Because as a traditional nomadic people, they mainly rely on plundering for a living, the Dothraki people are not very civilized and do not have corresponding smelting technology.
The Dothraki only have light cavalry, equipped with arakh scimitars and short bows suitable for mounted archery. They do not wear any protective gear including shields, helmets and armor, and regard warriors who wear armor as cowards.
therefore...
Puff puff--
The black rain of arrows fell head-on, creating a bloody storm in an instant. People screamed and horses neighed. Countless Dothraki warriors charging at the front were hit by arrows and even fell off their horses. Some horses were hit by arrows and fell to the ground.
The momentum of the Dothraki's high-speed charge was obviously curbed. However, the Dothraki who were pouring in from behind did not stop at all, and they did not care about their fallen companions, and directly blindfolded the war horses.
Continue to urge the horse forward.
The Dothraki further behind took off the short bows on their backs while charging on horseback, opened their bows and nocked arrows, and also used a projectile method to bypass the shield formation at the front and launch the Andalus bows and arrows hidden behind the shield formation.
Hands.
Bang bang bang——
However, the Dothraki were undisciplined and chaotic. They obviously did not know how to fire volleys, and it was extremely difficult to shoot from horseback. Scattered arrows flew over and some fell into the shield array, causing
Some of Andalus' archers were killed or wounded.
This is how the Dothraki fight. When faced with long-range attacks, they must rush over as quickly as possible. The pain they endure will be doubled when the two sides fight in close combat.
"Ho ho ho!"
After being injured and seeing blood, these Dothraki not only did not feel fear, but were like bloodthirsty beasts, which further aroused the madness in their blood. They shook the scimitars in their hands and howled more excitedly.
cry.
Rumble——
The horses' hooves trampled on the muddy ground, and they continued to charge forward without fear of death.
Some of the companions who were struck by arrows and fell from their horses were pulled onto their horses by the tribesmen at the rear, while more were directly trampled into flesh by the chaotic horses' hooves, and their blood and flesh were forever integrated with the earth.
"These Dothraki—"
Viserys took a deep breath when he saw this scene while sitting on horseback. He had to admit that these Dothraki were really brave and not afraid of death.
He was a little worried about whether the Andalus army, which had experienced such a big test for the first time, could withstand such a strong impact.
For this sudden encounter, neither side had any plans to prepare. It was only a test of the fighting qualities of the soldiers on both sides. The Dothraki attacked, while the Andalos relied on the rubble of the ruined city to defend.
"I hope so."
Click——
The five fingers of the little king wearing steel gloves clenched slightly.
The war horse under his crotch played the whistle restlessly and beat its hooves twice. It seemed that he was dissatisfied with the owner who just stood here and commanded and did not finish the battle himself.
But...it's not just that he didn't end up personally.
Viserys' eyes were also searching for something among the Dothraki, but there was no trace of that Khal.
"snort--"
"cunning."
The little king narrowed his eyes.
It is rumored that the Dothraki will always charge forward when fighting. However, if the Dothraki's fighting style is really followed, and the Khao always rushes to the front, I am afraid it will really become a disposable item that needs to be replaced frequently.
.
...
Then, the khalasar finally collided head-on with the iron barrel formation formed by Andalus' army.
The Dothraki, who spread across the land like a vast ocean, were forced to shrink their formation after entering this ruined city-state, and poured into the avenues. The formation was forced to be divided into several groups.
The Dothraki who rushed at the front blindfolded their horses to give them the courage to face the sharp spears.
The next second.
The entire battlefield seemed to have stopped for a second before the collision, and then there was a huge sound like a landslide and the earth was cracking.
boom--
The high-speed galloping war horses carried powerful impact, and directly tore several wounds out of the seemingly impregnable iron barrel formation of the Andalus army.
At the same time, the chaotic and noisy sounds of people shouting and neighing filled people's eardrums, their eyes were stained red with dripping blood, and everyone's adrenaline began to surge.
"kill!"
While the Dothraki used their flesh and blood bodies to knock open the iron barrel array, they supported the sharp spears on the ground and clawed open the belly of these horses without any hindrance, and the intestines in their stomachs flowed all over the ground.
The Dothraki warriors who fell under their horses were either trampled mercilessly by the iron hooves that followed, or were stabbed into a sieve by the spears of the Andalus soldiers from the following rows who swarmed up.
"Kill them!"
puff--
An Andalusian soldier stabs a Dothraki warrior in the chest with a spear.
The other party's upper body was naked, his bronze skin was dripping with blood, his long black hair was messy and spread out, and he let out a rough roar that was incomprehensible.
At the same time, he was holding a scimitar, trying to penetrate his own body with a spear, and also chop the opponent to death.
The battle-hardened Andalus soldier gritted his teeth slightly, released the spear in his hand, pulled out the short sword from his waist, and then chopped off the opponent's head with one sword.
The soldiers' equipment in Andalos is actually not that sophisticated. They are not as wealthy as the River Bend, so some ordinary soldiers are also equipped with plate armor. Most of the ordinary soldiers in Andalos are equipped with light armor, and they are covered with armor in winter.
Wear the hide to keep warm, and take it off when the weather gets hot.
In terms of weapons, daggers are standard equipment. Every soldier, including archers and spearmen, has a dagger at their waist. There is also a dedicated sword and shield hand who holds a shield in one hand and a sword in the front of the array.
Because it is surrounded by mountains on three sides, Andalos does not lack wood, so it has a lot of resources to make spears and shields. This is why Andalos was once called the "City of Wood".
On the other side, the soldiers who were hiding behind the shield array and stabbing outwards with their spears were suddenly caught in the head by a rope falling from the sky.
"Roar--"
Later.
The man outside, riding on a black long-haired war horse, had deep eyes, and then he pulled hard on his arm to bulge the muscles on his arm. He was caught off guard, coupled with the powerful force.
boom--
He actually pulled the Andalus soldier out of the shield formation, and instantly a wound opened in the solid shield formation.
"Khal Drogo!"
"Khal Drogo!"
Deafening cheers came from the Dothraki, and then surged up along the gap that Khal Drogo had torn open for them.
The solid iron barrel formation became somewhat precarious.
…
And at this time.
"His Majesty."
Tap tap tap…
A soldier on a fast horse climbed to the high hill where Viserys was. However, he was about to say something but was stopped by Viserys.
