Take the ride to dominate the game

Chapter 128
Lothor Frey's wife was named Leona Lyford, and her natal family was the lord's family of the Golden Tooth City.

Although she is not the sister and daughter of Earl Leo Leford, she is also a real relative within three generations, and they still have contacts in normal times.

"I can use this level of relatives to pretend to surrender, and then open the city gate at night. When the time comes, make an appointment, Lord Arthur can lead troops to attack." Luo Suo said.

Arthur glanced at the man's ugly face, then turned to Cobain who was in charge of intelligence and asked, "Where is the Earl of Golden Tooth City now?"

The reason why Kebain is in charge of intelligence is because he has the habit of keeping notes in a notebook, which is much better than most nobles.

The latter often only take the impressions in their minds as information, which sometimes delays things.

Cobain flipped through his notebook and quickly replied: "Earl Leo Lefford fell into the river and died in the Red Fork River blockade led by Lord Edmure. In the army."

"Look, your relatives are not in the Golden Tooth City. The person in charge there is Davon Lannister. He has blond hair and beard, and is also brave and calm. People call it the Golden Lion. If you throw it like this, people will definitely be suspicious! Then you will not let your people approach the city gate, and the chances will be much smaller."

Arthur felt that such a vote would definitely not work.

"Is there any other way?"

Luo Suo touched the mole on his face, dissatisfied.

The nobles were also curious about the better way for the coach, and more than twenty pairs of eyes looked at Arthur.

"I can make this more believable."

Arthur looked Rosso up and down again, and felt that he could use some small tricks to make the false surrender more reliable.

"Look, you are Frey, whom most nobles look down on. Your family has snatched the marriage position of two Stark families. Isn't the northerner having conflicts with you? If the war goes wrong, Someone must take it out on Foyle, and isn't it just a coincidence that you're short, ugly, and crippled?"

The Frey family was originally at the bottom of the chain of contempt among noble families, and Frey, who was later in the line of succession, was even at the bottom of the bottom, and someone like Rosso, who was not dominant in figure or appearance, left the Twin Rivers City. I'm afraid no one will take him seriously.

Rosso suddenly felt something was wrong, "So what do you mean?"

"If a proud northerner beat up Rosso, he surrendered out of resentment and went to find his relatives, wouldn't that make more sense?"

Arthur smiled and said loudly to everyone.

Immediately, people from the northern border reacted. Rona Stautten stood up from the simple chair and took over the matter with multiple voices.

"I can help you. This is working for the King of the North. I won't be tired of beating him ten times. Lord Arthur, please let me do this."

Greatjon also stood up, and glared at Rona Stout with his slightly "smart" eyes, "With me here, when will you work for His Majesty Robb, please let this kind of offending people I'll do it."

Luo Suo was extremely reluctant, "I can't stop fighting, I can just wait until I sneak into Golden Tooth City."

"Davon is not a fool, so let's settle this matter. After we set up camp outside the Golden Tooth City, we will let Lord Jon Umber be in charge of beating people, and try to greet him on the face, so that he looks a little miserable."

Arthur looked around and discussed the details of this bitter plan, and then let the tired marchers disperse.

Two days later.

The rustic Golden Tooth City stands between the cliffs on both sides. Like the Twin River City, if you want to enter the western region from the River Avenue, you must pass through this castle.

But unlike the Freys, the lords of this place, the Raffles family, did not get rich from charging fees to enter the mountain.

The source of wealth of the Raffles is the gold mine hidden in the mountains.

Although most of the gold mines near Golden Tooth City belonged to the Lannister family, the Lefford family who participated in the management could also get a lot of gold.

This not only makes them rich, but also makes their relationship with the Lion family unusual.

Lefford can be called the Lannister's confidant family.

Since it was wartime, there were a lot of western soldiers patrolling the city walls.

Soon someone discovered a large number of enemy troops coming from the north.

A centurion captain took a rough look, "At least two thousand, less than half a league away from us, no large siege ordnance, threatening, but not big."

Before the Targaryen family conquered Westeros, the Kingdom of the Rivers and the Kingdom of the West had fought for 5000 years, and the Golden Tooth City was basically never captured by attacks from the Riverlands.

After the captain asked his men to continue patrolling, he personally led people to report the matter to Lord Lannister, who was in charge.

Although there were scouts and other cavalry outside the city, they were probably killed if they did not enter the city to report the arrival of the enemy until the army was within one league outside the city.

After hastily walking down from the wall of the north gate, the captain led people to the main castle where the noble knights of the western region were located.

"How dare you put this amount of troops under the Golden Tooth City? Could it be that Edmure has started to take charge of the enemy army in the riverland again?"

After listening to the report, Davon, who was wearing the lion's black ring armor, curled his lips in disdain, and told the captain to continue with the task.

"How should we deal with it?" A little noble from the western region asked.

Dafeng thought for a while, "Calculating the time, this army should have come from the Eastern Front. This part is all infantry, maybe there are some old acquaintances of mine."

He looked at the aristocratic knights from the western region who were rushing in front of him, and announced his order: "We will stay inside the city. Anyway, with their strength, we can't attack. If they want to go around by the mountain road, then we will send cavalry Harassing them along the Hejian Avenue, it’s not hard work.”

Robb's troops are constantly decreasing. As long as the people of the western region are given time, the young wolf lord can be trapped to death in the mountains of the western region.

Therefore, locking down the western border is the first priority of Golden Tooth City and other fortresses.

The people were ordered to go back to rest when they saw that they were not fighting now.

In the next day or two, the enemy forces outside the city launched several tentative attacks, including carrying a single-board cart into the city gate, but the defenders easily repelled these attacks.

Although it is known that the commander of the enemy army is the peerless fierce general Arthur Bracken, most of the nobles and soldiers in the city are relieved.

"I used to think that he was so powerful when I heard his bullfighting appearance, but in the end he didn't even know how to attack the city, so he only sent one or two hundred people to hammer the city gate with carts."

"He's just a reckless man. Apart from being handsome, what other advantages do he have?"

"Golden Tooth City has never been captured by the Hejian people from the north. This reckless man's military vision is not as good as Edmure's."

"That's right, Little Trout at least just sent people to block the river avenue, and didn't send people to die to attack the city."

Such discussions can be heard everywhere in the castle.

On the third day of the siege, an anecdote made Arthur a joke among the defenders.

"I heard no, the people from the northern border outside fought with the people from Hejian. Several Hejian people were tied to the flagpole and were whipped several times."

"It's not just heard, I've seen it with my own eyes. Their camp is very sparse, not far from the north gate. When they beat people, the screams came very clearly."

"He can't even control his subordinates, this Arthur is really a mindless idiot."

This incident also spread to the ears of Dafeng and other western nobles, which greatly increased their confidence in defending the castle.

At night, more than [-] figures quietly touched the north gate.

"Open the door, I am Lord Lefford's uncle."

With so many people, the soldiers and captains patrolling the city did not dare to make a decision, so Dafeng was invited to the north gate.

People outside the city were asked to report their names and families.

"The Frey family, I am Lothor Frey, and my wife is Leona Lyford, Count Leo's cousin."

The gold mines under the name of the Lannister family are mainly distributed in Casterly Rock City and Golden Tooth City, and the Lefford family has been managing and guarding the nearby gold mines for the Lion family, so Davon should also consider the thoughts of the master family here.

He ordered the steward, the bachelor and others to come, and then identified on the city wall whether they were relatives of Count Leo.

"That's right, it's Master Rosso, his lame features and moles are obvious."

So people outside the city were allowed to enter the city. Of course, the defenders let them drop their weapons first.

After entering the city, except for Rosso and a few Freys, the rest of the guards had swords around their necks, waiting for Rosso to give a reasonable explanation.

"It's like this..." Luo Suo then explained the cause and effect in detail.

After Frey snatched Robb's marriage partner, he was even more disdainful from the northerners, to the fact that after the death of Earl Meggie Severn, the forces of the Severn family began to target the Frey family extremely, and then because of the unfavorable war, they wanted to Seeing the people in the north who had done meritorious deeds in front of the king of the north but were unable to sneer at the Frey family, Rosso explained the relationship one by one.

"As you know, they look down on the southerners, and think that we are weaklings who only try to show off in the tournament, and we Frey are more like bugs and weasels in their mouths."

"Being stopped here for the past two days, the people in the north were dissatisfied with Arthur's command, but took their anger out on us, Foyle. And because of my appearance and figure, I was even more heavily abused and insulted by them."

"When I replied, they mobilized and attacked me, directly tied to the flagpole and beat me. Since there are many nobles in the northern border and the relationship with the false king Robb is good, Bracken didn't dare to fight against them. Several nephews were beaten for a long time, and they still beat me in front of my wife's natal house."

"In a fit of anger, I brought a few nephews and attendants who were dissatisfied with the people in the north to defect to the Lannister family. My second brother, Emmon Frey, is also in the west, and he will vouch for me."

"My lords, please take a look." Luo Suo raised the torch in his hand close to his face, so that the people in the western region could see clearly how miserable he was.

It was a face that couldn't be described with tragic words, the two small glasses were swollen like the eyes of a frog, everywhere from the forehead to the neck was bruised, the upper lip was still bleeding, and the nose was crooked.

After showing his miserable state, Rosso gritted his teeth and said, "I swear, I must kill Jon Amber who beat me. No, every time before he is killed, I will ask the bachelor to revive him, and then I was beaten half to death, and I went back and forth like this a hundred times to get my breath out."

Although the surrender was fake, the tone of killing Greatjon couldn't be more true.

Rosso could even recall the expression on Greatjon's face when the fake show was real.

Even though Lord Arthur ordered a scene to be played, the Greatjon still vented his hatred of Frey to his heart's content.

After hearing this, Dafeng and other nobles in the western region were delighted.

You deserve it, who told you weasels not to form an alliance with us.

Suppressing a smile, Davon ordered the release of Frey's squires.

"Arrange the rooms for these few, and the bachelor will go to treat Rosso's injuries."

Night was the time to rest, and after instructing the civilian soldiers to watch the night, Dafon returned to his room in the main castle.

On the fourth day of the siege, people from the northern border outside the city scolded and asked to hand over the weasels who had escaped during the night.

Luo Suo and the others boarded the city gate and scolded each other all morning. By noon, both sides were hoarse from cursing.

This greatly increased the trust of the Western Territory Army in the Freys.

After all, if you are acting, you don't have the temperament of scolding each other with death and almost fighting with your life.

On the fourth night, at three or four in the morning.

When the sleepers were fast asleep, and the night watchmen were drowsy, Aegon "Blooded" led his men to raid the north gate, and then opened the city gate.

Arthur, who had been prepared for a long time, wore bright silver plate armor and a golden cloak given by Sansa, and led a team of 200 people to rush in, guarding the city gate, and the large army behind was heading towards the north gate. Hurry up, they are much faster when they are fully dressed than the Western Territory Army who is half asleep.

However, the Western Territory Army was not a vegetarian either. Most of the soldiers were awakened by the loud sound of bells and drums beating. The night watchmen had already put on their armor, so they came out to fight first.

The gate of Golden Tooth City is a bit narrow, about four or five meters. Arthur and the dozen or so people in the front row can already block the western border soldiers who pushed back.

Seeing that the situation was okay, Arthur shouted: "Aegon in Blood, you take a centurion to the city wall, and make sure that their catapults and crossbowmen can't hit our men."

Aegon took the lead and charged up the wall with a hundred swords and shields of the Freys.

Different from ordinary castles, each wall of fortresses such as Golden Tooth City, Twin River City, and Harrenhal has several protrusions, which are convenient for crossbowmen to shoot to the enemy's side and rear, and small trebuchets are placed on them.

If the western border soldiers were deployed on the city wall, there would be countless casualties during the charge of the coalition forces in the distance.

And Arthur's men were not many, so he didn't dare to waste them.

Hundreds of people began to fight at the north gate of Golden Tooth City, and more and more Western Territory troops began to join the battlefield.

……

In front of the main castle, Dafon who was awakened was listening to his subordinates' report.

"The reckless Arthur is leading people to guard the north gate. His sledgehammer is really scary. After a round of fighting, the soldiers dare not go forward to fight."

"Where is the tower? Has the tower been lost?" Dafeng asked.

"There are about 100 Frey soldiers on the wall. The leader is the one who surrendered yesterday. Our men are rushing up."

If they are rushing upwards, it means that there are not many western soldiers remaining on the city wall.

Dafeng glanced at the noble knights of the Western Region behind him, "Do you have the confidence to take back the North Gate from the reckless man?"

Everyone looked at each other left and right, all hesitating and saying nothing.

"What a good man, is he so frightened that he can't even say a word?" The golden lion Dafeng shouted.

Amory Lodge has a special status, so he boldly suggested at this moment: "The north gate is lost, and there is still a lot of gold in the city. Why not take the gold and retreat to Sarsfield City before making plans."

Davon glanced at the wild dog, Rocky, in disgust, and had to admit that this was a relatively old-fashioned way.

"People from Lefford and Saliott's family went to the big vault, preparing to escort the gold away. The rest of the people, starting from the north gate, lined up in teams of 200 people, and blocked the enemy step by step until the gold in the big vault was completely Ship away."

Dafon gave orders to the noble knights leading the army.

Seeing that his words were accepted, Rocky tentatively said: "My loyalty to Duke Tywin is well known in the world. I can supervise the soldiers who exchanged gold and prevent them from tampering."

He himself has looted tens of thousands of golden dragons from many small castles in the riverland, and now is the time to transport them away.

And on the way, you can use your hands and feet to get some of Lord Tywin's gold.

The gold in the big treasury of Golden Tooth City is not cast into the style of gold dragon coins. If the ledger was destroyed in the war, there is no way to track down its whereabouts.

I think you want to take away the gold you robbed together!Davon could see what this person was thinking at a glance.

He said tactfully: "You are the most capable fighter in the city, how can you become a groom? I will give you the military exploits of killing Arthur. Take your men to fight at the north gate."

"Everyone knows that I have the virtue of humility, so I'll give this great achievement to others." Rocky evaded, "And I still have a little property that needs to be transported away, so I won't go to the north gate."

Seeing that this person didn't obey the order, Dafeng shouted: "Do you think our Lannister family will be greedy for your golden dragons? You must be the first to kill to the north gate today, otherwise you will be punished as disobeying the military order."

This was a matter of life and death, and Rocky also stiffened up. He took a step forward, and more than a dozen soldiers followed him. Except for not drawing their swords, they had already clearly expressed their attitude of disobedience.

It's just that there are more people who support Davon. Most of the nobles and hundreds of Western soldiers drew their swords on the spot, and dozens of crossbowmen also aimed at Rocky and his group.

Rocky rolled his eyes twice, and knew that this scene was not going to be cheap, so he confessed on the spot.

"I am a loyal minister of the Lannister family, how can I disobey orders? I will go to the north gate to fight, but my golden dragon must be kept, and these people around me can escort my gold."

"No problem." Dafeng waved his hand, "Hurry up, if Daku moves quickly, you can also retreat earlier."

Golden Lion has already figured out how to use the gold looted by Rocky.

After Amory and most of the noble knights who led troops to snipe the enemy led away, Dafon ordered again: "Sir Gareth Clifton, you take a centurion to East Castle and kill all The nobles of the Hejian land."

Gareth is a little nobleman from Fairy Island, far away from the land, so he is not afraid of revenge from the riverlands, so it is most appropriate to send him to kill people.

"Sir Davon, is there something wrong with that?" Gareth himself was a viscount, and unlike wild dogs like Rocky and the Magic Mountain, he was also considered to have status, so it was impossible for him to do this dirty work.

And it is a common rule not to kill the nobles who are captives.

After all, no one can determine whether he will be the next one to be captured. If he sets this precedent, he may be the next one to be killed.

"It is said to the outside world that he died in the war. Go quickly. This is an important matter. If you do it well, my uncle, Duke Tywin, will reward you a lot."

After being perfunctory, Dafeng repeatedly urged Gareth to work.

Seeing that the commander moved out his lord, Sir Clifton had no choice but to take someone to do this black work.

Dafeng himself took about 500 lion soldiers to supervise the soldiers transporting gold.
