Chapter 494 The Two Armies Confront Each Other

However, Duke Tywin's worries about the city of Deep Caverns are actually unnecessary.

The terrain of this kind of mountains is indeed not suitable for the more prosperous cavalry of the Second Targaryen Legion. The Second Legion trained by Oberyn is mainly cavalry, and the soldiers are all skilled in bowing and horses.

This is actually a very obvious style of the Dorne army. Dorne's rich desert horse breeds have an advantage in the cavalry competition, and the second army is dominated by Royna people, so it can come and go like the wind.

In places like Deep Cave City, if you attack the castle on the mountain, even a small amount of troops can stop the attack of the large army. Although Oberon has placed suspicious soldiers to confuse Tywin, he will not really use this as a breakthrough. That would cost too much to fight, unless his brain was broken.

In fact, the more intelligent people are, the more they pursue excellence and perfection, otherwise it will be too unchallenging for such intelligent people and will not be able to satisfy the secretion of dopamine.

Oberyn was not only pursuing victory, but even the lowest price and the most glorious victory.

"quick!"

"Everyone, run faster!"

A few days later, this game of racing against time finally had a preliminary result.

Targaryen's army moved faster and rushed to Red Lake in the blink of an eye, and the Lannister family's army was not slow to respond. Duke Tywin quickly dispatched his troops to return, and at the same time sent a message with a raven, ordering to stay in Kai. Rock City's cousin, Steve Lannister, led the rest of the army, and even the garrison of Lannis Harbor, rushed to the Crane Hall to support.

Oberyn's speed was one step faster than Tywin's, but not as fast as Steve, who was already on the road.

So the two armies confronted each other by the Red Lake, and a small-scale conflict broke out.

"kill!"

The horns were melodious, the hooves roared, and in the shadows of swords, lights, and swords, the generals of the Targaryen army took the lead in prancing horses and spearing.

"Barbarians of Dorne! Go to hell!"

At this moment, a tall, strong, bearded man wielded a mace and killed Oberyn in the crowd.

Stefan Lannister's expedition this time naturally not only brought the soldiers of the Lannister family, but also brought many troops left behind by the nobles in the West.

Anyway, the Iron Islands have been reduced to a ghost, and there is no need for guards in Lannis Harbor, nor do they need it.

The second son of the Earl of Crane Hall, Ser Lil Kreich, nicknamed 'Strong Pig', slaughtered at Oberyn. He was tall and strong, and his nickname alone could tell.

Lile Kreich considers himself to be incomparable brave, and this is also the motto of the Crane Hall Kreich family, "incomparable brave", the family coat of arms is a black and white wild boar on a brown background.

Although he once lost to Jorah Mormont of Bear Island in the Lannisport Tournament that put down Greyjoy's Rebellion, Lile doesn't think it's his fault, but that the sun was too dazzling that day , so that you can't see clearly when you charge.

Oberyn also saw the other party, but his face showed no fear, and he licked his blood-stained lips slightly, feeling the pungent smell of blood between his lips and teeth.

"Humph."

Then the red poisonous snake smiled coldly, and also killed Li Le.

"kill!"

Then Li Le roared, and the two weapons collided heavily.

bang——

Oberon felt that his tiger's mouth was slightly numb, and he was almost not thrown off the horse's back, but Oberon's riding skills were also very superb. Then he turned his head again.

"A lot of strength."

"Sir 'Strong Pig' deserves such a nickname."

Oberyn recognized the other party and shook his numb palm, still teasing with a playful smile on his face.

Oberon and his sister Elia used to follow their mother north to the West to propose marriage when they were young. They stopped at the Rag Chicken Hall for a short time, but when they recalled their past memories, they naturally thought of their innocent sister at that time.

The smile on Prince Dorne's face slowly faded, and of course Ser Big Pig didn't want to catch up with Oberyn.

When the two Oberyn siblings were guests at the Rag Chicken Hall, he even wanted to propose to Elijah, but because of his size, he was mocked by Oberon's vicious tongue, which made Lile depressed for a long time.

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Lile Kreich once again swung the mace and killed Oberyn, but this time the smile on Oberyn's face disappeared, leaving only the gloomy coldness.

Then, between the two horses, Oberyn showed no mercy, and the spear, like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter, easily passed through Lil' Kreich's throat, and in his wide eyes he took his The corpse was raised high and flung to the ground, splashing dust.

Prince Dorne easily killed the most valiant general in the western army, Sir "Strong Pig", on the battlefield. This move hit the morale of the western army.

In the end, the corpses of the western army left a place and returned to the camp. The two sides temporarily stopped fighting, and the Targaryen army also chose a flat area by the Red Lake to set up camp.

"Legion Commander!"

In Targaryen's barracks, Oberyn unloaded his blood-stained armor with the help of his squires, and a soldier hurried to report.

"The Corn City has been captured by Earl Evan Pass. Lord Evan asks you how to deal with the Swift family."

"kill."

As Oberyn walked towards the direction of the tent, he said lightly.

"Yes."

The messenger immediately retreated to convey the order, and then another officer ran over to report.

"Lord Legionnaire."

"The reconnaissance force captured several prisoners during the battle with the enemy, possibly for interrogation."

Oberyn ignored him and opened the tent, and all the officers sitting inside stood up and said in unison.

"Lord Legionnaire."

Then he waited until Oberyn sat on the chair and touched his chin before speaking.

"You should interrogate yourself first, and let me know the result."

"Yes, my lord."

Then the officers of the reconnaissance force also withdrew.

At this moment, the officer in charge of the logistics force in the tent stood up and reported.

"Sir, logistics is here"

The Targaryen army has strict military discipline and clear rules, and problems are reported to Oberyn only when they are summarized.

Everything was handled in an orderly manner, and the efficiency was much higher than that of the rest of the armies of the Seven Nations.

On the other side, after the battle, the western army retreated to the main camp.

As the commander-in-chief of the entire army, Stevor Lannister also had a group of aides and nobles. A large group of people sat together, their voices were noisy and chaotic, looking at a letter sent by their cousin, Duke Tywin.

In the letter, the Duke of Tywin asked his cousin to lead the army first and foremost to keep down the Crane Hall, and then to fight the Targaryen army.

If you can avoid the battle, try to hide away from the battle and wait for him to come.

Although there is no explicit statement in this letter, it almost shows the distrust of Stevo's ability on his face.

There was some confusion in the big accounts of the Chinese army, and the nobles were sitting together.

"This"

The plump Lannister commander's face suddenly became slightly embarrassed.

"Lord Tywin asked us to step back, my lords... what should we do?"

Then he looked left and right, seeking the opinions of the rest of the nobles and knights.
