Game of Thrones: I Created the Magic Web

Chapter 209: Light and Darkness

Tengshi Town was silent, with only a faint firelight flickering.

"Blackfish" led the team, quietly approaching.

In addition to the task of breaking through the northern defenses of Tengshi Town, he was also responsible for commanding the entire vanguard.

Ser Kevan had given "Blackfish" two thousand men.

The Riverlands cavalry, mainly from House Piper of Pinkmaiden Castle and House Vance of Wayfarer's Rest, were responsible for attacking Tengshi Town from the west, destroying fortifications and those who dared to resist, and capturing enemy generals.

This part of the vanguard only had one thousand men, but Ser Jaime had given them three hundred Holy Warriors.

The Vale cavalry, mainly from House Waynwood of Ironoaks and House Templeton of Ninestars, had their battlefield in the south.

In addition to their own two thousand cavalry, they were accompanied by another two hundred Holy Warriors.

The southwest and north were under attack, leaving only the east open.

But if Tengshi Town really dared to escape or even detour from the east, the hundreds of cannons placed on the hills would let them know that the east was the most dangerous dead end.

Clop, clop, clop.

The soft sound of hooves stopped hundreds of paces away from the rebel camp.

The final calm.

"Blackfish" looked at the battle map in the light curtain, still amazed.

The dense blue dots represented his own soldiers, now gradually converging, forming three blue light bands, surrounding Tengshi Town in the middle.

Tengshi Town had also been completely exposed.

The enemy troops, squeezed into a pile, could no longer be represented by red dots, only patches of red spots and red circles.

"Blackfish" continued to zoom in on the battle map.

Each house in the town showed several or dozens of red dots.

The rebuilt castle in the center of the town could originally only supply a hundred guards, but now it was stained with a deep, dark red. At least five hundred people or more.

Even though it was already so crowded, Tengshi Town was still not enough to house thirty thousand soldiers.

The remaining people were stationed outside the town.

They turned into a circle of red light bands surrounding Tengshi Town in the middle.

East, west, north, and south, each side had a most vivid red spot, like a button, and the red in other places was connected into a piece, like red silk.

It was almost as many as the red inside the town. That is to say, at least ten thousand people.

At this point, the enemy's troop deployment was clear at a glance.

With this advantage alone, "Blackfish" was confident that he could defeat ten times the enemy with one thousand cavalry.

And the surprises given by the light curtain were more than just this.

The troops were basically in place. "Blackfish" operated continuously on the light curtain, planning and selecting the safest and most efficient attack routes for each unit.

The map not only showed the activity status of the enemy troops, but also all the roads, fortresses, warehouses, strongholds, fortifications, trenches, and traps. Of course, there were also gaps and weaknesses that the rebels had neglected to defend.

"Blackfish" couldn't ask for more.

But he actually had more to rely on. Holy Warriors who could fight ten against one, violent and fierce cannons, the rearguard of more than six thousand people responsible for suppressing the formation, God-given creations for night raids…

"Blackfish" had never fought such a battle.

It was like an adult condescendingly teaching a disobedient child, relaxed and comfortable, with everything under control.

No wonder King Joffrey wanted to "forgive".

"Blackfish" couldn't help but imagine. With such power, the complete surrender of the Seven Kingdoms was not a difficult problem at all. What was the difference between the Reach, the Riverlands, and Dorne?

Every time one more person died, there would be one less of the king's subjects.

It should be because of this.

"Blackfish" no longer dared to look at Joffrey with his previous eyes. After this willful prince became king, it seemed that he was really inspired by the gods, abandoned many bad habits, but often acted unexpectedly.

At least not the worst king in the history of the Seven Kingdoms.

Undoubtedly the most legendary and mysterious king. Perhaps, he might also be the most respected king.

Lannister, or Baratheon?

"Blackfish" didn't really care. Wasn't kneeling to anyone still kneeling? Anyway, the position of House Tully in the Riverlands would not change, as long as they were loyal to the king.

"Blackfish" was very relieved about this.

Family, responsibility, honor. All of these required House Tully to be loyal to the king, and besides, the king was bound to win.

The entire vanguard had completely arrived.

It was time.

But on the eve of the battle, a strange sense of unease suddenly arose in his heart, as if something terrible was about to happen. But after thinking about it, he couldn't figure it out, and didn't know the reason.

Thousands of people were waiting for him to speak.

Suppressing his irritability and hesitation, "Blackfish" said in a hoarse voice: "Attack!"

Shoo—shoo—

The cannons in the east cooperated very well in launching "candles". The flashing shells made a roaring whistle, resounding through the sky.

The "candles" floated in the night sky, and Tengshi Town was as bright as day.

"Long live the King!"

"For Casterly Rock! Hear me roar!"

Warhorses carrying armor streamed past "Blackfish", roaring and shouting, rushing towards the enemy camp at full speed.

"Blackfish" stood still, quietly observing the light curtain.

The three cavalry forces had all begun to charge, and the blue light bands gradually turned into sharp wedges, nailing towards the weakest gaps in Tengshi Town.

The weak point on the north side was an empty camp, without soldiers. Perhaps they were patrolling at night, or perhaps the sentries outside the town had been taken down. In short, these camps posed almost no threat and could be crossed without injury.

The loophole on the south side was the camp of prostitutes. Anyone could easily enter, just like the prostitutes themselves.

As for the west…

"House Piper, follow me to kill the enemy!" The hot-tempered Ser Marq Piper took the lead.

"Long live Wayfarer's Rest!"

Caryl Vance refused to fall behind Marq Piper. Otherwise, it would be terrible if others mistakenly thought that House Piper was the leader of this force.

And that was certainly not the case.

House Piper was simply not worthy of comparison with House Vance.

As everyone knew, House Vance ruled over a wider territory than the liege lord House Tully itself, and could recruit more troops.

Although it was the combination of the two branches of Atranta and Wayfarer's Rest.

But this was enough to prove that the strength of Wayfarer's Rest was by no means comparable to that of ordinary lords. Even within this force alone, the cavalry of Wayfarer's Rest was twice that of House Piper.

"House Vance, charge!"

Caryl Vance kept urging his mount, constantly accelerating, and finally caught up with Marq Piper before engaging the enemy.

"Let's see who gets there first!"

Marq Piper glanced to the right, only seeing the sigil of Wayfarer's Rest on that armor. But he knew who the visitor was.

"Caryl, this time I want your horse."

Caryl Vance only felt the burgundy birthmark under his helmet was heating up, "Win me first!"

He spurred his horse, exceeding by half a body length.

Marq Piper rarely calmed down a bit, "Don't charge too recklessly, be careful of explosions."

Caryl Vance immediately sobered up a lot. Looking at the chaos ahead and the sharp cheval de frise, he finally slowed down.

There was a river blocking the way on the west side, and the rebel camp stretched all the way to the riverbank. The passage crossings and dry riverbeds were equipped with strict cheval de frise. According to the plan, "water droplets" were to be used here to clear the way.

Bang bang bang~

The "water droplets" shattered the obstacles in front of them.

"Haha, don't forget my horse!" Before the water mist had dissipated, Marq Piper actually rushed over.

Liar! Caryl Vance gritted his teeth.

At this time.

The light gradually dimmed. Shadows increased.

Caryl Vance looked up, and the "candle" was falling and extinguishing.

And then.

Light disappeared. Darkness returned again. Until more than a dozen breaths had passed.

Shoo—

The second round of light rose.
