Chapter 464: Return (II)

King's Landing.

In the Red Fort, the faces of the people surrounding the Iron Throne are not very good-looking.

Without Joffrey, Tywin, Cersei, Jaime, and Tyrion looked at each other, and the little devil was the first to speak, "Why are we here to play the game of Wooden Man? ”

"Sleep?" Cersei scoffed, "Looks like Littlefinger's brothel is going to have another bed vacated." ”

"Yes, I have to say that the beds there are very comfortable, and someone will bring a glass of sake in the morning. The little devil was not annoyed at all, and said with a smile: "I really have the idea of moving here, but people are not allowed to rent ...... for a long time."

"Alright!" Tywin interrupted the two of them with a low snort, and he sat down directly on the Iron Throne, glaring, "When are you still noisy, can't you let me save some snacks!"

“……”

The two were silent, and Tywin looked at James, who was the child he valued and most hoped, "James, what do you think about Harrenhal?"

"Father, I think it's better to take it back as soon as possible. Jaime said that after a series of battles, his temperament became a little calmer, "and the longer it dragged on, the more secure Ivy Crane's position became." ”

"That's what I thought, too. Tywin nodded in satisfaction, "Ivy Crane, this man has damaged our family's honor several times, and a mere commoner dares to establish a family and occupy our family territory, and he must be killed." ”

"Father, are you going to send troops yourself?" asked Cersei.

"Jaime, I'm going to let you go. Tywin looked at Jaime, "Give you 30,000 troops, are you confident?"

Jaime was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and frowned slightly, "Father, now that we have just finished fighting Stannis, if we start a war again, the soldiers may have some objections." ”

"I didn't let you go right now. Tywin said, "Give you ten days to take command of your men." Then take Tyrion to take Harrenhal down. ”

"I, I'm going too?" the little devil was a little surprised, Tywin glanced at him, and said flatly, "What, don't you want to help your brother?"

"Of course not. The little devil shook his head, "I just think that such a glorious and great mission should not fall on me." There are royal knights out of the horse, and it is not easy to deal with Ivy Crane. ”

"He's not an easy enemy to deal with. Tywin sneered, "I know you're clever, but that kid is a ghost, and if you're careless, you might fall for his tricks." ”

"Really? I'm kind of looking forward to it. The little devil pouted and said that although he and Ivy Crane had met, they didn't know much about it, so he didn't think the latter was very smart.

"Father, what about the wolf cubs of the north?" Cersei asked, and Tywin smiled contemptuously, "Robb, that idiot, didn't even know that his nest had been taken. Don't worry, now he has no time to take care of himself, and going south is just a joke. ”

"But...... I heard that he knocked down the Twin River City......"

"Leave that alone. Tywin decided, "Harrenhal is the most important thing, Robb doesn't have the troops to stay in the Twin Cities, as long as we want to take it, it will only be a matter of days." The most important thing now is to destroy the Flagless Family, as long as this name exists, the honor of our family will be humiliated for one day. ”

“…… I understand. ”

……

Time passed day by day, and a week has passed in the blink of an eye.

Because the original intention of the Flagless Family is everyone's family, the sense of belonging of civilians is stronger, and they are also high-spirited to work, and they completed the work that Berry originally planned for half a month in seven days.

As far as the eye can see, nearly one-third of the buildings in Harrenhal have been demolished and replaced by some military buildings, and the arrow tower alone has increased by seven or eight. Each one is inlaid with an iron shield developed by Li Lingyi before, inlaid in wood, which can completely resist the arrows attacking from the front.

And since the last time Tywin attacked the city, Li Lingyi realized the technological gap between himself and the enemy.

That's right, it's the giant ballista, Li Lingyi was really frightened at that time, if it wasn't one, but two, three or four, then the castle would definitely have been breached at that time.

This is the power of scientific and technological suppression, so Li Lingyi also found a group of generals some time ago to discuss the method of confrontation, it is conceivable that the next time the Lannister army comes to attack, a lot of giant crossbows will definitely be prepared, and it will not be able to defend it with a shield at that time.

For this problem, Soros put forward a suggestion, that is, to master the skills of the master to control the enemy. Since that giant crossbow is powerful, then you can't do it yourself.

Of course, it's easy to say that it's easy to make a man, this level of craftsmanship is impossible for ordinary carpenters and blacksmiths to make, craftsmanship is one thing, drawings are another, and you can't build it without drawings.

However, Soros is also shrewd, and when he was on the mainland in his early years, he also made a lot of friends and some connections, so he started to look around. On the other hand, Li Lingyi also gathered some carpenters according to his own memories and began to make catapults.

After all, he had been in the Dynasty Warriors world for more than half a year, and he knew a little about the equipment in that world, so he also remembered some details about the catapult, although not a lot, but he always remembered most of them. Coupled with the trial and error of the carpenters again and again, it was finally developed.

Up to now, there were a total of five catapults in the city, all of which were kept in strict secrecy in the inner fort, and only a few high-ranking generals knew about it. Even if this is a hole card, it will be able to counterattack when the Lannisters attack in the future.

As for other aspects, the city wall has also been extensively reinforced, and the city gate has been thickened by two more layers. This level is almost enough, if this can still be broken through, it means that the guards are basically dead, and there is no point in the city gate not being opened.

However, it is worth mentioning that the 1,000 soldiers of the Fray family have almost all joined the Flagless Family sincerely, and as for some stubborn ones, they have all been disposed of. Originally, there was not much food, and Li Lingyi did not have the idea of raising prisoners.

So far, the defenders in the city have gathered almost 10,000 people, 80% of whom are civilians, and the combat effectiveness is worrying, but the defense of the city can still be done. The rest is the flagless army that has expanded to 2,000 people, which can be pulled to the plain to fight a little bit, after all, it is also necessary to go out of the city, and Li Lingyi is also thinking about whether to find a way to take the initiative to attack.
