The king on the Great Wall

Page 214

The sound of the horn crossing the river echoing in the air gradually dissipated, and at the same time, the rumble that had been ringing continuously before also disappeared.Of course, Strickland was not so naive as to think that the other side had run out of gunpowder and shells at this very moment. The other side probably reloaded that weapon and aimed it at the beachhead in his direction, preparing to see the blocking troops emerging from behind the embankment. In an instant, he showed his power again.

Although that new weapon has a long range, it can only threaten dense formations. Strickland has already figured out how to deal with it: disperse and batch.

Whether waiting or charging, each centurion keeps a distance from each other and attacks the opponent's river-crossing vanguard from multiple directions. It is impossible to bombard the beachhead across the river without distinction between the enemy and the enemy.

Under the watchful eyes of countless double river embankments, the army in black, which had stood for an hour in the cold wind, finally started to move. Under the commander's clamor and dancing, they were divided into three columns in an orderly manner. Trot onto the three pontoons.

Even though the prelude to the battle has sounded, the command of the Land Grant Army can still be described in one word: steady.

In order to prevent too many people crossing the bridge at the same time from causing too much pressure on the simple pontoon bridge, and to avoid confusion and drowning caused by soldiers pushing each other, the Land Grant Army gave up passing two rows of people at the same time and only let soldiers cross the bridge in a single row.However, while this move improves safety, it also sacrifices less than half of the traffic speed, providing the defender with more room for reaction and a larger attack time window.

Great? Strickland thought to himself, picked up the lens again, and looked at the land-grant army crossing the river, intending to observe the equipment and personnel configuration of the opponent?

Looking into the distance through the refraction of several pieces of glass? The scene 200 meters away was instantly brought closer to his eyes, and Strickland found that the first three rows of soldiers on the opposite side were not only tall and burly, but also all carrying giant shields—— That kind of door panel is average? A large shield that stands close to the height of a person and makes the whole person shrink back.

The first batch of soldiers to go ashore must face the attack of the shore defenders? The ability to hold their positions is particularly important. It is understandable to send shieldmen over, but after Strickland moved the lens direction a little, he accidentally discovered a small detail: those carrying large shields Soldiers? They don't appear to be armed.

The large shield is usually equipped with a spear, can it be anti-infantry or anti-cavalry? Occasionally, it can also be equipped with a sword, it all depends on the commander's idea.However, Strickland looked at several black-clothed soldiers crossing the river from one to the other. Not only did he not see any long and thick rods? He didn't even find any shorter swords. Hanging two big round iron balls, they are strung together with ropes and hung on the shoulders. They sway back and forth with the pace of crossing the bridge, which is very conspicuous.

Such a big iron ball, if it is solid, maybe two of them would weigh half a person. Is this a new type of meteor hammer, or...

Questions flashed through my mind, but I didn't have time to guess the answer.Strickland moved the observation point from the soldiers crossing the bridge to the follow-up soldiers on the river bed who were waiting to get on the bridge, and found something even weirder: the second group of soldiers behind the first group of soldiers who raised their shields not only carried Holding a spear, there are still two big balls hanging around their necks, and one of every two or three people is holding a torch!

It's broad daylight, what kind of nerves are they having?

Strickland felt a little uneasy, but the enemy was crossing the river in an orderly manner and set foot on the territory he was defending, and the speed of the changing situation of the battle did not allow him to continue to hesitate and doubt.

"Buddha flower!" he turned and shouted, "Go and bring the elephant over and join the first wave of battle!"

"okay!"

The tower shield soldiers who can protect the whole body of a person and join each other to form a shield formation are difficult bones. The purpose of the opponent sending this type of troops as the vanguard is to rely on their ability to defend the position to seize the beachhead and buy time for the follow-up troops to cross the river. After a while, most of the land-grant army was able to cross the river and land on the shore. Under the double pressure of guns and dragons in front, it was difficult for the incomplete Golden Regiment to take advantage of it.

Human weapons are difficult to deal with the shield array, and most of the siege weapons have been taken away by the retreating river bend army... Fortunately, the Golden Group still has war elephants.

This is the rarest but powerful unit of the entire mercenary regiment. Whether you are the Unsullied Legion that never retreats or the tide-like sea of ​​Dothraki cavalry, you will obediently break through when you are charged by an armored elephant. This thing has too much food to feed, its stamina is not suitable for frequent long-distance maneuvers, and its speed is not so interesting. Strickland has long ago ordered the cancellation of the cavalry system and replaced them all with war elephants.

At its peak before crossing the sea, the Golden Regiment had nearly thirty war elephants, but the sea transportation, death in battle, and unacceptable diseases caused a lot of losses to the war elephants, and now there are less than ten war elephants left.

But even if there is only the last one left, they are still the best weapon to tear through the shield formation.

When the Legion War Elephants, covered in golden blankets and ivory with weapons on their tusks, were wagging their heads and being led behind the river embankment, about a hundred enemies had already set foot on the south bank and began to build a semicircular defensive formation around the southern end of the pontoon bridge. It was still far from "half-crossing and attacking", but after all, it would take a few minutes to rush over the embankment. Strickland didn't dare to wait any longer, and ordered to charge immediately.

The golden battle flag that was brought down for fear of becoming the target of the bombardment was erected again. Ten centurions who had received the charge order stood up from their resting positions and climbed over the river embankment. A thousand heavily armed mercenaries, plus seven war elephants , Amidst the beating of war drums, they shouted and rushed towards the vanguard of the Land Grant Army who had not yet gained a firm foothold.

Chapter 603 Gold and Black

Except for the two younger war elephants who almost lost their footing due to the difference in "foot feel" when they crossed the embankment and set foot on the dry river bed, everything was carried out according to the pre-war deployment: ten centurions poured out of the resting place, from several directions They headed towards the small riverbank position of the Land Grant Army to encircle them.

Their combat formations seem to be chaotic on the ground, but they actually imply rules.If someone could look down from the battlefield at this moment, they would be able to find that the soldiers of the first batch of the Golden Regiment who charged were tightly huddled together in units of a hundred, and their speed was increasing from the middle to the two wings, thus forming an approximate semicircle as a whole.The distance between the teams is kept to prevent excessive shelling losses, and at the same time cleverly avoid being too far apart from each other... You are my forward, and I am his flank, supporting each other, and don't forget to fight with the elephant while running Maintaining the same pace will neither affect the wild running of the giant beasts nor block their way forward.

Without communicating with each other, and without looking back at the command of the flag order, only by a brief briefing before the battle, the soldiers fulfilled the command wishes of the regiment commander in sevens and eighties. The battle of the soldiers of the "strongest mercenary group" Literacy is evident.

……

"Rumble..."

As expected, a burst of white smoke rose in a string of faint flashes of light from the opposite river bank, and more than a dozen strange gunpowder weapons fired at the first moment when the soldiers of the Golden Regiment crossed the river embankment and charged. The sound of piercing flew towards the shorekeeper.

The continuous shelling for several hours did bring a huge blow to the morale of the River Bend Army, but at the same time, it also gave the Golden Group a general understanding and impression of this weapon that appeared for the first time.Thanks to the dispersed and batched tactics, most of the shells landed on the river beach and drilled a small hole with a bang; because the ears of the war elephants had been blocked in advance, the impact of the bang on these sensitive big guys was also extremely Limited... The fire, sound and impact caused a brief panic, but they did not stop the mercenaries from charging at all, and instead triggered the opportunity for the second group to enter the arena.

"on!"

In the loud order of the head of the regiment, the rhythm of the drums changed, and five hundred archers who were ready to go also fell down the river bank, lined up and ran wildly.

After listening to the gunfire for several hours, Strickland has already mastered the firing rules of this weapon: the short space after a round of salvo is the safest moment. Taking advantage of these tens of seconds, the second row of archers can quickly move forward. Optimal firing position for long-range fire support to the first platoon.

The casualties that can be saved by grabbing such a small amount of time are minimal, but any experienced commander should know: Sometimes, the victory or defeat of a battle is often determined by a slight difference in battle loss rate and morale.The lion fought the rabbit with all his strength. Facing the legendary enemy who defeated the White Walker, he would not let go of any chance to squeeze out the advantage and chance of winning.

Fifteen hundred soldiers and seven war elephants stepped on the frozen and bare river beach with rumbling footsteps. The golden battle flags, gold-plated armor, and the war elephants covered with golden blankets merged into two golden streams. The wave of the waves surged mightily toward the land-grant army, which barely formed a defensive formation—the small piece of black on the beach with its back against the river.

The second round of cannons rang out sparsely, but the results created were not as good as the first round. Strickland observed the situation and couldn't find any point to lose. Apart from being a little relieved, he felt a little regretful.

Maybe, we should put more enemies on the shore and then order the charge?

After all, even if they win right now, the enemy will only lose two hundred soldiers who were the first to cross the river. This number cannot be considered a traumatic injury or a great victory.

He raised the lens again and looked towards the enemy's position, wanting to record the response of this powerful enemy to this unsolvable situation.

As expected, the shield bearers put their shields on the ground and leaned against each other to form a shield wall, while the soldiers of the second row of land-grant soldiers hiding behind the shields quickly took the two big iron balls hanging around their necks. Come down, cut the rope with a knife, and then...

Then Strickland knew why the enemy had to carry torches in broad daylight. In the small circular field of view of the lens, he clearly saw those black-clothed soldiers holding "iron balls" and approaching the nearest torch to light it. What, then turned around suddenly and threw those balls out!

Incendiary!

Strickland realized what it was in an instant, but the battle at the front line was close to the melee stage where the two armies collided. He could no longer and could no longer remind the soldiers of this key discovery. He could only hope in the cold of winter And the conscious performance of the soldiers on the spot can minimize the effect of the opponent's fire attack.

200 meters, 100 meters... Even closer, the archers of the Land Grant Army on the docked ship have already thrown their first round of arrows, causing double-digit damage, and the archers of the Golden Regiment have also rushed to the combat position to risk The third round of artillery fire launched a counterattack, arrows densely crossed the friendly formation, or were nailed to the giant shield of the Land Grant Army, or fell into the back row and hit the unlucky guy who had just stepped off the pontoon bridge, causing sporadic screams and screaming.

As for the ten centurions that first started to charge, they also began their skillful dynamic changes after approaching the Land Grant Army shield formation on the water bank.

This is a task that ordinary peasants and soldiers "elites" can never complete. This is an operation that can only be successfully completed when veterans of many battles account for the majority. , Rich experience knows how to maximize the results of the battle and minimize casualties in order to gather the result: the first thousand infantrymen who entered the battle slowed down, and at the same time slowly moved closer to the nearest war elephant, from charging side by side to silently After becoming a trailing war elephant, a sparse long and narrow semicircular line changed into seven conical offensive formations with war elephants as pointed ends.

Fiercely headed straight for the shield formation of the Land Grant Army!

Amidst the heavy panting and shouts of killing, the commanders of each team clearly saw the ball flying out of the opposing team over the shield, but no one was at a loss, let alone panicked.The Golden Regiment traveled all over the world and fought countless battles. It was naturally impossible for them to see throwing weapons. In just a split second, they made the same "incendiary bomb" as the leader based on the white smoke from these balls. Judging, but was pleasantly surprised to find that the opponent's battlefield officer seemed to have a problem with the distance estimation, and gave the throwing order two seconds earlier, and those dozens of big black guys, just like this, plopped in front of thousands of eyes. The plops fell one by one in front of their charging path, and none of the soldiers hit them!

Hahaha!

During the fierce running, no one had the lung capacity to laugh out loud, but the mercenaries of the Golden Corps who saw such a huge mistake by the enemy were all shocked, shouting with full morale and starting to sprint and accelerate!

If it's an incendiary bomb, why doesn't it shatter and catch fire when it touches the ground?The officers at the frontline were not all overjoyed, and some of them noticed something abnormal, but the situation on the battlefield changed so quickly during the charge phase, they were only tens of meters away from the enemy's shield formation, and those big balls fell on their toes How can there be time for them to stop and think or study?They could only be surrounded and pushed by the robes behind them, shouting to remind their companions while stepping on those balls.

"Beware of Molotov cocktails! Don't touch or step on—"

Before he finished speaking, he was completely overwhelmed by the loud bang that was close at hand.

Chapter 604 Gold and Black

As the first human army in the world of Ice and Fire to engage in field battles with the Land Grant Army, the Golden Regiment's performance is remarkable, and it can be said that they are not bad. However, what they encountered was not the ordinary shield infantry they imagined, but Westeros The first ever grenadier unit.

Although the artillery has been installed, the brutal technology of flowering bombs will not be lit for a while, so Iger still can only take out the explosive bombs that have made great achievements in the war against the White Walkers, so that this simple but reliable weapon can continue. Use the waste heat.

The shields held by the soldiers in the first row are not only to resist the attacks of arrows and knives and guns, but also to prevent the flying fragments from harming their own soldiers.

In a flash of light and thick smoke, countless iron nails, gravel, pottery fragments and other anti-injury additives flew out with the explosion, causing people near the explosion point to cry and howl.

The Golden Regiment is at the top of the ecological chain in the mercenary world, and the soldiers are naturally well-equipped. The various armors that are generally equipped from the regiment leader to the bottom soldiers are very effective in containing the damage of most of the blast fragments. Don't look at the bloody faces of the nearby soldiers He was exhaling endlessly, but in fact, the damage he suffered was probably not as great as the intense tinnitus caused by the loud noise.

White smoke filled the air. Although most of the soldiers were dizzy, they still had combat power. The uninjured officers brandished their weapons and shouted orders to continue charging, but they soon discovered one thing brought about by the explosion of the bomb—anomaly. Bad side effects.

The war elephant was frightened.

Elephants are powerful and intelligent behemoths, among which intelligent individuals are said to have intelligence not inferior to human children, but they are also sensitive creatures, and their courage in the face of unknown dangers is not much greater than that of children.In order to train them to fight, trainers often do a lot of targeted preventive training... After graduating from the series of courses, they can not be disturbed by the drums, horns and human shouts, and can charge against mountains of swords and seas of fire without fear , You can also continue to fight regardless of the skin trauma caused by arrows, swords and spears...

But they've never been given any training on explosions.

The war elephant knights of the Golden Regiment knew that it was a rare advance in consciousness to plug the elephant ears before charging to prevent them from being disturbed by the gunfire from the opposite bank. Compared with the vibration that occurs on the soles of the feet.

Amidst the rumbling sound, the war elephants, who were still as imposing as a rainbow, neighed and their footsteps were chaotic.The bang that happened next to them damaged their hearing, the flames caused by the violent reaction flashed into their eyes, and the strong smell in the gunpowder smoke strongly stimulated their sense of smell...

Everything that is happening is frantically triggering their somewhat sluggish but still existing instinct to perceive danger. At this moment, the orders of the rider on their backs and the safety of their human companions behind them are completely left behind by the war elephants. Their big heads At this moment, there is only one thought left in Li: Hurry up and get away from this weird, terrifying and unnatural place!

……

And to escape, the "barbed wall" made of black giant shields and spears in front of the Land Grant Army is obviously not a good place to go, so the only options left are... the side and the back.

When the bewildered mercenaries finally recovered from the dizziness, and under the yells of the leading officers, they braced themselves and prepared to complete the last charge, but found that the perfectly coordinated "step" a few moments ago The "Elephant Synergy" has collapsed. The giant beasts at the front turned their heads and began to stride aimlessly in all directions. .

The three older and more experienced elephants also knew how to bypass the "insiders" and escape from the gap, but the other young and reckless elephants turned around and squeezed into the crowd regardless, crushed and trampled by their huge bodies Underneath, there were piercing cracking sounds and shrill screams all over the river beach.

The surging golden wave shattered before it hit the black shield formation.But their opponents will not show mercy. The first group of strikers to cross the river each carried two bombs. After the grenadiers threw their own two bombs, the shield hand in front still had two bombs available, at intervals of a few seconds. , the Black Army Corps did not give the enemy a chance to breathe. The white smoke from the first round of bomb explosions has not yet dispersed, and the second and third rounds of explosions also sounded densely. The continuous roar from behind made the soldiers who had given up charging The elephants ran faster, which not only broke the efforts of the war elephant riders to stabilize their mounts, but also shattered the courage and fighting spirit of the mercenaries. The sputtering of the fourth round of explosion ended, and the rhythm changed The charge horn sounded, and the shield wall fell forward in unison with a pounding sound. The soldiers of the Land Grant Army who suffered few casualties dropped their wooden shields and replaced them with spears handed by their companions, seamlessly switching from the defensive posture When it came time to attack, with a ferocious and loud cry, he charged towards the defeated enemy!

From the commander to the soldiers of the Land Grant Army, everyone gave the Golden Corps the same high-standard treatment as ghouls, but the fighting will of the Golden Corps couldn't even touch the dead. Under this combination of punches, the golden wave that seemed to be able to drive the land-grant army into the river with a single charge a moment ago collapsed in an instant, and was pushed back by the small group of spreading black.

Among the first batch of 1000 people who charged, the more than 900 soldiers who were still standing and discarded armor began to flee, which soon affected the [-] archers in the second row. In this way, [-] soldiers were given away by [-] The soldiers of the ground army scattered and fled back to the direction they came from like ducks.Looking at all this from a high place, Strickland's face was ashen, he was ashamed and angry, and he was filled with uncontrollable horror: he didn't blame the soldiers on the front line for fleeing at all. Not retreating in a deadly battle is also giving away a head, and preserving strength is the first priority of mercenaries...

However, this is the first time that the Golden Group has played the role of the loser in such an astonishing case of winning more with less.

Fifteen hundred versus two hundred can fight like this, so how many gold regiments are enough for most of the land-grant army to cross the river?

Two minutes ago, he was still regretting that the attack order was issued a little earlier, but now, he can no longer hold back: "Order, wait for the first wave of soldiers to withdraw to the main formation, and the whole army will attack!"

The first batch of strange iron balls that the opponent brought across the river have been exhausted, and the original tight defensive formation has also been disintegrated by the pursuit... Now is the best time to attack. As long as he is thick-skinned, he can claim that the previous The 4000 people were just the bait sent to lure the enemy out of the cave—then let the remaining 300 people rush forward, and quickly eat the two or [-] people who crossed the river, and then the whole team withdrew from the battlefield!

Time to block the enemy is too short?The killing is pitiful?

Let little Aegon talk to those damned River Bend nobles, the one who died is his family and cards!

The sound of the drums unique to the Golden Regiment changed again, and all the remaining 40-odd centurions all raised their team flags amidst the sound of thumping and yelling, and began to make preparations with a few panicked emergency evasions— - Dodge the collision of a few fleeing war elephants.

Using the entire golden regiment to attack two hundred enemies is a new battle order that has never been seen in the history of the legion. However, the commanders of the troops who watched the whole process of the first confrontation between the two sides did not dare to say "killing a chicken is useless!" The questioning and contempt of the bull knife come.They were all praying silently: I hope that the other party will not come up with any new weapons and means that they have never seen before, so that they can safely kill the 200 people who rushed over, and then withdraw from the battlefield completely.

But God doesn't seem to want them to do so.

"dragon!"

"dragon!"

"What's it called! It's so big, people can see it! Get the dragon hunting crossbow ready!"

Above the gradually drifting gunpowder smoke, under the gray sky, the two dragons that hovered above the southern army camp and then fell into the industrial park on the other side soared into the sky again, and crossed the Heishui River to the sky above the half-finished wedding scene , After a few circles around the desolate empty camp, I found the bright battle flags of the Golden Regiment who were densely packed together on the shore and preparing for the general offensive, so I flew close to them and made a long oval flying over their heads .

Having two big guys flying overhead brings a lot of psychological pressure, but if the opponent's last resort is this, then Strickland is really not afraid: compared with artillery and bombs, dragons are expected after all. adversary in.No one is a fool, and everyone knows that the troops left behind are the most dangerous. When the Hewan army retreated, they left one-third of the dragon hunting crossbows for the golden regiment. From the perspective of the number of people, their "per capita number of dragon hunting crossbows" It is several times larger than the Hewan army. It sounds embarrassing to wipe out hundreds of land-grant troops and then retreat from the battlefield, but if you shoot down a dragon...

Even if it wasn't the one the queen rode, it would be an unbelievably huge achievement!

……

On the Heishui River, the three pontoon bridges were still continuously transporting land-grant soldiers to the south bank; amidst the creaking sound, more than a dozen dragon hunting crossbows raised their bodies high and aimed at the air; the first batch of rout soldiers crossed the river bank Fleeing into the main formation, those who stood up were thousands of people with complete combat effectiveness... and the vanguard of the land-grant army who had been chasing after the victory seemed to have sensed the danger. He lifted up the wooden shield and rebuilt the defensive formation—just because there were more friendly troops behind him, he pushed forward a circle further than before the battle.

The two dragons dare not descend.

After watching for a minute, Strickland judged that the opponent was just bluffing, lowered his head to re-observe the battle situation, and prepared to issue a general attack order after the troops entered the predetermined positions, but the yelling from the surrounding people interrupted his work again.

After searching a circle at an altitude of several hundred meters, Daenerys found the place where the golden group's banner was densest and had the most people, and began to lower the altitude and dive down to that place.

All the soldiers controlling the dragon hunting crossbow held the firing mechanism with chills, waiting for the magic dragon to fall into the effective shooting height, to see who can snatch the legendary record of slaying the dragon, even the head of the regiment raised his head again, and The dragons that swooped down faced each other.

The surrounding officers panickedly persuaded Strickland to avoid him, but he shook his head and refused. The dragon was looking down at the ground in the sky, how could he know that he was the most important regiment leader?At this most critical moment, being surrounded by a large number of people would be the biggest target... Besides, without digging an air-raid shelter, where would one hide under a range attack weapon like Dragon Flame?

He was going to gamble that the dragonhunting crossbow could hit the dragons before they bottomed out and began to breathe dragon flames, or at least scare them—flying back into the sky!

The dragon flies down at a huge angle, and the height keeps dropping from 200 to [-] meters. In fact, the dragon hunting crossbow can barely reach it at about [-] meters, but the theory is only a numerical value after all, even if you are lucky, it is difficult Threatening the scale armor+thick-skinned demon dragon, so the crossbowmen everywhere continued to wait patiently, waiting for the height that could hit with confidence and guarantee the killing effect.

But they didn't wait after all. Before the dragon fell to the most dangerous height, it flapped its wings suddenly and braked in the air. Pulling the wrench, the long and heavy dragon hunting spear was shot out.

In the era before the invention of flying machines, there were naturally no opportunities to practice air-to-air shooting. Under the gaze of countless pairs of disappointed eyes, more than ten dragon-hunting spears all passed through gentle parabolas one by one, shooting from under the two dragons. Flying far away, the nearest one was more than two meters away, and not even a dragon scale was knocked off.

While sighing, hundreds of sharper eyes also saw this scene: the dragon didn't really just feign a shot, but when it swooped down to the lowest point, it didn't know whether it let go of its claws or cut something. The organ threw two strings of unknown things connected by ropes...to the direction of the command of the Golden Group.

Chapter 605 Good and Bad News

Explosive bombs are explosive bombs that can be inserted into the barrel and fired. Regardless of the delay or impact fuze, the principle itself is not complicated. Stable and reliable, which obviously requires trial and error improvement - so the development progress is temporarily stuck at this step.

However, if you think in reverse, what about simply giving up thermal launch?

The impact-explosive shells that have been developed by the research institute, if stuffed into the barrel, it is estimated that a large area will be exploded or duds. The dragon's physical strength is limited to only a hundred catties, and the combination of magical creatures and science allows them to have "bombers" available hundreds of years in advance!

You don’t need to pick up the lens to see the smoke and dust rising high from the bombing of the embankment on the other side. In order to avoid the bombardment, all the soldiers of the Golden Regiment formed a long snake formation along the embankment. Flying along this line and dropping bombs, it is very difficult to blow up the sky.Iger didn't expect this mere hundred catty bomb to just take away the headquarters of the Golden Regiment, but the fact is: a large golden battle flag and thousands of figures that had already emerged from behind the river embankment all over the mountains and plains, ready to launch a general attack at any cost Under the series of shocks, they froze in place, and it took a long time before they moved again—but instead of rushing to the river bank to sweep the land-grant army, they retreated silently, disappearing from the sight of the people on the north bank.

The Golden Company retreated.

They didn't lose wrongly.

It can be said that, except that I didn't personally go into battle to kill the enemy, Iger has thrown out all the hole cards in his hand, and even the semi-finished products have been taken out and pasted on their faces in advance.The Land Grant Army fought the Golden Corps as White Walkers, but the Golden Corps was not as resistant to beating as the White Walkers.

The reason why Iger spared no effort to spare no effort to use all the local big moves is because this action to drive the Southern Army away is not as easy and simple as it seems: they are not simply confronting the Southern Army across the river, but But at the same time, the siege of King's Landing was maintained, facing the enemy on both sides.

With Stannis also waiting in the city for a change in the battle situation, if too many troops and spirits are restrained by the battle across the river, then the defenders in the city will face the threat of an active counterattack.The so-called long nights and many dreams, they not only have to win this battle, but they also have to win cleanly and frighten everyone.

The Golden Regiment has fought both downwind and upwind battles. They are so well-trained that even if they escape, they proceed quickly and decisively without delay. Iger can't even pursue them: if one's own position is strong, it is strong, but there is a big weakness that cannot be improved in a short time— — There were not enough cavalry, and when the entire army had crossed the Blackwater River and rested, the enemy was already several miles away.

But there was another army waiting for them to the south, and the 1 Dornish spearmen stood still during the hours-long bombardment until most of the bend in the river was withdrawn before they walked out of the barracks in a leisurely manner. The hurriedly retreating gold regiment was on the road.

Heaven and Earth!
