As the first human unit in the Ice and Fire World to engage in field battles with the Land-Grant Army, the performance of the Golden Regiment is remarkable, and it is not not not unremarkable, but what they encounter is not the ordinary shield-wielding infantry they imagined, but the first grenadier unit in the history of Westeros.

Although the artillery was installed, the murderous technology of the flowering bullet would not light up for a while, so Iger could only pull out the explosive bomb that had contributed to the war against the strangers, so that this simple but reliable weapon could continue to exert its residual heat.

The shields raised by the soldiers in the first row were not only to defend against arrows and swords, but also to prevent the damage of flying fragments to their own soldiers.

In the flash of light and smoke, countless iron nails, gravel, pottery shards and other lethal additives flew out with the explosion, making the people near the explosion point cry wolf howl.

The Golden Regiment is at the top of the ecological chain of the mercenary world, and the soldiers are naturally fully equipped, and the various armors commonly equipped by the regiment commander to the low-level soldiers are very effective in curbing the damage of most of the explosive fragments.

White smoke filled the air, most of the soldiers were dazed but still fighting, and the uninjured officers brandished their weapons and shouted orders to continue the charge, but they soon discovered one of the things that came with the explosion of the bomb - an unusually bad side effect.

The war elephants were frightened.

Elephants are powerful and intelligent beasts, and the intelligent individuals are said to have the intelligence of human children, but they are also sensitive creatures and have no greater courage in the face of unknown dangers than children. In order to train them to fight, trainers often do a lot of targeted preventive training...... After graduating from the series, they can be undisturbed by the drums of war, the trumpets, and the shouts of humans, and they can charge directly against the sea of swords and fires without fear, or they can continue to fight despite the skin wounds caused by arrows and swords and spears......

But no one has ever trained them in anything related to explosions.

The war elephant knights of the Golden Regiment knew that it was a rare advance of consciousness to block the elephant's ears before charging to prevent them from being disturbed by the cannon sound on the other side, but the sound insulation effect of cotton was average after all, and the "muffled thunder" on the other side of the river could not be compared with the sound that occurred on the soles of their feet.

In the rumbling sound, the war elephants, who were still imposing, hissed and walked in chaos. The roar around them damaged their hearing, the fire caused by the violent reaction flashed into their eyes, and the strong smell of the smoke stimulated their sense of smell even more strongly......

Everything that was happening was frantically triggering their somewhat sluggish but still existential instinct to perceive danger, and at this moment, the orders of the riders on their backs, and the safety of their fellow humans behind them, were completely forgotten by the war elephants, and there was only one thought left in their big heads: get away from this strange and unnatural place!

......

And to escape, the "barbed wall" made of giant black shields and spears by the land giver army in front of them is obviously not a good place to go, so the only options left are ...... side and backward up.

When the mercenaries, who were blown up in a daze, finally recovered from their vertigo, and were ready to continue to complete the last charge under the shouts of the leading officers, they found that the "step-elephant coordination" that had been perfectly coordinated a moment ago had collapsed, and the giant beasts at the front turned their heads and began to stride aimlessly in all directions, and the beautiful spiky cone formation condensed by reason and combat experience rushed into a scattered and scattered formation.

The three older, more experienced elephants also knew how to escape from the vacancy by bypassing "their own people", but the other younger, reckless ones simply turned around and squeezed into the crowd, crushed and trampled by their huge size, and the whole river beach was filled with the sound of cracking and screaming.

The surging golden wave shattered itself before it slammed into the black shield array. But their opponents will not show mercy, the first batch of forwards to cross the river each brought two explosive bombs, the grenadiers threw their two and the front shield hands two available, at intervals of a few seconds, the black army did not give the enemy the slightest chance to breathe, the first round of explosive bombs exploded white smoke has not yet dispersed, the second and third rounds of explosions also sounded intensively, the continuous roar from behind made the war elephants who had given up the charge run faster, not only broke the war elephant riders' efforts to stabilize the mood of their mounts, but also shattered the mercenaries' barely picked up courage and fighting spirit, the fourth round of explosion splashing ended, the melody of the charge horn sounded, and the shield wall fell forward in unison in a sudden sound, The soldiers of the land-giving army, who had almost no casualties, dropped their wooden shields and replaced them with spears handed by their companions, seamlessly switching from a defensive posture to an offensive one? With a ferocious loud cry? Kill the other side of the defeated army!

From the commander to the soldiers, everyone gave the Golden Regiment the same high-standard treatment as the ghouls, but the Golden Regiment's will to fight could not even touch the edge of the dead. In an instant, it fell apart, and was pushed back by the small mass of spreading black.

More than 900 of the 1,000 men who were still standing in the first charge began to flee, and soon affected the 500 archers in the second row, and in this way, 1,400 soldiers were scattered like ducks by the 200 soldiers of the land-giving army and fled back to the direction from which they came. Strickland, who was watching all this from a high place, was pale, ashamed and angry, and with an uncontrollable horror: he didn't blame the soldiers on the front line for fleeing at all, in fact, when the formation had collapsed, even if he didn't retreat to fight to the death, he would give people his head, and preserving his strength was the first priority of the mercenaries......

However, in this staggering ratio of fewer wins to more battles, it was the first time that the Golden Regiment played the role of the loser.

Fifteen hundred against two hundred can be fought like this, so if most of the land-giving army crosses the river, a few golden regiments will be enough for them to fight?

Two minutes ago, he was still regretting that the order to attack was given earlier, but now, he could no longer hold his breath: "Order, when the first wave of soldiers withdraw to their own position, the whole army will attack!"

The first batch of strange iron balls that the opponent brought across the river had been exhausted, and the originally tight defensive formation had also collapsed due to the pursuit...... Now is the best time to attack, as long as he is thick-skinned enough, he can claim that the previous 1,500 men are just bait to lure the enemy out of the hole—let the remaining 4,000 men rush away, eat the two or three hundred people who crossed the river quickly, and then withdraw from the battlefield as a whole!

The time to stop the enemy is too short, and the damage is pitiful?

Let little Aegon and those damn riverbend nobles go, it's their own family and hole cards that die!

The unique sound of the war drums of the Golden Regiment changed again, and all the remaining forty or so hundred-strong teams raised their flags and began to prepare with shouts and shouts, interspersed with a few panicked emergency evasions—dodging the collision of a few fleeing war elephants.

Using the entire Golden Regiment to attack only 200 enemies is a fresh battle order that has never been seen in the history of the legion, but the commanders of the various units who watched the first battle between the two sides did not dare to question and despise "killing chickens with knives". All of them were silently praying: hoping that the other side would not come up with any new weapons and means that they had never seen before, so that they could safely and securely kill the two hundred people who rushed over, and then completely withdraw from the battlefield.

But God doesn't seem to want them to do it.

"Dragon!"

"Dragon!"

"What's it called! It's so big, it's a human can see it!

Above the gradually drifting gunsmoke, under the gray sky, the two dragons that had hovered above the southern army camp and then fell into the industrial park on the opposite bank rose again, crossed the Heishui River and came to the sky above the halfway wedding site.

The psychological pressure caused by having such two big guys flying over their heads is really not small, but if this is the last resort of the other party, then Stryclan is really not afraid: compared to artillery and explosive shells, dragons are the expected opponents after all. No one is a fool, they all know that the troops left behind the palace are the most dangerous, the Hewan army left one-third of the dragon hunting crossbow to the golden regiment when evacuating, from the perspective of the number of people, their "per capita number of dragon hunting crossbows" is several times that of the Hewan army, and it sounds very embarrassing to eliminate hundreds of land-giving troops and then evacuate the battlefield, but if you shoot a dragon......

Even if it's not the one the queen rides, it's an incredible achievement!

......

On the Heishui River, three pontoon bridges were still continuously transporting soldiers from the land-donor army to the south bank; in the crunching sound, more than a dozen dragon hunting crossbows raised their bodies high and aimed them in the air; the first batch of rout soldiers fled across the river embankment into the main formation, and standing up were thousands of living forces with complete personnel and complete combat effectiveness...... The vanguard of the land-giving army, which had previously pursued the victory, also seemed to sense the danger, and after driving away the enemy, they returned to the southern end of the pontoon bridge in the order to collect their troops, and re-raised the wooden shield to rebuild the defensive formation—only because there were more friendly troops behind them, and they had to advance outward a little more than before the battle.

Those two dragons did not dare to descend.

After looking at it for a minute, Strykran judged that the other party was just bluffing, lowered his head to re-observe the battle situation, and prepared to launch a general attack after the troops entered the predetermined positions, but the shouts of the people around him interrupted his work again.

After searching around hundreds of meters in the air, Daenerys found the location where the Golden Regiment flag was most densely populated and the most staffed, and began to lower its altitude and swoop down there.

All the soldiers who controlled the dragon hunting crossbow held the launch mechanism on end, waiting for the dragon to fall into the effective firing height to see who could grab the legendary battle of dragon slaying, and even the regimental commander raised his head again and looked at the oncoming dragon.

The surrounding officers panicked to persuade Stryclan to dodge, but he shook his head and refused, the dragon overlooking the ground in the sky, how could he know that he was the most critical regiment......al commander? Besides, I didn't dig a bomb shelter, so where to hide under an area attack weapon like Dragon Flame?

He'd take a gamble that the Dragon-Hunting Crossbow could hit the dragons before they hit them before they hit them to their lowest point and start spewing dragon flames, or at least scare them out - fly back into the air!

The dragon flew at a great angle, and the height dropped from four hundred or three hundred, in fact, it was barely enough to reach about two hundred meters of dragon hunting crossbow, but the theory was only a value after all, even if it was lucky, it was difficult to threaten the demon dragon wearing scale armor + thick skin, so the crossbowmen everywhere calmed down and continued to wait, waiting for the height that could be sure to hit and ensure the killing effect.

But they didn't wait, the dragon flapped its wings and braked in the air before it could fall to the most dangerous height, and after a false shot, it climbed towards the height, and the crossbowmen who were about to miss the opportunity to hunt the dragon quickly pulled their wrenches and shot the long, heavy dragon spears out.

In the era before the invention of flying machines, there was naturally no opportunity to practice shooting in the air, and under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes with deep disappointment, more than ten dragon hunting spears all crossed a gentle parabola, flying far under the two dragons, and the nearest ones were more than two meters away, and not even a single dragon scale was knocked down.

In addition to sighing, hundreds of sharper eyes also saw this scene: the dragon did not really just flick a shot, but when it swooped to the lowest point, it did not know whether to release its claws or cut something, connecting two strings of ropes to something...... Thrown in the direction of the command of the Golden Regiment.
