Chapter 296 The Battle of Jisdaka

Chapter 296 The Battle of Jisdaka

The dense grass was ravaged to pieces, and there were piercing shouts, messy hooves, and metal crashes one after another.

Just after the armored cavalry of the Dothraki rushed into the front line of the Astapor slave iron army through the gap made by the cavalry in the front row, they began to slash left and right from the formation, attacking the spearmen on both sides, preparing to Widen the gap.

The ultra-long guns pointed forward by the spearmen could not be turned, so many spearmen in the back row had to throw away the spears in their hands, and drew out their short swords to try to engage these cavalry.

At the same time, those spearmen in the front row who were not hit in the previous round of charge were also shaken by the huge casualties of their companions and the appearance of enemies behind them.

The centurions shouted to stabilize the situation, but the Dothraki didn't give them such a chance at all. In less than a minute, the fourth wave of Dothraki attacks came to the front.

Different from the previous three times when hundreds of cavalry were divided into multiple small conical formations and targeted at points, this wave Ma Kecao (player) fully used [-] armored cavalry and [-] light cavalry. They were divided into four rows, bringing the entire front line of the right and middle armies of the Ghislian army into the strike range, in order to drive these stupid Ghis slave soldiers into the river at once.

As the Dothraki cavalry crashed into the formation, the already shaken front phalanx of the two iron slave legions instantly became fragmented.

The raised dust covered the entire battlefield, seemingly light but heavy, with different distances and distances, making people feel hazy and opaque.

Ian Falcon looked down at the entire battlefield, feeling a little sad in his heart.

In fact, Ian had already seen through that player Kayo's tactics when he arranged his cavalry in this way.

Therefore, at the beginning of the confrontation, every time a cavalry team lightly rushes into the enemy's position, and then moves at the first charge, no matter how many or small they are, they will drive straight in, even if the enemy is [-], they will not be able to support them.If you don't move, the front team will cross, and the second team will rush again, and if you can't enter again, the rear team will do the same.

This is a very widely used cavalry tactic recorded in the Black Tartar Story.

Although the specific operation of that player has been changed, he did break through the front line of Fermor Mo Nakroz's central army with the smallest loss, and made the most elite new Ghis on the left wing of Fermor Both sides of the Legion were exposed to danger, thus holding the key to victory.For this battle, that's the most important thing.

It's just a pity that Ian himself was not at the scene, and there was no suitable way to warn Fermor and these soldiers.

No, Ian immediately dismissed the idea.

What's the use of being here?

Fermor did not make a mistake, and the centurions he personally trained did not disappoint himself. Most of them were more or less aware of the opponent's intentions before the last moment, and warned the soldiers under them .

It's just a pity that because of the lack of actual combat experience and the soldiers' lack of absolute trust in these officers who had never really fought side by side, most of them believed their own judgments and did not take the warnings of the centurions to heart.

As a result, the front lines of the entire center and right armies were so easily broken through by the enemy.

Ian didn't expect them to be able to withstand the impact of this Karasa from the front, but in Ian's original idea, the opponent would at least need to use mounted cavalry as the vanguard to forcibly tear open the gap and then break through.

In that way, the casualties of the opponent's elite force should be at least two to three times that of the current ones, and if the opponent uses half or more of the cavalry to attack our center and right flank, they can be used to forcefully break through the new Ghis on the left flank There will be much fewer equipped cavalry available to elite legions.

The strength of the new Gistron Legion can buy more time for the firepower projection on the rear ships.

In Ian's eyes, Fermor's entire army deployed on the river bank was nothing more than a big bait. The whole purpose of their existence was to attract the enemy to attack, and to introduce the Dothraki cavalry into the long-range weapons of the fleet. In the attack range, and then exchange blood with the opponent.

Even if the battle is really defeated, as long as Ian can consume half of the opponent's elite, he can force him back to the Dothraki Sea to re-accumulate forces, thus gaining time to eat Khal Drogo safely.

As for his loss in this battle, the most elite New Gistron Legion is just an allied force, not really belonging to Ian.As for the two Astapor slave iron legions, although Ian devoted a lot of effort to the training of their officers, such a loss was far from a traumatic injury to Ian.

After all, after defeating Drogo, Ian will acquire a very large number of troops in the vast Lazar area, and there will be no strong enemies in a short time.

But now. Ian turned his attention to the left wing.

Thanks to the victories in the other two battlefields, Khal Mako was able to put all the armored cavalry into the attack on the new Gistiron army.

Moreover, because Femor's central army's front line has collapsed, the right angle of the new Gistiron Legion, which should have been covered by the central army, was also exposed to the enemy.
In order to protect the left side of the New Gistron Legion, Fermor deployed the fleet with the most ballistas in the fleet on the river at the left rear of the phalanx, and deployed the most elite crossbowmen in the fleet. on board.

If the enemy forcibly charged the New Ghis phalanx from the left according to Fermor's prediction, the long-range weapons on these ships would be able to cause a lot of damage to them-even after the Dothraki cavalry rushed into the phalanx, They can still shoot directly at the centaur cavalry in the back row without worrying about accidentally injuring friendly troops.

But the right side of the New Ghis phalanx. The firepower deployment on this side of the ship is much smaller than that on the left side, because there is no angle to shoot directly from here, and all weapons must be thrown from the heads of friendly troops. With these The accuracy of the weapons made by the Ghis is almost impossible to continue to cause accurate damage after the two armies are in full contact.

——Regarding this issue, Ian has already put on the agenda the comprehensive replacement of various weapons obtained directly from the three cities of Ghis, but as far as the current production capacity is concerned, it may not be done within a year or so.

In short, Mako Kao set the main attack direction of the armored cavalry at the oblique angle on the right side of the New Gistron Legion, and he began to form a huge cone formation in the central army pointing obliquely to the upper right corner of the new Gistron Legion formation. , The center and front row of the formation are a thousand armored cavalry, and behind them are a larger number of armored cavalry.

Although these Dothraki cavalry in the back row are wearing armor, they are different from the thousand armored cavalry in the front line wearing Kohor's heavy armor. Most of them are low-quality leather armor or antiques that have been handed down for decades or even centuries.

Of course, in any case, compared to those roaring warriors who were naked or only wearing painted vests, their defense capabilities were still qualitatively improved.

On the other side, on the right flank of Makokao, there are 500 ordinary armored cavalry as the forward, obliquely pointing to the 1500-man cone formation in the upper left corner of the New Ghis Legion.

Because of the temporary change of the main attack direction, it will take some time for Makokao's cavalry to be dispatched.But as long as they are ready, they will attack the two oblique corners of the New Ghis from two directions at the same time when Kao Mako gives an order.

Perhaps because of the forced march, the physical strength of their horses is only enough for these mounted cavalry to charge once, but as far as the current situation is concerned, one charge is enough.

Center Army/Right Wing Battlefield
"Kill those who charge! Kill those who charge!" Fermor's center and right-wing centurions ordered loudly to the soldiers, and at the same time angrily shouted at the defeated army who had escaped from the former, "Back to you! Get up! You cowards!"

Their reprimanding effect was zero. After the front line was dispersed by the enemy, these slave soldiers almost lost all their courage, and a large number of them began to flee towards the latter.

Of course, it is impossible for the rear to give way to them. This is the scene the Dothraki want to see the most, because if that is the case, the Dothraki only need to follow behind these defeated troops to successfully rush into the slaves. In the rear formation of the Iron Legion, they were scattered.

"Those who advance to the battle will be killed!" The centurions in the back line kept repeating this order, and those slave soldiers who had fled from the front line were served by the ultra-long spears in the hands of the back line comrades.Facing such a forest of guns that could not be broken through, the defeated troops in the front had to turn around and face the powerful Dothraki.

Thanks to Ian's imitation of the Swiss and Spaniards when he formed the Slave Legion and mixed the spears and halberds, the front line of the Slave Iron Legion still retained a certain output capability after being broken through.

Although their coach Fermor Mo Nakroz made a temporary adjustment before the battle and placed more halberds in the back, he still left two rows of halberds in the front row. Compared with the infantry who had to abandon their super long spears and switch to short swords because they were dragged into the melee, they obviously posed a greater threat to the Dothraki cavalry.

Similarly, those cavalry cavalry who directly penetrated the front formation of the Iron Slave Legion crashed into the fully formed rear formation one after another, causing countless casualties, but they were unable to break through it due to insufficient speed, so their commanders followed the traditional tactics. , ordered the cavalry to be pulled back, and prepared to charge again after pulling out enough acceleration distance to smash through the rear formation of these cowards.

Suddenly, a large number of crossbow bolts and ballistas poured down, and were projected into the chaotic front without distinction.Immediately afterwards, even some large stones were thrown into the formation, and countless Iron Legion slaves and the Dothraki cavalry who had already fallen into the formation were smashed into meatloaf.

It turned out that the ships and crossbowmen in the rear who had given up on shooting due to poor accuracy resumed their attack, and directly locked their targets on the area where the cavalry who had rushed into the formation were located, including the position of their own front formation. .

When Ian Falcon in the sky saw this scene, his heart sank.

Indiscriminately include the enemy and his own people in the attack range. From an economic point of view, Fermor's order is profitable anyway, because the fact that the lack of training in the front line of the Iron Slave Legion was disrupted has lost the ability to pose a threat to the enemy.Instead of waiting for them to be wiped out, it's better to use ranged weapons to eliminate as many Dothraki as possible while they hold them back.

But this would be a big blow to the morale of other soldiers on our side.

The New Ghisians were on the left wing, so they might not be able to fully notice the situation here, but the slave soldiers in the back line could see the situation in front of them clearly, and Ian was worried that they would be overwhelmed and collapse instantly.

Eh?Wait, what's up with these guys?Ian took a closer look, but found that the slave soldiers in the back row, instead of collapsing, cheered.

What ecstasy soup did Fermor pour them into?

"Stay in formation, lads, if we break up like them, those arrows will fall on our heads too. But as long as we hold our ground, the condition of direct promotion to second-class slaves promised by General Fermor belongs to us !” The centurions in the rear shouted to the soldiers in their ranks.

"Wowowo!" The slave soldiers responded with a loud battle cry, not knowing whether it was excitement or to cover up their fear.

"According to the rules of military merit, all Dothraki corpses that fell in front of our formation will be counted as our military merit! The front formation has collapsed! Those Dothraki who were wiped out by them also belong to us!"

The slave soldiers shouted again, this time obviously a lot more excited than before.

"Now! Hold your position! After this battle is over, you will all become first-class slaves! Resist the horse!" Following the orders of the centurions and the shouts of the slave soldiers.

The centaur cavalry who had already distanced themselves and charged again quickly broke through the fragmented front formation and slammed into the rear formation of the Iron Slave Legion.

But unlike what they had imagined, these slave soldiers in the back row would be shaken like the front row, and they would scatter in all directions in an instant. The acupuncture wall stood still under their impact. Loss.

The Dothraki cavalry had to retreat again, preparing to open the distance and charge again, but as they broke away from the rear formation of the Iron Slave Legion, the long-range weapons on the river once again aimed at them frantically, making them stay behind again. A lot of dead bodies.

Ma Kekao watched all this from a distance, and his heart was bleeding.

The cavalry light charge at the beginning and the psychological tactics of the third formal charge were formulated by Kao Mako himself, because the tactics themselves were not complicated, and the roaring warriors also successfully executed his tactics.

But when these centaur cavalry met the enemy, they were out of the control of Mako Khal. These roaring warriors were commanded by Kou who took the initiative to defect to Mako Khal.

When they found themselves breaking through the front line of the githnu soldiers but unable to break through the back line, the pride of being a Dothraki and their underdeveloped brain cells dominated them.

Like their compatriots under the city of Kehor hundreds of years ago, they braved the falling crossbow arrows to attack the rear of the slave army on the terrain where the corpses had piled up and seriously hindered their charge speed. One frantic shock after another.

Mako Khal sent out an unknown number of herald cavalry to bring them back in order to reorganize the attack.

But because the Kou who was in charge of commanding them had already died in battle, the messengers couldn't find anyone who could command these roaring warriors whose bodies were filled with only adrenaline.

Even under the influence of these roaring warriors who charged to the death, many officers who sent orders joined them and charged the phalanx of slave soldiers.

In Dothraki tradition, warriors who die bravely in battle will become stars and rise into the night sky, entering the kingdom of night to enjoy eternal glory.

They are not afraid of death, but they are afraid of the shame of not being able to defeat a group of slaves, afraid that they will not be able to ascend to the stars and enter the kingdom of night.

left wing battlefield
At the same time, the large cone-shaped formation assembled by the central army in Makokao was also ready. Under the order of Makokao, they launched a charge against the right angle of the new Gistiron army on Fermor's left flank. .

There were [-] cavalry in the entire cone formation, and they attacked in an overwhelming manner. Although they were hit by a round of blows after entering the range of the fleet ballista and crossbowmen, they were hit by another round when they rushed to the front of the New Ghis formation. The impact of a round of javelin rain fell a lot of cavalry and caused local chaos due to stampede.

But they quickly rushed to the 20 meters in front of the new Gist iron army formation. Here, the cavalry in the entire conical front row aimed their arrows at the oblique angle of the new Ghis formation with their horse bows, and then threw away their bows and arrows. He raised his lance.

Under the attack of hundreds of arrows in an instant, a large number of soldiers at the right corner of the New Ghis Legion fell down. In a blink of an eye, it has crashed into the formation through the gap created by the cavalry and shooting fire.

Equipped with Kehor's heavy armor and horse armor, they are almost invulnerable. Even though many spears pierced their bodies during the collision, they only caused very little damage to them.

On the contrary, those new Ghis soldiers who were stabbed by their lances were directly picked up and flew out, and then smashed into the depths of the phalanx, knocking down the soldiers behind them.

The cavalry in the middle of the cone formation drove straight in behind the armored cavalry in the front row. Although the veterans of New Ghis did not shake quickly, their entire phalanx was directly pierced, and the diagonal line from upper right to lower left was pierced. Cut in half.

The cavalry on the periphery of the cone formation did not choose to enter the formation directly because they did not get such a good gap in the middle. Instead, they crossed against the flanks of the formation, cutting off the infantry on the periphery of the phalanx like a milling cutter.

But in the other direction, the Dothraki cavalry who attacked from the upper left corner of the Ghis were not so lucky. They faced far more concentrated firepower than the friendly forces on the other side, a large number of ballistas and The crossbow arrows shot straight from the river,

There was even a giant crossbow fired from a ballista to complete a series of three cavalry of the Tsushima cavalry.This had a strong impact on the formation of the Dothraki.

As they approached the phalanx of New Ghis, they were hit by another round of javelin rain, and for a while, many people in the area were thrown off their feet.

So much so that when they rushed into the formation, they only broke through the front row of the New Ghis and were refused. The huge casualties even made it impossible for them to widen the distance and charge again.

However, the purpose of Makokao's deployment of this feint attack on this side has been achieved. Their charge has attracted more than one-third of the new Ghis army's forces, and the cavalry on the other side can strike the new Ghis formation at once. Wearing creates conditions.

After entering the phalanx of New Ghis, the Dothraki cavalry did not pass through their formation, but directly attacked it with the cavalry crossing from outside the formation.

It's not that they went up to the head like the centaur cavalry who attacked the central army, and wanted to use the arakh scimitar to solve the battle.These outfitted cavalry were the first to be recruited by Marko, and they were also direct descendants of Marko Khal. Compared with those Dothraki who were later incorporated, their obedience was much higher.

It's just because the horses under their crotch really can't complete a wave of charge after rushing out of the phalanx. Even if the horses are in a full state, the maximum attack distance is only about three kilometers when they are equipped with human harnesses. For these horses who have been running for many days, it is already the limit to complete a charge.

Fortunately, their offensive quickly took effect. Under the internal and external attacks of these iron-clad monsters, some of the New Ghis veterans who had been smashed into formation collapsed and fled one after another.

Under their influence, the entire New Ghis Legion seemed to be defeated, and they began to flee towards the river bank in all directions, trying to jump into the river and swim to their own fleet in order to survive.

As the New Ghis crumbled, the Dothraki resistance on the left of Fermor disappeared completely, and they began slaughtering the well-armed New Ghis veterans like wheat.

This scene fell into Fermor's eyes. He was actually very surprised. The slave soldiers who had only trained for less than half a year were able to stand firm until now, while the elite of the New Gistron Legion, who had experienced many battles, fell into a trap after only bearing one blow. collapsed.

But after he thought about it again, he felt that this was actually quite normal, because what the New Ghisians had suffered was the most ferocious blow from the enemy's elite main force.And the New Ghis themselves did not have the same strong motives in this war as these Astapon slaves.

At least Fermor's conditions for raising the rank of slaves have no appeal to these proud citizens.

Almost without hesitation, Fermor sent an order to his subordinates to let the fleet launch an indiscriminate attack on the positions of the New Ghis.

The formation collapsed, and it was only a matter of time before the New Ghisians were wiped out, so the fate of the slave iron army's front line just fell on the New Giths this time.

A large number of crossbows rained down, reaping the lives of the New Ghis and Dothraki at the same time.

After giving the last order, Femor led the guards on horseback and left the commanding slope. He had already seen the horseman cavalry rushing out of the broken New Ghis phalanx and coming towards his commander-in-chief. , staying here will only be caught by them.

Seeing Fermor leave the position, the fleet immediately sent several small boats to the shore, ready to meet the coach.

But to their surprise, Fermor did not go to the river, but raised his own flag with one hand, and galloped towards the position of the Iron Slave Legion that was still resisting.

The corpses of men and horses were piled up in front of their formation. Fermor couldn't find a gap to enter the formation, so he rolled over and crawled directly to the pile of corpses. His guards quickly followed suit after seeing this, chasing Follow his steps while blocking his back with your shield.

The Dothraki, who were looking for a gap to attack, soon discovered the situation here and the commander-in-chief in Fermor's hand, and a team of light cavalry rushed to a place not far from Fermor, braving the crossbow arrows falling from the sky. position, and shot a round of arrows at him.

The arrow hit Fermor's back armor, but did not cause any damage to him. The next moment, he was pulled up by two slave soldiers who came forward to meet him, and successfully jumped into the back of the pile of corpses.

"Put this on there," Fermor handed the flag to a guard who jumped in after him, and ordered, pointing to the wall of corpses, "tell everyone here, I'm here too! We'll be here together!" Earn the glory of this victory!" Or die here together.

Fermor didn't say the second half of the sentence, he wanted to be confident.

Soon, Fermor's guards climbed up the pile of corpses from the inside holding their shields, and planted the commander's flag on it.

Immediately afterwards, loud cheers and battle cries erupted from the formation of the Iron Slave Legion.

Dothrakis kept climbing up the wall of corpses, but they were all pushed back by the spearmen of the Iron Legion, and some weak corpse piles were washed away, but the centaur cavalry who rushed in were immediately attacked by a large number of halberd soldiers. The siege quickly added materials to the corpse wall.

Fermor's tactic of moving a large number of halberds from the front to the rear as a reserve team has achieved great results. In the melee after both sides were already scattered, the halberds not only caused damage to the Dothraki who were on the head Huge damage, even in the current desperate situation, still retains the power of a battle against the enemy's armored cavalry who has not suffered much loss.

At the same time, the fleet behind them is still constantly shooting. Crossbows are different from bows. An archer can shoot at most 20 to 30 arrows in one battle, and his physical strength will be exhausted. As long as crossbowmen have enough ammunition, they can shoot until night go.

The good news is that the transport ships accompanying the fleet are loaded with crossbow bolts, and they can literally shoot into the night.

The bad news is that that was most of what Ian had hoarded for the army to take on Khal Drogo.

If this is overcome, then Fermor can recover most of these arrows, and even the damaged ones can be repaired quickly.

But if you lose.
"Heh!" Fermor laughed, for this battle, he had put all his bets.

For him, if he lost, he must have died here.Then what happened after that has anything to do with him?

It didn't take long for Mako Khal's cavalry to wipe out the vacillating New Ghis, but the firepower projection on the shore continued, and they were taking losses every moment.

Just as they were about to follow the original plan and turn left immediately after defeating the New Ghis to double-team the flank of the slave army, they suddenly received an order from Mako Khal to retreat.

Unlike the centaur cavalry that Mako had only recruited in Kohor in charge of attacking the Astapor slave army, it was Mako Khal's headquarters that attacked the New Ghis. Although they were puzzled and dissatisfied, they did not Instead of disobedience, he immediately retreated and began to move away from the banks of the Skahazaban River.

It's just that because the horses with mounted cavalry were exhausted, they could no longer speed up to evacuate. Under the firepower of the Meereen fleet, their losses began to increase further.

At the same time, the Dothraki who were madly attacking the corpse wall finally couldn't bear such a huge loss, and began to flee backwards.It's not that they lost their courage at this moment, but that the roaring warriors who were truly fearless had already lost their lives, and the rest were often those with less courage.

Khal Mako watched all this from a distance, he felt dizzy, and almost fell off his horse.

At this point in the battle, it was already far from what he expected.

The news he got from his new skinchanger ally made it clear that what he was about to face was just two legions of enlisted slaves who had been training for less than half a year and an elite army of Neo Ghis.

Therefore, Markoda only focused on those new Ghis people from the beginning.

According to his prediction, those enlisted slave soldiers should have been driven directly into the river after their first round of charge was successful, and the new Ghis phalanx that had lost their protection on both sides would also fall apart under his pincer attack. .

According to Marko's estimate, his losses in this battle would not exceed 2000 at most to wipe out the mob, and the vast majority of the lost troops were those who later joined the horsemen.

But now, how many troops did he lose?half?or more?

Except for the relatively small loss of the elite headquarters used to attack the New Ghis, the cavalry used to attack the left angle of the New Ghis and the centaur cavalry who had already lost control of the central army were almost completely lost.

Makokao supported the horse's neck and looked to the left. There were [-] light cavalry there, which were the reserve troops left by him. adequate.

Relying on them, and the thousands of surviving cavalry that I pulled back from the position of New Ghis.

I just need to charge once more. One last time. I just need to. Khal Makor's hands tremble.

Can you really win?He asked himself, but dared not say the answer.

I have to do it, have to.win.

Every Dothraki cuts off his braid after defeat, and removes all the bells that represent the victories he has won.

Marko couldn't imagine what would happen to him after he cut off his braid.

A bald khal, no matter what he does in the future, it is impossible to gain the approval of other centaurs until he grows his braids again.And as a player, it is impossible for him to have the time to set aside his braids again.

I must. He looked at his direct line cavalry who were retreating, praying that they would be quicker and get out of the range of the Meereen fleet, while praying that the slaves hiding behind the wall of corpses would get on board and escape quickly.If that's the case, I don't need to make any more gambles, and I can declare myself the victory of this battle.

Even though it was a tragic victory, even though none of his strategic goals were achieved, at least he won, at least he would not be forced to cut off his braids by his subordinates.

Then when he returned to the sea grass, he would still have a chance to make a comeback.

Run away, slaves, everyone has been shocked by your performance, run back quickly.

"Makor Khal."

The shout of one of his own bloodriders woke up Khal Makor from his bewildered contemplation, and he looked back at the man: "What's wrong? Blood of my blood?"

"We stopped a few cowards who escaped from the front, what should we do with them?"

ha?escape?Marco laughed wildly.

Two hours ago, I had already issued countless orders to tell them to retreat. How good would it be if they were willing to withdraw at that time?Escape now?Are you not afraid of death?
"Khal, we have been deceived!" A Dothraki who was escorted by the bloodrider immediately knelt down and begged for mercy, "Those people are not recruited slaves at all! They are the legendary Unsullied! They must be Unsullied Only the Unsullied in the world can stand unshakable under our charge!"

The centaurs have never fought such a grievous battle before. They traversed the entire Essos. Which army did they encounter that would not collapse at the first touch?Except for the legend of the Battle of Qohor hundreds of years ago, the Dothraki have no record of defeat at all.

"The Unsullied?!" The moment he heard this term, Khal Mako woke up like a dream.

So it is!It turns out they are the Unsullied!No wonder they can withstand our charge this time, they are the Unsullied!Only the Unsullied can do this kind of thing!
If I had known that they had deployed a total of six thousand Unsullied here, how could I lead an army to chase them by force?Even in the full state, I may not choose to face the Unsullied in person, but leave them to Drogo to deal with!

That crafty Ian!He actually disguised the Unsullied as some conscripted slave soldiers to trick me into chasing him!

Yeah, I should have thought of that, that cunning fellow.

At the beginning, he ran to Pentos almost empty-handed. When he left, he took Daenerys, took Illyrio's dragon egg and wealth, and left a catastrophe for Pentos .

And in the end, he managed to make us all believe that this guy named Darren Grafson did all these bad things!

With such a person, why do we dare to plot against him, wanting to catch him off guard?

"Blood of my blood?" Seeing that Kao Ma Keao was silent, the blood alliance guard asked again.

"Before the battle." Marco said for a while. He originally said that he would run away before the battle and kill him.

But after killing them, what is the next thing you have to do?
Are you really going to charge the regrouped Unsullied on the river bank again?

Mako took a deep breath and looked at the cavalry who had withdrawn from the enemy's range.

These people are all elites of their own lineage, they only lost one-third, but their physical strength was very serious.Until this moment, his biggest family fortune is still there, but if he charges again, how many of these people will be able to come back, and whether they will be able to come back, is unknown.

Do you want to use the lives of so many people to protect your own braid?That's stupid.

But, but ...

"Khal Mako? What's wrong with you?" Another bloodrider noticed that Mako's state was really wrong, and asked.

"I" Marco opened his mouth with difficulty.

He wanted to withdraw, really wanted to, and Ian Falcon, who was observing the overall situation from the sky, could see Makokao's thoughts at a glance.

But at the same time, Ian was also very clear, but as a Dothraki khal, Marco couldn't give this order at all.

People who are trapped in a group will not be allowed to have their own personal will.

Such a story is recorded in Zi Zhi Tong Jian.

During the period of the Sixteen Kingdoms, Ran Min, the emperor of Ran Wei, besieged Xiang State and could not attack for a long time. Until March of the following year, Xiang State received reinforcements, and the two troops sent by Ran Min to block the reinforcements were all defeated.

The enemy's three armies gathered and sought a decisive battle with Ran Min. Under the advice of the deputy general Wang Tai, Ran Min wanted to avoid the edge, but the Taoist Farao said to him at this time, "Now the thief is here, and there is no way to avoid it." , why make soldiers almost? ', which made Ran Min change his mind.

In the end, Ran Min chose to go all out, bite the bullet and fight decisively, and suffered a crushing defeat.

So why did this sentence have such a big impact on Ran Min?
Because Farao's words are actually reminding Ran Min that he has been coerced by his own army.

What is the main composition of Ran Min's army?
"The class orders the internal and external Zhao people to behead a Hu head and send it to Fengyangmen. The civil servants will advance to the third class, and the military positions will worship the Yamen. '

These officers were all promoted by killing Hu Ling. No matter whether their original purpose was for revenge or promotion, they have already been killed here. Whether they want to continue killing at this time is already up to the commander. that's it.Even if you try to stop them from continuing at this time, they will kill you directly and choose a new leader.

Therefore, after Ran Min proclaimed himself emperor, he could only continue to attack northward. After killing all the Shi family members, he would kill all the Jie people. After killing all the Jie people, he would kill all the Hu people. Flash in the pan.

The Dothraki are actually very similar to this, they themselves are a group movement wrapped up in their culture and traditions.

Most of the time, there are only Kayo who died in battle, but no Kayo who was defeated and fled.

Because the khals know that once their courage is not enough to match the identity of khals, they will be killed by their own men immediately, and then replaced by new khals-this is often the case even if the Dothraki It is the reason why we must win in the face of very heavy casualties.

Sure enough, although Khal Mako wanted to try to withdraw his troops, he couldn't even convince his three bloodriders.

Under the unanimous opposition of the three bloodriders, Marco had to give up the idea of ​​retreating.

In the end, he ordered the reserve team to be mobilized to the front line, and then asked the cavalry team that had just withdrawn to replace some horses that were in better condition, and gave them a pre-order to rest for two hours before attacking again.

This is not a short period of time, Marco is still waiting.

From the perspective of time, the enemy should have completely completed the task of transferring the horses looted from Drogo's Kalasari to the south bank. In theory, the Unsullied in front had no reason to continue to stick.

So Marko expected that the enemy would be able to board the ship and escape during this rest period.

But he will undoubtedly be disappointed, because his opponent, like him, has bet everything on this battle.
