The Riverlands are almost all plains, and the only way to fight is to rely on the castle to stop the enemy, but Jones has just discovered one of the advantages, which is that no one can stop them if they escape.

The only thing that had any hope of holding them back was the cavalry team behind, but the commander of these people had been killed by Jones, and the team was scattered, and they couldn't muster the courage to pursue for a while, so they could only helplessly watch the cavalry in the north rush away like a black torrent in the distance.

After a while, Jaime the Kingkiller arrived with a black and overwhelming shield soldiers, spearmen, and archers, and when he saw the chaotic scene in front of him, the smile on his face gradually faded, and he frowned and said to the knight who came to report, "Is this still our lion in the west?

The knight bowed his head and said ashamedly, "The enemy rushed down from the mountain, and we did not stop us, and Master Stafford Lannister was killed, and William Lannister was captured by them. ”

After hearing this, Jaime's brows furrowed even deeper, Steffer Lannister was just a sideline, and he had always felt that Steffer was very mediocre, and it was nothing to die, but William was his cousin, a real direct blood relative, and he was captured at the moment, and it seemed that he could only exchange it for a big price later.

"My lord, shall we chase?" asked Count Lodge in a low voice.

Jaime shook his head and said, "If it's a cavalry team led by Amud himself, there's still value in chasing." As for an unknown person, there is naturally no reason to let tens of thousands of troops pursue him. ”

Tonight's round-up was only when Jaime got the position of the cavalry and found that it happened to be on the way.

Two infantry teams of 6,000 men each were only a means on the surface, and the cavalry teams of about 1,000 men sent on each side of the hill were the real ambush.

It was surprising that Steffer Lannister was so wasteful that he was defeated by the cavalry of the North in such a short time.

"This is just a small episode, we are less than a day's journey away from Riverrun, and that is the real battlefield. Jaime added.

"Yes, my lord!" replied the counts respectfully, not daring to question anything.

The Lannisters have absolute dominance over the West.

It turned out that there was a Castelme lord who thought that with the rich gold mines in his territory, he could fight with the Lannisters, but the entire family was slaughtered by Duke Tywin.

It is said that from now on, if the Duke of Tywin wanted to knock on which earl, all he had to do was send a singer to play a song called 'Rainy Season of Stramey', and the counts would immediately go to Castle Rock with trepidation to show their loyalty.

Jaime Lannister disdained to guess what was going on in the counts' hearts, and at the moment he just wanted to end the war as quickly as possible and return to his sister Cersei, who was also his beloved.

......

"Chief, the number is counted, we have lost almost a hundred people, most of them recruits. Carter said in a low voice.

"There's no way around it, this time it's dangerous enough, if you're surrounded by a large army, it's hard to escape. Jones said helplessly.

"So what do we do next?"

This has become the most common thing to say by several of Jones's subordinates, and there is no way, who made Jones already the smartest among them.

Several subordinates also quietly discussed in private, why the leader, a member of the Amber family, had such a delicate brain, and the result could only be attributed to the fact that the leader had been in the school city.

"Let's hang the Lannisters from afar, and if they come after us, we'll run. If there were only cavalry, we would fight them from a distance, and if they ignored us, we would interfere with their logistics and burn food when we could. ”

"High, chief, you're so powerful. The bald Percy patted his head vigorously and praised him sincerely, "Who did you learn this from?"

Jones showed a strange smile and said, "Don't care who you learn from, this is called the enemy advancing and retreating, the enemy stationed in me and disturbing, the enemy is tired and I fight, and the enemy retreats and I chase, understand?"

After hearing this, everyone was like an epiphany, and their faces showed a look of sudden realization.

......

At the same time, Duke Tywin, though he had lost more than a thousand cavalry, was still advancing on the eastern side of the Riverlands.

The Countess of Ha'an, feeling powerless to resist, had already sacrificed the famous Harrenhal.

Harrenhal is the largest castle of the Seven Kingdoms, with five massive towers and incredibly thick walls, more than enough for even giants to inhabit.

The five shortest towers, even minus half, are taller than the tallest buildings in Winterfell.

Harrenhal was built by Herron the Blackheart, the king of the Iron Islands and the Riverlands, who spent forty years, killing countless captives, and cutting down countless fish beams.

When it was finished, King Heron boasted that his Harrenhal was impregnable, as it should have been, but he encountered Aegon the Conqueror and his dragon.

Dragons are not held back by walls and towers, and eventually Heron is burned alive by Dragonfire in the tallest tower, and Harrenhal becomes the blackened, twisted, and gloomy place it is today.

In the past, each generation of kings would even limit the range of activities of the Harrenhal owning families due to their taboo of Harrenhal's power, such as the Countess of Ha'an who only used the lowest floors of the tower.

However, Duke Tywin now has other plans, he wants to completely restore the glory of Harrenhal and make it another Lannister castle, as for the money needed to restore the castle, he is the least lacking, and he has sent people around to take prisoners.

......

King's Landing.

Arya Stark secretly bought a loaf of bread with the money Jones had left her, and quickly hid in the darkness again.

During this time, there were more golden robes patrolling than there were fleas on her.

In order to avoid capture, she tried to stay away from the royal family's main fort, so she slept in a flea nest, regardless of the roof or stable, as long as she could lie down.

It didn't take long for her to go from a noble Stark lady to a flea-ridden little dirty child.

Whenever she was huddled alone in the dark, she regretted a little, and if she had escaped with Jones at that time, maybe she wouldn't have suffered such a sin.

I don't know how my father is doing, I don't know how my annoying sister is doing in the royal family's Red Keep, although she used to hate her sister Sansa very much, but if Sansa appears in front of her at this moment, she will not hesitate to pounce on her and hug Sansa.

And Eddard Stark, who was once extremely noble, was now locked in a black prison without a trace of light, where there was no sunrise, no sunset, no windows, no everything, only the straw full of urine and ambiguity under him, but these external environments were far less terrible than what he thought of in his heart.

He thought of Cersei Lannis and said sarcastically, "In Game of Thrones, if you don't win, you're dead."

He thought of his men who had died tragically, of his two daughters who were still in the hands of the enemy, of his wife, of his eldest son, Robb, and of his two young sons.

He thought of his dead friend Robert, who until his death did not know that his two sons and daughters were born to Cersei and her brother Jaime Luan, and that Joffrey, the Luan man who possessed the Baratheon surname, was sitting on the Iron Throne at the moment.

"You are a complete idiot, can you eat honor? it is you who have hurt your own daughter and subordinates, it is you who are sorry for the trust of your friend Robert. ”

In the endless darkness, he kept blaming himself.
