Game of Thrones: I loaded the Witcher system
Chapter 231 A dead Taoist friend is not dead but a poor Taoist
People must have a purpose in doing things. Valley's participation in the war this time was actually based on the principle of getting a vote in the war. Coupled with Littlefinger's taking advantage of the situation, the attack plan was completely formed.
But the problem is that not all families in the valley want to go to war. In fact, their internal differences are quite serious.
War is a continuation of politics, and politics is about exploiting one group of people to satisfy another group of people.
They all make money, but everyone chooses different methods.
In the eastern part of the valley, headed by the Grafson family of Seagull Town, their attitude has always been that they can attack the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms outside as they please. We valley people can only do business and make money. It is not good to attack and kill them.
The reason why Grafson dares to do this is because they are backed by one of the largest ports in the Seven Kingdoms, and the Seagull Town under their control is also considered to be the most populous place in the Seven Kingdoms.
Just by collecting commercial taxes on ships coming and going from the port, the Grafson family can make money. Under this premise, how can they have the motivation to lead their own troops and fight for their lives?
Picture what?
Although there are many families on the Five Fingers Peninsula, almost only the Grafson family can really reap the dividends from trade. Even the Royce family in Runestone City, which is very close, can't get anything.
Therefore, under this general premise, this group of nobles in the valley, who are politically giants and economically dwarfs, are trying their best to push the valley to participate in the war, because only by participating in the war can they obtain more benefits.
What you steal is faster than what you make. Everyone knows this truth.
But before, Lysa Tully had always been a staunch peace advocate, or... an ostrich faction. She was indifferent to things outside the Blood Sect, and didn't care about this or that.
Yohn Royce and other nobles tried their best to advocate war, but they could not get past Lysa Tully.
After Lysa Tully died in the Eyrie, there was no one to restrain them, which completely opened the floodgates for their attack. Coupled with the wonderful performance of Lord Roose Bolton, the attack in the valley was directed at those who fought in the last war. allies.
But even so, their contradictions still exist, and with the war, they have become deeper and deeper.
Families who want to do business feel like, damn, I'm being coerced by you militants. The command of my own army is no longer in my hands, and you still send my people first every time we fight.
When dividing the spoils, you don't allocate them well. Each of you is just patronizing yourself.
This happened not once or twice, so several valley nobles headed by the Grafson family were very angry.
John Royce and others from the main war faction believed that these leaders and factions were not effective in their work and were not active in fighting and charging. Therefore, they were full of complaints and went back and forth. The conflicts accumulated and deepened, and eventually they were in the same situation.
This time, Beidaying and Xidaying are the concentrated expression of this contradiction.
The northern camp was basically composed of Yohn Royce's direct troops. When the Earl of Runestone City went north to pursue Clay, he almost emptied the camp.
The troops entrenched in the Western Camp are mainly from the Lindley family from Snakewood City and the Grafson family from Seagull Town. They are also considered the Lords of the Valley and have close ties with Earl Petyr.
Yohn Royce arranged them to the most dangerous west, and kept forcing them to attack the city in the previous war, causing Snakewood City and Seagull Town to lose many people.
Therefore, after John Royce led his people away, Jon Lindley of the Snakewood City troops immediately began to counterattack.
There are constant conflicts between the two sides, ranging from water sources, food and other issues to the point of fighting, even to the point of drawing swords.
If Clay comes a little later, maybe they can fight on their own.
Upon hearing the news of the arrival of Clay's army, the commander of the North Camp, as the siege army appointed by John Royce to stay behind, immediately ordered the troops of the West Camp to reinforce the Beida Camp.
However, Xi Daying's reaction is also very real, and it can be summed up in one sentence.
Go to sleep and stop dreaming.
Why didn't you think of us when you divided the spoils? Why do we always go first when we attack a city?
If that old guy John Royce hadn't put too much pressure on us, would we people pay attention to you?
Now, you want to transfer us to your camp and let us be used as cannon fodder for you people under Clay Mandler's attack. How is that possible? Do you really think that we are easy to bully?
So, when Clay defeated the racecourse garrison and led his army to the foot of Shili City, he saw this strange sight that he could not understand for a time. It once made him fall into deep confusion because he could not understand the valley at all. human logic.
After giving the order to attack, Clay still stayed cautious and kept an eye on the direction of the West Camp. He also held a reserve team of 200 people in his hand in case the West Camp suddenly ate smart beans and came out again. The camp is looking for trouble of its own.
However, with the frontal charge of a thousand people, they divided into three formations and jointly attacked the Beida Camp from three directions, but the West Camp did not react at all.
Clay was convinced that he didn't know whose prediction he had predicted this time. In short, it was another day of going back and forth with the air.
…
The battle went very smoothly. Clay did not give the valley people of the Beida camp any more time to dig trenches. The two cavalry phalanxes on the left and right went around it. Only three unlucky ones were tripped by the attacking cavalry in the middle. fall.
This group of non-professional infantrymen spent their time on defense, but actually had no effect at all. If anything, they just gave them some psychological comfort, which was better than nothing.
The cavalry charged in, but the valley men only resisted for ten minutes before they began to flee and disperse, screaming various names, mixed with strange curses that revealed their quirks.
Clay's cavalry did not get used to these guys. The hearty battle before had already restored the confidence of these riverlanders who had been suffering defeats before.
It turns out that we can also win the battle!
Then why can you win as soon as you follow Master Clay, but you couldn't win before?
Although they have not received systematic education, everyone has obviously learned the control variable method well.
As a result, poor Lord Edmure Tully once again suffered everyone's collective contempt, and he deserved the title of God of War in the Riverlands.
There was no bloodshed, because less than a quarter of the people were killed, and the remaining ones who were surrounded surrendered.
No one has trouble with his own life. This does not mean that there are war horses to run.
I can’t run, I can’t fight, what can I do?
The first guy with a face full of fear dropped his sword and knelt down in the mud, and then a chain reaction started. When Clay came closer on horseback, a large area was kneeling in front of him.
This is the normal state of the cold weapon battlefield. Basically, if one side loses more than 20% of its personnel, the organization will collapse.
The battles that Clay fought in the past were basically encirclement and annihilation battles with constant bloodshed, so this law failed.
But if the number of people is equal and you want to defeat the enemy, this law has been tried and tested.
This is the normal state of the army in this era. After all, everyone is afraid of death. Seeing his comrades around him with broken arms and legs, and the blood spurting from his throat splashing on his face. If he says he is not afraid at all, it can only mean that he is not afraid at all. Man is a lunatic.
"Lord Clay, we captured this guy. He must be a noble. He wanted to seize our horse and run away, but he was blocked. Some of the soldiers heard that this man was called Sir Royce."
Two tall and thick-set Riverland soldiers threw a young man with brown hair into the mud pit trampled by the war horses.
The defeated noble will automatically be demoted one level. He used to be a knight, so don't expect the soldiers of the Riverlands to treat him politely.
"Despicable riverlanders launched a sneak attack on my army. This is not honorable. Untie my hand and let me have a duel with you!"
The young valley noble shouted, and the words in his mouth made Clay feel like he was in another world.
Otherwise, he had not heard such a stupid statement for a long time.
Clay took out his riding crop and asked in a calm voice:
"They call you Ser Royce, so are you the son of Yorn Royce?"
"You don't want to know! You..."
The whip tore through the air, making a burst of noise, and then struck Sir Royce's incredibly pretty face hard.
Suddenly, a bright red bloodstain appeared.
Clay actually saved his strength, otherwise, with the strength of his hand, this whip would have disfigured the young knight for life.
To Clay's surprise, the young knight was quite strong. After being whipped, he didn't make any despicable screams except covering his face and hissing at the air conditioner.
Much better than the previous Royce Cowart.
Clay waited for a while, his voice calm, and continued to ask:
"Tell me your name. My patience is limited, Daleman."
"Whether you die here or live, it's your choice, but remember, there is no second time."
