Facing the menacing Dothraki, the soldiers on the front line were all the elites of the legion. However, at this time, even they felt nervous, their breathing became rapid, and they clenched the weapons in their hands.
Surrounded by countless soldiers, the legion commander, who was like a star holding the moon, still commanded calmly.
"Calm down!"
"The Seven Gods will bless us."
"Warriors give us courage and strength."
His words made many panicked soldiers feel much calmer. Although faith is invisible, it also has great power in war and can make soldiers facing desperate situations burst out with their last courage.
"Archers prepare!"
Then Bessie raised her hand, the steel-glove palm reflecting the metallic light in the early morning sun.
"Open your bow!"
"Open your bow!"
The captain and general of the legion galloped behind on their war horses, shouting loudly.
In Targaryen's legion, there are two hundred men per team, and every five teams is one thousand-man general. There are more grassroots commanders below. The command system is complete and the commander's orders are conveyed very quickly.
In front is a strong formation with contradictory cards, while in the rear is a dense array of archers.
With their backs against the city wall, they had no way out, but there was also no danger. They didn't have to worry about the Dothraki coming around from the side and sneaking up on the rear.
Therefore, the Targaryen army still occupied a favorable terrain, and the castle was located at a slightly higher position on the battlefield.
squeak
After hearing the order, all the archers unfurled their bows and nocked arrows. They drew their bowstrings and made a tooth-breaking sound, and aimed diagonally at the sky ahead.
Then a few more seconds passed.
Rumble
The vanguard of the galloping Dothraki had already entered the range of the Targaryen army's bows and arrows, and then an order was given.
"put!"
"Fire the arrow!"
"Fire the arrow!"
Bang bang bang
The bowstring made a sound, and a black rain of arrows flew straight into the sky, and then fell from the highest position.
It was like a heavy rain falling, but the raindrops were all sharp metal arrows, hitting the Dothraki's face head-on.
Puff puff
There was a sound of dense metal piercing flesh, and soon the rain of arrows fell, causing a shower of blood among the Dothraki.
Countless Dothraki who were riding on horseback and swinging scimitars were hit by arrows and fell from their horses. Their bodies fell to the ground, and then were trampled into a pulp by the horses behind them, and their flesh and blood flew everywhere in an instant.
“ohhhh!!!”
However, what is disappointing is that the Dothraki face such casualties without changing their expressions.
Instead, the stimulation of blood inspired their ferocity, and they rushed over even more fearlessly.
"Stay in formation!"
"Boys!"
"Stay in formation!"
Mir held the reins in his hands tightly and commanded loudly.
The strikes from the bows and arrows did not stop the Dothraki from advancing, but the test for his soldiers was about to begin.
As the general of the legion, he has more than a thousand soldiers under his command, but he was not picked as a general because his friend was the commander of the legion. Mir also participated in the great battle on the land beneath his feet.
He was still a captain at that time, and he made great contributions by leading his brothers in setting up fortifications. In addition to several subsequent wars, he made several more contributions in logistics supply scheduling and battle command, and finally became a captain.
General.
“ohhh!!!”
However, the Dothraki's charge did not stop at all. After two rounds of volleys, they arrived in front of the Targaryen Legion's military formation in the blink of an eye.
All the soldiers subconsciously clenched the spears in their hands, and the soldiers hiding behind the shields also tightened their muscles in an effort to resist the coming impact.
boom
The next second.
The Dothraki's war horses directly collided with the Targaryen army's spear array. In an instant, the indestructible spear array began to shake and endured tremendous pressure.
On the Dothraki side, people were also on their backs, their horses neighed in pain, and the soldiers who were knocked down also screamed.
"kill!"
Countless soldiers holding spears hid behind their shields, holding their weapons tightly and thrusting out. They almost didn't need to use their eyes to see, they just inserted it in and pulled it out, and then inserted it in and pulled it out again.
Blood splashed in through the gaps in the shield, and everyone's eyes turned red.
"kill!"
"Kill all these bastards!"
However, not all places in the military formation withstood the first wave of impact.
The heavy body of the charging horse collided directly with the spear array with a strong impact, and some weak spots were instantly opened.
With the flaws, the power of the spear array dropped by more than one level. In an instant, countless Dothraki rushed in frantically towards the several places with flaws.
Puff puff
The shield array was breached, the soldiers staggered here and there, and the Dothraki's scimitars ruthlessly harvested their lives.
"not good!"
As a general, Mir gritted his teeth slightly when he saw this scene, and then pulled out the long sword from his waist.
"Hold it!"
"Stay in formation!"
Then he slapped his horse and rushed forward, wanting to go into battle himself to stabilize the formation.
But not far away.
Sitting on a pure white war horse without a single hair, the commander of the legion, Bessie Joyce, tightened the reins, and her eyes under the mask were calmly looking at the chaotic battlefield in front of her.
The vulnerability is not just one.
The Dothraki were not afraid of death and used their lives to carve a bloody path in the military formation. The Targaryen's indestructible front had begun to show some signs of collapse.
But this is not his fault, there are not many armies that can withstand the Dothraki attack in the wild.
Although the army he leads has firm beliefs, it is not an army like the Unsullied who will not hesitate to commit suicide.
If he had been given a few more years, he might have been able to bring out such an army with firm faith.
But it is useless to say that now.
Bessie raised her head and looked at the sky. The morning sky was cloudless, with only a few birds flying overhead.
"The time has not come yet."
Then he withdrew his gaze and continued to look at the battlefield not far away, while the personal guard beside him was slightly nervous.
"Commander-in-Chief!"
"It's too dangerous here, please retreat to the castle!"
Although the situation on the front line is currently anxious, they were not defeated immediately, which shows that the soldiers of the legion are already elite enough.
However, the legion was unable to continue, and the Dothraki were still coming in a steady stream. After all, the opponent's numbers were more advantageous.
However, Bessie ignored the words of the bodyguard beside him and pondered again before playing a card.
"Let the cavalry advance and flank the battlefield."
Now the Dothraki are pouring in to attack the array head-on. Because of the trenches and city walls on both sides, they have no way to go around and attack the two sides of the array, or charge from behind.
If that were possible, I'm afraid these Targaryen armies would collapse faster, and they would have to form a circular formation to deal with it.
This is the inherent advantage of cavalry over infantry.
But now the Targaryen army has its back against the city wall, almost replicating the conditions at the Battle of the Three Thousand Warriors of Qohor.
But the only difference is that the Targaryen army is not the indestructible Unsullied.
