Chapter 154 Landing!

The waves are not stopping, the sea wind is howling.

All kinds of movements of Storm's End were barely detectable when they reached the sea, and the only obvious signal was the jumping or moving flames that formed an arc on the city wall.

It was a torch held up by soldiers, representing swords, bows and arrows.

It was a vigorous brazier beside the battlements, used for heating and lighting, for lighting rockets and pitch, and for boiling hot oil.

Storm's End used this method to announce its vigilance to people, displaying thorns and thorns all over its body.

Every bit of fire showed Storm's End's rigorous and well-prepared counterattack force, and foretelled the countless blood and lives that the attacking party would lose.

The guards held their swords and crossbows tightly, ready to kill the enemy.

At the same time, the horns in the castle behind him kept bursting, like thunder that accumulated infinite anger, deterring the enemy, and like an inspiring piece of music, encouraging victory.

The fleets at sea approached without saying a word, only communicating with each other through the change of flags.

Why not drums and trumpets?

Many young guards showed puzzled expressions.So many stories are the same as the usual training, shouldn’t war be accompanied by drums and trumpets all the way.

Even if this is a fleet sailing at sea, shouldn't it be so quiet when launching an attack?
Seasoned veterans are also quite puzzled.

Without drums and trumpets that can make young people's minds go crazy, who would dare to rush to the city wall after calm thinking to meet the crossbows, stones and hot oil, and endure the clear and piercing wailing from all directions?
Holding various thoughts, the tension in the guards' hearts seemed to subside a lot.

Then look down at the fleet below.

A blur of ships, so scattered and plain, so inconspicuous.

Compared with a menacing army, it is more like a predatory pirate, who will only sneak up and attack quietly, and never launch an attack openly.

Almost like pirates.Cortanay Penrose recalled the battle process described in the letter from Rain House City, almost using the same method as the Ironborn's longship, ambush, sneak attack, storm, and retreat after casualties.

Thinking about it this way, isn't the practice of dividing troops to invade the coastlines everywhere the same as the Ironborn's consistent style? !

Cortanay Penrose's confusion seemed to be answered.

The letter also said that one of the officers attacking Rain House City was Theon Greyjoy, a son of the Iron Islands.

Maybe this Theon talked about the cruel heart of the false king Joffrey?Let him send his fleet to wreak havoc, avenge Cape Marseilles, or just plain sabotage?
Cortanay Penrose isn't entirely sure, but at least...

He looked at the fleet below, and at a rough glance, there would never be more than two hundred ships. The exact number from the watchtower was 120 ones.

At least it is certain that the fleet really separated.

This is good news for Storm's End, but bad news for the rest of the coast.For His Majesty Renly, it is probably not bad information.

After all, judging from the current situation, King's Landing has no fleet to guard the river, and the territories of the stormlands will not be completely destroyed. It just allows the wayward Prince Joffrey to vent his anger and loot some villages and fishermen .

For war, this is nothing.

The power of King's Landing was wasted in unnecessary places, but His Majesty Renly's army was growing stronger and more skilled day by day, just waiting to pierce the enemy's heart.

The war situation seems to be getting clearer.

"Hahaha~"

"It's crazy. Huh, even using this kind of thing as a weapon? You can't even touch a single fur of Storm's End!"

"Look, they haven't stopped yet!"

"If there is only this method, we can all go back to sleep and sleep, and even if he is given 100 years, he won't even think about entering Storm's End..."

The guards everywhere on the city wall let out bursts of laughter and sarcasm.

Cortanay Penrose didn't stop immediately, he also saw the fleet's attack, which was insignificant to the point of absurdity.

Dozens of warships approached to the point of running aground, firing arrows and stones from the deck, but most of them still failed to cross the cliff below the castle, let alone destroy the city wall.

Cortanay Penrose understood that this kind of attack by the enemy would only make the castle's morale higher and its defense stronger.

However, there is another question, what about the white light and sound of the enemy?
The sky has gradually brightened, and the effect of white light can be ignored, but what about the loud noise that Yuwucheng mentioned several times in his letter?This kind of thing can play a much more powerful effect.

Cortanay Penrose is most troubled and worried about this right now.

Once the enemy uses this weird power, the morale in the city will be low, and communication will be inconvenient. If it disturbs everyone, they will not be able to sleep and their energy will be low, and the enemy will find a loophole to approach the city...

Cortanay Penrose had no other choice but to keep a close eye on the movement of the fleet and judge the enemy's intentions from it, so as to prepare in advance.

After about a quarter of an hour, the warships throwing arrows and stones withdrew.

Cortanay Penrose immediately stopped the noise of the guards and made everyone vigilant to observe and report any changes in the enemy forces they saw.

But this order soon became useless.

Cortanay Penrose himself clearly saw the movement of the fleet.

All the warships headed north, stopped on the sea beside the flat ground a thousand paces away from Storm's End, and lowered their sails.

After that, many small boats rowed towards the shore with dense figures.

The enemy is about to land!
Cortanay Penrose and everyone were shocked.

This is Storm's End Castle, not the ordinary Rain House City!
120 How many combat soldiers are on board a ship?Did you log in like this?Do you think you can break into the gates of Storm's End from land?
No one knows how powerful the city gate is.

The crossbow arrows and stones on the city wall are the first line of defense of the city gate. Thousands of deadly attacks can be launched with just a few breaths, leaving corpses everywhere outside the city.

The dry and wide moat is the second line, and the guards will enthusiastically help the enemy to fill up the moat.

with their own corpses.

The third line of defense was the hot oil poured down the walls.

Waiting for the enemy to smell the smell of barbecue and the smell of hair, destroy the suspension bridge leaning on the city wall, and enter the city gate hole dozens of feet long.

The countless bows and crossbows above the entrance of the cave, the stones piled up into hills, and the pots of hot oil will form the fourth line of defense.

The enemy left dead bodies all over the ground again, and finally came to the city gate.

The iron gates that had been prepared earlier slammed down, isolating the people within six feet in front of the city gates, followed by a unilateral massacre.

It wasn't until these guys were turned into corpses that the gate was closed again, waiting for the next round of prey...

Cortnay Penrose frowned and looked north.

There were probably thousands of enemy troops landing, and with these alone, I am afraid that if they are all dead, they will not be able to touch the city gate.

The sun has risen.

In the camp of the landing enemy army came a figure, the white armor on his body reflecting the sunlight.
