Game of Thrones: I loaded the witcher system.

Chapter 231 The dead friend is not dead

People always have a purpose in doing things. Gu Di's participation in the war this time is actually based on the principle of gaining a vote in the war. Coupled with Littlefinger's advantage of the situation, the attack plan is fully formed.

But the problem is that not all families in the valley want to go to war. In fact, their internal differences are quite serious.

War is the continuation of politics, and politics is the exploitation of one group of people to satisfy another group of people.

It's all about making money, but everyone chooses different ways.

In the eastern part of the valley, headed by the Grafson family in Seagull Town, the attitude has always been that the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms outside are free to fight, and we valley people only need to do business to earn money. It is not good to fight and kill.

The reason why Grafson dared to do this was because they were backed by one of the largest ports in the Seven Kingdoms, and Seagull Town under their rule was also considered to be the most populous place in the Seven Kingdoms.

Just relying on the collection of commercial taxes for ships passing through the port, the Grafson family can eat a lot of food. Under such a major premise, how could they have the motivation to bring their own troops and fight desperately?

Picture what?
Although there are many families on the Five Fingers Peninsula, almost only the Grafson family can really enjoy the trade dividends. Even the Royce family in Runestone City, which is very close, can't get anything.

Therefore, under this premise, the group of giants in politics and dwarfs in the valley are trying their best to promote the valley to participate in the war, because only by participating in the war can they gain more benefits.

It is always faster to snatch something than to make it yourself. Everyone understands this truth.

But before, Lysa Tully had always been a staunch peace faction, or...an ostrich faction, and she didn't care about things outside the Blood Gate, didn't care about this, and didn't care about that.

Jon Royce and other nobles tried their best to advocate war, but helplessly, they couldn't surpass Lysa Tully.

After Lysa Tully died in the Eagle's Nest City, there was no one to restrain them, which completely opened the floodgates for their attack. Coupled with the wonderful performance of Lord Roose Bolton, the attack in the valley was directed at the allies in the last war.

But even so, their conflicts still exist, and with the war, they get deeper and deeper.

The family that wants to do business thinks, damn it, I am being coerced by you militants, and I don’t have the command of your own army, and you still send my people first every time there is a war.

When distributing the spoils, you didn't distribute them properly, and each of you was patronizing yourself.

This happened not once or twice, so the valley nobles headed by the Grafson family were full of anger.

On the other hand, Jon Royce and others of the main combat faction believe that these masters and dispatched workers are not active, and they are not active in fighting and charging, so they are full of complaints.

The North Camp and West Camp this time are the concentrated expression of this contradiction.

In the North Camp, there are basically all the direct troops of Jon Royce. When the Earl of Runestone City went north to chase Clay, he almost emptied the camp.

The troops entrenched in the West Camp are mainly from the Lindley family in Snakewood City and the Grafson family in Seagull Town. They are also regarded as peacemakers in the valley, and they have a close relationship with Earl Petyr.

Jon Royce arranged them to the most dangerous west, and kept forcing them to attack the city in the previous war, causing the loss of many people in Snakewood City and Seagull Town.

Therefore, when Jon Royce led his people away, Jon Lindley of the Snakewood City army immediately began to counterattack.

The conflicts between the two sides continued, starting from the water source, food and other issues, and even evolved to the point of drawing swords.

If Clay came a little later, maybe they could fight themselves.

Hearing the news of the arrival of Clay's army, the commander of the North Camp, as the siege army appointed by Jon Royce, immediately ordered the troops of the West Camp to reinforce the North Camp.

However, Xi Daying's reaction was also very real, and it can be summed up in one sentence.

Wash up and sleep, don't dream.

Why didn't you think of us when you divided the spoils?Why do we always go first when attacking the city?

If it weren't for the pressure from that old guy, Jon Royce, would we people pay attention to you?

Now, you still want to transfer us to your camp, let us serve as cannon fodder for you people under the attack of Clay Mandalay, how is it possible, do you really think we are easy to bully?

So, when Clay defeated the horse farm garrison and led his troops to the foot of Shili City, he saw this strange scene that he couldn't understand, and it made him fall into deep confusion for a while, because he couldn't understand the logic of the Valley people.

After giving the order to attack, Clay remained cautious, keeping an eye on the direction of the Western Camp, holding a reserve team of 200 people in his hands, in case the Western Camp suddenly ate smart beans and went out to find trouble for himself.

However, with the 1000 people charging forward, they were divided into three formations, and they attacked the Beida Camp from three directions together, but the Xi Daying did not respond at all.

Clay was convinced that he didn't know whose prediction he had predicted in this wave. In short, it was another day of going back and forth with the air.

……

The battle went very smoothly. Clay didn't give the valley people in the North Camp any more time to dig a ditch. The two cavalry phalanx on the left and right went around directly, and only three unlucky cavalrymen who launched an attack in the middle were tripped.

This group of non-professional infantry took time to defend, but in fact it did not play any role at all. If I had to say it, it gave some psychological comfort, which was better than nothing.

The cavalry rushed in, and the valley people only resisted for 10 minutes before they fled and broke up, screaming all kinds of names, mixed with strange curses that revealed their own quirks.

Clay's cavalry didn't get used to these guys. The hearty battle before had regained the confidence of these Hejian people who had been defeated before.

It turns out that we can win the battle too!

Then why can you win as soon as you follow Lord Clay, but you couldn't win before?
Although I have not received systematic education, everyone's control variable method is obviously well learned.

As a result, poor Lord Edmure Tully once again suffered the collective contempt of everyone, and the title of God of War in Hejian was well deserved.

No blood flowed, because less than a quarter of the people were killed, and the rest of the surrounded guys surrendered.

No one is against their own fate, which is not to say that there are horses to run.

I can't run, I can't fight, what can I do?
The first guy with a face full of fear dropped the long sword in his hand and knelt down in the mud, and then a chain reaction occurred. When Clay rode his horse and came close, there was a large area kneeling in front of him.

This is the normal state of the battlefield with cold weapons. Basically, if one side loses more than 20.00% of its staff, the system will collapse.

The few battles Clay fought in the past were basically encirclement and annihilation battles with constant bloodletting, so this law has become invalid.

But if the number of people is equal, if you want to fight a rout, this law has been tried and tested.

This is the normal state of the army in this era. After all, everyone is afraid of death. Seeing the arms and legs of his comrades in arms and legs, and the blood spurting from his throat splashing on his face, if he is not afraid at all, it can only show that this person is a lunatic.

"Master Clay, we caught this guy, he should be a nobleman, he wanted to take our horse and run away, but he was blocked. Some of the soldiers heard that this man was called Sir Royce."

Two tall and thick Hejian soldiers threw a brown-haired young man into the mud pit trampled by the horses.

The nobles who are defeated are automatically downgraded. This is a knight before, so don't expect the soldiers in Hejian to treat each other with courtesy.

"You despicable Hejian native, launching a sneak attack on my army is not honorable at all. Untie my hand and let me fight you!"

The young valley nobleman shouted, and the words in his mouth made Clay seem like a lifetime away.

No, he hasn't heard such a stupid speech for a long time.

Clay pulled out his riding whip, and asked in a calm voice:
"They call you Sir Royce. Are you, then, the son of Jon Royce?"

"Don't you want to know! You..."

The whip tore through the air, let out a burst of crackling, and then slammed Sir Royce's unbelievably pretty face.

Suddenly, a bright red bloodstain appeared.

Clay actually saved his strength, otherwise, with the strength of his hand, this whip will disfigure this little knight for life.

To Clay's surprise, the little jazz was quite tough. After being whipped, he didn't make any contemptuous screams other than covering his face and gasping for air.

Much better than the previous Royce Covat.

Clay waited for a while, without any waves in his voice, and continued to ask:

"Tell me your name, my patience is limited, Valeman."

"Whether to die here or live, you choose yourself, but remember, there is no second time."
