Game of Thrones: I loaded the witcher system.

Chapter 126 One battle will determine the universe, Hejian is my respect
What happened to the five or six thousand Lannister remnants trapped in the encirclement? Clay, who was already heading towards the east gate of Riverrun, had no intention of recalling it.

Although the trapped beast is still fighting bravely, it is a pity that he is soaked in blood, and the final outcome is death.

The Lannister army, unwilling to go down the river, launched their final counterattack. However, facing the northern cavalry armed to the teeth, the counterattack brought by these soldiers who had lost their equipment, organization and courage dissipated more than A wisp of green smoke is even faster.

The rest, about 2000 people, they knelt and surrendered, begging the forgiveness of the northerners, Clay saw the hesitation in the eyes of his soldiers, let them go head-on with the Lannister army, they were fearless .

However, let them massacre one or two thousand unarmed captives who knelt and surrendered. These people who were bound by faith still instinctively refused.

Although they didn't want to disobey the orders of Clay, the Commander who brought them victory.

In this regard, Clay did not force them. Since the simple boys in the north were unwilling to do anything, Clay ordered them to surround themselves and not let them go.

Clay led his subordinates towards Riverrun City. Clay was going to hand over the fate of these Lannister captives to the lord here.

If they survived the "mercy" of Lord Hejian, Clay didn't need to kill them. Therefore, what these captives have to do now is to pray devoutly to the Seven Gods.

There was news just now that the Lannister army on the north bank was suddenly attacked by the Riverrun army while crossing the river. After leaving behind five or six hundred corpses, they retreated hastily, and the Riverrun army couldn't catch up.

Therefore, in this battle, Clay's results are as follows:
In the camp on the north bank, 500 Lannister troops, 500 were killed, and the remaining [-] fled westward.

In the southeast camp, there were 3000 Lannister troops, 300 to [-] people died on the battlefield, and nearly [-] people fled to the southwest.

In the southwestern camp, there were 300 Lannister troops, a total of [-] heads were counted, and more than [-] people fled towards the Golden Tooth City.

In addition, more than 200 people jumped into the raging Red Fork River. As for whether they lived or died, this is something that Clay has no way to count.

Therefore, in this battle, Clay directly killed more than 1000 Lannister troops on the battlefield, ran out a thousand and captured more than 2000, and the Tengshi Hebei Camp with more than [-] troops was blocked. In the north of the Tengshi River, no escape to the south is allowed.

The number of casualties on one's own side has been reported, and it is the same as the battle of Virgin Valley, which is an extremely disparate exchange ratio.

A total of 240 cavalrymen under Clay's troops were killed and more than 100 were injured. Minor injuries were not included in the statistics.

It's not a musculoskeletal injury, but it's still a little sore.

Lannister's desperate counterattack still caused some troubles for Clay's subordinates.

However, in terms of the overall situation of the battle, the situation that Clay is facing now is neither a small good nor a great good, but a very good one.

The [-] cavalry he deployed near the Golden Tooth City are probably impatient to wait now. These rout soldiers who had just escaped from birth thought they could breathe a sigh of relief, but they suddenly met the [-] cavalry who were waiting for work. , What are the consequences, do you even need to think about it?

How many of them survived depends entirely on whether Earl Glover is merciful, but based on Clay's understanding of the Lord Earl, he will bring himself a satisfactory result.

Thinking about it, Clay's horse snorted and stopped. Clay's eyes refocused and he took a closer look. It turned out that the welcoming team from Riverrun City had already arrived in front of his eyes.

Edmure Tully, this unlucky guy, was rescued by Earl Seven in the camp on the southwest side, and sent back to Riverrun at the speed of light. All the nobles of Hejian went out of the city to meet the Commander Clay Mandler, who controls five thousand soldiers from the north.

So in fact, this was the first time Clay and Edmure Tully met, and it was quite a magical thing.

The heir to Riverrun has the iconic reddish-brown hair of the Tully family, and his figure on a horse looks a bit fat. Although the string of reddish-brown beard on his chin makes him look more powerful, but In fact, everyone knew that he had just escaped from the cage.

It was not long ago that Edmure Tully himself learned from the two northern earls who sent him to Riverrun that the battle that allowed him to regain his freedom was a man named Clay Mander. Le's young northern aristocrats plan to command.

Although he is the heir of the duke, and Clay in front of him is only the heir of an earl family in Mandalay, and Edmure is much older than Clay, but in this murderous, blood-stained northern commander In front of him, Edmure couldn't hold any airs at all.

He himself was able to get out of trouble only by Clay's fierce attack. Hejian's status as heir is somewhat useful to Hejian's ordinary vassals. With Clay, Edmure knows that it is not easy to use at all. .

"Lord Clay Manderly, on behalf of the Tully family of Riverrun, thank you for your assistance. Your bravery will surely be celebrated throughout Westeros."

Edmure Tully said politely, although it was impossible for the northerners to take action against them, the 1 Lannister army had just been defeated outside the city, and they were stationed outside the city.

The army in Hejian didn't dare to mess with them. To put it bluntly, the Tully family and the Stark family are related by marriage, but what does it have to do with Clay's Manderly family?
Clay looked at the other party's somewhat cautious look, and thought that the other party had just come out of the cage, so he didn't make it difficult for him, so he nodded:

"As Lord Stark's subject, it is my duty to defeat Lannister. Riverrun is famous for its hospitality. I believe I will have a good afternoon."

Edmure Tully was the heir to the riverland after all, and he immediately recognized the underlying meaning of Clay's words:
As a vassal of Stark, my job is to fight Lannister, saving you is just incidental, don't be sentimental.

This is to ensure the independence of his own army, because Robb Stark is not here, so if the two alliances, Duke Horst Tully can ask his son Edmure Tully to come from Clay He wants to take command of this army in his hand.

But Clay's words now blocked this opening.

I'm not that close to you, the military power belongs to me, Clay Mandalay, you don't want to get involved.

Feeling helpless, Edmure Tully couldn't help it. His character was a bit soft, and he didn't insist on anything. He turned his horse sideways to give way to the passage into the city:

"Lord Clay, please follow me into the city. My father is waiting for your arrival in the main castle. He very much wants to see you, the hero who destroyed the Lannister army of ten thousand in World War I."

In the study, Clay saw the old man who held the title of Duke of Riverrun, head of the Tully family, and governor of the Trident River.

He was too old, and, after that strong spirit, there was boundless weakness. He should have spent the last years of his life lying in bed, surrounded by his children and grandchildren.

However, as the master of Riverrun, he must force himself to put on the most majestic clothes and appear here to support the weak Tully family when his son has been defeated in a row and has become a prisoner and lost his prestige. up front.

"Lord Duke."

Clay saluted. No matter how he said it, the other party was of a higher level than himself, and the two were currently very hard-core allies. Even if he was arrogant, there was no need to show it here.

He was answered by a series of coughing, Lord Hoster Tully's heavy wheezing, which sounded to Clay like a gigantic bellows broken here and there.

The signs of life are gradually disappearing from this old man, which can be seen by everyone.

"On behalf of the warriors of Riverrun, I would like to express my gratitude to Lord Clay."

Seeing that the old duke was speechless for a long time, a tall nobleman standing beside the old duke helped Duke Horst out of the siege.

His voice attracted Clay's eyes, only to hear him continue:
"I am Tytos Blackwood, and in the name of the Duke, I am temporarily in command of the army of Riverrun."

With that said, Clay knew who he was.

This Earl is the owner of Raventree City where Clay was stationed before the Battle of Virgin Valley.

In various senses, this lord's appearance can only be regarded as average. His nose is very large and hooked, his long gray-black hair hangs behind his head, and his gray-white beard is like a steel needle.

Clay noticed that the cloak worn by Lord Tytos Blackwood was very interesting. If he read it correctly, that luxurious-looking cloak should be made entirely of crow feathers.

It would match Raventree and his crest, Clay thought.

"My lord, the war is not over yet. I don't care what to do with the Lannister captives outside the city, but I only have one request. They can't be allowed to go back to the west. Soldiers who have been on the battlefield once are the most precious. wealth."

Earl Blackwood's answer was quite succinct:
"Agreed, very reasonable request."

The first consensus was reached, and it was a good start for Clay, who continued:
"On the north bank of the Tengshi River, there are still more than 2000 Lannister troops fleeing. It's still the bottom line. I don't allow a single soldier to return to the West."

At this time, a Hejian nobleman who was present interjected:

"Then you should send troops to Golden Tooth City instead of telling us here."

"To shut up!"

Edmure Tully and Tytos Blackwood spoke at the same time, and then gave the nobleman a savage look.

Just kidding, now this Clay Mandalay, who they don't know anything about, is the uncle here. It's okay for him to recognize us, but he doesn't recognize us. If there is a Lannister rout in hiding, send troops directly to ransack your castle.

Do you dare to resist?James Lannister used 1 people to defeat 2 of us, and Lord Clay directly hacked to death more than 5000 people on the battlefield with 7000 people.

Calculating in this way, tens of thousands of people in Hejian Land can meet this Clay Mandalay and his army?
Clay simply didn't care about the disrespectful words of these little nobles.

Shaking his head indifferently, Clay was about to say this:
"Before the war started, I had sent Earl Glover of Deepwood Castle to lead 1000 people to ambush near the Golden Tooth City. Therefore, the defeated soldiers from the two camps on the south side should not be able to escape back to the west."

"The crux of the problem is that there are more than 2000 Lannisters in the system. They want to go home desperately. With Earl Glover's 1000 people, I'm afraid it will be very difficult..."
