The last thought in my heart of "rescuing Mace·Tyrell" was washed away by this slogan.
"Since it is Highgarden's fault, let Tyrell take it upon himself."
Matus whispered to himself and immediately ordered his troops to retreat.
Relying on the more open terrain to the west, Goldengrove's troops easily escaped from the battlefield.
This is also thanks to the Stormlands people's cavalry, most of which were gathered in Commander Ti's central army and did not move, otherwise Matus's departure would not have been so easy.
Previously, Matus Earl, who had been working hard for "peace", escaped calmly and chose to stand by and watch the situation in the southern border frontier army not going well.
Other families who saw him fleeing behind him also imitated his example.
They didn't even bother to pretend to resist for a few times and make pretense, and turned around and hurriedly retreated to the southwest, or went to the more numerous rear army formations to join up with Brightwater Keep and other forces.
The Stormlands people's attack power frightened them, and they would rather sit back and watch Highgarden's main force endure the siege than dare to intervene in the battle and ask for a fight.
Compared to Matus Rowan who escaped unscathed and far away from the center of the whirlpool, the situation of Baelor·Hightower is much more miserable.
"Laughter" Baelor was optimistic. He always believed that Storm's End's defenders had been besieged by them for several years and were too hungry to open the door to fight.
But they didn't expect that Captain Davos's magic soldiers descended from the sky and not only successfully sneaked into the castle of "Godsgrief", but also brought a large amount of vegetarian vegetables and meat. The defenders of Storm's End have slowly recovered.
Griffith also passed the news of tonight's surprise attack to Davos Seaworth in Storm's End Castle, and Davos relayed it to the acting Lord of Storm's End Castle.
The young Stannis·Baila Theon was not lacking in courage and immediately made a plan to support the southern expedition.
At this time, when he saw Hightower's troops fleeing and retreating steadily under the attack of "Skinned Man" and "Winter Sun", Stannis secretly thought that the opportunity had come, and there was no hesitation in his heart.
Storm's End's defenders opened the city gate that had not been opened for a year, and suddenly burst out from the diagonal stab. Their number was small, and they had no mounts. However, their choice of position and timing was very fatal.
Baelor Things that he thought were impossible happened before his eyes.
The "smooth retreat" of Hightower troops was disrupted by this unexpected force.
After only a short delay, Roose Earl's skinned spearmen seized the opportunity. They swarmed up and actually caught the panicked Baelor·Hightower in the chaos.
-"Far Wind" Baelor also became the first important noble prisoner in tonight's battle.
The most bizarre scene on the battlefield occurred in the rear area of the Southern Border Army.
The rear troops managed by Lord Allister, the "main war faction", were clearly not touched by the attacks from the front, and they began to retreat slowly at the beginning of the war.
They clearly wanted to keep an "appropriate" distance from the front army, even though the troops in front were being wantonly slaughtered and quickly eaten away by several sharp knives of the Southern Expeditionary Army.
The soldiers of Brightwater Keep, Honeyholt, and Semicircular Fort expressionlessly carried out the strict orders of their lords, blocked all retreat routes, and personally pushed the troops of Tyrell into despair.
In fact, the two Earl families, Honeyholt and Half Circle Castle, are both married to Tyrell of Highgarden, but their marriage partners are all cousins or distant relatives of Mace·Tyrell.
No wonder they are.
Compared to the arrogant Highgarden, their relationship with Brightwater Keep is actually closer, and they belong to a small alliance group in the southwest region and geographically.
The three cities that all belong to the upstream area of Honeywine are currently led by Florent of Brightwater Keep.
Originally, it was because Allister Florent was good at causing trouble and had the highest prestige. Now, it was also added that Brightwater Keep Earl had a personal relationship with the commander-in-chief of the southern expedition army opposite.
Watching Highgarden's direct army with a cold eye being beaten so badly, Ben Bisbury and Bleibbar Earl also had lingering fears.
Fortunately, they shot accurately and early.
This is all thanks to old Alister------
As the left and right wings of the Southern Expeditionary Army quickly repelled the protection of Hightower and Rowan, they took advantage of the trend to cut and outflank the central position. The progress of the the North people and the Stormlands people was almost indistinguishable, and finally successfully joined forces at the rear of the southern front army.
They completed the encirclement and formed an impenetrable encirclement.
So far.
More than 10,000 southerners led by Lord Mace became the thorn in the side of the commander-in-chief of the Southern Expeditionary Army.
The night is getting darker.
The blood color continued to deepen.
The number of torches on the periphery gradually increased, and the light illuminated the entire battlefield, and also reflected on the faces of desperate southerners.
Lord Mace was riding on his unblemished white military horse that was even half as good as Captain Wenda's mount. Surrounded by his personal guards, he took the initiative to break through the encirclement many times.
But no matter how hard he tried or howled, the soldiers in other directions also lost the will to resist the enemy.
They are all discarding their weapons, they are all kneeling, they are all raising their empty hands to signal surrender----
The Canyon Knights were still wreaking havoc among the soldiers who had not yet prayed for surrender, while the troops of the North and Stormlands were on both sides, squeezing inwards.
The retreat from the rear has been completely cut off, and nobles like Lord of Highgarden and Warden of the South are also trapped in a small area and struggling in vain.
"Allister——you traitors!"
Lord Mace once again learned from the House Tyrell cavalry that the rear army was still standing still. He was so angry that he was shaking all over and yelled at the top of his lungs using the most vulgar swear words he had ever heard.
But the only response to him was an embarrassing silence and a crushing defeat on the front line.
Tyrell's current most staunch allies - Paxter and Redwyne of Arbor are currently far away at sea and cannot come to land to join the war.
Regarding the current situation of Mace, it can be said that it is beyond our reach.
At this time, Mace finally understood that he had been betrayed by everyone. This war seemed to be doomed to failure from the beginning.
My own ending, as well as that of Fossoway, Oakheart, and Mei Dou who got mixed up with him, probably won't be very good----
far away.
The central formation of the Southern Expeditionary Army, like the rear formation of the Southern Border Army on the opposite side, also remained unchanged.
Titus rode on Black Pearl, waiting left and right, but did not expect any accidents or surprises.
Isn't Mace·Tyrell very talented, known as "Westeros's No. 1 Champion"? Why didn't he even become the "Storm's End Car God" and are you still waiting for him to drift around corners?
This made him feel disappointed.
Looking at the blazing battlefield in front of me, everything was going so smoothly. There were 40,000 people on the other side, but they were like paper that could be broken with a single poke.
It also made Titus a little less interested.
This is Lord of Highgarden, this is Warden of the South, this is the Reach----
The water is really deep.
Before I completed the transformation of the Reach, I really didn't suit the color of Highgarden.
Lady White Eagle walked quickly, interrupting Earl's contemplation. She got on her horse without hesitation, sat behind Titus, leaned into his ear, and whispered the latest situation ahead, "Sir, the Canyon Knight severely damaged House Tyrell's main force, and both the left and right wings also completed their scheduled tasks.
Allister Earl has firmly controlled the rear of the Southern Border Army, and so far there has been no chaos."
Titus's eyes moved slightly. Brightwater Keep's old the Fox was a little beyond his expectation. The other party handled the matter quite steadily.
Thinking back then, this old guy was still in Highgarden's small garden, secretly planning to confront Mace·Tyrell - I thought that Brightwater Keep Earl's skills were limited to this, but unexpectedly - I actually looked down on him.
Their goal in this battle is very clear, which is Highgarden, which is Mace·Tyrell. The Southern Expedition Army killed a lot of people, but looking at the entire Southern Border Army, the opponent still retains at least half of its strength.
In terms of numbers, it is still no small matter.
Having Allister Florent help can really save Titus a lot of things.
He then heard Wenda say, "----That Baelor·Hightower seems to have been captured. The one who captured him was the Terror Fort Earl, and the guards from Storm's End also contributed----
Now Mace·Tyrell of Highgarden is trapped in the core of the encirclement. He seemed to want to try to break out of the encirclement before, but none of his subordinates were willing. Now they are trying to persuade him to surrender——"
Why is Griffith's night vision so good? Why does he look like an owl?
Wenda's words made Titus look slightly sideways.
Anyway, it's magic----
In today's battle, it was rare that Hei Earl did not personally take action. He nodded slightly and prepared to arrange the final capture.
The opponent is an inflatable fish! A rare Pokemon/Pokémon/Pocket Monster, the kind that can explode gold coins--according to the rarity level of Duke I in this continent, the opponent must be a Shiny Pokemon, right?
The decision is yours, sunfish!
The battle was going very smoothly, and Titus·Peake, who was in a very happy mood, said with a smile, "Give me the order to slow down our army's attack rhythm. We will first use up their energy, and also waste their spirit, and let them struggle in place for a while."
In addition, in front of them, especially Mace·Tyrell, contain those the Reach soldiers who surrendered on the ground----"
As Lord Black Earl's latest order was conveyed, the sound of fighting gradually weakened on the battlefield in the darkness of night.
Instead, there were the wailing and crying of the besieged the Reach people.
They are lucky. More people have died miserably under the slaughtering knives of people from all walks of life, and they will never have the chance to cry again.
Those who are alive and able to speak out should pray for mercy from the Southern Expeditionary Army.
Titus doesn't have much sympathy for this. This is the sin of their master and has nothing to do with him.
The vassal serves the lord, and the lord protects the vassal. If he fails, he must accept punishment. This is the feudal rule of Westeros.
And to be honest, in today's battle, our the Reach people and Dornish Marches people didn't even use a single sword----
The situation tonight changed very quickly.
No one had thought before that the leaders of both sides had just held the first round of negotiations, and on the second night, the former had an absolute advantage and completely defeated the main force of the latter.
The official confrontation between the Southern Expeditionary Army and the Southern Border Army only started in one day, and quickly came to an end in this one-sided battle----
