Battle An unarmed Captain America (MCU) replaces Robb Stark at the Red Wedding - can he fight his way out?

Cap doesn't have his shield or suit, and he doesn't know that the betrayal is coming. The Freys are not aware of his upgraded abilities.

Can Cap fight his way out? Bonus points if he can keep Catelyn and Robb's wife safe. Double bonus points if he can kill Walder Frey and Roose Bolton.

Yes he could survive, easily I think, but I don’t think he’s saving anyone

There are like 7-8k Freys and Boltons at the Red Wedding, I think - many of them armed with crossbows. Surely someone stands a decent chance of tagging him and at least slowing him down?

He managed to escape SHIELD headquarters while completely surrounded by hydra agents in Winter Soldier. The entire building was on high alert to capture him and had access to the best equipment in the setting, including aircraft, and they failed to capture or even harm him.

Sure, he had his shield at the time but I think dealing with arrows and swords will be a lot easier.

The guy can outrun a car.

It would be pretty trivial for him to sprint away faster than the order can be given to fire crossbows at the super soldier running from the castle

His biggest issue is being trapped in the initial room, where the "kill box" is. If he can escape that he's fine

Like the prison scene in Watchman, Steve Rogers is not trapped in a room with the soldiers, the soldiers are trapped in a room with Steve Rogers.
