The king on the Great Wall

There were screams and groans one after another, but after the first round of long-range attacks, Asha found that there were far fewer people fallen around her than expected.Only one or two unlucky people were shot to death, and some people had arrows stuck in their bodies, but they didn't lose their combat power... Before she could react, the stones of different sizes fell in the second round.

……

"The army on the other side is not led by wolf cubs, they don't even have enough bows and arrows!" Asha quickly discovered the truth from the attack strength of the arrow rain and the shabby and strange appearance of the stones, and she was refreshed: "Brothers, hold on, We can win!"

The ironborn, cheered by the discovery that the enemy might be just a handful of impromptu farmers, rushed towards the Landgrant like wolves, chanting the name and prayers of the Drowned God.

One side is fairly well-equipped and experienced elite looters, while a group of land-grants who can't even hold a single iron weapon and only have more than 2000 bows for 100 people, even if they are trained The seasoned recruits of the night watchman industry have only experienced a few actual battles... Although they have a huge numerical advantage, it is hard to say whether they will win or lose.

Standing on the mound behind and observing the battlefield surrounded by dozens of clan warriors, Iger reluctantly admitted the fact that his own combat power was weaker than the opponent's, but he didn't intend to just let his own people fight the enemy head-to-head.It took less than half an hour to get here with the land-grant army, no time to set any traps or ambushes, luckily...he had something else.

The charge of the ironmen quickly approached one side of the encirclement, but as the mountain clansmen in the front row threw the ball-shaped unidentified objects in their hands, amidst the crisp sound of the earthen pot breaking, a pan appeared between the two armies. A wall of fire glowing with faint green light.

The flame is only as wide as one person, and less than two people tall... But its color and heat frighten the Ironborn in their desperate charge. In the eyes of the Iron Islanders who worship the sea and believe in the Drowned God, "being burned to death" is the worst thing in the world. Terrible way of death: the body is reduced to ashes in the flames, and after death, it will be lost forever on the way to find the Drowned God's flowing water palace.

This green flame that can burn blazingly on the wet seaside tidal flat will definitely make people lose their fighting power in an instant!

The oncoming heat abruptly choked the ironborn's charge, and Asha led the crew to turn around, preparing to bypass the fire.

"Ping ping pong pong-"

With another crisp sound, the second and third walls of fire formed again.Asha quickly understood the enemy's strategy—there was no suspense, no matter which direction the Ironborn chose to break through, this ghost thing was waiting for them.

Go all out, then decline again, and exhaust three times. Under the huge disadvantage, once the momentum of charging stops, the victory or defeat will be announced.

"Coward!" She threw a throwing ax at the enemy through the firewall, and shouted in despair: "There is no honor at all! What about your commander, if you are a man, come and fight!"

No one paid any attention to her, and what responded to her was the third round of arrow rain and stones with average lethality, and the encirclement circle was closed to a diameter of less than 100 meters—two thousand land-grant residents said it was a lot less, but in fact, it could form an encirclement circle, if The ironmen were able to break through the encirclement and escape by killing through a row with one effort.But now, amidst the roars from all directions, Asha and her crew were completely overwhelmed by enemies ten times their size. The weapon advantage is completely wiped out.

It was indeed a battle without honour, with no singers to sing it, no maesters to record it in books, no banners to fly, no trumpets to cry, no great lord to call his men and give a deafening pre-battle speech .They fought in the faint light of dawn, unable to see each other's faces clearly, and only had killing intent in their eyes.

They stopped shouting "Long live Winterfell", which was Asha's last thought before being knocked down by a few people... They are now shouting: "Surrender without killing."

Chapter 259

Asha knew very well why she was still alive.

After losing to Uncle Euron in the king's election, and being led by a night watchman in Deepwood Castle to help the peasants flee the city in fright, she was finally defeated and captured by the sea... She is no longer the proud one. Daughter of the Kraken, but a trophy of some fellow in black, a captive used to show the North how the Night's Watch defeated the Ironborn.

She once thought that the plan of invading the northern border made by her father and herself was enough to let her imagination run free... But——the night watchman actually sent troops south to rescue the northern border?This unheard-of, fantasy-like change in the battle situation was not considered at any level and how well-considered a combat meeting was, until she was tied up and sent to the so-called general logistics staff in black. In front of the official, she had to accept this fact.

It was true that he was played in the palm of his hand, but the night watchman was not as smart as he thought - based on what Asha knew about the Yankees, capturing a woman would not make any of them awed, and using her as a hostage Worthless: her uncle the Crow's Eye ruled the Iron Islands now, and he wished the northerners would kill him; only the hemiplegic husband Euron had pointed her to might see it as a loss, but the old man didn't have that much money to pay. Redeem yourself.

The biggest use for him right now is probably to be used in exchange for the two children of the Glover family that he brought back to Ten Tower City earlier.

……

But the night watchman once again took a measure that Asha couldn't understand-after capturing himself alive, he didn't throw himself into the dungeon of Deepwood Castle to wait for the hostage exchange, but after a short rest for a day, he took the two thousand peasants and By himself, he quickly set foot on the journey again.

She thought that the night watchman was going to bring her back to Winterfell to claim credit for the Stark family, but it turned out that she was wrong again—the team didn't stop at any castle, but went all the way south at an alarming speed. It was on the road at dawn and didn't stop until the sun went down.This kind of desperate march consumes a lot of physical strength of the soldiers, and it is very easy to be ambushed on the way...

It's a pity that no one knows better than Asha: there are no ironborn wandering in the northern border now, who have the intention and ability to seize the opportunity to attack this "army" of thousands.

The carriage with the cage bumped and swayed with the unevenness and potholes on the road, and the heavy iron chain rattled. The shackles not only worn out her hands and feet, but also worn away her pride.

This was the most shameful experience in her life, but after several days of such crazy marching, she began to thank herself for being one of the few people in the whole team who could ride in a carriage.

……

The march for several days finally came to an end. Not long after the temporary barracks were built, Asha Greyjoy was brought before Iger again with the sound of clanging metal.

The fighting power of the first "army" of the land-grant is not to be admired, but the warriors of the mountain clans and the new land-grant people live in the mountains and outside the Great Wall by gathering and hunting all year round. Iger rushed to the north of Cailin Bay with the first noble prisoner he caught in his life.

***

When he left Houguan Town with the land-grant army south, he only thought of helping the northern border drive away the Ironborn marauders along the King's Road and restore the northern princes' food supply line to the Great Wall.But when he arrived at the Last Hearth City and learned from the agent of the Amber family that the situation had changed, he changed his goal to "take back Deepwood Castle for the people of the northern border"... After paying a dozen casualties, he easily achieved his goal, even After capturing a noble hostage, he suddenly realized that if he joins the war at the right time, the victory and benefits he can obtain will be far easier and richer than imagined, and he seems to have seized such an opportunity.

If you don't take advantage of the opportunity to expand your victories and results, you will not be able to forgive yourself in the future.He made a bold decision: without waiting for Robb Stark to find himself after taking Cailin Bay, he rushed thousands of miles to take the initiative to let the Lord of the North who was "shut outside his house" come in.

After several days of forced marching, he arrived near his destination with the exhausted land-grant army.He was greeted by the scouts under the command of the Earl of Manderly in Whiteport. When he saw the mermaid banner held by the other party, Iger regretted that he was late... But fortunately, the other party told him: Cailin Bay is still in the Ironborn hands.

……

"Kneel!" The logistics soldier who brought the prisoners pushed Asha Greyjoy and pressed her shoulders, trying to force her to kneel to her commander.

"No need." Iger waved his hand. As a time traveler, he is not used to watching others kneel to him, not to mention that half of his team are savages, forcing them to give up the contemptuous title of kneeling person. , and the land-grant has done away with kneeling altogether: "Get Miss Greyjoy a stool and we'll sit and talk."

The escort shrugged in embarrassment and turned to carry out the order.

"Miss Greyjoy, have you had a good rest these days?" Iger smiled and nodded to Asha, remembering how she behaved that night when they surrounded and wiped out the ironmen on the beach—the one in front of him looked slender and slender, with a standard A girl with a model figure chopped down at least two mountain clan warriors with a tomahawk in the battle, and was pushed to the ground when she was fighting with a third opponent... Later, when she was shackled and brought to him, she tried to rush He came up to fight himself desperately, even if he was held down, he still spat on his face relentlessly, his fierce performance and his delicate appearance were hardly the same person.Fortunately, after a few days of cage life, she looks much more honest now. "Let me introduce, the one sitting next to me is the son of the Earl of Mandalay, Sir Willis Mandalay."

Asha snorted. On the day she was captured, countless loyal subordinates either died in battle or were captured in front of her. The red-eyed her was full of thoughts of dying with the enemy. A few days of life in the cage made her calm down. .

"Bending your knees doesn't kill a man," her father had taught her. "Bending your knees is enough to raise a knife. Better to bend your knees than kick your legs up." Balon Greyjoy proved this truth himself after his first failed rebellion, he First bowed the knee to the stag and direwolf, only to return after the deaths of Robert Baratheon and Eddard Stark.

As long as you don't die, there is still hope for everything. The Night Watchman has set a precedent for participating in the internal affairs of the Seven Kingdoms today. One day, he will pay back twice as much!

However, calm down, she didn't intend to admit cowardice to the guy in front of her, and soon a stool was moved behind her, but she refused to sit down - there was no reason, she just didn't want to do what the other party said.

……

White Harbor is the only real city in the northern border, and its ruler, the Mandalay family, is of course very rich. Earl Wyman is nicknamed "Master Eel" and is said to be the fattest person in the entire northern border.As his son, Sir Willis Manderly also has a generous and fat appearance-he sat next to Iger, and wanted to be cold-hearted to the daughter of the Public Enemy of the North, but he couldn't help it when he saw Asha Brighten your eyes: the girl of the sea monster in front of you has an amazing leg-to-body ratio, and her slender figure, high leather boots soaked in salt, and the pair of green wool breeches that are wide at the top and narrow at the bottom further strengthen the "legs" long" visual effect.

Even though she was shackled and locked in a cage for several days, Asha still had an aura that tempted men to conquer.Any man's first reaction when he sees Asha is definitely subconsciously imagining what it would be like when the girl in front of him is lying under him with her two long legs wrapped around his waist.

In order to avoid accidents, Iger sent fifteen people to guard her-five new land granters and five mountain clan warriors to prevent her from escaping, and the remaining five trained trusted soldiers were used to prevent the other ten from attacking the captives. Use your brain... To be reasonable, when a woman, especially a beautiful woman, is with hundreds of men, it is not an exaggeration to use the word "beautiful woman".

"Any man" naturally includes Iger, so when the night watchman saw Sir Willis Manderly staring at Asha with straight eyes, the night watchman, who could probably guess what he was thinking, coughed and broke the deadlock: " Let me briefly introduce the situation—Lord Robb Stark, the Guardian of the North and the Duke of Winterfell, is leading an army of 2 at the moment, just a dozen miles south of us, separated from us by the Gulf of Calim And a swamp. Hundreds of ironmen held back [-] people for weeks. They're tough guys. I admire that, honestly—"

"But you have no hope of winning." Fat Sir Willis recovered from his imagination about those two long legs, and interjected in embarrassment: "Lord Stark does not want to continue the frontal assault and increase casualties, so Order me to lead the army of House Manderly back south, pass the Blood Gate into the Vale of Arryn, board the ship from the port of Gulltown, land at White Harbor and attack the south of Moat Cailin."

"So." Asha said with an expression of none of her business.

"Carlin Bay is a natural danger to the enemies coming from the south, but the north is not so impenetrable." Willis Mandler snorted a few times: "In addition to the White Harbor army, the Reed family in Graywater Watch has also After receiving instructions, find a path through the Neck to bypass Moat Calim... They have arrived, but they are lying in ambush in the swamps on the east and west sides of Moat Calim to prevent the ironmen from abandoning the city and fleeing."

Asha shrugged: "Oh."

"That is to say, even if the land-grant army does not arrive, Kalin Bay will fall within a few days under the attack from the north and the south." Iger added, with no expression on his face, but rejoicing in his heart, what he understood this time It's called the speed of soldiers, if the land-grant army hadn't been forced to march there in a few days, by the time he arrived, Robb Stark would have passed through the Gulf of Calim and went north along the King's Road, and he couldn't even drink soup.But now that I'm here... Even if I don't do anything in the next attack on Kalin Bay, I can still take part in the battle of Kalin Bay for nothing. Having had enough of the ravages of war, I want to end this conflict in a more peaceful way...with fewer casualties."

"A more peaceful way? Ha! To put it nicely, you brought me here because you wanted me to persuade the ironmen of Moat Cailin to surrender as the 'daughter of Balon Greyjoy', right? "The brunette girl laughed consciously without any captives, stood in the middle of the tent and raised her head with a haughty look: "You probably have some misunderstandings about the iron people. The men in the Iron Islands only have captains and leaders in their eyes, and they are kings and vassals." The notion is weak—the ironmen of Moat Cailin are not my crew, and even if they were, I would never obey the orders of a Night's Watch."

"This chick doesn't know the heights of the sky and the earth." The fat Sir Manderly interrupted, "It seems that you made a mistake in your policy of preferential treatment of prisoners. Leave her to me, and it will take a few days..."

Iger didn't intend to hand over his first noble captive, especially when she was a beautiful woman.He waved his hand: "Miss Greyjoy, there are about 600 ironborn in Cailin Bay. It is indeed easier to break through it with a north-south attack, but the attacker still has to pay at least twice the casualties, twice that is [-]... You could save two hundred plus four hundred—about [-] lives—if you could just convince them to surrender.”

"Why should I save the lives of these 600 people? Give me a reason." Asha sneered, "After saving them, those two hundred ironmen will be grateful to me and come back to the Iron Islands to help me win the driftwood crown." ? No, they will only say that I am a bad cousin who was fucked by the night watchmen. After being fucked by you on the battlefield and then on the bed, I wag my tail to send you a message... As for the four hundred who would have been in the The northerners who died in the attack...God knows which four hundred? No one will appreciate me, and you will not let anyone go. When I come back from Cailin Bay, I still have to go back to that wooden cage obediently , are you right?"

"Well--probably true. I'm sorry, but I'm afraid it's not up to me." Iger shrugged: "Mrs. Glover insisted on using you in exchange for her two children, so... before that, I didn't I can't give you any guarantees. I can only promise that I will try to save the lives of those two hundred ironmen..."

"I believe that." Asha glanced at Iger's black clothes with disgust on her face. She probably understood what the other party said about trying to save the lives of the two hundred ironmen, but she was not interested: "My answer Yes—no way. Now, take me back to the cage."

"No way?" Iger twitched his face. According to the usual practice, he should turn his head to fool the other party at this time, and finally persuade Asha to do what he said, but the forced march for several days made him physically and mentally exhausted. Not wanting to use his brain: "Wait, what I just said was not accurate enough, you can save not two hundred ironmen, but two hundred and fifty three."

……

Asha had already turned around and walked towards the entrance of the tent, but she stopped when she heard this sentence.

53, of course, this number did not come out of thin air, if she remembered correctly - in the fiasco on the beach that night, the number of ironmen who survived and were captured seemed to be 53.

"Are you threatening me?" Asha clenched her fists.

"You can think so." Iger shrugged: "I believe that a loyal and temperamental person like Miss Asha wouldn't just leave dozens of brothers who were born and died with you alone."

Chapter 260 From the Daughter of the Sea Monster to the Persuader

Asha was holding the chain and dragging the shackles, standing at the door of the tent and staring at Iger angrily.The look of burning eyes and slightly trembling body makes people unable to bear the illusion that she will rush up and strangle Iger with chains in the next moment.

The two guards clenched their spears vigilantly, and the atmosphere suddenly turned cold.

After tens of seconds, maybe more than a minute of confrontation, the girl retreated under the plain but unrelenting gaze of the night watchman. There is no bottom line or honor, and Asha has no doubts: If she continues to insist, he will carry out the threat.

Gritting her teeth, Asha walked back to the middle of the tent, sat down on the round stool she refused to enjoy just now, and asked, holding back her anger, "You won. But the ironborn in Cailin Bay are not my crew , They have no respect for me at all. I would like to hear, how do you solve this problem? Also, you are not worried at all that I will not come back after passing, but join the defense of Kalin Bay?"

……

"Don't come back? You and I both know that this is impossible. Hundreds of men you are not familiar with, but facing heavy siege and no hope of winning are waiting to die in that small fortress. Woman. Even if I tell you not to come back, do you dare to spend the night in Cailin Bay?" Iger relaxed his tense face and smiled easily.Rather than using words to fool people, this feeling of overpowering others and winning by psychological games seems to be more enjoyable: "I bet, as long as you dare to close your eyes, every man in Kalin Bay will have already been killed by dawn." I want you to bring them an offer they can't refuse, and to make a choice today: continue to fight and die, or surrender and wear black."

Asha frowned impatiently: "Go on, do you have to ask me?"

"I want you to enter Carlin Bay now and tell them: Surrender before sunset today, and the Night Watchmen Legion will guarantee their safety. People can see the sun of tomorrow."

"It's a big tone. Robb Stark led 2 people to attack the fortress that has not been captured for more than ten days. Why do you think that the gang of farmers you led will be able to take it before dark when they arrive?"

"On the beach that day, those wildfires that hit the wet mudflats were still burning. Green fires are not common, you should have remembered it? This kind of thing can burn anywhere, and you can't get rid of it if you touch it. What do you think will happen if I use a trebuchet to throw dozens or hundreds of cans into the Bay of Calim? The Bay of Calim is not Deepwood Castle. It’s only a matter of a few days.” Iger said: “In addition, whether I can take Kalin Bay in one day is my problem, but it’s your problem to convince the ironmen in Cailin Bay that if they don’t surrender, they will die. "

"You mean, I want to help you deceive the ironmen in Moat Cailin?"

"I didn't say that." Iger still smiled faintly, "I just want you to think of your own way to persuade the defenders of Kalin Bay to surrender. As for the method...you choose. Tell them the truth. I brought a group of farmers, or lie They said they were the elite from the north, it's up to you to decide, my character is: I only want the result, not the process."

"I can see that you will do anything for the sake of the result." Asha nodded: "It is precisely because I have experienced your 'unscrupulous methods', so I don't believe that you can keep them safe. I can't even trust you, how are you going to let me convince them?"

……

"Before, both of us were in a state of war. I was the logistics officer who needed to ensure the feeding of the land-grant residents and all the night watchmen; and you were the ironman command who invaded the northern border and blocked the former's food supply to us. I will not break the situation , the gifted land will be starved and killed everywhere, turning into a hell on earth, and the defense of the Great Wall will encounter great difficulties because of this... The aliens will break through the unguarded Great Wall and go south, completely exterminating human beings." Iger patiently explained: "In this In this case, I think it is acceptable to win at all costs, no matter how much you accuse, abuse, or despise me, I will not admit my mistakes or repent."

After finishing speaking, Iger paused for a moment before continuing: "But now, here, as a man, I promise to a woman: It is indeed not me who finally decides to surrender the fate of the Ironmen, but I will Make every effort to convince Robb Stark, the Guardian of the North, to allow me to fulfill the conditions I made earlier. What you hear now is a 'promise', not a tactical deception for victory, believe it or not, The choice is yours."

"It's just a prisoner, what's the point of talking to her. The choice is in her hands? Shit!" Sir Manderly snorted a few times, "She even lives in our hands, how can she have any right to choose!"

***

This fat man's words were not rude, Asha had to admit.

Since the damn night watchman in front of him has already brought out her 53 crew members to talk about the matter, there is no need to explain so much to herself at all... Although I hate what this night watchman did, at least, what he said sounds like It's quite sincere.

What if there is no sincerity? With 53 loyal subordinates in his hands, he had no choice.

"I don't care about the life and death of those people in Cailin Bay." After a short moment of silence, Asha said in a word: "But you have to ensure the safety of my 53 crew members. If you break your promise, I promise you as long as I'm still alive for one day, so you don't want to sleep peacefully. Don't talk about believe it or not, just tell me what you want me to do."

No matter how annoyed Asha is at the moment, at least Iger is very happy to deal with people who know the time and affairs, even if the other party is a prisoner: "Later, I will arrange for the cook to make you a hearty lunch. After eating, you immediately Go to Moat Cailin with the banner. I will give you a letter of proof that the Night's Watch has agreed to accept the entire defenders to wear black, and all you have to do is persuade them to surrender... choose to tell the truth or 'slightly Rhetoric' is your business. An hour after you enter Moat Calim, I will throw a can of wildfire into the middle of the three towers of Moat Calim to prove our ability to burn this stronghold, as a strong support for your statement , Be ready to put out the fire. Lastly, remember that before the sun goes down, they must either raise the white flag or try to get out of there. The two armies in the north and south of Kalin Bay will launch a final attack on it before the sun goes down."

"It's really a simple and easy way." Asha said sarcastically. Both of them knew that the hardest part of these steps was to persuade the ironmen to surrender, but Iger let her figure out a way by herself. The most troublesome thing was that she had to One or two hours to conceive the argument: "I want weapons to defend myself. Many of my uncle's crew are not good people. Now that my uncle has abandoned them to lead the Iron Fleet south...they are likely to make irrational actions .”

"I will order my subordinates to return your weapons to you." Iger nodded bluntly: "Of course, not at this moment, but at the same time as I unshackle you and hand over the flag of peace to you. If If you have any other questions, you can ask them now."

"If you're sure you want me to organize the speech myself... then I'm fine."

For Iger, it is really easy to make up a rhetoric to persuade the surrender.But he is no longer the poor and white traveler who has nothing but his mouth. Compared with how to fool the two hundred ironmen who may not be insignificant, he hopes that he can focus his brain and mind on dealing with other more important people. On matters: "Very well, then I wish Miss Greyjoy success in persuading her to surrender."

Chapter 261 Bottleneck Ze

Legend has it that in the Dawn Era, a group of human beings, the "ancestors", crossed the land bridge Dorne Arm and began to invade Westeros with bronze weapons, leather armor and horses.The aborigines, the Sons of the Forest, were unable to stop the human attack, retreated steadily, and were driven to the north of the mainland. Seeing that they were about to perish, the dog jumped over the wall and cast magic to summon a torrential flood, which not only destroyed the land bridge Dorne Arm, but also divided the land of Westeros. The second is to stop the pace of human invasion from south to north.

After the great flood receded, the Arm of Dorne became an island of stone steps, and the washed place in the middle of the mainland formed "Neck Ze", which means "Bottleneck Ze".

***

Myths are myths after all, but it is an indisputable fact that the Neck divides Westeros into the South and the North.This place composed of swamps, quagmire and lakes is full of sinkholes, quicksand, and the most disgusting thing is that some areas are covered with verdant green grass or aquatic plants-if you are not vigilant, it is easy to regard them as a solid foothold , but as long as you step on it, the whole person will immediately fall into the water.

Just slipping is not troublesome, the countless poisonous insects, poisonous snakes, poisonous flowers and giant lizards with teeth as sharp as daggers bred in the pools and wet mud are the biggest threats to adventurers who do not go on the road.

If the Neck is a natural barrier owned by the people of the northern border, then Kalin Bay is the "Blood Gate" that guards this natural barrier.

Calim Bay used to be a huge fortress with twenty towers and a basalt wall as high as Winterfell. It successfully wiped out the attacks of the Andals countless times, making the northern border it guarded Westeros The only land on the mainland that is still completely controlled by the ancestors who believed in the old gods.

However, with the sinking of the terrain and the passage of time, almost all the walls of Cailin Bay have now collapsed, and the wooden fortress has long been rotted and eaten away, and only three of the twenty towers remain.From the outside, this "castle" doesn't even have the qualifications to be marked on the map, let alone any military defense capabilities.

This is just a small fortress standing alone in the wilderness. Anyone with a small army can completely destroy it in one round of attack.

But Robb Stark was stopped here for a few weeks by this small dilapidated fortress. The reason is very simple: Kalin Bay does not stand in the wilderness as supposed, but is built in the neck.

The only dry route through this vast swamp was the causeway, and the dilapidated towers of Moat Cailin blocked the northern exit of this road like a cork on a bottle.The causeway is narrow, and the fort is strategically placed so that any enemy must pass under it.

If the army going north from the south wants to attack Cailin Bay, it must first consciously "drill into the bottle" and pass through the long "bottleneck" - the causeway before reaching the fortress. However, if it wants to attack any of the three remaining towers One, will be exposed to the arrows of the other two towers. The damp stone wall is covered with moss, and sticky white ghost grass hangs down. It is extremely difficult to climb. The swamp around the causeway is a natural moat. , can't gain a foothold at all, let alone pass through.

The above are just the favorable conditions of Carlin Bay itself. What's more troublesome is that the causeway itself is also part of the natural danger of defense: it is purely artificially built, and its width can only pass through two carriages, and it can only pass through the army. , or even setting up a massive offensive, don't even think about it.

……

The nearly 200 northern troops who went north and returned home had to be stationed in a few villages on solid ground tens of miles south of Kalin Bay, which is rarely seen in the Neck—this means that the troops on the offensive mission Starting from the barracks, it takes a long distance to reach the foot of the target.Due to the narrowness of the road, even though they had a hundred times the enemy's strength, it was difficult for the northerners to attack with more than [-] people at the same time.

The Blood Gate is strong and precipitous. At least it is located at the mouth of the Vale of Arryn. There is a large plain outside the valley for the army to camp and set up their formations. After breaking through it, they will enter the long and narrow Vale of Arryn. As long as they are willing to "do whatever it takes", they can always take it by force; Although Kalin Bay looked tattered and looked like it could be pushed down, it made it impossible for the attackers to even fight the enemy desperately.

Due to the special geology, the causeway is sinking all the time under the immersion of the swamp, which requires sand and stones to be transported from it every once in a while to raise it... After the Ironmen raided and occupied this place, no one The maintained causeway had already become potholed and impassable after several rains, which made the attacking side even worse.

Under the command of King Robert, he enjoys the prestige of breaking the bloody gate, and he is invincible in the battle against the western border, even the battle against the Reach is undefeated...but he was stopped at home when he returned home outside the door.Unable to pass or fight, Robb Stark, who was exhausted and has no temper, was forced to choose a roundabout tactic. He divided his troops and took the sea route and the path in the swamp to go around to the north of Cailin Bay to pull out the "bottle" from the outside. This cork.

Due to the limited transportation capacity of Seagull Town and the difficult and difficult path, the number of troops who bypassed Cailin Bay and reached the north was only a few hundred people. However, these hundreds of people can be supplemented in White Harbor and the surrounding villages, and they will soon gather thousands of troops. Troops... When the time comes, we will attack from north to south with the main force led by Robb Stark, and Kalin Bay is just around the corner.
