Chapter 17 Ten times the enemies
The stream is gurgling and the moonlight is sparkling.

The fast-flowing stream shattered the full moon, and the rustling of leaves in the woods and the gentle neighing of war horses lingered in my ears.

After a long journey, the Wolf Cavalry finally found a place to rest temporarily in the Whispering Forest near Riverrun.

Gray Feng was a little anxious and kept shuttling back and forth among the soldiers, causing a commotion and the sound of armor clashing and rubbing.

"Good boy, it's time for you to be quiet for a while." Robb grabbed Gray Wind and let him stay by his side peacefully.

At this time, Sir Blackfish emerged from the woods. He was very busy today. In order to cover the team's whereabouts, he did not dare to rest for a moment and was always in a state of mental stress.

"Jaime had no idea of ​​our movements. Not a single raven flew back to his camp. I killed all the Lannister family scouts I encountered."

Robb now trusts Sir Blackfish. In the past two days, he has proven himself to Robb with his own strength. He is a rare talent and his second grandfather.

"Tell me about the situation in James's army."

Sir Blackfish hesitated for a moment: "They... have about three thousand cavalry and about 1 infantry. I barely made contact with Riverrun City. The army in Riverrun City is now commanded by Lord Blackwood of Raventree Castle. There were three to four thousand people.”

Robb chuckled: "Oh, 4000 people versus 3000 people. It seems that the opponent has the advantage."

Sir Blackfish didn't know whether his grandson was arrogant or confident, but his relaxed expression still made Blackfish's wildly beating heart feel a little relieved.

"It's not without good news," Ser Blackfish drew a picture for Robb on the sand. "Because Riverrun has a special geographical location, located at the angle between the Red Fork River and the Tumbling Stone River, in order to surround Riverrun, the Kingslayer had to The army was stationed in three places, and their strength was very scattered."

Robb thought for a moment: "Cavalry is far more important than infantry. We must first find a way to eat up the Lannister family's cavalry."

Sir Blackfish immediately offered a strategy: "The three thousand cavalry of the Lannister family are all led by the regicide. These precious little lumps will not participate in the siege. They usually clean up the scattered resistance forces in the Riverlands near the battlefield.

Lord Blackwood, who defends the city, sometimes sends troops to harass the defenders besieging Riverrun, but they are all chased down by the Kingslayer's cavalry. The Kingslayer is very strong and violent. We can pretend to be the defenders of Riverrun. Army, lead James here. "

Robb thought this strategy was feasible, but he saw Ser Blackfish's expression hesitant and asked, "What's wrong? What's the problem?"

Sir Blackfish looked around: "But we only have 300 people, sir. There are three thousand cavalry on the opposite side, and the number is ten to one."

"So, you think we will lose?"

Sir Blackfish carefully organized his words: "I don't know, but this will definitely be a hard battle. The Kingslayer is very powerful. He almost shattered the entire Riverlands by himself. You saw the tragedy along the way, James. Mu’s army has won two major victories in a row and is in great momentum, but our numbers are too small.”

Robb patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry, no matter how strong the Kingslayer is, he is only one person."

Sir Blackfish wanted to say, aren't you also a person?
Robb looked at Theon, and Theon understood what Robb meant, put his fingers in his mouth, and blew a whistle.

woo-

When all the wolf cavalry in the Whispering Forest heard the whistle, they immediately took action. Their movements were like actors who had practiced it countless times, with a neat beauty in the chaos. Within ten seconds, all the wolf cavalry found themselves. horse.

The armor on their bodies was neatly dressed at some point, and they held spears or halberds in their hands. The cold gleams on their tips were neatly arranged, quickly forming a neat square formation. They were silent and stared at their commander.The atmosphere in the forest suddenly became chilly, and the temperature seemed to drop accordingly.

The somewhat dazed Sir Blackfish and Steven Fry were at a loss. They were shocked by the scene that happened in front of them. What kind of team is this?
They have never seen such an army. In such a short period of time, if they face such an opponent, they may not have put on the armor yet, and this so-called wolf cavalry can already strike them with a sword at any time!

The two seemed to understand why Robb was so confident.

Robb came to the wolf cavalry phalanx: "We are about to enter the battle. There are about 3000 people on the opposite side, all cavalry."

The wolf cavalry phalanx did not waver at all, their eyes were still sharp.

Robb took a deep breath: "This is your first battle, the Whispering Forest. You must remember this place, and the world will remember this place, because here, the first invincible team in history, the Wolf Cavalry, Their first battle will begin.”

"Whoever the enemy is, let them know that winter is coming."

The phalanx of wolf cavalry remained motionless, no one said a word, and there was nothing in the forest except the sound of rushing water.

But Sir Blackfish and Sir Steffron Frey on the side seemed to hear the thunder and fire roaring, the wind and ice and snow howling, and a force and momentum flowing in this team.

At this moment, the two of them believed without reservation that this battle would be won!

Although the number of the enemy is ten times that of our own, although the enemy has won consecutive battles, although our own army has long been exhausted, but

This battle must be won!

"Ser Blackfish, send the messenger raven to inform Lord Blackwood of Riverrun, asking them to immediately send troops to harass the Lannister army that is besieging them."

Young Jon Umber, Torrhen Karstark, Eddard Karstark, Cray Severn, Theon Greyjoy, and Daisy Mormont - Lord Maege The lady's eldest daughter and heir to Bear Island...

Robb carefully selected a dozen noble-born soldiers among the Wolf Cavalry, preparing to use them as bait to lure the enemy deeper.

The children of nobles have much better physical fitness, and their survival probability is higher as bait. Robb also wants to take this opportunity to give them a stage to perform, in preparation for subsequent promotions of them and to win over the families behind them.

Robb watched them leave: "I'll be waiting for you here, don't let me down."

Theon and Little Jon held a spear with the Tully family flag in their hands and disappeared into the night with a dozen people.

Robb and the remaining wolf cavalry were lying in ambush on the back of the hill, waiting for the opponent to enter the depression on the front of the hill, and the wolf cavalry would launch the most deadly charge.

After the deathly silence, a faint sound came from the distance.

"Here we come." Sir Blackfish heard his voice tremble a little.
