Chapter 0383: The Savage Army: Your Majesty's Crusade against Tyrell
Jon and Yagot stayed together that night.
Jon knew that Yagot wasn't a virgin, but he didn't feel sick. He realized the other side of life, and under the guidance of Yegot, he finally let go of himself.
Two hearts beating together, even the gods will not separate us. - This was what Yagot said, and Jon remembered it.
Jon's team has yet to meet Mance Red, who himself has united with the famous Firekiss among the Free People. For the first time, she agreed to move her tent to another place, separated from the hound, Big Gilly and the others.
From then on, in the last few days of going to Mance Red's camp, Jon and Ygother became a couple in love, and it was their turn to change shifts at night, and they were also together, and Ygother refused to separate. Jon was still concerned about the human eye, but Yegother didn't care. The Hound and others made fun of the two, Jon was embarrassed, but Yegother took it as a compliment, she was in high spirits, before meeting Mance Red, she had blurred her identity, and got along well with the Hound Big Gilly and others, and the previous estrangement and hostility with the southerners all disappeared.
It's like she's a different person.
On the last day, as they stood on the top of the mountain, they saw a long procession beneath the valley of Snow Creek, with oxen carts and dog-drawn carts rushing forward in a hurry, and the carts were piled high with things. In the middle of the procession, there are also herdsmen driving herds of cattle and sheep. About a thousand warriors opened the way in front, and along the way there were warriors shouting at the team to move forward, and drive the cattle and sheep that ran out of the team back.
Standing on the top of the mountain, looking into the distance, you can't see the tail of the team.
This team doesn't know how long it is.
Fortunately, Tylen was fine, and when Hound and Robert saw such a team, they were dumbfounded. Such a team, like refugees who fled in the wilderness, what combat effectiveness is there?
"Didn't see the giant?" said Tyron.
He himself is a human with giant blood, and he is eager to see what giants are like.
"At the back of the line. Jegothine said.
"After the Giants?" Jon asked.
"The giants have body odor, but you can't say it in front of the giants, it's taboo. They wore almost no clothes, were covered in hair, and had beards for both men and women. If you don't understand, you may not recognize the difference between a giantess and a giant, but in appearance, the men and women of the Giants are almost the same. ”
The hound said, "Give me five hundred cavalry, and I will be able to crush such a team." ”
"Agreed. "If I had five hundred cavalry, I would divide them into ten squads, fifty men each, and take turns attacking the weak points of this rank, but the freemen warriors reacted, and we have retreated." When they dispersed, the second group began to attack again, and the cycle continued. ”
"The line is too long, and it is impossible to rely on military escorts. The hound said.
"I just don't know how the Giants fight. Taryn said.
"Mammoths, big sticks, some with stones tied to the ends. Jegothine said.
"I want to try my strength with them. "Taryn Road.
He was conceited and had no opponents, and the Demon Mountain Gregor was not his opponent at all. Giants have always been legendary figures, and this time to see them in person, Tyron would love to take them into battle.
"Strength they won't lose to you. "They are taller than you, and the dwarfest giants are taller than you." ”
Big Gilly said, "Jon, shall we go down now?"
"No, wait for their giants to appear before they go down. Jon said.
They stood on the top of a high mountain, surrounded by tall trees, covered with snow, and their horses spewing white air from their nostrils.
Jon was watching the defense of the teams passing by. His father, Eddard Stark, once said: The first important thing for a man is courage, and the first thing for an army is discipline.
He didn't see any discipline in Mance Red's team.
Men, women, young and old, pigs, dogs, cows and sheep mixed together, and the procession was like a slowly flowing river, and its flow was hardly felt except for the noise. The speed of the team, too slow. With such a slow speed, it is difficult to organize a counterattack in any place that is attacked by cavalry. If the cavalry is combined with fire, the team will be defenseless.
The debris on the bullock cart is the best place to set fires. Any bit of wildfire thrown at them, and their team would crumble in chaos.
When Jon saw such a team, he knew that Will had arranged the team on the south bank of the Ruhe River, dug a trench and laid a stake formation, and indeed it was only to make it difficult for Mance's people. The Ruhe River under the Ancestors' Fist Peak is the only way for this team to pass. - because the team is so large. It is simply impossible to go to the Grand Canyon of the Shadow Tower and the East China Sea to carry out the smuggling of small fishing boats.
A team of pots and pans, pigs, dogs, cows and sheep, and ten times more old and weak women and children than the warriors, this team could not compete with the 10,000-strong army of the Night's Watch. In sheer strength alone, the Night's Watch far outnumbered the Savage Army.
Jon was a little uneasy when he didn't see Mance Red's army, but when he saw it, he was reassured. War or peace, Mance Rader had no choice.
Jon's expression relaxed.
"Let's find a place to rest and go down later to see Mance Red. Jon said.
"Then make a fire and roast the meat and eat it. The hound said.
Robert Royce was also no longer afraid of the wildlings, and the more people in such a team, the more ineffective they were. Give him an army, as long as it is cavalry, fast in and out, and he can beat Mance Rader without fighting back.
*
At the same time, on the south bank of the Ruhe River, under the peak of the ancestors' fist, nearly 2,000 people were digging frozen soil.
A raven hovered over Will, but did not dare to land, and the two griffons on Will's shoulders were similar in size to ravens, but they could not fly yet.
Flightless young griffons threaten ravens, and their dazzling jewel-like eyes are intimidating. The birds in the forest are extinct, and the chirping of the griffins keeps them away from the woods.
No matter how Will and the military master called, the raven hesitated a few times, but finally did not dare to fall.
Will had to put the griffin in its cage and take it away before the raven dared to come down and fall into the hands of the Bachelor.
Letter from the Great Wall!
The letter was sent by Samwell, with his report on the organization of the underground library, and the news that the Oldtown Scholars had sent the Scholars to the Great Wall, but the most important thing was a letter from Stannis I in the Red Keep, saying that His Majesty had recovered the territory and vassals of the Storm's End, and that the whole country was now issuing an order to desperate the Great Wall, the Riverlands, the West, the North, the Iron Islands, and the Eastern Valley, and quickly send their elite troops to King's Landing to join forces and fight against the traitor Lord Tyrell in the Riverlands.
The letter also mentions that His Majesty has sent an emissary to Dorne, and that Prince Dorne has promised to send troops across the border of Dorne to cooperate with the Tyrells of the Tyrells, the lords of the Riverlands, who are flanked on both sides by the army of King's Landing.
Speaking of the Great Wall, the Scholar asked Will to personally lead his army with His Majesty on the expedition to the Riverlands, in order to fulfill the oath that the Night's Watch was the shield of the kingdom.
After reading the letter, Will handed it to Sauron, the chief Ranger beside him.
After reading the letter, Sauron said, "Lord Will, we are facing an attack by a large army of savages, and I am afraid that we will not be able to send troops to King's Landing Red Keep to pay allegiance. ”
"People must go, or Stannis I will overturn the new law of full support for the men and goods of the desperate Wall. ”
