Apocalyptic Dragonborn Lord

Chapter 415 Great Expedition

The knights' assault attempt failed this time. The lances in their hands had been cut off one after another, just like their morale was gone forever. Their invincible charge did not smash the opponent's infantry formation as usual, but served as Their opponent's infantry screamed like chicken blood, and it was extremely detrimental to the knights to continue fighting for this.

The young knights had already begun to retreat under the command of their experienced captain. It was difficult for them to fight a protracted battle without the coordination of infantry, and because of their unauthorized charge, there was no coordination between infantry and cavalry, resulting in a big connection error.

After Kiweene's army was defeated by a single blow, most of the cavalry began to leave the battle and return, leaving only a small number of knights to continue the final charge to Stannis' position. Although Stannis appreciated such courage, but There is only one response to this kind of mindless behavior, so that he won't be too hotheaded to take risks with his noble status as the king's body, and play heads-up with the gang of knights who have already killed their eyes.

He just rode on the horse, watching countless soldiers in helmets around him slowly move forward, knocking the knights off their horses with their spears, bows and arrows, Stannis looked at the gang of knights like a big devil The knight in bright armor with a sharp sword in his hand cursed and died at the hands of his younger brothers.

With the annihilation of the last small group of knights, the first day of battle ended with a small victory for Stannis. Those knights lost their troops in front of Stannis' spears because they did not obey the orders of their marshal, including Jianfeng Laban. Nia killed more than 500 cavalry in needless battles. Although it was irrelevant to the overall situation, Stannis and his men taught the enemy a lesson, don't underestimate anyone on the battlefield.

In the next two days, Garcia's army never took the initiative to cross the river to launch an attack, and the two sides began to enter a long confrontation again.Stannis did not relax his vigilance. He kept sending his scouts to patrol along the river to prevent the enemy from secretly building ships to cross the river upstream and downstream. Marshal Warren on Garcia's side also raised his exemption card. The food and grass made him take the initiative to retreat.

This veteran who has been fighting for decades is really sharp-eyed, because he himself led a temporary army, especially those rebellious knights in the western region who always disobeyed orders, so he accurately judged that the food on Qi Weini's side was already stretched. .After all, Stannis' territory has only been developed for a short time, and it is obviously beyond his ability to support so many troops. Stannis now relies on buying food on credit from greedy merchants, which also makes him absolutely unable to retreat. As a sign of being passive, those businessmen who cannibalize people will definitely abandon him and move everything in his territory to pay off his debts.

So even if he gritted his teeth, Stannis must persevere. He believed that what he entrusted to Robert would bring a turn for the better in this battle.

Sure enough, a day later, Stannis stood on the hillside near the river bank, bathed in the summer wind, and looked at the chaos in the opposite camp with eyes admiring Noh.

Because those lords and knights who came out to fight for Garcia all received the news at the same time that their territory had been captured!
Sure enough, Stannis lived up to expectations. Headed by the Marquis Mitic family, eight lords who were sent to die in the last White Expedition suddenly launched an attack. The frontier raised troops, bypassed the duchy to defend their garrison, and went straight to the hinterland of the western border, because most of the lords there led their troops to call on the Duchy of Garcia to go to the far east to fight against the rebels, resulting in an extremely empty defense , Eleven castles and two cities were conquered by this army.

Therefore, those lords in the military camp who learned that their hometown was blown up on the spot, they asked Marshal Warren angrily why the Principality did not fulfill their duty to protect their families when they went out to fight bloody battles, most of them immediately Said that he would lead the army back and would not fight for Garcia again.

Of course, Marshal Warren could not agree. Retreating now would mean the collapse of his entire front line. If Stannis took advantage of the situation to cover up the killing, the consequences would be unimaginable. As a veteran who has followed Duke Garcia for 20 years, Marshal Warren must not just watch the Garcia family His hegemony fell away.

But the lords of the western region obviously didn't want to sit here and watch their territory be looted. They even planned to launch an armed riot and forcibly rush back to the western region.

Seeing that the people in Garcia were about to start their own internal strife, Stannis laughed so hard that his stomach hurt. His younger brother's mission was completed very satisfactorily. Not only did he successfully persuade the Mitic family to raise troops, but he also made rapid progress, almost fighting around the western border. After a round of back and forth, Seaworth boasted that they had Tanis's number one intelligence network. It was not for nothing. They had already figured out where the defenses were most lax and they could insert them accurately.

Now that Garcia's menacing attack has begun to disintegrate, it is Stannis' turn to fight back, but this time he is going to play a big game, and resolve this war that will determine the ownership of the world within ten days!
Stannis received accurate information. After endless quarrels, Marshal Warren finally softened his attitude. He agreed that the lords of the western region led the army to return to rescue, while he and the remaining Garcia regular army stayed to guard against Chiweene's army. , although their number still has more than double the advantage, but their morale has been lost, and they are unable to launch an attack. They can only hope that their enemies can run out of food and grass and retreat by themselves.

Stannis' plan was half-finished, and now he was about to begin his final, and most daring, step.

He will leave all his troops to continue to confront Garcia's main force, attracting all their attention, and he will only lead a small number of people to personally capture Garcia's heart. , The reign of the Garcia family will also sound the death knell!

Although the benefits of this battle plan are huge, as long as the city of Tist is captured, the world will be established in one fell swoop, but this plan is too risky, not to mention that the royal city has not been captured for more than 200 years, the last time it was the closest The near fall also resulted in the downfall of the Rebel coalition, and Stannis did not have enough men to launch an attack.

But Stannis has made up his mind. He no longer wants to see the enemy repeatedly in city after city. Although Anya alone supports his plan, this is enough. The winner will get everything, and the loser will never again. Someone will remember it!
