Lannister's army was about to drag, and Nangong Yu naturally had no objection, but he was still a little surprised. I thought they would be vengeful and eager to attack. But now it seems that there are obviously smart people who are judging the situation and seeing the pros and cons.
As for the opposing general, Nangong Yu also figured out that it was James. Compared to his father Tai Wen, James must be a lot more tender. Maybe some smarter lieutenants such as the little devil and Bolong were also next to him.
In the face of a possible protracted battle, Nangong Yu was not worried. The storage in Herrenborg was enough to provide the whole city with food for three years. The Lannister army was only three months or less. Of course, the Iron Throne can continuously transport food from King's Landing to here, but it is not a good harvest year. Even King's Landing is constantly starving to death, so the amount of food that can be transported is not certain.
On the other hand, it is worth mentioning that Robb has successfully led the army to retake Winterfell, but Theon has already fleeed in a hurry and fled to the Iron Islands.
So Robb also announced that he would attack the Iron Islands, but it is conceivable that an announcement means an announcement, which is absolutely impossible in the short term.
The reason is simple, there is no ship.
The Iron Islands made a fortune by being a pirate, and the most important thing is that the ship is also an experienced sailor. But Stark is different. They are coyote wolves. They are tough on land, but they become weak at sea.
That's why the Iron Islands can survive the chaos of the mainland. It is a bit similar to the modern United States, which occupies a land and is surrounded by the sea. At the same time, it has a strong naval force, so it can make trouble and block up everywhere.
In addition to declaring war on the Iron Islands, Robb also sent a letter to Nangong Shuo.
The content is to question the Eagle's Nest City, and ask him why he wants to seize the Eagle's Nest City, after all, it is his aunt and uncle's territory. In addition, he wanted him to release his aunt as soon as possible and return the Eagle's Nest City to her.
Seeing this letter, Nangong Yu was also quite speechless. It was obvious that Eagle Nest City was the first to declare war on him. Both sides are enemies. What happened to you? And it is even more impossible for him to return the city. Now Eagle Chaocheng has been strengthened and guarded by a hundred elite flagless troops brought by Nangong Yu.
The Vale Knights also organized an attack with a force of a thousand troops, and the result was a loss of several hundred, but the flagless army guarding the city had no casualties. Nothing else, as long as you guard the gate and keep throwing rolling logs under the steps, it is impossible for anyone to come up.
Unless there is a person who is tens of thousands of people, it can be attacked by taking people up to fill up the logs and other debris stored in Eagle's Nest City. It's just that the price is too high, and the Vale Knights simply can't afford it.
After all, since the death of the lord Jon Aylin, the Knights of the Valley have always presided over his sons, but his sons are too young, so the mother of Lailaisha has become a "queen dowager"-like role of listening to politics.
Now that the Queen Mother and her son have been arrested, the inside of the Valley Knights is also quite chaotic, and it is impossible for them to be united in a short time, so Nangong Yu is not too worried.
As for Robb’s threat, let alone. If Robb really wants to send troops to attack Eagle's Nest, it can only prove that he is stupid. For a Ryza and Nangong dynasty to break, this will only allow Lannister to take advantage of nothing.
But if you really want to get there, Nangong Shuo is not without a choice. He was able to clean up the lion Lannister, and naturally he also cleaned up the northern wild wolf.
Time passed between the confrontation between the two armies, until the evening of the second day when Lannister was stationed, they finally began to take action. The first thing to do was to mobilize five giant ballistas.
For this giant ballista, Nangong Yu has been thinking about countermeasures at any time these days, and finally came up with a plan, which is to deviate from the law.
That's right, the long gun fired by this ballista has huge kinetic energy, and it is almost possible to use a shield to resist it from the front. Unless you build a group of very heavy shields, (ccfd) but that is not very flexible and requires multiple people to manipulate it. And based on the previous simulation battles, the effect is not ideal.
So after repeatedly discussing with the generals and blacksmiths for more than a week, they finally came up with an immature solution, which is to deviate the shot steel guns. No matter how powerful it is, as long as it fails to hit, it is equal to zero.
So the blacksmith shop started quickly and began to build some beveled iron plates. These iron plates are thick and thin, so they can be embedded in city walls. Once the giant crossbow shoots a steel gun and hits this iron plate, it will be deflected by its inclination angle, causing it to slide down completely, thus failing to injure the defenders on the city wall.
After the production, Nangong Yu personally tried it. Without the giant crossbow, he took the long spear and threw it abruptly from a dozen meters away. The moment it hit the iron plate, the gun head stabbed, and the gun body tilted down or up.
When everyone saw it, they all exclaimed, indicating that this is indeed a useful thing, although some high altitudes or steel guns passing through the gap cannot be avoided. But it's too much better anyway.
So as soon as he drove out at this time, Nangong Yu immediately ordered the soldiers on the city wall to quickly insert a thick iron plate into the gap between the walls dug out in advance. Because I have rehearsed many times before, the wall of Kung Fu that lasted for more than ten seconds is connected by inclined iron plates, which looks quite spectacular.
"What is this?"
James outside the city frowned when he saw this, and the little demon on the side lit up and said, "It should be something that resists the crossbow gun."
"Just rely on these iron plates?" James shook his head and ordered the soldiers to load the steel guns on the police car. Then, following his order, with a few rattles, five steel guns broke through the air and attacked Harrenburg.
"Dangdangdang!--Magnetic--"
The steel gun slammed into the sloping iron plate, and then slid down along the iron plate. The gun and the iron plate made a harsh sound, and then fell to the ground.
Of the five steel guns, only one shot went into the castle because the angle was too high. But because everyone was protected, no one was hit either.
Suddenly the soldiers in Herrenborg cheered, but the Lannister soldiers outside the city looked quite ugly and didn't know what to say.
"The inclined iron plate is really smart." The little devil sighed and said to James, "It seems that the role of this ballista has been greatly reduced."
Go up the archer!" James gritted his teeth and said, the ballista can defend it, what defense does the throwing bow and arrow rely on? You must know that you have brought more than 10,000 archers with good arms out of the 40,000 army! If an arrow hits only one person, thousands of people will die on the other side, right?
