Game of Thrones: I loaded the Witcher system
Chapter 225 Sir, I will take you to make a fortune
In fact, when Clay faked a shot and deceived Yohn Royce to go far away, the entire army of the three river cities was already dead in his eyes.
They were not very good at being infantry in the first place, and now they were still in the dark. They didn't know that the wolf's kiss from the north had been handed to their throats. Such an army would be sorry for their performance if they didn't kill them ruthlessly.
Therefore, when Clay crossed the Red Fork River for the second time, his war target had changed from the thousands of dismounted valley men to the valley war horses that he cherished.
War horses are different from ordinary horses. They are well-trained. On the battlefield, they will not throw their owners to the ground just because an arrow is shot at them.
Moreover, their endurance, sprinting speed, including their own physique, etc. are much stronger than ordinary horses.
It can be said that a good war horse is worth as much as three or four ordinary horses, and its annual expenses are very large. If there are not enough funds, this horse alone can make people poor.
This thing is basically monopolized by the nobles, and the common people cannot afford it at all. Therefore, in addition to focusing all their specialization on cavalry, several major guardian dukes rely on trade methods to obtain wealth, and invest a large part of them in the construction of cavalry. Of the valley people, none of the others could form a group of tens of thousands of cavalry.
There is no other reason than that it is too expensive. According to the war method of recruiting nobles, these horses are usually raised by the people below. This is a huge financial pressure for these horse breeders. Without support, they cannot have fun at all.
After waiting for a long time, Clay waited on the shore of Actor's Beach and waited for the Mercedes-Benz troops to arrive. The boys were all full of energy, and some were even smiling. After doing bad things, they still behaved like this. Not bad!
Kerrison came to hand over orders to Clay. This was the first time he had led an army alone. It was completely different from the previous experience of following Master Clay in the north and south. How can I put it, this feeling was more exciting.
"Lord Clay, according to your instructions, I have done everything I can to show that we have crossed the river and headed north. Also, my subordinates are free to make their own decisions. After crossing, I gave the people in the valley two directions and made traces for them to see. .”
The corner of Clay's mouth twitched slightly, you boy, you still think that the old guy Yon Royce is not dizzy enough, and you insist on making it difficult for the old man, tsk, who taught you this kind of subjective initiative?
It’s not me anyway! Yes, it must not be me!
After patting Kerrison's shoulder hard, Clay's face that had been sullen for a while finally showed a rare smile. There was no one under his command. This was the most intuitive feeling for him in this war.
It's not that he really has no one to use. In the last war, among the northern nobles who fought with him, some of them were his right-hand men and they were quite capable of fighting.
But the problem is that most of this group of people were tricked to death north of Harrenhal by Robb Stark's stupidity. Clay led the war against the valley alone this time, and found that there were not many under his command. The one who knows the soldiers.
None of them were members of his own family. Sir Malone's beard was completely white, and he had to be hired as a coolie. It was really difficult for him to lead the 9,000-strong army going south.
As a last resort, he could only let Krissen, a special forces unit like him, rush to the top and force himself into the position of commander. There was no other way. He was alone and had no skills at all.
"Okay, let's take a rest. I'll give you two hours to drink water. Food is prepared for you. After you've eaten and drank enough, tell your brothers that Master Clay Manderly will take them to make a fortune."
"Get rich? What do you mean, sir?"
"Get out of here, you'll know when you get there. Hurry up and convey the order to me!"
…
On the other side, in Earl Harroway's town where the smoke and dust had just subsided, Sir Marlon Manderly set up a Chinese military tent north of the town.
The reason why he set up his headquarters here is because it is close to the King's Road in the north. Even if it is really impossible to defeat, this place is the best place to escape.
He was thinking about Clay, but he didn't expect that Clay had no intention of taking over the army himself.
"Sir, all the remnants of the valley army in the city have been eliminated. According to your instructions, no one will be left behind."
A knight from the Mandalay family came to the headquarters and reported the news to Sir Malone.
Among the nine thousand people, two thousand elite cavalry are actually the foundation for maintaining this army. If they were not there, the savage army would have other ideas and the four thousand new recruits would be in panic.
Sir Malone knew this very well, so the army moved not far to the north of Earl Harroway's town, and he directly ordered the Mandalay family cavalry to launch a fierce attack.
The Valley people stationed here were completely unprepared. They only lasted for less than an hour in the dark and the fire before retreating. Then, waving their blood-stained swords, the Mandalay family's cavalry rushed into the logistics center of this army. .
At dawn, Sir Malone ordered four thousand new soldiers to enter the battlefield. As a logistics distribution center for the army, there were many people in the valley here, and two thousand long swords could not kill them all in a while.
Therefore, these four thousand recruits who had never been on the battlefield just went in to clean up the battlefield and make up for the fish that had slipped through the net. They had seen the blood and actually went to the battlefield, so they were not so afraid.
The victorious Mandalay family cavalry only paid the price of less than a hundred men, so they still had enough energy to continue the pursuit.
The people of the valley mainly ran in two directions: east and west. To the west was to find the garrison of the army headed by Yohn Royce. To the east was to return to the hometown of the people of the valley, because the Blood Gate was in that direction.
Regarding this situation, Sir Malone did not hesitate at all and directly ordered:
"Let go of all the enemy troops that fled east, and use all your strength to strangle the enemy troops that retreated to the west. Kill them one by one if you can. If you see the enemy army coming to rescue you, don't be reluctant to fight, and return here immediately."
Sir Malone knew very well that there was no way for him to pursue him after escaping into the valley. Secondly, he also hoped that these guys could send the news of their defeat back to the valley. The order given to him by Master Clay before was to attract as many people as possible. The other person's attention comes here.
He faithfully implemented Clay's will and pursued things eastward and westward, which is the product of this logic.
The new recruits began to enter the battlefield, and soon some of them were vomiting from the bloody corpses. Some of those who had seen the dead also turned pale and their throats continued to shrink.
Before the attack, Sir Malone repeatedly emphasized to his cavalry that they should not hold back in this attack, but that the blood of the people of the valley should be used to commemorate the remnant souls of the dead soldiers of the northern army north of Harrenhal.
As a result, the two thousand cavalry who completely let themselves go turned Earl Harroway's town into a complete Shura field, and every sword would raise bright red blood.
Some remnants of the valley soldiers who had escaped hiding in corners were found by the new recruits who entered the city. As a result, fierce hand-to-hand combat broke out again. The new recruits were inexperienced on the battlefield. Even if there were many people, in the initial panic There will also be some casualties.
But later on, when they overcame their fear and chased after the remnants of the valley who were frightened and fought with trapped beasts, their mentality soon stabilized and they began to form groups spontaneously. The entire town was strangled.
For the army of more than 3,000 savage captives, Sir Malone directly ordered them to start digging trenches outside the town.
What are you digging a trench for?
Of course, the soil was dug out and piled into walls next to it.
There are two walls next to a trench, which circulate in sequence.
There is no way. Earl Harroway's town itself has no city walls, which is not conducive to defense at all. Although Earl Wyman came out of the Twins City and gave the army enough equipment, if it cannot withstand the first wave of attacks, no matter how many more The equipment can only be cheaper than others.
In this way, it took four thousand new recruits Danzi a day to completely clear out the entire town and seize a considerable amount of food and equipment after suffering more than 300 casualties, most of which were injuries.
Then, Sir Malone sent the remaining three thousand people out to dig the soil.
Clay had discussed the entire battlefield situation in Riverrun before he left, and he knew very well who his enemies were.
Therefore, he has very strict requirements for the project.
So, without anyone noticing, a strange earth city rose from the ground little by little.
And when its enemies really saw the whole picture of this earth city, it was too late to regret it.
After all, there is no place in this world to buy regret medicine.
