A group of heavily armed soldiers of the King's Army were assembled far away from Prince's Pass.
In front of them was the towering and steep Crimson Red Mountains. Although the western section of the Crimson Red Mountains was not as steep and steep as the eastern section of the Bone Road, it was also very difficult to walk. If you were not careful, you would be buried in the cliffs.
And the biggest difficulty in climbing over the Crimson Mountains is not this, but the bare mountain ridge with no obstacles at all.
The soldiers of the Fowler family in Tianji City could see the enemies trying to cross the Crimson Mountains at a glance from a long distance away. Many Dornish people who wanted to cross the Crimson Mountains and escape to the Reach were caught or killed because of this.
The Fowler family only needs a few teams of highly mobile desert cavalry and beacon towers along the way to guard this stretch of mountains.
Therefore, not to mention the harsh geographical environment and extremely poor climate environment of the Red Mountains, it is impossible to support a large-scale army march.
And even if a large group of enemy troops crosses the Crimson Mountains, it would be impossible to make a detour and sneak attack on Prince's Pass.
There are no obstacles on the bare mountains, and the overall situation is unobstructed. The Fowler family's reconnaissance cavalry will always be the first to discover the enemy's traces, and then report it to the pass in front, so that they can prepare to deal with the enemy from the rear.
The Prince's Pass level is not only able to deal with enemies in front of you, but it is also a two-way pass. It can also withstand enemies from behind.
This is the reason why Prince's Pass rarely fell in history.
Now, the commander of the king's army, King's Hand Jon Clinton, has selected a team of fifty top players from the army.
Equipped with the most sophisticated weapons and equipment, they set out from the royal army's camp, crossed the Crimson Mountains under the guidance of local guides, and then took advantage of the darkness to attack the Prince's Pass from behind.
In the end, a global fire was ignited that could be seen throughout Dorne. On the other side, the main force of the king's division would cooperate with the warriors' attack and launch a fierce attack on the north gate of Dorne from the front, striving to win the victory in one fell swoop.
Zhongxiongguan.
This is exactly the idea that Jon Clinton proposed yesterday and is now being implemented.
"My lords, the road we have chosen is the steepest and most dangerous, and it is a road that is almost impossible to pass!"
"But the corresponding Fowler family sentries pay the least attention to this section of the road. They put most of their attention on the main road into the mountain and set up watchtowers on the ridge."
"The probability of entering the mountain from there without being discovered is almost zero."
The guide of the king's army was Karen, a young man from a village near Tianji City who had escaped from the Fowler family not long ago.
It was when Sir Owen Fowler, the only male member of the Fowler family, led his troops to pursue Cullen and his party that he clashed with the Ashford Knights.
Then Owen Fowler died on the road, which aroused the strong dissatisfaction of "Old Falcon" Franklin Fowler, who led his troops to launch a fierce revenge against the Cenfold family, which ultimately triggered the rise of the royal family of the River Bend.
The war with Dorne.
However, Karen, who had a narrow escape from the iron hooves of the Dornish cavalry, now became the guide for the king's army because of his excellent guiding ability and his familiarity with the roads into the mountains.
Karen has grown up near the Crimson Mountains, hunting with his father. Karen is the most talented hunter in the entire village, but now this talented young hunter has become the guide of the king's army. This time
plays a very important role in the operation.
"Are you Dornish, boy?"
And among the fifty good men selected by Jon Connington, there are many private armies of the nobles of the Riverlands.
People are selfish. When nobles from all over the country handed over their military power, they handed over the old, weak, sick, disabled and ordinary soldiers, while the most elite soldiers stayed on their own. Although not many people could be retained, at least
It has a psychological comforting effect.
Now the knight with short dark hair and a sinewy face who suddenly spoke was wearing the coat of arms of a certain Riverland noble. He looked at his guide Karen up and down, and then he questioned.
Although the stone men in Dorne are the descendants of the Andals and the First Men, there is no obvious difference in appearance from the people of the Reach. They have brown blond hair and fair skin, but there are some facial features.
You can still hear some differences in the details and accents.
The knight from the Reach realized that this seemingly young guide was a Dornishman, and then he questioned him.
"what happened?"
"How can a Dornish bastard be the guide for this operation? Hmm?"
The knight from the Reach suddenly spoke, attracting the attention of the other forty-nine knights and soldiers present. They all lowered their heads and arranged their equipment. Then, after hearing his words, they raised their heads and looked at Karen.
"The choice of guide is personally decided by Lord Jon Connington, Hand of the King. Olifa, do you want to question the order of the Prime Minister?"
On the other side, a knight from the Reach who was wiping his sword glanced at the knight from the Oakheart family and said in a calm voice.
"snort"
"Of course I will not question the Prime Minister's order."
The knight with a sinister face snorted coldly, but did not jump into the verbal trap laid by the other party.
The Oakheart family is already having a difficult time. If the news of questioning Lord Jon Clinton spreads, even though the other party may laugh it off, if it is true, the Oakheart family cannot bear it.
The other person wears small shoes.
However, he was still worried about the guide's Dornish identity, and many soldiers and knights from the Reach were also suspicious.
"I'm afraid this little bastard from Dorne is going to lead us directly into Old Falcon's trap, and then catch us all in one fell swoop."
However, as the target of suspicion and accusation by everyone, Karen, the young guide on this mission, remained silent throughout the entire process.
He did not have any rebuttal or excuse. His identity as a Dornishman did not make him feel ashamed. Then when everyone had finished speaking and their eyes focused on him, the brown-haired boy spoke in a hoarse voice.
"I am a Dornishman."
"But my father, mother and younger brother all died at the hands of the Fowler family."
Young Karen's words were concise and concise, causing all the knights and soldiers of the Riverbend present to fall silent, including the knight of the Oakheart family who initially questioned him.
His father was the best hunter in the village, but he did not die on the way to escape, but one month before that incident, because he shot and killed the prey that Master Owen Fowler had chosen in the mountains, and then
In the process of selling animal skins, he was found to have evaded taxes and was eventually beaten to death.
