Game of Thrones: Roar of the Dragon

Haijiang City, main fortress Crow's Nest.

"The squids in the Iron Islands are missing, and I'm now trapped in Seagate.

Please ask my uncle to bring the Riverrun army to support us as soon as possible.

By then we can attack the enemy from both sides, and there will be no obstacles in recovering the Hejian area!"

Elmon dictated the contents of the letter, and the scholar from Haijiang City who had surrendered earlier immediately wrote it down on a small piece of letter paper.

Seeing that Elmon stopped talking, the scholar from Haijiang City turned around, stuffed the letter between the ankles of a raven, and then let it fly away.

Thump, thump!
The black raven immediately flapped its wings and flew towards Riverrun.

Elmon looked at the raven that disappeared in the sky in the blink of an eye, calculating the time for the arrival of reinforcements in his mind.

At the speed of a raven, it only takes half a day to fly from Seaside City to Riverrun City.

A large number of soldiers recruited by the Tully family had already gathered in Riverrun. After receiving the letter, they immediately marched at the fastest speed.

It will take about five and a half days for reinforcements to arrive.

But Elmon knew that this was not the case. His uncle, who was appointed as the acting city lord, had always been cautious and would probably hold a pre-war meeting first.

In addition, it was impossible to march at the fastest speed every day, so he felt that the reinforcements would arrive in about seven days.

Fortunately, the soldiers of the Blackwood family outside the city did not take the opportunity to attack. Elmon has now rearranged the city's defenses. In his opinion, they can hold out for at least one or two months.

As for why Earl Samwell did not pursue the victory, Elmon guessed that either the other party was careful about his reputation and did not want to sacrifice too many soldiers of the Blackwood family.

Or he is plotting some conspiracy and preparing to take the city in one fell swoop.

Just as Elmon was racking his brains to think about how to hold out for another week, several scouts from the Blackwood family who were watching the sky outside Haijiang City immediately turned around to report.

In the following days, the soldiers of the Blackwood family did not continue to attack Haijiang City, and they were ready for a protracted war.

But the Blackwood family had the capital to do so, after all, the rear area of ​​their camp was filled with horse-drawn carriages carrying supplies.

Judging from the situation, the supplies on these transport carriages can last for at least half a year.

Time passed, and six days went by quickly.

In the early morning of the seventh day, a dark figure took advantage of the cover of darkness and quietly moved towards the camp of the Blackwood family.

shhhhhh!
Bang bang bang!
Suddenly, more than a dozen arrows flashing with cold light shot out from the darkness, and several soldiers standing guard near the gate of the Blackwood family camp were instantly shot and fell to the ground.

"Rush!!!"

"Kill them all!"

Roars rang out along with arrows, and two or three thousand Tully soldiers wearing trout scale armor shouted and charged towards the Blackwood family camp with weapons in hand.

shhhhhh!
A hail of arrows shot out from the Blackwood family camp, instantly knocking down a large number of Tully family soldiers who were about to rush to the camp.

However, the current distance is only enough for two rounds of arrow rain at most, and two rounds of arrow rain are obviously not enough to kill all the two or three thousand Tully family soldiers who launched the raid.

The guards of Haijiang City also heard and saw the fighting here. Elmon directly ordered his soldiers to open the simple wooden fence outside Haijiang City.

Then he took the lead with his soldiers who had assembled in advance and rushed towards the Blackwood family camp from the other side.

If you look from the sky at this moment, you can see that the soldiers of the Blackwood family are like meat fillings, about to be wrapped by the dumpling skins.

Woo oh, go!
As soon as the archers of the Blackwood family shot their second arrow, the shouting soldiers of the Tully family rushed into the camp.

A bloody melee thus began!

In the camp, soldiers from the Blackwood family and soldiers from the Tully family fought each other.

Tear, tear!
The result was not the expected fierce battle between the two sides.

Except for the group of archers who were protected in the center of the camp, the other soldiers of the Blackwood family were easily killed by the soldiers of the Tully family. It was a completely one-sided battle!

If these Tully family soldiers had participated in previous battles, they would be able to immediately tell that these so-called Blackwood family soldiers were actually slave soldiers from Essos.

And Earl Samwell always used these slave soldiers as bait.

shhhhhh!
Suddenly, hundreds of burning special rockets flew out from a low slope on the left side of the Blackwood family camp.

These burning rockets were like fireflies all over the sky, flying towards the camp in an all-encompassing manner.

Dodo dodo, wow!

The arrows of these rockets are specially made, which can cause great damage when shot at flesh and blood.

It can be clearly seen that many rockets shot and killed Tully family soldiers or slave soldiers, and then directly ignited the bodies, burning fiercely.

However, the main purpose of these incendiary rockets is not to kill the enemy!
Instead, they are specially placed transport carriages that can be seen everywhere outside the Blackwood family camp.

After the rockets hit the transport carriages, they quickly caught fire and illuminated the entire battlefield like daylight.

Rumble!
The sound of thousands of galloping horses came from the low slope on the left.

The Tully soldiers who were attacked by rockets immediately realized that they had fallen into a trap.

Their commander shouted loudly and decisively: "Everyone listen up, the back half of the soldiers will turn around to deal with the enemy cavalry, and the rest of the people will continue to charge!"

As the commander of the Tully family soldiers shouted his orders, their army instantly split into two parts.
Some continued to attack the Blackwood family camp, while the others stayed where they were, holding their weapons tightly and turning their heads to wait for the enemy cavalry behind them.

Rumble!
As the enemy cavalry approached rapidly, the Tully soldiers could clearly see the attire of the cavalry in the blazing flames of the surrounding transport carriages.

But unexpectedly, at the forefront of the thousands of cavalrymen who launched the raid was a group of heavily armored cavalrymen whose horses were even covered in armor.

"Run! Run into the camp!"

The commander of House Tully was experienced and well aware of the power of heavy cavalry, so he immediately lost all desire to fight.

He just shouted loudly and turned around to flee to the Blackwood family camp.

However, running away from the heavily armored cavalry that were already charging was even more foolish than facing them.

Bang bang bang!
Nearly 500 heavy cavalrymen at the front took advantage of the bright firelight and charged straight into the group of fleeing Tully soldiers, instantly knocking down the Tully soldiers running at the end.

The Tully soldiers who fell to the ground had no time to struggle to get up before countless horses' hooves trampled over them, turning them into soft corpses.

Sizzle, sizzle!
The heavy cavalry's lances kept stabbing the Tully soldiers. These Tully soldiers, who were usually fierce and cruel, were now like lambs fleeing for their lives.

Behind the 500 heavy cavalry, there were 500 light cavalry.

They followed the bloody road trodden by the heavy cavalry, constantly harvesting the lives of the Tully family soldiers. The Tully family soldiers outside the Blackwood family camp fled in panic, while the Tully family soldiers who rushed into the camp continued to fight.

The Tully soldiers from the Portley Keep are approaching the camp.

On the low slope to the left of the Blackwood family camp, Earl Samwell, riding on a warhorse, looked down at the extremely chaotic battlefield.

With a smile on his face, he praised his personal guards: "Your Majesty is really good at foresight. The tactic he taught me to surround a point and attack the reinforcements is really useful!"

"Hehe, Lord Earl, you have made great contributions in annihilating the Tully family.

His Majesty the Dragon God will definitely not treat you unfairly in the future. After all, this is how the Frey family rose to prominence before!"

“These things are not being considered right now.

Now that the fish are in the net, blow the horn to notify everyone to pull in the net! "

When the guard heard Earl Samwell's order, he nodded in agreement and immediately blew a dark horn in his hand.

Woo!
The melodious horn sounded, and two or three thousand elite infantrymen who were ambushed in the darkness of the Blackwood family camp,
They quickly formed a circular formation to surround the entire camp and marched towards the camp in orderly steps.

The first to come into contact with this group of elite infantry were the Tully family soldiers on the outermost perimeter, led by Elmon, who attacked from the direction of Haijiang City.

He thought that these encircled Winterfell infantrymen were as vulnerable as the slave soldiers of the Blackwood family today.

Therefore, he turned back and fought back with his obviously smaller number of soldiers.

呲!
I saw this group of elite infantrymen lined up in a neat formation, with the shield soldiers in front defending and the spearmen behind them attacking.

With just one well-aligned stabbing of the spears, dozens or even hundreds of Tully soldiers, who had no time to dodge, were stabbed with bloody holes all over their bodies.

Elmon, who discovered something was wrong, immediately fled towards the center of the camp with some of his trusted men.

Kill! ! !
Nearly a thousand cavalrymen rode back and forth outside the camp, hacking and killing, while the three thousand infantrymen surrounding the camp used spears to efficiently reap the lives of Tully family soldiers.

In the light of the blazing fire tonight, the blood appears even more red!
The commander who successfully rushed into the Blackwood family camp survived the enemy cavalry charge.

But if this continues, their Tully family army's night attack will surely be wiped out.

Fortunately, this time Riverrun came out in full force, and they were just the advance troops!
Oh oh oh!
A series of horn sounds with completely different rhythms and frequencies rang out, and then quickly passed on like a relay to a place two or three kilometers away from Haijiang City.

This is the valley section between Haijiang City and Huangshi City.

Because this section of the valley is sandwiched between two major mountain ranges, the road is low and narrow, and can only accommodate four or five war horses passing side by side.

The main force of Riverrun cavalry, led by Elmon's uncle, Tommen Tully, was hidden outside the valley section.

When he heard the horn, Tommen immediately ordered the entire army to attack.

Bang bang bang!
Blah, blah!
However, the Riverrun cavalry had just entered the valley section when they were frightened by a loud noise overhead and stopped their horses.

They looked up at the source of the sound and saw a large orange flame rising from the top of the valley behind them.

A large amount of shattered rubble fell down with a crash, directly blocking the valley road behind them.

The last dozen or so cavalrymen of Riverrun's cavalry column were unable to dodge in time and were buried under the rubble along with their horses.

As the explosions sounded, dense crowds of enemy troops appeared on the mountains on both sides.

shhhhhh!
Boom boom!

Countless arrows were shot down from above like a torrential rain, and many logs and boulders were pushed down by the enemy troops on both sides of the mountain.

what!what!
The more than 3,000 Riverrun cavalrymen suddenly became chaotic, and people were shot by arrows and fell off their horses one after another.

Logs as thick as pillars and boulders as big as washbasins rolled down the mountain, crushing both people and horses to death.

"There's an ambush. Follow me if you want to live! Get out now!"

He had no time to think about the fact that he had been hiding here with his army for so long but had not discovered the enemy.

Tommen, who was ambushed, roared with all his might, drew his sword, and rushed towards the nearby exit of the valley.

At the exit of the valley, thousands of elite spearmen armed to the teeth were waiting with forests of sharp spears in their hands.

Behind the spearman corps, there are thousands of well-rested archer corps.

shhhhhh!
When the archer corps saw the Riverrun cavalry enter attack range, they immediately drew their bows and shot.

Ding Ding Ding!
Most of the arrows were bounced off by the sophisticated armor of the Riverrun cavalry, making a series of crisp collision sounds.

But there were also some unlucky ones who were hit by arrows on their horses and fell to the ground with their horses.

They didn't even have time to get up before being trampled into a pulp by other Riverrun cavalrymen behind them.

With the crazy speed of the Riverrun cavalry's charge, the archer corps only fired two rounds of volleys before they were already close to the spearman corps.

Before the first row of Riverrun cavalry charged into the spearmen, they all looked pale and despair on their faces.

But in the face of this kind of large-scale group charge, even if they were reluctant, they had no choice but to rush in like moths to a flame.

Puff, puff!
The Riverrun cavalry in the front row were stabbed into pieces by the sharp spears like a forest.

These Riverrun cavalrymen were not dead yet. They were hanging on the spears and struggling with their hands to remove the spears that pierced their bodies.

But as a large amount of blood was lost, their eyes began to blur and they gradually turned into real corpses.

Spearmen are the natural nemesis of cavalry, and they have the geographical advantage of occupying the exit of the valley.

No matter how brave and fearless the Riverrun cavalry are, it is useless if they are not afraid of death.

As rows of Riverrun cavalry turned into corpses, some of them began to shout words of surrender.

Tommen, who was in the middle of Riverrun, heard the sound and immediately shouted to the supervisory team to go and kill those who surrendered to the enemy in the battle.

But the exit of the valley was already filled with Tully family cavalry, and it could only accommodate four or five war horses.

Without the supervision team to stop it in time, the sporadic surrender of cavalry turned into a large-scale surrender and strike.

Even some of the Riverrun cavalry tried to redeem themselves by gaining merit in the battle.

They actually turned around and attacked Tommen and his supervisory team.

Whether it was the battle in Haijiang City or the valley section, the outcome was certain.

This battle must end with the victory of the coalition of nobles under the Iron Throne, and the new civil strife in the Seven Kingdoms was easily resolved! (End of this chapter)
