Game of Thrones: I loaded the Witcher system

Different from the anxiety in Harrenhal, the current town of Earl Holloway has turned into a complete construction site.

More than 6,000 people have been working on civil engineering projects nearby. It has been half a month since they arrived here.

The Savage Army and the Mandalay Family's new recruits, the Egg Army, had little experience and low efficiency at the beginning, but now they have become masters at digging holes and building walls at the same time, with extremely high efficiency.

It’s not that they have such high enthusiasm that they can do selfless work.

It was because their commander, Sir Marlon Manderly, made it clear to them:

"When we came here, we just inserted the dagger into the backyard of the old lion and the eagle cubs. They are now howling in pain and want to take back this place at all costs."

"Let me make it clear to you. The order given to me by Lord Clay Mandler is to stay here. Even if we fight to the last man, I will not allow him to escape."

"From outside the wall to here, you people have already knelt down to Lord Clay Mandler once. There is no need for me to recall for you what kind of person he is. If you want to live a good life in the warm south, just Let me fight for a future with my own life."

"And you, Mr. Clay Manderly gave you lazy guys who could never find a woman in their life, and gave each of you a bitch, saving you all from drooling looking at your neighbor's butt every day, hoping to go back alive to be with your own. Mother-in-law is reunited, just do as I say!"

The old jazz voice was deafening, not noble, but powerful enough.

For the savage captives outside the Great Wall, their only need is to live, or to live peacefully in the future.

For the more than 3,000 former bachelors in Baigang, they are overjoyed to finally have a taste of their own women. If they want to keep this beauty, they must endure it. After this battle, you can go home in a show of glory with your military exploits.

There is no need to tell them about Robb Stark or Eddard Stark. To put it bluntly, does this matter have anything to do with them?

No, not even a Bronze Star connection!

As long as you make them think that they can get what they want by fighting with you, all those things are nonsense, and the soldiers will naturally work hard for your goal.

And if the soldiers don't get what they want, even if you talk about breaking the sky, you will only get the soldiers to look down upon you. They will cut off your head at some point and give it to someone who can realize their demands. people.

Ser Malon has lived a long life, experienced the collapse of the Targaryen dynasty, the establishment of the Baratheon dynasty, decades of ups and downs, what has he not seen? Handling these things is naturally a matter of course.

He successfully mobilized the enthusiasm of the soldiers, and with appropriate guidance, half a month later, a low, circular earthen city defense line miraculously appeared on the outskirts of Earl Holloway's town.

Sir Malone also ordered his soldiers to dig many pits just big enough to break the legs of horses on the outside of Tucheng, specifically to deal with possible valley cavalry.

Then, he followed Clay's example and sent out a large number of scouts to control every move in the nearby area, making sure to prevent the camp attack from happening again.

After being cautious for a long time, Sir Malone found that he had cut off the retreat of the Lannister and the Valemen, but the reaction speed of the two families was ridiculously slow.

He didn't know that the army in the valley had been successfully contained by his young master with less than 2,000 men. Now he was so busy taking care of himself that he didn't even know that his old nest had been raided.

The same is true on the Lannister side. Tywin Lannister knew that Lord Harroway's town had fallen, but he only knew that it was captured by the Manderly family's two thousand cavalry.

But even with these two thousand cavalry, Tywin Lannister couldn't handle it because he also lacked manpower.

Harrenhal is too big, and 20,000 people may seem like a lot, but if he wants to maintain suppression over Robb Stark in the city, he must ensure that he has enough troops.

The two thousand cavalry of the Manderly family are behind you. How many people do you want Tywin Lannister to use to drive them away and take back this logistics center?

That's cavalry, not two-legged infantry. If you send infantry over, won't people run away?

And Tywin currently has more than 3,000 cavalry. If they are all sent to deal with Marlon Manderly, they will not be sent out.

But as soon as the cavalry left, Tywin Lannister lost all his mobility. If Robb Stark in the city chose this time to break out, what would Tywin Lannister do to pursue him?

But the old Duke, who had been fighting all his life, was very worried.

Originally, this matter was all the fault of the Valemen, Tywin Lannister thought at the time. The Valemen defeated Robb Stark's army in one battle and forced Edmure Tully back to Riverrun. .

Thinking about it, the entire eastern part of the Riverlands is very safe, so Tywin Lannister dared to besiege Harrenhal with peace of mind.

But I didn't expect that the lingering Clay Manderly actually led people into Riverrun City himself. I don't know what method he used to gain control of the cavalry of the princes in the Riverlands.

Then he used the two thousand men in his hand to fight with John Royce's five thousand men. What's even more outrageous is that he could actually command his own cavalry remotely. With everyone's eyes on him, the Eastern Three When the city and Harrenhal were attracted, the logistics center of the surprise attack was launched.

As soon as the town of Earl Harroway was lost, all the troops on the front line suddenly ran out of food and grass supplies, and all the yellow bars fell... Cross it out, and the combat effectiveness will inevitably plummet.

The most correct thing Edmure Tully did in this war was to carry out a thorough clearing of the fighting area, turning a large area into scorched earth.

This also stopped the Valelanders and Lannisters from raiding the countryside for supplies, and they could only survive by transporting food from the rear.

The reason for all this is actually very simple to sum up.

The people of the Vale think they can do it, but they can't. The Lannister thinks the people of the Vale can do it, so they don't care.

All I can say is that choosing a good teammate is very important.

Let the Valley people, who come and go like the wind, and are famous for their cavalry, engage in this little-by-little push tactic. They will be damned if they can execute it well.

…

Chrissen led the horses and quickly headed eastward along the entire river road, and finally arrived at the town of Earl Harroway where nine thousand troops gathered.

His arrival once again refreshed Sir Malone's understanding of Clay's fighting ability.

Good guy, you used 2,000 people to tease 5,000 people, and actually made the other party play around. While he could only follow behind you and eat dust, you also conveniently took away the other party's horse farm and took away 4,000 of the fine war horses from the valley. return.

Sir Malone could only be amazed at this. He would definitely not be able to do it.

Of course he knew Kerrison, after all, he was Clay's personal bodyguard.

Kristen, who was on a mission, did not hesitate to tell him. He directly relayed Clay's order to the actual commander-in-chief of the small town armies, Earl Harroway, and brought Earl Karstark to him. Got him.

"Okay, no problem, you can take away the two thousand cavalry."

Sir Malone didn't stumble even a single step. It wasn't because he trusted Kristen in front of him too easily.

If he was a spy from the Valley or Lannister and wanted to defraud these two thousand Mandalay elite cavalry, how could he come with so many war horses? The cost of gaining trust would be too high.

After listening to Sir Malone's words, Kristen nodded slightly. Both he and Sir Malone were named Mandalay, and they were both members of the family, but they were not the main lineage of the family like Clay and the old man.

"Can Clay still maintain his position in Stone Fence City? He only has less than 2,000 people."

Sir Malone expressed his worries. Obviously, with the number of people on his side, including the 20,000 people in Riverrun, it is theoretically not impossible to keep all the less than 10,000 Vale people here.

But the fact is that they now have to rely on Clay's more than a thousand people to contain them, which really makes him, the commander-in-chief of a large army, quite angry.

Kerrison shook his head. He was also worried. He brought people to escort the horses eastward, and Lord Clay had even less power.

"Sir, I'm worried too, so I won't stay with you any longer. Now I'll take two thousand cavalry to find Lord Clay. With these two thousand of us joining, I believe Lord Clay will have the confidence to fight with John." ·Royce has a decisive battle.”

Without any delay, Kristen explained Clay's arrangements for the eastern front, and immediately led the Mandalay family's cavalry and walked west along the River Avenue again.

He had thought to himself that if Master Clay's attack went smoothly, the Valley people under Stone fence city should have been wiped out by now.

Yohn Royce, who discovered that his base area had been lost, would definitely not be stupid enough to hit the stone fence city defended by Master Clay with his head. He would either go south to join the valley troops in the other two cities, or else he would retreat eastward. .

No matter what he did, the most urgent task for his two thousand men at the moment was to block Yohn Royce's retreat route.

Clay said that he was going to smash Yohn Royce's army. As his personal guard, Kerrison naturally had to share his master's worries.

…

"My Lord Earl, since Lord Clay intends to let you command the army, I will naturally not be stingy. I will become your deputy and assist you in commanding the army."

Sir Malone's tone was calm, but Lord Karstark, who was sitting opposite him, could not hide his excitement.

Along the way, he kept thinking about how the Mandalay family could recruit 7,000 people in the east for him to command.

If we include the losses in the previous war and the two thousand cavalry that just left, wouldn't there be tens of thousands of troops directly affiliated with the Mandalay family?

This is a number that no family in the north can accept.

But now, when Count Karstark saw with his own eyes the brand-new earth city standing in the wilderness and the dense crowds of people busy building the city, Count Karstark understood that Clay really did not lie to him.

These are 7,000 people. Regardless of their fighting strength, with their numbers here, this is a force that no one can underestimate and can influence the current situation of the war.

With these seven thousand people here and this newly built earth city, Earl Harroway's town has become a fortress that is almost impossible to fall at the moment.

Clay wanted to come here on his own because he wanted to use his relatively capable military abilities to make the enemies who dared to attack this earthen city shed their last drop of blood.

At this point, if the people of the Vale want to go home and the Lannister wants to have food to eat, they must find a way to get it back.

And this is exactly what Clay wants.

From this moment on.

Offense and defense have changed shape!
