Game of Thrones: Lord of Winter
Chapter 40 Charge!
Tyrion hugged the camp prostitute that Bronn had found for him. He originally wanted to find one for Cole, but two days ago he and his uncle Kevan led troops to Riverrun to support his brother.
The girl named Shae was sleeping quietly, while Tyrion stared at the cone of the tent in ecstasy.
Cole asked for 400 horses, which, together with his original 600 cavalry, formed a cavalry battalion of 1,000 men. The remaining people were led by the red-handed man who dug out one of his eyes. Then, follow the army to fight the northerners.
Tyrion now nominally leads four thousand people, but he knows that none of these people will really listen to him. Only those closest to him are the Stone Crows, who can barely give orders.
Tyrion has a deep understanding of how capable these tribesmen are of causing trouble, robbing things, killing people, and getting into fights over trivial matters.
His father warned him several times that if he could not restrain these barbarians, he would ask the soldiers to show them some color. Tyrion knew that this was just his father trying to scare him. The war was approaching, and Stark's northern territory The army is already less than a day away from here. Civil unrest is not an option.
After all, it was the eve of the decisive battle. Father Tywin hosted a banquet for the knights and nobles in his barracks. Tyrion also went, but he was so angry that he hadn't even had a good meal yet.
It's not just Tyrion who's offended, Cole is too.
Ser Kevan had a strong opinion of him and was sarcastic along the way. If he hadn't stopped him, his hot-tempered Firemen would have killed him long ago. Of course, the knights around him are not vegetarians, and he will definitely suffer if they fight.
Fortunately, they were already close to Riverrun. All they had to do was bring the news before the Young Wolf Lord led his northern knights to kill the Lannister army, and then gather the three armies besieging the city into a compressed formation to hold on. It is definitely no problem to go up for four or five days, and it is even possible to force the cavalry back. After all, there are tens of thousands of troops here.
They led the army up the hill, where they could already see Riverrun in the distance. Looking at the sparks there, interspersing with the stars in the sky, Ser Kevan couldn't help but mock, "I'm afraid that just by seeing the sparks, Stark's wolf cubs will... He will be so scared that he wets his pants, and then goes back to his castle to ask for milk from his wet nurse.”
His eyes were fixed on Cole, and his intention to criticize Huai was obvious.
Cole ignored it. Ever since the old man found out that he couldn't beat him, he just kept talking to his heart's content.
"Sir Kevan, remaining polite in the face of your enemies is also a sign of magnanimity."
His face turned red with anger. Compared with his brother Tywin, he was indeed a few steps behind. At least in terms of facial expression management, this Lannister was not as calm and calm as the Duke.
"I don't know what you told Tywin, but I will not hand over a Lannister knight to a little brat easily." He threatened fiercely.
"You must have confidence in the Duke, Sir."
Tywin didn't tell him anything, but asked him to cooperate with this kid. This made Kevan, who had always been a confidant of Tywin's siblings, feel aggrieved. At this time, he should be leading the army to fight against the northern army.
However, he felt somewhat comforted by the thought that he was coming to cooperate with his nephew in attacking Riverrun. Maybe he saw that his nephew was not stable enough, so he let him come here to take charge of the overall situation.
Suddenly, the sparks at the northern end of the Red Fork River became violent. In the eyes of Cole and Ser Kevan, they were like exploding stars, and they became more and more intense.
Kevan was wondering, could it be that their army was attacking the city at night? However, it was his own camp that was burned down.
Could it be that he was attacked? How is that possible? !
"It seems we have to speed up, Lord Kevan." Cole said abruptly.
Kevan refused to believe it anymore, and the fact was still presented before him, that is, someone was attacking the Lannister camp.
Cole turned the horse's head to tell something behind him, and then rode down the hill.
Kevan followed closely, and a torrent of red steel surged in the wilderness outside the city. Cole's cavalry looked weak, but their momentum was not weak at all. After all, they were fierce people of fire.
Kevan stared straight at the back in front of him, constantly asking in his mind, how did he know, where did the team that attacked the siege army come from, and who was commanding it.
He really wanted to stop this damn brat and interrogate him, but the situation now waited for no one.
When they were only two or three miles away from Riverrun, the boy stopped his horses suddenly and reined in all the cavalry under his command. He turned around and said in an extremely powerful tone, "Lord Kevan, we are at this moment. This is what Lord Tywin is worried about, and I will be in charge of the entire battlefield at this moment."
Kevan had nothing to say and lowered his head silently. "yes."
Cole showed a smile. This place was just upstream of the Tengshi River. The Lannister military camp was stationed along the bank. At the north end of the camp was a mountain forest. At this time, the camp was already in chaos.
Jaime divided the Lannister army of tens of thousands into three groups, and the northern end was the camp that was now penetrated by the Northern Knights.
Riverrun City is also built on a dangerous spot, which is the intersection of two rivers. The south side of the city wall is divided into three pieces of land by the river like a cake. It was just a place for James to set up three camps.
The middle camp and the north camp are separated by a Tengshi River. The river is now covered with people and boats. Some people are jumping into the river from the north bank to escape, while others are coming from the south bank to support them.
Cole couldn't help shaking his head. The commander of the middle camp was also a fool. After the fall of the North, he should have gathered the remaining soldiers and joined the South Camp as soon as possible, instead of supporting the North Camp like a headless fly.
After all, there was a river between them. It was not good for cavalry and infantry to fight on water. Even if they took the trouble to get ashore, what awaited them was only a difficult landing battle.
The water was surging, and the North Camp was also in chaos with fire. The cavalry of the North was killing.
Cole opened the Eye of Time and looked away. There were three or four times as many cavalry in the North. It would be useless if they went in headfirst.
"Sir Kevan, take a small team to take over the South Camp. Don't let them collapse." Cole quickly ordered him.
He was about to say something, but he shut up again after thinking about it. He handed the flag to Cole, and then ordered a few men to ride away.
"Duoqi, lead your brothers to cut trees." He whispered a few words in the ear of Duoqi of the Flame Guard.
Then he quickly drew his sword and shouted to the back, "Flamemen and Lannister warriors, follow me and charge!!!"
More than 1,500 knights followed Cole down the river, shouting and killing.
In the camp full of fire and smoke, someone shouted, "Reinforcements are coming! Reinforcements are coming!"
The banner with the roaring lion was shining brightly under the fire, and the fire behind the knights was like a red sun rising into the night sky.
