Game of Thrones: I loaded the Witcher system

Clay stayed at Riverrun, in an awkward position.

The riverland nobles below are basically willing to give military power to Clay. After all, the Lannister has put his fangs at the door of his house. Shouldn't he smash the lion's fangs first before talking about anything else?

But as the master of Riverrun, Edmure Tully was reluctant. He didn't react at all to the overt and covert hints from the nobles below, and pretended not to know.

Clay understands this. After all, once the army is in hand, this feeling cannot be given up easily.

Power is something that sometimes attracts men more than women.

But understanding is understanding, but Clay will never agree to let this guy command the Riverland army. Even if he can't get the military power himself, he can give it to the big nobles who have fought in the war.

In fact, there is another idea in Clay's mind, that is, it is best for the Tully family to lose their position as guardians of the Riverlands during this war and just become ordinary nobles of the Riverlands.

Because the Mandalay family's base is either in the Riverlands or in the North. When they want to fall out in the future, they will definitely want both sides.

Although his own dragon will scare them away, as long as his mind is clear, he will stand on his side, but there are hidden dangers after all.

Moreover, the Tully family and the Stark family are related by marriage after all, and are die-hard political allies.

If he ascends the throne, if these two stagnant families still maintain control over these two large areas, it will be extremely detrimental to his rule. After all, he has no reason to replace them directly.

Therefore, Clay hopes that Edmure will fight and lose the war. It is best to fight and then send him as a prisoner to others, completely losing the last trace of dignity of the Tully family.

but not now.

He had just received news that the prisoner distribution policy in White Harbor had taken initial effect. The first batch of 6,000 new soldiers had passed through Biting Bay and landed within the Twin River City in the river.

The old man asked himself in the letter, how to deal with these 6,000 people who had not received much training before.

There is no shortage of horses in Twin River City. Although it cannot arm so many people, two thousand people are still enough. Coupled with Clay's original two thousand cavalry, he can control a cavalry legion of four thousand people.

But this does not happen overnight, especially for cavalry. A good cavalry requires a very long period of training, how to control a war horse, and learn to fight on horseback. This is not just about putting on armor and issuing a sword.

When he was staying in Riverrun, he was surrounded by nobles he knew and didn't know, talking about useless things, or trying to send his daughter to his bed, trying to cook the rice.

Edmure Tully has been reluctant to let go, and has even been avoiding Clay recently. He is really afraid that Clay will ask about it.

After a while, Clay became annoyed. This kind of grinding character was a taboo on the battlefield.

In actual battle, the information the commander can obtain is actually very limited.

This is not like playing a game with a full view of the map. You can see every move of the enemy and the formation of troops. In fact, on the real battlefield, you can only see a few people and hear all the news. Someone else told you.

What can you do at this time? As the commander of an army, the lives of thousands or even tens of thousands of people are in your hands. Your orders can allow them to defeat their opponents and return with a great victory.

Of course, it is also possible to exhaust thousands of troops and send them to hell.

How do you choose at this time?

The best answer is, choose a direction, and once you’re sure, go for it!

Because as long as you don't move, it means that you maintain your previous state, and your enemy's deployment must be based on your current situation. If you hesitate, you will play into the opponent's hands.

Therefore, Edmure Tully's timid character, who is forward-thinking and worried about gains and losses, is really not suitable for leading an army.

So, after discussing with the Earl of Crowtree City and other great nobles, Clay came to the cavalry camp outside Riverrun City, leaving behind the 1,500 cavalry rebuilt by the Tully family, and leading two members of the coalition of nobles. Thousands of cavalrymen quickly marched eastwards to conduct reconnaissance towards the three eastern cities.

We are all cavalry. As long as we are careful enough not to be ambushed by the enemy, the people in the valley can do nothing to us. When you come, I will run, and when you leave, I will continue to move forward.

The valley people who had been fighting under the three cities in the east suddenly became energetic after receiving news from the scouts that Riverrun City had sent troops. Two thousand valley cavalrymen from the nearby Stone Fence City and Acorn Hall were separated. People then besieged the city.

The remaining approximately five thousand men mounted their horses and pounced in the direction of Clay's army.

Clay had no home advantage this time, because the cavalry in the Vale had long been wiped out by Riverrun's nearby spies, and Edmure Tully was once again acting as a tortoise in Riverrun.

Therefore, the intelligence system is paralyzed and is not doing anything at all.

After Clay left Riverrun, the latest news he received was that the three eastern cities saw large armies under the city heading towards the west. They immediately realized what they were going to do, so they immediately sent a message to Riverrun, who immediately sent people out of the city to catch up with Clay at full speed. Lei, passed on the news.

In fact, Clay had already guessed that his actions could not be hidden from the eyes of the people in the valley, but it didn't matter, Clay's trip was not to start a head-on war with them.

Doing something knowing that you can't do it will only be the highlight moment in rare cases, and there is also a prerequisite, you must win.

And the vast majority of idiots who did this have already died in their own foolishness, and no one will sing about their achievements among losers and dead people.

Clay is a calm battlefield commander, he would not do such a stupid thing.

Since you, Edmure Tully, are unwilling to hand over power, I can't force you. After all, the Mandalay family is still a northern faction and will be somewhat taboo.

Clay did not object to Edmure Tully's tortoise tactics. As long as 20,000 people were nailed to Riverrun, then Jaime Lannister in the west would have to stay on his own territory.

The Vale Cavalry in the east cannot retreat easily. If they leave, the old lion's tail will be exposed to Clay and Edmure Tully. No matter how strong the Lannister is, it will face a two-front attack, plus the attacks in the city. The remnant army in the north will definitely not be able to withstand it.

As for defending the city, there is no need for cavalry.

As an offensive force, cavalry is not just for walking around in the city.

After Clay discussed with these riverland nobles who could carry them clearly, he made up his mind to take away all the cavalry troops except the Tully family.

There are two thousand people, and there are two thousand Mandalay family cavalry in Twin River City, plus six thousand new soldiers.

After going back and forth, Clay already had a division in his hands, no, an army of 10,000 people.

Although more than half of it is water, the difference between new recruits and veterans is actually a matter of having experienced a battlefield.

He didn't care if Edmure Tully was furious in Riverrun. In fact, when he was semi-forced by his vassals to ask Clay, a foreign aid, to come over and make up his mind, he should have realized that his authority was actually It's in danger.

The three cities in the east were besieged. After the reinforcements he sent were completely wiped out on the enemy's preset battlefield, they huddled in Riverrun City and acted like a tortoise. Any outsider would know that such a boss has gained prestige. Sweep the floor.

After Clay came to Riverrun, he became more certain of this situation by talking to a number of riverland nobles in Riverrun.

So, he thought of this way to escape.

It would be of no use for him to stay at Riverrun. Edmure Tully was too timid to fight, so how could he still go to the battlefield with his head in his hands?

Clay is good at using cavalry, and the three river basins where the Riverlands are located are all plains. In this case, don't blame him for taking away the two thousand cavalry under Edmure Tully's command.

Clay sent out his own scouts, the same old method. After driving out all the eyes, he immediately stopped advancing eastward, and the entire army headed north, toward the Red Fork River.

When the pounce was in vain, the people in the valley realized that they had been fooled, and immediately followed the traces and chased north.

They are all veterans of the battlefield, and the commander of the Valley Cavalry, John Royce, immediately realized what Clay was going to do.

He would never allow a cavalry army to bypass him and appear behind him from the other direction.

You know, if this is really the case, then his army will be sandwiched between the two armies.

The siege of the city destroyed the troops and the generals could not be attacked for a long time, and the retreat was cut off. With the morale of the army in this era, it is hard to say what will happen.

Therefore, the patriarch of the Royce family, with his five thousand men, worked hard to intercept Clay before he reached the Twins.

Little did he know that Clay had also set up a pocket for him in his heart, waiting for him to come.
