Game of Thrones: Lord of the Deep
Chapter 246: The troops approach the Twins
Carlin Bay.
As the first natural barrier on the way from the north to the south, it has undergone earth-shaking changes compared to a year ago.
The army headed by Tormund had just received Thrall's order and immediately began to move south, heading straight for the Twins of the Frey family.
Tormund slowly approached the Twins with more than 10,000 infantry. After receiving the news, Walder Frey immediately organized 6,000 people to prepare to defend the Twins.
Walder Frey then sent his son with two thousand cavalry to intercept the Winter's Sons led by Tormund.
But this time it was not only the Sons of Winter who went south, but also the Knights led by Hecarim, and they also had the help of the Six Shapes.
The two thousand cavalry led by Little Walder were under Hecarim's surveillance throughout the entire process.
After Tormund discussed with Hecarim, they prepared to ambush and eat all the two thousand cavalry.
With the help of the Six-Shaped Man, Tormund pretended to set up camp on a flat place with a swamp on his back.
Little Walder, who didn't know that he was being watched by the Six-shaped Man, thought that an opportunity had come. However, Little Walder did not act rashly, but kept sending scouts to explore the way.
But this opportunity is too rare, with water behind them and flat terrain. Once the cavalry charges, the more than 10,000 infantrymen will not be able to withstand the charge of 500 knights and 1,500 cavalry.
After sending scouts to explore three times, Little Walder led the cavalry and rushed towards the Winter Son's camp.
This scene was witnessed by the Six Shapes, and Varamir immediately reported Little Walder's movements to Hecarim.
Hecarim's eyes flashed with cruelty. Ever since he killed Stannis with his own hands, he had become murderous.
But since the northern border stabilized, there has been no fighting, and Hecarim can hardly control the urge to kill in his heart.
Fortunately, we finally received Jack's order and started heading south.
Little Walder was very fast, and soon he reached the vicinity of Tormund's camp.
The camp was simply surrounded by some wooden stakes and some huge wooden barbs not far apart. Little Walder didn't know what these were, but he didn't take it to heart.
Only a few miles away, the war horses arrived in an instant.
"charge!"
Little Walder gave an order, and the two thousand cavalry began to charge. Soon the roar of horse hooves was like thunder. Little Walder took the lead in charging in front of the troops, without paying any attention to the eagle hovering above his head.
Just when Little Walder launched his charge, Hecarim, who was hanging behind, learned the news immediately.
choke--!
Hecarim suddenly drew his sword and shouted:
"In the name of the Poseidon, charge!"
"kill!"
The Scarlet Dragon Knights are the elite of the North. Although they are not large in number, their logistics and equipment are the best. Their people are strong and their horses are strong. The knights' spears they equip can easily tear apart the enemy's body.
Tormund, who was acting as a bait on the other side, was also well prepared. With a command, a large number of barbed wire nets buried in the soil were suddenly pulled up.
Barbed wire has no ability to kill with one hit, but its lethality is very high. Whether it is a person or a horse, being entangled can be fatal.
Then a row of shield soldiers stood at the front, soldiers holding blades quickly interspersed behind the shield soldiers, and three hundred crossbowmen lay on the ground and began to load the crossbow.
This change was seen by Little Walder, but the cavalry's charge was already complete and could not be stopped at all. Even if he knew it might be a trap, Little Walder had no time to stop it and could only continue to charge.
If you charge, there is still hope, but if you stop at this time, you can only wait for death.
However, in front of the entrance of the camp, in addition to horse-repelling stakes and barbed wire fences, there is also a horse trap that has been dug long ago.
The cavalry led by Little Walder instantly fell on their backs. Inconspicuous things such as horse-rejection posts and barbed wire became the biggest obstacles to Little Walder's cavalry. Especially when facing the horse-rejection posts, the cavalry's charge formation was greatly resolved.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Tormund immediately commanded the army to advance step by step, driving the cavalry led by Little Walder to the rear.
Seeing that the momentum of the cavalry charge had dissipated, Little Walder made a quick decision at this time and began to gather the scattered cavalry around him in preparation for retreat.
However, as soon as Little Walder gathered the scattered cavalry, a loud shouting of death came from behind.
"In the name of the Poseidon, charge!"
Little Walder's expression changed greatly when he saw the Red Knights howling and charging at him, and he quickly gathered his soldiers to prepare for a breakout.
The two sides collided with each other, and for a moment they were on their backs. However, the morale and weapons and equipment of both sides were not at the same level at all. The Ward family's cavalry was quickly surrounded and suppressed.
Half an hour later, the last Walder soldier was beheaded by Hecarim. He killed more than twenty people in this battle, and his armor was covered with blood.
At this time Tormund appeared next to Hecarim, "Hecarim, are you okay?"
He felt that something was wrong with Hecarim's state. Although they were on average terms of friendship, they were both subordinates fighting for His Majesty.
Hearing Tormund's voice, Hecarim put away his thoughts, turned around and smiled and said, "Okay, this feeling makes people feel so good."
Tormund frowned slightly. Hecarim's face was covered with blood and he had a strange smile on his face, which made Tormund feel uncomfortable.
"Your Majesty should be over the Twin River City at this time. Can you go to support now?"
Hecarim's eyes flashed with excitement when he heard this, "Of course, I feel very relaxed now."
After speaking, Hecarim did not give Tormund a chance to continue speaking, and directly gathered his troops and rushed towards the Twins.
Tormund frowned and immediately ordered: "Don't collect the spoils, pile up all the bodies and burn them, let's go to the Twins."
He was a little worried. Hecarim was obviously bloodthirsty. The opponent's Scarlet Dragon Knights were the only cavalry regiment in His Majesty's hands. If there was any problem, it would have a great impact on the rule of the entire Riverlands.
The large army quickly began to clean up the battlefield. After burning all the bodies, everyone immediately began to march quickly. The weighted running and leg wrapping skills that they usually thought were useless played an important role at this time.
Ten thousand people quickly set off, trotting all the way, rushing to the Twins.
Fortunately, they were not far from the Twins, and it didn't take long to reach the Twins.
Seeing Hecarim resting not far away, Tormund breathed a sigh of relief. It was already evening, and the soldiers were somewhat tired, not suitable for siege.
Tormund ordered to set up camp. The Twins was a castle built by the Frey family after three generations, and the castle was actually a military fortress.
The Frey family became wealthy by relying on the high bridge fees. Wealth means strength. Especially after obtaining part of the riverland, the Frey family can even raise a team of 6,000 people, and there is no shortage of defense equipment.
To be honest, Tormund does not want to attack the Twins. The best option now is to wait for air support. Korakshu's dragon fire can easily tear the gates and walls of the Twins.
