Rosso Frey's wife is Leona Lefford, and her maiden family is the lord family of Golden Teeth City.
Although she is not the sister and daughter of Count Leo Leford, she is still a real relative within three generations, and they still have contact with each other on a regular basis.
"I can use this group of relatives to pretend to surrender, and then open the city gate at night. At that time, as agreed, Lord Arthur can lead the troops to attack." Luo Suo said.
Arthur glanced at the man's ugly face, then turned to Qyburn, who was in charge of intelligence, and asked: "Where is the Earl of Golden Teeth City now?"
The reason why Qyburn is put in charge of intelligence is because he has the habit of writing down things in notebooks, which is much better than most nobles.
The latter often only use the impressions in their minds as intelligence, which sometimes delays things.
Qyburn flipped through his notebook and quickly replied: "Count Leo Leford died after falling into the river during the Red Fork River blocking battle led by Lord Edmure. His wife is said to be in Tywin's main force in the West.
In the army."
"Look, your relatives are not in Golden Teeth City. The person in charge there now is named Davon Lannister. This man has blond hair and a golden beard, and is also brave and steady. He is one of the few accomplished people in the younger generation of the Lion family. He is known as Davon Lannister.
People call it the Golden Lion. If you throw yourself in like this, people will definitely be suspicious! If you don't let your people get close to the city gate, the chance will be much smaller."
Arthur felt that it would definitely not work if he threw himself in like this.
"Is there any other way?"
Rosso touched the mole on his face and said dissatisfied.
The nobles were also curious about what better way the coach had, and more than twenty pairs of eyes looked at Arthur.
"I can make this more believable."
Arthur looked Rosso up and down again and felt that he could use some tricks to make the fake surrender more reliable.
"Look, you are Frey, whom most nobles look down upon. Your family has usurped the marriage position of two Stark families. Won't the people of the North have conflicts with you? If the war doesn't go well,
Someone must be taking it out on Frey, and you are short, ugly, and lame. Isn't this a coincidence?"
The Frey family is originally at the bottom of the despised chain of noble families, and Frey, who is at the bottom of the succession order, is even more at the bottom of the bottom. And for someone like Rosso, who has neither a figure nor an appearance, after leaving the Twins City,
I'm just afraid no one will take him seriously.
Rosso suddenly felt something was wrong, "So what do you mean?"
"If some arrogant northerner beat up Rosso, and he surrendered out of resentment and went to find relatives, wouldn't this seem much more reasonable?"
Arthur smiled and said loudly to everyone.
Immediately, some people from the north reacted. Rona Stout stood up from the simple chair and took over the matter.
"I can help. This is working for the King of the North. I won't be tired of beating him ten times. Please let me do this, Lord Arthur."
The Great Jon also stood up and glared at Rhona Stowe with his slightly "smart" eyes, "As long as I am here, it will be your turn to serve His Majesty Robb. Please do not do such offending things."
I'll do it."
Rosso was extremely reluctant, "We have to stop fighting. Just wait until I sneak into Golden Teeth City."
"Davon is not a fool, so this matter is settled. After we set up camp outside Golden Teeth City, we will let Lord Jon Umber be responsible for beating people, and try to greet people in the face as much as possible to make them look miserable."
Arthur looked around and discussed the details of this painful plan before letting the tired people disperse.
Two days later.
The simple Golden Tooth City stands between the cliffs on both sides. Like the Twin River City, if you want to enter the West from the River Avenue, you must pass through this castle.
But unlike the Frey family, the Lefford family, the lords here, did not become rich by charging mountain entry fees.
The source of the Leffords' wealth is the gold mine hidden in the mountains.
Although most of the gold mines near Golden Tooth City belong to the Lannister family, the Lefford family who participates in the management can also get a lot of gold.
This not only makes them rich, but also makes their relationship with the Lion family unusual.
Lefford can be called Lannister's confidant family.
Since it was wartime, there were many Western soldiers patrolling the city walls.
Soon someone discovered a large number of enemy troops arriving from the north.
A centurion captain took a cursory glance and said, "At least more than two thousand, less than half a league away from us, and they don't bring any large siege weapons. There is a threat, but not a big one."
Before the Targaryen family conquered Westeros, the River Kingdom and the Westerland Kingdom fought for four to five thousand years, and the Golden Tooth City was basically never captured by an attack from the Riverlands.
After the captain asked his men to continue patrolling, he personally took people to report the matter to Lord Lannister, who was in charge.
Although there were cavalry such as scouts outside the city, but they had not entered the city to report the arrival of the enemy troops until the army arrived within one league of the city, they were probably killed.
After hurriedly walking down the north gate wall, the captain led people to the main castle where the noble knights of the Western Region were located.
"You dare to put this small force at the gate of Golden Teeth City? Could it be that Edmure has begun to take charge of the enemy forces in the Riverlands again?"
After listening to the report, Davon, who was wearing the black ring armor of the Lion family, curled his lips disdainfully and asked the captain to continue performing the mission.
"How should we deal with it?" asked a young noble from the Western Region.
Da Feng thought for a moment and said, "Calculating the time, this army should have come from the Eastern Front. These are all infantry. Maybe there are also old acquaintances of mine."
He looked at the noble knights from the West who were arriving one after another, and announced his order: "We will stay in the city. They can't attack with their strength anyway. If they want to go around the mountain road, then we will send cavalry."
Harass them along the Hejian Road, but don’t do it forcefully.”
Robb's men and horses are constantly decreasing. As long as the people of the West are given time, they can trap the Young Wolf Lord to death in the mountains of the West.
Therefore, locking down the Western Territory is the top priority for fortresses such as Golden Tooth City.
Everyone was ordered to go back to rest when they saw that they were not going to fight now.
In the next day or two, the enemy forces outside the city launched several probing attacks, including carrying a single cart into the city gate, but the defenders easily repelled these attacks.
Although it was known that the commander of the enemy army was the peerless warrior Arthur Bracken, most of the nobles and soldiers in the city felt relieved.
"I used to listen to his impressive performance, and thought he was so powerful. But in the end, he didn't even know how to attack a city, and he only sent one or two hundred people to carry carts and hammer the city gates."
"He's just a reckless man. Apart from being handsome, what other advantages do he have?"
"Golden Tooth City has never been captured by the River People from the north. This reckless man's military vision is not as good as Edmure's."
"That's right, Xiaoyu at least only sent people to block the river road, and didn't send people to die to attack the city."
Such discussions can be heard everywhere in the castle.
On the third day of the siege, an anecdote made Arthur a joke among the defenders.
"I heard that there was a fight between the Northerners and Hejian people outside. Several Hejian people were tied to the flagpole and were whipped several times."
"Not only have I heard about it, I have also seen it with my own eyes. Their camp is very sparse and not far from the north gate. When they beat people, the screams could be heard very clearly."
"He can't even control his subordinates. This Arthur is really a brainless idiot."
This incident also reached the ears of Da Feng and other Western nobles, which greatly increased their confidence in guarding the castle.
At night, more than twenty figures quietly walked to the north gate of the city.
"Open the door quickly, I am Earl Lefford's uncle."
With so many people, the soldiers and captains patrolling the city did not dare to make a decision, so Da Feng was invited to the north gate.
People outside the city were asked to report their names and families.
"Frey family, I am Rosso Frey, my wife is Leona Leford, she is Count Leo's cousin."
The gold mines under the Lannister family's name are mainly distributed in Casterly Rock City and Golden Teeth City, and the Lefford family has been managing and guarding the nearby gold mines for the Lion family, so Davon also has to consider the ideas of the owner's family here.
He ordered the steward, bachelor and others to come and then identify on the city wall whether they were relatives of Count Leo.
"That's right, it's Mr. Rosso. His lame features and mole are very obvious."
So people outside the city were allowed to enter the city. Of course, the defenders made them drop their weapons first.
After entering the city, except for Rosso and a few Freys, the remaining soldiers had swords held on their necks, waiting for Rosso to give a reasonable explanation.
"That's it..." Rosso then explained the cause and effect in detail.
After Frey stole Robb's marriage partner, he was even more disdainful by the people in the north. After the death of Lord Meech Severn, the forces of the Severn family began to target the Frey family in an extreme way.
As the Northerners ridiculed the Frey family for their efforts in front of the King of the North but could not, Rosseau explained the relationship one by one.
"As you know, they look down on the southerners and think that we are weaklings who only show off our strength in tournaments. We, Frey, are the bugs and weasels in their mouths."
"I have been detained here for the past two days. The people in the North are dissatisfied with Arthur's command, but they vent their anger on us Frey. And because of my appearance and figure, I have been scolded and insulted by them."
"I replied, and they attacked me. I tied them to the flagpole and beat them. Since there were many nobles in the north and they had a good relationship with the false king Robb, Bracken didn't dare to go against them. He let me and
Several nephews were beaten for a long time, but they still beat me in front of my wife’s natal house.”
"In a fit of anger, I took several nephews and servants who were dissatisfied with the Northerners and defected to the Lannister family. My second brother Emmon Frey is also in the West, and he will vouch for me."
"My lords, please take a look." Rosso raised the torch in his hand near his face so that the people in the West could see how miserable he was.
This was a face that could not be described in words of horror. The two small glasses were as swollen as the bulging eyes of a frog. There were bruises everywhere from the forehead to the neck. The upper lip was bleeding and the nose was crooked.
After showing his miserable condition, Rosso gritted his teeth and said: "I swear, I will kill Jon Amber who beat me. No, every time before he is beaten to death, I have to ask the bachelor to revive him, and then
I beat him half to death, going back and forth a hundred times, to get the tone I have."
Although the surrender was fake, the tone of killing the Great Jon couldn't be more true.
Rosso could even recall the expression on the Greatjon's face when he was actually doing the fake thing.
Even though Lord Arthur ordered a scene to be performed, the Great Jon still vented his hatred for Frey.
Da Feng and other nobles from the Western Region were very happy after hearing this.
You deserve it, who told you weasels not to join forces with us?
Holding back his laughter, Davon ordered people to let go of Frey's attendants.
"Arrange the rooms for these people, and the bachelor will go and treat Rosso's injuries."
Night was a time for rest, and after instructing the civilian-born soldiers to watch the night carefully, Davon returned to his room in the main castle.
On the fourth day of the siege, some people from the north outside the city shouted at the formation, demanding that the weasels that had escaped during the night be handed over.
Rosso and others then boarded the city gate and scolded each other all morning. By noon, both sides' voices had become hoarse.
This greatly increased the West March Army's trust in the Freys.
After all, if you are acting, you don't have the temperament to curse someone with death or almost risk your life.
The fourth night, around three or four in the morning.
While those sleeping were dead in sleep and the soldiers watching the night were also drowsy, Aegon the "Bloody" led his men to raid the north gate and then opened the city gate.
Arthur, who had been prepared long ago, was wearing bright silver plate armor and a golden cloak given by Sansa. He led a team of two hundred men to fight in and guard the city gate. The large army behind him was heading towards the north gate.
Hurry, they are much faster dressed up than the half-asleep Western Army.
However, the Western Army was not a vegetarian either. The bells were ringing and the drums were beating loudly. Most of the soldiers were awakened. The night watchmen had already put on their armor and came out to fight first.
The gate of Golden Tooth City is a bit narrow, about four to five meters. Arthur and a dozen people in the front row can already block the Western soldiers pushing back.
Seeing that the situation was okay, Arthur shouted: "Aegon the Blood, take a hundred men to the city wall to ensure that their trebuchets and crossbowmen cannot hit our people."
Aegon took the order and led a hundred sword and shield soldiers of the Frey family to charge onto the city wall.
Different from ordinary castles, each wall of fortresses such as Golden Teeth, Twins, and Harrenhal has several protrusions, which are used to facilitate crossbowmen to shoot to the enemy's sides and rear, and to place small trebuchets, etc.
If the Western Border troops were allowed to deploy on the city wall, countless casualties would also occur during the charge of the coalition forces in the distance.
However, Arthur's men were not large in number and he did not dare to waste them.
Hundreds of people started fighting at the north gate of Golden Tooth City, and more and more Western Army troops began to join the battlefield.
…
In front of the main castle, Da Feng, who had been awakened, was listening to the reports of his subordinates.
"The reckless Arthur is leading his men to guard the north gate. His giant hammer is really scary. After a round of fighting, the soldiers didn't even dare to step forward to fight."
"Where is the tower? Has the tower been lost?" Da Feng asked.
"There are about a hundred Frey soldiers on the city wall. The leader is the one who surrendered yesterday. Our people are rushing up."
If they are rushing upward, it means that there are not many Western soldiers left on the city wall.
Da Feng glanced at the noble knights of the Western Region behind him, "Do you have the confidence to take back the North Gate from the reckless man?"
Everyone looked at each other from left to right, but they all hesitated and said nothing.
"A good man, was he so frightened by one person that he couldn't even say a word?" Golden Lion Da Feng shouted.
Amory Lodge had a special status. At this moment, he had the courage to suggest: "The north gate has been lost, and there is still a lot of gold in the city. It is better to retreat to Sarsfield City with the gold and make plans."
Davon glanced at Rocky, the wild dog, with disgust, and had to admit that this was a relatively mature approach.
"Lefford and Sallott's family went to the Daku to prepare to escort the gold away. The rest of the people, starting from the north gate, lined up in teams of two hundred people in order to block the enemy in a step-by-step manner until the gold in the Daku was completely
Transport away.”
Davon ordered to the noble knights leading the army.
Seeing that his words were accepted, Rocky said tentatively: "My loyalty to Lord Tywin is known to the world. I can supervise the soldiers who send gold to each other to prevent them from doing tricks."
He himself had plundered tens of thousands of golden dragons from many small castles in the Riverlands, and now it was time to transport them away.
And you can also use some tricks on the way to get some of Lord Tywin's gold.
The gold in the Golden Tooth City's warehouse is not minted into gold dragon coins. If the account books are also destroyed in the war, there will be no trace of its whereabouts.
I think you want to transport the gold you snatched away with you! Da Feng could see what this person was thinking at a glance.
He said tactfully: "You are the best fighter in the city, how can you be a groom? I will give you the merit of killing Arthur. Take your people to fight at the North Gate."
"Everyone knows that I have the virtue of humility, so I can leave this great contribution to others." Rocky shied away, "Besides, I still have some property that needs to be transported away, so I won't go to the North Gate."
Seeing that this man was disobeying orders, Davon shouted: "Do you think our Lannister family will covet your little golden dragon? Today you must be the first to fight to the north gate, otherwise you will be punished as disobeying military orders."
This was a matter of life and death, and Rocky became tougher. He took a step forward, and more than a dozen soldiers followed him. Apart from not drawing their swords, they had clearly shown their attitude of disobedience.
It's just that there are more people supporting Davon. Most of the nobles and hundreds of nearby Western soldiers drew their swords on the spot, and dozens of crossbowmen also aimed at Rocky and his group.
Rocky rolled his eyes twice and knew that this situation was not going to be easy, so he gave up on the spot.
"I am a loyal subject of the Lannister family, how could I disobey orders? I will go to the North Gate to fight, but my golden dragon must be kept. These people around me can escort my gold."
"No problem." Da Feng waved, "Go quickly. If Daku's side moves quickly, you can retreat earlier."
The golden lion has already figured out how to use the gold that Rocky grabbed.
After Amory and most of the noble knights who led troops to snipe the enemy left, Davon gave the order: "Sir Gareth Clifton, you take a hundred men to the East Fort and take advantage of the chaos to kill everyone.
The nobles of the Riverlands."
Gareth is a small nobleman from Fairy Island, far away from the land, so he is not afraid of revenge from the Riverlands, so it is most suitable to send him to kill people.
"Sir Davon, is there something wrong with this?" Gareth himself is a viscount. Unlike wild dogs like Rocky and Magic Mountain, he has status and cannot do such dirty work.
Moreover, it was a common rule not to kill captured nobles.
After all, no one can predict whether he will be captured next. If this is the first time, he may be killed next.
"Tell the public that he died in the war. Go quickly. This is an important matter. If you do it well, my uncle Lord Tywin will be richly rewarded."
After Davon was perfunctory, he kept urging Gareth to work.
Seeing that the commander-in-chief had moved out his lord, Sir Clifton had no choice but to take people to do this dirty work.
Da Feng himself took about 500 lion soldiers to supervise the soldiers transporting the gold.
