Chapter 275 Raid
Domilik was reluctant, but still hurried towards the southeast.

The king needs to know what's going on there, that's his job.

But he, the guard who swore to guard Rob Stark, didn't know that this was the last time he saw a living Rob Stark, and he would regret his decision today for the rest of his life.

……

As Clay's army approached, Tywin Lannister, who was staying under Harrenhal, finally became impatient, because he found that Clay Manderly didn't care about the army he placed in Golden Tooth City at all.

Even if his son Jaime Lannister made a further offensive gesture, he didn't respond.

He lied to Littlefinger before that it was just bullshit that Jaime's army would come to meet him.

On such a long road, from the Western Region to Harrenhal, no matter how they go, they will find one thing, that is, there is always a long section of the logistics line that is not under his Lannister's control.

Without logistics, what kind of battle is there to let the soldiers below eat their hunger every day, right?
So, no matter what, Clay rushed forward regardless, and Tywin Lannister was really anxious, and he couldn't run away. He couldn't go to King's Landing to ask Renly or Stannis for help.

No way, Tywin Lannister chose to make a last-ditch effort before going to war. He wanted to take down Harrenhal, pinch the nobles in the north and Robb Stark, the king of the north.

In this case, he has a choice of retreat.

With the sudden snowfall recently, Tywin Lannister was keenly aware of the weakness of the defenders on the top of the city, and he knew the approximate number of defenders in the city. living.

In his opinion, this time, he sent people to pretend to be a surprise attack on the south side of the east gate, mobilized the attention of the defenders, concentrated the most elite forces of the entire army, and stormed the east gate in one go.

As long as the east gate is taken down, this time, at all costs, when the defenders are exhausted, from the whole of Harrenhal, as long as they can climb the city, none of the 2 people will stay, and attack with all their strength, so that the defenders will not be able to attack at all. There is no way to rush to the east gate in time.

We must buy time for the attackers at the east gate. As long as they can gain a foothold on the city gate and kill the defenders to open the city gate, then 2 people will rush in, and only Tai Wen estimates that there are about 3000 to [-] people. The northern army must not be able to resist.

This trick could not be used before, because it was a one-shot deal, and once it couldn't be beaten, the blow to morale would be devastating.

But now, Tywin Lannister must race against time. If he can't win this battle, he will be surrounded by the Clay army and the remnants of the Northern Territory who have been imprisoned by him for several months. , Enemy on all sides, that is the disaster of extinction.

……

Sure enough, Tywin Lannister specially sorted out a thousand white cloths from the army and wrapped them around the soldiers who raided the southeast. Then, these guys took advantage of the poor visibility in the snow and the camouflage on their bodies, The woods of the city were successfully touched under the city.

Then, it suddenly emerged from the woods and appeared directly beside the city wall.

At this moment, the soldiers on the northern frontier with a brazier on the top of the city were taken aback. From his perspective, almost instantly, the Lannister army appeared in the attacking position like a divine soldier descending from heaven.

Therefore, he didn't judge whether these people could attack the city, and directly blew the horn of the enemy's attack.

And for these 1000 people, they didn't even know that they were feinting. How could Tywin Lannister make such a mistake?

He took part of all the wealth he looted from the state treasury of King's Landing City, and rewarded these low-level soldiers who were originally bitter farmers. There was only one request, to attack Harrenhal with all their strength.

These poor people who have never seen the world are blinded by the shiny objects in the boxes, and Tywin Lannister promised to give them a good land after returning.

This time, the morale of this army was directly boosted, and they were not afraid of making their hands and feet cold, and their muscles stiffened by the severe cold. They immediately set up a long ladder and prepared to climb the southeast wall of Harrenhal.

1000 people sounds like a small number, but if they gather together, it is a playground... Ah no, it is a dense group.

As long as the rewards are enough, the soldiers attack the city with ants, such a scene, but judging from the visual effect, the pressure is very high.

Therefore, the garrison of only 200 people in this section of the city wall was frightened stupid when they saw these desperate soldiers from the western border, so the horn that conveyed the news was blown non-stop.

All of a sudden, the troops on the southern and eastern city walls began to separate some of them to drive to this section.

When they arrived, some Lannister soldiers wearing red and gold armor had already climbed to the top of the city first, and were engaged in fierce hand-to-hand combat with the defenders.

The city walls were in a mess.

In view of this, I didn’t know that Robb Stark, the commander of the northern army at the east gate, ordered the east gate to defend the army. Under the principle of confirming the enemy’s situation outside the east gate, 200 people were left, and the rest rushed to the southeast Wall support.

The current defense line of Harrenhal itself is a sieve covered by thin gauze, once a point is broken by the opponent, it will cause the entire defense line to collapse.

It can only be said that the commander of the northern border who is in charge of this section of the city wall is right in thinking, but it is hard for a clever woman to cook without rice, and I really can't blame him for the following things. After all, he only has 1000 people in his hands.

Domilik, the guard of Robb Stark, followed the defenders all the way to the southeast city wall, and also saw the scene of blood spattering in front of him.

Seeing that the defense line of the northern army was crumbling, Domilik was hesitating whether he should go up and help these brothers.

Being able to serve as Rob Stark's personal guard is naturally a skill in swordsmanship.

However, if he did this, he would not be able to complete the task His Majesty entrusted to him.

This is not acceptable to Domeric.

However, the so-called harm caused by the use of troops is the greatest hesitation, and the disaster of the three armies arises from suspicion.

With such a delay in thinking about it, Domeric was beheaded by a Lannister soldier who climbed up the wall in a daze.
Subconsciously resisting with a horizontal sword, Domilik fought with the Lannister soldier.

Although the opponent's swordsmanship was far inferior to his own, Domilik found an opportunity in two or three hits. The sword edge pierced the opponent's throat, and then kicked the opponent off the city wall with a flying kick.

But he started the fight here, and if he could start, it would not be easy to end.

Soon, more Lannister soldiers came to him.

Forced by helplessness and the idea of ​​self-protection, Domilik could only fight and retreat, and ping-pong-pong mingled together.

……

Robb Stark couldn't wait to come, Jon Amber didn't know he was here, and thought he was honestly staying in the lord's room in the Burning King Tower.

Only Theon Greyjoy found out that Robb Stark was missing, and asked all the way to find him in the sentry tower at the east gate. He was blocked by two guards and waited for news from the southeast with his eyes closed. Robb Stark.

"By gods, Rob, my lord, what are you doing here?"

Seeing Robb Stark open his eyes, Theon Greyjoy breathed a sigh of relief.

"Theon, do you know what's going on in the southeast?"

Harrenhal is a big fortress, and the distance between each direction is very far, it is not just knowing it.

Theon Greyjoy frowned, then shook his head, and said in a low voice:

"I came all the way to look for you. I don't know what's going on there. I heard the horn. Lord Jon Amber has already rushed over. Even if Lannister attacked the city, it should be no problem."

Just as the two were talking, the horn sounded again.

Robb Stark was about to say why it rang again, but then he froze, and Theon Greyjoy on the side also had the same expression.

Because the sound of the horn this time is right beside them.

Immediately afterwards, the two of them heard the hoarse shouts of northern soldiers outside the watchtower:
"Quick! Quick! The damned westerners are here!"

Robb Stark didn't know where the strength came from, and strode straight out of the watchtower.

He took a closer look, and immediately took in a breath of cool air.

I saw, on the Hejian field covered with a thin layer of snow, a large group of golden and red figures formed a neat square formation, rumbling towards them.

With just one glance, Rob Stark can tell that this time Tywin Lannister's army from the west is coming out in full force.

At least in front of this dilapidated east gate, the number of troops definitely exceeded seven thousand.

Then, a desolate horn sounded, this time, it was from the north.

That's where the North Gate is!
This time, no matter how stupid Robb Stark was, he knew it all. This time, it was Tywin Lannister's general attack on him.

"Rob, go, it's dangerous here!"

Theon Greyjoy grabbed Robb Stark's hand and tried to drag him away.

But Robb Stark's strength seemed to be fully restored the moment he saw the army of the Western Territory.

He shook off Theon's hand and said coldly:

"Dangerous fart! Can't you see it? The old lion has mobilized all his [-] troops, and the southeast side has held back too many of our troops, and now the north gate is also in a hurry."

"Morris, you should rush to the southeast as quickly as possible, find Lord Jon Amber directly, and tell him that his king ordered him not to care about the southeast affairs, and asked him to return to the army immediately to support the north gate."

Robb Stark calmly gave orders to a guard beside him.

Things happened suddenly, originally these things were done by special messengers, but at this juncture, where to find ready-made messengers?

As a last resort, Robb Stark could only ask the most confidant guards around him to do this.

Morris didn't have Domilik's hesitant character at all. Without saying a word, he galloped towards the southeast.

"Theon, I'm worried that there might be a problem at the north gate. Earl Gabert Glover over there was resting in the Widow's Tower when I left. I'm afraid he won't be able to get there in time."

"In this way, you go there first, stabilize the situation, guarantee the north gate defense line, and wait until Earl Gaibert comes to take over."

Robb Stark said.

Theon Greyjoy was in a hurry, and he asked directly:
"You transferred the guards away and sent me to the north gate. What about you? What do you do?"

His answer was a bang.

Robb Stark's left hand drew out the long sword hanging from Theon Greyjoy's waist.

The blade pointed out of the city, with a cold light shining.

"This is my battlefield..."
