Neither Viserys nor Oberyn is currently participating in the war personally.
And around them were gathered a hundred of the most elite knights in the Andalus army, all of whom were equipped with full-body plate armor armed to the teeth. Even the war horses were the strongest ones selected from the best.
Covered in chain mail.
Now these knights are sitting on the ground, not riding on their war horses. Their entourage is taking care of the hair of the war horses, and the horse armor has also been placed on the ground. This is to save the physical strength of the war horses to the greatest extent.
The idea of forming a heavy cavalry force in this way came from when Viserys was invited to attend the banquet of Pentos a year ago. At that time, the young king selected a hundred elite knights to follow him into the city of Pentos.
These one hundred people are the current team of one hundred heavy cavalry.
Viserys spent a lot of money to build them. Just the full-body plate armor and horse armor cost nearly twenty gold dragons per person.
This huge expenditure made Viserys, who had always been careful about budgeting, feel a little sad, but he still believed that the money was worth it and looked forward to their performance. Instead of arming more ordinary soldiers, it is better to build such an elite force.
, it may produce unexpected miraculous effects on the battlefield under certain specific conditions.
Now these heavy cavalry gathered around Viserys, waiting for the little king to give orders and prepare to join the battle at any time.
These heavy cavalry must seize the right opportunity to deal with the Dothraki, otherwise their heavy armor and slow movement speed will easily be in vain.
On the other side, when Oberyn was surprised by Viserys's astonishingly high evaluation of Khal Drogo, the battle situation in the distance once again changed.
It was also a weapon against cavalry. Viserys ordered his soldiers to cut down several trees overnight to make some resistance horses and placed them on the road into Ge Dohe.
If the trapping horse cave is the first line of defense, then these horse-defying horses lined up on the narrow road are the second line of defense.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch..."
However, the Dothraki in the front row let out an incomprehensible howl of excitement, then pulled out the lock sheath from nowhere, waved it directly, and accurately set it on the horse in the middle of the road.
Rumble——
Then, with the help of the power of the war horses, they directly dragged several of the rebel horses to the side and got out of the way of the central road, and the Dothraki rushed directly.
"Who is responsible for decorating the Juma here!"
Viserys frowned slightly when he saw this scene, a little angry.
"Didn't I say that I would bury Juma underground?"
The Juma was fixed in the ground, and it was not that easy for the Dothraki to break through the Juma formation with a lasso.
When the herald saw the little king getting angry, his face turned pale and the corners of his mouth moved but he still dared not say anything.
However, this kind of accountability matter was settled after the war. In today's ever-changing battlefield, Viserys naturally had no time to find out whose job was not done properly.
Unless he can acquit himself on the battlefield and perform meritorious service, such mistakes that affect the situation of the battle and lead to countless casualties of Andalus soldiers will inevitably be judged and sent to the gallows.
The Horse-Trapping Cave and the Horse-Rejecting Formation were successively breached by the Dothraki, and the Andalos army's defense line was once again in a precarious situation.
This is what is terrifying about the Dothraki. An army that is not afraid of death will inevitably be invincible on the battlefield.
On the first day of the encounter, the morale of the Dothraki was high, and the morale of the Andalus army was also very strong.
Andalos also occupied a geographical advantage. Relying on the abandoned city, it finally resisted the enemy's attack tenaciously. The Dothraki threw corpses on the ground and retreated.
However, the next day, the Andalos army experienced yesterday's brutal battle and suffered heavy casualties. Its morale had been significantly reduced, and its fear was rising steadily.
But the Dothraki experienced heavy casualties yesterday, and instead of being damaged today, their morale has become even higher, and they are even more fearless of death.
Such a strong contrast between one and the other was magnified on the battlefield, making the Andalos army's defense line even more precarious, and even began to be unable to withstand the pressure and retreat steadily.
Perhaps individuals cannot sense it on the battlefield, but are simply carried by the army. Each individual is just a tiny part of this vast ocean, and no matter how brave they are, they cannot change the situation of the battle.
However, Viserys could see clearly from atop a high hill while riding his horse.
"As the leader of the tribe, Kaa may charge forward, but he will certainly not be the first wave."
"I saw old people and women..."
Viserys was not a Dothraki, and he didn't know who would take command of the Dothraki after the Horse King personally joined the battle, or...even if there was no need for command.
Moreover, he seemed to see clearly older old men and women appearing among the Dothraki on the chaotic battlefield, and they seemed to be involved in the battle.
"It seems that Drogo is really angry, and his anger has swallowed up his reason."
Then the little king turned his head and asked the guard beside him.
"Are the kerosene and hay and firewood ready?"
Viserys would naturally bring some baggage with the army, and kerosene was obviously an important strategic material, but he didn't bring much, and a large amount of combustion aids might be enough.
Viserys' final plan to defeat Khal Drogo needed these things. War horses are afraid of fire, and people are also afraid of fire. People can control their fearful emotions, but war horses cannot.
However, the Dothraki walk on four legs, and where they run is not decided by humans but by their frightened horses.
"Your Majesty, you are ready."
The front line was struggling to withstand the pressure, and the soldiers in the rear had already used daggers and daggers to cut open barrels of kerosene.
It was thrown on the road in front of the formation, and was trampled to pieces by the chaotic horse hooves, and the fire oil flowed all over the ground.
"very good."
Viserys nodded slightly, looked at the retreating front not far away, and was about to issue an order.
But at this moment.
Amidst the chaos, the sound of horse hooves sounded again from the distance.
"His Majesty."
When the herald warned him, Viserys' eyes narrowed, and then he saw a large number of Dothraki leaving the team.
It was about to roar from the side of Andalus' army.
"Sure enough, it's here."
Viserys shook the reins and took a deep breath, but did not panic.
It turned out that the Dothraki adopted a simple tactic this time. They knew that hard bones were not easy to chew, so they wanted to attack from both sides and swallow all the Andalos in one bite.
