Game of Thrones: I loaded the Witcher system

Harry Rivers finally agreed to send his half-sisters and sisters to Riverrun.

However, this boy was quite stubborn and did not let Clay's cavalry escort him. Instead, he selected a few of the surviving Blinken family guards who he considered loyal.

Clay respects his decision. After all, this is a family matter of his Blinken family. Clay has no reason or interest to interfere.

During the time arranged by Harry Hewen, Clay took his two witcher guards to the west wall of Stonehedge City and observed the west camp of the valley not far below the city.

Although Clay has actually solved the siege of Shili City, he can't be selectively blind. He really can't see the more than a thousand people under the city, can he?

At any rate, it was the same army that defeated Robb Stark's army and allowed the 20,000-strong army in the Riverlands to shrink into one area of ​​Riverrun.

Give me a little face...

The city bricks were damaged a lot, and under the snow, you could faintly see dried blood stains everywhere.

Clay could see clearly that at least the people of the valley had really attacked this stone fence city with all their strength.

This is not something that can be found by touching. If such a battlefield scene can be found by touching fish, then the throne of the Seven Kingdoms should have been named Arryn long ago. There would be no such thing as Targaryen or Baratheon.

It has been snowing these days, and the fine and dense snowflakes have decorated the city head in pure white.

This was a scene that could only be seen in the north, but now, all the castles in the Riverlands look like this, and only Harrenhal in the south is still raining.

"Lord Clay, this Western Camp of the Valley People is clearly set up for attack and siege. There are no defensive measures at all and it is full of flaws."

After looking at it for a long time, one of the two demon hunter guards looked at each other and gave a very pertinent evaluation.

Clay nodded. Indeed, what this guy said was absolutely right.

A camp where a large army was stationed had only a shallow circular trench blocking the outside. There was nothing else except a thin wooden wall.

This was not planned at all. What on earth would they do as a defender if someone attacked them from the outside.

This is a classic case of habitual thinking killing people.

These people in the valley believed too much in their cavalry. After defeating Robb Stark's army, the entire army in the valley was filled with an aura of arrogance.

In their view, the Northerners who had once suppressed the elite Lannister army were defeated by their own cavalry, just like chopping melons and vegetables.

Then let me ask, in such a big Westeros, who else can stop the attack of the Valley Cavalry Legion?

So what about Renly's 100,000 troops. Faced with the repeated charges of the Vale Cavalry, the army was destined to lose heart, collapse their formation, and eventually be crushed to pieces by the iron hooves of the Vale Cavalry.

This is what they thought and did, but the desperate defense of the three cities in the eastern part of the Riverlands taught these proud guys a lesson.

Horses are not tanks and cannot break down city walls. The extremely powerful cavalry legion has no way to deal with the completely fortified Shili City.

Forced by helplessness and damaged self-esteem, the Valley people changed their style of play and decided to use infantry tactics, which they were least good at, and began a bloody infantry siege.

But the result... So far, the flags of the Riverlands are still flying in the three eastern cities, which is the best proof.

"Lord Clay, why do we keep them in such a camp? With just one attack, we can defeat them all. In this way, there will no longer be a threat between Stonehedge and Riverrun."

"That's true, but the question is, how to fight?"

"How to fight? Sir, what do you mean..."

Clay pointed to the camp in the distance and said calmly:

"Remember, our enemies are not just the more than a thousand horseless Vale people at our feet, but also the five thousand people of Yohn Royce, the thousands of people in Acorn Hall and Stone Hall Town in the south, and , Tywin’s twenty thousand.”

"It's certainly possible to deal with more than a thousand toothless people by just attacking and charging, but this is the least efficient method and we lose the most."

Clay turned around, pointed to the city, and whispered:

"When we left Riverrun, we had a total of 2,200 men in hand, but what about now? Not counting the 500 Earl Mallister's troops who went north to lure the enemy, our troops now total only 1,400 Are there many people?”

"What's the result of the battle? We only killed about a thousand of the Valley people's troops. In fact, the exchange ratio was about one to three. This was still the result of mental calculation and unintentional calculation."

"If according to your idea, we bring the army and attack them with all our strength, even if we defeat them, how many people will we lose?"

"One hundred? Two hundred? Or three hundred?!"

Seeing that both of them lowered their heads and remained silent, Clay let out a long breath and suddenly lost interest.

There is no shortage of guys under his command who can charge into battle, but few of them really make use of the thing around their necks.

In other words, Clay's men, a group of reckless men, have won one victory after another, spoiling these guys rotten.

They only know one thing clearly: they can win the battle by listening to Master Clay. Over time, they will go to the battlefield without thinking. Wherever Clay tells them to fight, they will just rush up screaming.

Being brainless, obedient, and unambiguous in battle are extremely excellent qualities for this era.

Clay acknowledged, however, that this was a requirement for soldiers.

Now, Clay Manderly commands thousands of people, and he can barely cope with it. But once the Manderly family and the Targaryen family merge, Clay will have to command tens of thousands of people.

As for the current social system in Westeros, there are not many officers who know how to fight, and it is impossible to play at all. You can't just use the nobles from Dorne. This will have a profound impact on the future political situation. .

"Okay, it's not difficult for you anymore. You still have to bring people to do this. Take a look at their camp. Didn't you find that the color is not right?"

"Color? Yes, why is there so little snow on their tents?"

Someone finally realized the problem, and Clay once again asked and answered his own questions.

As soon as Clay climbed up the city wall and stood higher, he immediately discovered that the western camp of the Valley People was very crowded, and the Valley People were constantly dealing with the scanty snow on the pointed tents.

Seeing this situation, Clay immediately thought of a plan that should never be proposed on a snowy day.

Fire attack!

That's right, it's fire attack!

The Valley People's entire camp was made of wood. After such a long time, the moisture in the wood had long dried out. Now that the snow had been lightly swept away by the Valley People, the entire camp was simply a pile of dry firewood.

What worries Clay most is that they are stubborn and unable to come out. But if their lair is set on fire, Clay doesn't believe they won't come out.

Once they come out, the cavalry who have been waiting outside for a long time can easily harvest them one by one with their long swords. If this is not possible, go home as soon as possible and leave the equipment to those in need.

"You two, pick out two pieces of suitable clothing from the Valley people's equipment we captured tonight, and let me sneak into their camp at night."

At this time, one guy finally changed his mind and his ideas finally connected with Clay's.

"Sir! Are you going to set fire to it?"

Looking at the faint expression of excitement on this guy's face, Clay suddenly thought that he might be the one who has developed the most comprehensive role of the demon hunter on the battlefield.

"Gods above, someone finally figured it out. Yes, you sneak in for me, find an opportunity, use the Igni seal, and set fire to me everywhere."

"I will lead the army to meet you outside the camp. You can choose any position to break out. Remember, wrap a piece of white cloth on your right arm so that the army can recognize you."

The two demon hunter guards, with the help of the Yakshi Seal, sneaked into the West Camp. In the dark, without seeing the light of fire, a single Igni Seal could cause explosions.

As long as the wall is set on fire, the whole camp will be set on fire. Coupled with the crowded garrison style of the valley people, it is simply the best crematorium.

Clay led his troops outside the camp, enjoying the burning in the snowy night. His cavalry were responsible for hunting the fish that escaped from the fire.

There are many ways to capture a city.

Breaking the situation with force is of course the most effective way, but sometimes, the strongest fortress is often broken from within.
