Quanyou: I loaded the Demon Hunter system

Chapter 112 The Battle of the Scouts

To sum up, what Asha Greyjoy proposed is actually a political claim, because the Iron Islands in the traditional sense are only that big and their strength is very limited.

And no matter where the ironborn occupies, they will spit out the place they got at the end. Although it is a bit ridiculous, in a sense, they really lack something called the right to claim.

Westeros is so big, but every inch of land is divided into a virtual geographical concept. You are the castle in the valley, and I am in the riverland. If there is no strong person like the king standing behind, this kind of Concepts will last forever.

Therefore, in order to really occupy a place, there must be a powerful endorsement in name, such as a king.

And that was what Asha Greyjoy wanted.

However, once the northern territory represented by the Stark family really supported the Iron Islands in this matter, allowing these pirates to take Fairy Island as their own and expel the Farman family from Fairy City, That's great fun.

This means that the northern border has completely come to the opposite of the western border, because the northern border interferes with their traditional geographical division.

She thought well, but she didn't know that the man in front of her had only agreed to an unlucky guy named Aenys Frey not long ago, and the latter had now turned into a half-baked corpse.

Clay pretended to hesitate for a moment, then nodded, but shook his head again, and said:
"In principle, I can agree to these conditions, but you must attack Port Lannister first. We will only fulfill these conditions if you make Lord Tywin anxious."

How could Asha Greyjoy believe it if Clay hadn't counter-offered at all?

His words are actually a harsh counterattack, meaning that you ironmen must shed enough blood to prove your sincerity before we in the northern border will believe you.

Because if the Iron Fleet raided the Lannister Navy and burned down Lannister Port, then in this war, the Iron Islands and the Western Territory would be in an endless situation, and there would be no possibility of peace.

Of course Asha Greyjoy understood the meaning behind this sentence. Although it was ugly, it just hit her bottom line, so after staring at Clay with a black face for a long time, she finally agreed.

But immediately, a suspicious look appeared on her face, and she asked:

"You Mandalay, why can you make a decision on behalf of Stark? How do I know that the agreement we made today will go back when Rob Stark arrives?"

Clay sneered at this question directly, and he directly made a gesture of seeing off the guests:
"Then please, Miss Asha, if you are fast enough and lucky enough, you should be able to meet Lord Robb Stark before he leads his army to fight Tywin's army. You can try, he What price will those noble gentlemen around you give you?"

"Besides, let me tell you very clearly that even if you negotiate with them, I will be the one who will help you attack the western region. You know this better than anyone else. Miss Asha, think clearly before speaking. Don't think that you have too many chests. I'll be more patient with you when I grow a little."

What this said is that they don't keep any kindness, although the two of them couldn't talk about any kindness in it before.

After holding back for a long time, Asha Greyjoy said something:

"Don't underestimate women."

Clay sized Asha Greyjoy's body back and forth for a long time with unbridled eyes, deliberately staying in certain parts for a while, and before the other party broke out, he said a word with disdain:

"Don't worry about it, Miss Asha, just like you, you dare not draw a knife on me."

He lifted the curtain of the tent and walked out by himself, and the erratic young voice reached the ugly-faced daughter of the sea monster:

"Leave and bring back the terms we have negotiated. Remember, when I hear you planting squid flags over Lannister Port, that is the beginning of our attack on the Western Territory."

There was only one woman left in the tent, and here, there were women's thoughts everywhere:

"Asshole Clay Mandler, I'm going to cut you up sooner or later!"

……

Clay's cavalry army, after staying in Haijiang City for a day, immediately inserted into the Hejian battlefield.

It took the army four days to arrive near Raventree Hall, north of Riverrun.

Along the way, they encountered more than one wave of small groups of troops who had fled from the battlefield of Riverrun. Clay selected cavalrymen with fighting will to join his command.

When he was stationed in Raventree Hall with a large army, he had already controlled a cavalry force of nearly 6000 people.

He didn't choose to go any further, because if he went any further, the army would fall into the inspection range of the Lannister army scouts.

With such a large legion, it was the last thing they could do to hide themselves from the eyes of the scouts.

In order to maintain the secrecy of his army, Clay ordered the army to stop, rest in place, and wait for orders. At the same time, he sent Sir "Blackfish" Brynden to bring his four personal guards and command two hundred of the most elite cavalry to go south. .

Their purpose is to find out the layout of the Lannister army in Riverrun as soon as possible, and collect enough information for the army's next attack.

The task of these four personal guards is to cross the blockade as soon as possible and penetrate behind the enemy lines.

Clay needs to find out the logistical supply line of these Lannister troops, and find a way to cause enough trouble to this supply line.

He wants to force Jaime Lannister to allocate part of his troops to protect his own logistics line and reduce the number of Lannister legions under Riverrun.

In the original timeline, Robb Stark let thousands of Lannister troops escape back to the west during a series of attacks, but this time, Clay is making a more careful plan.

He wasn't going to put a single Lannister back.

In his opinion, this battle of his own would hit Lord Tywin's abdomen, causing him such pain that he couldn't sleep at all.

……

Sir Brynden was a little puzzled by Clay's decision to send four personal guards. He believed that they were not sent by Clay to watch him, because all the elite cavalry under him were from the north, so there was no need to send people to watch.

Lord Clay made it very clear that after they went south with him, they would soon leave the main force and continue going south, letting him leave them alone.

Continue to go south, what can only four people do?To die?
This was what Sir Brynden couldn't figure out the most. As the commander of the scout force, he couldn't help but asked the four personal guards about the purpose of going south this time.

He didn't intend to spy on any information, but just wanted to help these lads who were about the same age as Clay.

They are all elites and should not die under the enemy's siege, this is Sir Brynden's idea.

However, no matter how he asked, the four guards didn't say anything, you can talk to him about other things, but when they asked this question, the four of them collectively became dumb.

In the end, Sir Brynden stopped asking, and there was no result anyway.

When they approached within fifty miles and approached the Red Fork River, the scouts in front finally found their companions, but these opponents didn't seem to care much and acted leisurely.

Sir Brynden can understand their state of mind. Under the leadership of Kingslayer Jaime Lannister, they defeated an army of nearly Riverland soldiers along the way, and now they have surrounded the owner of Riverland. inside the castle.

With such martial arts, the surrounding Hejian princes, even if they still have troops in their hands, dare not send people to fill the battlefield of Riverrun City anymore.

Therefore, these scouts were sent out, and after the initial tension, they found that there was no enemy at all, so they gradually became slack.

So when Ser Brynden found them with a party of ten, they knew nothing.

Sir Brynden divided his 200 men into teams, guided by the people from the river, and began to infiltrate the Riverrun battlefield from all directions.

However, he didn't ask them to infiltrate too deeply, because once they were encircled and suppressed by the Lannister army too deeply, and if there were prisoners, Clay's troops would be exposed.

It can be said that 200 of the 190 people are used to attract the attention of Lannister's peripheral scouts. Only the squad led by Sir Brynden himself is really going to infiltrate Riverrun.

They pushed their horses down, and at this juncture, the presence of horses must have meant that there were cavalry around, because ordinary farmers couldn't afford a horse.

And their target, the three-man Lannister scout team, was huddling around an old oak tree that was half burned, relaxing its bladder against the roots.

Their horses were hitched about fifty paces away, an unsafe distance.

Under normal circumstances, as a scout, when you go out to inspect the enemy's situation, you can't even dismount your horse, because once you dismount or even separate from the horse, you will completely lose the mobility of the cavalry.

If you encounter an enemy and the opponent is charging towards you on a horse, the scout will not get on the horse in time, or if you get on the horse by chance but the horse speed is not enough due to the short start-up time, there is a high probability that you will be cut off from the horse.

But the current situation can only show that the Lannister army besieging Riverrun City, at least in the scouts, is already quite slack, and they don't care about the big taboo in the scouts.

For such a good opportunity, how could the battle-tested Sir Brynden let it go, the dense vegetation jungle in the river gave them a good opportunity to advance.

As the best elite troops in the northern border, each of them is equipped with one of the few strong crossbows in the army. Although they are not as good as the ones assigned by Clay to his own soldiers, they are still mid-range killers.

The ten people were divided into two teams, and from the east and west directions, under the cover of vegetation, they slowly moved around the three Lannister scouts, forming a siege.

The distance was getting closer and closer, and the optimal attack distance had been reached. Sir Brynden stopped in his tracks. From this position, the ugly laughter of the Lannister scouts could already be heard clearly.

After discussing breaking Riverrun, they wanted to snatch a few women to have a good time. One of them seemed to be still marching through Riverrun during the war, and was sharing the advantages and disadvantages of women from the river and women from the West with their companions.

Just after exuberantly exchanging the upper body of the woman in Hejian with his companion, and was about to bring the topic to the lower body, there was a pop sound, and a sharp arrow shot out from the middle of his throat, piercing the skin.

The spurted blood directly poured over the face of his companion opposite him, polluting his vision.

Death was inevitable, the Lannister scout shot through the neck fell to the ground, gasping for breath, blood bubbles bubbled from the wound, the arrow completely pierced his trachea, and at the same time grazed arteries of the neck.

And the other northern scouts who came up cut them down to the ground before the remaining two Lannisters could react. However, one of them didn't hit the vital part. It was the tongue, so it had to be kept. questioning.

"Please, bandage me. My leg is bleeding. If this continues, I will die..."

Under the gaze of his companion's gray and white eyes, feeling the continuous loss of blood from his thigh, the Lannister scout finally collapsed, and the desire to survive overwhelmed all honor and belief.

"You bandage me up first, please, I'll tell you anything you want to know!"

Seeing the effect, Ser Brynden winked at one of the scouts, who tore off the sleeve of a corpse and pretended to work on the legs of the still-living Lannister scout.

This is a consolation. These people from the northern border acted very darkly. Just now, in order to prevent this person from escaping, they stabbed a sword in his thigh, causing a huge wound that could not be healed under the current technical conditions.

If it was in peacetime, he should be lying in the Church of the Seven Gods now, and the fat-minded priests would recite the scriptures of the Seven Gods that they were not very familiar with, and let him spend the last part of his life.

When a person dies, ask the family members to collect enough fees. If the Golden Dragon pays enough, they will be buried in the cemetery behind the church. If they cannot even pay for the Bronze Star, the family members will go back and forth by themselves. You can do it in your own home.

The noble servants of the Seven Gods, how could they take care of such a thing?
But unfortunately, this is a battlefield, there are no priests or scriptures, let alone his family members, only comrades-in-arms or enemies.

However, he will still lie in the mud in the end, although it is only a shallow pit, because the scouts in the northern border do not want their whereabouts to be discovered. If someone finds them, they cannot let them find these Lannister corpses .

As for whether people will find out later, it doesn't matter anymore. By that time, the battle of Riverrun City will definitely be over. If he wins, the army will be stationed in Riverrun City, and he will be kissed by the woman in Hejian as a hero.

Losing, it's amazing, just lying on the ground like these Lannisters.

The heroic people in the north had already been prepared for this kind of mental preparation. From the moment they left Neck, they were ready to sacrifice their lives.

On the battlefield, you kill me and I kill you, who can guarantee that they will survive each time?
