Dorne, the Southland, the Stormlands, the Vale and King's Landing are all undergoing changes, and are in a state of change that has not happened in thousands or even ten thousand years.
On the battlefield in the West, after leaving King's Landing, Oberyn personally led an army of 20,000 men and headed straight to the Cave City along the Golden Road, seemingly intending to openly break through the gate of the West.
Tywin Lannister, the Duke of Casterly Rock, immediately prepared for the battle after receiving the news. As if facing a powerful enemy, he intensively issued a series of orders to mobilize his troops. He even went to the battlefield himself to prepare to snipe the Dorne in the cave city.
Prince.
However, the wily Tywin did not expect that he would be tricked by a young junior. Because the Targaryen army attacked along the Golden Road, Tywin did not ask for help from the Reach.
In fact, the other side of the Reach has too much to worry about. The Dornish army has broken through the Borderlands and besieged Highgarden. The Hightowers are on the way to rescue. The Tyrells have not finished dealing with their own affairs, so they naturally have no time to worry about the West.
On the other hand, they didn't know the news either.
But it was at this time that the army led by Oberyn suddenly turned around and speeded up, and broke through directly towards Silver Mountain City when they were about to enter Deep Cave City.
Oberyn's army easily broke through this small castle belonging to the Sarriot family, leaving corpses strewn across the ground and smoke filling the air.
Yinshan City is also called Silver Hall. The area is located in a mountainous area on the edge of the Western Border and is rich in silver mines, hence its name.
Although they were prepared in advance, the Sarriot family, whose family motto is "invincible", still could not withstand Oberyn's attack. The castle was breached before they even had time to surrender.
After Oberyn captured Silver Mountain City, he also started killing people and venting his emotions wantonly. The wealth accumulated by the Sallot family was also plundered.
"kill!"
Following Oberyn's order, all members of the Sarriot family except the infants were executed, and their heads rolled to the ground.
This battle made Oberyn wait for ten years, and the hearty blood gave him a brief moment of sobriety.
Growing up, Oberyn had a very close relationship with his sister Elia. The two siblings were inseparable. Theirs was the most sincere family relationship, not the deformed relationship between Cersei and Jaime.
Because of this, after Elia was brutally murdered by the Lannister family, Oberyn almost went crazy. He vowed to pay with blood and avenge his sister.
In this battle, Oberyn would make the entire Western Territory stained with blood. His voice was deafening, causing countless Targaryen soldiers to cheer.
"Tell Tywin with their blood! It's not just the Lannisters who must pay their debts!"
"I will dye this land red with their blood! Take away their gold! Burn their castles!"
It was dusk that day.
Rumble
The banners of the sun-piercing golden spear and the three-headed fire dragon were fluttering, and the hoofbeats of thousands of galloping horses were even more roaring. The army marched, wrapped in dust that blocked the sky, and headed towards the west like a rolling torrent through the setting sun.
The Second Targaryen Legion defeated Silver Mountain City after arranging Tywin Lannister, but they did not stop at Silver Mountain City and continued to set off.
This is a race against time.
Oberyn's command style is flexible, agile and cunning. Now that he has successfully deceived Tywin, the scheming commander-in-chief of the Lannister family, he must seize the opportunity.
Oberyn must capture Crake Hall first and open the way to Lannisport before Tywin reacts and leads the army of the West to occupy Crake Hall, otherwise all his efforts will be wasted.
Therefore, after he led the Targaryen army to conquer Silver Mountain City, he massacred the city without leaving any harm, without any delay, speeding up the attack, using light troops and simple equipment, and rushed towards the next prey.
Corn City.
Corn City, like Silver Mountain City, is also located on the outskirts of the Western Mountains. It is a castle of the Swiffer family, a wealthy family knight loyal to Casterly Rock City.
Their family crest is a blue bantam on a yellow background, and their family motto is 'Awaken! Awaken!'
Because Corn City is not large, even smaller than Silver Mountain City, Oberyn did not lead the army to attack in person. Instead, he sent the Rhoynar Earl Evan Pass to lead a partial army to capture Corn City.
.
Oberyn himself personally led a large army south to the Red Lake, preparing to bypass this vast forest and rush towards the Crake Hall from the coastal road.
According to legend, this vast forest next to the Sunset Sea was once the area where the children of the forest lived. The ancestors once fought a protracted war with the children of the forest here.
Until the oath of Qianmian Island passed, the children of the forest occupied the forest, and the ancestors occupied the coast, plains, grasslands, mountains and swamps, ending the Dawn Era and beginning the Heroic Era.
According to the original plan of the Imperial Council, if Oberyn led the army to capture the Crake Hall, they could directly follow the coastal road to attack Lannisport, the largest city in the West, and Casterly Rock, the capital of the West, perfectly bypassing the complex terrain of the West.
and natural hazards.
This is the best offensive route to enter the Western Territory. If we insist on attacking Deep Cave City, Golden Teeth City and other places, I am afraid that all of Oberyn's 20,000 people will die and it will be difficult to defeat them.
But what Oberyn knew, Duke Tywin Lannister, the veteran commander of the Seven Kingdoms who was famous for his steady military use, was naturally aware of it.
After he received the news that Silver Mountain City had been breached, he instantly understood that he had been tricked by Oberyn.
The other party's true intention is to break through the Yangji Hall.
"Damn Dornish barbarians!"
"Someone is coming!"
Duke Tywin looked at this late message in the camp, couldn't help but raised his hand, grabbed a candlestick and smashed it on the ground, and then ordered the withdrawal with a livid face.
Regardless of the fact that it was midnight, he woke everyone up and set off overnight to rush to the west.
When masters compete with each other, they can understand each other's intentions in every move.
The current situation has become a race against time.
However, Lord Tywin was cautious this time, and he left a lot of soldiers behind before leaving Cave City.
Anyway, when fighting in the Western Territory, we have a great advantage in the number of soldiers. The goal is to fight with more and less to prevent Oberyn from killing another carbine.
However, although the straight-line distance from Shencao City to Yaji Hall is shorter, the roads surrounded by mountains in the west are complicated, making it actually more difficult to walk than outside.
"Hurry up!"
"Everyone! Hurry up!"
Lord Tywin personally went into battle to supervise the troops. He told all vassals and nobles that those who fell behind would die.
When the supervising team came on the scene and killed dozens of people in a row, the entire team's progress instantly became faster.
