The dripping rain and the sound of rushing water almost blocked out any noise on the island.

After the Vanguard Army's ferry operations were assigned, Duncan began his final pre-war mobilization on the sandy island.

"Everyone listens, although the hunting crossbow generally equipped by the other party is less powerful, but on the wall of the opponent's military town, there are also stones prepared in advance, close to the size of half a human head, and they are smashed down, even if our brains are hard, they can't stop it, and the instant skull burst is considered lucky, bad luck, and it directly becomes a corpse with a smashed head, so when the war officially starts, the coordinated operation of the crossbowmen and the sword and shield soldiers is particularly important, and the respective squad leaders should do more temporary command exchanges on the battlefield, okay, don't talk nonsense, the lord is staring at you in the sentry tower behind you, which squad wants to drive out a bad seed, I will lead the warlord, the first to behead his squad leader.

Now, the Gripen Legion Vanguard Regiment begins to cross the river. ”

Beyond the islet in the river is the famous Ruby Beach, the only crossing outside of Twin Cities on the Green Fork River in the river, this rocky beach is different from the island in the river where the Gripen's vanguard army is located today.

It was a real highland, almost never submerged by the Trident River, but it was not too big for the island, about 50 meters long and 40 meters wide, but there was a tall three-story white-stone wall inn built on top of the protruding riverbank.

Rubies are named after the Battle of the Ancient Trident, when some rubies fell from the breastplate of the dragonborn Rhaegar Targaryen.

Ruby Beach has a low bridge that connects to the dirt road in front of the gate of Earl Harriway.

Because from this place is the only ferry port north to the Twin River City, the ferry inn here used to be very prosperous.

However, it was destroyed during the Battle of Ruby Beach during the War of the Five Kings.

Peelluth Bolton Sr., who was still the commander of the Stark coalition at the time, had led an army of 6,000 men out of Harrenhal for the Twin Rivers, and he deliberately slowed down his march, and when the army reached Ruby Beach, the river was swollen, and Bolton ordered his army to use small boats to cross the river.

As a result, the army could only cross the river in batches, and by the time the pursuers of the "Magic Mountain" arrived, Luce Burton's descendants had already crossed the river first.

Remaining on the other side of the river were 2,000 men led by Willis Mandalay, consisting mainly of soldiers from House Locke and Nori and Berelli from the hill clans, all loyal to the Stark family's forces, with the exception of a few White Harbor Knights.

Despite Sir Willis's hard fight, the Northern army was outnumbered, and a large number of men and horses were forced into the river to drown, while the rest were either killed or captured, and only a few survived. Willis Mandalay himself was captured. Luce Burton, on the other hand, could only watch them be annihilated on the other side of the river.

Harry Kane, the distant commander of the vanguard of the raid, suddenly moved as he skimmed the shadows of the crumbling stone-walled inn attic.

In the faint light of the night, his face was solemn, his eyes swept over the dilapidated attic planks of the inn next to him, and then looked at the vanguard infantry in front of him who were reinforcing a flooded low bridge, he subconsciously held the hilt of the sword a little tighter, and said to the crossbowmen passing by in a deep voice: "Go and pass my order, pull two teams of longbowmen, and let them garrison the three-story attic of the inn, which is a good observation point, and also build some simple fortifications, which can effectively cover the crossing of the river by the companions behind." ”

"Yes, sir. ”

Soon, two teams of longbows with long quivers coming from the rear entered the store through the half-open dilapidated inn door, and the sound of trampling on the wooden stairs of the corrupt inn sounded one after another.

Harry Kane didn't stay longer, and continued to move forward with the other crossbowmen, and the front line fifty meters away had already passed through the low bridge of the flood, and the first vanguard army had officially crossed the river safely, and was quietly approaching the enemy watchtower that they did not know about.

The rain in the sky didn't seem to stop, and the skewed raindrops continued to drift crookedly in the night.

As time went on, soon more and more soldiers succeeded in crossing the river.

As Harry Kane stepped onto the unstable flooded bridge, dogs barked from under the watchtower on the opposite bank.

The people on the bridge suddenly stepped forward for a while, and stepped up the pace of the ferry.

Harry Kane stepped on the muddy ground on the riverbank, and after crossing the Trident River as well, the barking of dogs turned into howling, and at the same time, a burst of shouting and neighing of horses also rang out.

Then, under the towers of the Lannisters who were crossing the river in two places, the jingle of weapons was soon heard.

Harry Kane did not stop at the crossing, according to the plan, his crossbowmen, except for the crossbowmen of the first and second echelons, did not stop here, and went straight to the sword and shield soldiers to raid the tower, and the rest of the soldiers would wait for orders at the right slope of the estuary.

Harry Kane followed his men and found five teams that crossed the river first, including three teams of longbowmen and two crossbowmen, who were currently assembled here.

There was no time to wait for more reinforcements to follow, the alarm bell had already sounded in the town of Harroway, and there were already many enemy troops holding fire handles on the wall of the town not far away.

The enemy figures on the city wall flickered, and the first group of assault infantry under the city had almost charged to the slope of the city wall fifty meters away.

Harry Kane hurriedly ordered, "The Longbow team is a hundred meters away from the remote suppression, and contact the follow-up team not far away, the others follow me, immediately go to reinforce under the city wall, remember to aim and shoot later, at night, the enemy can't see our position clearly, the first round of attacks strive to cause the most damage!"

These words are actually things that are well known.

But Harry Kane still repeats before the war.

As long as he can win this battle and win this crucial siege battle, let alone tell him once, even if he tells him hundreds of times, Harry Kane is willing.

As a key battle to cross the river, and it is the lord who personally supervises the battle in the rear, as long as it can be won, it is a huge and incomparable glory.

Numerous torches were lit on the other side of the river, and the raid officially began, and Lynn saw that the whole army had begun to cross the river from all the banks of the river, and the cavalry at the end of the line led the horses, and had entered the small island in the middle of the river, and began to advance towards the ruby beach, and then walked down from the tower.

There was a commotion from under the tower.

"Be quiet!"

One of the generals who had been patrolling the shore turned his head and reprimanded, only to find Lynn's figure appearing under the tall tower behind him.

At the same time, there was also the lord's guard, which had been regrouped from the Gripen Legion, and these cavalrymen, who had once belonged to the Gripen Guard, rushed to Lynn's left and right under the leadership of Han Niu.

The general, who had just spoken out as a reprimand, quickly came to Lynn with his head down, and he looked at Lynn in surprise and then at the Guards Regiment behind him.

He bowed and cautiously reminded, "My lord, the front is very dangerous. ”

Looking at the sad appearance of this general, Lynn smiled slightly, looked at the hot scene on the other side through the rain curtain and smiled: "It's okay, you continue to be on duty, I'll go to Ruby Beach to see the situation first, you just do a good job of receiving the wounded and guarding against the enemy from other places to cross the river by boat and raid." ”

As he spoke, he ordered Han Niu who came over: "Han Niu, you lead the guards to lead the way, we cross the river together, the soldiers fought bloodily, as the lord, although I am not good at risking my life, but I also want them to know that I am still their strongest backing." ”

Han Niu grinned, pounded his chest and roared, his voice thunderous.

"Understood. ”
