#17Chapter 17 Ten Times the Enemy
The stream is gurgling and the moonlight is sparkling.
The fast-flowing stream shattered the full moon, and the rustling of leaves in the woods and the gentle neighing of war horses lingered in my ears.
After a long journey, the Wolf Cavalry finally found a place to rest temporarily in the Whispering Forest near Riverrun.
Gray Feng was slightly agitated and kept shuttling back and forth among the soldiers, causing a commotion and the sound of armor clashing and rubbing.
"Good boy, it's time for you to be quiet for a while." Robb grabbed Gray Wind and let him stay by his side peacefully.
At this time, Sir Blackfish emerged from the woods. He was very busy today. In order to cover the team's whereabouts, he did not dare to rest for a moment and was always in a state of mental stress.
"Jaime had no idea of our movements. Not a single raven flew back to his camp. I killed all the Lannister family scouts I encountered."
Robb now trusts Sir Blackfish. In the past two days, he has proven himself to Robb with his own strength. He is a rare talent and his second grandfather.
"Tell me about the situation in James's army."
Sir Blackfish hesitated for a moment: "They... have about 3,000 cavalry and about 10,000 infantry. I barely made contact with Riverrun City. The army in Riverrun City is now commanded by Lord Blackwood of Raventree Castle. There are three to four thousand people."
Robb chuckled: "Ah, four thousand people versus thirteen thousand people, it seems the opponent has the advantage."
Sir Blackfish didn't know whether his grandson was arrogant or confident, but his relaxed expression still made Blackfish's wildly beating heart feel a little relieved.
"It's not that there is no good news," Ser Blackfish drew a picture for Robb on the sand. "Because Riverrun has a special geographical location, located at the angle between the Red Fork River and the Tumbling Stone River, in order to surround Riverrun, the Kingslayer had to surround Riverrun. The army was stationed in three places, and their strength was very scattered."
Robb thought for a moment: "Cavalry is far more important than infantry. We must first find a way to eat up the Lannister family's cavalry."
Sir Blackfish immediately offered a strategy: "The three thousand cavalry of the Lannister family are all led by the regicide. These precious little lumps will not participate in the siege. They will usually clean up the scattered resistance forces in the Riverlands near the battlefield.
Lord Blackwood, who defends the city, sometimes sends troops to harass the defenders besieging Riverrun, but they are all chased down by the Kingslayer's cavalry. The Kingslayer is very strong and violent. We can pretend to be the defenders of Riverrun. Army, lead James here. "
Robb thought this strategy was feasible, but he saw Ser Blackfish's expression hesitant and asked, "What's wrong? What's the problem?"
Sir Blackfish looked around: "But we only have three hundred people, sir. There are three thousand cavalry on the opposite side, and the number is ten to one."
"So, you think we will lose?"
Sir Blackfish carefully organized his words: "I don't know, but this will definitely be a hard battle. The Kingslayer is very powerful. He almost shattered the entire Riverlands by himself. You saw the tragedy along the way, James. Mu's army has won two consecutive victories and is in great momentum, but our numbers are too small."
Robb patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry, no matter how strong the Kingslayer is, he is only one person."
Sir Blackfish wanted to say, aren't you also a person?
Robb looked at Theon, and Theon understood what Robb meant, put his fingers in his mouth, and blew a whistle.
Woo Di——
After hearing this whistle, all the wolf cavalry in the Whispering Forest immediately took action. Their movements were like actors who had practiced it countless times, with a neat beauty in the chaos. Within ten seconds, all the wolf cavalry found themselves. horse.
The armor on their bodies was neatly dressed at some point, and they held spears or halberds in their hands. The cold gleams on their tips were neatly arranged, quickly forming a neat square formation. They were silent and stared at their commander.
The atmosphere in the forest suddenly became chilly, and the temperature seemed to drop accordingly.
The somewhat dazed Sir Blackfish and Steven Fry were at a loss. They were shocked by the scene that happened in front of them. What kind of team is this?
They have never seen such an army before. In such a short period of time, if they face such an opponent, they may not have put on the armor yet, and this so-called wolf cavalry can already strike them with a sword at any time!
The two seemed to understand why Robb was so confident.
Robb came to the wolf cavalry phalanx: "We are about to enter the battle. There are about three thousand people on the opposite side, all cavalry."
The wolf cavalry phalanx did not waver at all, their eyes were still sharp.
Robb took a deep breath: "This is your first battle, the Whispering Forest. You must remember this place, and the world will remember this place, because here, the first invincible team in history, the Wolf Cavalry, will begin their first battle."
"Whoever the enemy is, let them know that winter is coming."
The phalanx of wolf cavalry remained motionless, no one said a word, and there was nothing in the forest except the sound of rushing water.
But Sir Blackfish and Sir Steffron Frey on the side seemed to hear thunder and fire roaring, wind and ice howling, and a force and momentum flowing in this team.
At this moment, the two of them believed without reservation that this battle would be won!
Although the number of the enemy is ten times that of our own, although the enemy has won consecutive battles, and although our own team has long been exhausted after a long journey, but
This battle must be won!
"Sir Blackfish, send a raven to inform Lord Blackwood of Riverrun, and have them send troops immediately to harass the Lannister army that is besieging them."
Smalljon Umber, Torrhen Karstark, Eddard Karstark, Clay Severn, Theon Greyjoy, and Daisy Mormont, the eldest daughter of Countess Maggie and the heir of Bear Island...
Robb carefully selected a dozen noble soldiers from the wolf riders and prepared to use them as bait to lure the enemy deeper.
The children of the nobles have much better physical fitness, and their survival probability as bait is higher. Robb also wants to take this opportunity to give them a stage to perform, so as to prepare for their subsequent promotion and win over the families behind them.
Robb watched them leave: "I'll wait for you here, don't let me down."
Theon and Smalljon held a spear with the flag of the Tully family in their hands, and disappeared into the night with a dozen people.
Robb and the remaining wolf riders were lying in ambush on the back of the hill, waiting for the enemy to enter the depression in front of the hill, and then the wolf riders would launch the most deadly charge.
After a deathly silence, a faint voice came from afar.
"Here they come." Sir Blackfish heard his voice tremble.
