Chapter 424 War Start
 Today, this small town located on the south bank of the Heishui River has become a real military fortress.
 After the Lannister family took it from Caesar's army, they reinforced it again. The city wall was not too high, only more than twenty feet, but the base of the city wall was extremely wide, enough to be more than ten feet, shaped like a Trapezoidal embankment.
 Samwell knew that the enemy made such a modification to prevent himself from blowing up the city wall with gunpowder again.
 The wide and thick base ensures the stability of the city wall. Even if the bottom is bombed with gunpowder, the entire city wall will not collapse.
 It has to be said that the Lannister family has indeed been paying attention and vigilance to Samwell, and has a deep understanding and research on his offensive methods, and has also come up with a good countermeasure.
 Of course, there are gains and losses. Such a city wall is not as effective as an ordinary tall and towering city wall when dealing with traditional methods of siege.
 In addition, a large number of giant crossbows were deployed at the top of the city, apparently specially designed to deal with dragons.
 It can be seen that the Lannister family has really exhausted all means to deal with such a powerful enemy as Caesar.
 And the effect is also very significant, Caesar's two major siege weapons - gunpowder and giant dragons have been restricted to the greatest extent.
 But no matter what, Samwell is already bound to win this camp.
 If you can't find a coincidence, then use the most traditional means to attack.
 No matter what the price is, Samwell must take down the fortress in front of him.
 Not only because this place is just stuck at the intersection of Rose Avenue and King's Avenue, and the Confederate Army can't bypass this place if they want to continue going north, but also because Samwell must let the flames of war ignite and let his noble knights fight, so that No one will continue to be half-hearted.
 From the most rational point of view, now is indeed not the best time to start a war.
 But this time point is uncomfortable for Samwell, and even more uncomfortable for Tywin.
 And Samwell knew that his enemy had never been the Lannister family. Although Tywin was powerful, he really didn't let Samwell take it seriously.
 Only the aliens from beyond the Great Wall are Samwell's life and death enemies, and the life and death enemies of all human beings.
 Before the official arrival of winter, he must end the civil war and unite the forces of the seven nations to face this real catastrophe and terror.
 So, on the day the vanguard arrived, Samwell gave the order to attack.
 The weather on this day was very good. It was a rare sunny day after the continuous autumn rain. The dazzling sunshine swayed on the land, and even made people feel a hint of midsummer.
 But this is just an illusion. As winter approaches, midsummer has already been buried.
 When Samwell's order was passed on, the army outside the city began to form an offensive queue, and the officers ran and shouted in the queue, boosting morale, and doing the final mobilization before the battle.
 Pillars of smoke rose immediately in the city, and harsh sirens wafted in the air. Soldiers from the Western Territory rushed to the city wall one after another, and also began to line up at the top of the city.
 A tense and anxious atmosphere echoed in the city.
 It has to be said that the moment Caesar's army arrived, it caused great psychological pressure on these Westerners.
 This kind of psychological pressure not only comes from the huge white dragon, but also from Caesar's terrifying reputation of being invincible.
 The experience of the Storm King has long been a legend in the continent of Westeros. Even as an enemy, he has to admit that Caesar's rise is so fast, terrifying, and unstoppable. I am afraid that only the conqueror three hundred years ago can do it. On a par with it.
 No one dares to take Caesar's attack lightly.
 Davon Lannister stood at the head of the city, looking at the army outside the city with extremely complicated eyes.
 He clearly remembered that just three short years ago, that Storm King had been defeated by him. Although thinking about it now, Dafeng feels more and more that the competition on Qingting Island was full of conspiracy and calculations.
 And that "victory" did not bring him any sweet taste at all.
 Over the years, Dafon has been looking for an opportunity to face Caesar again. He wants to prove that since he was able to single-handedly knock this person off his horse, he will definitely win again, even though Caesar has gradually become invincible on the battlefield over the years. The name.
 He has never been so eager to prove his bravery with the blood of his old enemy.
 "The Lannisters must win!" Davon raised his sword high and shouted wildly.
 "Victory! Victory! Victory!"
 The soldiers of the western border raised their weapons one after another, beating their chests continuously, showing the same determination to defend the city as the general.
 The army outside the city was still making pre-war arrangements in an orderly manner, as if they hadn't heard of the changes at the top of the city.
 The long trumpet finally sounded, sounding the first note of this war.
 Samwell rode a white dragon up into the sky, looked down, and saw groups of Confederate soldiers, like ants, holding round shields in one hand and wooden ladders on their shoulders, marching towards the fort ahead.
 After reaching a certain distance, the archers at the top of the city shot arrows, and the arrows shot down like a rainstorm.
 Fortunately, the Southern Army did not lack armor, and even the most ordinary soldiers could wear a full set of leather armor.
 The arrow broke through the outer military uniform and was blocked by the inner leather armor.
 But there are dozens of giant crossbows at the top of the city.
 Originally these giant crossbows were prepared for Caesar's giant dragon, but seeing that the white dragon did not join the battlefield, the soldiers of the western border used them to deal with the siege army.
 With a sharp whistle, thick arrows drew arcs visible to the naked eye in the air, and shot at the siege army.
 The arrows fired by this kind of giant crossbow cannot be resisted by leather armor, not even steel armor.
 Once shot, it will be torn apart.
 The siege army continued to scream and blood flowed out, which officially kicked off the prelude to this tragic siege battle.
 The drums were rumbling, and the siege army launched trebuchets and artillery.
 That's right, after all, Samwell asked Bachelor Coburn to develop land-based artillery, but for the convenience of transportation, these artillery are smaller than the artillery loaded on the battleship, and their power is naturally not as good.
 Boom boom boom!
 In the first round of test firing, shells and stones flew high into the air and fell on the thick city wall, making a terrifying bang bang.
 But in the face of this kind of special city wall specially designed to prevent blasting and artillery bombardment, the effect is really not good. The wall has withstood this round of attacks with only a slight trembling.
 However, although it has little effect on the wall, it has a pretty good deterrent effect on the western soldiers at the top of the city.
 The sound of huge stones and shells flying in the air and then slamming down, as well as the visual shock, can well shake the will of the enemy soldiers to fight.
 Especially the artillery shells, which use special explosive shells, will explode once they fall into the city, and the power generated can instantly smash the nearby enemies to pieces. people.
