Chapter 513: The Soldiers Are Divided into Two Ways (Part I)

Kaiyan City is lost?!

"Kai......" Jaime was completely incredulous, and his speech became stammering, "Father, father, you, you mean ......"

“.. Tywin waved his hand weakly, and his originally tall body sat directly on the chair, and his face seemed to age several years in an instant.

As the hometown of Lannister, the importance of Kaiyan City is self-evident, but there are huge material resources in the city, and once it is lost, it will undoubtedly be a huge blow.

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

"Who else could it be. Tywin laughed miserably and shook his head, "I still underestimate the power of the Bannerless Clan, they have gathered so many people in just a few months...... Are we really ......?"

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

And at this moment, a soldier suddenly rushed in and reported loudly, "My lord, the Northern Coalition has begun to retreat!"

"Retreat?" Tywin stood up and said angrily, "Chase me!

……

The news of the Flagless Army's surprise attack and capture of Kaiyan City has spread throughout the two armies, and the soldiers of the Northern Alliance are overjoyed, because it means that the war is almost won. Without the strong backing and supply lines of Kaiyan City, the Southern Army will not be able to hold out for long.

As for King's Landing, it is even less hopeful. King's Landing is now even on the brink of a riot, with civilians starving to death every day and a severe shortage of food. It can be said that the reason why there has not been a major turmoil now is only because the little devil is leading troops to garrison.

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

Therefore, King's Landing did not send troops, and there was not enough food to transport it out, so the supplies had always relied on two places, Kaiyan City and High Court. And now that Kaiyan City is lost, the food supply of the army has become a problem, and it can't last long.

Because of this, several generals discussed it and decided to retreat first, and there was no need to fight to the death with the Lannisters. And the anxiety is that they are not the Northern Alliance, so Li Lingyi also agreed to temporarily retreat.

However, the southern army must not be happy, as soon as the northern coalition army withdrew, the army began to pursue a few hundred meters away, and it seemed that because of the loss of Kaiyan City, the morale was greatly reduced, so the hatred was more vigorous, and the impact was faster.

In this case, Li Lingyi immediately ordered to be prepared, and the enemy who was full of emotions was the weakest, because anger would take away a lot of reason, make everyone self-centered, and lose the sense of teamwork.

In this way, the roles of the two sides are reversed, and the experienced ones become angry rookies, and the rookies can also offset the difference in experience while maintaining a tight formation.

Sure enough, as soon as the southern army rushed down, they were poked to death by a wave of spears, and a few people rushed too fast and were out of touch with the large army, so they could only take the lead and die before themselves, and even several enemy teams on the left flank had different speeds, which turned into a taboo tactic for soldiers.

As a result, the disadvantages of the previous Northern Army were immediately reversed at this time, and the casualties on both sides also tended to be equal, of course, this is also inseparable from the fact that Stannis joined to occupy the advantage in numbers.

However, old Tywin did not go crazy for too long, and after paying thousands of casualties, he stopped fighting, but immediately retreated with the whole army, retreating towards the rear of the south, apparently not wanting to fight.

"Are we going to catch up now?" Edmure asked Li Lingyi, no matter what, the latter secretly knocked down Kaiyan City, and no other family could think of or do it.

"Yes, but we're going to divide our troops. Li Lingyi thought of a plan the moment he saw Tywin retreating, "Tywin is definitely going to recapture Kaiyan City, so he must send more troops and horses to defend it, and at the same time, all the small families along the way will also be captured, and their act of providing resources will be cut off." ”

"At the same time, he kept the pressure on the front and pushed slowly, so that Tywin would not dare to take any risks, and it would also prevent him from suddenly playing a surprise attack and hitting him directly from the riverlands to the north. ”

Indeed, Tywin would definitely do such a thing if he had the chance. In fact, Li Lingyi was thinking that if Tywin asked the people of the Iron Islands not to come to the main battlefield and instead attack the northern cities, then maybe he would really be able to grab one or two cities.

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 when it comes to the battlefield and fight tens of thousands of people, it is obviously too lame.

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

He was leading people to chase Theon, and it was obvious that he didn't catch up with him.

"Count that kid running fast!" Robb said angrily, flicking his horsewhip, "I must go to the Iron Islands myself and arrest him to atone for the dead of our family!"

"He's just a little guy. Li Lingyi: "Don't worry about him for now, now the situation has changed again." ”

I told him some of the things that had just happened, and finally Li Lingyi gave him a task, "The soldiers are divided into two ways, and you will be in charge of the front, try not to fight, just keep a pressure." I'll take 3,000 men from the riverland to Kaiyan City, and I'll get those little guys done halfway, and then we'll meet under King's Landing!"

"King's Landing......"

A hint of excitement flashed on Robb's face, the last time he went south, he didn't even see it, so he was undoubtedly very disappointed. So now that there is another opportunity, it is natural to cherish it very much, so I can't help but reach out and hold Li Lingyi's hand, and nod heavily, "Okay!

The Northern Coalition Army was divided into two routes, Li Lingyi quietly left with 3,000 elite soldiers, and there were more than 10,000 people left, so Old Tywin did not dare to hedge on the frontal battlefield, because he only had more than 10,000 people left.

Therefore, as long as Robb advances slowly and maintains strong pressure, then Old Tywin will always be in a passive position, on the one hand, he must consider protecting King's Landing, and on the other hand, he must find a way to retake his hometown of Kaiyan City as soon as possible.

This is no longer just a relationship between victory and defeat, but more important is honor, as the strongest family in the mainland, there is nothing more discrediting to the family than the loss of the family territory. It's the first time in many years that the Lannisters have suffered such a humiliation, so even if it costs the lives of their entire clan, they must be washed away and repaid to the enemy!
