Chapter 498: More Important Things

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

As soon as Li Ling's words fell, Soros's eyes suddenly widened, his whole body was stunned, and his speech became a little stammering, "Kai, Kaiyan City, Kaiyan City, the Lannister's old nest, Kaiyan City?!"

"Why, don't you dare?"

"Who said I wouldn't dare!" Soros shouted, his eyebrows raised, his hands on his waist, and he said in confusion: "It's just that our 20,000 soldiers have thrown themselves into the coalition army, do you want to draw out some of them?"

Li Lingyi shook his head, "Have you forgotten, do we still have a reserve army of fifteen thousand?" ”

Reserves?!

Soros was shocked and speechless for a while.

As the name suggests, this reserve army is a reserve, and it has not undergone any high-intensity military training at all, and if they are used to fight, then what will be used to defend the city?

Li Lingyi naturally knew what Soros was thinking, and he said softly: "Once the two coalition forces are fighting, they must be in a state of adhesion, and it is not so easy to distinguish the winner in a short period of time. At this time, a sudden army rushed to attack Kaiyan City, and the enemy was difficult to predict. ”

Saying that, Li Lingyi looked to the south from afar, and continued: "Eagle Eye has sent back the news, Kaiyan City is now less than two thousand defenders, and Old Tywin has also taken out his blood capital, wanting to finish his work in one battle and wipe out all the living forces of our six major families in one fell swoop. ”

"Actually, to be honest, do you think the coalition can win? As soon as Li Ling finished speaking, Soros suddenly showed a shocked look, as if he didn't expect him to say this.

"Although I was confident at the coalition meeting and said as if I had won, in fact, we were not much more numerous. And most importantly, these 60,000 people are compatible in appearance but not necessarily in heart. There is no way to be like the Southern army, which is almost entirely controlled by Old Tywin. ”

"That's why I said what you do is more important. Li Lingyi looked at Soros with a serious expression, "Because from the beginning, I didn't plan that the coalition forces could defeat the other side head-on, and the best case scenario was that the two sides were in a stalemate." And your raid is the difference between victory and defeat. ”

"The reason why the coalition forces are making such a big deal is also to make old Tywin feel that we have pressed everything on the frontal battlefield, so he also transferred his family background, so even if they find out that you have led people to sneak attack, it will be too late to return to defense. As long as Kaiyan City is captured, the enemy's morale will definitely be greatly reduced, and there may be a chance to win the frontal battlefield at that time. ”

After Li Ling finished speaking, Soros had already recovered from the previous shock, and he had to admit that he had not thought about this plan at all, and his patriarch had not only deceived the enemy and allies, but even his own people...... It's horrible.

"I see. Soros came back to his senses and realized how important his mission was, and it can be said that he almost decided the final course of this war.

It stands to reason that such an important battle should be commanded by Li Lingyi himself, but it is obvious that if he does not appear in the coalition forces, then Tywin will definitely be suspicious, and with the old fox's astthenity, he may immediately think of the surprise attack.

So this matter can only be left to Soros, although he usually giggles, but he is still quite unambiguous when it comes to fighting, so Li Ling is also very relieved.

"Don't tell anyone about it. Li Lingyi said again, "Wait for our coalition forces to open for a day before you act, remember to be fast, don't bring baggage." ”

"Don't worry, Ivey. Soros said solemnly: "I will let the army only bring three days' rations, and I will definitely take Kaiyan City as soon as possible." ”

Li Ling nodded when he heard this, three days is about the same, and the frontal battlefield will almost be able to hold on for so long. After all, the Lower South did not have a city before King's Landing, and both sides fought against each other in the wilderness, and it couldn't last too long.

After talking to Soros about some details, Li Lingyi began to go to the coalition camp, and after a few days, the soldiers of various families had already cooperated to a certain extent.

Moreover, Li Lingyi also specially dispersed the soldiers of each family, and did not let all the families get together, this move also caused some opposition, but Li Lingyi still carried it out strongly.

To be honest, he wasn't sure if any of the six major families had been bought by the Lannisters, such as the Bolton family, and if they suddenly broke out at the outbreak of war, the damage to the coalition would be absolutely devastating if they got together.

Therefore, Li Lingyi was all dispersed and divided into small groups, so that even if someone rebelled, they would be quickly killed by the soldiers of other families in the group, which was also a clear order given by Li Lingyi.

Of course, it will not be said which family is a traitor, Li Lingyi just said that there may be spies mixed in the army, and if someone finds out, they can be killed directly, and there is no need to report to their superiors. There is no reason for other families to disagree with this, because once they disagree, it is equivalent to saying that there are spies among their own family's soldiers.

So the army was ready and officially began to march.

There were more than 50,000 people in total, marching along King's Road in a neat line, without worrying about an ambush, because there were cavalry scouts sent out at any time, and it was almost impossible to avoid the scouts' reconnaissance in such an unobstructed plain terrain.

Besides, it's okay to ambush a small army, in the face of tens of thousands of troops laying an ambush, it's useless if there are fewer people, and there are too many people to ambush, so they don't bother to toss and directly confront them head-on.

And when the Northern Coalition Army marched, Stannis, who was located in the southernmost part, also began to set off with 10,000 troops, and the two sides planned to form a flanking situation to encircle the Southern Coalition Army.

At this point, the war related to the fate of the mainland has officially begun, and the results of the alliance between the north and the south will directly affect the ownership of the Iron Throne, and also symbolize that the war that began with the rebellion of the five kings is finally coming to an end.

No one knows who will win the final victory, and all the families are waiting and seeing, and if any side shows weakness, they will immediately show their allegiance to the winning side, as has been the case since ancient times.

In front of King's Landing, Tywin was in good spirits, but his old face was full of excitement, he looked at the elite soldiers in front of him, and knew that this would be the biggest war he would ever experience in his life, so he would do his best to fight this battle for the sake of his family.

"Father, are you leaving?" asked Jaime beside him, dressed in bright silver and white armor with the Lannister crest embroidered on it. The handsome face is also full of ambition, determined to defeat Li Lingyi to avenge the humiliation of the last big defeat.

"Let's go!"
