Chapter 123: Promise
In order to stabilize the Mandalay family, Lynn decided to accede to White Harbor's offer.
Lynn watched the Courier cavalry squad of White Harbor depart and disappear into the darkness of the night.
There was another sound of horses' hooves ahead.
"My lord, it's the scouts who have returned. ”
After a rush of horses' hooves, a team of scout cavalry slowly grabbed the reins, and when they came to Lynn, the squad leader turned over and dismounted, knelt down on one knee and said, "My lord, a large army has been found north of White Harbor City.
The number of people cannot be ascertained, but it is estimated that there are no less than 10,000 people.
The army was divided into three armies, the left, the center and the right marching in unison, and at this moment the Chinese army seemed to be encamping on a hillside a mile from White Harbor. ”
Lynn nodded, "Got it, that's the Bolton family's army of skinners. Re-e-report every half hour!"
"Yes, my lord!"
The scout bowed in agreement, and was ordered to turn over and turn away.
Duncan spoke up on the sidelines, "My lord, are we going to help White Harbor City and attack the Bolton army?"
Lynn looked up at the pitch-black sky.
"No," he said in a deep voice, "we will help me defeat the Bolton family myself, and the skinners will be able to gather so many troops to go south, and I am afraid that they will capture a lot of strong men in Horwood City, and since he has attacked with all his troops, then we will defeat them outside White Harbor in one fell swoop, and as long as we win this battle, there will probably be no more fighting in the north in the short term." ”
The 10,000-point stars are like night pearls scattered on the sky, shining with brilliant silver light.
Heavy rain is followed by stars, which is very unusual.
Harry Kane stood on the wooden fence of the castle of Fishing Village Harbour, looking at the army gathered outside the castle under the starlight, his face cold and terrifying.
What an irony that the army from White Harbor, which was once the superior city of this village and port, is now attacking the territory of its own vassals.
Outside, the White Harbor soldiers continued to gather from a distance, and the White Harbor cavalry began to shout outside the walled city.
"Open the gates, or break them down and slaughter them. ”
"Hurry up and open the city gates!
Harry Kane ignored the other party's shouts, as long as he didn't have a hole in his brain, he wouldn't have really opened the door and surrendered because he was intimidated.
The walls of the walled city have been raised a lot recently, and even if the other side is outnumbered, there is nothing they can do about it for a while.
Measuring the number of enemies, Harry Kane turned to one of the attendants behind him and asked, "Have you issued all the armor and weapons that your lord brought back from the Riverlands?" ”
The latter was a recruited recruit who spent two months in training.
At this moment, he looked at the army outside the city, and only felt that his Adam's apple was a little tight.
Harry Kane gave him a hard push, and it took the recruit to react from his distraction.
"Your Excellency, five hundred pieces of armor and blades have been given priority to burly civilians in accordance with your instructions. ”
These are just recruits who have undergone simple training, they have never been on the battlefield, and nervousness is inevitable, Harry Kane frowned, and did not reprimand anything.
As long as they have experienced a real fight, they will really grow.
If this is the case with the new soldiers, the civilians who have organized themselves with only a stream of blood will probably be even more unbearable.
The enemy must not be allowed to enter the city, Harry Kane knew in his heart that as long as the enemy entered the castle, these people would not have the courage to fight the soldiers of White Harbor head-on.
"Let the city gate be completely blocked with wooden carts and debris,
He sent men to collect all the fire oil in the city and bring it to the wall, and the archers went to the watchtower, where the view was more wide. ”
Harry Kane kept giving orders.
He remembered that the last time Widow Hope was attacked by the Flint soldiers, the army there seemed to be a post arranged in this way.
If he could, Harry Kane would actually prefer to be a pure archer, his bow and arrow aiming skills are very good, and he always feels a little rusty when he leads the army to fight.
This is also the biggest difference between him and Rodat, who is now the commander of the Tiger Legion.
"The east gate uses fire oil, but it's better not to use these things for the other walls, I'll guard the north wall for you, I hate fire. ”
A voice rang out behind Harry Kane, interrupting his thoughts.
Harry Kane turned his head, and a burly knight with tight muscles appeared a few steps behind him.
The right half of his face is described as haggard, with sharp cheekbones and thick eyebrows and gray eyes. Eagle hook has a large nose and dark and slender hair. His long hair was combed to one side, because he didn't have half a hair on the other side of his face.
The left half of his face was a mess.
The whole ear is ablated, and only one hole remains.
His eyes were not blind, but they were surrounded by large, twisted scars, and his smooth dark skin was as hard as leather, covered with pockmarks and pits, and red cracks that appeared when he was pulled. The burnt part of his chin is faintly bone-intelligible.
The hound, dressed in heavy plate armor, walked up to the wall, and when he had finished speaking, he took his heavy knight's sword on his back and walked straight in the direction of the northern wall.
Harry Kane knew about this guy, he was the knight who escorted the Kingkiller Jaime back at the request of the Lord Lord.
After completing the task, this guy did not leave the fishing village port, and ate and drank in the lord's mansion for nothing.
I heard that he was waiting for Lord Lynn to come back and personally pay him.
This is a very strong guy, Harry Kane had judged this man when he first saw him.
It's a good thing that someone offered to share the pressure of an attack on a section of the wall, and Harry Kane didn't refuse.
He turned his head and shouted to a few of the old soldiers left behind by the cavalry regiment: "You guys, go and organize a hundred civilians to help him at the north wall." ”
Soon, the four walls of the fishing village harbor were filled with people.
In the watchtowers at the four corners of the wall, the crossbowmen were also fully in place.
The starry sky blinked and peered into the earth.
The army of White Harbor was also officially assembled, they prepared a short ladder, and the siege battle would soon begin.
The knights of White Harbor outside stopped shouting, because he noticed that the civilian soldiers who were on the wall behind him would scold them back with louder choking.
There was mockery and laughter in the scolding.
Harry Kane squinted slightly, and the enemy began to extinguish his torches, mobilizing only with the help of starlight.
Soon, even the shouts of the dispatch from outside the city began to quiet.
This is a signal to prepare for the attack.
Harry Kane squinted intently at the outside of the city.
Behind the sand dunes in the distance, teams of black dots began to appear.
Then a black dot began to rush towards the wall, and occasionally a few bright patches of color flickered and moved, which was the dark light reflected by the polished armor in the moonlight.
"It's coming. ”
Harry Kane spoke in a deep voice, one hand already resting on the quiver at his waist, and the long sword he carried with him was placed where he could draw it out.
"Everybody hold their positions and don't run around. ”
"Understood. ”
The crowd replied, and then breathed in silence.
