Chapter 444 put a match
All the men, women, and children in the city were mobilized, because in the afternoon Li Lingyi gave another round of speeches, mainly about the terrible end that would be brought about by the loss of Harrenhal, although some exaggerated statements were used, but the effect was still very good.
Now everyone believes that once the city is broken, what awaits them is skinning and cramping, and as long as they can defend it, the next thing is a rich and leisurely life waiting for them. So now everyone is scared, but they have also decided to fight against them.
Li Lingyi was quite satisfied with this attitude, and he also came to the city wall for the first time, and looked from afar, only to see a group of neatly arranged cavalry lined up thousands of meters away. It was so far away that others couldn't see the number of people at all, but Li Lingyi frowned slightly.
These cavalrymen were not very tightly arranged with each other, and there was a feeling of confusion about the number of people, and although it was impossible to tell at a glance how many people had come, there were absolutely no tens of thousands! I am afraid that they could not even reach five thousand.
"It should be the vanguard. Berry said that he also saw the number of the large army, "I guess when the infantry in the back catches up, they will come together." ”
"Uncle, there are so many people!" Soros spat under the city wall and rubbed his hands, "If you rush up later, it will be cool." ”
"Remember to put on your armor at that time. Li Ling glanced at Soros's clothes and said, "Tywin is not a fool, even if he is overwhelmingly outnumbered, he will never charge without a brain, I think they will use a large number of bows and arrows to throw first, which can not only suppress the strength of the guards of our city walls, but also reduce our morale." ”
"Yes. Berry agreed, "I think so too, the archers cooperate with the infantry, but don't worry, our soldiers are equipped with the best armor stored in this castle, and it should be fine with a little attention." ”
"Get rid of all the flammable things, and they will most likely use rockets. Li Lingyi said, "We can't be negligent in any aspect, and we don't have the cost of trial and error." ”
"Don't worry. ”
"Teacher Ivey!" At this time, Arya also went up to the city wall, came to Li Lingyi's side, squinted at the army in the distance, and frowned slightly, "There are so many people..."
"What?" Li Ling smiled, "The little wolf girl is scared?"
"How is that possible!" Arya glared at him and patted the sword at her waist, "Let them come, I'll give them a hole in their bodies!"
"Well, this girl deserves to be your apprentice Ive. Soros smiled when he heard this, "Then I'll go and prepare." With that, he and Berry went down the wall.
"Seriously, Aya. Li Lingyi changed his title and said softly: "Actually, you must have seen that it is difficult for us to defend this castle with such a smart little head, right?"
"En......" Arya nodded, she had experienced a lot and understood a lot, so she could also see the situation, after all, the difference in numbers was too great. However, she nodded and looked at Li Lingyi seriously, "But I believe that Teacher Ivey can do it! ”
"Huh, do you say my hair?" Li Lingyi said, indeed his smooth black hair was quite rare at this time, and he had never touched one in such a long time.
"Of course not!" Arya laughed, "but Mr. Ivey, your hair is really special, but I like it very much, it's very comfortable to touch, hehe! And in the previous tournaments, they all said you would lose, but I knew you would win the championship, and I won! And..."
"And what?" Li Ling asked, Arya scratched her head and whispered, "Even if the castle is breached, I think Teacher Ivey will definitely take me away, just like he took me from King's Landing." ”
“…… Kindness. Li Lingyi smiled, he was naturally in a good mood to be trusted by others, and reached out and pinched Arya's slippery face, "That's right, even if the city breaks, I will take little Aya away, after all, you are so cute, I can't let you fall into the hands of that old guy Tywin." ”
"Ahh
“……”
Li Ling shook his head with a laugh, and looked at the army in the distance, his expression became serious again. Yes, he could have taken Arya away even if the city was broken, but the others would definitely die! Those were the poor people he promised to make their lives better so he was willing to come and fight for him, so he couldn't allow the city to be broken.
After a silent distant standoff that lasted almost two hours, the Grand Army finally began to approach Harrenhal. However, what puzzled Li Lingyi was that the number of enemies had not increased, and it was still the same people as before. As for the possibility of a sneak attack by dividing the troops, it is completely impossible, Harrenhal is located on the north shore of the north of the Divine Eye Lake, and at the same time has its back to the Three Forks River, so any large force movement can be seen at a glance.
Is it also planning to act at night?
Li Ling thought about it, but he didn't have time to think about it right now, the enemy was already less than a kilometer away from Harrenhal, and then he didn't get any closer.
And this distance can also count their number, originally thought that there was an army of tens of thousands of people, but only turned out to be about 3,000 people, of which more than 1,000 cavalry, the rest were infantry and archers.
It is impossible not to doubt this number, although Li Lingyi's army is just a group of irregular armed forces organized by mercenaries and civilians, but with the natural barrier of Harrenhal, it is completely wishful thinking to take it down with only 3,000 people!
There were now almost 1,200 combatants in Harrenhal, and the 3,000 men that were attacking only meant that Tywin was either insane or had other plans.
Plans for anything else...?
Li Lingyi's expression changed suddenly, he hurriedly summoned the soldiers who domesticated the letter crow, and then immediately began to take out a piece of paper and write on it.
"What's wrong?" Soros asked, puzzled, "Is this Tywin old and confused?
"The group doesn't seem to be going to attack. Berry saw it thoroughly, his brow furrowed, "What the hell is Tywin thinking, it's impossible for the big force to be so far out of touch with the striker." ”
"Of course not. Li Lingyi finished writing the paper scroll at this time, tied it to the crow's feet, and asked the soldiers to send it away.
"Unless Tywin's purpose isn't Harrenhal at all!" Li Lingyi looked at the three thousand soldiers outside the city with a serious expression, and sneered, "Hehe, the old thing is really cunning, put us together." ”
"You mean..." At this time, Soros and Berry also realized something, and their expressions were a little shocked.
"That's right. Li Ling nodded, "Harrenhal is just a front, what Tywin really wants to fight is Riverrun!"
