First Battle of Thurnon

Military: Battle

Early in the morning in the Twenty-Third of March, as The King's Eye was seen to fall from the sky, word reached the House Foxworth forces stationed around the city of Thurnon of an Irogonian army approaching from the North. However, at the same time, the banner of The Kingsguard of Tyon I Cray was spotted on the road from the South.
ser Newall Foxworth elected to send the armeis under the command of ser Derrick Quay and ser Krann Engelbrecht to deal with the Irogonians, while remaining knights under his command awaited the arrival of the Kingsguard.
They chose a spot where the road approaching the city forded a small river, with a hill on the near side. They arrayed their forces along the riverbank, the skilled palanxes of House Engelbrecht of Horndreath holding the center, the various archers and crossbows flanking them, and the cavalry under ser Derrick riding up the Eastern side of the battlefield to outflank the approaching column.
The only commander to be injured in the battle was ser Giyana Chaseman but her Household Knights successfully withdrew her injured body from the field to be tended by a Barber-Surgeonne.
The hammer of the cavalry smashed the Irogonians against the anvil of the phalanxes scattering the remaining forces and preventing the reinforcement of the city.
