Doomsday, starting from a generation of masters

Chapter 218 A bit of a rogue tactic

If you are prepared, the elephant is actually not an invincible unit. There are many ways to defeat it. What you are afraid of is this sudden encounter.
After the armored elephant easily dispersed Dorn's cavalry, it rushed into the infantry phalanx behind,
Cooperating with the cavalry behind, they swept across the dense infantry phalanx, and the archers on the back of the elephant could also sit on the back of the elephant and shoot condescendingly.

Large swaths of Dornish soldiers fled in all directions, and there was no longer any formation to speak of,

Arianne watched the one-sided battle with red eyes!The elephant that suddenly appeared on the battlefield broke up the cavalry charge,
She didn't give up and kept looking for opportunities to get close to it. Elephants are not invincible. Although they run faster than infantry, they are still too slow compared to cavalry.

As long as the distance is appropriate, the cavalry can shoot long-distance with bows and arrows and slowly pull the elephant to death.

The key point is that the Golden Regiment also has cavalry, and they will not let Arianne shoot arrows easily. It is even more impossible to rush forward. The heavy infantry of the Golden Regiment has been following the elephant. As long as Dorne's cavalry is close, it will be easy. Surrounded by infantry.

Arianne could only watch helplessly as the golden regiment dispersed Dorne's infantry phalanx little by little.
Crashes are inevitable!

The soldiers of Dorn began to flee in all directions,

The cavalry of the Golden Regiment chased after them, and countless Dornish soldiers were chased and hunted down like sheep!

Duke Tyrell on the city wall was pale and regretted more than once in his heart, especially after hearing the servant report to him that the Lannister on the other side of Highgarden also started to attack the city!
Maybe it's time to take the risk and keep the Dornishmen in the city, since at worst Highgarden is broken, as it is now!
The duke's fat body couldn't help but tremble!

"It's over! The Tyrell family is ending today!"

……

Ohh Ohh ohh! ——

It was as if dozens of horns were suddenly sounding at the same time!
The deep and broad sound of the horn instantly spread throughout the entire battlefield, and the originally chaotic battlefield was suddenly quiet for a moment!
Duke Tyrell's eyes turned to the direction where the voice came from, and everyone's eyes unconsciously turned to that direction!
In the distance, a black line suddenly appeared at the end of the earth!
Like the tide coming here,

Watch carefully, where is the tide, it is a black cavalry!The whole body is covered with impenetrable black armor, and even the war horses under their crotch are covered with black scales. They are slowly pacing and pressing up!

At the front of the team is their flag - under the thunder and lightning, a black iron fist pierces the sky!

"The heavy cavalry of Storm's End!!!"

"Fast formation! Form formation immediately!" The commander of the Golden Regiment yelled hoarsely, and the infantry who had just dispersed to hunt down the Dornishmen quickly gathered together!
At the same time, the second horn sounded!
The Dornish cavalry who came into view began to accelerate,
The sound of rumbling iron hooves slowed down and became faster, from comb to denser, until they became one piece, shaking the earth like thunder from the sky!
The iron hooves of [-] war horses trampled on the ground, and the deafening noise seemed to shatter the mountains!
"No, you can't rush in like this!" Arianne gritted her teeth, she had no time to rejoice at Lynn's feelings, and saw the scene of heavy cavalry preparing to charge!
The nearly [-] heavy infantry of the Golden Regiment have already formed a dense formation. If the cavalry rush in directly, it will be a battle of spears and shields. If the cavalry can penetrate the enemy's formation, they will naturally divide the battlefield and gain a complete advantage.

But in most cases, it is impossible to break through the dense formation!They will be blocked by dense human walls layer by layer, until they lose their speed and are trapped in the formation, they will be stabbed into a hornet's nest by countless spears around them!

Everyone understands such a simple truth, the Duke of Tyrell and the commander of the Golden Regiment in front of the city also understand it.

Different from the worry and anxiety of Arianne and Duke Tyrell, the Golden Company is overjoyed. There are elephants in his army. As long as the opponent's cavalry rushes over, it will be an easy feat. Let the Golden Group recruit another [-] mercenaries!
Before the joy in his heart fell to the ground, a dark cloud suddenly rose on the distant horizon!No, no, it's not a dark cloud, it's a white cloud!No, yes, it's a dragon! ! !
"dragon!!!"

The slowly rising dragon is like the cold wind in the north in a fairy tale, and it can freeze the relaxed expressions on people's faces with just one blow.The breath of fear drove away the laughter and instantly filled the entire battle formation. The commander of the Golden Regiment, who was planning to take off the armor of the enemy's cavalry just a second ago, was now full of unconscious sounds.

None of the people present had ever seen a dragon. They opened their mouths wide and watched the pure white dragon fly closer and closer. Its wings covered the sun and cast a huge gray shadow on the ground!
The dragon's shadow flitted across the host like an Emperor inspecting his own childhood toys.Lord Tyrell saw flames descending from their mouths. It was dragon's flame, orange-red tinged with dazzling gold.

The wind howled, and the flames instantly covered the dense heavy infantry phalanx of the Golden Regiment!Shocking screams and the smell of burnt flesh filled the air.

The dense formations are gone, the huge war elephants are gone, the golden armor, spears, bows and arrows are all gone!It was replaced by a sea of ​​flames, with thick black smoke rising into the sky.

Arianne and her soldiers stood there blankly, looking at the pure white and noble dragon, destroying their invincible, invincible, and doorless enemies that were chasing after them in just a few breaths!

Of course it was destroyed. After the flames of the dragon passed, only the loose and fleeing soldiers were left. The heavy cavalry at full speed was like a torrent of steel, easily piercing through the loose light cavalry. Grind it into a meat paste!

Facing the charge of heavy cavalry, a loose formation is vulnerable, but the denser the formation, the more suitable it is for the dragon to spit flames!

Such a tactic is simply rogue!
The light cavalry of the Fourth Banner Regiment began to enter the field to harvest!
This time, they were chased like sheep, and those who were killed turned into golden groups!

At this time, among the Lannister army that was attacking on the other side of Highgarden, James received a message, "The Golden Legion on the opposite side encountered a heavy cavalry raid from Storm's End! I didn't expect their speed to be so fast. I thought It will take at least three days to arrive!"

"It's a pity, since the support from the other side has arrived, it means that the enemy behind us is coming soon!"

"Release all the scouts, let the siege soldiers withdraw first, and the cavalry be on guard!"

James' series of orders can be said to be cautious and reasonable, but that is based on the absence of dragons.

When a giant dragon appears on the battlefield, this out-of-spec power is enough to destroy any conventional tactics!

After a while,

Jaime's Lannister army is ready when the First and Third Banners appear on the horizon!
