Chapter five hundred and fiftieth second broken city
The Iron Fleet made a surprise attack on Lannisport from the sea, tearing apart the city's defenses. Once there was a loophole in the airtight defense, the result would be an avalanche.
The walls of Lannisport were blown down by dragon flames, and the Targaryen army poured into the city. Oberyn led the way with a spear in his hand, his body covered with blood and his eyes red from the killing.
"Go to hell!"
A Lannister soldier lying on the ground pretending to be dead wanted to kill Oberyn in a sneak attack.
puff
However, the Red Viper pierced his chest with a spear first, blood gushed out like a fountain, and he took his last breath with reluctance in his eyes.
"Everyone! Dig down and search for me!"
"Find Tywin's old dog! Don't let him get away!"
The Dornish general, who was covered in blood, roared angrily, his black eyes filled with bloodshot eyes.
He had been waiting for this day for too long, and now he finally defeated Tywin, and the dawn of victory was close at hand.
"Roar!"
When the surrounding Targaryen soldiers heard the words of their legion commander, they immediately responded in unison and drew their swords to execute the Western soldiers who were still lingering on the ground.
The Western Army resisted very tenaciously in this battle, and the city was also loyal to the Lannister family, causing the Targaryen army to pay a heavy price.
Tywin Lannister, as a well-known commander in Westeros, was very experienced in using troops. He did not give Oberyn any chance at every step, and for a time Oberyn was helpless.
However, there is no impermeable wall, and even the strongest fortress will have loopholes. Oberyn finally seized Tywin's loophole and breached the city.
But this does not mean that Tywin lost to his opponent in terms of ability.
After all, Targaryen's army was supported by dragons, and he was able to hold on to the West for several months, which was considered a very tenacious resistance, and even forced Oberyn into a desperate situation.
A few months ago, the Reach sent troops, and the Targaryen army's retreat was cut off. Crake Hall was regained and lost. Tywin personally led the army and sandwiched the Targaryen army in the middle. There was a risk of the entire army being annihilated at any time.
.
At that time, the dragon knights from King's Landing had not yet arrived, so Oberyn quickly adopted a strategy that Tywin had not thought of. He led his army into the Western Realm and headed towards Casterly Rock at all costs.
As its name suggests, Casterly Rock literally means that it is a castle standing on a huge rock. Its walls are tall and indestructible. Casterly Rock has never fallen in history.
However, before Oberyn set out, Tyrion told him a secret about Casterly Rock.
When Tyrion was a child, he often played with his brother Jaime in the Hall of Heroes at Casterly Rock.
This is the cemetery of the Lannister family. Those who died heroically among the Lannister family and their close relatives may be buried here. The Hall of Heroes was built underground outside Casterly Rock City, close to the sea.
And Tyrion remembered that when he was a child, every time a tide hit, bursts of thunder would come from the ground of the Hall of Heroes.
At that time, his brother Jaime did not take this seriously, but Tyrion, who has been simple, kind and considerate since he was a child, has always remembered this incident.
Later, when Tyrion grew up to the age of sixteen, he yearned for the outside world and proposed to his father that he wanted to follow the example of his uncles and visit the Free Trade City when they were sixteen.
However, he was ruthlessly rejected by Lord Tywin, who believed that Tyrion's visit to the Free Trade City on behalf of the Lannister family would bring shame to the family.
Moreover, at that time, the Targaryen army had already established a foothold on the continent of Essos, built a new city, and was threatening Pentos.
Tywin was worried that Viserys would seize Tyrion's visit to the Free Cities and use it to threaten the Lannister family.
He was not worried that Tyrion would die in the hands of Viserys, but that if Tyrion really fell into the hands of the other party, Tywin would have to save him, because it was related to the honor of the family.
So in the end Tywin rejected Tyrion's request to travel around the world and sent him to clean and repair the sewers in Casterly Rock.
Because he believes that it is difficult for normal people to fit into the body shape, and Tyrion is just right for it. What kind of person should do what kind of thing.
It was when Tyrion was humiliated by his father to clean and repair the sewers in Casterly Rock that he discovered that there was a secret passage connected to the sea in the Hero's Highness, which could allow a ship to pass through.
Therefore, the sound of water can be heard underground when the tide rises. From here, this secret passage can lead directly to the interior of Casterly Rock.
He told this secret to Oberyn, and Oberyn led his army to break out of the siege in the direction of Casterly Rock in a desperate situation.
Then Oberyn personally went into battle and led more than 20 experts to sneak into Casterly Rock from the sea along the secret passage that Tyrion had mentioned.
The Targaryen army suddenly appeared in Casterly Rock City like divine soldiers descending from heaven, catching the Lannister army by surprise and capturing the gate of Casterly Rock City in one fell swoop.
Later, in response to the internal and external cooperation, the Targaryen army poured in from the outside world and miraculously succeeded in capturing this majestic city that had never been captured in history.
And then Tywin Lannister, who followed the Targaryen army closely, could only "look at the city and sigh" again.
He led his troops to storm Casterly Rock as if to vent his anger, but this time the subject and object were reversed. The Targaryen army occupied Casterly Rock, and the Lannister army became the attackers.
However, Casterly Rock is still that majestic city, so the Lannister army was unable to attack it for a long time. In the end, they had to stop temporarily and surrounded Casterly Rock, blocking all news in and out.
Because of this, while all the seven countries are recuperating, news from the Western Region has not been spread for a long time.
In the end, it was the spies of Varys the Eight-clawed Spider who desperately managed to detect some information, and then sent it back to King's Landing. Only then did the Imperial Council of the Iron Throne learn that Oberyn was in a difficult situation at this moment.
Then Viserys made the decision to send Rhaenys Targaryen, the eldest princess of the dynasty, and ordered her to ride the dragon Rhaegal to rescue his uncle. The arrival of the dragon saved Oberyn from the predicament.
was rescued.
The Lannister army retreated from the outskirts of Casterly Rock, imitating Dorne's original tactics against the dragon knights, and abandoned some large cities and castles except Lannisport.
In the following months, the dragons continued to burn the Western Territory, and the Lannister army moved to the deep mountains and forests to fight guerrillas with the dragons, struggling to resist the Targaryen invaders.
Until finally, the Targaryen army surrounded Lannisport in groups, preparing to capture the largest and most densely populated city in the West, triggering a decisive battle on the battlefield in the West.
