Chapter 652 Breaking the Prince's Pass

There is no way to do this. After calming down, the city owner of Tianji hopes that this matter can be turned into a small matter, but it is a pity that the nobles of the River Bend do not intend to let him go.

The aggressive Chen Bing of the nobles of the Reach was certainly not in order to conquer the pass before the Prince's Pass. Only two thousand people were not enough to shake this pass from the front, especially since there were also two thousand people stationed in this pass.

They just wanted to make this a big deal, and everyone in the whole country knew about it, so that the murderer Franklin Fowler could not escape the punishment of the law.

Therefore, Count Fowler has been actively running after retreating to the Prince's Pass.

One is to get in touch with the nobles of the Reach, hoping to give some benefits in exchange for everyone's understanding, but was rejected.

On the other hand, he also actively contacted other Dornish nobles to gain momentum. The greater the momentum, the greater the chance of him surviving. Just like the people who borrowed a lot of money are uncles, if they are 'zhao'an' in the future, they will have no chance. happened.

However, now he has started to write a letter of pleading for mercy, hoping that Prince Doran can look at the past and plead for His Majesty the King on his behalf.

In fact, since this incident broke out, except that Prince Doran wrote him a letter to ask him what happened, the two have never exchanged any letters.

Franklin Fowler is now without any confidence, and is even in a state of panic.

On the other side, the soldiers of the King's Army who quietly infiltrated the Prince's Pass began a secret operation.

The Dornish people are divided into salt people, stone people and sand people. Not all of them have the appearance close to the Loyna people. For example, the stone people are white skin, blue eyes, and the king's army mixed into the prince's pass. Among the soldiers, there were many Reach soldiers and knights, and there were also Royna warriors drawn from the Second Legion.

They mixed in the team and became the most perfect cover, except for the obvious loopholes in their accents, there were no other flaws.

So the Dornish soldiers who were defending the city let them in without any suspicion.

Infiltrated into the Prince's Pass, they have a place to rest. The members of the supply team will stay in these rooms, and they will return to King's Tomb City the next morning, while the knight of the Oakheart family is watching Di. Ken Manwoody, prevent him from doing anything wrong.

"What's next, my lord?"

At this moment, one of the soldiers of the King's Army looked at Sir Caswell, the commander of their trip.

On the other hand, the Knight of the Bridge of Bitterness had a contemplative expression on his face. He thought for a moment, and then said.

"Lord Hand of the King has asked us to set a fire at the Prince's Pass."

"In this case, we will look for a place to store supplies in the city."

If you want to set off a big fire, then kerosene is the most indispensable tool. As a weapon of war, flame is needed for both siege and defense. Therefore, every city must have kerosene reserves.

According to general experience, most of these kerosene will be stored with military supplies. If you find the warehouse at the Prince's Pass, you can find the kerosene, and then you can take the opportunity to set a fire.

In the tent of the King's Barracks stationed in front of the Prince's Pass.

The night was shrouded in darkness, and the central army tent was still brightly lit.

As the commander-in-chief of the entire army, the former Prime Minister of the Iron Throne, Jon Clinton, has had some headaches recently, and the reason for his worry is naturally how to conquer the Prince's Pass.

There are 4,000 soldiers in his hands, and there are also 2,000 soldiers of the Fowler family who are defending the city. Although the soldiers of the Kingdom's army are twice as many as the opponent's, the opponent has the advantage of defending the city. A great price may not be able to attack down.

However, this matter could not be delayed. After all, this matter was asked for his own life at the beginning, and the battlefield changed after a while. The longer it dragged on, the less he knew what would happen.

He hoped that the fifty warriors who had been dispatched at the beginning could successfully implement the surprise attack plan, but after so many days, there was still no news.

Even though Jon Clinton had full confidence in his plan this time, he couldn't help but wonder if it had failed. These fifty soldiers had already been damaged in Dorne, and had even been decapitated. , picked the city wall to demonstrate.

However, Jon Clinton ran to the Prince's Pass every once in a while to look and saw no newly cut heads, which gave him the last bit of hope for the success of the plan.

But at this time.

"grown ups!"

"grown ups!"

The commanders in the Central Army tent were discussing the strategy of breaking the city. There were sudden shouts and footsteps outside. One of the Prime Minister's guards that Jon had brought in from King's Landing hurried in and shouted loudly. opened his mouth.

"Sir! Go outside and have a look!"

"There seems to be a fire in the Prince's Pass!"

"what?"

The guard's words instantly ignited all the generals and commanders in the Chinese army tent, and they all rushed to the outside of the tent.

Then I saw a huge fire burning in the ancient Xiongguan in the distance. The fire light illuminated the sky, and the billowing smoke was constantly filling the air.

"They made it!"

"The plan was successful."

The nobles of the Reach and the commander of the Second Legion were all talking, and the gray-red-haired man couldn't help but clenched his fist slightly, then turned his head and said loudly.

"Come on!"

"Prepare to attack the city!"

A huge fire broke out in the Prince's Pass, and the soldiers of the King's Army had already been exhausted after being blocked for more than half a month since the arrival of the reinforcements outside the pass.

"kill!"

Immediately, the soldiers of the King's Army launched a violent siege towards the Prince's Pass under the orders of the commander-in-chief, Hand of the King, Jon Clinton.

The Dornish soldiers in the city were panicked, trying to put out the burning flames while defending the siege of the king's army.

The command system of the Dornish army was in complete disarray, the soldiers could not find the generals, and the generals could not find any soldiers, and the merciless fire was still devouring the fresh life at the same time.

In the end, the war lasted for a whole night, and the curtain came to an end when the sky just cleared.

The soldiers of the King's Army entered the Prince's Pass, and the defenders in the city surrendered with the dead, wounded and wounded, and the old falcon, Count Franklin Fowler, who was the 'Guardian of the Pass', noticed that the situation was not right. In one step, he abandoned the city and fled to his hometown, Tianji City.
