure shuttled through the rain curtain, then swooped down at a high speed, spitting out dragon flames.
boom--
The raging dragon flames poured down, destroying a large number of giant crossbows on the ground, and the soldiers in the storm land screamed and died in the sea of fire.
The corresponding giant dragon swooped down from the sky and had two crossbow bolts inserted into it, but Bellerion didn't care. This pain only aroused its bloodthirsty, and the violent dragon flames continued to clean the earth.
rumbling—
The trebuchet was also submerged in the sea of fire, and the tall shelf collapsed suddenly.
The barrels of kerosene that were about to be poured on the boulder were detonated, making a huge explosion, and the flames soared into the sky and even raised a small mushroom cloud.
"what--"
And more storm soldiers were swallowed by the flames, the water on their bodies was instantly dried up, they let out horrific screams, and then lost their lives in terrible pain.
"Counterattack!"
"Counterattack!"
However, there are still many giant crossbows prepared by the Stormland army, and they were not all burned down under this attack from Balerion.
Some of them are on the flat hillside, and some are hidden in the woods, scattered over a wide area, just afraid of being destroyed by the dragon's flame.
"Quick! Get up quickly!"
In the face of such a mythical creature as a giant dragon, the ambitious Stormtrooper soldiers were directly beaten at first.
However, he lay on the ground and held his head, waiting for the figure of the giant dragon to fly through the sky and regain his life, and then he regained his senses.
"Kill it!"
"Kill this beast!"
The knight of Stormland rode his warhorse and looked up at the dragon above his head and flew into the distance, drawing his sword angrily and roaring angrily.
bang bang bang-
Then there were a few more bursts of giant crossbow bowstrings, and the crossbow bolts shrieked through the air, rushing straight to the sky, but they didn't hit the distant target.
When the dragon is high, the target gets smaller and the crossbow crossbow gets bigger, making it almost impossible to hit the target, their only chance is to hit Balerion as it swoops down.
But the dragon flies extremely fast when it is close to the ground, and a giant crossbow needs the cooperation of several soldiers at the same time.
Two soldiers are responsible for shaking the pull shaft to adjust the shooting angle and aiming, and several soldiers are responsible for pulling the bowstring. launch out.
Therefore, it takes not only great skill but also luck to deal with dragons with a large number of giant crossbows.
"Ho-"
Bellerion's roar filled the sky.
It flew in mid-air, breathing dragon flames to wash the bolts inserted into it, burning them to ashes, and then swooped down again.
The battle has entered a white-hot stage. There is a strong pressure exerted by Bellerion in the sky, and the resistance of the storm army on the ground has become more and more difficult, and even the front lines have begun to shake and become precarious.
And Stannis Baratheon, who had led the Duke of Storm's End and the monarch of Stormlands, could not sit still when he saw this scene.
"Let the cavalry go out."
"Yes, my lord!"
Then he finally played another card, sending the cavalry of Stormland to take the initiative to attack, entangling the cavalry of Targaryen, and protecting the center line from the impact of the flanks.
rumbling—
The cavalry units in the rear of the Stormfield Front began to move.
They were dressed in armor of various families, with colorful coats of arms and decorations on their chests, and the rumble of horses' hooves, the heavy hooves treading on the muddy ground, and then splashing mud.
"kill!"
"Kill all these bastards!"
"Kick them out of our home!"
The cavalry of Stormland had already been gearing up for a long time, and finally waited for the opportunity to attack.
In fact, these cavalry knights were the real main force of the Stormland army. They were all made up of nobles and their family soldiers. They had undergone rigorous training and were naturally not on the same level as the temporarily captured strong men.
Then, with the sound of rumbling iron hooves, the overwhelming stormy cavalry poured into the battlefield, and the situation on the battlefield changed again.
"kill!"
clang clang-
The cavalry wielded their long swords and collided, and their armors rubbed against each other. From time to time, a knight was stabbed by a spear, screamed and fell off the horse.
bang——
Some of the war horses collided suddenly, the war horses neighed in pain, the knights on the horses both fell to the ground, and then pulled out their daggers and rolled on the muddy ground, white knives in and red knives out.
And the golden group's war elephant finally collapsed. This adult male gray elephant was wearing golden armor, but it was full of spears and was bathed in blood.
Behind it were the corpses of Stormland soldiers everywhere, and a flesh-and-blood passage was ploughed out, causing heavy losses to the Stormland army.
"devil…"
Many soldiers looked at this behemoth and watched it trample their comrades into mud.
However, the adult male gray elephant finally couldn't hold on at this time. It finally let out a high whine, and its two sturdy front legs like stone pillars softened, and then collapsed with a bang, hitting the ground heavily.
"devil!"
"This monster is dead!"
"This monster is dead!"
Seeing the war elephant collapse, the soldiers in Stormland couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and then cheered.
However, the fall of a war elephant was not enough to change the situation of the entire war. This vigorous battle of Tongmen City continued from early morning to dusk.
sunset.
The blood of the soldiers on both sides stained the land red, and the drums and trumpets of war continued for a long time. Although Stannis was a battle-hardened commander, he was now also incapable of skill, and all the means he used could not change the situation. the end of the war.
In the end, the storm army was unable to resist the attack of the Targaryen army. Giant dragons danced in the sky, and war elephants roared on the ground. The battle line began to collapse from one point, and then quickly spread to the entire army in an irreversible situation.
"escape!"
"Run away!"
The storm army began to collapse, even if Stannis personally went to the battle to oversee the battle, and led the overseer team to kill deserters, he could not stop the soldiers from escaping.
Even some members of the supervising team were killed by the deserter with a sword, and the two sides suddenly became tense. The supervising team and the deserter fought together, and the scene was completely out of control.
"Lord Stannis!"
"The war is over, retreat back to Storm's End!"
The Onion Knight rushed to Stannis's side and said anxiously.
"I will not abandon my soldiers!"
Stannis's face was covered in blood, and he had just slashed and killed several deserters, but he couldn't stop the war from collapsing.
"You are the commander-in-chief of the entire army, not some fucking infantry!"
Davos was so anxious that he couldn't help but swear, and then he winked at the guard next to Stannis.
The guards immediately understood, and they mounted Stannis and took him to the warhorse, while Stannis symbolically resisted and scolded a few times, but he was still mounted on the warhorse by the guards.
He rode on horseback, turned his head to take a last look at the storm soldiers who were being slaughtered one-sidedly, with a look of unwillingness on his face, and finally his legs were tucked into the horse's stomach.
"Walk!"
He then fled the battlefield surrounded by his own soldiers.
