#378 - Chapter 112: Horses Trampling the Holy Temple (VI)

River tightly hugged Lyanna, gently wiping away the blood and dirt from her face. He murmured, "I'm sorry, my dear, I'm late. I will never let you leave me again."

Lyanna gently stroked River's face, smiling softly, "It's okay, my dear. We are finally reunited."

River nodded, his eyes filled with determination. He gripped his longsword tightly, ready to fight the enemy at any moment, he wanted to protect his family.

The slaughter on the battlefield continued, with soldiers mercilessly cutting down enemies.

Becotte followed closely behind, nervously watching the surroundings, afraid of someone ambushing. He looked at Liu Yuan with a solemn face, he whispered, "Garon, Lyanna has been rescued, let's retreat first!"

Liu Yuan firmly shook his head, his eyes revealing a sense of determination. He replied in a low and firm voice: "No, now that we have decided to take action, we cannot give up halfway. Today, the Church of King's Landing must be eliminated. This is not only a warning to everyone, but also to make them understand the consequences of opposing us."

Becotte couldn't help but feel a little shocked. He widened his eyes, unable to believe what he had heard. He quickly explained, "But... there are still many civilians over there!"

Liu Yuan chuckled coldly, then reached out and pointed to those who were fighting fiercely. He said in a cold tone: "When they choose to attack us, they are no longer civilians, but a mob! They stood on the enemy's side and must bear the consequences."

Liu Yuan turned to look at Becotte: "Moreover, if we retreat now, they may take the opportunity to chase us. At that time, unnecessary casualties will be caused. Afterwards, the church will organize more armed forces to find trouble with us. Therefore, we must take this opportunity to eliminate them, at least the church members here cannot be left alive!"

On the battlefield, blood permeated the air, and the shouts of killing shook the sky. The Black Armor Army and the Giant Guard worked closely together, advancing step by step towards the interior of the Grand Cathedral. The resistance of the Order was also getting more and more stubborn. They used buildings and terrain for defense, causing some trouble for the Black Armor Army.

A burst of horses' hooves came, and the horse archers arrived. The road up the Visania hills was really unfriendly to cavalry. After they arrived, the leading officer observed the situation on the battlefield, picked up a strangely shaped arrow without saying a word, and drew his bow and shot it upwards.

The arrow made a sharp whistling sound, which was still clear even on the noisy battlefield.

Whistling arrow, also known as Singing Arrow, is a type of arrow that makes a sound when flying. The arrow fell into the crowd of the church above the steps with a sharp whistling sound. Those horse archers subconsciously nocked their arrows, aimed at the target, and shot a dense rain of arrows in that direction. These arrows covered the area, and a large number of fanatics who were not wearing armor were shot down to the ground!

Immediately afterwards, the horse archers quickly formed small teams, tacitly performing covering fire on the places where the battle was stuck. With the support of this powerful long-range firepower, the soldiers were even more powerful and could use various tactical means more flexibly. The warriors of the Setiga and Lake families gradually adapted to this fierce battle rhythm, cooperated closely with the Black Armor soldiers, and showed higher combat effectiveness.

Under this fierce offensive, the Order armed forces were defeated and had to withdraw from the Marble Square. They could only rely on the statues under the Father in Heaven's gate as cover, and resisted stubbornly. At this time, the steps and small square outside the Grand Cathedral were covered with dense corpses, and blood stained the bricks on the ground, which was shocking.

At this moment, a war horse stepped on the blood and filth on the ground and came to Liu Yuan's side. Sitting on the horse was a heroic officer. He looked serious and saluted Liu Yuan: "Reporting, Lord Lord, Commander Ladak sent me to report to you. According to your instructions, we have set up a blockade at the foot of the mountain, and no one is allowed to leave Visania hills. At present, many people have fled from the mountain, most of them are ordinary people, but there are also a few church people, all of whom have been detained. Previously, someone tried to instigate the people to break through the defense line, and we have executed them on the spot according to your instructions. Commander Muto is leading infantry troops to clear the surrounding buildings and arrest people hiding in the houses. In addition, Commander Ladak has also arranged two battalions of troops to monitor the dynamics of the Red Keep. Now Commander Ladak asked me to ask, does your lord need to send some troops to support you?"

Liu Yuan looked back at the Red Keep in the distance. With his eyesight, he could even clearly see Cersei and others on the White Sword Tower. The corners of his mouth raised slightly, revealing a contemptuous smile: "No need, the troops here are enough. You go back and tell Ladak to identify the people who have been intercepted. Except for the people of the Church of the Seven Gods, if it is found that there are no people carrying weapons, they can be released directly." In fact, it was not that he suddenly felt pity, but that those who dared to fight against the army had basically stayed in the square forever. And those who ran to the foot of the mountain were basically those who slipped away from the beginning. These people are not loyal to the church, so there is no need to kill them too much.

Then Liu Yuan reached out and pointed to the smoking houses below, and said, "Also, when you go back, please inform Muto not to set fire anymore. The houses here are too dense and easily cause a fire." Killing is killing, why set fire for nothing! Liu Yuan was very incomprehensible in his heart. He believed that his troops were so disciplined that such things would still happen.

The officer's face became very strange when he heard the words. He lowered his voice and explained: "Lord Lord, those fires were not set by us. In fact, they were set by the fleeing civilians and the owners of the houses themselves."

Hearing this answer, Liu Yuan couldn't help feeling embarrassed, and coughed a few times to cover up his embarrassment, and then said: "Ahem... hurry up and pass on my order and send people to organize fire fighting. If there are not enough people, let the civilians participate. Tell them that if they don't put out the fire, don't think about leaving."

"Yes, Your Excellency!" The cavalry officer responded respectfully. He obviously understood his mission and turned away without hesitation after receiving the order.

The horse archers have war horses, and they carry more arrows than foot archers. Under normal circumstances, each horse archer will be equipped with three arrow pots, with a total of 80 arrows. However, this also includes some special arrows. In actual combat, the use of these special arrows is often limited because their number is limited.
