Chapter 666: Complex situation, the Dornish attack!

Storm's End, with few troops and weak generals, the Tyrell family had surrounded the entire castle.

Facing such a difficult situation, Stannis could still persist for a full year in history until he was relieved by Eddard—Zhang Cheng suspected there must be a problem here.

After all, even if Storm's End was easy to defend and hard to attack, the Tyrell family's soldiers weren't vegetarians; how could they be unable to conquer it?

And Davos Seaworth, the Onion Knight, being able to enter Storm's End from the encirclement of the Redwyne fleet—Zhang Cheng felt there was a big problem.

After all, he had just fought the Redwyne family; facing the beyond-the-era galleons and clipper ships, the other party could almost make Zhang Cheng swim—one could imagine how powerful their combat strength was.

If it weren't for Zhang Cheng boarding the flagship and threatening Redwyne to surrender, he estimated that both sides suffering was the best ending.

So he guessed that Davos entering Storm's End was indicated by the Tyrell family; after all, as the shrewd Queen of Thorns of the Tyrell family, she definitely wouldn't watch Stannis and Renly starve to death, otherwise, this would truly form a blood feud!

Standing on the battlement, Zhang Cheng looked at the endless military camp, his heart currently full of gravity.

Because the Tyrell family's army, although it couldn't be counted as the strongest in Westeros, couldn't be this weak either!

"Count Count Count Celingen, what should we do now? Storm's End no longer has enough troops!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Stannis revealed a grave expression.

Because although he was the main general of Storm's End, in all aspects, he still had self-knowledge!

After all, even if he led the same fleet, he wouldn't be able to crush the Redwyne family!

Looking at Stannis beside him, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but smile, "Wait!"

"Wait for what?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng with suspicion, Stannis was puzzled.

"Wait for the Dornish, or news from the Riverlands!"

Speaking to Stannis beside him, Zhang Cheng currently couldn't think of a better combat method.

Don't think that medieval nobles don't know about things like night raids; the other party's vigilance was higher than Zhang Cheng imagined.

The lighting even extended to the foot of the Storm's End wall; one could imagine how afraid they were of Zhang Cheng leaving the city!

So in a stalemate, not moving was the best method.

He only needed to wait for Eddard and Robert to handle the Riverlands well; as for the Dornish reinforcements, Zhang Cheng intended to turn defense into offense after they arrived.

After all, him blocking two major families alone could already be counted as creating an excellent opportunity; if they still couldn't win, then he would admit it.

Because you've encountered such pig teammates, and you still want to win?

Storm's End, banquet hall.

The nobles remaining here were drinking and carousing one after another.

As a captive, Redwyne didn't have the slightest embarrassment; after all, everyone was an old acquaintance.

On the battlefield, each served their own master; at the banquet, they exchanged pleasantries—at least no one dared to find trouble with him; after all, his guest rights were set by Zhang Cheng!

"How is the food situation? How much longer can you persist?"

Looking at Stannis beside him, Zhang Cheng didn't expect that the battle wasn't even over yet, and they had already started playing music and dancing!

"Currently, we can persist for about two months!"

Hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Stannis hurriedly answered.

Frowning, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but tap the table, seemingly thinking about something.

"The war situation in the Riverlands is very bad; my brother has already been caught up by Randyll Tarly, and the army has completely scattered!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Stannis seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly explained. Hearing Stannis's words, Zhang Cheng didn't doubt it; after all, when Robert chose to head to the Riverlands, he had thought the other party would be chased and beaten.

But Robert being beaten so miserably was something Zhang Cheng completely didn't expect; after all, anyone who had read Sun Tzu's Art of War wouldn't make such an absurd decision!

Robert: What is Sun Tzu's Art of War?

Zhang Cheng: You ask that Gao guy who sells fish in Jinghai, he knows!

Gao guy:

Riverlands, the war became incomparably complex from the beginning.

After all, Robert, who had fought the Battle of Summerhall, was actually hammered like a grandson by Randyll Tarly at Ashford!

Defeated all the way here, most of the soldiers were also scattered.

Stoney Sept, Jon Connington, who followed Prince Rhaegar, had already arrived with troops.

They sealed off the entire town and started searching for Robert, but they didn't find his trace at all.

For a Royalist knight, Jon Connington could choose another way, which was to slaughter the town!

That's right, it was to slaughter everyone in Stoney Sept to ferret out Robert, but Jon Connington didn't make this choice.

But this way of doing things was dangerous, which was that the armies of Eddard and the Tully family had arrived.

Upon meeting, both sides launched a fierce street battle directly.

A large number of soldiers slaughtered each other in the narrow aisles, causing the entire town to be covered in blood.

And at this critical moment, Robert finally appeared.

Riding a warhorse and holding a warhammer, Robert beheaded several nobles in a row and then directly seized the scales of victory.

Facing the inability to turn the tide, Jon Connington was also forced to choose to retreat.

And this battle was the famous Battle of the Bells!

It was also the battle that made everyone realize that this was a war sufficient to shake the Targaryen family's rule since the Blackfyre Rebellion!

However, even though Jon Connington preserved a large number of soldiers and nobles, he was still considered by the Mad King Aerys to be incompetent, directly stripped of his fief, and exiled!

Facing Aerys's actions, panic arose within the Royalist army; after all, they clearly knew that if it weren't for Jon Connington's command, most of them would have died in the Battle of the Bells.

But even Jon Connington, who had turned the tide, was treated like this by Aerys, so what would happen to them in the future?

When the morale began to gradually dissipate, Prince Rhaegar appeared; this time he would personally lead the army to the Riverlands to command the battle.

And at the same time, the Dornish army also crossed Storm's End and began to rush toward the Trident!

!

Because that would be the place that decided the winner!

Looking at the Dornish army leaving one after another, Zhang Cheng's eyes began to flicker.

Because the great war had continued to the present, both sides had already played all their cards.

How the Tyrell family thought, Zhang Cheng was undoubtedly too clear—that was betting on both sides.

Attacking was impossible; if Stannis and Renly died, then the fun would be big.

So both sides were maintaining restraint; Zhang Cheng also understood the other party's thoughts, so every time he attacked the city, he would symbolically shout twice, and the other party would retreat.

This was like throwing a match, but no one gave the two money.

However, on this dark night, the warships that had been docked for a long time began to raise their sails.

Watching Zhang Cheng leaving before him, Stannis's face revealed seriousness, "Are you leaving, Count Count Count Celingen?"

"Yes, I will give Rhaegar a severe lesson at the Trident, which is: how much water I released at the tournament! So that he could win the championship!"

Looking at Stannis before him, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but smile.

"Since that's the case, everything is entrusted to you!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng seriously, Stannis couldn't help but become serious.

Hearing Stannis's words, Zhang Cheng patted his shoulder and said, "You will be a qualified knight in the future!"

Finishing this sentence, Zhang Cheng turned and boarded the ship, because the final battle had begun.
