Throne of Comics

As for Robb's threat, let alone worry about it.If Robb really wants to send troops to attack the Eyrie, it will only prove that he is stupid.For Lysa and Li Ling to break up, this will only make Lannister take advantage of it for nothing.

But if he really wanted to get to that point, Li Lingyi had no choice but to do so.He was able to deal with the lion of Lannister, and naturally he could also deal with the wolf of the north.

Time passed little by little during the confrontation between the two armies, until the evening of the second day when Lannister was stationed, they finally started to take action. The first thing to bear the brunt was to call out five giant ballistas.

For this giant ballista, Li Lingyi has been thinking of 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 spears fired by this ballista have huge kinetic energy, and it is almost possible to block it with a shield head-on.Unless you build a batch of particularly thick shields, which are not very flexible and require multiple people to manipulate.And according to the previous simulation battles, the effect is not ideal.

So after more than a week of repeated discussions with the generals and blacksmiths, they finally came up with an immature solution, which was to deflect the steel guns fired.No matter how powerful it is, as long as it fails to hit, it is equal to zero.

So the smithy started working quickly, and began to make some inclined iron plates.These iron plates are thick and thin, and can be embedded in the city wall when they are produced.Once the giant crossbow shoots a steel spear and hits the iron plate, it will be deflected by its tilted angle, causing its entire body to slide down, thus failing to hurt the defenders on the city wall.

After it was produced, Li Lingyi tried it himself. There was no giant crossbow, so he took a long spear and threw it suddenly from a distance of more than ten meters.The moment it hit the iron plate, the tip of the gun stabbed, and the body of the gun also tilted along, going straight down or up.

At that time, everyone also exclaimed when they saw this, indicating that this is indeed a useful thing, although some high altitudes or steel guns passing through the gap cannot be avoided.But anyway, it was much better.

So as soon as the ballista came out, Li Lingyi immediately ordered the soldiers on the city wall to quickly insert thick iron plates into the gap in the wall dug in advance.Because it has been practiced many times before, the kung fu city wall is connected by inclined iron plates in a dozen seconds, which looks quite spectacular.

"What is this?"

James outside the city also frowned when he saw this, and the little devil's eyes lit up, and said, "It should be something that can resist crossbow guns."

"Only with these iron plates?" James shook his head, ordered the soldiers to load the steel guns on the ballista, and following his order, with a few swishes, the five steel guns pierced the air and struck towards Harrenhal.

"Dang Dang Dang!—Mag——"

The steel gun collided with the slanted iron plate, and its force froze immediately, then it slid down along the iron plate. The tip of the gun rubbed against the iron plate and made a screeching sound before falling to the ground.

Of the five steel guns, only one shot into the castle because the angle was too high.However, because everyone was protected, no one was hit.

Immediately, the soldiers of Harrenhal cheered, while the Lannister soldiers outside the city looked rather ugly, not knowing what to say.

"The slanted iron plate is really clever." The little devil sighed, and said to James, "It seems that the effect of this ballista will be greatly reduced."

"... go to the archer!" James gritted his teeth, the ballista can defend against it, but how can it defend against the thrown bow and arrow?You must know that among the 1 troops I brought, there are more than [-] archers with good arms!If one round of volleys is fired, even if only one person is hit by ten arrows, thousands of people will die on the other side, right?

Chapter 474

Remember ♂ in a second, update fast, read for free!

I have to say that James' algorithm is still very good, but unfortunately, his number is too conservative.Can one of ten bows and arrows hit?The premise is that any defense work is also good, so that rows of people stand stupidly on the top of the city as targets.

Any ancient war, be it east or west, is not stupid.For this kind of arrow attack thrown from the top of the city, each has its own means of defense.

For example, the most basic armor, in fact, ordinary armor itself is resistant to some "flowing arrows".When a spear or epee strikes at close range, or an arrow is thrown at a high altitude, the power of the arrow is greatly amplified under the acceleration of gravity, and ordinary armor cannot stop it at all.

Therefore, many "towers" were built on some city walls in ancient times. These towers are to prevent projectiles, similar to bunkers, leaving only a small opening for machine guns to shoot.

If you want to kill the enemies inside, you can only shoot an arrow into that small opening, but this is not easy, it is a great test for the judgment of eyesight, wind power and arm strength.Therefore, there were very few archers in ancient times. When encountering this kind of defense, the archers almost lost their lethality, leaving only a little deterrence.

And now Li Lingyi also adopted this kind of defense, but what he did was more concealed and simpler, and he just used adobe to temporarily build some "blockhouses".

This is also a helpless move. After all, time is short. If he is given three months, then he will definitely be able to build Harrenhal without leaking.But now that things are in a hurry, he can only "as soon as possible and save money".

Now that the army of Lannister archers is approaching, and the soldiers on the city wall have also hid in the bunker, James, who is looking at the opposite side, is also very angry.

"These guys are just like turtles!" James angrily paced back and forth, "This way, we can only attack by force."

"No, the damage caused by the storm is too great, and it may not be successful." The little devil immediately retorted.

"Then what do you say?"

Facing James' question, the little devil also remained silent. He closed his eyes, thought for a while, and suddenly his heart moved, and he opened his eyes suddenly.

"correct!"

The little devil looked at his brother James with a happy expression on his face, "Brother, you should know that Ivy Crane secretly captured the Eagle's Nest a few days ago and put Lady Lysa and her son under house arrest, right?"

"Of course I know, what's wrong?" James nodded, his expression a little gloomy, "It's all because Stannis pretended to hold us back, otherwise we would have come to capture Harrenhal long ago!"

"Let's not talk about that first." The little devil shook his head, "Now the Knights of the Valley hate Ivy Crane to the bone, but they have organized several attacks to no avail. Given the terrain of the Eagle's Nest City, it is impossible in a short time Take it down."

"what do you mean……"

"In the name of the Iron Throne, we can make the Knights of the Vale temporarily give up on taking back the Eagle's Nest City. Let them come here and join us in besieging Harrenhal!" the little devil laughed, "I'm sure they will agree .”

James was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and then his eyes lit up, and he said in surprise: "Yes! You can let the Knights of the Valley come together, so..."

Thinking about it, James immediately ordered the army to retreat temporarily, then returned to the camp and began to write letters.

The little devil looked at Harrenhal from a distance, and said in a low voice, "Avi Crane, I don't know what countermeasures you have..."

The Knights of the Valley, as soldiers of the Ayrin family, did not participate in the "Five Kings Rebellion" from the beginning to the end.This means that their forces are the most complete preserved!At least there are tens of thousands.

If these tens of thousands of people temporarily abandon the Eagle's Nest City and all come here to besiege Harrenhal together with Lannister, the people in the castle will definitely be under great pressure.This may even make some people feel rebellious, and may even win without a fight!

This is not an exaggeration. Sometimes people are more afraid of pressure than death. The greater the pressure, the weaker the nerves. Once the string breaks, it is possible to do anything.

At this time on the city wall, Li Ling looked at the retreating army, and was a little puzzled for a while.He felt that it was right to attack by force at this time, not to mention conquering, but at least to test the defense force, instead of giving up after a few crossbow shots missed.

Is there any other plan?

Li Ling thought about it, and then shook his head. He couldn't think of any possibility, but he could only order the army not to relax in the slightest, and then he came to a room in the inner castle.

This was a secret room, and there were only about twenty people in Harrenhal who were qualified to enter it, and most of them were workers.

As soon as he entered, he saw a big hole in the middle of the house, about the width of several people. He walked over and entered the hole, and in front of him was a passage nearly [-] meters away, and there were four or five workers at the end, holding a shovel. earth.

This is a tunnel excavation that Li Lingyi secretly carried out a few days ago. He dug directly from the inner castle to a wasteland outside the city, which can be regarded as a trump card for both offense and defense.

When the tunnel is dug, thousands of people can be transported out in a very short period of time, and they can surprise the enemy. This is an attack.And once something serious happens and Harrenhal faces the dilemma of falling, then this is an escape tunnel.

It has to be said that only a few people know of the existence of this tunnel, in order to let the majority of people fight with the will to die. Once there is really nothing to be done, it will not be too late to tell the existence of this secret tunnel.

But it has not been dug out yet.When he walked to the end, several workers immediately nodded respectfully to him, and he asked how long it would take, they looked at each other and gave five days.

It's neither too long nor too short. After all, you can't go to war in a confidential situation, so the progress has been delayed a lot.Li Ling gave an order, and then returned to the ground.

With this tunnel to guarantee the bottom line, at least there is a way out. If it is really impossible, then Li Lingyi simply left with his vitality and fled to Eagle's Nest City.Of course, that step is the last step. If it is really necessary to do this, it is estimated that many people will die in the city. This is what he absolutely does not want to see.

As soon as he came out at this time, Soros found Li Lingyi and asked, "I think there is something wrong! Lannister didn't attack?"

"Well... I know that too, but I don't have a clue." Li Lingyi said, "It's definitely not okay to send someone to investigate at a time like this."

"Then why should we wait?"
