Chapter 0910: Princess Arrene Martell, a genius of the heavens

The griffin appeared, and the whole city was in an uproar.

The boulder fell, and the entire inner city barracks immediately collapsed.

The griffon falls, sweeping away the ant-like soldiers, disemboweling like a sharp blade through the leather, and attacking with claws like a tiger beating a rabbit.

With a shout, the gates of the city were opened, and countless people rushed in like a tidal wave.

At the forefront of the giant axe was Crow's Eye. The fierce soldiers around him all have a big axe, and they cut down anyone when they see it, and no one can stop them.

One will ride on a sand horse, and the arrows will not be missed, and the high ground will be far and near, and one will fall when the arrow is out.

On the city wall, the defenders who were struggling to support the city were immediately defeated.

"Count Manwudi has surrendered, brothers, those who lay down their arms will not be killed!"

Some of the brothers threw down their weapons and fell to their knees.

The soldiers besieging the city were like a tide, and the streets of the city were like a dry river, and the tide poured in, naturally diverted into the river, and soon filled the river.

Only half an hour later, the outer city was taken. Two thousand surrendered on their knees.

Half an hour later, the inner city was taken, and five thousand men surrendered.

Five thousand defenders, one thousand and a half thousand belonged to the House of Bremont, two and a half thousand surrendered, and a thousand were killed.

While Will and Jaime, Arya, Crow-Eyed Euron, and Arrowarrow Angel led 8,000 soldiers to take the city, Red Viper was marching into the desert with his 15,000 troops.

There were indeed traces of the enemy ahead, but they were indeed cunning, marching fast, and advancing in the direction of Sandstone City. The prince led the Shama cavalry in pursuit, and after half a day, he realized that more and more things had been discarded along the way. The Red Viper was overjoyed and ordered the whole army to pursue it with all its might, for the enemy was tired and was not far ahead.

There are two paths to Dorne into, one except for the Prince's Pass, and the other is the bone path.

While Will was attacking Starfall, Mance Rader and Shanna were attacking Slatted Town and heading north along the River of Green Blood, taking down several cities overnight, and the unicorn legions met little resistance wherever they went. The defenders of these cities were gone, and the cities were empty, so they had to surrender without a fight for fear of being slaughtered.

By daybreak, the army laid siege to the great city of Divine Grace, at the mouth of the upper reaches of the Greenblood River and at the junction of the Woe and Vance rivers. After no attack, the city of Divine Grace was broken, and all the nobles in the city who resisted were killed, and those who surrendered were taken away all the way, regardless of men, women, and children. All the food and property in the city that can be carried to bed are carried onto the ship, and those that cannot be moved will be given to the local civilians at the first order, and as long as the civilians dare to enter the city to carry things, they will all be allowed to take them.

However, in an hour, the huge city of divine grace was looted, and all the large items that could not be moved were smashed into pieces.

Because there is a waterway, the boat can row directly from the mouth of the slatted town to the edge of the city of divine grace, this way of looting, robbing dozens of noble families, after the sacking of the empty city of divine grace, Mance Red, Shanna, and Asha did not set fire to the city, but quickly evacuated along the river.

Five thousand troops, all of them navy, are invincible in naval warfare. Unicorns fight in the water, and there are no real opponents. Mance Raid, who had plundered a lot of food, supplies, weapons and armor, was not in a hurry when he withdrew, beating gongs and drums, and there were singing and dancing soldiers on the deck of the ship to celebrate, and the people on both sides of the strait also threw money and food from the ship from time to time, causing the people to loot.

Hundreds of boats, slowly leaving along the river of green blood. They paddle along the banks of the river and down the river, as if they were afraid that no one would know their whereabouts.

The daughter of the prince stationed at the bone road is Princess Arrene Martell, who received a raven from her father, Prince Dolang, before dawn. Aliane did not panic, although Yang Halberd City did not have many troops, but it was easy to attack and difficult to defend, and the residents of the city hated the same enemy, and their loyalty was very high, and the enemy had thousands of troops, and it was difficult to break through Yang Halberd City in a short time.

The military fortress of Bone Road is no longer a fortress, but has been developed by the Ellenwood family for several generations, forming a large city. However, in the beginning, it was built as a military fortress, and although it was later built into a large city, it was still called a fortress and was not commensurate with a city.

Princess Arrene Martell is the commander-in-chief of Ellanywood Fortress and the commander-in-chief of the Great Army. After receiving the raven information from Prince Michiro, she almost did not move.

For no other reason, she didn't see the enemy's intentions.

With 5,000 troops, the enemy will not be able to take Dorne. Dorne is a large country that includes plains, mountains, and deserts, with only 5,000 troops, and it is impossible to capture any place. As soon as the army arrived, 5,000 men could only be strangled or fled.

And because it was a war launched at the mouth of the Green Blood River in Slatty Town, this shows that the enemy can retreat to the sea at any time. And in naval battles, Princess Arrene Martell is not good at it.

If the troops were withdrawn to pursue the five thousand, then the military fortress of Ellenwood would be empty. If the enemy had arranged for an attack on Fortress Ellenwood, he would have fallen for the enemy's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain.

If the enemy has 10,000 men, Aliane will immediately dispatch troops, but the enemy is only a few thousand people, and he has not attacked Yang Halberd City, Arlen believes that this is the enemy's harassment tactics, the real military intention, or on the bone road.

When Alianne stood still, but within two hours, the nobles of the cities along the Green Blood River released more than a dozen ravens to Alianne to ask for help, and Aliane finally understood that although she understood the enemy's intentions, she still had to send troops to clear the enemy, otherwise, these 5,000 people would turn Dorne upside down.

Dorne was a city of numerous and vast land, but nowhere did the garrison exceed a thousand. Then the 5,000 army will sweep across the whole of Dorne as if it were no man's land.

After breakfast, Araine Martell sent his younger brother, Prince Tristan Martell, and gave him 5,000 troops, and told him to leave the military fortress of Ellenwood to strangle the 5,000 enemy troops who had entered Dorne from the Greenblood River.

Moreover, the army that Alenn gave to his brother was not elite, but ordinary ordinary soldiers, but gave them sand horses, all of which were mainly cavalry.

In Dorne, it is not a man who inherits the throne, but an older person who inherits the throne of Dorne, regardless of whether the elder is a man or a woman.

Arlene Martell is a princess and a woman, but she is the future heir of the prince of Dorne, and her royal authority is above her uncle Oberon, the Red Viper. Earl Ellenwood's military deployment was unbearable to Earl Ellenwood, but Arlene did not intend to change his plans, and he forced his disgruntled brother Tristan Martell to pursue the enemy with 5,000 horsemen with a combat strength.

Chapter 0910 No. 2 Princess Martell is like watching the fire and strategizing

From Ellenwood City to Divine Grace City at the head of the Green Blood River, the distance is more than four hundred miles, even if you run all the way, it is impossible to reach Divine Grace City in one day, and Princess Araine Martell's order is to let her younger brother Tristan go out to rescue first, but the cavalry must not march in a hurry, just move slowly.

Unable to accept the orders of his sister Arlene, Tristan ordered his army to leave the city with all heavy items, except for weapons and two days' worth of dry rations, and march in pursuit of the enemy.

So the five thousand soldiers were given the order to bring only two days' food and weapons, and the rest of the things were all thrown away, and the Shama cavalry swept like a strong wind, and went straight to the city of Divine Grace, hundreds of miles away.

Princess Arrene Martell heard that her brother had disobeyed the order, but she did not care, and she ordered the maester to send a raven message to her brother, telling him not to march hastily, lest he be ambushed by the enemy.

I have to say that Aliane is a very strategic and far-sighted military strategist, and Red Viper is a prince with very strong personal strength and high prestige, but in the overall situation, Aliane is even more powerful than his uncle and father combined.

She saw that Mance Red's forces were not attacking, but mainly harassing, and what was the purpose of the raid?

If it weren't, the thousands of people from Slatty Town would be meaningless.

These 5,000 people did not kill civilians, which gave Alene little pressure, and the nobles did not kill all of them, as long as they surrendered, they did not kill, but they just took the whole family and made them hostages, which shows that the other party no longer kills, and intends to conquer.

And to conquer a place, you must first win the hearts and minds of the people.

The Martell family has been in Dorne for thousands of years and is deeply rooted, and as long as the Martell family is there, the other party's trick is useless. Whether it is a commoner or a nobleman, it is impossible for outsiders to fight with the Martell family.

Sending 5,000 men in pursuit of the enemy, but only for the sake of the enemy and her people, Alen decided to increase the ambush on the bone road, and at the same time sent out the news that she would lead her army to flank the enemy from another way.

The so-called virtual reality!

At noon, ravens flew from the direction of Starfall City and Gaoyin City, burning Starfall City, Gao Yin City fell, and the enemy distributed the land and money to the local people, which gave the confident Aliane a head-on blow.

She didn't expect the enemy to be a tripartite soldier, and their intelligence system only got the news that a large army came from the Bends and the Stormlands.

These messages are reliable, some of them coming from the Red Keep in King's Landing.

The Martell family had good relations with many nobles, not in the recent past, but in the early days of the Targaryen dynasty, with some of the older families. The king changed his lamp, but the ancient family has always occupied a very important position in the kingdom from generation to generation, and the ancient family has been interconnected with each other for thousands of years.

However, this time the news was all consistent, which shows that the opponent also knows the rules of the nobility. Kings come and go, nobles stand, and under the water, there are many secrets that are not known.

Arrene Martell sensed that he had met a real adversary, Lord Will, the Prime Minister of the Seven Kingdoms, a man who was said to be a thief.

Alene couldn't sit still, five thousand enemies came from the east, eight thousand from the west, and thirteen thousand enemies were enough to sweep through the entire rear of Dorne, because she and her uncle had concentrated most of Dorne's forces on the two roads of the Crimson Mountains, which gave the other side an excellent opportunity to attack the cities in the rear.

For every city lost, not only the hearts and minds of the people were lost, but also food, weapons, armor, money, and nobles - the nobles either surrendered and were taken away by their families, or they resisted and were all killed.

If the two armies behind them are not stopped, Dorne will be in turmoil and the people will be unstable, and the soldiers stationed in front will learn that all their families have been taken away and the city has been sacked, and there will be no nobles to guard the bone road and the prince's pass with peace of mind.

The enemy was too clever to force Arrene Martell to return to battle!

Alene immediately abandoned the heavy garrison of the bone road, and instead ordered the Hellenwood family to defend the Hellenwood fortress for three months, and not to be breached by the enemy.

Ellenwood knelt on the ground and swore that he would lead Ellenwood's soldiers to garrison the bone road for half a year. Within half a year, the road to protect the bones will not be lost, and after half a year, there is no guarantee.

Arrene Martell accepted the Earl of Ellenwood's military order, and together with her uncle Oberon, she left the military fortress of Ellenwood with a total of 10,000 elite soldiers and went to the Green Blood River to strangle the invading enemy.

*

Prince Dolang of Halberd City sent a scout party with ravens to the Green Blood River, just on the shore, not far from Mance Wood's fleet, following Mance Wood's fleet all the way.

When Mance Wood noticed the scout, they did not care, and did not send men ashore to pursue them, but continued to carry food and supplies down the river of green blood.

In Slats, a navy of three hundred men took control of the entire port.

Mance Red's army achieved the first target of attack, and the attack on Divine Grace City was their final mission, and then transported the victory products out of the port along the Green Blood River, and sent them to the cargo ships that had been parked here for a long time, and transported these food, weapons, cloth, tents, armor, and all other materials to the East Sea Wang of the Desperate Great Wall, and replenished them into the material warehouse of the Desperate Great Wall.

*

Alen hurried forward with 10,000 elite soldiers, and sent a message to the entire town of Dorne that the army had come to strangle the next year, and to reassure the people and nobles. But she turned the road halfway, and went east, not south, but east, and came to the seaside before dark, and in the fishing village by the sea, she collected fishing boats and merchant ships as a princess. Ariane's prestige is extremely high, second only to the Red Viper and Prince Daolang, and is deeply loved by the people, and the news came that the coastal villagers have volunteered to join the princess's army, and in one night, thousands of small fishing boats were collected, and 10,000 elite soldiers were put on board to sail along the coastline of Dorne to cut off the back road of the enemy army in Slatch.
