"How many casualties?"

Li Lingyi looked at Soros next to him while helping the anti-wounded soldiers, who raised his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead, and said: "More than three hundred! Basically, the shield was pierced and killed by the steel spear shot by the giant crossbow!" He had a wry smile on his lips, "Ive, this giant crossbow is really powerful, we can't stop it at all." ”

"More than three hundred, more than three hundred. Li Lingyi muttered and bowed down to place the wounded soldier on the grass blanket, and several women next to him suddenly walked over with gauze, "Lord Ivey, he will hand it over to us." ”

"Good. ”

Li Ling nodded, during this time, many women under his command were learning medical skills from Gavin Alcott, of course, it is impossible to learn medical skills in a short period of time, but some of them have been mastered by simple bandaging, and now they can be used to take care of wounded soldiers, which can be regarded as making a lot of contributions.

"Thankfully Tywin stopped, otherwise in less than an hour, our men would have had to finish a third of the fight. Soros said again at this time, his face was ugly, "These Lannisters are really dead." ”

"It doesn't matter, they hurt us several times. Li Ling wiped his bloodstained face and ordered: "While Tywin is temporarily retreating, you go to the soldiers to rest first, but the armor bow can't leave your hand." Tell them that if you hold on a little longer, reinforcements will arrive!"

Soros hesitated for a moment, as if he wanted to ask something, but he nodded and strode towards the city wall.

Robb, Robb, it's time for your reinforcements to arrive, too.

Li Ling turned his head and looked in the direction of Rushing City, if Robb had sent troops since he received the letter crow, the army should have arrived by now. But now it seems that it is possible to wait a little longer, or it is possible that there will be no troops at all.

It's better to be the former, Li Ling thought for a while, if there were no reinforcements, maybe he could hold on, but at the cost of the 2,000 soldiers who had been gathered with great difficulty, all the troops were wiped out. It wasn't what he wanted to see, but it could only be so if there was no way back.

Outside the city, Tywin stood tall, his eyes shining with thought.

In just twenty minutes, he lost more than 2,000 men, already one-sixth of the entire army. It's heart-wrenching. If the two armies of the plains were to hedge, his two thousand men would be able to destroy three thousand, or even five thousand, ordinary troops!

But now most of them are not dead by swords and guns, but burned to death by asphalt gold juice, or pushed by the ladder and falling from the air. Or he was thrown down and didn't die, but he was trampled to death by his own people. In short, it was a mess, and the dead were quite a wreck.

And after such a battle, the morale of the Lannister army was also quite frustrated. I thought it would be easy to take the castle, which was guarded by a group of outcasts, but now that so many brothers have died, that faith is not so sufficient.

Tywin saw this and ordered the army to retreat. And it's not just a morale issue, he never doubted that Harrenhal would not be able to take it, but he was weighing the pros and cons. Is it worth exchanging half the lives of Lannister's elite soldiers for Harrenhal?

Tywin hesitated, but a soldier rushed in with a letter crow and handed the note to Tywin, who opened it and shook his wrist three times.

"My lord, let's fight again!"

At this time, his generals also came over one after another in armor and blood, asking for another battle, "We will definitely be able to defeat it!

"That's right!

"My lord, I see that the garrison has run out of gas, and if we attack again, we will definitely be able to capture this Harrenhal, and..."

"That's it!"

Tywin interrupted in a deep voice, "There's no time to take care of Harrenhal now! King's Landing... It's in a time of stake!"

"King's Landing?!" several of the generals were shocked when they heard this, and Tywin continued, "Stannis Baratheon has already led tens of thousands of troops to King's Landing, and those golden robes won't be able to stop it for long!"

"Once King's Landing falls—" Tywin was silent for a moment, and the others were silent, needless to say, everyone understood what the consequences would be.

"Anyway, I can't take care of Harrenhal now!" Tywin decided, "Tell the whole army to retreat, turn around and march towards King's Landing, and gather your armaments as you go!"

As soon as this order was issued, all the generals were extremely unwilling, as Lannisters, they have almost always won battles, how could they be so defeated today? The armies of the various big families were not afraid, but they were blocked outside the city by a group of displaced people, which was really a great shame.

But no one dared to disobey Tywin's orders. Moreover, they knew that Tywin was the angriest person compared to them, so they didn't dare to say anything more, and they all agreed to leave the camp.

After they left, Tywin angrily swung his sword and slashed over the long table in the tent, his calm bearing no longer existed, and his eyes were full of fierce light.

"Ivy Crane," Tywin whispered, a few green veins popping out of the back of his hand, "Lannister, you have to pay your debts......"

The Lannisters began to retreat, a move that immediately attracted the attention of the soldiers on the city walls, who cheered.

"Haha! They've retreated!"

"Neither Lannister can beat us!"

"Lord Ivey is amazing! Harrenhal is ours!"

Everyone hugged each other excitedly and cried and laughed, everyone had already held the determination to die, and they all wanted to fight a few more before they died, but they didn't expect that the peak turned around, and their group of homeless people actually forced the Lannister, the first family in the mainland, to retreat, which is really a strange thing that no one can imagine.

"Why did Tywin retreat? shouldn't it?" Unlike the cheers of ordinary soldiers, several generals were not so happy. Berry muttered, "It can't be some conspiracy, right?"

"I think so. Soros nodded, "How could this old thing, Tywin, retreat so easily?

"Maybe he had to retreat. As soon as Li Ling said loudly, he didn't elaborate, because he couldn't be sure. But now that Tywin had retired, he was relieved.

As for Robb's reinforcements, they arrived nearly two hours after Tywin had withdrawn, and there were about 5,000 of them.

"Robb, this kid... What's the use of coming now?"

"What now? I see what they mean... I want to go into the city. ”

"Into the city?"

Li Lingyi frowned slightly, he glanced at Soros and Berry, "You should be the same as I think." ”

"Yes. The two of them nodded and laughed, "You can't let them in this city, maybe we won't be beaten down by the Lannisters, but ......."

"That's right, let people turn them down. Li Lingyi said that he couldn't take even the slightest risk now, if Robb's five thousand people entered the city, then this Harrenhal would not necessarily be anyone's.

After all, love is love, but who can trust the other party 100%, besides, the support came so late, whether it was sincere or not, or whether it was to fish in troubled waters and pick up leaks, Li Lingyi is still uncertain.
