"But what about the Lannisters?" Soros asked, "If you are not in the city, once the Lannister army attacks, without you present, the morale of the soldiers may have problems. You know, they are all aimed at It came from your name."

"kindness……"

Li Ling pondered for a moment, this is indeed a problem.The Bannerless family really needs him to be in command to exert their maximum combat effectiveness. Once he is not there, the people below will definitely be shaken.After all, until now, almost everyone in the family regards him as a pillar, the foundation of the family.It can be said that if Li Ling dies, the Bannerless family will definitely collapse immediately. After all, the prestige of Soros and Bain has not yet been fully established.

"Look, there's no way to solve it." Soros spread his hands, "So let's be steady, get Harrenhal done first, and then think about the Eagle's Nest City. Maybe we're too anxious good."

"I think so." Bailey nodded, "This matter really can't be rushed."

"What if Stannis is willing to help us?" Li Lingyi asked suddenly.

Stannis?

The two glanced at each other for the fourth time, "How can you help us? He was almost scattered by Tywin in King's Landing, and even if nothing happened, he couldn't send troops at will, right?"

"Who said he wants to send troops." Li Lingyi said with a smile, "There is no need to send troops, as long as you show the appearance of sending troops... that's fine."

"Acting to send troops?" Beric thought for a moment, his eyes lit up, "I understand what you mean, but it requires the cooperation of Stannis. And... it won't do him any good, you think he will Agree?"

"...Beside Stannis, there is a Scarlet Witch who believes in the Lord of Light." Li Ling said something without thinking, and then looked at Beric. The latter was slightly taken aback, and nodded after a while Nodded, turned and walked away.

"What's Bailey doing?" Soros was puzzled, "What's wrong with the Scarlet Witch?"

"It's okay, I just ask Bailey to write a letter and contact the Scarlet Witch. Maybe... it will be useful."

It's not that useful, it's very useful.So far, Stannis still trusts the Scarlet Witch, and is willing to listen to her opinions on some major decisions.If she is willing to speak for Li Lingyi, then this matter is very likely to succeed.

And Bailey is also a loyal believer of the Lord of Light, maybe after reading his letter, the Scarlet Witch will understand something about this side.

The next step is to wait. I have to say that there are more than a dozen spies caught in Harrenhal every day. There are too many spies sent by various families.Of course, at most they were sent from King's Landing, and several of them were subordinates of the Octopus.

Li Lingyi also treats these spies differently. Those who really find out the news will be killed with one word.As for those who were arrested before they found anything, Li Lingyi would tell them some false information depending on the situation, and then let them go.

Of course, Li Lingyi is also cultivating spies, and then sending some out, he doesn't want to find out any confidential information, as long as he can send back some normal information in time, such as the transfer of troops and the like.

And the spies in King's Landing did send back a secret report that Lannister was reorganizing the army and would attack soon, and the target was obviously Harrenhal.

The number of the army is tens of thousands at least, and it is still gathering. This number is not surprising. Lannister must want to be in place at once. The longer it is delayed, the more troublesome it will be.

In fact, everyone in Harrenhal also knew that this battle was inevitable, but there were still a small number of those who took refuge, and most of them were willing to stay and die together. If they could survive in the future, this would be considered a major reason.

At noon the next day, Li Lingyi finally received a reply letter from Stannis, which agreed to Li Lingyi's request, but also clearly stated that he owed him a favor, and that Li Lingyi would also have to help when he needed help in the future.

This was considered a rather reasonable deal, and Li Lingyi naturally accepted it.So another day later, when the Lannister army was about to set off, Storm's End began to gather soldiers, and it was quite likely to attack King's Landing again.

And this also made Lannister's army stop immediately. They were indeed afraid that Stannis would attack King's Landing as soon as the army left King's Landing, which could be regarded as a kind of pressure.

So at this hesitant juncture, Li Lingyi quietly left the city with a hundred elite soldiers at night, and then marched quickly to the city of Twin Rivers, and successfully let them pass after identifying himself.

So in the early morning of the next day, a group of people rushed to Yanchang Town near Eagle's Nest City, where the elite soldiers took a rest, while Li Lingyi went to Eagle's Nest City alone.

Just like when he investigated Twin Rivers, Li Lingyi had to understand the information in the city before he could act. For him, failure was not allowed in every operation, because the consequences were often very difficult for him to bear.

It's the same this time, although only 100 people were brought, but these [-] are elite soldiers, carefully selected from the Army without Banners, and Li Lingyi will feel extremely heartbroken if he is killed or injured, so we have to fight more and more. cautious.

Eagle's Nest City, as a dangerous city, is surrounded by mountains on all sides, and it is not so easy to enter. There is only one valley to pass through. People who go up from here will undoubtedly be found by the guards.

Bronn once said, give him ten good hands and enough hiking boots, and he'll take down the whore in the castle.

It sounds domineering, but in fact it is completely impossible. Unlike the small dirt hills in the play, the mountains in this reality are surrounded by cliffs. If you want to climb from the bottom up, even if you can't fall, but The physical strength is not enough. It is estimated that I will be exhausted after climbing less than one-tenth.At that time, if you can't go up or down, there is only a dead end.

Therefore, in order to capture the Eagle's Nest City, the only option is to attack from the front, or a small force can steal up, or else the most common method for attacking this kind of terrain is to cooperate with the inside and outside.

To be honest, if this kind of trick is used by Lannister, it will be very easy to use.Because everyone knows that Lannister must pay his debts.You can say that he is insidious, but he will still be paid if he does something, so many people are willing to work hard.

But Li Lingyi was different. Even if he offered [-] golden dragons to bribe someone, he probably wouldn't believe him.This is the disadvantage of the new family. They have no background, and other than relying on fists, diplomacy and politics are not accepted by others.

Therefore, Li Lingyi didn't think about playing internally and externally at the beginning. What he thought was the second method of play, first use bait to lure the guards away, and then let the elite soldiers sneak attack.

And the bait, without a doubt, was himself.

Chapter 467 Taking the Eagle's Nest City Lightly

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

"Two unlucky ghosts went out from the moon gate yesterday."

"Yeah, haha, who told them to spread gossip about our wife."

"Yeah, he..."

The faint voice of conversation came from the front. It was the Eagle's Nest City patrolling soldiers. They would patrol along this mountain road and check for all possible threats.However, there has been no threat these years. At most, there are some robbers, but they only dare to rob passing merchants, and the Eagle's Nest City still dare not offend.

So the two soldiers were also bored, chatting and walking casually along the mountain road, never seeing Li Lingyi squatting in the grass.

Of course, Li Lingyi didn't want to gank them. Eagle's Nest City didn't have many soldiers. If the two of them couldn't return within a certain period of time, it would definitely cause alerts in the city, which would be terrible.

After the two walked a little further, Li Lingyi got out immediately and continued to go upwards.He has been walking along the rock wall, almost sticking to it, so as not to be seen by the people above. After all, he is a blind spot from below, even if people come, he will not be able to see it at all.

All the way forward, Li Lingyi dodged three waves of patrolling soldiers in the same way, and finally touched the city gate...the stairs in front of it.

Looking up, going up the long steps, you will see the gate of Eagle's Nest City and the tower building behind it like a castle in the air.The stairs are very narrow and can only bear three or four people walking at the same time, which is very steep.And this is also the reason why it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. As long as a group of people come to defend the stairs, even an army of ten thousand people will find it difficult to attack.

So for many years, few people have the idea of ​​attacking Eagle's Nest City. This is both a good thing and a bad thing.The good thing is to sit back and relax, but the bad thing is that many years of stability have made him used to it, so that if a crisis breaks out, he may be insufficiently prepared.

Of course, Lysa must have broken her head and never imagined that Li Lingyi was actually thinking about the Eagle's Nest City. After all, even many centuries-old families dared not do this, but it was precisely this that gave Li Lingyi a chance.

As for why he was in such a hurry, Li Lingyi was actually a little worried, worried that if Harrenhal really couldn't hold on.Although in front of others he always acted like he was in control of everything, but in reality he was very uncertain.

After all, Lannister is really too strong. If he can crush Li Lingyi in terms of military strength, financial resources, technology and population, the odds are great.He even thought that if the Lannisters did not attack the city, but only sent a large army to surround Harrenhal, and if the two sides competed for food reserves, Harrenhal would definitely not be able to compete for the Iron Throne with the entire continent.

Therefore, it was necessary to prepare a way out, and when the news of Eagle's Nest City declaring war came, Li Lingyi immediately identified this city as his way out.

It is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the food is sufficient, which means that there are not many soldiers to guard, and this is exactly what he needs now.

So, just do what you want, Li Lingyi will not hesitate about anything, even if it develops to the worst step, it is nothing more than the Stark family breaking with him because of Lysa.

That's nothing to worry about, after all, Robb and his group are all in the north now, and he doesn't care about this side before he regains Winterfell, and when he stabilizes, Li Lingyi will not be afraid of anything.

Putting aside his messy thoughts, Li Lingyi concentrated on staring at the top of the stairs. There are four guard soldiers at the gate of the city. It is impossible for him to swagger over, and killing them...is meaningless.

So Li Lingyi lurked until night, and finally found an opportunity.

A guard soldier came down to find a convenient place, but before he could untie his belt, Li Ling grabbed his ankle, pulled him down forcefully, and pierced his chest with a sword.

After dragging him to his side and putting on his armor, Li Lingyi got up and walked out of the grass, stepped up the steps, and headed towards the city gate with his head down.
