Chapter 139 Riot (Six Thousand Chapters)
Boom boom boom!
In Riverrun City, in the study of the city lord, Brynden was concentrating on looking at the battle map on the table, when he heard a knock on the door.

"Please come in!"

Squeak!

With the sound of pushing the door, Clay with a happy face entered the study.

"Lord Brynden, I just received the news. The city of Darry has been captured by Earl Jason. We have pulled out all the nails that Tywin Lannister placed north of Harrenhal's line of defense."

Hearing the good news from Clay, Brynden nodded without much surprise.

He looked up at Clay, who was specially left by Robb to assist him, and asked in a deep voice, "Darry City is close to the intersection of the King's Road and the Trident River. The strategic location is more important. Has Harrenhal not responded?"

"Yes, Little Jon and Ed have been working day and night in shifts to investigate the situation in Harrenhal. The army in the west has not moved, and I don't know if there is some conspiracy brewing."

When Clay heard the question, he put away the joy on his face and replied in a serious voice.

"Are you really not going to support King's Landing City?"

After hearing the words, Brynden continued to look at the battle map and whispered to himself.

In his heart, he always felt that Tywin's reaction was a little too abnormal.Empathy, if it is his position in Tywin.Then, he would rather give up the entire riverland than defeat Stannis' army and keep King's Landing.

"I received news that Jaime Lannister summoned the nobles of the king's land. He gathered nearly [-] troops and returned to King's Landing before Stannis' army closed the city.

Perhaps Tywin felt that with five thousand troops plus a few thousand gold robes, he could defend. "

Hearing Brynden's whispers, combined with the information he had obtained, Clay expressed his own analysis.

"Maybe it's what you said!
However, if this is the case, then Tywin underestimated Stannis's combat capability too much, and overestimated the loyalty of nearly 50 civilians in King's Landing! "

Brynden nodded after hearing the words, and he reluctantly agreed with Clay's analysis. He seemed to remember something and continued,

"By the way, is there any news from Patrick, who is on an envoy to Harrenhal?"

"No, there hasn't been any news since they entered Harrenhal."

"Lord Brynden, there is a letter from the ravens from Harrenhal!"

Just as Clay shook his head to answer, the figure of Maester Wayman appeared at the door of the study that was not closed. As soon as he saw Brynden, he said loudly,
"It's a letter from Patrick Mallister. It's thanks to the Seven Gods that Lord Edmure stayed in Harrenhal unharmed!

Then, after a period of negotiation, he had already negotiated with Tywin Lannister the conditions for exchanging prisoners!
The other party's condition is..."

……

blah blah blah!
In the evening, King's Landing City, Hook Lane, there was a sound of hurried shoe soles stepping on bluestone slabs. A tall, thin man in ordinary clothes, holding a food bag in his arms, hurried towards his home in the hills of Visenia .

It can be seen from the mouth of the food bag in his arms that it is full of cheap food such as pumpkins and corn.

In the past 20 days since Junlin City was besieged, the price of food in the city has skyrocketed, and many people in the city have starved to death.For the sake of his family, the thin and tall man made up his mind to get his hands dirty today and made a bloody black list.

With the reward he got, he bought a bag full of food.This bag of food usually cost only ten copper coins, but now it has risen to five silver stags, which is simply ridiculously high.

However, no matter how high the price of food is, in order for his family to survive, tall and thin men have to spend money to buy it.

He looked down at the food in his arms, and seemed to have heard the exclamation of his daughter and wife when they saw the food, and saw the surprised expressions on their faces.

blah blah blah!
The tall and thin man just walked to the intersection of Hook Lane and Mud Road, and there was a sound of messy footsteps. Several men armed with various weapons who had already ambushed at the intersection of Mud Road rushed towards the tall and thin man.

pat!

Seeing this, the tall and thin man immediately held the food bag in his left hand, and pulled out a short dagger from his waist with his right hand, which had bloodstains that were not wiped clean.

Oh!

Facing the sudden attack of these people with obvious malicious intentions, the thin and tall man didn't hold back his hand, and directly and neatly pierced the short dagger in his right hand into the neck of the man in front.

Ouch!
As soon as he killed one person, before he could draw out his dagger, the tall and thin man was thrown to the ground by two people on the left and right.The food bag in the hand of the tall and thin man fell to the ground, the pumpkin was smashed, and the corn was also scattered on the ground.

Whoa, whoa!
Seeing the tall and thin man fell to the ground, the attacking men used various self-made weapons such as scissors and iron pipes with sharp ends to poke countless blood holes in the tall and thin man.

Click, click!

Two fists were no match for four hands. The tall and thin man kept spurting blood from his mouth, and the light in his eyes gradually dimmed.

After the men who attacked killed the tall and thin man, they frantically scrambled for the pumpkins and corn that fell on the ground.The food was divided up by them a few times, and one attacker even got down on his knees and licked clean the crumbs from the pumpkin on the ground.

After looting the valuables from the tall and thin man, the attackers quickly disappeared into the alley, leaving behind two dead bodies.

The golden robe never came here from the beginning to the end, because, during this period of time, too many such crimes occurred in King's Landing City.

Moreover, the golden robes that had expanded several times were filled with a large number of refugees and desperadoes.Some crimes were even initiated by them.

As night fell, the two corpses at this intersection disappeared without a trace.In the state of extreme starvation, corpses are also a resource.

Somewhere in the Red Castle, two figures were having a secret conversation.

"Is it done?"

"Of course, the other party's contacts in the city were robbed and killed by the killer I sent. And that killer was also robbed and killed by other people. Of course, this is because of the information I deliberately disclosed.

Even if they find someone dead, they will only treat it as an accident.After all, King's Landing City is too chaotic now. "

"Well, let's wait for them to act as planned tomorrow!"

"However, my lord, is your father's plan too dangerous? After all, everyone will be too close tomorrow."

"Hey, how can prey be fooled without bait?"

……

The next morning, the remaining gold robes and Lannister family soldiers in the Red Keep went out in full force.Clear the road from the Red Castle to the Mud Gate, and block all the lowly civilians from the outside of the road.

Today is King Joffrey's name day, and he will go to the dangerous front line, condolences to the brave defenders, and rebukes the false king Stannis.

Due to Robb's influence, this battle of kings was much earlier than in the previous life. Although it has been fought back and forth for several months, it is only now Joffrey's name day.

Da da da!
King Joffrey wore a tunic of black silk studded with gold thread and trimmed with onyx buttons at the sleeves. He wore striped breeches of black and crimson, and a black velvet cloak embroidered with stag and lion on the back.

He held the reins of the horse casually with one hand, and leaned on his golden lion long sword with the other. He was a perfect image of handsome and noble.

Beside him, Jaime was not in the nobleman's clothes, wearing the insignia of the Hand of the King.Instead, he was wearing the armor of the Lannister family, looking like he was ready to fight.The other ministers and the Kingsguard followed behind them.

Whoa, whoa!
Behind them sat Cersei in a gorgeous carriage, in a gown as bright as blood, with long lace sleeves revealing a golden satin lining.

Even though the city has been besieged for many days, she has lived a nourishing life, her complexion is rosy, and she looks energetic.

At the end of the line, there are many carriages loaded with various drinks, bread, and fruits, all of which are condolences for the soldiers defending the city.

"Seven gods bless you, Your Majesty!"

"Please have mercy, we are starving to death!"

"A lot of food, Your Majesty, please be kind!"

Outside the streets blocked by golden robes and Lannister soldiers, many hungry-looking civilians of King's Landing looked at the food and drink on the carriage and shouted at Joffrey and his party, eager to get some handouts.

snort!
Joffrey on the white horse heard this, sneered contemptuously, ignored them, and continued to ride forward.

Joffrey and his party gradually left the street, the golden robes and Lannister soldiers who blocked the civilians lifted the blockade, and followed the team towards the Mud Gate.

But the onlookers of King's Landing City did not disperse, but followed behind them, yearning for King Joffrey's non-existent kindness.

After besieging the city for many days, these hungry civilians who were cut off from food supply accumulated more and more.They all followed Joffrey's team and rushed towards the Mud Gate.

Outside the mud gate, nearly [-] siege soldiers were lined up in an army formation, ready to fight.

Today was the day when Stannis planned a general attack, so he mobilized his troops ahead of time, leaving only [-] troops to block the other six gates of King's Landing.

The mud gate with the lowest wall and the weakest defense in King's Landing City is the first choice of all besiegers.Just like in his previous life, Stannis also chose this place as a breakthrough.

At this time, there were no ships on the Heishui River.The fifty warships of the Royal Fleet loyal to Joffrey were missing, which greatly disappointed Stannis, who had arranged the ship snatching plan in advance.

"Gude, you led 1 people as a vanguard, and when the signal sounded, you began to attack the city. The illegitimate son's motley army totaled less than 1 people, and there were only more than 6000 people guarding the Mud Gate.

Plus our people in the city... Remember, you have only one mission, and that is to occupy the city gates and walls!

Roland, after the city gate is opened, you lead 1 people to directly attack the Red Keep. You must capture the illegitimate son Joffrey and the Lannister siblings. "

In the middle of the siege phalanx, Stannis, who was fully armed, was assigning tasks to his subordinates.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty! I will definitely catch them!"

Sir Goode and Sir Rowland responded with orders, and immediately went to the troops under their command to make the final preparations before the battle.

Stannis, who was getting older due to overwork during this time, looked at the two people who had left, and said in a low voice: "Everything is ready, now we are waiting for the signal."

Inside the Mud Gate, King Joffrey had already boarded the city wall of the Mud Gate. He looked at the dark enemy army not far outside the city, and secretly swallowed his saliva.

Queen Cersei also got down from the carriage. She carried her expensive red dress and followed James who was waiting for her towards the city wall.The many carriages filled with wine and food were neatly parked at the gate of the mud gate.

"Your Majesty, your podium is here."

Joffrey forcibly suppressed the panic in his heart, and when he was about to walk to the mud gate tower on the right, Varys, who was at his side, spoke to him in a soft tone.

Joffrey turned his head to look at the temporary podium built on the city wall on the left, frowned and asked Varys, "How to build the podium there? The Linhe Gate (Mud Gate) tower should be the front! "

"This was arranged by Her Majesty the Empress Dowager, probably because I was worried about the enemy's arrows!"

Hearing Varys' answer, Joffrey looked at James and Cersei who were coming up from the stone stairs of the city wall, and walked towards the podium with a displeased face.

The podium that Cersei arranged was really strange, it was two or three hundred meters away from the mud gate tower.

However, below the city wall at this location is the already overcrowded Fisherman's Square.Just enough for more commoners to hear Joffrey's speech.

Once everyone was in place, King Joffrey began his name-day performance.He first encouraged the bravery of the soldiers defending the city, and then began to reprimand the false king Stannis.

Among the crowd in the Fisherman's Square, there are quite a few wealthy businessmen who call themselves 'Antler People'.During this time, he has been secretly planning to betray the false king Joffrey and help King Stannis capture King's Landing.

But seeing that the false king Joffrey was in the second half of his speech, they couldn't see the contact person of King Stannis for a long time.These people secretly glanced at each other, bit their lips and decided to move on.

After all, although they appeared to be rich, they actually owed a considerable number of golden dragons to the royal family.I can only take this opportunity to give it a go.

"...so, Stannis Baratheon is vile..."

"Your Majesty, please, we are very hungry, please give us some food for those carriages!"

"Please be merciful, Your Majesty, give us something to eat!"

"He's not a king, he's just a rambunctious bastard, the murderer of King Robert and Chancellor Eddard!"

While Joffrey was rebuking Stannis passionately, the Fisherman's Square, which was relatively quiet, suddenly heard a few loud shouts.

Joffrey could ignore the words of begging, but he couldn't ignore the words of begging.

"Dog, Sir Meryn, whoever you want! Go down and find me the man who scolded me, and I will kill him!"

Joffrey stopped his speech, pointed at the crowd in the Fisherman's Square, and shouted at the guards around him in extreme anger.

The golden robes who blocked the civilians under the city wall, of course, also heard the king's roar.These temporarily expanded golden robes, wanting to claim credit in front of His Majesty the King, directly broke into the crowd rudely, and rushed towards the person who had just shouted.

A sallow-faced and emaciated female civilian was roughly grabbed out of the crowd by the golden robe. She had just shouted and begged the king for mercy.

"No, I didn't scold His Majesty the King!"

These golden robes didn't care about her explaining so much, they just beat her to death with fists and kicks, and they were going to take her to the city wall to claim credit.

"The Red Castle has stored so much food, but refuses to give a little. This is not letting us live! And because we begged for food, they killed us at will.

Brothers, the food is there, grab it if you want to survive! "

Among the crowd, a man carrying a package tied up with a rope roared with his loud voice.

Then he took off his package, untied the rope and threw it on the ground.I saw that the package was full of various swords and axes.

"I want to eat bread, grab it!"

"I'm too hungry to take it!"

"I want to eat!"

With the roar of hunger, the civilians in the Fisherman's Square were instantly excited, and the noisy and chaotic voices resounded through the mud gate.

These hungry mobs picked up the weapons on the ground one after another, and rushed towards the carriage full of food in front of the mud door.

Whoa!
The subordinates that the Antlers had arranged in advance in the crowd untied the packages on their backs one after another, and threw out their weapons.

blah!

Below the city wall, there are all those golden robes who have been recruited. They usually bully men and women.However, when encountering such a battle, they panicked in an instant, and did not think of forming a defense at all.

As a result, these armed mobs besieged a golden robe several times, stabbing them into a hornet's nest in an instant.

"Just let them guard the city wall stone ladder!"

Cersei watched the civilian riots under the city wall expressionlessly, and she turned her head to give orders to James beside her.

Beside the stone ladder of the Mud Gate, dozens of elite Lannister soldiers and gold robes, armed with long spears and swords, guarded the narrow stone ladder of the city wall, preventing the mob from rushing up to the city wall.

Woo! ~~
Outside the walls of the Mud Gate, a muffled horn sounded, and at this moment Stannis' army began to attack the city.

"Come on!"

The vanguard of 1 people led by Sir Goode did not prepare a heavy battering ram, but just carried the siege ladder, and rushed towards the Mud Gate.

Huh, huh, huh!
Thousands of archers appeared on the walls on both sides of the Mud Gate, and their arrows kept shooting towards the siege soldiers.

For the siege soldiers who attack directly without cover, these arrows are very threatening.In the constant rain of arrows, the casualties of the siege soldiers rose.

But they keenly discovered that there were no arrows shot from the tower of the mud gate.Yes, they were immediately ecstatic and gathered towards the mud gate tower.

Looking from the sky at this moment, the siege soldiers attacking the Mud Gate formed a very thick triangle at the top.

Inside the city gate of Mud Gate, hundreds of armed mobs rushed to the carriages piled with food.

A hungry mob jumped onto the carriage, dropped the bloody axe in his hand, grabbed a piece of bread in each hand, and eagerly stuffed it into his mouth.

The other mobs also looked like this, but among them, more than a dozen mobs had actions different from theirs.

They bypassed the carriage piled with food and came to the mud gate. More than a dozen people worked together to lift the heavy door latch.

Ouch!
Squeak!

The heavy door latch fell to the ground, and the mud door's thick oak door with iron nails inlaid was opened by these more than a dozen mobs from inside the city.

"The door is open, go!"

"It's full of golden dragons, woman!"

"Kill!"

In order to avoid the rain of arrows, a large number of siege soldiers who gathered at the city gate saw the Mud Gate opened from the inside, roared very excitedly, and rushed towards King's Landing City.

"We are the antler people, our own people!"

More than a dozen mobs looked at the siege soldiers who rushed into the Mud Gate with a hostile face, and immediately raised their hands and shouted loudly.

Tear!

The siege soldiers ignored what they were shouting at all, and cut their throats with their long swords without saying a word.

There was no special order from the commander of one's own side, and no identification of one's own people was worn.The siege soldiers acquiesced that the opponent was an enemy, and it was a military exploit!

Tear, rip!
More and more siege soldiers poured into the Mud Gate, and those mobs who threw themselves on the food carriage and ate their food ecstasy were constantly knocked to the ground by them.

"Run! They are attacking King's Landing!"

As a large number of mobs died, the sober mobs shouted and squeezed behind them, but there were too many civilians flocking from the Fisherman's Square.At this moment, the mob at the Mud Gate huddled together like swarms of black tadpoles in a summer pond.

Crack, crack, crack!
Boom boom boom!
The civilians in the second half of the Fisherman's Square seemed to have noticed the abnormality of the Mud Gate and were about to retreat.

Hundreds of soldiers holding kite shields and spears appeared out of nowhere.He set up shields and spears heavily behind them, and drove them towards the Mud Gate.

In fact, it's not just the direction of Fisherman's Square.From the Mud Gate area leading to Iron Street and the direction of the Mud Road, hundreds of soldiers with shields and spears suddenly appeared, driving thousands of civilians towards the Mud Gate.

The siege soldiers not only poured in from the gate of the mud gate, but also climbed up the tower of the mud gate from the siege ladder, occupying the entire tower of the mud gate.

Boom, boom!
When the siege soldiers were about to attack the left and right city walls from the mud gate tower.Two huge bowstring sounds sounded, and thick and long crossbow bolts were shot from the giant crossbows placed on the left and right city walls in advance, piercing through four or five siege soldiers.

Huh, huh, huh!
In addition to crossbow arrows, many arrows also shot from the walls on both sides, suppressing the siege soldiers who had climbed the tower of the mud gate again.

However, more siege soldiers climbed up the city tower from the siege ladder, completely occupied the city tower, and began to slowly attack the city walls on both sides with their shields.

"It's time to start!"

Seeing at least thousands of siege soldiers entering the Mud Gate, Cersei nodded to Varys beside her.

"What can we start? Stannis' army has entered the city, and this is your plan? Why don't I know anything!"

Joffrey, who was very panicked when he saw the siege soldiers entering the city, asked loudly after hearing his mother's inexplicable words.

Tweet!
Hearing what Cersei said, Varys took out a whistle in the shape of a bird from his arms, put it near his mouth and blew it directly.

click!
Under the city gate of Mud Gate, in Cersei's carriage, which no one cared about due to lack of food, an eight or nine-year-old bird crawled out from a dark compartment.

Hearing the continuous whistling in his ears, he took out the flint from his pocket, blew it red with his mouth, opened the lid of a large jar of green liquid in the dark compartment, and put the flint in.

boom! ! !
The strong explosion first started from Cersei's carriage, and the hot green flame burst open.The siege soldiers at the city gate of Mud Gate and the mob turned into charred corpses in an instant, and at the same time, wildfires hidden in many food carriages were detonated one after another.

Boom, boom, boom!
The sound of continuous explosions sounded one after another, and green mushroom clouds continuously rose from the gatehouse of the Mud Gate.

Tom, Tom, Tom!
Even though the city walls of King's Landing were thick and strong, they couldn't withstand such continuous wildfire explosions.

The city tower, which was built nearly 300 years ago, began to collapse, and large and small city wall stones fell like rain.
