Throne of Comics

"Yes, yes, my nephew was also forced to go."

"There are quite a few in our village. I heard that one of them has been made a knight. What a shame!"

The old people were chattering, but Li Lingyi's heart was agitated. If enough people were forcibly recruited, then maybe these old people would have the opportunity to play a huge role...

Chapter 438

. , the fastest update of the latest chapter of Zongman Throne!

A fight between two groups of people does not mean winning only by completely destroying each other. In fact, this is the lowest option, because the winner of completely destroying the opponent will also have to pay a small price, which is a lose-lose option.But the ancestors said in the art of war that the soldiers who surrender without fighting are the most advanced and powerful.

If possible, Li Lingyi naturally didn't want to fight too fiercely. After all, it was not easy to recruit some people. Besides, everyone was poor and their lives were already very difficult, so he didn't want to recruit them, so he just took care of them. The day's food is then paid for by people's lives on the battlefield.

Therefore, he was a little moved after hearing the old people's words at this time. If many soldiers in Harrenhal were farmers from the riverland at this time, then there might be a possibility of instigating rebellion!Once successful, not only can you avoid fierce battles, but on the other hand, you can have more new recruits for nothing.

Of course it won't be that easy, Li Ling thought. Since ancient times, most of the persuasion to surrender was successful only in one situation, and that was when the persuaded person realized that if he didn't surrender, he would die.It is easy to succeed when there is no other choice.If they are about to win and you want to persuade them to surrender, then they probably think you are crazy. Really, do you still think you are Uncle Liu Huang?

Keep this in mind, and then Li Lingyi quietly waited for the training. He actually wanted to go to Harrenhal to investigate, but he couldn't leave right now. After all, these civilians now have weapons. If any disagreement arises, without him as the leader to control the situation, it is very likely that the situation will get out of control.

Three days later, a sudden news disrupted Li Lingyi's plan.

Tywin Lannister is going to lead his army northward!

As soon as this news reached Li Lingyi's ears, he was a little startled. He didn't expect that Tai Wen would take action so quickly.It is conceivable that the destination of his army marching northward is Harrenhal, where he will make an outpost to deal with the northern army led by Robb.

With the speed of Tywin's army, it would take at most three days to arrive at Harrenhal, so Li Lingyi had no time to train at all, so he immediately gathered his people together and began to prepare the attack plan.

"Attack now?" Soros frowned. "These soldiers have no problem obeying the command now, but when it comes to fighting..."

"We don't have time." Li Ling sighed, "Do you think I'm thinking so fast? If we don't take Harrenhal within three days, we won't have any chance when Tywin's army arrives." .”

"Why don't we go and attack Casterly Rock City?" Bailey put forward a bold idea, "Tywin led the army to attack, the old den must be empty, if we..."

"No." Li Lingyi immediately shook his head and denied, "The journey from here to Casterly Rock City is too far away, and we will pass through several other family territories on the way. The 600 of us will definitely not be able to hide. When Tai Wen finds out, order If it is a pincer attack, I am afraid that it will end in a complete annihilation."

The two were silent after hearing the words. It is true that it is impossible to make a long-distance raid. There are many old people and children in their team, and it is too easy to be discovered. Once discovered, they may not be able to reach Casterly Rock before being wiped out. up.

"Then do we have to capture the city?" Soros asked, with a hesitant expression, "Ivy, have you ever thought that even if we capture it, once the Tywin army arrives, if they choose to attack the city..."

"No." Li Ling smiled when he heard the words, "In a place like Harrenhal, a few hundred people can defend against an attack of thousands of people. Besides, his enemies are not just us." He pointed Pointing to the north, "Young Wolf Lord is still guarding Riverrun. Think about it, if Tywin chooses to attack the city, will Robb just ignore such a good opportunity to attack?"

"You mean, we want to unite with Robb Stark?" Bailey's eyes lit up, this is indeed a good idea.

"You don't need to unite, he will attack." Li Lingyi said, "After all, our enemy is the same. Besides, if Robb can severely damage Tywin's army here, then the royal family will almost be over."

Bailey and Soros nodded when they heard the words. The royal family is indeed weak now. The so-called gold robes of the so-called royal city guards are only a few thousand, but the enemies they face are tens of thousands, whether it is the two brothers Baratheon or Robb. They all want Joffrey's life. If there is no Tywin's tens of thousands of troops, then there is really no chance.

Therefore, under such circumstances, Tywin did not dare to act rashly. If Harrenhal was captured before he arrived, it would not be so easy for him to regain it.

No more talking, the two started to organize the crowd, and Li Lingyi also sorted out the elderly, women and children. In fact, he had a certain plan for the siege in his heart these few days, and he and Belisoros also discussed it. After a while, a set of plans was decided, and this set of plans can only be used at night.

The sky gradually dimmed, and when it was approaching midnight, everyone started to act.This operation did not start with all the members, except for about [-] young and middle-aged men, there were about [-] women. As for the remaining children and old people, they stayed in the cave and waited for the victory to bring them into the castle.

Of course, there is also the possibility of failure, and it is possible that these people will not be able to wait for them to come back, but Li Lingyi is sure that they can win.This is not blind self-confidence, but an objective judgment made after analyzing the enemy and the enemy.

At this time, about three hundred people were wearing the black robes made by the women in the past few days, and their whole bodies including armor were wrapped in it, completely blending with the night, like a group of moving black ghosts, they came to Harrenhal in silence Below, lying on a hillside and lurking.

"When I send out the signal, you lead people to rush in." Li Lingyi whispered to Bailey and Soros. He just got up but was held down by the shoulder, "Are you sure you want to go by yourself?" Bailey said, " Otherwise, let me go, I have an immortal body."

"Don't, I'm afraid you'll run out of times." Li Lingyi smiled and said, "Don't worry, I've sneaked in there so many times, it's as easy as going home."

"...Okay, be careful!"

Breaking away from the main force, Li Lingyi carried a small black bag on his back and easily arrived at the castle wall according to the previous route. The previous week's sneaking allowed him to fully understand the patrol rules here, so he naturally entered without hindrance. in the fortress.

After entering, his first stop was the prisoner area under the Wailing Tower. There were only two guards here at night. Li Lingyi easily knocked them out, then jumped into the cowshed, raised his hand towards The faces of the sleeping prisoners were gently slapped.

"Well…"

Several prisoners woke up in a daze. They were startled when they saw Li Lingyi, but none of them dared to scream out. After learning the lesson, no matter what you see, you will never make a sound.

The prisoners who woke up watched Li Ling wake up the rest of them one by one. They all looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing who this person was or what they were doing in the middle of the night.

"I'm here to save you."

Seeing that everyone had woken up, Li Ling lowered his voice and uttered a heavyweight sentence to set the tone.

save us? !

Everyone was startled when they heard the words, their faces showed surprise at first, and then they all looked at Li Lingyi suspiciously, this is in Harrenhal, how can we save him?Just rely on him alone?

"How do you save us?" A prisoner couldn't help asking, obviously eager to escape here.

"A large army is already ambushing outside the city." Li Lingyi said, "As long as you cooperate with me and we open the city gate from the inside and let the army enter the city, then Harrenhal will be ours!"

"Army?!"

"This, it seems that you have never heard of this?"

"Didn't you say that Duke Tywin is coming? You are..."

Everyone was very surprised. After all, if there was a large army pressing down on the border, it would be impossible for the defenders of Harrenhal to be so calm. They had already forced them and the prisoners to take up arms and stand in front. How could they tolerate them sleeping here? Great sleep.

"I'm not from Lannister." Li Lingyi said, "We are marching secretly, and the Harrenhal defenders haven't found us yet. As long as you cooperate with me, we are sure to take Harrenhal. Of course, if you If I don’t want to, I won’t force it. But you can think about how these defenders treat you, are you willing to be tortured to death like this?”

"..."

After a moment of silence, everyone looked at each other, and a strong man spoke first, "I'll cooperate with you! Damn, you're dead anyway. If you fail, I'll die in battle than be tortured to death by a notepad someday!"

"Me too!" As soon as they heard the word "notepad", the other people immediately showed anger and said, "That's right, I guess it might be my turn to be tortured tomorrow, I can't wait!" , "Take me one! Even if I die, I will drag a few backs!"

"What's the noise over there?!"

The prisoner's voice was a little loud, which caught the attention of a passing soldier. He couldn't see clearly in the dark, so he scolded and walked over.

Immediately, all the prisoners showed panic expressions, but Li Lingyi signaled them not to worry, and jumped up suddenly when the soldier approached. .

Putting it back into the cowshed, Li Lingyi unwrapped the back and opened it, revealing strips of red cloth. Everyone who watched was puzzled.

"This is a mark, each of you takes one and tie it around your own neck." Li Lingyi said, "When our army enters the city later, we can't see your face clearly in the dark environment, but they see you wearing this Cloth strips won't hurt you, and they will wear them too. So as long as you don't wear them, you are our enemy, understand?"

"understand!"
