Brothers' Fury (Bleeding Land Trilogy 2) - Plot & Excerpts
‘He wasn’t bloody fibbing.’ Mun did not answer for he was thinking of all that they had achieved since they had chased the rebel horse from Chalgrove Field. Since then they had all but destroyed Parliament’s Western Association army at Roundway Down and the King’s Council of War now pressed the importance of securing the routes between Wales, the West Country and Oxford by laying hold of the rebel strongholds of Bristol and Gloucester. Bristol, England’s second city and the most important port on the west coast, was to be the first prize and now Mun and O’Brien stood facing east, the sun on their backs as they looked down across the River Frome and into the city. Bristol’s houses and churches, its shops, inns, alehouses, streets, alleys and yards were dominated by three hills to the north-west and Redcliffe Hill to the south. To the south the River Avon, around which Bristol had been built, flowed like molten metal, reflecting the July sun. The Parliamentarians had thus decided to fortify the eminences to the north to prevent the Royalists from using them to bombard the city, but this series of forts, connected by lines of earthwork ditches and redans, would not keep Prince Rupert out.
