Game of Thrones: I loaded the witcher system.

Chapter 292
Brynden Tully's more than 1000 cavalry rushed out from the west side of the battlefield. Their target was the 1000 men on the west side of the Western Territory Legion who were trying to encircle them.

There was a sound of hoofbeats. This cavalry, which was mainly composed of soldiers from the Tully family, had actually been regarded by Edmure Tully and Brynden Tully as the pillars of the family's force and refused to kill them all.

After all, although the Riverland is richer than the northern border, the cavalry is still extremely expensive. In the previous battle, if they were not forced by Clay, they would not have sent them to fight Lannister.

After they launched the attack, Clay kept a close eye on every change that took place on the battlefield. He didn't believe that the old lion would still stand still.

As long as these more than 1000 cavalry are in place, it is equivalent to forming a unique encirclement circle with the 1000 men of the Western Frontier Army in the west with Earl William Mutton inside.

The encirclement circle composed of more than 1000 cavalry and the infantry inside was in a situation of double-teaming from east to west.

Before William Mooton's main force is defeated, if these 1000 people are defeated, then Tywin Lannister will lose this round, because next, Clay will command the rest of the people, and in turn pack His dumplings are gone.

Sure enough, Tywin Lannister did not disappoint Clay. Less than 10 minutes after Brynden Tully entered the battlefield, a group of cavalry appeared indistinctly in the dense forest on both sides of the battlefield.

There was another melodious and dull attack horn, and the first to rush out was the Lannister Cavalry Legion on the west side.

Duke Tywin is a rich man. Except for those who add some cavalry in the valley, he has the most cavalry in the entire Seven Kingdoms. Therefore, it is not a problem for him to deploy another [-] cavalry on both sides of the battlefield. .

The cavalry on the east side did not attack the main battlefield, which was in full swing, but circled to the north side, because the outermost part of the east side was their own army, and they were not light cavalry, so they could not projectile.

Therefore, they chose to seal the opening on the north side of William Mooton's army, hoping to swallow the besieged Hejian army as soon as possible.

But how could Clay make it easy for him?
With an order, the [-] infantrymen of the central army, carrying heavy shields and spears to deal with the cavalry, immediately began to press towards the Lannister cavalry who had circled to the north.

The battlefield is transparent, and Clay's deployment can't be hidden from Tywin's eyes. Now both sides are fighting for time.

Therefore, the cavalry who detoured to the north, and the cavalry who were going to attack Brynden Tully, let go of their opponents for the time being, and launched an attack on Clay, the three thousand infantry who had come.

Of course Clay guessed this. In fact, the previous [-] infantry plus Brynden Tully's cavalry formed a large group of bait. The army is for the cavalry to fight.

He himself is good at using cavalry, of course he knows what the advantages and disadvantages of this unit are.

The reason why a cavalry is a cavalry is that it must first have a horse.

On the battlefield, a running horse is called a horse.

Therefore, once the cavalry lost their speed and fell into the siege of the infantry, the cavalry would not have that threat.

"Send the order, raise the shield, and all ministries are ready for the impact!"

In this era, the transmission of orders on the battlefield depends on various drums in addition to horns.

Inefficient, but it works anyway.

Soon, the collision between the two sides began. The cavalry tried to attack the shield formed by Clay. After paying a certain amount of casualties, they still broke through the first line of defense.

But this was not fatal, because the main force of Clay's [-] Chinese army laid down four layers of defense for Lannister's cavalry to attack.

There are the most people on the outer layer, and the number of people decreases as you go in, decreasing layer by layer.

As long as some cavalry are put in, the opened gap will try to close the gap as much as possible, cutting off the follow-up Lannister cavalry.

As for rushing in.

Leave it to your spearmen.

……

The fighting outside the city was in full swing, and the inside of the city did not abate at all.

Ser Gregor Clegane the "Magic Mountain" has come a long way in his journey to the tower.

On the battlefield of a large army, individual bravery does not play much role, but in the passage of the tower of the Burning King Tower of Harrenhal, the "Magic Mountain" covered in blood is an out-and-out giant. Killer.

No one could get through a few rounds under his mighty greatsword. Either the weapon was cut off, the jaws were broken like Theon Greyjoy, or he was directly injured by the sword, or even died on the spot.

The passage is narrow, and there is no room for the longbow to play. Even some hand crossbows cannot cause fatal damage to him after breaking through the heavy iron armor of the "Magic Mountain", but instead aroused his ferocity.

Northern soldiers are human too, and they can be afraid.

And fear is contagious.

If it weren't for them, there is no way to retreat now.

Now they have been scattered under the attack of "Magic Mountain".

However, they were still retreating steadily, and they were not far from the floor of the lord's room where Robb Stark was.

Bad news kept coming, and the nobles in the northern border knew that they could no longer engage in meaningless quarrels and had to make a decision.

"I propose to take His Majesty to transfer immediately!"

someone said.

"Your Majesty's body, can it last?"

Someone immediately refuted.

The two immediately argued again, and then were interrupted by a scolding full of exhaustion.

"Okay, shut up!"

It was Jon Umber's voice.

Finally, the Earl of Hearth City stood up, tightened his thick clothes, and said in a low voice:

"Stop arguing, it's useless."

He glanced at everyone present, the expression on his face was full of unwillingness and helplessness.

"Take Your Majesty away, if it is really on the road, and your Majesty went down to meet the Seven Gods, then at least he died beside our own people, instead of being captured by Lannister and taken to the smelly lion's den , when he left, he didn't even have the last decency."

"I will bear this responsibility. If something happens, my title will be inherited by my son. After I go back, I will kneel under the Heart Tree in the Godswood of Winterfell and confess to Lord Ed. "

After speaking, the Earl of Last Hearth City with sunken eyes left the meeting room first.

Of all the northern nobles present, he has the highest title and the last prestige, so this final decision can only be made by him.

The others in the meeting room looked at each other and sighed.

Let the Earl of Hearth City bear this responsibility alone. Although they were relieved in their hearts, they still felt uncomfortable.

But right now, life-saving is the most important thing, and I don't care so much.

So, soon, Rob Stark, who was already breathing very weakly, was carried into a makeshift stretcher, covered with a thick blanket, and brought out of his room.

The most elite guards led him carefully up the stone bridge between the Burning King Tower and the Widow's Tower.

Because "Black Heart" Harren built Harrenhal, the project volume seriously exceeded the standard, which led to the very high position of this connected stone bridge.

When Harrenhal was built, there were still stone walls on both sides of the stone bridge that could block the wind.

But these hundreds of miles of wind and rain, these stone walls have basically collapsed.

It was still snowing heavily, and a thin layer of ice had formed on the smooth stone bridge, which made the four guards carrying Rob Stark walk more carefully.

Although it is said that in most cases, it is necessary to be careful when sailing for thousands of years, but there are always exceptions to everything.

Halfway through, a violent cross wind suddenly blew in.

The soldier on the left front slipped, and his body immediately tilted outwards.

He instinctively grabs whatever he can.

Like Robb Stark's stretcher.

However, he caught a void.

When I slipped and fell, I let go subconsciously, but now I want to catch it again in a panic, but it is even more difficult.

Then, this unlucky guy fell directly from the left side of the stone bridge, let out a long scream in the air, and then smashed hard to the ground.

I can't bear to describe that scene.

When he fell, Rob Stark didn't fall directly, but he still fell out of the stretcher that suddenly tipped over.

Rolled on the icy ground, and was not awakened by the cold wind.

When the soldiers hurriedly carried their king from the ground back to the stretcher, they could already hear the sound of fighting in the King Burning Tower behind them.

Obviously, "Magic Mountain" has already caught up with their delay.

"Come on!"

Jon Umber roared.

If they were caught up by the Western Territory army on this stone bridge, and His Majesty Robb Stark was in a hurry, just like the guy just now, these vassals, one or two, all knelt under the heart tree and committed suicide.

The group raised 12 points carefully, increased their speed as much as possible, and brought Robb Stark to the Widow's Tower successfully.

Fortunately, the Widow's Tower was still under the control of the Northern Army, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they finally returned to the ground.

However, as soon as they breathed out, and before they could breathe in again, they realized that they seemed to have been discovered by the nearby Western Territory army.

This is a big deal!
They are a group of big nobles, all of them are well-dressed, even if they are more rudimentary, they are very different from ordinary soldiers.

Therefore, without anyone's identification, the soldiers in the western region immediately realized that the group of people in front of them were all big fish.

If one can be caught, then this time, the military exploits of these soldiers in the western region will not be able to escape.

Back in their poor homes, with this feat, one or two of them can stand up as serfs and sing.

Seeing this group of nobles from the north, the soldiers from the west region all turned red-eyed. It was unknown who shouted first, and they all brandished their weapons and rushed towards Jon Amber and his party.

"Quick! Take Your Majesty first!"

Jon Umber pushes Theon Greyjoy.

He has decided that if he wants to delay enough time for Rob Stark here today, he has fulfilled his obligations to the Stark family as a vassal.

As for the latter, even if he surrendered, no one would blame him.

"Come on! Cubs of the West!"

Pulling out his steel sword, Jon Amber, who was just about to fight fiercely, suddenly found that the Western Territory army rushing towards them suddenly stopped in their tracks.

Everyone had incredible expressions on their faces, uniform and staring blankly at the sky.

It seems that there is something on it.

Then Jon Umber knew why they were behaving this way, for he heard a loud flapping of wings.

……

Galesoth reached the skies over Harrenhal before Drogon, driven by Daenerys.

At first, it just wanted to come to play with Clay, but after sensing it according to the magic power in its body, it found that its master should be a little busy now.

It hovered in the clouds for a while, but finally decided to fly down to find Clay.

However, it doesn't know what kind of variables its own appearance will bring to the current battle situation.

Of course Clay knew that Gelesos was coming.

After all, it was his dragon, and it was strange that he didn't know it.

Therefore, he decided to quickly finish the battle in front of him.

Anyway, since Gelesos was about to arrive, Clay's mentality suddenly relaxed a lot.

Originally, with [-] reinforcements about to arrive on the battlefield, he wouldn't be afraid of Tai Wen's army. Now that the dragon came, he didn't care much.

Seemingly feeling it, Clay was the first to react when Gelesos rushed down from the clouds.

……

"Master Clay...is that...a dragon?"

After finally controlling the anxious war horse, Edmure Tully's lips trembled, and his dark blue eyes fixed on the huge blue-gold figure soaring in the sky.

The size of this dragon is much bigger than he imagined.

The dragon's wings blocked the sunlight in the sky and cast a large shadow on the entire battlefield.

As he flew over Clay's head, Clay realized that he could feel Galesos' thoughts again.

The guy looked fatter than ever, and Daenerys seemed to be feeding him well.

Clay looked at the giant dragon full of joy, and thought to himself.

He glanced at Edmure Tully, who had a very ugly face beside him, and the disdain in his heart became stronger, but he said:
"Yes, that's the dragon."

His tone was calm, which was completely different from Edmure Tully's almost epileptic appearance.

"Then...it...what is it here for?"

"Who knows? Anyway, didn't your Tully family fight with the dragon in the last battle of Liaoyuan? I don't think it should be a big deal."

"what……"

Edmure Tully almost suspected that he had heard it wrong. He stared blankly at the calm and composed Clay Manderly in front of him, and felt an increasingly strange feeling in him for no reason.

Clay's rage just now reminded him.

In his opinion, the dragon belongs to Targaryen, and Targaryen is bound to be full of hatred for Lannister. Therefore, on his side, maybe it really isn't the dragon's first target.

Anyway, Tywin Lannister must be much more anxious than himself now.

He actually thought well, because the first time Tywin Lannister saw the dragon, the first reaction in his mind was to run away.

Back then, during the Battle of the Burning Fire, his Lannister ancestor, the original King of Casterly Rock, was almost burned to death on the battlefield by the dragon flames of Aegon Targaryen and his two queens.

That war was the only time during the entire war of conquest that the three giant dragons of Balerion, Meraxes, and Vagarhar appeared on the battlefield at the same time.

After winning this battle, it basically announced the complete end of the original rule of the King of the Seven Kingdoms in Westeros. The surrender of the King of the North, Toren Stark, which happened at the Kneeling Stack, was rooted in this A brutal war that burned thousands of people.

It can be said that the Lannister family has a criminal record when it comes to facing the dragon.

Therefore, for the sake of his own safety, the old lion's first reaction was to run away.

……

Gelesos flew several times in the sky, and the roar of the giant dragon spread all over the place. A second ago, it was a life-and-death struggle, but now it fell into a deathly quiet battlefield.

It was as if the pause button was pressed, and the sword that was about to stab the opponent's waist stopped. Some two hundred and five did not forget to remind the opponent who was red-eyed to look at the sky first.

The suppression from the bloodline made the galloping cavalry either stop or turn their backs on their backs.

Without him, all the horses were shocked.

This is the coercion of the dragon!

Originally, this battle has been fought until now, and the two sides are in an inseparable situation. The more than 2000 people of Earl William Mooton are facing Tywin's [-] army, attacking from three directions, and they are gritting their teeth to support.

On the front, Old Lion's cavalry desperately blocked the attack launched by Clay's [-] Chinese Army, and the price they paid was quite heavy.

It can be said that it is difficult to see the outcome of both sides without fighting to the end.

However, as soon as Gelesos appeared, the battle obviously became anticlimactic and could not be fought anymore.

Clay looked at Gelesos who was struggling to find him, smiled, and sent an Axii sign to the restless war horse under his crotch, making the latter quiet down.

Then, driving it, it slowly walked towards an open space on the northwest side of the battlefield.

Now that Gelesos had appeared, there was no reason for him, Clay Manderly, to ride a horse.

Anyway, sooner or later he will stand in front of the Seven Kingdoms. Now that the matter has come to this point, there is no need for Clay to hide it.

Almost all of them had been immobilized, and Clay walked out in a leisurely manner at this time, which seemed very unique.

Many people noticed him, but no one knew what he was up to.

"Clay Manderly, what is he going to do?"

Count Vance couldn't help asking aloud.

But no one present could answer his question, because they also wanted to know the answer to this question.

After all, Clay Mandalay, as the commander of the army, just left his command position and walked to an open space outside the army formation.

However, in the next second, something happened that made everyone's jaws fall to the ground.

After seeing Clay Manderly alone, the blue-gold dragon uttered a cheerful dragon cry, flapped its wings twice, and landed steadily on the open space where Clay was. .

People who saw this scene couldn't help feeling absurd in their hearts:

This giant dragon, couldn't really come to find their commander, could it?

How can this be? !
Clay didn't care what they thought, he looked at the fat guy in front of him who was already a circle bigger than when he left last time, and smiled.

He noticed that what Gelesos was staring at now was not him, but the horse he stepped down that was forcibly controlled by the sign of Axis.

That meant, Clay understood.

ride it not ride me?
Gelesos objected.

Turning over from his horse, Clay looked at the big guy in front of him who was as tall as himself just from the front of his mouth, and said with a smile:

"Let it go, after all, it's quite hard to drive your master around with me."

After all, he slapped the war horse on the rear, making this unlucky fellow drive away.

He knew too well the character of the dragon he raised, and he was a cheapskate in his bones.

Clay didn't say that. It is estimated that the only fate of this war horse is to be roasted by the dragon's flame and become Gelesos' lunch.

From the dragon's nostrils with blue-gold veins, a hot breath came out.

It's like letting the horse go.

Clay then asked:

"Why are you not staying in Dorne? Didn't I tell you to wait for me to go back?"

When he said that, Gelesos fell silent.

Because it was indeed against Clay's orders.

The huge head stretched forward and rubbed against Clay's chest.

With this tired look, Clay was also helpless.

It's all here, and Clay doesn't need to reprimand it.

Coincidentally, he was given a chance to appear alone.

"Let's go, I haven't experienced what the sky looks like for a long time."

Clay followed the slanted body of Gelesos, and slowly climbed up the dragon's back under the eyes of the others.

Feeling the scorching heat of the dragon's body, Clay grabbed the thorn on Gelesos' back.

He said softly:

"Fly."

Under the command of its master, the giant dragon let out a joyful howl and rushed forward a few steps. The huge dragon wings spread out and soared into the sky, bringing with it a violent gust of wind.

……

"Gods, I... I... Am I right?"

Edmure Tully could hardly believe what he had just seen.

For a long time, Clay Mandalay, who he thought was essentially emptying him, actually got on the back of a giant dragon who didn't know where it came from. Now, he took off directly.

In other words, Clay Manderly... can control dragons?

Edmure Tully's mind was completely confused. He couldn't understand why Clay Manderly could control dragons. He didn't remember that Manderly's ancestors had a relationship with Targaryen.

Most importantly, where did Clay Manderly come up with such a dragon that Edmure Tully couldn't summon up any courage to resist?

Countless chaotic thoughts flooded the mind of the Guardian of the River, making him completely dumbfounded.

At this time, Brynden Tully, who had just left the battlefield and hurried over, rushed back to his side. He didn't see the scene of Clay's appearance.

Noticing that Clay was not around his nephew, Brynden Tully frowned and asked:
"Where's Lord Clay?"

It was Edmure Tully's finger pointing upwards that answered him.

"in the sky."

said the Lord of Riverrun with a wry smile.

……

Clay was driving Gelesos, hovering in the sky, and he did not rush to order Gelesos to attack directly.

Now on the entire battlefield, there is no weapon that can restrain the dragon at all. The only useful defensive crossbow is now almost destroyed in the previous city attack and defense battle.

Therefore, once Gelesos arrives, Clay can do whatever he wants now, it all depends on his mood.

With the arrival of Galesos, the previous alliance between the Manderly family and the northern border and the riverlands has collapsed in a practical sense.

They didn't have the guts to get along with Clay with the attitude they had before.

Just as he was thinking, Clay suddenly saw another familiar dark figure in the sky.

Is she here too?
