Chapter 432 The Battle of Riverrun
"Combine!"
"Combine!"
In the face of the Dothraki cavalry rushing in from the sky and covering the sky, dense orders sounded from the coalition camp around the Red Fork River.
The nobles of the Seven Kingdoms swore to defend against dragons and barbarians, defending the traditional glory of Westeros as defenders of the civilized world.
And the Dothraki's attack methods are flexible and changeable, like staring at a prey, constantly exhausting their nerves, until they are exhausted, and they bite their necks again.
"Hoohoho~"
The Dothraki rode on war horses and wielded scimitars. They circled around the formation of the coalition army, constantly making harsh howls, which put a great deal of psychological pressure on the coalition soldiers.
And the giant dragon hovered in the sky, and the vibrating wings swept over the heads of the coalition forces, which made them shudder.
bang——
bang——
The bowstrings of the coalition forces made a sound, and the arrows fired by the two giant crossbows broke through the air and made a sharp sound, flying straight into the sky, but they were deviated by 108,000 miles.
huh~
The black dragon spreads its wings and flies in the sky. It is far away from the ground, and the crossbow of the giant crossbow is very random. If you want to hit the giant dragon, you must predict its position in advance, and judge the influence of the wind at high altitude on the crossbow arrow, luck factor accounted for more.
In fact, if you want to hit the dragon with a giant crossbow, the best chance is when the dragon flies down and breathes flames. The closer the distance, the greater the chance of hitting and the damage caused to the dragon.
More than a dozen giant crossbows fired simultaneously at close range may have one or two bolts hitting Balerion.
In the previous battle of the Twins City, the opponent was caught off guard like this, but unfortunately it didn't hit the key point of the dragon. Other parts were covered with thick scales, and even if the crossbow bolt penetrated through it, it was difficult to cause great damage. It was useless like being pricked by a needle.
The coalition army's use of giant crossbows to launch crossbow arrows is actually a test, hoping to scare off the giant dragon.
But it is a pity that Bellerion is not afraid at all, but it reminds him of some bad memories.
"Ho-"
The giant dragon flew in the sky and made a low roar that spread far away.
On the ground, Viserys rode a snow-white warhorse with brocade-like hair, tall and strong thighs, and piercing eyes.
The warhorse has followed Viserys for many years, but Viserys has rarely fought alongside this companion since he could ride a dragon.
Today Viserys decided to play in person and let Bellerion play freely.
woo-
The desolate horn sounded in the distance, and the white horse under Viserys' crotch was restlessly stepping on its hooves, as if eager to try.
He was wearing a bright Valyrian steel armor, holding a long spear made of pure steel, and the gun slammed gently on the ground, and the dust was agitated.
His strength has already broken through the extraordinary, and now he is close to the next level. The wooden gun barrels used by ordinary people are naturally not suitable for him, and he does not need to use the gun barrel to unload the force. The pure steel long gun weighing dozens of pounds is for him. The same can be easily swung.
"Kaor."
Kago, who followed Viserys, was wearing animal skin armor, his legs bound by the horse's mane were tightly tucked into the horse's stomach, and he was carrying a Valyrian steel machete in his hand, with a bow and arrow behind his back. The warhorse under his crotch also seemed to be eager to try.
Kago turned his head and looked at Viserys beside him, while Viserys looked into the distance, reined in the reins of the war horse, and finally nodded slightly.
next second.
woo~
The horns in the Dothraki camp finally sounded.
"Hoohoho~"
The Dothraki, who surrounded the coalition camp in all directions, rushed towards the coalition formation in the center, surging like a rising tide in the sea.
rumbling—
The horses’ hooves galloped and shook the eardrums, and the ground was shaking slightly. The coalition soldiers formed a battle and held the long contradiction card in their hands. They swallowed and spit. They felt that the stones in the grass under their feet were beating gently.
"Everyone!"
"Raise your shield!"
Wearing dark golden armor and a red cloak, Duke Tywin rode a warhorse to patrol the front and personally commanded the battle.
The king is still resting in Riverrun, and the acting commander is naturally Tywin Lannister. His face is serious and meticulous, and he doesn't seem to be afraid at all, and his red cloak flutters in the wind.
"Raise your shield!"
"Put up the spear!"
Not far away, on the river running city surrounded by water on three sides.
"Lord Duke, please be careful."
As the guardian of the riverlands, Horst Tully of the Duke of Riverrun, with the help of his guards, climbed to the top of the city.
Seeing the overwhelming savages rush towards the coalition forces in the distance, his face was slightly ugly.
"These savages"
He hasn't personally experienced the human-Wall wars, so he has some confusion about Viserys' strength.
Edmure had told him about it, but the old duke didn't listen to the old duke's stubbornness.
He actually had some regrets after saying those harsh words yesterday. His original intention was to show the integrity of the Tully family, and by the way, he wanted more chips at the negotiating table in the future.
After all, River River City is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It only takes two hundred people to resist the attack of an army of tens of thousands of people. Moreover, there is a large amount of supplies hoarded under River River City, which can maintain people and horses for two years.
What's more, there are now tens of thousands of coalition troops to help defend the city, more than twice as many as the son of the mad king on the opposite side.
Horst Tully didn't think the coalition would lose, at least not too badly.
Today, however, he climbed the city wall and saw the dragon for the first time.
"Ho-"
Bellerion let out a roar, and then swooped down from the sky. Dozens of giant crossbows on the ground below fired their bolts at the same time, but they were all flashed by it one by one.
rumbling—
Then the turbulent dragon flames impacted the ground, and the formation formed by the coalition forces was instantly torn apart by the impact of the dragon flames.
"Hoohoho~"
The rushing Dothraki howled and waved their machetes, rushing in along the openings that the dragon had ripped open for them.
clang clang
There was the sound of metal crashing everywhere.
puff--
A Dothraki wielded a machete and slashed the throat of a Lannister soldier in red and black armor, and the body fell to the ground.
"Go to hell!"
Another Reach spearman in plate armor roared, and a spear pierced a warhorse under the crotch of a Dothraki.
The warhorse neighed in pain, but it also knocked the spearman out like a high-speed car, and fell heavily to the ground.
bang——
However, before he could get up from the ground, the chaotic and noisy hooves stepped over him.
A horse's hoof stepped on his head, and his cheeks were instantly blurred, and the Reach soldiers let out a howl of pain.
Then, the war horse that came up from behind smashed its head directly, and the sound was like crushing an ice cream ball, and the ground was smeared with bright red and milky white.
