"Kill!"

A Dornish warrior in the front row had just slipped into the deep and wide trench when he saw the Riverbenders behind the wooden fence throwing a barrel down at him——

Barrel?

The Dornish warrior was stunned for a moment, then turned slightly and nimbly dodged the barrel.

But the barrel was very weak and smashed to pieces on the ground, and the liquid inside splashed all over him.

He panicked for a moment, thinking it was some kind of poison, but after waiting for a while, he didn't notice any physical discomfort.

Instead, I smelled a strong aroma of wine.

At the same time, he also noticed that not only him, but others also received the same treatment-barrel attack.

But what harm can it do?

The strange scene made the Dornish people a little stunned.

Of course, they quickly woke up and while avoiding the barrels hitting them, they launched an attack on the crude fortification in front of them.

The trench is slightly deeper than a normal person's height, and the slope angle is not large. Since it is for emergency repair, there are protruding rocks everywhere on the slope, so it is not difficult to climb.

Just be careful to avoid the barrels - it's actually not a big deal if you get hit.

Soon, Dorn warriors climbed out of the trench.

But at this time, they encountered strong resistance.

Behind the wooden fence stood a row of soldiers holding spears. Among them were River bend people and dark-skinned savages. However, under the unified command, they all thrust out the spears in their hands.

For a moment, it felt like a steel forest was coming.

The Dornish warriors who reacted quickly either rolled to dodge or raised their shields to block, but there were also those who reacted slowly, or those who did not believe in evil and wanted to fight hard with their swords. Basically, they all had a few more blood holes in their bodies.

The Dornish people were not deterred by the dense array of spears. They were not savages and had much higher fighting skills. While dodging the spears, they took advantage of the enemy's opportunity to retract their spears and rushed up to climb the wooden fence.

After several rounds of spear stabbings, few Dornishmen who were familiar with the Riverbend men's tricks were stabbed. Instead, several Dornishmen jumped over the wooden fence and entered the Riverbend men's spear array.

Of course, the sporadic Dornishmen were unable to cause damage to the Riverbend formation.

However, the Dornishmen did not give up.

They were still launching attacks, and as more and more Dornishmen climbed over the wooden fence, the formation of the Riverbend men already showed signs of instability.

But at this moment, the Hebend people actually chose to retreat, giving up the first line of defense very decisively.

A Dornish knight wearing a dark yellow cloak climbed over the fence and chopped down a Riverbend soldier, but looking at the Riverbend soldiers retreating in an orderly manner, he ultimately did not take the risk to catch up.

Behind them, more and more Dornish warriors jumped over the wooden fence and completely occupied this line of defense.

"Sir, do we want to pursue him?"

The knight looked at the two similar fences in front of him and the half-built castle in the middle, shook his head and said:

"Rest where you are. Go and tell Lord Urick about the situation here."

"yes."

When Urick in the rear heard the report from the front line, he was a little confused for a moment.

This was probably the weirdest battle he had ever fought in his career.

It was weird from the start.

He didn't know whether it was the Sir Caesar opposite who didn't understand military affairs and was messing around, or whether the enemy had some conspiracy.

Urrick felt that the latter was the most likely.

After all, Sir Caesar can establish himself in a place like the Crimson Mountains and make tens of thousands of savages surrender. He doesn't look like a fool.

"Where are the barrels they threw? Find one and show it to me." Urrick decided to be more cautious.

"yes."

Soon, the soldier ran back with a barrel.

This was abandoned by the River Bend people behind the first line of defense before they could be thrown out, so it was intact.

Urick took a closer look and found that this was an ordinary oak barrel, but the iron hoops around the barrel were deliberately damaged, so the entire barrel fell apart with a casual collision.

He carefully opened the cork of the barrel, and then smelled the rich aroma of wine.

It's brandy.

Urric was certainly impressed by this wine. He originally planned to cooperate with Sir Caesar to sell this wine.

But why did the other party throw out all the wine?

This thing can't kill people.

Due to technical reasons, the nobles of Westeros know very little about high-concentration spirits, let alone that alcohol can be ignited when the alcohol content is high.

Therefore, Urric could not associate wine with fire.

Is it poisonous?

This was the only possibility Urric could think of.

He was startled, quickly put down the barrel, and said to the soldier:

"Tell the soldiers not to touch the alcohol, to keep their mouths and noses tightly closed and not to let the alcohol enter their bodies."

"yes."

Afterwards, Ulrik asked the vanguard to rest at the first line of defense and replaced it with a second group of 300 warriors to attack the Riverbender's second line of defense.

The offensive and defensive battle of the second line of defense is very good, almost a replica of the offensive and defensive battle of the first line of defense.

The inexplicable wooden barrels and the temporary trenches were dug out. The only threats were the wooden fence and the gun array behind it. However, because the defense line was too long and there were not enough people in the Reach, it was easy for the Dornishmen to find a gap and climb over.

However, it was the same this time. More and more Dornish people climbed over the fence in front of them, and the River Bend people took the initiative to retreat when they saw that the situation was wrong.

The Dornishmen did not pursue rashly, but occupied the second line of defense in an orderly manner, and then continued to attack the third line.

It's still the same script.

However, with previous experience, the Dornishmen occupied the third line of defense this time without even paying many casualties.

At this time, there was only the last line of defense left in front of them——

The unfinished castle.

At this time, even the most cautious Dornish warriors could not help but feel proud.

"Haha, when did the people of the River Bend become so cowardly? They don't even dare to confront each other head-on?"

"Yes. However, the team is quite neatly arranged."

"Especially neat when retreating! Hahaha..."

The battlefield was filled with a happy atmosphere, and the Dornish warriors talked and laughed in a relaxed manner, as if they were on an outing.

Ulric still frowned. He personally came to the last line of defense and looked at the half-finished castle.

Compared with the previous three crudely made wooden fences, the walls of this castle are quite decent. The outer wall is very smooth, with almost no footholds. It is difficult to climb without the help of tools. It also has two layers, inner and outer, and no large siege equipment.

If so, it cannot be destroyed by force.

But it is a pity that the city wall has not been completed yet. It is only a dozen feet high. It is not difficult to attack by force.

If the Reachers inside were still the same cowards as before, Urric even thought he could have dinner in this unfinished castle.

So, he decided to test it out first.

"Knight Aris, take 300 men and capture this so-called castle for me!"

"Yes, sir!"
Chapter completed!
