Eagle of the Valley of Ice and Fire

Chapter 165 Battle of Red Comet (5)

The sound of fighting in the distance became more and more chaotic and intense, and the sound of horse hooves on the ground became increasingly disordered. One could even hear the wailing of the northern cavalry and the painful neighing of the horses.

"Father." Little Jon Amber frowned tightly. He stared into the distance and clamped his legs on the horse. "Sound the horn and ask the Chinese army to support us. Let's speed up!"

The northern cavalry couldn't help but look at the chaotic battle. The direwolf flag had long since disappeared. The cavalry horses were scurrying around the battlefield. Many horses had their legs slashed. The horses were dying and kneeling on the ground. Even though they were far apart, there were mottled blood stains. It is clearly visible even from a distance.

Little Jon held the reins a little harder. He knew very well about this kind of melee. When it was difficult to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy, he could not hastily lead the cavalry to join. He could only follow the original plan and attack the flanks of the valley infantry as much as possible.

He squinted and looked at the rows of spears thrust diagonally at the battlefield in the valley. "Bindfold the horses!" Little Jon ordered in a very urgent tone. Most of the cavalry around him were under his direct command after going south. Everyone, after hearing Little Jon's order, quickly put a black cloth over the eyes of the horse under his crotch, and the movement was very neat and fast.

Spears that were easily broken were left in front of the infantry phalanx, and sawdust were even trampled by both sides of the melee and flew everywhere.

"The enemy has not placed any diagonal spears, the whole army charges!" Little Jon suddenly pulled the reins, and the war horse raised its forelimbs and hissed loudly.

The northern cavalry increased their speed crazily, so much so that the horses under their crotches could not even stop their forward leaning bodies quickly.

"Hold on!" Clayton Redford shouted to the shield-bearing soldiers in front of him. "These horses will die if they encounter the spears. Hold the shields!"

The archers behind him drew their bow strings, and shot arrows like meteors at the charging Northern cavalry. However, this did not seem to hinder Little Jon's charge. Instead, he moved forward more calmly after experiencing several upheavals.

Little Jon Amber looked at the indifferent valley infantry, feeling uneasy in his heart. At first, they only occupied a small corner, but as the cavalry gradually approached, the valley infantry still used traditional interception methods to fight against the cavalry. This kind of The feeling of uneasiness gradually amplifies

until

The spear pierced the horse's neck mercilessly, and blood spread across Little Jon's face, but he had no time to react.

The spear tips of the second row of spears slanted reflected a faint light in the sun, but at this time they were obscured by a shadow, getting closer and closer, leaving only cold sharpness.

The tip of the spear grew larger and larger until it touched the eye.

The spear pierced Little Jon's head and went straight through the eye membrane. The juice of the brain was mixed with the spilled blood, leaving only a dead body.

The horses whined and howled, spears piercing their flesh.

The few seconds between the cavalryman breaking away from the reins and falling to the ground were the last images in their eyes.

The man fell on his back and the horse turned over, and the flesh and blood flew everywhere.

The whimpering distress bugle of the former army sounded several times in the distance. Rickard looked ahead uneasily. His eldest son was still in the Great Jon's former army cavalry.

He looked at the Young Wolf Lord, "Your Majesty, we"

Robb frowned and looked to one side at Daisy Mormont.

Daisy looked at Robb with the same confusion. She didn't understand why Greatjon Umber, who was supposed to be feigning defeat and evacuating, kept sending out so many calls for help.

She even thought it was a ploy by Greatjon Umber to confuse the judgment of the valley. However, according to the Amber family's thinking, it was most likely not the work of Greatjon Umber.

"Your Majesty!" Count Rickard Karstark's voice became louder.

Robb no longer hesitated and nodded, "Get ready for support."

After Rickard received the affirmation, he immediately left Robb's side and ran towards the cavalry column under his command.

Robb still frowned, and his mind quickly speculated on what happened to the former army.

Daisy Mormont tilted her head slightly. The blue and white crescent falcon flag was like a burning light that hurt her eyes, and her eyes trembled slightly. "Your Majesty?" Daisy looked for certainty in her tone, as if she hoped to find an explanation from the king, rather than face the unknown situation.

Robb looked there as well, surprise and consternation flashing across his eyes.

"Wow!~"

The sound of sobbing bugles came from a distance, and the northern cavalry in the Chinese army's formation all looked sideways. The battle flags of the crescent falcon stood solemnly in front of them. Several knights rode their horses back and forth in the formation of the valley cavalry. The flag is running, and in the distance it looks like a blue sky with scattered clouds.

"Woo! Woo! Woo!"

The sound of the bugle became urgent, leaving Robb's Union cavalry little time to think. The Vale cavalry was already charging forward.

The valley cavalry all drew their crossbows from their backs, raised one hand in front of them, and stared at the northern cavalry who hurriedly turned their horses and ran back.

The exquisite chain armor was hidden within the exposed armor of the valley cavalry, providing two layers of protection. Young, weathered faces were exposed from the half-helmets. All the wealthy knights and established nobles who were able to fight on horseback were sent up and down the valley. to support Duke Arryn's expedition.

"Kill!" The sound of killing came from the side of the northern cavalry, carrying the rumble caused by the trampling of horse hooves on the ground. The sharp arrows of the crossbow penetrated the flesh and blood like a wild beast rushing towards them.

Panic spread throughout the Chinese army.

After the first round of crossbows stopped, the first batch of cavalry quickly reversed direction and turned sideways along the northern cavalry square. The original formation of the cavalry, which was like sharp daggers, instantly turned into an opening fan. The second batch of valley cavalry sprang out of his fan.

They had already set up their arrows, and the taut bow strings were suddenly retracted. The arrows were like meteors, falling on the northern cavalry who were still recalling the dripping blood caused by the crossbows.

The first batch of cavalry forming a fan shape were not idle. They took advantage of the moment when the northern cavalry parried the arrows, retracted their crossbows, set up short bows, and continued to fire arrows at the formation of the northern cavalry.

Robb looked at the northern cavalry who were in a mess and didn't know how to deal with it, and shouted loudly, "Turn your horse around and run towards the rear army! Sound the horn! Blackfish and the others should have heard the horn sound! Quick! Let them support! Attack the Valemen's flank!"

Attis Arryn stood in the distance. Two batches of cavalry teams in front of him had been dispatched, and the thousand cavalry behind him would be the final sharp edge.

Silver plate armor is worn on the bodies of the valley cavalry with a small amount of chain mail. The horses under their crotches only show two eyes. The half helmet is put on the horse's mouth, and the chain armor is on the horse's back. They are the best quality valley horses. , grow in the richest river valleys, the horse trainers of Runestone City have trained them, the money of Seagull Town has raised them, and the river valleys of Moongate Castle and Hongge City have grown them.

Looking at the Northern Army who hurriedly turned around to leave, Attis nodded slightly.

Weimar immediately drew out his sword and said, "Canyon Knights!"

"Roar!"

The long sword stood in front of him, "Kill me!"

The rumble of the earth became louder at this moment. The most elite heavy-armored knights in the valley picked up the armor and riding skills that had been hidden in the Blood Gate for many years, and launched the most shocking charge against Stark, who was just starting out and even just exploring cavalry tactics. .

The golden sunlight seems to be a dispensable gown covering the blood-red light of the comet. The gorgeous appearance hides the blood-red scenery. The blue cloak dances in the strong wind, and the silver armor reveals an indifferent glow.

Attis Arryn kicked his legs lightly and his horse galloped forward.

If the red comet had eyes, it would see the blue beasts breaking into the silver river. The knights of the Vale were like beasts, biting the array of Robb Stark crazily.

The direwolf flag was forcibly cut off by a long sword, and the blood stains left by countless corpses could even form a long stream, like a red comet in the sky, responding to each other from afar.
