With the scorching sun scorching the earth at noon, Li Lingyi was also a little tired, he had not slept for three consecutive days since he began to prepare for the attack, but there was no way, there was really no time to rest.

Now that the whole of Harrenhal has entered a state of first-level readiness, all the defenders have been mobilized, and there are dozens of soldiers standing guard on the city walls, Tywin's army is ready to arrive at any time, and it must be discovered as soon as possible.

The city gate was also strengthened in the past two days, and almost a hundred sets of ironclad steel swords were used in the warehouse, all of which were melted in the blacksmith's shop, and then forged a large square steel block. The steel block weighed hundreds of kilograms, and more than a dozen people cooperated to move it to the city gate and block it behind.

In this way, even if the stone gate is forcibly broken, this large steel block can block it for a while, and this time is enough to kill and injure enough enemies. Now there are buckets of asphalt on the city walls, and as long as the soldiers are under the city, they will be poured head-on, which is much more lethal than a sword into the flesh, and it is also more intimidating to the enemy.

Li Lingyi found Soros and Berry, who were training the newly recruited soldiers, of course, there was no time to train anything else, just to make them memorize some instructions.

"How's it going?" Li Ling asked, the two shook their heads, and Berry smiled bitterly, "Time is too rushed, to put it mildly, it's very likely... I mean, if the Tywin army comes, some of them might not be able to resist the pressure to surrender. ”

"I think so too. Soros nodded, "After all, we don't have a well-known name, and it's normal for ordinary people to be afraid of a behemoth like the Lannister family." ”

"That's not going to work. Li Lingyi shook his head, "Don't train, you can talk to them and let them recognize the reality." ”

"What reality?" Soros was a little puzzled, Li Ling glanced at him, "Tywin must be furious now, in his opinion we are just a rabble, and it is these rabble who have taken his Harrenhal, you can imagine how angry he is." ”

"If our defense fails, then once Tywin breaks through, a slaughter awaits us. It can be said to be revenge, or it can be said to be Liwei. If the punishment for us is not strong enough, then give others the impression that the Lannisters are weak, and that the castle has been taken by a group of outcasts, and that they are not held accountable afterwards, which is absolutely unacceptable to Tywin. ”

“…… Oh, yes. Berry sighed, "Even if we surrender now, or escape from this Harrenhal, I'm afraid Tywin won't let us go, and he won't give up until we are all killed." ”

"So make these facts clear to them. "Tell them that if anyone is afraid, they can leave now, but you should know that if we fail, then the civilians of the Riverlands will definitely be exploited more brutally, let them choose for themselves." ”

As soon as Li Ling finished speaking, he left the training ground, which was also a helpless move, it was too normal for civilians to be afraid of the Lannister, it was more strange to say that they were not afraid, after all, the latter was famous for being powerful and rich, and the eldest daughter of the family was still the queen mother, which could be said to be powerful.

However, what he said just now was not an exaggeration, Tywin was so proud that he would never let anyone who humiliate the Lannisters, and if Harrenhal was recaptured by him, there was a good chance that there would be a massacre to deter others who dared or wanted to offend their family.

"Your Excellency!"

One walked over with a letter crow and handed the note it was carrying to Li Lingyi.

When he opened the scroll, the contents made him smile.

"Lord Ivy Crane, as a friend of House Stark, I will lead my army to support you, and if Tywin Lannister attacks Harrenhal, I will attack from behind. Also, please take care of your little sister. - Robb Stark. ”

The message delivered by Robb made Li Lingyi breathe a sigh of relief, and he was vaguely worried that Robb would be his enemy.

It's not impossible, after all, Robb has always had some thoughts about Harrenhal before, but he doesn't have much chance, but now he was suddenly taken by Li Lingyi, and it is impossible to have a little mustard in his heart. But now it seems that he still cares about the overall situation, of course, it may be because Arya is here, so he has to say so.

But in any case, with Robb's support, the pressure on Li Lingyi is a little less, but according to the current plot progress......

I guess Robb won't be able to last long.

Li Ling thought about it, because Theon should be in the Iron Islands during this time, maybe he had already begun to lead people towards Winterfell, which was also a tragedy, and he couldn't stop it, because the current Robb didn't believe that Theon would betray him at all, so even if he told him, he wouldn't believe it, and maybe he would think that he was stirring up a relationship between the two.

And once Theon takes Winterfell, Robb's tragedy begins in earnest, as a bloody wedding awaits him.

For this matter, Li Ling thought that if he could, he would definitely stop it, no matter what way he looked at it, Robb's death would do him more harm than good. In terms of emotion, he and Robb also have a little friendship. In terms of interests, once Robb dies, it means that the northern resistance forces are almost completely destroyed, which will only allow the Lannister family to sit on the Iron Throne, which is the last thing Li Lingyi wants to see.

Think about it, once Robb, the biggest enemy, is dead, then the Lannisters only need to defeat Stannis again, and the throne will basically be secured. And Stannis is undoubtedly defeated in Li Lingyi's opinion, although the Red Witch helped him kill his brother Lan Li, but it is still a piece of mud that can't support the wall, and there is no king's weapon.

And old Frey's old pervert is really despicable and sinister enough, but his location in Twin River City is quite good, sitting on the Three Forks River, from north to south or from south to north, a large number of people and horses must borrow the bridge of Twin River City if they want to travel quickly. And Frey also charges tolls every time, like Robb was able to pass because he promised several titles and wanted to marry a girl from Frey's family.

So if you have the chance, you can snatch the Twin Rivers City over, after all...

Li Ling suddenly realized what he was thinking when he thought about it, and shook his head, his appetite seemed to have grown even bigger since he took Harrenhal. But now is not the time to think about this, only by getting through the current crisis can we be qualified to think about other things.

Time passed little by little, and it was nearly ten o'clock in the evening when Tywin's army finally arrived, and the soldiers standing guard immediately sounded the horn of vigilance.
