I have to say that James's algorithm is still very good, but unfortunately, his number is too conservative. One out of ten bows and arrows can be shot? This is provided that the defense work is not bad, so that rows of people stupidly stand on the head of the city as targets.

Any ancient war, whether Eastern or Western, is not stupid. For this kind of arrow attack thrown from the city, they all have their own means of defense.

For example, the most basic armor, in fact, the ordinary armor itself is to protect against some "stray arrows". Really close to the spear or heavy sword, or the arrow is thrown at a high altitude, under the acceleration of gravity, the power is magnified a lot, and ordinary armor can't stop it at all.

Therefore, in ancient times, many "towers" would be built on some city walls, and these towers were designed to prevent projectiles, similar to pillboxes, leaving only a small opening for machine gun fire.

If you want to kill the enemy, you can only shoot an arrow into that small hole, but this is not easy to say, and it is a great test of eyesight, wind power, and arm strength. Therefore, there were very few sharpshooters in ancient times, and many times when encountering this kind of defense, the archers almost completely lost their lethality, leaving only a little deterrent.

And now Li Lingyi has also adopted this kind of defense, but what he has done is more concealed and more rudimentary, just using adobe to temporarily erect some "pillboxes".

This is also a helpless move, after all, time is in a hurry, if he is given three months, then he can definitely build Harrenhal without leaking. But now that things are in a hurry, he can only "save as quickly as possible".

Seeing the Lannister archers approaching, the soldiers of the walls also hid in the bunkers, and Jaime on the other side was also angry.

"These guys are like turtles!" Jaime was indignant, pacing back and forth, "and then they can only attack." ”

"No, the losses are too great now, and it will not necessarily succeed. The little devil immediately retorted.

"So what do you say?"

In the face of Jaime's inquiry, the little devil was also silent, he closed his eyes, thought for a moment, and suddenly his heart moved, and he opened his eyes suddenly.

"That's right!"

The little devil looked at his brother Jaime with a happy face, "Brother, you should know that Evie Crane secretly seized the Eagle's Nest City a few days ago, and put Lady Lysa and her son under house arrest, right?"

"Of course you know, what's wrong?" Jaime nodded, his expression a little gloomy, "It's all because Stannis is pretending to contain us, otherwise we would have come here to take Harrenhal!"

"Let's not talk about that. The little devil shook his head, "Now the Valley Knights hate Ivy Crane to the core, but they have organized several attacks to no avail, with the terrain of Eagle's Nest City, it is impossible to capture it in a short time. ”

"What do you mean......"

"In the name of the Iron Throne, we can make the Valley Knights temporarily give up on retaking Eagle's Nest. Let them come here, come with us in the siege of Harrenhal!" the little devil said and laughed, "I'm sure they'll say yes." ”

Jaime was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then his eyes lit up, and he exclaimed, "Yes, let the Valley Knights come together, so ......"

Thinking about this, Jaime immediately ordered the whole army to retreat, and then returned to the camp and began to write.

The little devil looked at Harrenhal from afar and whispered, "Evie Crane, I don't know what else you can do now......

The Knights of the Vale, as soldiers of the Arryn family, never participated in the "Rebellion of the Five Kings". This means that their forces are the most intact preserved! At least in the tens of thousands.

If these tens of thousands of people temporarily abandon Eagle's Nest City and all come here to besiege Harrenhal with the Lannisters, the people in the castle will definitely be under great pressure. This may even make some people feel like they will defect, and they may even win without a fight!

This is not an exaggeration, people are sometimes more afraid of stress than death, the greater the pressure, the more fragile the nerves, once the string breaks, then it is possible to do anything.

At this time, on the city wall, Li Lingyi looked at the retreating army, and he was also a little puzzled for a while. He felt that at this time, he should attack a wave, not to mention taking it, but at least he should test the defensive strength, instead of giving up after a few crossbow shots missed.

Is there any other scheme?

Li Ling thought about it, and then shook his head, he couldn't think of any possibility, but he could only order the whole army not to relax in the slightest, and then he came to a room in the inner fort.

It was a secret room, and there were only about twenty people in the entire city of Harrenhal who were eligible to enter, and the vast majority of them were workers.

As soon as he entered, there was a large hole in the middle of the house, about the width of several people, and he walked over and went into the hole, and in front of him was a passage nearly 100 meters away, and at the end there were four or five workers shoveling soil with shovels.

This is a tunnel excavation that Li Lingyi secretly carried out a few days ago, digging directly from the inner fort to a wasteland outside the city, which can be regarded as a hole card with both offense and defense.

When this tunnel is dug up, thousands of people can be transported out in a very short time, and it can completely surprise the enemy, which is an attack. And if something goes wrong and Harrenhal faces the dilemma of losing it, then this is an escape tunnel.

I have to say that only a few people know about the existence of this tunnel, in order to make most people fight with the will to die, once it is really impossible to do anything, then it is not too late to talk about the existence of this secret passage.

But it's not dug up yet. When he came to the end, several workers immediately nodded respectfully to him, and he also asked how long it would be, and several people looked at each other and gave him five days.

It's not too long and it's not too short, after all, you can't make a big deal in the case of secrecy, so the progress has been delayed a lot. Li Lingyi gave a command, and then returned to the ground.

With this tunnel guarantee, there is at least a way back, but it really can't be done, so Li Lingyi simply left with his living force and fled to Eagle's Nest City. Of course, that step was the last step, and if he really had to do this, it was estimated that there would be a lot of death in the city, which he never wanted to see.

As soon as he came out at this time, Soros found Li Lingyi and asked, "I think there seems to be a problem!

"Well... I know, but I don't have a clue. Li Lingyi said, "At this time, it is definitely not possible to send someone to investigate." ”

"Then why are we waiting?"

"Wait, whatever they do, we'll move on. Li Lingyi said, "Wait for two days, if there is still no movement, then we will see it then." ”

"Oh well. Soros nodded, glanced at the room behind him, and asked, "Authentic...... Digging it through?"

"At least five days. ”

"Tsk, I really don't want to use this tunnel......"

"That's what I thought, too. ”
