"Don't worry about that." Tywin decided, "Harrenhal is the most important thing. Robb has no troops to stay in the Twins City. As long as we want to take it, it will only be a matter of a few days. Now The most important thing is to destroy the Bannerless family, as long as this name exists, the honor of our family will be humiliated for a day."

"……I understand."

……

Time passed day by day, and a week had passed in a blink of an eye.

Because the original intention of the No-Banner Family is to be a family for all, the common people have a stronger sense of belonging, and they all work with high morale. They completed the half-month work originally planned by Bailey in seven days.

Looking around, nearly one-third of the buildings in Harrenhal had been demolished and replaced with some military buildings, and only seven or eight more arrow towers had been added.Each one is inlaid with the iron shield developed by Li Lingyi before, embedded in the wood, which can completely resist the arrows coming from the front.

And ever since Tywin attacked the city last time, Li Lingyi realized the technological gap between himself and the enemy.

That's right, it was about the giant ballista. Li Lingyi was really frightened at that time. If there were not one, but two, three or four, then the castle would have been breached.

This is the power of technological suppression, so Li Lingyi also found a group of generals to discuss the countermeasures some time ago. It is conceivable that the next time the Lannisters attack with a large army, they will definitely prepare a lot of giant crossbows. At that time, relying on shields will not be enough. Can't defend against it.

Regarding this problem, Soros put forward a suggestion, that is to learn from the barbarian's skills to control the barbarian.Since the giant crossbow is powerful, it's fine if you can't do it yourself.

Of course, it’s easier said than done, but it’s impossible for carpenters and blacksmiths to produce this level of craftsmanship. Craftsmanship is one aspect, and drawings are another aspect. Without blueprints, you can’t make it.

However, Soros is also smart. He made many friends and had some contacts when he traveled to the mainland in his early years, so he made people start to scout around.On the other hand, Li Lingyi gathered some carpenters and started making catapults according to his own memory.

After all, he had been in the Dynasty Warriors world for more than half a year, and he knew something about the equipment in that world, so he also remembered some details about the catapult, although not many, but he still remembered most of them.Coupled with the trial and error of the carpenters, it was finally developed.

Up to now, there are a total of five catapults in the city, all of which are kept in the inner castle in strict secrecy, and only a few senior generals know about them.This is considered a hole card, so that when Lannister attacks in the future, he can counterattack.

As for other aspects, the city wall has also been reinforced on a large scale, and the city gate has been thickened by two more layers. Even if it is hit hard by a city scooter, it will definitely not be broken without hitting it dozens or hundreds of times.This level is almost enough. If it can still be broken through, it means that the guards are basically dead, and it doesn't make sense if the city gate can't be opened.

However, it is worth mentioning that almost all of the thousand soldiers of the Frey family have sincerely joined the Wuqi family, and as for some stubborn ones, they have all been dealt with.Originally, there was not much food, and Li Lingyi had no idea of ​​raising prisoners.

So up to now, there are almost 1 defenders in the city, 80.00% of whom are civilians, and their combat effectiveness is worrying, but it is still possible to defend the city.The rest is the Bannerless Army, which has been expanded to 2000 people. It is an army that can be pulled to the plains for a little fight. After all, it is necessary to go out of the city, and Li Lingyi is also thinking about whether to find a way to take the initiative to attack.

Chapter 465 Timing

Remember ♂ in a second, update fast, read for free!

As time went by, Harrenhal became more and more influential in the riverlands, and many villagers moved to the city, because the protection of the Bannerless Army could protect them from robbers and thieves, and the taxes that the city needed to pay Also very little, and can be offset with grain.

The training in the city became more and more intensive. Besides, Li Lingyi also sent alliance applications to all the families.He didn't ask for anything in return, he just cast a net to catch fish, and it didn't matter if he couldn't catch it.

But to his surprise, Stannis actually sent him a letter, saying that he wanted to form an alliance to deal with Lannister together.

Li Lingyi didn't know how to evaluate Stannis. In fact, as a member of the Baratheon family, he should inherit the throne and sit on the Iron Throne.And he is indeed a good monarch, which can be seen from Jon asking for help later.

At that time, the wildlings and ghosts outside the Great Wall were troublesome, and only Stannis in the entire continent really took Jon's request for help seriously, leading an army to support him.As for the other families, ignore it completely, as Jon is making up.

Such a man, if there is no Lannister to make trouble, should indeed sit on the Iron Throne.In fact, he almost sat on it, but he can't blame others. It was also because he let the Scarlet Witch kill Renly with magic, causing his army to split, and some of them defected to Lannister.

Then Tywin took these princes back to King's Landing and defeated Stannis, which is a kind of retribution.And after this defeat, Stannis was seriously injured, and he didn't have the confidence and capital to fight again in the short term.

However, the sudden appearance of Li Lingyi ignited the flames in his heart again. Among other things, not many families on the road can do it just because they are not afraid of Lannister.

So Stannis also wanted to win over one or two, and what he said in the letter was nothing more than saying that I am the orthodox royal family, Joffrey is a product of corruption, and we need to join forces to defeat Lannister and regain the Iron Throne.

For this ally, Li Lingyi did not refuse, and replied a letter of willingness to form an alliance. The next step is to see how Lannister will deal with it. After all, the reply in the letter is only willing to form an alliance, but he does not want to respect him as a king. the meaning of.

But if Stannis really doesn't care about small things, he will definitely agree to an alliance.Because the geographical location of the two is really good.

From the map, if Harrenhal occupied by Li Lingyi is in a straight line with Storm's End of the Stannis family, King's Landing will be right in the middle of this line.

This also means that the two can attack King's Landing from front to back. Once King's Landing sends troops to attack Harrenhal, Stannis can attack from behind.And vice versa, no matter who you fight in King's Landing, you have to beware of the other party's surprise attack.

Therefore, it is still necessary to make this ally. Li Lingyi thought that if Stannis agreed, he could send troops to attack King's Landing when Lannis was fighting for Harrenhal.It is difficult to take it down, but it is still possible to frighten them. This will also make Lannister's soldiers on the front line frightened, and their combat effectiveness will definitely drop.

As for the other families, they basically drew a clear line with Harrenhal at this time, and what surprised Li Lingyi the most was that even the Eagle's Nest City declared itself an enemy of the Bannerless Family.

What is the Eagle's Nest?Natural danger, built on top of the mountains that tower over the Bright Moon, spanning the Giant's Lance, the valley sits thousands of feet below.

It is the smallest of all the major castles, consisting only of a tightly connected cluster of seven slender white towers, and can only accommodate a maximum of 500 people.

The castle is built of ornate white stone.The towers surrounded a garden that was supposed to be a godswood, but the soil was too thin for weirwoods to take root here, which made the Eyrie unique.Barracks and stables are built directly into the hill

This is a city that is recognized as easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it can almost be said to be invincible.And its owner is the Ayrin family.It's just that it is actually controlled by Lysa now, and finally became the territory of Littlefinger.

Anyway, Lysa is Catherine's younger sister, and the Stark family represented by Catherine is undoubtedly an ally with the Bannerless family, so Lysa's attitude needs to be considered.

From Li Lingyi's point of view, Littlefinger probably played tricks from behind again, but he wasn't too worried.Eagle's Nest City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the narrowness of the castle means that there will not be too many soldiers, and it will not be easy to attack down the mountain.

In fact, I dare not. If the defenders go down the mountain easily, it will be quite embarrassing if the enemy chases after the battle and snatches the Eagle's Nest City.

In fact, the hostile declaration of Eagle's Nest City also reminded Li Lingyi of the existence of this city.

It's not that he didn't have the idea of ​​this dangerous city, even from the very beginning, he thought about what would happen if the Eagle's Nest City was captured.

It's just that the conditions were too immature at the time.

The first thing that bears the brunt is that he has no name to teach, Lysa and Catherine are sisters, and the Stark family is an ally with Li Lingyi, so if he strikes rashly, he may turn against the Stark family and fight a big fight.

Another point is that he can't get through. With the Twin Rivers City standing there, he will definitely not let him pass.But it's different now. Now that the Twin Rivers City is controlled by the Stark family, it is of course no problem for him to pass as an ally.

So now, Li Lingyi suddenly discovered that the two main obstacles have been resolved, and now a perfect city is in front of him!

Natural danger, easy to defend but difficult to attack, does not require many soldiers to guard, sufficient grain depots... all kinds of advantages are endless.

If it is captured...

Sitting in the room, Li Ling became more and more excited as he thought about it. Excited, he immediately got up and found Soros and Bailey, and shared his thoughts.

After hearing this, both of them looked confused and looked at Li Lingyi in disbelief.

"What's the matter?" Li Lingyi asked curiously, "Do you think it's wrong to do this?"

"It's not impossible..." Bailey frowned, "With Ivy's strength, maybe you can really lead a group of brave men to steal the Eagle's Nest City, but..."

"But it feels a bit fast!" Soros took the bait, stroked his chin and said, "It hasn't been long since we captured Harrenhal, and we're thinking about gunning for the Eagle's Nest City again. This is a very big step. ah."

Indeed, Li Lingyi also knew that his actions were a little anxious, but he couldn't treat himself like everyone else. He was a pioneer, and following the rules was not what he should do.

This is what he should do to expand and develop his forces as quickly as possible in the shortest possible time, and now is an excellent time!
