Heaven's Change of Fate

Chapter 247 Divergence
In the dark night, the city of Twin Rivers was on fire everywhere, and everyone was busy fighting the fire, but no one noticed that the west gate of the west city of Twin River City had been quietly opened.

Seeing that Twin River City was on fire, Yang Xin led the wolf cavalry to secretly lurk near the west gate of the west city of Twin River City. .

The first thing the wolf cavalry did after rushing into the gate was to firmly occupy the gate, and then the wolf cavalry and slave corps began to swarm in.

After occupying the west gate, Yang Xin led the slave army to take down the city wall immediately, then galloped along the city wall, and took down all the city walls in the west city.Twin River City is a twin city built across the Green Fork River. After Yang Xin took down the city wall of the west city, he took down the city wall of the east city along the passage between the two cities. So far, all the city walls of Twin River City fell In the hands of Yang Xin.

After Yang Xin took down the city wall, he didn't attack. Instead, he stayed on the spot, staring down at everything in Twin River City.Western castles are military fortresses that integrate offense and defense, and Yang Xin is reluctant to devote his troops to street fighting, which will cause unnecessary casualties to the slave army.

What Yang Xin has to do is to trap the Frey family in the east and west main castles of Twin River City, trap them, and trap them to death.The granary outside the Frey family's main castle has been burned to the ground. There may still be food and grass in the main castle, but there will definitely not be much. Yang Xin is ready for a protracted war. If he is trapped for two or three months, Yang Xin Believe it or not, they will not be trapped to death.

Moreover, Yang Xin has taken down the city wall and is already invincible, so there is no need to rely on additional casualties.

Ed Stark stared at all this dumbfounded, and said in an unbelievable tone: "Without hurting a single soldier, this took down the Twin River City?"

Previous siege battles in Westeros were all about head-on resistance. Never before have we seen such a high-end operation of attacking at night and attacking the city from the inside out.

"Soldiers, the important affairs of the country, the place of life and death, the way of survival, must be investigated!" Yang Xin dragged out an ancient oriental prose for Ed Stark, regardless of whether Ed Stark could understand it, and then Just quietly watching everything in Twin River City.

No matter how dull the Frey family in the Twin River City was, they sensed that something was wrong. When the Frey family sent troops to suppress the riot and extinguish the fire, they began to push towards the city wall. As a result, they were greeted by overwhelming arrows.

The soldiers of the Frey family began to retreat to the main castle after leaving corpses on the ground.Next, the Frey family organized several raids one after another, but they were all beaten back by the slave army.

At daybreak, Yang Xin asked people to shout loudly on the city wall, and began to persuade the Frey family to surrender.

"What are you going to do with the Freys?" Eddard Stark asked.

"Then let's see if the Frey family surrenders. If the Frey family surrenders, they can retain their titles of nobility and certain property, but the Twin Rivers City must belong to our northern border." Yang Xin said.

"The Twin River City belongs to my northern territory, so how can the Frey family survive?" Eddard Stark frowned and asked.According to past practice, the submitting party only needs to swear allegiance to the victorious party to the Seven Gods, and bear the corresponding responsibilities and obligations.In a usurper's war like Robert Baratheon's attack on House Targaryen, there were very few incidents of killing the loser.

"The Frey family moved to the northern border collectively, and then the children in the family must be separated. At that time, I will reward them with some land, enough for them to survive." Yang Xin said quietly.

Ed Stark frowned even more tightly. According to Yang Xin's approach, the Frey family was actually no longer nobles. They were actually yeoman farmers with noble titles.

This kind of punishment is not insignificant. After all, this is based on the premise of surrender. There is no such precedent in Westeros.

"What if House Frey refuses to surrender?" Eddard Stark asked again.

"Punish the Nine Clans." Yang Xin said coldly, and by the way gave Ed Stark the knowledge of the Nine Clans.

Eddard Stark took a deep breath. The marriages of nobles in Westeros formed a huge network of relationships, intricately rooted and densely covering Westeros. This method of implicating almost all nobles will offend almost all the nobles, because even the enemy has marriage behaviors. Ed Stark couldn't help saying: "You are against all the nobles on the continent of Westeros."

"You can't say that, your own people can still be lenient." Yang Xin said indifferently.

"Why are you doing this?" Eddard Stark asked suddenly.

"Because winter is coming! The ghosts outside the Great Wall are about to move, and they will go south in a big way soon. Don't think that the Great Wall can resist the ghosts. You must know that there is a horn of winter outside the Great Wall. According to legend, the horn of winter can make The Great Wall of Desperation has collapsed." Yang Xin said.

"This is a legend!" Eddard Stark shouted.

"Wolf cavalry and bear cavalry have appeared, and the giant dragon will be born soon. Why won't the ghost be born, and why are the legends not true?" Yang Xin asked back.

Ed Stark was silent, and the expression on his face was obvious. This was disbelief and disbelief.

"Even you, the Duke of the North, don't believe these legends are true. How could the nobles in Westeros believe that these legends are true?" Yang Xin asked again.

"You can look for evidence to convince them." Ed Stark said after a moment of silence.

"Why do I need to find evidence to convince them that if I have that time, I might as well destroy them, and then gather the power of everyone in Westeros to fight against the White Walkers." Yang Xin said.

The topic circled back to the conversation between Ed Stark and Yang Xin when they were in Winterfell. As a result, Yang Xin still couldn't convince Ed Stark, which showed Ed Stark's stubbornness.

In fact, Ed Stark did not think that Yang Xin was lying, but that Yang Xin's actions were contrary to his previous education. The aristocratic system in Westeros has a history of nearly ten thousand years. - Stark keenly felt that Yang Xin was overthrowing the inherent aristocratic system in Westeros, which is the root cause of Ed Stark's different beliefs from Yang Xin.

If the way is different, then don't conspire with each other!
"I won't allow you to do this, you go back to Winterfell immediately!" Ed Stark said.

"Yes, but the Twin River City must be in my hands." Yang Xin said without giving in.

"As you please!" Eddard Stark left the Twin Rivers with the northern soldiers after he finished speaking, and went straight to the Fortress of Carlin Bay. I can't wait to raise my troops to avenge King Robert, and avenge myself by the way.

Yang Xin didn't mind either, and just sat and watched Ed Stark leave.When the Frey family heard that they would implicate the nine families if they did not surrender, even if the Frey family was unwilling, they could only open the city and surrender.Yang Xin directly ordered an army of [-] slaves to take over Twin River City and implement military control.

All the members of the Frey family, as well as the yeoman and freedmen who were sincerely devoted to the Frey family, were all moved to the northern border by Yang Xin, scattered to various fields, and let them work together with the slaves.So far, the Frey family has completely dissipated in the northern slave system, leaving only a title of nobleman.

Things like "the swallows before Wang Xietang in the old days, flew into the homes of ordinary people" began to happen in Westeros.

After Ed Stark came to the Carlin Bay Fortress, he immediately took over the military power and command, and proclaimed himself the Lord of the North, and began to lead his army southward, setting off the prelude to the War of the Five Kings.
