The Wall.
Commander-in-chief Geo Mormont and the rangers he led went on an expedition to Beyond the Wall, but they all died at the hands of White Walkers.
The king of Free Folk (Wildlings), Mance Rayder saw the opportunity and prepared to send troops to attack Castle Black and capture the Wall in one fell swoop. He sent several Wildlings teams to climb over Wall, hoping to attack Castle Black from both sides.
Snow and "Fire Kiss" Ygritte are separated. They are in different camps. The tragedy of this love has long been doomed.
Castle Black released all Raven and asked for help from all the castles of Westeros.
An army of one hundred thousand Wildlings is approaching, and it is difficult for Castle Black to resist with more than one hundred Night's Watch.
Outside Winterfell.
Roose Bolton adopted conventional siege tactics, dividing his five thousand troops into four groups, surrounding Winterfell in four different directions, and then sent out multiple scout teams to approach Winterfell to investigate the situation.
The reason why he was so cautious was entirely because of the rumors on the road about the reappearance of giant dragons and the resurrection of dead bodies.
Moreover, he didn't quite know how many vassals Stark had summoned when he suddenly appeared. How many families had sent him troops? How many people were there in these troops?
To be on the safe side, he decided to test it out first.
The four scout teams approached cautiously and came to the four city walls.
They found that there was no archer defense on the city wall, but the city wall was a little weird. Not only was it covered with thick ice, but there was also an ice wall superimposed on the top of the city wall, which doubled the height of the city wall.
Although it was strange, the scouts had no time to think about it.
Since there is no defensive force on the city wall, they should find a way to climb in and explore the situation inside the city.
The ice surface is smooth, and even if the scouts are good climbers, they still have to use their tools to break through the ice in order to gain a point of strength.
A magical scene happened. The ice was extremely solid, like steel. The "ice pick"-like tools in their hands were all broken, but they still could not break the ice.
At this time, they all remembered Gary's nickname - Bing Wizard.
"This is not ordinary ice. Let's retreat first."
The four scout teams returned without success and all retreated to the main army.
The Bolton coalition is setting up camp, and the siege of the city will definitely be a protracted battle. Moreover, the army that has traveled a long distance also needs to repair and recuperate overnight.
In the main account.
After learning the news, Roose Bolton dismissed the scouts and began to discuss with the generals of the coalition forces.
"There are no dragons, no armies of the dead, and it is not difficult to repair the city wall with ice in winter, so there is no such thing as Ice Magic."
Roose As soon as Bolton said this, the generals in the tent laughed.
None of them had participated in that martial arts tournament and had never seen Magic with their own eyes, so naturally they didn't believe it.
"Luke·Stark has occupied Winterfell for less than a month. To repair the city wall like this, at least two hundred people are needed."
"No, the scouts are close to the city wall, but they don't dare to come out and shoot arrows to fight back. I think there are less than a hundred people in the city."
"House Stark's three thousand troops died in Luanhe City. Luke·Stark could only summon the army of vassals. He came back in such a hurry that the nobles along the way didn't have time to visit. I guess there are only fifty people in Winterfell."
The number of enemies became smaller and smaller, and the smiles on the faces of the generals became brighter and brighter.
Roose Bolton said with a gloomy face, "Since there are only so many people in Winterfell, I will give you one night to capture it for me. Who is willing to send troops? Huh?"
The generals were immediately silent, no one dared to accept this military order.
Roose Bolton walked around the generals very seriously, "He is a Stark. We all know the meaning of Stark to the North. If we continue to waste time, those vassals loyal to Stark will arrive with their armies."
"How can everyone here still talk and laugh at that time? How arrogant!"
He slapped the table and scolded, "Everyone listen to the order! Prepare for a surprise attack tonight! We only have seven days at most. If we can't take Winterfell, I will burn Winterfell again and make you and Bolton bear the infamy."
"Yes."
The generals put away their smiles and responded solemnly.
"Father."
Ramsay·Snow knelt down and begged, "Please give me a team. I was able to win Winterfell last time, and I can definitely do it this time."
Last time you were able to win Winterfell, wasn't it because of Theon·Greyjoy's stupidity?
Roose Bolton thought for a while and said, "I will give you three hundred people, take your Reek to meet that Luke·Stark. Let Reek see clearly whether that person is really Luke·Stark."
"If it's true, you'll find a way to shoot him. If it's not..., just leave him alive. I'll be of great use."
The corners of Ramsay·Snow's mouth twitched. If he really dared to shoot Luke·Stark during the conversation, then he himself might not survive.
My father is so cruel, I am his only son now!
Ramsay·Snow did not dare to resist Roose·Boton's order, so he bowed his head and said yes.
Winterfell.
Gary and Daenerys put on their plate armor. They first placed all the nuns in the cellar for refuge, and then came to the north wall to observe the situation.
"What's the point of surrounding a city but standing still? There are only two of us, what are they afraid of?"
Daenerys felt that the plate armor on her body was shaking. She walked unsteadily behind Gary and guessed. "They should be wary of Drogon, right? But where did Drogon go, and why hasn't he come back yet?"
Gary looked at the ice field outside. It was what he could rely on to release the large Ice Magic, and it was also where he had the confidence to defend the city.
However, Drogon's absence did put him in an extremely passive situation. Otherwise, he could even choose to take the initiative.
"Luke! Come out! I am Theon·Greyjoy, my master wants to see you!"
When Gary heard Theon's voice, his face turned dark instantly.
He stepped on the ice city wall and saw Theon wearing iron armor and riding a war horse below the city wall.
Theon was followed by hundreds of infantrymen, and there was a black-haired man next to him. The man was slightly fat, had thick lips, and had a sinister chill in his movements. He looked ugly, and he should be "Little Skinned" Ramsay.
Gary is speechless. Ramsay in the series "Game of Thrones" is a bit handsome. Why is this Ramsay so ugly?
He turned to look at Theon and shouted, "Theon... hehe, you are dressed like a human, I almost forgot that you are a eunuch now."
Theon's face changed greatly, but he couldn't get angry and had to fulfill his master's order. "Take off your helmet and let me see your face!"
Gary lifted up his visor and spat downwards, "Bah, now you are no longer a human but a dog? I am not that generous. If you kill Ser Kesso, I will kill you!"
Ramsay approached Theon and asked, "How is it? Is it Luke·Stark?"
Because the city wall is too high, Theon can't see clearly what Gary looks like. "Can't see clearly, the sound is very similar, let me ask again."
He shouted, "You have to prove your identity. If you are really Luke·Stark, we will withdraw our troops. Let me ask you, back then..."
"Whoops."
An ice arrow pierced Theon's head, interrupting his next words.
Gary put down the ice bow indifferently, "I'm not in the mood to reminisce with you, go down and atone for your sins."
