95 Chapter 92

After an hour of the Artillery bombarding the walls of Kingslanding, the Dwarves started advancing on the walls in formation, with the praetorian guards behind them.

The Cannon's had made multiple opening's in the city's wall and had broken all three of the Gates, leaving them open for the Imperial army to charge through.

And that is just what happened as Dáin who was leading the attack on the King's Gate ordered the 8k Goats to charge in and break up the enemy lines.

Seeing that the Artillery had stopped firing, Ser Daven Lannister moved his troops into position along the breaches of the wall, prepared to throw the wildfire. The frontline soldier's would form a shield wall protecting the men throwing the glass bottles from the rear.

But his plan wasn't going to work the way that he wanted, since from the Imperial army he saw some strange creatures that looked like giant goats with Dwarves on the back of them begin charging towards the breach.

He knew this was the enemy Cav and wasn't going to take any chances, so he reinforced his frontline with more shield infantry and had the Thrower's already armed with the Wildfire bottles to counter the enemy charge.

Once the goat's had made their way past the formation, they started picking up speed and charging through the Breaches in the wall. The Lannister soldier's had fear in their eyes as the massive goat's got closer and closer until they were about to pass the breeches.

That's when Ser Daven Lannister gave the order for the soldier's to throw the bottles at the breaches. The frontline Dwarven Cav was hit as the glass broke on impact and the green liquid from the bottle was all over the front of their armor.

After that, Ser Daven Lannister ordered the archer's to shoot fire arrows at the Cav since they were only near a hundred feet from clashing with the frontline. The Archer's released their first volley of arrows at the Cav which did little to no damage at all.

A very few amount of the Cav was killed by the arrows and the Wildfire didn't even do anything since it has already been replaced by the Ninja with another harmless liquid that wouldn't ignite into fire.

Seeing that the arrows did nothing to the Cav the frontline soldier's could only sit there and brace for the charge as the Goats completely ran through them breaking the frontlines of the Lannister army.

Hundred's if not thousands of soldier's died from the initial charge, with some casualties also on the Dwarves side. But their only mission was to break up the frontline, and after that they retreated.

Ser Daven tried to rebuild his frontlines, but the that charge alone had broken the frontline soldier's moral, so he used the rear line and transferred them as the new frontline since the Dwarven infantry were now charging through the breaches in full speed with the Praetorian Guards behind them.

But the Lannister soldiers were not able to set up the shield wall in time before the Dwarves had charged into the broken frontline, while some injured Lannister soldiers were still trying to run away.

The Rear line soldiers charged forward to protect the ones retreating and were holding the Dwarves back. But once the Praetorian Guards charged in along with the Dwarves, the Lannister's started to lose their ground and be pushed back.

Ser Daven had seen this and had ordered the archers to fire at will since the Imperial army was bunched up in a group and because of that it would be easier to hit them since they weren't spread out.

They were using normal arrows since lighting an arrow on fire would take too long then just shooting a normal arrow, plus it was the day time, so there was no need.

As the Archer's released the first volley, one of the Imperial soldier's had yelled 'Archer's watch out' Causing the other soldier's to raise their shields and block the oncoming arrows. Those in the frontline unfortunately were fighting, so they were unable to block the arrows, causing some of them to get hit.

That's when the Elven Archer's that had finally got into position had returned fire on the Lannister archer's. Because of the Elven Archer's and their Elite Bow skills, the first volley from them decimated the Lannister Archer's who didn't even have a chance to shoot another volley.

Even the Situation on the frontline was getting hectic that Ser Daven had to personally join in order to get his men back into the fight.

Meanwhile, on at the Northern Gates where the Dornish army was attacking the walls with the siege tower's that they were given. The battle was more intense as the Dornish who were taught how to use the Siege tower's over the night had quickly adapted to using them.

It wasn't rocket science, so learning how to use it overnight was easy for them, even Prince Doran was surprised at how easy it was.

Anyway, the Siege tower's had made their way towards the walls and the ramps were let down. The Lannister soldier's on the wall didn't know what these strange towers were, but after seeing the ramp get let down, they had a clue as to what was about to happen.

And what happened next didn't surprise them, as Dornish soldier's had rushed down out of the Siege Tower down the Ramp and started fighting with the soldier's on the wall.

This was happening all over the Southern walls, though some Siege towers were hit by the Artillery which was behind the wall. Those that did make it were used to take the walls, while those that didn't were abandoned since it was no longer useful.

Prince Doran wanted to take the walls so that his army can get rid of the Artillery that has already killed a lot of his men.

Meanwhile, near the port of Kingslanding hundreds of ships could be seen in the sea carrying Imperial soldier's. General Julius was in the middle of the fleet on his ship as he looked through a telescope at the shore of Kingslanding where they would be landing.

He saw the Lannister soldier's already lined up on the walls awaiting their arrival, but since the Lannister's were already fighting on two fronts, there were only about 25k soldier's defending the wall.

With Julius and his 32k Praetorian Guards and 8k Elven Archer's taking the wall wouldn't take that long.

Cersei was in the castle with Tommen, who was protected by hundreds of Guards. Because of this, the moral of the soldiers weren't that high, unlike the battle of blackwater where their King was on the Frontlines with them boosting their morale.

Cersei didn't want to expose her last remaining son to the danger of being on the frontlines with the soldier's even if it would boost their moral.

Unfortunately, she didn't know just how much having the presence of the King on the Frontline would boost the Moral of the soldiers and make them fight better and harder.
