Dominate the Game of Thrones with Mount and Blade

The thick-haired Stafford Lannister held his chin with his right hand and thought hard for a while before saying:

"Stormborn is probably going to attack Casterly Rock City. With the current situation, as long as Casterly Rock City falls, our soldiers' morale will definitely be shaken."

Kevan, who was on his left, glanced at this mediocre clan member and said, "I have left three hundred elite soldiers in the city. If they really think that a young dragon under two years old can make these soldiers surrender, then we will also There is no need to fight this war anymore.”

Kevan didn't dislike Stafford very much, but he hated the man's many mistakes. It was the accumulation of these mistakes that caused the power of the Lannister family to fall to the bottom within a few months.

Stafford still insisted on his point of view. He protested loudly: "Only Casterly Rock City can influence the outcome of this battle. I think giant crossbowmen must be sent back to support the castle. The focus of defense should be above the castle."

Kevan, who was a steady man, shook his head, "Stormborn is alone. She rode a dragon into Casterly Rock, so what?"

Considering that Stafford had let floods wash away an army in Stone Hall in the Riverlands, he decided to ignore all the man's suggestions.

But Kevan himself didn't know what Daenerys was doing as she flew north on the dragon.

"Those three dragons are still there, and we won't care about Stormborn riding the dragon and flying away." Adam, who commanded the heavy cavalry, suggested.

Kevan nodded, agreeing with the views of the person he thought was reliable, and no longer thought about this matter, but focused on the right army that was about to start the battle, that is, the southern battlefield.

Seeing that his suggestion was not adopted, Stafford, who was riding a horse, said angrily: "You don't even listen to me, a blood relative, so I don't think I need to stay here anymore."

He originally wanted to go find his son Davon, but the Tilean soldiers on the opposite side had already begun to rush to the right army's formation.

After looking around, Stafford and several of his attendants left the central army and rode towards the rear.

When Kevan saw this, he breathed a sigh of relief and at the same time summoned a centurion captain and ordered:

"Go to Casterly Rock City and order the defenders not to let Stafford enter. Tell the defenders that Stafford can stay at Lannisport."

The captain nodded and rode away.

While several nobles in the middle army were discussing Daenerys' whereabouts, the entire right army had already started fighting.

Because the Reach people have been at war with the Dornish people for hundreds of years, and the Dornish soldiers often use long weapons such as spears and spears since the arrival of the Rhoynar, most of the Reach families have formed quite complete shield arrays.

So Leo Tyrell first opened the way with three hundred heavy infantry armed with large shields, followed closely by soldiers equipped with small bucklers and half-swords.

As for the 1,500 cavalry of this army, they were divided into two teams and circled around both sides of the right army in the western border. Some of the cavalry were also equipped with crossbows or bows and arrows. During the circle, they performed "kite tactics". In other words, they kept firing arrows to attack the infantry in the western border.

Faced with the enemy's tactics, Da Feng, the commander-in-chief of the right army in the Western Region, saw the opportunity and took advantage of it.

"Archers, aim forward and prepare to launch."

"William Hisham and Hangri Farman, you two will take your heavy infantry to protect the sides and rear."

The heavy infantry of Westeros are generally fully armored warriors wearing chain mail and plate armor. Their weapons are mainly chain hammers, battle axes, and two-handed swords.

Many knights and attendants were heavy cavalry on horseback, and could still be used as heavy infantry after dismounting. But now that there were enough horses, there was no need to waste them like this.

The two people who were called left with a team of 500 people in their names, and quickly squeezed towards the rear and sides.

After the right army of the Western Territory fired a hail of arrows, the Hewan sword and shield soldiers hiding behind the shield soldiers raised their small bucklers to resist the rain of arrows.

Although the accuracy of this kind of thrown arrow is not very good, it is powerful enough. If the key parts are not guarded, the combat effectiveness will be lost on the spot after the arrow hits.

The nobles wearing a full set of plate armor were naturally not afraid of such random arrows, but the same could not be said for the soldiers whose defense was not so tight.

Dozens of soldiers fell to this rain of arrows. Leo Tyrell, who was holding the hilt and blade of his two-handed sword with iron gloves, turned around and glanced at the casualties, and suddenly felt heartache.

These are all soldiers who piled up money.

"Go forward quickly and rush to the front of the formation!"

The leading nobles generally have amazing voices, and Leo Tyrell was no exception. He shouted his orders to the flag officer and the surrounding soldiers, and the attack speed of the Riverbend Army suddenly accelerated.

After two rounds of arrow rain, the two groups of infantry collided fiercely, like two waves of waves colliding head-on, causing waves to splash against each other.

The fighting of thousands of people officially began.

At the same time, the surrounding Hebang cavalry finally arrived. After a simple formation, they began a wall charge.

The nobles and knights at the head were wearing armor, and just the sound of thousands of horse hooves hitting the ground could make the heavy infantry lined up for defense tremble with fear.

"Keep the array~"

The two knights William Hisham and Hangri Farman sent out by Davon tried their best to let their men meet the enemy, but the soldiers had no other choice. There were people behind them and they couldn't escape anywhere.

Only ten minutes after the war started, the battlefield on the entire southern side was already in full swing.

Hundreds of meters away, the king, holding a monocular, stared at the battlefield carefully, feeling that it should be able to hold out until Garland and his army arrived.

This is why he arranged Tyrell and the Reach family to the south. His soldiers will fight fiercely with the West March army, and Garland and his Reach army will go all out.

"The Westerly Left Army is a newly recruited peasant army. They are backward in equipment, weapons and combat capabilities. Only the Lannisport Garrison has some combat power. Pass the order down, let Aenys Frey start the battle quickly and drag the Westerly Left Army into the battlefield. Don't let Kevan have the spare energy to escape."

Arthur I ordered loudly.

A knight from the Riverlands, Hugo Vance, went to convey the king's order.

A few minutes later, the war broke out on the north side.

Bald Aenys still has basic vision.

The real combat force of the Westerly Left Army is the Lannisport Garrison of about 1,000 people.

This garrison is one of the three major garrisons in Westeros, the other two are the Oldtown Garrison and the King's Landing Garrison.

Although the Lannisport Garrison is far less famous than the other two, it is more well-trained.

After losing to his opponent in a tournament, the legendary knight Duncan the Tall once wanted to join the Lannisport Garrison, which shows how much this police-style army is recognized by the knights.

"Simon, you take the new recruits to launch the attack first. Hosting, the cavalry is under your command. After the Lannisport Garrison is dragged into the battlefield, rush into the enemy and disperse the peasant soldiers."

Marquis Innis briefly arranged the strategy.

Previously, the Twins City recruited 1,500 new recruits to join the army of King Arthur I.

For this army, Marquis Frey felt that it could be used as consumables, letting them fight with the Lannisport Garrison for a while, and then the veterans would go to harvest.

As for the newly recruited peasant soldiers by the families in the West, Innis believed that as long as the cavalry broke up their formation, the entire army would be in chaos.

Without long-term training, the soldiers had no awareness of strictly guarding the formation. As long as a few soldiers left their companions, the entire battlefield would collapse directly.

The fairly well-trained Frey army slowly executed the lord's orders.

Led by the dismounted knight Simon Frey, 1,500 new Frey soldiers took the lead and rushed towards the left army of the Westerlands.

In order to minimize losses, the small number of cavalry in this part were required to dismount and fight.

The Frey cavalry led by Sir Hosteen continued to move north, and they would launch an attack after going around the flank.

...

Kevan always believed that a qualified commander must observe the situation on the battlefield in time and then adjust the countermeasures.

The mobilization of thousands of Freys on the north side could not escape the eyes of the Westerlands, and the predicament of the left army was immediately heard by the nobles of the central army.

Roland Crake immediately requested: "Lord Kevan, please allow me to lead an army to resist the attack of the Frey cavalry."

His eldest son Tybalt Crake was the commander of the left army, so the old earl, whose hair had begun to turn gray, could not help but feel a little worried.

His second son, Lile Crakehall, was still imprisoned in the water dungeon of Riverrun. If his eldest son died in this battle, he would have nowhere to cry.

One-armed Adam also supported the left army, "Sir, our center army is all cavalry, and the heavy cavalry has reached 3,500 people, while the center army of the Dragon Bearer is only 4,000 river soldiers. Their combat effectiveness is far inferior to ours. There is no problem in sending light cavalry."

Although the Frey family is rich, their armaments are only maintained at the upper level of the riverlands, and they are still a long way from the heavy cavalry of the Westerlands, the Valley, and the Reach.

Except for the armor of the nobles, the average equipment level of the Frey cavalry is roughly equivalent to the Lannister light cavalry.

Kevan glanced at the entangled battle in the south, and looked at the river army opposite from a distance.

His eyes swept through the armor of varying quality, and finally stopped at the dozens of flags.

"Sword horse flag, farmer flag, silver eagle flag, shield horse flag, dancing girl flag, two Vance flags."

He has recognized the emblems of most of the river families.

"With such soldiers, 3,500 heavy cavalry are enough to defend against them."

Kevan finally made a decision, "Sir Tytos Brax will lead the army to reinforce the left army."

He appointed the heir of Horn Valley City as the commander of the light cavalry.

The young knight who was chosen rode out of the line, nodded to the nobles, and stabbed the horse's belly with his heel, heading towards the direction of the light cavalry.

In the next half an hour, the battlefields in the north and south changed slowly and violently.

With the reinforcement of a thousand light cavalry, the Frey cavalry did not quickly tear open the gap in the left army of the West Border, nor could they disperse the peasant soldiers.

The Lannisport garrison was quite brave and tied with the enemy army whose strength exceeded half of their own. The parties only maintained their formations in the initial stage, and then began to fight in disorder.

The bloody smell began to spread throughout the battlefield. The three dragons that had flown enough in the sky would occasionally swoop down to two battlefields, pick up the remains and debris in places with few people, and then rush up to the rear of the river army to eat.

Among them, Alduin ate the most happily.

Gendry, who was at the edge of the river nobles, saw this scene and ran to the king to ask:

"Your Majesty, should I stop Alduin from eating these meats?"

He thought it was not a good phenomenon for the dragons to eat the remains, so he ran to ask the king for his opinion.

"No, it's not eating a living person." Arthur I waved his hand and reassured Gendry.

The growth of dragons requires the accumulation of blood and flesh, and it is a waste of life to disturb them from eating.

And according to Arthur's observation, Alduin seems to have the ability to grow quickly by swallowing.

This real name may imply the ability to swallow souls. The last time the forest witch was eaten by Alduin, it made her grow a lot.

So Arthur wanted to see if devouring it could make it grow faster.

At this moment, a Crab Claw Peninsula ancestor soldier who squeezed in from behind got behind the king's giant red horse and whispered: "Your Majesty!"

When Arthur I turned around and saw this person, he knew that Bernard Brun and the Rowan soldiers were already in place.

After he nodded slightly to this person, he continued to stare at the battle ahead as if nothing had happened.

This Crab Claw Peninsula ancestor soldier bowed slightly to salute, and then left quickly.

The king had given the order to attack.

…

An hour later, the one-armed Adam finally couldn't hold himself back any longer.

"Inis in the north has obviously retained his strength, and the battle situation in the south has become clear. The Riverbenders are no match for Davon and the infantry. Is it time for us to launch a general attack?"

The heir of the Malbrand family was convinced that the four thousand rivermen on the opposite side could not withstand his heavy cavalry.

This is the largest heavy cavalry regiment in Westeros.

A trace of doubt suddenly appeared on Kevan's face, "The battlefields on both sides of the north and south are declining. Why is the Dragon Holder still so calm? Isn't he afraid that one battlefield will collapse and then lose the entire war?"

Although victory was close, the steady Kevan suddenly felt something was wrong.

The three giant dragons did not join the battle. What on earth is this Arthur doing?

One-armed Adam was very unimpressed, "You don't have to overestimate the military strategy of the Dragon Holder. He is famous for his bravery and invincibility, not his intelligence. I think it may be his first time to experience such a large-scale battle, so I didn't think about it. so long ago.”

The other nobles also advised:

"If we defeat the enemy's Chinese army, victory will not be far away for us."

"The young dragon's combat effectiveness is not very strong. If we kill the dragon owner, the situation may turn out differently."

Kevan hesitated for a moment and asked, "Is there any movement over at Casterly Rock City?"

The officer responsible for keeping an eye on the rear replied: "There is nothing. The dragon born in the storm did not appear. Sir Staffor also went to the port."

The rear was stable, and Kevan gained a little confidence.

"Then the whole army will attack, everyone mounts their horses, and we will break up the peasant soldiers who support the dragon!"

The high morale of the coach was passed on to the Lion Cavalry. In just ten minutes, this army was ready and began to charge the Hejian Army several hundred meters away.

Just after the tens of thousands of horse hooves moved, an extremely powerful group of cavalry suddenly appeared behind the hills of the battlefield on the south side.

Boom, boom, boom!

Even among his own cavalry, Kevan still felt the enemy's strength.

A cavalry regiment of at least four to five thousand people! He made an immediate judgment.

"The flag at the beginning is a four-part grid, with golden roses, purple grapes, red apples, and towering towers." A certain nobleman told Kevan loudly.

"It seems to be Garland. Among all the people in Tyrell, he is the only one who has something to do with the Red Apple Fosoway."

The one-armed Adam galloping on horseback judged this.

Kevan was distraught, "Charge over first and disperse the river army, then we will face this army."

The wall charge of the own cavalry has already started and cannot be stopped. They can only defeat the Hejian Army on the opposite side before making any plans.
