They had the city and the army had surrendered. Even if they did not breach the keep they could have waited on them or attacked the keep directly.SuburbanFarmer wrote: ↑Sun May 12, 2019 9:00 pmActually, I expected Jamie to get in to see Cersei, side with her, and use the bells as a trap. As it turned out, it didn't matter either way. Probably a smart move tactically for Dani, but she lost the kingdom.
- How did none of those ballistas get a clean shot at the damn dragon?!??
The scorpion's did get as clean a shot as they were going to get. Remember the attack that shot the dragon last week was an ambush. This time she could recon see where the scorpions are and plan accordingly. She used the sun and cloud cover and went straight in giving it the smallest target area. And in a straight on one on one shot the dragon has enough agility to dodge that shot, So they are forced to fire in volleys, dodge a volley, quick flank and roll them up before they can turn and reload. Rinse and repeat, and if you can come from behind and make them try to turn those things, forget it.
Notice all the little green wildfire explosions while she was strafing houses. I think Cersei did have a trap waiting. She just never expected Dany to do it.
Dany will be proven right, but it won’t matter. Tragic ending for all, Jon either takes the throne or dies next week. I’m actually on the edge of my seat to find out.
But no, the guys at the other end of the wall should have been turning to aim as soon as she showed up. At least one or two should have hit.
