Heaven's Change of Fate

Chapter 253 Attacking King's Landing City

Early the next morning, the heads of Roose Bolton and his family members were brought to Yang Xin by the northern nobles. Yang Xin waved his hand, and someone took away the heads of Roose Bolton and others , And to verify the military merits, in Yang Xin's view, Roose Bolton's head is the nomination certificate of the northern nobles, which means that the northern nobles have been completely included in Yang Xin's military noble system.

"Which one of you will deal with the Dustin family in the barren mound and the Laceville family in the stream?" Yang Xin said lightly.

The so-called foreign affairs must first settle down. It is time for the different voices in the northern border to disappear. Since the nobles in the northern border have accepted the votes and surrendered, Yang Xin does not mind letting them fight some easier battles so that they can gain military merit. .They can't beat King's Landing City. These small and medium-sized nobles in the northern border should be able to beat them. If they can't beat them, don't be conferred with military merits, just go home and farm.

In other words, the Lannister family in King's Landing is really a godsend. They first defeated the combined forces of the Lord of Highgarden, Lanly Baratheon and the Tyrell family, and then defeated the king of the Narrow Sea, Stannis Baratheon. kindness.

All of this, of course, is inseparable from the little devil Tyrion's advice. The little devil Tyrion still has some skills. Maybe after the big victory, the Lannister family is a little arrogant and a little swollen. Tywin Lannister finally Couldn't stand the little devil Tyrion who was always in front of him, so he sent him directly to the big prison, and took the credit of the little devil Tyrion as his own. It is said that the little devil Tyrion finally ran away and fled to I don't know where, anyway, I didn't come to the north to join Yang Xin.

Yang Xin didn't care about him, the general trend of the world was very clear at this time, Yang Xin's unification of the Seven Kingdoms was a foregone conclusion, and it would not change because of a little devil Tyrion, the little devil Tyrion was not that capable yet.

Yang Xin took advantage of the northern noble army's crusade against the Dustin family and the Laceville family, and sent an army of millions to the south, heading straight for King's Landing.

An army of one million marched south, shaking the mountains and rivers. In King's Landing, everyone from the King of the Iron Throne, Tywin Lannister, down to the free people, turned green with fright.The total number of people in King's Landing City is only 50, and there are millions of Yang Xin's troops outside the city. Tywin Lannister didn't dare to send troops out of the city to fight in waves, so he could only hide in King's Landing City trembling, hoping Use the tall city walls of Junlin City to resist Yang Xin's million-strong army.

Yang Xin's attack on Junlin City this time did not adopt the method of siege of Junlin City by mixing in detailed operations, setting fires at night to cause riots, and then cooperating with the inside and outside. Instead, he used a hard bridge and a hard horse.

"attack!"

The first to attack was the crossbow array of the slave army.

"wind!"

"wind!"

"wind!"

The overwhelming crossbow arrows rained into the city of King's Landing. Although the soldiers in King's Landing City had been equipped with shields and hid in the walls and houses, many people were still shot to death and injured.

The city of King's Landing was howling in misery. Fortunately, the slave army's arrow array only shot three rounds, then stopped attacking, and retreated one after another, setting up camp ten arrows away from King's Landing City.

"That's the only thing the army in the north is capable of?" Tywin Lannister said with feigned disdain.

Of course, everyone knew that the northern army could not have such a little ability, and also knew that Tywin Lannister deliberately said this in order to improve the morale of the army, but what could they do?He could only follow what Tywin Lannister said, and then tried his best to promote himself and mock Yang Xin's army in order to boost his morale.

Of course, these nobles pretended to be stubborn on the surface, but secretly began to secretly contact Yang Xin, hoping to be an internal response, so that their family could get some benefits after breaking the city.

But when these nobles knew that Yang Xin had overturned the previous noble system, re-established the military merit nobility system, and created military merit nobles, the expressions of these nobles were as if their parents had died. Not all nobles were like those in the northern border Like the nobility.These nobles in King's Landing have already lost their pioneering spirit.

The northern border is bitterly cold, but this bitter cold environment has also created the indomitable spirit of the northern border.Moreover, in the eyes of the southern nobles, the nobles in the north are nothing but mud legs. When the nobles in King's Landing learned that they would be ruled and governed by mud legs in the future, and that they only held the title of nobility, but did not receive the treatment that nobles should deserve, the look on their faces turned pale. The expressions are no longer as desperate as the dead parents.

The desperate nobles stood firmly on the side of the Lannister family and actively used all their strength to help Lannister defend the city, which made Tywin Lannister heaving a sigh of relief.What Tywin Lannister is most afraid of is this group of nobles who have done too little and failed.

Yang Xin's army of slaves has been shooting arrows at King's Landing City every day for the past few days. Except for the damage caused by the first day, it caused little damage in the next two or three days. After all, no matter how strong the crossbow is, it is still an arrow. , not bullets, nor cannonballs, it is easy to avoid, a door panel can prevent arrows falling from the sky.

Of course, Yang Xin's method is more than that simple. The way of using troops is to attack the city first and attack the heart first.

Yang Xin asked the slave army not only to shoot arrows every day, but also tied a letter of persuasion to the arrows. The letter of persuasion was mainly aimed at the non-noble people in King's Landing. If you can kill a guarding soldier and hold his head, you can get ten acres of land; if you can kill a nobleman and have a head to testify, you can get the title of nobility.

Yang Xin's letter of persuasion immediately ignited the raging fighting spirit of the poor in King's Landing. The nobles headed by Tywin Lannister had to allocate troops to suppress and guard against these poor people, which greatly reduced the number of soldiers defending the city.

In order to stabilize the morale of the military and the people in King's Landing, Tywin Lannister had to go to the Church of the Seven Gods to seek help from the Church of the Seven Gods. After promising a lot of benefits and authority, the High Sparrow, the chief leader of the Church of the Seven Gods, launched A member of the Seven Gods in King's Landing.

The vast majority of the residents in King's Landing City are followers of the Seven Gods. Once the chief lord, the High Sparrow, not only stabilized the hearts of the people in King's Landing City, but also helped the soldiers of the Lannister family to defend the city.

Yang Xin was not discouraged when he saw that the strategy of persuading Xin to surrender did not work, because Yang Xin did not expect to make meritorious service in persuading Xin to surrender.

The return cannon is not a cannon, but a giant trebuchet with the principle of leverage and weight added. In the Song and Yuan Xiangyang battles, Mengyuan's army used the return cannon to take down Fancheng and Xiangyang successively.

The return cannon can be said to be the peak representative of the siege weapon in the ancient cold weapon era, and Yang Xin's slave army shoots arrows in the city at a fixed time every day. It does not seek to hurt the enemy itself, but to confuse the enemy.

When Tywin Lannister and other big sparrows took action to stabilize the hearts of the people and the army in the city, and he had no worries at all, when he was full of ambition and united as one, Yang Xin's ultimate blow came.
