In fact, Li Ling explained to everyone the strong relationship early in the morning. Everyone has the blood of the Lannister family on their hands, and there are only three endings.One was to surrender and then be tortured to death.The second is to die on the battlefield.The third is to defeat Lannister without dying.

There are three options, no matter how stupid people are, they will know that the first option is the stupidest, so naturally no one will choose it.Of course, there are also people with not very pure goals mixed in the team, and this time they seized the opportunity to boo.

"I think we should surrender?" A young man whispered to the people next to him: "What Lannister wants most is Avi Crane, why should we die with him?"

As soon as the words came out, several people around looked at the young man with strange eyes, one of them sneered in his heart, and asked calmly, "What do you say?"

"Think about it!" The young man became excited when he saw someone interested, "Tywin Lannister's tens of thousands of troops are just outside the city, and we will die if they come in by then? Maybe Ai Vy Crane will take the opportunity to escape."

"If you want me to say, we might as well surrender and open the city gate. Lannister will definitely let us go, so at least we can save our lives."

After the young man finished speaking, he realized that there was a trace of hostility in the eyes of several people around him, especially the person who had taken the initiative to ask the question before laughed, and suddenly punched the young man to the ground!

"Catch this Lannister spy!"

Whoa!

Several people around immediately pushed the young man to the ground, but he was still struggling and shouted, "I'm not a spy! I'm not!"

"Hmph, Mr. Ivy has already drawn our attention. What kind of a person like you is not a spy?" The speaker said coldly, "Put it in the dungeon!"

People were dragged away, and the same situation happened seven or eight times in just a few minutes.Li Ling thought of this early on, so he selected dozens of trustworthy people in the army, and secretly made them supervisors.As long as you find someone saying something that shakes the morale of the army, you will be arrested as a spy of the Lannister family and put in a dungeon!

Were any spies among those dragged away?have.But aren't they all spies?uncertain.

It's just that now Li Lingyi doesn't have time to distinguish, as long as it shakes the morale of the army, it will be treated as a spy.This is undoubtedly the most efficient way to deal with it in wartime.

Outside the city at this time, Tywin frowned slightly looking at the silent Harrenhal. Obviously, his persuasion to surrender had no effect, otherwise there should at least be some riots in the city now.

"My lord, the ladders are all ready."

His generals came to report, and Tywin nodded. He looked around Harrenhal. As the largest castle on the mainland, its uneven terrain made it very difficult to use ladders.

However, the narrowness of the city gate does not allow the army to attack by force. Now the huge stone gate is closed. According to Tai Wen's guess, the city may have been reinforced, or something is placed inside to resist it. Even with a giant crossbow, it may not be able to penetrate. In this case, the city can only be forcibly attacked.

In fact, Tywin really wanted Li Lingyi to repeat his old trick, that is, to open the city gate to lure the enemy troops in and annihilate them in one fell swoop.That's right, Tywin really wanted to do it again, he had the confidence.He was also thinking that if he had led the troops instead of Jimmy, he might have captured Harrenhal with 3000 men.

Of course, this is impossible. As soon as Li Ling knew that his opponent was Tai Wen, he didn't want to use any tricks at all.Facing this strongest military strategist, he planned to emulate Sima Yi.

I know I can't beat you Tai Zhuge head-on, but I stayed in the city. Although your army is mighty, my Harrenhal is impenetrable.Your army of Rootless Grass consumes a huge amount of food every day. If it takes too long, the army will be defeated.

Therefore, Li Lingyi will never take the initiative to attack, nor will he think of any strategy to defeat Tai Wen. He does not take risks, but relies on a procrastination tactic.

Tai Wen naturally understood this, so while scolding Li Lingyi in his heart, he couldn't help feeling deeply that this son would not get rid of endless troubles.A 17-year-old child not only won the championship of the martial arts tournament, but also gathered a group of people in a short period of time. Letting go will definitely pose a huge threat to Lannister, so we must kill him while he is still fledgling. .

With this in mind, Tai Wen no longer hesitated, and ordered to attack.

Shocking shouts sounded, and tens of thousands of troops rushed forward. Tywin used a circular formation, with shield soldiers protecting the outermost circle. The next circle was archers, and the third was soldiers carrying ladders. The soldiers and swordsmen were all placed behind.

There should be no way to fight hand-to-hand in a short period of time. Tywin understands this, and also knows that he may lose at least two or three thousand soldiers if he attacks by force, but this is also impossible.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

A series of ladders continued to be built on the city wall, and some of them fell down without even being kicked down by Li Lingyi's soldiers, because the terrain below was not flat, and the ladders couldn't stand at all.

But after finally finding a flat one, as soon as the ladder was built, a pot of asphalt or gold juice was poured from it, not on people, but on the ladder.As a result, the ladder became extremely hot, and no one dared to touch it, and the palm of the hand would be burned immediately. This caused the first wave of dozens of ladders to have no one successfully climbed the city wall.

Seeing this, Tai Wen was also very angry. While ordering to continue to attack, he asked the archers to shoot a volley to suppress the enemy on the city wall.It's just that rounds of arrow rain passed by, but the enemy was almost completely blocked by the big iron shield.

And the only thing that can cause effective damage is the giant crossbow. The iron spear it fires is so powerful that the iron shield can't stop it at all, and it can be pierced through with a single thrust, otherwise it will directly hit everyone holding the shield with great force. fly out.

It's just that there was only one giant crossbow, and the damage it caused was limited, but when one fell on the city wall, two immediately filled it up, and even if one person died on the city wall, ten people would die below!The comparison of casualties opened up a huge gap almost from the beginning of the storm.

So after 10 minutes of the storm, Tai Wen ordered the attack to stop, the army retreated a little bit, and counted the number of casualties, and the number almost made Tai Wen's angry sword cut off the person who reported it.

"How many casualties?"

While helping the wounded soldiers, Li Lingyi looked at Soros next to him. The latter wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "More than 300! Most of them were shielded by the steel guns shot by the giant crossbow." Pierce it to death!" There was a wry smile on his lips, "Ivy, this giant crossbow is really powerful, we can't stop it at all."

"More than 300, more than 300." Li Lingyi muttered and bowed to place the wounded soldier on the straw blanket, and a few women next to him came over with gauze, "Master Aiwei, he will be handed over to us."

"it is good."

Li Ling nodded. During this period of time, many of his women were learning medical skills from Gavin Alcott. Of course, it is impossible to learn medical skills in a short period of time, but he has mastered some simple bandages, which can be used now. Taking care of the wounded soldiers can be regarded as a great contribution.

"Fortunately, Tywin stopped, otherwise, in less than an hour, our people would have finished fighting one-third." Soros said at this time, his face was ugly, "These Lannisters are really desperate."

"It doesn't matter, their damage is several times that of ours." Li Ling wiped his bloody face and ordered: "While Tai Wen retreats temporarily, you go to the soldiers to rest first, but the armor bow cannot leave your hand. Tell them, Hold on a little longer and reinforcements will arrive!"

Soros hesitated when he heard the words, as if he wanted to ask something, but he nodded and strode towards the city wall.

Robb, Robb, it's time for your reinforcements to arrive.

Li Ling turned his head and looked in the direction of Riverrun City. If Robb had sent troops since receiving the letter crow, the army should have arrived by now.But now it seems that it is possible to wait a little longer, or it may not send troops at all.

The former is the best, Li Ling thought, if there is no reinforcements, maybe he can defend, but the price is that the [-] soldiers who managed to get together are annihilated.This is not what he wants to see, but it can only be so if there is no way out.

Outside the city, Tai Wen stood tall and straight, his eyes revealing the light of thought.

In just 10 minutes, he lost more than 2000 people, which is already one-sixth of the army.It's really heartbreaking.If this is a confrontation between the two armies on the plain, his 2000 people can destroy [-] or even [-] ordinary troops!

But now most of them are not killed by swords or guns, but are scalded to death by asphalt and gold juice, or are pushed to death by falling from mid-air on the ladder.Or he survived the fall, but was trampled to death by his own people.In short, it was a mess, and the dead were quite useless.

After such a battle, the morale of the Lannister army was also quite frustrated.I thought it would be easy to take down the castle guarded by a group of refugees, but now that so many brothers have died, that confidence is not so sufficient.

It was precisely this that Tywin saw and ordered the army to retreat temporarily.And it wasn't just a matter of morale, he never doubted that Harrenhal would not be captured, he was just weighing the pros and cons.Is it worth it to exchange the lives of half of the elite Lannister soldiers for a Harrenhal?

Tywin hesitated, but at this time another soldier came in urgently with a letter crow and handed the note to Tywin. The latter opened it, and his wrists trembled three times in shock.

"My lord! Let's fight again!"

At this time, the generals under his command came over one after another in armor and blood, asking for another fight, "We will definitely be able to fight! Avenge the dead brother!"

"That's right! Revenge!"

"My lord, I think the defenders are exhausted! As long as we attack again, we will definitely be able to capture Harrenhal, and..."

"All right!"

Tywin interrupted in a deep voice, "There's no time to manage Harrenhal now! King's Landing... is in critical condition!"

"King's Landing?!" Several generals were shocked when they heard the words, and Tywin continued: "Stannis Baratheon has led an army of tens of thousands to the city of King's Landing, and those golden robes can't hold back for long!"
