Chapter 99 Young Wolf Lord
The sizzling wind was like a blade cutting through the green grass on the slope where the heads were standing tall. The howling wind covered up the sound of the hurried attack of the Western Cavalry.
"Brecken's infantry divided into four groups and wanted to cross the Red Fork River. They were crazy. Do they want to take the initiative!"
"Blackwood and Mallister's armies clashed and retreated for dozens of miles. It seemed that only the 400 archers left by Blackfish were left among the Riverland soldiers guarding the Tumstone River. Sir Jaime asked the army to try to cross Tengshihe is basically a guaranteed victory!”
"The soldiers of the Riverlands are weak, as is the Tully family, and Bracken is not much worse. We will win!"
The adjutant whispered, and he comforted the Western Cavalry who were feeling a little agitated around him, "Sir Jaime has survived a hundred battles. With him leading us, we will not lose."
The Western Cavalry nodded frequently, swung their whips a little harder, and closely followed the attacking Western Lions.
The wailing sounds of the scattered Bracken soldiers who were fleeing could be heard everywhere. The ruthless spears of the Western Cavalry pierced the chests of the Bracken soldiers, and the dripping blood covered the lush green shade and moist black soil under the horses' hooves.
Jaime's long sword passed through the air, and the severed heads of the Riverlands soldiers were suddenly thrown into the air. The golden sword hilt was playing tricks in his hands, and the sword was spinning and bloody. Several Riverland cavalry approaching Jaime started to rush. Falling off the horse, there was a lot of wailing and screaming.
"Which branch is this?" James looked at the sparse batches of Bracken soldiers scattered throughout the Red Fork River with some boredom. They did cross the river, but it was like they were dying.
"Fourth, sir," said the adjutant.
"Didn't the scout say that only four of the Bracken family's troops are crossing the river?" The back of James' sword hit the adjutant in the back. Maybe they dispersed immediately. The soldiers in the river must be afraid of your reputation, and they may flee again."
James smiled contemptuously, "Get on your horse. This is a waste of time. I need you to lead a cavalry. We will divide our troops into two groups and kill the Riverland soldiers who are seeking death by force."
He rode his horse over the corpses of the river soldiers one after another. The horse's hooves stepped on the dying soldiers, and a mouthful of blood spurted out from the soldiers' mouths. "Spare your life, sir" a slight gasp came from the soldiers' mouths.
"Team 1! Follow me, the rest of you will follow your dear adjutant, and dig out the remaining Bracken rats for me!" James shouted loudly, with the sword pointed down, who was begging for mercy just now. The soldier from the river suddenly had a bloody slit on his face, and his voice stopped.
The iron hooves of the Western Territory stepped on the land beside the Red Fork River, leaving waves of vibrations.
The bows fired arrows, and hundreds of arrows landed on the Tengshi River, making a sound like trout jumping out of the water.
"For Casterly Rock!"
"Lannister!"
"For Ser Jaime!"
The infantrymen of the West raised their shields high, removed the raft in an orderly manner, drew their swords, faced the Tully archers who were just around the corner, roared loudly, and fought like lions.
"Retreat!" The commander of the archers was a veteran who had been accompanying Heiyu from the Blood Gate to Riverrun City. He calmly looked at the hurriedly rushing Western Army, numbering thousands of people, with eagerness for fame written all over his face. On, I used to be like this too.
Heiyu's four hundred archers put away their bows and arrows, drew their swords, and retreated sharply.
"A bunch of stinking fish from the Riverlands, they are all cowards! Come on, kill all these archers!" The Lannister in red robe waved his sword, dropped his broken shield, roared in his throat, and charged forward. .
"Kill!"
The Western Army was like a red torrent, roaring like a lion, charging towards the weak Tully formation.
The long howl of wolves howled in the distance, and the sound of horse hooves beat in an orderly rhythm, but it shook the earth.
Some of the Western soldiers who were halfway across the Tengshi River seemed to feel a sense of uneasiness. They swarmed forward and raised their heads tremblingly.
In the distance, a strong wind swept across the sky, and the cold gray-white direwolf flag danced.
"Stark" the red-robed Lannister was slightly startled. Didn't he say that the scouts came to report that 20,000 Northern troops went straight to King's Landing to cause trouble for Lord Tywin?
The northern cavalry was as fast as a pack of running wolves, springing out of the forest and rushing down the hillside. "For Winterfell!"
"For Stark!"
"For the North!"
The scene of the northern cavalry charge that constantly occupied the field of vision deeply shocked the wet western infantry. They had no time to set up their spears or form a shield formation. He looked back behind him, and saw that the water in the Tengshi River was still unabated. The blood of the companions shot by the Tully archers was even stained on the water and did not melt into the water.
His pupils gradually dilated, and the voice of "Help" stuck in his throat. The spear penetrated his shoulder, and the horse's head hit him hard. His whole body seemed to have no bones, and he jumped up into the air in a daze, and fell softly to the ground. , leaving a pool of blood.
The army of the West is like a red lion, and the Stark cavalry is like a silver dagger. The lion exposes its soft neck, and the dagger sticks straight into it with perfect accuracy.
The red lion collapsed by the river, and the entire army was wiped out.
Blackfish stood on the wall of Riverrun City, watching the Western Army guarding the city from a distance.
Thousands of advance troops from Riverrun City have arrived at the city gate, ready to open the city gate and file out at any time.
Robb brought reinforcements from the north. They were not many in number, but they were all elite cavalry, totaling six thousand men.
But more importantly, due to the Twins Agreement he and Edmure brought, the army in the valley would not harass or invade the northern borders of the Riverlands and the territory from the Red Fork River to the Lake of God's Eye. Instead, they would follow The northern army marched south to King's Landing, and the combined forces of the wolf and eagle sent a message to the princes of the Riverlands that was stable and enough to make everyone's hearts tense, that is, the osprey would be temporarily reconciled with the intervention of the wolf.
Only then did Blackwood, Mallister, and Bracken finally agree to obey the tactical arrangements of a backbone and sacrifice part of their military strength to obey military orders. However, this backbone was Robb. Stark, not himself who protects Riverrun.
The rear of the Riverlands was no longer intimidated by the valley, and the princes dared to let go and encircle the Lannister who had been harassing them.
Even more reassuring than the northern army brought by Robb was the news that the lords of the Riverlands had confirmed that the hawks in the valley were no longer watching them.
The power of this political message is no less than that of an army of ten thousand.
Thinking of this, Brynden Tully couldn't help but sigh slightly. The military strength of the Riverlands has not always been weak, but it is difficult for the princes to serve with one heart. Even when Hoster was young, the conflicts among the princes of the Riverlands There is no solution. It is as difficult as trying to get the two sides to take care of each other and fight together.
Attendant Devin walked up to him. The trophy helmet he had snatched from the Alpine clan was finally discarded and replaced with a brand new Riverland half-helm.
"Sir, the scouts are here to report that Duke Robb has crossed the Tengshi River and is heading this way. He will soon be able to surround the Westerners who are besieging the city." Dai Wen spoke easily, still wearing that silly smile on his face.
Brynden nodded, "Inform the entire army to lower the drawbridge and go out of the city to meet the enemy."
The gates of Riverrun City, which had been sealed for a long time, slowly opened, and the suspension bridge was slowly lowered.
The Western Soldier looked at this scene with some surprise, but he quickly realized something was wrong and hurriedly turned around and ran towards the military camp.
Behind the military camp, Robb Stark holds a long sword in his hand, and the direwolf Gray Wind rushes into the enemy camp with blood on his mouth.
"Young Wolf Lord! (Theyoungwolf)"
"Young Wolf Lord!"
"Young Wolf Lord!"
The shouts of the Northern Cavalry had changed at this time. Simple and clear words that symbolized the identity of the commander were shouted out frequently. The Northern Cavalry swept through the Western Army like flying blades cutting weeds.
Heiyu sat on his horse, drew his long bow, and shot arrows into the air, falling like meteors.
Trout and direwolf, in the water and on the ground, team up to hunt the lion.
