Chapter Eighty-Six: The Fleet Is Coming
The sun rose and appeared in front of Lynn's eyes like a bridgehead of a tall ghost.
There are two stone castles in the city of Twin Rivers, which are separated on both sides of the river, mirrored in pairs, and connected by a huge stone arch bridge.
In the center of the bridge is the Weihe Tower, and the rushing river flows through the water gate under the tower.
Two huge Iron River Gates can intercept all passing ships, and last night's precipitation made the Green Fork River greener and mudier, and the current more turbulent.
Looking north along the river, there were several boats, and the shadows of ships flying flags of indistinct colors and patterns could be faintly seen.
Lynn knew that the reason why she couldn't see the flag colors was because most of the flags were similar to the muddy green of the Green Fork River, and were also green shading.
In fact, the Zeren knight beside him was the first to remind him.
"Patriarch Holland's fleet is here. ”
Lynn looked at the end of the river, nodded slightly, and said to Sterling beside him, "Go and inform Sir Duncan to prepare to attack." ”
As long as there are Holland's Zeren warships on the river as support, there is no need to cower too much on the stone arch bridge, it is time to take control of the bridge and advance the formation to the stone castle across the river.
At this time, a soldier rushed to Lynn's side.
"My lord, Commander Rodat has arrived with the infantry and archers of the Cavalry. ”
"It's better to come early than to be coincidental," said Lynn, smiling, "and let Rodat come to me, and let the Tiger and Cavalry infantry be under his command, and let the Knights of the Stone Husband join Sir Duncan's Knights." ”
As Duncan's former squire knight, Shifu has an excellent battlefield understanding with Duncan, and he is in charge of the middle army of the Gripen Knights, which can make the knights exert more powerful combat power.
"Yes, sir. ”
Lynn, who has had several experience in exploding troops, after many observations of systematic soldiers, found that the pure combat attributes of the same level of troops themselves are almost the same, but the leadership and command skills are uneven.
For example, Rodat is more gifted in command than the legendary knight-turned-stone man.
Sir Duncan, on the other hand, is upper-middle in all aspects, and apart from his poor communication, he is almost the most perfect type of subordinate in the eyes of the lord.
Harry Kane, who is also a Rider, is an accurate shooter with a certain amount of leadership, but not outstanding.
Lynn felt that when his men became stronger in the future, he should provide a mechanism for selecting generals for the system soldiers, and make the best use of his talents.
Rodat led the cavalry group and came to Lynn.
He saluted a standard subordinate salute, and before he could speak, he heard the sound of the unison hooves of the Knights of the Gripen.
This is the Knights preparing to attack.
After taking over the command of the Tiger Regiment from Lynn, Rodat tentatively asked, "My lord, do you want to let all the crossbowmen in the Horse Regiment and the Tiger Regiment follow, so that Duncan's Knights can advance forward?"
Lynn thought for a moment and waved her hand to refuse.
"No, as long as the knights can successfully break through the shield soldiers of Twin River City and cross the first line of defense, the archers of the Frey family will not want to withdraw from the stone arch bridge. ”
Lynn's voice was soft, but full of affirmation, "You arrange for six hundred infantry to follow. The spearmen of the Xiao Cavalry Regiment and the infantry of the Tiger Regiment are in front, just let the crossbow team behind them, and finally arrange a light infantry to press the formation in Dongshi Castle.
The chief and deputy commanders of the assault and the pressing formation were selected from the Xiao Cavalry Regiment and the Tiger Ben Regiment respectively. I have heard of the marksmanship of the swamp dwellers, as long as Holland's warship arrives outside the Beihe Gate, and his archers can guide our front army to take control of the stone arch bridge, and we will wait for the Greyjoy family at the West Gate to perform. ”
"Your Excellency...... In case the Iron Islanders don't attack the West Gate," Rodat had a general understanding of Lynn's arrangement, and he thought for a moment and said worriedly, "Then wouldn't it be a dilemma for our army to be frozen on the stone arch bridge." ”
"Don't worry, the Iron People are more anxious than us, we and the Ze people will press the army to the stone castle on the other side of the river, no matter whether the Iron People attack or not, the Frey family who is surrounded will become a frightened bird, as long as he is not stupid, he will invest all his forces, and the sooner he enters Xicheng, the sooner he can snatch the fruits of victory. ”
Rodat knew what Lord Lords were referring to.
The Twin Rivers have been occupied by the Frey family for generations, and they have made a fortune by collecting fees to cross the river and bridge, and they don't even give face to the Northern Alliance, they refuse to receive any less gifts, and even plan to arrange for their daughter to play the role of a queen of the North.
The Frey family's fortune, without much guesswork, is sure to be a staggering amount.
In the face of this wealth, Lynn promised to give them the Twin Castles in advance, and these iron people would not give up this low-hanging fruit.
Everyone understands the principle of first-come, first-served.
Of course, you also need to have enough strength to hold the fruit.
Rodat, who was no longer worried, said goodbye and left, and the Tiger Regiment and the Xiao Cavalry Regiment still needed to be temporarily reorganized, and arranged for Lynn to give the next instructions.
At this time.
The Knights of the Gripen swept past Lynn, and many of the knights looked at their master, Lynn, with reverence and pride.
It is like a proud child who is being watched, facing the encouragement of parents.
The cavalrymen only felt an inexplicable feeling of blood surging in their chests.
Seeing the Knights of the Gripen, nearly 300 knights passed through the stone castle at the head of the East Twin River City and stepped on the stone arch bridge deck.
They flashed their carbines one after another, preparing for the final sprint.
Lynn's deep gaze looked at Xicheng on the other side of the Green Fork River, which was not very clear.
He muttered, "After paying so much, are you finally going to take it?"
Bridgehead.
When the sun rises, golden sunlight falls on the bridge deck.
After the battle between last night and this morning, the blood-colored bridge deck was lit up red.
When the stagnant water mixes with the blood, it reflects a deadly light red glow in front of the eyes.
Duncan looked blankly ahead, and the flag officer behind him held a Gripen flag, hunting in the wind of the Green Fork River.
"Knights of Gripen!"
"Forward!"
Duncan drew the long sword nearly two meters from his waist, raised the sword and shouted, and then urged the war horse under the seat without hesitation, and took the lead and killed it.
Brienne, the beauty, will soon follow, her face silent, and she will walk with her horse.
The knights' horses trampled on the stone bridge deck, making a rumbling sound that shook the entire river valley.
The Ze soldiers who were in charge of the sneak attack were almost killed and wounded under the suppression of the shield bearers.
A badly wounded clay warrior with a neck fell on the wheel of a nearby wooden cart, his abdomen stabbed by a short blade, and his thigh pierced by a long sword.
The whole person seemed to be rolling in the blood-colored mud, and his whole body was dyed with a layer of bright red.
He heard the deafening sound of horses' hooves behind him, and with the last strength of his body, he looked up at the surging knights like the Grim Reaper, and smiled miserably.
On the battlefield, every soldier has the consciousness of death.
Before he died, he could hear the hooves of his allies and imagine that they were about to avenge his sword.
This is the best hymn to death.
