The walls rise sheer from the water, and from their towers the defenders have a commanding view of the opposite shores for many leagues around. To cut off all the approaches, a besieger must needs place one camp north of the Tumblestone, one south of the Red Fork, and a third between the rivers, west of the moat. There is no other way, none."

城墙自水中高高拔起,守军自塔楼上可以看清对岸数里格之内的所有事物。若要切断各方支援,攻城方必须在腾石河北岸、红又河南岸以及护城河西岸,亦即两条河之间,各放置一支军队。除此之外,别无他法。
Sir Kevan speaks truly, my lords, the courier said. "We'd built palisades of sharpened stakes around the camps, yet it was not enough, not with no warning and the rivers cutting us off from each other. They came down on the north camp first. No one was expecting an attack. Marq Piper had been raiding our supply trains, but he had no more than fifty men. Sir Jaime had gone out to deal with them the night before... well, with what we thought was them. We were told the Stark host was east of the Green Fork, marching south... "
“诸位大人,凯冯爵士说得没错,”信使说,“我军已在营地周围密布削尖木栅,但在没有任何预警,河水又把我们的营地互相切断的情况下,这样的准备远远不够。他们首先袭击北方的营地,时机完全出乎我们的意料。先前,马柯·派柏不断骚扰我军的补给车队,但他手下只有五六十人。遭受攻击的前一晚,詹姆爵士亲自带兵去对付他们……唉,当时我们以为目标就是派柏那伙人。我们听说史塔克军还在绿叉河东岸,正朝南而去……”
And your outriders? Sir Gregor Clegane's face might have been hewn from rock. The fire in the hearth gave a somber orange cast to his skin and put deep shadows in the hollows of his eyes. "They saw nothing? They gave you no warning?"
“你们的斥候呢?”格雷果·克里冈爵士的脸活像石雕,火光为他的皮肤罩上了一层阴森的橙色,在他的眼眶底投下深深的阴影。“莫非他们什么都没看到?没给你们任何警讯?”
The bloodstained messenger shook his head. "Our outriders had been vanishing. Marq Piper's work, we thought. The ones who did come back had seen nothing."
满身血污的信使摇摇头。“我们的侦察部队最近不断失踪,我们以为是马柯·派柏搞的鬼。而偶尔回来的人又说什么也没发现。”
