Chapter 114: Beyond Carlin Bay
Lynn looked at the old butler sadly, pointed to the reeds by the guide, and gritted her teeth: "It's okay to bring it, but what's the matter with the moaning sound coming from the field? Now the soldiers' eyes are full of resentment, and you tell you that there will be no trouble with this?"
Alfred was stunned when he heard this, he had been busy directing the transportation before, but now when he heard his young master say this, he listened carefully for a while.
The reeds swayed, and there was indeed a strange noise of babbling for a while.
Looking at this formation, I'm afraid there is more than one pair.
The old housekeeper's face darkened, no wonder he always felt that there were fewer people doing things.
He confessed to Lynn and led a few of his men to chase people out.
Alfred rushed to the scene of the incident and scolded with a heavy face, which had an immediate effect.
Without the hateful babbling, Lynn's restless heart finally calmed down.
The army was almost rested, the main supplies and hired men could be boarded, and Alfred was in charge of escorting.
Lynn continued with most of his army through the Neck Swamp and returned overland to the territory of Fishing Village.
Under the leadership of Shifu, the Xiao Cavalry Regiment opened the way ahead.
Lynn led the Knights of the Guards Gripen to the center, while Rodat and the Tiger Infantry escorted the trebuchet behind slowly.
It was just a march, and Lynn didn't let the army deliberately keep a strict queue, and the three armies staggered some distance and passed through the Neck Plain.
Along the way, Lynn didn't see a single Ze person, and the Reed family was waiting in the Greywater Wangcheng City, watching Lynn's army go north from the King's Road outside the city.
Departing from Twin Rivers in the morning, Lynn arrived outside Carlin Bay in the evening, escorted by the Guards.
And the Tiger Regiment fell further behind because of the march on foot and the transportation of thirty trebuchets.
Two miles outside of Carlin Bay.
The scout cavalry of the Cavalry Regiment arrived from the front.
"Tell your lordship, there are armies of other families on the walls of Carlin Bay. ”
Lynn frowned slightly, could it be that the Zeren Reed family took Carlin Bay away?
At the beginning, Edmure, the Duke of Riverrun, was secretly placed in Twin River City, and he almost took the Frey clan away, and he didn't settle accounts with them.
Lynn asked, "Do you see clearly, which family's flag is it?"
"There are at least three different family flags on the city wall, and the subordinates don't know which family's badge it is, but it's certainly not Zeren. ”
At least three?
Lynn's face was gloomy at this moment, as if he could wring out water.
These people should be bullied by themselves?
"Go! Let Shi Fu lead the people of the Xiao Cavalry Regiment and go in and drive everyone out for me. ”
Kalim Bay was built 10,000 years ago. At that time, Carlin Bay was a huge fortress, with twenty towers and basalt walls as high as Winterfell.
It had been the key to the defense of the north, and had wiped out countless attacks by the Andals.
However, most of the walls have now disappeared completely, the wooden forts have rotted away thousands of years ago, and only three of the twenty towers are made of stone.
Lynn led the Guards to the outside of the Ruins of Carlin Bay.
Outside the city is a wilderness, and the avenue to the North is just in front of the ruined walls of Carlin Bay.
The evening wind was very strong, and the air was mixed with the smell of dampness.
This is a sign of heavy rain.
The Horsemen stood just outside the stone arch of Carlin Bay, and several large flags were planted on the walls, one of which was faintly recognizable to Lynn, which was a black-horned brown moose on an orange background.
It seemed to be the family crest of the Horwood family, and Lynn wasn't sure for it.
The Horwood family of Horwood City is a noble group of nobles from the North. The home of the Horwood family is Horwood City, and their territory is on the edge of the Mandalay family domain and the Burton family domain.
How did these people get here.
"Didn't you let them in and drive people out? Why are your cavalry still stopping here? “
Lynn drove his horse to Shifu's side, and the Knights of the Gripen and the Knights of the Horsemen merged together, and hundreds of cavalry lined up in the wilderness, putting great pressure on the guards in the city.
"My lord, they have no less than two hundred crossbowmen at the head of the city, and I am afraid that the number of infantry is still above this, and the number of light cavalry of the subordinate cavalry regiment is less than two hundred ......."
Shi Fumian has a difficult explanation.
After all, Lynn just ordered to drive people out, not let his cavalry regiment attack the outpost to attack the city, Shifu did not choose to enter the city rashly, and Lynn couldn't say anything.
Looking up at the ruins of Carlin Bay in front of him, the appearance of human figures and buildings, I am afraid that there are indeed many troops in the city.
Looking beyond the city walls, from the collapse of the ruins to the inside, three intact and sturdy towers towered in the center of the city, with a triangular corner of the city.
If you attack rashly, as long as you ambush a few crossbowmen in the tower, I am afraid that even hundreds of people will not be able to take this city.
I don't know what kind of strong fortress this Carlin Bay would have been when the twelve towers existed.
The Tiger Ben Regiment had trebuchets following the team, and it might be an hour before they could catch up.
If you really want to attack, Lynn is confident that she can still do it.
However, Kalin Bay is a very important part of his annexation policy to the north, and it is too late to strengthen the city that guards the entrance to the north, and if it collapses today and rebuilds it again in the future, it will take a lot of effort.
Just as he was hesitating, a five-man cavalry squad rushed out of the stone arch of Carlin Bay.
The cavalry squad quickly marched twenty paces in front of Lynn's army and held the reins, much to Lynn's surprise, the leader was actually a noble-looking woman.
The coat of arms engraved on the chest of the cavalry beside her is the deer camel coat of arms of the Horwood family.
"Your Excellency is Earl Lynn?"
Since he has speculated his identity and received the news of his promotion, he must know that his army is about to return to the north.
I know everything, and I still put the two families in the United Soldiers in Carlin Bay, what does this mean.
Lynn was puzzled, but her eyes looked at the aristocratic woman's amber eyes without blinking.
"You're Countess Donala Horwood?"
The woman nodded, "That's right. ”
Receiving an affirmative answer, Lynn was even more puzzled, Donnella Horwood's original name was Donnella Mandalay, and she was the cousin of Earl Mandalay, Earl of White Harbor, and later married Earl Horwood.
After her husband and son were killed in battle in the Battle of the Five Kings, she became the Countess of Horwood City.
Lynn remembers that the lady attended Bran Stark's harvest feast in Winterfell. On her way back to Horwood from the banquet, she was caught by Lambs Snow Jr., who staged a forced marriage.
And after getting Horwood City, Little Skinning starved her to death.
Could it be that the rumors are false?
Lynn asked puzzledly, "Why didn't Madame stay in Horwood City, but came to Lynn's territory?"
"I came to White Harbor to seek Lord Mandalay to help me reclaim Horwood City from the Bolton family, but instead of agreeing, he introduced me to Carlin Bay, and he thought you could help me do that. ”
"Oh, what do you mean, Lord Mandalay, why do you think Lynn would be willing to wade into this troubled water?"
The woman looked at Lynn and said seriously, "Mandalay is my cousin, and he said that you were his most loyal vassal. ”
Lynn scolded in his heart when he heard this, "Loyal to a hammer!"
