The Winter of Ice and Fire Is Coming

The Earl of Gogenes asked Princess Arianne to order the pursuit of the enemy.

The enemy's battleship is too large, which is a weakness: it is not flexible to advance and retreat, and the people of Don can use the wolves tactics, biting, and bowing.

For all warships, the head of the ship was installed.

The head bump is made of iron, with a pointed cone!

The victory of the Earl of Gogenes also gave the other jazz great confidence.

The Earl of Dart of Lemon Grove, whose territory and castle are not far from the town of Plank, was the first coastal city to be looted by Mans Reid; De ransacked a clean big city; plus the salt coast city that was looted this time; the three major families are all powerful nobles led by Donne, and the victory of Gogenes gave the three major families a strong confidence in revenge , The enemy is very strong, that is because they did not encounter the more powerful Dorn regular soldiers.

There is only one military fortress in Bantian Town where the enemy navy has won, with no more than a hundred soldiers. Although the residents of Bantiao Town are not weak in combat effectiveness, they are not regular troops. After all, they are fishermen, and they are seriously inadequate in number, weapons, and preparations. They failed miserably after being attacked by the enemy in the middle of the night.

The enemy ransacked the towns along the Green Blood River and has never been defeated. This is not worth fearing, because the elite soldiers in these towns have already left and are stationed at the Irenwood military fortress, fighting several cities without urban garrisons, and their strength With around five thousand people, this is not a remarkable thing, it can only be described as cunning.

The Earl of Elion, the Earl of Gogenes, and the Earl of Dart all asked Princess Arianne to pursue the enemy.

Arianne said: "The enemy's Unicorn Legion did not show up, why? They deliberately lost to us for a while, and then hoped to lure us into a decisive battle outside the sea."

"Since there is a decisive battle, why not here?" Count Dart said.

"In a decisive battle here, we can go ashore at any time, and the enemy is the navy." Arianne said, "This is why I have to sail along the coastline. On the sea, I don't think we will be the enemy's opponent. , But as long as it goes ashore, we are the winner."

"Princess, you have the order that we can only be defeated but not defeated, you just want to lure the enemy to chase us, and then we go ashore?" Earl Elion asked.

"Yes, if we don't lead the enemy ashore, we can't defeat them in the sea, let alone annihilate them." Princess Arianne said.

"No, princess, since the enemy is the navy, they will not go ashore, and we can only fight with them on the sea. You saw the battle just now, and we won a great victory." Gogenles said. "Even if the enemy's unicorn is very powerful, there are only two hundred people and two hundred hands. We only need five hundred archers to shoot two hundred people to death."

"Princess, Earl Gogenes is right. The first is bow and arrow, and the second is fighting. We have 12,000 people, but five thousand people can be used as archers. Five thousand people engage in close combat with the enemy. Once the enemy's ship is blocked, a thousand fishing boats can kill the big ship." Count Dart said.

The other counts and generals felt that the Counts of Gogenes, the Darts, and the Counts of Elion made a lot of sense. Everyone asked for a battle. They would rather die at sea with the enemy than spend time enticing them to land. Moreover, the enemy had already been defeated in the first battle, and became a frightened bird. It is impossible for them to come back and go ashore to fight the Dorn.

Seeing that no one supported her point of view, Arianne had to agree with everyone. She ordered the army to advance to the Salt Coast city to rest, and waited for the arrival of the thousands of Shama cavalry from the little prince Tristan. Then she made a long-term plan and sent a ship along Dorn. The fishing villages and coastal cities on the coastline recruited warships, even the large merchant ships of Ludoun, were all requisitioned and transformed into warships.

Princess Arianne was afraid that Earl Gogenles would be fighting in the army, so she sent him to take the troops to Yangji City, and asked her father, Prince Daolang, to send grain and grass to Salt Coast City. When the grain and grass were in place, they were recruited. There are about two hundred big warships, plus more small fishing boats, to go to sea to fight the enemy decisively.

Count Gogenes had to leave the Salt Coast swallowingly, and took the family's guards to Yangji City to urge the grain.

The Earl of Dart, the main battle faction, was sent by Princess Arianne to collect warships. All merchant ships passing through the Dorn waters were requisitioned; and the royal family ordered all the fishermen from the fishing villages on the coast of Dorn to bring fishing boats. Join the princess's navy team.

The princess sent the Earl of Divine Grace with thirty small boats to the sea to detect the enemy's navy movement, and found the enemy's intelligence, and immediately released the raven to report.

At this point, the Counts of Gogenes, Earl, and Dart, who strongly demanded the main battle, were sent out one by one by the princess, and Princess Arianne eliminated a military plan to venture out to sea and fight the enemy to the death invisible.

Arianne made up her mind and was unwilling to fight the enemy at sea. She saw that the enemy’s first battle was as if it was paper-flopped by the Earl of Gogenreus. This was not in line with the real military situation. , The enemy’s warships did lose seven, but that’s a bit too exaggerated. Moreover, none of the seven warships was robbed for their own use. Most of the enemies on the warships also fled by other warships. Not many enemies were killed, but the soldiers on the earl's side were killed more.

The enemy spent a great deal of effort to defeat, they are just the arrogant strategy, hoping that the Dorn people can chase after the excitement, and then destroy the Dorn people in the sea.

This plan is very vicious. Arianne decided not to fight the enemy at sea. In the sea, no one can resist a unicorn. But on the shore, the Shama cavalry can fight the unicorns. Tactics are crowded tactics.

Can an army of two hundred unicorns win with five thousand Shama cavalry?

Moreover, the enemy came from afar, and it was the enemy who wanted to fight quickly, not himself. The enemy's harassment tactics are indeed very successful, but it is absolutely impossible for their army to break the Elenwood military fortress and enter Dorne. Unless the opponent has a dragon.

After Arianne arranged everything, he sent ravens to find out about the situation: Ellenwood City; King's Tomb City; Sandstone City; and sent a raven to send a letter to his uncle Red Viper to learn about the Red Viper’s march. She stationed troops in Salt Coast City and entered the desert at any time to cooperate with Uncle Red Viper's military operations to wipe out Will's 8,000 army first.

It was Arianne's strategy to destroy the army that entered the desert first, and then the five thousand people on the sea. After the two groups of enemies were wiped out, the army had time to go back to garrison the city of King Tomb and Elenwood.

King Tomb City and Irunwood City are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and no matter how many enemies there are, they will not be able to take down these two cities in half a year. Especially Wang Tomb City, it is completely impossible to erect any siege equipment, even if they are given a year's time, they cannot be defeated.

0913 Chapter 2

While Princess Arianne dispatched three major earls to stabilize the military, Will, James, Euron Crow's Eye, Arya, Arrow Angel, Countess Laura, Jonissa, and Burns joined forces. , Stabilized Wangzhong City. The military fortress at the foot of Wangzhongcheng Mountain was destroyed without attack and chose to open the door and surrender.

Will counted his record and won four thousand soldiers, including 1,500 soldiers from the Bramont family and 2,500 from the Manwood family. Will still put the soldiers of the Blymont family under the control of the Countess Blymont, and put the soldiers of the Count Manwood into his army, with a total strength of 12,000.

Will Piangai, James, and Pence led three thousand troops to defend King Tomb City. Two thousand troops were stationed in Wangzhong City, and one thousand troops were stationed in the military fortress under the mountain; the two places were under the control of James. Pence and James garrisoned King Tomb City, and Angai led a thousand troops to garrison the military fortress under the mountain.

Both Wangzhong City and the military fortress are easy to defend and difficult to attack. Three thousand people are enough to defend the city. Unless there is a dragon, it is impossible to break the King Tomb City and the military fortress under the mountain, and can only be breached from within.

Will himself, Arya, Countess Laura, and Jonissa led seven thousand troops on a mountain road to attack the military fortress guarded by the Irenwood family. Send the Crow's Eye Euron to lead two thousand soldiers back to the sea, drive a warship to meet Mans Reid in the eastern seas, first cut off the entire sea trade route of Dorne, and then destroy all the ports of Dorne, destroy or capture more En's warship.

Mans Reid’s navy will have the navy of East China Sea, the navy of Skaggs, and the navy of Euron Crow’s Eye, which is invincible in the waters of Dorne. This navy comes ashore at any time to rob, and enter the sea before the enemy can react.

Will's plan is to allow Mans Reid's navy to harass the coastal cities of Donne, including the capital Yangji City, day and night. All coastal fishermen’s villages and towns will be forced to cooperate with Mans Reid’s navy, or they will be forced to emigrate to the north by the navy dispatched ships.

Wangzhong City was taken, and the road for the 40,000 freemen to enter Dorn was clear. The Tyrell family in the Bayland got the news before Princess Arianne in the Salt Coast city.

Duke Metz Tyrell was overjoyed when Lord Will had taken the King’s Tomb City. Hewandi and Dorne were feuds. The two sides had fought for many years because of the ownership of many land in the Crimson Mountains. The most important thing the Lier family wanted to do for a century. After hearing that the army had been able to enter the territory of Dorne freely, the Duke of Tyrell did not notify Lord Will and immediately ordered the entire territory to conscript. The 50,000 army must be assembled within one month. , Led by the famous general Landau Tali, entered Dorn from the Crimson Mountains and assisted Lord Will in destroying Dorn’s rebellious forces.

Of course the assistance is true or false. It is true because the Duke of Tyrell indeed sent troops to help the Prime Minister; if it is false, the Duke’s plan is completely different from Lord Will’s military strategy. From the point of view of his ignorance of the Prime Minister’s , It is true that he wants to benefit the Tyrell family.

Dorn, who lost the Martell family, needs a new force to control. Lord Will is the Prime Minister of the Seven Kingdoms. After the war, he will return to the Red Fort of King's Landing City, and then go north to lead the Seven Kingdoms to station on the Great Wall. So, who will fill the power vacuum left by Donne, and who has the ability to fill it?

Of course there is only the Tyrell family ‘separated by a mountain’.

Will didn't know about Tyrell's military operations, and the freedmen generals who were going south did not know. They came from the north, and naturally they didn't care about or bother about the military deployment and arrangements of the Tyrell family.

*

The Free People’s Army was divided into two groups, with 20,000 troops along the way, entering the Prince’s Pass and Bone Road from the Bay of the River and the Storm. Freedmen are no strangers to mountains. They have lived in the mountains since they were young. The only difference is that the south is so hot. Before entering the real territory of Dorn, all the freedmen soldiers gave up wearing armor, everyone in single clothes and thin shirts, marching barefoot. Although the speed of this march is not slow, there is nothing for such an army to fight. Protective.

The Tyrell army, which was responsible for leading the 20,000 freemen into the Prince’s Pass, looked down on these freemen fighters more and more, but to the surprise of the southern soldiers, none of these freemen had heatstroke due to the heat, which is really amazing. Up.

*

It’s not far from the King’s Tomb City at the Prince’s Pass to the Irunwood Military Fortress, which is less than three hundred miles. The only difficulty is that the road is not easy to follow. Seven thousand troops can only walk.

Will, Countess Laura, and Gonisa decided to take the 1,500 people of the Bremen family as the vanguard, and first rushed to the city of Irenwood to attack. The soldiers of the Countess Laura are good at walking mountain roads. Arya led five thousand five hundred people to follow up. These five thousand five hundred people have the navy of Crow's Eye Euron, the navy of the Farman family in the west, and the surrender tomb. Among the soldiers in the city, in the mixed army, the navy is relatively weaker than the two hundred li mountain roads.

The vanguard of Will, Mrs. Laura, and Jonissa arrived on the hills outside the Irenewood Fortress one day and one night.

The sky is still dark, it is the darkness before dawn.

The army stopped marching and rested on the spot.

Mrs. Laura said: "Lord Will, I suggest that you still disguise as Prince Quentin Martell and enter the fortress of Irenwood like Prince Quentin Martell, kill the Earl of Irenwood, and then raise the fire. Griffin assisted in breaking the city gate, closing in and out, and taking the city of Irenwood."

Jonisa agreed with her mother's proposal.

Will shook his head: "Mrs. Laura, Jonisa, the news that we have taken the King's Tomb City has probably reached Irenewood City, so the way to enter the city as Quentin Martel is too risky, a military tactic. It’s best not to use it twice in a short period of time. I suggest that everyone raise their flags and cook with big fanfare after dawn. Soldiers are free to make noise, sing and drink."

Jonessa was shocked and said, "Master Will, in this way, Earl Ellenwood will know our arrival, and Earl Ellenwood will know about our rush march."

Mrs. Laura said, "Master Will, why are you not afraid that Earl Ellenwood knows we are here?"

"When we suddenly appeared on the top of the hill, Earl Ellenwood must be surprised. He definitely did not dare to attack us out of the city and would only choose to stick to it." Will said, "Since we are safe, there is no need to hide it. "

"My lord, how are we going to break the city?" Jonissa frowned.
