Dominate the Game of Thrones with Mount and Blade

Chapter 97 I can still fight (Additional update for the alliance leader Zi Zhiyu)

For the Hejian Army, the situation on the battlefield was very unoptimistic.

Five hundred heavy cavalrymen from the Western Region surrounded them from both sides, followed by nearly two thousand soldiers from various families in the Western Region.

In front of the Hejian Army were unexplored traps, crossbowmen protected by sword and axemen, and hundreds of Lion soldiers.

And their coach is still buried in the pit.

Fortunately, most of the infantry were soldiers of the Bracken family, and Shili City was regarded as the home battle.

Therefore, after the protruding cavalry in front stopped, someone discovered traces of passive movement on the ground.

So nearly 2,400 infantrymen from various river houses stopped in front of the trap area.

"Quick, get the people up first." The Bracken officer named Andrew commanded.

Previously, in Arthur's conflict with Crowtree City, it was he who led Hendry to lend five hundred soldiers.

This time, he was also one of the infantry commanders of the visiting troops.

The incident happened suddenly, and the Hejian soldiers could only use long pole weapons to pull out the nobles and shield soldiers who had fallen into the pit.

Other pitfalls are difficult to deal with, but Arthur's pitfall is quite easy.

The men and horses were piled up to two-thirds of the height of the pit, and only a body-length ax could pull the top man out.

Some shield soldiers gathered in front of the pit to block the crossbow arrows fired from the front, while dozens of soldiers were responsible for pulling people up.

Patrick yelled the most enthusiastically, so he was pulled out by the ordinary cavalry in the pit. Then one of them hugged him from below, and the two of them pulled him on the edge of the pit. Finally, the eldest son of Haijiang City was able to get out.

"Arthur is at the bottom. Get him out quickly or he will be crushed." he shouted.

"Get Lord Arthur out first. The enemies have surrounded him from both sides. He needs to fight his way out." Andrew shouted.

Marco Piper also fell into this pit and was found from underneath. After he was pulled out, he stepped on the horse's neck and shouted: "What are you still doing? Pull out Arthur first, and then a bunch of people will come down." Once the pit is filled, can’t we get out now?”

This suggestion was a bit stupid, and Andrew, who was commanding from above, ignored it.

After a few exchanges with the buried Arthur, several people in the pit found his location, and after a while of effort, they finally pulled him out from the fallen horses and people.

Then several people built a ladder and let Arthur, who was holding the Guandao, climb up.

Although he was a little dizzy after being thrown down, his abnormal physical fitness and recovery ability allowed him to quickly adjust to a normal state.

As soon as Pu came up, Arthur saw a large group of heavy cavalry encircling him from both sides, and a large group of infantry behind him completing the encirclement.

But our own cavalry and infantry were mixed together, pulling people in and standing around randomly.

Patrick asked, "Arthur, how are you?"

"I can still fight!" Raising the iconic golden sword, Arthur shouted:

"Andrew, you are responsible for organizing the team. The rear team becomes the front team and moves to the north. Don't mess up the position."

It is unclear how many traps there are in the south, so the battlefield can only be placed in the north.

"Follow me." Arthur raised his arms and strode towards the enemy.

A large group of riverside soldiers were led by Arthur towards the oncoming soldiers from major families in the Western Region. The two human walls slowly collided and then began to fight.

Although the soldiers of the Western Kingdom families maintained a certain formation, because they came from more than a dozen families, their combat coordination was about the same as that of the Hejian infantry.

On this battlefield, the infantry and cavalry totaled 3,001. The Western Army was only slightly more numerous than the Hejian Army, so the fight was very anxious.

But the flying golden Guandao from time to time can still catch the attention of the nobles of the Western Region.

"The river people dug that Arthur, and the hole was dug too shallow." Adam said with regret in his tone.

Earl Sallot put his hands on his eyes and stared at the battlefield carefully, "He is really brave. He was thrown into a big pit and could fight when he came out."

"We have to move the crossbowmen in front of us, otherwise we won't be able to stop the murderer." Count Roland Krich of the Crake Hall suggested.

Adam agreed.

So the crossbowmen and the sword and axemen who protected the crossbowmen gathered together with the soldiers of this group of nobles from the West.

"Sir Adam, we have to pay attention to another group of river soldiers." Count Leo Redford looked at the hills behind him. "The huddled Bracken soldiers in Stonehedge City also rushed out from the north gate. It looks like they are Receive reinforcements."

Adam was reminded and noticed a large group of soldiers wearing golden shields and red horse robes pouring out of the north gate of Shili City on the hill.

"Just in time, let's have a decisive battle. We just need to ensure that the inside of Shili City is intact."

He also has two thousand Lannister infantry under his command, just to deal with the river soldiers in the castle.

After the messengers galloped around in a circle, the group of lion soldiers also started to move, so all the soldiers outside Shili City were involved in the battle.

After dozens of minutes of fighting, Arthur hacked to death the last enemy in front of him.

He looked around and found that there were only a few hundred soldiers from the West Country family on the north side, and the Lion family cavalry on the east and west sides were also dragged into the quagmire by the Hejian infantry, and they were crowded together to fight.

It seems that there are still a few hundred people left out of the more than 2,700 people brought, and they already have a numerical advantage on this battlefield.

On the hill on the south side, the defenders pouring out of Shili City were having an extremely difficult time fighting.

Their number was only half that of the Lion soldiers, and their equipment was not as good as that of the wealthy Lannister soldiers. They were now unable to hold on.

Arthur noticed that the leader of the Bracken soldiers on the hill was his distant cousin Hendry.

The left support and the right were weak, and the fight was very embarrassing.

The last time Arthur came to Stonehedge City to borrow troops, this man gave him the impression of being effeminate and not generous.

But now he actually came out in person and led troops to meet the reinforcements, which made Arthur's impression of him slightly changed.

On a flat ground on the west side of the hill battlefield, dozens of flags and two or three hundred Westerland soldiers stood.

It seemed that they were the commanders and nobles of this group of Westerland soldiers, as well as their personal soldiers.

To capture people, it is natural to capture the king first.

"Come on, some good hands, let's go capture those Westerland nobles."

Arthur shouted, and then walked quickly to the west.

Raymond and a dozen Darry City infantrymen and dozens of Bracken main family infantrymen responded to Arthur's call and followed him.

In order to bypass the trap area, they turned around from the west.

It happened that Arthur cut another meal of Westerland infantry and cavalry he met on the road.

At least thirty or forty Western soldiers died on Arthur's way to capture and kill the Western nobles, which made the situation here clearer.

The group of Rivermen following Arthur were all veterans. They knew that the Western nobles were surrounded by the earlier group of crossbowmen, so they picked up large shields, one-handed small round shields and other defensive equipment from the road, formed a circle, and formed a shield formation to protect Arthur, Raymond and other high-ranking Rivermen nobles.

"Stop them!" Count Shallot screamed.

The Rivermen's commando team was only a few dozen steps away from them, which made these Western nobles more nervous than ever.

The man who came was the god of war who stopped tens of thousands of troops outside the Golden Tooth City alone. If he was bloodthirsty, he might not even abide by the tradition of not killing the great nobles.

At present, the soldiers of each family were still fighting a decisive battle, and it was not easy for them to abandon their own soldiers and run away.

Commander Adam was very calm and calmly asked the crossbowmen to fire a round of volleys first.

But most of the crossbow arrows were caught by the shields.

The momentum of the River Commandos was not affected.

So the swordsmen and axemen who protected the crossbowmen were sent to intercept, and some of the personal soldiers of the Westerly nobles followed behind.

After close combat, the shield formation was no longer necessary.

The River Commandos and the Westerly soldiers began to fight each other, and Arthur swung his Guandao and started to chop people.

A few minutes later.

Earl Leo Redford asked uncertainly: "Or should we retreat?"

His voice was slightly trembling, and it could be heard that he was a little scared.

Adam himself was also frightened by the invincible Arthur.

At a distance of dozens of steps, the group of Westerly nobles could already see that the blade of Arthur's golden sword had been chopped and curled.

But even so, this man was still able to kill one person with one chop, which shows how strong he was.

The wounds of the Westerly soldiers chopped by his sword were often not as smooth as those chopped by axes and swords, and blood, flesh and bone fragments flew together, and brains and internal organs danced together.

They dared not imagine how painful it would be to die with such a chopping method.

"No hurry, hold on for a while." Adam Marbrand glanced at the battle outside Stonehedge City and felt that his side still had the advantage.

There, only 30% or 40% of the defenders led by Hendry were left, and there were about 1,500 Lannister infantry left.

"I don't believe that Arthur has enough physical strength to kill so many people in a row without getting tired at all." Sir Adam believed in his judgment very much, "Wait until the Lannister infantry outside Stonehedge City is free, and we can consume this man to surrender."

"That's right." Earl Shallott agreed, "But if he surrenders, he will be unhappy with most of us, after all, he has seen so much blood."

The owner of Silver Mountain City was telling the truth. A large number of family soldiers of the Western nobles present were killed by Arthur.

This caused their family strength to drop sharply. At this time when the long summer is about to end and the war has already broken out, this will be a fatal blow.

After all, the full name of the nobles is "armed nobles". Without professional soldiers, the family's strength can easily fall to a level.

But if this person really swears allegiance to their feudal lord, Duke Tywin, they have to accept it with a pinch of their nose.

Twenty minutes later.

There are only a few dozen people left around the nobles in the West, and most of the remaining people died in front of them.

"Run, run, run quickly." Earl Leo Redford urged Adam to give orders repeatedly.

"That's right, my personal soldiers are almost gone. If I don't run now, are we really waiting for him to kill us all?" Earl Shallot also agreed to leave.

"Messenger, let the soldiers retreat to the east." Adam looked at the battle situation on the north side and the River War God in front of him who was still vigorous, and finally decided to retreat.

There were only more than 200 Lion family cavalry on the north side, and about 400 family soldiers from various families in the West.

Outside Stonehedge, another large group of Bracken soldiers rushed out. Although they were obviously new recruits, they still dealt a heavy blow to the morale of the Lion's infantry.

These Westerly nobles and the few remaining personal soldiers were all on horses, so they were very efficient in escaping.

Before Arthur could react, there was no target on horseback in front of him.

There was no lone horse nearby for him to ride to chase the fleeing enemy.

So Arthur rushed towards the Lannister soldiers outside the north gate of Stonehedge who had no time to retreat from the fight.

After another round of fighting, the Westerly soldiers who could escape fled, and those who couldn't escape were either killed or knelt down to surrender.

...

Stonehedge Hall.

"Ouch, I almost got crushed to death when I fell into the pit." Patrick said to Arthur who was observing the big knife while sitting on a chair.

His idol was distressed by the rolled blade.

After four battles in Xizi Beach, Golden Tooth City, Heron Town, and Stone Fence City, the blade of this Guandao made by Tob, a great craftsman from Kohor, has become so blunt that it is difficult to use.

Fortunately, the material structure is good, and the blade can be sharpened for a while.

"You are still lucky. We are all wearing plate armor, which can't press on the ribs. The shield soldiers in the front row are only wearing chain mail. It's fatal to fall down. The cavalry behind fell down and directly crushed a layer of people." Arthur said helplessly.

He didn't expect that the enemy actually dug a trap, and he didn't send some scouts to explore the battlefield.

This bloody lesson must be remembered well.

After the two chatted for a few more words, someone came in.

"The acting city lord is yours." Hendry walked in front, first dropped this sentence, and then began to report the cleaning of the battlefield.

The entire Westerland Army left behind 3,157 corpses and 98 captives.

Of course, the captives here were all slightly injured or intact, and the seriously injured were only stabbed.

The monks and scholars who were accompanying the army to treat illnesses were rare, and it was impossible for them to heal the enemy.

As for the Hejian Army, there were 934 combat-capable people among the people brought by Arthur, and the seriously injured were still being counted.

The defenders of Stonehedge City lost more than 700 veterans and more than 200 new recruits.

In other words, the Hejian Army exchanged the death of more than 2,800 soldiers for the ascension of 3,157 Westerland invaders.

This does not include the reduction in the number of troops caused by the captives to the Westerland Army.

Although Arthur killed hundreds of people, it was also a great victory.

"You should continue to be the acting city lord. I still have to go back to defend Harrenhal." Arthur said.

He had learned from a captive that Duke Tywin led the elite troops of the Lion Family to the home castle of the Hean Family.

Although the enemy had more than 14,000 people, Arthur had to accept the challenge.

Otherwise, the war situation on the entire Hejian East Front would collapse.

It would be another fierce battle at that time.

"Uncle told you that he thought you were more reliable in defending the city, so I had to do it." Hendry was relentless on the issue of acting as the city lord.

He didn't want Arthur to lead his troops to Harrenhal.

In front of Tywin's elite Lion Family, these few people were just going to die.

It would be better to stay and guard Stonehedge City, at least it could really be defended.

"That's fine." Arthur didn't want to get entangled with him, "Since I'm the acting city lord, I order you to take more than 500 new soldiers to guard Stonehedge City, and I'll take the rest of the people away."

Hendry was dumbfounded, and wanted to say something, but was stopped by Arthur's hand.

Adam Marbrand was defeated and will not come to Stonehedge for a short time. This place is safe now.

Tywin led his army into Willowwood Castle in the Lakeside area. It is only five or six days away from Harrenhal. He hurried back as soon as possible.
