Chapter 240: The Trident River Crossing

Greeting the frightened Hosean family, Sterling the skinny monkey led the sentry rider on.

"Keep on your way, the Dog's Knights in Gear are still able to clear the watchtowers and roadblocks along the way so quickly. ”

Sterling scolded his mother, but he was indescribably angry in his heart, the last trip to Riverland was half a year ago, when he was still chasing Miss Arya Stark with the lord.

Although he also led a lot of people to the south at that time, and finally even wiped out the Frey clan in Twin River City.

But then and now, it's a different story.

If it weren't for the use of the Iron Islanders and the coercion of the Ze Alliance, I am afraid that it would be extremely difficult to take the West City of the Twin River City, which is heavily guarded by the Frey family.

Now that time has passed, the combat power of the Gripen Legion has increased exponentially, and you can see the armored knights who served as pioneers in front of him, and the group of slaughtering sentry posts along the way.

Moreover, the heavy cavalry regiment has also been assembled in Carlin Bay and is converging southward.

Sterling the Skinny Monkey dared to promise that whoever dared to show his head in the wilderness between the rivers would let him know what it meant to be truly devastating.

After the reorganization, the battalions and baggage teams of the Tiger Ben Regiment, carrying a large number of siege equipment, are also advancing in concert along the two fronts of the swamp forest and the King's Road, and the thin monkey has no doubt that this autumn harvest battle arranged by the lord will be successfully won in the past in the riverland kingdom, which is difficult to gnaw in the past.

When the Riverlands fall into the hands of the Lord, and the Northern Lands are connected to the Riverlands, the Gripen Legion will be able to exert its true strength.

The blade of the army will turn from a straight war spear into a trident like a river of tridents, pointing at the king of the western realm and the river bend.

Lock up the valley east of the Riverlands, and then look out to the southern plains to leave the four kingdoms and the land of kings.

What a magnificent and majestic sight it will be.

Sterling swallowed carefully every time he thought about it.

Whipping the war horse's buttocks, the war horse roared, and the thin monkey led the vanguard cavalry out of this messy land.

He had to hurry up to speed up with the Knights in Armor as soon as possible.

Those wild ass criss, in time to personally convey the latest order from Commander-in-Chief Duncan, it is estimated that a hundred of them will dare to cross the river at the shallows at the confluence of the Trident River, and go straight to the garrison on the opposite bank of the Harrenburg River.

The thin monkey is gone, and as for whether the remaining defenders who are responsible for accepting these slain warriors will complete the task according to his instructions, or how well they will be completed, it is not his responsibility.

The Thin Monkey is only responsible for following the Mounted Knights, intimidating the families along the way, inspecting and supervising the restoration of the road, which is the task of Han Niu and the second battalion of the Xiao Cavalry Regiment where he belongs.

After twilight, the Knights of Armor crossed the Twin River Valley and continued south.

They walked a long stretch of flat road until they entered a pothole on the King's Road, and then slowed down in the night.

After dealing with the last patrol village sent by Riverrun, the Knights of Armor came to a complete halt under the heavy black dome.

Raheem Sterling struggled to catch up with the trailblazers at the back, and finally caught up with the trailblazers.

The team set out from Carlin Bay early in the morning, and after a day of walking, and was already sleepy, the captain of the flag of the Knights in Armor decided to rest for the night in a small town called Bayberry Field on the east side of King's Road.

More than 100 people and more than 200 horses turned the people of this small town on their backs and settled down.

When the war began, the soldiers were not reasonable at all, and the villages were full of places that could be stuffed with people, and as for the local villagers, all the villagers were driven to a wheat field warehouse to spend the night, and no one dared to complain loudly.

The people of the river had long learned that if they survived during the war, the soldiers did not plunder their meagre possessions and invade the women of their households, but only a seemingly thin commander who snatched a lamb for dinner, and that was a blessing in the midst of misfortune.

In the post station outside Yangmei Town, which I didn't see, the caretaker sent by the noble lord of Hejian was originally stabbed three times when he came up, and was hung on the mill windmill at the entrance of the town as a road sign?

I heard that it was because in the face of these northern border troops, the food in the cellar was secretly hidden, and the key was that it was searched out.

Noisy to noisy.

When the villagers were worried in the wheat field warehouse, listening to the movement in the town, they stayed up until the second half of the night when it was almost dawn.

It was found that the fierce looking northern cavalry were wearing black armor and stepping on the rumbling hooves of horses leaving the village and town, and it seemed that after continuing south along the King's Road, they still slept peacefully until dawn.

As for the departure of the cavalry, the local townspeople found that there were more than a hundred tired horses in front of their houses, so they cursed in a whisper that the northern army was really unkind, and then consciously led these horses to wash or graze in the wheat fields.

The old mayor of Yangmei Town breathed a long sigh of relief, just helping to raise war horses for a day or two, which was not too bad.

He couldn't help but be a little glad that the people of the north were not as cruel as they were rumored, at least those knights lived in their house, but they didn't touch anything in the house, and a leg of lamb that was hung on the beam of the house a few days ago was still hanging there.

The situation is similar for other households.

Now, it seems, this is the most disciplined army he's ever seen in his entire life in Riverland.

In the past, when the war began, the army passing by here was not much better than the bandits, everyone was used to it, and they were used to it, but this time they thought they were going to suffer, but they didn't expect others to be kind and unexpected.

The Knights, re-armoured, had finally cleared all the posts along the road from Carlin Bay to King's Road, the ferry port on the lower Trident River, by the dawn of the morning sun.

Successfully reaching the confluence of the Trident River, the Mounted Knights first uprooted several Lannister tower outposts on the east bank, and after sweeping away the nearby outpost camps, they began to set up outpost camps on the east side of the confluence area.

After completing the initial combat mission, the Mounted Knights were stationed in place and waited quietly, and the follow-up main army arrived one after another.

And in the town of Earl Harroway opposite their ferry, the commander of the garrison of the Lannister River, with more than 3,000 people, also discovered the traces of the cavalry activities of the Gripen Legion on the other side of the river for the first time.

The commander of the river garrison, who had just received that the army from the north was assembling in Carlin Bay to start a war in the south, was surprised at how quickly the northerners were moving so quickly, and hurriedly ordered the boats to be evacuated from the ferry and closely monitor every move on the other side of the river.

At the same time, the defenders of his subordinates were ordered to strengthen their guard at the ferry, and sent messengers to quickly report to the nearby two large cities of Riverrun and Harrenhal for help.

The fastest Sentinel riders in the army also went out one after another, and quickly reported the situation of the crossing to Tomman Baratheon, King of King's Landing, and Tywin Lannister, Duke of Castle Rock.
