Game of Thrones: Attack on the North Wolf

Chapter 35 Qingting Island Red Wine

Early the next morning, the combined army of Winterfell City began to sort out the supplies in the military tents and prepare to withdraw.

The troops of Winterfell and Karstark were the first to evacuate, followed by the remnants of the village infantry.

Due to the large number of spoils and wounded soldiers, the logistics troops spent the most time, so they set off last.

But it turns out that Roose Bolton is just as Robb expected, even if the logistics troops full of spoils and wounded soldiers are dangling in front of their eyes, he has no idea of ​​going out of the city to attack.

This disappointed the hidden cavalry unit led by Earl Rickard who had ambushed behind the hills in advance.

After marching for half a day, the mighty Allied Army of Winterfell came to the fork in the direction of Stone Iron Town and the direction of Winterfell.

Robb asked Theon and Owen to take more than 3000 bow infantry troops and escort [-] captives to Stone Iron Town.

Although the logistics team brought a lot of food and supplies this time, they couldn't hold up so many mouths to eat.

The tasks he gave Theon and the two were to occupy Stone Iron Town to supply the army, and the second was to collect [-] captives.

Those who are willing to join the Winterfell army will be scattered and incorporated into the village infantry.Those who don't want to just fill them into the miners of Stone Iron Town to mine mineral resources for Winterfell.

On the other hand, Robb led Earl Rickard, Little Jon, Ed and others on the grounds that Winterfell's defense was insufficient and he was worried about changes. Most of the cavalry returned first.

After Robb officially issued the order, the army of Winterfell was divided into two at this fork.

……

On the third night after the siege of the Dreadfort ended, the smell of blood outside the city walls was still strong, and some rotting corpses that had not been processed added to the dark night, a strange feeling that made people feel extremely uncomfortable.

Da da da!
A faint sound of horseshoes awakened the drowsy Bolton defenders on the city wall.

After the troops from Winter City withdrew, their nerves, which had been relaxed a little, became tense again.

A group of three to four hundred cavalry, holding torches and bearing the crest of the Bolton family's skinners, approached slowly. Looking carefully, there were three slow-moving transport carriages among the cavalry.

Although knowing the number and speed of cavalry, it is impossible to have any impact on the high walls of the Dreadfort.

But the officer in charge of guarding the city gate still asked someone to notify Lord Luce.After all, the military law of the Dreadfort is strict, and anyone who is negligent will be severely punished.

"Open the door, I'm back!"

When the cavalry came to the gate of the castle, one of the cavalry raised its head and shouted upwards, avoiding various corpses and remains under the city wall.

The officer guarding the city gate, through the light of the torches lit by the opponent, could tell at a glance that this was Lord Luce's illegitimate son, Ramsay.

"Lord Ramsay, the Dreadfort is now under martial law, and we are not allowed to open the city gate without the order of Lord Luce.

I have sent someone to inform him that he will be here soon, please wait a moment. "

The officer didn't dare to offend this cruel and narrow-minded illegitimate child, and shouted at him in a more polite tone.

Ramsay didn't get angry when he heard that, but nodded with a smile and waited patiently.

After a while, Luce came to the city wall, observed carefully for a while, and ordered the guard officer: "Call three hundred archers to guard the inner city wall. If they commit any misconduct, shoot them immediately.

Then open the city gate to a size that allows carriages to pass through. Except for Ramsay, all soldiers entering the city must disarm at the gate and be temporarily imprisoned. "

Watching the guard officer arrange the deployment after receiving the order, Luce didn't feel that he was too cautious. He had seen too many lies and betrayals.

When Ramsay waited outside the city gate, the smile on his face disappeared, and the gate of the Dreadfort was finally half opened.

Of course, Ramsay had no objection to Luce's arrangement. After being disarmed by the defenders, he was the first to enter the Dreadfort.

"Father!"

As soon as he rode his horse past the city gate, Ramsay saw Luce who was waiting, and he immediately got off his horse and saluted.

"Well, you didn't meet any Winterfell army on your way back?"

Luce nodded in agreement, and immediately asked Ramsay.

"Yes, the scouting cavalry I sent found them in advance at the fork in the road to Stone Iron Town. About 8000 people have already lined up like a long queue to Stone Iron Town.

After they all went to Shitie Town through the fork, we made a special trip to hide for an extra day before we dared to come back. "

Ramsay nodded, and directly described what happened on the road.

"Hey, Stone Iron Town can't be kept. However, as long as we guard the Dreadfort, the Stark family will return twice as much in the future."

Upon hearing this, Lu Si sighed softly, his face was as usual, but there was a hint of sternness in his eyes.

"Father, I received a letter from the Raven before. Isn't the battle going well? How could the battle situation be reversed suddenly?"

"I underestimated that wolf cub. He didn't know when he hid thousands of infantrymen in the military tent. At the same time, he also hid Locke's scouting cavalry, and ambushed nearly [-] cavalrymen behind them."

Hearing Ramsay's inquiry, Luce gave a brief account of the previous battle,
Just talking, he, who has been expressionless all the year round, unexpectedly had a little sad look on his face.

As a well-known battlefield veteran in the northern border, he was still very bitter to be tricked by a young man who had never formally led a war.

"Father, as you said, as long as we defend the Dreadfort, we will have a chance to seek revenge from the Stark family in the future."

Seeing Luce's seldom sad expression, Ramsay immediately comforted him with concern.

"Well, what's in those wagons?"

Luce, who quickly got rid of his emotions, looked at the carriage passing by the gate of the city, and asked Ramsay softly.

"Father, that was a caravan that I looted when I came back, and it was full of high-quality Qingting Island red wine.

These wines are not ordinary. The price in the north is much higher than that in the south. It can be said that it is a flowing golden dragon. "

"Oh? There is even a caravan transporting wine from Qingting Island to the north? Then I have to taste it."

Hearing Ramsay's answer, Luce's eyes flickered, and he spoke softly.

"Father is right, you have to taste it, and I will pour wine for father."

Ramsay replied with a smile, and immediately turned around and called to stop the transport carriage passing through the gate, and asked someone to open a wine barrel on the carriage.

As soon as the barrel was opened, a fragrant wine scent permeated the air.

Luce first sniffed it with his nose, and then looked at the wine barrel with his head. He saw that the pink liquid in the barrel was rippling slightly due to the shock force of opening the lid.

"There seems to be some impurities in this barrel of wine. Come, someone, open this barrel for me."

Luce looked at the barrel and shook his head, looking dissatisfied, causing the soldier to open another barrel he was pointing at.

After opening three barrels in succession, it seemed that he had finally found a wine that satisfied him.Seeing this, Ramsay took out the wine glass from the cargo box of the carriage, and filled the wine for him with his own hands.

"Father, please!"

Ramsay bowed his head respectfully and held the wine glass, offering it to Luce with both hands.
