The Winter of Ice and Fire Is Coming

Chapter 335: Battle of the Heishui River·A Shadow Killer Appears Again

The Griffin Castle under Wind's Breath once produced a talent of the Seven Nations: Jon Clinton when Robert and Ed rebelled.

Because of his integrity, bravery, and fearlessness, he was named the hand of the king by Iris Targaryen.

Jon Clinton is Prince Regga Targaryen’s most loyal friend, and has been his servant. After the outbreak of the Usurpers War, Jon Clinton was the most determined royalist.

In Hejiandi, a place called Shitang Town not far from the Golden Powder City, an army led by Jon Clinton surrounded Robert Baratheon in Shitang Town. Out of the protection of the local people, Jon Clinton and Robert Baratheon agreed to let the monks in the temple ring the bell first to warn the people to lock the doors and windows. After the people enter their houses and hide, Jon Clinton launched the attack on Robert, so the battle was called the "Bell Tolling".

Jon Clinton's benevolence caused a delay in the time of the war, which gave Robert's reinforcements more time.

At the beginning of the war, the army led by Earl Clinton achieved an overwhelming victory. However, Robert led the army to insist on the arrival of reinforcements from Jon Alling and Ed Stark. The situation changed sharply, and Jon Clinton’s The army was anti-siege.

Jon Clinton led the army to launch a fierce resistance, and personally severely wounded Duke Horst, and killed the "darling of the valley" Jon Allyn's nephew and heir-Sir Dennis Allyn. Robert Baratheon was so brave because of the arrival of reinforcements, he rushed into the battle and slayed the enemy bravely, beheading six enemies, including the famous knight, Mies Mouton who served as the servant of Prince Rega. Jon Clinton himself was almost killed by Robert on the stone steps of the church, but he was finally able to escape under the loyal guard.

Jon Clinton could have easily surrounded Stone Town and ordered the burning of the entire town and the hidden Roberts in the town, in order to lead reinforcements by Ed Stark, Jon Alling and Horst Tully Kill Robert before supporting, just as Tywin Lannister would do. However, killing innocent men, women and children is too honourable for Clinton.

Iris Targaryen believed that Clinton was responsible for this failure, and thus deprived him of his official title and fiefdom and expelled him. As a result, the hand of the king who was most loyal to the Targaryen dynasty went into exile on the other side of the narrow sea and joined the Golden Knights as a mercenary. (Long-winded: Jon Clinton is especially important to the later plot.)

After Jon Clinton went into exile, with the fall of the Targaryen dynasty, his Griffin Castle was given to his cousin Ronald Clinton by Robert Baratheon. But Robert did not return his family's confiscated wealth and earl title, and also entrusted many of the former Clinton family land to other Robert supporters.

After Robert's death, Stannis I won the Iron Throne, and Renly married the Tyrell family in the High Court of the Bay and became king. He promoted Ronald Clinton's title to earl and appointed Ronald Sir Clinton is the commander of his naval fleet.

Ronald Clinton is the current patriarch of the Clinton family and the owner of Eagle Nest. He has three children, Roland, Raymond and Eleanie.

Tass’s virgin Brienne was once promised to Sir Ronald’s son Roland Clinton by her father "Twilight Star" Earl Selwyn Tass. However, Roland Clinton hated Brienne and insulted her, which led to The marriage broke down.

Ronald Clinton led more than two hundred naval warships of Renly I, divided into ten battleships in the Blackwater Bay, one battleship more than 20 battleships, of which the two-wing warships were responsible for destroying the royal fleet of Stannis I , The Chinese warship is responsible for transporting the 20,000 infantry on board to the river bank, and then to the south bank of the Heishui River to transport the Lanli's large unit-80,000 infantry and cavalry.

There were only fifty battleships of Stannis I in total, and the size of the battleships could not be compared with that of Renly.

More than two hundred battleships battled fifty royal battleships. Ronald Clinton stood on the flagship and ordered the drums of attack to be beaten.

The two-wing warship in charge of the attack immediately accelerated and started to attack the royal warship at the mouth of the Heishui River at the speed of the attack.

The remaining eight teams of warships moved forward at a constant speed, approaching the bank of the Heishui River, hoping to dock and let the 20,000 infantry on board land on the bank of the East Gate of King's Landing.

Stannis' fifty royal battleships saw the enemy start to attack, and drums sounded from the flagship. However, they did not come to fight, but retreated and fled into the Heishui River at combat speed.

This made the Lanly navy officers on the ten fronts laugh.

Ronald Clinton ordered the two-wing warships to speed up and pursue them at the speed of impact, deep into the Blackwater River.

The two-wing warship got the order, speeding up the attack.

The royal battleship of Stannis I also speeded up to escape to the depths of the Heishui River.

Ronald Clinton then ordered the Chinese army to advance towards the east gate river bank of King's Landing City at an offensive speed and send 20,000 infantry ashore first.

Amid the loud shouts of the 20,000 infantrymen, a rocket was shot from the wall of Junlin City. Because it was too far away from the navy commanded by Ronald, it caused the coalition forces in Fengshibao and Gaoting to laugh. The ridicule and humiliation of thousands of people rushed into the sky like a huge wave, like a storm like a tsunami from a mountain.

That lone rocket has not yet fallen into the sea. In the other direction, outside the mud gate to the south, someone shot a rocket. The target was the mouth of the Heishui River.

Outside the mouth of the Heishui River is Heishui Bay which is dozens of times wider than the Heishui River.

Ronald Clinton’s two-wing warship is a stone’s throw from the mouth of the Blackwater River. The fifty royal battleships had already escaped into the depths of the Heishui River.

There are many fishing boats and merchant ships hidden deep in the Heishui River. One advantage of the requisitioned fishing boats and merchant ships is that they avoid falling into the hands of the Lanli Navy and use them as troop carriers.

As soon as the rocket on the city wall on the east side of King's Landing entered the water, a blue flame burned at the point where the rocket fell. In the blink of an eye, the blue flame was like a swimming blue fire snake, which moved quickly. The two sides spread, and quickly, the blue flame spread across the water, but within a short while, a large blue sea of ​​fire was burned.

"It's a wildfire, stop the ship!" Ronald, who was standing on the flagship, was shocked and hurriedly gave orders. The snare drums on the flagship immediately turned into the command to stop the ship. More than 160 warships on eight fronts slowed down one after another. Several ships collided together. The stern of the front ship was hit by the head of the rear warship. There was an astonishing loud noise, and the soldiers on the side of the ship were shaken into the water.

At the same time, at the mouth of the Heishui River, the rocket also shot into the water. With a whirr, the blue flame spread over the river, and it burned into a blue flame quickly, blocking the mouth of the Heishui River. Nearly fifty warships blocked the two-wing fronts responsible for the attack.

On the flagship, Ronald Clinton’s snare drum became an order to retreat.

So, whether it was the eight Chinese military lines responsible for transporting soldiers or the warships responsible for attacking the two-wing lines of the royal battleship, commanders hurriedly issued orders: retreat, retreat, and retreat.

The prestige of the Red Witch next to King Stannis I was spread far and wide. The Witch believed in the Red God and was good at using fire. The fifteen thousand soldiers of the West Territory of Tywin Lannister, the most powerful lord of the Seven Kingdoms, were scarred by her tears. A big fire by the lake burned clean.

A wildfire burned at the mouth of the Heishui River, blocking the entrance of the Heishui River; the line near the coast of Heishui Bay also burned wildfires, so that Ronald Clinton’s Chinese troop carrier could not get close to the east of Junlin City. Gate river bank.

Wildfire is a flammable substance that can only be refined by pyrotechnicians. This kind of flame, even on river or sea water, can also burn and flow in the direction of water flow.

Before Ronald Clinton issued an emergency retreat order, the commander of the two-wing warship in charge of the attack had already ordered the warships to turn around and retreat at the speed of the battle, because some blue flame groups followed the current and chased the warship. .

Wildfire materials can float on the water and burn, and the burning time is still very long. What determines their direction is the direction of water flow.

For Heishui Bay, the Heishui River is just upstream. The royal battleships that fled into the Heishui River, don’t have to worry about wildfires burning on their ships—the water flows to Heishui Bay to form a swirling water. , And finally flow to the east and into the narrow sea.

Bang bang bang!

Under the pursuit of wildfire, several warships collided together again.

Loud chucks sounded one after another.

More than two hundred battleships, crowded in the same waters, are now all turning away from the wildfire. Out of fear of Melisandre's rumors, and even fear of wildfire, the battleships vying to retreat appeared in chaos.

Ronald Clinton’s flagship issued an order again, and all warships lowered their sails, because all the ships are now headwind. Dongfeng was a tailwind when it attacked, but now its retreat has become a headwind, a very powerful obstacle.

Lower the sails and all oars manually.

Just as the Lanly I’s navy retreated in a hurry to avoid the chaos of the wildfire battleship, Melisandre’s small fishing boat quietly passed the Heishui River on the upper reaches of the Heishui River under the cover of night The south bank went down the river and docked quietly not far from the Lanly army.

On the fishing boat, the knight in charge of rowing was more nervous than Melisandre. Melisandre, with a big belly, stared at the rowing knight with interest. The knight comes from the Balaemon family. He is a prolific free knight with very good water and boat skills.

"You're scared, knight." Melisandre's voice is really charming, and her exotic accent makes her charm always full of temptations.

"Madam, I'm not afraid, I'm just excited, and a little - nervous." The knight said.

"The one I prefer to row is Sir Davos. Although I don't like him very much, he is as confident as walking in the Red Fort in the dark. It is said that he is familiar with every area of ​​the narrow sea and knows any place. Are these rumors true of the reef situation?"

"Yes, ma'am. Lord Davos has unparalleled night boating skills. Before he became a knight, he smuggled in the narrow sea for at least ten years. Smugglers like to sail in the dark. He also worked with free trade city states. The different pirate fleets are very close, and they are called brothers."

"Oh, isn't it? It's a pity that he didn't come to see me this time. The credit this time has nothing to do with him. Send me ashore, knight, and wait for me on the boat."

"Yes, ma'am."

*

More than two hundred warships in the Blackwater Bay crashed several ships during the retreat, and hundreds of soldiers fell into the water. In the chaos, Ronald Clinton discovered that the burning range of the wildfire did not spread to the middle of Blackwater Bay, but the warship did not even want to dock.

Bang bang bang!

Several more battleships were driven by the turbulence into the waters of the Mermaid King’s Spear at the place of the Mermaid King’s Spear, and were pierced by the spear-like reefs below the waters. The sea water came up from the bottom of the ship, and no one nearby warships dared to rescue them.

The Spear of the Mermaid King is a landmark in Blackwater Bay. The tallest spear-shaped reef protruding from the sea is a hundred feet tall, and the shortest is just a thorn in the water. And under every "spear" that protrudes from the surface of the water, there are many spears hidden under the water.

For any ship, this area is extremely dangerous. Reefs hidden underwater will tear the bottom of every passing ship.

Once caught in the waters of the Spear of the Mermaid King, unless it is a flat-bottomed boat, any large ship with a deep draft cannot come out safely.

*

In the waters of Blackwater Bay, more than two hundred large warships retreated and turned together. It was indeed too crowded to exit this waters. And this is in the dark night, the storm is high.

Ronald Clinton’s flagship once again issued a safe order and ordered everyone through the sound of drums to pass through the waters of the Mermaid King’s Spear at a constant speed. First, half of the warships withdrew out of the Blackwater Bay, and the other 100 warships remained in the Blackwater Bay. The wildfire could not burn from the estuary of Heishuiwan.

*

High on the south bank of the Blackwater River, His Majesty Lanly and his rainbow guards, his knights and lords, the knights and lords of the Tyrell family, and the knights of Landau Tully are all watching the wildfires and The burning of wildfires in the Blackwater Bay. The wildfire forced the battleships led by Ronald Clinton, who had an absolute advantage, to retreat to avoid the fire. During the retreat, there were constant loud noises of warships colliding, the shouts of soldiers falling into the water, the shouts of officers commanding soldiers to rescue, and the warships of warships. The sound of giving orders, the soldiers' cursing and yelling, mixed together, resounding in the night sky...

In the woods, a black shadow traversed like the wind, with a black blade in his hand. He was more weird than the ghost. He passed through the scouts' bright and secret whistles, and no one found his existence. The forest of the Yulin is a dark world in the dark. Although the torch is lit in the barracks of the Yulin, the shadow cleverly avoids the light of all the torches along the way. In the shadow of the trees, it quickly approaches the rainbow knights. Lan Li I embraced by the family.
