Chapter 0888 The White Lion Flag is unstoppable
Argo returned to the army with Delia.
Three scout teams, and none of the other two teams returned.
Ago's team returned unscathed.
The scout brothers, who had drunk mare's milk, all woke up the next morning.
Inside the tent of the Chinese army, the atmosphere was tense.
"Judging by Dillia's statement and the fact that the other two scouts didn't come back, we should be on three sides," Varys said. ”
Sir Duck said: "It is not terrible to face the enemy on all three sides, but it is terrible that the people of the whole steppe regard us as enemies." ”
"The people of the steppe misunderstand us, and Kao tells them that we have come to conquer and slaughter them. The people of the nine free trade city-states are foreign to the Dothraki. ”
Harry Stryclan, who has a home at home, said, "We should stop advancing, dig trenches, put antlers, set up chariots, prevent the Kao from attacking us, and wait for Queen Daenerys to return." ”
Everyone agreed to General Harry's suggestion.
In the steppe, the infantry is the mainstay, and without the assistance of dragons, the infantry is the target.
So, the trumpets sounded in the camp, and the whole army stopped advancing, camped on the spot, and arranged a defensive line.
Jorah Mormont became the commander-in-chief of the whole army.
The wagons and oxcarts that carried grain and grass were all pushed to the front, and they were first arranged in a car formation.
The Dothraki had only cavalry, no infantry, and the best way to prevent them from shooting arrows from a long distance was to block their rain of arrows with a chariot formation.
The second step is to dig a trench in front of the car formation.
The trench should ensure that the horses cannot cross it in a single leap.
It doesn't need to be deep, as long as the horse can't jump over it, and it can restrain the horse's rapid charge.
The third step is to place the antlers on the outside of the trench.
Antlers, which are made of wood sharpened into antlers of deer, are placed densely on the ground, so that the attacking cavalry cannot approach the defense of the camp.
The front army, the middle army, and the rear army received the order, knowing that there were enemies on the three fronts, and that the people in the entire steppe had already regarded them as enemies, so everyone did not dare to slack off, and began to deploy according to the orders handed down by the general.
Jorah Mormont ordered Sir Duck to lead five hundred cavalry to the east to scout at a distance of no more than one mile (about ten miles), General Argo to the northeast with five hundred Cass to the northeast, not to exceed one league, and General Harry of the Queen's Knights to send five hundred cavalry to the southeast, not to exceed one league.
Jorah Mormont led her own team of guards and built two towers behind the army's defensive chariot formation. The tower was planned to be twenty meters high, with archers and sentries stationed on it to monitor the surrounding situation day and night.

Together with Dillia, Jogo, and Lacarlo, Argo led the Kas cavalry in the direction of Dogo Kao, the most powerful cavalry in the army, made up entirely of Dothraki.
Dila was well aware of the situation of Dogo Kao's legions, and the cavalry could reach Dogo's camp in a day. It's just that now the entire grassland people regard this army as their enemy, and they will pass through many villages along the way, and these villagers are hostile to this team. When there are many people, these villagers will not attack, and once there are few people, or when Doggo's legion comes out, these villagers are the enemies who intercept Ago.
Argo gave up the idea of leading the Kas cavalry to raid the camp of Dogo Kao, and if he really wanted to go, he had to slaughter the people of a dozen villages along the way, leaving them no chance to cut off the back route.
However, this will further anger the people of the steppe and worsen their hostility, which will be detrimental to the future unification war.
Ago and Dilya arrived at Dilya's village, where all the villagers were gone, and the whole village was empty.
Leaving Chogo and LaCarlo to camp here with five hundred Cass cavalry, Argo decided to go with Dila disguised as herdsmen to Dogo Kao's camp to reconnoitre. The two men changed their clothes, and Argo also left the keel bow, taking only a normal bow, Arrak's scimitar, dagger, and dagger, and set off with Dilya.
Half an hour later, they saw a procession in front of them, not herdsmen, not merchants, but cavalry, about a few hundred men, coming this way.
Seeing that the other party's banner was not in disorder and that the procession was in order, Argo judged that this was Dogo's vanguard, and he immediately turned back with Dilla, but the general of the opposing side saw their strangeness, so a pair of scout cavalry roared out and came to pursue them.
Argo took his bow and arrows in hand, and Dilya hastened away. Seeing that the other party was chasing after him with shouts, Argo turned over and shot an arrow, and the pursuer screamed and fell off his horse. The other pursuers were furious and attacked with arrows. Argo retreated and fought, shot three scouts in a row, and killed three scouts, and the rest of the scouts knew that Argo was powerful and did not dare to approach.
The general in the back saw it, drew his scimitar and gave a loud order, so hundreds of cavalry scattered and pursued Ago and Dillia.
Argo and Dila did not dare to fight, and fled wildly. Behind him, hundreds of cavalry were in hot pursuit.
After these hundreds of cavalry, there was the overwhelming Chinese army of Dogo cavalry, a total of five thousand people, and Dogo and his blood alliance guards were in the middle army. Behind the Chinese army, there were 3,000 rear troops.
Dorgo Kao was the defeated man of Drogo Kao, who had been defeated three times in three battles, from 30,000 to less than 10,000. Argo had told Delia that Dorgo was their defeat, that is, when he was a warrior under Drogo Kao.
Hundreds of horsemen pursued the two horsemen, using outflanking tactics, but Argo and Dillia were superb in riding, and Argo saw the opportunity early, and for a while, hundreds of pioneers were difficult to catch up with Argo.
But this team is also a fierce rival, and it will not let up.
Argo and Dila each had only one horse, and they could not change horses when they were tired, but the hundreds of cavalry of the opposing vanguard army had two horses each.
Hundreds of horsemen pursued the two men on the steppe, and the sound of horses' hooves and whistling was loud, alarming Dogo Kao of the Chinese army, as well as the Kas cavalry stationed in the village.
Five hundred Cass cavalry poured out, led by two generals, Chogo the Long Whip and La Carlo the Scimitar.
The vanguard cavalry of the opposing party saw the Dothraki who suddenly appeared, and they were flying the white lion banner of Drogo Kao, as well as the three-headed dragon banner of Queen Daenerys, and the cavalry of the three-headed dragon Dogo had not yet understood the power, but they had only heard of it, and were not afraid, but they were very familiar with the white lion banner of Drogo Kao.
Drogo Kao's white lion flag was a nightmare for them.
The whip Jogo, the scimitar Lacarlo, and the arrow Argo are no strangers to fighting Dogo's army. The five hundred Cassians were equally familiar, and they had not lost once against the army of Hauttogo.
Each time it was a great defeat for the army that killed Dogo Kao.
When the white lion flag was rolled out, and the five hundred Cass rushed out with shouts, the momentum of Dogo's forward cavalry stagnated.
The forward general himself immediately reined in the war horse!
As soon as he stopped, the cavalry around him reined in their horses.
The enemy lured the enemy with two people, and then suddenly rushed out so many cavalry, all Dothraki, was this the most common ambush trap used by Drogo Kao before?

Chapter 0888 The White Lion Flag is unstoppable
Unlike Dorgo Kao's forward general, Daenerys' Cass cavalry roared out and charged.
The shouts are like thunder!
The white lion flag hunted and followed the two generals, Jogo and Lacarlo, and charged fiercely.
Dogo's forward army suddenly loosened.
As soon as the general stopped, the sharpness of their hundreds of warriors was immediately suppressed.
As soon as the white lion flag was raised, they immediately turned against it, and the Cascades roared in, which was the tactics of the Drogo Kao people familiar to the cavalry of Dogo Kao.
Led by Jogo and Lacarlo, with a white lion flag behind them, and under the fluttering banner, five hundred Cass cavalry rushed straight into the enemy line like a sharp knife.
The wedge formation that is easiest to kill through the enemy formation.
The two generals, Chogo and LaCarlo, are the tip of this sharp knife.
In just a moment, arrows rained down!
Dogo Kao's forward general resolutely turned his horse and fled.
His soldiers immediately collapsed.
On the battlefield there was an immediate shift in form.
When Dogo Kao's vanguard met Drogo Kao's army, it was like a mouse seeing a cat.
Argo and Dila returned to their main formation, and with Argo's keel bow in hand, he immediately gave the order, and the team was divided into two, without any confusion, into two wedge-shaped formations, straight into the enemy army that was defeated without a fight.
Arrows rained down, and enemy soldiers fell one after another.
Argo stared at the opposing general, and the keel bow stretched out his bow and arrow, and an arrow shot at the galloping horse, hitting the general's back.
The Dragonbone Bow is extremely lethal!
The long arrow pierced the general's body, and the general was still on his horse, already dead of exhaustion.
The general fell, and Argo shot a second arrow, knocking down the opponent's banner officer.
Dogo Kao's 'Arrows and Knives' banner fell.
Jogo and LaCarlo's legions rushed into the rout, their bow weapons replaced with Arax scimitars, and the melee slaughter began.
Argo led another team to charge along the flank, driving the scattered enemy soldiers into the middle, and he and his brothers around him were unable to miss arrows, and the enemy soldiers were planted one after another.
Without encountering any resistance, the enemy's vanguard corps shattered like an egg of iron.
Dogo Kao was rewarded by scouts in the Chinese army, and Drogo Kao's White Lion Banner vanguard routed his striker. Dogo Kao immediately ordered the march to be halted.
None of the messages received by Kao have any information about Drogo Kao. They only know one thing, Daenerys led the alliance of the nine free trade city-states and tens of thousands of slave soldiers to conquer the Dothraki, they are not afraid of the alliance of the city-states, and they look down on slave soldiers, but they are afraid of dragons.
That's why they mobilized their entire population and hid their army. Their army dispersed among the villagers, dividing into three lines with the help of woods, hills, and lakes, and they thought that the target for gathering was too big. The smoke of the prairie that attracted Daenerys all the way was also the tactics of the steppe people and many Kao.
As long as the dragon is not there, they will come to slaughter slave soldiers and city-state alliances.
But they never knew that Drogo Kao was also in the army. Drogo Kao would not have been with the slave soldiers and the city-state coalition, and if he had been resurrected and healed by the High Priest of Valantis, he would not have abandoned his horse and infantry.
This is an insult to the Dothraki.
The Dothraki looked down on those who could not ride horses, and were as proud as Drogo Kao, who would never be with the infantry.
Frightened by Drogo Kao, Dogo Kao is reluctant to fight against Drogo Kao again.
He fought three fierce battles with Drogo, killing more than 20,000 warriors and enslaving more than 50,000 tribesmen. Now the entire tribe fears Drogo Kao, and as soon as they hear his name, they will stay away from it, and will never go to war with Drogo again.
Soon, scouts and fleeing vanguard soldiers arrived to report that it was indeed Drogo Kao's army, and there was no doubt about it. Although there were only five hundred cavalry, all of them were Dothraki, and they held high the white lion banner, they were skilled in horsemanship, they came and went like the wind, all of them were sharpshooters, they had already routed the vanguard legions, and swooped down on the army.
Dogo Kao made a quick decision, and the army retreated.
As soon as the order to retreat was given, the morale of the entire corps immediately collapsed.
The warriors reined in and just wanted to leave as quickly as possible. But the army at the back was logistics, wagons and ox carts full of grain, and it took time for thousands of carts to turn around.
Determined that it was more important to preserve his strength, his 30,000 warriors were killed by Drogo, and less than 10,000 were left, and at least 50,000 of his tribesmen were captured as slaves.
With less than 10,000 men now, he is no match for the scheming Drogo Kao.
Since Drogo Kao was in the enemy's army of 100,000, his cavalry was deliberately hidden. With Drogo Kao's fame and strength, it is very easy to gather 120,000 subordinates with a single shout.
Moreover, Drogo Kao is most often used for all kinds of tricks, always raiding in unexpected ways, which is difficult to guard against.
If this cavalry team did not have a stronger ambush or support, they would never dare to rush into battle with a few hundred people.
Dogo immediately gave the order, and the ranks dispersed, retreating in different directions, retreating to converge in the hills behind the Horde base camp.
So, the three Kou took their own 1,000 cavalry and fled backwards in three directions.
Dogo Kao ordered the flag bearer to put down the flag of the Chinese army, and he led a thousand henchmen to escape from the middle lane, and his blood alliance guard opened the way in front of him, and shouted at the soldiers behind him to quickly give way, and if the way is slow, cut and kill with a scimitar!
Argo, Qiaogo, and Laclos scattered the opponent's forward army, approached the opponent's central army, and saw the opponent's dense cavalry team, before Argo gave the order to retreat, he saw that the other party had reined in their horses, and the flowing water was divided into several strands, and they fled backwards.
So, without the slightest hesitation, the five hundred Kass cavalry shouted, with momentum like rainbows and arrows raining down, pursuing this team of five thousand people.
There was no need to engage in battle, the opposing army collapsed, and the cavalry scattered and fled, like ants blowing up their nests!
