Lynn's easy victory against the Lannisters' imp wasn't worth his joy, watching a lonely Tyrion leave like a wilted eggplant.

Lynn's gaze quietly looked north.

The widow looked at the camp outside the city in a hurry, and there were constant horsemen galloping out of the camp, and messengers coming from the sea, and then running out of the camp to the sea......

The widow looked at the coastline of the east coast, and an array of thirty cargo ships was arranged in a straight line, with iron chains forming a straight battle line, and the figures of the ships flickered, and there were not many soldiers, and the sailors did not wear heavy armor, but were busy turning and debugging each sea-going ship, piling up huge supports.

The ships were 500 meters away from the east gate of the widow's view, and the banners were unfurled, and the camps of the heavy cavalry and mounted cavalry regiments led by Duncan were set up at the north and south ends of the central axis of the city gate and the sea ships.

The north and south watchtowers of the widow's view were just right to keep an eye on the two cavalry camps.

The Flint soldiers in the castle had a leisurely expression, without the slightest sense of urgency that the great battle had descended.

The Gripen Legion sent only thirty surface cargo ships of the navy, as well as two well-equipped cavalry.

Those who hide in fortified castles are not afraid of such a formation.

It would be nice if it was a confrontation, because Lynn's Gripen Legion was stupid, and they were helpless to attack the castle.

Sir Kerry, as the commander of the widow's garrison, always felt that this probability was too small, so he had to send a large number of scouts to the west to see if there were any other ambushes over there.

When the news came together that the Gripen Legion had indeed sent only two cavalry as the main battle force, Sir Kerry's face was not happy, but full of anger.

Who does the Rothschilds look down on?

He had already made up his mind to wait for the cavalry of the Gripen Legion to come outside the city to scold them, and let the widow's strongest crossbow team slap them in the face.

A cavalry siege is simply ridiculous.

Unless the defenders of the city take the initiative to attack and engage the enemy in a field battle outside the city, they will have no chance of victory.

"Why don't we go and attack the camp? Those heavy cavalrymen who can't wear armor at night will kill them at night and give them a head-on blow. ”

One of Sir Kerry's squad leaders made such a suggestion yesterday, and Sir Kerry beheaded the intrusive squad leader in front of the new Earl of Flinter.

"What are you kidding, as long as you hold the castle, the enemy will naturally retreat on their own initiative, why do you have nothing to provoke them? Didn't you see the face of Earl Flinter, who was listening to the battle plan, when he proposed it at that time?" Sir Kerry thought angrily as he looked at the silent and uninhabited area outside the city.

During the days of waiting for news, Duncan's cavalry subordinates were constantly communicating with the sea ships on the coast, because the cargo ships on the sea were carrying too heavy things, so they were very slow to move.

Duncan had intensified his ties with the two cavalry camps in the north and south in the past two days.

When the ships were connected with each other by iron cables, the widow wanted the defenders to suddenly go out of the city and raid them, and the first stage of his cavalry's combat mission was to prevent the defenders here from hindering the final gathering of the ships.

When the follow-up military ships came to the coastline in a steady stream and completed the integration, Duncan, as the commander-in-chief of the crusade, was completely relieved.

The widow did not see through the tactics that Lord Lynn personally arranged for the Gripen Legion in this battle.

The white Sunstar banner on a black background also joined the fray from the north, and Count Harrion Karstark brought his entire Karstark army from Kahoe City.

Behind the army, the women and children of the Karstark family followed them from a distance of several miles.

Harrion Cassta travels to the Mounted Knights' camp on the north side of the East Coast to meet Sir Duncan.

"Sir, as I agreed with Lord Lynn, five hundred of my Karstark soldiers have arrived. May I know when we are expected to launch a siege? I want to get my soldiers ready. ”

Harrion Kasta guessed that the current calm was to accumulate strength for the future explosion, and this time he would not have a good life whether he was defeated or defeated, but the difference was that he would not die if he was defeated, and his people also had widowhood hope as a place to stay, and he lost the city of Cahoe but the city of the city of Widow Wang's affairs officer.

After the defeat of the war, the whole family of the Casstark family, who moved out of Cahoe City, may have to go to a broken fishing village on the east coast to continue the family incense.

Hearing this, Duncan glanced at Count Harrion Casstad, holding his waist expressionlessly, and replied calmly: "Today." ”

Harrion Cassta was taken aback, "Today, have reinforcements from the Gripen arrived, or are the inner parts of the city ready?"

"We are the only besieging army, there will not be many reinforcements, and there will be no internal response in the city, Your Excellency. ”

Duncan's calm expression did not convey confidence to Harion Cassta, and after hearing this, Harion was not calm at all.

He finally guessed, "Have your soldiers dug the tunnel?"

Duncan glanced at Harion Kasta, too lazy to play dumb riddles, and said bluntly: "No, Lord Earl, the Gripen Legion intends to crush the defenders head-on in this siege battle. ”

Harrion Cassta's face twitched twice, his brain went blank, and he almost fainted.

He let out a hoarse voice and exclaimed in disbelief, "Strong...... Assault? or frontal?"

The "wild ass" was widely used as a siege slinging weapon during Lynn's assault on the Twin Cities of Riverlands, and this trebuchet was actually a torsional trebuchet with two parts: a bracket and a stone-throwing rod. Among them, the rubble is fixed in the center of the bracket, with a leather pouch for the projectile tied at the top, and a tightly twisted horizontal rope at the lower end.

To do this, the soldiers need to turn the winch to pull the stone throwing rod to a horizontal position, and then place the stone ball in the magazine. When fired, the accumulated force is instantly released and the projectile is ejected. Normally, the "wild ass" has a range of up to 400 meters and can effectively destroy battlements and weak stone ramparts.

But such a thing does not pose much threat to the widow who looks at the east gate with thick walls.

Compared with the castles in the riverlands, which are made of mud bricks baked in the mud, there are many stones in the northern mountains, and the castles here are mostly made of huge stones weighing hundreds of pounds layer by layer, and the siege trebuchet is almost useless in attacking the larger castles in the north.

Siege warfare here was mostly fought using "loft-style" siege vehicles, which were made of hardwood or steel, and the wooden shells were covered with animal skins. Inside, a battering ram hangs from the frame, and the heads of these battering rams are cast in iron, which can quickly breach the gates if they strike rhythmically.

However, siege engines are not suitable for castle warfare near the coastline, because the castle walls along the coastline are often protected by deep moats.

As long as the drawbridge was retracted, the siege vehicles could not drive to the city gates.

Widow's Hope is one such intricately designed castle.

Ignoring the despair on Harrion Cassta's face, Duncan looked at the sea to the east, his eyes full of hope and confidence, not from the blind confidence of a conductor.

It was his unreserved natural trust in Lord Lynn.
