Chapter 221 Collection of Vacation Beauties

"They emerged from the forest in the northeast. There was no shouting, and there was only a large flashing sword light under the moonlight."

"Our cavalry was stationed in the southwest and was the last to hear the news. By then it was already too late."

"The first one to be defeated was the Severn family's infantry camp. I couldn't sleep at that time, so I walked around the camp and saw with my own eyes our young men running out of the tent in a panic, without any preparation. His throat was slit by the sword coming from behind."

"They began to flee and fled towards the position of our central army. The thin front formed by a small number of soldiers from the Mandalay family and the Amber family was instantly overwhelmed by our own people."

"Once the armies of these two families were in chaos, we completely lost the possibility of resistance. We were not scattered by the people in the valley, but defeated by those who escaped from our own army."

Rickard Karstark babbled, his face haggard, his gray beard covered with dust, trembling up and down.

"Later, I led my family's cavalry to try to break through. At that time, the order of the entire army no longer existed. The elite heavy cavalry of the Valley People cut down His Majesty Rob's Running Wolf banner in the second round of charge. ."

"Without the flag, the soldiers have no direction and can only fight on their own, or...scattered away."

"I chose the north and fled all the way. Unfortunately, an eagle cub in the valley shot an arrow in my waist and fell off my horse."

"Later, when I woke up, the guards had already transported me across the Red Fork River. By that time, it would be impossible to go south to see how His Majesty was doing. It was better to go to the Twin River City. At least you, or your grandpa, are always there."

After Clay finished listening, he didn't say anything. He just waved his hand. The accompanying military doctor immediately stepped forward and untied the belt around Rickard Karstark's waist that already smelled of rot.

The military doctor was obviously used to seeing this kind of injury. He just frowned slightly, said "trouble" softly, and began to take out the corresponding medicine and knife from the wooden box beside him and started working.

Two of Clay's personal soldiers held down Rickard Karstark. The next time will be very difficult. However, if he doesn't deal with it now, his physical condition will not be able to support his actions with Clay. .

"Ho...ho...come on, I can hold it back, gods for heaven's sake, come quickly, I can't wait to get better and avenge my soldiers!"

Rickard Karstark gritted his teeth and said, the military doctor did not show politeness to him and cut directly with the knife in his hand.

If the rotten flesh is not removed, the wound will never heal, and the long-term pain will be worse than the short-term pain.

Rickard Karstark had a stick stuffed in his mouth, his face turned pale with pain, he was sweating on his forehead, and there was a faint smell of blood in the bakery. Obviously, this military doctor's skills were pretty good. .

There are almost no full-time doctors in Westeros. This guy is so skilled at cutting people. Clay can be sure that this guy is probably engaged in the butchering industry in peacetime. Otherwise, he would never be able to cut meat from people. Shaking.

Gee, how should I put it, it can be regarded as a professional counterpart in a sense, maybe?

…

After dealing with Rickard Karstark, Clay successfully completed the reorganization of the more than 70 people. Clay dispersed the more than 70 people into his own team, and specifically warned each team The captain is optimistic about them.

It wasn't Clay who believed in these people who had fought with him when he went south. If the news leaked, his plan would face great risks.

If John Royce knew that a force of nearly ten thousand people was rushing toward them in his rear area, Clay believed that he would not hesitate for even a second and would immediately reinforce Earl Harroway's small army with all his strength. town.

That place was nothing to lose to the people of the valley, but they suddenly won the victory and thought there was no threat from the north, so they took it lightly.

After helping Rickard Karstark onto a horse that was easier to control and had a docile temperament, Clay looked at the deserted town and issued the latest order:

"Krison, take five hundred people across the bridge and walk a few more times to fake the traces of our entire army crossing the bridge."

"Then you lead your army back across the river again. Remember, this time, keep two horses in a row, go west, and reduce your traces as much as possible. At the same time, demolish the bridge for me, but don't demolish it completely. Make He looked like he was evacuating in a hurry.”

"Make sure they can repair the bridge and let them cross the Blue Fork River to continue chasing. Do you understand what I mean?"

After Clay's explanation, Krison thought for a while after hearing the order, and understood the key point of Clay's order.

The core of the core is to pretend that on their side, the entire army has evacuated to the east of the Blue Fork River, and lure the valley people behind to cross the river to pursue them.

As long as they cross the river without their own side crossing, by the time they react, their own side will already be far enough away from them.

Moreover, this is a town, and there are dense woods growing around it. It is very easy to cover up the traces of the movement of large troops, making it the best place to deceive people.

"I understand, Mr. Clay, I will take the brothers there right now."

Clay nodded slightly. This boy's understanding was pretty good. There was really no one on his side. The only nobleman, in order to attract them to divide their troops, led his people to the north.

"I will lead the people to retreat into the woods first, and at the same time cover my whereabouts. I won't wait for you. You just need to remember that after completing my order, immediately march towards the Xizitan Ferry. I will wait for you there."

"Go ahead and don't let me down."

For some reason, Clay wanted to hear a firm tone of voice, "Promise to complete the mission!"

But Clay knew very well that his wish would never be realized in this world. Kerrison in front of him had already turned his horse and rode towards the 500 people that Clay had rowed past.

Shaking his head slightly to get rid of all the distracting thoughts in his mind, Clay ordered the troops to start walking towards the woods on the west side of the Beauty Collection.

During this period of time, it didn't rain, and the ground was relatively dry. Although it took time to clean up the traces, it was actually much easier than the mud after the rain.

On Krissen's side, the five hundred cavalry also put on a posture of more than a thousand people, and began to cross the river in a swaggering manner. The horses' hoofs trampled on them, making the entire bridge head fly into dust, and there were horse hoof prints everywhere.

This kid was afraid that the valley people behind him wouldn't be fooled, so his performance was extremely impressive.

Clay looked at him with a smile, whipped his horse, and walked towards the west.

…

Clay had no intention of sending Rickard Karstark back to the Twins, even though he could.

In the entire northern battlefield of the Riverlands, including the two thousand cavalry in hand, there were more than 10,000 troops directly under Clay's command.

Here, there are infantry, cavalry, people from the river, people from the north, and people from beyond the wall.

It can only be said that the ingredients are so complex that Clay cannot describe them at all.

And he is not a transport captain, dedicated to micro-management, nor will he issue an outrageous order to move the front line five meters to the left.

Based on this situation, he needs a large number of people to command the troops for him.

At least the Eastern Army has to fight a defensive battle. If there is no experienced guy to arrange it, and these new recruits are expected to organize the defenses by themselves, the casualties will skyrocket.

The military doctor had repeatedly assured Clay that there would be absolutely no health problems with Count Rickard Karstark, and that he would always be watching over him and pay attention to his physical condition at all times.

If that's the case, then it's no wonder Clay, it's up to you!

Rickard Karstark didn't know yet that he had been captured by Clay and was going to help Clay command the army in the future. He was lying on the horse a little weakly at this time, but his mind was very clear.

He didn't quite understand why Clay wanted to go directly west. Wouldn't he reach the Twins after crossing the Blue Fork River and heading north?

"Master Clay, what are we doing?"

After holding it back for a long time, Rickard Karstark finally asked this question. He didn't like this kind of life without any information at all, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

"Ha, of course we have to go south. Behind us, three thousand cavalry in the valley are chasing us. If we don't run, will we wait for them to catch up and stab us to death with their thin needles?"

When Rickard heard that there were three thousand people chasing him in the valley, his waist immediately stopped hurting and he said eagerly:

"Three thousand people, Lord Clay, how do you plan to deal with them?"

The old guy was very anxious when he saw it, and his saliva was flying.

"I must remind you, sir, that their fighting power is very strong. The impact of the cavalry is very powerful, and the vanguards are all plate armor. Sir, you must not underestimate the enemy. You must not make the mistake His Majesty Robert made again!"
