Eagle of the Valley of Ice and Fire
Chapter 90 Blackfish's Strategy
Jaime Lannister stabbed the riverland soldier in the throat with his long sword. Blood spattered and blood bubbles kept bubbling out of the soldier's mouth.
"For Casterly Rock!"
The Western Cavalry behind them shouted and charged towards the Riverland army formation in front.
"Stabilize the formation!" Karel Vance roared, and the spearman in the Riverlands in front of him looked nervously at the Western Cavalry charging ahead.
"Slow down!" James held a spear and shouted loudly as he approached the conflict formation of the River Land. The Western Cavalry suddenly slowed down. After passing the spear to the River Land soldiers, he quickly retracted it and turned the horse's head.
"Second echelon, charge into the formation!" The commander of the second echelon of Western Cavalry swung his sword forward and ordered loudly.
The Western Cavalry charged quickly, pointing their spears directly at the Riverland army formation.
"Hold on!" Karel Vance roared again. The shield soldiers in front fell to pieces during the first charge of the Western Cavalry. The waves of cavalry attacks continued to harvest the infantry formations in the front row. .
"The archers are in position!" Karel Vance focused his attention on the back. He turned to look at the archer formation behind him.
The harassing Western Horse Archers came flying from both wings. The dense arrows even blocked the sunlight and were projected towards the phalanx of Riverland soldiers.
"ah!"
There were constant screams, and Karel Vance shouted: "Pull the strings full!"
The long bow was fully drawn and pointed at the attacking cavalry.
"put!"
Arrows spread from the river formation to all directions, and the unsuspecting Western Cavalry was instantly entangled in the arrows and fell off the saddle.
With bows and arrows shooting at each other, the spear formations of the Riverlands soldiers gradually became looser. The wave-like endless attacks of the Western Cavalry made the originally tight spear formations like iron barrels become soft and easy to bully.
James squinted his eyes and waved his sword, "The light cavalry dispersed! The central cavalry, charge in formation!" He turned his horse's head and returned to the central cavalry, and shouted an order.
"For Casterly Rock!"
The Western Cavalry angrily trampled on the soft soil of the Riverlands, splashing water stains caused by the continuous rain the day before, and rushed towards the formation of the Riverlands, which was as soft as spring mud.
Kalel Vance roared: "Put up your shield and hold on!"
The soldiers from the River Land suddenly rolled into the air, their flesh and blood flying, and the deflated armor was worn on the bodies of the dead soldiers, and they fell to the ground unconscious.
Kalel Vance raised his shield in front of him, and the horse's hooves stepped on the shield mountain like a huge boulder falling. He felt that his arms suddenly lost consciousness. Before the sound of the shield breaking could reach his ears, Kalel's eyes flashed. It was dark and plunged into the soft soil.
Jaime Lannister watched the soldiers clear the battlefield. The uniforms and armor of the Riverlands soldiers were taken off one by one, and the body of Kalel Vance lay in front of him.
The soldiers from the West turned over the body of Kalel Vance, and the burgundy birthmark was unusually obvious.
James smiled contemptuously, "I'm dead, my son will follow. I hope you meet in the seven hells." He jumped over Kalel's body and headed into the distance.
"The Pink City was attacked by Tywin Lannister's army in conjunction with the Kingslayer. This army marched northeast and pressed against Stonehedge." Edmure pointed at the map and said to Brynden Tully.
Blackfish was not worried. He lay back on the bench, looked at the map in front of him, and said to Edmure: "Jaime Lannister's cavalry is harvesting the vassal castle west of Riverrun, seducing many powerful people. The old knights, even Karel Vance, ignored my command and crossed the river to the west without permission. They wanted to save their castle. If they don't listen to Riverrun's command, they will be in danger. "
"They were protecting their own people, so they deserved their death," Edmure said.
Brynden Tully cursed, stood up, and looked at Edmure angrily, "When will you grow up?"
Edmure lowered his head, biting his lower lip, not daring to say anything in front of his uncle.
"The only guaranteed result for the Kingslayer is to capture the part of the territory close to the West that is insignificant to the battlefield in the Riverlands. In addition, he wants to expand the results and advance towards Riverrun and even the entire Riverlands. He must take actions to cross the river, but Riverrun City is located at the center of the two rivers. Whether the regicide divides his troops to cross the river in two ways, or crosses the river with the main force all the way, they are within the attack range of Riverrun City. We are not just a pitiful two hundred defenders. "We have twenty thousand!" Blackfish pointed at the map and analyzed the enemy's situation to Edmure.
"Tywin Lannister knew this, so he hurriedly detached an army to march along the river to Stonehedge City, wanting to share the pressure of the Kingslayer's march. The old lion was afraid of losing his son, and the Kingslayer cowered. We don't dare to further develop the situation, we have the upper hand," Blackfish said.
"The Kingslayer is blocked between the Red Fork River and the Tumbling Stone River. So Tywin's army will be allowed to harass the territory on the east bank of the Red Fork River?" Edmure frowned and said to Brynden.
"This army is too far away from Tywin's army. The main force of the old lion left the cave city and rushed towards King's Landing on the golden road. Some of the army crossed the upper reaches of the Red Fork River, and some along the Red Fork River to support the regicide. Part of the pressure on Harrenhal is equivalent to putting pressure on the valley and at the same time protecting the army that is supporting the Kingslayer." Blackfish put his hands on the long table and said to Edmure.
"The east bank of the Red Fork River is guarded by the Brackens, the Tumstone River is guarded by the Blackwoods, and we Tully will guard Riverrun. Abandoning the territory between the two rivers is only a temporary abandonment. As long as it is defended properly, the Kingslayer's The army will be trapped here," Heiyu said.
"People from the Vale." Edmure felt a little ashamed when his uncle mentioned the Vale. He thought of all the ridiculous things he had done after listening to his sister Catelyn's accusations, and he wished he could lower his head forever and never see anyone's face again. .
"If we only defend but not attack, the Western Army will not be able to do much good. If we are ambitious and want to eat some of the Western Army," Heiyu pondered.
"Uncle!" Edmure was slightly excited, and he said to Brynden Tully, "How should we win?"
"We, the Tully family," Brynden looked at Edmure's innocent eyes, "we couldn't decide whether we could win the war from the beginning. We could only think of ways to cause the old lion a little trouble."
He pointed at Harrenhal, "You and Caitlin go to Harrenhal, apologize to Anda Royce, and ask the Vale Cavalry to work with the Riverland soldiers to first destroy this army that is cooperating with the Kingslayer and advancing on Harrenhal. The Western Border Army.”
"Me?" Edmure swallowed, "If I fall into the hands of the Valemen, I'm afraid I'll be a hostage."
His uncle's words shocked him, "If he becomes a hostage, it means that the valley agrees to provide conditional assistance. This is better. Besides, a rational person will not take Duchess Ed's brother as a hostage." Heiyu frowned, "Not now. As a middleman, it is not easy for the Stark family to get assistance from the valley with certain conditions. Edmure, you can set an example."
"I" Edmure took a deep breath. He knew that as the heir of the Riverlands, he should make up for the mistakes he had made. "What about Catelyn, my sister. Since she heard the truth you said, , staying in the room without thinking about food and tea, she can be with me."
"Everything started with her, and it should end with her. Edmure, put away your nonsense and think like a duke!" Blackfish looked at Edmure seriously and said in a deep voice.
