Chapter 116 Vale of Arryn Trapped
Mountain clans Are the tribes difficult to deal with?

Not difficult, poorly equipped, malnourished, untrained, fights the same as beyond the wall wildling... so why the rulers of the Vale of Arryn never try to deal with them?

The answer to this question is actually the same as why didn't Night's Watch kill all the wildlings: indeed, a few thousand well-trained soldiers - not too much, just as good as Igor - - enough to slaughter the hundreds of thousands of wildlings beyond the wall, and the only survivors rushed to the Lands of Always Winter. The question is, where did these thousands of elite soldiers come from? How long will it take for them to kill all the wildlings? During the period, who will pay for the food and military salaries? What happens to the pension for casualties caused by wildling's resistance? Will Wall use it to give the scum and political prisoners of the Seven Kingdoms a good old age after the wildling is wiped out?

The number of mountain clans is far less than beyond the wall wildling, but they drill in the mountains, and there are no fixed villages for guerrilla attacks, which makes the clearing more difficult.

After all, the reason is simple: the benefits obtained are far less than the possible losses if you spend your efforts to settle the mountain clans tribe. The last team of escorts - both bandits and mountain clans, generally speaking, as long as there are more than ten men in the team with weapons, they are rarely attacked.

In the final analysis, it is still the problem of "productivity". These three words limit a lot of human imagination and good wishes. The world is miserable.

......

"Others Killer" offered advice to the king on this day, the battle meeting was held for a long time, and many nobles and generals walked out of the king's tent and returned to their respective camps, The coalition camp moved again. An hour or two later, troops ranging in size from dozens to hundreds left the camp and headed towards the Bloody Gate. From a distance, it looked like there was an infighting and they wanted to break up and go home to farm—but after leaving Once in sight of the Bloody Gate defenders, they will soon take a detour and turn back again, burrowing into the Mountains of the Moon, searching for signs of the mountain clans.

The poor mountain clans tribe, when they saw Robert grandiose's counter-insurgency army drive into Vale, they immediately retreated into the mountains, starved for more than a month and didn't show up to do anything, who would want to be so obedient? Couldn't escape the disaster - the king and a bunch of nobles didn't think of them at all, but under the advice of a transmigrator from a different world, hundreds of scouts and elite soldiers who were good at woodland and mountain warfare came to the door Come!

Igor had planned to return to King's Landing after his offer, but from Earl Buckwell, who returned from the meeting, he learned that Robert had set a plan and a deadline: a small force infiltrating the Mountains of the Moon would be To win the Bloody Gate with the coalition forces inside and outside, if you can't win within half a month, negotiate a settlement with the Lords Declarant.

In this "hopeful" situation, Igor decided to stay for a while, in case oneself's method brings victory to Robert, maybe he can get some rewards.

＊＊＊

Wearing black clothed, but offering advice to Iron Throne, this is already a serious edge ball, as for personally participating in the action... that is absolutely not dare. Staying in the coalition barracks, Igor has no idea how the "trick" offered by oneself is progressing, and the troops sent out to drill into the Mountains of the Moon are also impossible to keep in touch with the coalition barracks. Now, the whole war situation is for him It has become a black box, and he can only wait for the result.

The "siege" of the day after day on the front of the battlefield is still continuing, but the entire coalition camp has quietly transformed into a state of preparations that are loose on the outside and tight on the inside - although they go to the Bloody Gate to call and pretend. It is still an army every day, but at the same time, the armies of the other five countries are also armored and ready to fight at any time. In the words of Earl Buckwell: "Just wait for the signal to appear, and the army will swarm up and take it. Get down to Bloody Gate."

As for what form and when the signal would appear, even Old Earl oneself couldn't tell.

Time is still passing day by day, and Igor's confidence in the plan proposed by oneself is also fading. He suddenly realizes that oneself is actually suspected of being "on paper", and the mountain clans tribe does exist. They may also know that they can get into the Vale of Arryn's path, but can the elite troops that Robert sends into the mountains catch them who are good at guerrilla attacks? Is the path easy to walk? Is there an Army of the Righteous at the end of the road?

Oneself actually doesn't know anything, just boldly bet on the "records in the history books", pinning his hopes on the fact that these battles are all real and can be reproduced in the Vale of Arryn in a different world .

This apprehension continued until the sixth day after the offer.

On this day, Igor was invited to have a drink with Earl Buckwell in the afternoon, listening to the old man complaining about the military salaries and the harvest in the territory being affected by the war, but a long and long trumpet sound suddenly came from outside the tent, followed by The sound of people's footsteps, the neighing of war horses... and the dull and monotonous sound of hoofs and the accompanying vibrations from the ground.

"What's the matter?" Old Earl and Igor asked loudly at the soldiers outside as they emerged from the tent.

"Sir, there is a banner from the central army, the whole army is attacking, and bring the siege ladder!"

Don't ask any more questions, the shouting and killing from the direction of Bloody Gate has already explained Everything is over - the daily "siege" of Sun Wheel's army has ended. There is no army soldier in the Six Nations League in the small area in front of Bloody Gate. Where does the shouting come from? The troop that took a detour has arrived at Bloody Gate!

"Damn...Igor, you stay in the barracks, I have to follow, Robert will lead the attack himself, this is a good time to take credit!" Old Earl finished saying this to Igor, Without stopping, he faced the chaotic Antlers army: "Don't mess! Find your immediate commander, don't lose your weapons, formation! Formation!" It's over!"

"The Seven! Never mind, keep your pace! Let's go, and those behind follow! Don't lose your sword and armor!"

on What does it look like when thousands of people charge together? Igor saw it soon, and Yoren was also led out of the tent by the voice. As Night's Watch, they were the only people in the coalition camp who could watch the show in peace without worrying about "credit". They came From the slope closest to the Antlers' army, the battlefield looked out into the distance.

The Crownlands cavalry led by Robert was at the forefront, and no one dared to compete with the king. The sharp-edged sword stabbed straight into the Bloody Gate, but the arrows that would strike the city in the past were nowhere to be seen—the defenders were fighting against the Divine Weapon from the rear.

Following behind the cavalry were countless infantrymen who had almost lost their formation in the darkness, covering the mountains and plains. Since a large number of elites and officers entered the forest to find the path, the peasants and soldiers who were not well-trained were even more messed up at the moment, and placed in normally, such a messy attack is useless except to send people's heads - but today , as long as you run fast enough to climb the wall before the Bloody Gate defenders can drive the raiding squad down the city, the war will be over!
"My God..." Igor was also a little nervous. The king rushed in front of the war. This may be a romance in this era, but in the eyes of transmigrators, it is really a bad habit, and it is also a soldier's lack of training. The helpless act: "Robert, don't put oneself in it."

"Don't worry, although I haven't played a few games, I can see it a lot, use my toes. I want to know that the moment the rebels are touched from the back of the buttocks without realizing it, the victory or defeat is already decided."

The cavalry rushed through the almost filled trench to arrive. Under the walls of the Bloody Gate, Robert and Kingsguard...and more Crownlands cavalry dismounted. Although they reached the finish line first, they couldn't climb the Bloody Gate on their hands and feet before the infantry carried the ladder, but the solution soon came: the ladder was abandoned under the city wall when the previous attempt to siege failed, pick it up Shake off some blood and mud and you'll be ready to use it in no time!

Under the distant gaze of two Night's Watch and squire Casey, a white robe who could not see his identity took the lead to climb the ladder to the top of Bloody Gate. After holding the upper end of the ladder, Robert The fat silhouette started to climb the ladder for the second time... When he also climbed the Bloody Gate, and even the second and more ladders were put on the wall but no one was taking care of it, the suspense of the battle was lost.

The cries of killing gradually subsided. After all, the Bloody Gate defenders and Robert's army did not have any deep hatred. Some of them may have even fought side by side during the Reaver War. With the only option left, less than half an hour later, the flags of Lords Declarant at the top of Bloody Gate fell and a Crowned Stag flew up.
