Quanyou: I loaded the Demon Hunter system

Chapter 197 The Lion Opens the Door for the Deer

Today's siege is over, and His Majesty King Renly Baratheon's army is retreating angrily, leaving behind the corpses of about 2000 people.

In fact, in today's battle, they did not know how many times they rushed to the city wall of King's Landing.

The Crowned Stag Banner and the Golden Rose Banner also stood on the gate of King's Landing for quite a long time.

But it's a pity that it was almost, really almost!
Originally, King Renly Baratheon and his vassals thought that Lannister's failure had been revealed, and they were just hanging on with their last breath. After all, they had no way out.

However, after a whole day of fighting, the combat effectiveness of these people from the western region returned to what it was before, even better than before.

The Stormland Army and the Reach Land Army, under the command of Lord Randyll Tarly, with the lofty enthusiasm to go home after this battle, launched attack after attack without regard to casualties.

This was a huge offensive. Renly's army launched an attack from six directions at the same time, and the hastily made siege weapons were also pulled up. It can be said that they exhausted all their strength.

The result...was not satisfactory. 2000 people died on the spot, and more than 6000 people were injured to varying degrees.

The light ones are just some small openings, while the heavy ones have broken arms and short legs, and injuries to internal organs abound.

With the treatment level of Renly's army doctor, it might be the best arrangement for those seriously injured to be sent to the monks of the Seven Gods.

Therefore, after this battle, Renly actually lost nearly 1 people. Although his total army exceeded 1, he lost people in the first battle, plus the damage from the previous siege.

King Renly Baratheon now has more than 4 people who can be directly transferred to the battlefield.

The army is not all combat soldiers. The auxiliary arms also occupy a certain amount of the army. The number of heavy soldiers, grooms, and various logistics personnel accompanying the army, etc., is not a small number.

King Renly Baratheon, who had always maintained an elegant appearance, lost his composure in front of his courtiers after hearing the battle report. He blushed and roared at them:

"1 people! 1 people! My army paid 1 people, but they still haven't killed all these Lannisters! Are they made of iron?!"

Everyone lowered their heads, and even Earl Landau Tarly, who liked to argue with him, kept his face cold and silent. As the commander-in-chief of all armies on the battlefield, he must also be responsible for this failure.

Renly walked quickly back and forth in the large fur tent with a huff when he suddenly felt a chill down his back.

Maybe I can't fight so hard anymore.

He has never been on a battlefield, and he just walks around the camp every day, patrolling all sides, and letting every living warrior have a look at what his king looks like.

Renly has a good eloquence, and he also likes to give some morale-boosting speeches on the spot, but in the past two days, things have become different.

The morale of the soldiers began to drop rapidly. If they could get a tidal wave of applause, they now responded. Renly knew very well that the few applause might be because of the golden crown on his head.

Later, during a tour, Renly overheard a dying veteran say his last words to a recruit who was supposed to be his nephew:

"Little Norison, when His Majesty calls you, be smart and try to survive, this...is not our war..."

In an instant, Renly understood, raised his hand to stop the rainbow guard who wanted to rush over, and left with a sigh.

The veteran belonged to the Tyrell family, and was brought here by the enlistment order of the lord, and then died here in a daze, and his body would be buried in the forest next to the camp, where insects and ants would eat him.

This was Renly's war, it was Baratheon's war, and even the entire Stormlands nobles' war, but it was not a war like this veteran, an ordinary farmer from the Reach.

In addition to natural contempt, the people from the north and the west are also the most important part of fighting for good things.

But what do these Reach Farmers, who already have enough to eat and drink, get?

They came to fight King's Landing on behalf of Renly Baratheon. If they were defeated, King's Landing would naturally be the capital of King Renly. How could these soldiers be allowed to plunder?
The Stormlands are allies, King's Landing can't be robbed, why should they still rob Dragonstone Island, which is full of bird droppings?

So, in the final analysis, if this war is won, these Reach soldiers will get nothing, and if they lose, they will deserve their lives. For the sake of Renly Baratheon's ambition, how will they choose?
And this failure, the blow to the morale of Renly's army was actually fatal, just like the breath of a seriously ill man, although it was difficult, it still existed.

But today, the blood of 1 people broke up this last breath...

After the impotent rage, Renly took his nominal wife, Margaery Tyrell, who actually had nothing happened, to the deserted bonfire.

Margaery Tyrell, the Queen of Thorns' favorite Gauting rose, is actually very aware of the current situation.

She wisely chose not to say any meaningless comforting words, but just silently stayed by Renly's side, watching him drink heavily, the bright red wine flowing down the shallow Adam's apple, like blood.

Taking a sharp breath, Renly glanced at Margaery and said in a low voice:

"You know? The Tyrell girls, your army, may not want to fight for me now."

Margaery Tyrell pursed her lips and remained silent for a while before replying in a very weak voice:

"Your Majesty, if you allow them to take a little... from the defeated after entering the city, they will definitely feel honored for fighting for you."

Hearing this, Renly looked at Margaery Tyrell, whose face was still fair and flawless in the campfire, and smiled lightly, ignoring it.

From the perspective of the Tyrell family, they would of course be happy to see Renly Baratheon let them rob after entering the city. It was Renly's capital, not their Tyrell.

And, if Renly did sit on the throne, a weak, half-dead king would be a good king.

The Tyrell family sent 6 people to join Renly's army this time. It can be said that they have spent a lot of money. What they are seeking is actually the political status of the Lannister family during the period of Robert Baratheon I.

This is the evil result of the fall of the Targaryen family. All the big families are attached to this chair, and whenever they have the opportunity, they will use all means to infiltrate their own family's power.

Everyone knew that this was a terrifying vortex that was constantly devouring people's lives, but they kept going forward.

"Your Majesty, no matter what, we must not fail. Whether it is the idiot sitting on the Iron Throne or your ruthless brother, they will not let us go."

Margaery Tyrell realized that she had slipped some words just now, so she wanted to change the subject.

Just as he was about to continue talking, Brienne, one of Renly's rainbow guards, a knight from Tarth, wearing shining armor, hurried towards Renly.

Realizing something might have happened, Renly Baratheon left Margaery Tyrell and rose from the fire, waiting for the knight to arrive.

"Your Majesty, there is an emergency!"

Renly's rainbow guard opened his mouth before his king asked a question.

Renly Baratheon pressed his hand habitually, signaling the rainbow guard in blue robe to catch his breath before speaking.

"Your Majesty, news came from the scouts ahead that your brother Stannis' army seems to have entered the city from the direction of the Mud Gate."

Frankly speaking, Renly was dumbfounded...he stared blankly at the female knight who seemed to be telling a joke, and said nothing.

Then, he suddenly jumped up and roared, and the previous demeanor was swept away, as if it didn't exist at all.

"How is it possible! How could he enter the city? Just his army of fishermen can beat Tywin Lannister's city gate!?"

Both Brienne and Margaery Tyrell of Tarth were taken aback by Renly's sudden performance. Brienne bit the bullet and said:

"My lord, the scouts say it was Lannister who opened the gates and let Stannis's army in."

Responding to her words, it was Renly Baratheon who roared even more frantically and hysterically:

"Crazy! Tywin Lannister is crazy! Does he not want the throne under his precious grandson's ass?"

No one answered him, and all the guards who heard and saw this scene avoided far away, and expelled anyone who walked this way.

I don't know how long it took before Renly calmed down. He still couldn't understand why Tywin would open the city gate to his brother. He even suspected that this was a private decision made by the city gate guards.

But no matter what the truth is, what we have to do now is to prevent Stannis from entering the city smoothly!

After thinking about this, he immediately gave an order to Brienne who was standing aside like a sculpture:
"Quickly, order Randyll Tarly to immediately take all our cavalry and charge towards the Mud Gate. We must prevent Stannis' army from entering King's Landing!"

"I understand Your Majesty, I will do it now!"

"Also, order our army to be on alert, call everyone up, and put on their armor. I have a hunch that there may be a big battle tonight."

Brienne left in a hurry, she had to convey Renly's order quickly, but standing beside Renly, Margaery Tyrell, who keenly noticed that her husband's body was trembling slightly, looked Hesitant expression.

She wanted to dissuade Renly from mobilizing troops at this time. He had just experienced a big defeat today, and it was a big taboo that anyone could understand to summon the army in such a hasty manner.

However, she can't say this, because she also understands that if the old and cunning Tywin and Stannis really get along with each other, and Stannis's new troops enter the city again, then the situation will really be reversed. up.

In the entire army, there are a lot of nobles up and down who can afford to lose. If you lose a little army, you will swear allegiance to the new master. Neither Tywin nor Stannis will do anything to them .

And their famous rebellious chief villains may not end well. Renly, he is his own brother. Stannis may not kill him, but it is normal for him to be locked up all his life and not be able to see the sun until he dies. .

As for the Tyrell family, the Gardener family where King Meng En of the Bend belonged was uprooted and replaced by the Tyrell family. In the past few hundred years, there are not a few people who have been staring at the position of the Tyrell family.

Therefore, they can't afford to lose. Tonight, they must give it a go.

Harsh bells rang in the huge camp like a small city. The soldiers who had just fallen asleep were kicked awake by the legionaries roughly, and began to put on their armor cursingly.

Many of them spat on the ground and cursed King Renly for not letting them sleep.

Originally, this was a crime of decapitation, but tonight, the officers next to them just gave them a cold look, with no intention of stopping them at all.

It took Lando Tully about an hour to integrate the cavalry units scattered across the six city gates, and then, with these cavalrymen who didn't know what was going on, rushed towards the Mud Gate past.

It wasn't that he was rigid, but that he didn't gather enough cavalry, and he couldn't break through the formation of Stannis infantry when he went up wave after wave.

And when the sound of horseshoes resounded along the banks of the Blackwater River, Lando Tarly closed his eyes in pain when he saw more than half of Stannis' army had already entered. He realized that no matter how fast he was, he would still be late.

For the sake of this, what else is there to say, come and go, is it still a man if you don't fight a battle before leaving?

Then Randyll Tarly's cavalry rammed hard at the tail of Stannis's army.

……

When the battle started outside the city, Stannis Baratheon couldn't hold back his excitement, and quickly moved towards the Red Keep.

Along the Hook Lane, Stannis took a short cut, followed by a thousand majestic and fierce cavalry.

He really didn't expect that Tywin Lannister actually kept his promise and opened the gate of King's Landing to him.

Originally, he was fully prepared for what kind of tricks Tai Wen might use. However, when he really entered King's Landing City and his soldiers had completely controlled the Mud Gate, he believed everything in front of him.

The scouts sent to find the way told him that the gate of the Red Keep was also open, and the Lannister defenders were not there, and it seemed that the throne room was still lit.

Stannis Baratheon thought about it, and decided to march towards the throne room with a thousand of the most elite cavalry. Anyway, the streets of King's Landing are wide, and if he really finds out that something is wrong, as long as his troops control the Mud Gate, he will definitely can escape.

Tywin Lannister really kept his word tonight.

And he did send someone to open the muddy door for Stannis Baratheon.

The old lion still speaks a little bit of credit occasionally.

The problem was that the door was opened, but it was a bit too many, and Tywin had no intention of meeting Stannis at all.

All his troops withdrew from the city gates, and all the gates... were opened.

How could Tywin Lannister actually kneel and surrender like Stannis?

Trees move to death, people move to live, since King's Landing is a big tomb, then Tywin Lannister will jump out of this big tomb.

Since you two Baratheons like this place, I'll give it to you.

look!How considerate of me, I opened all the doors for you, and saved you from climbing the wall.

So, roaring the flag of the great army, it appeared at the dragon gate where Renly's army was the least...

At night, it was even more chaotic.
