Quanyou: I loaded the Demon Hunter system

Chapter 221

"They came out of the forest in the northeast. There was no shouting, and there was only a large flash of sword light under the moonlight."

"Our cavalry was stationed in the southwest, and it was the last to hear the news, and it was already too late."

"The first thing that was destroyed was the infantry camp of the Seven family. I couldn't sleep at that time, so I wandered around in the camp. I saw our boys running out of the tent in a panic, unprepared, His throat was cut by a long sword sent up from behind."

"They began to flee, fleeing to the position of our central army. The thin front formed by a small number of soldiers from the Mandalay family and the Amber family was overwhelmed by our own people at once."

"Once the armies of these two families were in disarray, we completely lost the possibility of resisting. We were not dispersed by the people of the valley, but defeated by the fleeing members of our own army."

Rickard Karstark babbled, his haggard face, his dusty gray beard bobbing up and down.

"Later, I led my family's cavalry to try to break through. At that time, the order of the entire army no longer existed. The elite heavy cavalry of the Valley people cut down His Majesty Rob's wolf-running banner in the second charge. .”

"Without the banner, the soldiers would have no direction, and could only fight on their own, or...scattered and fled in all directions."

"I chose the north and fled all the way. Unfortunately, I was shot in the waist by an eagle cub in the valley and fell off my horse."

"Later, when I woke up, the guards had already transported me across the Red Fork River. At that time, it would be impossible to go south to see what happened to His Majesty. It would be better to go to Twin River City. At least you, or your grandpa, is always there."

After Clay finished listening, he didn't say anything, just waved his hand, and the accompanying military doctor immediately stepped forward and untied the rotten-smelling bandage around Rickard Karstark's waist.

The military doctor was obviously used to this kind of injury for a long time. He just frowned slightly, and after saying "trouble" softly, he began to take out the corresponding medicine and knife from the wooden box beside him and started to work.

Clay's two personal soldiers held down Rickard Karstark, and the next time will be very difficult, but if he doesn't deal with it now, his physical condition simply cannot support him to act with Clay .

"Ho... ho... come on, I can hold back, by gods, come on, I can't wait to get well and avenge my soldiers!"

Rickard Karstark gritted his teeth and said, the military doctor was not polite to him, and the knife in his hand cut directly.

If you don't hang up the rotten meat, the wound will never heal, and the short-term pain is worse than the long-term pain.

Rickard Karstark had a stick stuffed in his mouth, his face was pale with pain, his brow was sweating, and there was a faint smell of blood in the bakery. Obviously, this military doctor was quite skilled. .

There is almost no professional doctor in Westeros. This kid is so proficient at cutting people. Clay can be sure that this guy is mostly engaged in the slaughter industry in peacetime. Otherwise, he would never be able to cut flesh from people. trembling.

Tsk, how should I put it, it can be regarded as a professional counterpart in a sense, maybe?
……

After dealing with Rickard Karstark, Clay successfully completed the reorganization of these 70 people. Clay scattered these 70 people into his own team, and specially told the captains of each team to Be optimistic about them.

It's not Clay's letter, but these paoze who once went south with him to fight, if the news leaks, his plan will face great risks.

If Jon Royce knew that there was an army of nearly people rushing towards them in his rear, Clay believed that he would not hesitate for a second, and would immediately go all out to reinforce Earl Harroway's little army. town.

That place was not to be lost to the people of the Vale, but they had won so suddenly, thinking that the north was no longer a threat, and they took it lightly.

Helping Rickard Karstark onto a more manageable and docile war horse, Clay looked at the deserted town and issued the latest order:

"Chrissen, you take 500 people across the bridge, walk a few more times, and forge the traces of our entire army crossing the bridge."

"Then you lead the army to cross the river again and come back. Remember, this time, keep two horses in a row and go west to minimize your traces. At the same time, tear down the bridge for me, but don't tear it down completely. It looks like a hasty evacuation."

"Make sure they can fix this bridge and let them cross the Blue Fork to continue the pursuit, understand what I mean?"

After Clay explained, Krissen, who heard the order, thought for a while and understood the key point of Clay's order.

The core of the core is to fake your own side, the whole army has withdrawn to the east of the Blue Fork River, and seduce the valley people behind to cross the river to pursue.

As long as they crossed the river and their side didn't pass, by the time they reacted, their side would have been far enough away from them.

Moreover, this is a town, and there are dense forests growing around it. The traces of the movement of large troops are very easy to cover up, and it is the best place to deceive.

"Understood Lord Clay, I'll take the brothers there right now."

Clay nodded slightly. This kid's comprehension is not bad. There is really no one on his side, the only nobleman. In order to attract them to divide their troops, he even led people to the north.

"I will lead people to retreat into the woods first, and at the same time cover my whereabouts. I won't wait for you. Just remember, after completing my order, immediately march towards the Xizitan Ferry, and I will wait for you there."

"Go on, don't let me down."

For some reason, Clay wanted to hear a firm tone of "Promise to complete the mission!"

But Clay knew very well that his wish would never come true in this world. Krissen in front of him had already turned his horse and rode towards the 500 people that Clay rowed past for him.

Shaking his head slightly, and throwing away all the distracting thoughts in his mind, Clay ordered the troops to start walking towards the woods on the west side of the beauty collection.

During this period of time, there was no rain, and the ground was relatively dry. Although it took time to clean up the traces, it was actually much easier than the mud after the rain.

On Krissen's side, cavalry also put on a posture of more than a thousand people, and swaggered across the river. As the horseshoes stomped, the entire bridgehead was dusty, and horseshoe marks were everywhere.

This kid was afraid that the people in the valley behind his butt would not be fooled, so he put on an extraordinarily hard performance.

Clay glanced at him with a smile, whipped his horse, and walked westward.

……

Clay had no intention of sending Rickard Karstark back to the Twins, though he could.

In the entire northern battlefield of Hejian, counting the two thousand cavalry in hand, the troops directly under Clay's command exceeded .

There are infantry, cavalry, people from Hejian, people from the North, and people from beyond the Great Wall.

It can only be said that the composition is so complicated that Clay can't describe it at all.

And he is not a certain transportation captain who is dedicated to micromanagement, and he will not issue outrageous orders to move the front line five meters to the left.

Based on this situation, he needs a large number of people who command troops for him.

At least the Eastern Legion is going to fight defensively. If there is no experienced guy to arrange it, if these recruits are expected to organize the fortifications by themselves, the casualties will soar to the sky.

The military doctor had repeatedly assured Clay that Earl Rickard Karstark's health would never be a problem, and he would always watch over him and pay attention to his physical condition at any time.

That being the case, it's no wonder Clay, it's up to you!
Rickard Karstark didn't know that he had been captured by Clay, and he was going to help Clay command the army in the future. At this time, he was lying on the horseback a little weakly, but his mind was clear.

He didn't quite understand why Clay wanted to go straight west. Wouldn't he have crossed the Blue Fork River and headed north to the Twin River City?

"Master Clay, what are we doing here?"

After holding back for a long time, Rickard Karstark still asked this question. He didn't like this kind of life without any information at all, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

"Oh, of course we want to go south. Behind our buttocks, three thousand horsemen in the valley are chasing us. If we don't run, why don't we wait for them to catch up and stab us to death with their thin needles?"

When Rickard heard that there were 3000 people chasing him in the valley, his waist pain disappeared immediately, and he said eagerly:
"3000 people, Lord Clay, how do you plan to deal with them?"

The old guy was very anxious when he saw it, and his saliva was flying.

"I must remind you, my lord, that their combat power is very strong. The cavalry's impact is very powerful, and the vanguard is all plate armor. You must not underestimate the enemy, my lord. You must not repeat the mistakes made by His Majesty Rob!"
