Chapter 72 Attack
"Sir Florent." Baron Mei Dou called to the captain of the personal guard who was approaching, and all the king's cavalry were under his command.

Geoffrey Florent stopped, "Sir Meadow."

Just coming out of the tower, he was in a bit of indignation.

"My lord, we have stayed in the castle for five days. I still remember the mission the king gave us, but you see." Baron Meidou looked into the tower. "My soldiers are bringing news that people are coming across the river in great numbers. But what is our general doing?"

"I have already persuaded, but our Master Julius seems to be too busy." His eyes flashed disdainful, "Busy with his painting and wine making, I think he should not be a knight, but a painter, Be a winemaker."

"Lord Florent." Mei Dou slightly motioned him to move forward, and the two walked towards a hidden corner of the castle.

"Do you think you can win this battle?" the baron asked the knight.

"Stannis gave him such trust, but what did he do? Occupy the castle and let him collect wine for him. You know the wine that even beggars don't drink. Our Lord Julius also Anyone who comes will not be rejected, just like his lowly status." Baron Mei Dou continued.

Jeffrey seemed to understand the meaning of his words, and asked with a frown, "What do you mean?"

"Ser, you have 300 men under your command, and I have 100 men under my command. I don't think that silver-haired boy wants to serve His Majesty Stannis at all. He is waiting for the army of Highgarden to come and join the enemy." .

"If we tell our soldiers about this, what do you think they will do?" Baron Mei Dou smiled.

Jeffrey showed hesitation.

"We can do more with these cavalry in our own hands, Ser Floren."

The two were walking and talking, when suddenly there was a hurry in front of them, and the whole castle became restless.

Jeffrey stopped someone and asked, "What happened?"

"It's an assembly order, my lord," the man answered him.

Geoffrey and Mei Dou looked at each other, how could they issue an assembly order at this time.

They rushed to the tower, just as Cole came out fully armed.

"So you are here," he said. "I just asked Camillo to gather all the knights, but he said he didn't see you. We just walked and talked."

Cole walked over, and the direction he was heading was the training ground of the castle. "Sir Geoffrey, I need you to muster the cavalry at once."

"Yes, my lord."

"Sir Meidou." Cole glanced at him, "You can stay in the castle from now on."

"My lord, what do you mean?" Baron Mei Dou asked with some guilt. "Do you think my number is too small to be useful?"

"No, you misunderstood, ser. The rest of the battle depends on you."

Baron Meidou looked at Cole's back in puzzlement, but it's okay to defend the city. Anyway, Renly's army didn't have the energy to take care of his castle, and he was happy to relax. When the battle is almost over, he will find Wouldn't it be beautiful for the victor to surrender.

When he walked to the school grounds, Cole looked up at the sky and saw the fish-scale stratus clouds. There should be no rain tonight.

Turning the eyes of the distant sky to the school field, in this era of frequent wars, the school field is almost a must-have building for every castle, a wide open dirt field, and it is crowded with people at this time.

Walking around, looking chaotic, horses neighing, armor clattering.

Cole found his horse in the stable, where his guards had been waiting, Jose and their horses were put together with Cole, and more horses were placed outside the city, and 900 horses gathered before the castle. Inside, it must be crowded and airtight.

He walked over and stroked the horse's neck. It was a brown stallion with a very docile temperament.Pulling the horse out of the stable, and then getting on the horse, Jose and the others quickly gathered around him.

"Master Cole." Jose greeted.

Cole nodded in response.

Jose led the way on horseback, and the cavalry slowly stepped out of the gate of Green Valley City and joined the brigade outside the city.

A whole group of cavalry moved into action, and the smoke and dust raised were in chaos.

Young Lord Elwood Meadow watched as the trail of the cavalry disappeared into the distance of his vision.This Sir Julius, silent about his plans, was said to be the "Lanny" of the field.

In the story, Lenny defrauded Casterly Rock City from the Casterly family with his wits alone without a knife or a sword.

But Mei Dou almost knew what he wanted to do. Leading the cavalry was nothing more than harassing the enemy on the other side of the river. He saw the pictures drawn by Cole. For a person who grew up on the Bran River , that is really too familiar.

You can't win a battle with blueprints alone, otherwise why use knights.

The man in charge of the station at Bitterbridge is Mace Tyrell, Lord of Highgarden, who is jokingly called "Lord Inflatable Fish."He was the father of Loras Tyrell, the Knight of Flowers, and Margaery Tyrell, the Rose of Highgarden.

He had led the siege of Storm's End for a year during the War of the Usurper, the battle for which Stannis was famous.

But now history has come to the same track, it is Highgarden, House Tyrell, and Storm's End.Could it be that the gods want him to wash away his shame and win once?
But their King Renly didn't seem to want to give him the honor of capturing Storm's End. He was very familiar with that castle. It was breached, but Stannis was as stubborn as his temper, and insisted on holding on again and again.

He replayed the battle countless times, and he had broken Storm's End countless times in his heart. He believed that this time it would definitely work, but Renly actually asked him to go to the rear to transport food.

The Duke of Mace is no longer at that capricious age, and it was his king's son-in-law who ordered the order. He has led the army and knows the importance of food to the army. When they besieged Storm's End, they wanted to wait for Stannis to run out of food. Kaesong surrendered like never before.

"My lord, isn't it too risky for us to transport the baggage and siege equipment in one place?" Sir Fertimo Crane said to the Duke.

"Now the troops in the southern border are here with us, where did the enemy come from?" Duke Metz didn't look worried.

He led 5000 men to escort the convoy, of which [-] were Highgarden cavalry.

"Fortimo, after Renly captures Storm's End and King's Landing, I will recommend you to be the commander of King's Landing's garrison." No matter what, this knight has followed him for so many years, and has been serving as the coach in Highgarden. He is someone Mace trusts extremely.

His son is the king's rainbow guard and has won the king's trust, while his daughter is the king's queen.It is not difficult to imagine that Westeros will enter the era belonging to the Tyrell family next.

"Where have we been?" Mace asked suddenly.

"We're almost at the imperial forest, my lord." Fotimo looked at the green forest in the distance.

Mace suddenly laughed, "Rando Tully suggested that we use boats to transport food from the Lamboon River, which can prevent the enemy's cavalry from attacking our convoy on the road, thereby reducing our losses."

"Perhaps, Lord Tully"

"I know he's always been good at leading the battle. He wants to drive the fleet from the Lamboon River into the Wende River and then into the Blackwater Bay. When we attack King's Landing, we can go directly from the Blackwater Bend into the Blackwater River and go straight to King's Landing.

"But he doesn't even look at what season it is. There are quite a few shallow sections of the Wende River that can even be crossed by horseback. How do we sail?"

Fortimo nodded silently, "It seems that Earl Tully will have unexpected things."

"People like to exaggerate some things. They only remember that Randyll Tarly defeated Robert, but they forget my achievements. Just like the 'double Sword Knight Cole', is that the name? It sounds like a stableman.

"I can assure you that he is just a teenage boy. He probably can't hold a sword correctly. Any knight under my command can beat him until he is crying and looking for his mother."

Fortimo laughed, "Stannis let a teenage boy lead the city defense. It seems that he has few available men."

"Haha, I heard that he believed in a new god and handed over his fate to the child and a foreign god. Huh? Do you feel that the light of the setting sun is a bit dazzling?" Mace turned his gaze back.

MD, how can there be any sunset, it is already dark now, it is a fire.

"Your Excellency, it seems that something happened later!" Fortimo reminded him.

"Damn, what's going on." Mace scolded, and he asked the knight beside him, "Who is in charge of patrolling?"

"Ser Mars Mullendoyle," the knight answered him.

"The guy who trains monkeys?"

"Sir Mark Mullendoyle trained the monkeys, my lord."

"I don't care which Mullendall he is, I just want to know, what happened in the end?" Metz said angrily.

Someone soon brought the answer to the Duke of Highgarden, and their caravan was attacked.

Mace asked Sir Fertimo to lead the cavalry to support them, but when they got there, they only saw a mess, with countless luggage scattered all over the place, the corpses of slaves and soldiers, and the burning carriages everywhere.

"What? People have already fled?" When Mace led the brigade to help, he only heard that the enemy had already fled far away.According to the surviving soldiers and slaves, it was a group of extremely large cavalry with torches and some strange bags in their hands. on the convoy.

Someone picked up a bag for the Duke of Metz, and he found that it was filled with liquid. After smelling it, he only felt a strange smell of fermentation.

"What is this?" he asked.

"It's wine, my lord," someone replied.

Mace frowned, "Is this wine?"

"It's not good, my lord. The patrol soldiers came to report that there is an enemy attack from behind." Before anyone could answer him, the news of the enemy attack came again.
