The Shoemaker's Square in King's Landing is a relatively prosperous market square. In addition to the large and small shops on the street, there are many scattered merchants in the middle of the square doing business in leather ceiling stalls.
The main business here is the fur business. Therefore, the goods transported by caravans of all sizes from the north through the King's Road must be collected and distributed here.
There are four entrances to the entire Shoemaker's Square, namely the entrance to the northwest staircase alleyway near the Gate of the Gods, and the gravel street leading to the Old City Gate and Rhaenys Hills in the northeast.
The southwest is close to the intersection of Steel Street and Lion's Gate, and the southeast is to the bluestone street of Baelor's Great Sept.
At this time, Ed and the Winterfell cavalry were fighting fiercely with the golden robes blocking the staircase alleyway. At the other three entrances, mixed teams of about forty people were constantly clearing the crowd and heading towards this
direction is approaching.
Robb's eyes kept scanning Cobbler's Square, looking for a possible breakthrough location.
Do you want to use a trump card?
After a search with no results, Robb felt a little hesitant. On the second day after arriving in King's Landing, he encountered this sudden siege, which completely disrupted his plan.
If the trump card is used in advance, it will be difficult to realize the plan to rescue his father Ed.
Secret door!
Suddenly, Robb remembered the secret door that Varys left, and immediately turned around and entered the store kitchen, removed the wooden cabinet, and opened the secret door.
A few minutes later, Robb walked out of the secret door with an ugly expression. This secret door could only reach an unused residence behind the shop.
For the golden robes and Lannister soldiers who were bound to turn this encirclement upside down, hiding here was just a delay in being discovered.
We can only break through forcefully!
Robb, who was at his wits end, bit his lower lip and made a decisive decision in his heart.
But you can’t break through blindly!
The person who commanded the siege anticipated that they wanted to escape from the Northwest Gods Gate, so they arranged a lot of golden robes here in advance.
To the southeast is the bluestone street leading to Belle Cathedral. The street is spacious and easy to navigate, and the view is good.
But because of this, in this direction, all we need to do is ambush a group of archers in the dark and wait for Robb and the others to fall into their trap.
Then, there are only two directions left: southwest and northeast!
After pondering for a moment, Robb was about to turn around and run towards the staircase alley, but as soon as he lifted up one of his legs, it stopped in the air.
How do these enemies know we are here?
Because he was in a hurry to meet the enemy, Robb had no time to think about the problem, and now he suddenly reacted.
At this stop, there were only Ramsay, Sam, Varys, and the people who came to the store in King's Landing.
If it was the first three who leaked the secret, they would have been caught directly at the city gate.
Therefore, what Wallis warned him was true!
There is a spy among them!
However, if the spies were in this group of people, they could have attacked me from behind when I was facing the enemy just now, controlled me, and made others use their weapons to attack me.
In this way, he, the secret agent, must be the first to succeed in this siege operation.
But he didn't do that.
So, this means that the spy knows that I can't escape today and that his identity is still valuable. He doesn't want to expose himself and wants to return to Winterfell to continue to obtain information.
However, his goal of surviving back from King's Landing alone is too big. If it were me, among the group of people today, except for me, I would definitely be caught, and several others would definitely be allowed to escape alive.
In this case, then I might as well take advantage of the plan...
Let other brothers who are loyal to me live as long as possible.
"Brothers, listen to me, we have been surrounded by gold cloaks and Lannister soldiers.
Now let me tell you how to break out..."
Time was limited, so he didn't think about it further. Robb roughly thought of a plan in his mind.
He rushed to the corner of the staircase alley and told the Winterfell cavalry who had not participated in the battle a breakout plan.
In the Shoemaker's Square, three teams of forty people formed a mixed encirclement team, bypassing the ceiling stalls from three directions, and were very close to the staircase alley where Robb and the others were.
As long as they complete the encirclement, then Rob and the others will really be unable to fly.
Suddenly, a large plume of thick smoke rose from the stairway and alleyway. The soldiers in the surrounding teams from three directions looked at each other and quickly quickened their pace.
"You protect the adults and break out, hurry up, leave quickly!"
The three Winterfell cavalry who blocked the golden robes in the staircase alley suddenly slashed with their swords desperately, frantically exchanging wounds for wounds, while shouting loudly.
The golden robes on the opposite side were obviously frightened by their crazy behavior and subconsciously took two steps back to avoid their sharp attack.
The remaining nine cavalrymen who used the flints they carried to set fire met with Ed who had retreated from the staircase alleyway, and escorted the hooded man in the center of their team, who was wearing the clothes of a caravan leader, to break through the streets in the northeast direction.
.
At this time, the scene at the intersection of the Staircase Alley was very chaotic. The gold robes in the front row were avoiding each other. The three Winterfell cavalry were going crazy before they died. The gold robes behind them, who could not see the situation, kept crowding forward.
Most of the shops in Shoemaker Square sell leather goods. The fire set by the cavalry before leaving spread very quickly, and when the leather goods burned, a large amount of smoke was emitted. For a while, thick smoke billowed in the lane, obscuring everyone's eyes.
Vision.
The eleven-man team of Ed that broke through the encirclement encountered an encirclement team walking quickly from the northeast just after walking more than ten meters.
For a moment, the soldiers were fighting hand to hand, blood splattered everywhere.
This encirclement team of nearly forty people was several times larger than Ed and his companions. However, the momentum of both sides was completely different.
The Winterfell cavalry, all with excited expressions, as if their eyes were bloodshot, charged forward without any defense.
Even if they are hit by several swords and only have one breath left, they still have to desperately hug an enemy so that the comrades behind them can smoothly finish the blows.
The Lannister soldiers in the encirclement team were better. They were all elite warriors of the Raging Lion family. Even though their morale was low, they would not be frightened by them.
But the golden robes who usually bully the weak, bully the common people, and arrest homeless people and thieves have never seen such a desperate posture.
When several brave soldiers in front fell to the ground spraying bright red blood, these sleek gold-robed men hid in the shops on both sides.
In the middle of the road, only the Lannister soldiers were left fighting with the Winterfell cavalry.
The human heart is very strange!
At the beginning, the encirclement soldiers and the Winterfell cavalry were still fighting back and forth. Although they lost several teammates, several people on the Winterfell side also fell.
However, when the golden robes retreated to a nearby shop, strange thoughts suddenly arose in the minds of the Lannister soldiers.
If you don't work hard, why should we work hard?
The morale of the encircling team collapsed instantly.
With only seven people left, Ed's team used this crazy and desperate force to break through the encircling team.
In the narrow staircase alley, corpses, blood, and thick smoke were mixed together.
The brave spirit of the three Winterfell cavalrymen who bravely cut off the rear gradually faded away.
They had numerous large and small sword wounds on their bodies, and the soft leather armor on their bodies was stained with blood.
"Ahem, Pia, you still owe me two silver deer. Ahem, remember to pay me back in the next life!"
A Winterfell cavalry whose original appearance could no longer be seen was choked by the smoke behind him and kept coughing. He squeezed out the last bit of strength in his body, slashed a man in gold robes, and said to his comrades beside him in a hoarse voice.
.
Barla!
The comrades beside him could not hear his words at all, because a long sword penetrated his comrade's mouth and penetrated straight to the back of his head.
Without hearing the answer from his comrade, the Winterfell cavalry turned his head and saw that the golden robe was withdrawing the sword from his head. He barely pulled out an arc from the corner of his mouth, and laughed and cursed in a low voice: "Ahem, bastard, look.
Come on, you've settled this bill!"
Tear!
The golden robe who came up from behind easily tore the cavalryman's throat with a sword, and hot blood spurted out.
