Chapter 115 The essence of foreplay is to resist and welcome

Jaime Lannister has never hated water so much, really.

There is a besieged city in front of us. People outside the city want to get in, and people in the city want to get out.

However, no one can get what they want.

What stood in front of him was nothing but water.

The Tengshi River and the Red Fork River flow endlessly, flowing under the city walls of Riverrun, forming two moats that can never be filled.

As the two top five rivers in the Three Rivers Basin, Jaime Lannister has nothing to do with these two rivers.

The only possible breakthrough is the short trench dug by the Turtle in Riverrun City to the southwest of the city wall. However, it is now filled with water from the two rivers.

After more than half a month of continuous siege and attack, Jaime Lannister realized that it was really not easy to imagine that this castle of the Tully family could stand on the great plains of the Riverlands for thousands of years. .

Fortunately, he has Lord Hoster Tully's precious son in his hands. Even if he cannot defeat Riverrun, there is nothing the princes of the Riverlands can do against him.

Everyone knows that the old Duke Hoster is not very good anymore. He went to see the Seven Gods that day. After that, the master of the Riverlands will be Edmure Tully. Who dares to attack Edmure Tully who actually controls Edmure Tully? The Lannister family of life and death?

All he had to do was keep an eye on the Tully family and some idiots from the Riverlands who were still unwilling to give up, until his father defeated that little Stark boy.

By then, Riverrun's foreign aid would be cut off, and their last hope would no longer exist, so they couldn't help but refuse to surrender.

Well...the advantage is mine.

That’s what Jaime Lannister thinks, anyway.

However, the days of siege were boring. After walking around twice with poor Edmure Tully under Riverrun, I found that Lord Tytos Blackwood on the city seemed not to have seen Edmure at all.

When it was time to shoot arrows and when it was time to throw stones, it seemed that Edmure Tully's life and death had nothing to do with him.

By now, Jaime Lannister had no interest in messing with the unkempt heir to the Riverlands.

Let him stay in his cage on the carriage and be an ornamental animal.

As for myself, I now have new fun.

News came from the north bank that a cavalry group under the banner of the northern princes of the Riverlands was appearing further north of the camp on the north bank, and seemed to be entangled with the soldiers there.

Quentin Benfort, Earl of Scourge, suggested:

"Lord James, I request to lead five hundred cavalry to drive away this annoying fly!"

Jaime Lannister's handsome face tilted slightly, his gold-like forehead fell to his ears, and an interested smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"No, tell me to go down and dispatch all the cavalry regiments. I will personally lead the team. Let's chase this courageous riverland cavalry. Don't scare them yet and drive them to their home base."

"I want to see who else dares to go against us Lannister in the riverlands west of the Green Fork River!"

From Jaime Lannister's point of view, what he said was justified.

The boy from the North led 20,000 people to the east of the Green Fork River, and was confronting his father's more than 20,000 people. In the entire western battlefield of the Riverlands, except for the few thousand remaining soldiers in Riverrun City, there was no one left. Organized troops.

They were probably reinforcements sent by the families north of the Riverlands who refused to admit defeat, hoping to see if they could rescue their lord.

This is fine, follow these cavalry, chase them to their lair, capture their castle, and make them completely give up on this idea.

James Lanster was in a happy mood. The two victories against the riverland nobles had made him completely look down on the fighting ability of the riverland nobles.

However, this place is not King's Landing. There is no elder sister Cersei, and his hands are always itchy. As the eldest son of the Lannister family, he still looks down on the rural girls captured by his subordinates.

Hurry up and finish this damn battle, capture all the Tullys and Starks into the dungeons of King's Landing, not to mention, you have to go to Winterfell.

Not to mention, Jaime Lannister kind of misses the ruined tower at Winterfell.

Cersei's flavor there is really good, much better than the sameness in King's Landing...

With the "good memories" of himself and his sister Cersei replaying in his mind, Jaime Lannister walked out of the camp. His loyal Lannister guards had already brought him his beloved white horse.

Mounting his horse, Jaime Lannister walked towards the ferry...

In the jungle further north of Tengshihebei Camp, Ser Brynden pulled out the blood-stained sword from the chest of a Lannister soldier who had been wailing just now, and stared at the huge camp directly in front of him.

He led three hundred elite cavalry and attacked all the way from Crowtree City. More than a hundred Lannister cavalry fell under their swords.

Most of them were Lannister scouts that we observed when we went south last time.

Relying on the huge numerical advantage and the suddenness of the attack, Ser Brynden pulled out the eyes placed on the periphery of the Lannister army one by one.

After they were dealt with, they did not retreat, but continued to appear near the Tengshi River North Camp. The Lannister army came out to expel them and then left. If they did not expel them, they would shoot a few sentries to cheer up the Lannister.

In short, Sir Brynden's three hundred people are professionals in the field of fire.

Over the past two days, the Lannisters on the north bank of the Tengshi River have been so excited. If you chase them, they will run away. If you don't chase them, they will come. Even if they catch up, they won't let you. Hehehe, they all have to do it. Bloody.

Therefore, in the current Tengshi Hebei camp, everyone is grumpy. Commander Jaime Lannister's attack order has reached the Beida camp, making everyone shout that there is a chance to deal with these people.

Seven levels of hell, it’s been so long since we’ve been in the Riverlands, when have we ever experienced this bird spirit? It’s really unbearable for my uncle, and it’s unbearable for my aunt!

In half the time than usual, two thousand Lannister cavalry had already assembled. They were all gearing up and waiting with red eyes for the arrival of Commander Jaime Lannister.

James was a little slow because he came from the rear. He originally estimated that it would take a while before he could lead people out of the camp. He was still aware of the slack atmosphere in the army.

However, when he rode his horse to the Tengshi Hebei Camp, what was waiting for him was two thousand neatly arranged red-armored cavalry, all of whom looked at him with extremely excited eyes.

Jaime Lannister, who didn't know what was going on, was surprised that the soldiers of Tengshi Hebei Camp still had such high morale after being besieged for so many days. Well, the commander here should reward them.

Thinking in his mind, Jaime Lannister made a few simple pre-war mobilization words. Unexpectedly, what he thought had no effect at first got an enthusiastic response from these soldiers.

How to describe it? Hmm... dry firewood explodes at a moment's notice, that's pretty much what it looks like.

Looking at his subordinates who were waving their swords and howling, Jaime Lannister felt that he was safe in this battle.

"Set off!"

With a shout, Jaime Lannister rode towards the north on his beloved white horse.

Behind him, the two thousand cavalrymen also exerted their strength, preparing to take care of the two or three hundred blind riverland cavalry, and find their lair by the way to see who sent such a disgusting army.

This kind of person is simply a disgrace to the nobility and is no longer worthy of owning castles and land.

Their castles, land, and women should all be rewarded, otherwise, the anger of the Western soldiers will not be quelled.

…

Looking at the Lannister army surrounding him, a cold smile appeared on Ser Brynden's resolute face.

"Run to the Virgin Valley immediately and tell Mr. Clay that the lion has eaten the bait. The lion is expected to be brought to the cage within two days. Please prepare Mr. Clay."

He gave instructions to the soldiers waiting next to him. The latter nodded vigorously. Seeing that Sir Brynden had no instructions, he immediately rode his best endurance horse and rushed the news to the ambush location of the army.

Seeing that the cavalry delivering the message had gone away, Sir Brynden drew out the sword from his waist. At this moment, the old Sir was filled with strength. He rode on the horse and shouted loudly:

"Come on, boys, let them see how powerful we are!"

Acting requires a complete performance. If you run away as soon as you meet, you may make the other person suspicious.

Be smart about your opponents, and don't treat everyone as a fool, because if you don't, you will find that the last fool must be yourself. Ser Brynden understands this very well.

Because they were not far apart, the cavalry confrontation between the two sides began quickly.

Don't think that cavalry hedging is just two walls stupidly colliding together. In this era when cavalry are all precious little things, no commander would waste the cavalry so much.

On the current battlefield, the cavalry from the north and the cavalry from the west, after approaching each other at high speed, slowed down appropriately, and then they engaged in close hand-to-hand combat.

The so-called charge into battle is used to harvest infantry. The duel between cavalry is not like this.

The sound of weapons colliding immediately resounded throughout the battlefield, and along with splashes of blood and heart-rending screams, the cavalry from both sides fought in a melee.

The Lannister army, which had been holding back their anger, was about to take out their anger on these seemingly weak river cavalry, but unexpectedly they met suddenly. As soon as the two sides fought, they realized something was wrong.

Although the equipment of these people was mediocre, their swordsmanship was quite good. Originally, the Lannister army had a numerical advantage. The first wave of more than 600 people who rushed up was partially outnumbered.

However, these extremely fierce riverland cavalry relied on their superb horse fighting skills to compete with the six hundred Lannister cavalry.

The losses on both sides continued to rise, and the heart-wrenching sound of swords piercing flesh echoed in the ears of every soldier.

The charge was over, and Sir Brynden, covered in blood, regrouped his team on the west side of the battlefield.

He took a quick glance and realized that he had lost about thirty people in this charge, that's about it.

"Tell everyone, charge again, run north after the charge, and follow my flag!"

We are all good actors, but it is not good to get too involved in the drama. There is no point in playing all the roles here. The real protagonist is waiting to appear in the back.

As a small supporting role, you just have to play your own role, and don't add more drama to yourself without authorization.

The charge began again, and the fearless northern cavalry kicked the horses' belly again. This was their last charge before retreating.

Fortunately, everyone was clear-headed and no one shouted slogans such as Long Live Robb Stark or Long Live the North. Everyone knew their identity and shouted "For Lord Edmure Tully!"

I wonder if Edmure Tully will burst into tears when he sees this scene. The feeling of being cared about by others is really great. This kind of warm feeling has not been felt by him since he was stuffed into a wooden cage. .

Regardless of what Edmure Tully thought, the two sides who were fighting for their lives collided again. In the center of the battlefield, two cavalrymen who could not avoid the situation collided violently with their horses.

The cavalry flew up from their horses and then hit the ground heavily. The northern cavalry had lighter armor, so although they were smashed to pieces, their bones were fine.

But the heavily armored Lannister was not so lucky. One of his legs was broken by the huge weight, and he could only lie on the ground and howl.

The Northern Cavalry who woke up didn't give him any extra chance. He got up and sent him to see the Seven Gods with a sword blow.

But the northern cavalryman who lost his horse was soon cut down to the ground by the charging Lannister cavalry.

No matter how brave he is, the huge gap in kinetic energy cannot be made up.

This was the second round of confrontation. Both sides were aroused by the bloody battle just now. They roared and fought together, waving their swords and screaming from time to time.

Every scream means that a soldier has fallen off his horse. On a battlefield full of cavalry, being trampled to death by horses is the only outcome.

To a certain extent, this was even faster than death brought to them by swords.

The second round of charge is over, and the Lannister cavalry who have assembled at their original position are preparing for the third round of attack. They have left nearly 80 people of the opponent behind in the two rounds of fighting. As long as there is another round, the opponent will not be able to hold on. Living.

However, their opponents, the Riverlands cavalry with extremely strong combat effectiveness and fighting will, after completing the second round of hedging, under the leadership of a Crowtree City flag, put down their opponents and quickly fled north.

Seeing this scene, the Lannister cavalry's heart instantly became angry. Damn it, the familiar feeling came again. These bastards made them unable to get up and down again, and they ran away in the middle of the fight.

To always leave them in a state where they feel a little better, but not completely happy, is really, really, very abominable!

With a roar, the leading Lannister cavalry general rushed forward with his subordinates, regardless of the fact that his commander, Jaime Lannister, had not given any order to pursue.

However, James originally wanted to catch up with this cavalry, so he quickly issued an order, and the two thousand troops quickly chased in the direction of the Riverland cavalry's escape.

This is a war between cavalry and cavalry, and Jaime Lannister, who holds an army of two thousand men, is fearless. He has also become interested in this powerful cavalry. Being able to defeat such an opponent is considered boring. The boring siege life brought a little happiness.

Lannister, hear me roar.

charge!
