Chapter 545 Attacking the Old Town

"Archer!"

"Archer! Hurry up!"

"Array here!"

The Dornish army approached the city, the gate of the old town was closed, and the soldiers of the city garrison hurriedly boarded the city wall and were preparing to defend against the Dornish attack.

The walls of the old town are not tall, and the soldiers of the garrison are not elite. It has been breached many times in history, respectively, the king of Dorne, Samwell Dayne, the iron king Corey Hall, And Gales Gardener I, King of the Reach.

Among them, the River Bend King Gales Gardener I broke through the old town and sold three-quarters of the residents here as slaves, but he still failed to capture the towering tower of the Hightower family in the end.

woo-

Then, on the silent battlefield in the distance, the horns of the Dorn army rang out melodiously.

wow wow wow-

The formation of the Dorn army was awe-inspiring, walking in neat steps, with no end in sight.

The soldiers of Dorne wear the characteristic sand-yellow uniforms of Dorne, leather armor stitched with metal scales, and helmets with turbans on their heads.

The cavalry rode on tall desert horses, armed with scimitars and round shields and carried short spears behind their backs, while the Dorne infantry held spears and shields, and the archers carried quivers and double-arc longbows on their backs. It is also a machete.

The banners of various Dornish nobles flew, the most numerous of which were the Golden Spear Banner of House Martell, followed closely by the banner of House Ellenwood, the commander of Dorne.

The Dane family of Starfall City, the Tolan family of Ouroboros, the Uller family of Prison Gate Castle, etc., and even the Fowler family of Celestial Pole City, which is known to be estranged from the Ylenwood family.

"The whole army obeys!"

"Prepare to attack!"

Then, under the orders of Lord Anders Yronwood, the commander-in-chief, an attack on Old Town was launched.

Clang——

The soldiers of Dorne pulled out the scimitars at their waists, held their shields high, and killed the Old Town.

"kill!"

boom boom-

And the temporarily built war weapons in the rear were roaring, and the huge boulders burning with flames flew into the sky, densely packed, dragging long black smoke, and then fell heavily.

Some flaming boulders smashed on the city wall and made a loud noise, while others were smashing on the top of the city. The soldiers of the Hightower family screamed, and a large number of people were killed and injured.

A flaming boulder flew over the head of the old town and fell into the building behind.

boom--

The houses of ordinary dwellings are not as hard as the city walls, and they are instantly smashed by the boulders thrown by the trebuchets.

But fortunately, the owner of this family had escaped the old town with his family and his family before the war and survived.

The boulder was wrapped in kerosene, and flames burst out from the ruins of the house in an instant, and flames and thick smoke began to rise.

The city scenery of the old town is very beautiful, with trickling streams and large rivers, plus the dotted canals with cobblestone streets, forming a clean and refreshing urban landscape.

Although Oldtown is equally populated, it is not as dense as King's Landing, the dunghill King's Landing that has become the political center of Westeros because of its power.

However, the arrival of the war broke the peace and harmony of the old town, and the fire gradually began to burn, engulfing the ruins of the houses.

"Extinguishing!"

"quick!"

"Extinguishing!"

The third son of Lord Leighton Hightower, the Keeper of Old Town, Ser Gunthor Hightower is now beneath the walls.

He nervously commanded the soldiers of the Hightower family to quickly extinguish the flames to prevent the fire from continuing to spread, resulting in disastrous consequences.

On the city wall, Garth Hightower, nicknamed 'Grey Iron', the brother of Ser Gunthor Hightower and the second son of Earl Leighton Hightower, was leading the battle.

Their elder brother, the "farting" Baelor Hightower, took command of the expedition and died in the Mead River. The other brothers of the Hightower family naturally have to take on the big responsibility.

"Archer!"

Garth Hightower, clad in armor and fully armed, stood on the city wall of the old town, pulled out the long sword around his waist and looked at the Dornish army that was charging aggressively, then roared angrily.

"Archer!"

"preparation!"

"Fire arrows!"

bang bang bang-

With the order of the second son of Earl Layton, Gars Hightower, the soldiers of the Old Town Guard raised their bows and arrows, and the overwhelming arrows fell.

On the other side, the Dorn army was fully prepared.

"Raise your shield!"

"Raise your shield!"

The eldest son of Sandstone City, Sir Gulian Cogle, saw the defenders at the top of the city firing arrows, drew the machete at his waist, and shouted.

The soldiers of Dorne raised their shields to cover their heads in unison, and the overwhelming rain of arrows fell like raindrops, hitting the shields above the heads of the soldiers of Dorne, making a bang-bang sound.

However, some arrows still penetrated the gaps in the shield formation, and the soldiers who were recruited screamed and fell to the ground.

Afterwards, the soldiers of the Dornish army, who were under the dense rain of arrows, held their shields and carried ladders on their shoulders, and finally came to the city wall of the old town.

"quick!"

"Set up the ladder!"

"Set up the ladder!"

A knight of the prison gate family was directing the soldiers to ascend the city, but he was caught off guard by a drain and shot in the chest, screamed and fell off his horse heavily.

However, although the old town garrison resisted desperately and fought back desperately, the ladders were successfully erected.

"Climb to the city!"

"Climb to the city!"

Compared with the famous fortresses and cities of the Seven Nations, the city walls of the old town are not very tall and strong. The soldiers of Dorne assumed the ladder on the city wall, and then began to bravely climb the city.

Because Lord Anders Yronwood, commander of the armies of Dorne, promised a thousand golden dragons to be awarded to the soldiers who first climbed the walls of Old Town.

"kill!"

The Dornish warriors held the round shield in one hand and the ladder in the other, and charged towards the city wall of the old town, shouting loudly.

bang bang bang-

The soldiers of the old town garrison on the city wall kept shooting arrows, hoping to stop the attack of the Dorn army.

Many Dornish soldiers climbed halfway and were hit by a stone, fell to the ground, broke their legs, and screamed.

"attack!"

The screams of killing and screaming came one after another, and the Dorn army stormed the old town. The two sides fought fiercely, and the battle was extremely tragic, which lasted for half a day.

However, the soldiers of the old town garrison resisted desperately, but they couldn't resist.

After the Battle of Star Shuttle City, the Dorne army gathered the remnants of defeated soldiers, and another wave of fresh blood joined in to regroup to attack the old town.

The soldiers of the old town had been wiped out in the battle of Star Shuttle City, leaving only temporarily recruited mercenaries and wandering knights, and even captured strong men.

"Stand your ground!"

"Fight to the death!"

Ser Garth Hightower, the second son of the Hightower family on the city wall, was disgraced and devastated at the moment.

He desperately directed the soldiers to block the hole back and forth, but he couldn't block the battle that was gradually riddled with holes.

Soon, more and more Dornish soldiers flooded the walls.

The gates of the old town were opened.
