Game of Thrones: Roar of the Dragon

Luthris was not Jacaerys after all, and he didn't know what to do after conquering Lys.

Moreover, he was too soft-hearted and did not adopt Duke Forester's suggestion to massacre the city.

A large number of civilians escaped from Lys during the chaos and spread the news of the fall of Lys to several other free cities.

Compared to the disputed land that had never belonged to anyone, the news of the fall of Lys shocked other city-states.

Jacaerys had previously destroyed Tyrosh, and now he was taking Myr and Lys.

This is no longer just a fight for revenge, but a posture of swallowing up the entire Essos.

So the smart people in the remaining free city-states reacted immediately and began to consider forming an alliance.

But the most fearful were the Volantis, who were mortal enemies of Jacaerys.

As soon as Reese's lips died, their teeth suddenly felt a bone-chilling cold.

After hearing that the Westeros army had the ability to transport soldiers through the air, the archons of Volantis discussed and finally decided to take proactive measures.

A major transportation route located east of the disputed land, about ten riding days away from Gros.

The terrain of this area is relatively flat and is surrounded by hills and forests.

A Volantis army numbering perhaps four to five thousand men was hiding behind the hills and in the forests at this strategic point.

Judging from the roaring tiger head emblem on their bodies, this group of Volantis soldiers belonged to the Tiger Party.

Da da da!
There was a sound of horse hooves, and a group of nearly a hundred Westeros cavalrymen appeared in the distance to the west of the main road.

The commander of the Tiger Party army looked at the group of prey that were about to enter the ambush, and after a moment's hesitation, he ordered the attendant beside him: "This is the enemy's reconnaissance cavalry. It seems that the enemy is very cautious!
but it does not matter!
Notify our cavalry units to surround the area after the ranged attack is over.

Don't kill them all, it's better to drive them towards us and trap them.

The rest of the troops should hide and wait for them to attract the big fish behind before encircling and suppressing them!"

"As ordered!"

Da da da!
Whoohoo!
The Frey cavalry, flying the Twin Towers banner, galloped along the road without any knowledge of the situation.

Suddenly, at least dozens of heavy stones the size of heads came whizzing towards us from behind a hill on the left front of the road.

"Enemy attack, scatter!"

Since the purpose of reconnaissance cavalry is to conduct better exploration, the riding formation of this Frey family cavalry was originally relatively scattered.

Coupled with the commander Koma Frey's quick reaction and loud shout, the nearly 100 Frey family cavalrymen immediately pulled the reins and dispersed in all directions.

Boom, boom, boom!
Most of the rocks fell heavily to the ground, creating deep holes, but a small number of them hit the target.

Click!
No matter whether it was the Frey family cavalry or the warhorses, anyone hit by the heavy stones would suffer broken bones and die.

This important road was splattered with blood and the number of corpses increased, announcing the beginning of the ambush!
shhhhhh!
Da da da!
Following the stone-throwing attack was a hail of arrows from the left front and a flood of enemy cavalry out of the woods from the right rear.

Oops! I was so careless!

Koma looked at his retreat route which was quickly cut off by the enemy cavalry with a grim face, and couldn't help blaming himself for being careless.

Before setting out for Essos, Duke Forester had repeatedly instructed him, as a scout cavalryman, to survey the surrounding terrain and make sure there were no ambushes before moving forward.

Before this, Coma had followed Duke Forester's instructions and conducted a carpet reconnaissance before every battle.

However, due to the victory in the disputed land, and having witnessed with his own eyes His Majesty Jacaerys and his dragon displaying great power like gods descending from heaven.

This made him feel complacent. After all, the towns in the disputed area and Rees were hiding in the city waiting for them to attack.

Coma gradually came to believe that all enemies in Essos were like this, so he did not seriously investigate the surrounding environment at all.

In fact, it is understandable that most of the Westeros soldiers did not expect that these Essos enemies would not defend the city, but instead dared to be so bold as to launch an ambush in the field.

Knowing that now was not the time to blame himself, Koma glanced at the empty front and the rear, which was surrounded by at least five hundred cavalrymen.

After a series of battles, Koma, who already had mature battlefield judgment, immediately made a decision in his mind.

He immediately drew his sword and pointed at the enemy cavalry that had already started charging behind him and shouted,

"True men of Westeros, charge in a wedge formation!
Let's knock these Essos bitches over!"

Swish, swish!
Woo oh!

Upon hearing this, nearly a hundred Frey family cavalrymen quickly formed a wedge formation with Koma as the sharpest tip.

Then they drew out their swords and raised them above their heads, pointing the tips of the swords at the enemy, and charged towards the enemy with strange shouts.

Bang, bang!
咴儿~~
Oh!

Ah!
As the cavalry of both sides approached rapidly, all kinds of noisy sounds suddenly rang out on the battlefield.

Sometimes the enemy and our side collided with each other, and sometimes we killed our opponents in the midst of the charge.

Screams, wails, blood, and corpses instantly intertwined into a bloody and iron-blooded song about the brutal war.

Tear!

At the front of the Frey family cavalry wedge formation, Koma, who was brave and killing the enemy, played his role to the fullest.

He killed two enemy cavalrymen very forcefully, and led the Frey family cavalrymen behind him to cut into the phalanx of the Westerland cavalry.

Swish!
After cutting into the enemy cavalry's phalanx, Coma simply let go of the reins in his hand, used his skilled horsemanship to control it, and at the same time used his free hands to hold the sword and directly beheaded an enemy cavalryman.

In fact, most of Volantis' elite cavalry had been consumed in the War in the Disputed Lands!
Although this Tiger cavalry unit appears to have four or five times the number of Koma's troops.

However, it was still not enough in front of the Frey family cavalry, which had developed excellent combat effectiveness through consecutive victories and high morale.

But the commander in charge of this Tiger Cavalry unit had a keen battlefield intuition.
He immediately realized something was wrong when he saw the unstoppable Koma troops, and ordered the soldiers around him: "Although we just received an order to hold back a little, don't kill them all!

But the guy leading the group looks a little unusual, so quickly get those 100 elite cavalrymen to attack and stop him, don’t let them take the opportunity to escape!”

Following the commander's order, the nearly one hundred elite cavalrymen who had been regarded as his trump card and were kept in the rear of the army,

The Frey family cavalrymen who began to intercept the charge were not as aggressive as they were at the beginning.

clang!
After killing seven or eight people in a row, Koma, covered in blood, swung his sword, which had become somewhat blunt, vigorously again. However, with the sound of collision, his powerful blow was blocked by the opponent.

Hmm, it’s the enemy’s elite cavalry. It seems the real battle has just begun!
Koma, who was like an invincible warrior, saw that his sword was blocked. After meeting the other party's cold eyes,
He realized instantly that the cavalry he encountered were no longer rookies, but real elites.

The elite Tiger cavalryman exchanged blows with Koma, and the two sides rode past each other.

Just as he was about to swing his sword at the Frey cavalry behind him, a black shadow suddenly attacked him.

Ouch!
A cylindrical warhammer with a front end as big as the head hit the mask of the Tiger Party elite cavalryman head-on. Crack!

The uniquely shaped helmet of this elite Tiger Party cavalryman was instantly dented by the hammer. At the same time, a crisp sound of broken bones was heard and blood splattered everywhere.

Koma turned around and saw that it was his younger brother and deputy, Dickon Frey.

Although his younger brother was of great stature and gifted with supernatural powers, he had a slight intellectual disability and usually only listened to Koma's commands.

However, when he saw his brother in danger, Dickon spontaneously offered his hand to help.

By the time Dicken took back his newly forged war hammer, the elite Tiger cavalryman had already been chopped apart beyond recognition by his fierce blow, leaving only a blur of flesh and blood.

Bang bang, bang bang!
The body of the Tiger Party's elite cavalryman lost balance and fell off the horse, but because the stirrup was entangled in the body's legs, the horse kept dragging the unrecognizable body forward.

Boom, boom!
Dicken behind Koma went a little crazy after seeing the blood. His eyes were bloodshot and he kept swinging his long-handled warhammer to kill his opponent. He looked like he had gone mad.

Even though these elite Tiger cavalrymen with rich combat experience could block Koma's sword, they could not escape Dicken's deadly long-handled war hammer!

The two brothers of the Varley family were like a sharp blade, constantly chiseling at the formation of the Tiger Cavalry.

But it is undeniable that after being blocked by these elite Tiger cavalry, the speed at which the Frey family cavalry broke through the Tiger cavalry phalanx became significantly slower.

In theory, the cavalry at the front of the formation suffer the most casualties in a cavalry charge.

But under the leadership of two powerful generals, Koma and Dicken, the situation is now completely the opposite.

The Frey family cavalry suffered fewer casualties at the front of the wedge formation and continued to hammer at the Tiger cavalry phalanx.

On the contrary, the left and right wings, which were relatively safer, were constantly being attacked and devoured by the Tiger Party cavalry phalanxes.

As the cavalry of both sides clashed brutally, corpses of cavalrymen kept falling off their horses on the battlefield, including both Frey family cavalrymen and Tiger Party cavalrymen.

A large number of war horses that had lost their owners roamed around the battlefield, refusing to leave for a long time.

When more than half of the Frey family cavalry were killed or wounded, leaving only about fifty people.

Koma, who was covered in blood like a bloody man, finally saw no other enemies in front of him.

Koma turned his head and looked around. He found that more than two hundred westerland cavalrymen who had first crossed paths with them had already turned their horses around and were chasing after the Frey family cavalry.

Does the other side have fresh troops?
Damn, how many people did they ambush in this godforsaken place?

Our horses are tired from the march, and if we walk together we will surely be overtaken by them.

If you want to escape, then you have to...

When they saw at least three hundred Tiger cavalrymen appearing on the left rear side of the Tiger Party formation and surrounding them.

Many thoughts immediately popped into Koma's mind.

After making a quick decision, he turned and shouted to Dicken behind him, "Dicken, take some people to hold them back!
My brother is going to ask the Duke for help first!"

Dickon obeyed Coma's orders completely. He rode his horse and led forty Frey cavalrymen to charge towards the three hundred Tiger cavalrymen.

Koma led the remaining ten-man cavalry squad and galloped in the direction of the forest.

In the woods behind the right side of this important road, huge crossbows with cold flashing arrows were aiming at Dicken's ten-man team, waiting for the commander's order.

"Let them go! The Archon is waiting for them to lead others into the trap!"

A laughing voice sounded, and the giant crossbow in the woods gradually loosened its bowstring and no longer aimed at Dicken and his party.

Unlike the relaxed atmosphere in the woods on the right, the commander of the surrounding Tiger cavalry was very flustered at the moment.

Because he originally just wanted to gild his reputation, and when he saw that the encirclement was successful, he stepped forward to show his face.

But who knew that the enemy cavalry would actually defeat the larger force with the smaller one and successfully break through, and now the enemy cavalry is actually coming towards them.

"Protect me! Draw your bow and shoot arrows, kill them for me!"

After calming down a little, the commander immediately gave the attack order to the cavalry around him.

His life was the most important thing at the moment, so he had no time to care about the order he had received before to capture the person alive if possible.

Koma and his party were not pursued by any Tiger cavalry and were able to escape successfully.

Dickon led forty Frey family cavalrymen to fight against the three hundred elite Tiger cavalrymen and the four hundred ordinary Tiger cavalrymen who had surrounded them again.

Da da da!
The Westeros army, which was less than half a riding day away from Coma and other reconnaissance cavalry, was marching on this important road at a normal riding speed.

When Duke Forester saw Koma turned into half a bloody man, he was shocked.

In fact, he had a similar idea to Koma. He didn't think that the remaining soldiers from the Western Territory would dare to abandon the castle and fight outside the city.

So this time when he went to Volantis, he did not repeatedly remind Koma of the previous reconnaissance principles.

After listening to Deacon's detailed description, Duke Forrester instantly realized that this was definitely a trap set specifically for him.

interesting!
Instead of staying in Volantis and slowly waiting to die, why not gather together and give it a try?
Is this what the opposite means?

With thousands of thoughts in his mind, Duke Forrestal hesitated for a moment before deciding on the next tactical plan.

In order to rescue Deacon as soon as possible, and also to be on the safe side.

He left five hundred Frey family soldiers behind to look after the remaining food supplies and other logistical materials.

He led a thousand lightly armed Frey cavalrymen and five thousand fully armed infantrymen to break the enemy's traps and destroy all enemies.

As time was running out, Duke Forrester took a thousand Frey family cavalrymen and went ahead, marching quickly towards the ambush site in Coma.

The remaining 5,000 soldiers would march quickly and might arrive half a day late.

In the afternoon when the sun was setting from zenith to the west, they arrived at the battlefield covered with blood and corpses.

Duke Forester saw at a glance what was happening on this important road in the distance.

Dickon and three Frey family cavalrymen had already lost their horses. They were covered in blood and were surrounded by at least a thousand Tiger cavalrymen.

From time to time, Tiger cavalry would take advantage of their inattention and suddenly attack from behind, adding a bloody mark on their bodies.

This is simply making fun of them like monkeys.

call!
After Duke Forester calmed down his anger, he turned around and gave his orders to the Frey family cavalrymen behind him: "There are enemies ambushing in the woods on both sides. I will lead 300 people to attack the woods on the right, and Coma will lead 700 people to attack the woods on the left.

Now, charge!" (End of this chapter)
