Count Gogenreth asked Princess Arrene to give the order to pursue the enemy.

The enemy's ships are too large, which is a weakness: they are inflexible, and Dorne's men can use wolf pack tactics, bite, and ram the bow.

All warships, the capital of the ship was installed with a ramming head.

The head is made of iron and has a tapered shape!

The victory of the Earl of Gogenreth also gave the other knights great confidence.

Earl Dart of Lemon Grove, whose territory and castle are located not far from Slatch, was the first coastal city to be sacked by Mance Red, the Grace City of the Elion family is also a large city that was sacked by Mance Red, and the Salt Coast City that was sacked this time, the three families are all very powerful nobles in the Dorne realm, and the victory of Gogenreth gave the three families a strong confidence in revenge, and the enemy was very strong, because they did not encounter the more powerful regular soldiers of Dorne.

In the town of Slats, where the enemy's navy won, there was only one military fortress, and there were no more than 100 soldiers in it. Although the inhabitants of Slatty Town are not weak in combat, they are not regular troops, they are fishermen after all, and they are seriously deficient in numbers, weapons, and preparations, and they were defeated by the enemy's sneak attack in the middle of the night.

The enemy has never lost a battle to sack the towns along the Green Blood River, which is not something to be feared, because the elite soldiers of these towns have already left, and they are stationed in the military fortress of Ellenwood, fighting several cities without a city garrison, and the strength is about 5,000 men, which is not a great thing, and can only be described as cunning.

The Earls of Elion, Gogenles, and Dart all asked Princess Aleen to pursue the enemy.

"The enemy unicorn army didn't show up, why? They deliberately lost to us for a while, and then hoped to lure us to the open sea for a decisive battle. ”

"Why not be here if it's going to be a decisive battle?" said Earl Dart.

"In a decisive battle here, we can go ashore at any time, and the enemy is the navy. "That's why I made sure the fleet was going along the coastline." On the sea, I don't think we will be an enemy of the enemy, but as long as we go ashore, we are the winners. ”

"Princess, you have ordered us to be defeated and not defeated, and you want to lure the enemy after us, and then we will go ashore?" asked Count Elion.

"Yes, we cannot defeat them on the sea, let alone annihilate them, without luring the enemy ashore. Princess Arrene said.

"No, princess, since the enemy is the navy, they will not go ashore, and we will only fight them on the sea. As you saw in the battle just now, we won a big victory. "Even if the enemy's unicorns are very powerful, they are only two hundred men and two hundred hands, and we can shoot them to death with only five hundred archers." ”

"Princess, Count Gogenreth is right, the first thing in naval warfare is bows and arrows, and the second is fighting, and we have 12,000 men, and we can draw 5,000 men to be archers, and 5,000 people will engage in close combat with the enemy, and once the enemy's ship is blocked, a thousand fishing boats can bite the big ship. Earl Dart said.

The other counts and generals felt that the Counts of Gogenres, Dart, and Elion were all right, and they all asked for battle, preferring to die at sea rather than waste time luring the enemy ashore. Moreover, the enemy had already been defeated in the first battle, and it was impossible to get them back and go ashore to fight the Dornish.

Seeing that there was no one to support her opinion, Alen had to agree with everyone, and she ordered the army to camp in the cities of the Salt Coast to rest, wait for the arrival of the thousands of Shama cavalry of the little prince Tristan, and then think long-term, and send ships along the fishing villages and coastal cities along the coastline of Dorne to collect warships, even the large merchant ships that passed through Doun, and requisition them and transform them into warships.

Princess Aleen was afraid that the Count of Gogenreth would be constantly agitating and fighting in the army, so she sent him to the city of Yang Halberd, and asked her father, Prince Dolang, to send grain and grass to the city of the Salt Coast, and when the grain and grass were in place, there were about two hundred warships collected, plus more small fishing boats, and then they went to sea to fight the enemy in a decisive battle.

The Count of Gogenreth had no choice but to leave the Salt Coast in a reluctant manner, and went to the city of Yang Halberd with his family's guards to urge grain and grass.

Earl Dart, the main warlord, was sent by Princess Arrene to collect warships, and all merchant ships passing through the waters of Dorne were to be requisitioned, and a royal order was passed down that all the fishermen of the fishing villages along the coastline of Dorne should bring fishing boats to join the princess's naval team.

The princess also sent Count Elion of Grace City with thirty small boats to go out to sea to reconnoiter the movements of the enemy's navy, find information about the enemy, and immediately release ravens to report.

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

Alene made up her mind not to fight the enemy at sea, she saw that the enemy's first battle was like a paper paste by the Count of Gogenres, which did not correspond to the real military situation, the enemy's warships did lose seven, but that was too exaggerated, and none of the seven warships were snatched for their own use, and most of the enemies on the battleships escaped on other warships, and not many enemies were killed, but the soldiers on the Earl's side were killed more.

The enemy had made great efforts to defeat them, and they were proud of their strategy, hoping that the Dornish would pursue them in great joy and then destroy them all in the sea.

The plan was so vicious that Alen decided not to fight the enemy at sea, where no one could resist the unicorn. But on the shore, the Sand Horse Cavalry will be able to fight the unicorns. Tactics are crowd tactics.

With an army of 200 unicorns, can you win with 5,000 sand horse cavalry?

Moreover, the enemy has come from afar, and it is the enemy who wants to fight quickly, not himself. The enemy's harassment tactics were successful, but it was impossible for their army to break through the Irenwood military fort and enter Dorne. Unless the other party has a dragon.

After Arlene had arranged everything, she sent ravens to find out the situation: Ellenwood City, King's Mound City, Sandstone City, and sent ravens to deliver a letter to her uncle Red Viper, to learn about the Red Viper's advance, she was stationed in Salt Coast City, and entered the desert at any time, cooperating with her uncle's Red Viper's military campaign, and first annihilated Will's army of 8,000 men.

Destroying the army that entered the desert first, and then destroying the 5,000 men on the sea, was the strategy formulated by Alian. After these two groups of enemies were destroyed, it was too late for the army to return to garrison the cities of Wangzuka and Ellenwood.

The cities of Wangzuka and Ellenwood were easy to defend and difficult to attack, and no matter how large the number of enemies was, they could not take these two cities in half a year. Especially Wangzuka City, it is completely impossible to erect any siege equipment, even if they are given a year, they will not be able to take Wangzuka City.

Chapter 0913 of 2

While Princess Arrene sent the three counts to do things to stabilize the morale of the army, Will, James, Crow-Eyed Eurolen, Arya, Arrowarrow Angel, Countess Laura, Janessa, and Burns worked together to stabilize the city. The military fortress at the foot of Wangzuka Castle was self-defeating and chose to open the door and surrender.

Will counted his battles and had 4,000 soldiers, including 1,500 soldiers from the House of Bramont and 2,500 soldiers from the House of Manwudi. Will left the soldiers of the House of Bramont under the command of the Countess of Bremont, and incorporated the soldiers of the Countes of Manwudi into his army, with a total strength of 12,000 men.

Will sent Angay, Jaime, and Pence to lead 3,000 troops to defend Wangzuka City. There were 2,000 troops stationed in the city and 1,000 troops stationed in the military fortress below the mountain, both of which were under the control of Jaime. Burns and Jaime garrisoned the castle, and Angel led a thousand troops to garrison the military fortress at the foot of the mountain.

The city and the military fortress were easy to defend and difficult to attack, and three thousand people were enough to defend the city. Unless there is a dragon, it is impossible to break the military fortress of Wangzuka Castle and the mountain below, and it can only be attacked from the inside.

Will himself, Arya, Countess Laura, and Jonessa led 7,000 troops to attack the military fortress guarded by the Ellenwood family. Send Crow-Eyed Euren back to the sea with 2,000 warriors, and sail the warship to meet with Mance Red in the eastern seas, first cutting off the entire sea trade route of Dorne, and then destroying all the ports of Dorne, destroying or capturing Dorne's warships.

Mance Raid's navy will have the navy of the East Sea Lookout, the navy of Skaggs, and the navy of Crow-Eyed Eulen, which is already invincible in the waters of Dorne. This navy can go ashore at any time to loot and enter the sea before the enemy can react.

Will's plan was for Mance Red's navy to harass the coastal cities of Dorne, including the capital city of Halberd, day and night. All the villages and towns of the fishermen along the coast will be forced to cooperate with the navy of Mance Raid, or they will be forcibly emigrated to the north by the navy's boats.

The city of Wangzuka has been taken, and the path of the 40,000 freedmen army into Dorne has been cleared. The Tyrells of Riverlands got the news before Princess Arrien of the Salt Coast City.

Duke Mace Tyrell was overjoyed when he heard that Lord Will had taken the city of the mound, Riverbend and Dorne were feuding, and the two sides had been at war for many years because of the ownership of many lands in the Crimson Mountains, and the destruction of Dorne was the most important thing the Tyrell family wanted to do in a hundred years, after hearing that the army had been able to freely enter the territory of Dorne, Duke Tyrell did not inform Lord Will, and immediately ordered the entire territory to be conscripted, and the army of 50,000 must be assembled within a month. Under the leadership of Tully, he entered Dorne from the Crimson Mountains and assisted Lord Will in defeating the rebellion in Dorne.

Of course, the assistance is true and false, and it is true because Duke Tyrell did send troops to help the Prime Minister, and if it is false, the Duke's plan is completely different from Will's military strategy, and from the fact that he does not know the Prime Minister at all, it is true that he wants to benefit the Tyrells.

Dorne, who lost the Martell family, needs a new force to control, Lord Will is the prime minister of the Seven Kingdoms, and after the war, he will return to the Red Keep in King's Landing, and then go north to lead the Seven Kingdoms to garrison the desperate Great Wall, so, who will fill the power vacuum left by Dorne, and who has the ability to fill it?

Of course, there is only the Tyrells 'a mountain away'.

Will didn't know about Tyrell's military operations, and neither did the Free Folk generals who went south. They came from the north, and naturally they didn't care about the military deployment and arrangements of the Tyrell family.

*

The Free People's army was divided into two routes, one with 20,000 troops, and entered the Prince's Pass and the Bone Road from the Bend and the Stormlands respectively. Free folk warriors are no strangers to mountains, they have lived in the mountains since they were young, and the only difference is that the south is hot. Before entering the real territory of Dorne, all the freedfolk warriors gave up wearing armor, and marched barefoot in thin shirts and barefoot, although the speed of this march was not slow, but such an army had no protection against war.

The Tyrells' army, which was responsible for leading the 20,000 freedmen into the Prince's Pass, looked down on these freedfolk warriors more and more, but to the surprise of the southern soldiers, it was amazing that none of these freedmen had suffered from heat stroke due to the heat.

*

It is not far from the castle of the prince's pass to the military fortress of Ellenwood garrisoned by Ellenwood, less than three hundred miles. The only difficulty is that the road is not easy to walk, and the 7,000 troops can only walk.

Will, Countess Laura, and Janessa decided to take fifteen hundred of the Bremont family as the vanguard and rush to the city of Ellenwood to attack first. Countess Laura's soldiers were good at walking mountain roads, and Arya led 5,500 men to follow, these 5,500 men had the navy of Crow-Eyed Ullen, the navy of the Faman family in the west, and the warriors of the surrendered Wangzuka City.

Will, Lady Laura, and Ninessa's vanguard army arrived in a day and a night on the hill outside the military fort of Ellenwood.

It was not yet dawn, and it was the darkness before dawn.

The army stopped marching and rested on the spot.

Lady Laura said: "Lord Will, I suggest that you enter the fortress of Ellenwood disguised as Prince Quentin Martell, first kill the Earl of Ellenwood, and then raise the fire, and the griffon will help break the gates, and the inside and outside should be combined to take the city of Ellenwood. ”

Ninessa agrees with her mother's proposal.

Will shook his head: "Lady Laura, Ninessa, the news of our capture of Wangzuka City is likely to have reached Ellenwood City, so the method of impersonating Quentin Martell to enter the city is too risky, a military tactic is best not to be used twice in a short period of time, I suggest that everyone raise the flag after dawn, bury the pot and cook with great fanfare, and the soldiers can be free to make noise, sing and drink." ”

Jonessa was shocked and said, "Lord Will, in this way, the Earl of Ellenwood will know of our arrival, and the Earl of Ellenwood will know about the arrival of our rapid march." ”

Lady Laura said, "Lord Will, why aren't you afraid that Earl Ellenwood will know that we are coming?"

"When we suddenly appear on the hill, the Earl of Ellenwood must be alarmed, he will not dare to go out of the city to attack us, but will choose to hold on. Will said, "Since we're safe, there's no need to hide it." ”

"My lord, how are we going to break the city?" said Ninessa, frowning.
