Chapter 230 Dirty
The weather is already very cold. After the long summer that has lasted for more than ten years, this short autumn seems to be coming to its end soon.

Since Clay started to go north to the Great Wall, and went out of the fortress to eradicate the threat of wildlings, the temperature dropped sharply.

The Hejian Land, which had not had snowfall for more than ten years, first ushered in the cold wind from the north.

Moreover, this snowfall was not short-lived. Before Clay arrived at the Twin Rivers, the snowflakes began to fall, and when he was about to launch an attack on the barracks under Stone Ledge City, the snow still did not stop.

Some young lads under Clay have almost never seen snow. Even if they saw it a few times when they were young, they have long since forgotten it. Seeing the snow all over the sky now is as fresh as seeing the most bizarre scenery in the world.

As their commander, Clay couldn't give them extra time to appreciate the scene of late autumn, because soldiers are so expensive.

In the previous siege battles, the opponents were not completely wiped out, and a few escaped. After all, the escape ability of human beings must be greater than that of the chaser in some individuals.

Once these guys escape to the Stone Ledge City Camp, it only takes one day to convince the Stone Ledge City Camp to make adjustments, and this is exactly what Clay doesn't want to see.

Although they lost their horses, the combat effectiveness of these pseudo-infantry with little experience in positional warfare could not bear to be looked at directly, but the sacrifice caused by their procrastination was unnecessary.

Cavalrymen were babes to the Valeman, and even more babes to him, Clay Manderly.

Now Daenerys does not have the support of the Dothraki, and it is impossible for the horses of the Dornish to parachute to the north.

Therefore, on the northern battlefield, the cavalry that Clay can use is only 5000, which is not enough, far from enough.

This is why Clay wants to kill people and rob horses. With horses, he has the possibility to form a large-scale cavalry group. If there are no horses, do you expect his cavalry to fight on donkeys?
……

Krissen's movements were very fast, because his offensive was so fast that the horse herd in the center was not frightened at all. Under the leadership of some Hejian ground cavalry who were familiar with horses, a total of more than war horses were gathered.

They will be escorted by two hundred cavalrymen from Krissen, heading east along the deserted river road, entering the town of Earl Harroway, and then arranged by Sir Marlon Manderly, and finally sent to the Twins.

Clay left new recruits in the Twin River City. They will use this batch of horses for training, and quickly create a cavalry team that can be used all the time. Although the combat effectiveness of individual soldiers is not as good as that of veterans, as long as they dare to charge into the enemy's formation, they are enough.

The horse herd separated from Clay, and then it was time for Clay to perform.

As far as he was concerned, he also wanted to end the battle against the Valley people as soon as possible. After these guys were completely subdued, Clay, depending on the situation, would not plan to attack on a large scale if possible.

Because his troops need to change clothes to cope with the increasingly cold weather.

After a long summer, many soldiers did not prepare warm enough clothes at all. For example, the two thousand river cavalry who went out with Clay, each of them wore a thin liner that was dry in summer.

Putting on a piece of armor, and then putting on the burqa representing their respective families, this is all they wear.

And in this snowy weather, running at high speed on the horse, how cold it is, Clay is very clear.

Not long ago, the first case of non-combat attrition due to the cold appeared in the team. A young man suffered from a severe cold because he could not adapt to the suddenly cold weather.

As the cavalry continued to move, there was no way to effectively treat him. Moreover, there was no cure for a severe cold, so he could only rely on his own body to fight it.

But the gods did not favor this young Hejian boy. One morning after a few days of high fever, the comrades in charge of taking care of him sadly told Clay the news that he had returned to the embrace of the gods.

It's cruel, because of lack of clothes, and being killed because of a cold, and dying very uselessly, but this is the reality.

An army must not only fight against its own enemies, but also against the whole of nature. Those who can survive are the real elite, because those who cannot persist have become bones.

After fighting for so long, the entire northern border and the entire Hejian land need to rest and prepare for winter. Not only the army's re-equipment, but also the stockpiling of internal food, and the implementation of a series of policies will take time.

The war is going to continue, but after this battle is over, I'm afraid it will be a halftime break.

……

"Lord Clay, we have already found out the situation of the enemy's northern camp. There are not many people. According to direct visual inspection, there are about 400 people. It is estimated that there will be up to people staying behind. Moreover, it seems that the news of the defeat has already spread, and they seem very panicked."

The scouts brought the news, and as expected by Clay, the news really leaked this time.

This is impossible, the two places are too close, as long as the defeated soldiers are not road idiots, they can climb to the bottom of Shili City even if they have horses. No matter how fast Clay chases them, they are still one step too late.

But the problem is not big, opportunities are always reserved for those who are good at capturing them, and this time is no exception.

The scout then reported:
"While we were observing, the soldiers of the enemy's North Camp were trying their best to dig some shallow ravines on the ground on the northeast sides of the North Camp. According to my subordinates' guess, they should be tunnels to block our cavalry's attack."

"However, the craftsmanship of these valley people is obviously very rough, and they lack enough tools, so the efficiency is very low. When I observed them, they only dug a trench about half an arm deep, and it was only a short section."

"With the ability of the subordinates, as long as they observe in advance, whether it is to control the horse to cross over or to detour in advance, this problem can be avoided. Therefore, such a trench is useless at all."

"Also, the enemy camp on the west side seems to have no intention of sending troops to support them. They are also digging trenches. The number of people is obviously too large, but their efficiency is still difficult to be appreciated."

Clay waved his hand, indicating that the scouts could go down.

After fighting with him all the way, these Hejian scouts were trained by him, and what they observed were all very critical information.

However, he still doesn't have his own White Harbor cavalry to make things easier. After all, he is his own, so the feeling is different.

An interesting point is, why didn't the Western camp save the Peking camp?
Now that they know their location, they must be able to see clearly that the Peking University Camp must be the first target of their attack.

After all, no foolish commander would do such a stupid thing to leave the rear to the enemy.

Jon Royce was bewildered by this logic, so he was tricked by himself and couldn't find his way. He still doesn't know where he is.

But Clay really couldn't figure out whether it was a smart thing in the valley to not save the North Camp.

Although the stupider his enemies are, the better, but it's really incomprehensible for Clay to stand in a commanding perspective.

How should I put it...it's outrageous.

What is the situation now?

There were less than 2000 people in Shili City, or even less, and these guys were confiscated by Clay on their horses, so they could only serve as infantry.

What would happen if Beidaying was easily taken down by him?
Just look at the map.

To the west was Edmure Tully's -strong army, and to the north was Clay's covetous cavalry.

Without horses, they can't run at all, so...

The 1000 people from the Western Camp were sent out to dig soil on the ground just like the Peking Camp.

Is this digging your own grave?
So, this is what Clay can't understand. Yours is no longer outrageous, but super doubled, highlighting an eagerness to not want to live.

It can’t be like this to give away the head. Clay even examined himself for a long time, whether there is any fraud.

Thus, the unlucky Baron Royce Cowart could not escape Axi's face in the end.

But after the foolish Baron answered the question, Clay fell silent.

Because the baron didn't lie to him at all!

If we were ourselves, we would have to concentrate all our troops in the North Camp, and the West Camp would be out of the question.

Dumplings have already been made by others, and now they are used as fresh and tender dumpling fillings. Only by fighting hard and running in both directions with the menacing Jon Royce who is going south, in order to save face, can there be a chance of victory.

There is no way, the world is always dominated by idiots, and Clay doesn't know what's going on between the two camps.

But now that you've already settled your poses, if Clay doesn't draw out his long sword, I'll be sorry for your kindness.

did not say.

My cavalry, attack!
