After pulling the reins to stop, Li Ling looked around. First of all, the 3000 people from the Iron Islands were almost wiped out, but Lannister's heavy cavalry also crashed into the Northern coalition army after a detour.Although the Northern Allied Forces also dispatched cavalry to counterattack, the effect was still a bit poor, so many people were killed or injured after one round.

On the other hand, on Lannister's side, if there is no division of troops to deal with Stannis, perhaps this wave of heavy cavalry charging down, and then cooperating with the infantry rushing forward, can severely damage the Northern Alliance.But now that there are not enough infantry, it doesn't take much advantage. On the contrary, after the Iron Islands soldiers were wiped out, they fell into the situation of being flanked by front and back.

At this time, it seemed that Tywin had issued another order. The southern army began to head east, as if they still wanted to leave the battlefield. When Li Ling saw this, he asked the soldiers to chase and kill them for a while, and then retreated to rest.

In fact, both Ian and Edmure wanted to continue the pursuit at this time, but Li Ling saw that the state of his own soldiers was on the verge of limit, and if they continued to fight, there was a great risk of collapse, so they still strongly refused.

In this way, there is nothing the two of them can do. After all, it was decided at the meeting that only Li Lingyi, Robb, and Stannis could command the coalition forces. I went to chase the fleeing Theon, so only Li Lingyi was left.

So he could only follow his orders.

At this time, as the southern army moved eastward, Stannis' soldiers no longer pursued them, but came from the west to the northern coalition army, allowing the two armies to meet.

"Sorry, I am late."

As soon as Stannis arrived, he immediately apologized to several generals. Edmure wanted to get angry, but Li Lingyi took the first step and said with a smile: "It's just in time, if we are a little later, we will have to The army is gone."

"..." Stannis was a little embarrassed when he heard this, and raised his hand, not knowing what to say.

"What's the matter, isn't King's Landing that easy to fight?" Li Lingyi asked again. Obviously, he was teasing Stannis. Although the latter was a little dissatisfied when he heard the words, he could only nod because he didn't care first, " It's really... not easy to fight."

There is no doubt that the reason why Stannis was late was to take the army to fight King's Landing.He thought that Tywin took the army away, so King's Landing became empty, and wanted to take advantage of the battle between the two armies to take down the king city in advance, and then directly become the new king himself.

But he never expected that even if Tywin was not there, he would not be able to defeat King's Landing.On the one hand, there are more people defending the city than he imagined, and on the other hand, the preparations for defending the city are also very sufficient.He had just started to order a strong attack, and lost nearly two thousand soldiers within ten minutes. As a result, he was so frightened that he withdrew immediately. If he continued to fight, the army would be wiped out.

So in desperation, he could only make peace with the coalition forces, so he hurried over, fearing that the coalition forces had been wiped out by Tywin.Fortunately, he arrived in time, which can be considered as a big contribution, which can also make him less harsh, at least he thinks so.

But in fact, if there is no arrival of Stannis, the northern coalition army will definitely suffer heavy losses. Although they will not be defeated, they will definitely have to leave a lot of corpses to retreat.There is no way, the combat power is indeed inferior, and on such a clear plain, there is no strategy to use the weak to defeat the strong.

Therefore, although everyone was dissatisfied with Stannis, they did not express it clearly. At this moment, several ravens flew from the sky, some of them landed in the southern army, and some landed in the northern army.

Reaching out to let one fall on his palm, Li Lingyi took off the note tied to his foot, tore it apart, smiled, and looked up at the crowd, "We have won this war."

……

"This this……"

Looking at the note in his hand, Tai Wen felt the blood rushing up in his chest, his brain went blank, and his sturdy body trembled slightly.

"My lord! Are you alright?!" The guard next to him immediately wanted to come over to help him, but was kicked away by Tai Wen, and he said angrily, "Get out! Get out of here!!!"

"grown ups……"

At this time, Tai Wen's eyes were red and his body was trembling. He left the note on the table, and then raised his sword and slashed at it!

With a click, the paper and the table were split in half.

Seeing this, none of the people dared to speak, and panting became cautious.And after the silence lasted for 3 minutes, Tai Wen finally spoke slowly with a sullen expression.

"Casterly Rock... lost."

Chapter 513

Casterly Rock lost? !

"Kay..." James couldn't believe it, and he stuttered, "Father, father? You, you mean..."

"That's right." Tai Wen waved his hands weakly, and his tall and straight body sat directly on the chair, his face seemed to have aged several years in an instant.

As Lannister's hometown, Casterly Rock City's importance is self-evident. The city has a huge amount of material resources. Once lost, it will undoubtedly be a huge blow.

"What the hell is going on!" James was shocked and angry, he asked Tywin, "Father, who did it?!"

"Who else could it be?" Tai Wen laughed miserably and shook his head, "I still underestimated the strength of the Wuqi family. In just a few months, they have gathered so many people... Could it be that we really..."

Tywin didn't continue talking, but the generals didn't know what to do.Even the most powerful and calm Tywin looked depressed at this time, so what else could they do.

But at this moment, a soldier rushed in and reported loudly, "My lord, the Northern coalition forces have begun to retreat!"

"Retreat?" Tywin stood up abruptly, and said angrily, "Chasing after me! Don't let them run away!"

……

The fact that the Bannerless Army captured Casterly Rock by surprise has spread throughout the two armies, and the soldiers of the Northern Alliance are all overjoyed, because this means that the war is almost won.Without the strong backing and supply lines of Casterly Rock City, the Southern Army would not last long.

As for King's Landing, that's even less to be expected.Now King's Landing is even on the verge of a riot. The civilians are starving to death every day, and there is a serious shortage of food.It can be said that the reason why no major turmoil has erupted is only because the little devil is leading troops to garrison.

It is conceivable that once the little devil leads troops out of the city to support Tywin, the next moment they come out, it is estimated that the Iron Throne will have to be smashed by angry and hungry civilians.

Therefore, King's Landing did not send troops, and there was not enough food to be transported abroad, so the supplies have always been transported from two places, Casterly Rock City and High Court.But now that Casterly Rock City is lost, the army's food supply has become a problem, and it won't last long at all.

Because of this, several generals discussed it and decided to retreat first. There was no need to fight Lannister.And the worry is that they are not the Northern Allied Forces, so Li Lingyi also agreed to retreat temporarily.

However, the southern army was definitely not happy. The army started chasing after a few hundred meters after the northern coalition army withdrew, and it seemed that because of the loss of Casterly Rock City, the morale fell, so the hatred was more vigorous, and the impact was faster.

In this case, Li Lingyi immediately ordered to stand in line. Enemies full of emotions are the weakest, because anger will take away a lot of reason, making everyone centered on themselves, and they will lose their sense of teamwork.

In this way, the roles of the two sides are reversed, the experienced one becomes the angry rookie, and the rookie can also offset the gap in experience while maintaining a tight formation.

Sure enough, as soon as the southern army rushed down, they were stabbed to death by spears. Some people rushed too fast and lost touch with the large army, so they could only lead the soldiers to die before themselves. Even the speed of several enemy teams on the left wing was different, and they turned into military strategists. Avoid refueling tactics.

As a result, the northern army's previous disadvantages were immediately reversed at this time, and the casualties on both sides also tended to be the same. Of course, this is also inseparable from the fact that Stannis joined and thus gained an advantage in numbers.

However, old Tywin didn't go crazy for too long. After paying thousands of casualties, he stopped fighting. Instead, the whole army retreated immediately, and retreated towards the south rear. It seemed that he didn't want to fight anymore.

"Are we going to catch up now?" Edmure asked Li Lingyi. In any case, the fact that the latter secretly took down Casterly Rock City was beyond the imagination of any other family.

"Yes, but we have to divide our troops." Li Lingyi made up his plan the moment he saw Tai Wen retreating, "Tai Wen will definitely take back Kaiyan City, so we must send more troops to defend, and at the same time, we will All of the small families are also captured, cutting off their behavior of providing resources."

"At the same time, keep positive pressure all the way, and advance slowly, so that Tywin will not dare to take risks, and it will also prevent him from suddenly playing a surprise attack and going directly from the river to the north."

Indeed, Tywin would definitely do such a thing if given the chance.In fact, Li Lingyi was thinking that if Tywin told the people of the Iron Islands not to interfere in the main battlefield, but to sneak attack the northern cities, then maybe they could really grab a city or two.

It's a pity that he used those people in the wrong place. After all, the soldiers of the Iron Islands are more like robbers than soldiers. They may be able to rob, but it is obviously too lame to fight with tens of thousands of people on the battlefield.

At this moment, Robb also rushed back with a team of cavalry, glanced at everyone, and shook his head in disappointment.

He was leading someone to chase Theon, but apparently he didn't catch him.

"That kid ran fast!" Robb said angrily, and shook his horsewhip, "I will go to the Iron Islands myself to catch him and make amends to the dead of our family!"

"He's just a small person." Li Ling said, "Don't worry about him, now the situation has changed again."

Talked to him about what happened just now, and finally Li Lingyi gave him a task, "The soldiers will be divided into two groups, and you will be in charge of the front. Try not to fight, just keep a pressure. I will take 3000 people from Hejian We will make a quick detour to Casterly Rock City, and we will take care of those little guys on the way, and when the time comes, our two groups will meet at the foot of King's Landing!"

"King's Landing..."
