Game of Thrones: Battle Royale Game

The fine grass was ravaged to pieces, and harsh shouts of death, messy horse hooves, and metal collisions came one after another.

Just after the Dothraki armored cavalry broke into the front line of the Astapor Slave Iron Legion through the gap dug by the front row of cavalry, they began to slash left and right from the formation, attacking the spearmen on both sides, preparing to widen the gap.

The super-long spears pointed forward by the spearmen could not be turned, so many of the rear-row spearmen had no choice but to throw away their spears and draw their short swords to try to engage these cavalrymen.

At the same time, those front-row gunmen who had not been hit in the previous round of charge were also shaken by the huge casualties of their companions and the appearance of enemies behind them.

The centurions shouted to stabilize the situation, but the Dothraki did not give them such a chance. In less than a minute, the fourth wave of Dothraki attacks arrived in front of the formation.

Different from the previous three times where hundreds of cavalry were divided into multiple small cone-shaped formations and targeted at points, this wave of Makok Kao (the player) used a full 2,000 armored cavalry and 2,000 light cavalry to attack the enemy. They were divided into four rows and brought the entire front line of the center and right armies of the Gith coalition into the attack range, in order to drive these stupid Gith slave soldiers into the river at once.

As the Dothraki cavalry crashed into the formation, the already shaken frontline formation of the two slave Iron Legions instantly became fragmented.

The raised dust covered the entire battlefield, ranging from light to heavy, from near to far, making people feel hazy and unclear.

Ian Falcon looked down at the entire battlefield, feeling a little sad.

In fact, when the player Kaa arranged his cavalry in this way, Ian had already seen through his tactics.

Therefore, at the beginning of the battle, every time the cavalry is used to lightly break into the enemy's formation and only move at the first impulse, regardless of the number of people, they will drive straight in. Even if the enemy is 100,000 strong, they will not be able to hold it back. If it doesn't move, the front team will cross, and the second team will charge again. If it can't get in again, the back team will do the same.

This is a very widely used cavalry tactic recorded in the Black Tartar Chronicles.

Although the specific operation of that player had some changes, he did break through the front line of Fermor Mo Nacroz's center with minimal losses, and made the most elite New Gith on Fermor's left wing Both sides of the legion were exposed to danger, thereby holding the key to victory. For this battle, that's all that matters.

It's a pity that Ian himself was not at the scene, and there was no suitable way to warn Fermor and these soldiers.

No, Ian dismissed the idea out of hand.

What's the use of being here?

Fermor did not make a mistake, and the centurions he personally trained did not let him down. Most of them were more or less aware of the other party's intentions before the last moment, and warned the soldiers under his command. .

It's just a pity that because of the lack of actual combat experience and the soldiers' lack of absolute trust in these officers who had never actually fought side by side, most of them believed in their own judgment and did not take the warnings of the centurions to heart.

So much so that the entire front lines of the center and right armies were broken through so easily by the enemy.

Ian did not expect them to be able to withstand the impact of this karatha from the front, but in Ian's original idea, the opponent would at least need equipment to install cavalry as the vanguard, forcefully tear open the gap, and then break through it.

In that case, the casualties of the opponent's elite force should be at least two to three times what they are now, and if the opponent uses half or more of their armored cavalry to attack our center right wing, they can be used to forcibly break through the New Ghis on our left wing. The elite legion will have much less armored cavalry available.

The strength of the New Gith Iron Legion can buy more time for the firepower of the ships in the rear.

In Ian's eyes, Fermor's entire legion deployed on the river bank is just a big bait. The whole purpose of their existence is just to attract the enemy to attack, and to introduce the Dothraki cavalry into the fleet's long-range weapons. Within the attack range, and then exchange blood with the opponent.

Even if this battle is really defeated, as long as Ian can consume half of the opponent's elite, he can force him back to the Dothraki Sea to re-gather his power, thus gaining time to safely eat Khal Drogo.

As for the New Gith Iron Legion, which he lost the most elite in this battle, they were only allies and did not really belong to Ian. As for the two Astapor Slave Iron Legions, although Ian devoted a lot of effort to the training of their officers, such losses are far from a traumatic event for Ian.

After all, after defeating Drogo, Ian will gain a very large number of soldiers in the vast Lazar area, and there will not be any strong enemies in a short time.

But now, Ian looks to the left wing.

Thanks to the victory on the other two battlefields, Makokao was now able to devote all his armored cavalry to the attack on the New Ghis Iron Legion.

Moreover, because Fermor's central army's front line has collapsed, the right diagonal angle of the New Gith Iron Army that should have been covered by the central army is also exposed to the enemy.

In order to protect the left side of the New Gith Iron Legion, Fermor deployed the fleet with the most crossbows in the fleet on the river at the rear left of the phalanx, and deployed the most elite crossbowmen in the army on those ships. on board.

If the enemy forces an attack on the New Gith phalanx from the left as predicted by Fermor, the long-range weapons on these ships will be able to cause a lot of damage to them - even after the Dothraki cavalry rushes into the phalanx, They can still shoot directly at the horsemen and cavalry in the rear row without worrying about accidentally injuring friendly troops.

But on the right side of the New Gith Square, the firepower deployment on the ships here is much smaller than that on the left side, because there is no direct angle from here, and all weapons must be ejected from the heads of friendly troops. With these The precision of the weapons made by the Gith themselves makes it almost impossible to continue to cause accurate damage after the two armies are fully in contact.

——Regarding this issue, Ian has put on the agenda the comprehensive replacement of various weapons obtained directly from the three cities of Gith, but with the current production capacity, it may not be completed within a year and a half.

In short, Makokao set the main attack direction of the armored cavalry at the diagonal right corner of the New Gith Iron Legion. He began to set up a huge cone-shaped formation in the center of the center pointing diagonally towards the upper right corner of the New Gith Iron Legion formation. , in the center and front row of the formation were a thousand armored cavalry, and behind them were a larger number of armored cavalry.

Although these Dothraki cavalry in the back row are armored, they are different from the thousand armored cavalry in the front who are wearing Qohor's heavy armor. Most of their armors are completely pieced together, and they use what they find. Most of them are low-quality leather armor or old antiques that have been handed down for decades or even centuries.

Of course, no matter what, compared to those roaring warriors who were naked or wearing only painted vests, their defense capabilities were still qualitatively improved.

On the other side, on Makokao's right wing, was a 1,500-man cone-shaped formation headed diagonally toward the upper left corner of the Xingis Legion, led by 500 ordinary armored cavalry.

Due to the temporary change in the direction of the main attack, Makokao's cavalry still needs some time to dispatch. But as soon as they are ready and Makokao gives an order, they will attack the two oblique angles of the New Gith from two directions at the same time.

Perhaps due to the forced march, the physical strength of their horses was only enough for these armored cavalry to charge once, but as far as the current situation was concerned, one charge was enough.

Center Army/Right Wing Battlefield

"Kill those who charge! Kill those who charge!" Femor's centurions in the center and right rear formation loudly ordered the soldiers, and at the same time angrily shouted at the defeated troops who escaped from the front, "Return to you Get up there! You cowards!"

Their scolding had zero effect. After the front line was dispersed by the enemy, these slave soldiers almost lost all their courage and began to flee towards the latter in large numbers.

Of course, it is impossible for the rear formation to make way for them. This is the scene that the Dothraki want to see the most, because in that case, the Dothraki only need to follow these defeated troops to successfully rush into the slaves. The Iron Legion's rear formation dispersed them.

"Kill those who rush into the formation!" The centurions in the rear formation kept repeating this order, and the slave soldiers who fled from the front formation were served by the super-long spears in the hands of their comrades in the rear formation. Faced with such a forest of guns that could not be broken through, the defeated troops in the front line had to turn around and face the powerful Dothraki.

Thanks to the fact that Ian imitated the Swiss and Spanish and mixed the spears and halberds into the formation when he formed the Slave Legion, the front formation of the Slave Iron Legion still retained a certain output capability after being broken through.

Although their coach Fermor Mo Nacroz made a temporary adjustment before the war and placed more halberdiers in the back row, he still left two rows of halberdiers in the front row. Compared with the infantry who were dragged into the melee and had to abandon their super long guns and use short swords to face the enemy, they obviously posed a greater threat to the Dothraki cavalry.

Similarly, those horsemen and cavalry who directly penetrated the front line of the Slave Iron Legion ran into the completely tight rear line, causing numerous casualties. However, they were unable to break through due to lack of speed. Therefore, their commanders followed traditional tactics. , ordered the cavalry to be pulled back, preparing to charge again after gaining enough acceleration distance to break through the back formation of these cowards.

Suddenly, a large number of crossbow bolts and ballistae poured down, and were projected indiscriminately into the chaotic front formation. Immediately afterwards, even some large stones were thrown into the formation, and countless Iron Legion slaves and the Dothraki cavalry who had been trapped in the formation were smashed into meat patties.

It turned out that the ships and crossbowmen in the rear who had given up shooting due to poor accuracy restarted the attack, and directly targeted the area where the cavalry that had rushed into the formation including the location of their own front formation were located. .

Ian Falcon in the sky saw this scene, and his heart suddenly sank.

Indiscriminately include the enemy and one's own people in the attack range. From an economic point of view, Fermor's order is profitable anyway, because after the lack of training, the front line of the slave Iron Legion was disrupted. has lost the ability to pose a threat to the enemy. Instead of waiting for them to be eliminated, it is better to use long-range weapons to eliminate as many Dothraki as possible while they hold them back.

But this has a huge impact on the morale of other soldiers on our side.

The New Giths are on the left wing and may not be able to fully notice the situation here, but the slave soldiers in the back can clearly see the situation in front. Ian is very worried that they will not be able to bear it and collapse in an instant.

Eh? Wait, what's going on with these guys? Ian took a closer look and found that the slave soldiers in the rear, instead of collapsing, cheered.

What kind of ecstasy soup did Fermor pour into them?

"Keep your formation, boys. If we break up like them, those arrows will fall on our heads. But as long as we hold our position, the direct promotion to second-class slaves promised by General Fermor will belong to us. !" The centurions in the rear shouted to the soldiers in their ranks.

"Wowowo!" The slave soldiers responded with a loud war cry, not sure if it was excitement or to cover up fear.

"According to the rules of military merit, all Dothraki corpses that fall in front of our formation will be counted as our military merit! The front formation has collapsed! Those Dothraki who were eliminated by them also belong to us!"

The slave soldiers shouted again, this time obviously much more excited than before.

"Now! Hold your position! After this battle is over, you will all become first-class slaves! Resist the horse!" Following the orders of the centurions and the shouts of the slave soldiers.

The centaurs who had distanced themselves and charged again quickly broke through the fragmented front formation and crashed into the rear formation of the Slave Iron Legion.

But unlike what they imagined, these slave soldiers in the rear formation would waver like the front formation and flee in all directions in an instant. The wall of needles remained motionless under their impact. The front rows of both sides suffered huge losses in an instant. Loss.

The Dothraki cavalry had to retreat again, preparing to distance themselves and charge again, but as they separated from the back formation of the Slave Iron Legion, the long-range weapons on the river once again aimed at them and fired wildly at them, causing them to stay again. Lots of corpses.

Makokao watched all this from a distance, his heart bleeding.

The psychological tactics of the initial cavalry charge and the third official charge were formulated by Makokao himself, because the tactics themselves were not complicated, and the roaring warriors also successfully executed his tactics.

But when these centaur cavalry joined the enemy, they broke away from Makokao's control. These roaring warriors were commanded by a Kou who took the initiative to defect to Makokao.

When they found that they were unable to break through the front line of the Githnu soldiers but could not break through the back line, their pride as a Dothraki and their not-so-developed brain cells dominated them.

Just like their compatriots under the city of Qohor hundreds of years ago, they stood firm on the terrain that had piled up corpses, which seriously hindered their charging speed, and braved the falling crossbow bolts to launch an attack on the slave army's rear array. Frenzy impact again and again.

Makokao sent out an unknown number of teams of messenger cavalry to bring them back to reorganize the attack.

But because the Kou who was responsible for commanding them had already died in the battle, the orderly soldiers could not find anyone who could command these roaring warriors whose bodies were filled with only adrenaline.

Even under the influence of these roaring warriors who charged desperately, many officers who delivered orders also joined their ranks and launched a charge towards the phalanx of the slave soldiers.

In Dothraki tradition, warriors who bravely die in battle will turn into stars and rise into the night sky, entering the kingdom of night to enjoy eternal glory.

They are not afraid of death, but they are afraid of the shame caused by being unable to defeat a group of slaves, and they are afraid that they will not be able to ascend to the stars and enter the kingdom of night.

left wing battlefield

At the same time, the large cone formation assembled by Makokao's central army was also ready. Under Makokao's order, they launched a charge at the right oblique angle of the New Gith Iron Legion on Femor's left wing. .

There were a total of three thousand cavalry in the entire cone formation. They attacked with overwhelming force. Although they suffered a round of blows after entering the range of the fleet's ballistae and crossbowmen, they were also attacked when they rushed in front of the New Gith formation. The blows of the javelin rain knocked down many cavalrymen and caused local chaos due to the stampede.

But they still quickly rushed to 20 meters in front of the New Gis Iron Legion formation. Here, the entire cone-shaped front row of cavalry aimed their horse bows at the oblique angles of the New Gis formation and shot their own arrows, then threw away their bows and arrows. Rifle raised.

Under the attack of hundreds of arrows in an instant, a large number of the soldiers in the right corner of the New Ghis Legion suddenly fell. Although the pikemen in the back row quickly tried to make up for it, the Dothraki armored cavalry In the blink of an eye, he had already crashed into the formation through the gap created by the mounted fire.

Equipped with Qohor heavy armor and horse armor, they were almost invulnerable. Even though many spears pierced their bodies during the collision, they only caused minimal damage to them.

On the contrary, those New Ghis soldiers who were stabbed by their lances were directly thrown away, and then smashed into the depths of the phalanx, knocking down the soldiers behind them.

The cavalry in the middle part of the cone-shaped formation drove straight in behind the armored cavalry in the front row. Although the veterans of Xingis did not waver quickly, their entire square formation was directly penetrated, and the diagonal line from the upper right to the lower left was cut through. Cut in half.

The cavalry on the outside of the cone-shaped formation did not choose to enter the formation directly because they did not get such a good gap in the middle. Instead, they crossed against the flanks of the formation, cutting away the infantry on the outside of the square formation like a milling cutter.

However, in the other direction, the Dothraki cavalry who attacked from the upper left corner of the Gith did not have such good luck. They faced far more concentrated firepower than the friendly forces on the other side, with a large number of ballistae and The crossbow arrows shot straight from the river,

There was even a giant crossbow shot from a ballista that completed a series of three attacks on the horsemen and cavalry. This had a strong impact on the Dothraki formation.

As they approached the phalanx of Xingis, they were hit by another round of javelin rain, and for a while many people in the place were on their backs.

So much so that when they rushed into the formation, they only broke through the front line of the New Giths and were blocked. The huge casualties even made it impossible for them to distance themselves and charge again.

But Makokao's purpose of deploying this feint attack on this side has been achieved. Their charge attracted more than one-third of the New Gith Army's troops, allowing the cavalry on the other side to attack the New Gith formation at once. Wear creates conditions.

After breaking into the phalanx of New Ghis, the Dothraki cavalry did not break out of their formation, but directly launched an internal and external pincer attack with the cavalry crossing from outside the formation.

It's not that they, like the centaur cavalry that attacked the Chinese army, got up and wanted to use arakh scimitars to resolve the battle. These armored cavalry were the first to be recruited by Mako, and they were also direct descendants of Mako Kao. Compared with the Dothraki who were later recruited, their obedience was much higher.

It's just because the war horses under their crotches are really unable to complete a wave of charges after breaking out of the square formation. Even if the war horses are in full condition, the maximum attack distance is only about three kilometers when equipped with human and horse equipment. These horses, which had been running in vain for many days, were already at their limit to complete a charge.

Fortunately, their offensive was effective quickly. Under the internal and external attacks of these armored monsters, some of the New Ghis veterans who had been smashed into pieces collapsed and fled one after another.

Under their influence, the entire Xingis Army seemed to be defeated, and they began to flee towards the river bank, trying to jump into the river and swim to their own fleet in order to survive.

With the defeat of the New Gith, the resistance the Dothraki faced on Femor's left wing also completely disappeared, and they began to slaughter the well-equipped New Gith veterans as easily as they cut wheat.

This scene fell into Fermor's eyes. He was actually very surprised. The slave soldiers who had only trained for less than half a year were able to stand up to this point, while the elite of the New Gith Iron Legion, who had experienced hundreds of battles, only withstood one impact and fell into collapsed.

But when he thought about it again, he felt that this was actually quite normal, because the New Gith people had suffered the most ferocious blow from the enemy's elite main force. Moreover, the New Gith themselves did not have as strong a motive in this war as these Astapor slave soldiers.

At least Fermor's conditions for upgrading slaves have no appeal to these proud citizens.

With almost no hesitation, Fermor sent an order to his men, asking the fleet to launch an indiscriminate attack on the New Gith positions.

It was only a matter of time before the formation collapsed and the New Gith were completely annihilated, so the fate that the front line of the Slave Iron Legion suffered just now also fell on the New Gith this time.

A large number of missing crossbows rained down, harvesting the lives of New Gith and Dothraki at the same time.

After giving the last order, Fermor left the command slope on horseback with the guards. He had already seen the horsemen and cavalry pouring out of the collapsed Xingis phalanx, running towards his flag. , if you continue to stay here, you will only be caught by them.

Seeing Fermor leaving the position, the fleet immediately sent several small boats to the shore, preparing to meet the coach.

But to their surprise, Fermor did not go to the river. Instead, he held up his flag with one hand and rushed towards the still resisting Slave Iron Legion position.

There were piles of human and horse corpses in front of their formation. Fermor could not find a gap to enter the formation, so he turned over and climbed directly to the pile of corpses. Upon seeing this, his guards quickly followed suit, chasing after him. Step up to him, blocking his back with your shield.

The Dothraki who were looking for a gap to attack quickly discovered the situation here and the handsome flag in Feimol's hand. A group of light cavalry braved the crossbow bolts that kept falling from the sky and quickly rushed into the area not far from Feimol. position and fired a round of arrows at him.

The arrow hit Femor's back armor, but did not cause any damage to him. The next moment, he was pulled up by the two slave soldiers who stepped forward to rescue him, and successfully jumped into the back of the pile of corpses.

"Put this over there," Fermor handed the flag to a guard who jumped in after him, pointed at the wall of corpses and ordered, "Tell everyone here that I am here too! We will work together Win the glory of this victory!" Or die fighting here together.

Fermor did not say the second half of the sentence, he wanted to appear confident.

Soon, Fermor's guards held up their shields and climbed onto the pile of corpses from the inside, placing the commander's flag on it.

Immediately afterwards, high-pitched cheers and war cries erupted from the Slave Iron Legion formation.

Dothraki were constantly climbing up the wall of corpses around them, but they were all pushed back by the spearmen of the Iron Legion. Some weak piles of corpses were also washed away, but the centaurs who rushed in were immediately attacked by a large number of halberdiers. Siege, quickly added materials to the corpse wall.

Fermor's tactic of moving a large number of halberdiers from the front to the back as a reserve achieved great results. In the melee after both sides had dispersed, the halberdiers not only caused damage to the Dothraki who got on top, The huge amount of damage, even in this desperate situation, still retains the power to fight against the enemy's armored cavalry who did not suffer much losses.

At the same time, the fleet behind them is still shooting. Crossbows are different from bows. An archer can shoot up to 20 to 30 arrows in a battle before his stamina is exhausted. However, as long as the crossbowmen have enough ammunition, they can keep shooting until night. go.

The good news is that the transports following the fleet are loaded with crossbow bolts and they can literally keep firing into the night.

The bad news is, that's most of Ian's wealth that he hoarded to prepare his army to fight Khal Drogo.

If this is defeated, then Fermor can recover most of these arrows, and even the damaged ones can be repaired quickly.

But if you lose.

"Ha!" Fermor laughed. He had already spent all his bets on this battle.

For him, if he lost, he would have died here. So what happens next has anything to do with him?

It didn't take long for Makokao's cavalry to completely annihilate the wavering New Gith, but the barrage of firepower from the shore continued and they were taking losses every moment.

Just as they were preparing to turn left immediately after defeating the New Gith to flank the slave army as planned, they suddenly received Makokao's order to retreat.

Unlike the centaur cavalry that Mako had only recruited in Qohor that were responsible for attacking the Astapor slave army, it was Makok Kao's headquarters who attacked the New Gith. Although they were confused and dissatisfied, they did not Instead of disobeying the order, they immediately retreated and began to move away from the banks of the Skaha Zaban River.

However, because the cavalry horses were exhausted, they could no longer evacuate at a high speed. Under the firepower of the Meereen fleet, the losses they suffered began to increase further.

At the same time, the Dothraki who frantically attacked the corpse wall finally could not bear such huge losses and began to flee backwards. It's not that they lost their courage at this moment, but that the roaring warriors who were truly brave and fearless had already lost their lives long ago, and those who were left were often those with less courage.

Makokao watched all this from a distance. He felt dizzy and almost fell off his horse.

At this point in the battle, it was already far different from what he expected.

The news he got from the new skinchanger ally clearly pointed out that what he was about to face was only two conscripted slave legions that had been trained for less than half a year and an elite New Gith legion.

Therefore, Makota only focused on those New Gith from the beginning.

According to his predictions, those recruited slave soldiers should have been driven directly into the river after his first round of charge was successful, and the New Ghis phalanx that lost its guards on both sides would also fall apart under his pincer offensive. .

According to Marco's estimate, he would be able to annihilate this rabble with no more than 2,000 losses at most in this battle, and the vast majority of the lost troops were the centaurs who later defected.

But now, how many troops have you lost? half? Or more?

Except for the relatively small loss of the elite of his own headquarters used to attack the New Giths, the cavalry used to attack the left oblique angle of the New Giths and the centaur cavalry that had already lost control when attacking the central army were almost completely lost.

Marcocao held the horse's neck and looked to the left. There were two thousand light cavalry there, which were his reserve troops. They had not moved during the entire battle, and their current physical strength was considered weak in comparison. adequate.

With them and the thousands of surviving cavalry he pulled back from the New Gith position.

I just need to charge again. One last time. I just need. Makokao's hands trembled.

Can you really win? he asked himself, but didn't dare tell the answer.

I have to do this, I have to win.

Every Dothraki cut off his braid after a defeat and took off all the bells that symbolized victory.

Marco couldn't imagine what would happen if he cut off his braids.

A bald Kaa, no matter what he does in the future, will never be recognized by other centaurs until he grows his braids again. As a player, it is impossible for him to have time to grow his braids again.

I must. He looked at his direct cavalry who were retreating, praying that they could move faster and get out of the range of the Meereen fleet, and praying that the slaves hiding behind the wall of corpses would quickly board the ship and escape. In that case, he would not need to make any more gambles to declare that he had won this battle.

Even though it was a tragic victory, even though none of his strategic goals were achieved, at least he won, and at least he wouldn't be forced to cut off his braids by his subordinates.

Then when you return to the sea grass, you will have a chance to make a comeback.

Run away, slaves, your performance has shocked everyone, run back.

"Mako Kao."

The shout of one of his bloodriders awoke Makokao from his dazed contemplation. He turned back to look at the man: "What's wrong? The blood of my blood?"

"We stopped a few cowards who escaped from the front, what should we do with them?"

ha? Escape? Marco laughed a little maniacally.

Two hours ago, I gave countless orders telling them to retreat. What if they were willing to withdraw at that time? Escape now? Aren't you afraid of death?

"Kaa, we were deceived!" A Dothraki who was escorted by the Bloodriders immediately knelt down and begged for mercy. "Those people are not slaves at all! They are the legendary Unsullied! They must be Unsullied. Those! Only the Unsullied in the world can remain unwavering under our charge!"

The centaurs had never fought such a frustrating battle before. They traveled across the entire Essos, and which army they encountered didn't collapse at the first touch? Except for the legend of the Battle of Qhor hundreds of years ago, the Dothraki have no record of defeat at all.

"The Unsullied?!" The moment he heard this term, Makokao woke up from a dream.

So that’s it! It turns out they are the Unsullied! No wonder they can withstand our charge this time. It turns out they are the Unsullied! Only the Unsullied can do this!

If I had known that they had deployed six thousand Unsullied here, how could I have led my army to catch up with them? Even at full status, I may not choose to confront the Unsullied personally, but leave them to Drogo to deal with!

That cunning Ian! He actually disguised the Unsullied as some form of slave soldier recruitment to deceive me into pursuing him!

Yeah, I should have thought of that, that cunning guy.

He ran to Pentos almost empty-handed. When he left, he took Daenerys with him, took Illyrio's dragon eggs and wealth, and left a catastrophe for Pentos. .

In the end, he succeeded in making us all believe that these bad things were done by the guy named Darren Grafson!

Why do we dare to plot against such a person and catch him off guard?

"The blood of my blood?" The Blood Alliance guard asked again when he saw Makokao's silence.

"Before the battle." Marco said for a moment. He originally said that if he escaped before the battle, he would kill without mercy.

But if you kill them, what will you do next?

Do we really want to charge at the Unsullied who have regrouped on the river bank again?

Marco took a deep breath and looked at the cavalry who had withdrawn from the enemy's range.

These people were all the elites of their direct lineage. They only lost one-third, but their physical strength was very serious. Until this moment, his greatest wealth is still there, but if he charges again, it is unknown how many of these people will come back and whether they can come back.

Do you want to risk so many people's lives to protect your own braids? That's stupid.

But, but...

"Mako Khal? What's wrong with you?" Another bloodrider noticed that Marco's state was really wrong and asked.

"I" Marco opened his mouth with difficulty.

He wanted to retreat, he really wanted to, and Ian Falcon, who was observing the whole situation from the sky, could tell Makokao's thoughts at a glance.

But at the same time, Ian also knew very well that as a Dothraki Kaa, Marko could not issue this order at all.

People who are trapped in a group will not be allowed to have their own personal will.

Such a story is recorded in Zizhi Tongjian.

During the Sixteen Kingdoms period, Emperor Ran Min of Ran Wei besieged the State of Xiang and could not attack it for a long time. It was not until March of the following year that the State of Xiang received reinforcements. The two groups of troops sent by Ran Min to block the reinforcements were defeated.

Three armies of the enemy gathered and sought a decisive battle from Ran Min. Ran Min wanted to avoid his attack on the advice of his deputy Wang Tai, but at this time the Taoist priest Fa Rao said to him, "Now that the thieves are here, there is no way to avoid them." , why use the generals? ’, which made Ran Min change his mind.

In the end, Ran Min chose to go all out and fight decisively, and was completely defeated.

So why does this sentence have such a big impact on Ran Min?

Because Fa Rao's words were actually reminding Ran Min that he had been coerced by his own army.

What are the main components of the army under Ran Min?

"If someone from Zhao, both inside and outside the squadron, beheads his head and sends it to Fengyang Gate, he will be promoted to the third rank as a civil official, and as a military officer, he will be promoted to Yamen." ’

These officers were all promoted by killing Hu Ling. Regardless of whether their original purpose was revenge or promotion, they have already become red-eyed after killing. At this time, it is already up to the coach to decide whether to continue killing. Yes. Even if you try to stop them from continuing at this time, they will kill you directly and then choose a new leader.

Therefore, after Ran Min became emperor, he could only continue to attack northward. After killing all the Shi family, he would kill all the Jie people. After killing all the Jie people, he would kill all the Hu people. He went on a military rampage and was eventually defeated by Qian Yan. The regime A flash in the pan.

The Dothraki are actually very similar to this. They themselves are a group movement wrapped up in their culture and traditions.

Most of the time, there are only Kaaos who die in battle, but no Kaaos who are defeated and escape.

Because the Khals know that once the courage they show is not enough to match the identity of Khal, they will immediately be killed by their own men and then replaced by a new Khal - this is why many times the Dothraki even This is the reason why we must win even in the face of very heavy casualties.

Sure enough, although Makokao wanted to try to withdraw his troops, he could not even convince his three bloodriders.

Under the unanimous opposition of the three bloodriders, Marco had to give up the idea of ​​retreat.

Finally, he ordered the reserves to be mobilized to the front line, and then asked the cavalry that had just withdrawn to replace some horses that were in slightly better condition, and gave them a pre-order to rest for two hours before attacking again.

It's been a long time, and Marco is still waiting.
