Sword and Magic and Taxi

The savages are like tides, like ocean waves, like unstoppable flowing glaciers emerging from the woods, heading towards the Great Wall in waves. They formed a fighting formation, gathered together according to the division of weapons, and covered each other. Jon has worked with the wildlings and knows their past status. In the past, the savages were nothing more than bloated insects gathered according to tribes. They marched casually and slowly, which was definitely not what they are now. Although it is far inferior to the knights of Winterfell, it already has the prototype of an army.

Mance Rayder! Jon gritted his teeth. Only this former Night Watchman knew how to march and fight, and only he could gather hundreds of tribes outside the wall to form this unprecedented military force.

Jon came to the edge of the cliff and leaned out to look out. The eternal cold wind blew from the north and penetrated directly into his eyelids, but the tears could not flow because they were frozen. He saw hundreds of mammoths, and giants, armed with clubs, awls, or stone axes, riding on mammoths like men on horses. They tied the trunks of more than a dozen big trees together, peeled off the bark, and sharpened a section to make a terrifying ramming cone. The giant used a mammoth to pull a ten-wheeled cart, on which was mounted this terrible device. Jon leaned down and saw the direction of the city gate. Although he knew that the city gate was made of the finest stainless steel, weighed more than a thousand pounds, and was indestructible. However, what comes today may be the real test.

The war drums sounded and the horns sounded loud, but they all belonged to the savages. It was quiet here at the Night Watch, except for the screams of the red flames in the brazier being blown by the wind, puff, puff, puff, puff.

There must be a hundred thousand of them! howled Satin from Mole Village. What should we do? How can we stop them?

There aren't that many, and the Wall will stop them, Jon heard himself say. By the way, how did my father mobilize his troops when he led the troops to pursue the savages who crossed the border to cause trouble? He felt like he should do something, just like when Mike walked towards the army of ghouls with two knives in hand. Morale, it’s all about morale. So he turned to everyone and raised his voice: The Great Wall will stop them, and the Great Wall will protect itself. He felt that what he said was a bit hollow, but he had to repeat it as much as possible, the more the better, because this is what the brothers are eager to hear. . The Great Wall needs a voice of its own, not just the plop-plop of a dying fish on the shore. Mance, you want to scare us with numbers? Does he think we are all fools? Jon shouted at the top of his voice: Chariots, cavalry, and idiots on foot? Giants, mammoths? We are two hundred The twenty-meter-high Great Wall! Let them climb! Have you ever seen a mammoth climbing the wall? Let them climb with their hands and feet, and then what will they have left? Savages don’t have tails! They just spit, We also have an advantage of 220 meters!

He laughed, and his brothers laughed too: They are nothing, worse than these straw sentries! They can't reach us, they can't hurt us, they can't scare us, can they?

Yes! Grant shouted.

They are under the Great Wall, and we are stepping on them. Jon said: Hold the gate, they will not be able to pass, they will never be able to pass the Great Wall! People shouted loudly in unison, yelling the same words, Brandishing the weapon in his hand just like Jon, his cheeks were red with excitement, not because of coldness and timidity. Let them hear our voices! Where is the horn? Blow the horn of war!

Two horns sounded, representing the arrival of the savages, and then other horns echoed until finally, the entire Great Wall seemed to shake. Many savages raised their heads, then lowered their heads and moved forward. Their king, Mance Rayder, also heard the horns, a familiar sound to him. When he was a member of the Night's Watch, two trumpets meant battle. The same is true now, except that he has changed his camp and identity.

City gate. He said to his men: Only the city gate is the key to allowing everyone to pass. Do you understand? This order has been given before, and it is mentioned again just to emphasize that it is also a reminder to the night watchman. response. Mance Rayder knew the limits of his abilities and asked the wildlings to temporarily put aside their conflicts, avoid killing each other, and march south together. This matter basically exhausted all his energy. Although he knew that the savages were far from being called an army, he had no time to train anymore. The harsh winter wouldn't give him this time, and the God of Cold wouldn't give him this time either.

Archers! Jon shouted the order after the horn sound gradually died down: Aim at the giants pushing the siege ram, all aim at them! From now on, follow my command to fire, no one is allowed to move first! Giants! and their battering rams, give them a thick rain. Wait until they're in range before shooting, and don't let anyone waste it, otherwise you'll have to crawl down and pick it up yourself, do you understand?

I understand, Lord Snow! Idiot Owen shouted loudly: We all understand!

Jon laughed, infecting the brothers around him and himself with his laughter. Ser Alliser's face was livid, but he also understood that Jon was doing the right thing. For the benefit of the Night's Watch, he did not disturb Jon, but came to the trebuchet.

Damn idiot, don't pack rocks first, use caltrops instead! The cavalry must throw caltrops first before the cavalry arrives. Stones are used to deal with slow infantry!

The night watchmen stopped shooting arrows for the time being, and the savages accelerated and charged forward, shooting the bows and arrows in their hands one after another. They always rush forward a few steps, cock their bows and arrows, stop to shoot, and then continue forward, and so on. These arrows couldn't fly at all and were all wasted. Jon thought as he looked down that they lacked discipline and experience. Mance Rayder wants to use his numerical advantage to scare us to death, but the Night's Watch will die in battle, but they will never be scared to death.

He looked to his left and right. The head of the Great Wall of Despair was illuminated by a brazier, extending to both sides until it was dark. What is truly terrifying is not the enemies in front of you or at your feet, but the length of the Great Wall itself. Mance Rayder could have sent people to climb up from other places. The Night's Watch couldn't look at the left and right for twenty miles, but the Great Wall was thousands of miles long. It only takes a hundred people to climb up, which is more than all the people guarding the city.

Jon pushed the thought away quickly, otherwise he would be too frightened to fight. The giant pulled the battering ram into shooting range, and he also bent his bow and arrow, aiming below. May the gods of this world bless the Night's Watch, Jon prayed. But the Night Watch and the wildlings believe in the same god, and the wildlings are also praying to the old gods. Will the gods bless them, after all, they pray to more people?

Natch the arrow, draw the bow, and release! The black arrows turned into black rain and flew toward the snow-white ground. Nick the arrow, draw the bow, release! again and again. Use rockets, throw oil cans, burn the battering ram!

A flame rose up from the giant's cart, the brightest fire yet. The injured mammoth screamed, the giant roared in rage. The archers of the Night's Watch fired hard and without pause.

Ser Alliser came to the edge of the city wall, looked down, and said to Jon: Snow, killing the siege engines is good, but this won't win. You can continue to shoot arrows comfortably on the wall, I'm going to the city below. Door, that’s where the real battle is.”

He didn't wait for Jon to answer, flicked his cloak, turned around and left. Jon glanced at his back, and then shouted: Archers, shoot freely! Aim at the giant! Aim at the crowded place and shoot!
