Game of Thrones: Battle Royale Game
Chapter 389 Reinforcements
"Their number of cavalry is more than twice that of ours, and the south bank of the Zhouqi River is completely plain." Count Lomas Ismond pointed to the map on the table, "I don't think it is wise to fight the enemy here. .”
"During the Battle of the Trident, Rhaegar's cavalry was twice as many as ours, but in that battle, we ended the Targaryen dynasty." Greatjon Umber said disdainfully. He had advocated it from the beginning. Attack, but unfortunately there were too many conservatives in the command team, and even Duke Eddard Stark himself did not make a decision.
"Rhaegar's defeat was because he himself was hammered down by King Robert, not because his army was destroyed by us, Lord Umber," Lord Roose Bolton reminded, "If Rhaegar had refused King Robert's As for the request for a duel, we may not be able to win that battle, at least not easily."
"I agree with Lord Bolton's point of view," Blackfish Brynden Tully rarely supported Roose's opinion. "At that time, we were at a disadvantage on several fronts, especially the area where the royalist knights concentrated their raids. , our formation has almost been defeated, and if Prince Rhaegar had not died suddenly, we would have been in a difficult battle."
"Moreover," Brynden Tully then added, "Although Rhaegar had the advantage of cavalry at that time, the advantage in total strength was not obvious. Our total strength was close to thirty-five thousand, and Rhaegar's men did not exceed Forty thousand, but now it’s different. The combined forces of Highgarden and the remnants of Targaryen have twice our total strength.”
"I think we can ignore those levies in the Reach," interposed Lord Arstan Selmy, Lord of Harvest Hall in Stormlands Castle and the famous former captain of the Kingsguard, Barley the Bold. Stan is his uncle,
"We fought a battle with the people of the Reach when we were in Bitterbridge, and defeated their army of 50,000 with less than 20,000 people. Those levies from the Reach were just a group of mobs. They had no training and no Armour, and many even without weapons, they fought with hoes, pitchforks, sticks and even gravel and they were defeated at first touch."
"That's because all their knights ran away early!" Count Lomas Ismond was very dissatisfied that his nobles openly opposed his opinions. "The armed mob was vulnerable in decline, but in victory, Even a pitchfork and a stone can kill a knight! When the time is right, they've even slain a dragon."
"I don't think those black gang dragons really died at the hands of the mob." Count Astan Selmy sneered.
"You are going too far, Sir Arstan," Blackfish Brynden interrupted Arstan, glanced at the nobles around him, and said again, "Actually, my biggest question now is, what on earth are we waiting for?"
"I admit that if we fight now, our chances of winning are very low," Brynden continued, "but if we drag it out like this, our chances of winning will only be lower, not higher. The benefactors are marching towards Nightsong City and Blackport. , once they take these two castles, they can outflank our rear.
Belicio Valeros is willing to accompany us in the confrontation. He has not taken the initiative to attack for a long time because he is waiting for the Dornish people. Perhaps they are still waiting for their emperor. The dragon king who used Daenerys's bloodline to claim the Seven Kingdoms. Perhaps he has crossed the Narrow Sea with a dragon and is on his way here. But what about us? What are we waiting for? We have no reinforcements. "
"Well" facing the questioning eyes of all the generals, Ed Stark thought for a long time and finally told the truth, "The valley army led by Lord Corbray landed at Lannisport half a month ago. Boarding the Iron Fleet and coming south, my adopted son Theon Greyjoy persuaded Balon, King of the Iron Islands, to swear allegiance to Queen Shireen.
The coalition forces from the Vale and the Iron Islands will soon enter the Mander River and land near Highgarden. If nothing goes wrong, they will arrive before Dorne. By then, our total force will not be at a big disadvantage. The powerful Valley Knight will also offset the enemy's cavalry advantage. "
"As for Ian Darry's dragon." Duke Ed felt a little incredible when he mentioned this matter. "I don't know if Count Lorraine has the ability to predict the future or what. He has prepared a lot of things in King's Landing. The dragon-hunting weapons even include some Valyrian steel arrows. If Ian Darry rides a dragon to the battlefield, maybe we can really recreate Rhaegar's fall."
"The commanders of the coalition forces are all asking me, why haven't we attacked yet?" Belicio Valeros came to Ian Colu, "We don't need the Dornish people, now we have occupied absolute As long as you give the order, I can immediately destroy Eddard Stark’s army, and then cooperate with the navy to recover all of Westeros.”
"Be patient, my friend. I will give you orders when it's time to attack."
"But... I don't mean to offend, but I want a reason, Your Majesty the Duke," Belicio Valeros hesitated for a while before asking, "I want to know what on earth are we waiting for?"
"The army of the Vale has boarded the Iron Fleet in the West and is heading towards Highgarden. My eagle has been following them to monitor their movements."
"Ah?" Belicio was stunned for a moment, "Then we should launch an attack on Ed Stark immediately, right? Otherwise, wait until their reinforcements arrive."
"So what if their reinforcements arrive?"
"Um, they" do you even need to ask? If they successfully merge, or attack us from both directions, won't this battle become difficult in an instant? Bellicio cursed, but he didn't know what Ian wanted to express, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
"If you had the choice, would you rather be here or face the Valemen in Arryn Valley?" Ian asked with a smile.
"Of course it is here."
"If you had the choice, would you rather fight the Ironborn here or at sea?"
"Of course. It's also here." After hearing this, Belicio Valeros finally understood what Ian meant, "So, we just pretend that we haven't discovered their actions at all, and lure them here? Annihilate them in here?"
"In fact, they may already know my plan," Ian shook his head. The fact that he is a skinchanger is not a secret. Players in the Valley and Iron Islands should not think that their plans can be hidden from the public. " But they still choose to bet on this battle, because after all, once Ed Stark’s legion is destroyed, even if they retreat to their hometown, they will only be able to survive.”
