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

From the map, starting from King's Landing, the army can go straight along the King's Road to the Harrenhal Castle. The road is unimpeded, and they can reach it in less than three days.

The whole road is open to the sky, and there is only a dense forest in the middle, and the army must enter the forest if they want to pass.There are so many trees in the dense forest, and they are extremely tall. Being in it feels like covering the sky and blocking out the sun. It is a good place to ambush.

Anyone with a bit of military common sense can see this point, and Soros and Bailey naturally understand it too, but they are just a little hesitant.After all, they could see it, and it was impossible for Lannister's generals not to see it, and they would definitely be on guard.

If you act rashly, it is very likely that you will be chased instead of a sneak attack, and the gain will outweigh the loss.

The two looked at Li Lingyi, who had a stern expression, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, "Naturally, ordinary ambushes won't work, but what if the ambush is not a human being?"

not human? !

Bailey and Soros were a little puzzled, but Li Lingyi stretched out his hand and wrote the word "fire" on the table. The two gasped and looked at each other in astonishment.

"Set it on fire?!" Bailey looked at Li Lingyi suspiciously, "Is it a bit..."

"what?"

"This dense forest has existed for hundreds of years." Soros sighed: "If it is really set on fire, the whole area will definitely be burned. Isn't that... what a pity?"

"What a pity?" Li Lingyi shook his head slightly, "Do you think a forest is more important, or the 2 people in Harrenhal?"

The two did not speak, so Li Lingyi continued.

"I know, you think this dense forest is an 'antique', or some kind of 'relic'. But I want to say that in the face of human life, these are not worth mentioning. Like you, Lannister would not think that we set fire to Lin, that's why I'm about to do this."

"They have a lot of people, we have to admit this. In fact, although we have prepared a lot during this time, I think the two of you also understand that the chance of keeping it may not even be one-third. Let them go like this Tens of thousands of troops are on the border. Once the city is broken, maybe you and I can get away with it, but what about the remaining 2 people? With the character of the Lannister family, they will definitely launch a massacre of the city in order to clear their honor. Human life?"

After Li Ling finished speaking, both of them remained silent, but there was already a look of struggle on their faces.In fact, this is the characteristic of this era. People have more respect for nature in their hearts.

In fact, Li Lingyi is also in awe, but awe does not mean that he should be enshrined on the altar, because from the moment a person is born with wisdom, human beings have truly become the masters of the world.As the spirit of creation, everything must serve humanity.

It might be cruel, but that's how the world works.It's a pity to burn those centuries-old trees, but isn't it a pity to die?Which is more important, Li Lingyi has a judgment in his heart, what he has to do now is to convert the views of Bailey and Soros.

After all, these two are the chief generals under him. If they disagree, even if they enforce the order forcefully, they will feel unwilling and arouse their resistance.

"Ivy, what you said is very reasonable... But, can you only set fire? Can't you use other methods?" Bailey still couldn't accept it. He suggested: "For example, we can ambush many archers and wait for them to enter Jungle..."

"Berry, you know you're talking nonsense, right?" Li Ling interrupted Berry directly, his eyes were quite sharp, "For an archer in this kind of dense forest, more than half of his arrows will hit the tree trunk. I'm afraid a small half will be blocked by the iron armor."

Bai Li was silent, he was talking nonsense, but he couldn't think of a better way for a while, and he didn't want to set fire to the forest, so he said a way that couldn't bear to be considered in a hurry.

"I think... Ivy's words make sense." Soros struggled for a while, and finally said, "Those trees will grow again after they are burned, but if we people die, it's all fucking fun It's over!"

Li Ling glanced at him appreciatively when he heard the words, and said: "You are right, I think you should understand that we are not representing ourselves now, but a new way of family rule that is better for the common people. If We were wiped out by the Lannisters, so I am afraid that the people will still live in exploitation and pain, I think... this is not what you want to see, Beric?"

When this was said, Bailey himself agreed.It is true that their current family model is not a hereditary system, so all the members are vying to perform, hoping to accumulate their own merits.The rights and interests of the common people are thus guaranteed, because the opinions of the common people also have an impact on the family position.

In fact, it is not an advanced thing, but an early immature democratic model.But even so, it is much stronger than the current royal system.

"Berry, you are my important general, so I respect your opinion." Li Lingyi continued, with a sincere expression, "If you insist on refusing, then we can discuss another method. But I want you to think about it , Before we established the Bannerless Family, what kind of life did the civilians who were affected by the war live?"

Bailey pursed his lips when he heard the words, and finally sighed when he thought of the bones everywhere he had seen before, "Okay... I agree."

"Just figure it out." Seeing this, Li Ling stepped forward to stop Bailey's shoulder, and said with a smile, "I promise you, when we defeat Lannister, I will designate that day as Arbor Day. At this time, the members of the Wuqi family must plant trees, which can be regarded as an apology for the trees we burned, how about it?"

"Haha! Arbor Day!" Soros couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, "Ivy, why do you have so many crazy ideas, and you even came up with an Arbor Day!"

As soon as Li Ling said this, Bailey's expression finally eased a lot, and he nodded and smiled.So the former also directly handed over the task to him, "Berry, I will leave this matter to you. Take 1000 people and go to the dense forest to ambush immediately tonight, and pour glycerin in the forest in advance."

"Okay." Bailey took a deep breath and nodded, "I'll get ready now."

After finishing speaking, Bailey turned around and left the room, and after he left, Soros also asked a little puzzled, "Ivy, why don't you leave this matter to me? Bailey, don't be soft-hearted and take care of it smashed!"

"Don't worry." Li Ling said with a smile: "Berry, you should understand that as long as he agrees, then this matter will definitely be handled, so I trust him."

Chapter 470 Ivy's Prestige

So after preparing glycerin, Beric set off with a thousand people. Compared with Lannister's army, Harrenhal was closer to the dense forest, so Beric and others could enter at least half a day earlier. jungle.

In fact, if Li Lingyi could do it, he would like to do it himself, but now that the war is imminent, the patriarch of his family must stay in the city.For nothing else, his existence is a shot in the arm.As long as the people in the city saw Li Lingyi, they felt confident of victory.

Although it may be suspected of personality cult, but to be honest, Li Lingyi still enjoys this feeling very much.It’s a great feeling to be wanted by so many people, but it’s also a huge pressure because you have to be stronger than everyone because of the expectations you have on your shoulders.

As for such things as weakness and hesitation, it is not something a leader should show. What can be shown is self-confidence, the self-confidence that everything is under control, so as to infect the people under him.

So now even though Li Lingyi feels guilty, he still walks in the city full of confidence, constantly encouraging the people he meets, telling them to cheer up and not be afraid, and firmly believe that the goddess of victory will take care of us.

……

In the dense forest, Berry has successfully led people to lurk in.

"My lord, what should we do now?" his subordinates asked, and Bailey looked around. There were many trees around, covering the sky and the sun, and there were also many delicate flowers blooming everywhere. Accompanied by the chirping of birds, it was like a forest dance.

If this jungle is burned down, these birds will have no place to live...

When Bailey thought of this, his heart suddenly became heavy, but when he saw the young people around him, he thought of the kind people in the city, and the trusting look in Li Ling's eyes when he handed over this matter to him, he became firm again.

"Everyone spread out!" Bailey said earnestly, "Scatter the glycerin in an arc, and don't pour it on our way of retreat, understand?"

"understand!"

"Take action."

When Bailey gave an order, all the soldiers dispersed and ran away. All of them carried a small bag on their backs, which contained some glycerin.Not many, but enough to set the entire forest on fire.

Half an hour later, the soldiers began to gather in the middle, and the glycerin had been sprinkled all over, but not too far forward, otherwise it would be meaningless if they were discovered by Lannister scouts.

After the layout is completed, the next step is to wait.

The thousand-man army had been lurking in the dense forest for about four hours, and Lannister's vanguard scouts went into the jungle.

I wanted to check to see if there was an ambush, but Bailey and the others were hiding behind the dense forest, so the scouts couldn't find it at all.In addition, the glycerin poured on the ground is covered with dry wooden strips, so even if the ground is found to be wet occasionally, it will definitely be regarded as dew, and it will not be cared about.

As a result, the scouts who found nothing unusual retreated one after another and reported the situation to the leader James.

"There's no ambush?" James was a little surprised after hearing the report. In his opinion, it was unbelievable that there was no ambush in this dense forest.If the positions were switched, if he was Li Lingyi, he would definitely ambush an army here.

"Those refugees are probably too frightened to even leave the city, right? They're still lying in ambush, haha!" said the generals, all showing a slight contemptuous look.
