Chapter 302 The Battle of Kaisai Pass (A prairie fire of wrath)

The center army of the Gith coalition used almost the same tactics as the left army. Ian alternately deployed 2,000 Unsullied and 3,000 Lazarin cannon fodder to form the front line of the center army.

7,000 Unsullied were deployed in the rear of the Chinese army - most of Ian's long-range troops were deployed in the left army and the hills on the left. The Chinese army had no shooters available, so Ian directly let the Unsullied serve as The functions of the crossbowmen and mountain men in the left army were, after all, the Unsullied who were proficient in the use of three types of spears and were themselves the most elite throwers.

Moreover, because most of the defensive horses that Ian created by cutting down trees nearby in the past two days were placed on the left army, the Chinese army's defensive line of defensive horses was far thinner and sparse than that of the left army, and there was a lot of chance of being breached. risk.

Therefore, there is a high probability that the Chinese army's rear formation will engage in large-scale hand-to-hand combat with the Dothraki cavalry entering the formation - such a job is perfectly suitable for the Unsullied.

The bloodrider Koholro, who commanded the Dothraki center army, almost acted together with the second batch of cavalry on the right wing of the centaurs led by Drogo himself. Therefore, when Khal Drogo himself rushed into the gap of the left army, Koholro The first batch of Dothraki cavalry led by the Central Army also broke through the formation of Lazarin's cannon fodder and broke into the formation.

The ratio of Unsullied to Lazarim in the front line of Ian's central army was two to three. Therefore, the first wave of Dothraki charges directly penetrated three-fifths of the entire front line of the Chinese army. This made From the perspective of the Dothraki, their attack was not just as simple as opening a few gaps in the Gith army, but more like it had completely routed them.

The joy of breaking the formation and the pleasure of massacre pulled Coholo's cavalry. They did not leave one-third of the troops as the final reserve like the right wing commanded by Drogo. Instead, the whole army rushed forward and headed straight for Ian. The Chinese army came.

This is exactly what Ian wanted.

Letting the entire front line be almost completely defeated was a risky decision made by Ian in order to allow the enemy to put most of its troops on the battlefield faster.

After all, the contact area between his central army and the enemy is only about 700 meters. If he still only leaves some gaps for the enemy to attack like the left army did, the speed of the Dothraki pouring into the pocket will be much slower. In the end, Ian When the net is closed, a large number of Dothraki will be in a position to retreat.

Those Dothraki who successfully retreated would have caused great damage if they reached Lazarin, but Ian had little ability to catch up and annihilate them.

There is only one chance for a decisive battle like today, where the opponent takes the initiative to attack a position that has been occupied for two days. After Gistaka and today's battle, other Dothraki will be a hundred times more cautious when facing themselves. If they want to deal with them at that time, they can only rely on cavalry that is more powerful than them.

So Ian must take the risk.

It stands to reason that this behavior of using more than half of the troops on a certain front as 'bait' can easily collapse the morale of the surrounding friendly forces, leading to the defeat of the entire army. But the good news is that the main force of Ian's entire Chinese army is composed of Wu Gu. composed of.

The Unsullied have a morale lock, which in this case is equivalent to cheating.

Vultures and crows were circling in the sky, and Ian Falcon had to lower his height slightly to avoid bumping into those guys or being blocked by them.

Through the vision of the two falcons, Ian can easily control the trend of the entire battlefield.

The front line of the Chinese army was torn apart, leaving only a few square formations composed of the Unsullied with heavy casualties. The Dothraki cavalry rushed towards the rear army crazily, and some were shooting at the Unsullied in the rear. Some of them had already broken through the weak resistance of the Chinese army, and started a hand-to-hand fight with the Unsullied. To be more precise, it was actually a massacre. The light cavalry, which had lost their speed, had little resistance in the face of the Unsullied's long weapons. .

The left army, more than half of the cavalry led by Khal Drogo and Poroko had entered the pocket of the left army. Only the 6,000 cavalry originally scheduled for the third batch of attacks still remained in their positions.

But unlike the nearly one-sided situation of the central army, the battle of the left army was very stalemate, and the crossbowmen in the rear did not take any advantage in the exchange of fire with the besieged roaring warriors.

The rapid-fire crossbows brought from Astapor were assigned to the Fermor Legion on the left-wing hill. The crossbowmen here used the old crossbows originally used by Yunkai and Meereen slave soldiers, and they only fired two in a minute. Three arrows, and these crossbowmen, spear throwers and Dothraki were all unarmored. After the two sides fired at each other across the horse-rejecting line for a while, their losses were equally heavy.

The hedgehog formation formed by the New Gith Iron Legion and the Unsullied in the front also suffered considerable losses from close range shooting and repeated charge attempts by the centaurs who surrounded them.

The well-equipped New Gith First Legion and the Unsullied were slightly better off, while the other two New Gith Legions had a tendency to waver under such a blow.

The entire battlefield was like a meat grinder, ruthlessly harvesting the lives of both sides.

Perhaps this is the first time in thousands of years that this desolate mountain range, which has always been sparsely populated, has welcomed so many guests, so I want to keep them all here forever.

Unable to wait any longer, Ian sighed softly.

The reason why he used these cannon fodder to stand behind the horse-rejecting line to shoot at the Dothraki, while keeping the mercenary longbowmen and Lazarin archers who were obviously more advantageous in shooting at the Taniguchi reserve army, was that In order to give Drogo the illusion that he can defeat him no matter how hard he works, thus inducing him to invest all his remaining troops.

But now Ian is worried that if this continues, Khal Drogo might be able to defeat the left army, or at least, he can defeat the two poorly equipped New Gith legions and then break out.

"Yada, let the 'Military Band' give the order to start serving our kaos." After Ian saw that more than two-thirds of the enemy's cavalry had already entered the formation, he turned around and ordered to the water dancer Yada. road.

"Yes, sir." Yada took the order and left.

The voice of the order soon sounded. Unlike the chaotic battlefield ahead, the position of the Taniguchi Reserve Army, which was left as a reserve at the entrance of Kaisai Pass, was in order at the moment. Although the shouts of killing from the front could be heard here from time to time, but The officers still clearly heard the instructions from their commander in the military formation, which was completely silent.

After they waved the flags and completed the feedback that they had received the order, a dragon roar sounded, and the vultures and crows gathered in the sky fled in an instant.

The black dragon Ion took off from the nearby mountain and came to the sky above the battle position. Under the guidance of the 'dragon mark', one thousand mercenary long archers and two thousand Lazarin archers in the Taniguchi reserve army quickly moved to the designated position. superior.

Immediately, a large number of ignited bows and arrows fell from the sky, falling like fire rain on the Dothraki cavalry group in front of the horse-rejecting line.

The next moment, a large number of dry weeds and shrubs on the ground were ignited, and large flames raged with heat waves. In the steaming hot wind, the fire spread rapidly, and the bushes spread forward like a sea of ​​​​fire. Raging flames soared into the sky, thick black smoke began to envelope the crowd, and arrows continued to fall from the sky, like the shadow cast by the god of death.

The fire frightened the Dothraki horses, although the Roaring Warriors had the most exquisite riding skills and the training to ensure that they could control their mounts in any situation.

But fire was not one of them, especially among such a crowded crowd. It was impossible for the Roaring Warriors to control their mounts before causing chaos.

The Dothraki in the pocket quickly fell into huge chaos. The cavalry collided with each other and trampled on each other. The advantage they had just regained briefly with their excellent shooting skills was suddenly gone.

"Look on the mountain! A new enemy has appeared!"

"That's that?" Hago, the bloodrider who was responsible for commanding the third group of cavalry under Drogo, looked up after hearing this, and saw that a large number of Gith began to appear on the hill that had been captured by another bloodrider, Corso. The flag was raised, and a large number of infantry appeared on the slope.

Then they began to move down the mountain along different roads one after another, with flying flags waving on the hillside like waves. At the front were the slave soldiers of Astapor, and behind were a group of people wearing different costumes. Lazarin tribesmen in different costumes.

Those 'goatmen' who would normally be frightened out of their wits when talking about the Dothraki, now their morale is extremely high, as if they are looking forward to some exciting moment to let them vent their past thousands of years. The pent-up hatred and anger towards the Dothraki.

"How is this possible?" Hago was a little confused, confused in every sense of the word.

Whether it was why so many enemies suddenly appeared or why Corso disappeared, Hago couldn't figure it out.

Hago is not a wise person. In the original book, after Daenerys married Drogo, her only impression of the bloodrider was that he was "huge but silent."

At this moment, seeing the enemy suddenly appearing on the hill, as well as the friendly forces still blocking the gap in the Gith army's formation that had not been able to completely defeat the enemy, Hago was still unable to make a decision.

He was worried that the enemy on the hill would threaten his rear, and he was also worried that Drogo would not be able to catch up in time when he needed follow-up troops to carry out the final blow.

He sent several sentries to ask Drogo for instructions, but none of them came back. It is not known whether Drogo was not found or something unexpected happened, or both.

Before hesitating, all the enemies on the mountain had descended and formed their formation again.

"We must destroy them, otherwise once they merge into the enemy's left wing, they will block Kaa's retreat." It wasn't until the commander of the remaining three thousand men of Poroko came to remind Hago that he realized that he had A decision must be made.

"Then destroy them. We will lead our troops to attack their left and right sides respectively, and strive to defeat them in one fell swoop!" Hago gave the order. When Kaa is away, the bloodriders will represent Kaa, and Poroko's men will naturally return. Hago directs.

After the order was given, the two began to act separately.

After the enemy came down the mountain, they took the initiative to move south. At this time, their sides and back were exposed. It was much easier to annihilate them at this time than when they just attacked the mountain.

These enemies were only a little over 10,000 people, and there were nearly 6,000 on our side. With this advantage, the last time the Dothraki failed could be traced back to the Battle of Qohor. The Battle of Qohor was not a field battle. .

So, under the leadership of Hago, the cavalry left in reserve began to move north.

Poroko tried hard to control the horse under his crotch to prevent it from frightened and restless. The thick smoke made his face dark, and tears kept falling on his red eyes.

The hand holding the bow and arrow dropped. Poirot could no longer remember how many enemies he had accurately shot. If it were in the past, such killings would definitely make him excited, but today...

Today was a disaster.

Except that at the beginning of the attack, Poirot led his bodyguards to directly break through the enemy's formation, and then chased the defeated troops all the way to the front of the horse-rejecting line, which was not what he expected. The rest of the story is just that. Completely beyond his control.

It is not that Poirot has never encountered an enemy who has set up a formation to resist horses or chariots. Faced with this situation, the Dothraki have a common method, which is to attack and feign defeat. As long as they leave enough corpses, they will be able to Attract those stupid enemies to pursue you, then annihilate them all.

But this time, they didn't even have a chance to implement the plan.

The way to retreat was not blocked by the enemy, but by our own people. The cavalry on the periphery still wanted to rush in, but their retreat order could not be conveyed.

The sharp arrow cut through the thick smoke, and Poirot felt that someone else had fallen beside him. He could no longer remember how many of them, even his son. His young son who had just become the Roaring Warrior, At this moment, he was also lying under the horse.

There were several broken arrows stuck in his son's bronze skin. The despicable Gith used barbed arrows that couldn't be pulled out, so he simply broke the handles of these arrows, leaving the arrows in his body and continued fighting until he was seriously injured. He died and fell to the ground and was burned by the flames.

The flames burned until four meters in front of the wall. At the same time, there were no flames burning outside the phalanxes of the Gith and the Unsullied. What the Dothraki didn't know was that Ian had already cleared the weeds and weeds in these places. Shrubs create isolation zones.

The centaurs only knew that there was no fire there, and they rushed toward those places even more frantically.

Our own flanks are flanked, the enemy's troops are routed, and our own side pursues and harvests them.

In Hago's countless previous experiences, things should have developed like this.

The enemy's Unsullied and New Gith Legions have already appeared in the front, and few of the troops running down from the hills are wearing cowardly iron clothes. His attack should have been successful in one blow, but

Did their crossbows shoot too fast?

After the two armies approached, Hago felt that the crossbow arrows were coming in overwhelming numbers. In just over 20 seconds, when his own side began to accelerate quickly, and finally began to rush into the enemy's formation at full speed, the opponent actually fired three rounds of arrows. .

Not only did a large number of the cavalry around Hago fall, but even Hago himself was hit by an arrow in his left arm.

In Hago's memory, he had never seen a crossbow that could shoot so fast, nor had he heard that the master craftsman could create such a masterpiece.

Of course, none of this mattered because he had already touched the enemy.

Hago followed two roaring warriors and crashed into the oblique corner of a phalanx. Although the opponent did have a few spears turned towards him and others at the end, these sparse spears were unable to turn when the entire phalanx was unable to turn. The weapons were completely unable to stop the centaurs and cavalry. Many slave soldiers were knocked away with desperate screams, bringing down a large number of people, and the roaring warriors who were stabbed also fell straight into the bright spears with their horses.

Sure enough, he was vulnerable. Looking at the enemies who were scattered in an instant, Hago raised his arakh and slashed straight at the unprotected neck of a slave soldier. Blood spurted out and was hit by the arakh. The inertia was brought into the air, drawing a dark red blood trail.

Feeling a shock in his crotch, Hago suddenly found that a spear had stabbed his own horse. The horse immediately neighed in pain. The opponent's spear was not drawn out, and Hago's arakh scimitar was enough at this distance. He couldn't find the enemy, so he skillfully took off his bow and shot the slave soldier in the head with an arrow.

The sound of heavy skinned drums and harsh metal sounds that would appear on the battlefield from time to time sounded alternately again, and then a black shadow passed across the sky.

At the reminder of a personal guard, Hago looked towards the hills to the west.

Horse God is on top! After these slave soldiers who were about to be defeated, a new enemy actually appeared on that hill? !

What the hell is this? Wizard's magic? Can you create an army out of thin air?

Hago couldn't wait for the answer. Just as he was stunned, a crossbow bolt shot into his ribs at a very large angle. If Hago had armor, even an old leather armor, maybe it would be It's a pity that it was possible to survive under this low-power rapid-fire crossbow.

The severe pain caused Hago to lose his strength all of a sudden. He was unable to control his war horse, which was restless due to the injury. He was shaken directly and fell into the crowd. Then countless spears and halberds stabbed him. bloody and bloody.

"Prietorian Guards Cavalry, attack!"

On the hill, Quego, the commander of the Guards Cavalry, who had received the order from the Chinese army, roared angrily.

Immediately afterwards, the Guards cavalry around him poured down from the hillside and rushed towards the back of Hago's troops.

Amidst the thunderous roar that drowned out the horrified cries of the soldiers, the yellow double-headed eagle flag held by the Guards cavalry fluttered in the wind, rolling over like a huge yellow wave as the horses jolted.

They were the losers in the tribal struggle on the grasslands. They were slaves who no longer deserved to ride war horses and pick up arakh scimitars. It was Lord Darry who purified them with miracles, gave them horses and weapons again, and allowed them to become warriors again.

Now, they want the most powerful Khal on the Dothraki sea to hear their roar.

The painful neigh of the war horse echoed throughout the battlefield, and Drogo walked on the ground holding the arakh in his hand tightly.

Not far in front of him was his red horse - the horse that he was proud of. It was rolling on the ground at the moment. There was no good piece of meat on it. The burnt breath spread into Drogo's nose. It made him furious.

Drogo was saddened by the loss of his beloved horse, but what made him sadder was the constant death of the soldiers around him.

With so much smoke in the air, Drogo has no way of knowing what's going on, and he can no longer effectively give orders to anyone but those around him.

But he knew his people were being slaughtered.

"Ian Darry!" Khal Drogo roared, calling Ian by his first name for the first time instead of referring to him as the Thief of Pentos or the Coward of Gith. "Come out! Ian Darry Rui! Come out!"

"Don't hide in the shadows! Ian Darry! Come out and fight me!" Drogo roared, minding his own business, "I will kill you with my own hands!"

But he was just a mortal after all, and the sound coming from his throat was drowned out by the surrounding noise within a few meters. No one heard his voice, and no one knew that Kaa was trying to challenge Ian to a fight in this desperate situation.

Of course, even if Ian heard it, he would just pretend not to hear it.

He is not Rhaegar, and he will not be stupid enough to accept a single challenge when the army has the upper hand.

Drogo was shouting when a crazy horse with flames all over its body suddenly ran towards him. He turned sideways to dodge it, and the horse immediately hit the New Ghis phalanx not far away.

I don’t know which soldiers suddenly failed to resist the pressure and gave way to the fire horse. The horse suddenly rushed into the New Gith people’s circular formation, instantly knocking the people who were hit by the formation onto their backs.

Khal Drogo quickly seized the gap and rushed in with his men. The new Gith circle, with hundreds of people left, was immediately shattered.

"Get out of here!" Khal Drogo retreated from the horse-rejecting line. He knew very well that Ian's entire rear formation was still intact. It was impossible for him to continue the attack with the remaining soldiers in his hands. .

He needs to stand out first. There are Hago's cavalry and Jaco's cavalry outside. He can gather a large number of troops. Now that he knows that the enemy's right wing is all impostors pretending to be Unsullied, his next attack can start from the enemy's right wing. As long as he kills the Lazarins first, he can give Ian a fatal blow again. hit.

Drogo was thinking of ways to counterattack while slashing the New Gith in front of him.

Suddenly, a short sword pierced Drogo's waist from the side, causing him to let out a heart-rending cry. He turned around and slashed with the sword, blood splattered, and half of the New Gith warrior who sneaked up on him was killed. The head disappeared instantly, and red and white liquid sprayed out.

Sensing the curved blade of the scimitar, Drogo looked around and found the body of a roaring warrior. Just as he bent down to pick up the man's scimitar, he felt a strong gust of wind coming from the air.

In an instant, the alarm bell in Drogo's heart rang wildly, and an ominous premonition rushed straight into Tianling Gai. He quickly drew out the dragon bone bow from his waist, and then took the bow with the warley that Fogo (the player) had given him earlier. The arrows of Leah's steel arrows were pointed straight into the sky with the bowstring fully drawn.

This is the way to slay a dragon, at least for a young dragon under a year old.

But the sky is filled with smoke. Where is the dragon?

After a moment's hesitation, dragon flames poured down like lava, and Khal Drogo and the roaring warriors around him were instantly reduced to ashes.

Immediately afterwards, the black dragon Ion climbed at full speed in the black smoke and escaped from the area where he might be attacked.

After all, besides Drogo, it is difficult for Ian to guarantee that there will be no other Dothraki who possess this kind of weapon.
