Quanyou: I loaded the Demon Hunter system

Chapter 125 One against two, the river is ruthless

In front of Clay's war horse, there were a few gorgeously dressed people kneeling. They lowered their heads and could only see the hooves of Clay's war horse.

It's not that they don't want to raise their heads, the blood-dripping sword resting on their necks makes them have to lower their noble heads.

Clay stared at the family symbols on these people that could prove their identity, and carefully identified them in his mind.

"Hmm... The Brax family, the Westerling family, the Bamfort family, the *** family... Yes, it seems that you are all famous figures in the West, and I already know who you are."

Clay nodded to the guards pressing them down, indicating that they could let the adults go.

As soon as they let go, these people immediately raised their heads in unison, and their eyes fell on Clay's face.

who is he?This is the question they all want to know.

Everything that happened just now was like a dream to them. These cavalrymen who seemed to have fallen from the sky suddenly rushed towards the unsuspecting camp.

The army of 4000 people will collapse in a blink of an eye.

Even the nobles like them have become prisoners of this mysterious attacker before they can escape.

"Who are you, at least I want to know who I lost to?"

Andros Brax, the lord of Horn Valley City, said a little excitedly that his face was cut open, and he should have resisted just now, but unfortunately, it was useless.

Facing his yelling, Clay ignored him at all. As captives, they didn't need to know so much. He put away the smile on his face, stared at these western noble captives with eyes like looking at goods, and said coldly:

"I am honored to inform you that from today onwards, you are my captives. Later, you and your commander, Jaime Lannister, will be imprisoned in the dungeon of Riverrun, waiting for your family to come up with Enough ransom to get you back."

"Of course, if someone can tell me where Edmure Tully is, I will consider making his dungeon life relatively comfortable."

Clay broke through the central tent of the Lannister southeast camp, searched for a long time, but did not see Edmure Tully.

At any rate, his soldiers recognized the trout crest of the Tully family, so they shouldn't kill Edmure as a Lannister.

Tsk, it will be difficult if you can't find Edmure Tully. Duke Hoster Tully is such a precious son. If he is lost or dies, who will inherit the land of the river?

……

"My lord, cavalry!"

When Clay launched a surprise attack, the soldiers at the head of Riverrun City also informed the commander of the Riverland army, Earl Tytos Blackwood, who was resting in the city, of this extremely magical news.

"Cavalry, what cavalry? You speak clearly!"

Seeing the soldiers rushing up and out of breath, the Earl who had just dropped the bowl frowned. He also heard the horn just now, but he thought it was Lannister who was about to attack the city.

The soldier took a breath and immediately reported:
"My lord, just now, a large group of cavalry suddenly appeared outside the city, and they are violently attacking the Lannister camp from east and west. Look at the flag, they are from the north."

Upon hearing this, Lord Tytos Blackwood's eyes widened. He immediately dropped the rations in his hand, and walked towards the city wall of Riverrun at a brisk pace.

When he arrived at the top of the city, before he saw the situation outside the city, he heard the shouts and cheers of the soldiers stationed in Riverrun City.

"My lord, come and see, Lannister is finished!"

"That's right, they are unprepared. I can see that they will be killed within an hour at most!"

The soldiers were discussing excitedly. Obviously, they had a clearer view of the entire battle situation on the city wall. The rampage of the northern cavalry in the Lannister camp made them vent their anger at being besieged for so long.

As a commander, Earl Blackwood was not as hasty as the soldiers, he had to see the situation clearly before he could draw a conclusion.

But when he glanced at the battlefield below the city, he knew that the soldiers were right.

Lannister, it's over!

Standing in his position, he could clearly see that the two northern cavalry, like two huge war hammers, had crushed the two Lannister camps from east to west.

These cavalry were very smart, and they didn't slow down their horses in order to kill people when they attacked. They just killed a small number of people, and more Lannister routs were driven by them, and they were driven to both sides of the Red Fork River from two directions.

As the commander of the army who had led the Riverrun army to resist until now, the earl, who was also considered a battle-hardened man, immediately knew what the commanders of the two cavalry were going to do.

This is to drive all these Lannisters down the river. Going down the river at this time has no other ending except death. As a native of the river, he is too aware of the cruelty of the Red Fork River.

At this moment, a soldier rushed over and reported the latest news on the battlefield to him:
"My lord, the Lannister army on the north bank of the Tengshi River has not been attacked by cavalry. They are now organizing and preparing to cross the transition to support the battlefield here."

Although Earl Blackwood didn't know why the commander of the northern cavalry group specifically spared the Lannister barracks on the north bank, no matter how stupid he was, he also understood that at this time, it was only right to stop these reinforcements and protect the flanks of the northern cavalry. is the only option.

No nonsense, the commander of Hejian made a decisive decision and issued an order:

"Pass my order, open the drawbridge on the north bank, and leave the city with the whole army, try our best to hold back the Lannister army outside the city, and buy enough time for our friends in the north!"

At this time, the army in Hejian also knew that Lannister in the south was defeated. They all regained the courage lost by Lannister, and rushed out of the north gate of Riverrun City screaming, and the Lannister outside the city Army entangled together.

It is unrealistic to expect them to defeat the Lannisters head-on, but it is still possible to stop them and prevent them from fully reinforcing the battlefield in the south.

At this time, the messenger sent by Clay also arrived.

His intentions coincided with those of Lord Tytos Blackwood, but he asked Lord Blackwood to keep more than 3000 people on the North Shore there as much as possible.

When I finished cleaning up the five or six thousand Lannister routs in my encirclement, if I had the chance, I would also scoop up the 3000 people on the north bank.

want to run?There are no doors!
After Clay captured these prominent Western nobles, his horseshoes did not stop. Instead, he took the elite cavalry of the Manderly family, stepped on the banner of the Lannister Chinese Army that was lying in blood, and continued to fight westward. go.

Now, the encirclement of Lannister's southeast camp has not been completely closed, and the troops forming a pincer offensive on both sides have completed their missions, and they are waiting for their troops to push the front to the east bank of the Green Fork River.

"Continue to attack, don't give the Lannister army any room to breathe, there must be no Lannister soldiers where our horses' hooves step."

The soldiers faithfully carried out this order, and the sound of rumbling horseshoes continued. Amidst the terrified screams and wailing of these westerners begging for mercy, the northern soldiers drove them away expressionlessly.

The instinct to stay away from fear and death made them escape to the west with the greatest courage in their lives. The cavalry in the north did not pursue them, but these fugitives forgot that in front of them, there was an unbroken Red Fork River .

The attack on Clay's side went smoothly, and in the southwest direction, the more than 2000 troops led by the two earls also attacked like a broken bamboo.

He was very aware of his attacking ability, so Clay allocated nearly 3000 people to these two. Even if their command ability was lacking, the number was enough to make up for the gap.

The number was almost one to one, and with the sudden attack, they were even faster than Clay's attack. The flags of the two earl families had already appeared on the other side of the river before Clay reached the east bank of the Red Fork River.

When Clay's cavalry completely broke through the last line of defense of the Lannister camp, all the Lannister remnants in the southeastern camp were driven out of the camp and fled towards the Red Fork River.

This also means that at least 1 of the 6000 people in Clay's dumpling wrappers have been wrapped, and the remaining people are less than 1000. Because of this kind of large open plain, when the Lannister just attacked, the Lannister army was scattered. Running away, leaking a part, is really powerless.

After all, this is to use 5000 people to force 1 people. It is a good strategy to be able to surround them.

The iron cavalry in the north lined up in a thin line, forming a huge encirclement.

And the center of the encirclement was the remaining five or six thousand Lannisters, who had thrown away their helmets and armor, were unarmed, and showed panic or despair.

The northern cavalry all showed their own flags, the direwolf flag, the iron fist flag, the mermaid flag, the winter sun flag...

The appearance of each banner made the fear of these defeated Lannisters deepen.

An hour ago, they were still imagining the wonderful life after they invaded Riverrun, eating barbecue with meat in hand.

Unexpectedly, the sky suddenly fell apart, the enemy who did not know where they came from, tore open the throats of their comrades-in-arms with their long swords, and crushed their breastbones with horseshoes.

From the sweetest dream to the bottom of the seven hells, just an hour's turn of events.

The soldiers huddled together in a daze, their teeth chattering up and down, and some of them were more lucid, already aware of their current situation.

They gritted their teeth, feeling great fear and insecurity, took off the heavy armor on their bodies, and tried to walk into the raging Red Fork River.

They already understood that on land, today is a dead end no matter what, and going down the river seems to be their only chance of survival.

This kind of behavior attracted the attention of others, so the blind obedience began to contagious, and many people followed their example and began to walk towards the water step by step.

Some people even forgot to take off their armor in fear, and just walked towards the river step by step, as if that was the only safe place.

But is that really the case?

The northern cavalry who witnessed this scene had no intention of launching an offensive, and just stared at everything in front of them coldly.

If you die by the force of nature, then let them go. The blood on the sword is so red today that it cannot be washed away. Their lives depend on the will of the gods...

This is the last mercy and pity, each of them knows that they have absolutely no reason to release these people, and it is even impossible to capture them.

They are not nobles, and have no exchange value. They are captured here, and their only ending is to work until they die of exhaustion under the brutal control of the lord of the river land who hates them to the bone.

Rather than that, it would be better to die cleanly like this, and suffer less.
