In front of the roaring warriors, there were hundreds of carriages lined up together, and there were wooden puppets in armor on the carriages.
They would act as the imaginary enemies of the centaurs.
Three thousand cavalrymen were charging over.
"Light arrows, ready." The female khal Danny suddenly shouted. She let go of the reins and stood up from the saddle. She took out an arrow from the quiver hanging on the saddle, nocked it, and drew her bow.
The little silver horse under her seemed to be connected to her mind. It changed direction without slowing down and streaked past thirty meters in front of the carriages.
"Shoot!"
"Whoosh —"
Danny shot out an arrow without aiming at a specific target. It flew into the sky in a parabola and landed on a carriage.
She then quickly took out a second arrow and shot it out.
"Shoot!" The thousands of cavalrymen behind her shouted at the same time. Then, they did the same thing as her, riding their horses and shooting.
"Buzz —" There was a muffled sound of bowstrings vibrating. In an instant, the sky darkened. Arrows rained down on the carriages that were used as targets.
Sister Lemore stood on a hill and saw the entire process.
The centaur cavalrymen were like a flexible snake that slithered in front of the carriages. Their movements were smooth and fast.
It was as if all the cavalrymen were controlled by a single will.
Starting from Dragon Queen to the last cavalryman leaving in an arc in front of the carriages, it took about two minutes. Then, two minutes of continuous arrow rain fell from the sky above the carriages.
What was terrifying was that the density of the arrow rain was uniform. There was no more and no less.
This meant that the three thousand cavalrymen were maintaining the same rhythm as Dragon Queen.
Then, they shot two more times at high speed.
They used a short arrow and a heavy arrow respectively.
Then, the cavalrymen disbanded. Kalixi brought the Blood Alliance into the carriages to check the effects of the attack.
Three different types of arrows were used for the three mounted archery missions: light arrows with bamboo shafts; heavy arrows with thickened arrowheads, which were armor-piercing arrows; and short arrows made of thin brambles. The arrowheads were shorter, but heavier than the light arrows.
The Blood Alliance Guard Rakarov reported to Kalixi, "The light arrows fly the furthest, and the armor-piercing arrows have the shortest range. But the light arrows have almost no killing power. They can only pierce through one layer of leather armor. Most of the short arrows could pierce through leather armor, and a few could even pierce through mail armor.
Only the armor-piercing arrows are effective against plate armor and arc-shaped shields, but their range is limited. Over fifty meters, they have almost the same effect as short arrows. "
"What suggestions do you have? Is there any practical use in using the three types of arrows together? "Danny asked.
She was learning from the Mongols.
The Mongolian cavalry was equipped with two bows and three types of arrows.
The shape of the armor-piercing arrow changed according to the enemy's armor.
One was a normal bow for the horse, and the other was a more accurate bow for the horse.
However, the invincibility of the Mongolian cavalry did not only depend on two bows and three types of arrows. Danny could not just copy it mechanically. She had to consider the actual situation.
Moreover, she only had a smattering of knowledge about the Mongolian army's formations and weapons. It was all written on television, so she couldn't be sure if it was true or false.
Blood Alliance Guard Qiao Ge said, "In the Sea of Grass and the other Khalasas of the Khal, there is no strict categorization of arrows. We also have curved blades! If arrows can't solve the problem, then rush up and use a scimitar to solve it. "
"What if the scimitar can't handle it? Cut off the braid and surrender? "Danny asked.
"If the scimitar can't handle it, a hundred types of arrows can't either." Qiao Ge patted the steel scimitar at his waist. "The scimitar is the ultimate weapon."
"Think about the battle of the Unsullied. Three thousand Unsullied defended Kholor. If we were to equip armor-piercing arrows on a large scale and use the tactic of circling the enemy to wear them down, would we lose and become a laughingstock in history? "Danny said with a straight face.
She felt that the reason why the Dothraki did not equip armor-piercing arrows was purely because they were poor and did not have enough fine iron to make armor-piercing arrows.
"Khaleesi, I have an idea." Kui Luo stepped forward and suggested, "We Centaurs only have light cavalry. This is not right.
I think we can use a mixture of light cavalry and heavy cavalry. The light cavalry will ride and shoot at the front to disrupt the enemy's formation.
Then the light cavalry at the front will bypass the enemy's formation, just like what Khaleesi led us to do. This will give space for the heavy cavalry at the back to charge.
The heavy cavalry will charge at the enemy's scattered formation.
Finally, the light cavalry will circle around and follow behind the heavy cavalry. They will use their scimitars and bows to finish off the ground that has been plowed by our heavy cavalry. "
Danny looked in surprise at the centaur youth who was beginning to grow a black beard on his upper lip. In just two short years, this youth who was the same age as her had not only grown taller and stronger, even his intelligence had begun to increase.
"Centaurs are not cowards. They cannot hide in their armor," Rakkalou muttered.
Danny looked helplessly at her bloodrider and said, "Rakkalou, if it were two years ago, I would have explained it to you. Now, two years later, you are still saying such things. Aren't you a little too stupid?
You are the same age as Kui Luo, and you are not as big as him. How can your intelligence be inferior to his? "
Kui Luo was nearly two meters tall, and his chest was as thick as a wall. He was one size larger than the two bloodrider.
"He eats dragon essence every day. Of course, he is tall. The people in the Megalosaurus' guard are all big," Rakkalou said.
"Really?" Danny looked at Kui Luo in surprise.
"It seems that dragon essence makes us stronger, and perhaps smarter. However, I have been learning mathematics and history from Scholar recently. It is more likely that learning has made me smarter, "Kui Luo said uncertainly.
Danny looked at Rakkalou and said, "Look at Kui Luo. He is so self-aware, even knowing to learn from Scholar. Even if dragon essence is effective, it is far inferior to serious learning. "
"Kui Luo, you are the leader of the chiliarchs." With that, Danny promoted the Megalosaurus guard.
"Jogo, Rakkalou, each of you lead a thousand-man team."
Currently, her khalasa had five thousand people, barely able to gather three thousand Srac Roaring Warriors.
Before today, the entire khalasa only had one chiliarch, Danny. Jogo and Rakkalou helped Danny manage the khalasa as bloodrider, but they were not chiliarchs.
Danny still had another bloodrider. The most quick-witted and level-headed Agger was arranged by her to lead the militia and tens of thousands of Gislaus to farm.
Agger did not need a thousand-man team. He himself was the commander of the militia (Golden Dragon Banner). His official position was the same as the guard's Jon Bolton (Red Dragon Banner), the Unsullied commander Grey Worm (White Banner), and the Wings of Liberty's Scarface Simon (Blue Banner with Black Wings).
In addition, Kui Luo was also the commander of the Wings of Liberty's heavy cavalry. He had five hundred iron guards under him who were responsible for protecting the queen on the battlefield.
These were only the regular troops, numbering close to fifty thousand.
However, in this period of great agricultural production, the regular troops also needed to farm. They did not have as heavy a task as ordinary farmers, but at least they had enough food to eat.
Seeing that the centaur knights beside Danny had dispersed, Jiqi rode over and reported, "Kalixi, someone is looking for you."
Fifteen minutes later, Sister Lemore and Danny rode side by side to the Worm River, with only Jho Ge and Jiqi by their side.
"Ding Ling Ling, Ding Ling Ling …" With every step the little silver horse took, the bells on Danny's braid rang crisply.
"Your Majesty's achievements in battle are truly illustrious. I'm afraid that in the Dothraki Sea, there are few khal bells that can compare to yours." Lemore complimented.
"How can they be compared to Kalixi?" Jiqi's tone was disdainful. "Kalixi crossed the Red Wastelands, defeated the Immortal, defeated the Pirate King You Lun, conquered Astapor, and swept away more than a hundred thousand Gislaus …
Other than You Lun, any one of her deeds is enough to become a legend in Horse King City. "
"The alliance will bring more bells to Kalixi," Jho Ge added.
Looking at the confident faces of the two centaurs who seemed to regard the alliance as nothing, Lemore did not know what to say.
"Kalixi, you should go to Horse King City and let those khals who betrayed you know the wrath of the True Dragon," Jiqi said agitatedly.
"Yes, you should take back the troops that Khal Drogo left behind. Someone has fifty thousand Roaring Warriors and a hundred thousand Khalasar. Taking care of the alliance will be as easy as killing a sheep, "Jho Ge said.
"Qiao Ge, you …" Dani sighed as she facepalmed.
This Jho Ge really has no foresight at all.
In front of outsiders, he revealed more than half of her plan to deal with the alliance.
There was another important reason why she chose to fight under Meereen City that she did not tell anyone. After she conquered Horse King City with her dragon, she could lead hundreds of thousands of Roaring Warriors to destroy the alliance's chrysanthemum. The north of Meereen was connected to the heart of the Dothraki Sea.
"Sister Lemore, may I know why you are looking for me?" She immediately changed the topic.
"For Prince Aegon." Lemore's expression was calm, and it was impossible to tell if she had guessed the Dragon Queen's plan.
"Oh, what about him?" Danny asked curiously.
"Are you suspecting his identity?" Lemore asked.
"I don't trust the Eight-Clawed Spider."
"It's right that you don't trust him. Prince Rhaegar also doesn't trust him." Sister Lemore nodded.
"But Princess Elia is involved in Prince Aegon's matter."
"Are you sure?" Danny frowned.
"Lemore is not my real name. I am Princess Elia's female companion, and I grew up with her. Before King's Landing fell, Her Highness sent a request for help to Starfall City, asking me to help her raise Prince Aegon. "
Lemore's voice was calm, but her words were like a bomb in Danny's head.
Her pupils contracted, and she said uncertainly, "You are Ashara Dane, the sister of Dawn Swordsman?"
No wonder the simple gray nun's dress could not hide this woman's grace. No wonder she was still so beautiful even though she was almost forty.
So she was Ashara Dane.
She was the most dazzling woman in the Herren Castle Tournament back then, a peerless beauty who attracted Barristan and Eide Stark's bootlickers.
"Yes, I'm Ashara. I'm sorry, Your Majesty. I didn't mean to hide my identity from you. It's just that other than Barristan, no one can prove my identity, and I'm not as famous as Sir Clinton. "Ashara said apologetically.
No, you're far more famous than Clinton.
Arthur Dane's sister.
Barristan's crush.
Eide Stark's rumored girlfriend.
Prophesied child Jon Snow's rumored mother.
When I passed by Dorne, I even went to Starfall City to pay my respects to the White Stone Sword Pagoda that killed you.
You're very famous!
"Everyone said that because of Sir Arthur Dane's death, you were heartbroken and jumped off the White Stone Sword Pagoda to commit suicide." Danny probed.
"Your Majesty, Arthur's death indeed saddened me, but other than my second brother, I still have an older brother and a younger sister. The news was spread by the Eight-Clawed Spider. He has the ability to make everyone believe his lies. "Ashara smiled bitterly.
That makes sense.
Danny was deep in thought.
Arthur was the second son, so he went to King's Landing to be a White Knight.
Just like the White Bull, Jeno Hightower, he was the uncle of the old man in Old Town, and also the second son.
Barristan, on the other hand, really viewed glory as his life.
As the only son, he would rather give up his title, territory, and fiancée to his cousin in order to pursue the path of a Legendary White Knight.
Since Arthur Dane was not Ashara's only relative, she did not need to be heartbroken.
