Chapter 667: The Battle of the Trident!

~8 min read 1,410 words

The continent of Westeros, Riverlands.

If one were to ask where in the Seven Kingdoms was the most chaotic, it was undoubtedly here.

After all, here, a large amount of soldiers from the Seven Kingdoms were gathered.

After forming an alliance, Robert and Eddard led troops to attack the disobedient nobles, trying to form an encirclement and gradually pressure King's Landing.

However, regarding Robert and Eddard's actions, Prince Rhaegar also led the Dornish army and arrived.

Both sides launched a protracted battle on this land, once reversing the situation and nearly driving the other party back.

But in the protracted battle, both sides also sensed that they must annihilate the other party's effective strength.

Thus, the famous Battle of the Trident began.

Located by the two rivers, the armies of both sides were lined up.

As Prince Lewyn Martell, who followed Prince Rhaegar, he was currently staking everything, because they had no way out!

"Defeat them!"

Raising the warhammer in his hand, Robert let out a deafening roar.

"Boom boom boom!"

The cavalry attacked, stepping over the river before them like a surging giant wave.

Facing Robert's army, Prince Rhaegar also raised the longsword in his hand and roared, "For the Targaryens!"

"Kill!"

Under the hysterical roar, the Royalist army also began to attack.

On the spreading Trident, there were sounds of battle everywhere, and the blood also gradually dyed the entire river red.

However, just when both sides were fighting fiercely, a team of cavalry was lying in ambush in the distance.

Pressing his hands on the saddle, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but yawn and say, "I truly don't understand, as a Prince, why Rhaegar had to take the field personally? If he were caught by Robert, wouldn't he have to suffer?"

Just as Zhang Cheng's words finished, the attendant cavalry beside him laughed out loud.

After all, they were also used to Zhang Cheng using this mocking tone to satirize people!

Let alone Prince Rhaegar, even the Mad King Aerys, Zhang Cheng didn't let off; after all, he wouldn't acknowledge a lunatic as King!

Although the lunatic's IQ wasn't a problem, the problem was, he was a lunatic!

"Lord Count, look quickly, the formation over there has been disrupted!"

Pointing at the distant army of Eddard, the attendant cavalry shouted hurriedly.

"Hmm? Let me take a look!"

Hearing the attendant knight's words, Zhang Cheng also hurriedly sized it up.

But after seeing the battle situation in the distance clearly, Zhang Cheng was dumbfounded, because wasn't that Randyll Tarly who had beaten Robert until he was running around with his head in his hands?

Thinking that the other party was actually doing the same thing as him, lying in ambush, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but curse angrily, "Despicable villain, simply without a shred of knightly honor!"

But after hearing Zhang Cheng's words, many attendants and cavalry were dumbfounded, because wasn't the Count also doing the same thing? After all, they of the Count Count Celingen family had also been lying in ambush since the start of the war.

"Lord Count, should we go up? Lord Eddard seems to be unable to hold on!"

Watching Randyll Tarly tearing through the defense like a sharp blade and starting to constantly charge toward Robert, the attendant immediately panicked.

Because if Robert and Eddard failed, then they would have to suffer!

After all, this was the rear of the Royalist army; even if they wanted to run, there was nowhere to go!

"Swish!"

Drawing the Dragon Slayer from his waist, Zhang Cheng immediately put on his helmet and roared, "Prepare to attack!"

"Swish!"

Drawing the longsword from his waist, the attendant cavalry immediately waved the flag in his hand.

Just after the cavalry mounted their horses, a three-thousand-man cavalry team immediately gathered.

"Enemy ahead!"

Roaring, Zhang Cheng charged out directly, and just after the Count Count Celingen family's flag appeared, the Royalist army behind them roared in panic, "Enemy, there is an enemy behind!"

Looking back at the rear, when Prince Rhaegar discovered this scene, he also roared in panic, "Stop them, don't disrupt the formation!"

Facing Prince Rhaegar's order, quite a few noble knights charged up immediately.

But when they confronted Zhang Cheng head-on, they knew how absurd Rhaegar's order was, because this was the person who had personally hammered the Mountain to the ground!

"Swish!"

The Dragon Slayer in his hand slashed out; Zhang Cheng directly flipped a noble off his horse.

Watching Zhang Cheng, who was unstoppable, Robert, who had been having a headache from Randyll Tarly, immediately shouted excitedly, "Hahaha, damn bastard, my trump card has arrived, you guys just wait for death!"

Excitedly waving his warhammer, Robert currently felt as if he had been injected with adrenaline, letting out a roar.

"Damn, wasn't Count Count Celingen at Storm's End? How could he appear here!"

Looking at the distant flag, Randyll Tarly couldn't help but roar.

However, now was not the time for arguing, because he clearly knew that if he didn't block Count Count Celingen's path of advance, Rhaegar would definitely encounter big trouble.

"Boom boom boom!"

Under the galloping hooves, all obstacles seemed to be made of paper, instantly shattered.

Compared to the light cavalry of other families, the Count Count Celingen family had always been heavy armor!

In the Middle Ages, you can believe there is no God, but you absolutely cannot believe that you can withstand the charge of heavy cavalry, because he will truly send you to see God!

Killing through the soldiers in the rear all the way, Zhang Cheng charged up rapidly.

Facing the Dornish soldiers who raised their long spears, Zhang Cheng clamped his warhorse and leaped.

"Swish!"

!

Watching the figure leaping over their heads, the Dornish were dumbfounded, because with this kind of horsemanship, how did you lose to Rhaegar back then?

But before the Dornish could react, the Dragon Slayer in Zhang Cheng's hand had already started swinging.

Watching Zhang Cheng killing through the soldiers all the way, Prince Rhaegar also roared, holding the precious sword in his hand.

After all, he didn't think that a mere Count Count Count Celingen could block him!

But Rhaegar thought wrong; back then, if it weren't for the fact that Tywin had paid enough money at the tournament, he would have been hammered to the ground at that time!

Both sides collided fiercely, the precious sword and the Dragon Slayer sparking.

And just when Zhang Cheng brushed past, everyone discovered that the high-and-mighty Prince Rhaegar had actually been lifted up by him with a sword through his chest!

"Ah!"

Letting out a roar, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but roar, "I am glory!"

Looking at this scene in disbelief, Zhang Cheng backhanded Rhaegar's corpse and threw it into the Trident.

Waving his warhammer, when Robert saw this scene, he couldn't help but be astonished, "By the Seven, what did I see?"

"Prince, Prince Rhaegar!"

Watching this scene collapse, Prince Lewyn was also dumbfounded at this moment.

Because the hope of their Dornish people, at this moment, was completely shattered.

Watching Rhaegar fall, all the Royalist army began to collapse and flee, because they had no chance of winning anymore.

Watching Robert close at hand, Randyll Tarly was currently full of paleness, because he couldn't believe that he had still been one step too slow in the end.

"Victory!"

Raising the warhammer in his hand high, Robert couldn't help but roar.

"Victory, victory!"

With one heart and one mind, the insurgent army roared.

And the collapse of these forty thousand Royalist troops was already the last military force of King's Landing.

What was left for everyone was just a royal city without heavy troops!

At the bonfire banquet in the evening, Robert looked at Zhang Cheng and immediately shouted excitedly, "My friend, I knew it, you would definitely arrive, hahahaha!"

Thinking that Zhang Cheng not only helped him defend Storm's End but also arrived to support at the most dangerous time of the war, Robert couldn't help but be excited.

Hearing Robert's words, Zhang Cheng said, "Troops value speed; we must immediately occupy King's Landing. The Lannisters of the West have already led their army there; I'm afraid problems will arise!"

"Lannisters? That group of damn lions!"

Hearing the name Lannister, Robert also couldn't help but become serious.

Because as fence-sitters, the Lannisters' way of doing things was undoubtedly the most disgusting kind!
