Game of Thrones: I loaded the Witcher system

Pulling is an art, and the fishing guy likes it here.

Clay never thought about a head-on collision with the thousands of valley cavalry chasing him, but that didn't mean that he didn't have the intention of killing them.

However, he is not a god. On the battlefield of a large army, personal bravery can have very limited effects.

One person and one sword are useless no matter how efficient the killing is.

"Master Clay, we have crossed the Red Fork River and left a trail for those fools who are only interested in sheep to chase us."

The speaker was Earl Jason Mallister, who came with Clay and is now the owner of Seaside City.

The so-called interest in sheep must be blamed on Prince Daemon Targaryen in the Dance of Dragons War.

After the Mandalay family took control of Twin River City, with their huge size advantage, their power has radiated to Seaside City.

At this juncture, the Mallister family of Haijiang City is advancing and retreating together with the powerful Mandalay family.

The Earl of Seaside City tightened his cloak tightly, glanced at Clay Mandler, who was stationed on the banks of the gurgling Red Fork River, and carefully considered his next move.

The location they were currently in was called Actor's Beach, which was a ferry on the Red Fork River. The water flow in the entire Red Fork River was slow and fast, so it was not easy to find a good ferry.

That's what Clay wanted.

His overall military strength is at a disadvantage. If he wants to defeat a powerful opponent, he can only concentrate his superior forces locally and cut off one of his fingers.

The prerequisite for this situation is to find a way to divide the five thousand valley cavalry. As long as the five thousand people can be divided into three groups, Clay will be able to eat them.

It just so happened that the three major rivers in the Three Rivers Basin, the Green Fork, the Blue Fork, and the Red Fork, could help Clay solve this problem, because there were only a few ferry crossings, and the rivers in other places were so fast that it was impossible to pass at will.

Hearing Count Mallister's voice, Clay came back to his senses, nodded to him, and said:

"Your Majesty, Lord Hard-working, has led his troops to continue heading north to serve as bait. Remember, you must hang them as far away as possible and keep them as far away from the battlefield as possible to buy me enough time."

Earl Mallister nodded sternly. After hearing Clay's idea, he had no other expression other than surprise.

Lord Clay's appetite is still as big as ever. When I first met him, he dared to boast that he could eat an army of more than 10,000 people led by Jaime Lannister in Haikou with only 5,000 men.

Now, he only has two thousand riverland cavalry in his hands who are worse equipped and trained than his opponents from the valley, but he has already made a perfect plan to eat the valley people who are chasing him.

Clay deliberately stopped here to wait for the Valley people behind him. They were always afraid of being ambushed by him, so the pursuit speed was always slow. As soon as Clay accelerated, he would throw them away for a distance.

After all, it is no longer a secret how Clay Mandler captured Jaime Lannister alive and how the Battle of Virgin Valley was fought. All the lords have labeled Clay Mandler as a man who is good at ambush. Label.

Therefore, still on the plains of the Riverlands, after the Valley Cavalry found out through the informants in Riverrun that the commander leading the troops out of the city was Clay, they lost their previous arrogance and began to be cautious.

But they had to continue chasing, because no one could bear the responsibility of letting Clay's thousands of cavalry insert themselves into their rear.

The only thing Edmure Tully did right was to order the implementation of a clearing policy in the eastern riverlands and confiscate as much food as possible from the farmers.

The cavalry at the bottom of the valley are also human beings. They cannot plunder the occupied areas, so they can only rely on the rear to feed them to the front line one by one. Otherwise, the morale of the army has long since dispersed. Who would fight on an empty stomach?

If Clay's two thousand men crossed the cavalry blockade at the bottom of the valley and reached their rear, they would break into pieces and start destroying the transportation lines. The battle would be unwinnable because the troops on the front line could not move.

The people of the Vale chose to follow Tywin Lannister under Littlefinger's instigation. In the current situation, Tywin Lannister couldn't take down Harrenhal in one day, and they had to pin down the three eastern cities to prevent Edmure. ·Tully’s army comes to bite Tywin in the ass.

"Let's go, it's almost time for the Valley people to catch up. Let's see what they choose. Guess what's more important, you or me?"

Clay smiled easily and got on the horse.

He will march towards the east with 1,500 men, while Earl Mallister will lead 500 men, making a cavalry movement of a thousand men, heading north towards the Twins.

The purpose of their doing this was to force the valley cavalry to divide their troops. Five thousand people were a hard fist, and Clay could only avoid its sharp edge. But once the fist spread out and turned into a palm, Clay could calmly attack it. Each finger was smashed separately.

The war horse galloped, and before Clay left Riverrun, a letter flying to the Twins also reached its destination.

Clay ordered the two thousand elite Mandalay family cavalry in the city to immediately go south along the King's Road.

About 3,000 male wildling prisoners were sent and mixed with 4,000 of the 6,000 people recruited by White Harbor. The latter were issued long weapons to deal with cavalry. After completing the mixing, they marched south in a big way.

Suddenly, the clouds of war enveloped the entire Trident River Basin.

But the people of the Valley, who were the protagonists on one side, had no idea. After all, they didn't know what Clay Mandler was thinking, and they didn't know that the heir to the Mandalay family had already put them on the table.

…

"Damn it, by the gods, these riverland cavalry have no backbone at all. What else can they do except run away?"

Slapping his helmet on the ground, Yohn Royce, who had just crossed the Red Fork River, cursed and looked at the two cavalry traces in different directions on the ground, frowning fiercely.

That guy Petyr called him over specifically and repeatedly emphasized that no cavalry could be allowed to cross his blockade. Yohn Royce was so annoyed that he slammed the door and left.

As a great noble who leads troops to fight, he certainly knows the current situation. The logistics line they come out of the Blood Gate to supply Tywin and the Valley army is the lifeblood of the entire army and cannot be touched at all.

"Sir, after checking, there are traces of cavalry with more than a thousand people. It seems that these people from the river who are afraid of death knew that we were chasing them and ran away separately."

"Escape? Which directions did they go to?"

"Go all the way north. To the north, it's either Haijiang City or Twin River City. I think they should be going to Twin River City."

"What about the other way?"

"The other way is to the east. We don't know the destination of this way. Maybe you want to find a ferry on the Blue Fork River to cross the river?"

John Royce instinctively felt something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

Everything at the scene told him that the enemy was already panicking under his pursuit. If the cavalry heading east could not find the ferry, they would be surrounded by him on the banks of the two rivers.

But another voice asked him in his heart, why?

There is no need for these cavalry to do this. John Royce knows what his pursuit speed will be like, and it is not likely to force these cavalry into a desperate situation.

However, the thought that once the cavalry heading east found a ferry and crossed the river, as long as they found a way to cross the Green Fork River, they would reach their defenseless rear. This was something that John Royce could never accept.

Although past experience told him that the Blue Fork River and Green Fork River near here are both places with fast currents and no ferry at all.

However, be cautious in everything, after all, it is Clay Mandler who leads the troops.

Yohn Royce didn't quite believe that such a commander would issue such a seemingly suicidal order. There must be his reasons.

After thinking about it, Yohn Royce gave an order to his lieutenant, Count Leonor Corbray of Anshu City:

"Lord Leonor, take two thousand people and chase them north. Remember, you must be careful. I would rather they be driven back to Seaside City or Twin River City, and nothing will happen to you."

The Earl of Hearts City nodded, he understood what Yohn Royce meant.

"Sir, what about you? Do you want to deal with the people from the river to the east?"

"Yes! I want to see what tricks they can play with me!"

Yohn Royce pulled the reins of his horse and whispered:

"I have a hunch that Clay Mandler may be here on the east side. He is not a guy who gives up easily."

The Red Fork River still flows, its icy cold water carrying all the filth to the straits.

"Let's go!"

With a low shout, the two generals left on the wrong horse. Their opponents separated. As pursuers, they had to do the same thing.
