Chapter 28 Tyroshi Cavalry

After a night of arduous fighting, the Lannister army besieging Riverrun was completely defeated by Robb.

The armies of the Lannister family on the north and west banks were massacred. Most of the soldiers fled or surrendered, and those who dared to stay and resist became ghosts.

At first, the Lannister defenders who originally stayed on the west bank tried to organize a shield wall to resist, but the Riverrun defenders, under the leadership of Lord Tytos Blackwood, attacked from behind. As a result, the battle on the west bank was even more tragic than that on the north bank.

As for the army on the east coast that had not taken action, Sir Fleur Priest, who had stayed behind, saw that the situation was irreversible and directly led his 4000 men to retreat safely in an orderly manner.

A Tyroshi mercenary who was responsible for leading the Free Riders cut down the banner of the Lannister family and switched to the Stark side.

After the war, Sir Blackfish dragged his exhausted body and reported last night's battle situation to Robb: "Sir Robb, Count Andros's ship was hit by our catapult, because he was wearing heavy armor, and he died after the ship capsized. Never climbed up again.”

"We have killed 200 people in battle, killed more than 3000 enemies, captured more than [-] people, and seized countless supplies. We are stepping up our efforts to arrange people to count them."

Robb felt a little tired. The blood on his body had not dried up after a night of bloody fighting.

But he couldn't rest yet. As the leader of a team, he still had many things to deal with.

"Has my uncle Edmure Tully been found?"

Sir Blackfish's tone finally became more relaxed: "We found him. He was imprisoned in the same prisoner-of-war camp with a group of riverland nobles, but he lost a lot of weight."

Robb nodded: "Send them to Riverrun for resettlement first. I will meet them later. Now let the Tyrosh mercenary come to see me."

Tyrosh is a free city-state, but it does not belong to the continent of Westeros, but is a member of the Land of Strife. It is a seaport city rich in mercenaries and slaves.

It seems that Jaime the Kingslayer specially recruited these free riders for this battle.

I just didn't expect that this group of people didn't have a strong fighting spirit. Seeing that the Lannister family was about to be defeated, they actually changed their ways and joined Robb.

Faced with these cavalry who came to his door, Robb certainly had no reason to turn them away, but the loyalty of this group of people was very questionable, and it was not an easy task to conquer them.

The mercenary who cut down the Lannister banner was quickly brought before Robb.

This rider has an ordinary face, but his beard is very strange. It is not only very long, but also a rare gray-green color.

While Robb was sizing him up, the green-bearded mercenary was also observing the Young Wolf Lord: blue eyes, auburn hair, and a strong build.

He is no different from ordinary people. Legend has it that the Young Wolf Lord can turn into a dragon and sweep across the battlefield. I don't know if it is true.

No matter what he thought in his heart, as a defeated general, Greenbeard still knelt down on one knee and expressed his loyalty to his new boss: "My name is Pero, others call me Greenbeard. I represent the three hundred riders of Tyrosh and the Six hundred horses are willing to fight for the new king.”

Robb stood under a tree and looked down at the greenbeard: "I heard that the Tyrosh are known for their greed."

Green Beard felt his scalp tingling for a while. It was really difficult to answer this question, so he could only respond in silence.

Robb changed the topic: "Actually, greed is not a bad thing. People always have something to do. If everyone is a saint and has no desires or desires, how can I let them do things for me?"

Greenbeard breathed a long sigh of relief and felt much more at ease: "Sir, please rest assured, the Lannister commanders are too stupid. We saw that they are no match for you, so we joined your team."

"Really? It seems that you don't have any psychological burden on changing the family."

Greenbeard's heart was lifted again as he just fell to the ground.Your life is in the hands of others, it's really up to them.

"No, no, we..."

Robb interrupted Greenbeard: "Actually, it's fine this way. We pay and you contribute. As long as we abide by the rules of the transaction, everyone will be happy, right?"

"Yes Yes Yes……"

Greenbeard felt like a puppet being played up and down, and his mood swayed completely according to the other person's words.

Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, Green Beard felt that the young man in front of him seemed to have means beyond his age.

Robb walked up to Greenbeard and stretched out his hand to touch the top of his head. The blood that had not yet dried was wiped on Greenbeard's head. Greenbeard did not dare to say a word.

"Since you have given your life to me, then take me to see the warriors of Tyrosh."

Green Beard let out a long sigh of relief, this time was finally over.

Robb knew that the loyalty of this group of mercenaries would definitely not be high, but loyalty and a sense of honor could be cultivated, it just depended on their own methods.

Now that one-third of the wolf cavalry has been lost, Robb also needs cavalry to supplement, and this group of Tyrosh cavalry can just supplement the troops.

Moreover, this Greenbeard and this group of cavalry are from the Eastern Continent and are very familiar with it. They will definitely be useful in the future.

After looking at Tyrosh's mercenaries, Robb was a little surprised. The overall quality of this group of mercenaries was quite good, and each of them met Robb's rigid requirements for wolf cavalry.

But it also makes sense.

This group of people traveled across the ocean to the continent of Westeros to serve as mercenaries on the battlefield. If they were not confident in their own strength, they would not dare to do so.

With these three hundred Tyrosh riders, the number of Robb's wolf cavalry has expanded to more than 500, but the combat effectiveness may not be as good as the previous 300.

"Let them get along with the original wolf cavalry for a while, and then train them. Their combat effectiveness should soar soon."

Greenbeard also brought a piece of information to Robb: the Lannister army on the east coast has 4000 people, [-] pikemen and [-] archers. They are estimated to have joined Duke Tywin on the King's Road.

There is still a team of more than 2 people on Duke Tywin's side, and they are rushing here non-stop at the moment.

Robb smiled: "I still have a team of 5000 people chasing Tywin's ass. He is probably still far away from us now."

Greenbeard was shocked after hearing Robb's words. The Young Wolf Lord, with less than 1 men, defeated the Lannister family's team of more than 1 people. He also had a team of more than [-] people. Nalan Isn’t the Nestor family bound to lose?

Robb no longer paid attention to Greenbeard. The siege of Riverrun had just been lifted, and most of the entire Riverlands was still in Tywin's hands. He still had a lot to do.

"Sir Blackfish, come into the city with me. Let's see how Lord Tully is doing now."
