Chapter 512: The Victory and Defeat Have Been Divided
Tywin......
Li Ling's heart moved, the cavalry just now wanted to kill him, in order to capture the thief and capture the king first. But now he also has this opportunity, once he captures or kills Tywin, even if the Southern Coalition forces are not defeated instantly, their morale will definitely drop to the freezing point, and defeat is inevitable.
And now that Tywin was less than five hundred meters away from him, he only needed to defeat a few dozen heavy cavalry to get to him.
With such a simple choice, Li Ling made a decision in an instant.
He shouted loudly, and rushed forward directly on his horse, the heavy cavalry in front of him was basically vulnerable, and of course the enemy found that he could not hurt him, so he moved towards his horse.
After all, the horse does not have protective soft armor and magic dragon suits, and even if it has armor, it will not work if it takes a few hits. However, Li Ling had been prepared early in the morning, and when the horse under him was about to fall to the ground weakly, he jumped up suddenly, kicked a heavy cavalryman in the chest in mid-air, kicked it off the horse, and then sat directly on his horse and continued to rush in!
Such a radical charge naturally attracted the attention of Tywin behind him, and he also saw Li Lingyi's plan, and a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes, but as he rushed deeper and deeper, his expression also became a little stunned.
"Poofโ"
A shot pierced the heavy cavalry blocking the way in front of him, and at this time, Li Lingyi was less than a hundred meters away from Old Tywin, and the latter was also a little panicked. He didn't expect this kid to be so capable of fighting, it was already inhuman. In this case, if he rushes to the front......
Tywin thought carefully for two seconds, then pulled the reins of his horse, turned his horse's head and charged back, throwing down the phrase, "Stop him!"
Depend on!
Li Ling, who was in the back, couldn't help but curse in his heart when he saw this, originally he thought that Tywin was the kind of person who was more rigid and would choose to face him head-on. But now it seems that the latter is still more stable and does not take the slightest risk. Now that he was running backwards, Li Lingyi couldn't catch up at all, so he could only watch Tywin run farther and farther.
With a helpless sigh, Li Ling also turned around to break out of the encirclement, this kind of encirclement was nothing to him, and at this time, his own side had already rushed over, scattering a lot of heavy cavalry, and also allowing him to escape from the encirclement relatively easily.
Pulling the reins and stopping, Li Lingyi looked around, first of all, the three thousand people in the Iron Islands had almost been wiped out, but the Lannister's heavy cavalry also crashed into the Northern Alliance in a detour. Although the Northern Coalition also sent cavalry to hedge, the effect was still worse, so there were many casualties in one round.
On the other hand, on the Lannister's side, if there was no division of troops to deal with Stannis, maybe this wave of heavy cavalry charging down, combined with the infantry rush, would be able to inflict heavy damage on the Northern Alliance. But now that the infantry is not enough, it does not take much advantage, but because after the soldiers of the Iron Islands are eliminated, they fall into the situation of being flanked from the front and rear.
At this time, it seemed that Tywin had given some order, and the whole army of the Southern Army began to move eastward, as if they still wanted to leave the battlefield, Li Ling also asked the soldiers to chase and kill a little when he saw this, and then retreated to rest.
In fact, Ian and Edmure both wanted to continue the pursuit at this time, but Li Ling saw that the state of his soldiers was already on the verge of the limit, and if he continued to fight, there was a great risk of collapse, so he still refused strongly.
In this way, there is nothing the two can do, after all, it was decided at the beginning of the meeting that only Li Lingyi, Robb and Stannis could command the coalition forces, and Stannis was still on the other side at this time, and Robb led people to chase down Theon who escaped, so only Li Lingyi was left.
So they can only follow his orders.
At this time, as the Southern Army moved eastward, Stannis's soldiers no longer pursued, but came from the west to the Northern Alliance, allowing the two armies to make peace.
"I'm sorry I'm late. โ
As soon as Stannis arrived, he immediately apologized to several generals, Edmure wanted to be angry, but Li Lingyi took the lead and said with a smile: "It's just the right time, if we arrive a little late, we will be wiped out." โ
"......" Stannis was a little embarrassed when he heard this, and raised his hand not knowing what to say.
"What's the matter, King's Landing isn't that easy to fight, is it?" Li Lingyi asked again, obviously, this was teasing Stannis, who was a little dissatisfied when he heard this, but because he ignored it first, he could only nod, "Indeed... It's not good to fight. โ
There is no doubt that Stannis was late because he was going to fight King's Landing with a large army. He thought that Tywin had left with his army, so King's Landing had become empty, and he wanted to take advantage of the battle between the two armies to defeat the royal city in advance, and then directly become the new king himself.
But he never imagined that even in Tywin's absence, he would not be able to defeat King's Landing. On the one hand, there were more people defending the city than he thought, and on the other hand, the preparations for defending the city were also very sufficient. As soon as he began to give the order for a strong attack, he lost nearly 2,000 soldiers in less than ten minutes, and as a result, he was so frightened that he immediately withdrew, and if he continued to fight, he would have to be completely annihilated.
So in desperation, he had no choice but to make peace with the coalition forces, so he hurried over, for fear that the coalition forces had been wiped out by Tywin. Fortunately, he arrived in time, which can be regarded as a great contribution, which can also make him get a little less harsh, at least that's what he thinks.
But in fact, if it weren't for Stannis's arrival, the Northern Coalition would definitely have suffered heavy losses, and although it would not be defeated, it would definitely have to throw a lot of corpses behind and retreat. There is no way, the combat power is really not comparable, and in this kind of unobstructed plain, there is nothing to use to defeat the strong with the weak.
Therefore, although everyone was dissatisfied with Stannis, they did not say it explicitly, and at this time, several crows suddenly flew in the sky, some of them landed in the Southern Army, and some of them fell in the Northern Army.
Stretching out his hand to let one fall on his palm, Li Lingyi took down the note tied to his foot, tore it open and looked at it, and immediately showed a smile and looked up at everyone, "We won this war." โ
โฆโฆ
"This, this ......"
Tywin looked at the note in his hand, only to feel the blood in his chest surge, his brain went blank, and his strong body became trembling slightly.
"Are you alright?!" the guard next to him immediately came to help, but was kicked away by Tywin, and he said angrily, "Get out!!!"
"Adult ......"
Tywin's eyes were red and his body was shaking, and he left the note on the table, then slammed his sword into it!
There was a click, and the paper cracked in half along with the table.
Seeing this, none of them dared to speak, and their breathing became cautious. After three minutes of silence, Tywin finally spoke slowly with a grim expression.
"Kaiyan City...... Lost. โ
