The giant red and white dragon flying in the sky was just hovering in the sky. Even if the troops of the two warring parties were about to collide, they had no intention of launching an attack.
As expected, Duke Werther's words were reliable, and the counter-rebel side finally settled down and concentrated on defense.
There are a lot of cavalry charging, but the Dornish cavalry is not like the inland areas. Due to the hot weather, the horses' equipment generally does not have any metal armor except for the saddle and a small piece of cloth embroidered with the family emblem. It is divided according to everyone's habits.
, Dorne are all light cavalry.
"Quick! Move all the spear formations to the right!" Count Dalen Weiss of Red Hill City mounted his horse and continued to shout: "Archers, shoot!"
The cavalry came from both sides, and the original long formation was cut off in the middle and divided into two formations to fight.
A hail of arrows flew from the counter-rebel position, and the charging cavalry also fired bows and arrows.
The soldiers in the military formation could not disrupt their formation in the face of the rain of arrows. They could only move and dodge in place. Some were lucky and missed the vital point. After breaking the arrow shaft, they could still fight with difficulty. Some were shot to death on the spot. The soldiers in the rear
Take his body away and take his place.
The cavalry was more mobile and could avoid most of the arrows with a small change of direction. However, many people were still shot so hard that they died on the scorching Gobi before they could even touch the enemy.
Count Dalen Weiss only has about two hundred cavalry at his disposal. To charge now is tantamount to courting death. He can only wait for the opponent to make contact with the spear formation before charging in from the side. He keeps wandering around the formation on horseback.
The commander stabilized his morale and looked at the direction of the cavalry from time to time. After confirming in his mind, he shouted to the soldiers: "They have no infantry support. If they can withstand the cavalry's attack, they will win!"
Roar!! Officers and soldiers also cheered for themselves.
From the prison entrance hall to the upper reaches of the Vance River, there are no water sources or towns in the middle. It is all Gobi and canyons. Nymeria launched the attack this time. In order to achieve an unexpected effect, she asked all the infantry to stay where they were and concentrated on Uller and Ko.
All the cavalry from the two Geer families headed east.
Even if there is only cavalry, the combined number of cavalry from the two powerful families exceeds 3,000. On the counter-rebellion side, there are only two small families, Gogenles and Weiss, with only 500 cavalry, and the combined number of infantry and logistics personnel is only
4,000 people. They were all ready to die when they saw Wu Yangyang's huge cavalry team rushing towards them.
Now no one cares about Jorah and Tyrion. Jorah kneels on the ground and digs a hole with the long claw of the Valyrian steel sword. However, every time he digs a bigger hole, the surrounding sand will flow away.
Come in and fill up the hole. No matter how hard you dig, it won't be deep enough.
Jorah simply grabbed Tyrion and threw him into the pit. He kept pulling the sand with his hands to bury him first: "I hope they can't find you. If I die, remember to send the life-saving money to Bear Island!"
”
Tyrion was thrown into the pit and ate a mouthful of sand. As soon as he turned over, he saw Jorah preparing to bury him first. The sand kept pouring towards him. He covered his eyes with his hands and shouted: "I appreciate your kindness."
I understand! But we don’t have to dig a hole, the dragon didn’t attack!”
"Ah?"
Jorah had seen this red-and-white dragon destroying city walls with dragon flames in Tyrosh, and had also seen it use dragon flames to melt the entire inner city of Tyrosh into lava. After seeing the dragon appear in the sky above the attackers, Jorah
Terrified, Tyrion said to dig a hole and hide it, so he knelt on the ground and kept digging. Now that he heard Tyrion say this, he turned back and looked at the sky.
"Why doesn't the dragon attack?" Jorah knows that the guy in the sky is not even afraid of heavy crossbows, and there are no heavy crossbows here.
"I don't know how to control dragons, how do I know? Maybe Dornish meat is not delicious!" Tyrion had been buried until only his head was still outside, and the surrounding sand continued to flow into the pit: "Hurry up and get me
Get out!"
Jorah turned around, reached out and grabbed Tyrion's shoulders and pulled him out.
Jorah: "No one is paying attention to us now, should we escape?"
"I can't outrun a four-legged horse. Find some water first!" Tyrion ran to the horse-less carriage aside, dug out two water bags, threw one to Jorah who was following him, opened the bag himself and started
Mengguan.
"I miss you, Earl of Bear Island, but I can't die of thirst no matter how I die!" Jorah's mouth was so dry that it cracked, and he started to drink water.
Bang!
"Kill!"
The cavalry on both sides have rushed together with the spear formation, and the sounds of killing on both sides of the battlefield are loud.
Tyrion: "I suggest you put your sword away and raise your hands earlier when you surrender!"
Jorah stopped when he put the sword into the scabbard and took it out again: "I feel bad! The two of us are neutral parties. On this chaotic battlefield, this sword is the only one that can confirm my identity.
Something!"
"That's right! My height is a symbol of my status!" After drinking enough water, Tyrion climbed onto the carriage to observe the battlefield, and Jorah also stood on the carriage.
The most eye-catching person in the entire battlefield was, of course, Ashara Dayne. The noise of the battlefield covered up her roar. She was the first to rush into the spear formation. Her whole body was covered with magic flames, and she was wearing a solid armor. She entered the formation.
After being hit, he began to swing his swords and chop continuously.
The armor blocked her body when the spear stabbed her, so the soldiers tried to use multiple spears to hold her up. However, within a few seconds of contact with the magic flame, the spears began to turn red and soften, and the wooden barrels also began to burn. The spears immediately lost their heads.
Burn a fire stick.
And Ashara also discovered that the knights who were cut the most were the knights in full armor. They had to use flame-strengthened weapons to break the armor, but it was completely unnecessary with Dornish soldiers without armor. Dawn and Dark Sisters were both top-notch weapons.
The sword was cut into two parts, so he changed the flame cloak on his body into an improved lightning cloak. Electricity rushed out from the tips of the swords, forming a five or six meter long electric whip. As the swords were swung, the swords
The move turns into a whip technique, which is especially useful in a crowd.
As Ashara kept rampaging through the crowd, every time the electric whip was swung, more than a dozen soldiers were electrocuted to death. There was only a small black wound outside the body, but the places inside the body where the magic current passed through were already gone.
It was carbonized and fell to the ground with smoke.
Buzz~~~Buzz~~~Buzz~~~Every wave makes a terrifying and loud sound.
Tyrion: "Awesome! Five lightning whips!"
Jorah: "Don't think I don't understand, this is called the Lightning Cloak! It's just that she changed the sword move to the whip technique."
The two most idle people on the battlefield looked to the other side.
After the cavalry met the enemy, they were led by a female knight in ferocious black armor. Every time the black spear was thrust out, it would take away the life of a soldier. The angle and force were exactly the same, and they all pierced the head from the front.
After the attack is successful, he will not hesitate to immediately put away his gun and stab the next enemy again. When there are many people, he will even swing his spear to sweep across. As long as he is swept away, his head will fly out, or he can only bend down to dodge, and in the chaotic battlefield, he will bend down and dodge.
His waist was basically cut off, and what awaited him was the spears of other cavalry piercing his body.
"Is that spear Valyrian steel?" Jorah saw that even if there were soldiers wearing helmets, they were easily pierced by the spear like a paper lake.
Tyrion looked at Jorah in surprise: "You don't know that Duke Werther captured Euron's weapons and armor, and forged the Valyrian steel spear 'White Raven'?"
Jorah: "I only care about the sword!"
Tyrion felt that Jorah's vision was a bit narrow and rolled his eyes at him: "Now you have to pay more attention. Duke Werther can make Valyrian steel himself. In the future, there will be more and more weapons. The Valyrian steel used by King Robert
The Leahsteel weapon 'Dissension' is a huge war hammer."
Jorah hesitated: "No matter how good the weapon is, people will only pay attention to it after it has been baptized by war, otherwise it will be just an ornament hanging on the waist of the nobles. But from today on, everyone in the world will know about the spear 'White Crow'
."
Tyrion: "Not only the spear, but also the Valyrian steel armor with Euron's chin on her body. The only one who uses the 'White Crow' today is Nymeria. In the past, people only knew her as the wife of Duke Werther."
, the illegitimate daughter of Prince Oberon. If the war goes well, Dorne will have another queen named Nymeria!"
[To tell you the truth, I have been using the Huanyuan app recently to read and catch up on new books. It allows me to switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. .huanyuanapp is available for Android and Apple.]
Jorah was a little puzzled: "Queen? Aren't there also Doran, Oberon and Trystane?"
Tyrion pointed at the dragon in the sky: "If my analysis is correct, the driving force behind this civil war in Dorne is the Baratheon family. They want to solve the Dorne problem in a legitimate way and let the blood of Veidt
Inherit Dorne, and the three people you mentioned will naturally disappear at some point."
Jorah: "I don't believe Duke Werther is such a person."
Tyrion expressed Tywin's analysis: "Everyone knows that Werther doesn't like intrigues and tricks, and likes to be straightforward. We have also known the personalities of his three brothers over the years, but the current Hand of the King is Matus Roland.
Wan, he is a wily guy, these ideas must have come from him!"
"Yes, it must be him!" Jorah was active in the Northland and the West Sea. He was not familiar with the new king's hand and only knew his name. Listening to Tyrion's explanation, it seemed to make sense.
"Charge!"
"Sir, our soldiers are still there!"
Count Tremonde: "As long as we kill Nymeria, we will be successful. If we don't kill him, we will all die! Charge!"
The spear formation entangled the cavalry of King Qin's army. Behind the formation, the few cavalrymen of the counter-rebel army began to charge. Under the leadership of Earl Tremonde and Earl Daeron, looking at the line that was about to collapse, they did not care about accidental injuries and directly attacked from their own side.
Crush your own line from behind and kill Nymeria.
Nymeria was wearing indestructible Valyrian steel armor, and several spears could not even leave a scratch on her body. However, there were too many enemies surrounding her, and she killed one after another. But her side
They are also elite soldiers and generals.
Earl Haman Uller and his brother Sir Ulric Uller were not far from her. After seeing Nymeria being besieged, they rode their horses and came here with their personal guards.
The Valyrian steel sword in Dickon Tarly's hand can cut down people one by one. The blade warriors around him are all carefully selected warriors and have undergone special and arduous training, but their weaknesses are
It is also obvious that horse fighting experience is very lacking.
There is no cavalry in Tyrosh. This is something that Werther cannot solve at this stage. Dickon once rode a horse and practiced martial arts on horseback when he was a child. After arriving in Tyrosh, he has been learning other knowledge and abandoned his riding skills. Now he is a little unfamiliar with riding a horse again.
But at least he lived up to his mission. A group of blade warriors protected Nymeria, blocking her flank attack.
"Oh!" Jorah suddenly shouted.
"What's wrong?" Tyrion was too short and couldn't see many things on the chaotic battlefield, so he asked Jorah quickly.
Jorah pointed in the direction of Nymeria: "Count Tremonde's war horse fell, and he probably won't survive."
Tyrion asked again: "What about Lord Daeron?"
Jorah looked left and right to look for Lord Daeron's three-headed black cheetah flag, and found that the guard holding his flag had already fallen down. The flag was planted diagonally on the sand, and was crushed by the soldiers in a short while. "Probably.
Gone!"
The earls of the two families died, and the counter-rebels continued to fight to the death. As more and more people died, the battle line continued to shrink. People who were originally divided into two sides gathered in the middle, and the battlefield moved to where Jorah and Tyrion were. "Surrender!"
"Never!"
The generals on both sides shouted to each other to continue fighting. The cavalry on one side thought that they were all Dornishmen and did not want to continue fighting, while the defenders were also Dornishmen. Surrendering to Dorne would be a huge shame and they would rather die than surrender.
The battle lines were still shrinking, and Jorah didn't want to die, so he pulled Tyrion and squeezed into the middle of the crowd.
Seeing that her attempts to surrender were fruitless, Nymeria immediately ordered the attack to continue. Some of the cavalry dismounted, picked up their shields and formed a shield formation to advance. Some of them wandered around and shot arrows into the crowd. Now it has become a complete siege.
The counter-rebel personnel surrounded in the middle died more and more, and the middle-aged men on the outermost periphery were killed, followed by the older ones on top. After all the dead ones, only archers and women were left.
Jorah and Tyrion were squeezed into the crowd. If this continues, both of them will die.
"We surrender!"
"No more fighting! I order you to put down your weapons!"
Two voices with slightly different accents from Dorn shouted from the remaining crowd. At this time, both sides had little fighting spirit left. After one of the leaders threw the weapon on the ground, it quickly spread, and the crowd threw away one after another.
Weapons.
The only thing left is for the victorious side to count casualties and clean the battlefield, which is naturally done by the soldiers.
Tyrion was considered a clown accompanying the army, and his hands were tied with the prisoners and thrown aside. Jorah was brought to Nymeria as the general of the surrender army.
Jorah: "Lady Nymeria, I never imagined that we would meet in this way!"
Nymeria was sitting on a wooden box drinking water, and several soldiers were wiping her blood-stained armor: "You don't look like a Dornish person!"
Jorah: "I am Lord Jorah Mormont from Bear Island in the north. I just strayed into Dorne territory and was caught by them. I did not participate in this war."
"From the North?" Nymeria looked at his face and leather armor carefully.
Jorah: "My Valyrian steel sword was confiscated by your men."
"Long claws?" Nymeria remembered that Veidt had said that Jorah could prove his identity as long as he found the sword. She looked at Dickon Tarly beside her. Dickon understood, Valyrian steel weapons
He was very familiar with it, so he trotted towards the place where the seized weapons were piled up.
Fortunately, the Dornishman was not very enthusiastic about swords, so he was not taken away as a trophy. He came back with a long sword not long after.
Nymeria touched Longclaw, she had never heard of Jorah before: "Is it really you?"
Jorah: "Not only me, but also Tyrion Lannister from the West. The two of us originally went to Tyrosh together, but we both ended up in trouble."
