Parked next to the thirty or so mounted guards were seven or eight horse-drawn carriages and bullock carts.
Mrs. He'an glanced to the west and said, "Still not here. The cavalry from the Western Region has not arrived at Heron Town yet. Should we leave later?"
The manager, Richard, looked at his elderly master anxiously, "You just get on the carriage and run away. The spies of the Lion Army have all appeared in front of Heron Town openly. If you don't run away, I'm afraid they won't be able to escape. The cavalry of the Western Region
Not all of them are nobles, so I'm afraid you won't get better if you fall into their hands."
"I still think we can wait. I don't know why, but Bracken looks very reliable." Mrs. Hean was tired of standing, so she sat down on the low stool on the carriage.
Richard was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, and the guards around him helplessly looked at his gradually fainting lord, shaking their heads and smiling bitterly.
"I'm really impressed by you. It's burning my ass, but you're still so leisurely."
Richard complained repeatedly, but still could not motivate his lord to lift his butt and get on the carriage.
At this moment, there was a slight vibration on the ground.
"Hurry up and get in the carriage. Tywin's cavalry is coming." Richard was shocked. He didn't think about why the advance cavalry from the West came so quickly. He directly helped the old woman's armpits, thinking of carrying her into the carriage.
Mrs. He'an sat and calmed down for a while, came back to her senses, looked at the shaking north, and felt relieved.
"Richard, these are the cavalry from our Hejian people. That Arthur has brought people to rescue me."
Richard was slightly startled, turned to the north, and saw that it was indeed the cavalry from the Riverlands: "Lord Edmure has sent people to rescue us. The Tully family are real relatives."
Minissa Tully, wife of Lord Hoster of the Tully family, was from the He'an family. Although Mrs. He'an and she were just sisters-in-law, in terms of kinship, the Tully family was the closest to the He'an family.
The Steward of Harrenhal squinted his eyes and recognized the banner of the incoming army.
"Silver eagle flag on purple background, black peasant flag on rice dumpling background, black dragon and golden eye four-point flag, green dragon and white tower four-point flag, the people coming are Mallister, Darry family, Traveling City Vance, Aran City
From Vance’s family.”
While thinking about it, he sighed:
"It seems that Lord Edmure has not forgotten your aunt. After all, relatives are the only ones who are useful. That Arthur is not reliable at all."
Mrs. He'an shook her head and did not refute her manager. She insisted in her heart that it was the young man Arthur who came.
…
The majestic Harrenhal stands in the distance. From a long distance away, you can clearly see the five huge towers reaching into the sky.
As he rode on horseback and observed the surrounding situation, Arthur felt depressed for a while.
He had previously thought about changing his flag, but always forgot.
This small mistake was revealed in the rescue operation.
The cavalrymen of each family were flying their own flags, which made the farmers seen along the road praise them.
He is the leading general, but he doesn't even have a flag. This is not acceptable.
He can't go out of his way to fight the soldiers in the western border, and his reputation will be given to these families.
Fortunately, there should be a small workshop such as a dyeing workshop in Heron Town, so getting him a flag is not a big problem.
The pattern is slightly changed from Bracken's original flag of gold, shield and red horse.
The golden shield turned into a golden sword, and the red horse turned into a giant horse covered in golden armor.
These are the two traits that Arthur is currently most famous for.
After riding for a while, they finally arrived at the bottom of the huge Harrenhal.
From a distance, Arthur saw that Mrs. He'an was ready to escape.
"Hey, I'm here on time." Arthur took the lead and rushed to the castle gate, shouting to the people of He An's family.
When Mrs. He'an saw that it was exactly the person she expected, she looked happy: "It's quite on time. You told us to wait for three weeks, but you came on the 22nd day."
Arthur shook his head helplessly, "Isn't it that the Magic Mountain is too capable of running away? I chased him from here to the middle section of the Red Fork River. It took me three and a half days, and then another eight days of pursuit, before I found him near the Pink City.
, and then Clegane was killed. It took another five days to go to the Golden Teeth, and then take a boat all the way from Riverrun. It took four days on the water and one and a half days on the land. He hurried and took his time before he came to save him.
you."
He jumped off his horse and walked to Mrs. He'an and Richard, "It seems I came just in time. Where are Tywin's cavalry? How many are there?"
The accompanying Raymond Darry, Patrick, Marco Piper, the sharpshooter Ange, the leader of the Blood Troupe Wagg and others, as well as the cavalry who had been running for a day, also dismounted and drank water, staying where they were.
Pee, pee.
Of course, the horses were also fed by the cavalry.
"Heron Town is only half an hour's ride away from the Western Frontier Cavalry. The spies have already appeared outside the town, which makes the tens of thousands of refugees there very uneasy. At present, the road from here to Heron Town has been blocked by fleeing refugees.
It’s blocked.”
"As for the number of people, there are at least a thousand. Our news was reported by the mayor of the town, and his militiamen only dared to look at it from a distance."
Although he was surprised as to why Arthur was leading the team, Richard promptly told him the information he had.
As the manager of a large castle, his Qi-nurturing skills are quite good, and he does not show what he is thinking on his face.
"You cavalry are ex-army, right? How many men did Lord Edmure send? Eight thousand? Or ten thousand?" the Steward of Harrenhal asked.
"There are seven hundred and eighty-three people now." Arthur replied, "More than three thousand infantry will come later, but they are not sent by Edmure. He wants to fight the Western Division at Riverrun first, and then
Let’s fight Tywin again. These cavalry and subsequent troops are all borrowed by me.”
When setting out from Riverrun, there were 800 cavalry plus 30 people including Raymond, Mako, Patrick, Angewager, etc. However, a few boats capsized. Although the soldiers swam to other boats, the packed armor was not
It sank into the Red Fork River.
What's worse is that some of the horses on the big ship are very seasick. They can still stand in the crowded boat, but they lie down and cannot move when they reach the land.
So after landing on land, Arthur asked the forty-seven soldiers who had lost their armor and whose horses were seasick to stay where they were to look after the poor horses. He brought the remaining 782 people here.
Requesting soldiers for rescue was a big favor. Arthur described the relationship clearly to Mrs. He'an, so that he would not be the one to help, but the Tully family in Riverrun would be the favored one.
A trace of disappointment clearly flashed in Richard's eyes, but he didn't say anything.
Mrs. He'an let out a long sigh.
"I knew that Edmure wouldn't send anyone here. He might not even know where my aunt is. This relative is not very reliable."
"Since you are here, I don't have to run away. Let's go to the castle and rest first. I see that the group of young men behind you are very tired."
Mrs. He'an greeted.
Her servants were clever enough to lead the guests' horses into the castle.
"Wait a minute." Arthur stopped the servants' move, "Tywin's cavalry is not far away, and there are farmers fleeing on the road. The cavalry from the West is coming in a hurry, and they must rob and replenish the army. I have to rescue them.
Landless farmers."
He turned his head towards the soldiers behind him, "You are very tired, but Tywin's cavalry are even more tired. They have been running for five days in a row, and it is time to see the stars. Get on your horses before they can stand still.
, we give them a head-on blow."
Patrick, Marco and several other nobles with higher status also repeated Arthur's order, which made the soldiers who had just dismounted to rest put on their helmets again and mounted their horses.
Arthur also jumped on his giant horse and shouted at Richard: "Don't close the door of Harrenhal. I want the civilians of Harren Town to come in and take refuge."
Richard was stunned, "What are you talking about? Aren't you letting the soldiers from the Western Region come in?"
He did not want to carry out this order. After all, Harrenhal was his master's home fortress, not Arthur's, let alone the exiled civilians'.
"Do as he says." Mrs. He'an stood up and walked to the reinforcements, "Boys, I wish you success in your first battle."
"We will win the first battle!" Arthur turned his horse's head, raised his sword and shouted.
This not only responds to Mrs. He'an, but also improves the morale of the Hejian cavalry.
"Must win!"
The cavalry were also infected by Arthur's majestic fighting spirit. They shouted, and followed the first fierce general from Hejian who ran out first, and rushed towards Heron Town.
Nearly eight hundred people marched together to meet the invaders from the west. The tall back of the golden-armored giant horse at the front gave many people courage and allowed them to dispel the fatigue of pursuing them.
The entire team's will to fight has reached its peak.
Not far away, I saw a large number of civilians driving ox carts or pushing carts themselves, dragging their families and families towards the northeast.
"Go to Harrenhal, where the door will always be open to you." Arthur shouted.
Some cavalry were sent out to carry out the mission of shouting.
Some farmers heard Arthur's words and silently adjusted their direction.
Some are different and still go northeast as before.
Someone even reminded: "Gentlemen, you should go north quickly. Duke Tywin's army has thousands of people, and they are all coming towards this way."
"That's right, how can you fight against Tywin's people with just a few of you? It's more important to save your life."
"There is a man named Arthur the Righteous in the north. It is said that he killed the Magic Mountain. He will protect us."
A group of fleeing farmers said to the passing cavalry.
They were proud of the courage of this group of river cavalry in fighting, but they did not want them to die in vain.
"I am exactly what you call Arthur. Some people call me righteous, while others call me brave." He reined in his horse and shouted.
"If I leave you alone today because of insufficient troops, then I am not worthy of these two titles. Even if the enemy is outnumbered, I will still lead the army to attack until you all safely enter Harrenhal."
"Now, everyone, take refuge in Harrenhal, and then watch us cut down the invaders from the Western Territory."
"Follow me!"
The last shout was to the river cavalry behind him.
The speed of the entire team suddenly increased and they rushed towards the west.
After Arthur shouted, most of the refugees chose to go to Harrenhal. They originally went to join Arthur at the Moulin Rouge. Since the real owner is here, there is no need to go north to cross the Red Fork River.
.
…
Outside the town of Heron.
A Western spy is reporting to Amory Lodge, who is leading the army.
Behind Rocky were 1,500 Western Cavalry wearing crimson robes and black armor.
A league ahead of him, a large group of river cavalry was clearly visible.
"Sir, there are about 800 incoming troops. They are attacking Haijiang City, Darui City, and two Vance family flags. They should be in Riverrun City, but they appear here for some reason."
The professional spies were much more professional than Mayor Heron's militia. They not only accurately provided the number of enemy troops, but also found out their origins.
"Is there anything unusual?"
Rocky, the sworn knight of Casterly Rock, asked.
The Mountain is dead, and he is basically the most powerful sworn knight under Tywin, so it is his turn to seize Harrenhal.
This is a great achievement.
"The leading general rides a giant horse in golden armor and holds a golden sword. He is suspected of being Arthur Bracken in the Battle of Golden Teeth City." The spy replied hesitantly.
He wasn't quite sure that it was Arthur, but the characteristics were too obvious.
In the past ten days, the rumor that Arthur killed 15,000 people in Golden Teeth City in a battle did not dare to come forward has spread throughout the entire Western Army.
After all, no one wants to encounter such a ferocious enemy.
"It doesn't matter if it's him!" Rocky waved his hand, "It's just Arthur, I can kill him with just one hand."
After capturing Harrenhal, the entire southern part of the Riverlands was left to the soldiers of the West.
This is an astonishing achievement.
Rocky had already seen the rewards he deserved after the war: a large castle, a territory worthy of his status, and a wife from a noble family.
Shaking his head, he shouted: "We have twice as many people as them, follow me."
The 1,500 cavalrymen moved slowly, and their speed gradually increased until they were moving at full speed.
In just a moment, the two armies were already very close. After a few breaths, the fighting would begin.
On Arthur's side, nearly 400 cavalrymen from Haijiang City were in the center, and on both sides were nearly 200 cavalrymen from the Vance family.
The entire team, like a giant triangular head, was inserted into the Western Cavalry.
It's just that the person in front of Arthur is not the commander of this army.
Although the soldiers around Rocky were curious about why the charging officer with his sword rushed straight towards the flank of the River Cavalry, they wisely did not question it.
The two cavalrymen collided violently, and the fight began.
