There is one riding day away from Casterly Rock on the River Road. The terrain here is relatively flat and is surrounded by hills and woods.
Davon, who was hiding behind a hill on the River Avenue, looked at the prey that was about to enter an ambush. After hesitating for a moment, he said to the attendant beside him: "The enemy sent out reconnaissance cavalry very cautiously, but it doesn't matter!
Inform Earl Garrison's cavalry to send out troops to surround us after the long-range attack is over. Instead of killing them all, it is best to drive them in our direction and trap them.
Hide the other troops for me and wait until they attract the big fish behind them before encircling and suppressing them!"
"As you command!"
Da da da!
Hoo, ho, ho!
The unknowing Little Jon was riding on the River Road with 500 Northern Scout Cavalry. Suddenly, at least dozens of heavy stones the size of heads roared towards him from behind a hill on the left side of the road.
.
"Enemy attack, all disperse!"
Because Little Jon's reconnaissance cavalry was originally dispersed in order to conduct better exploration. Coupled with his roar, the five hundred northern cavalry immediately pulled their reins and dispersed in all directions.
Boom, boom, boom!
Most of the rocks fell heavily to the ground, creating quite shallow holes. A small number of rocks hit the target just right.
Click!
Regardless of whether it is a northern cavalry or a war horse, anyone hit by a heavy stone will not escape the fate of broken bones and death.
Blood splattered on the Hejian Avenue, and the number of corpses gradually increased, announcing the beginning of this ambush!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Da da da!
The stone-throwing attack was followed by a shower of arrows from the front on the left, and a flood of enemy cavalry troops pouring out of the woods on the rear right.
Oops! I was too careless!
Little Jon's face was ashen as he looked at his retreat that was quickly cut off by the enemy cavalry, and he couldn't help but blame himself for his carelessness.
Originally, Robb had already announced the mission process of the reconnaissance cavalry. The surrounding terrain must be carefully explored to make sure there is no ambush before moving forward.
Prior to this, Little Jon had also followed Robb's mission procedures for investigation under Ed's supervision.
But this time Eddard was left in Riverrun to assist Brynden, and after the second round of the war began, the northern army won consecutive battles, and saw Robb displaying his might as if he were a god descending from the earth.
The complacency in his heart gradually swelled, so he did not carefully investigate the surrounding environment at all.
In fact, it is understandable that most of the northern reconnaissance cavalry never thought that these enemies in the western border would not defend the city, but dared to carry out field ambush boldly.
Knowing that now was not the time to blame himself, Little Jon glanced at the empty front and the rear of at least 1,500 cavalry.
After repeated battles, Little Jon, who already had mature battlefield judgment, immediately made a decision in his heart. He immediately whispered to Gendry, who looked a little nervous next to him: "Gendry, you will follow me closely behind. I will give it to you."
Carve out a road and take a few people to ask for help from His Majesty."
"Captain Jon, you should be the one to ask for help from His Majesty, and we will stop the enemy cavalry for you!"
Gendry heard this and immediately shook his head and replied to him.
"This is an order! You should know the consequences of disobeying military orders!
Don’t worry, Your Majesty, they are also cavalry troops, but because the three thousand heavy cavalry are a little behind, the faster you call for help, the safer we will be!"
"But……"
"No buts!"
Seeing that Gendry wanted to continue talking, Jon interrupted him directly. Then he drew his sword and pointed at the cavalry directly behind who had begun to charge, and shouted loudly,
"Real men of the North, charge in a wedge formation! Let's knock over these Western bitches!"
Whoa, whoa!
Woohoo!
Hearing this, more than 400 northern cavalrymen quickly formed a wedge formation with Little Jon as the sharpest tip. Then they drew out their long swords and raised them above their heads, pointing the sword tips in the direction of the enemy, mouthing strange words.
Shouting and charging towards the enemy.
Gendry, who was in the Northern Cavalry, also grasped the long-handled warhammer he had made, and charged with a cry of blood boiling.
At this moment, he knew that his choice of cavalry was the right one, and he enjoyed the feeling of group charge from the bottom of his heart.
Boom, boom!
咴儿
Bah!
ah!
As the cavalry from both sides approached rapidly, various noisy sounds suddenly sounded on the battlefield. Some of the enemy and ours collided with their men and horses, and some of them killed their opponents during the collision of charges.
Screams, wails, bloody corpses, instantly intertwined into an iron-blooded song about cruel war.
Tear!
At the front of the Northern Cavalry wedge formation, Little Jon, who fought bravely to kill the enemy, fully played his role. He killed two local cavalry very powerfully, and led the Northern Cavalry behind him to cut into the square formation of the Western Cavalry.
Whoosh!
After cutting into the square formation of the enemy cavalry, Little Jon directly released the reins in his hands, used direct and skillful equestrian skills to control it, and held the sword with his free hands to directly decapitate an enemy cavalry.
In fact, most of the cavalry in the West were recruited by Tywin to go to the Riverlands!
This cavalry force was composed purely of Davon's hundreds of Lannister cavalry, plus the last remaining family cavalry he had forced from the lords near Casterly Rock.
Therefore, although their number was more than three times that of Little Jon's troops, they were still not enough in front of the Northern Cavalry, which had developed outstanding combat effectiveness and high morale through consecutive victories.
The person in charge of commanding this western cavalry force is the Earl of Fire City, Garrison Priest. He is not a fierce general Earl who fights in person.
However, he has a keen intuition on the battlefield. After seeing the unstoppable Little Jon troops, he immediately realized that something was wrong, and ordered to the guards of Yanhuo City beside him: "Although Lord Davon asked us to hold back a little, we will kill them all!"
But that guy looks a little unusual, you should quickly take Lord Davon’s cavalry to stop him, don’t let them take the opportunity to escape!”
As Lord Garrison issued the order, nearly 600 Lannister cavalry, which he had been able to keep in the rear of the army, began to intercept the northern cavalry, whose charge was no longer as strong as the beginning.
clang!
After killing seven or eight people in a row, Little Jon, who was covered in blood, vigorously waved the blunt sword in his hand again, but with the sound of collision, his powerful slash was blocked by the opponent.
No wonder, they turned out to be the cavalry of the Lannister family!
Well, the real battle begins now!
Seeing clearly the armor with the lion engraved on the opponent's body, Little Jon reacted instantly.
The Lannister cavalry and Little Jon exchanged blows, and the two sides crossed each other with their horses. When he was about to use his force again to show the sword to the Northern cavalry behind him, a black shadow quickly struck.
Poof!
A cylindrical warhammer with a front end about the same size as his head hit the Lannister cavalryman's mask head-on.
Click!
The unique-looking helmet of this Lannister cavalry was instantly dented by the war hammer. At the same time, there was a crisp sound of fractures and blood splattered everywhere.
When Gendry took back his reforged warhammer, the Lannister cavalry had long been beyond recognition, leaving only a blur of flesh and blood.
Bang bang, bang bang!
The corpse of the Lannister cavalry lost its balance and fell off the horse. However, because the stirrups were wrapped around the legs of the corpse, the horse dragged the unrecognizable corpse and kept running forward.
Poof, poof!
Gendry, who was behind Little Jon, had blood-red eyes at the moment. He was swinging his long-handled warhammer and hammering down his opponents, looking like he was going crazy.
These Lannister cavalry, which are more elite than other Westerland cavalry, can block Little Jon's sword slash, but they can't escape Gendry's deadly long-handled warhammer!
However, it is undeniable that after being blocked by these elite Lannister cavalry, the Northern Cavalry's speed of cutting through the Western Cavalry Square suddenly slowed down.
Logically speaking, the cavalry at the front of the formation suffer the most casualties in a general cavalry charge. But under the leadership of the two fierce generals Little Jon and Gendry, the situation is completely opposite now.
The northern cavalry's wedge-shaped formation at the front suffered less casualties and continued to attack the western cavalry phalanx. On the contrary, the left and right wings, which were safer, were constantly being attacked and devoured by the western cavalry phalanx.
As the cavalry from both sides brutally clashed, corpses of cavalry continued to fall from their horses on the battlefield, both from the northern and western cavalry. A large number of horses that had lost their owners were wandering near the battlefield and refused to leave for a long time.
When more than half of the northern cavalry were killed or wounded, with less than two hundred left, Little Jon, who was completely covered in blood, finally saw no other enemies in front of him.
Little Jon turned around and scanned the surroundings. He found that there were already two to three hundred Western Cavalrymen who were the first to cross paths with them. They had already turned their horses and were pursuing them behind the Northern Cavalry.
When he saw a noble cavalryman wearing gorgeous armor on the rear left side of the Western March formation who was protected by at least a hundred Western Horsemen, Little Jon immediately shouted to Gendry behind him: "Our horses are tired after marching, and we will surely be better if we walk together."
were caught up by them.
Gendry, quickly bring a team of people to find His Majesty for help. I will contain them!"
There was no time to be pretentious at this time, and he wouldn't be able to leave if he delayed any longer. Gendry simply led a ten-man cavalry squad and galloped straight ahead.
In the woods behind the right side of the River Avenue, huge crossbows with coldly shining arrows were aimed at Gendry's ten-man team, waiting for the commander's order.
"Let them go! Master Da Feng is waiting for them to come with the big fish!"
A smiling voice sounded, and the giant crossbow in the woods gradually loosened its bowstring and no longer aimed at Gendry and his party.
Different from the relaxed atmosphere in the woods on the right, Earl Garrison was very flustered at the moment. Because the enemy cavalry after successfully breaking through was actually coming towards him.
"Protect me! Draw your bow and shoot arrows, and kill them for me!"
After calming down a little, Earl Garrison immediately issued an attack order to the family cavalry around him.
His life was the most important thing at the moment, and he couldn't care less about Da Feng's orders.
Gendry and his party were able to escape smoothly without any Western cavalry to pursue them. Little Jon, with less than 200 Northern cavalry, single-handedly held back at least 1,200 remaining Western cavalry.
Da da da!
The Northern Army, which was half a riding day away from Little Jon and other scout cavalry, was marching on the River Road at a normal riding speed.
The three thousand heavy cavalry in the north all marched with one man and three horses. A high-quality war horse fed with concentrated feed was used for combat charges, a pack horse was responsible for transporting armor and heavy objects, and there was also a long-distance marching horse.
What slowed down the speed was the more than 3,000 pack horses, which were not much faster than the hastily marching infantry.
In order to bring the Lannister cavalry back and forth between Golden Teeth City and Lannisport as quickly as possible, Adam had the Stormlanders infantry responsible for transporting the heavy cavalry armor. This was the reason why.
Robb, who was riding on Bloodwind, was closing his eyes and concentrating, still thinking about the new gold mining technology. After all, after he completely occupied the Western Territory, this was an important strategic resource that could directly increase the strength of the Northern Territory.
To be cautious, Robb routinely sent out Little Jon's scout cavalry. But in fact, he had the same idea as Little Jon. He didn't think that the remaining soldiers of the West would dare to abandon the castle and go out to fight in the city.
Therefore, one can imagine the surprise in his heart when he saw Gendry turned half-blooded.
After listening to Gendry's detailed description, Robb instantly realized that this was definitely a trap specifically targeting his own side.
At least dozens of trebuchets were actually arranged in advance. This could not be built in a day or two.
Moreover, there were only more than a thousand cavalry attacking Little Jon, Gendry and others. The archers and infantry had not appeared at all!
interesting!
Instead of waiting for death slowly in their respective castles, why not gather together and give it a go?
Robb suddenly became interested in the enemy commander who planned the ambush, and admired his spirit of trying his best to seize the opportunity to win.
With thoughts swirling in his mind, Robb pondered for a moment before deciding on his next tactical plan.
In order to rescue Little Jon as soon as possible, and just in case, he left 500 Northern heavy cavalry in place to look after the remaining 3,000 pack horses transporting heavy armor.
He led the Wolf Guard and 7,000 lightly-armed northern cavalry to break through the opponent's trap and eliminate all enemies.
It just saves me the time of running from castle to castle. This time I will catch you all and completely occupy the Western Territory!
Humph, in the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies and tricks are in vain!
Robb, who has gained extraordinary power, is now fully qualified to say such a thing.
It is normal for hunters to set traps to hunt prey, but if they encounter a terrifying giant wolf like Blood Wind.
It’s hard to say who is the prey and who is the hunter!
Seven thousand northern cavalry, led by Robb, quickly marched towards the place where Little Jon was ambushed. In the afternoon when the sun was setting from the middle to the west, they arrived at a battlefield full of blood and corpses.
Bloodwind, who has a keen sense of smell, immediately warned Robb that there was a lot of human smell in the forests on both sides of the river road.
But Robb didn't care, his crystal clear ice eyes were looking straight ahead with anger.
On the river road in the distance, Little Jon and more than thirty Northern cavalry had lost their horses. They were covered in blood and were precariously surrounded by at least a thousand Western cavalry.
From time to time, Western Cavalry took advantage of them not paying attention and stepped forward from behind to add a bloodstain to their bodies. They were simply playing with them like monkeys.
call!
Robb sprayed out a puff of white mist with ice slag in his mouth, after calming down his anger for a while.
He loudly issued his order: "There are enemies ambushing in the woods on both sides. I will attack the woods on the right alone, and Weir will lead the wolf guards to attack the woods on the left.
Gendry, you took all the brothers from the North and tore them into pieces for those Westerland bastards who went to play tricks on Little Jon!"
