Game of Thrones: Battle Royale Game

"Kill them all!" Bloodrider Keso shouted loudly as he slit the neck of a slave soldier with the arakh scimitar in his hand.

This is not an order, just a way to vent, because no one can hear his voice here.

The wind roared on the top of the mountain, like the wail of a harpy, covering up the surrounding tramplings, shouts of death, the collision of metal, the sound of skin being cut open, and the sound of bones breaking and shattering.

Kesuo's roaring warriors easily penetrated the entire phalanx of slave soldiers stationed on the top of the mountain, and then quickly crossed over the small flat land on the top of the slope and stepped onto the downhill slope of the mountain back.

At this moment, Ke Suo's vision suddenly widened.

On the back of this hill, there is such a huge army hidden! These cunning Gith! That cunning thief of Pentos!

According to the recent intelligence from Fogo's wizard friend, the total strength of the Gith coalition at Kais Pass should be only more than 20,000. Even if we include the Lazarin mountain people who have arrived at the mountain pass in the past few days, and all the strong men from the plains people who have withdrawn from Hexi to make up the number, their number is only 40,000 at most.

The scout cavalry reported before the war that the Gith force on the frontal battlefield alone was close to 40,000. Drogo judged that there were only one or two thousand people on this mountain at most, so he brought a full 3,000 roaring warriors forward. Kesuo, who came here, didn't even pay attention to what was happening on the top of the mountain.

His mission is to clear out the enemies on the hill, then go down the mountain and cooperate with the army led by Khal Drogo to attack the right side of the Gith left-wing army (Dothraki perspective), defeating the enemy in one fell swoop.

But what's going on here? There are at least 10,000 troops hiding in the shadows of the hills! Where did they come from?

Compared with the gentle slope that Kesuo and the others rushed up, the back of the hill is a large slope with a steepness of nearly 40 degrees. After the roaring warriors broke through the paper-like defense line of the slave soldiers on the top of the mountain, they immediately poured down like a mountain torrent. Down.

The western slope of the hill is only 150 meters long. As soon as Kesuo and the others crossed the top of the mountain, they entered the range of the crossbowmen at the foot of the mountain. Because shooting enemies on the slope will not encounter any obstacles, the shooting accuracy of the crossbowmen at the bottom of the mountain is infinitely higher than when shooting.

For a moment, arrows were like locusts, densely covering the cavalry on the slope. Many cavalry around Kesuo were hit by arrows, and then they smashed down the slope uncontrollably, including men and horses.

This is your last resistance! You will be slaughtered like wild dogs in no time! Koso roared in his mind.

So what if 10,000 people are hidden? No matter how large the flock is, it is nothing more than food in the eyes of the wolf.

In ten seconds, you'll be scattering like your cowardly buddies on the mountaintop! Then let us harvest!

etc? what is that? As the distance between the two armies was shortened to less than 20 meters, the skirmishers standing at the front of the legion at the bottom of the mountain quickly retracted from the gap into the formation.

Only then did Kesuo realize that the enemy had deployed a large number of resisting horses behind the first row of skirmishers! Densely packed thick and sharpened wooden stakes were driven deeply into the ground, pointing directly at Kesuo's eyes.

Ian arrived here two days earlier than Drogo, and two days were enough to do a lot.

No, we can't hit him like this.

Although the Dothraki are brave, they are not complete idiots. They dare to charge directly into the front of the infantry phalanx because all the armies they have fought against so far, except for the Unsullied, will be attacked by them. In an instant, they fled in all directions.

But hitting Juma is another matter. Juma will not be cowardly or run away, it will only kill them.

But it was too late. As the most brutal bloodrider under Drogo, Corso took pleasure in killing people. During the battle, unless Drogo decided to let himself accompany him, Corso would always be at the forefront.

When the cavalry charges, it is impossible for the cavalry in the first row to stop. It will only cause the cavalry behind them to bump into them, and then they will fall to the ground together and be trampled into pieces by the cavalry further behind.

While Kesuo hesitated, a second round of crossbow bolts flew out. This time the distance was closer than before, and more people might have fallen than before.

jump over! Corso made a decision.

The Juma, which was less than 1.5 meters tall, relied on the riding skills of the Roaring Warriors. It was probably possible to jump over it, but there was no other choice anyway.

On this steep downhill slope, the cavalry that had already accelerated could not stop the horses in a short distance, at least the front row had no chance to stop.

What Coso's brain with well-developed muscle cells didn't know was that even if the rear cavalry stopped halfway up the mountain, it would be meaningless. The time it took for the unarmored light cavalry to stop, turn around, and evacuate to the top of the mountain again was already It was enough for the shooters at the foot of the mountain to give them a devastating blow.

"Three, two" Just when Kesuo was holding the reins and counting down the time to take off, a hailstorm of javelins came towards him, mixed with throwing axes and stones.

An ax just flew past Kesuo's face, cutting off his left ear. But Kesuo didn't feel any pain at that moment. All his energy was focused on controlling the horse to cross the horse-rejecting stake. .

As he reached his expected jumping position, Corso lifted the reins of his horse and easily let his horse fly over the wooden stakes, and then became the target of the prepared fire of Astapor's skirmishers.

An unknown number of javelins flew towards Kesuo and the other roaring warriors who had successfully crossed the horse, nailing them into a sieve, and then the spears and halberds of the legion slaves greeted their corpses smashed from mid-air.

More cavalry followed closely behind. Like the snow falling during an avalanche on the mountain, they either ran into the resisting horses that could not be avoided, or jumped over the wooden posts or rushed through the gaps reserved for themselves by the skirmishers. , and then rushed into the military formation behind the horse, and together with the slave soldiers in the front row, they were shattered into pieces in the violent collision.

The roaring warriors in the front row inevitably fell into their fate, and the cavalry in the back row, who had already seen the horse-rejecting stakes on the slope early, successfully stopped, but they were unable to escape the strict military formation of the Gith. There was something at a loss between me and the hills around me.

Without the command of the bloodriders, they fought in various ways. Some took out their bows and arrows to shoot at the enemies in front of them, while others turned around and wanted to return to the top of the mountain.

But this was all in vain, as under the powerful firepower of the Gith, they were all quickly shot and killed on the hillside.

"Prepare to climb the mountain." Fermor Zo Nacroz ordered. "After Drogo's general attack begins, we will march to his back."

Fermor was Ian's original left-wing commander, but in this battle, Ian's actual deployment should be regarded as "hill reserve army, left army, center army, right army and Taniguchi reserve army". Fermor The legion commanded by Er was deployed to the left hill together with the Guards Cavalry, and the left army, regarded as the 'left wing' in the eyes of the Dothraki, was handed over to the eager commander-in-chief of New Gith, Eres. ·Zo Emde.

That was the most important battlefield in this battle, and Ian needed a veteran who was more experienced than Fermor to take command.

The point is, allowing the leader of the New Gith to win the most important honor in this battle will greatly enhance the New Gith's sense of identity with the future empire, and increase the possibility of taking New Gith without a single blow. If he cannot , then the New Gith Legion, which suffered heavy casualties in this battle, will also lose the capital to fight against itself.

The troops led by Drogo and Poirot also took action immediately after Corso's operation. He did not wait for the battle on the hill to end. As Corso had thought before, in the information Drogo received, that hill had the most There were only one or two thousand infantry, and he had no reason to think that Corso could not take it.

According to Drogo's plan, this time he and Poroko will each lead 12,000 roaring warriors to attack the left wing of the Gith coalition from the front and the side, while his own blood ally Koholo will lead 10,000 cavalry. Stand by in the middle army. Once it is discovered that the enemy's left-wing army shows signs of defeat, he will lead his army to attack the enemy's center army.

As for the right wing of the Ghis coalition, Drogo's scouts could recognize the iconic spiked helmets of the Unsullied from a distance. The eunuchs were wearing half plate armor, with a forest of spears and halberds, and they were leaning on a nearly vertical Cliff formation.

Drogo simply gave up the idea of ​​attacking the Gith right wing, and only deployed Jako's Khas on his left flank - Jako had the fewest manpower, but it was enough to keep an eye on the enemy.

Drogo decided that after defeating the center and left wings of the Pentos thief and taking away his long-range positions in the rear, he would then concentrate his entire army to deal with the Unsullied. A more ideal situation would be to defeat the central army. Then directly capture the Pentos thief, thus avoiding a direct battle with the Unsullied.

Khal Drogo led his elite cavalry and quickly moved them to the flank of the Gith left-wing army. At the same time, he noticed that Corso had defeated the enemy's defense line on the top of the mountain.

Although Koso and the others quickly disappeared into the shadows behind the mountain, Drogo knew that Koso was chasing the remaining enemies.

"Attack." Khal Drogo waved his big hand forward, and the three thousand cavalry left the large army and began to advance towards the left side of the Gith left wing.

Boro's Khas almost kept pace with Drogo, and also sent three thousand cavalry to begin approaching the front of the Gith left wing.

Of course, because Ian invested a lot of troops on the left wing, and the leftmost military formation itself faced the left, for the Dothraki, both directions they wanted to double-team could be regarded as frontal.

Apart from the Dothraki, no one would use cavalry in this way in a frontal attack, right? Eres Zo Emde, the commander of New Gith who commanded the left army, couldn't help but think of this.

There is no record of large-scale use of cavalry in the ancient books of the Gith Empire. All the war experience of the Gith people was invested in infantry. As for the later Valyrian Empire period, it was even worse. The Valyrian people The level of using 'humans' to conduct war has even degraded to the point where it is inferior to primitive people, because dragons can solve almost all their problems.

However, in the wars between New Gith and Qarth, as well as some cities along the Summer Sea and Jade Sea, to compete for markets and colonies, Ereth Zo Emud still accumulated a lot of experience in using cavalry.

Using infantry to attract the opponent's infantry, and then using cavalry to charge sideways or back is basically the most common method. This does not mean that it is impossible to break through from the front, but the cost of cavalry is too high. For the side using pikemen, it can use three Exchanging a spearman for a cavalry is definitely a gain, even if it is five for one, there will be no loss.

Therefore, in those battles that must be attacked from the front, the cavalry commander will inevitably try to find the weak point first, and then repeatedly attack that point like a nail in order to open the gap, and then rush in to fill the gap. expanded to significantly reduce casualties.

Instead, Eres Zo Emd looked at the Dothraki who had already started charging in front of the formation, instead of charging directly against the entire defense like them.

However, Khal Drogo does seem to have the capital.

From the perspective of economic cost, exchanging three spearmen for one cavalry is a good profit, but if the number of enemy cavalry is not much less than the number of one's own spearmen, this exchange of blood is another story.

Fortunately, that kind of terrible battle loss ratio will not happen.

Seeing the Dothraki cavalry that was already close at hand, Ereth Zo Emd smiled.

"Vathdos, Dothraka!" With a deafening war cry, the roaring Dothraki warriors charged madly and crashed into a wall of Gith infantry amidst the roar of their horses.

Soon, the Dothraki who rushed to different phalanxes found that they were facing completely different fates.

After some roaring warriors scattered the Lazarin cannon fodder who were standing in the front row of the enemy and were armed with short spears and even wooden sticks, they slammed into the horse-repelling stakes hidden behind them, and both men and horses were stabbed out of the huge There were blood holes, and then together with the rear cavalry who continued to hit because they could not slow down, they were overturned by the super long spear stretched out from behind the horse.

And other roaring warriors got what they wanted and easily broke into the enemy's square formation. Those seemingly neat infantry teams were just as they expected, like iron sculptures that had been rusted for who knows how many years. One poke and it turned into powder.

Many Roaring Warriors didn't even feel the reverberation caused by the impact as they passed through the thin square array and rushed into an open space.

The roaring warriors who were blocked from the phalanx by their horses and super long spears saw that their companions beside them had opened a gap in the enemy's formation, and they quickly changed their direction and rushed towards the gap together.

"The vanguard has achieved results, the follow-up troops will follow up!" Khal Drogo ordered decisively after seeing this scene, "At the same time, let Kohoro also start attacking!"

There are as many as 10,000 Unsullied in pointed helmets on the right wing of the Gith, which shows that the main force of their Unsullied is deployed there. At this moment, some phalanxes appeared on the left wing that could block the cavalry attack. There was no doubt that those in these positions were the Iron Legion of Xingis.

If the Unsullied and the New Gith Legion were deployed on the left and right wings respectively, the enemy's center army would only consist of the goatmen who recruited slave soldiers and Lazarin.

Then Koholo does not need to wait for the battle on the left wing to end, and can directly attack the rabble. He may even be able to end the battle earlier than the left wing.

The cunning thief actually wants to take advantage of the inertia of the coach's defensive line, which is the most difficult to break through, and fill the Chinese army with some rotten fish and shrimps!

"Tell Kohoro that I want him to capture the Pentos thief alive! I will kill that coward with my own hands!" Drogo gave the final order, and then began to drive forward.

Now that the vanguard has opened seven or eight gaps in the formation of those cowards, the entry of the second batch of roaring warriors will completely defeat the enemy.

Therefore, Khal Drogo will personally lead this attack.

Following the front row of cavalry, the roaring warriors in the rear row continued to rush toward the gap that had been opened. What they didn't know was that the cavalry who had already poured into the gap encountered a disaster.

These gaps were deliberately placed by Ian for the Dothraki.

There are two main ways to annihilate cavalry. One is to have more and more elite cavalry than the opponent. The other is to have powerful long-range troops and create an environment that makes it difficult for the enemy to retreat.

For example, the large downhill slope behind the hill on the left is completely in range, and another example is the one created by Ian by alternately deploying the Lazarin cannon fodder and the New Gith Iron Legion/Unsullied to create a perfect match for the arrogant Dothraki. Tailor-made large pockets.

The roaring warriors who charged at Lazarin's cannon fodder broke through their front line with little resistance and crashed into the open space behind the front line. Some of them rushed forward without hesitation, rushing through the open space toward the enemy in the distance, but they quickly They were blocked outside a solid horse-rejection line hidden between the front and rear formations.

This horse-repelling wall was covered with sharp wooden thorns in its width of four meters. This distance basically announced the possibility that the Dothraki would not rush through.

Behind that line of defense, there were a large number of spear throwers, Lazarin ax throwers, mountain hunters and crossbowmen. The elite crossbowmen were all assigned to the hill legion commanded by Fermor. Most of the crossbowmen here They are the rubbish slave soldiers of Meereen and Yunkai, but if the enemy is just a trapped turtle within 50 meters away, there seems to be no difference between the most elite crossbowman and the most rubbish.

Other cavalry who were already on the edge tried to attack the New Gith who had not been defeated from the side, in order to widen the gap and allow more companions to pour in.

But the New Gith and Unsullied had already shrunk their formation the moment the cannon fodder around them was defeated, forming hollow hedgehog formations behind the Juma facing forward, with a forest of spears and halberds, allowing the use of Arak to bend The roar of the sword left the samurai completely at a loss for what to do.

They could only take out their bows and arrows and try to shoot these Iron Legion soldiers, but facing these armored and shield-bearing warriors, the killing effect of bows and arrows was not obvious. On the contrary, because of the distance, they fell to the ground one after another under the enemy's javelins.

There were still cavalry pouring into the gap from behind, and those Dothraki who failed to attack the hedgehog had to give up their actions, leaving them to be notified later, and then drove their horses to the open space ahead to receive those who had arrived before them. The companions here have experienced despair.

Javelins, throwing axes and crossbow bolts kept falling on the Dothraki. They were squeezed into a narrow open space and were in chaos. They wanted to attack but had nowhere to start. They wanted to retreat, but there was a steady stream of cavalry pouring in behind them.

They could only take out the riding bows on their backs and shoot at the enemies in front, or try to drive their horses slowly through the gaps in the horse-repelling walls to attack the enemies hiding behind.

Every second, people kept falling.

The hollow formation of the Gith left army is like a huge pool, frantically sucking in the sewage outside the pool through the weak drains that the Dothraki thought they had flushed open.

After entering the formation, they found that the Dothraki who had been fooled attacked the New Gith and Unsullied people who were nailed to the position like nails again and again, but the hedgehog circle formation was basically surrounded by the enemy. Not moving at all.

The Dothraki cavalry crowded together, and as the surrounding open space continued to be filled by subsequent cavalry, without the blessing of running kinetic energy, they found it increasingly difficult to shake the defenses of the New Gith and Unsullied.

There were also many Dothraki who wanted to return through the gap, and then crowded together with the rear cavalry who were still pouring in, causing even greater chaos.

Khal Drogo also noticed all this, but it seemed it was too late, because he himself had already rushed into the gap with the second batch of attacking cavalry.

To his surprise, what he saw was not that the back row of the Gith were being slaughtered by his roaring warriors, but that his own men and horses were all crowded into the small space here, in chaos, trampling on each other.

Arrows rained down from the sky from time to time, taking away the lives of some warriors.

"What happened?" he wanted to ask, but it was too noisy and no one could hear him.

Maybe someone heard it, but no one could give him an answer.

Riding among the crowd, suddenly a spear was thrust at Drogo. He nimbly dodged it, and then used a keel bow with his backhand to shoot an arrow at the opponent. The arrow hit the opponent's chest, but because of the arrow It wasn't hard enough and it didn't penetrate the guy's chest armor, it just left a dent in it.

Looking at these enemies who were surrounded but showed no fear at all, Drogo noticed that the soldiers in the entire phalanx where the soldier was located were all wearing half-body plate armor, and they were all young men, and none of them had beards.

The Unsullied! It's those damn eunuchs!

The next moment, Drogo's pupils suddenly shrank.

Because he discovered that none of these dead eunuchs were wearing their proud spiked helmets.

If these real Unsullied do not wear spiked helmets, what on earth are the more than 10,000 guys wearing spiked helmets on the right wing of the Gith coalition?

Moreover, the Gith troops deployed on the left flank are only over 10,000 men. Excluding the proportion occupied by the New Gith Legion, where are the remaining main forces of the Unsullied?

be cheated!

"Kohoro!" Drogo looked up to the sky and roared.

Crows and vultures have gathered in the sky above this valley, emitting blood-curdling screams, like the song of a harpy, singing the chapter of death.
