Game of Thrones: Winter Dragon Lord

Chapter 118 Drills
Noisy and sweat, flags flying.

Three thousand soldiers formed a huge square formation that was constantly changing.

In the center are infantry with spears and swords, and in front of the center are spear-throwers and archers.

The two wings scattered cavalry, each with five hundred.

As Cole waved the command flag, five trumpeters on the left and right began to blow the first horn, which was short and hasty.

Countless arrows and spears shot out, and the archers as auxiliary arms let out the arrows in their waists frantically, one after another, until another horn blew.

The horn sounded twice, and the archers quickly threw their equipment and retreated backward.

The shield soldiers gathered up the retreating archers, the huge square shields formed a shield wall, and a twelve-foot-long iron spear was propped up in the gap.

One holds a shield and the other holds a spear. Behind them are light and heavy infantry walking forward, waiting to charge at all times.

The horn sounded three times in a row, the cavalry marched out, and the smoke and dust billowed. Looking from a high place, the two cavalry shot out like sharp arrows.

A long horn sounded, which was the order to charge.

The shield wall fell down in an instant, the Chinese army shouted to kill the sky, and the infantry attacked and killed.

Scarecrows and stakes fell in pieces.

After some confusion, the horn sounded to form the formation.

Cole looked at the soldiers in formation. After training, they had been able to complete their tasks excellently in simulated battles, but the enemies were nothing but haystacks and wooden stakes.

They still need to go through the baptism of war, and only those who can stay at that time can be regarded as qualified fighters.

"My lord, there are no mistakes in all formations this time." Camillo reported to him.

What they train is the most basic battle formation, mainly infantry, supplemented by archers, and strangely cavalry.Cole led the reserve team to support.

This is the best time to subdue the Stormlands. You must know that not everyone has defected to King's Landing. Cole was able to gather such a large army so quickly, and many families from the Stormlands were already helping.

After Cole defeated High Court, some people rekindled hope. Their family suffered heavy losses in the Battle of the Blackwater River, and the castle was granted to others by Joffrey. How could they be reconciled?
Cole ordered them to gather in the Midsummer Hall, and now a team of more than 2000 people has been assembled. He directly told the nobles of the Stormlands with his behavior that I am going to use troops against you, and you have to be prepared.

Storm's End and Dragonstone Island are not enough to supply the logistics of the war, and now only [-] soldiers have put the pressure on Storm's End is unbearable.

The war drill took a total of five days from preparation to holding. He has been actively recruiting and training recruits for nearly half a month after receiving the news that the Qingting Island fleet was destroyed.

5000 people are completely enough to stabilize the situation in the storm, if there are no accidents and reinforcements.

In the Battle of the Blackwater River, no one suffered more than the Stormlands.

Even the surviving forces were transferred to the riverlands to fight the northerners because they thought they might return to Storm's End.

At this time, the defense in the storm area is empty, and even if the army is gathered, it will be a mob.

Ke Fei is a man who is proficient in military training.

These military formation training methods are the product of his combination of what he learned in castle books and discipline training in the previous century.

On the battlefield, he also personally experienced the military formation of Westeros, which can only be said to be extremely chaotic.

Although they were barely able to gain momentum when forming an formation, once they fought, they didn't even know who was who.

You can barely recognize people with armor.

Sometimes when a battle breaks out, one rides a horse and rushes to kill, and one does not even know whether it is an enemy or a friend who dies in the hands.

A heavy cavalry attack often requires a large number of men and horses as a foreshadowing, and infantry and light cavalry are used as cover in front to allow the equipment to rush.

Equipped heavy cavalry can only be a real killer when they charge up.

It is difficult for cavalry to have restraint means in this era, and the conventional method is to use cavalry to restrain cavalry.

It's a pity that Cole's men have less than a hundred heavy cavalry, and to be precise, there should be only 86 people.

Qingqi has a thousand people, and the horses are all sent by Gaoting.

It was getting dark after the drill, and Cole led a group of knights back to the castle.

Ser Jafary Dondarrion of Blackport, their sigil is a forked purple lightning bolt and twinkling four-pointed stars on a black field.Earl Dondarien was a handsome man, but his cousin Jafari didn't seem to have inherited the good genes of the family. He was not tall, with a thin face and piercing eyes.

Lord Heywood Fell of Fallenwood.

Lord Hugh Granderson of the All-Seeing City, known as Greybeard.

These people are all gathered under him at this moment.

Of course, there is also Sir Roland Storm of Nightsong City. He is the illegitimate son of the Cullen family and the only remaining brother of Bryce Cullen, Earl of Nightsong City. The coat of arms of the Cullen family is a yellow background. black nightingale.This Lord of the Storm believed in "warrior" extremely, and was as warlike as a warrior. He challenged Cole as soon as he arrived at Storm's End.

He led the rear at the Battle of the Blackwater, covering Stannis' retreat, and now Cole has arranged to lead the two thousand new troops at Summerhall.

"My lord, this army is definitely considered elite." Earl Hugh Granderson was riding beside him. He was an old man, and it was really embarrassing for him to be able to lead the army in person.

"It's nothing but a real battlefield to test the strength of an army." Cole said.

Gilbert led the servants and the stable boy to greet him in the school grounds. Cole dismounted sideways and handed the leash to his stable boy. This stable boy was named Watson, a simple and honest boy.

"Lord Cole." Gilbert walked straight through the crowd to his side.

The servants were helping him remove the armor, and Cole raised his arms to let them untie the knots. "What's wrong?"

"There is a bird from King's Landing." He held out a letter.

All the rope buckles of the iron shawl and armor were untied, and they came out from the head.Before that they took off their cloaks.

"King's Landing?" Cole asked.What is Duke Tywin trying to fix?
He has been outside the city for the past five days, and the messengers are usually responsible for delivering the news for him, but Cole has left most of the things to Gilbert.

"What did the letter say?" Cole asked him, taking off his handguard and wristguard at the same time.

"This is an invitation, my lord. Tyrion Lannister invites you as a friend to his wedding in King's Landing."

Cole couldn't help laughing, "Did Lannister think of us as fools?" Suddenly his expression froze, and he asked quickly, "Who did Tyrion Lannister marry?"

"Sansa Stark. It seems to be the eldest daughter of Eddard Stark, Duke of Winterfell."

He frowned, "This is not good news."

Looking north, I don't know how Duke Ed will react when he hears the news.
