#122Chapter 121 One Person
"The other side has already arranged it. It seems that they have calculated that we will pass by here."
In the camp of the Winter Wolf Army, Earl Blackfish looked at the map and the captured prisoners, carefully comparing the information and understanding the intelligence on the battlefield.
According to the news sent back by the prisoners and spies, it can be basically confirmed that Kevan Lannister is guarding the road he must pass.
"Sir Rabbit, huh..."
Earl Blackfish couldn't help but sneer when he thought of the nickname, "But this route is not difficult to guess. Only this road can quickly support Highgarden."
"Fifteen thousand people, five thousand more than us, more cavalry, and good equipment. They are worthy of being soldiers from the West. They are rich."
Facing the situation where the other side's troops were divided into two routes, Earl Blackfish certainly wanted to pass quickly and then support Highgarden, but the old guy Kevan stopped him.
"What should I do?"
Just as Earl Blackfish was thinking, a thunderous sound suddenly came from his ears, and his face instantly showed joy.
He would definitely not have misheard this sound, and no soldier who had been on the battlefield in the entire Westeros would have misheard it.
This unique thunder, the thunder with an inexplicable rhythm in the noise, can only be made by one team.
Wolf cavalry.
His Majesty Robb has arrived.
Not long after, Robb, wearing bright silver armor, came to the tent of Earl Blackfish with Grey Wind.
"Your Majesty, how is the situation?" Earl Blackfish asked about the situation in the riverlands.
Robb waved his hand: "It's all solved, what about the situation on your side?"
Earl Blackfish smiled bitterly: "Kevan, the old rabbit, is guarding the road and building some fortifications. If we want to support them, we must eat them first."
Robb shook his head: "It may be too late, the situation in Highgarden is more critical."
"Highgarden can't be defended?" Earl Blackfish was a little surprised. His spies couldn't go too far beyond Kevan's defense line, so they didn't know the situation in Highgarden.
In his opinion, Highgarden should be very stable.
Considering the walls and supplies of Highgarden, the Hightower family, with such a small number of people, would not pose any threat even if they besieged Highgarden for a year.
"Well, since Kevan has already arranged the battle line, your large army should not be able to get through."
Robb quickly thought of a countermeasure: "I will take the wolf cavalry to bypass it. When I take action, you will fight with Kevan and attract their attention. In a plain like the Reach, the cavalry will be very fast."
Earl Blackfish smiled slightly: "As you wish, Your Majesty. But I think our Winter Wolf Army may not only attract the attention of the other party."
Robb looked at Blackfish's confident look and said nothing more: "Be careful."
"It is they who should be careful."
Bang!
An explosion-like sound exploded on the flat ground, and Earl Blackfish led his soldiers in an orderly manner, squeezing towards Kevan's army.
On the plain not far from the battlefield, a heavy cavalry of a thousand people was running wildly.
From the sky, they looked like a sharp spike, and at the front of the spike was a knight wearing bright silver armor.
He held a two-handed giant sword and a staff in his hands, and a huge wave exuded cold air beside him. His limbs leaped wildly, and he rushed towards the south with unparalleled momentum.
——
Highgarden, the dilapidated city wall.
Part of the beautiful castle made of white marble has been blackened by the flames. From a distance, it looks like countless spots have appeared on the city wall. Highgarden is no longer as beautiful as it used to be.
The huge catapult is still dancing, and every time it is thrown, it hits the heart of every soldier guarding Highgarden.
"Our goal is very clear, those damn catapults!"
Randal Tarly stood behind the city gate, wearing complete armor, and loudly encouraged the soldiers' morale: "The enemy is not a fool, they will definitely hold on, so we have to kill those damn enemies!"
"The catapults on the opposite side are getting closer and closer. Soon, they will throw things like wildfire into the city, where your families, relatives, and friends live!"
"The city wall can't hold out for long under the pressure of catapults and carriages. If the army of Hightower breaks into the city, Tywin, the old dog, will soon take over Highgarden."
"I think you all know what Tywin's attitude is towards the breached city."
"We have no way to retreat, and Highgarden is behind us!"
"Follow me, kill!"
The city gate slowly opened, and Lord Randyll Tarly raised his spear, rode a tall horse, and rushed out first!
"For Highgarden!"
"Kill!!!"
Behind Randyll Tarly, countless cavalrymen filed out.
On the city wall, the Duke of Mace, who was tied to a spear, closed his eyes and prayed in his heart that the stones would not hit him.
But the Duke of Mace's voice was still loud: "Defend Highgarden! I'm here, I'm with you!"
"I will never retreat a step!"
"Highgarden is behind you!"
"Hold on!"
The soldiers saw this funny scene, and for some reason, they wanted to laugh, but a sense of sadness rose in their hearts.
They roared with the Duke of Mace: "For Highgarden!"
The Duke of Mace watched the scene where Randyll Tarly led all the cavalry to rush towards the enemy camp, and prayed in his heart: You must be faster!
Randyll Tarly led the cavalry and rushed towards the Hightower army frantically.
Baelor Hightower reacted immediately: "Stop him! As long as he dies, Highgarden is finished!"
The catapult immediately turned around and threw boulders at the cavalry team. Although it did not kill many people, it could deter the cavalry charge and slow down the offensive.
Peng!
Wildfire also broke out in the cavalry phalanx led by Lord Randyll Tarly.
Many cavalry and horses were instantly swallowed up by wildfire and burned to death.
Count Randyll Tarly showed no fear and took the lead in riding out of the catapult's range, facing the phalanxes that were waiting for them.
boom!
Randyll Tully rushed in, followed by countless horses.
The clash of spears and armor, the whine of horses and men.
There were even cavalrymen who, after being ignited by wildfire, insisted on running into the Hightower family's square formation, regardless of their own bodies, and rushed towards the crowd.
Hightower's soldiers were frightened by the crazy scene before them, and backed away in horror.
"follow me!"
Lord Randyll Tarly shouted and led his men towards the catapult.
They are cavalry and must maintain mobility. It is very difficult to destroy a catapult without heavy weapons.
But the other party has something ready-made and can provide convenience for him.
"Fight toward the wildfire and burn their catapults with wildfire!"
Lord Randyll Tarly shouted, and the cavalry charged forward.
Cavalrymen were constantly being pulled off their horses, and Hightower's soldiers were constantly being knocked away and chopped down.
The cavalry of Highgarden burst out with astonishing momentum. They were not afraid of death, and soon some people successfully rushed to the vicinity of the wildfire.
"Fuck you!!"
The soldier roared angrily, grabbed the clay pot, and released all the wildfire stored in it.
boom!
The wildfire broke out in an instant, and the soldier was submerged in an instant. In the moment before he lost consciousness, he spread the wildfire to the vicinity of the catapult.
"Well done!"
Randyll Tully shouted, and continued to repeat the actions with the cavalry.
Peng Peng Peng!
Once things get started, everything else seems to fall into place.
Each catapult was destroyed, and a powerful wave of wildfire swept across the entire Hightower army in an instant.
Randyll Tully and his men rushed back and forth in the smoke of the wildfire, like terrifying knights coming out of hell.
Hightower's army suddenly became chaotic.
The soldiers in front were frightened by Randyll and wanted to separate and run away. The soldiers behind who didn't know what was going on wanted to rush up and surround Earl Randyll Tarly.
The whole army was in chaos in the blink of an eye.
The occurrence of this situation was like a raging fire, quickly sweeping through the entire army.
Landao was overjoyed when he saw this, knowing that the enemy was defeated.
"Assemble! Charge and kill!"
Randyll Tarly roared loudly, calling on his soldiers to hunt down the defeated group of remnants.
——
The Duke of Metz, who was standing on the wall of Highgarden, saw this scene and roared excitedly: "Victory! Our army has won a great victory!"
He stands high and sees far. Although he is not very good at fighting, he can still understand the basic situation.
At this time, Hightower's army was counterattacked by wildfire, and Lord Randyll Tarly's charge was too fierce, and he actually penetrated the opponent directly!
"Attack! Attack!"
The Duke of Metz shouted excitedly, asking his infantry to go out to meet Lord Randyll Tarly and solve the battlefield at the same time.
"Let me come down quickly, I'm going to kill, uh..."
Suddenly, the Duke of Metz's throat seemed to be strangled by someone, his eyes widened and he could not speak.
He stared blankly into the distance, the flush on his face gradually subsided and began to turn pale.
On the other side of the hill, an army of red, white and gold appears, embroidered with the symbol of the lion.
That's the Lannister army!
As the first group of soldiers appeared, behind them, densely packed Western troops appeared like ants.
They stood on the hill, looking down at the battlefield below, as silent as a volcano about to erupt.
On the battlefield, everyone who was still cheering in High Court instantly fell silent.
The red-gold troops were like their God of Death, ready to sentence them to death at any time.
"It's over, it's all over."
Lord Randyll Tarly was despairing.
The battlefield was so big, and the remaining Hightowers' army was only defeated, not dead.
Seeing Tywin coming with his people, those people definitely fought back!
Coupled with the Lannister's flanking attack, it's going to be a disaster this time!
There was an eerie silence on the battlefield.
The sounds of fighting were slightly stagnant.
Just when everyone was in despair, the sound of thunder suddenly appeared in the clear sky.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound.
On the other side where the Lannister army appeared, a horse suddenly rushed up the hill and appeared in everyone's sight.
The knight held a giant sword in his hand, raised his horse's hooves high, and was followed by a monster-like giant wolf.
Ouch!
The giant wolf roared and the horse's hooves hit the ground.
Then the knight began to charge.
Holding a greatsword in his hand and wearing a white armor, he charged towards the Lannister army alone.
