Quanyou: I loaded the Demon Hunter system

Chapter 114 The little lion trapping plan is launched!

"So, your suggestion is that we rush south immediately to the foot of Riverrun, and directly eat the 5000 people on the north bank of the Tengshi River. Am I right, my sir?"

This is the camp of the Northern Legion near Raventree City, where Clay waited for the scout team he sent back from the southern reconnaissance.

According to Sir Brynden, Riverrun can last for a while, but not for long.

Moreover, the capture of Edmure Tully was always a big trouble, and he was always dragged to the bottom of the city to call for the door. The old Lord Hoster Tully, who suddenly woke up one day, was eager to love his son and opened the door.

Then turn your eyes and stare twice. If Riverrun is really lost and the Riverland doesn't even have a leader, wouldn't the Tully family's surrender embarrass the Northern Legion fighting in the Riverland?
According to the basic situation of Riverrun City described by Sir Brynden, sure enough, due to the irresistible terrain, the Lannister Legion was forced to be divided into three parts, and they were blocked outside the three walls of Riverrun City.

Because of the two big rivers and a ditch filled with water, from any angle, the lions in the three camps could not support each other in time.

Therefore, Sir Brynden, who aimed to relieve the siege, suggested that he should take advantage of the cavalry and launch a sudden attack at night by surprise, directly annihilating or disrupting more than 5000 people on the north bank.

After eating the biggest lump, the remaining two small lumps are not a problem.

In the military tent, all the nobles who followed the Cray Cavalry Legion to the south were there, and after listening to Sir Brynden's suggestion, they all showed expressions of approval.

"That's right, Sir's method is very good. We northerners count as ten, and we have more than 5000 cavalry in our hands. Isn't it easy to clean up these miscellaneous lions?"

It was Earl Glover who was speaking, and he was a little excited. He poked a stick in the direction of the north bank of Riverrun City, and continued to express his views:
"This group of Lannisters must have set up an offensive formation for the siege of the city. All the supplies, including horses, must be placed relatively far from the battlefield, that is, to the north."

"In other words, these weakest but most important things are actually placed under our noses. Once our soldiers come out, is there any reason not to win?"

His words won the support of many northern nobles. Many people tapped on the table to express their agreement. Everyone turned their eyes to Clay, their commander. As long as he nodded, everyone immediately responded. Battalion prepares army.

Clay knew that Earl Glover and Sir Bryndon, from the perspective of winning this battle and rescuing Riverrun, this method was absolutely very reasonable.

12000 people is a bit difficult to chew. My 5000 cavalry and your 5000 infantry are not a sure-win situation, but the problem is that this is war, and war is a continuation of politics.

Everything in the world is as simple as that.

He sorted out his thoughts, raised his head, looked at the crowd full of hope, shook his head, and expressed his opinion:

"Everyone, I agree with you, but I have a question, where is Sir Edmure Tully?"

"..."

All the nobles look at me, I look at you, I don't know what Clay wants to say.

"We found no place in the camp to hold Edmure."

Sir Brynden shook his head in frustration. After all, they were also his relatives, and he was a person with strong family values. Although Edmure was captured by Lannister, he was angry, but more still Worry.

"That's it, sir. Let's assume that Edmure Tully is imprisoned in two camps further south. Then we will take over 5000 people on the north shore. From the perspective of the overall battle situation, what's the point?"

Clay looked straight into Ser Brynden's eyes, and continued:

"Remember what I told you in Haijiang City? We are participating in a very dangerous gamble now. Lannister, the opponent, has more golden dragons in his pocket than us, and he is holding a coin named Ai. Dormery Tully's chips."

"Sir, if we want to win this game, besides taking the last golden dragon out of their pockets, shouldn't we also win this important bargaining chip?"

Clay's words immediately became audible in the excited military camp. The northern nobles thought for a long time, but they couldn't find a reason to refute Clay.

"Oh... But, we don't know where Edmure is."

The old knight sighed with an ugly face, and said no more.

Clay had no time to say comforting words, but said:
"We can't get Edmure's chip for the time being, it's okay, then can we snatch a chip named Jaime Lannister from Lannister, so that the two sides will be equal. "

Clay's hand, with a strong point at the city of Riverrun, his voice was full of power:
"For our battle, let's not talk about breaking the siege of Riverrun. Our goal should be to capture Kingslayer Jaime Lannister, Lord Tywin's darling."

"Catch him, as long as Tywin Lannister in the east can't find Lord Ed Stark, then our war with Lannister will be invincible."

"To put it bluntly, sir, the value of a kingslayer is probably much higher than that of your nephew Edmure. I think you understand what I mean."

The old jazz struggled a little, but he understood that what the commander in front of him, Clay Manderly, was absolutely right. The Riverland had been defeated twice in a row. In fact, in a short period of time, he had no more strength in the war.

Therefore, two Edmures may not be able to exchange for a Kingslayer Jaime Lannister. This is not a good thing to say, but it is not wrong at all.

After a long silence, Earl Seven asked:
"What you said is right, Master Clay, you are the commander, we obey your will, can you tell us your thoughts?"

Obviously, Clay's words convinced them. In the battle of Riverrun, if they couldn't catch Jaime Lannister, they would be defeated, even if they wiped out more than 5000 people on the north shore.

Now that this is the case, Clay knows that the wolf pack tactics he specified at the beginning will not work, but it doesn't matter, he has another plan.

"Well, let me tell you what I think. Since we want to catch the Kingslayer, our appetite should be bigger. I want all of these 1 people!"

Clay didn't look at the astonished expressions on the faces of the nobles, and continued without hesitation:

"First step, Sir Brynden, you take 300 people, put on the banners and armor of the princes of the riverlands, and go to the vicinity of Riverrun again, and kill their scouts first, as many as you can."

"Your purpose is to trick the kingslayer into sending out all his cavalry. The harder you kill, the more cavalry he will send out. Most importantly, to give him a feeling that he won't be safe unless he gets rid of you. .”

The old jazz had already started trying to keep up with Clay's train of thought, and when he heard Clay's request, he nodded to express his complete understanding.

"Secondly, I will lead my lords to a pre-set battlefield between Raventree and Riverrun to ambush Lannister's cavalry forces."

"It's up to you, my lords, to prevent any of these Lannister bastards from running back to Riverrun to report."

What responded to Clay was the thud of the lords tapping their hands on the breastplate.

Clay took a deep breath, and said his third step plan:

"The third step, after the Lannister cavalry is wiped out, Lannister will lose almost all of its mobility. At this time, Lord Glover, I want you to take a thousand cavalry and head towards the southwest. The Golden Tooth City rushed forward."

This order made everyone a little puzzled, and someone asked:
"Master Clay, what are you going to do in the Golden Tooth City? It is impossible for Glover to take down the Golden Tooth City with 1000 people."

Clay waved his hand, signaling the other party to be calm.

"The remaining 4000 of us will attack Lannister's North Camp and Southwest Camp after we wipe out the Lannister cavalry, and tear them apart before they respond."

"Well... what about the 4000 people in the southeast?"

Sir Brynden already understood what Clay was going to do, but in order to verify his guess, he still asked.

"Sir, we killed two of their camps, what do you think the remaining 4000 people will do?"

"retreat."

"Where are you going?"

Sure enough, I was right, the commander in front of me really didn't intend to send a Lannister back to the West.

At this time, the Earl Glover who was sent out also reacted, and he blurted out:

"Golden Tooth City in the southwest!"

"Yes!" Clay knocked on the table.

"The four thousand frightened birds of their defeat, at this time, only have the idea of ​​fleeing back to Golden Tooth City as soon as possible, and you, my lord, will use your lance and long sword to give these Lannisters a ride and let them go back to the Golden Tooth City. Tell your thoughts before the gods!"

So far, Clay's plan has been fully revealed. This is a death net woven for the 1 Lannister army, and now, Clay has already planned to bind them.

This plan, from the very beginning, was based on the more than 5000 highly mobile cavalry in Clay's hands. In fact, the core is a time difference.

In addition to the first step of the lure plan, the other two steps, in the final analysis, rely on the cavalry to run faster than the infantry. After Clay wiped out all of Lannister's mobile forces, the remaining infantry can only escape. They were dealt with one by one by the cavalry.

After Klei finished speaking, the tent was quiet for a while, and then there was a loud applause. These noble gentlemen who were sitting patted the table to express their approval in their hearts.

No matter how stupid people are, they all know that this too young commander has already planned it in his heart.

Then they just need to follow behind the commander and carry out his will.

"Master Clay, I'm going to prepare right now, please tell me where you plan to ambush!"

Sir Brynden stood up suddenly, his face was a little excited. In this legion, he was actually the one who was most anxious. After all, the owner of Riverrun was his own brother.

For this location, Clay had a different choice than Robb Stark.

The Whispering Forest is located in the west of Beauty Set, on the south bank of the Blue Fork River, a tributary of the Trident River, and in the north of Raventree City where they are located.

On the way here, they passed by the Whispering Forest. Indeed, it was a good place to lay an ambush. There was a river valley near the Whispering Forest. Because the northern exit was narrow, it was a semi-enclosed structure.

But there is a problem, this place is too far away from the battlefield of Riverrun City, more than 100 miles away.

What kind of concept is this? It takes cavalry to march at full speed for two days, day and night, to get there, and it is in the environment of the Great Plains.

In the riverland, where the rivers are densely covered, woods, swamps, and rivers will all slow down the marching speed of the cavalry.

In other words, it would take at least three or four days for Jaime Lannister to chase from Riverrun to the Whispering Forest Valley.

Whatever grievances or grievances, no matter how long the distance is, it is enough to go to Twin River City.

What if Clay was still waiting for Jaime Lannister in the Whispering Forest, and suddenly the Kingslayer felt that he had almost driven him away, so he turned around and went back?
You can't use your own cavalry as bait to go back and seduce the kingslayer, right?I'm Clay Manderly, not Cersei Lannister, less attractive to Kingslayer.

Therefore, to be on the safe side, Clay chose to go out to Raventree City, and set the battlefield ten miles south of Raventree City, a small valley named after a certain part of a woman by the locals of the Riverlands.

Clay changed the name to the Valley of the Virgins, otherwise people who knew it would understand that they were discussing an ambush plan, and they didn't know what kind of colorful things these unscrupulous nobles were talking about.

Clay personally led people to reconnaissance there. How should I put it, as soon as he entered that place, Clay thought of the location where his caravan was raided in the north of the Twin River City, but the terrain was enlarged a lot.

"Right here, Sir Brynden, after you lead out the Lannister cavalry, keep your horse speed and try to pass here in the evening or at night."

Clay pointed to the location on the map and said very seriously.

Sir Brynden glanced at that position, thought for a while, his eyes lit up, and he already understood what Clay meant.

These days, there are no such things as flares, leading the Lannister cavalry to run for a whole day, let them pass here when they are exhausted, and then attack suddenly by themselves.

The black lights and blind fire will undoubtedly aggravate the fear of these Lannisters. In Clay's view, there are only 5000 people on his side, and one less death is one. As for the Lannister army, it will be clean only after all of them die.

"Everyone, this is our first real battle against the kingslayers. We have to let these people know how powerful we are from the north."

Clay assigned his deployment to each nobleman present, condescending, waiting for work at ease, and suddenly attacked in the dark.

1000 of the 4000 cavalry will block the entrance and exit, and the remaining will carry out a perfect killing in the dark.

"Let Lannister understand that their winter has arrived..."
