The Glory of the Seven Gods of Ice and Fire

Chapter 5

During the melee, many cavalrymen chose to dismount, but after they dismounted, they found that it was even more inconvenient for them to move without their horses.

On the muddy ground, due to the weight of their own armor, they had to work hard to pull their legs out of the mud every step they took. Previously, the war horses had borne everything for them, but now they had to bear it all themselves.

The light infantry on the opposite side were at home in this environment, and their thin cloth clothes turned into a mobility advantage at this moment. They moved nimbly, which was in sharp contrast to the cavalry who got stuck in the mud every step forward.

The heavily armored knight was suppressed by a group of light infantry. This was an impossible sight in the eyes of the world. Generally speaking, it would only appear to southern knights who were stupid enough to invade the Neck, but it happened.

"Flank, take the flank!"

In the symphony of fighting sounds, Jillian shouted orders. This Lannister had a voice that every commander wanted.

Jillian originally rushed ahead of the other riders, but when he discovered the trench, he immediately slowed down. Looking back, that moment was really thrilling. If there was any mistake, Jillian would be knocked off the horse and trampled by countless horse hooves.

But now is not the time to think about this, there are more important things. On the flank is a land without enemies. It looks quite harmless, but it also means it is very suspicious, but Lannister can't think of that much now. Under Jillian's roar, the Lannister cavalry did indeed move towards the flanks, but when the horse's hooves stepped into the seemingly harmless ground, they fell into it, including the man and the horse.

"Swamp! It's a swamp!"

The fallen horseman said in horror. There were also people who fell off their horses and rolled into the mud in panic. In sharp contrast, several farmers in civilian clothes walked up to the knight with ease as if they were walking on flat ground. Smash his skull open.

Jillian was really panicking now. He never expected that the battle situation would develop like this. The bandits who should have dispersed under the impact of the cavalry were beaten into such a mess.

Some knights even began to kneel down and hand over their weapons to the despised farmers and bandits, surrendering to them, which undoubtedly made Jillian even more panicked.

But Jillian's panic didn't last long, because the bandits had already attacked him.

A man wearing a seven-pointed star cloak smashed a knight's head in front of Jillian. When Jillian was stunned by this scene, two people with seven-pointed stars carved on their heads rushed to his side.

Jillian's first thought was how he was found so quickly, but the problem was obvious. It was just the bad battle situation that made him unable to turn his head for a moment - he was wearing such beautiful armor, like a bright light in the darkness. Same.

The two men didn't hesitate. One hit Jillian hard on the head with the handle of his spear, and the other hit him in the calf with the axe. As a member of the Lannister, Jillian naturally has the best armor in all of Westeros, but the best armor does not prevent him from being defeated.

Jillian was knocked to the ground and his mind was dizzy. He then felt someone pressing on him. Subconsciously, he wanted to touch the dagger. At the same time, he thought in his heart that the other party would poke the sword through the weak points such as the eyes. fear.

However, the dagger on his waist was untied immediately, and then someone hit Jillian's head hard several times. Jillian felt his whole head spinning, and he fainted immediately.

Before he fainted, the thoughts in his mind were joyful, because at least they meant that the person who knocked him to the ground didn't intend to kill him.

.

"Damn it, Jillian!"

Of course, the news of Jillian's capture could not spread so quickly, but it did not affect Tiget's concern for his little brother.

what to do? what to do? Tiget asked himself, while trying to calm down and analyze the current situation.

Although Jillian's cavalry were blocked, it would still take a lot of time for the bandits to eat them. He still had thousands of infantry on hand, so he still had a chance of winning.

But the key is how to make good use of these troops. Tyget thought hard, trying to find a way to break the situation. Think about what Tywin said, calm down, you must be calm.

By the way, the way those bandits retreat! Tiget thought of the key and remembered how the bandits who were originally on the front line retreated to the second line. The King's Avenue, the King's Avenue can be walked.

"The whole army is ordered to advance along the King's Road immediately! There is solid ground there!"

Although Tygett had infantry on his hands, they were all Lannister soldiers after all. They were elite soldiers wearing iron armor and holding the gold of the West. After receiving the order, they immediately accelerated their pace regardless of the fatigue caused by the march.

"It really came."

Watching the Lannister infantry heading towards the King's Road, Hugo was not surprised at all, because this was his plan from the beginning.

Hugo was standing by the King's Avenue. In front of him, many farmers were busy piling carriages on the avenue, and some people were fixing the carriages with nails and chains. Next to them was the melee between knights and sparrows. The oppression brought by the battlefield made some people feel helpless, but under the roar of the chief farmer, they quickly understood what they should do.

Some sparrow brothers are eager to try it. In the eyes of those who believe in the seven gods, this is not a death, but a shortcut to the seventh heaven.

"Snow, the rest is up to you. I don't need you to block the Lannister infantry. I just need to hinder them for a while."

Faced with this obviously arduous task, the farmer leader agreed without any hesitation. Looking at their figures, Hu Ge couldn't help but wonder if he should let the old sparrow do this. Although Snow was loyal, he also gained some The sparrow has strengthened, but it is still not as fearless as the old sparrow.

But this can only be thought of. The presence of the old sparrow on the other side is irreplaceable. Facing so many surging cavalry, without a sea-fixing needle like the old sparrow, it is difficult for Hu Ge to say whether the other side can withstand it.

All we can say is that there is no perfect solution in the world, and the resources at hand are still too few.

While Hugo was worried about gain and loss and went to supervise the construction of another defense line, the Lannister infantry had already driven onto the King's Road and began to attack the carriage defense line.

The farmers behind the carriage used spears and even wooden guns to prevent the Lannister infantry from climbing over the obstacles. It is said that if you are on a high wall, one is against ten. Although the carriage defense line is far from a high wall, it is enough to The courage of many farmers can also increase their combat effectiveness.

The lions relied on their thick armor and rolled over the carriage without fear, but they were often easily hit on the head by an axe, or pierced by a spear into the weak spot of the armor.

"Keep this rhythm, brothers, trap the lions over there! Let them know that we are not easy to mess with!" The farmer's powerful voice echoed in the ears of the farmer and the sparrow. Snow's voice was very powerful and very powerful. It gives people a sense of security and makes many people fight harder, trying to kill Lannister one by one.

According to their prior training, they tried their best to stab and slap the Lannister infantry together. The power formed made these heavy infantry unable to get close and unable to move forward for a while.

However, morale cannot change the equipment gap. After all, it is the lion who relies on his thick armor to kill the farmers and sparrows. What followed was a brutal close-quarters fight, with both sides using daggers and axes to fight head-to-head.

In this kind of battle, the training and equipment problems of the farmers and sparrows were immediately highlighted. In front of the Lannister's steel swords and armor, the farmers' commoners were so weak.

The Lannister sergeants were killing farmers one by one like a massacre. This scene reminded them of the looting of King's Landing, but the citizens of King's Landing were weaker than these farmers.

"Hold on! Don't panic, God's Favored One is standing here with us, the Seven Gods are favoring us!"

The strong Snow was holding a short spear. He penetrated the chain mail on a lion's neck, and roared when the man fell. The blood stained the farmer's body red, making him look heroic.

But it is a pity that most farmers are not as brave and powerful as him. In fact, if the sparrows had not been on the front line without fear of life and death, the front line would have collapsed long ago.

At this moment, arrows were suddenly shot from the forest flanking the King's Road. They accurately hit the heads and necks of the Lannisters, causing a lot of panic for a while and alleviating the panic of the farmers and sparrows. pressure.

These archers are Hugo's masters. They have been waiting in the forest from the beginning just for this moment. However, no matter how hard the archers try to pull the string, dozens of people are still not enough compared to thousands of people. They can only harass, and the trouble they bring to the lion is very limited.

As the casualties increased, Snow also gathered the farmers and retreated, while the sparrows fought to the end. If it weren't for their hard work, the chief farmer would not have been able to gather his men so calmly.

Many farmers had fear written on their faces. If it weren't for Snow, a man who had great prestige among the villages and his reputation as the God's Favorite, they would have run away by now.

But Lannister's condition was also very bad. The march had consumed a lot of energy, and he had just experienced such a fierce battle. To make matters worse, there was a defense line composed of carriages in front of them. The defenders had messy armor and looked like a group of bandits.

"Keep going! Defeat them all in one go!"

Tiget knew the principle of going all in one go, so he did not hesitate, raised his sword and came to the front. The moment he showed his head, an arrow hit his helmet. Although it bounced off immediately, it was still Tiget felt frightened, but he did not retreat or be timid.

Compared to what they faced just now, the defenders on this line of defense were very weak. The lions easily overturned the carriage, and the defenders immediately retreated after being chopped down about ten people. This line of defense was fluttering. Lannister flag.

Seeing the enemy retreat, Tiget felt that the enemy was at the end of its rope.

However, when he saw the Lannister soldiers beside him, his expressions darkened. They had won many battles, but they themselves were also more exhausted. Many soldiers were holding on to their spears to catch their breath, and many more were exhausted. He continued to fight while holding his breath. As soon as his breath relaxed, he would basically be unable to continue fighting.

However, it seems that the bandits no longer have the strength. The next battle is the final stage, and as they make progress on the King's Road, the knights who were once suppressed and unable to raise their heads no longer retreat.

Thinking of this, the gloom in Tiget's heart immediately decreased a lot, and then he made further arrangements, "Send people to drive away the archers in the forest. If everyone gathers your strength, as long as we take one step forward, we will Victory, after victory, everyone will be rewarded by the Lannister family. Everyone, we Lannister have always..."

"Hey! Fools, look here!"

Before Tyget could finish saying "Lannister debts must be paid," a sudden shout interrupted him.

Following the source of the sound, the lions saw a knight with a seven-pointed star on his shield roaring towards them. Behind him were armored elites and two waves of enemies that had been repelled previously.

Hugo was the one who rushed at the front. He killed a Lannister sergeant who had not yet reacted with one strike of his sword. When the blood was spilled, his sword immediately cut off the spearman's head, and then another A swordsman.

Hugo's appearance when entering the battle was extremely wild. Under his open-and-close fighting style, he immediately tore a hole in the Lannister's line, and the warriors who followed him immediately rushed in and continued. Open the front.

As the spearhead of the assault, his quick reactions and powerful strength allowed him to dodge constant attacks while killing the lions efficiently.

There is a soldier holding a black sword next to Hu Ge. He is efficiently cooperating with Hu Ge's attack. He holds a black sword in his hand. Many soldiers will be stunned subconsciously when they see the black sword. On the battlefield, This moment is enough to change the outcome of the battle.

The elites of the reserve team proved that they were worthy of everything they received. These people were selected from brutal battles. They were the foundation of Hugo's establishment and the old camp that he could never abandon.

They slaughtered the tired lions just like the lions slaughtered the farmers before.

The Lannister was beaten back steadily for a while, and the soldiers who experienced three consecutive waves of attrition began to become timid. The constant fighting made them physically and mentally exhausted, and now they were still facing such a murderous god.

As a result, some people ran away, and some were unwilling to continue fighting. They dropped their weapons and ran away without looking back. More smart people slowed down their progress and paid more attention to what was behind them.

Seeing this, Tyget was also anxious. He quickly turned his horse's head and wanted to catch these deserters. He knew very well that the deserters could not control what would happen - Tywin had warned them countless times.

It was also at the moment when he looked back that Tiget suddenly felt a strong wind coming, making him turn his head uncontrollably.

The next moment, he was hit on the shoulder by a long sword thrown at him, and he rolled off his horse. He felt that the power of the ballistae on King's Landing was no more than that, and the intense pain caused him to pass out.

Seeing this scene, Hu Ge, who had thrown the long sword, finally breathed a sigh of relief. He was really grateful that this guy was shouting there, otherwise it would be difficult for him to spot him with his inconspicuous armor.

Then, Hu Ge pulled out another sword from the corpse next to him. It happened that his original sword had been severely worn due to constant chopping and could no longer be used.

Hu Ge's side was still a melee battlefield, Tiget's armor was not conspicuous, and it would take time for the news to spread.

The battle isn't over yet.
