Game of Thrones: I loaded the witcher system.

Chapter 225 Your Excellency Takes You to Get Rich
In fact, when Clay made a feint and tricked Jon Royce away, the entire army in the three cities of the Riverlands was already dead in his eyes.

They didn't know how to be infantry at first, and now they are still kept in the dark, not knowing that the wolf kiss from the north has been delivered to their throats. Such an army, if they don't kill them severely, they will be sorry for their performance.

Therefore, when Clay crossed the Red Fork River for the second time, his war target had changed from the thousands of dismounted valley people to the valley warhorse that he had always been thinking of.

War horses are different from ordinary horses. They are well-trained. On the battlefield, they will not throw their owners to the ground just because they are shot with an arrow.

Moreover, their stamina, sprint speed, including their own physique, etc., are much stronger than ordinary horses.

It can be said that the value of a good war horse can be compared to three or four ordinary horses, and the annual expenditure is very high. If there is not enough funds, this horse alone can eat people alive.

This thing is basically monopolized by the nobles, and the common people can't afford it at all. Therefore, apart from the several guardian dukes, who focus all their specialization on the cavalry, rely on trade means to obtain wealth, and invest a large part of them in the cavalry construction, none of them can form tens of thousands of cavalry groups.

There is no other reason, but it is too expensive. According to the way of war recruited by the nobles, these horses are usually raised by the people below. This is a huge economic pressure for these horse breeders. Without support, it is impossible to play.

After waiting for a long time, Clay waited on the shore of Shaman's Beach to arrive at the team of Chrisson who was galloping. The boys were full of energy, and some even belonged to the category of smiling.

Krissen came to hand over orders to Clay. This was the first time he led the army alone. It was completely different from the feeling of going south and north with Lord Clay before. How should I put it, this feeling is more exciting.

"Master Cray, according to your instructions, I have done enough to show that we have already crossed the north. Also, my subordinates made their own claims. After passing, I gave the Valley people two directions, and made marks for them to see."

The corner of Clay's mouth twitched slightly, you kid still dislikes that old guy, Jon Royce, who is not dizzy enough, and insists on making it difficult for the old man, tsk, who taught this kind of subjective initiative?

It's not me anyway!Yes, it must not be me!

He patted Chrisson's shoulder vigorously. Clay's face, which had been tense all this time, finally showed a rare smile. There was no one under his command. This was the most intuitive feeling for him from this war.

It's not that he is really unavailable. In the last war, some of the northern nobles who fought with him were his right-hand men, and they were still very capable.

But the problem is that most of this group of people were killed by Rob Stark's stupidity in the north of Harrenhal. Clay led the war against the valley alone this time, and found that there were not many soldiers under his command.

It's not his own family, Sir Marlon's beard is all white, and he still has to be recruited by him to work as a coolie. It is really hard for him to lead the [-] troops going south.

As a last resort, he could only let an original special forces unit like Krissen to drive ducks into the shelves and forcefully take the position of commander.

"Okay, let's take a break. I'll give you two hours to drink water. The food is ready for you. After you've eaten and drank enough, tell your brothers that Master Clay Manderly will take them to get rich."

"Get rich? What do you mean, my lord?"

"Get out, you'll know when you get there, and hurry up to convey the order to Lao Tzu!"

……

On the other side, in the small town of Earl Harroway, where the smoke had just subsided, Sir Marlon Manderly set up a large tent for the Chinese army in the north of the town.

The reason why he set up the headquarters here is because the north is next to King's Road, even if it is really impossible to fight, this place is the best place to escape.

He was thinking about Clay, but he didn't expect that Clay didn't plan to take over this army himself at all.

"My lord, all the remnants of the valley army in the city have been wiped out. According to your order, no one will be left behind."

A knight from the Manderly family came to the headquarters and reported the news to Sir Malone.

Among the 9000 people, 2000 elite cavalry are actually the foundation of maintaining this army. If they are not there, the savage army will have a twisted mind, and the [-] recruits will be panicked.

Sir Marlon knew this very well, so the army moved not far north of Earl Harroway's town, and he directly ordered the Manderly family cavalry to launch a fierce attack.

The Valley people stationed here were totally unprepared. They only persisted for less than an hour in the dark and then retreated across the board. Then, brandishing their blood-stained swords, the cavalry of the Mandalay family rushed into the logistics center of the army.

At daybreak, Sir Malone ordered four thousand recruits to go to the battlefield as a logistics distribution center for the army. There were a lot of people in the valley here, and two thousand long swords couldn't kill them all in a short while.

Therefore, these four thousand recruits who had never been on the battlefield just went in to clean up the battlefield, and made up for the fish that slipped through the net. After seeing blood, they were not so afraid when they really went to the battlefield.

The victorious Mandalay family cavalry only paid the price of less than 100 people, so they still have the energy to continue to pursue.

The people in the Valley mainly ran in two directions, east and west. To the west was to find the army stationed by Jon Royce, and to the east was to return to the hometown of the people in the Valley, because the Blood Gate was in that direction.

Regarding this situation, Sir Marlon did not hesitate at all, and directly ordered:

"Leave all the enemy troops fleeing to the east, and strangle all the enemy soldiers retreating to the west. If you can kill one by one, if you see the enemy army coming to rescue, don't love to fight, and return here immediately."

Sir Marlon knew very well that he had no way of chasing after fleeing into the valley. Secondly, he also hoped that these guys could pass the news of the defeat back to the valley. The order that Lord Clay gave him before was to attract the opponent's attention to come here as much as possible.

He faithfully carried out Clay's will, chasing east and west, which is the product of this logic.

The recruits began to enter the battlefield, and soon, some of them were made to vomit continuously by the bloody corpses, and some who had seen the dead also turned pale and their throats kept constricting.

Before the attack, Sir Marlon repeatedly emphasized to his cavalry that this attack should not be held back, and that the blood of the people of the valley should be used to commemorate the remnants of the dead soldiers of the northern army north of Harrenhal.

As a result, the two thousand cavalry who completely let themselves go turned Earl Harroway's small town into a complete Shura field, and every sword would spurt bright red blood.

Some of the remnant soldiers in the valley who had escaped in the corner were found out by the recruits who entered the city. As a result, fierce hand-to-hand combat broke out again. The recruits were inexperienced in the battlefield. Even if there were many people, they would have suffered some casualties in the initial panic.

But in the end, when they overcame their fear and chased after them and killed the remnants in the valley who were already terrified, their mentality quickly stabilized after fighting the trapped beasts, and they began to spontaneously form groups to strangle the entire town.

For the army of more than 3000 wildling captives, Sir Malone directly ordered them to start digging trenches outside the town.

What are you digging a ditch for?

Of course, the soil was dug out and piled up to form walls of soil.

Next to a ditch, there are two walls, which circulate in turn.

No way, Earl Harroway's town itself has no walls, which is not conducive to defense at all. Although Earl Wyman gave this army enough equipment after coming out of the Twins, if they cannot withstand the first wave of attack, more equipment will only be cheaper for others.

In this way, it took a day, 300 recruits, and after paying more than [-] casualties, most of which were wounded, the entire town was completely cleared, and a considerable amount of food and equipment was seized.

Then, Sir Malone sent the remaining 3000 people to dig the soil.

Clay had discussed the situation of the entire battlefield in Riverrun with him before he left, and he knew who his enemies were.

Therefore, his requirements for engineering are very strict.

So, without anyone noticing, a strange earthen city rose up little by little.

And when its enemies really saw the whole picture of this earthen city, they regretted it at that time, but it was a bit late.

After all, there is no place to buy regret medicine in this world.
