Game of Thrones: Digger of the Dreadfort

"Come on!"

Gregor "The Mountain", the Lannister forward, waved his giant sword and shouted an order, and the voices of nearly a thousand people responded immediately.

He led a whole team of elite heavy cavalry in a wedge formation and took the lead in launching the attack.

Under the command of Count Luce, the northern soldiers raised their tall oak shields, stretched out their spears, and formed a half-moon formation, ready to fight.

In an instant, the two torrents collided with each other, causing blood and flesh to fly.

A cavalryman ran rampant, with the tip of his spear piercing his chest, and he died on the spot.

Some also jumped into the enemy formation and used the unparalleled impact of the heavy cavalry to disintegrate the northern shield wall...

……

The battle went on for a long time.

The crows were circling in the sky, croaking impatiently, and seemed to be eager to fly down and enjoy the delicious food.

The Lannister sent a phalanx of spears to support the advance of the "Mountain".

The spear phalanx ran into a wall built by northern soldiers with iron spikes and shields.

Confront each other.

The two armies were fighting to the death on the river bank.

Suddenly there was the sound of hooves behind him, and Count Luce turned around quickly.

Count Meiqi, whose face was covered with blood, came over to the horse. He reined in the reins and said helplessly: "Lord Luce, I think the situation of the battle seems to be unfavorable to us."

Count Luce did not answer.

Even a fool can see that the military formation on the northern border can no longer hold up.

"Magic Mountain" Gregor's heavy cavalry was like a sharp knife, pricking the northern infantry's defense line with holes.

cavalry!

If there is a cavalry in hand that can match it, and the "Magic Mountain" is involved, perhaps the situation of the battle can be reversed.

It's a pity that all the elite northern cavalry followed Robb Stark south to Riverrun.

……

The Lannister trumpet sounded again.

Duke Tywin personally led his troops out in full force and rushed towards the northern army formation along the river bank.

The sun shone on the spear points, and the red and gold banners of House Lannister flew overhead.

It was like the straw that broke the camel's back.

The northern army was completely shattered under this impact, like glass being beaten by a hammer.

The fighting lasted from dawn into the afternoon.

"Lord Luce, what should we do now?" Earl Meech asked.

Count Luce sighed quietly, "We lost!"

The Lannister army came well prepared and had the upper hand. In addition, their equipment was better and they had many more cavalry than they did.

"Blow the bugle!"

"retreat!"

Upon hearing this order, Earl Mechi breathed a sigh of relief.

Everyone could see that the northern army had been defeated, and the attack planned by Tywin was successful.

Fortunately, Tywin couldn't eat them all in one go because of the Green Fork River.

However, after this "Battle of the Green Fork River".

How many of the original 14000-strong Northern Army are left?

-----------------

a few days later.

Lord Tywin returned to Harrenhal from the Green Fork, followed by the army of the West that stretched for several miles, and followed by a large number of Northern prisoners.

As soon as he dismounted, he asked someone to bring him a glass of wine to quench his thirst, and asked his attendants to untie the rings of his golden armor.

"Brother, I heard that you won a victory at the Green Fork River!"

Kevan Lannister had been waiting for a long time and immediately came forward to greet him.

Tywin drank all the wine in his glass and looked at Kevan with his light green gold eyes, as if to say that the previous victory was not worth mentioning:

"Yes, I took advantage of the darkness to find the camp of the Northern Army and set up a position in advance. Although their night patrol scouts discovered us and hurriedly organized a defense, it was already too late.

I asked Ser Gregor to lead the heavy cavalry to severely damage the northern army's defense line.I originally expected them to be defeated, but I didn't expect this group of northerners to be more tenacious than I expected.Then I sent the pikemen to attack their flank, trying to force them into the river.Finally, I led my troops to attack again, and finally defeated them..."

"It was a great fight, it's a pity I couldn't be there."

Sir Kevan said with a hint of regret.

Tywin took off the golden gauntlet and let it fall to the ground. He frowned because of the pain in his elbow. "Now is not the time to brag about victory. How is the situation at Harrenhal? The letter you asked the scout to send before was a bit too much." Exaggerated!"

"It's definitely not an exaggeration. Harrenhal was almost lost!" Kevan said with a sad face.

"How is that possible? You have two thousand soldiers under your command, plus the civilian men accompanying the army to assist the defenders. Even if the invading enemy is ten times your number, we will not be able to capture this fortified city in just a few months!"

In order to annihilate the northern army on the Green Fork River in one fell swoop, Tywin took away 20000 elites from the 18000-strong army, leaving only 2000 men for Kevan to defend Harrenhal.

But in Tywin's opinion, this is enough.

"You know, it's Harrenhal. 'Blackheart' Harren once said that this fortress is unbreakable!"

"They have giants!" Kevan shook his head.

"giant?"

Tywin didn't seem to expect that there were giants in the army in King's Landing Valley. Those giants beyond the wall that only existed in ancient books. "Did these giants scare you out of your wits?"

"Not just a few! More than a dozen!"

"Even if there are more than a dozen, the giants are only a little taller than humans. Can they climb over the heavy city wall of Harrenhal?"

"The giant held a thick copper pipe in his hand."

"Copper pipe? Is it used to poke the city gate?" Tywin asked without thinking.

"No, thunder was released from the copper pipe."

"You," Tywin looked at his brother with cold eyes, sizing him up quietly.

My brother Kevan has gained some weight recently, his head is basically bald, his square chin is full of flesh, and his beard is trimmed very short.

"You're not drunk, are you?"

"Brother, I haven't had a drink for five whole days!"

Kevan looked sad.

……

“The giants carried the extremely thick copper pipes and placed them on the wooden frame in front of the castle, and then a group of people prayed and recited incantations there.

Then thunder was released from the copper tube!

Every thunderbolt can make a big hole in the city wall. As long as the soldiers on the wall are touched a little, their skin and flesh will be torn...

If I hadn't asked the soldiers to defend the city gate with all their might, I'm afraid Harrenhal would no longer be in our hands..."

Kevan Lannister's words made Tywin fall into silence.

Tywin knew that his brother Kevan was a reserved and reliable person. As his second-in-command for many years, he was well known for his loyalty and reliability.

But, are the copper pipes that can emit thunder and what he said true?

Tywin patted his brother on the shoulder and told him not to worry too much.

"The army I led only suffered less than 1000 casualties, and defeated the northern army, and captured more than 3000 prisoners. No matter how much thunder they had, they could not break through the walls of Harrenhal."

Tywin was silent for a moment, "But now the only thing I'm worried about is Jaime."

"What does James have to worry about? He is currently besieging Riverrun. Those cowards from the Tully family simply don't dare to go out to fight..."

Tywin shook his head, "I have learned from the prisoners in the North that I defeated only the infantry led by Roose Bolton, and the Stark brats were not with them.

The elite cavalry from the north, led by the Stark brat, had crossed the river from Twin River City and headed south to Riverrun City.

If they take advantage of Jaime's siege to launch a surprise attack, something could be very wrong! "

As soon as Duke Tywin finished speaking, he heard an urgent cry:

"Lord Tywin! I think you don't have to worry!"

Tywin and Kevan turned their heads.

He dismounted as Ser Davon Lannister rode towards him.

The horse suddenly foamed at the mouth and shed blood, and was quickly led off by the groom.

Ser Davon's shaggy hair looks like a lion. He wears shiny copper-plated steel armor with a Lannister lion in the center of the breastplate.

He walked quickly to Tywin and knelt down on one knee.

"Lord Tywin, five days ago, Lord Jaime fought with Robb Stark's cavalry at the foot of Riverrun.

We won big!

Not only did they capture five northern lords, including Earl Gilbert Glover, Earl Herman Tallhar, Earl Horwood... but also the Lord of the North, Robb Stark! "

"The Stark kid was also caught?" Lord Tywin couldn't believe it.

Sir Davon said without hesitation, "Exactly! Robb Stark has become our prisoner."

"It's really good news! Two wins in a row."

Sir Kevan on the side burst into laughter, completely forgetting that Harrenhal was almost lost a few days ago:

"The current battle situation is really great!"
