Game of Thrones: I loaded the Witcher system

John Royce divided his troops at the Ferry of the Mummers, and two thousand men marched north to pursue Earl Mallister's five hundred troops.

As for himself, he led the remaining 3,000 men in his hands and chased after Clay's 1,500 men.

Soon after, Clay knew that a large army was chasing him, but he was not afraid at all, because the latter's 3,000 men were always on guard for fear of being ambushed, and on his side were the Riverland cavalry who were familiar with the terrain. How could they pursue him? Can you catch up with yourself?

John Royce was right. In fact, the road heading east from Clay is a dead end, because the Blue Fork River to the east and the Red Fork River to the south meet in front, forming a closed protrusion.

The water was gentle, but the river was wide and there was no ferry at all.

Clay knew this from the beginning, so he did not intend to fight here at all. The purpose of luring Yohn Royce to chase him was to let him divide his troops.

Five thousand people is too hard to chew, but less would be easier.

"Let's go east first. Order the whole army to speed up and get rid of the enemy's pursuit as soon as possible!"

The purpose of dividing the troops has been achieved, so now there is no need for Clay to play tricks on the opponent here.

This is a dead land, and the only exit is actually the ferry at Xizitan.

Clay was going to use his speed to forcefully cross the Actor's Beach again.

He didn't know who the commander on the opposite side was, but as long as this guy wasn't stupid, he would definitely spread out to look for him after he found out that he had lost track of him. However, Clay appeared in the dark as soon as he walked past him. The place.

No one would think of searching the places he has already walked, because this would be tantamount to denying himself.

Now that it has entered the late autumn season, the plains of the Riverlands can no longer feel much warmth during the day. Clay and his cavalry stepped on the withered yellow grass blades and marched quickly toward the northeast. .

They did not conceal their whereabouts because they wanted to deliberately let their opponents chase them. If they completely lost track of them, going back directly would not achieve Clay's goal.

There are only ten thousand cavalry in the Vale, although they are the most powerful group of cavalry in Westeros.

But again, there are only ten thousand of them, and this is a very dangerous number.

The nine thousand people from Twin River City have begun to move south, and their goal is the town of Earl Harroway.

Although this place is small, it is a transportation hub. All the way to the east is the Blood Gate, all the way to the south is King's Landing, and to the west is the famous River Avenue, directly connected to the capital of the River Land. Riverrun.

Therefore, the logistics transportation of the Valley Cavalry and Tywin Lannister's army is in this place. As long as this place is occupied, the Valley army will be forced to return for reinforcements.

This is what Clay is trying to do now to lure the valley cavalry to leave the camp and go north.

To everyone, they had no idea there were so many people in the Mandalay family now.

Tywin Lannister defeated Robb's army and thought he had wiped out all the elites of the Mandalay family. However, in the eyes of Littlefinger and Tywin, even if they control the Twins, the Mandalay family's maximum troop dispatch size is Only five thousand people.

Therefore, even if there are still people left in Twin River City, there are only a thousand people at most, and a thousand people are useless in the face of tens of thousands of people being strangled on the river battlefield.

It was a pity for them that Clay Mandler was not in the army at that time, allowing him to escape by chance and retain a general for the North.

As for Robb Stark sending Clay outside the Wall, they vaguely knew about it, but apart from laughing at Robb Stark's stupid order that he did not know whether to live or die, they didn't think much about it.

How could they have imagined that after this battle, under Clay's iron-blooded power, these savage captives would directly or indirectly bring nearly 10,000 troops to Clay and the Mandalay family.

This is far more than a normal earl family should have, and more than they imagined.

Therefore, the nine thousand troops that Clay deployed east of the Green Fork River were actually a surprise force that no one knew about, and the strength of the surprise force lies in this strange word, which caught everyone off guard.

Because most of them are infantry, these nine thousand people do not move very fast, but it does not matter. Clay and Earl Mallister will buy them enough time.

As long as they are in place and successfully capture the key point of Earl Harroway's town, the dead game of the Riverlands battlefield will be played alive.

At that time, the initiative on the battlefield will return to Clay's hands.

But now, Clay's mission is to lead Yohn Royce's troops in circles and make them confused in this area.

On the first night, Clay's troops stopped by the Red Fork River. The soldiers dismounted to fetch water. After releasing enough scouts, they had a good night's rest.

As a pursuer, Yohn Royce stopped about a hundred miles away from Clay's army, set up camp, and also sent out a large number of scouts to guard the surrounding areas.

They used night attacks to defeat Robb Stark's 20,000 troops, so they knew very well how powerful night attacks were.

In this way, the first night passed peacefully.

Early in the morning, Clay's troops, who were well fed and drunk, suddenly turned around and headed north under Clay's order, heading towards the Beauty Market along the Blue Fork River at full speed.

Since they were well rested, the speed of Clay's army was hardly affected, but the Valley army chasing them did not have this treatment.

Because they were not familiar with the terrain, their marching speed was inevitably slowed down. Moreover, the people they were pursuing were tired and exhausted, and their condition declined significantly.

No, in order to maintain the combat effectiveness of the army, Count Yohn Royce could only curse and order the troops to stop and rest to recover their strength. At the same time, he sent scouts to explore in the direction of Clay's headquarters.

The riverland cavalry left behind by Clay accepted the gift very neatly.

They lurked in the woods and launched a sudden attack on the passing scouts. They attacked the larger number and the smaller number. After quickly beheading the people, they dragged the bodies into the woods to hide their traces.

This is Clay's style of leading troops. I can be inferior to you in a head-on conflict. After all, this kind of rich battle with many people is not what the northern border where he is good at.

However, no matter what, I have to promise that I will be better than you in the scout battle.

Among the one hundred cavalry troops Clay brought this time, his five demon hunter guards were also among them. Clay has never made good use of this team. After all, he has not been there for a long time. Westeros.

This time when they went south, Clay took them with him. With their extremely strong individual capabilities, they were most suitable to be the eyes of the army. They also had an advantage in small-scale scout battles.

They work in groups of five and act alone, specifically responsible for hunting down enemy scouts.

As soon as they discovered it, the five of them put on Kunen shields for themselves, and then rushed towards the enemy's scouts on horseback.

As a scout, there were many guys with outstanding archery skills on the opposite side. He took off the long bow on his back, took out the arrow from the quiver with one hand, aimed at a person and shot it.

However, the invincible bow and arrow failed, leaving only a flash of yellow light, and the attacked person was safe and sound.

While these people were stunned, the team had already rushed forward. Without giving them a chance to draw their swords, they knocked over the Alder Seal directly. Then, if they needed to ask for information, the Yaksi Seal was smeared on their faces.

If there is no need, just swing the sword and kill the person.

After chasing for these few days, the number of scouts lost in Yohn Royce's army reached a number that made him surprised.

When encountering ordinary river scouts, even if they are outnumbered and outnumbered, one or two can always escape if they are calculated mentally or not.

Facing those five guys, anyone seen by them will definitely die.

Therefore, in John Royce's case, it became the disappearance of the scout team as an organization.

Slowly, Yohn Royce became afraid, and he began to wonder how many people Clay Manderly had brought out from Riverrun.

The scouts below were no longer willing. No one was stupid, and the nobles could not let them die in vain.

They are soldiers and can withstand certain casualties.

But this strange mortality rate that never comes back still scares them away, no matter how furious Yohn Royce is.

So, under Clay's unintentional arrangement, and through the hard work of his team of witchers, Yohn Royce became a half-blind man on the battlefield.

At this juncture, retreat is impossible.

As soon as he left, the pursuit north was immediately in danger of capsizing.

So, he could only bite the bullet and continue to move forward along the traces of Clay's army.
