Game of Thrones: Battle Royale Game

"My blood, we found a large number of Gith people outside the Kaisai Pass. They stationed a large army outside the pass. According to the estimation of the reconnaissance team, there are at least 30,000 of them. This should be Fogo's The main force of the Gith that my friend discovered before." Bloodrider Kohoro reported to Khal Drogo what the scouts had learned.

"And Fogo's previous judgment was also correct. He said that since the Giths chose to send their main army here instead of just sending a few thousand people, their purpose is to fight us instead of simply stopping us. Us." Poloko, who was attending the combat meeting, added.

"Don't mention that coward to me again!" After Drogo heard the name Fogo, he immediately felt unhappy and scolded him. Then he ordered Kohoro, "Take me to find those scouts. I will do it myself." Watch my enemies.”

"Yes, the blood of my blood." Kohoro accepted the order, and then accompanied Drogo and left the camp with a group of the most elite roaring warriors.

Drogo once had great trust in the young man named Fogo.

Although the Dothraki value martial arts and generally look down upon so-called wise men, those like Fogo, who have extensive knowledge and unique insights into medicine and animal husbandry, are still respected to a certain extent.

As the most powerful Khal on the Dothraki sea, Drogo only has more than 40,000 roaring warriors under his command, and the population of the entire ethnic group is only over 100,000. This is not because he does not want or cannot annex more ethnic groups, but This is because in terms of the medical level of the Dothraki and the carrying capacity of the pastures, the limit for a group that can live together can reach 100,000 people.

A simple evidence is that after Khal Drogo's death, a 'Kor' Poro in his hand called himself Khal Poro and took away Drogo's ten thousand roaring warriors. Just over two years later, when Boluoka appeared in the fifth volume, he already had 30,000 roaring warriors in his hands.

The feed-to-meat ratio of horses is as high as seven to one or even eight to one, while the ratio of pigs, cattle, sheep, etc. is only two to three to one. The Dothraki actually use horses, livestock with extremely low meat yields, as their staple food. A rather outrageous thing.

It is precisely because of this strange tradition that the upper limit of the capacity of the Dothraki's 'Kharasa' unit has been greatly restricted, which means that there have never been any such as the Huns Maodun or the Mongolian Temujin on the Dothraki sea. Such a heroic figure who can truly unify the entire nation.

Fogo had previously proposed a series of highly feasible and high-quality technical suggestions and reform measures to Drogo, allowing Drogo to increase the population capacity of a khalasar to a certain extent without changing the "glorious" tradition of the Dothraki. strength, thereby gaining Drogo's great trust.

Afterwards, Fogo introduced Khal Drogo to a 'wizard' friend who could detect the enemy's situation from a very long distance. This person gained Khal Drogo's trust with several successful advance detections.

It was precisely because of the information from Fogo's friend that the main force of the Gith army was heading towards the Kaiser Pass that Khal Drogo made the decision to leave Khalasar behind in Korazhaj Haas ( The Dothraki name for Gistaka) and the decision to march towards Hessey with the Roaring Warriors in tow.

But what Drogo didn't expect was that just when they were about to arrive in Hexi, Fogo and his wizard friends suddenly disappeared, and the city of Hexi they captured immediately became an empty city.

Because Fergo provided him with false information and defected, Drogo began to doubt the authenticity of his original information that the Gith had brought an army to the Kesai Pass. Therefore, he was not in a hurry to continue marching to the Kaisai Pass, but stopped at Hexi, preparing to send scouts to the Kaisai Pass to scout for information and collect some food and grass nearby.

But to Drogo's surprise, because the Gith were hiding in the mountain pass, his scouts could only confirm that there were indeed Gith there, but they did not know how many there were. The scouts also tried to send people from other mountain trails to the rear to conduct reconnaissance, but those people were intercepted and killed halfway by the Lazarin Mountain Hunters who had joined the Gith Alliance. Although a very small number of people escaped, they did not bring back any valuable information.

On the other side, the raiding team's work was also not going smoothly. The villages around Hexi were almost empty, all the farmland was burned, and all the sheep were slaughtered. When Drogo and the others arrived, the sheep carcasses were already rotting and rotten. Smelly, a week-long raid yielded almost nothing.

The time came to two days ago.

Drogo received a 'gift' from the Pentos thief - the beloved slave girl and heirs that he and the bandits in Khalasar left in Korazhaj Hath (Gistaka).

In this way the Pentos thief announced to himself his victory at Korazhaj Haas and the fact that he had succeeded in seizing the women, children, horses, and property of his khalasar.

This immediately aroused the wrath of Drogo and many Slark.

But Drogo and his men almost unanimously scorned the guy's behavior of sending these people over alive instead of their heads, thinking that this was a symbol of the cowardice of the Pentos thief.

At the same time, Drogo's scouts reported that a large Gith army came out of Kesai Pass and began to camp outside the pass.

At this point, Drogo was truly sure that the main force of the Gith coalition was already two days' ride away from him, and the Pentos thief who stole his fiancée was most likely there.

Immediately, Drogo led the entire army and began to march towards the Kesai Pass.

"You can see them over the high hill, Khal." Less than 3 kilometers away from Ian's position, a scout cavalry on guard here reported to the newly arrived Khal Drogo.

Drogo didn't answer and just rode up the hill.

Climbing to the top, Drogo immediately gained a wide view.

Outside the eastern entrance of the Kaisai Pass is an approximately trapezoidal terrain, with the distance between the mountains on both sides narrowing from east to west.

The coalition forces of the Gith and Lazarin people were deployed between the two mountains. Their front formation was deployed two kilometers away from the mountain pass, occupying a terrain of nearly three kilometers wide horizontally, while the width of the rear formation was as wide as the distance between the mountains. The distance gradually shortens.

On the right side of the Ghis coalition, there is a mountain range that is so steep that it is almost vertical to the ground. This mountain range extends for several kilometers to the southeast and does not disappear until the end of Drogo's field of vision. This protects the coalition's right wing well. Safety.

Therefore, Drogo set his sights on the left wing of the coalition forces. The mountains on that side only protruded a few hundred meters from the entrance of the mountain pass, and their overall trend was more northwestward.

Therefore, the left flank of the Ghis coalition's left wing was completely exposed to the outflanking range of the Dothraki cavalry.

At the same time, in front of the left wing of the Ghis coalition, there is a flat land that is very suitable for horse racing.

Although the left wing of the Ghis coalition itself occupies a slope, its terrain is not steep, and it is basically flat ground for the attacking Dothraki light cavalry.

"It's like inviting us to destroy him." Khal Drogo sneered.

Then, he noticed the high ground further to the left of the Gith left wing. That high ground was much higher than the slope where the main force of the Gith left wing was located, and it seemed that they had deployed some men there.

Suddenly, Fergo's traitorous warning came to mind in Khal Drogo's mind.

The guy warned him more than once that he must not underestimate the Pentos thief.

Although Fergo betrayed him, Drogo felt the need to take the thief's warning to heart. After all, just half a year ago, that guy was like a lost dog, but now he has such a huge rabble in his hands.

Thinking of this, Drogo suddenly felt that he was a little too vigilant.

What's the use of deploying hundreds or even thousands of people on the high ground next to it? All he needs to do is send a group of cavalry to capture the high ground in advance.

In the eyes of the Dothraki, only those on horseback can be regarded as warriors, and those so-called infantry without horses can only be regarded as lambs to be slaughtered.

Drogo never lost a battle in his life.

When his father Barb died, there were several powerful Kou in his father's Kalasari who tried to compete for the position of Khal. Young Drogo easily killed the challengers and took his few Kas troops with him. The generals chased down and killed those Kou who chose to leave the group and establish themselves as Khal.

After that, he defeated countless khalasas, the Lazarins, the Sarnors, and any mercenary group that dared to stand in front of him.

After experiencing countless wars, large and small, Drogo became the overlord of the Dothraki sea.

An army formed by 'goatmen' and slave traders was really hard for Drogo to take seriously.

Based on Khal Drogo’s past experience in fighting those farming peoples, he only needs to have an elite group of roaring warriors attack the Gith’s left wing from the front and side at the same time, and the opponent will be defeated in an instant. Then they will be able to wipe out these inferior ethnic groups who overestimate their capabilities like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.

Just like he had done countless times.

The player Fergo did not tell Khal Drogo what happened in Korazhaj Haas (Ghisdakar) before leaving. He was afraid that after telling the truth, he would be punished by Drogo for his intelligence errors (in fact He deliberately provided false information to Drogo. He, like another player Khal Malko, thought they could easily defeat Fermor's levied slaves and seize Drogo's khalasar's property).

Therefore, Drogo did not know that what Ian's generals defeated in Korazhaj Haas was not just the women and children of his khalasari, but a well-equipped roaring warrior cavalry.

Otherwise, perhaps Drogo would put away his contempt at this moment and take this cowardly thief seriously.

"It's unbelievable that the guy who fled from Pentos like a wild dog actually had the courage to face us directly," the bloodrider Keso rode beside Drogo, looking at the Gith in the distance with a smile on his face. He showed a cruel smile, "Please allow me to kill the Pentos thief for you, and I will offer his head. Please grant me this honor, the blood of my blood."

"My blood, please give me this honor, and I will bring you the head of the Pentos thief." Hago, another Blood Alliance guard, also said quickly.

"Have you forgotten? I swore before the Mother of God by the stars in the sky that I, Drogo, son of Barbo, would personally cut off the head of the thief of Pentos. I would kill those who The cowards of Gith, clad in iron, have torn down their stone houses. I will rape their women, capture their children to make slaves, take their useless idols back to Vaes Dothraki, and pay homage to the Mother Mountain. I I said I would do this myself!”

"The blood of my blood." Hago lowered his head in obedience.

Immediately afterwards, several other bloodriders also lowered their heads.

"Let all the bandits return to their respective Kass. Before dusk today, I will let the blood of these cowards be drained." Drogo gave the final order, then turned the horse's head and headed down the mountain.

The sun rose all the way to the top of Ian's head, and the vicious blazing light made his skin ache.

It should have been time for dinner, but because the Dothraki a few miles away had covered the entire field of vision, today's lunch time had to be postponed.

Fortunately, Ian discovered in the middle of the morning that the Dothraki had begun preparations for a general attack, and asked his soldiers to have an extra meal in advance, so that they would not go into this decisive battle hungry later. .

Ian rode through the gap between the two phalanxes of the former army. Looking at these nervous soldiers, he knew that some of these people would be able to eat today's lunch before dusk, and more people would probably eat it in this life. I can't even eat it.

Ian stopped after riding until he was directly in front of the entire army.

The phalanx behind them was very quiet, which could even be described as silence.

Ian's military orders were very strict. The infantry in the military formation were not allowed to have any communication before engaging the enemy to ensure that they could hear the centurion's instructions and the sound of the golden drum coming from the command position.

Because Ian's deployment of the army had already been completed, the golden drums had completely stopped, and the enemy's attack had not yet begun, the only sounds that reached Ian's ears at this moment were the sound of the wind and the brutal roars that followed the wind.

When looking at the Dothraki from a distance, and the barbaric army that was roaring with a murderous aura, Ian suddenly felt a suffocating depression.

Observing things from the ground perspective and observing things from the sky are completely different concepts.

When Ian overlooks the battlefield from the perspective of an eagle or a dragon, he only has the confidence that the overall situation is in control.

But when viewed from the perspective of his own body, everything turned into depression and even fear.

Without staying any longer, Ian gave up his pretentious idea of ​​leading a group of cavalry to chat with Khal Drogo before the battle and provoke him, and retreated to the rear.

A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall.

It wouldn't be fun if Drogo didn't follow martial ethics and directly attacked during the conversation, or simply challenged him to a duel the way the centaurs did.

Although he was wearing Valyrian steel scale armor, it was not necessary to fight Drogo alone.

Soon, Ian returned to the high ground where the soldiers and the 'military band' were located, through the front and center troops.

The black dragon Ion is also crawling here, and just because of its existence, the morale of the surrounding soldiers has been high.

Ian has now gained control of the black dragon through shape-shifting so that it can fly into the sky after Drogo's attack begins.

"Can we really win? Their numbers are so huge. I have never seen so many cavalry." Daenerys asked in a low voice beside Ian.

"Do you regret coming here with me?"

"How could it be? The war with Drogo started because of me. If I lose this battle, this is the fate I must face." Daenerys stroked the scales on the back of the black dragon Ion and said Said, "I suddenly began to understand how my brother felt at that time. He must be the same as me now."

"On the contrary," Ian knew that she was not talking about Viserys but Rhaegar, and that 'at that time' referred to the Battle of the Trident. "Prince Rhaegar held 4 Ten thousand soldiers, one-tenth of whom are knights, while his enemies only number thirty thousand, and the size of the cavalry is far smaller than his."

"So." Ian looked at Daenerys, "How could he be as fearful as you at that time? He should be as sure of victory as I am."

After Ian finished speaking, he suddenly felt that this description was a bit unlucky, because although Rhaegar had a clear advantage in military strength at the time, he was hit in the chest by Robert's hammer in a one-on-one duel and died on the spot. , resulting in the defeat of the royalist army.

But...it doesn't matter anymore.

The outcome of this war will not be changed by this level of superstition.

The power of those who are good at fighting is like turning a boulder on a thousand-foot mountain or breaking up water in a thousand-foot stream.

The greater the potential, the higher the fault tolerance rate.

For me, who has complete information, superior troops, dragons, heavily armed Unsullied with locked morale, advanced crossbows, and an absolutely favorable location, even if the battle partially collapses out of control, it will not affect the final outcome.

It’s nothing more than how much is lost.

"A sure chance of victory?" Daenerys said in surprise, "Although I am just a woman who doesn't understand war, but no matter how you look at it, our chances of winning are not good, right? Although the remaining three Astapor Iron Legions have already arrived here , but due to the hasty departure, most of them did not wait for the equipment at all.

The armor rate of these three legions is less than a quarter, and the Lazarim are all unarmored. It is impossible for these people to withstand the charge of the roaring Dothraki warriors. The only ones we can really rely on are the unsullied ones. Even so, you still think we have a chance of victory? "

"Actually, the answer is already in what you just said." Ian smiled.

"What is it?" Daenerys was a little confused.

"I've heard that after I left Astapor, you took the initiative to learn a lot from the Unsullied instructors who stayed behind. However, what you said is still right."

"Which sentence?" Daenerys was even more confused.

"The enemy's attack has begun." Seeing Drogo's army begin to move, Ian changed the subject. "Stay by my side and don't run around."

After saying this, Ian sat on the recliner and closed his eyes to save mental energy.

After all, it is a big burden for Ian to control two eagles in order to observe the entire battlefield while controlling the dragon.

"What sentence was he just referring to?" Seeing that she could not get an answer from Ian, Daenerys turned to look at Yada, the water dancer who was accompanying Ian, and asked him.

"If my guess is correct, Your Majesty," Water Dancer Yada paused, "it should be the first sentence you said. You don't understand war." As soon as Yada finished speaking, a strong wind came. .

Then, the black dragon Ion soared into the sky, causing high cheers to erupt from the Ghis coalition position stretching three kilometers below.

"Charge up that mountain!" Drogo's bloodrider Koso led a group of the most elite roaring warriors to appear on the far right side of the battlefield (Dothraki perspective).

As the most brutal warrior under Drogo, Koso originally thought that the vanguard task of attacking the enemy's center would definitely fall on him, but unexpectedly, this task was handed over by Drogo to the older and more stable Koholo.

Koso was unwilling, but not dissatisfied with Drogo or Kohoro, so he decided to pour all his anger on the enemy.

His mission is to capture this hill on the edge of the battlefield before Drogo's Kass on his right wing and Kass of Poloka'o in the center attack the front and sides of the Gith left-wing army at the same time. Lest the Gith army hides behind this hill and suddenly appears to attack our back.

"Vathdos, Dothraka!" Koso roared loudly, and his warriors shouted in response. Amidst the tremors of the earth, the Dothraki warriors drove their horses fiercely, waving the sharp arakh scimitars in their hands. Following closely behind Kesuo, the iron hooves of the war horse crushed the already yellow weeds and brought up bursts of sand and dust on the ground.

The screams of the roaring warriors and the roar of their heavy bodies hitting the ground reached the ears of the foot soldiers on the top of the mountain, causing a wave of fear.

In an instant, Keso's cavalry galloped across the plain under the hill and rushed to the foot of the mountain.

The horses that were the first to rush up the hillside were not hindered by the steep slope. The roaring warriors with extremely superb riding skills easily controlled their horses to leap up the hillside.

The slope inevitably slowed down the charging speed of the Roaring Warriors, but for them who were lightly armed, they were still able to move quickly even after slowing down.

In the distance, a round of crossbow bolts shot down from the top of the slope, and several roaring warriors fell down. The horses under their crotches were still moving forward, and they would not slow down until they realized that the master on their backs was missing. And they The roaring warriors behind them skillfully maneuvered their horses to avoid obstacles in front and continue to move forward.

"Vathdos, Dothraka!" As the war horse ran wildly, everything around him swept back quickly, and in an instant Kesuo reached the top of the mountain.

The Iron Legion slaves stationed on the top of the mountain obviously do not have the same courage as their colleagues in Ghistaka - or their colleagues in Ghistaka know that they will die if the formation is scattered, and The slave soldiers here knew that there were a large number of ambushes behind them.

In short, at the moment when the two sides officially came into contact, the Iron Legion slaves stationed on the top of the mountain scattered and fled.

Except for a few slave soldiers who were unable to dodge and were knocked away or the unlucky roaring warrior who was pierced directly by a spear, the Dothraki cavalry in the loose formation of the first row passed through the square on the top of the mountain almost easily. Array.

Followed by the second and third rows, they passed between the slave soldiers who had begun to scatter. The sharp arakh scimitars ruthlessly harvested these slave soldiers who were seriously undertrained and the soldiers standing beside them. Recruit crossbowmen.

If Makokao's ghost could float here from Ghistaka and see this scene, maybe he would say with emotion, this is what recruiting slave soldiers should be like.
