Chapter 2: Duncan's Plan

Lynn had a hunch that her system might have been influenced by the gods of this world, which caused the summoning to fail.

Although the speculation was ethereal, it was only based on his intuition.

However, the next promotion level of the system is named after the inexplicable meaning of the origin of all things, and the sudden failure of the summoning system last night still made Lynn can't help but connect this series of things.

Lynn wasn't sure what the next system anomaly would be, and it would be terrible to face the same problem again at a critical moment.

However, if there is another large-scale explosion of troops, it is necessary to consider the supply of logistics.

The huge amount of new troops could drag down his supply lines, especially since the Essos had infiltrated the continent from the Narrow Sea, and he needed to face the pressure of fighting on multiple fronts.

But if he was asked to withdraw his army and gather all the armies in the Riverlands back to the north, Lynn was very reluctant, spending so much manpower and material resources to finally stir up peace in King's Landing for more than half a month, dragging down the main army of the Lannisters, and letting them stay outside King's Landing and stalemate with the church for so long.

Now that he has just crossed the main road of transportation in the riverland, he will soon take a key crossing, and there is no reason to spit it back.

Skinny Monkey informed Sir Duncan, who was still resting in the tent, of the latest news and the lord's plans.

Duncan quickly dressed up and hurried to meet Lynn before he left.

Duncan walked into the tent, and at a glance saw Lynn who was thinking with his head down, took two steps, stepped forward and knelt down with his sword in his hand, and said, "My lord, are you going back to the north?"

Lynn nodded, "Yes, the north is our base camp, and the main war supplies are concentrated in White Harbor City, Fishing Village Harbor and the Three Sisters Islands, you know, they are all seaside places, if some Essos people from the west plan to covet the territory of the north, these places will break out in the short term." ”

Duncan raised his head and asked, "What's that......?" My lord, do you need reinforcements from the First Main Legion?"

Lynn saw the unwillingness in Duncan's eyes, chuckled and waved his hand, "That's not necessary, but you need to take the town of Earl Harroway as soon as possible, the Essos have already appeared near the mouth of the sea, only by controlling the mouth of the Trident River, we can build the granary of the Riverland, the weather is getting colder day by day, winter is coming, we have no more time to waste, even if the fertile soil of the Riverland is a year, there will be a fairly good yield, which is very important for our future plans." ”

Duncan patted his chest and said solemnly: "Don't worry, my lord, when the soldiers rest well, a new round of siege battles can be launched in the evening, and we must take the town at night, otherwise my subordinates are willing to cut themselves." ”

Lynn stood up with a smile, paced to Duncan's side, helped the loyal subordinate up, patted his thick armor, and encouraged: "Based on last night's battle, I estimate that there are still no less than 3,000 Lannister troops left in the town, and from the captives of the Warrior Regiment, I have heard that nearly 10,000 Lannister reinforcements are also on the way here, and there is an Essos navy waiting for an opportunity to move, and the combat effectiveness is unknown, and the burden on your body is not small." ”

Duncan stood up and once again assured in a sonorous and forceful manner, "My subordinates swear to defeat Harroway and hold on to this city." ”

Lynn raised his eyebrows, "Your first main force is good, I believe, but only by taking the only two ferries in the Riverlands, the strategic goal of the Riverlands can be achieved, the second main army outside the Twin Rivers City is about to launch a siege war, the war there is also very difficult, the original plan to storm the hinterland of the Riverlands to plunder food cannot be implemented for the time being, so I can't give you much support, an independent 1,200-man mounted knights, or a 2,000-person mixed siege army, you choose the same." ”

Duncan's face was overjoyed when he heard this, and he raised his head, with a hint of elusiveness in his eyes, and said, "My lord, what do you mean......"

Lynn said with a smile: "With the nearly 4,000 people left in the first main force now, the north can deliver rations and supplies to Harroway Town for 6,000 people every month. ”

Duncan thought for a moment and asked, "My lord, is that instrument ......?"

There are still a lot of points to spare, and Lynn squinted his eyes and said frankly: "In terms of equipment, you just have to give as many as you want, and you can manage enough." ”

Duncan's spirits perked up, and he didn't squirm, and said to himself: "My lord, my subordinates...... The subordinates want to equip the first main army of Gripen with twenty siege trebuchets, and a navy, which does not need to be strong, as long as it reaches the level of Manchester United, the number of people is about 1,500, you see......"

Lynn frowned and thought for a while, and looked Duncan up and down suspiciously, "I can understand if you want a siege trebuchet, but what do you want the navy to do?"

"Since your lord has asked to hold the mouth of the river, not to let go of the warships of the Essos, and to drive from the Trident River straight into the river, although after the town of Harroway is taken, it can arrange and build a ferry fortification, and the task of blocking the surface warships can be completed, but this is too passive. ”

"But there is no port of call in Harroway. ”

"Yanchang Town, there is a port there, although the place is not big, but the depth of the port is not bad, it is not a problem to moor fifteen or sixteen warships, it is only ten miles away from the town of Earl Harroway, and after the first main army takes the town of Harroway, I will personally lead the army to the south by water and land, and quickly take the downstream Yanchang Town.

When the battle is over, the subordinates will divide the army into three and deploy the army at the ferry port of Harroway Town, the old camp opposite the ferry of the Green Fork River, and the town of Yanchang.

In this way, the first main army can form a two-way, triangular coordinated support situation, and the subordinates dare to guarantee that as long as the strategy is completed, the defense of the lower Trident River will be impregnable. ”

Duncan quickly put out his plan, and Lynn's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he refreshed his understanding of the tall Duncan's ability to generalize.

After pondering for a moment, he nodded in approval: "It's okay, since you have a complete plan in mind, this thing will be done according to your requirements,"

Duncan was overjoyed, and once again knelt down and thanked him: "Subordinate, Lord Xie." ”

After exchanging siege equipment and fifteen fully equipped 150-man sail three-masted battleships in the blaster system.

Lynn wrote a letter of her own handwriting and tied it to the claws of the Gripen Golden Pig, and told the Golden Pig to go to White Harbor and Fishing Village Harbor to pass it to Old Hill Maester and Lyanna Mormont, telling them to be wary of a possible attack by the Essos on the North, and to prepare for defensive warfare, waiting for news of their return to the North.

He stepped on a big green war horse, led the thin monkey Hanniu and more than 50 elite guards cavalry, and marched north along the King's Road, which had just been combed by the Gripen Legion, towards Twin River City.
