Game of Thrones: I loaded the witcher system.

Chapter 172
"Damn, these Lannisters are so hard, when will this King's Landing be fought?"

At night, outside the city of King's Landing, in the center of the besieging army, a large group of nobles and lords from the Reach Land and the Storm Land stayed in the luxurious and spacious tent, chattering and chattering, fully discussing the current battle situation.

The person who just spoke was Earl Matus Rowan of Golden Tree City, a powerful nobleman in the Reach, who has been leading people to attack King's Landing City, which was defended by Lannister, for more than half a month.

But the problem is that this city is not only the capital of the Seven Kingdoms, it is also the largest fortress in the Seven Kingdoms. Targaryen has ruled the Seven Kingdoms for nearly 300 years and has been spending money to build the Seven Kingdoms.

The thick and heavy city walls built over hundreds of years, coupled with the personal command of Tywin, a veteran of the battlefield, and more than 2 Lannister troops, insisted on making such a large defense line of King's Landing City watertight.

Renly had an army of nearly [-], and after thousands of casualties, there was nothing he could do about this city.

Today, after hundreds more dead and wounded, King Renly I Baratheon ordered a halt to the attack.

Because, after counting, he found that even if the number of enemy kills reported by all the leading nobles is now tripled, the exchange ratio between Renly's army and Tywin has reached an astonishing five to one.

If this is the result of all calculations, Renly realized that his offensive these past few days, which seemed vast, was actually tantamount to tickling Lannister with his own life.

Renly could allow his warriors to be defeated by others on the battlefield. There is no one who always wins battles, but he couldn't bear such an act that was tantamount to death. In his opinion, this was stupidity!

After holding a grand banquet full of barbecue and wine as usual, the king summoned his vassals in his tent to discuss the next course of action.

"We have to think of a way. We can't play games with Tywin so foolishly anymore. King's Landing is his home field now. If we continue like this, we may be able to take down King's Landing City, but the blood of us people will have to be drained."

Renly was biting into a green apple. He was tired of the roast venison just now, and now he wanted to eat a tender fruit to relieve his boredom.

Therefore, when he spoke, his voice was a little slurred, because his mouth was full of unchewed apple pomace.

"Yes, Your Majesty, Tywin Lannister's ability to control soldiers is still very strong, and we have to admit that Tywin's army is better at fighting than ours."

Lando Tarly, the Earl of Horn Hill, spoke, but his words immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of many nobles present, and someone immediately shouted:
"Earl Landau, what do you mean by that? Is Tywin's army that powerful? Not long ago, more than 1 Kingslayers were wiped out by a young boy named Clay Manderly in the North. gone."

"That's right, Your Majesty, Earl Randall must be timid to fight. If it doesn't work, we will come instead. Our soldiers in the Stormlands can't help but want to rush into King's Landing and chop off the old lion's head."

Renly didn't say much about these words. Although he knew that what Ran Dao said was right, he still didn't like it when he said it so bluntly.

Renly has always been a very superior person. As a pampered brother of the king, he has never suffered any setbacks since he was a child. Except for his second brother Stannis who always suffers, everyone who sees him respects him. Plus.

After he became an adult, he successfully became the Minister of Justice of the Kingdom. At the same time, as the Duke of Storm's End, his status in the Seven Kingdoms can be said to be higher than that of his second brother, the owner of Dragonstone Island.

Even if his elder brother Robert died suddenly, and Ed Stark in the north rejected his alliance request, he could still find an opportunity to flee from King's Landing decisively, return there, gather the strength of the Stormlands and the Reach, and directly pull An army of 10 men was raised.

May I ask, in the entire Seven Kingdoms, who else is as successful as Renly?
But now, Renly's confident [-]-strong army was firmly blocked by a city wall, and Renly, who was trying to keep hitting the wall, got blood on his forehead.

Renly couldn't swallow this breath, so he thought of other ways to open the gate of King's Landing with less casualties, just like what Lannister did to Targaryen more than ten years ago.

Renly didn't care too much about the words of these nobles, because he was very aware of Lando Tarly's ability to command troops. He was a man who could bring his brother a complete defeat in the Usurper War. How could he be a coward?
"Then tell me, Lord Randyll, why Lannister is as fragile as a piece of paper under the offensive of the northerners, but becomes so strong in King's Landing. I don't think my fighters will be stronger than the northerners." Difference."

"Undoubtedly offended, my lord, in my opinion, we are now attacking the city, and when we first came here, our foothold was not secure, and Gregor Clegane led a sneak attack on our siege equipment. "

"Without them, the long ladder we hastily built is really useless against such a high city wall. You have watched the battle in the past two days with your eyes."

Renly patted the table impatiently after listening to Randall Tarly's words:

"Earl Tully, you didn't answer my question. Even if it's a siege, why is there such a big difference between the two wars?"

Facing the king's questioning, Lando Tarly sighed. He didn't want to talk about it at first, but the king brought it up and he still insisted, so he had nothing to do.

"Your Majesty, I have to say that under the leadership of that Clay Mandalay boy, the fighting power displayed by the northerners is indeed stronger than ours. Don't refute me, my lords, put you in the same position. How are you going to defeat an army of 1+ Lannisters head-on?"

Seeing that his face was flushed and he was still thinking about arguing, the nobles of the two realms were obviously not convinced, Lando Tarly made up the last knife coldly:

"Don't tell me that you can go up, remember, that Clay Mandalay only has a maximum of 6000 people in his hands, not even one-tenth of our army, and what is the level of equipment for the northerners? , you don’t understand?”

"So, I have carefully reviewed this war many times, and I have come to the conclusion that no one in this war can fight as well as Clay Mandler. If it were me, I would ask myself It’s impossible to achieve such a big result.”

In one word, the nobles who were bluffing just now were silenced. They could suspect other things about Lando Tally, but only on the military point, none of them dared to argue with Randall Tally. .

Whoever came close to capturing Robert alive, say it hard or not.

The tent was quiet for a long time before Renly, who was sitting on the main seat, let out a long sigh and said helplessly:

"That's why, I was not in a hurry before, but now I am so anxious to bring you to attack this King's Landing City."

"Ed Stark has always been my brother's hard-core supporter of the throne. In the original plan, I thought that the wolf and the lion would bite each other, and it would always be a lose-lose, but I didn't expect that the wolf directly took the baby The lion forced the old lion to submit, the war between them ended too soon."

"So, I'm worried, if Ed Stark continues to support my brother, and joins him in attacking from two directions in the northeast, rushing to take King's Landing before us, by that time, he will sit on the Iron Throne, Surrounded by troops who are accustomed to fighting, we are very passive."

"But Your Majesty, Eddard Stark is dead, and the news from Winterfell will not be wrong."

The nobleman in the river bend carefully reminded Renly, but Renly just nodded. He obviously knew the news a long time ago. He spread his hands and said more helplessly:

"But the problem is, who knows what Eddard Stark's good son will choose. He'd better stay in Winterfell and stay still. When I deal with these rebels, he comes to King's Landing and bends his knees to me. He guards the North."

"However, I'm worried that if this kid gets hot-headed, what if he puts a golden crown on his head? You all know that the title of King of the North has always been preserved in the history of the Stark family. Bar."

"Taking a step back, what if this little wolf cub chooses to go south to intervene? Our entire army is concentrated here, and there are not many soldiers on the Rose Avenue except for Lord Mace who is gathering soldiers in the rear."

"Your Majesty, you are... a bit too prepared for a rainy day. I think the Stark boy will stay in Winterfell, and he probably has to deal with the northern nobles who are staring at him, and , the Mandalay family just mentioned, after they took down the Twin River City, they are a big threat to the Stark family."

The one who spoke was Garlan Tyrell, the second brother of the Knight of Flowers, who is considered to be a relatively capable member of the Tyrell family. He has been silent until now before expressing his views.

"I hope, anyway, they don't want to delay our affairs, just make less trouble for us."

Renly stood up, and the nobles around him also stood up, and they came to the center of the tent, on the simple sand table of King's Landing City, Renly pointed to the city on the sand table, and said:
"Now, let's not think about Stark's affairs first, and think about how to take down this city before my dawdling brother arrives in King's Landing."

Lando Tully sighed. In fact, the best way to deal with King's Landing, a megacity with a population of several 10, is to surround it without fighting, because over time, King's Landing's own supplies will definitely not be enough.

Counting on Lannister's [-] troops plus a few thousand gold robes, they can guard the hundreds of thousands of extremely hungry mobs in the city?That is simply impossible. At that time, as long as the food is prepared on my side, the city will be self-defeating.

But now, time is running out, the war between the north and the west has completely disrupted Renly's plan, and where Stannis will attack next, Renly still has no idea.

This is the advantage of having control over the sea. The sea is a freeway extending in all directions without obstacles. As long as the fleet is in the hands of Stannis, he can fight wherever he wants. He is very free. The army on land dare not follow his army at all. And mobilize.

But if he fortified everywhere, he wouldn't be able to do it if he gave Renly 30 troops. The entire Westeros Stormland Royal Land Coast, the Shield Islands in the Reach, and the Old Town where the Academy City is located are all theoretically located in Stan. Under Nice's soldiers.

If Clay were to do this, as long as one or two slightly influential castles were selected for a surprise attack, the entire army of Stormy River Bend would be panicked.

However, who can guarantee that once the army is scattered, it will be able to gather again?If he failed once, the blow to Renly's prestige would be fatal.

Therefore, Renly, who understands these things, is very anxious to take down King's Landing as soon as possible. Only by sitting on the Iron Throne can he occupy the legitimacy of the entire kingdom. But now, after the bloody battle in King's Landing, his attack has been blocked, which makes him even more worried. up.

"Your Majesty, in the current situation, we don't have a good chance of breaking through the city, but we must never fight like before. My suggestion is to select a group of elite soldiers from our army."

"After that, we transferred this group of troops out of our army camp and hid them."

"Next, our army will continue to attack the Lannisters from morning to daytime without interruption, so that they will be exhausted and have no rest, and give full play to the advantages of our large number of soldiers."

"When they are completely exhausted, our army will choose one night, select the city gates in several directions to attack the whole army, put enough pressure on them, force them to mobilize the defenders of the remaining city gates, and then our elite troops will launch an attack, Take down the city gate in one fell swoop."

This is an interlocking plan, and at the same time, it is also an outright conspiracy, relying on the fact that the number of troops under Renly's command is large enough to dare to compete with Lannister.

Renly is outside, he doesn't have to defend everywhere, so he has the advantage of mobility, which means he can choose a city gate to attack at any time, but Tywin can't, he is in the city.

Once a section of the city wall is breached by others, it is almost equivalent to the entire city wall being abolished. Therefore, Tywin must distribute the more than 2 people in his hands roughly evenly around each city gate.

And Lando Tarly's plan is to force Tywin to move some of the defenders away from their original defense positions, leaving some city gates empty for defense, which is convenient for his own breakthrough.

This is not to say that Randall Tarly has only such a level, such a short time, and no siege weapons, and it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice. No matter how famous he is, there is no good way to deal with this situation.

In this regard, Lando Tully's performance is much better than this group of guys who can only talk high-spirited. The unification of the country is just around the corner.

They also didn't think about it, if the number of troops can really solve all problems, why is the Reach Land still the Reach Land and not the entire Seven Kingdoms?

Good wine and women, after a long time, will really make a mess of people, don't lie to me.
