Chapter 497: Gu Lai Conquers a Few People Back

"Did you hear, the alliance of the six major families is about to come here for exercises!"

"Really?"

"It looks like it's going to be going to be rough again. ”

"Silly, this is the southbound army led by Lord Ivey, and we are not fighting in this river. ”

"It's also ha. ”

Discussions such as these have taken place in every family in the Riverlands, and while people are disgusted with war, they also support the Six Coalitions, as public opinion is not in favor of the Iron Throne in the central and northern regions.

This can be reflected in the ballads circulating in the mainland.

The songs made by the wandering poets of the south are all rebellions in the north, and sooner or later they will be exterminated. The poets of the North, on the other hand, are sarcastic that Joffrey is the product of Lannister**, and those who support him in the South are fools.

The two types of ballads are comparable, and occasionally they will disses each other when they meet in the tavern, which is quite interesting.

Compared with the optimistic people in the north, the south was very nervous, especially some of the nobles who had fled, and they were worried all day long that the northern army would come and rob them of all their property.

So these people are also urging the Iron Throne to send troops to exterminate the northern coalition army, and it is best to take back the Hejian Land, so that they can go back, after all, the northerners have been in the north for a long time, and it is still a little uncomfortable to live in the south.

In fact, there is no need for these people to chatter, Old Tywin has already integrated the army at this time, and the two major families plus the royal city guards sent by the Iron Throne add up to a total of about 50,000 people, which is slightly less than the Northern Coalition Army, but the comprehensive combat effectiveness is comparable, or even stronger.

And there seems to be a-for-tat intention, when the Northern Coalition forces arrived in the Riverlands, the Southern Coalition forces also gathered outside King's Landing, confronting the Northern Coalition forces from afar, and seemed to have the intention of rushing over at any time.

But the Northern Coalition didn't care much about it, and still carried out military exercises on their own.

Each family sent a general with the army, but the old Luce of the Bolton family did not fight, and sent his son, who is the very hated little peel in the play, Pierams Snow.

He, like Jon, is also an illegitimate child, so his cruel and violent character is largely due to this identity, low self-esteem and unwillingness, and wants to prove himself, so he is best at all kinds of cruel punishments of the Bolton family, wanting to prove that he is a part of this family.

In fact, if Rams is properly educated, he definitely has the potential of a generation of kings, and his tenacious will and insidious cunning have made him qualified to participate in the game of thrones. But it's a pity that there is no if, and he is still like this now.

It's just that because the plot has changed dramatically, none of the things that tortured Theon, captured Lindong, Ling, and insulted Sansa have happened.

Now that Luce had sent him to be the general of the Bolton family's army, it was a sign of trust. But this made Li Lingyi a little embarrassed, after all, Rams is sinister and vicious, maybe he will play some tricks, and it will be bad if he destroys his plan.

Therefore, after learning that he was the general, Li Lingyi immediately adjusted his strategy and let the Bolton family take the position of the vanguard of the Stark family, so that it would be difficult for the latter to throw any means behind.

Besides, although this kid is insidious, he also has some skills in fighting, so Li Lingyi doesn't mind making good use of this quick knife, even if this kid is a poisonous snake, then he has to bite the enemy first.

As for Stannis's army, there was no way to participate in the exercise, as his territory was in Storm's End, which was a long way south of King's Landing.

If the army were to be transferred from such a distance, it was estimated that it would have to be completely annihilated by the Southern Coalition forces halfway. So it's good for them to stay in the rear in the early stage, in fact, this is also an invisible deterrent.

You must know that the reason why Old Tywin did not directly march to the riverland to fight is that he is afraid that once he leaves with his troops, Stannis in the rear will immediately raid King's Landing, and if King's Landing falls, it will almost be over.

As for turning around and killing Stannis first? The army went to fight the Wind Rest Fort, and Li Lingyi had no choice but to bring people over directly, and he had to swallow a large piece of southern territory directly.

So now old Tywin is also in a bit of a dilemma, so he can only stand still for the time being, waiting for the northern coalition to take the initiative to go south, and then fight in the south.

Of course, if you know Tywin's thoughts, then the people who want to scold your mother the most are the people in the south, they can't afford to eat because of the high tax rate, and now they have to fight on their land, and they really don't let people live.

But the situation is so irreversible that the only thing civilians can do is to flee or go to the north.

On the wall of Harrenburg, as soon as Li Ling put on his helmet and armor, the family soldiers were coming out of the gate in waves, he looked down and suddenly sighed.

"What's wrong?" Soros on the side laughed, "Think we don't have enough of us?"

Li Lingyi's expression was a little unbearable, he looked at those soldiers and sighed lightly: "There are enough people, but I don't know how many will come back alive." ”

Drunk and lying on the battlefield, Jun Mo smiled, and a few people came back to fight in ancient times. No matter what era it is, war is a very cruel thing, and this is still led by Li Lingyi, although he knows that he must fight, he still can't help but feel angry.

Soros was silent when he heard this, not knowing what to say, and only after a while did he laugh dryly, "Isn't this the fate of soldiers, and they are lucky, because they know that they represent justice and fight for their relatives." Besides......"

Soros clenched his fist confidently, "I think we can definitely win." ”

“…… All right. Li Lingyi shook his head and expelled his emotional thoughts, what he needed now was a rational mind.

His gaze slowly cooled, and Li Lingyi spoke: "Soros, I have more important things for you to do." ”

"What?" Soros was stunned, not quite understanding what Li Lingyi meant, and said in confusion: "What's more important? You didn't transfer me from Twin River City to let me join the coalition?"

"Yes. ”

Li Ling nodded, Soros was suddenly a little disappointed, he was still excited when he received the order before, thinking that he could participate in the southward battle, but now he is ......

Seeing that Soros was depressed, Li Lingyi smiled slightly, "What's the matter, I haven't said anything more important, and you're so disappointed?"

"No matter what it is, I definitely didn't have the pleasure of fighting King's Landing!" Soros said depressedly, he had long thought that one day he could lead troops to fight King's Landing, what a majestic thing it would be!

"Then if I say, let you lead the troops to fight Kaiyan City...... Won't you be interested?" 9110
