Chapter 309 Combat Mission Arrangement(1/2)
"Even if the war in Riverrun is urgent, don't rush this moment, madam!" Gao Yuan handed the letter in his hand to Mrs. Stark, "The canyons in the Mingyue Mountains are high and dangerous, and there are often vicious mountain clans.
Outside the Blood Gate are now flooded with refugees from the Riverlands."
"I will personally send someone to escort you out of the valley early tomorrow morning..."
"No need to go to such trouble, Lord Gao Yuan!" Mrs. Caitlin shook her head and rejected Gao Yuan's kindness. "No matter how difficult the journey is, I will definitely start heading north tonight. I just ask Lord Gao Yuan to send someone to escort us to Seagull Town.
Sir Roderick and I will take a boat from there and go north to join my son."
"Since you insist on doing so, madam, I will instruct Sir Ronan Grafson to personally escort you to Seagull Town later. Sir Ronan's father is the Earl of Seagull Town, and he will arrange a ship for you to sail to the north.
merchant ship, and personally watch you board the merchant ship before leaving."
"I really don't know how to express my gratitude to you, Master Gao Yuan!"
"You're welcome, Mrs. Caitlin!" After saying that, Gao Yuan ignored Caitlin and turned his attention to Bachelor Colmont beside him, "Where are Sir Brynden and his troops now?"
"Replying to your lord, Ser Brynden and his troops should be stationed along the Green Fork River now." Maester Colmont replied respectfully, "Ser Brynden asked me to tell you, your lord, that he and the troops he led are with Tai.
Duke Wen's vanguard has already encountered an encounter at the ferry at Ruby Beach."
"The vanguard force has about a hundred people. Lord Brynden and the others have wiped out that force. Probably no one will go back to report to Lord Tywin for the time being."
"Hahahaha..." Bronze Jon laughed, "I don't think they can ever go back."
"The person in charge of commanding the enemy's reconnaissance force was Ser Adam Malbrand. He was turning south at the time, setting fire to destroy farmland along the way." Maester Cormon nodded in disbelief: "Duke Tywin's Casterly Rock army followed closely.
Behind them, Lord Brynden is leading his troops to retreat north along the Green Fork River."
"Lord Brynden requests that you send troops to the Riverlands immediately to prevent Tywin Lannister's army from occupying the crossroads of the Riverlands and the ford of the Ruby Ford."
"The fish hasn't bitten the hook yet. Pulling up the fishing rod now will only scare away the big fish I have been waiting for for a long time!" Gao Yuan did not agree to Brynden's request in a hurry. Instead, he ordered Bachelor Kemen to send a letter to Brynden.
Ser Lyndon, "Tell Brynden and the others that crossroads and ferries are not important to me, and let him lead his troops north to join the Stark army."
After Academician Ke Meng left, Gao Yuan came to the old sheepskin map full of faded lines. One of the corners had become warped due to long-term scrolling. Gao Yuan smoothed it with the palm of his hand and took out the dagger from his waist to nail it.
on the desktop.
"The lion is slowly walking into the trap now, and it's time for us to take action." Gao Yuan took the "flag" symbolizing the valley from Mia Shidong and planted it in Yantang Town and Nunsquan Town.
These two locations, "Count Yoon Royce!"
"After the meeting, I ask you to start gathering your troops immediately... Take Sir Lynn Corbray and the troops of Countess Waywood's family to Seagull Town." Gao Yuan gave the order to Bronze Yohn.
, "There you will board the warship that Count Gerald Grafson has prepared for you, and wait for my order to lead the troops to land at the port of Salt Soup Town or Maiden Spring Town."
Lord Yohn Royce brought about 12,000 men to Gaoyuan this time, and the combined troops of Countess Waynwood and Sir Lynn Corbray were almost the same number. In this way
, Bronze Yonn will lead a total of more than 25,000 troops this time, taking ships from the sea to go behind Tywin Lannister and his Casterly Rock army.
After receiving the order, Count Yohn Royce frowned and came to the map. He seemed to be speculating on Gao Yuan's intention of arranging his troops in this way, and he seemed to be thinking about how to secretly attack those two ports.
Login.
"Lord Gao Yuan, your strategic arrangement is indeed exquisite, but... you see, the combined troops of the Waywood family and I have exceeded 25,000 people... Are you sure that Seagull Town
Can those ships in the harbor accommodate all of us?" Bronze Yohn boldly raised his doubts.
"And if we try to bypass the back of Duke Tywin's army, we will definitely run the risk of being discovered by the many castles and lords of the royal territory; as well as the risk of being attacked from both sides by Duke Tywin and the princes of the royal territory."
"I'm afraid we won't be able to fight the Lannister army on both the north and south fronts at the same time... Although Lord Tywin can't expect that we will get behind them... This way we can catch them off guard and catch them off guard.
But in my opinion, someone like Tywin Lannister who has experienced many battles may not fall into the trap so easily."
"If we cannot defeat Lord Tywin Lannister and his troops at the first opportunity, we may be surrounded by the princes of the king's territory and Lord Tywin next."
"Those princes in the king's territory, do they have the courage to lead the troops out of the castle?" Gao Yuan asked the other party, "Earl Yohn, don't forget that some of the lords on the Crab Claw Peninsula are under the rule of Duke Stannis."
"Since Count Yohn has so little confidence in yourself, I will send you another 10,000 troops!" Gao Yuan's words immediately caused a burst of ridicule among the princes. They laughed at the bronze Yohn who was entrusted with the important task of leading by Gao Yuan.
Such a large number of troops went out to fight, but they are still timid here.
There are almost only a handful of castles in the royal territory. This is not because the people in the valley look down on the princes of the royal territory, but because Bronze Yoen really thinks too highly of those princes. With the strength of the lords of those few castles, they can gather together at this moment.
The four thousand troops that came out were already overwhelming, not to mention that the relatively wealthy castles on the Crab Claw Peninsula were still under the rule of Dragonstone.
"Do you all think this is funny?" Gao Yuan looked around at the princes with a serious expression, "Or do you think you can do better than Bronze Jon? If anyone dares to stand up now and say that he can be Count Bjorn
If it's better, then I will hand over this army to his command."
"But I'm going to say something ugly first. If any of you let Tywin Lannister go because I lost the war, leaked the news in advance, and let go of an important force in the West, then you will
You can only come to me with your head in front of you."
As soon as these words came out, the hall of the Gate of the Moon suddenly became silent. The princes here are all war-experienced masters. If they still can't see clearly the lofty battle plan, then it's time for them to clean up.
The water accumulated in my head suddenly.
Of course they understand how heavy the burden is on Count Yohn Royce, otherwise Gao Yuan would not have allocated more than 25,000 soldiers to the opponent with a stroke of his pen. There is nothing wrong with strategically despising the enemy, but
There is nothing wrong with being cautious when implementing specific combat plans.
Situations on the battlefield are usually ever-changing. In history, there are almost countless cases where the few have defeated the many and the weak have defeated the strong. No one can guarantee that he will never make mistakes on the battlefield, and no one can guarantee that he can win every battle.
Fight, even when our side is stronger than the enemy in every aspect.
People often say that a ship that sails with caution will last forever. If you want to perfectly execute and achieve lofty combat missions and goals, as the commander who performs this important task, you must imagine all possible accidents before the battle begins.
.
"Very good, since no one is willing to take the initiative to take on this combat mission." Gao Yuan said solemnly, "Then this combat mission should be left to Count Yohn Royce."
Gao Yuan's voice echoed in the huge hall, and his words were like steel that could not be questioned or refuted. This made the valley princes who had participated in the Harrenhal Tournament couldn't help but think of the once arrogant Tange.
Rhaegar, Prince of Lean.
At the end of the dynasty ruled by the Targaryen family, people once happily believed that Rhaegar Targaryen would be a better king than his father. But it was a pity that Rhaegar Targaryen, who had been expected by countless people, would
He was a prince, but died on the Ruby Bank at the hands of Robert Baratheon, who rebelled against his father.
Gao Yuan raised his head and looked at Countess Waywood opposite him: "Mrs. Anya, who is the commander of your family's army now?"
"Morton Waywood is my eldest son and the heir of the Waywood family. Naturally, he will personally lead the Waywood family's army." Countess Waywood told Gao Yuan with a smile.
"I know Sir Morton Waywood, he is a good hand on the battlefield." Gao Yuan praised, "With Sir Morton and Sir Lynn Corbray as assistants to Earl Yohn Royce, then I
I couldn’t be more reassured.”
Gao Yuan actually had something he didn't say, which was to tell Bronze Yohn and Sir Morton to be careful about Sir Lyn. Sir Lyn was famous for being capricious. At the beginning of the Reaver War, Lyn...
Corbray once joined the Targaryen side and fought against Lord Jon Arryn and his Vale army outside Gulltown.
But not long after the war began, Ser Lyn Corbray, who saw the situation was not going well, betrayed the royalists and his party, and defected to join Jon Arryn's Vale Rebels, fighting under the command of Lord Arryn.
In the original book, when Bronze Yonn led the Alliance of the Righteous to jointly denounce Petyr Baelish, he was bribed by Littlefinger in advance and drew a sword against Littlefinger during the negotiation. This act of trampling on the rights of the guests made him
All the princes in the six towns were disgraced, and the campaign to expel Littlefinger was aborted.
"Lord Gao Yuan, what if Duke Tywin Lannister is not fooled?" Lord Holden Redford suddenly asked.
"He will definitely be fooled!" Gao Yuan was particularly sure of this, "I will lead an army of 20,000 people from the valley to personally fight against Tywin Lannister."
"Once Tywin Lannister learns about our army's westward Bleeding Gate, he will definitely lead his army to fight with our main army outside Lord Harroway's town."
"Hearing that I personally led the troops in the battle, he will definitely try his best to defeat us. At the worst, he will drive us back to the valley."
"Only in this way can the Kingslayer take down Riverrun and the Riverlands within easy reach, and let go to deal with the imminent northern army." Gao Yuan told everyone present, "This is me
The reason why the refugees from the Riverlands were put into the Vale, I know that the Lannister will definitely send spies among the refugees."
"I just want him, Tywin Lannister, to know that I have personally led an army from the Vale towards them."
Now that four of the 80,000 Valley troops have gone, when Sir Nestor Royce asked Gao Yuan what arrangements he would make for the rest of the army. Gao Yuan only told them that the remaining armies had their own arrangements, but
Now is not the time for them to take action.
Gao Yuan needs these soldiers to be ready for war at any time, and they must never stop combat training. If the lords feel that they have nothing to do, they can let these soldiers join the team that receives refugees and maintains order in the canyon.
After speaking, Gao Yuan sat down on the bench with a bright smile on his face. It was obvious that he was quite satisfied with his performance and arrangements, as if everything was under his control.
Caitlin frowned and looked down at the map: "The terrain of the Mingyue Mountains is too steep and narrow, and your eastern army cannot deploy there."
"Old lion Tywin Lannister must think so too." Gao Yuan smiled even more happily on his face, "If he is so proud, he will definitely think that I am too young and inexperienced to make such a stupid decision."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Just as Lady Catelyn and Ser Brynden are determined, Tywin Lannister must also be determined that I will not give up the crossroads and the ferry.
Important strategic location in the Riverlands."
"He would never have thought that I never paid much attention to those two locations, nor would he have thought that I was using these two locations as bait to lure him, an old lion, into the trap I had set step by step.
among.”
"What do you think of this plan?" Gao Yuan asked her.
Looking at the proud expression on Gao Yuan's face, Mrs. Caitlin couldn't help but feel in a trance. For a moment, she seemed to see the figure of her son in Gao Yuan. The same pride, the same handsomeness and the same childishness...
Although she was still a little worried, she still had to agree that this was an excellent plan. Gao Yuan almost took full advantage of the dynamics of the enemy's army, the inertial thinking of the opponent's commander, the current situation of the terrain and the people's hearts. No matter what it was,
Anyone who stands in Tywin Lannister's current position will fall into the trap laid by Gao Yuan.
It is very possible that Gao Yuan can wipe out all these bandits from the west without the support of Robb's northern army. However, the outcome of the war is often unknown, and even if he wins the Victory Valley, he will still have to fight for this.
Pay a heavy price.
