Game of Thrones: I loaded the witcher system.

Chapter 227 Organized Robbery
Regardless of the unlucky Jon Royce who was still panting and painfully on the way, after Clay's army rested, he led a thousand and five hundred cavalry and quickly marched towards the southwest near Stone Ledge City.

Originally, Clay sent out the remaining three demon hunter personal guards, as well as the elite sentinel cavalry honed in the previous war, and he had 500 people. No matter how you look at it, he would fight more and less. If the opponent knew it in advance, then there would be no need to fight this battle.

But soon, Clay knew that this time, he was fighting wits with the air.

All the way south, the army had already appeared behind a hill not more than [-] miles northeast of Shili City. It was not until this position that his scout hunting team finally saw the scouts on the opposite side, not many, just two.

Hearing this news, Clay could only be stunned to himself. People in the Valley don't like to use scouts when they fight. Although every army has its own style, don't you guys disrespect me a little bit by doing this?
In fact, Clay was wronging these valley people, because until now, they did not think that Clay Manderly would break through the blockade of the five thousand cavalry commanded by Eoin Royce, and the magic soldiers appeared behind them.

Since there is no threat, why spend time and effort doing scout patrols? Even if there is, after a few days of seriousness, once you feel that you are safe, it will inevitably become perfunctory.

It's just that it is an extremely irresponsible behavior to be perfunctory on the battlefield.

And there is a price to be paid for this behavior.

"My lord, it has been found out that the valley people's horses gather in a small valley to the south of us. There are about [-] cavalry patrolling back and forth, but they all seem to be quite slack."

Krissen led his sentry team, and after reconnaissance, he quickly left the area to prevent the opponent from discovering it in advance.

"This is 300 horses. The Valley people sent [-] people to watch? If you don't rob them, I'm sorry for their defensive arrangement that should be dragged out and beheaded. I really don't know how His Majesty Rob lost to such a group of people."

There was someone close to Clay, who was speechless and full of emotion when they heard the information from Krissen.

Clay obviously agrees with what he said. The Valley people's defense is so poor...it almost makes Clay think that there is an ambush in front of him, waiting for him to dive right in.

If he didn't know very well that the idiot Jon Royce was far away from him, he wouldn't dare to think about these war horses.

After thinking about it and confirming that there is no military presence around him that could threaten him, Clay made a decisive decision and directly issued an attack order:
"Order! 500 people under the leadership of Sir Chrisson, directly attack the three hundred Lords of the Valley who are leisurely and leisurely. You must kill them before the opponent forms an formation, and completely break them up for me. You don't want to kill the enemy, just to defeat them, understand?!"

"Your will! Lord Clay!"

"In addition, send another 200 people to collect the war horses in the valley, and select those who are familiar with war horses. Once the horses are frightened by the battle, you must calm them down as soon as possible to prevent the horses from escaping."

"Yes sir!"

Clay glanced at the direction of the Valley people with piercing eyes, and said loudly:
"In the end, I will lead the remaining 800 people to cut off the connection between the Maqun Station and Shili City, and prepare for possible counterattacks from the enemy. You must speed up your pace. That's it. Does anyone still not understand?"

The captains who received the order roared in unison:
"I understand!"

"Well, carry out the order, remember, you are my soldiers now, don't give it to me, embarrass yourself!"

"set off!"

……

Clay used cavalry, the most important thing is a fast word, taking advantage of the opponent's unprepared situation, launching a thunderous blow, completely defeating the opponent.

It was the case in the Battle of Riverrun and the attack on the barracks of the Lannister besieging army, and it was the same in the upcoming battle for horses. Since the people of the Vale missed such a big loophole for themselves, in line with the principle of taking advantage and not taking advantage of the bastard, Clay decided to vote.

Drunkard's Valley, the gathering place for the northern horses of the Valley Cavalry.

Baron Royce Cowart was coming out of the tent with a satisfied face.

The people in Hejian are not very good at fighting, but in this countryside, they can still find women of good quality.

Just now in the tent, the appearance of wanting to refuse but still being conquered by himself little by little brought great pleasure to the Baron of the Valley who was loyal to the Royce family.

"Well... I should have had enough fun outside before I go back after that idiot Edmure Tully is dealt with."

He muttered a few words, and thought about the powerful wife at home, not to mention ugly and fat, but also very lenient every day.

These days following Lord Jon Royce to fight the Blood Gate, Baron Cowart can be regarded as letting go of himself, and now he feels very good.

When he was in a good mood, everyone was naturally pleasing to the eye. Baron Royce Cowart squinted his eyes and wandered around. He saw a little knight who had been busy with himself.

Seeing the baron come out, the middle-aged knight hurriedly bent down, bowed forward with a flattering expression, and whispered:

"My lord, are the people in good condition this time? If you are not satisfied, I will take the brothers to run a little further. Although the damn trout guy ordered everyone to evacuate, there will always be fish that slip through the net, right?"

Baron Royce Cowart was a little moved by his subordinate's proposal, but after thinking about it, he still waved his hand.

"Forget it, Lord Jon should have won the battle, and now he probably has to go back. The Earl doesn't like this. If he sees it, I will inevitably be scolded."

After licking his chapped lips, the baron patted the middle-aged knight's shoulder, grinning and saying:
"Go ahead, this village woman in Hejian rewarded you right now, but ah, use it lightly, Lord Baron, I might have to rely on this woman to resolve my loneliness, understand?"

Looking at his subordinate who tried his best to hide his eager expression, Baron Royce Cowart waved his hand, then kicked the knight's leg, signaling the other party to go to work quickly and stop pretending.

With the exception of very few troops in this era, as long as the army is stationed, it will definitely attract some professional women who will cool down the bloody soldiers in the barracks.

These were not temporarily collected from nearby villages, but formed a kind of semi-industrialization. Where there is an army, merchants who smelled the smell, pulled these professional teams in horse-drawn carts and came to the barracks.

How should I put it, this is an organized sale of that stuff, which was kept in Clay's memory, and it was locked up without any discussion.

However, in this era, there is no such concern. For example, when Robert besieged Pike City and the Usurper War, the Tyrell family besieged Storm's End, and the seafood business in the barracks has always been very hot.

After all, if tens of thousands of men gather together, if the commander does not want the soldiers below to know each other's strengths, they must allow such things to exist.

But right now, here in the valley, because Edmure Tully implemented a thorough policy of fortifying the walls and clearing the country, and the northern army was newly defeated, and the valley army was unable to strangle them all, so there were large and small routs everywhere.

The merchants naturally did not dare to come, after all, the life of the golden dragon is not important.

But this also caused the army at the bottom of the valley that besieged the three eastern cities to be unable to release themselves as much as they wanted.

This is why there is a baron who can give a village woman as a reward to his knights, and the reason why the knights don't dislike it at all, but they are so impatient.

Humming an obscene ditty, while reminiscing about the feeling in the tent just now.

Baron Royce Cowart wandered around and walked towards the north of the 300-man garrison.

There was a flock of fat sheep raided by the soldiers, and the baron decided to pick one and roast it carefully at night to make up for his lost kidneys.

Although fine and dense snow has already drifted in the sky, falling in the baron's messy hair, bringing an uncomfortable chill, but the baron's interest has not diminished in the slightest.

When they came to the sheepfold, the fat sheep huddled together seemed to know that the man standing by and staring at them was a demon who was about to take their lives. They bleated softly and tried to get down low, trying not to be noticed by the baron.

At this moment, Royce Kowatt, who was wondering who his prey was, suddenly caught some unusual sounds from the wind.

It seemed to be...the loud shouts, with inexplicable excitement, and...the sound of horseshoes!
