Chapter 47: Victory
At this moment, the entire battlefield was in chaos, and the northern cavalry rushing from behind was like a raging wave, stronger than another, constantly attacking the rear front of the royalists.
In the chaos of the battlefield, the royalist soldiers had absolutely no idea how many enemies appeared behind them. In addition, the lethality of the heavy armored cavalry is extremely terrifying, and there are many routs in the co-ordination. At a glance, it even seemed that there were thousands of troops charging together, which made the royalist soldiers panic.
The Royalist Front finally collapsed on all fronts, and the defeated soldiers on the rear battlefield led the soldiers on the frontal battlefield to no longer have the intention of fighting, and some broke and fled, and more threw down their weapons and fell to their knees and surrendered.
The rain, pouring down, fell on the battlefield, mixed with blood and water, and flowed slowly......
However, before the end of the war, a heavy cavalry of 2,000 men fought out from the rear of the right flank of the royalist army and charged towards the positions of Sauron and the northern nobles!
"Listen to me roar!"
"Forever!"
"High as glory!"
"Charge! Charge! Charge! ”
The knights shouted the family motto, ignoring the scattered and fleeing warriors, and the horses and knights rushed wildly, cutting down all the enemies in their path, and the banners of the three families were invincible. Affected by this, the originally chaotic royalist army gradually returned to order, and was encouraged by this to organize an effective counterattack.
"It's our turn." Zoro mounted his horse, pulled out the ice, and pointed his sword at the formidable enemy, "My lords, I will fight them and defeat them!" ”
"Kill, ......kill,
The knights, with their spears in their armies, increased their horse's speed to the extreme, charging at their opponents, their spears trembling and correcting their direction, and they wanted to stab their spears into or be pierced by them.
Under the force of such an impact, the heavy armor that was supposed to protect the body was like tissue paper, and the riding spear pierced through their armor without hindrance, and then pierced through the body, and the iron spear head appeared directly from their backs!
The knight who had been shot sprayed a mouthful of blood on his face armor, and then his body shook, and he fell off his horse, and was immediately trampled by the galloping heavy warhorse, steel, flesh, and muddy water mixed into a piece of reddish-brown rotten flesh that could not tell what it was.
After the first wave, most of the mounted spears were broken, and then the knights drew their battle axes, swords, and shields and engaged in the fiercest melee combat.
It was a fierce battle in which steel and flesh were intertwined, tomahawks and swords collided, and the flames of life could be extinguished at any moment. In the icy spring rain, steel resonated, blood sprayed, and the hot breath exhaled by knights in battle rose one after another, and everyone took out their strongest skills to fight and kill.
This battle was destined for the death of many great nobles and knights, and many more went down in history.
Sauron alone against the three knights of "Knight of the Hundred Flowers" Loras Tyrrell, "Hound" Sandor Clegane, and "The Kingkiller" Jaime Lannister, but they were firmly at the bottom of the line.
The terrifying strength of the mountains, the speed of the stormy attacks, and the flawless sword skills all made the three knights who fought against him a nightmare and tired of defending.
It would be a big mistake to doubt the strength of these three people, an Adventist wanted to pick up the bargain and launched a sneak attack from behind the hound, but he turned back and slashed and killed him with lightning, not even a sword.
The area around the four of them has almost become a forbidden area of death, and such a fierce fight does not allow the slightest hand, and any soldier or knight who is unfortunate enough to be involved in it will die on the spot.
The resonance of swords and swords shines with brilliant light, and the dancing of swords, guns, swords, and halberds shows the art of beauty.
However, manpower will eventually be exhausted, even if the three Hundred Flower Knights cooperate tacitly, but there are always times when there are mistakes, with the violent consumption of physical strength, there is an undeserved flaw in the alternating defense of the monarch killer and the hound.
"Chance!" Zolon's eyes flashed, and the ice and lightning slashed, and the power of the "bell bell ......" was so great that he forcibly slashed the hound from his horse to the ground, and although the hound stood up in time, his tiger mouth burst into two long openings, and blood soaked his gloves.
With a strong will, ......the hound gritted his teeth to resist the last sword, but his feet could no longer support this violent force, and he fell to the ground with a "boom".
Loras frantically rushed to the rescue, but it was too late.
"It's over!" The sword slashed down like lightning, and an ugly head flew high, with a shocked, glorious, and unrepentant expression on the skull.
Sandor "The Hound" Cregan, killed in battle!
Loras was shocked, but at this time he could only bite the bullet, only to fight for three rounds, and the long sword in his hand was picked up by Sauron.
Instead of killing him, Sauron slammed the spine of his sword into his chest, sweeping him off his horse, convulsing all over, never to get back up.
"Knight of the Hundred Flowers" Loras Tyrell, captured!
Seeing all this, the only Lannister "monarch killer" saw all this, suddenly gritted his teeth and fled quickly on his war horse, and the direction he went was King's Landing.
The Adventist camp immediately divided more than a dozen people to pursue in his direction, after all, this is the famous "Monarch Slayer" in Ice and Fire, and his head must be very valuable!
With the defeat of the boss, the two thousand heavily armored knights were leaderless, and could no longer organize a threatening attack, and were led by Sauron to be eaten and divided little by little, and then strangled. In the end, most of the group chose to surrender, and as nobles, they were willing to pay a huge ransom in exchange for their lives.
At this point, the royalist army could no longer raise the slightest will to fight, and they were unable to form an army and fled in all directions.
On a hill in the distance, Tywin watched it all from afar, his face blank, and he said for a long time, "Let's go back to Castle Rock!" ”
Not far away, a group of northern knights rushed towards them......
The final result of the "Battle of Heishui River" was a great victory for the Northern Coalition Army, defeating the opponent's 70,000 men with 20,000 men.
The Royalists were almost depleted, but the Northern Coalition was unable to organize an effective pursuit force due to their own heavy losses, allowing the Royalist commander, Tywin Lannister, to flee back to Castle Rock.
After a little repair, the Coalition soldiers rushed to King's Landing, not far from here.
At this time, the gates of King's Landing were closed, and there were only a few hundred soldiers loyal to the king. Because of the defeat of the royalists, the people in the city were panicked and unstable, which led several powerful families in the city to also have strange hearts and thoughts.
King's Landing, Red Keep, Throne Room.
With a crisp thud, a fine glass vase from a free-trade city-state was smashed to pieces, and Joffrey Baratheon paced back and forth angrily in front of a group of richly dressed magnates in King's Landing.
"Rubbish! It's all a bunch of rubbish! A full 100,000 people, a full 100,000 elite army, actually lost to a mere 20,000. Rebellion in the North! Mere Rebellion...... They, they actually said they were going to hang me! Joffrey's eyes were red, and his neck was swollen with excitement and fear.
Everyone in the audience looked at each other, but no one dared to speak, for fear of being angered by the cruel king.
"This is just the arrogant words of a traitor, and Your Majesty should not pay attention to it." The eunuch eight-clawed spider admonished in his sweet voice, "What's more, King's Landing is defended by tall walls, and they won't be able to attack it for a while. When the Prime Minister re-recruits troops in Kaiyan City, you will have another army of your own. ”
"Yes, I still have the walls of King's Landing......" Joffrey seemed relieved, he sat back down on the Iron Throne, glanced down, and suddenly frowned and asked, "What about my Chancellor of the Exchequer?" I want to know how many golden dragons I have left in my treasury, and let me reward the soldiers who fought valiantly for their king. ”
Joffrey wasn't too stupid, knowing that his only reliance at this time was the hundreds of Baratheon soldiers in the city who were loyal to the king.
The octopus spider seemed to sneer secretly, and he said, "Back to Your Majesty, Lord Baesh has gone to the Eagle's Nest with his new wife Lysa this morning, and is not in King's Landing now. ”
"This coward, I'll let him know the price of betrayal." Joffrey gritted his teeth and spat out a few words, his handsome face distorted almost hideous, "Take me to the treasury......"
However, when Joffrey opened the king's vault, he saw an empty treasury, not a single golden dragon in the room, and the only remaining bronze star lying quietly on the empty floor, as if laughing at the pale Joffrey.
"Where's my golden dragon? Who stole my golden dragon! Joffrey yelled.
The octopus-clawed spider gently twisted the last bronze star and put it in its arms, "Oh! I have heard that Lord Baesi took eight carriages with him when he left the city this morning, and His Majesty's golden dragon must have been inside. ”
"This ...... This rebellion. Joffrey's head was bloodshot and he almost fainted, he held his forehead with one hand and the wall with the other, gasped and said, "Send someone to chase me, you must kill him!" No, bring him back, and I will burn him in front of all to warn all who dare to disobey me. ”
"Yes, my majesty." The eight-clawed spider bowed down to receive the order.
However, instead of contacting any of the pursuing soldiers, he came to a hidden passage under the Red Keep and swayed to a wide hall underground.
In the hall of "Lord ......", there were more than two dozen black-clothed men holding torches and bowing to the eunuchs, and behind them, there were four open boxes.
The box was full of neatly stacked golden dragons, and the glittering gold gave off a bright yellow luster in the firelight.
"Oh! It's really a cute and touching little thing, how many people are torn by it. The eunuch gently stroked the golden dragons, as if he was saying to his own **.
"What a bargain, one and a half, and the spider and Littlefinger divided the king's treasury." The spider delicately closed the lid and instructed his men in black to lift the box and head deeper into the secret passage.
Shortly after the octopus left, King's Landing was broken.
King's Landing was not breached from the outside, but rebelled from the inside and opened its gates. In the early days of the siege, the Advent spies who had been lurking in the city for a long time spread rumors that the Lannister army had been wiped out and that the puppet king Joffrey had fled, which caused the already unstable military spirit in the city to be shaken even more.
King's Landing, change hands!
