Game of Thrones: I loaded the witcher system.

Chapter 286 Before the Battle
Lord Tytos Blackwood, in the end, didn't tell Clay the truth.

But it doesn't matter, as long as he haws and haws, Clay already understands what he thinks.

Clay decided that after this battle, he would have a good talk with Lord Tytos Blackwood.

The Tully family is already a disobedient dog. After Clay has used them and eaten all their value, he will definitely not keep them.

Although the Manderly family and the Tully family did not actually have any enmity, but in the end, after all, he wanted to fuse the golden halberd mermaid flag and the black-bottomed red dragon flag together, so he had to fully respect the other side's opinion.

Moreover, since the Hejian land is surrounded by enemies and has no effect in the war, Clay has already formed some plans of his own in his mind on the division of its territory.

"Let's go, don't let the old lion wait for us for too long, someone is already in place, we are too late, it is not very good-looking."

The army was rumbling in, and they were only a few hours away from Harrenhal, and they were almost there.

These nobles in the river land may fish for fish and not work when they are not around, maybe, they still have the idea of ​​killing the five hundred heavy cavalry of Krissen, after all, in their opinion, Clay Man Dele is not with them.

If you just talk about anger, then Clay is more or less a little bit, but right now, Clay doesn't intend to break up with them.

However, since the people in Hejian wanted to protect themselves, Clay had to change his strategy a little bit in this battle.

After all, an army with its own thoughts and minds cannot fight tough battles.

Clay didn't dare to entrust them with the task without the determination to die and survive.

However, he didn't care anymore.

Because, he already felt that in the south, an increasingly intense scorching sensation was rapidly approaching his position. Calculating the time, it would be within a day.

Clay didn't ask why it didn't stay well in the south, because he had to say it was just in time.

The war in the north will actually stop after the Battle of Harrenhal.

It is also an indisputable reality that the northern border and Hejian are separated from each other.

That being the case, then it's time for me to take the stage completely.

After all, he is always hiding behind the scenes, but he is not qualified to march towards the capital in the south.

……

Chrissen chose the second option, using his 400 men to forcefully charge the Lannister north gate siege army with a total strength of nearly [-], although they were unprepared.

He resisted the temptation to capture Tywin Lannister straight away in a fight.

Because, Clay set his goal for this battle very clearly.

Clay doesn't care what to do, but no matter what, Harrenhal must let Harrenhal see the banner of the Mandalay family, kill all the troops in the western border, and force them to stop attacking.

As long as it is guaranteed that Harrenhal will not be captured before the main force arrives, it will be a feat!

The cavalry, who didn't have much time to rest, brandished their long swords and carried heavy lances under their arms, and rushed towards the western border troops who were lined up neatly but all facing south.

This was beyond the expectations of these western troops.

They couldn't understand why there would be an enemy attacking them from the direction of their base camp.

This is a situation that no one would consider when making a war plan.

In the back row, the first to bear the brunt are the siege equipment that has just been removed, as well as the craftsmen responsible for maintaining and launching them.

These people can be said to be unarmed in the true sense. Before the war, most of them were craftsmen in various senses.

Summoned by Tywin Lannister, he worked day and night to build siege equipment, and there were people who were exhausted, suffering unspeakably.

It is pure nonsense to expect them to have any sense of belonging to the Western Territory Army.

If the handle of the knife was not in the hands of Duke Tywin, this group of people would have disappeared long ago.

The first time they saw the Mandalay cavalry, these craftsmen fled in all directions as if frightened.

Krissen didn't specifically go after them, killing them was just a means, not an end.

They have no way to stop and dismantle these precious siege equipment now, after all, they can't use war horses as hammers.

Straight past these neatly arranged siege equipment, Krissen took the lead and rushed towards an infantry phalanx further ahead.

This was a legion that had just suffered a bloody battle at the north gate of Harrenhal and had lost a lot and was withdrawn.

Because the battle is not over, the soldiers can only sit down and rest at most, and disbanding the establishment is not allowed.

Therefore, when they saw Krissen's cavalry, they wanted to resist, but found that, first of all, they couldn't turn around.

These are not scattered soldiers. There is nothing wrong with dodging and maneuvering on the battlefield, just let him be happy.

In order to maintain combat effectiveness, infantry must always assemble into a strict square formation, regardless of whether it is a siege battle or not.

However, this creates a problem, once they are attacked from a direction they have no defense, there is simply no way to fight back.

"Behind! Just behind! There are northerners' cavalry!"

"Tell my lord quickly!"

"Damn! Lord Jazz is not here, what should we do!"

"Counterattack! Counterattack! We can't let them rush over like this!"

"I can't turn around!"

……

In chaos, the commander of this infantry phalanx, when he retreated to the rear to rest, naturally would not stay with the soldiers, but hid himself to rest.

However, once the army of this era loses its commander, the damage to the organization of the entire team is almost devastating.

The soldiers in the back row wanted to turn around to meet the enemy, but the soldiers in the front row didn't know what happened.

Considering how much information can be distorted by person-to-person transmission, it is almost a total disaster in a noisy situation.

When Krissen rushed forward, there were only a dozen soldiers pointing at him with weapons in their hands.

They are all in charge of attacking the city, and what they hold in their hands are all close combat weapons such as short swords. In the face of cavalry...

Almost helpless.

Krissen was not polite at all, he still shot Alder, and after blasting away a few unlucky ones, the armored horse directly crashed into it.

Suddenly, blood splattered everywhere!

The infantry used their thin bodies to fight head-to-head with the full-armored cavalry. Throughout the ages, countless battles tell us that there will only be one result in such a battlefield.

That's where the blood of the infantry flowed like rivers.

This infantry regiment is full of more than 800 people. After a round of siege was withdrawn, there were only less than 600 people left.

With such a small amount of troops, Krissen didn't spend much effort. He led his troops and cut through all the lines of these people directly from the middle.

Under their horseshoes, an unknown number of Western soldiers fell. The remaining infantry soldiers, shrouded in great fear, immediately scattered and fled desperately.

Christen did not choose to pursue them. He had to continue to attack while his own momentum continued, causing more bloodshed to the people in the western region.

He already felt that his magic power was a bit out of gear, after all, he had almost no time to rest.

As for how long he can last, Krissen doesn't know, but if he still has the strength to take a step forward, he will definitely not stop.

……

Clay's banner finally appeared on the battlefield of Harrenhal.

His current position was just west of the North Camp of the Harrenhal Western Territory Army.

And Brynden Tully, who arrived one step ahead of him, and Edmure Tully's army, which came two hours earlier than him, were to his south at this time.

After the army was stationed, Clay sat in his military tent, and after listening to the report of the entire battlefield coldly, he was silent for a moment, and ordered:

"An order to tell all the adults in Hejian Land to come to my place to discuss matters immediately."

"They have been here for so long, they should have had enough rest."

The orderly led the way.

Clay leaned back in his chair, staring at the sand table model of Harrenhal in front of him, frowning slightly, quietly thinking about the situation at hand.

He is waiting for them to come.
