Game of Thrones: Battle Royale Game

In the middle of the Skarhazaban River, fifty leagues north of the ruined city of the ancient empire known as Gistakkar by the Gith, Ian's falcon discovered Drogo Khalasar (transliteration, changed to another word) words that are not blocked).

The entire Karasa is a mighty one hundred thousand people, several kilometers long in front and back, marching on the vast grassland.

In front of and around Karasa, there is a team of sentries every few hundred meters, and dozens of teams of scouts are performing exploration and warning tasks.

Khal Drogo rode a red horse at the front of Khalasa. Beside him were his three bloodriders, Kohoro, Corso and Haggo, and then the most elite men directly belonging to Khal. of roaring samurai. These people did not wear armor, but wore Dothraki painted vests, exposing their muscular arms, and sharp arakh scimitars were hung on their waists.

Behind these people, there are a larger number of cavalry teams. They are scattered among the various cass (a second-level unit below the khalasar in Dothraki), marching together with a large number of women and slaves.

In the middle of the Karasa are herds of horses and tents being drawn.

As Ian expected, their marching method as the entire tribe migrated together was like a tortoise crawling, and it took them so long to cover half of the distance from Vaes Dothrak to Meereen.

As Ian Falcon's height dropped, bursts of singing reached Ian's ears.

Like all prairie people, the horse people's singing style is also particularly passionate and bold. Their high singing and the sound of horse hooves merge together and pierce the sky.

Ian flew across Drogo's entire khalasar from front to back, observing each Kaas one by one, hoping to find some groups among them that were more disciplined or less resistant to armor than other centaurs.

Because that is most likely the Cass of the player ‘Kou’ who is working under Khal Drogo.

But until the end, Ian could not find such Cass.

If this means that there is no player under Drogo, or that the player knows nothing about military affairs, that is of course good news, but Ian always feels that things will not be that simple.

Unable to get results for a while, Ian temporarily gave up searching for the player. He observed the Dothraki below and began to think about the march route Drogo might choose next.

Judging from the way they were heading south now, it was obvious that they were planning to go south to Gistaka.

Gistaka is now a completely deserted ruin, and occupying it is worthless.

So Drogo went there if he wanted to cross the Skahazaban River and enter the Raza area.

This is bad news.

Many cities and tribes in the Lazar region have just joined Ian's alliance. If the centaurs turn around and loot and massacre them, even if only one or two of the tribes suffer, it will cause great damage to Ian's reputation.

As a result, Ian's eagerness to bring the Lazarin people into the alliance turned into shooting himself in the foot.

In fact, the horse king's decision was indeed unexpected by Ian.

In Ian's earlier prediction, after receiving the news that Slaver's Bay had formed an alliance against him, Khal Drogo would directly bypass the north of the Ghiscari Mountains and head straight from the northern plains to Meereen to seek a decisive battle. . Before arriving in Meereen, he would leave the slaves, women and children of Kalasari in a relatively safe location behind.

Ian asked Prendar na Gison to lead the Stormcrows to the Lazar city of Hessey, and asked the Lazarim to gather their armies there, just to wait for Drogo to arrive in Meereen. Ji Sen led men to attack Drogo's camp in the rear.

The Lazarins do not have the courage to face the roaring warriors, but they still have the courage to face the slaves, old, weak, women and children.

But now, Drogo actually chose to go south to Lazar, which made Ian very confused.

After entering the Raza region, if Drogo wants to enter Slaver's Bay, he must pass through the rugged Skarhazaban Valley or pass through the Kesai Pass, which is almost impassable for horses. This is a very strange choice.

If the decisive battle breaks out on these two terrains, Ian's winning rate will be full. As a horse king who has never been defeated in his life, Drogo should not even know what kind of terrain the cavalry is suitable for fighting. Or should he? Just simply arrogant enough to think he can win in any situation?

No, no, Ian soon made a new discovery. There were not many horses in Drogo Karasa. Apart from the necessary war horses and pack horses, they no longer had many meat horses for food.

This is why Drogo went south into the Raza region - to get supplies.

The staple food of the Dothraki people is horse meat and mutton. When they settled on the Dothraki sea, they would raise large numbers of sheep and eat mutton and horse meat at the same time. But when they began to migrate and fight, the sheep would be slaughtered or abandoned because they moved too slowly. At this time, they would change their staple food to horse meat and smoked foods that are easy to preserve, and cook soup with some wild grasses that can be found on the grasslands. They divided the horse herd into strong war horses, inferior draft horses and inferior food horses.

It took Khal Drogo more than two months to travel south from Vaes Dothraki to Ghistaka. Although Drogo replenished a large number of horses in Vaes Dothraki, one hundred thousand of them fed here. , it also seemed to be a little stretched.

In the Raza area, they can plunder a large number of sheep from the satyrs, which will play an important role in easing Drogo's supply situation.

Following Drogo's khalasa in the sky, Ian thought about Drogo's next move.

At this time, twilight began to appear, and the huge group of centaurs began to stop advancing. They said they were camping on the spot, but in fact they just stopped their mobile tents. Their camp does not have any defense, and all security relies on patrols on the outside. However, they do have a lot of patrol cavalry, so they will not leave any loopholes to exploit.

Their camp was chosen next to a creek. Under normal circumstances, their marching route and camping location must be close to a water source, because it is impossible for more than 100,000 horses to rely on people to fetch drinking water for them.

After setting up camp, the Dothraki reunited the stallions and mares they had separated during the march.

The horse breed on the Dothraki seagrass is called the Dothraki horse. This is a typical warm-blood horse with strong energy, quick reactions, and very agility. They are taller than their counterparts in the other world, the Mongolian horses, but have slightly less endurance.

Warmblood horses usually go into estrus in spring and summer, and in the long summer of the world of ice and fire, they can be in estrus at any time. So when the centaurs mixed them together, the horses quickly began to mate freely.

After arranging the horses, the Dothraki also began to mate freely. They were like animals, mating under the sky. There was no privacy at all in the khalasar.

Not interested in the mating of these wild men, Ian was still thinking about Drogo's next move.

If Drogo only went south to get supplies.

After obtaining the supplies, it is unlikely that Drogo will forcefully walk through the Skarhazaban Valley or the Kaisai Pass. There is a high probability that he will have to cross the river again and go northward from the northern plains to Meereen.

But the possibility of him taking the huge flock of sheep, women and children that he plundered from the Lazarin people to go around this road is also very low.

A better option is to capture a Lazarin city (judging from the location, this unlucky guy will most likely be Hersey), temporarily place the women and children slaves here, and then let the Roaring Warriors take the food captured from the Goatmen. and the dried meat made from slaughtered sheep, and headed north to Meereen.

After getting rid of their burdens, their marching speed can easily double or even triple their original speed. It only takes about two weeks for them to reach Meereen and defeat Ian (Century perspective).

How to deal with it? Ian couldn't help but feel a little irritated.

According to his promise to the Lazarin people, if King Ma really marches towards Hexi, he must send his army to Hexi for a decisive battle with the Ma people.

Judging from the distance, if he ordered the army to set off now, he would probably reach Hexi a few days earlier than King Ma.

The price is that the new army he formed with the slave soldiers of Meereen and Yunkai lost time to get basic phalanx training, his follow-up legions with equipment such as those in Astapor were unable to rush to the front line, and his army in Astapor was unable to reach the front line. The three thousand new crossbows and a large number of crossbow bolts that were rushed out of Stabo's factory and designed by the player who was imprisoned on the pyramid could not be delivered for use.

And the terrain near Hersey is almost all plains.

No, even if you break your trust with the Lazarin people, even if your reputation is tarnished, you can't risk your entire family fortune on this battle.

Time is on Ian's side. Ian will invest the huge amount of money seized from Euron into the industrial field, and the engineer player will design a large number of products that can bring about huge productivity improvements without any prerequisite technology. After the mechanical equipment, all the equipment factories in Astapor are continuously transporting standard weapons, armor and crossbows to the front line of Meereen.

The three cities of Astapor, Yunkai and Meereen are also constantly recruiting new soldiers for training.

Every time the decisive battle is delayed, Ian's chances of winning will increase.

But we can't leave Hersey alone.

According to Ian's order, the cities and tribes in the Lazar area that had joined the alliance sent their troops to Hexi to assemble. The total number of these people would be close to 20,000.

But in the absence of Ian's own army, it is certainly unrealistic to expect these goats to fight Drogo, the Horse King, and consume Drogo's troops.

Even if Ian's army arrives, these people probably have to be placed in the eighth formation of the central army to prevent them from collapsing. It would be a pure dream for them to face the cavalry charge.

It is impossible to hold on. Hersey is not a high-walled city, it is surrounded by a wooden wall.

If Ian is given a few more months, he may be able to significantly improve Hersey's defense capabilities, but judging from the current position of Drogo's Karasa, it may only be within a month for him to arrive at Hersey. If If he leaves women and children on the way, it will be faster.

Forget it, if the reputation is damaged, the reputation is damaged. As long as Drogo can be defeated in Meereen later, the Lazarin people will still have to be loyal to him.

Hard fist is the eternal truth.

After leaving the sky above Drogo Krasa, Ian's falcon found a big tree nearby and began to rest.

He did not retrieve the falcon or cut off contact, because from now on, he would need to keep an eye on Drogo's centaurs.

At the same time, Ian is also monitoring many places. Out of the need to save mental energy, he will let his shape-shifting animals rest for more time.

Meereen Guards Cavalry Camp.

"I have found the trace of Drogo. He is marching towards the ruins of Ghistaka." Ian said to the NPC Quigo beside him.

Ian had previously demonstrated the miracle of 'purifying poisonous water' and successfully conquered the Centaur slaves he bought, forming them into a khalasar headed by Quigo, and also gave them the title of Guards Cavalry. Quigo is now Kaa, whose identity is this karatha, and also serves as the commander of the cavalry of the Guards.

Ian's arrangement is meaningful, because according to the custom of the centaurs, the defeated can be incorporated into the winner's khalasar. It was impossible for Ian to perform a wave of miracles for them every time he bought or captured a group of centaur slaves. It would be a much more convenient option to directly let them join Quigo's khalasar.

"Gistaka is heading towards the Raza area. Does Drogo want to march towards Raza?"

"Well, they have begun to lack supplies." Ian nodded, and then quickly changed the topic to the direction he was interested in. "I just noticed that after Drogo's khalasar set up camp, a large number of their horses were mating. Don’t you Dothraki geld your war horses?”

"Yes, only women and eunuchs can ride mares and geldings. Even Dothraki children will start learning by riding stallions." Quigo said proudly, even though he was an NPC , but this does not obscure his true nature as a Dothraki.

"After a gelded war horse, it will be more docile and obedient, and it will not cause all kinds of problems. Could it be that my cavalry does not have a castrated war horse, right?" Ian said, suddenly remembering.

I had indeed ignored this issue before. In Ian's impression, he thought that it was natural for cavalry to castrate war horses.

"Of course not! A man who cannot tame a wild stallion does not deserve to be called a Dothraki!" And Quigo seemed to think that another thing was right.

"What if someone interferes with you on the battlefield with a mare in heat?"

"A Dothraki's riding skills must be able to perfectly control his mount when rushing into a sea of ​​​​blazing swords or being disturbed by a mare in heat, in order to be awarded the title of Roaring Warrior. We are the most skilled. rider.

It takes two years to train a Volantis slave cavalry, and five years to train a Westeros knight with qualified riding skills, but it takes at least twelve to fifteen years to train a qualified roaring warrior. We On horseback from birth, all unhealthy centaur babies are fed to wild dogs! "

"In other words, if I want to use a mare in heat to interfere with Drogo's cavalry, it won't work?" Ian's heart sank.

"It won't have any effect. The training to become a Roaring Warrior includes items to resist this kind of interference." Quigo gave an affirmative answer.

Mudd! Ian couldn't help but curse. He originally thought he had found a good loophole, but he didn't expect the Roaring Warrior to be able to deal with this situation perfectly.

Wait, Roaring Samurai can handle it perfectly, but if

In that case, would it be possible for him to teach Khal Drogo a lesson the way Li Guangbi dealt with Shi Siming?
