Aemon Targaryen's army pursued Oberyn's army all the way to the vicinity of King's Landing.
This is a very dangerous behavior. After all, the front is the capital of the empire and the enemy's base camp. Although the army in the Riverlands is entangled by the Western Army and cannot retreat smoothly and cannot be rescued, the capital garrison in King's Landing is also a huge force.
the power of.
If Horos Targaryen dispatched all the soldiers of the capital garrison in a desperate attempt, then Aemon's army, which was waiting for work to take the initiative to attack, would most likely suffer a heavy blow.
That would be a replica of Oberyn's Waterloo defeat in Highgarden.
After all, Oberyn's previous attack on the Reach was also overwhelming, and he pushed all the way to the gates of Highgarden without encountering any qualified resistance.
Then they encountered a head-on attack from the defenders. If Oberyn hadn't issued an ironclad order to abandon all urgent marches and retreat, there might have been a danger of the entire army being annihilated.
However, now another famous imperial general, Bessie Joyce, who has always been calm in his military operations, has become "eager for quick success" and clings to his old friend's back and refuses to let go.
And perhaps it is precisely because the two are old friends and know each other very well that they must kill each other at all costs at this time.
Rose Avenue.
This is a deserted coast in Blackwater Bay, where the roaring sea breeze blows the hair and flutters in the wind.
"Are you really okay, teacher?"
"We have chased us not far from King's Landing. If the eldest brother is desperate,"
The young man with long silver-blond hair sat on horseback and looked at the enemy troops in the distance who had been chased to the end. Then he withdrew his gaze and spoke with a slightly worried voice.
"This is our only chance, Your Highness."
"Only by destroying this army can we barely even the gap with His Highness Heros."
The bloodshot eyes of the general wearing a metal mask can also be seen through the holes in the mask.
The commanders-in-chief of both sides of this battle have tried their best to play the game. There are few cases in history where defeat is turned into victory. This is why every battle becomes a classic.
Bessie's bold and dangerous maneuvers in this battle were because there was a huge gap in strength between the side of the second prince Aemon that he supported and His Highness Herros.
To close this huge gap, he had to adopt some extremely risky methods.
Because risks and returns coexist, if you want to obtain huge returns, you need to take huge risks.
This seaside avenue is the next battlefield.
Aemon's army caught up from behind, but the army led by Oberyn in front had naturally discovered it long ago.
With no choice, Oberyn ordered to form a formation on the plain by the sea, preparing to face his enemies.
Now that the enemy is chasing them, they can no longer give orders to escape. If the morale of the army fluctuates, it is very likely that they will collapse without a fight, or even risk the entire army being annihilated.
Because the army is a place made up of people, everyone has their own emotions, and when combined together they act as an amplifier, which can easily spread quickly and eventually lead to collapse.
This is also why it is very dangerous when a camp roar occurs. Losing control of emotions spreads quickly, eventually leading to command failure.
Oberyn led the remaining defeated soldiers and went through all kinds of hardships to escape this far. However, when they arrived outside King's Landing, they were chased by the enemy and their entire army was annihilated. This was something he could not accept.
Therefore, Oberyn was forced to form a formation and prepare to face the enemy.
"Fight to the death!"
"Fight to the death!"
Sparse chants rang out from Oberyn's army.
He tried to inspire the soldiers around him and inspire them to have the courage to face death.
It's just that there are very few people who responded. Most of them have already become desperate and have no strength to respond.
Oberyn was exhausted from escaping all the way, but Aemon's army on the other side was actually not much better.
They also marched dozens of miles a day, risking their lives to catch up.
It's just that compared to Oberyn's remaining defeated generals who were short of food and clothing, they were well fed and clothed, but they were equally tired and exhausted.
"Get ready to destroy them!"
Both armies have already arranged their formations. The tall and tall Iron-faced General sitting on horseback has drawn the long sword from his waist. The armor on his body reflects the dazzling light in the sunlight above his head.
He raised the long sword in his hand high and was about to order the entire army to attack and destroy these enemies.
However, at this critical moment, the sound of horns suddenly came from behind the formation of Oberyn's army.
Woo
On the battlefield where the war was about to break out, both sides were taken aback by the sudden change.
"what happened?"
Especially Oberyn's side. The old prince of Dorne was already exhausted and his brain was dizzy. He just relied on his last breath to hold himself up and not fall down.
The sudden sound of the horn from behind made him shiver.
He thought he had fallen into another trap, but the enemy came from both sides, and the final morale of the entire army was shaken.
However, when everyone turned their heads and looked to the rear, they discovered that a heavily armed army was coming towards them in a dusty and chaotic manner.
And the flag they held high was the flag of King's Landing's City Guard.
Most of this army is based on infantry and has very little cavalry. As King's Landing's capital garrison, their main duty is to maintain public order and they rarely use horses, so there is no cavalry.
They only had a few war horses and some pack horses, but they were all pulled out at this moment to fill up the numbers.
When he saw the banner of the Capital Guard, Oberyn's army, which was already on the verge of collapse and collapsed without a fight, was suddenly inspired.
The flame of survival rekindled in the hearts of the already desperate soldiers.
"Reinforcements are coming!"
"Reinforcements are coming!"
"Long live His Highness Heros!"
The enemy on the opposite side suddenly started cheering and shouted for reinforcements to come over.
"Damn it!"
"Shit!"
On the other side, the morale of the soldiers in Aemon Targaryen's army was slightly low.
After all, they finally caught up after the same effort and hardships, but the enemy's reinforcements arrived.
As the commander-in-chief of the entire army, Bessie and Eamonn were also shocked. They did not expect what they were most worried about to happen.
However, after Bessie carefully observed the supporting troops arriving from behind the enemy, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"This is not the entire capital garrison dispatched, this is only half of them."
