Chapter 434: Situation

Then the action begins.

Now there are a total of sixty-four people in the Flagless Brotherhood, Li Ling is divided into sixteen squads, each squad has four people, and then each squad issued a hundred golden dragons, so that they can start recruiting people separately in the river, with the temptation of golden dragons, I believe that many poor mercenaries will join.

Moreover, Li Lingyi has no requirements for the people recruited, regardless of men, women and children, as long as they can still move, they will not refuse. Unlike those armies that only recruit young and middle-aged people, Li Lingyi, as a modern person, understands that family cohesion is the greatest.

If the family is together, then the young adults will fight harder to protect the other family members, and although some old people can't fight, their influence and experience are not comparable to the young people, not to mention that in some cases, the old people can even influence the battle situation more than the young people.

As for the possibility that there may be spies or people with bad intentions mixed in, this is also unavoidable in the early stage of large-scale recruitment, but Li Lingyi is also sure that he can find out this kind of person, so he is not too worried.

And the time of the operation is a week, and after a week, everyone will meet in the knees of the inn, as for Li Lingyi, he will not participate in the recruitment operation, he is ready to sneak into Harrenhal first to check the enemy situation, to see if there are any loopholes and the like, so that he can be more smooth when he captures the city in the future.

As for recruiting people, Li Lingyi felt that each team could bring back at least seven or eight people, so that there would be a total of almost two hundred people, and then another round, maybe it could be doubled again, and then there would be a scale of four or five hundred people, which was almost the limit.

After all, 60,000 golden dragons seem like a lot, but in fact, one more person is not enough to spend. After all, it's not just about feeding them, it's also about buying a set of armor and weapons, which is also a very large expense, much more expensive than having a full meal.

Moreover, Li Lingyi also wants to recruit some special talents, such as bachelors and doctors, without them, the power will definitely not last long. Because most of the poor mercenaries are illiterate at all, it is okay to fight in the short term, but they must not be so short-sighted, and in the long run, they must prepare early.

It's just that after thinking about it, Li Lingyi doesn't have a clue now, most of these political talents are in King's Landing, and it is impossible for him to get it in the short term, so he can only take it step by step.

The members who had been gathered together all day were scattered into small groups at this time, although their strength was weakened a lot, but at the same time, their camouflage was also improved, and the people in each group wore tattered old cloth clothes outside their armor, looking like a few poor mercenaries, and they couldn't attract anyone's attention at all.

But once they are discovered, those people are undoubtedly very dangerous, so this matter is also not a small risk, and Berry also asked Li Lingyi, but the latter still insisted on doing it. This period of time can be said to be the most precious, Tywin's army is busy destroying the Northern Army, the treasury of King's Landing is empty and cannot arm more troops, and the remaining ones are not at all afraid to move, for fear that the two brothers, Stannis Baratheon and Ranley Baratheon, will come to the city, after all, they are more justified in inheriting the throne than Joffrey.

A woman and her son who pretend to be crazy don't come out of Eagle's Nest City to watch others play bungee jumping all day long, and the pirates in the Iron Islands are thinking about how to take advantage of the emptiness of the north to play a game of money, in order to avenge Ed's defeat of them. The Tyrells, the Queen of Thorns, Little Rose, are busy marrying Lan Li, but sadly discover that the latter is gay.

It can be said that now all the big families are involved in this rebellion of the five kings, and the scene is also very chaotic. And chaos is easy to produce heroes, and it is easier to fish in troubled waters, so Li Lingyi must also hurry up, otherwise once the war is over, everyone will come to their senses, then he is a little mercenary who wants to toss any more wind and waves, but he can't move.

Finally, he told everyone to be careful, and then officially began to act in batches, and Li Lingyi also embarked on the steps of Harrenhal alone.

Along the way, you can see a lot of scrawny civilians lying in the wilderness, the land is dry and cracked, and there are scattered mercenaries passing by, and Li Lingyi is basically ignored, after all, the latter is also disguised at this time, wearing a tattered black coat all over his body, and a cheap iron helmet on his head, which is no different from any down-and-out mercenary.

Of course, there are some people who don't want to squeeze some oil and water out of him, but the result is that they are robbed of the only coins left on their bodies, and some even lose their lives.

It took an afternoon for Harrenhal's magnificent construction process to suddenly show in front of Li Lingyi.

The first to enter was the towers in the city that pierced into the sky, and whatever name Heron the Blackheart had given his tower, it had been worn out by time. They are now known as the Tower of Terror, the Tower of the Widow, the Tower of the Cry, the Tower of the Ghosts, and the Tower of the Burning King.

As the largest castle, the defense work is naturally good, especially now that this is also a front-line city, and it is only a day's trip from Robb Stark's Riverrun City, if the latter leads an army to attack, I am afraid that the army will be able to come to the city early tomorrow morning. That's why Tywin came here with his troops, hoping to destroy Robb's army around here.

But it should be still early, the real world is not like in film and television dramas, which is like the daily war, in fact, many people in reality have to be very cautious every time they fight, because it is likely that one battle can divide the victory or defeat of the entire war, after all, the total number of soldiers on each other is very small, which is not like the ancient Three Kingdoms period in China, when there were hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people fighting at every turn, just because there were many people. But in the world of power, there are not so many people in the Westeros continent, tens of thousands of people are already considered a great army! As for hundreds of thousands, I basically dare not think of it, unless all the families of the entire continent are combined, and the group of unsullied people or Dothraki people on the other side of the Narrow Sea can make it up.

Because of the reason for guarding Robb, now the entire castle is under martial law, and the gate is full of heavily armed soldiers, ordinary people must be interrogated if they want to enter, Li Lingyi is naturally impossible to go to the main gate, after all, there are too many "prohibited" items on his body, and his face can be recognized by many people.

After carefully observing the terrain, Li Lingyi searched for a long time and barely found a sneaking route, and then quietly hid under the hillside, quietly waiting for the sky to get dark, he was not willing to take risks easily without the cover of night.
