Game of Thrones: Royal Game

Chapter 204 Perfect Marketing Advertisement (First update in March)

"The conclusion that can be drawn from these two sets of information is." Ian continued, "Motekao's army basically has no arrows to use when facing the Unsullied. Why? Anyone who has used bows and arrows You know, it is easy to damage the arrow when shooting iron plates, let alone shooting the enchanted metal of the Kohor people?

The Dothraki, who were already short of arrows, damaged a large number of arrows in the process of fighting against the Quhor heavy cavalry. This is the key factor that they can only rely on charging to resolve the battle against the Unsullied. "

"Even if the Dothraki only rely on charging, the Unsullied can defeat 3000 Dothraki with 2 people, which is already an unprecedented victory!" Instructor Fermor said loudly.

Ian could feel that he was getting anxious.

"It's a victory, but it wasn't done by the Unsullied alone, let alone a field battle! We have come to the conclusion together that the defense of Kehor didn't happen the day before the city was broken, and there are still defenders in Kehor."

Who the hell came to a conclusion with you?Instructor Femor roared in his heart.

"Therefore, when the Unsullied arrived at Kehor, they did not rush to meet the enemy, but had time to prepare. They lined up against the city, and built a defensive position to solve the two most difficult problems when facing the cavalry charge-cavalry Kinetic energy on impact and outflanking of cavalry against infantry formations."

"Kinetic energy? What is that?" Fermor interrupted Ian suddenly, and then looked at Missandei, the little translator beside him, thinking that it was just a common language vocabulary that he had never heard of.

But the little black girl also shook her head helplessly at him, expressing that she had never heard of it either.

Therefore, when 'the Dothraki have almost no arrows left and cannot annihilate the Unsullied from a long distance', 'the Unsullied are arrayed against the city, the Dothraki cannot outflank', 'the Unsullied are prepared to reject horses, reduce After all the subjective and objective factors such as the impact speed of the cavalry' and 'the archers on the wall of Kohor provide support' were all ignored by you, this battle was forged into a legend, a military myth.

At the same time, there may be many longbowmen on the city wall of Quhor behind the Unsullied to provide fire support for the Unsullied, using arrow rain to consume the strength of the Dothraki.

Then she went on to introduce: "The Unsullied you see in front of you are all elites who have passed countless tests to obtain the pointed helmet. An average of 20 castrated boys can grow into an Unsullied.

The good lord Krazny’s face is also not good-looking. The little translator has just translated Ian’s words to him verbatim. Got it, and he knew it was true.

"In fact, I can also tell you that there are far fewer Unsullied who fail the test of killing babies than fail the test of dogs." Fermor continued,

For hundreds of years, although the price of goods in the entire Slave Bay has not changed much, the price of the Unsullied has been increasing. One silver coin can buy four to six healthy boys, and one Unsullied can sell it today. Offer a high price of 12 to 20 Golden Dragons (completely rely on on-site bargaining).

"Before he can win the spiked helmet, the Unsullied must take a silver coin to the slave market, find a crying newborn, and kill it in front of its mother's eyes. That way we can be sure he has nothing in his mind. Weakness." The little translator quickly explained.

Of course, the most important factor for the Unsullied to win is that the Dothraki have no brains.

Daenerys felt dizzy for a while, and she slid down the hand holding Ian's cuff, and simply squeezed Ian's hand tightly to gain strength.

Everyone knows that the cavalry's frontal attack on the pike phalanx is not good, but there are very few battles in which the pikemen were the main force to defeat the cavalry in the entire history of warfare (most of them use the foot to win the cavalry by relying on bows and crossbows). Why?
Even the most cerebral cavalry commander knows that that thing can't be charged head-on, it's a pity that the Dothraki are not among them.

This means that the Unsullied who lined up against the city had built sufficient fortifications on the flanks, forcing the Dothraki to give up the idea of ​​outflanking, and could only attack with the same width as the Unsullied army formation. The maximum number of troops that can be invested at one time is only 2000, and their numerical advantage has also been greatly offset.

However, before the little translator could speak, Ian spoke again: "Okay, let's continue introducing the Unsullied."

Therefore, although Fermor looked at Ian with vigilance, it was involuntarily revered.

Ian's words finally solved his doubts for many years. It turns out that the good lords of Astapor kept revising the original story version in order to raise the price of the Unsullied, so that 400 years later, they have already I deceived myself successfully.

Because of this, he himself has always been weird about the outcome of the Battle of Qohor. He has used the sand table to deduce the Battle of Qohor a hundred times, although he has exhausted all his life's knowledge to command the battle of the Unsullied , but the result of a hundred times is still a failure.

"Enough!" Daenerys interrupted Fermor, and then pulled Rain, pulling him to the other side of the high platform.

Now that Ian suddenly pointed out this matter, Krazny had to wonder if this guy came to find fault.

Ian would not have made today's judgment before getting to know these Unsullied people formally, because for the Unsullied people in the TV series, even with so many favorable conditions, I am afraid it may not be possible. A capable 2-strong Roaring Warrior.

"Then introduce it to him!" Krazny expressed his dissatisfaction in his heart. His servant had previously verified several large boxes of gold that Ian had full of financial resources.

"Killing babies?" Daenerys interrupted the little interpreter. She felt herself trembling and managed to feel better after grabbing Ian's sleeve with one hand. "Where are they going to kill babies?"

After listening to Ian's words, Instructor Fermor's face turned pale. As the trainer of the Unsullied, he naturally knows the fighting power of the Unsullied best.

Don't invite the flag of righteousness, don't hit the majestic formation.

So he poked the little interpreter with the tip of his whip: "Tell that Westeros savage, these guys have stood there for a day and a night, and as long as I don't order them to disband, they will stand until they die, even if the nine hundred and ninety-nine Unsullied Falling dead on the brick floor, the last one will still stand motionless until death comes. They are absolutely fearless and absolutely obedient! Tell him this!"

"It is the compensation to the master of the slaves. Unsullied people are not allowed to steal," Instructor Fermor said again, "You are too kind, you can't take back a country like this." He looked at Ian as he said, as if hoping that this A real general convinces his queen.

And the slave traders crowned the Unsullied with all the glory of the Battle of Quhor, just to greatly increase the value of the Unsullied, am I right? "

Those who can't run all day with full weight are already killed in the training process.And there are those who cannot climb a mountain in the dark of night, or walk over a field of burning coal, or kill a baby."

But when Ian saw this enhanced version of the infantry of the Alexander Guards, he finally figured out why the Battle of Kohor could be won.

"The first is the impact force. Even light cavalry weighs nearly half a ton with their horses and men. A few spears alone cannot absorb the force generated when they attack with strides. In this case, even Wugou If the attacker stabbed to death the Dothraki warrior rushing towards him, the opponent's corpse would also kill and injure some lucky ones when it fell into the square formation of the Unsullied, and the formation would be scattered, so that the Unsullied could not effectively fight. The defense was followed by the rear cavalry rushing into the phalanx through these gaps.

The second is outflanking. In your description of this battle, there is a detail saying that 'the Dothraki charged eighteen times'. What does this mean?Anyone who understands the military knows that no army has ever been able to disperse several times and then regroup. Therefore, the Dothraki attacked in batches like a wheel battle.

"On the day each boy is castrated, we give him a puppy, which he must keep until the end of the first year, and then strangle it with his own hands. Those who fail to do so are summarily executed and their flesh fed to the surviving dogs Eat. We found that was the most important lesson for them."

If a deal can be made today, then he will make the largest order in the history of Astapor, which is worth his patience.

"It's the power generated when cavalry charge." Ian didn't bother to explain, so he directly changed a word that the other party could understand.

Even if the Unsullied never backed down with absolute courage and discipline, 2000 Unsullied would not be able to replace more than [-] Sraki cavalry under such a charge. The horses may have dug ditches to absorb the force generated by the cavalry charge and greatly reduce the final impact speed of the opponent.

"Ask this damn Westeros savage, ask him if he wants to buy it?" Krazny felt that he had lost his patience.

So the little translator once again took over the task of introduction and translated the words of the slave trader to Ian.

"Why don't we buy it? We don't just buy these Unsullied, but also the babies and dogs they killed!" After making sure that the slave traders couldn't hear her, Daenerys pleaded said in a tone.

The little translator had to stop temporarily, and translated Ian's words to Krazny.

"They took the baby from its mother, killed it while she watched, and paid her a silver coin for her pain?"

Without the experience of being Calisi and being betrayed later, Daenerys at this moment is far less strong than when she arrived in Astapor in the original book.

At this time, her first thought was not to save these slaves, but to quickly escape from this dirty place of right and wrong.

But when she saw Ian's expression that didn't change, she realized...

"You already knew all this?" Daenerys exclaimed.
