Chapter 124

The horn of the charge blew, and the two cavalry that had penetrated to the south bank of the Tengshi River launched an attack at the same time with a tacit understanding.

The sudden sound of horseshoes startled the birds resting on the branches, and they fluttered away from this land that was about to become a battlefield of blood and fire.

Since the land on the south side of Riverrun was completely unobstructed, and the huge flat plain, the northern cavalry had already increased their horse speed to the maximum when they charged towards the Lannister camp.

The whole army gave up the heavy cavalry. This kind of weapon used in the duel between knights and knights is useless in this kind of camp attack.

All members of the Northern Legion drew out their long swords, waved, yelled, and shouted the slogans of Clay or the Northern Territory, and rushed towards the unprepared Lannister barracks from all directions.

They came too fast. From the moment they entered the attack position, all Lannister soldiers who were about to flee back to the barracks to report, no matter who you are, all became the ghosts of the vanguard army.

Therefore, when the flag of the northern border appeared before the eyes of the left-behind nobles of the western border who left their tents in a hurry, they didn't even know the news. It was the Earl of Scourge who had experienced battles and sensed something was wrong from the vibration of the earth.

A shrill roar resounded through the Lannister southeast camp.

"Enemy attack!"

However, it was too late.

Since the original purpose of the three Lannister camps was to besiege Riverrun, all the fortifications were built in response to Riverrun.

In the other three directions of the camp, there is only a thin defense against horses, and no trenches have even been dug.

The Lannisters never seemed to think that someone would attack them from this direction, and it was still a huge cavalry group.

When the nobles of the western region saw clearly the row of cavalry from the northern region, they closed their eyes in pain, because no matter how stupid they were, they would understand that the situation was over!
Before the war started, the ending was already understood, because it was destined.

……

"Charge! After rushing into the camp, don't get entangled with the infantry, break their resistance as soon as possible. Within half an hour, I want you to use your horseshoes to overturn their central tent!"

Leading the elite cavalry to charge forward, Earl Hornwood still echoed Clay's strict order before the attack began, and his tone was so serious that he had never seen it before.

Contrary to the last time, this commander did not seek to kill first. His first goal was to use the iron hooves of the northern border to completely smash the Lannister camp's will to resist.

The impact force of the cavalry would make the four thousand Lannister army into a mess and completely lose their organization, and the infantry who lost their organization and could not form an formation were lambs waiting to be slaughtered in front of the cavalry.

Of course, Clay wanted to wipe out the ten thousand infantry, but in his heart, the designated battlefield was not limited to here. The vast territory from Riverrun City to Golden Tooth City was a battlefield for life and death.

He said that the elite iron cavalry led by him, with just one charge, smashed dozens of Lannister's hastily organized infantry phalanx into pieces.

The time they chose to attack was in the afternoon, when they were drowsy after lunch.

On the way to charge, you should kill the general and capture the flag. Since there are no generals here, then capture the flag!
The Lannister soldiers got out of the tent in disheveled clothes. Before they knew what happened, the long sword had cut their bodies.

The splattered blood sprayed into the sky, before the blood hit the ground, the person had already fallen into the mud, leaving only the dull and weird sound of the sword cutting through the human body.

With the speed of his horse, Clay easily slit the throat of a trembling Lannister soldier with trembling legs, like a swimming snake with his sword tip.

They had already rushed to the middle of the huge camp, advancing very smoothly, no one could stop the violent attack of this cavalry.

To be precise, the Lannister camp that was hit by the attack was completely in chaos. The long swords in the north did not kill many people, but fear drove them to flee in all directions. More soldiers died at their own feet than were killed by the North. Killed by the aliens.

"My lord, these Lannisters are all messed up. I think we can smash this camp in 10 minutes at most!"

Chris, who was beside him, said excitedly that they fought all the way in, and thought it was a fierce battle. After all, the battlefield was at Lannister's house. I didn't expect these people to behave like that even though they had a big camp to defend. Two thousand cavalry are not as good.

Chris didn't see even the slightest bit of courage to resist on the faces of any Lannister soldier. Apart from fear, the faces of those people were also fear, fear of death.

"Don't take it lightly, have you seen the big flag? Chrissen, Lannister's camp is there. I bet we may encounter some resistance there. Remember, nothing can be done, Kun Enfayin will save your life."

Clay looked at the Lannister roaring lion flag waving in the wind on the flagpole not far away, and guessed in his heart that it must be the core of the Lannister southeast camp, and the resistance there would be completely smashed, and the victory in the southeast Negative, there is no suspense.

"Charge! Whoever cuts down the Lannister banner, I will reward him with five hundred golden dragons!"

These words became the most effective catalyst for the charge. The strong purchasing power of the Golden Dragon made the hearts of these ordinary soldiers in the northern border all heated up. To cut down the banner and return to the north alive, for an ordinary farmer, it would not be necessary in this life. Worry about eating and drinking.

The cavalry continued to charge after their commander, and after passing a row of smaller tents, Clay and his cavalry saw a row of cold lights.

That is the reflection of the armor in the sun.

Two full rows of Lannister troops, with their helmets and armor on, were fully armed, and they clenched their weapons and aimed at the enemies who were charging towards them.

The outermost row is a row of sword and shield fighters with distinctive armor. At this time, they put their long iron shields on the ground and leaned close together, using their bodies to withstand the shields. dagger.

In the back row is a sharp iron spear with a height of one person. This is the strongest weapon to prevent the cavalry from advancing. As long as it is a living thing, it will be afraid of death. Facing the dense spear points, it will instinctively retreat.

"Ready to meet the enemy, spear point outward!"

The hoarse shouts made these Lannister soldiers even more nervous.

Clay could see clearly that the man giving the orders was wearing expensive armor and cape, and his coat of arms was not a roaring lion.

From the looks of it, this is another noble from the western region. Clay didn't recognize which family he belonged to for the time being, but he didn't care, and he will figure it out later.

This person is still quite clear-headed, knowing that if he leaves the army and escapes alone, the probability of being caught is higher than those who stay and resist. Clay's entire force is cavalry. As a pampered nobleman, who can he escape?

However, it is a bit too taken for granted to rely on the defense line composed of people in front of us to stop us. How could Clay allow him to do so?
Well, let me show you what a real cavalry attack is!
The cavalry in Clay's hands are all baby bumps, so it is natural for him to take as little damage as possible. Therefore, he brought three hundred plate armored cavalry from the Mandalay family with him for this front-end task.

These heavy cavalry armed to the teeth, the most powerful thing is the group charge launched against the infantry. Due to the rush of time and the complicated battle situation, Clay did not let his heavy cavalry line up for the wall charge attack.

But even so, the heavy cavalry group rushing in was not something that Lannister, a weak line of defense, could resist.

Between two breaths, the first group of soldiers had already slammed into it. Immediately, only people fell back, and no horses turned over.

The powerful impact directly caused Lannister's sword and shield soldiers to fly, and the psychological comfort brought by that iron shield was far greater than the protective effect in actual combat.

As soon as the war horse rushed past, the following soldiers rushed in through the gap they opened, and continued to tear the line of defense, causing the Lannister's thin front to continue to bleed.

Generally speaking, the army of this era has no special accidental factors. If the loss is close to 20.00%, the morale of the army will collapse. Although the Lannister army is well-equipped, it obviously still has not escaped this law.

Some people began to run away, throwing down the only weapon that could defend themselves, screaming and fleeing to the rear of the front line. The absence caused by their escape created more gaps in the front line and accelerated the arrival of the total collapse.

After holding on for 10 minutes, the Lannister army staying in the central military tent finally ushered in their doomsday. They screamed and ran away, but how could two-legged infantry run better than four-legged war horses?

They were caught up one by one on the way to escape, and the long sword killed them from behind. The bright red blood flowed wantonly, turning the already muddy land into blood-colored mud.

After the last round of charge, Clay's heavy armored cavalry, after paying the lives of five White Harbor children, wiped out all the defense lines outside the central army's tent in the southeastern camp of Lannister.

"Lord Clay, Earl Hornwood has sent a message that he has penetrated the Lannister camp from both flanks, and the cavalry under his command have regrouped on the west side of the camp, near the Red Fork River."

Like a blood gourd, Krissen led a northern cavalryman who was also drenched in blood to Clay's horse and reported the situation of the battle.

"Currently, almost all the Lannister troops in the southeast battalion have been driven to the west by our army. When Lord Clay conquers the central camp, all the Lannisters can be driven to the Red Fork River."

Clay nodded. The plan went well. The northern cavalry surrounded and attacked from the southeast, and the encirclement in the northwest relied on the two raging rivers.

Clay didn't mind these Lannisters who were about to be driven to the river, and went down to experience the rapids of the river for themselves.

If they survived the rush of the river, Clay wouldn't mind letting them go.

Unfortunately, Lannister soldiers are human too, and the laws of physics still stubbornly apply to them.

Nodding, Clay ordered the orderly:
"Go back and tell Lord Horwood to let him carry out the plan firmly and tie the hole firmly for me. He doesn't have to worry about my side. Within 15 minutes, my flag will appear on the east bank of the Red Fork River."

"Yes, my lord!"

The orderly cheered up, let out a roar, and took the order away. Clay watched him leave, and then looked at the central tent in front of him:

"Let's go, go and see how many big fish we have caught in this net. There are not two counts. I'm sorry for my busy work!"
