Game of Thrones: I loaded the Witcher system
Chapter 280 Crazy Harvesting
Clay finally arrived at the battlefield of Harrenhal. Behind him, the flags of the Riverlands and the Mandalay family in the north, and the Karstark family were flying, and nearly 20,000 troops rumbled out behind him.
But he had to admit that he was late.
…
More than 400 cavalrymen led by Chrissen directly attacked their opponents.
Although he said he didn't care about the Lannister cavalry on both wings trying to outflank him, it was a general rule on the battlefield that he couldn't let his opponents accomplish what they wanted to do.
Therefore, Kerrison does not plan to give these Lannisters more time to prepare.
The heavy cavalry charged, first walking on a small foot, and then slowly starting to run. Finally, about a hundred meters away from the Lannister army's line, Cresson's troops began to charge at full speed.
This is done to maximize the formation and keep the formation from being scattered, while taking into account the high-speed impact capability of the cavalry.
On the Lannister side, seeing these guys with blood on their lances, like lumps of iron, rushing towards them, many Lannister soldiers were so nervous that their mouths went dry.
Kerrison could hear the Lannister commander in front of him shouting:
"Stay in formation, don't be afraid."
"Turn the spear outward and stab them to death!"
There was a sound of horse hooves, and he saw Kristen's left hand that had been free in front of him, making a gesture.
The magic power gathered from the body to the palms and between.
Just listening, he silently recited the name of this seal in his heart:
"Alder!"
There was a low roar, and the blue-white shock wave flashed away. The four Lannister sword and shield bearers in front of the Christian horse, the shields in their hands, and their bodies were thrown away in response.
Along with it, the spearman behind him also fell to the ground in an instant.
The war horse, also wearing heavy armor, tore through the first and second lines of defense without any resistance, which was also the most difficult line of defense to break through. Then, Kerrison saw the people in front of the horse, whose faces were full of panic. Lannister archers who had time to fire a few arrows.
The breakthrough came so fast that these guys who were originally quietly outputting in the back row had no time to react.
It was difficult for them to understand how the guy in front of them, whose murderous aura was almost strong enough to be substantial, could break through the defense line of his comrades in front.
It was as if this guy had knocked them away.
But now, they have no extra time to think about this type of problem.
Because, Krissen's lance was already in front of their eyes.
The bloody light appears!
Due to the high speed of the war horse, the sharp lance directly penetrated the chest of a guy on the right side of Kristen. The tip of the gun came from behind. In less than ten seconds, the guy on the tip of the gun was already dead. Died from hemorrhage.
Krissen waved his arm and slammed the unfortunate guy into the array of Lannister archers on the other side who were unloading their bows. Then, he turned his horse's head and headed towards the Lannister archers in the back row. He accelerated and rushed over.
The cavalry following Krissen certainly understood what the commander meant. They followed the breach opened by Kristen and opened it to an extent that the Lannister infantry could not close.
They then spontaneously split into two directions and began slamming into the Lannister rear row of archers.
This is the biggest advantage of cavalry on the battlefield. They are flexible enough. As long as they are allowed, they can quickly reach wherever they want to go, and many tactics can be implemented.
Kerrison leads the most elite heavy armored cavalry. They use them to harvest weak long-range units such as archers. Sometimes, there is no need for the cavalry on horseback to use their guns at all.
Just control the speed of the war horses, knock them to the ground with the iron-clad chest, and then be trampled to death by the horseshoes of the brothers who follow behind.
This scene startled the commander of the Lannister army on one side, a knight from the Malbrand family of Brand City.
His name is Adam Malbrand, heir to Brand City and the eldest son of Count Damon Malbrand.
The young sergeant originally stayed in the camp and served as a guard at the North Gate Lannister Barracks. His father, Damon Malbrand, knew very well that this battle would lead to bloodshed, so for the sake of the Malbrand family In order to prevent the death of his heir, he locked his son in the military camp and led the Western Army to participate in the siege.
But the young knight was young and energetic, so he could not stand this anger. No, the young knight knew that just after Krissen's army defeated the two hundred patrolling cavalry. Then, he rushed to the gate of the North Gate Barracks as soon as possible and took him with him. The eight hundred infantrymen who were hastily assembled formed such a paper-thin defense line.
All I can say is that it is a good thing to seek a fight and have a fighting spirit, but you also have to choose the person based on the situation.
Not being able to weigh one's own weight clearly, such behavior can only be accurately described as sending someone to death.
"Quickly, the young guard, go to the rear, enter the village wall, and let them open the door!"
The head guard of the Malbrand family was an experienced battlefield veteran. When he saw this situation, he knew that these 800 people were definitely doomed.
A single confrontation was enough to get someone stabbed in the face. Now this group of northerners who came from nowhere are harvesting our own archer troops wantonly.
After the archers were almost dead and the remaining ones fled in all directions, this group of cavalry could once again tear apart the defense line consisting of spearmen and sword and shieldmen from the rear.
Then divide and surround them.
Several guards of the Malbrand family, with burning trees embroidered with orange smoke on their chests, immediately ran behind them with a wink, dragging the unresponsive little master.
According to the current state of this group of vicious cavalry, if the young knight's obvious aristocratic appearance is discovered by them, he will definitely be their first target of attack.
Swords are blind on the battlefield. Who knows if these guys who are already killing people like crazy will get mad and stab the little knight in the chest with a lance.
If something like that really happened, then these guards would be executed one by one by the furious Count Damon Malbrand, and there would be absolutely no chance of survival.
Therefore, quickly send this little ancestor into the stronghold wall, hoping that these things can slightly block the attack spearhead of this group of northern cavalry.
It can only be said that according to general logic, the head guard is right to understand this.
Because people like Krissen already have an excellent harvest opportunity. As long as he wants, it is up to him to decide how many of these 800 infantrymen can return.
But the problem is that Kerrison's primary goal here today is not to kill people.
He wanted to break into the Lannister army's camp, turn it upside down, and then appear under the city of Harrenhal to give moral support to the defenders on the city.
After harvesting so many lives that Kerrison himself could not count, the lance that had been tucked under his arm finally reached the limit of its lifespan and broke from the handle with a click.
Without any hesitation, Krissen threw the half-broken stick in his hand with all his strength. After knocking over a Lannister spearman, he pulled out the sharp steel sword from his waist and continued to charge.
He was not afraid at all. Originally, the thick iron armor provided enough defense. When the arrows shot by the Lannister archers hit the armor, other than a tinkling sound, there was nothing else. It has no effect.
Moreover, this kid is a thief. Every time he feels that the Kunen shield is almost consumed, he will make up for it in time.
Normally, his magic power would not recover so quickly, but now his job is to hit people with his horse, and the damage received is actually very little, so he can achieve the Quen cycle on this battlefield.
It can be said to be very shameless.
Until now, this kid is still in an unscathed state. As the spearhead of the attack, he is the first to take advantage of the situation... Oh no, he is the first to bear the pressure. This is almost a miracle.
Soon, most of the 800 Lannister troops and 300 archers were killed by Cresson's more than 400 cavalry, and the rest dispersed in a rush, leaving the entire battlefield empty.
It’s not their fault. This is not a 2D game. It’s only when all the soldiers in an army are killed.
In fact, an army that can withstand a quarter of casualties and maintain its structure can be considered an iron army in any dimension.
For these three hundred archers to be able to carry this weight, it is already considered very good.
Although, it is undeniable that they only have two legs. If they want to run, they can't outrun the four legs of cavalry horses like Cresson.
After the harvest was completed, Cresson led the army to regroup among the remaining Lannister military formations and the wall of the north gate.
Heavy cavalry is no better than light cavalry. Each round of charge consumes a lot of money on the war horse, and it is necessary to stop to let the war horse recover its strength.
And these clumsy Lannister infantrymen instinctively wanted to turn around at this time, because the enemy was behind them, but because their commander, the sergeant of the Malbrand family, had been killed by his bodyguards. Got it taken away.
Therefore, these people completely lost their command.
However, it would be difficult for them to expect them, who were basically farmers and craftsmen, to use their initiative on the battlefield and adjust their formations spontaneously.
Therefore, their formation became more chaotic.
Originally, the charge of more than 400 riders by Krissen had already frightened them. The screams of the archers behind them still echoed in their ears, and the rich smell of blood lingered on the tip of their noses for a long time.
Moreover, they now lost their commander and had no idea what to do. Some people turned around in a hurry and aimed their spears and steel swords at the rear.
However, others did not do this, and for a while, the army was in chaos.
They even had a quarrel over the formation.
Later, it developed into a fatal blow to morale.
I don't know who it was, but he couldn't bear it first. He threw away the weapon in his hand with a strange cry, then started to leave the military formation and ran away madly in a direction he thought was safe.
There are always a lot of smart people. If one person does this, the people behind him will immediately follow him. In an instant, the defensive line that was still barely a line collapsed in a few breaths.
As they ran, they encountered the Lannister cavalry who had just outflanked from both sides, trying to steal Cresson's ass.
Seeing this group of desperate deserters, the leader of the Lannister commander showed disdain in his eyes.
Tywin Lannister runs the army strictly and always kills deserters without mercy.
As a result, heads flew up one after another.
Kristen didn't care about this. After he assembled his troops, he rested for a while, and then he saw Adam Malbrand and his group who were trying to open the gate of the village.
There was a look of satisfaction on his face, and he knew who his next target was.
