Chapter 263 The Fog of Battlefield

As soon as I arrived at the Hejian Island, before I could reach the front line of the battlefield, I could hear the fierce fighting sounds, the neighing of war horses, and the screams of people echoed in the battlefield ahead. The fire was raging. I wonder if it was lit with tinder oil, but even on a rainy night, the firelight almost illuminated half of the sky across the river.

Under the strict escort of the Guards, Lin En crossed the small catapult position and the crossbows position on the ground. After wading for a while, he found that there were already reserve soldiers on the waterway between the island and the Red Fort Rock Beach. He used the cut down thick wood to build a simple bridge.

Entering the Red Fort Rock Beach, the top floor of the dilapidated hotel in the middle of the beach kept the sound of bows and arrows tightening.

A magnificent scene of war appeared in front of Lynn.

It doesn't need to be clearly seen.

Through the vague and dark flames of black, it was confirmed that the two armies had already fought on the other side. Lannister soldiers in bright red robes were defending the defense line on the city wall with ecstatic fire. Gripen Legion, covered with fine armor, was under the cover of the troops far behind, erecting shields and spears more than ten feet long, attacking the castle with their lives.

The Red Fort Rock Beach is only about 300 meters away from the frontier position, and it has begun to be concentrated by the flowing arrows flying from the night sky.

Dingdang!

A crisp sound hit the iron oak shield in the hands of a soldier in the Guards in front of Lin En. The hair of Hanniang exploded and rushed from the side to Lin En, who was gazing at the war on the other side.

"Sir, it's too dangerous here. Go back to the hotel, where you can construct simple observation fortifications."

Lin Neng was attracted by the fierce battle. He was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then he realized Hanniu's concerns.

He took a last look at the other side and found that the enemy's two high towers on the riverside had raised the Gripen flags and pulled out the two nails that were on the riverside. The subsequent raid was accelerating all of them towards the Harrowway East Wall.

"Give you a glass of wine, immediately arrange an observation tower and let the messenger come to me and stand by."

Lin En slowly walked towards the hotel gate on the right and ordered Hanniu and the soldiers of the Guards.

"As for orders, sir." Hanniu agreed loudly, and he shouted and waved his hand to command. "A small team of personal guards, squads two and three will immediately build the balcony on the second floor of the hotel to build observation fortifications. The fourth team sent people to the troops of the Pioneer Army standing by to cross the river to find a few commanders for the adults."

The observation point surrounded by old door panels and shields was soon deployed? Lynn couldn't wait to come to the hotel balcony.

The enemy's ferry river garrison army? It is the direct army of the Lannister family. This Tywin's confidant army is indeed not comparable to those rabble Lynn had encountered in the Hejian area before.

On a green wave, a brown double-headed horse was under the banner? More than 300 cavalry were rushing out from the right gate of the town that was suddenly opened? They were advancing towards the vanguard of the Gripen Legion.

Lynn squinted his eyes and looked for a long time, sure that this should be the flag of the Rut family? But was this family not a vassal of the Charlton family, and was it cleared by the Lannisters in the early stages of the Battle of the Five Kings?

Why did the flag of the Rut family emerge in the Lannister army? These three hundred cavalry are a great fortune for this small town. Whose army led the troops to work hard for the Lannisters? They actually invested so much money.

But why do they think they can break through the Gripen Legion's formation?

The thin monkey who had been following Linn, as the whistleman who had first arrived in Hejian, reported all the information he knew, "Sir, this town? Although it is called Count Harrowway, it has always been the territory of the Rut family, who is loyal to the Tully family.

That cavalry should have been led by Lucas Rut? He is the only knight left in the Rut family.

Lucas Rut was captured by Lannister's army in the early stage of the Battle of the Five Kings. The Lannisters captured the town? At the same time, they captured Herenburg, which was controlled by the blood troupe. Finally, Lucas surrendered to Demon Mountain with members of the blood troupe of Herenburg. It seems that the Warriors under Demon Mountain were also sent to the town? Otherwise, as a former town noble, he should not have been arranged to take charge of the army in the former territory."

Lin Neng frowned and nodded. Unexpectedly, the Warriors had arrived in the town to support the river garrison army. I don’t know how many people in the Demon Mountain Army in Herrenburg were sent here. If the enemy was too large, it would probably not be easy to win this battle.

Lynn had heard of the title of the Warriors' blood troupe, but he had never seen how these outlaws fought.

His curious eyes gathered on the battlefield again.

The Gripen Legion at the ferry had noticed the cavalry rushing out of the town gate on the right, and the spearmen were quickly maneuvering to the right side of the formation.

As one of the few spearmen retained in the mixed Tiger Ben regiment, the function of these soldiers is to deal with cavalry.

Of course, in addition to the spearmen, Lynn also discovered that the Gripen-fitting Knights and two heavy armored cavalry teams that led their horses across the river were also anxiously wearing armor.

Only then did Lin Neng realize that the enemy's cavalry planned to attack.

With the advantage of firepower of crossbow arrows and catapults, the Gripen Legion's infantry was already in a difficult situation on the battlefield, and they fought to balance the situation.

Once the cavalry of the Gripen Legion also completed the armor and began to patrol around the town to cooperate with infantry harassment.

Then the Lannisters in the small town of Count Harrowway are likely to be completely reduced to the turtle.

Once the Gripen cavalry has an absolute advantage, the infantry can effectively suppress the defensive forces of the enemy town. Even if the commander Duncan in front stops attacking, turns to defend, and surrounds the town without fighting, it is not something that these river garrisons cannot accept.

Because the cavalry of the Gripen Legion is powerful, after crossing the river, they can completely intercept any supplies and troops trying to support on the vast plains of the river south of the Trident River.

Duncan asked the cavalry to cross the river to cut off the enemy's town from the external contacts so that they could not take care of each other from the beginning and end.

And the Lannister commander in the town probably saw this, so he planned to take a desperate attempt?

If so...

Thinking of this, Lin Neng's eyes narrowed slightly at the battlefield ahead and murmured: "Then this cavalry is just a cover. In order to attract our defensive cavalry's spear to the right of the position to set up defense, and their main cavalry...maybe they will be on the left..."

Before Lynn finished speaking, the gate on the left side of the town of Count Harrowway was wide open, and hundreds of cavalry roaming flags came out from the open gate.

Lin En squinted his eyes and waited for a while, roughly estimating the number of this cavalry, which was still about 300 cavalry.

"It's not the main cavalry, but another fake move? Could it be that they want to..."
Chapter completed!
