Game of Thrones: I loaded the Witcher system
Chapter 121 Conversation under the Torch
"Boy Mandalay, you can't even think of using five thousand men to defeat my ten thousand men. They will make you shed every last drop of your blood!"
Jaime Lannister grasped the thick wooden railing tightly with both hands, ignoring the small bloody holes in his palms caused by the wooden thorns. He felt no pain at all.
The ten thousand people in Riverrun were the last straw in his heart. It was the direct reason why he still considered himself a noble Lannister and refused to bow his head until now.
When he thought about it, even if Clay defeated his two thousand men, it was impossible for them all to stay here. There would always be someone who could escape. As long as one of them could send back the news of his ambush, his vassals There will always be a way to deal with it.
As long as there is no sudden attack, like this time, relying on Lannister's powerful equipment advantage, the three thousand people of Tengshi's Hebei camp, plus the main forces of the two southeast and southwest camps who came to support.
Ten thousand people guarding the camp, just like a hedgehog covered with spikes, must give the direwolf in the north nowhere to bite.
Maybe, when the northern army charges, these 10,000 people can cause them heavy losses and pay back all the blood debt of these 2,000 people!
But now, Clay's words made Jaime Lannister feel like he was falling into an ice cellar.
Again, there was no need for Clay to deceive him into taking a prisoner. Could it be that no one really escaped?
James didn't dare to think about what kind of scene this would be. If he didn't get the news, the three thousand people in Tengshi Hebei Camp would probably be discussing heatedly how many days it would take to remove these annoying rivers. The heads of all the cavalrymen were chopped off.
Little did they know that the direwolf's kiss had already reached their necks, waiting to bite them and send them to the Seven Gods.
"This... you did it on purpose! You chose this place to ambush us just to completely block the news!"
Jaime Lannister finally lost his composure and shook the wooden cage violently, but to no avail.
In response to his question, Clay nodded naturally:
"Yes, otherwise I would have completely defeated your two thousand cavalry on the first night you left Tengshi Hebei Camp. Why would there be any need to go to all the trouble to lure you here?"
He looked at Jaime Lannister, whose face was partly angry, partly disbelieving, and the rest full of fear, and sneered:
"Don't think about it. Tomorrow I will lead people to attack the three major camps of Riverrun that you are unprepared for. Guess which one I will attack first. Oh, by the way, there is no reward for guessing correctly."
This sentence seemed to drain away all the strength of Jaime Lannister. He slumped back into his cage without saying a word, not knowing what he was thinking.
Clay was not in a hurry, he leaned aside and waited. He couldn't sleep, so he just chatted with him a little more.
He didn't care at all whether Jaime Lannister wanted to chat with him. As a prisoner, his feelings were beyond Clay's consideration.
A long time later, Jaime Lannister exhausted all possibilities in his mind, and found that no one of his large camps could withstand the sudden attack of the five thousand northern cavalry without preparation.
As long as a large camp is breached, the siege of Riverrun City will be completely over. Without mobility, two thousand of the ten thousand people can escape back to the West. It is all thanks to the blessing of the Seven Gods.
He sighed resignedly, glanced at Clay with dull eyes, and said softly:
"Are you asking me such a question intentionally to humiliate me?"
He was referring to the question where Clay asked him to guess the direction of his attack. In response to this, Clay just shrugged:
"Don't think too much, Lord Jaime Lannister, I have no intention of humiliating you, because I don't take pleasure in it. On the contrary, I respect your record of defeating the main force of the Riverlands in two battles. As a commander, I want to hear Your opinion, regardless of family, is just as a soldier.”
Clay looked up at the stars in the sky and said in a calm voice:
"Anyway, neither you nor I can sleep this night, right? It's better to have someone to talk to you than to be lonely and bored by yourself."
James didn't know what kind of mentality he was answering this question, but as Clay said, putting aside the family and talking about military affairs alone, both sides have done a good job in the land of the Riverlands. score.
"Well, what an asshole of me to tell you about how you killed my army!"
Clay made a casual gesture and heard James say:
"I believe you have already figured out the layout of my three camps in Riverrun City. To be honest, even if you conduct a surprise attack, I don't think you can defeat these ten thousand people in one go."
He reached out and tapped the armor attached to his body, which was as cold as ice at night.
"Everyone of the Lannister infantry has similar armor. Even if the workmanship is much worse than the one I have, the effect is still about the same. Let me tell you the truth, your equipment in the north... seems to be quite different. "
Clay did not deny it, and denying the key point was meaningless. He nodded:
"Indeed, the forging technology in the Northern Territory needs to be improved. You gave me a reminder. During this war, I have to capture some craftsmen from the Western Territory and send them back to White Harbor."
After tasting the name Pinbai Harbor, Jaime Lannister pursed his lips and said nothing. He continued his opinion:
"Coupled with the two large rivers that prevent us from taking Riverrun City, I think you can defeat at most two camps at the same time, but you will definitely not be able to annihilate us like today."
He raised his right hand, flattened it and drew it in the air:
"You and I both know very well that except for the two rivers near Riverrun, the rest of the area is just like a woman's breasts in the valley. They are flat without even a single undulation."
"I believe in my soldiers. Their ability to fight is first-rate, and their ability to escape death is certainly not bad."
Clay nodded noncommittally at Jaime Lannister's confidence in his own army.
"Jaime Lannister, I can tell you clearly that the Lannister offensive in Riverrun is over. No matter how many of you I kill in the next battle, the Tully family will resume its rule over the Riverlands. You can't even stop it."
Jaime Lannister did not deny this, it was something anyone could understand.
Both of them were silent, not knowing what to say next.
"Now, let's talk about another topic. How important do you think you are to your father?"
Seeing that Jaime Lannister didn't quite understand what he meant, Clay said helplessly:
"Let me put it another way, if you stay here with me, you will have no use except consuming food. Therefore, as long as the price given by your father, Lord Tywin, is right, I don't mind sending you away immediately."
Jaime Lannister understood what Clay meant, but he was very strange. When Clay made these decisions, he didn't consider the Stark family's ideas at all. Isn't the correct process for his father to find the North? Do you want to talk to that wolf cub?
From the beginning, he couldn't understand why Stark would hand over all the cavalry power in the North to this young boy with no reputation in the Seven Kingdoms.
What kind of relationship does he have with the Stark family? What a huge amount of trust this is. Although Eddard Stark’s two daughters escaped from King’s Landing with him and are now missing, there is no news that they are with him. News of someone's engagement.
He is not engaged to Eddard Stark's daughter, and his surname is not a Stark. He is not yet an old noble, but he looks experienced at first glance. This Clay seems to have jumped out of the cracks in the rocks of Dragonstone Island. ·Mandalay actually brought all the cavalry power in the North and completely reversed the situation on the Riverrun battlefield in one battle.
Jaime Lannister realized that something must have happened to Clay Manderly that he didn't know about, otherwise he would never have convinced these proud soldiers of the North.
He also leads troops, and he can tell whether the soldiers truly respect a commander.
"Clay Manderly, my price may not be as high as you think. I am the Kingsguard, and the future Duke of Lannister will be my brother who soaked in the wine vat."
Jaime Lannister tried to sound as relaxed as possible as he said:
"One Kingsguard is not worth a few golden dragons. Maybe you should talk to Joffrey sitting on the throne about my ransom, but don't hold out too much hope. He might not even give out a single golden dragon."
This is obviously nonsense. Your son may not give you a golden dragon, but your good sister will probably let the accountant, Earl Petyr, squeeze out the last golden dragon from the treasury to redeem you.
"Sir Jaime, do you underestimate your own worth? Even if Lord Tywin doesn't give you a golden dragon, won't your good son and good woman give you the money? After all, Queen Cersei is the one with you. They were very affectionate, and even visited Winterfell without forgetting to have some fun. Do you need me to remind you? For example, the ruined tower?"
Clay smiled casually and his tone was gentle, but what he said made Jaime Lannister instantly stunned and felt like he had fallen into an ice cellar.
How did he know? !
Although Joffrey's position was unfair and it was not Robert's heir that had caused the entire Seven Kingdoms to fall apart, this was something that no one could confirm, but today, he actually heard it from the mouth of a noble heir from the north. , easily heard about his affair with Cersei in Winterfell.
The location was very clear, and Clay's relaxed and confident tone made it very clear that this matter was not a guess at all, he had known it for a long time.
But how is this possible?
At that time, he and Cersei chose to meet in the ruined tower because the place was inaccessible and no one came at all. Moreover, before doing anything, they made a special check to see if there was anyone nearby.
He clearly remembered that there was already a thick layer of ash on the floor of the ruined tower. It was obvious that no one had been there for many years.
Clay's words sent chills down his spine. Could it be that when he and Cersei reached the highest peak of each other, there was a pair of eyes paying attention to him with interest?
Was his every move in Winterfell always under the surveillance of others?
House Stark? No, Ed Stark’s justice is known to all the seven kingdoms. If not him, then who would it be?
Looking at Clay Manderly who was smiling at him, Jaime Lannister suddenly realized that the situation he ended up in today was probably an inevitable result.
What are you planning?
Jaime Lannister trembled with fear he had never experienced before.
