Take the ride to dominate the game

Chapter 99 Night Attack
"You guys chatted happily, old lady, did I miss something?" Mrs. He An appeared from outside the door.

On either side of her were Hendry and Jayne Bracken, the eldest daughter of Lord Janos.

Since arriving at Harrenhal, Jayne and his younger sisters have been staying with Mrs. He'an all day long.

One old and five young, but they get along just fine.

Hendry also always ran to Mrs. He'an's room. He has been trying his best to build a good relationship with the earl-level nobles in Hejian, and he also uses the same strategy for the declining He'an family.

As soon as the three of them came in, the arguing people immediately fell silent.

A dozen eyes turned to Hendry and Jayne.

"What's wrong?" Hendry was not stupid, and asked after realizing something was wrong.

After a few breaths of silence, the red-robed monk Soros explained Earl Bracken's behavior to him.

Hendry's mediocre facial features suddenly became wonderful, and several expressions such as surprise, dumbfounded, fear, and guilty conscience were mixed together, making it difficult to guess what he was thinking now.

Finally, he spit out a sentence: "I was going to fight the soldiers of the Western Region? Why did my uncle surrender first?"

The nephew was about to fight to the death, why did the uncle surrender first?
Why don't you take me with you?
Seeing the embarrassing scene, Mrs. He'an smoothed things over: "Actually, Earl Janos' behavior is also understandable."

Raymond also chimed in: "That is, since Edmure was seriously injured, the command of the Riverrun Army in Riverrun was handed over to Earl Titos of Raventree City, and when Stonehedge City was besieged, Earl Janos also It's just for my own protection."

After the battle outside Riverrun, Edmure was seriously injured and unable to take charge of the overall situation, so he handed over the command to Lord Titus on the north bank.

There are two reasons for this arrangement: Raventree City is on the north bank of the Red Fork River, and it has not been invaded for the time being. Titus can wholeheartedly fight against the West in Riverrun City; The most powerful of the river lords in Riverrun.

But the four earls on the south bank had no intention of staying in Riverrun, and were eager to rush back to their own territory for rescue. As a result, Genos was very embarrassed.

Let him go back with 1000 men, Stoneredge is being besieged; stay in Riverrun, the nobles from the South Bank who befriended him have left, and the remaining Tully soldiers and Raventree soldiers will be punished by their sworn enemy Tytos. command.

After weighing the pros and cons, the Earl of Bracken performed his famous stunt: robbing a prisoner of war and jumping back.

And this is not an ordinary prisoner of war, the Kingslayer is the eldest son of Duke Tywin.

For a little devil, the dwarf son who is not favored by the governor of the lion family, Duke Tywin can go to war with the entire riverland, and the kingslayer who is loved by Tywin is really worth a lot.

Moreover, Genos was the first earl-level nobleman to surrender in Hejian. In order to show his sincerity, Duke Tywin's bid would not be low.

A thousand pieces of gold buys a horse bone.

After the two helped to break the siege, Hendry vowed that he was not like his uncle, and that he would stand with the Hejian people and fight to the death with the soldiers from the Western Region.

The people present did not question it, but I am afraid that not many people believed it.

There were other matters to be discussed, and Hindry and his cousin were not in trouble.

"I propose to send Raymond from Darry City to Maiden Springs to rescue soldiers." Marco Piper said.

This was the first time he had made such a wise suggestion.

Maiden Springs, located in Crab Bay, is the home castle of the Mooton family, and the current lord is Earl William Mooton.

When Duke Tywin stationed troops in Horn Valley City, the Mooton family did not respond to the call of the lord Tully's family on the grounds of the long distance.

In the vicinity of Harrenhal, there was only such a large family that could still have more than two thousand troops.

Raymond's family and Mooton's family have been neighbors for many years, and sending him should be able to borrow a lot of troops.

Arthur nodded, "This is also a way."

Due to the defeat of Riverrun and Kevan leading his army northward, his plans were greatly disrupted.

It turned out that he was thinking of defending Harrenhal with this little force in his hand and the new army formed, and then waited for reinforcements from the northern border to arrive.

According to the original plot, as long as Harrenhal is held for about a month, [-] infantry from the North and the Freys led by Lord Roose Bolton will arrive.

But this plan is obviously not suitable for the current situation.

In the original book, James really didn't know soldiers, so he besieged Riverrun in three places, and was captured in the ambush in the Whispering Forest.

This is why in the subsequent battle of attacking the battalion, the western division had no command and was defeated by the northern cavalry, whose troops were far smaller than those in the western division.

But Kevan didn't have the recklessness of his nephew. He was a qualified second son who had received complete military training, and the meaning of his existence was to serve as Duke Tywin's military assistant.

Since Riverrun can't be captured in a short time, and the northern soldiers have already arrived at Cailin Bay, it is only right for Kevan to lead the army north to fight, and by the way, pull the Freys who are sitting on the fence to his own camp.

It's just that in this way, the soldiers from the northern border had to deal with Kaifeng's troops from the western border first, and the time to go south was greatly delayed.

This put Arthur and the others in a precarious situation.

If Duke Tywin is determined to take his life, even if Harrenhal is tall, all the troops in the city will not be enough to consume.

The soldiers of each family in Hejian add up to about 300 people, and the number of new troops has reached 400, for a total of 4000 people, which is far from enough compared to Tai Wen's [-] people.

Even the most famous heavy cavalry regiment of the Lion family far outnumbered those in Arthur's hands.

Therefore, finding reliable foreign aid has become the most urgent thing now.

It's just that the strength of the Mooton family is not enough.

Lei Meng said: "This is also feasible, but even if all the troops of the Muton family come to help, it may not be..."

He didn't say it clearly, but the meaning was obvious.

Soros, who was full, wiped his grease, turned his head and said to the nobles in the river:

"In addition to strengthening yourselves, you can also think about weakening your opponent."

weaken the opponent...

Arthur suddenly remembered a method that was common in the Three Kingdoms in his previous life:
Raid the camp in the middle of the night.

"We can attack their camp in the middle of the night. If we plan well, we can attack and kill Tywin in one fell swoop. As long as Tywin dies, the western border will definitely fight against Renly in the south in order to defend Joffrey's throne." He told everyone. Said.

Right now, Duke Eddard is still imprisoned in the dungeon of the Red Castle in King's Landing City, Robb has not become king yet, and the conflict between the Western Territory and the Fish-Wolf Alliance has not yet intensified to the point of death.

At most, Edmure was injured and a little devil was tied up. As long as these two people are alive, the three families of the two sides can still sit down and talk.

"The main force of the Western Territory outside the city is very tightly defended, and we don't have much chance." Ma Ke said.

He has always been straightforward and reckless. If he said there is no chance, then this way is really dead.

The nobles in Hejian fell into deep thought.

Is it just waiting to die here?
As a landlord, Mrs. He'an suddenly remembered something, "Maybe you..."

When the words came to her lips, she stopped talking.

"What, madam, tell me quickly." Patrick was aroused and urged.

"Tywin's army is near the town of Heron. There is indeed a shortcut to get there from the castle, but this is too risky and may kill you." The old woman said in a heavy tone.

"As long as they can quietly approach their camp, they will die." Arthur's tone was unusually affirmative.

He still has confidence in his abilities.

If Tywin is killed, there may be no more wars in the entire riverland, and the civilians will live so hard.

"It's worth the risk for millions of civilians across the riverlands," he added.

Mrs. He'an's face was serious, "Then I'll just say it. From God's Eye Lake to the pier in Heron Town quietly, Tywin's army won't even be able to defend the lake."

Raymond and the others nodded, approving the plan.

Everyone was chattering about supplementary details.

"You can row a boat to the pier in Heron Town in the middle of the night."

"Just pretend to be cavalry in the western region. We have a lot of armor and weapons for them."

In the battle with Amory Lodge's Heron Town, seven or eight hundred sets of western light cavalry equipment were seized, which are now in good use.

"Take dozens of top fighters and kill directly to Tywin's residence."

"That is, unload Tywin into eight pieces and let them know what will happen if they invade our river!"

After a discussion, the plan to attack and kill Tywin was finally determined.

According to the spies who were caught entering the city, the town of Heron was full of infantry and light cavalry, while Duke Tywin, the officer corps, and more than 4000 heavy cavalry stayed outside the town.

So Arthur and the others needed to dress up as light cavalry from the western region, enter the enemy camp from the pier in Heron Town, sneak into the tent area outside the town in the middle of the night, find the largest tent, and rush in to do it.

Of course, it is not to kill Tywin when they are caught, but also to hold the Guardian of the Western Territory hostage and let the team that robbed the camp out of the enemy camp.

After finalizing many details, Arthur began to select the team to rob the camp.

As usual, the members of the blood troupe came first, and Wag and 22 mercenaries from the Warriors were selected.

In order to boost the morale of these people, Arthur ordered Haili to take out a thousand gold dragons and distribute them to these people.

Wag who was called had no objection, and stammered his thanks.

As long as he has gold, he can do anything.

"It's less." Mrs. He'an who was sitting in the corner had a different opinion.

"It's extremely dangerous to go here. A thousand golden dragons don't even have a hundred for one person. It seems like we Hejian people are stingy when it spreads."

She said to Li Cha, the manager, "Go and get [-] golden dragons to make up for these warriors."

Arthur didn't object, and it wasn't his own money.

Mrs. He'an has no descendants, and she owns the largest earldom in the entire Harrenhal and the Riverlands, so she has always spent a lot of money.

"My lady, thank you."

Wag's eyes were wide open, and he hurried to the old woman in the corner, took her right hand and began to kiss her fiercely.

Arthur ignored these two and continued to pick people.

The sharpshooter Anguy was also called, and his archery skills may be useful.

The rest were the Hejian people, Ma Ke and his family's seven top fighters, the six cavalry officers from Haijiang City, the eight infantrymen from Darry City, and the [-] elite infantrymen from Bracken's main family.

Including Arthur, a total of 60 people.

Raymond, Hendry, and Patrick also wanted to go, but the former wanted to recruit soldiers, while the latter two were average in force, so they were all rejected by Arthur.

Soros and King Lightning were also rejected by Arthur. They are not from the river, so there is no need to take such a big risk.

Everything is ready to start working in the middle of the night.

……

In the middle of the night, the moon is dark and the wind is high, which is the time to kill and set fire.

The camp robbers in the armor of Lannister light cavalry sat in six small boats, quietly set off from near Harrenhal, and rowed towards the town's dock.

The stars are shining brightly, and the reflected lake is sparkling.

The whole world seems to be left with the sound of people rowing oars.

"For the sake of millions of people, all of us went to the Ten Thousand Army Camp to attack and kill the enemy's commander. It's a good story to tell," Arthur said.

At his feet was the golden Guandao, but it was wrapped in a thick cloth and tied with several lances.

Ma Ke, who was on the same boat as him, pouted, "It would be even better if there was a jug of ale."

Arthur also wanted to drink low-alcohol ale, but he really didn't have the conditions right now.

With this trace of regret, he paddled vigorously.

Soon, everyone rowed to the front of the pier.

From a distance, four or five soldiers from the Western Territory could be seen standing guard on the pier, but they were all sitting on the ground, back to back, and fell asleep with their heads tilted.

"Excellent." Arthur said softly.

In order to reduce the noise, he stretched out his hand to stop the five small boats behind him, and only let himself approach slowly.

After disembarking, Arthur and the nine people on the boat killed the five night watch western border soldiers.

The five boats behind also quickly approached, and everyone from the camp gathered.

In order not to be so conspicuous, the golden Guandao tied to the lance was held by a member of the blood troupe.

After roughly forming two queues, they set off towards Heron Town.

Not far away, they encountered a five-member squad that was watching the night.

The captain of the lion family who led the team was very clever. When he saw so many people dressed as cavalry coming from the pier, he suddenly became suspicious.

Firstly, there are not many light cavalry stationed in the town, and secondly, they are all infantry patrolling the night, and the cavalry are all Lord Tywin's treasures.

"Stop, Lannister." He shouted, trying to confirm the other party's identity with a password.

Arthur, who was the leader, naturally didn't know how to respond, and was embarrassed for a few seconds.

Fortunately, someone in the team responded quickly.

An Gai fired five arrows in two rounds, and all members of the night watch team fell to the ground on the spot.

The camp robbers behind them were naturally clever, and ran up to remove the corpse and dragged it to a corner.

"What to do, we don't know the password." Ma Ke was a little anxious.

Arthur thought for a while, "Don't worry, at least we know that the first half of the sentence is Lannister, and if we meet people, we can always know the second half."

With a wave of his hand, the team that hijacked the camp moved towards the tent area outside the town.

On the way, I naturally encountered the night watch team again.

This time, Arthur asked first, "Stop, Lannister."

"There are debts that cannot be repaid." The team leader replied reflexively.

Arthur nodded and waved his hand: "Yes, continue to watch the night."

Then take people to move on.

The captain who was drunk was a little confused, shouldn't he be the one to ask first?
But these cavalry had already passed by, and the squad leader thought that one more thing would be better than one less thing, so he continued to watch the night as if there was no such thing.

After getting the password, Arthur was full of confidence, and led the people to the tent area outside the town with their heads held high.

The correct password allowed them to go all the way unimpeded and entered the wild camp outside the town.

The largest one in the tent area has also caught Arthur's eyes.

It's just that I met a ten-man night watch lion soldier again.

Arthur's light cavalry attire also attracted attention.

"Password, Joffrey I," asked the leading lion soldier.

"There are debts that are not paid," said Arthur.

It's just that this time the confidence is not enough.

The leading lion soldier became suspicious: "Which of your subordinates? Report your name quickly."

Arthur glanced at the largest tent, which was about fifty or sixty steps away.

Even if this group of people is dealt with, there is still time to run over.

He gestured behind his back with his left hand, and rested his right hand on the big sword Shuoyue at his waist.replied:
"Ser Amory Lodge, our captain is..."

Halfway through the conversation, Arthur drew his sword and slashed at the group.

The people in the back also got a reminder from Arthur, the one who shoots the arrow shoots the arrow, and the one who cuts people kills people.

"Enemy attack~" just reminded the group of night watchmen.

Ten people were quickly cut down.

The surrounding tents didn't respond much, but the lion soldiers in some key positions responded much faster.

Some well-dressed lion soldiers rushed out from many corners.

Arthur swung his sword and shouted, "Protect Lord Tywin."

Then he rushed towards the largest tent.

The camp robbers behind them also shouted "Protect Lord Tywin", and followed Arthur to charge.
