Everyone also stood up one after another, waving their arms and shouting loudly. Everyone's expression was extremely excited and firm. This is the power of faith.

If a person believes that what he is doing is correct and just, no matter what difficulties and obstacles he encounters, he will not give up easily.This is similar to revenge. If a person hurts you, then you will not hesitate or waver when you take revenge on him, because this is justice!And justice gives people infinite power!

Chapter 434 Situation

After that, the action will officially start. Ω Δ Kanshu Pavilion. ΩkanΩshuge. la

There are currently 64 members in the Brotherhood Without Banners. Li Lingyi divided it into sixteen teams, each with four members, and each team distributed a hundred golden dragons, and asked them to start recruiting separately in Hejian. The temptation of the golden dragon, I believe many poor mercenaries will join.

Moreover, Li Ling didn't have any requirements for the recruits, no matter men, women, old or young, as long as they could still move, they would welcome them.Unlike those armies that only recruit young and middle-aged men, Li Lingyi, as a modern person, understands that family cohesion is the greatest.

If the family is together, the young and middle-aged will fight harder to protect other family members, and although some old people cannot fight, their influence and experience are not comparable to young people, let alone in a certain In this case, the elderly can even influence the situation of the battle more than the young and middle-aged.

As for the possible presence of spies or people with bad intentions, this was unavoidable in the early stage of large-scale recruitment, but Li Lingyi was also sure that he could find such people, so he didn't worry too much.

The time for the operation is one week. After one week, everyone will meet at the Kneeling Inn. As for Li Lingyi, he will not participate in the recruitment operation. He is going to sneak into Harrenhal to check the enemy's situation first. Are there any loopholes so that he can go smoothly when he captures the city in the future.

As for recruiting, Li Lingyi thinks that each team can bring back at least seven or eight people, so that there will be a total of almost 200 people in total. After another round, maybe it can be doubled again. A scale of four to 500 people is almost the limit.

After all, [-] golden dragons may seem like a lot, but in fact, more people are not enough.After all, it is not enough to just let them have enough food, but also to buy a complete set of armor and weapons, which is also a very large expense, much more expensive than having enough food.

Moreover, Li Lingyi also wanted to recruit some special talents, such as bachelors and doctors. Without them, the power would not last long.Because most poor mercenaries are illiterate at all, it is okay to fight in the short term, but they must not be so short-sighted. In the long run, they must make preparations early.

Just thinking about it, now Li Lingyi has no idea, most of these political talents are in King's Landing, and it is impossible for him to get it in the short term, so he can only take it step by step.

The members who had gathered together all day dispersed into small groups to act. Although their strength was weakened a lot, their camouflage was also improved. The members of each group put on tattered old cloth clothes outside their armor, which looked like Like a few poor mercenaries, they couldn't attract anyone's attention at all.

But once they were discovered, those people would undoubtedly be very dangerous, so this matter also had a lot of risks. Bailey also asked Li Lingyi, but the latter still insisted on doing it.This period of time can be said to be the most precious. Tywin's army is busy destroying the northern army, and the treasury of King's Landing is empty and cannot afford to arm more troops. The remaining ones dare not move at all, for fear of Stannis Baratheon The two brothers, Renly Baratheon and Renly Baratheon, were at the gates of the city. After all, compared with Joffrey, the two of them were more legitimate for inheriting the throne.

The Eagle's Nest City shuts its doors. A woman pretending to be crazy and her son watch others play bungee jumping all day long. The pirates of the Iron Islands are thinking about how to take advantage of the emptiness of the Northern Territory to take advantage of the emptiness of the game, in order to avenge Ed's defeat of them.The Tyrell family, that is, Little Rose, the Queen of Thorns, was busy marrying Renly, but sadly discovered that the latter was gay.

It can be said that all the big families have participated in this rebellion of the five kings, and the scene is also very chaotic.Only in chaos is it easy to produce heroes, and it is easier to fish in troubled waters, so Li Lingyi has to hurry up, otherwise once the war is over and everyone is relieved, then he, a little mercenary, wants to make troubles. I can't move anymore.

In the end, everyone was told to be careful, and then they officially started to move in batches. Li Lingyi also set foot on the steps to Harrenhal alone.

Along the way, you can see a lot of skinny civilians lying dead in the wilderness, the land is dry and cracked, and scattered mercenaries are constantly passing by. They basically ignore Li Lingyi. After all, the latter is also disguised at this time, wearing tattered clothes With a black coat and a cheap iron helmet on his head, he is no different from any down-and-out mercenary.

Of course, there were also some who didn't have a good eye and wanted to squeeze some oil from him, but in the end they were robbed of the only coins left on him, and some even lost their lives.

It took an afternoon, and the magnificent construction technology of Harrenhal was immediately displayed in front of Li Lingyi.

The first thing that came in was the tall towers in the city that pierced the sky. No matter what name the black-hearted Harun had given his towers, it had been obliterated by time.They are now known respectively as the Tower of Terror, the Tower of the Widow, the Tower of the Wailing, the Tower of the Ghost, and the Tower of the Burning Kings.

As the largest castle, the defensive work is naturally good, especially now that it is considered a front-line city, and it is only a day's journey away from Riverrun City where Robb Stark is located. The soldiers approached the city.This is also the reason why Tywin brought troops here later, just to destroy Robb's army near here.

But it should be too early now, the real world is not like in movies and TV dramas that want wars to happen every day, in fact, in reality, many people have to be very cautious every time they fight, because it is very likely that one battle can determine the outcome of the entire war After all, the total number of soldiers of each other is very small. This is not like the ancient Three Kingdoms period in China. At that time, hundreds of thousands or even tens of thousands of people fought at every turn because of the large number of people.But in the world of power, there are not so many people in Westeros, tens of thousands of people is already a great army!As for hundreds of thousands, I dare not think about it, unless all the families in the entire continent are added together, and the group of Unsullied or Dothraki on the other side of the narrow sea can be counted.

Because of the guard against Robb, the entire castle is now under martial law. There are heavily armed soldiers around the gate. Ordinary people must be interrogated if they want to go in. Naturally, it is impossible for Li Lingyi to go through the main gate. After all, the " There are too many "prohibited" items, and many people can recognize his face.

After carefully observing the terrain, Li Lingyi searched for a long time and managed to find an infiltration route, then quietly hid under the hillside, quietly waiting for the sky to darken, he was not willing to take risks easily without the cover of night.

Chapter 435 Number of people

"Karen and the others haven't come back? It's been a day."

"Who knows, maybe they went somewhere to have fun again, haha, I heard that a new brothel has opened in Hongfen City, do you think they went there?"

Harrenhal at night looked a bit gloomy, and the two soldiers on guard on the city wall were chatting boredly. They also came from the Clegane family and were sent by Tywin to garrison Harrenhal a few days ago.

"I don't know if they can catch that bastard Aiwei. After all, he is still the champion of the martial arts competition. We... the patriarch was also killed by him." The soldier wearing the helmet said with lingering fear, "Karen and the others only have dozens of people , just in case..."

"Don't worry." The other said casually: "At least there are dozens of people. No matter how good that guy is, can he beat dozens of people? And... huh?"

"what happened?"

"It's nothing, I was wrong." He rubbed his eyes.

so close…

As soon as Li Ling hid behind the wall, his heartbeat sped up slightly. This Harrenhal was indeed very difficult to sneak into. Just now he chose the darkest place to climb up, but he was still almost discovered.After all, even if his physical fitness is very strong, when all his skills are sealed and his attributes are reduced by one-third, no matter how fast he is, he will not be able to catch it with the naked eye.

Climbing into the city wall, he, dressed in black, quietly looked at the situation inside the castle. Under the huge vault of the Wailing Tower is the prison area. You can see many people in tattered clothes crowded inside. Because there is not much space, people Can't even turn over.

These people are basically some unruly mercenaries, or some Hejian villagers, or the defeated army in the north.As for the original trio, Arya was sent back to Riverrun by Li Lingyi, Gendry was there, and Hot Pie followed Yoren to the Wall.As for Jia Kun, who believes in the God of Thousand Faces, he disappeared after the last time, and because of Li Lingyi's intervention, there was no relationship with Arya.

At this time, these prisoners were sleeping in the open-air cowshed, and there was nothing waiting for them except torture. In the original plot, the value of these people's labor began to be brought into play after Tywin arrived, and they were allowed to do the work they were good at.But now Li Lingyi has some ideas. There is no doubt that these prisoners hate the soldiers in the castle. If there is a suitable opportunity, they might as well let them cooperate with him and take the fort together.

Of course, after thinking about it, Li Lingyi still needs to think about the specific details, and the purpose of his infiltration today is not to contact the prisoners, but to explore the terrain.

As the largest castle in the Seven Kingdoms, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The tall city wall forms an irregular circle. It is very difficult to climb, but the main entrance is very small. It is not easy for a large army to rush in. .It can be said that as long as there are hundreds or even dozens of people, it is possible to block the attack of thousands of people!This is why there are not many defenders in Harrenhal.

It took more than three hours for Li Lingyi to search almost the entire castle. Of course, he still dare not enter the inner rooms, but at least he has recorded important combat information such as the armory, soldiers' residences, distances, etc. In my mind, once I use this information in the future, I will get twice the result with half the effort.After collecting these, he left the city before the light came on.

Then continue to investigate the next day. After all, there may be different patrol systems in the castle. He needs to figure out how to patrol every night, find the weakest time, and then launch an attack at that time in the future.

A week passed quietly, and Li Lingyi had collected all the information he wanted, and then went to the Inn of the Knees according to the meeting and time mentioned at the beginning.And after he arrived, he was shocked to see the huge crowd.

"Here we come!" Bailey and Soros walked quickly, their expressions hard to hide their excitement, "We counted the number of people before you came, guess how many there are?!"

"...Three hundred?" Li Lingyi said a number.

"Turn it over!" Soros excitedly said.

"600 people?!" Li Lingyi was surprised. Although there were many people in front of him, they were not that many, right?

"This is only part of it." Bailey said, "I was afraid that it would be too conspicuous if they gathered together, so I sent four hundred people to the cave."

"Very good, very good..." Li Ling nodded as soon as he heard the words. Bailey's decision is still very necessary. If 600 people really gather here, it may arouse the vigilance of the surrounding cities, and the loss outweighs the gain. .

But this is also because Li Lingyi never expected to recruit so many people at one time, and he initially thought that 200 people would be considered good.But now it seems that he still underestimated the population and the number of people who cannot afford to eat.

"Let's go, take people back to the cave first." Li Lingyi felt dizzy, "With so many people, the food we stored before may only last for a few days, so we must quickly buy another batch, as well as weapons and armor. , also need to buy in bulk.”

"Leave this matter to me." Bailey said with a smile, "At any rate, I used to be an earl, and there are still some channels for this. Of course, the premise is that Lord Ivy is willing to trust me with a large number of golden dragons. "

"Does it need to be said?" Li Ling said with a smile: "Okay, I will leave this matter to you. I will give you [-] golden dragons. How much can you buy?"

"According to the current soaring prices, if each person has a set of armor and a long sword, [-] sets will cost at least [-] gold dragons, and if the remaining [-] are only exchanged for food, it should be enough for us to eat three of the month."

"Too much." Li Ling shook his head. Even if he bought three months' worth of food, he would have no place to put it. Only after capturing the city could he consider storing large quantities of food, otherwise it would be extremely troublesome to carry and transport.

"It's enough to buy enough food for a month." Li Lingyi thought for a while and said, "The rest of the money can be used to buy good medicines, and then buy some carriages and pure black cloth products."

"Okay." Bailey nodded.

"Haha! If we recruit another batch, maybe we can break through a thousand people, and then we might have a chance to capture Harrenhal!" Soros excitedly geared up, but then shook his head, "But even if we win, I'm afraid There are not many of these people left alive..."
