A group of soldiers armed with spears and dressed in cloth ran across the avenue to the city walls under the watchful eyes of all the inhabitants of Harrenhal.

"Don't fall behind, whoever dares to fall behind, I'll find his house later!" Ma Shen, the leader, shouted while leading more than 50 newly recruited soldiers towards the city wall, and Ma Shen was not in a hurry, he had just received news from Jeffs that there had been traces of Lannisters outside the city, which was a bit beyond his expectations, and he had not prepared anything on his side, and even the soldiers had not been recruited.

Quickly leading his soldiers up the towering city wall, Ma Shen found that the scar man was already on the city wall, and without bothering to greet him, he walked to the battlements and looked out of the city, and found several ant-sized cavalrymen looking at Harrenhal in the distance.

These cavalry should be the scouts of the Lannister army, and the army will arrive soon, Ma Shen looked at the outside of the city with a solemn face, and asked the scar man without looking back: "How many soldiers do you have there?" ”

The scar man subconsciously glanced at the recruits behind him whose legs were trembling: "I have 73 soldiers here, all of them were ordinary civilians before, without any training, and they are not as good as the people you hired before, Sir Sir before. ”

"It's not as good as a lot. If the people he recruited could be at the same level as those mercenaries before, he still had to worry so much that he would wake up laughing when he slept, and without thinking about it, Ma Shen pointed to the city wall on the right and ordered, "You arrange soldiers over there, every 2 soldiers in a group, every 5 meters in a group." ”

"Got it, sir," Scar Man replied cheerfully, leading his group of soldiers towards the wall on the left.

I don't know if I can survive today, Ma Shen looked worriedly at the recruits who staggered behind the scar man and left, gritted his teeth, and also led the soldiers behind him to spread out towards the right city wall.

As the most sophisticated defense system of a city, the main role of the city wall is to rely on the city wall to defend a large number of enemy forces with a small number of troops, which is related to the survival of the castle, and its importance is self-evident.

After the toss just now, it is almost evening, and now it is time to bet on whether Duke Tywin is a smart general, when he finds that the enemy castle is already on guard, the smart general will definitely not let the tired soldiers attack this famous castle of the Seven Kingdoms when the army has been on the road for a few days and has no place to stand.

Others are praying that the more stupid the enemy general, the better, but Ma Shen wants to make the enemy general smarter, otherwise if he is a reckless general, regardless of the direct attack on the city by 3721, I am afraid that this Harrenhal will be captured by them in less than a round.

Because the enemy is tired, he is not much better here, it takes more time, the soldiers are civilians who have just got weapons, some people have not even used weapons before, if it were not for the tall city wall blocking, they would have fled for their lives, in addition, the city defense materials are not ready, such as rolling wood, boiling water and other city defense weapons, the only defensive weapon is a few catapults on the city wall, Ma Shen has sent Zhou Shijie and a few recruits to be in charge of the catapults, even if they can't use it, they can't target the enemy to scare them.

Soon, Ma Shen placed these recruits at their respective posts, with only weapons in their hands and no protective measures, and ordered them to raise their weapons high when the Lannisters arrived, not to meet the enemy, but to show Lord Tywin, and tell him that he was already on guard here, and that it was getting dark, and the soldiers must be very tired, so you should set up camp and rest for the night before attacking.

"Sir, those stupid Lannisters are here to die! I'm going to see how they climb up, hahahaha!" Jeffs laughed as he waited anxiously for the Lannisters to arrive.

Hearing Jeffs' hearty laughter, Ma Shen clearly felt that the recruits around him relaxed a little, and the sound of heavy breathing slowed down a little.

Adjusted his mood, Ma Shen also knew that his current state is not the state of a qualified general, for the way of the general, when the heart is cured, Mount Tai collapsed in front of the color unchanged, the elk is happy in the left and the eyes are not instantaneous, translated to say that if you want to be a good general, you should first cultivate your own mental quality, to be able to do Mount Tai collapse in front of you will not change color, the elk jumped by the side, and the eyes did not blink.

It's me who is too anxious, this is not the time to be nervous, even if you are nervous, you have to be nervous inside, you can't show it on the outside, your task now is to make the soldiers full of confidence in this battle, firmly believe that their side will win, and relieve the tension of the soldiers, staying tense for a long time will make the muscles and spirits tired, and when the real battle comes, I am afraid that I will not even be able to walk.

So Ma Shen changed his previous posture, pretending to be relaxed and stepped forward to give Jeffs a big hug: "It's not necessarily necessary to die, what I'm worried about is what if they can't climb up and withdraw in anger." ”

"Hahahaha" Jeffs patted Ma Shen's back hard, looking like he had found a long-lost relative.

While Masin and Jeffs were pretending to be weak and bragging to each other, not far from Harrenhal, Duke Tywin sat on a horse and listened to the report of the horse: "My lord, the gates of Harrenhal are closed in front, and there are some soldiers waiting on the city wall. ”

"Huh? It's not that Lady Haren had fled with all the guards of Harrenhal in the early hours of last night, so who is there to command now?" Sir Kevon Lannister, who was following Duke Tywin, Duke Tywin's eldest brother asked a little strangely, originally heard that after Lady Ha'an escaped, he thought that he would be able to enter Harrenhal to rest tonight, but he didn't expect such a change to happen.

Unlike Sir Kevon, Duke Tywin didn't look too surprised, but waved his horsewhip calmly: "Just go ahead and have a look." ”

With the whip of the Duke of Tywin, the red soldiers all over the plains poured like a tidal wave from behind the Duke of Tywin towards Harrenhal, as if there was nothing left to stop the tide.
