Chapter 1016 The Battle of Bitter Bridge

"Here, borrow it and let me see it."

Then the gray-haired old man finally squeezed through the dense crowd from behind with a lot of effort and squeezed to the front of the crowd of onlookers.

Most of the people watching here now are low-status auxiliary soldiers in the military camp and civilian husbands.

After all, they were located in the middle and rear of the military camp, and no commander would let these civilians with no fighting ability be placed in front of the formation.

Otherwise, once a war breaks out, these civilians will not resist to the death, but will flee in all directions, and will instead attack the battle formations at the rear.

Therefore, in the military camp, there are combat soldiers and auxiliary soldiers in the front, and the combat soldiers take the lead and set an example for the auxiliary soldiers.

As the core of the entire army, the Chinese military camp is located in the middle, with the most elite troops guarding it. At the end is where the logistics supplies and civilians live.

Old Egg spent a lot of effort and finally squeezed to the front.

Then he saw a young man with silver-blond hair holding the reins from a distance for a middle-aged man with the same gray hair who was wearing a metal mask.

"This is His Highness Yin Meng."

The two people were walking and talking under the horse, and then walked towards the Central Military Camp.

And behind them were armies under various banners, including various families in the Stormlands, as well as the First Legion of the Empire.

"And that person"

Then Old Egg saw a middle-aged man who was younger than him, about fifty years old.

He was wearing a metal mask with a seven-pointed star in the middle, and he had a calm aura around him. He was wearing pure-colored robes and had quiet eyes under the mask.

"It's the general!"

When Old Egg saw Bessie, she was slightly excited, and her fingers were even trembling.

He was originally a mercenary, and then he accepted a special mission in King's Landing, kidnapped a prisoner on the street, and then sent him to a ship bound for Braavos. However, this mission failed and he experienced

After a fierce fight and then running away, they were all wanted.

However, wanted arrests have long been commonplace for mercenaries, but he did not expect that this prisoner was extremely important.

Although the mission failed, the prisoner disappeared, so the golden robes all over the city looked for them everywhere like crazy.

At that time, old Egg was forced into desperation, so he came up with a plan. He saw the Golden Company recruiting soldiers on the streets of King's Landing at that time, and then signed up to join them.

As the occupiers of King's Landing at that time, the Golden Company was naturally exempted from being raided, and Old Egger escaped the disaster, but as a result, he did a job he had never thought of before and became a big-time soldier.

However, it was easy to join the Golden Group, but it was not that easy to leave. Moreover, it was very popular at that time, and the treatment was good, so he decided to stay.

Soon after, many years later, the long night suddenly fell, and he was transferred into the expeditionary force and sent to fight on the continent of Essos.

He tried to escape several times, but failed.

Apart from the palace, the safest place in the long night is the army. After all, there has never been any problem with the army's food rations. At least they can have enough to eat.

Then there is the well-known story of the village where he wandered later.

He had made meritorious service but was rejected by his superior, Tan Mo. He originally wanted to chop off the other person's head, but then he thought about it and thought that he was old and no longer wanted to live a life of escape.

Therefore, the ferocious mercenaries who were once like "hungry wolves" had no sense of morality, killing people, setting fires, kidnappings, etc., but they did not expect that in the end they would be ridden on top of their heads and still swallow their anger.

He took a large amount of compensation and left, then wandered to a small village to settle down, changing his name to "Eige".

However, although old Iger recognized the former general, he did not rush forward to establish a relationship.

After all, how could a big shot like the other party always remember a soldier of humble origin like himself?

Just like a battle recorded in history books, the perspective is the game between commanders.

No one would notice such an ordinary but extraordinary old man like him.

He was once given credit for his achievements, but he knew that this had nothing to do with Bessie. It was the work of a captain of the Golden Company, and the two were not part of the same system.

But if Lord Bessie really still remembers herself

Then Old Egg couldn't help but feel a little in his heart. No matter how he said it at the beginning, he was the one who indirectly saved the other party's life.

If you can find him and talk to him to complain, you might be able to get back all the things you lost.

Old Egger has been silent for so many years, but he still has not forgotten his original dream, to change his destiny, have his own castle, and become a noble master.

However, although his heart was moved, he still did not act rashly, and his mind became active again, thinking about countermeasures.

He watched His Highness Yin Meng and Lord Bessie walk away. In front of him, groups of soldiers from the Stormland and the First Army passed by.

A few days later.

However, when Old Egg was still looking for an opportunity to get close to the former general, their enemy finally arrived.

The army led by Prince Oberyn of Dorne himself appeared in a mighty manner east of the Mander River, while the army commanded by Bessie was waiting in a tight formation west of the Mander River. Between the two sides was the Bitter Bridge.

The two parties had a brief meeting on the first day.

No one acted rashly, but the atmosphere naturally became tense, making it even more difficult for Old Egg to meet the commander-in-chief.

The two armies faced each other for several days.

Old Ige in the civilian camp was still wondering why the enemy didn't have a giant dragon, so His Highness the Second Prince didn't take the opportunity to send out a giant dragon to destroy the opponent.

One early morning, the roar of a giant dragon suddenly came from the sky.

It turned out that the giant dragon belonging to the eldest prince Heros on the enemy side was also there, but he didn't show much of his head.

Of course, the lower-level soldiers on both sides had no chance to know, but in fact before the battle began, the brothers Yin Meng and Heros met.

The two sides agreed that no matter how far the fight went, they would never use dragons to participate in the war.

This is the bottom line of this war, to prevent the Dance of the Blood Dragon from happening again.

This is actually a gentleman's agreement without any written document, let alone announced to the outside world. It all depends on the consciousness and credibility of two people.

Because both of them understood that the dragon should not get involved in the war, as that would escalate the war.

Because once the giant dragons join the war, they will most likely be unable to control themselves and turn into a true brother-in-law fight, and they will become red-eyed.

This may be something the two brothers rarely agree on.

Then the Battle of Bitterbridge finally broke out.

The two famous generals of the empire faced off on the battlefield. Oberyn personally commanded the imperial army to launch an attack on the Bitter Bridge. The second prince's side was at a disadvantage, and Bessie commanded the army to defend.

Although Bessie's command was flawless, after all, it had struggled to hold on for a month under the attack of the White Walkers.

Orders were issued one after another like a stream of water.

However, when the giant prince Attis appeared on the battlefield, people could not help but feel intimidated.

The giant, who was over four meters tall, was definitely a master at attacking fortresses. He was invincible and directly tore apart the coalition forces of the Riverlands and Stormlands.

As a result, the balance of war began to tilt.
