The commanders of the various legions had their own opinions on the battlefield, which Lynn was happy to see, and since Duncan, as the commander-in-chief of the southern ferry in the Riverlands, felt that tonight was a good time for the army to attack, then Lynn should support it.

The battlefield has never been easy.

The southernmost crossing of the river was the first main force of the Gripen Legion, which was commanded by Duncan himself, including the Mounted Knights, the 2nd and 2nd Battalions of the Heavy Cavalry, the 3rd and 4th Battalions of the Tiger Regiment, and the Cavalry Regiment, totaling nearly 9,500 soldiers.

The second main army, led by the commander of the Tiger Regiment, Rodat, assembled outside the east gate of the Twin River City, and the large siege baggage and the main infantry force were also placed in the second main force, which was to prepare for the subsequent battle of the Twin River City.

The size of the two main armies, a total of 17,000 people, these people are the nine-city combat strength of the Southern Expedition Group Army, and there is an independent regiment of 1,000 people, mainly cavalry, which has just just passed through the passage of the Neck Forest and quietly moved south in the dense forest.

After listening to the combat deployment of the Gripen Legion in the recent period, Lynn returned to a rest camp, and after a brief freshening up, put on armor and raincoats, and walked out of the camp again.

Han Niu, who had not been seen for a long time, was still dutifully guarding in front of Lynn's tent, and when he saw a neatly dressed figure coming out, Han Niu, who was wearing thick and heavy armor, quietly turned his gaze to Lynn without squinting.

Meanwhile.

The night has completely covered the earth.

The camp was built on the wooden brazier under the tarpaulin, the fire was blazing, the wind blew a flame, the swaying fire reflected, and in the center of the originally empty camp square, the towering road was a straight figure.

When Lynn's figure appeared under the high platform of the camp and was slowly ascending the high platform, there was a slight commotion in the silent crowd of soldiers in the rain.

"Quiet!" the sheriff officers of each battalion ran in the middle of the soldiers, signaling the soldiers in their battalion to calm down.

Lynn walked up to the platform, looked left and right, nodded in satisfaction, and then nodded to Commander Duncan.

Duncan put on his handsome armor and came to Lynn, knelt down on his knees, wrapped one arm around his chest, thumped him twice, and then quickly got up again

。

Then, he turned around and waved slightly to the battalion commanders under the high platform.

The soldiers who were silent in the rain turned into deep black dragons, and under the dim and flickering campfire, they pulled out of the camp.

When the troops of the camp pulled out of the camp, a small group of cavalrymen with flags also quickly rushed towards the sentry post at the ferry crossing within the observation range of the riverbank, and rushed away in the rain.

The cavalry led the horses, the baggage infantry pushed the ballistas, the crossbowmen, the crossbowmen, the spears, the swords, and the shields marched in three columns.

The army extinguished its torches and marched silently in the pouring rain.

Soon, the troops arrived near the crossing of the Trident River, where there were several wooden watchtowers set up by the Gripen Legion, and there were also Lannister watchtowers of the river garrison on the opposite side of the crossing, but due to heavy rain, the shallows of the ferry, the reeds that had been set up in the past had all been withdrawn.

The first main force of the Gripen Legion arrived near the mouth of the river and did not wade across the river at the first time.

The army first made a simple formation, and the formation of the march and the battle needed to make a small change.

Accompanied by the thin monkey and the others, Lynn climbed the watchtower and inspected the outpost tower.

On the east bank of the King's Road crossing, in the direction of the actual control of the Gripen Legion, two three-story wooden towers were set up, with 100 archers and 50 emergency defenders on each side, who were responsible for watching the towers and the fortifications below them.

Lynn was standing in front of the window of the watchtower, gazing across the river at the town of Earl Harroway.

A riverside town with an excellent location, it has been completely transformed into a military defensive position.

There are many arrow towers, and I heard that there is even a sturdy defensive wooden wall with a horizontal span of 100 meters.

Lynn remained on the tower, as the commander-in-chief of the army, the Supreme Lord of the North, there was no need for him to put himself in danger, and the front line command had been handed over to Duncan to carry out.

At this moment, the troops under the tower were rapidly mobilizing, and the crossbowmen all entered the preset positions, and groups of longbows and crossbows, shields in hand, and assembled crossbow artillery on their shoulders began to descend from the shallows into the murky waters of the Green Fork River.

The soldiers were soon flooded by the muddy river, and the heavy rain made the river turbulent, but with the diversion of the central beach, the river was not turbulent despite the turbulence, and the soldiers in armor could still easily move forward when they entered the water.

The vanguard reached the small island in the middle of the confluence, surrounded by a dense layer of reeds, through which a large expanse of sand was in between.

The islets are naturally formed because of the sorting, transporting and accumulation of the river.

In general, where rivers interact, the terrain is relatively low, the flow rate of the river is slow, its transport effect is relatively weakened, and the accumulation effect is relatively enhanced. Therefore, a large amount of sediment in the river will be deposited at the confluence of the river or at the mouth of the river.

When the flood season recedes, a large amount of sediment is exposed, forming a sandy beach.

When it is not the rainy season, some caravans and pedestrians in the north or between the rivers will even choose to cross the river here into the south in order to save the toll of the Twin Rivers City.

Lynn stood quietly on the tower, watching the soldiers wade across the river, arriving at the island in the river and setting up a ballista.

Glaring over the temporarily resting Gripen army, he continued onward, coldly watching the faint bonfire that appeared on the opposite side of the riverbank.

The light of the campfires or torches was not noticeable, the rain interfered with the view, and the scout torches on the watchtower on the opposite bank were like a small firefly in the night sky.

Twenty ballistas and ten small trebuchets were erected, and Duncan shouted in the center: "Get ready for battle!

"The first echelon, the second echelon of sword and shield soldiers, if they are not discovered by the enemy after the crossing, will take the lead in launching a surprise attack on the enemy's two towers. ”

"If it is discovered, the first and second echelons of the crossbowman team will rush to the aid respectively, and the task is still to take down the enemy's outpost tower as soon as possible, so as to gain space for the follow-up troops to cross safely. ”

"The ballista array and trebuchet array on the island, when the battle begins, give me all the firepower to cover the opponent's walls. Covering the approach of the siege team, do you understand the captains of the squads?"

"Understood. ”

Duncan's voice was loud and full of energy, but Lynn, who was standing on the tower on the east bank, could hear nothing, and the reeds obscured most of the army that was preparing to launch a sneak attack.
