Chapter 19: Dynamics of all parties

finally

Makino, armed with ten of his bodyguards, equipped with repeating crossbows and six thousand crossbow arrows, as well as necessary supplies, left the camp at night and walked straight into the dense forest from the west side of Gray Water.

Due to the small number of people and the trails left by hunters in the dense forest, although they can't gallop at will, they can still trot.

When it was slightly brighter, they had already stopped to repair in the middle of the journey. Starting a fire would expose the position, and they could only eat water and bread and dried meat. Their cheeks were numb after chewing them. In addition, the cold wind blew in the middle of the night, and it seemed that their cheeks were no longer their own.

Yes.

"Lord Moore, why do we have to walk through the dense forest?" The thin Amy took a sip of the water she used to keep warm.

Makino swallowed the last bite of bread and patted the crumbs that fell on his body. "Soldiers are also deceitful." He stood up and looked at his cronies. "A battle between two armies is a competition of strength and a psychological game.

To fight with troops, you must be cunning.

When we are strong, we have to pretend to be weak. This is called showing weakness to the enemy and paralyzing the opponent.

It obviously looks like they are going to attack the east, but the main force attacks the west. This is called east attacking west.

If the enemy's command is greedy, use profit to seduce him; if he is strong, be on guard against him; if he is irritable and irritable, he can be provoked to anger and lose his mind; if he has low self-esteem and is cautious, he will be arrogant; if he is physically strong, he will be tired; if he is intimately united, he will be provoked.

To separate, attack the opponent's unprepared areas and launch an attack at an unexpected time.

War is not just a matter of villagers fighting each other, it is a matter of life and death for countless people. One wrong decision will cause everyone to lose. Behind us are our brothers who have been through life and death, our fathers and mothers, our wives and children.

We have no escape route, we cannot lose!"

The ten guards stared at Makino dumbfounded, their eyes full of admiration, and they were speechless for a long time.

"And our passage through the dense forest is taking advantage of the inertial thinking that it is well known that the army cannot pass through the dense forest.

In fact, it is not impossible for the army to pass through, but it will be very passive. If the enemy attacks with fire, and it is dry today, everything as far as the eye can see will be scorched earth in less than a morning, and the army will also be burned to coke.

But we have a total of eleven people and twenty-two horses. Although we are not very fast, we are very maneuverable and can advance and retreat in a controlled manner.

They knew that a large force would not be stupid enough to enter a dense forest, and a small force would not pose a threat, so they would subconsciously ignore this possibility.

Now we can use the path they subconsciously ignored to advance and launch an attack unexpectedly.

Of course, our main task this time is not to kill the enemy, but to let them fight among themselves.

Well, time waits for no one, so clean it up and don’t leave any traces.”

After Makino explained, everyone set off again.

Stannis's 30,000 troops have crossed Eagle Cape and stopped at the seaside to repair. Scouts were sent out to explore the road ahead and collect intelligence. At the same time, messenger crows reported the situation of the coalition forces everywhere.

Destroying the letter, Stannis rubbed his brows and looked at the map, replacing the positions of Renly, Tywin, and Little Rose with chess pieces.

"Sir, we have chosen the farthest route, which requires faster marching speed and more supplies." The Onion Knight moved his beard, "It is true that a lion fights a rabbit with all his strength, but there are a total of 20,000 troops in the north.

, the combined forces of the coalition numbered 300,000.”….

"That's right. Of course fifteen times the force went north not only to kill Eddard and avenge the previous king. The Lannister family was not so kind. The area of ​​the north almost occupies one-half of the continent of Westeros. How many of them are there?

No one knows about the mineral deposits until they are discovered." Stannis looked at the Onion Knight, "Not only the Lannister family, but also the Little Finger of the Vale and the Little Rose of Highgarden. They have been coveting the North for a long time. This time

It’s just a high-sounding reason.”

Tywin drank the mellow wine with a smile on his face. He had just received the latest information, which was the northern army's action plan and camp deployment.

"Guerrilla warfare is a good idea. It is a plan that an old wolf like Ed can come up with."

James

Some worry, "But they are so scattered, we can't solve the battle quickly. The people in the North are familiar with the terrain and environment, and can use local materials for supplies. But our 80,000 plus the Tully family's 20,000, there are so many mouths to feed tomorrow."

We can't even load ten trucks with food. If this stalemate continues, it will be detrimental to us."

"Our goal has never been to kill many people, but to occupy their territory. Although guerrilla warfare is flexible, how long can field supplies last? They will always return to the city, but the city has been occupied by us," Tywin's face was filled with confidence.

With the dignity of the Lion Family, "then we won't chase them, but they will throw themselves into the trap. Now all the northern troops are here, and the rear is extremely empty. As long as you contain them here, you can lead the troops to march straight into Huanglong. These

The people in the north are all hard-core and unwilling to surrender, so break their backbones and cut off their roots!"

James opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything. Tywin was right. The North has never truly surrendered, and now it has gathered all its troops to go south to fight against the coalition.

But he also saw that Tywin's target this time was not just the Stark family, but the entire North.

Littlefinger stood on the shore with his hands behind his hands and watched the troops board the ship. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and his slightly narrowed eyes were brewing a plan.

He has been obsessed with conspiracy over the years, but he has forgotten that power and profit are inseparable. No matter how well-informed the intelligence is, no matter how thorough the plan is, it is just a fancy child's trick in the face of absolute power. No one can be completely trusted.

Protection, maybe one day it will be wiped off your neck.

Now that the coalition forces are moving north, King Joffrey or Duke Tywin, now the Hand of the King, has given Littlefinger a marriage to marry Lysa and become the new Duke of the Vale, and new territories will be divided based on the performance during the Northern Expedition.

Although he knew that this was just a cake drawn for him, Littlefinger would not wait for a reward stupidly. He did not trust the Lannister family, especially the old lion Tywin.

Littlefinger proposed to go back by the waterway, but he actually had his own plan. The informants in these four places, White Harbor, Old City, Gongyang Gate, and Widow's Watch, had already sent him letters. At this time, these places were at best in short supply.

A hundred soldiers guarding the defense is the most empty time.

From the waterway, troops were sent to defeat the occupation one by one. Only 10,000 of the 30,000-strong army were needed, and the other 20,000 continued to besiege Stark at Graywater Watch to ensure that all Stark's troops were destroyed there!

"Baelish, after the war is over, how about we get married and have many, many children?" Lysa was wrapped in a fur trench coat and holding her only son, who was ten years old and had not yet been weaned, in her hand.

"Okay, this war won't last long. I'm looking forward to that day..."
