The weather is already very cold. After the long summer that has lasted for more than ten years, this short autumn seems to be coming to an end soon.

After Clay started heading north to the Great Wall and eradicated the savage threat outside the Great Wall, the temperature dropped sharply.

The Riverlands, which had not seen snowfall for more than ten years, first ushered in the cold wind from the north.

Moreover, this snowfall was not short-lived. Before Clay arrived at the Twins City, bits and pieces of snow began to fall. When he was about to launch an attack on the military camp under Stone Fence City, the snow still did not stop.

Some of the young men under Clay have almost never seen snow. Even if they saw it a few times when they were children, they have long forgotten it. Now seeing the snow flying in the sky is as fresh as seeing the most bizarre scenery in the world.

As their commander, Clay couldn't give them any extra time to appreciate this late autumn scene, because the soldiers were so fast.

In the previous siege battles, the opponents were not completely annihilated, but a few escaped. After all, human escape ability must be greater than that of the pursuer in some individuals.

Once these guys escape to the Shili City Camp, it only takes one day to convince the Shili City Camp to make adjustments, and this is exactly what Clay doesn't want to see.

Although they lost their horses, the combat effectiveness of these pseudo-infantry with little experience in positional warfare was unbearable, but the sacrifices caused by their own procrastination were unnecessary.

The Cavalry was a treasure to the Valemen, and even more so to him, Clay Manderly.

Now Daenerys does not have the support of the Dothraki, and it is impossible for the Dornish war horses to parachute to the north.

Therefore, in the northern battlefield, Clay could only use four to five thousand cavalry, which was not enough, far from enough.

This is why Clay killed people and grabbed horses. With horses, he had the possibility to form a large-scale cavalry group. If there were no horses, how could he expect his cavalry to fight on donkeys?

Kerrison moved very quickly, because his offensive was so fast that the horses in the center were not frightened at all. Under the leadership of some riverland cavalry who were familiar with horses, a total of more than 4,000 horses were gathered together.

They will be escorted by Crimson's two hundred cavalry, all the way east along the deserted River Road, into the town of Earl Harroway, and then arranged by Ser Marlon Manderly, and finally sent to Twin River City.

Clay left two thousand recruits in the Twins City. They will use these horses for training and build a cavalry team that can be used as soon as possible. Although the individual combat effectiveness is not as good as that of veterans who have fought hundreds of battles, as long as they dare to go into the enemy's formation, Rush, that's enough.

The war horses separated from Clay's group, and then it was time for Clay's performance.

For his part, he also wanted to end the battle against the Valley people as soon as possible. After completely defeating these guys, Clay would depend on the situation. If possible, he would not plan to attack on a large scale.

Because his troops need to change their equipment to cope with the increasingly cold weather.

After a long summer, many soldiers simply did not prepare warm enough clothes. For example, the two thousand riverland cavalry who went on the expedition with Clay each had a thin inner lining that was dry and dry in summer.

Put on a piece of armor and then put on the burqa representing their respective families. This is all they wear.

And in this snowy weather, Clay knew very well how cold it would be to exercise at high speed on a horse.

Not long ago, the first non-combat casualty in the team due to the cold appeared. A young man suffered from a severe cold because he could not adapt to the suddenly cold weather.

With the cavalry in constant motion, there was no way to effectively treat him. Moreover, there was no cure for a severe cold, so he had to rely on his own body to fight it off.

But the gods did not favor this young river boy. One morning after a few days of high fever, the comrades responsible for caring for him dejectedly told Clay the news that he had returned to the embrace of the gods.

It's cruel. He was killed because of a lack of clothes and a cold. He died in a cowardly manner, but this is the reality.

An army not only has to fight its own enemies, but also the entire nature. Those who can survive are the real elites, because those who cannot persist have become bones.

After fighting for so long, the entire Northern Territory and the entire Riverlands need to rest and prepare for the winter. Not only the army's change of uniform, but also the internal hoarding of food and the implementation of a series of policies will all take time.

The war will continue, but after this battle, I'm afraid it's time to enter the intermission.

"Lord Clay, we have found out the situation of the enemy's northern camp. There are not many people there. According to direct visual inspection, there are about two hundred people. It is estimated that there will be at most four hundred people left behind. Moreover, it seems that the news of the defeat has been transmitted, and they seem to be very panicked. .”

The scout brought the news over, and as Clay expected, the news was leaked this time.

There was nothing that could be done about it. The two places were too close. As long as the defeated soldiers were not road crazy, they could crawl to the foot of Shili City. They all had horses. No matter how fast Clay chased him, he would still be one step too late. .

But the problem is not big. Opportunities will always be reserved for those who are good at catching them, and this time is no exception.

The scout then reported:

"While we were observing, the soldiers of the enemy's Beida Camp were trying their best to dig some shallow ravines on the ground on both sides of the northeastern side of Beida Camp. According to my subordinates' guess, they should be tunnels intended to block our cavalry's attack. "

"However, the craftsmanship of these valley people is obviously very rough, and they lack enough tools, so their efficiency is very low. When I observed it, they only dug a trench that was about half an arm deep, and it was only a short section. .”

"With my subordinates' abilities, as long as they observe in advance, whether they control the horses to cross over or take a detour in advance, they can avoid this problem. Therefore, such a trench is completely useless."

"Also, the enemy's western camp seems to have no intention of sending troops to support them. They are also digging trenches. The number of people is obviously larger, but the efficiency is still difficult to be appreciated."

Clay waved his hand, indicating that the scouts could go down.

After fighting with him all the way, these river scouts were trained by him, and what they observed was very critical information.

However, there is still no White Harbor Cavalry to make it easier. After all, it is one of our own, and the feeling is different.

The interesting point is, why didn’t Xi Daying save Bei Daying?

Now that they know their location, they can definitely see clearly that Beidaying must be their first target to attack.

After all, no idiot commander would do such a stupid thing as leaving a retreat to the enemy.

Yon Royce was so confused by this logic that he was tricked into being confused. He still doesn't know where he is.

But Clay really couldn't figure out why some smart guy in the valley was responsible for not saving Beida Camp.

Although the stupider his enemies are, the better, but from a commanding perspective, Clay really can't understand this.

How can I put it... it's outrageous.

What is the situation now?

There are less than two thousand people under Shili City, or even less, and these guys have been confiscated by Clay and can only serve as infantry.

What would happen if Beida Camp was easily captured by me?

Just look at the map.

To the west was Edmure Tully's 20,000-strong army, and to the north was Clay's eyeing cavalry.

Without horses, they couldn't run at all, so...

A thousand men from the West Camp were sent out to follow the example of the Beida Camp, digging on the ground.

Are you digging your own grave?

So, this is what Clay can't understand. You're not outrageous anymore, but it's super doubled, highlighting an urgent desire not to live.

You can't give away someone's head like this. Clay even examined himself for a long time to see if it was a scam.

As a result, the hapless Baron Royce Cowart was finally unable to escape the humiliation of Axis.

But after the silly baron answered the question, Clay fell silent.

Because the Baron didn't lie to him at all!

If it were him, he could only concentrate all the troops in the Beida Camp, and the West Camp would not be needed at all.

Dumplings have been made by others, and now as fresh dumpling fillings, the only way to win is to fight hard and run in both directions with Yon Royce, who is heading south in an aggressive manner, in order to regain his face.

There was no way, there were always a lot of idiots in this world, and Clay didn't know what was so dirty between the two camps.

But now that you have already taken your stance, if Clay doesn't take out his long sword, he will be sorry for your kindness.

Nothing said.

My cavalry, attack!
