Game of Thrones: I loaded the Witcher system

Clay in the north didn't know anything about what happened in King's Landing and Dragonstone, and even if he knew, he wouldn't care much.

Autumn is leaving little by little, the temperature is getting colder and colder, and there is not much time left for the whole of Westeros.

He started from the west gate of Twin River City and headed south along the Green Fork River.

Although the Riverlands is in the land of the Four War, no one dares to attack the civilians here due to the victory in the previous war.

But this time the defeat was originally in the east, which was equivalent to the annihilation of Robb Stark's army who guarded the eastern lands of the Riverlands. This resulted in the area east of Riverrun being under the enemy's front.

Clay had no intention of trying to conduct reconnaissance alone. He had to get to Riverrun as soon as possible.

Riverrun received news in advance that Clay was coming, so they sent people across the Red Fork River to take Clay to Riverrun in advance.

From the perspective of Riverrun, if Clay Manderly, the last hope of the North, had an accident on the way, then the Riverlands, as a die-hard ally of the North, would be in serious trouble.

In fact, this is completely unnecessary, because Clay has brought a hundred elite cavalry, which cannot be used to directly attack the valley people, but self-protection should be no problem.

The group of people worked hard and arrived at Riverrun City as soon as possible.

When he arrived outside the city, Clay saw a series of military tents. One Riverrun city could not hold 20,000 people, so they had to be placed outside the city.

The flags of various families were flying, and the flags of Crowtree City, Riverrun City, Seaside City, etc. were filled with every tent in the military camp.

It looks quite impressive, and it looks like a large army, but how effective it is can only be known when they are on the battlefield.

All the way into Riverrun City, many people stopped subconsciously when they saw the flag of the Mandalay family. Of course they recognized this flag. Not long ago, the owner of this flag defeated their enemies at the foot of Riverrun City. , rescued them.

Arriving at the main castle of the Tully family in Riverrun, Clay was led into the hall by the guards of the Tully family.

Not long ago, after Hoster Tully was on the sickbed for a long time, he finally could not resist the erosion of time and went to see the Seven Gods he believed in. From this, Edmure Tully officially became the Hejian The owner of the land.

But just after he officially took over power, he suddenly faced the collapse of his ally and king's army, and was surrounded by his opponents in a castle that could fall at any time.

This situation completely paralyzed Edmure Tully. With little battlefield experience, he suddenly came up with an idea, which made the other nobles gathered in Riverrun frown.

They watched for a long time, and after confirming that their troops would be led into the ditch by this man, they took decisive action.

These old nobles with great prestige up and down the river began to lobby Edmure Tully constantly, asking him not to easily mobilize troops, and at the same time putting pressure on him to give Clay Man in the Twins City Dele wrote.

After Arryn Vale's cavalry began to attack the three eastern cities of Riverrun, the reinforcements sent by Edmure were easily copied by the Valemen's cavalry, and then were divided and surrounded without any waves.

From then on, Edmure Tully never sent reinforcements to the three besieged eastern cities. The lords of those three cities in Riverrun were anxious every day, but there was nothing they could do.

Because this is a state of war, of course they can just leave, but this means that they will be excluded from any subsequent actions in Riverrun, which is not worth the gain.

Clay entered the hall and immediately saw the bearded Edmure Tully, wearing a heavy cloak and standing in front of a huge sand table with a frowning expression.

"Ha, Clay Mandler, you're here, why did you end up like this? It's very difficult to deal with now."

When they met, Edmure Tully said this to Clay, which made Clay frown slightly.

"Duke Edmure, let's not talk about this for now. I don't know the situation on the battlefield. When I arrived at Twins City, something had happened to His Majesty's army, so I don't know more than you do."

Clay said lightly, took off his heavy cloak, and walked neatly to the sand table.

Edmure Tully smiled. He couldn't stand up in front of Clay Manderly. He had been a prisoner and it was he who rescued him.

In the following battle to relieve the siege of Riverrun and the encirclement and suppression of the defeated Lannister army, without the command of Clay Manderly, I still don't know where I am.

"Lord Clay, the current situation is like this. Our army is currently shrinking along the Riverrun City, and the Lannister in the west is also locked in the Golden Teeth City without any movement."

Clay nodded. Jaime Lannister has been very honest since he was sent back to the West by his father, Lord Tywin. Apart from leading a group of new soldiers to beat up the Ironborn who came ashore, he has done nothing but did not do.

Seeing that Clay didn't speak, the Earl of Crowtree City who had just introduced Clay continued:

"Before you came, Lord Edmure sent an army of two thousand men to rescue Stonehedge City, Acorn Hall and Stone Hall Town that were under attack, but it is obvious that the Valemen are waiting for us nearby."

"How many people are there in the valley? Do you know this? I don't want to listen to what the soldiers tell you. It will affect everyone's judgment."

Clay interjected. What he wanted to find out was whether there were ten thousand cavalry here in the valley, or whether there were still reserves.

If 10,000 people are here, it will be a clear sign, and then this battle will be relatively easy to fight.

"Well... it should be so. The soldiers who escaped and the ravens sent to us by the three cities all said that they encountered many enemies. If the entire army in the valley were not here, they would not be able to surround so many places."

As the actual commander of the battlefield, the Earl of Crowtree City touched his chin and gave his own judgment.

Clay nodded and said calmly:

"Ten thousand people are here, but they don't attack Riverrun and use the cavalry as infantry. This is forcing us to go out of the city to fight them."

Clay pointed at the locations of the three cities, pointed at Riverrun where he was, circled a small space in the middle with his fingers, and whispered:

"If I remember correctly, this should be a continuous plain without any mountains, right?"

"That's right, there is fertile land for my Tully family, and the population is relatively dense."

Edmure Tully felt a little unhappy that he had been marginalized once again, so he took the opportunity to interject.

Clay didn't have time to understand his thoughts, so he patted the area and sneered:

"That's it. You see, they are all cavalry. Although they have dismounted and become infantry, the horses must be nearby. Once we attack rashly, they can mount their horses as quickly as possible."

Clay's index finger knuckle struck the plain twice:

"What a wonderful battlefield. There aren't even any woods or mountains. If 20,000 people go out from Riverrun, all they have to do is replicate the tactics they used against King Robert and charge at night. Even if those 20,000 people can stand still, they will suffer heavy losses. .”

Seeing the worsening expressions of the Riverland nobles in the hall, Clay gave his final conclusion:

"The people of the valley don't even need to completely annihilate you. It's enough to cripple you, beat you to pain, and completely stop the idea of ​​going east for rescue."

"It makes no sense for them to defeat you. Since they have chosen to cooperate with Tywin Lannister, their first goal is to go south. After the two stags fight, they will eat the winner directly and restore their throne in King's Landing. .”

Clay immediately pointed out the logic behind the strange strategy of the Valley Cavalry, because if the idea of ​​destroying the country was behind the guidance, then the Valley Cavalry should come directly from the military camp under River Run City.

"So, what we have to do now is to never send out troops easily. While we are here, the Vale Cavalry will not dare to withdraw. Tywin Lannister must also stay under Harrenhal and watch His Majesty Robert."

"There is food in Harrenhal. I'll spend it with Tywin Lannister. But if there is a battle in King's Landing, I wonder what he will do then."
