Red Dragon Roar - Chapter 297
Between the Dragon Empire and the Kingdom of Braavos, there is an iron-toothed ridge from west to east. The mountains are steep and rugged, and the north-south span is huge. There is only one great rift valley that leads the Dragon Empire from the inland to the Kingdom of Braavos. The only shortcut.
There are usually many caravans traveling through the rift valley, but now the rift valley has long been blocked by the army of Braavos Kingdom.
The entire Great Rift Valley is 12 kilometers long and only 50 meters wide. If you look down from the sky, you will find that it is a narrow and thin line. .
Such a dangerous terrain has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times.
The Braavos Kingdom has built a dangerous city called XX here, and it has a kind of momentum that one husband is the only one who is in charge.
In fact, when the army of the Flame Dragon Mother launched a war of aggression against Braavos, it was stopped by this natural danger, and finally had to spare most of the Iron Teeth Ridge and attacked from the other side.
However, Emperor Eze Targaryen is not the Flame Dragon, and the well-trained Red Dragon Legion is not the monster army of the Flame Dragon-
They are stronger.
The Northern Alliance has suffered several big losses in the hands of the Dragon King, and the Fortress of Dorne could not resist it for even a long time. It deeply knows how powerful the Dragon King’s army is.
Therefore, in the past nine years, the iron fortress has been reinforced several times, and the force configuration has been optimized again and again. In addition to being equipped with a large number of spellcasters, even the number of elemental towers has been expanded to eight within the narrow terrain of 50 meters. .
Therefore, the army of the Kingdom of Braavos has 100% confidence to keep the Red Dragon Legion out of the Iron Teeth Ridge. Unless the iron fortress is broken, the monster army will never enter the territory of Braavos from here.
…
After the 300,000 Red Dragon Army was evenly divided, each clan leader led not much.
Warwick led the 30,000 Red Dragon Army to temporarily stationed in front of the Great Rift Valley. This guy has rich experience in siege
He has long heard the name of the Iron Fortress, and it is not an ordinary city to be able to block the monster army of the Flaming Dragon Mother.
Now looking at this dangerous terrain that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, I know that it will be a tough battle to meet him.
At this time, the Dragon Empire was fighting on multiple fronts. On the vast national border, there may be several battlefields in fierce battles.
As the chief commander of the Red Dragon Army, Warwick naturally chose the iron fortress, the most difficult bone to crack, and handed it over to other clan leaders. He was not at ease.
This licking dog can accompany the Dragon King for a long time. No doubt he is very smart, unlike Kane Bloodhoof, the cow Hanhan only knows how to run rampant.
Therefore, in the face of the iron fortress, he did not launch an attack rashly, but inquired about all kinds of information in detail.
Knowing yourself and knowing your enemy can help you win a hundred battles.
Two nights later, a drow elf handed over a military document to Warwick. He did not let anyone find out his whereabouts, and perfectly completed the task explained by the wolf tooth leader.
Warwick looked at the fortress defense map that Darkscale stole from the Iron Fortress, which marked the deployment of troops, the number of troops, the location of the granary, the armory, the barracks, the distribution of defense equipment, and so on.
The iron fortress is 25 meters high and 30 meters thick. The number of defenders is only 20,000. There are 382 spellcasters of various professions, including 78 priests. to the high-ranking soldiers.
But there are fifteen large catapults, eight element towers, twenty artillery pieces, and ten bed crossbows. This configuration can easily block a hundred thousand human army in this terrain.
It’s worth mentioning that explosives are nothing new in this fantasy world.
There are wizards and alchemists who are constantly becoming stronger by studying knowledge. The cannons of this world are even more powerful than the red-clothed cannons of the modern world that Izai knew.
There are not only explosives and shrapnel in the shell, but there may be various spell effects after the explosion.
The only drawback is that the firing frequency is not fast, and it is easy to blow up the chamber.
The narrow terrain is not conducive to the Red Dragon Army’s charge at all, and once it enters the opponent’s range, it is easy to be attacked by the enemy, and it is impossible to avoid it.
Although the Red Dragon Legion is powerful, wearing iron armor and steel helmets can ignore ordinary bows and arrows, but it cannot withstand the ground washing attacks of large-scale engineering equipment such as stone throwing, bed crossbows, artillery, and element towers.
In addition, the caster used a large area of trap spells, such as swamps, glaciers, and imprisonment. If they attacked rashly, they may not have rushed under the city wall of the Iron Fortress, and the 30,000 Red Dragon Legion had already lost most of them.
By that time, the Iron Fortress had not been captured, but Warwick himself had completely defeated the Red Dragon Army. He was afraid that he would be severely punished by His Majesty, and he could not afford to lose this person.
Now that he knows the detailed layout of the Iron Fortress, he can use his own advantages to make some arrangements~www.mtlnovel.com~ For example, one hundred flying dragons, one hundred and fifty Chimeras, three hundred griffins, three A hundred manticores, plus the red dragon Aurelion.
Long Jie felt that it was too boring to stay in the Dragon Palace, and she didn’t want to see those two nasty guys kissing me and me in front of her all day long, plus the desire to conquer in the blood of the Red Dragon, so she followed Warwick directly. came to the front line.
There is no doubt that this is a force that can completely dominate the air, but today’s Red Dragon clan can casually equip every clan leader.
There are also fifty giants accompanying them. The brute force of these big men is no less than that of a catapult.
Therefore, Warwick learned from the experience of siege in previous wars, and spent three days doing all kinds of pre-war preparations.
To be honest, this guy didn’t take the iron fortress in his eyes. After all, even a city-state of the level of Farren was conquered by the iron hoofs of the Red Dragon Legion. Although His Majesty personally came out at that time, he thought that he could also do it. do it.
In the eyes of the defenders of the Iron Fortress, the Red Dragon Legion seemed to have no intention of attacking the city, but just blindly stationed in front of the Great Rift Valley.
But this guy is very bad. Every day at 3:00, 5:00, 8:00, 12:00, 18:00, and 24:00, the wolf cubs under his command sound the war horn of attack, which makes the defenders of the iron fortress panic.
But every time it blows and doesn’t move, making the human soldiers who are ready for defense curse endlessly, this kind of thing is enough to do once or twice, so many times a day, even an iron man will feel tired.
This action continued until late at night three days later.
The attack of the Red Dragon Army started quietly.
