Chapter 519: Attack
After the letter was written, it was sent out with a letter crow, although I don't know if I can receive it, or if Long Ma plans to help after receiving it, these are unknowns, but at least it is an opportunity, but it is best to try it if it is an opportunity, which is also Li Lingyi's consistent purpose.
Maybe a little bit of an inattention can affect the whole picture, it's a very cliché.
As for now, Li Lingyi was thinking about whether there was a chance to wipe out the five thousand Lannister cavalry occupying the port. Truth be told, it's hard, but it's not impossible.
The reason is simple, these 5,000 men are all cavalry, and the outside is also flat. If you go out of the city to fight, the more than 10,000 soldiers in Kaiyan City are simply not enough for people to charge a few times, not to mention that most of the soldiers themselves are reserve soldiers, and they have no experience in dealing with formed cavalry at all.
And now the other side has shown that the attitude is not to attack the city, in this case, as soon as Li Ling takes the initiative to go out, it is a reckless behavior, so he will not do it easily. But it wouldn't be a good thing if he stayed frozen here, and after thinking about it, he wrote another letter to Robb.
The latter should be about to come to King's Landing if it is not surprising, but at this time the siege is not much point, because the number of troops is not too large than the number of defenders, and there are still Tywin and Tyrion in the city, an old ghost and a small ghost, one is smarter than the other, and it is still impossible for Robb to defeat it by himself.
Therefore, he asked the turnip to wait for the arrival of the Martell family's army, and then he would divide a part of his cavalry out and go to the side of Castle Rock, preferably behind Lannisport, and make a flank attack on the harbor with Castle Rock. In this way, if these cavalry are not handled well, they may be completely wiped out.
There was no need to even destroy them, as long as the food route to King's Landing here was cut off, then these cavalrymen would be hungry in less than two days.
Time passed little by little, and soon the two days ended in a confrontation with each other, at which point Long Ma and Robb both wrote back.
The dragon mother's reply was very simple, that is, the two Lannisters had been detained, and the people on it had been controlled. She can imprison them forever, but only if Li Lingyi wants to give her a promise, that is, to serve her as queen and be loyal to her.
Li Ling sneered and tore up the letter directly, this threat didn't mean anything to him, even if she didn't help, the worst result would be that the Freedom Alliance would send some mercenaries. But so what, if you want to turn the tide of the war with some mercenaries, it's just a dream.
Moreover, Long Ma is now detaining people and not letting them immediately contact the mercenary group, so she is already helping the Flagless Army. After all, what the latter needs is a buffer time, and once they ease up and stabilize the overall situation, the mercenaries will not even have any chance to come.
As for Long Ma, she must have thought that the flagless army on the mainland was still at a disadvantage, and once these mercenaries passed, they would perish, so she dared to put forward this condition. But this can only show her ignorance of the situation on the mainland, so it's okay, if she knows the real situation, maybe she will come directly with the dragon, which is really a big trouble now.
In addition to the Dragon Mother, Robb's reply also stated that the Northern Army and the Martell family army had surrounded King's Landing, and the two sides had reached an alliance to destroy the current king together. As for who the new king was, neither side discussed this issue.
However, Robb also said that when he received the letter, he sent someone to control all the surrounding transportation sections, so that no small family had the opportunity to deliver food to Lannishavn, so that Jaime's group would be alone.
Lannisport was not a permanent residence in the first place, and there was originally a little food stored in it, but now it has long been taken away by the soldiers of the Flagless Army when they withdrew. And when these cavalrymen came, in order to hurry up, they each carried less than two days' rations, and now they have almost eaten.
It is conceivable that no matter how powerful the army is, its combat effectiveness is not very high when there is no food, but Li Lingyi did not take it lightly, but strengthened the defense of the city wall.
At this point in Lannisport, Jaime was preparing to attack. It was not possible to stay here all the time, and some of the little nobles used the small roads to transport food to the port, and the soldiers still had something to eat. But now those lower roads are all guarded by the northern army, and they see one by one robbing the other, resulting in the complete lack of food now.
"My lord, the soldiers haven't eaten for a day, and if they continue like this, they will be hungry and can't ride their horses!" the subordinate general reported, looking anxious.
Jaime himself was equally anxious, and now he was caught in a kind of confusion about where to fight.
Now that he had been guarding the port for five days, it stands to reason that if the Golden Regiment received the news, they would come over now, and two or three days would be enough time for them to come here.
But now that it is missing, it means that it may not have arrived now, or it may have arrived, and the Golden Regiment has also begun to march, but it is still not halfway there.
"Maybe the next hour will be ......" Jaime had comforted himself all day with these words, but he knew that he could not go on like this, the soldiers were about to reach their limit, and when the time came, I was afraid that they would not have to fight without the flagless army, and they would begin to have internal turmoil.
So the immediate priority is to channel the anger of these soldiers and let them burn towards the enemy.
And there are only two targets chosen, one is the hometown of Kaiyan City, if you charge at such a close distance, you can come to the city in a moment. The second is to turn around and attack the encirclement of King's Landing established by Robb and Martell, which may have a miraculous effect.
But the latter also has a flaw, that is, it will take half a day to go back, which means that the soldiers will have to go hungry for half a day. In this way, when we arrive at the battlefield, we can have a few combat strength left, which is another matter.
So Jaime was very entangled and didn't know which side to fight, but just when he was entangled, Li Lingyi in Kaiyan City decided to take the initiative and hit these people by surprise. It is conceivable that the current James must feel that Li Lingyi does not dare to lead his troops out of the city, and feels that once he comes out, he will lose the advantage of defense, and the Plains Battle is originally more powerful than the Lannisters. However, Li Lingyi also took advantage of this mentality, first showing a stubborn posture for a few days, and then seizing the opportunity to attack suddenly, which would definitely have a pretty good effect.
After all, the soldiers in the port have been hungry for a day, Li Lingyi also got the news, in fact, the Lannister soldiers are not very loyal, and in the case that the general trend has gone, many people have secretly prepared the way back.
