leonardwarren Chapter 497
Chapter 497
Herrenborg, located next to the Three Forked River that divides the northern and southern borders, on the northern shore of Shenyan Lake, was built by Herron, the black heart of the Hall family, over a period of forty years. It is considered to be the greatest castle ever.
Blackheart Herron, the former king of the Iron Islands and the Riverlands, built Herrenborg in memory of himself, intending to build it into the greatest castle in the entire Westeros in order to stand out from others. It took him 40 years to realize his dream. Thousands of prisoners from other kingdoms died in the quarry or on the five huge towers. Countless fish beams were felled to provide oak and beams.
After completion, King Herron boasted that his new fortress was unbreakable, and it was true. But he did not consider Aegon the Conqueror and his dragon. The dragon will not be blocked by the high walls and towers. In the end, Herron was burned to death by the dragon in the highest tower, so this tower was called the Burning King Tower. Due to the extremely high temperature, the castle has a burnt black appearance.
Since the conquest of the war, the castle seems to have become a burden-too big and too expensive to maintain. Since the death of Herron, the castle has changed hands several times, and every noble family who got the castle suffered an unfortunate fate.
It is said that the castle was cursed and haunted by Herron’s reign of terror. Legend has it that Herron mixed human blood and mud to build the city. The curse prevented anyone from holding the castle all the time. All the families that had obtained Herrenborg were dead.
And now it is the Lannister family that actually controls Herrenborg, and there are also many soldiers from the Clegane family stationed there, and this group is obviously right now. As for the Lannister family soldiers, there are not many garrisons in the castle. After all, the main force is still in Kaiyan City, and under the leadership of Tywin, they must prepare to deal with Robb Stark.
In this case, Nangong Chao is really a bit tempted. In fact, there are many cities on this continent, but many cities do not have any strategic value. Even if it is occupied, it is completely useless.
The most important thing is that he now represents not himself, but a group of people with their own needs.
Even if these people from the Flagless Brotherhood are "indigenous people", it does not mean that they are NPs without any independent thinking. As the leader, if Nangong Yu's decision is meaningless, his subordinates will definitely have doubts, and even don't trust him. In the end, there will be only one tree and Sun San's fate.
Therefore, we can't just look at the main task, but also consider the overall situation of the group, and now he has an idea about this Harrenburg. It is the largest castle in the Seven Kingdoms. Although it has been destroyed by Dragon Flame, it only looks dark and functional.
Moreover, there are not many garrisons in the castle during this period, which is the best time to capture. Otherwise, when the Five Kings Rebellion is over, there will definitely be heavy guards. After all, there is also a very important strategic position.
Of course, even if there are not many garrisons, it is a relatively large number of troops. Compared with the 10,000 troops, there are at least a few hundred people, which is ten times the current level of Nangong Yu. Besides, they are still defenders, not attackers.
There is a saying in China's ancient art of war: the method of using soldiers, ten encircles it, five attacks it, and times wars it. It is also said that the method of siege is a last resort.
Why do you say that, because most of the siege needs to face the upward attack of climbing hills and ladders. This kind of attack was called ant attachment in ancient times. Because the ants are affected by the terrain, the casualty rate is very high, and the tactics like flooding and tunnel digging can only be realized in specific terrain and landforms, and they are not widely applicable.
With Nan Gongyu's current manpower, even if he goes crazy and wants to attack, his subordinates will definitely not do it, it is completely to die. But sneaking in secretly will not work, if it is a small city, it is okay, but the walls of Herrenborg are high and thick, with guards everywhere, even Nangong Yu is not sure not to be found when sneaking in, let alone other people.
So if you want to fight Herrenborg, don’t worry. After all, the main line has sixty days. During this period, the ultimate goal is to transform sixty thousand golden dragons into real combat power, food, and manpower. Holding coins is undoubtedly the slowest behavior.
At this time everyone had pulled out the corpses of the Clegane family soldiers, and put all the good armor on themselves, and the belongings were also searched. Then Nangong took them out of here, from the moment these soldiers arrived. Since then, the secret den in this cave can no longer be used.
"New boss, where should we go now?"
A group of people shuttled through the mountains and forests. Soros and Bailey were walking on both sides of Nangong. The former asked Aa with a smile, and Nangong Yu glanced at him, "Now we are going to expand our team."
"What do you want to do?" Bailey asked. He raised his sword to chop the thorns in the way, and asked without looking back: "I can feel that you are different from what we want."
"What do you want?" Nangong asked Xiang, "Just wander forever, and then die at will one day, right."
Bailey did not refute, they are indeed like this now, because they still have the spirit of chivalry, so naturally it is impossible to do looting, but now the battle of the five kings is fighting fiercely, the price of the entire continent is soaring, and it is impossible to rely on commissions or hunting. Living by yourself, coupled with the chase from Lannister, if one day is not lucky, it may be destroyed.
"Then what do you think?" Soros on the side said with a look of resistance: "I heard that you and Lord Ned have a very good relationship. Wouldn't it be that you want to bring us to join Robb Stark?"
"Do you have any opinion on Robb?" Nangong Yu was a little surprised by Soros's tone, and the latter shook his head.
....."
"Yes." Soros was shocked, only to realize that his new leader seemed to be the same age as Robb Stark, and belonged to a kid, so he suddenly laughed twice, "Haha, of course, Ivey is different, you But it's much more powerful!"
White glanced at Soros, Nangong Shuo looked straight, and solemnly said: "I want to develop our power, and I want to belong to our city.
As Soros and Bailey are important management talents, Nangong Yu will naturally not hide his thoughts from them. In fact, it is not easy to act if they don't explain it clearly.
As for the two of them, their eyes widened at this time. They looked at Nangong Yu in an incredible way. Soros blinked, looking at his little leader, and asked with some uncertainty: "You mean, you want A city? A city of dozens of us?!"
