Chapter 101 Who Will Be the Pioneer?
The stars in the sky are reflected on the silver lake. When the breeze blows, the water surface ripples like fish scales, and the halo breaks into stars.
Ofer, the clerk buried in the parchment scroll, lay down for a while. He looked at the horizontal stripes carved on the table, which represented the thirty-third day they came to the Silver Sea to station, and it was just six months after the army drill. Sunset.
Before he closed his eyes, Maester Bass Potter had already begun to snore. Through the light of the bonfire, he could vaguely see two bloodriders standing motionless outside the tent.
Finally, he finally fell asleep under the maester's sleep and the breeze, and it seemed that he kept hearing the sound of the horn in his ears.
Later, he suddenly woke up. The maester was still sleeping, and the bloodrider guards outside the tent disappeared. The bright moon shone brightly through the gaps between the tents, and the wind stopped.
He could hear hoarse laughter and rapid horse hooves not far away, mixed with the sound of metal collision. The sound slowly disappeared and seemed to be heading towards the center of the camp.
A head suddenly popped out of the tent door, and Ofer sat up alertly. Only then did he realize that it was a Bloodrider guard wearing armor. He walked into the tent, looked at the steward, and whispered:
"Your Excellency, Kaa summons you and the bachelor to rush to the central tent."
Ofer immediately stood up with his hands and feet, but the uneasy feeling still did not leave his heart, and even became stronger.
He walked quickly to the bachelor's side and gently woke him up. After a brief conversation, the two quickly left the camp and disappeared in the light of the fire.
——
Dawn wakes up after a long night's sleep. The gentle dawn shines on every leaf, and the cool wind brings smiles to the swaying dewdrops.
Looking from a distance, the green waves are undulating, and the entire grassland is as spectacular as a sea of flowing gold.
It was still early in the day, and there was still a cool breath in the air. The stewards of thousands of households on the left and right wings were already waiting in front of Kaa's central tent.
When Blood Alliance Guards Lieutenant Qianhu Nohat opened the tent door, they walked in in an orderly manner, led by Ofer and Bass Potter.
"Ves Dothraki has sent out troops, and two hundred thousand troops are marching towards Silver Lake." After everyone sat down, Mengge, who was studying the map, turned around and shouted.
The atmosphere suddenly became heated. While he was speaking, he was also observing the expressions of the leaders of each thousand households. The affairs officer and the bachelor had learned the news last night, and their expressions did not change at all.
Seeing other people's eyes showing excitement or surprise, he nodded involuntarily. In his opinion, this was a sign of military morale.
Hasha, who stood out in the army drill and temporarily led Wanhu on the left wing, drew out his machete and shouted angrily:
“Damn the old women of Doshkarin, they actually dared to take the initiative and ruined our plan to surround us without attacking.
"Don't be angry, everyone!" Meng Ge showed extremely calmness and said calmly: "In a sense, we do not have the strength to implement this tactic. This time it was just a coincidence. Moreover, the battlefield situation was changing rapidly, and the enemy noticed our attack in time. Plans and reinforcements are no longer possible.”
"What a pity, we could have easily won the victory." Hasha murmured, standing there blankly like a tree.
He seemed to have suffered a big loss, with a look of regret in his eyes. Others were the same as him, with more or less reluctant expressions on their faces.
Meng Ge looked at them and could indeed understand what they were thinking. He smiled and said:
"There are also true wise men in the Holy City. We must not overestimate our own combat power and underestimate our opponents."
After warning the proud generals, he ordered the maester to read the information that the spies had brought from Vaes Dothraki to everyone.
When he heard this information again, he couldn't help but have a strange smile on his face. He felt as if he was in the palace of Doshkarin, hearing the lies about fighting for power and all kinds of ulterior motives.
Even if the excitement and excitement has passed, he will still say: Dosh Kalin is a good teammate.
He originally thought that two completely different pieces of information would come out from the Holy City, and he would secretly conduct another spy war to verify who was more trustworthy between Bono and Mosokao, and whose news was true.
Unexpectedly, the two pieces of information were almost identical. The enemy's entire meeting was recorded in detail. Among them, Doshkarin contributed a lot to their humiliation.
Although the bachelor kept his words as short as possible, by the time he finished speaking, Meng Ge had already fallen asleep. He cheered up and said with a serious face:
"The Sarne River and the Great Lake can protect our rear, but they are not a magical weapon for victory. Moreover, this is the final decisive battle, and the victory achieved by defense will be meaningless. Based on the intelligence from the Holy City, I decided to take the initiative."
"Next, please be sure to follow my orders. Anyone who disobeys them will be killed."
Upon hearing this, everyone stood up and leaned over to say yes.
Meng Ge looked at everyone with his sharp eyes, and said loudly in an extremely solemn voice:
"Let me tell you about the plan of the Holy City first, so that you can know the situation we are facing."
"The enemy's total strength exceeds 200,000, which is almost twice our number. Among them are the two tribes of Ogo and Sauter. Together they have 80,000 warriors."
"Mosokao is the vanguard of the Holy City. He is our companion. Doshkarin forced him to serve as bait. Sotekao is a wise and brave man. You must be careful about this person. It is he who saw our siege. It was his intention not to fight that prompted this decisive battle, and it was he who proposed to march with the vanguard, because he knew that Mosokao's ten thousand cavalry alone would not be able to induce us to pursue. "
"The Holy City's plan is to lead us into the encirclement at the foot of the Mother Mountain through the defeat of the vanguard. This is a tactic we often use. This is how the Dothraki defeated the Salor hundreds of years ago."
"Great Kaa, please allow me to speak." As soon as he stopped, Harsha immediately raised his head, stood up proudly, and said loudly:
"The place where the enemy wants to set up an ambush is within the inspection range of our left wing. I have personally climbed over the mountains, rivers and grasslands here countless times and know every path there. The soldiers on the left wing are all brave and good at fighting, so please You allow us, Wanhu on the left, to be the vanguard and charge into battle for you.”
"Hasha, if your left wing knows the road there, then from the Great Lakes to Our Lady's Mountain, there is no land that our right wing is not familiar with. Without our attack in this war, the enemy may not even know the words "valiant and good at fighting". meaning."
"Yes! Whenever the Holy City's scouts leave the city, we rely on us to hunt and drive them away. If it weren't for our sacrifices, how could you sit back and relax, and how could you freely climb mountains and let horses roam on the grasslands?"
For many people, this was a completely new sight. The bachelors looked at the right-wing leaders in amazement and spoke angrily of their previous competition with the left-wing.
