Game of Thrones: I loaded the witcher system.

Chapter 222 Young man, you lied to me!

"Who said I was going to fight them? Lord Karstark, I never underestimate my opponents. After all, it means that I also underestimate myself. I think you know what I mean."

Clay gave Rickard Karstark a strange look, and said in a strange tone.

Earl Rickard Karstark was a little dazed. He didn't quite understand what Clay meant, and Clay didn't explain that much to him. He is not needed at this stage, and he will have to wait until Clay crosses the Red Fork River again. Besides.

"Lord Earl, your task now is to heal your injury as soon as possible. Since you want revenge, you can't even ride a horse if you don't have the strength."

Clay said lightly that he would not say anything more to Rickard Karstak, he had to hurry up.

The army headed west, and after walking a considerable distance, it immediately turned around and headed south. ,
The reason for the distance to the west is that Clay wanted to ensure that he would not run into the valley man who was walking like a turtle crawling in Clay's eyes.

Through the confession of the prisoners these days, he already knew that the person chasing him was Jon Royce of Runestone City. This old boy has always been enthusiastic about participating in the war in the valley. Doves in business are two extremes.

In the previous raid, apart from Littlefinger giving him this opportunity, it might not have been the result of his promotion. If the whole valley didn't want to fight, it would be useless even if Littlefinger held Robert Arryn hostage.

……

A day and a half after Clay left the Beauty Collection, Jon Royce, who realized something was wrong, arrived late. When the scout troops suffered heavy casualties, his team became blind on the battlefield, and every step he took had to be cautious .

Although there are plains as far as the eye can see, there are still low hills and dense forests. From the perspective of Jon Royce and his subordinates, every forest may hide ambushes, because it would be them , they will do it.

Therefore, wherever he went, Jon Royce could only send someone in to check carefully, and only after he found it safe, would he leave at a faster speed. He wanted to give up this kind of foolish pursuit countless times, but in the end give up.

The reason is very simple. If he lets go of these 2000 people (in his own opinion), according to his analysis of Clay Mandalay, this young man will not talk about martial arts, and go northward to attack the army led by Count Leonor. troops.

Ravens are suitable for point-to-point communication. For two mobile cavalry units on the battlefield, it is impossible to give an early warning. Unprepared Leonor, the fun will be great.

As long as the 2000 men in Earl Leonor's hands are defeated, and he loses the trace of Clay, he spreads out the map of Hejian, and everyone knows that Clay Manderly's troops will roam around from then on. The sea, no one knows where it is.

Leaving aside what kind of punishment he would suffer if he lost the battle, Jon Royce was confident that Littlefinger would not do anything to him, but the problem was that in this way, the situation of the battle would be completely ruined.

Again, there are only 1 of them. This is a very dangerous number. Now 5000 people are still stationed in the three eastern cities to watch over the people inside. They cannot be moved.

The remaining 2000 people of Leonor were defeated. Even if they could escape, it would have no effect on the overall situation of the battle.

Under such circumstances, he is expected to use three thousand cavalry to guard the entire Red Fork River from west to east, so as to ensure that Clay Manderly will not cross the river from any point?
What the hell are you kidding?
At this time, Eoin Royce had already faintly felt that the young man Clay Manderly, when he divided his troops at the Mummer's Beach Ferry, probably didn't run away in a hurry at all, but made up his mind to trick him, an old man. Comrade.

He was forcing himself to divide his troops, determined that his goal was to capture all of them. Therefore, this kid dared to divide his troops boldly. He led the largest troop with him on the narrow bank of the Blue Fork River and the Red Fork River. circle.

Although he was extremely annoyed in his heart, Jon Royce had to admit that this kid was a difficult opponent on the battlefield, and he was merciless in his strikes. If he hadn't concealed his whereabouts at all, he would have chased after him a long time ago. lost.

Before, Eon Royce heard that Jaime Lannister was annihilated by a small boy from the north leading an army of 5000 people, and he mocked the kingslayer in Runestone City, but now, he Some understanding of Jaime Lannister.

To some extent, they are still comrades-in-arms, and maybe they will have the opportunity to exchange experiences in the future.

"Let's go! Order the troops to speed up, don't spend any more time digging through those forests where no one is at all, I can see it, after this kid blinded us, it is sure that we will spend time on these broken forests .”

"I'm not as good as he wished! He suddenly ran away to the north. If anyone doesn't know that direction is the beauty market, and wants to cross the Blue Fork River, I don't believe you are so slippery!"

Jon Royce complained to his deputy, clamped his legs, and kicked the spurs to the belly of the horse under his crotch.

The war horse suffered from pain, and immediately galloped forward with all four hooves.

The owner of Runestone City felt a faint rage in his heart. He had seen the red dragon flag flying over King's Landing, participated in the War of the Usurper, and fought Baron Gray in Pike City with Robert. Joey.

It can be said that he has a wealth of experience in the battlefield, he has won and lost battles, and he claims to be the number one in the military in the entire valley.

They just defeated Robb Stark's army. Although it was a surprise attack without martial arts, the winner is king on the battlefield. They still won, and the [-] troops in the north scattered and fled.

However, right after that, he was deflated at the foot of the three cities east of Riverrun, bumping his head against the city wall and bleeding from his forehead.

Later, the current chase that made him feel ashamed occurred.

He felt that apart from the superior number and better equipment on his side, everything on the battlefield was in the hands of that young man he had never seen before, which made him extremely aggrieved.

He would rather have 3000 people in Clay Mandalay's hands, and have an upright duel with him, and the winner will be determined in one battle.

Like a girl from King's Landing like now, she is just posing in front of you, making you so angry that you want to pounce on him, but the other party keeps running slowly in front of you shaking her buttocks, just not letting you succeed.

Is this what an elderly person should bear?Do you really think that you are the archbishop of King's Landing, and you are not afraid of meat?

……

According to Clay's instructions, Kristen completed his task very well. As the person who personally cut off the rear and cleaned up the traces of Clay's large army leaving, he took people with him and never let go of any details.

This kid was so weak that 500 people crossed the river. Originally, according to Clay's intention, it was enough to put on a posture of 1000 people running northward, but this kid was so efficient that he actually organized two groups of 1000 people. Traces of running in the direction.

Sure enough, the effect was outstanding. When Jon Royce rushed to the beauty collection with his fastest speed, seeing everything in front of him, the blood pressure of the old earl was raised.

Veins burst out on his sweaty forehead, because he found that Clay Manderly was still playing this game with him.

He's divided up again!

Jon Royce kept cursing Wyman Mandalay in his heart, this old thing was not taught to his grandson, how can there be such a thing for fun, isn't this... to kill him, the poor old man? ?

Soon, the soldiers who explored the road brought back the news that the traces of 2000 people on the other side of the river were divided into two groups, one was heading northwest to the location of Twin River City, and the other was heading south to an unknown destination.

"Clay Manderly!"

With everything in front of him, Jon Royce felt that he would explode if he took another look.

It would be easier to drive Clay Manderly to the Twin Rivers, because that place is too far away from the main battlefield, and even if he makes any moves in the future, Jon Royce only needs to make some arrangements, and he will Know the news in advance and respond.

But now, this kid gave him another big problem.

All the way to the north, I went directly to Earl Leonor when the army was divided for the first time before, and this way to the south, if we find another ferry on the Green Fork River, this can directly poke the army in the valley I went to my heart.

Taking a few deep breaths of the icy cold air in late autumn, Jon Royce suddenly felt a slight chill on the top of his head.

Is it raining?

He looked up, only to find that in the gloomy sky, at some point, snowflakes had already fluttered one after another.

For some reason, he suddenly remembered the clan language of the Stark family:

"Winter is coming."

Involuntarily, he shuddered.
