Chapter 500: Quarrel
Harrenhal.
Soros looked up at the slightly lit sky, straightened his face, and raised his hand to complete the armor on his body.
It's been a day since the Northern Coalition has started, and it's time for him to go.
As Li Lingyi said before, the soldiers he led were the reserve army in the city, although these people had undergone little combat training, they were all young, and they had a ruthless and hard work in their bones, and they all wanted to make meritorious contributions.
So Soros didn't worry too much, he was sure that he could take these people to take Kaiyan City and make a huge contribution to pacifying the south. After all, he is actually the same as these young people, and he also longs for meritorious service in his heart.
Although he is now the "second-in-command" of the Wuqi family, Li Lingyi has always been extremely suppressive in all aspects, and there will be no problems with him in both internal affairs and military affairs. So Soros himself has always been a little depressed, and now the opportunity has come.
As long as he succeeds in taking Kaiyan City, then his credit will undoubtedly be the greatest, so that he will have more prestige in the family, rather than just sitting in this position by virtue of seniority.
"My lord, everything is ready to go!" "My lord, my soldiers came to report, Soros nodded and waved his hand, "Let's go!"
The army gathered at the gate of the city, all of them were young and vigorous young men, they were not too rigid in etiquette, and when they saw Soros coming out, they immediately opened their mouths to ask questions.
"My lord, who are we going to fight?"
"Are you going to King's Landing?"
"Are we going to Patriarch Ive?"
These soldiers are all on departure, but they still don't know where to shoot whom, which is also a deliberate act by Soros, for fear that telling the news in advance will leak out.
So until now, he didn't say anything, but said, "You just follow me, and you'll know when you arrive!"
As he spoke, Soros turned his head to look at Harrenhal, and he was actually a little panicked.
Take these 15,000 people away, and there will only be some internal guards left in Harrenhal, these people are less than a thousand, although they are all elites, but once someone leads a large army to attack, I am afraid that this Harrenhal will have to fall.
And this also made Soros secretly sigh in his heart, if he sat in Li Lingyi's position, he would never dare to take this risk, and would rather put all possibilities on the frontal battlefield than attack Kaiyan City for such a long distance.
Because the frontal battlefield is lost, the big deal is that you can return to Harrenhal, and if you develop well for a while, it may not be able to get back. But now that the whole army is sent out, there is no room left, and if there is an accident, it will be a complete loss.
This courage Soros does not have, rather not now. To be honest, since the Flagless family has grown bigger and bigger, his courage has become smaller and smaller.
As the saying goes, the barefoot are not afraid to wear shoes, and when he was a free mercenary in the Brotherhood without Flags in his early years, he was not afraid of heaven and earth. But now that the Flagless Family is dominant in the Hejian Land and has amazing power, he has become a little timid, for fear that he has done something wrong and caused the family to decline.
And now Li Lingyi has handed over to him this task, which can be said to be related to the life and death of the family, which can be regarded as a re-stimulation of his courage. Soros also understands this, so he also intends to do his best to take Kaiyan City, only in this way can he repay that trust.
Back in the south, after a cavalry hedge in the middle of the night last night, the two sides did not attack again. After all, if the infantry were fighting together, they wouldn't even be able to distinguish between the enemy and us, and they didn't know how many friendly troops they would kill by mistake, so they would camp on the spot.
Until dawn, they can see each other clearly.
In terms of numbers, the two sides were almost equal, and the camp tents were set up in thousands, which were unobstructed on the plain, and were about a thousand meters apart from each other, and the distance was very close, as long as one side was willing to attack, it would be able to meet each other at once.
At this time, Li Ling got up in the morning and ate something casually, then came to the front and looked at the camp tent opposite. Compared with the Northern Coalition Army, it is obvious that Old Tywin is better at field warfare, and the layout of the camp tent is also more elegant, faintly a recessed semicircle, which is very practical.
In this way, once the Northern Coalition forces are killed, then they can strategically retreat, and then use the camp tent as a basis to besiege and kill the soldiers who are deep in the depths. Looking at the northern coalition army again, the camp tents are all level, seemingly neat but they can't echo each other, and it is actually unfavorable to fight.
If you accumulate more of this kind of detail, it will affect the outcome of a battle. So Li Lingyi just wanted to say something, but there was a violent quarrel behind him.
"I've said it all! Torture is not allowed within the coalition!"
"You know what? There is a saying in our family that there are no secrets for those who are naked. ”
"This is not your family territory! I warn you......"
The quarrel became more and more intense, and Li Ling turned his head to look, only to see Ian of the Erin family arguing with Rams of the Burton family, which sounded like something about the captivity.
At this time, it seemed that neither of the two could convince each other, so they came to find Li Lingyi.
"Ivey, you'll have to deal with this. Ian said in a deep voice, with a cold face, "Last night we captured three enemy knights, and Rams is going to interrogate them all." As a result, when I saw it this morning, all three of them had been tortured to death. ”
“……”
Li Lingyi frowned and looked at Rams, who immediately retorted and looked at Ian sarcastically, "This Lord Ian, I think you must first understand that these people are our enemies, and they are the ones who want to kill us. Shall we feed and drink well to the enemy, and send them back?"
"They're enemies, yes!, but we don't torture our captives!" Ian snapped, "It's a matter of principle, and it's about basic respect for people!"
"Haha-" Rams grinned when he heard this, his expression a little crazy, and his eyes were full of sarcasm, "Respect? I'm sorry, I only know that the enemy is meant to be killed, otherwise it is we who will be killed." Also, you respect your enemies so much, do they know that, if Tywin knew, he might have invited you over as a good friend. ”
"You!"
Seeing that the conflict between the two was about to escalate again, Li Lingyi had no choice but to speak out: "Torture... I really don't need it. We don't need this method to get the information we want. ”
"Really?" Rams was a little dismissive when he heard this, "maybe, but my method is the fastest way, and there is ......" He paused, looking at Ian, with a smirk, "Lord Ian, I don't see anything in return for your respect. But my torture... But I got several pieces of important information...... Tell me, don't you want to know what this information is?"
