Chapter Eighty-Seven: Occupation
Nearly 300 second-class cavalrymen of the Gripen cavalry regiment led by Duncan were majestic, galloping on the wide stone arch bridge.
With a thunderous momentum, the autumn wind swept away all obstacles in front of it like falling leaves.
The heavy armored shield soldiers of the Frey family at the front of them, after two rounds of melee fighting, were in a loose formation of retreat,
In the face of the full-speed impact of a fully equipped knight from the back, many heavy armored soldiers who were dragged to the end chose to avoid the knights' charge in panic.
The knights who charged side by side did not give them any chance to get lucky, and the shield soldiers on both sides were directly knocked off the stone arch bridge by their war horses, and fell into the turbid green fork river below with a miserable howl.
In the middle, the heavily armored shield soldiers who maintained the basic formation also couldn't withstand the sudden frontal impact.
The cavalry trampled over them wantonly.
Although the cavalry spears could not break through their thick steel shields, the force of the impact alone was enough to knock the men into the air.
After the first round of cavalry combing.
The heavily armored shield soldiers of the Frey family, the formation was dashed to pieces, and there was no time to sort out the badly damaged armor, and the infantry of the Xiao Cavalry Regiment and the Tiger Ben Regiment swarmed up and hacked them to death with their swords.
Meanwhile.
Shifu arrived with a second column of knights, and they went straight around the battle site from both sides of the stone bridge.
Without shield soldiers to defend them, it was as if they had entered a no-man's land, chasing down those terrified Twin River City crossbowmen.
When blood dyes the entire bridge, from east to west, into a red bond.
The battle took less than half an hour to seize control of the entire stone arch bridge, and the battle was declared over.
Lynn's cavalry was victorious.
The large infantry force cooperated with the cavalry charge, harvesting the heads of the soldiers of the Twin Rivers who were scattered and wailing everywhere.
It's as easy as harvesting wheat.
The Hay family, a vassal of Frey, with 1,200 follow-up troops, had just rushed to the stone castle at the west bridge head to support.
Holland Leed's Zeren fleet also arrived at the mouth of the Twin Rivers.
The defenses along the Green Fork River were relatively weak, and the Ze soldiers quickly captured the Hemen Wharf and began to land from the Hemen by virtue of their superiority in numbers and bows and arrows.
Sir Lesling Hay came to the stone castle on the west bank, and his eyes were almost stunned.
As a person, he was sent to attack the main force of Dongcheng, and his face was full of discouragement.
This is a fart siege war, which has been besieged by others.
Knowing that the general situation had gone to Sir Lesling Hay, he took his two sons and some of his personal guards with him, and without hesitation turned his head and fled towards the western city.
The boss was gone, and the remaining Frey soldiers were like headless flies.
Some continued to follow Sir Hay to the west gate, and some of them scattered as birds and beasts.
The last few of them crashed into the arms of Lynn's army, or the soldiers of the Wharf of Hemen, and became one of the many harvested wheat.
The bridgehead stone castle was in chaos, and the battles took place sporadically and rarely.
On the contrary, the battle in the direction of the West Gate was strangely in full swing.
In fact, the Iron People's army led by Victor Greyjoy had not yet officially attacked the west gate of Twin Cities, and his army was only assembled outside the city, and the soldiers of Twin Cities took the initiative to open the west gate and kill the Iron Isles soldiers who were blocking the gates.
Bolton, the old skinner of the West City, and the father and son of the Hay family, who were responsible for the attack on the East City, became the first group of people to choose to break through to the west.
After learning that Lynn had united, the Iron Islands, and the Neck Gray Water Hope forces had jointly attacked Twin River City, and the Stone Arch Bridge had completely fallen.
They chose without hesitation and broke through to the open area outside the west gate.
These people don't have too many interests in Twin River City, and they have an independent territory, and they are not willing to accompany the Frey family to fight as trapped beasts.
The highest-ranking officer appointed by Old Frey in the council hall ran three at once, and the rest were not fools.
In addition to the most loyal vassals of the Frey family, there were several resistances to collect the demoralized army in the city.
Others are also on the move.
For a time, the ferry port south of West Twin River City became the most crowded area.
The nobles of Twin Rivers City have prepared to flee with their families, this dying city.
Victor Greyjoy was standing outside the west of the Twin Cities at this time, with a blank expression.
The soldiers of Twin Rivers came out of the open west gate, desperately attacking the defense line of his Iron People.
The Iron People's Army, which was originally preparing to attack, became the defending side.
There weren't many soldiers out of the city in Twin Rivers City, but every time one round was defeated, a second round would come out, wave after wave like undulating waves.
However, Victor Greyjoy soon found out.
In fact, these soldiers of Twin River City did not really want to attack his army, but planned to escape and break through.
It's just that his own army happened to be out of the moat and blocked the way of these people.
The Iron People's army was very depressed.
If you enter the city at this time and advance the position under the city gate, you will completely block the way out of the soldiers of the dead twin river city, and when the enemy is in a hurry, I am afraid that you will really.
Judging from the current situation, I am afraid that the real main force of Twin River City still retains a considerable amount of vitality.
A small commander of the Iron People's army, looking at Victarion Greyjoy with a strange face.
"My lord, if we continue to intercept like this endlessly, our people will soon be exhausted. ”
Victor's face was gloomy.
He wanted to know what the hell was going on, why didn't these people from Twin Cities pull their main forces to East City to fight Lynn's men for East City.
Instead, he directly chose to break through from Xicheng.
Is it Lynn's centaurs that have such a strong deterrent, or are we the Iron Islanders soft persimmons?
Now was the time to plunder the Frey family's mansion, but Viktarion could only pinch his nose and order his soldiers to stand by.
He even deliberately asked the army to get out of the way on one side, so that the people of Twin River City who broke through the siege quickly slipped away, so as not to hinder themselves from entering the city to make a fortune.
Old Peellus Bolton, with a gloomy face, swept past the eyes of the Iron Islanders' army, guarded by his squires.
He was not happy to escape.
Designed to kill Robb and a group of noble vassals loyal to the Stark family in the North, they thought they could harvest the North, but now not only the Iron Islanders have meddled in the affairs of the North, but even an unknown minor nobleman at the southern end of the North has suddenly emerged.
The plan for Castle Derror's betrayal of Winterfell and its alliance with the Lannisters to dominate the North was much more difficult than he had anticipated.
However, the Frey family in Twin River City was already in a mortal situation, and it was fortunate that he was able to break through the siege.
Now it is imperative to leave this land of right and wrong as soon as possible, return to the territory of the Fortress of Terror, take the empty Winterfell first, and eat away at the territory of the dead noble families in the north as the top priority.
Luce Bolton went out of the city gates and didn't think about all this troublesome.
He buried his head in the north and broke through at full speed, trying to avoid the eyes of the Iron Islanders, if the iron people who had strategic competition with him in the north found out about his identity, I am afraid it would be difficult to return to the north safely.
At this time, Lynn's army had just taken the bridgehead stone castle on the west bank.
His army officially entered the West Twin River City, and the entire territory of the Twin River City fell, which was already a sure thing.
