Danny nodded first, then shook her head and said, "I roughly understand, but it's useless just to understand!"
I also know Newton's three laws, but I can't do meteorites falling from the sky and pulling everything in the sky!
"You're really talented!" The old man praised, "Jaime Lannister took half a year to understand part of it, and took another four years to reach the realm of lifting heavy things as if they were light. You should practice more in the future, and you should learn quickly. "
"I didn't expect the Kingslayer to be so powerful." Danny said in surprise.
Less than a tenth of the knights could do it, and there were definitely fewer in the second realm.
The white knight smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, you have to understand that the Kingsguard was really the highest honor of the knights back then. The seven white robed knights were definitely the strongest knights of the generation, and the seven of us all had the realm of lifting heavy things as if they were light.
Unlike now, the monarch doesn't look at the other party's martial skills or character, and completely depends on his own preferences, appointing people based on favoritism, and giving out the Kingsguard as if it were a palace title. "
Is that favoritism king me, or Joffrey?
Is it Jorah Mormont who is not qualified to be the Kingsguard, or the Hound who replaced your position?
"What realm is Big Bear at?" Danny touched her nose and asked.
"Jorah? Sigh, he's worse than you, barely able to move like an arm … "The old man said with a look of disgust," After dealing with the attack of the Gith Alliance, you should suspend his duties and let him learn from me for a few years! Knight's spirit is not up to standard, but at least his martial skills should be up to standard, right? "
Danny was dumbfounded and said in disbelief, "How can I be Jorah's opponent? Moreover, I think he's very strong, and many centaurs are not his opponents. "
"Your Majesty, the realm is only the level of skills, it doesn't equate to strength. Innate strength, speed, and the environment at the time, their respective mentality are all key factors that determine victory or defeat." Whitebeard said seriously.
"For example, the Sword of Dawn, Sir Dane had reached the extraordinary realm of gods, but he still died at the hands of Eide Stark …"
Speaking up to this point, the old man could not help but sigh endlessly, muttering in a somewhat perplexed manner, "Eide Stark is even inferior to Jorah Mormont in terms of realm, strength, and agility.
But how did he defeat Daybreak, who was number one in terms of strength, agility, technique, and mental state?
Fifteen years have passed, and the battle of the Blissful Tower is still a mystery. But I'm sure that Duke Stark is hiding something. "
Concealing the Child of Prophecy, Jon Snow!
As the two of them were talking, an Unsullied soldier hurriedly trotted over from the staircase.
"Your Majesty, the sentry has reported that the enemy is less than 100 kilometers away from us. They will probably approach the wheat field outside our manor tomorrow evening."
Danny walked to the edge of the wall and leaned over to look at the militia who were practicing spear thrusting in the People's Square. She sighed, "They're finally here. I've been waiting for them for half a month. The work in the farmland is almost delayed."
After receiving the news that the "anti-Dragon Mother" Guise coalition army had set out from Kaiyuan, Danny had carried out a "national" mobilization.
Apart from the Unsullied and the five thousand "Mother Of Dragons" guards, all families with brothers or adult sons, whether they were city dwellers or farmers, whether they were freedmen or Guise, were required to send a young man to serve in the military.
There were not many people. Excluding the families who had already joined the Mother Of Dragons' guards, a total of thirty thousand civilians were recruited.
The efficiency of mobilization was higher than that of the seven dukes, and the negative impact on production was also smaller. Every household had at least one adult man and one adult woman, and every manor was allocated cows and horses.
The Northern Region had a population of more than 500,000, and Robb Stark had only recruited 18,000 people. The agricultural production of the entire Northern Region had almost collapsed. Because the war had dragged on for too long, large tracts of wheat had rotted in the fields.
In the early hours of the next day, Danny rode her little silver horse and led five thousand Unsullied, five hundred Dothraki Roaring Warriors, four thousand Mother Of Dragons' guards, and twenty thousand civilians to the north along the coast.
The 18,000 people Robb took with him from the Northern Region were all soldiers. There were no civilians to escort the army's food. Part of the army's needs were provided by the dukes along the way, and the other part was sent to the countryside by scouts to rob the peasants of their food.
No different from the Japanese devils who went to the countryside to rob the peasants of their food, the people of Hejian also formed a guerrilla group — the Brotherhood Without Flags, which specialized in hunting down the northerners who robbed the people of their food and strengthened the women in the villages.
Well, as the protagonist of the play, how could Robb do such a crazy thing?
If he didn't do it, the army would starve to death.
In fact, as a standard noble disciple, Robb didn't care about the lives of ordinary people at all.
Westeros nobles almost didn't care about the lives of ordinary people. Even in the eyes of Barristan, who pursued the glory of the knights, as long as the king's war was just, the people should pay for the king's survival.
Duke Tywin was a little smarter than Robb. He hired a mercenary group from Kohor from the other side of the strait, the most notorious mercenary group in the world.
The mercenary group was also known as the Blood Troupe. There were more than five hundred Blood Troupes in total, and they were responsible for helping Duke Tywin's army collect food from the countryside.
In just a year or two of war, the once prosperous Hejian had been emptied.
Well, I digressed.
The civilians recruited by Danny were mainly responsible for transporting food, setting up camp, and digging trenches for the army. Only 9500 professional soldiers were actually involved in the battle.
The wheat on both sides of the road was already filled with milk, and the straw was starting to turn yellow. Farmers wearing straw hats could be seen on the ridge from time to time, holding scythes in their hands. Under the white sun, they stared blankly at the Queen's army that looked like a long dragon.
Perhaps, they were looking for their husbands and brothers in the convoy escorting the food?
100 Centaur cavalry were spread out five kilometers ahead, scouting the path for the main army.
Danny took the lead, walking at the front of the army. Today, she was wearing an inconspicuous greyish black armor. Helmet, mask, throat armor, plate armor, arm armor, skirt armor, leg guards, and iron boots. Everything was there, and there was not a single flaw on her body.
Even the little silver horse under her was covered in silver chainmail that covered its head and abdomen.
On her left and right were the brawny Bevois and the white-robed captain Barristan. The fat eunuch was also riding a horse today, and he was a mounted infantry.
Chora was responsible for defending the city, and Butcher Clyde had his own mission, so he did not come with them this time.
Behind Danny were the five thousand Unsullied led by Grey Worm. Behind the Unsullied were the four thousand Mother Of Dragons' guards, and behind them were the twenty thousand civilians pushing the cart and pulling the oxcart.
The army stretched for four to five kilometers, and the remaining four hundred Centaurs weaved back and forth, in charge of passing information and counting how many people were left behind.
It was not that Danny did not understand the principle of having provisions first before the troops and horses moved, but the key was that they were the defending side, and letting the civilians go first was like sending provisions to the enemy.
"Ta ta ta …" Under the scorching sun, the wheat sprouts and the orchard in front of them were distorted by the steam rising from the red dirt road, but Danny could still tell that there were Centaur scouts on the road.
"Report-"
Not long after, a Centaur dressed "strangely" came in front of the little silver horse.
Well, the Centaurs did not have their iconic Dothraki vest now, and Danny forced them to change into the same lightning rod helmet as the Unsullied, as well as light chainmail. There was a loaded crossbow hanging from the saddle on both sides.
Compared to normal Centaurs, they were really a little strange.
"Khaleesi, enemy scouts were spotted five kilometers ahead, and Agoko killed two of them with his bow and arrow."
"How far are we from the designated battlefield?" The voice came from behind the mask, and her tone was a little distorted.
"Eight kilometers."
"This …" Danny turned to ask her marshal, "Did we make a mistake? How did they run so fast, they were still 100 kilometers away from Astapor yesterday, and they are already at the poplar slope 20 kilometers outside the city by noon today? "
As early as five months ago, when the anti-Dragon Mother coalition was still brewing, Barristan had already considered today's situation, and spent half a month to personally check the terrain 50 kilometers outside the city.
The experienced general advised Danny to give up on the idea of defending the city, for three reasons: 1. The manors outside the city would be destroyed, and the enemy would have difficulty transporting provisions from afar, but they could easily get provisions from outside the city.
Of course, Danny could also use scorched earth tactics, but the price would be too high.
2. They would lose the initiative, and the enemy would be exhausted after a long journey of five to six hundred kilometers, so taking the initiative to attack was the best choice.
3. Danny's Unsullied and Centaur troops were suitable for field battles, and the open field was more advantageous for her.
Then, he took a fancy to a low hill 20 kilometers outside the city, a place called "Poplar Slope".
Poplar Slope was 100 meters above sea level, with a low slope that was advantageous for the enemy to attack downwards. The left side was the sea, and the right side was the coastal road, so the enemy could not avoid it.
There was a large poplar forest behind, which was convenient for logging and camping, and they could also use wood to build catapults.
According to the previous marching speed of more than 20 kilometers per day, today, they should not have suddenly crossed the distance of 70 kilometers and arrived at Poplar Slope ahead of them.
Hearing Danny's inquiry, Barristan did not panic at all, and his voice gave people a sense of calmness.
He said, "Don't worry, it should be just the vanguard, and there won't be too many of them. Let our cavalry move out and clear the scouts within 5 kilometers of Poplar Slope."
"All of them? Didn't you say there weren't many of them? "Danny was surprised.
Barristan smiled and said, "The other party's scouts must be mercenaries. Let's give them a show of strength first, and those mercenary groups may have other ideas."
"Surrender to me? They must have signed an agreement with the Gith. "Danny shook her head.
"Except for the Golden Regiment, all the mercenary groups have had many experiences of breaking contracts." The old man said disdainfully.
"Okay."
The order was quickly passed down, the centaurs shouted loudly, and the blue flag of the Mother Of Dragons Guards with white wings kept shaking. After a while, 2,500 riders followed the path opened by the infantry and quickly galloped forward.
"Long live the Mother Of Dragons, long live Queen Danny, long live the Wings of Liberty!" Every cavalry that ran past Danny shouted a slogan.
The 4,000 'Mother Of Dragons Guards' that followed Danny to the expedition, 2,000 light cavalry, and 2,000 longbowmen, had been trained in 666 mode for half a year.
Obviously, with a super infantryman like the Unsullied, Danny would not train any more infantrymen.
In the beginning, she also wanted to directly create heavy cavalry like the Westeros knights. Astapor not only lacked good horses and steel, but also had few qualified blacksmiths.
Ordinary horses could not carry armored cavalry, and a regular heavy cavalry needed to be equipped with three good horses in addition to a knight attendant with a horse. Otherwise, it would not be able to fight for a long time.
Well, a horse had to rest for half a month after a high-intensity sprint for an afternoon, or it would be in danger of being crippled. If a battle lasted for a long time, the knight would change horses halfway, and the man would not rest and the horse would rest.
