Outside the north gate, coalition soldiers holding torches were arriving one after another.
More than a dozen shield soldiers protected in front of Arthur and others, resisting the crossbow shots from the Western Border soldiers.
Under the threat of giant hammers dripping with a mixture of brains and red blood, these civilian-born Western soldiers did not dare to come forward to fight. Even if they were urged by the noble knights, they would only take two steps forward and one step back, watching as the gentlemen did not pay attention.
Take a step back.
Therefore, the only effective means of attack for the Westlanders was crossbows, but this was expected by Arthur, who had shot a porcupine before. Therefore, when selecting the vanguard to rush to the city gate, twenty Frey family shields were specially mobilized.
soldiers.
The division of labor among the soldiers in the north is not as obvious as that in the south. Most of them are attack units with swords or spears, and there are no specific defensive units.
Seeing that the city gate was crowded with his own soldiers, Arthur ordered to move forward.
In order to boost morale, he also held a large shield in his left hand and a hammer in his right hand, strode forward and took the lead in the charge.
"Follow me."
Although the people in the West looked down upon this reckless man when the city gate was not broken a few days ago, now they have to admit that in frontal combat, this kind of heavily armed reckless man is the most terrifying.
Especially in crowded infantry battles, this heavy-armored man with a hammer is like a crab, walking sideways on the battlefield.
The battlefield gradually moved away from the North Gate, and the battle line suddenly lengthened. This slowed down the speed of the coalition's attack. However, under the leadership of Arthur, Great Jon, Hosteen and other brave generals who dared to fight and charge, the coalition still advanced slowly.
.
Outside the East Fort.
Gareth brought his family's soldiers to carry out the mission given to him by Davon.
After thinking over and over, the person ordered in a deep voice: "Take off your burqa first, so they don't recognize you."
Except for the Lion family, which uses crimson robes as a symbol, the remaining families in the West also follow the common method in the Western Continent, using robes with family emblems to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy.
Therefore, as long as it is not Lao Yinbi pretending to be another family, both warring parties can recognize their family from the decorations on the soldiers.
Just as his soldiers were about to rush in, Sir Gareth said again: "Wait, let me think about it. Kill the people inside who you are not familiar with, and let the ones who look familiar be spared!"
Since Lord Tywin was also a man of honor, all the captured river nobles were treated as normal.
When the war is not urgent, the noble captives in Golden Teeth City can often move around in specific areas of the castle, such as the sanctuary and kitchen.
Some nobles with higher status often interacted with the nobles of the Western Region and wandered around the castle, so they also became familiar among the defenders.
Gareth speculated that Davon's order was to leave the castles on the south bank of the Red Fork River without owners.
The castles of these captured river nobles have been completely ransacked by Amory Lodge and others, and the only remaining family members may be the captives in Golden Teeth City.
So if these people also die, there will be a lot of empty castles on the south bank.
However, a Lannister branch like Davon cannot gain territory in the West.
Because there is a carrot and a pit, the castles and territories in the Western Region also have owners. Even if the owner's family dies, there are still relatives who can inherit it.
However, the inheritance of castles from hostile forces is not so particular. You can pick a few ownerless ones and get them with rewards from the king.
At most, he could marry another female member of the original family and secure his territory.
Commander Davon has territorial claims, but Gareth himself does not. He does not dare to kill the big nobles, he can only clear out the small fish.
The soldiers were ordered to go in and carry out the lord's orders.
The sounds of fighting, the sound of swords clashing with metal and stone, the groans of pain, the roars of horses after stress, and other sounds spread throughout the Golden Tooth City.
In about ten minutes, Arthur led his people to the front of the main castle. After leaving the Great Jon beside him to continue leading the attack, he led a team of people to the East Fort where the captured nobles were imprisoned - this
He had learned the information from Rosso.
The sound of fighting was still heard in the fort within the city, and Arthur swung his giant hammer and fought in.
Behind him, dozens of northern soldiers also charged.
On the other side, Rosso saw Arthur entering the East Castle, sneaking to the city wall and finding his nephew "Aegon the Blood".
"Take advantage of the chaos and kill all the Leffords in the city. They are probably in the West Fort, or they may be near the stables preparing to escape."
"Bloody Aegon" licked his bloody lips and said coldly: "Why should I listen to you? Cripple!"
Rosso knew that his nephew was not very sane, so he did not argue with him about the title issue, and kept urging: "This is what your father Inis and I want, go quickly, if it's a little later, we will take the Golden Tooth City. When we arrive,
It’s not a good time to take action.”
"Aegon the Blood" then led his men to work.
Near the south gate, more than a dozen oxcarts loaded with large boxes had begun to leave the city.
Lodge's soldiers also followed behind the convoy, guarding a carriage.
Davon, who was surrounded by five to six hundred lion soldiers, shouted: "Amory Lodge disobeyed military orders and shot his men to death."
The crossbowmen fired a volley, and a dozen people near the carriage fell to the ground.
Davon looked back at the battle line that had been pushed to the vicinity of the main fort, and thought of the ox convoy and more than 2,000 soldiers that had left the city. Without any hesitation, he ordered the five or six 200-man troops near the south gate to start retreating.
During this process, several of the Rocky soldiers who had fallen to the ground stood up and took advantage of the darkness to sneak away with some of the "Lodge Family Property".
There are nearly a thousand soldiers in the city guarding the road from the north gate to the south gate, but Davon is not sure how many of them are still alive.
After the people who could be taken away were almost gone, he ordered:
"Cavalrymen, go and scatter Rocky's property in front of the South Gate City Cave, and also scatter some in the city cave."
The dozens of Lion cavalry around him strictly carried out this order.
Of course, it was inevitable that some golden dragons would find their way into the soldiers' pockets during the process.
But this is of no consequence. There are a lot of gold dragon coins scattered on the ground, which will make the enemies crowd around the south gate to grab gold, creating conditions for the evacuation of the people from the west.
Time passed quickly, and by the time the soldiers of the Fish-Wolf Alliance arrived near the south gate, it was already getting dark.
Great Jon blinked his eyes and asked aloud: "Am I stupid? Why did I see a pile of gold, jewelry, jewelry, etc. on the ground?"
He was a little confused about the situation, but his soldiers were very clever and bent down to grab it.
Those in the West who were able to escape from the city had already fled, and there were not many enemies near the south gate, so the coalition soldiers felt free to loot the golden dragons and jewelry on the ground.
"Is this the Western Region where gold is everywhere?"
"These are my areas, you go over there and get them."
"Why are we still fighting? Just grab this and go home."
Everyone's mouths were as busy as their hands, and they no longer had any complaints about following the Northern Territory to fight against the King of Three Rivers.
One or two hundred soldiers who rushed to the front caught the news, and by the time those who were slightly behind knew the news, the area near the south gate was already in chaos.
Great Jon also took the opportunity to pick up four or five golden dragons, but he still remembered to chase the enemy and shouted: "Get out of my way!"
However, instead of following the order, the soldiers who were jealous of the gold got into conflict with their companions who had picked up the gold dragon coins.
A full four to five hundred people crowded around the south gate and looted, making it impossible for Greatjon and others to get out. More soldiers also came after hearing the news.
Earl Amber was helpless and took his people to find Arthur, hoping that he could solve the situation.
Second floor of East Fort.
After Arthur kills the last enemy, the blue mission panel appears.
[Mission: Retrieve the three earls and many minor nobles. If completed, the experience will be increased by one thousand, the favorability of all families on the south bank of the Red Fork River will be increased by five, and the favorability of the three earls will be increased by twenty]
Needless to say from experience, these two favorability levels surprised Arthur.
After turning off the lights, he went downstairs to find the rescued river nobles, and began to comfort Clermont, Carlyle and others.
"Where is my son Marco?" Earl Clermont asked first.
After he was captured here, what he was most worried about was not his own territory and castle, after all, they were almost burned down.
Earl Piper is worried about his son Marco Piper.
Arthur's expression darkened, and he replied a little sadly: "Ma Ke, he was killed in the Red Fork River sniper battle."
He told Count Claremont the reasons why Marco responded to Edmure's call and came to participate in the sniper battle on the Red Fork River.
Because he was overly sad, the man's legs became weak on the spot. Arthur, Kalel and others next to him reacted quickly and supported him and placed him on a bench.
"Since Edmure knew that my son was injured, why did he send him to the front line?"
Clemont said sadly.
He knew that his son and Edmure had a good personal relationship, but he didn't expect that his stupid son would go to the battlefield injured.
What chilled him even more was that Edmure didn't stop him.
"Can't the Tully family find a warrior who can replace my son?"
The lord of Pink City sighed. When his castle was burned, the Tully family did not send troops to fight, and his son died because of the Tully family's suicidal resistance.
"Relax, my old man." Count Tristan Legg gently patted Claremont on the back, "You are still young. Old Frey is still marrying a wife at the age of ninety. Why can't you look like your second child?"
What about the second spring? If you marry another one and have a wife, don’t you have as many sons as you want?”
Clemont hated these words very much. His son was upright, straightforward, lively and brave, and was the most proud work of his life.
It was gone like this, which shocked him deeply.
But Earl Legg is also a noble of the same level as him, so he can't refute directly.
After Arthur and others comforted Earl Piper for a few more words, they went out to take care of the affairs in the city.
Twenty or thirty soldiers were left to protect these dozen river nobles.
As soon as he walked out of the East Fort, Arthur was stopped by his ankles by a "corpse" with a big belly.
"Seven Gods, can you stop being so scary?" Arthur almost swung his giant hammer down.
This was a dying Western knight, and next to his huge body lay an inconspicuous young man.
"My lord, may the gods in heaven bless you! There is a child next to me. Can you please not kill him? He is very clever and well-behaved. He is perfect for being a servant or something."
The "corpse" with a big belly may be a reflection of his past, but he speaks very fluently.
"Who are you? Who is he?" Arthur asked the coalition soldiers who were preparing to finish the attack to step back.
"I am Lorimer, the Guardian Knight of Earl Lefford's Baggage Troop. This child is called Podrick Payne. His father died in the Greyjoy Rebellion, and he is considered a miserable man... Ahem, you
Just let him live..."
Before the big-bellied "corpse" could finish his words, he tilted his head and died.
The boy next to him started whimpering softly.
Arthur thought about it for a long time before he remembered the story of this child.
He is a distant relative of the former law enforcer Ilyn Payne. In the original book, he was given to the little devil as a squire before the Battle of the Green Fork, and then followed Brienne the Beauty, hoping to find his nominal mistress.
"Sansa" to know where his master, the little devil, is.
Overall, he is a very loyal and honest servant, and he is taciturn and never reveals secrets.
What's even more surprising is that his force value still has a lot of room for growth.
In the original book, during the Battle of the Blackwater, Podrick knocked the Kingsguard Mandon Moore into the water and drowned him in the river.
As the name suggests, Arthur's personal servant Maydan has no courage or force and can only do the work of packing Arthur's clothes and taking care of his daily life.
Podrick can just fill in Medan's shortcomings.
"Pod, will you be my squire?"
The young man who was still sobbing raised his head and sobbed: "As long as you bury Sir Lorimer with dignity, I will follow you."
"It's a trivial matter." Arthur waved his hand, "Then it's settled. You take off the red cloth armor first to avoid being accidentally injured."
After hearing this, Podrick silently took off his clothes.
At this moment, Great Jon's voice sounded.
"Arthur, you know how to hide. Go to the south gate quickly. I can't hold you back there."
Greatjon walked over quickly with a dozen soldiers.
After Arthur asked Pod to hide in the East Castle, he went to the South Gate with Great Jon and others.
On the way, Earl Amber told Arthur the situation.
"Loki didn't see it. Da Feng also ran away. There was actually gold scattered to the south gate, blocking the pursuit. You are a cunning Westerner."
Arthur sighed.
Great Jon also agreed: "The enemy's means of blocking the attack are so ruthless. I didn't expect to just throw gold at them!"
As a poor Yankee, he really couldn't imagine that he could do this.
When they arrived at the south gate, the situation was even more chaotic than they imagined.
Hundreds of people gathered around and fought, grabbing each other's gold. If it weren't for a few reasonable nobles who were in charge of regulating, this group of people would probably be able to grab it directly with weapons.
"Stop~" Arthur used all his strength to stop drinking.
The sound echoed among the Golden Teeth Mountains, causing the confused coalition soldiers to stop their movements.
One of the tasks was to return the golden dragon that had been robbed by the river nobles, so Arthur still cared about the gold in the hands of the soldiers.
Hundreds of pairs of eyes were staring at their commander. If Arthur couldn't come up with a good solution, he might mutiny on the spot.
Pointing to the surrounding mountains, Arthur said loudly:
"This is Lord Tywin's gold mine. The gold in the hands of the Western soldiers who have just escaped is probably a hundred times more than this. Instead of grabbing those golds measured in pounds, you are competing with your own people here.
, is that true?"
The soldiers looked at each other, but no one said anything.
Those who have already grabbed the gold dragon coins don’t want to fight, while those who haven’t grabbed the gold dragon coins just want to grab those of their companions.
After all, this can be seen. Who knows if there is gold in the commander's mouth.
"I can guarantee that the people in the West have hundreds of kilograms of gold. After we intercept them, everyone will get the gold. I swear to the Seven Gods and the Old Gods."
Arthur made a vow, and then the soldiers began to believe in him.
The soldiers gradually left the crowd, found their lords, and lined up in order.
Seeing that the situation was under control, Arthur summoned the nobles leading the army to discuss how to pursue them.
Bald-headed Inis said: "It's definitely not possible to catch up directly. The river road after Golden Teeth City is in the mountains. If they ambush on the cliffs on both sides, I'm afraid many people will die."
It is indeed impossible to pursue directly. Da Feng will definitely send someone to break up the rear.
Arthur suddenly thought of the path that could bypass Golden Teeth City.
"Greatjon, is it possible to catch up from the path that the direwolf found?"
Earl Jon Amber rolled his eyes and gave a very definite answer: "The enemy ran out with thousands of people, and they will definitely not move quickly. If we run faster, we might be able to intercept them, and then you will be the only one."
, I think we can block this road."
Arthur nodded, "Then it's settled. You go to the north gate and pick 600 soldiers who didn't participate in the battle, and bring a group of good fighters with you. We'll pursue them from the alley."
He looked again and put Rona Stowe and Hosteen in charge of the affairs in the city. He also closed the city gate tightly and no one was allowed to enter through the south gate.
Robbery was also prohibited in the city, and the coalition soldiers who had snatched the gold dragon coins were ordered by Arthur to carry out the commander's orders in a proper manner, and everything would be handled until he came back.
The Frey family's infantry commander Inis was a bit cunning, and Arthur was afraid that he might do some tricks if he stayed here, so he took Baldhead away.
Taking advantage of this interval, the nobles who were preparing to pursue the chase ate some bread and dried meat to fill their stomachs.
Fighting for a long time consumes a lot of energy.
After simple preparations, thirty-six nobles who could fight, three times as many personal attendants, and six hundred soldiers set out on the path to intercept the enemy.
Greatjon, who had walked back and forth twice, was familiar with the road. He led these more than 700 people and began to enter the mountain not far from the north gate of Golden Teeth City.
Although the path winds between cliffs and dense forests, and some sections are only accessible to one person, it is not particularly difficult and the speed of progress is quite satisfactory.
…
In the mountains of the west.
Da Feng, who was riding a horse, was discussing with the nobles of the Western Region how to intercept the pursuers behind them.
"I think I'll send a team of people to block it in a narrow area, as long as it can delay time."
"That Arthur is so powerful that the soldiers have no intention of joining the fight, fearing they won't be able to stop him."
"I don't think there is any need to intercept them. They walk on two legs, and we also walk on two legs. How can the wolf cubs catch up if we set off for such a long time?"
Everyone was talking about it, but there was no plan that satisfied Da Feng.
He looked at his surroundings and suddenly had an idea.
"It is unwise to fight with the enemy." The Golden Lion pointed to the surrounding cliffs, "We will send a team of 100 people to guard here. When the enemy passes by, we will throw stones. I don't believe that he can be harder than the stone.
"
The nobles suddenly realized that this idea was extremely clever, and they all slapped Da Feng on the ass.
The Golden Lion himself was very proud and immediately assigned a team of people to implement the plan.
The people in the Western Region felt at ease and began to curse the Freys who opened the city gate and the enemies who entered the city gate.
What they didn't expect was that the pursuers had already run ahead and were waiting for them to come to the door.
