Chapter 448: Two Battlefields
Several people were taken down, and a group of generals began to prepare their men for the march, and Jimmy, as a general, although he was still a little hesitant at this time, still decided to fight. He couldn't let Ivy Crane escape anyway, because Tywin would be furious if he came, and he would be the one who was unlucky.
"Your Excellency, we're all set!"
The generals came to Jimmy, who looked at the crowd, looked up at the dark night, and nodded, "Okay, let's start marching now, prepare the rockets, and when we get closer, we will directly release the arrows to scare those mud legs!"
"Yes!"
Everyone gave orders one after another, and the army of 3,000 people immediately took action, and I have to say that in terms of neatness, it is much stronger than Li Lingyi's group, and it really can't be trained in a year or two. It took less than a kilometer to reach Harrenhal in a few minutes, and at this time, the city had already shouted that the army was coming, which also made Jimmy sneer.
"Shoot the arrows!"
Jimmy gave an order, and the archers in the back row immediately set up their bows and released arrows, and rockets lit up the sky one after another, like a meteor shower in the Heavenly Palace falling in Harrenhal, and at this time, there were also a burst of miserable sounds in the fort.
"Ahh
"It's on fire!
"The Lannisters are coming!
The shouts reached the outside of the fort, and Jimmy smiled, and he immediately had a few Harrenhal deserters brought to the door, and then asked him to persuade the people inside to surrender.
Several people glanced at each other, and they also began to stand at the gate of the city and shout loudly inside.
"Open the door! Lord Tywin has said that you will not die!"
"Hand over Ivy Crane!everyone will be fine!Don't die for him!!"
"Now there is a reward for surrendering, otherwise they will all be executed after the city is broken!"
Several people shouted very hard, and it soon had an effect, and everyone outside the city heard the noise and shouting near the city gate, and it was evident that there was a difference of opinion between the two groups. After a few moments, the sound slowly died down, replaced by a heavy stone door slowly rising.
It really works!
Jimmy looked at the raised city gate, and couldn't help but smile on his face, as long as he let his army enter the city and lose the guards of the city wall, it can be said that he can deal with this group of homeless waste, so that he will definitely receive a very big reward in the future.
He thought so, his men were even more fanatical than him, and their eyes were red at this time, and they sharpened their knives and guns, thinking that they could kill a few more when they rushed into the city gate later, and that they would be able to get a little more when they were rewarded for their meritorious deeds in the future. And I heard that Ivy Crane still has tens of thousands of golden dragons in the castle, if he can grab some......
"Boom!"
At this time, the stone had been completely opened, and several Harrenhal deserters rushed in first, as fast as rabbits, so that Jimmy and the others did not react. But then Jimmy yelled, "Everyone, rush in, kill all the outcasts, take back our territory!"
"Kill !!"
The earth-shattering shouts of killing sounded, and the Lannister soldiers frantically rushed into the fort, but the next moment they suddenly found that the commotion they had heard outside disappeared in an instant, and it was not the chaotic battle they thought it was at all, but on the two sides of the city wall, many people suddenly stood up, carrying barrels in their hands.
……
"My lord, the northerners have completely retreated into the city!"
Tywin heard the report of the front-line generals, looked at the corpses piled up at the city gate, and waved his hand, "Alright, let the strikers retreat, this battle is over." ”
"But my lord, we finally have to enter Riverrun, and if we retreat now......"
"Execute the command. Tywin's expression suddenly turned cold in the face of questioning, and his subordinates had to nod helplessly, turn around and run to give orders.
At this time, Robb in the city had already set up traps, and many heavily armed northern elite soldiers were lying on the ground, covering themselves with weeds, holding weapons in their hands, waiting for the enemy to rush in to besiege. But they saw that a few of the Lannister's soldiers had just rushed into the city, and then they stopped, and then immediately withdrew outward.
"My lord!
The guard immediately reported to Robb, who had seen it himself, his expression was shocked, his hands were subconsciously clenched, and his lips trembled slightly.
"My lord, should we chase?!"
“…… Don't chase!" Robb gritted his teeth and said, "Let the archers put arrows on the wall, and the others quickly sort out the corpses at the gate, and then close the city gate!"
"Yes!"
"Robb. At this time, Catherine also walked over, looking at the corpses all over the ground with a look of disapproval, "Tywin has seen through your plan?"
"Yes. Robb didn't want to admit it, but now it seemed clear that Tywin hadn't been fooled, resisted the temptation to siege the city, and made the best choice.
Robb sighed slightly, facing Tywin, an opponent who couldn't be avoided, the more difficult it was for him to deal with it. Just like today's sneak attack, Tywin did catch him off guard, and looking at the corpses piled up at the city gates, it was obvious that there were more northerners.
"After Tywin withdraws, he will probably attack Harrenhal. Robb said, "Right now..."
"Robb, do you want to say that you can't send troops to help?" Catherine caught her son's meaning and frowned, "What about Arya?
"Mother! I'm not saying that you can't support, but you can't go out immediately!" Robb was also a little embarrassed at this time, "There are so many casualties in this sudden situation, many people have not reacted, now we must first dispose of the corpse and appease the army!"
“……”
Catherine didn't say anything more, but turned around and left silently, Robb couldn't do anything, just frowned deeply, thinking about how to save the decline and how to explain the raid to the generals later.
After all, unlike Tywin's army, most of the troops led by Tywin are the private armies of the Lannisters, and only Tywin is the patriarch who is loyal to him. But Robb is different, there are not many private troops in his army who are only loyal to Stark, more than half of them are soldiers of various vassals, and some are pure allies, such as the hundreds of cavalry lent to Robb by the Freys, although they are loyal to Stark, but more loyal to their respective lords.
In this way, if there are heavy casualties, the vassals will definitely have an opinion, and if Robb does not handle it well, it is very likely to cause a split, and then the divided Northern Army will not be an opponent of the Lannisters.
So although Robb also cares about his little sister, he has to deal with the soldier's affairs first, and can only put his family's private affairs aside.
