"After Tywin withdrew, it is estimated that he will attack Harrenhal." Robb said, "In this situation..."
"Robb, do you want to say that you can't send troops to support?" Catherine caught her son's meaning and frowned, "What about Arya? She's still in Harrenhal!"
"Mother! I'm not saying you can't support, but you can't send out the army immediately!" Robb was also a little embarrassed at this time, "There are so many casualties suddenly, many people have not reacted, now we must deal with the corpses and appease the morale of the army! "
"..."
Catherine didn't say anything after hearing the words, but turned around and left silently. Robb also seemed to have nothing to do, but frowned deeply, thinking about how to restore the decline, and how to explain the surprise attack to the generals later .
After all, unlike Tywin's army, most of the troops led by Tywin are private troops of the Lannister family, and only the patriarch Tywin is loyal.But Robb is different. In his army, there are not many private troops who are only loyal to Stark. More than half of them are soldiers from various vassals, and some are pure friendly troops, such as the Frey family. The hundreds of cavalry lent to Robb, although they are loyal to Stark, they are more loyal to their respective lords.
In this way, once there are heavy casualties, the vassals will definitely have opinions. If Robb does not handle it well, it is very likely to cause a split, and then the fragmented Northern Army will not be Lannister's opponent.
So although Robb also cared about his little sister, he had to deal with the soldiers first, and could only put his family's private affairs aside.

Without throwing off their armor and kneeling to beg for mercy, the Lannister soldiers suddenly discovered this when they rushed into Harrenhal.And at this moment, the people ambushing on the city wall got up one after another, each holding a drum in their hands, and poured the liquid in it towards the door without hesitation.
Puddles of black asphalt poured on the unprepared Lannister soldiers. The scorching heat caused them to scream and fall to the ground, rolling continuously.
"what!!!"
"Help! Help!"
"It hurts me! What is this?!"
At the same time, the soldiers who were ambushing in the room also rushed out together. The front row rushed to the crowd with shields and squatted down to block the shields in front, and then there were hundreds of soldiers holding spears behind them. The gap in the shield pokes out!
The half-dead soldiers who were already scalded by asphalt didn't care about defense at all. They frantically searched for water or rolled on the ground, and were stabbed to death one after another. This also caused the entire army to fall into an extreme panic .
"Damn it, it's been tricked!" Jimmy naturally knew at this moment that everything was fake, cursing people on the city wall, fleeing soldiers, all these were tricks to lure him to attack!
"My lord! The hundreds of soldiers in front have been splashed with asphalt, let's retreat!" The young general reported to Jimmy, whose handsome face had become distorted, "Retreat?!" He hoarsely said, "Retreat now we Hundreds of people will be lost! Waiting for Lord Tywin to come will kill me!"
"But…"
"But what?!" Jimmy yelled, with a frantic look on his face, "It must be shot down! Only the dead are meaningful! Squeeze away those who were splashed with asphalt, and let the people behind rush in and kill everyone! "
Jimmy had to fight at this time. If he retreated, he would lose so many soldiers in vain if he didn't take down the city. Once Tywin came, disobedience to the military order alone would be enough to cut off his head.But as long as it is successfully captured, and if Avi Crane, the most wanted criminal, can be captured, at least it can make up for it.
At this time, the gate of the city fell into a stalemate. All the Lannister soldiers who rushed in first were poured with asphalt, and the dead and wounded were all blocked at the gate, and the soldiers behind could not enter at all.
And even if a few were lucky enough to squeeze in, facing the round formation of shields and spears, there was basically only a dead end.And this is what Li Lingyi wants to see, he just wants to nibble away at these 3000 people step by step, and use the narrow city gates to encircle the points to fight for aid. What he wants is Jimmy's unwillingness to retreat!
Li Lingyi was also a member of the circle at this time, and he was standing directly facing the city gate.On the one hand, as the leader, he can personally stand in the most dangerous place to improve morale, on the other hand, he can also maintain stability and prevent the circle from being easily broken through.
As for the current situation, in Li Lingyi's view, the general on the opposite side is completely crazy. This kind of attack is completely a refueling tactic that is taboo for military strategists. The wounded soldiers are blocking the road and the narrowness of the city gate restricts them to rush over at one time. There are more than a dozen or twenty soldiers, and there is only a dead end for rushing to face the gun formation. If this continues, it will not take long for the three thousand army to be exhausted.
What the opponent should do now is to retreat immediately, so as to stop the loss to the maximum extent.But the other party didn't, but kept sprinting frantically, hoping to break through the gun formation and let more Lannister soldiers pour in.
Facing this kind of result, Li Lingyi is of course happy to see it, after all, he is the one who benefits.As for the opponent who is now a crazy gambler, he doesn't stop in time after losing, and he has to put all his capital up, hoping to win back all the losses.
is it possible?Of course not.
It is true that soldiers have the shortest life expectancy.It doesn't matter if you are a young teenager in your teens or a veteran in your 30s.But under the battlefield, once the general makes a wrong judgment, there is only one end of defeat.
Just like now, Jimmy gave the order to attack with red eyes, but the soldiers on the front line have already stopped. They are not fools, and the piles of corpses of their comrades in front have made them understand that the battle has been lost.
Is there such a thing as knowing that it is death but not turning back?Yes, very rarely.Unless there is no way to retreat in the face of family ruin, or the general's personal charm is too high, everyone is willing to die for him.But now it is obvious that neither of them can get it.
Originally, their lord would not let them attack Harrenhal, but now that the general is still attacking after being severely injured, the soldiers must be unhappy, and they retreated one after another, obviously not wanting to fight.
"My lord! The soldiers have lost their will to fight, and it will be too late if they don't withdraw!" The young generals tried to dissuade Jimmy. The complacent expressions on their faces before were gone now, and they all had bitter faces, and they didn't dare count themselves. How many men died.
"One, one, a bunch of trash!" Jimmy's face was pale and his lips were trembling. He also saw that he was defeated, and he was still defeated. Harrenhal could not be captured after so many people died, so what was waiting for him? ?
At this time, Li Ling in the city saw the enemy retreating, and immediately ordered the city gate to be lowered.It is impossible to chase after him. After all, he has taken advantage of it now, but once he chases out, he will lose the overwhelming advantage of the spear array, and it is too easy to be overthrown by Lannister on the plain.
But not chasing is not chasing, but continuing to kill is still necessary.As soon as the city gate was closed, Li Lingyi immediately ordered everyone to take up their bows and arrows and go up to the city wall, and started shooting randomly at the fleeing Lannister soldiers below.
Because they have not been trained, most of Li Lingyi's subordinates can't shoot accurately at all, but they can't stand the crowd!Both men, women and children took up bows and arrows and went up the city wall, and this was the easiest way to shoot from top to bottom, and there were always many hits under random arrows.
"Archers! Archers shoot them to death!" Jimmy yelled as he looked at the crowd on the city wall, but no one left him. All the soldiers were busy fleeing, completely losing their cohesion.
Seeing this, Jimmy also knew that the situation was over, his expression darkened, he glanced at the city wall with resentment, and shouted loudly: "Ivy Crane! I will definitely kill you in the future!!!"
The heart-piercing shout was so loud that it even overwhelmed the running of all the soldiers, which showed Jimmy's resentment.After shouting, he turned around and was about to leave when he suddenly heard a gust of wind from behind. Just as he turned his head, a spear pierced his neck, nailing him to the ground with a click!
"Ah... Ka..."
"My lord! My lord!"
Jimmy's eyes widened and he covered his neck with his hands, but within a few seconds he rolled his eyes and died.
Seeing this, all the city wall people immediately cheered. As for Li Lingyi, who threw the gun, he also smiled, "Hmph, your voice is loud enough, and I'm still worried that I won't be able to find you, the little leader."

Chapter 450
Remember ♂ in a second, update fast, read for free!
The defeat of the Lannister army undoubtedly gave a huge boost to the morale of the defenders of Harrenhal.That's Lannister!The richest and most powerful family was actually defeated by us?Although it was only a small part of the army, it was still defeated, and it was a big defeat!
At the end of the battle, the number of casualties was counted. There were probably nearly 100 casualties on Li Lingyi's side.And Lannister only left more than 700 corpses on the ground!Not to mention the other dead and injured outside the city, so that the total of 3000 people would be at least half of the casualties!
And in a sense, wounded soldiers are even more difficult to deal with than dead soldiers. Think about it, when a person dies, he dies.But if he is seriously injured and it is difficult to fight, forget it, and other people have to be assigned to take care of him. In this way, one wounded soldier drags down one or even two uninjured soldiers.So the [-] troops are basically useless, and morale is estimated to have dropped to freezing point.
"Hahaha! What a relief!" Soros stood on the city wall, looking at the defeated Lannister soldiers fleeing away, his face was full of uncontrollable joy, "I didn't expect that I could be so cheerful in my lifetime." Defeat a Lannister once!"
"Don't be too proud of Soros." Bailey was rather calm. "We have received news that Tywin's raid was successful, and Stark was severely injured. I'm afraid we won't be able to send troops to support us in a short time."
"Ha, I just said that kid Robb is unreliable!" Soros curled his lips, looked at Li Lingyi who was standing in the middle, and showed a smile, "It's not like our Lord Ivy, who made a little trick to kill Lannister These 3000 people ran away like wild dogs."
"Okay, you." Li Ling gave him a blank look, "Berry is right, it is estimated that Tywin's army is coming, and when he finds that his 3000 people have been beaten like this, he will definitely attack the city in a rage .If there is no support from Riverrun at that time..."
As he said that, Li Lingyi suddenly thought of something, "It's not necessarily true, we just severely injured these 3000 people," he said, looking at Bailey, "Berry, do you have any news about Tywin's army? Specific number of people?"
"There are probably more than 1 people." Bai Li said, "Most of the army led by Tywin, and the remaining half is in the hands of his son Kingslayer, who is still near the Golden Tooth City at this time, but... I am afraid if If they want to meet up, they can get together in a few days."
"..."
As soon as Li Ling remained silent, the Lannisters are indeed the most powerful family on the continent of Westeros in terms of military strength. They should be able to muster at most [-] to [-] troops. It can be said that only the Golden Regiment and Dothraki nomadic cavalry are on the other side of the Narrow Sea. Wait for the troops to match.
