#48Chapter 48 Battle of Stonehedge Castle
The transportation of siege equipment could not keep up with the bloodthirsty nature of the Mountain.
When the Mountain led his men to the bottom of the city wall, something embarrassing happened, and the battlefield suddenly became very quiet.
Ordinary arrows could not cause any damage to the Mountain and his armor, and the powerful crossbows could not aim at the Mountain standing under the city wall - the fixed-mode crossbows could not adjust such a large angle.
So the defenders on the city wall were attacking the team carrying siege equipment.
The Mountain looked around at his cavalry, and a sense of irritation rose in his heart.
Lord Lannister originally asked him to besiege Stonehedge without attacking, but he sent an urgent report this morning to ask him to attack decisively.
The spies judged that the enemy reinforcements were about to arrive, and if the Mountain did not quickly capture Stonehedge, he might be sandwiched from both sides, just like the defeated Battle of Riverrun.
Sandwiched from both sides, it's ridiculous.
The Mountain scoffed at the spy's judgment. He looked at the defenders of Stonehedge City. They were all scared to the point of peeing their pants. Did they still have the courage to go out of the city gate and fight him?
But Lord Lannister's orders had to be obeyed.
On the battlefield, the Mountain rarely had nothing to do. He was also a little surprised by the current situation, so he got off his horse and walked to the closed city gate.
Boom!
The Mountain took a sledgehammer from his men and began to beat the city gate violently.
Boom!
Boom!
Looking at the wooden city gate that was constantly being hit, a feeling of despair rose in the hearts of the defenders of Stonehedge City.
Is this really the power that humans should have! ?
Seven Gods, that monster is about to smash a bolt!
Although the Mountain couldn't break a city gate by himself, the city gate that kept cracking was like the defense line in people's hearts. The Mountain's actions were shocking and disintegrating them.
When the Mountain's men arrived at the gate with ladders, the Mountain's army cheered enthusiastically.
"Kill them!"
"Quick! Hold the ladder and climb up!"
"The daughters of the Bracken family, hehehe!"
"Don't dream, the Brackens are nobles, only knights like Lord Mountain can touch them, you can just deal with the maids in the castle!"
The resistance of Stonehedge City was unexpectedly weak, and they thought that the city would become a new fat meat for them to enjoy.
The morale of the Mountain's army was particularly high, and everyone's face was full of violent expressions. Greed and cruelty were the basic colors of the Mountain's army.
The notepad took the lead and began to climb up the ladder. Although the first warrior to climb the top of the city was dangerous, Lord Mountain would never be stingy with rewards.
And looking at the resistance of the people in Stonehedge City, it didn't take any effort at all. Maybe after I climbed the city wall, they would put down their weapons and kneel down to beg for mercy.
The weakness of the enemy instead aroused the brutality of the Mountain's army.
They were like crazy, scrambling to climb the city wall.
"Hurry, don't let them come up!"
"Stones! Smash them to death!"
"Shoot arrows! Where's the sulfur? Where's the oil? Burn them to death!"
"Think about your family, push the ladder down!"
Harry Hewen and Hendry Bracken screamed on the city wall, they were terrified, and it seemed that only by shouting could they dispel the fear.
They ran back and forth on the city wall, and immediately went up to help any soldiers who couldn't stand it.
But their actions could not save the one-sided tendency of the whole battle.
Soon, the ladder on the city wall showed the head of a soldier wearing armor.
The defenders of Shili City were terrified, and several of them surrounded him directly, hitting the soldier's head hard with the big stones in their hands, and knocked him down directly.
But soon another enemy appeared on the other side.
The gap they just exposed gave the Mountain's men an opportunity. The heavily armored soldiers howled and climbed up the city wall. They looked like crazy and chopped anyone around them.
Five or six of the defenders of Stonehedge City were scared away on the spot.
Harry Rivers and Hendry Bracken's unprofessional side was revealed again: although they led the way, they did not have a supervisory team.
The fleeing defenders had a smooth journey and fled directly back to the city.
Seeing this scene, how could the defenders of Stonehedge City still have the heart to fight a bloody battle with the Mountain's men?
Like dominoes, one fall immediately caused a chain reaction, and half of the defenders on the top of Stonehedge City collapsed in the blink of an eye.
There were still defenders moving stones up there. When they saw their allies running down in a panic, they were horrified: "What's wrong? Can't hold it?"
"Can't hold it! They're all dead. Lord Harry and Lord Hendry were beheaded by the Mountain!"
When the defenders who were moving the stones heard this, they threw them to the ground and prepared to run home to see if they could hide in the cave.
Harry Rivers was so angry when he saw this mess that he yelled, "Damn, who said I'm dead! Come back! I'm not dead yet, come back to guard the city gate!"
Hendry Bracken was so angry when he saw more and more Lannisters on the wall that he yelled, "So many people have only guarded for such a short time, even if the people of the Mountain were to catch so many pigs, they wouldn't be able to catch them all!"
Seeing that the defeat was imminent and there was no way to save the situation, Harry grabbed Hendry and said, "Let's go!"
"Are we just going to give up Stonehedge like this?!"
"Stop talking nonsense, we can't defend it if we stay here!"
When the Mountain climbed up the wall, the defenders on the wall of Stonehedge completely collapsed.
The Mountain was so huge that he could block the sun just by standing in front of a person. The oppressive feeling was almost suffocating.
He wielded his spear and two-handed sword just like an ordinary person performing one-handed swordsmanship. Every time he swept, he could take away a large number of lives.
He didn't even use any fighting skills, he just had to repeatedly swing his weapons.
Huge armor and exaggerated weapons that constantly harvested lives.
The Mountain was like a monster without feelings and emotions. Anyone who stood in front of him was torn to pieces.
On the city wall, the Mountain set off a bloody storm.
Harry Rivers and Hendry Bracken were also very scared. After seeing the complete collapse on the city wall, they had no intention of continuing to defend the city and returned to the core area of the castle.
A few minutes after they left, the gate of Stonehedge City was opened from the inside by the Mountain's army. Almost all the people standing on the city wall were members of the Mountain's army.
The Mountain's men showed ecstasy on their faces. They swarmed into Stonehedge City and started their own carnival.
The two stumbled and held onto their somewhat scattered armor, and found their sisters in a hidden room.
Beth Bracken saw them coming back and stood up excitedly: "You are back! Have you defeated the Mountain? When will they attack the city again?"
Hendry Bracken panted: "We can't hold on any longer!"
"What?" Beth was incredulous, "You just started the war less than an hour ago!"
"You didn't see how terrifying the Mountain is!"
There was a noisy sound outside, and the cries and screams were like waves in the lake, gradually spreading to every corner of Stonehedge City.
"Damn it, take them all!"
Beth's face changed drastically, she took out five small pills from her arms and stuffed them into her sisters, "If you are caught, take them. Remember, don't get caught by them!"
"What is this, sister, what is this..." The youngest sister cried, she was frightened by the shouting outside.
"When the time comes, just close your eyes and swallow it directly. It won't hurt!"
After Beth finished speaking, she didn't have time to care about their emotions. She and her brothers and sisters retreated to the back door of Stonehedge City under the cover of a team of guards.
Since Stonehedge City could no longer be defended, they could only go to Riverrun City to find their father.
But the path that they used to walk every day became extremely crowded at this moment, and countless crying people were crowding here.
Men, women, old people, children...
At the critical moment of life and death, no one cares about their identity.
They moved hard behind the guards, and it seemed that they would soon see the dawn ahead.
"Hey! There are a few rich people dressed well!"
"Good job, notepad! There are so many women, come on, bring more people to surround them!"
The sudden sound made the people of the Bracken family pale.
