Game of Thrones: Winter Dragon Lord

Chapter 167 Victory
Surrounding the hills, there are camps set up with tents of all sizes.

In the tent at the top of the hill, guards with guns were stationed outside the tent door, and black and white flags fluttered on the poles.

The curtain door is tied on both sides of the door frame, a square oak table is placed in the center of the large tent, a large map is pressed at the four corners, and there are wood carvings on the map.

There is also an identical map hanging behind the desk.

They crossed the Crimson Mountains at an extremely fast speed, and when the army of Storm's End had arrived at the designated position, the other army from the Bone Road had not even reached Summer Hall.

Although dissatisfied with their speed, Cole could only camp here and wait besides sending ravens to urge them.

The scouts scattered out, sending news from the front at all times. Every time they got a bit of information from the enemy, the wooden carvings on the map would change their positions. Obviously Cole wanted to wait for the two armies to be in place before continuing to march, but the enemy had already I can't wait to fight them.

If it could be fought, then no one would be willing to hide in a castle and fight a city defense battle. In addition to a fight of flesh and blood, war is also a psychological game.

The defenders are born at a disadvantage in terms of mentality.

"My lord, this is a message from Sir Lister's scout." The steward took a letter into the tent.

Ser Lister Morrigan was sent as the vanguard, to harass the enemy's cohorts, and to scout out the enemy's movements.

In the letter, Earl Morrigan reported to him accurately the distribution of the enemy's forces and the results of the battle.

In the first wave of harassment, they attacked the enemy's left flank according to Cole's instructions and successfully disrupted the formation of the rainforest troops, but they did not dare to go too deep, but retreated quickly after achieving the effect.

In the subsequent attack, the enemy obviously had to be too cautious, and they didn't make a big breakthrough. Lister could only lead people around to intercept and kill the scout troops in the rainforest.

Gu Thaksin reported that although the advance troops successfully slowed down the enemy's marching speed, their position was less than a day's journey away from the camp at this time.

Cole speculated to move the enemy's wooden carving a few steps forward. On the map, the wooden carving of the turtle coat of arms and the coat of arms of the white bird were no longer a palm's distance away.

The scouts continued to send news, making the location of the turtle wooden sculpture more clear, and the army of the rainforest chose to set up camp on the coast in front of a harbor.

Cole moved the wooden carving to the left a little, and compared his eyes to the map on the wall. The topographical map was more detailed, and an outline of the camp appeared in his mind. The distance between the two armies was only half a day away.

He carefully looked at the conditions of the various roads. This map was drawn by him in Storm's End, and it was the latest landform of Cape Wrath.

The place they chose to camp was the exit of a flat valley surrounded by small mountains, a river leading directly to Broken Boat Bay, and the rainforest army was stationed at the mouth of the river.

This mountain range is not difficult to climb. Compared with the steep and rugged Crimson Mountain Range, it is insignificant.

"Jose, go and call Camillo."

Jose was in charge of Cole's guards, and Camillo was in command of Cole's cavalry.

The numbers of these two armies are not large, the guards are only over a hundred, and the cavalry is only 50, but this is definitely the army that Cole spends the most on gold dragons.

Camillo, with his armor on, walked into the tent.

"Your Highness." He saluted slightly.

Cole summoned him to the table. "According to the scouts, the enemy is less than half a day's journey away from us. They are stationed at the sea port downstream of the Wushui River."

"If I asked you to lead 100 people around this mountain range, how long would it take?" He pointed at the map.

In this long war game, everyone is growing. Camillo stared at the map, thought for a moment, and gave his answer, "If you only bring cavalry, you can reach the enemy's territory in less than three hours." rear."

"Are you sure?"

Camillo nodded confidently, "Your Highness, Jose and I have hidden in this area for a long time, and I am familiar with the situation and some trails here."

"Trail?" Cole asked with interest, "You point, let me see."

He pointed to a node on the map with his index finger, and said: "There is a flat road under Crow's Nest Castle that can quickly pass through the mountains." He turned to another point, "There is a dangerous road here, with dense forests and very hidden."

Cole looked thoughtfully at the place Camillo pointed out, feeling a little turbulent in his heart, as he had neglected many places.

Sure enough, no matter how tight the arrangement is, there will be omissions. Sometimes the turning points of war are often some inconspicuous little points.

"Okay, since that's the case, I need you to lead a hundred cavalry across the mountains immediately." He ordered.

After Camillo set out, he sent scouts to explore the trails that Camiro had pointed out.

Before it was dusk, the barracks started to cook on fire. The center of the barracks formed a contrast with the two sides. On the periphery were the noble troops who joined in during the march, while in the center were two soldiers who had been trained by Cole for more than two months. Soldiers of Thousand Storm's End.

The tents in the center are well-organized and well-organized, with tents juxtaposed in rows.

At this time, there are more than 3000 people in the entire military camp, and their rainforest enemies have swelled to 5000 people.

When the sky darkened, the cold wind on the sea brushed over the faces of every soldier, and the wood carvings of white birds on the map were slowly advancing.

The moon rises from the sea and slowly climbs to the mid-heaven.

Cole was riding on a war horse, surrounded by a hundred heavily armored guards, all of them holding long-handled sharp axes.

The outline of a military camp has already appeared in the distance, and dots of flames cover the entire coast.

At this time, the scouts came to report that no trace of the enemy was found in the mountain road.

Cole looked at the military camp on the coast. Could it be that he was thinking too much?
Trumpets sounded from the shore, and it seemed that the enemy had finally discovered their approach.

As the night fell, the army was advancing in an orderly manner. Their dozens of camps of hundreds of people were advancing slowly, and their fifteen-foot spears were raised high. Each camp was like a hedgehog full of spikes.

The front of the camp is composed of archers and spear throwers, the right wing is [-] cavalry led by Earl Heywood Fell, and the left wing is [-] mixed infantry led by Earl Sebastian Errol .

Amidst the sound of assembly horns, black figures filled the air from afar.

Cole sent men to beat the drums.

With the sound of drums, archers and spear throwers began to pour arrows and spears in their hands.

Archers are difficult to train and take shape, so the long-distance contest between the two sides did not last long.

The two sides are constantly approaching. Obviously, Cole's opponents have never seen this kind of phalanx. The rainforest formation continues the traditional combat method of Westeros.

At the forefront of the army, there are shield soldiers and spearmen holding wide shields advancing together. In the center is a complex mixed army. Light cavalry is distributed on the flanks. The figure of heavy cavalry has not yet appeared.

Cole was wearing that silver-white battle armor, matching silver steel throat guard, knee pads, chain gloves, steel boots, and a breastplate engraved with a white bird.A cross-shaped battle helmet covers the head, and a strip-shaped breathing hole mask covers from bottom to top, forming a sharp corner at the bridge of the nose.Above the head is a white bird with outstretched wings.

The horse armor is also a silver armor, shining brilliantly in the moonlight.

This conspicuous armor will only be a living target on the battlefield, but unfortunately, if you want to charge in front of this silver knight, you have to break through layers of thick ink-colored heavy armored longaxe infantry.

The sound of fighting came straight from the front line, the spearmen clashed with each other, and the flat coastline suddenly roared and shook the sky, the soldiers of both sides collided together in a uniform manner, like two iron walls with long thorns, kneaded together anxiously .

Every time a person fell in the phalanx, someone quickly replaced them, and their movements seemed to be as proficient as they had been trained countless times.

Cole saw the enemy's cavalry rushing out from the left flank. He slightly estimated the number of cavalry, at least [-] cavalry.

The enemy commander obviously also saw their weakness. The relatively well-trained center army and the right wing army composed of cavalry, the left wing was obviously just a mixed brigade.

Sir Sebastian commanded this mixed army to form a shield wall, watching the cavalry getting closer.

Suddenly arrows shot out from behind the shield wall, and the first cavalrymen all fell off their horses.

Among the eight hundred mixed infantry, there were fifty crossbowmen hiding, which was exactly what Cole used to deal with the cavalry.

After the crossbowmen shot their crossbow arrows, they quickly stepped back, and the spear and shield soldiers quickly arrived.

The cavalry and the left wing army were mixed together, and the chaos was abnormal.

The phalanx of spears is the cheapest battle formation that can be formed quickly. Compared with the traditional formation that uses armor and shields as its defense, the phalanx of spears uses spears as its own armor and abandons the formation of heavy armored soldiers. Formation, advancing neatly and slowly, like a spiked chariot.

But the spear phalanx also has a big weakness.

The combat power of the spear can only be concentrated to the front, and cannot be exhaustive.

Because continuous advancement is required in the war, the spear phalanx must abandon the defense of the two wings. Therefore, on the two wings of the spear phalanx, Cole has a large number of auxiliary soldiers. Only when the auxiliary soldiers with swords and shields are handed over to fight can they touch the spear phalanx.

Cole looked into his field of vision and silently watched the fighting on the battlefield. The main force of the enemy had not yet appeared, but the infantry in the rainforest had begun to show signs of collapse.

Although the weakness of the spear array is obvious, its advantages are also very prominent, that is, it has a crushing effect on the chaotic formation. After the shield wall of the rain forest is pushed down by the spear array, the rain forest blows. Charge horn.

Countless infantry charged forward aimlessly and crashed into the spear array.

Cole watched as his formation advanced like chariots. Against this kind of peasant man forcefully recruited from the fields, the spear formation instantly showed its advantages.

Heywood Fell seized a moment when they broke up, and led the cavalry into a charge.

At this time, the heavy cavalry of the Rainforest Army finally boarded the battlefield. Their left wing rushed forward. There were about a hundred cavalrymen, and their armors were engraved with various coats of arms.

Cole looked at the belated suit.

He gave the order to sound the bugle.

Whoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! ! !
The armored cavalry led by Sir Oakley Cullen, who had been hiding in the rear, also stepped onto the battlefield, with a number of about a hundred cavalry. This cavalry was assembled by the vassals of the frontier.

Under the leadership of Sir Cullen, they also charged towards the battlefield on the left.

When the two strands collide, they are like two giant swords on the battlefield.

The flashes of sharp swords, the collision of war horses, the piercing of spears, and the splashing of blood showed the bloody side of the war vividly. However, with the continuous advancement of the spear army, the battle situation of the rainforest people has become decadent.

The outcome of this battle was predictable.

Beep beep! ! !

Just when the battle situation stabilized, the sound of the horn suddenly came from behind Cole.

He turned his gaze, only to find that an army was rushing from behind them, and the sound of swishing arrows rang in his ears.

Jose yelled instantly, "A shield! Protect His Royal Highness."

The guards quickly pulled up a thick shield wall to resist the rain of arrows.

Where is this army from?

He looked around, and there were about a thousand people who came, and the noisy shouts of killing joined the battle.

There were hundreds of cavalry rushing forward in front of this army attacking from the rear, and Cole quickly ordered to let the longaxe guards beside him meet the enemy.

He was indeed caught off guard by this sudden sneak attack. He had already checked in every possible way the enemy's possible hidden moves, but no matter which way, there was no sign of an ambush.

But now, this army seems to have been summoned out of thin air.

Caesar is coming swiftly from the sea, if he is broken by this ambush, then only he can change the battlefield.

Cole let go of the doubts in his heart, and followed the guards on horseback.

Shaking the long sword in his hand, he roared and ordered to the guards, "Keep in shape! Keep in shape!"

The first cavalryman held his spear high and approached the guard in front of him. The guard's long ax swung and cut off the horse's leg, and the cavalry fell down quickly.

Then the cavalry charged down like raindrops, some were collided with the horses, some were shot by spears, although the guards suffered losses.But when the cavalry swept past, they lost more than half of themselves.

Cole shouted, and the guards began to charge towards the infantry.

He rode a horse and followed closely behind the guards, and occasionally beheaded a few enemies who rushed to him. When he was on the battlefield, it was difficult to see the whole situation of the battle clearly.

The guards temporarily resisted the advance of this army with their heavy armor and long axes.

Cole himself was also trying his best to slash and kill. With the help of his thick armor, he was invincible on the battlefield, and every time he sprinted, he would take away a few lives.

He also beheaded all the cavalry who surrounded him. He was so conspicuous that the enemies kept approaching him.

After the formation of the guards was disrupted, he found that there were more and more enemies around him.

A spearman poked at his horse with a spear, and was cut off by Cole's sword.

He rode his horse and leaned over, slashed in the air, and the spearman's head was directly chopped off.

At this time, Caesar sent him a picture, which relieved his doubts. Behind the barracks where they were stationed before, a fleet was docking there.

It seemed that he had counted all the enemies on land, but forgot those on the sea. The enemies had already circled behind them without anyone noticing, and he didn't even know it.

Cole pierced the throat of the oncoming cavalry with a sword. He drew back his long sword, and suddenly a black shadow appeared in the corner of his eyes, and Cole quickly turned his head away.

A mace flew past his eyes.

The owner of the mace came from a knight. He wore a heavy barrel helmet, and his sharp eyes were hidden under the holes in the mask.

"Fight for Lord Aemon!" he shouted, and then charged forward again.

Cole swung his sword to meet him and fought with him.

The knight's shield blocked several of Cole's attacks.

His mace whizzed around Cole, and a blow grazed the winged bird on his head, shaking Cole for a while. He secretly decided in his heart that when he returned, he would have the damn bird taken away. tear it down.

Cole took the opportunity to stab his horse's head with a sword, and the knight fell down.

The Mace Knight hurriedly shouted: "I surrender, my lord. I surrender, don't kill me."

At this time, there was a loud cheer from behind him.

"Long live Julius!"

"Long live Lord Cole!!"

Cole looked back, they seem to have won?
