Chapter 43 Siege

Use a hot knife to cut the flesh and blood, wipe the blood with burlap cloth, roughly pull out the arrow cone, and then pour it with strong liquor.

This is the most advanced treatment method in the military camp.

The sticky herbs were wrapped in satin on his back, and Cole's forehead was already covered with sweat.

Kevan was worthy of being a veteran on the battlefield. He gathered all the troops and sent out cavalry to sweep away the enemy troops. He was counting his own casualties.

In this battle, the Lannister forces suffered heavy losses. Only about 7,000 of their 15,000 troops remained. Of course, the lost ones were not dead, but most of them ran away.

Cole and the others used 2,000 cavalry to attack the 6,000 cavalry in the north. The losses were not small, and they were reduced by half. Cole's own people suffered the most serious losses. It is estimated that there are only about 400 Flame People left around him.

.

War is so cruel.

In fact, ever since people started to support Robb Stark, Cole knew that the situation on his side was no longer optimistic. If Sir Kevan hadn't sent an army to help, their fake reinforcements would have been exposed.

Although Stark retreated, bad news also followed. For example, Ser Jaime Lannister was still captured by the enemy. Kevan had sent a messenger to tell his brother Tywin. He could imagine that Tywin knew this.

Anger at the news.

When the messenger arrived at Tywin's military camp, it looked like a post-war situation. Looking at the flying roaring lion flag, it goes without saying that the Lannister won.

Victory on both fronts should have been cause for joy, but as soon as the news of Jaime Lannister's arrest was delivered to Tywin, all the joy suddenly condensed to the bottom.

Some people suggested continuing to pursue the victory and invade Jinze. Some people suggested joining forces to attack Riverrun. Some even suggested retreating and negotiating peace.

Only Lord Tywin remained silent. His face was terrifyingly gloomy. After all, everyone knew that Jaime was his favored heir. How could he be in a good mood now that the heir was in the hands of the enemy?

He did not give a conclusion, but asked everyone to retreat first, leaving only Tyrion.

Tyrion's wildling army did give Tywin an unexpected surprise. The enemy only had a small group of cavalry and could not break through the barbarian army. Instead, they were killed by the wildlings and fled in all directions.

"Your wildling army and that kid really surprised me." Tywin poured him a glass of wine.

"You must be disappointed that the dwarf son did not die in the battle, right?" He took a sip of wine.

Tywin handed over a letter, "This is a letter from your sister."

Tyrion opened it and looked shocked, "What! They actually let Eddard Stark escape."

The further he looked, the weirder Tyrion's expression became. He removed Ser Barristan, the honorary captain of the Kingsguard, and allowed Janos Slynt to join the Royal Council. So what stupid thing did Cersei do?

!!

"Seven hells, what are she and her idiot son doing!" Tyrion couldn't help but curse.

They fought bloody battles at the front, but as a result, King's Landing was filled with smoke and smoke. Now even the biggest bargaining chip, Eddard Stark, has escaped.

Obviously Tywin recognized his words. "I am going to send you to King's Landing."

"To King's Landing? What should I do in King's Landing?"

"Take care of your nephew for me."

At the end of the letter, Cersei asked them to lead the army to support King's Landing in the name of the king. Stannis Baratheon, Duke of Dragonstone in the south, had already expressed his opposition, and Renly Baratheon of Storm's End directly declared himself king.

, and even gained the support of the Tyrell family.

"I have always been unpopular with my sister Cersei. It's not like you don't know, but I'm afraid she won't listen to my words at all."

"Then take your barbarians with you and manage them well in the city. At the same time, you can also manage the important ministers who are jumping up and down on my behalf. I think Xiao Qiao can do so many stupid things, and they must have a share. How unexpected?

If Xi can't control that little brat of his, then you should do it."

Tyrion stopped, "I'm not even a knight."

"When you arrive in King's Landing, you will be the Prime Minister until I come to the capital."

Tyrion's mouth opened in astonishment, and he didn't know what to say for a moment. In the end, he just asked, "Why send me instead of uncle, or..."

Tywin's golden eyes looked at him without a trace of confusion and said, "Because you are my son."

All the words were swallowed by Tyrion at once.

"Can I take Cole with me?"

"Kevan thinks very highly of that kid. He will help continue the attack on Riverrun."

Tyrion flashed with disappointment, but then he thought about it. It was not a bad thing that Cole fell in the eyes of his father and uncle. At least he would definitely gain a lot of money after the war, including a title and a fiefdom.

Originally, he wanted Cole to replace the Hound who was asked to join the Kingsguard in the letter, or to command the City Guard.

The arrow wound made Cole's movements inconvenient. No matter how good his physique was, he did not have the ability to heal quickly.

The Lannister army is now stationed on the south bank of the Red Fork, backed by the River Road.

Riverrun saw that the Lannisters only had a wall around them, and they often sent out cavalry to harass their camp.

Sir Kevan, an old boy, doesn't embarrass Cole now. Instead, he gives him the command of the cavalry and lets Cole lead the troops to pursue the guerrillas in Riverrun.

The noble knights who were sent to Cole's command did not like him very much, and a wild knight also wanted to stand on their head.

Cole didn't bother them, he just wanted four hundred sets of full-body armor to equip all his flame people, and then sent them out to patrol.

They camped under Riverrun for a few days. One day, Sir Kevan sent someone to call him. As soon as he entered the camp, he saw him sitting on the throne, flanked by rows of nobles and knights from the West.

Seeing Cole come in, Kevan directly asked him to sit on his side. At this moment, Cole felt that the old guy was not so annoying anymore.

But all the nobles in the Western Region were muttering in their hearts, who is this person? Why is he sitting next to the general.

When Cole sat down at the table, Kevan took out a letter with the sealing wax of a roaring lion on it. He unfolded the letter and read, "The generals of the West are at your command. The war is urgent. I, the Guardian of the West, will protect Kevan."

Tywin Lannister, Lord of the Rock and Shield of Lannisterport, orders everyone to continue the attack on Riverrun with Ser Kevan Lannister at the helm."

After hearing the military order, the nobles couldn't help but look at each other. Do you mean they are going to continue to besiege Riverrun? Is it just them? Then the meeting became chaotic, and countless opinions were expressed.

Cole said nothing. After the meeting, Cole walked out of the tent. Suddenly he staggered a few steps and felt a little dizzy. He shook his head and didn't care.

Suddenly someone from behind called him, "Sir Cole, coach, please stay for a while."

Kerr paused for a moment, then stood waiting outside the barracks.
