Dominate the Game of Thrones with Mount and Blade

Chapter 93 Battle of Heron Town

The main entrance to Harrenhal.

Parked next to the thirty or so mounted guards were seven or eight horse-drawn carriages and bullock carts.

Mrs. He'an glanced to the west and said, "Still not here. The cavalry from the Western Region has not arrived at Heron Town yet. Should we leave later?"

Richard, the steward, looked at his elderly master anxiously, "Just get on the carriage and run away. The Lannister spies have all appeared in front of Heron Town openly. If you don't run away, I'm afraid they won't be able to escape. The cavalry of the Western Territory Not all of them are nobles, so I’m afraid you won’t get better if you fall into their hands.”

"I still think we can wait. I don't know why, but Bracken looks very reliable." Mrs. He'an was tired of standing, so she sat down on the low stool on the carriage.

Richard was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, and the guards around him helplessly looked at his gradually fainting lord, shaking their heads and smiling bitterly.

"I'm really impressed by you. It's burning my ass, but you're still so leisurely."

Richard complained repeatedly, but still could not urge his lord to lift his butt and get on the carriage.

At this moment, there was a slight vibration on the ground.

"Get in the carriage quickly, Tywin's cavalry is coming." Richard was shocked. He didn't think about why the advance cavalry from the West came so quickly. He directly helped the old woman's armpits, thinking of carrying her into the carriage.

Mrs. He'an sat down to relax for a while, came back to her senses, glanced at the shaking North, and felt relieved.

"Richard, these are the cavalry from our Hejian people. That Arthur has brought people to rescue me."

Richard was slightly startled, turned to the north, and saw that it was indeed the cavalry from the Riverlands: "Lord Edmure has sent people to rescue us. The Tully family are real relatives."

Minissa Tully, the wife of Lord Hoster of the Tully family, is from the He'an family. Although Mrs. He'an and she are just sisters-in-law, in terms of kinship, the Tully family is the closest to the He'an family.

The Steward of Harrenhal squinted his eyes and recognized the banner of the incoming army.

"The silver eagle flag with a purple background, the black peasant flag with a rice dumpling background, the four-pointed flag with black dragon and golden eyes, and the four-pointed flag with green dragon and white tower. The people who came are the Mallisters, the Darry family, the Traveling City Vance, and the Alan City From Vance’s family.”

While thinking about it, he sighed:

"It seems that Lord Edmure has not forgotten you as my aunt. After all, relatives are the only ones who are useful. That Arthur is not reliable at all."

Mrs. He'an shook her head and did not refute her manager. She insisted in her heart that it was the young man Arthur who came.

…

The majestic Harrenhal stands in the distance. From a long distance away, you can clearly see the five huge towers reaching into the sky.

As he rode on horseback and observed the surrounding situation, Arthur felt depressed for a while.

He had previously thought about changing his flag, but always forgot.

This small mistake was revealed in the rescue operation.

The cavalrymen of each family were flying their own flags, which made the farmers seen along the road proud.

He is the leading general, but he doesn't even have a flag. This is not okay.

He can't do anything to defeat the soldiers in the west, and his reputation will be given to these families.

Fortunately, there should be a small workshop such as a dyeing workshop in Heron Town, so getting him a flag would not be a big problem.

The pattern is slightly changed from Bracken's original flag of gold, shield and red horse.

The golden shield turned into a golden sword, and the red horse turned into a giant horse covered in golden armor.

These are the two traits that Arthur is currently best known for.

After riding for a while, they finally arrived at the bottom of the huge Harrenhal.

From a distance, Arthur saw that Mrs. Hean was ready to escape.

"Hey, I'm here on time." Arthur took the lead and rushed to the castle gate, shouting to the people of He An's family.

When Mrs. He'an saw that the person she expected was coming, she looked happy: "It's quite on time. You told us to wait for three weeks, but you came on the 22nd day."

Arthur shook his head helplessly, "Isn't it that the Magic Mountain is too good at running away? I chased him from here to the middle section of the Red Fork River. It took me three and a half days, and then another eight days of pursuit, before I found him near the Pink City. , and then he killed Clegane. It took him another five days to go to the Golden Tooth City, and then took a boat all the way from Riverrun. It took four days on the water and one and a half days on the land. He rushed slowly before he came to the rescue. you."

He jumped off the horse and walked to Mrs. He'an and Richard, "It seems that I came just in time. Where are Tywin's cavalry? How many are there?"

The accompanying Raymond Darry, Patrick, Marco Piper, the sharpshooter Anguy, the leader of the Blood Troupe Wagg and others, as well as the cavalry who had been running for a day, also dismounted and drank water, staying where they were. Pee pee pee.

Of course, the horses were also fed by the cavalry.

"Heron Town is only half an hour's ride away from the Western Frontier Cavalry. The spies have already appeared outside the town, which makes the tens of thousands of refugees there very uneasy. At present, the road from here to Heron Town has been blocked by fleeing refugees. Blocked."

"As for the number of people, there are at least a thousand. Our news was reported by the mayor of the town, and his militiamen only dared to look at it from a distance."

Although he was surprised as to why Arthur was leading the team, Richard promptly told him the information he had.

As the manager of a large castle, his Qi-nurturing skills are quite good and he does not show what he is thinking on his face.

"Are you cavalry from the former army? How many men did Lord Edmure send? Eight thousand? Or ten thousand?" the steward of Harrenhal asked.

"There are seven hundred and eighty-three people now." Arthur replied, "More than three thousand infantry will come later, but they are not sent by Edmure. He wants to fight the Western Division at Riverrun first, and then I will fight against Tywin again. These cavalry and subsequent troops are all borrowed from me."

When they set off from Riverrun, there were eight hundred cavalry plus thirty people including Raymond, Ma Ke, Patrick, Angai, and Varg. However, a few boats capsized. Although the soldiers swam to other boats, the packed armor But it sank into the Red Fork River.

What's worse is that some of the horses on the big ship are very seasick. They can still stand in the crowded boat, but they lie down and cannot move when they reach the land.

So after landing on land, Arthur asked the forty-seven soldiers who had lost their armor and whose horses were seasick to stay where they were to take care of the poor horses. The remaining 782 people were brought here by him.

Requesting soldiers for rescue was a favor, and Arthur described the relationship clearly to Mrs. He'an, so that he would not be the one to help, but the Tully family in Riverrun would be the one to be favored.

A trace of disappointment clearly flashed in Richard's eyes, but he didn't say anything.

Mrs. He'an let out a long sigh.

"I knew that Edmure wouldn't send anyone here. He might not even know where my aunt is. This relative is not very reliable."

"Now that you are here, I don't have to run away. Let's go to the castle and rest first. I see that the group of young men behind you are very tired."

Mrs. He'an greeted.

Her servants were clever enough to lead the guests' horses into the castle.

"Wait a minute." Arthur stopped the servants' actions. "Tywin's cavalry is not far away, and there are farmers fleeing on the road. The Western Cavalry is coming in a hurry, and they must rob and replenish the army. I have to rescue them." Landless farmers.”

He turned his head towards the soldiers behind him, "You are very tired, but Tywin's cavalry are even more tired. They have been running for five days in a row, and it is time to see the stars. Get on your horses before they can stand still. , we gave them a head-on blow.”

Patrick, Marco and other higher-status nobles also repeated Arthur's order, which made the soldiers who had just dismounted to rest put on their helmets and get on their horses.

Arthur also jumped on his giant horse and shouted at Richard: "Don't close the door of Harrenhal. I want the civilians of Harren Town to come in and take refuge."

Richard was stunned, "What are you talking about? Aren't you letting the soldiers from the Western Region come in?"

He didn't want to carry out this order. After all, Harrenhal was his master's home fortress, not Arthur's, let alone the exiled civilians'.

"Do as he says." Mrs. He'an stood up and walked to the reinforcements. "Young men, I wish you success in the first battle."

"We will win the first battle!" Arthur turned his horse's head, raised his sword and shouted.

This not only responded to Mrs. He'an, but also improved the morale of the Hejian cavalry.

"Must win!"

The cavalry were also infected by Arthur's majestic fighting spirit. They shouted, followed the first warrior in the river and rushed towards Heron Town.

Nearly eight hundred people marched together to face the invaders from the Western Territory. The tall back of the giant golden-armored horse at the front gave many people courage and allowed them to dispel the fatigue of pursuing them.

The entire team's will to fight has reached its peak.

Not far away, I saw a large number of civilians driving ox carts or pushing carts themselves, dragging their families and families towards the northeast.

"Go to Harrenhal, where the door will always be open to you." Arthur shouted.

Some cavalrymen were sent out on a shouting mission.

Some farmers heard Arthur's words and silently adjusted their direction.

Some are different and still go northeast as before.

Someone even reminded: "Gentlemen, you should go north quickly. Duke Tywin's army has thousands of people, and they are all coming towards this way."

"That's right, how can you fight against Duke Tywin's men with just a few of you? It's more important to save your life."

"There is a man named Arthur the Righteous in the north. It is said that he killed the Magic Mountain. He will protect us."

A group of fleeing farmers said to the passing cavalry.

They were proud of the courage of this group of river cavalry to fight, but they did not want them to die in vain.

"I am exactly what you call Arthur. Some people call me righteous, and some people call me brave." He reined in his horse and shouted.

"If I leave you alone today because of insufficient troops, then I am not worthy of these two titles. Even if the enemy is outnumbered, I will still lead the army to attack until you all safely enter Harrenhal."

"Now, everyone, take refuge in Harrenhal, and then watch us cut down the invaders from the West."

"Follow me!"

The last shout was to the river cavalry behind him.

The speed of the entire team suddenly increased and they rushed towards the west.

After Arthur shouted, most of the refugees chose to go to Harrenhal. They were originally going to join Arthur at the Moulin Rouge. Since the real owner is here, there is no need to go north to cross the Red Fork River. .

…

Outside the town of Heron.

A Western spy is reporting to Amory Lodge, who is leading the army.

Behind Rocky were 1,500 Western Cavalry wearing crimson robes and black ring armor.

A quarter of a league before his eyes, a large group of river cavalry was clearly visible.

"Sir, there are about 800 incoming troops. They are flying the flags of Haijiang City, Darui City, and the two Vance families. They should be in Riverrun City, but they appear here for some reason."

Professional spies are much more professional than Mayor Harren's militia. They not only provide accurate information about the number of enemy troops, but also find out their origins.

"Is there anything unusual?"

The sworn knight of Casterly Rock asked.

The Mountain is dead, and he is basically the most capable sworn knight under Tywin, so it is his turn to seize the opportunity to seize Harrenhal.

This is a great achievement.

"The leading general rides a golden horse and holds a golden sword. He is suspected to be Arthur Bracken in the battle of Golden Tooth." The spy replied hesitantly.

He is not sure that it is Arthur, but the characteristics are too obvious.

In the past ten days, the rumor that Arthur killed 15,000 people in the Golden Tooth in one battle has spread throughout the army of the Westerlands.

After all, no one wants to encounter such a fierce enemy.

"It doesn't matter if it's him!" Loki waved his hand, "I can kill Arthur with one hand."

After seizing Harrenhal, the entire southern part of the riverland will be left to the Westerlands soldiers to gallop.

This is a staggering achievement.

Loki has seen the rewards he deserves after the war: a big castle, a territory that matches his status, and a wife from a noble family.

Shaking his head, he shouted: "We have twice as many people as them, follow me."

Fifteen hundred cavalrymen slowly started, and the speed gradually increased until they were moving at full speed.

In just a moment, the two armies were already very close, and after a few breaths, the fight would begin.

On Arthur's side, nearly four hundred cavalrymen from Haijiang City were in the middle, and two cavalrymen from the Vance family, each with nearly two hundred people, were on both sides.

The entire team, like a huge triangular scissors, fiercely inserted into the West Border Cavalry.

But the one in front of Arthur was not the commander of this army.

Although the soldiers around Loki were very curious about why the officer who was charging with a sword rushed straight to the flank of the River Cavalry, they wisely did not question it.

The two cavalrymen suddenly collided with each other, and the fight began.
