The flight of some of the soldiers caused the morale (rì) of the remaining soldiers led by the king to weaken, and Rhaegar was at a loss for what to do.

It wasn't that he hadn't considered killing the deserters to save the situation, but the problem was that the reason why the king had gathered together now was because of Rhaegar's personal charm, and if he ordered the deserters to be killed, it would probably have an even worse effect on the already low morale, and directly lead to the collapse of the remaining troops.

Every day of stalemate, Wang Lingjun is getting weaker, or it won't be long before Wang Lingjun will collapse without a fight. Therefore, there are only two options in front of Rhaegar to fight, fight or withdraw.

From the bottom of his heart, Rhaegar didn't want to attack, let alone retreat, but the king's army under his command was melting like ice exposed to the sun.

The lesser of two evils, retreat? This is indeed a good idea, and a thought even flashed through Rhaegar's mind: fraud! The occurrence of deserters (qíng) is now well known, and there is no reason why Robert's rebels would not know.

If you feign a rout, what if you attract Robert to attack?

It was a clever idea, but Rhaegar ultimately rejected it. Because today's Wang Junjun simply does not have the conditions to execute such difficult tactics.

If he retreats too neatly, Robert will definitely not be fooled, and if he retreats too chaotically, with the current state of morale, the deception will directly become a real rout!

Besides, if you want to play deception, do you want to tell all the soldiers?

"Brothers, we're just cheating! Don't run around, the action is numb! "If you tell ordinary soldiers in advance, they may not be able to perform the kind of effect they want.

If you don't tell them! If they do come and are defeated, and then they are pursued by Robert, they will really be self-defeating!

God knows how this battle will be recorded in the history books at that time, maybe it will leave Rhaegar with the nickname of "self-defeating Rhaegar ", wouldn't it become a "Westeros Zhao Kuo" who has been laughed at for thousands of years?

Therefore, sometimes it is not necessarily that the generals are brainless, but in combination with the actual situation (qíng), many good ideas are not feasible at all (xìng), and if they are not good, they are self-defeating, so we can only use some stupid methods that seem to our descendants to be quite stupid.

Not only does this mean that Rhaegar can't play such a difficult tactic, but it also means that he can't retreat easily, and God knows if Robert will catch up when he retreats, and if he abandons the mouth of the Green Fork, it will mean that the rebels can reach King's Landing, and there is no danger to defend this way. (It's not that there really aren't castles to defend, the problem is that there are no castles that can accommodate 40,000 people!) If only a few hundred people can be stationed in the military district, and the walls are only 5,6 meters high, how long can such a castle last? What's the point? ）

The only option in front of Rhaegar was to attack first, and although he didn't want to, it was his only option! At least that's what Rhaegar thinks.

In fact, Rhaegar had other options: first, retreating would not necessarily lead to a rout if Robert caught up with him. Secondly, it is a good idea to build fortifications on the spot, both to prevent the troops from fleeing and to defend against Robert's attack, which will not be the first to attack in order to interrupt Rhaeggar's fortifications.

But at this moment, Rhaegar only had the idea of attacking in his mind. Why? This is actually the habit (xìng) of drama (qíng).

Let's ask Han Xing to come to Westeros for so long, what has he really changed? What should be happening or is happening, and the biggest change is the Blue Lane? Tully died, and "Broken Heart" fell into the hands of Han Xing, who helped Robert win the Battle of Cen Shu Tan and preserve the vitality of Robert's army.

But wasn't the battle of Cen Shutan because of Mace? Is Tyrelll's propaganda remembered for his resounding victory? The union of Ed and Caitlin was brought forward, and Robb was born early, but did this really change the general trend of the show (qíng)?

No, it's just that what should have happened (qíng) has been brought forward, sooner or later, what should have happened will still happen, this is the habit of drama (qíng) (xìng).

So the play (qíng) blinded Rhaegar and made him make the decision that should have been made in the original play (qíng) - to take the lead in attacking Robert's army.

In the original play (qíng), Rhaegar rushed to attack the Robert army because of the large number of people, trying to take advantage of the fact that the Robert army was not firmly established and had not yet fully converged with the reinforcements in the Arryn Valley.

Now Rhaegar is because of his low morale and (rì) gradually declining, so he can only take the lead while he still has a little morale, lest he really have no strength to fight in a few days.

The decision-making level on the side of the rega (shēn) is basically based on Barristan? Selmy and Levine, Prince of Donne? Martel, both of whom are Kingsguards, (shēn) are warriors and bodyguards, they are first-class, and (shēn) are generals but not necessarily qualified.

To put it simply, they are superior in force, but their intelligence and commanders may not be easy to use. They also noticed the declining morale of their own troops, and when they heard that Rhaegar was planning to attack first, there was a hint of hesitation in Prince Löven's eyes, but the "fearless Barristan" had already rushed out.

A master of the rush, "Fearless Barristan" is a first-class warrior, he is more like a sword, invincible, courageous, and loyal and obedient, so that how to use this sword depends on the owner of the sword, but Rhaeggar's orders are exactly what he wants.

As a result, Wang led the army to begin to dispatch, and Rhaegar deliberately scattered 20,000 defeated soldiers and 10,000 recruits in an attempt to improve the combat effectiveness of the troops in this way, otherwise the recruits would likely collapse once they were in trouble. But I'm afraid he'll soon regret this decision!

He divided the 30,000 men into 10,000 as the left flank, 18,000 as the center, and 8,000 Dorne as the right flank. He led a total of 4,000 noble knights to suppress the formation.

The whole king led the army to fly with flags, countless colorful flags and coats of arms hunted in the march, and Hao Hao (dàng) (dàng) killed the Robert army on the opposite bank.

———————————————————————————————————————

"Rhaegar has finally emerged as a shrunken turtle! Hanschel, didn't you say 'whoever goes down the river first loses'? Now we can attack Rhaegar, right? Robert looked at Wang Lingjun, who was arranging in the distance, with a happy face.

Han Xing said with a black line on his face: "What I said is 'don't take the lead in attacking'??????" Robert waved his hand indifferently and said, "Almost! That's what it means, anyway! He turned to Ed again, "Right, Eddard?" ”

Without waiting for Eddard to answer, he turned to the large group of nobles in the tent, "My lords! The tent immediately quieted down, these aristocratic lords have been eating, drinking and having fun these days, they seem to have come out for an outing, it is lunchtime at this time, and there are many nobles holding chicken legs or lamb legs in their hands and gnawing their mouths full of oil!

As a result, when they heard Robert's speech, they immediately stopped as if they had been buffed with time stillness, but the grease dripping from the corner of the mouth of one of the lords betrayed them.

The things in the tent stood still for a second, and then went through a storm again before they calmed down again. This is because the old men are busy putting down the food and wine glasses in their hands, and then making a serious appearance of sitting upright.

"My lords, the royalists have begun to assemble, and we should immediately set up for battle!" Robert's voice was especially loud in the quiet tent.

Of course, the nobles have no objections, the real decision-makers are only Ed and Robert, after all, they are the highest level, aren't they? Besides, since Wang Lingjun has begun to assemble, how can there be time to quarrel! If they are still quarreling now, when the royalist army led by Rhaegar comes up, they will have to cry!

So the nobles and lords in the tent began to hustle and bustle towards the outside of the tent like frightened beasts, ready to go to the armor and let their soldiers set up the formation.

The nobles of the Stormlands were much calmer in this group of lords of the bustling North, Valley, and Riverland, as if they were reefs in the tide, looking at the nobles of the three places with great interest.

When the nobles of the three regions squeezed out the big tent, they continued to play with the silver carved wine glasses in their hands for a while, and took a few sips of red wine before slowly starting (shēn).

Of course, they were qualified to do so, because most of them had already become bare-bones commanders, so naturally there was no need to rush to gather troops. Even those with soldiers were accustomed to Robert's "overall planning" of the Stormlands' army, after all, Robert's outstanding performance had been proven in many previous battles, so they almost unconditionally obeyed Robert's command.

They only need to be like knights and fulfill their duty to fight, and I have to say that the fighting qualities of the nobles of the Stormlands have indeed been trained in many battles before!

Seeing that the group of nobles of the three regions who were hurriedly urging the attendants to quickly give their armor to themselves (tào), especially one of the nobles of Hejian Land, it was obvious that they had eaten too much, so that the stomach (tǐng) boss could not wear the armor, and his face was red in front of everyone's eyes, and the beads of sweat the size of beans on his forehead fell straight down, and he was so ashamed that he wanted to find a crack in the ground to drill down.

Seeing that the nobles of the Stormland had already put on their armor one by one, standing proudly (tǐng) with their heads held high, and the quality of the nobles of the Three Lands and the nobles of the Stormland was high, Robert did not laugh proudly.

Han Xing misunderstood the reason for Robert's laughter, and thought to himself: "What kind of laughter, your virtue in the future is not much better than others!" ”

It took more than ten minutes for the nobles of the Riverlands, the North, and the Vales to arrive at the battlefield "in full clothes". By this time, Robert had already completed the formation, and the royalist army on the opposite side had already begun to cross the mouth of the Green Fork River.

If this group of masters is allowed to organize the troops, I am afraid that they will be able to reluctantly organize a loose formation until Rhaegar rides his face. Of course, half an hour has passed from the beginning of the formation of the royalist army to the completion of the deployment of the rebel army, which is also a helpless matter! After all, it is tens of thousands of people, and it is not a matter of time and a half to organize it, not to mention that the feudal system in the Middle Ages is inherently prone to chaos in the military structure.

Of course, not all nobles were "late", in addition to Han Xing and Ed, Robert, and Roy, there were more than a dozen nobles who also arrived in time, such as Luce? Earl Bolton, Earl of Karstark, most of them are from the North, and perhaps because of the coldness of the North, their armor is easier to wear? Or because they wear more clothes in the flat (rì), they are more experienced in putting on and taking off clothes, and they are not necessarily more proficient!

In any case, this fateful collision between Robert and Rhaegar is destined to go according to the original script!
