Chapter 175: Mounted Knights
Lynn was slightly stunned when he heard this crisp scolding, and the northern nobles present were also stunned by the sudden and naked scolding.
In the eyes of everyone.
I saw Lyanna Mormont standing up with a domineering expression, and the corners of her mouth were full of disdain and ridicule.
Count Locke's face flushed angrily, raised his withered fingers, his lips squirmed, and he spat out a sentence for a while, "Little girl of the Mormont family, who are you scolding?"
Lyanna was still domineering, staring at Count Locke's old face, and scolded word by word: "I scold you, old bald." β
"You..." Count Locke hesitated for a long time, and didn't know how to sneer at a teenage girl, the old man turned his head to Lynn, his face had turned to the color of pig liver, "Lord Guardian, is this your guest and host's gift?"
Lynn was secretly refreshed, and raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, "Old man, are you teaching me to do things?"
Little Amber, who was beside the little bear girl, also held a small brown face high, looking at Lyanna with an angry face beside her, her eyes shining.
Reaching out with the greasy hand that had just grabbed the sheepskin, he grabbed a hair as thick as silk, and asked in a low voice an old and strong Amber family guard beside him, "Why does Sister Lyanna scold that old man?"
The guard glanced at the awkward atmosphere in the field, and whispered in little Amber's ear: "Because the guardian helped her mother and sister avenge the revenge of Twin River City and personally executed the Frey clan, we people in the north have always been grateful. β
Little Amber's face turned red when he heard this, and he muttered, "My uncle Jon Amber Jr. and my cousin Jon Amber Jr. also died in Twin Rivers City. β
Then, little Amber also stood up suddenly, stepped on the chair, raised his head and pointed at the hairless face of the old Earl of Locke, and said with a grin: "Listen, now I also scold you on behalf of the Amber family, old bald." β
was scolded by two junior nobles who were inferior in the north in front of the vassals in the north, and it was difficult to see the extreme on the faces of the Locke family.
However, this is White Harbor City.
Lynn Rothschild's vassal assembly, Count Locke didn't dare to be too presumptuous here, he dared to openly propose an alliance with the Lu family, and it can be said that it was for the benefit of the northern lands, Rao was unhappy with Lynn, and he wouldn't do anything to him on the spot.
But if they dare to act recklessly in the banquet, Lynn will have an excuse to rectify them, the lord of the north has always attached great importance to guest etiquette, and guests have the rights of the host before the rights of the guests.
As the master, Lynn has the right to reprimand the little bear girl and little Amber for their disrespectful words, but Count Locke does not dare to reprimand Lynn in his territory.
At most, I scolded back, but what is the use of scolding the 8-year-old Amber family yellow-mouthed child?
If you win the scolding, you won't get the glory, and it's still him who will be embarrassed when it goes out.
But now, Lynn, as the master, has no intention of scolding at all.
The nobles in the north who watched the excitement also looked at their noses and noses, and everyone knew that the Locke family might have become a bond with the Rothschild family, and no one wanted to get involved in this situation.
Just when Count Locke looked uncertain, his son-in-law, the Baron of Deepwoodburg, was about to speak out to persuade him.
Suddenly, in the distance, there was a shout of a mountain and a tsunami.
One-two-one, one-two-one.
An army lined up and shouting strange slogans appeared on the long street in the distance.
Everyone turned their faces sideways, and then remembered that Rothschild's departure ceremony was still going on.
The heavy cavalry regiment had disappeared at the end of the long street.
In front of him, another levy corps appeared.
In everyone's mind, they thought that there would be a neat heavy infantry regiment, after all, the last battle between the Gripen Legion and the Bolton family was the most amazing performance of a heavy cavalry regiment and a heavy infantry regiment.
The two strongest legions in the hands of the Gripen Legion were brought out to show up, so that the nobles of the northern realm could see it, and it was also the right thing to do with the momentum of protecting Lynn in the northern realm.
But soon they discover how wrong they are.
In the gap between the faint slogans in the distance, there was still a dull trampling of horses' hooves.
Another cavalry?
The crowd looked at each other suspiciously.
Suddenly, everyone's faces could not help but change color, and the army that appeared was not infantry, but a new cavalry regiment with bright armor.
The cavalry regiment slowly marched from a distance, still neat and neat, but the big difference was that these cavalrymen had a full set of steel plate armor.
Helmets with iron face covers, delicate breastplates, ornate skirt armor, and even hand and leg armor are all available.
On the cavalry, the armor on the war horses is completely draped, and those armors are very well-made at a glance, and the shiny plate armor is shining with metal.
A nobleman was the first to shout in surprise: "Could it be another heavy cavalry regiment!"
"It seems so," one chimed in, "but this beautiful silver-and-blue livery looks much more energetic than the gray-black iron armor of the heavy cavalry, and it seems to have a special meaning." β
Another lord, who had studied cavalry, couldn't help but point to the oncoming cavalry regiment and said: "It's strange, the blue and white cavalry walking in the front row are all flag bearers, and the cavalry team with huge cavalry spears followed by is painted yellow and black all over the body, and there are ......
Huh! What?
There are also small Gripen flags hanging on the riding spears, and such large mounted spears can be held with one hand, and the physique of these soldiers is not ordinary. β
A low voice of surprise spread among the northern vassals, and one by one they could not hide the shock in their hearts, and stretched out their heads to look.
Immediately, there was a nobleman who was well versed in military affairs, and when he found the strangeness, he exhaled and said in a deep voice: "It's not a heavy cavalry, the armor of these cavalry is much lighter than the heavy cavalry, although they are armed to the teeth, but they look much lighter than the heavy cavalry, you listen... The sound of horses' hooves is so crisp that it is probably not much heavier than that of a light horse. β
Everyone was stunned when they heard this.
Immediately, many of the nobles in the northern realm who had come to their senses flushed red.
It's really not a heavy cavalry!!
Such a well-armed and well-armored cavalry is not a heavy cavalry!
Although the heavy cavalry was extremely strong in large-scale legion battles, the armor was too heavy to run long distances, and because of its limited speed, it was extremely bulky in non-charge dogfights.
If you want to give full play to the strength of heavy cavalry, you are often deeply affected by the battlefield environment.
Therefore, the heavy cavalry can show the heritage of a family.
But there are also many families who have the strength but are not willing to spend huge sums of money to invest in this not so practical class.
In Westeros, the Valley Cavalry Regiment, which is recognized as one of the strongest cavalry regiments, is not a heavy cavalry regiment.
Rather, it is a regiment of chainmail cavalry with much lighter armor than heavy cavalry, but its defense and sprint damage are only inferior to that of heavy cavalry.
Why is the cavalry regiment in front of him, which is obviously covered in armor, not as cumbersome as the heavy cavalry, this question instantly lingers in the minds of everyone present who only needs to be rough in military affairs.
When there was a constant puzzled gaze, it gradually moved to the young northern guardian in the center of the balcony.
Lynn felt the constant projected gaze, chuckled, and did not hide his confusion: "Everyone, this is a new cavalry regiment in my Gripen Legion, called the Knights of Armor, in the name of iron armor, the armor they wear is all genuine steel iron armor, the defense is comparable to heavy armor, and the crossbow twenty steps away cannot break the defense."
But...... The total weight of cavalry was half that of heavy armor. β
"Hiss~"
Hearing Lynn's explanation, everyone couldn't help but feel a trace of cold air coming out of their hearts.
Twenty paces away crossbow can't break the defense?
You must know that the heavy cavalry in the usual sense only has the defensive power that can ignore the crossbow arrow firing fifteen paces away.
This cavalry in front of you can be twenty paces away without fear of breaking the defense?
You must know that what Lynn just said himself is that the bright armor of this cavalry is twice as light as the heavy armor.
Gods, isn't that the same weight as the chainmail rangers of the North?
How is this possible?
Lynn proudly looked at the hundred assembled knights who passed by the long street in front of him, and his heart was full of pride.
These cavalry cost between 80 and 100 system points per horse.
It was 4 or 5 times higher than the heavy cavalry.
As a golden class awarded for completing the main quest of King's Landing.
It consists of 10 banner-wielding cavalry, 20 spearmen, 30 sword and shield soldiers, and 40 spearmen, 100 cavalry as a group, and only the whole group is allowed to be exchanged in the system options, and the total price of 100 cavalry is up to 10,000 points.
Regardless of the pain of points, Lynn reorganized and exchanged them, firstly, to deter these northern nobles in the vassal assembly, and secondly, to test the power of the cavalry regiment with a real battle.
The armor on the mounted cavalry cannot be forged at all in the current technology of the Westeros continent, and Lynn has carefully observed the armor on the cavalry, which is not fully forged, and it is not manufactured without cutting machine tools.
When the Knights of the Armored Order, which was beyond the technology of this era, were heroically displayed, they were inspected from the Long Street, and then followed the part of the Heavy Cavalry Regiment to disappear in the direction of the Inner Harbor.
There were no new soldiers and horses on the long street.
The patriarch of the Tauha family in Torun Fang City, Count Tauha, looked at Lynn in surprise, "Lord Guardian, what about the rest of your expeditionary army?"
Lynn smiled, "The Flint family is just a turtle in an urn, where do we need more legions?"
"Thisβ" Count Tauha was stunned, but still hesitated, "but the widow is a veritable fortified sea castle, although it is not as tall as the inner and outer harbor defense cities of White Harbor, but it is not something that cavalry can attack." β
Many nobles in the north also nodded when they heard this, and used cavalry to attack the widow's hope, isn't it a joke?
Having previously claimed to have switched to support the Old Town Earl of Stannis with Deepwoodburg and Widow Wang, Old Locke even showed disdain on his face.
Heart, this young count of the Rothschild family is really an arrogant man who doesn't know the height of the sky, the widow is the strongest castle on the east coast of the north, a few feet higher than his family's old city, not to mention two cavalry legions, even if there is an army with ordinary siege equipment, it will be impossible to break through without ten days and half a month.
But hearing this, Lynn heard Count Taoha's question, and suddenly laughed three times, and said in a heroic voice: "Count Taoha, you can rest assured, despite the strong fortress of the widow's hope and the family garrison of nearly a thousand people, it is a pity that it is a sea city after all.
If it weren't for that, I'd be afraid I'd have had a lot of trouble..."
"Oh, so the Guardian has no experience in attacking Haicheng?"
Lynn smiled mysteriously at first, then retracted his smile, his eyes fell silent and looked into the distance of the inner harbor, and his whole body bloomed with sharpness and light: "Not bad." β
As soon as these words came out, all the lords or nobles in the northern realm present looked at each other, no matter how they guessed, and they didn't understand where Lynn's confidence came from.
Isn't Haicheng also a castle, and there is a sea surface as a natural barrier in the direction of the sea, shouldn't it be more difficult to break?
When the old Earl Locke heard this, he suddenly felt a palpitation, and he secretly thought to himself: Could it be that Lynn really has any way to specialize in the coastal castle of the other party? Although his family's old city has been in operation for hundreds of years, and the city has been strengthened for several generations, it is not as good as the widow of the East China Sea, and the old city is also a sea city.
Old Locke thought so, and a leisurely heart couldn't help but sink straight down.
Today, in order to help Stannis Baratheon, a guest of the deer family in the old city, pull the support of his allies in the north, but he offended Lynn a lot, and it is difficult to guarantee that Lynn will not send troops to attack the old city in the future.
Frightened by his own thoughts, Old Locke only felt his throat tighten, and wanted to ask Lynn what secret tricks he had to attack Haicheng, but he didn't know how to speak.
