Simon Templeton is the Jazz of Nine Star City, a well-trimmed black beard that looks like a sharp knife, matching his knife-like nose, and a pair of ice blue eyes that are blue and watery to stare at you.

He was the vanguard of the valley appointed by Eddard Stark, and all but his own army of 1,000 men were old, weak, sick and disabled, but there were quite a few of them, and under Eddard Stark's patchwork, many civilians and farmers were pulled out as soldiers to make up the number, and the whole number of 10,000 men was collected for him.

And of these 10,000 people, what can really fight is his own army of 1,000 people.

This made Simon Templeton very depressed, and the joy of winning the vanguard was only a moment, but the anguish of leading the army to the battle followed him closely.

He led his own men and horses as the front army, Eddard Stark took the northern guards and weak soldiers as the middle army, and completely requisitioned the soldiers who made up the number as the rear army.

The banners of the 10,000-strong army fluttered, starting with Eddard Stark's royal banner: Stannis I's Crown Stag Banner, without a flaming heart.

Eddard Stark's refusal to use the Flaming Heart around the Crown Buck's new banner is non-negotiable. His banner was warmly cheered by the lords of the valley and the knights.

In everyone's hearts, it is still the Crown Stag that is their royal flag, and the Crown Stag Banner in the flaming red heart of Stannis I is not welcomed by the Vale and the Northlanders.

The Northern Army, led by Robb Stark, traveled from the north through Carlin Bay and crossed the Neck River to Luanhe City in the Riverlands. The royal flag seen by the Frey family at the ferry port of Luanhe City is also a treasure crown buck, without a flaming red heart.

And the banner of Joffrey Baratheon I, raised in the Lannister army, naturally did not have a flaming heart, only the crown buck.

In the south, the royal banner raised by His Majesty Lanli Baratheon is only the Crown Stag, and the 100,000 allied forces of Storm's Rest and High Court are slowly advancing towards King's Landing.

Only King's Landing's Banner is a small Crown Stag Banner in the middle of a flaming heart.

I wonder how Stannis I felt when he learned that neither the East nor the North used his new king's banner.

Simon Tampton's Vanguard Flag Bearer holds three flags: one is Simon's Nine-Star City Flag: a golden diagonal cross with nine stars on it, a seven-pointed star in the middle of the cross, and the remaining eight six-pointed stars evenly distributed on the diagonal cross.

Then there's the Crescent Falcon Banner of House Arryn in the Valley, and the Icewolf Banner that guards House Eddard Stark in the East.

The 10,000 men crossed the Blood Gate and went straight out of the valley, the mountain road was rugged, and the army moved slowly.

Eddard Stark clearly ordered that Simon Tampaton's forward army could only lure the enemy, not fight against it, which made Simon Tampton regret it very much, but he had no choice but to do it.

The Lannister army is heavily defended in the Trident River Valley, and the 30,000 army shines as much as day over the Trident River Valley every night, and the vanguard army with only 1,000 elite troops will naturally not be the opponent of the Lannister 30,000 army.

And the real main force of the valley, gathering the 4,000 elites of the Royce family, the 3,000 elite soldiers of the Weywood family, the 2,000 elite soldiers of the Raymond family, the Hunter family, the Toller family, the Arryn family, the Kobrie family, and so on, the real 14,000 elites of the valley, from the Blood Gate to the east, took the collected merchant ships and warships in Seagull Town, including the royal battleship Warhammer, dozens of large and small ships, detoured to Crab Bay, landed in Nuquan City, and went straight to King's Road, covering from behind the Eye Lake in Harrenhal, and directly into Harrenhal, which had been taken by the Lannisters。

Harrenhal is the current home base of the Lannisters. Tywin Lannister and his senior officers, five thousand heavily armored cavalry, were in Harrenhal.

This information was provided by Scout Captain Blackfish and Will, the man in black who assisted Blackfish.

The only mountain road out of the valley has been blocked by the Lannisters, and the road has been cut off. But at the military meeting of departure, Will proposed that the troops be divided into two routes, one way out of the mountain road at Taniguchi, and one way from the port of Seagull Town, and take Crab Bay.

The estuary of the Trident River is Crab Bay.

Through Crab Bay, fishing boats and merchant ships can carry elite soldiers straight into the Trident River, freely enter any part of the riverland, and even go straight to Rushing City on the banks of the Red Fork River.

By water, the Lannister army was defenseless. They also have no navy to intercept on the surface, and their navy is in the western border of Lannisport and the Trident River.

The army that went out of Taniguchi was nothing more than a feint. Tywin Lannister thought that the Vale Army would only come out of the mountain roads. In addition to the three military flags of the 1,000 elites of the striker Simon Tampaton, the troops behind all raised the military flags of the major families and wore the distinctive costumes of the major families, which would give the Lannister scouts a false impression that all the Vale armies were starting from the Bloodgate Valley.

10,000 troops, unfolding in the valley and mountain roads, are mighty, and they cannot see the head and tail, which is extremely confusing.

At the same time, the Northern Army stopped at Luanhe City.

Robb Stark took the Amber family of Fireheart: Jon Jon Jr. and Jon the Great, Theon Greyjoy, the adopted brother of the Stark family, the Lustbolton family, the Mormont family, the Carstark family of Cahoe City, the Mandalay family of White Harbor, the Glover family of Deepenburg, the Thorn family, the Severn family, the Flint family of Widow Wang, and all the vassal knights of the north, with an army of 20,000 men, waiting for the Freys to open the gate and let them cross the Green Fork River and go straight to Riverrun.

For this large army, Robb Stark only sent Theon Greyjoy to lead the scout team to reconnoiter the distance between the Lannister army and Luan River City along the banks of the Green Fork River, and the 20,000 troops did not divide into two routes, nor did they flank the Lannister's 30,000 troops on the east bank of the Green Fork River with the army in the valley.

This army will not stop in Riverrun, but will go straight to the west, take a small path, and capture the first pass in the west: Golden Tooth City.

This military plan was also proposed by Will, and Eddard Stark's military mind and Will's military proposal fit very well, and after hearing it, he immediately agreed. Through Raven, he and Robb Stark have achieved military conformity.

The army of the western frontier came out to attack the riverlands, and every battle was won, and the soldiers of the western frontier robbed and became rich, and the western frontier itself must be empty.

This is a very old-fashioned Wei Wei to save Zhao, but when Will said it, Eddard Stark's eyes lit up.

This time, the military strategy was almost all proposed by Will, and Eddard Stark, with his military talent and combat experience, decided without much hesitation.

Although the grand strategic goal is clear, the gate of Luanhe City has not been opened for Robb. Although Wade Frey is dead, the Wade family has made a fortune here by collecting river money for 600 years, and no matter who becomes the patriarch, they have to collect river crossing fees, which is the foundation of the Frey family.

Simon Templeton was a fierce general, and his knights and soldiers, like him, wanted nothing more than to fight the Lannisters. Eddard Stark's military order was clear: if he could win, he would fight, if he could not win, he would confront, and if the Lannister army took the initiative to attack, he would retreat. As soon as they retreated into the valley, the Lannisters would not dare to attack, no matter how many horses they had.

They couldn't break through the bloody gates. Unless there are dragons, or griffins. If the Lannisters don't attack, then stop and continue the confrontation, and if the other party relaxes, they attack.

Simon Templeton marched with his men and horses, but in a day and a half, he and his three hundred cavalry were the first to reach the camp of Blackfish and Will.

"If I don't build a tent, I'm going to fight a battle. Simon said unceremoniously to Will and Blackfish.

"You have to win to fight, Lord Ed has an order. Will said. It was a real war, and Will himself had no experience of any real war. This is not a matter of reaching into the vicinity of an enemy barracks to capture a soldier prisoner. The great battles he experienced outside the Great Wall were several battles of more than a hundred people. Before Castle Black, there were less than three hundred rangers.

Simon's 300 cavalry, plus Blackfish's 50 light scouts, and a few of his own men, were too different in strength compared to the 30,000 Lannisters army outside. Will hesitated—

"Victory!" said Simon, holding his spear aloft.

The three hundred elite soldiers who followed him first all raised their spears and shouted to the sky: "Victory! Victory! Victory! It was as if there were 30,000 horses—

"Alright, fight!" said Blackfish.

Wilburn was very calm and rational, but suddenly his whole body was hot, and he just wanted to raise his sword with them and shout victory! He looked at Big Gillian Guy Porlon, except for Bolon who was smiling as usual, Big Gillian Guy was all excited, and his eyes were shining.

Only, how do you cross the big trench?

Immediately, Will and Gorilla Fangs Gilly were surprised to see that Simon and the others all dismounted, and each of them pulled out more than two cloth bags from their bodies, and then dismounted to fill them with dirt and stones.
