Whoosh whoosh--!

A total of eight wooden barrels flew out at the same time, over the city wall, swept into the air, and smashed into the Lannister army under the astonished gaze of everyone.

"Yancha!"

"Ding ding ding!"

"Puff puff!"

The wooden barrel broke, nails flew out, and the people around fell to the ground screaming in pain, and the eight wooden barrels instantly caused hundreds of people to fall to the ground at the same time.

"what!!!"

"What is that?! How can it fly!"

"nail!!!"

Cries of pain came and went, but what was more chilling than the pain was the fear. They watched with their own eyes that the wooden barrel full of nails flew out of the castle!How can this be? !No matter how strong a person is, they can't do this kind of thing!

In an instant, the atmosphere of the entire army changed. Before, they all believed that victory was coming, but now they retreated one after another, pushing and crowding each other, because they saw another eight wooden barrels flying out of the city!

"Damn it!" James was escorted by a group of soldiers and retreated, shouting as he retreated, "How did these barrels fly out! We can't retreat!"

It is true that they cannot retreat, because the thousands of "mountain soldiers" are still hanging on the wall at this time. If the main army behind them retreats, these mountaineer soldiers will be completely alone and helpless. Even if they gain a firm foothold on the city wall, there will be no follow-up troops Can keep up!

Not only James, but the little devil also saw this. He quickly shouted: "Everyone rush forward! Get under the city wall! Now our people have rushed up the city wall, don't worry about someone throwing stones down!"

That's right, as long as the army sticks close to the city wall, it can avoid these flying wooden barrels.It's just that Lannister's army is in chaos now, and orders can't be communicated effectively at all.

Of course, the soldiers can't be blamed for this, because they have hesitated here for too long, and their vigor has almost worn out.If it was said that they still held the mentality of winning this battle before, some soldiers now feel that they cannot be defeated.

And once this kind of mentality appears, it will undoubtedly spread uncontrollably throughout the entire army, so many soldiers have lost confidence now.They didn't want to be one of the meters-high corpses below the city.

As a result, the order could not be effectively implemented, and the Lannister soldiers who were still hanging on the city wall saw that the reinforcements behind were retreating, and they also lost their positions. Some even climbed halfway and even went straight down. He didn't dare to go up the wall at all.

And the most scolding ones are of course the Lannister soldiers who fought bloody blood on the city wall for seven or eight minutes. They are all elite soldiers.Originally, I thought about tearing a hole, but now that the hole was about to be torn, but no one came to drill behind, all the hard work was in vain.

As for the guards in the city, they were naturally very happy at this time. Li Lingyi ordered to throw wooden barrels out continuously, creating an illusion of infinite storage.On the other hand, he rushed to the front line and beheaded those elite soldiers.

Finally, 10 minutes later, all the Lannister soldiers who climbed the city wall were wiped out, and there were only five boxes of nailed wooden barrels left in the city, but the Lannisters outside the city retreated 3000 meters away!

At this point, Li Lingyi finally showed a smile. He knew that Harrenhal had been guarded so far.

There is no doubt that after losing these more than 3000 mountaineering soldiers, the remaining 2 or so are useless. They are not even rushing because of the existence of the catapult, and they dare not even approach now!

As for the valley knights in the west, they were taken aback by this time, especially Ian. Seeing the terrifying power caused by the catapult, the latter directly ordered the army to retreat and no longer participate in the siege.

In fact, even if Ian does not withdraw, the other generals will not agree. They are not willing to die in vain. They stayed with the idea of ​​sharing some supplies after capturing Harrenhal, but now they should hurry back to Hejian Land .

Three words, I can't afford to provoke you.

As soon as the Knights of the Valley withdrew, rumors spread among the Lannister army. The soldiers lost their fighting spirit, and the entire barracks was full of screaming soldiers.They were all pierced with nails into their flesh, in excruciating pain and very easily died of tetanus.

Witnessing this tragedy, all the uninjured soldiers showed great fear, and they were unwilling to approach Harrenhal no matter what, and all these made the coach James completely depressed.

"It's over..." In the tent, James looked downcast, as if he had aged a few years instantly, and the wrinkles on his forehead had deepened a lot. He murmured, "We lost... Harrenhal can't be defeated at all..."

Everyone was silent, and the little devil Tyrion also had a look of frustration on his face. He really didn't expect that there were hidden weapons in the castle, and he didn't know what it was until now.But no matter what, it must be stronger than the ballista, after all, the latter can't throw such a heavy wooden barrel.

Morale was low right now, and although he knew that there should not be many guards in Harrenhal, the soldiers didn't care about that.Forcing them to continue attacking the city may cause riots. From this point of view, I am afraid they can only retreat...

No one wants to accept this point. There are only half of the approximately [-] troops left, and many of them are bruised and even disabled. No matter how you look at it, this is a failed campaign.

Going back now, Lannister was defeated by the Bannerless family again, counting the last time already twice.It's a great shame for them, but there's nothing they can do about it.

"We retreat."

James finally made a decision. He said dejectedly, "I will take the initiative to apologize when I go back. This failure is all because of my command."

"grown ups……"

"It's all because that Ivy is too cunning!"

"Mainly throwing iron nails and wooden barrels... We can't get close at all!"

The generals were not blind, so they naturally understood that this failure had nothing to do with James, it was all because Harrenhal was too well prepared, and also took out a secret weapon that no one had ever seen on the road. It is not a strange thing.

However, they all realized that Harrenhal would become even stronger when they came to crusade next time.Some people even think that maybe the Iron Throne will finally recognize the legal existence of the Bannerless family, after all, crusade is not an easy task.

So the army began to prepare to retreat, with the wounded soldiers at the front and the remaining axle load behind.Then some soldiers were left to stare at Harrenhal to prevent them from launching a sneak attack, but it was just a formality.

It's just that they didn't expect that Li Lingyi really wanted to go out of the city to attack.

There was no chance before, but now that the Lannister army is retreating, and the troops responsible for escorting the axle load are at the end, with only a few hundred people guarding it, it is really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

At this time, in the meeting hall of Harrenhal, all the generals were also cheering for the victory. This time, Lannister was actually defeated, and the meaning contained in this was too great.

It is conceivable that after this battle, all the families on the entire continent will change their views on the Wuqi family.Maybe everyone thought it was a gang of rogues made up of refugees before, but now that they have defeated the most powerful family, no one dares to underestimate it anymore.

Even some families will seek cooperation. After all, Li Lingyi has proved his ability, so many vacillating families will naturally come to him.Of course, Li Lingyi didn't have any idea about these grasshoppers.

Now he immediately made a surprise attack plan. Although some people objected, he still agreed to it under Li Lingyi's strong request.That is, he himself led thousands of unbannered cavalry to attack the retreating Lannister's last axle-loaded troops.

After all, Harrenhal had consumed a lot of material during this period, and it would be considered a supplement if we could regain some.Of course, if it was a sneak attack, the troops could not go out through the door, but through secret passages.

This is naturally a very bold action, but Li Lingyi thinks it is very necessary, because even his own generals think it is a bit crazy, so it is even more impossible for the enemy to imagine it.And the more this is the case, the more it will have the effect of a surprise attack.

The soldiers were extremely fast. Less than an hour after Lannister retreated, thousands of cavalry led by Li Lingyi left the city through a secret passage, and then began to circle around from the north. It took about half an hour to finish Catch up with the marching troops and pull them into a long line.

It can be seen that these Lannister soldiers are very tired and look sluggish, and each of them seems to have no strength to speak.This is also true, retreating immediately after a strong attack, and there is no time to rest.

"My lord, attack?"

The cavalry asked Li Lingyi that the Bannerless Army was hiding under the hillside at this time, and Li Lingyi said a few words, "Don't chase and kill those who fled, and immediately go back to the main entrance of the fort with supplies after defeat, understand? "

"understand!"

As soon as Li Ling knew the time had come, he ordered the army to charge, and thousands of cavalry rushed out. These were all elites, and their equipment was extremely powerful. At this time, they suddenly jumped out and shocked the Lannister defenders.

"kill!!!"

This is also the first time that the Army Without Banners has fought against people in the field. They opened their mouths and fired three fires, and the fire was naturally very vigorous.Moreover, the enemy itself is in a semi-crippled state, so there is no reason not to panic when being ridden by cavalry at this time.
