The information of White Eagle can be mutually corroborated with the reply of Allister Earl. The authenticity and accuracy of the information have been confirmed.
It seems there is no need to delay it any longer?
Anyway, even if the two sides meet head-on, their side still has a chance of winning.
Titus pondered for a while, not wanting to delay it any longer, and decided to carry out his raid plan as soon as the sun goes down today.
He also left a back-up, his own troops, the Chinese army including a large number of the North people, to deal with emergencies.
For example, Mace boss is so awesome----
On the southern expeditionary side, the Canyon Knights will be the vanguard, the Dreadfort and Karhold on the left, and the Border Lords on the right will launch the offensive first.
Their main target has never changed, which is the culprit who "organized the siege of Storm's End" - Highgarden, who is also the Tyrell army in front of the enemy formation where Mace is located.
Black Earl convened his generals in the afternoon. This time it was no longer a small-scale meeting discussion, but an overall combat mission arrangement.
The number is no less than that of the nobles from all realms on the opposite side.
The ideological work has been done long ago. The lords and knights from Stormlands, the North, and Vale are gearing up.
Looking impatient.
Obviously, the three deputies have clearly stated the various "benefits" of beating the Reach.
The Canyon Knights have the smallest number, but their representative knights also show a strong desire and excitement for battle. Under the leadership of the Ninestars knights, they will be the first wave of heavy cavalry forwards to attack the Highgarden army.
They are very interested in educating the Reach people and letting them understand what a true knight is.
Roose Bolton and Gulian Swann on the left and right also learned about the opponents they were about to face from the Commander-in-Chief.
The two Earl didn't know the role of Wenda and the existence of Griffith. They only thought that the "hidden child" that Xing Shuo Cheng Earl had ambushed in the southern army early had played a role. In fact, it was not wrong to think this way.
As for Oldtown's Baelor and Goldengrove's Matus, both of them have seen it with their own eyes, and neither of them thinks that the other party will be an obstacle to their side.
According to the commander-in-chief's battle plan, once they have defeated their opponents, they will try to outflank the front army in the south, leaving behind Mace·Tyrell and his family's army.
The Canyon Knights are fierce and fierce. After all, their numbers are too small. There is no problem in overwhelming the opponent head-on, but they dare not say that they will never let go of tonight's important goal.
This requires the cooperation and assistance of the North and Stormlands people.
"----The family staying with Tyrell, as well as Cider Hall and the red and green apples of New Barrel City", the ones who support them are Old Oak and Green Valley City. If the siege battle goes smoothly, they will be "kept" together."
Everyone heard that the Commander-in-Chief had already investigated the opponent's specific arrangements, and they became more confident in the battle at night.
Titus nodded with satisfaction and slowly encouraged. "We are not attacking at night today. The reason why we choose to attack when the sun goes down is to use the time when they are eating to carry out the assault and defeat the opponent's core army as quickly as possible.
Remember! Be fast, be accurate, and be ruthless! Always keep in mind our most important goal - to eat Tyrell's soldiers and capture Lord of Highgarden alive!
We don't need to rely on the cover of night, and we don't need to take into account the rescue of the opponent's rear troops. We just go straight to our goals and complete our tasks. The Canyon Knight is responsible for breaking the formation. The left and right wings quickly cut diagonally and penetrate deep inward, without even paying much attention to the remaining strength of the opponent's flanks."
He looked around and emphasized. "If they dare to regroup after being beaten back, I will send the remaining cavalry to charge into the battle."
As for the enemy's follow-up troops, you don't have to worry. If there are unexpected changes, I will lead the Chinese army to directly attack them, and they will still be unable to do anything by then----
Everyone, I hope that at dawn tomorrow, we can have a good drink under each other's military tent!"
"As you command!"
All the generals responded in unison, their voices sonorous and powerful.
The order was conveyed quickly, and the Southern Expeditionary Army's camp immediately became busy, but it seemed orderly.
The knights from Vale of Arryn and their attendants kept checking the horses, saddles, horseshoes, lances, and cavalry shields, and feeding the horses enough fodder and black beans;
The the North soldier wiped his cold weapons and sang in a low voice the vulgar tune he had learned from the Dornish Marches man;
Dornish Marches's soldiers can easily adjust to warm up or relax.
Everyone is preparing in their own different ways for the upcoming "Night of Destroyed Roses".
At this time, the southern border army camp was still a scene of looseness on the outside and looseness on the inside.
Lord Mace ordered them to show their willingness to fight in the morning, and they did a good job. However, the continuous martial arts performances after getting up early also made the soldiers feel sleepy.
In the previous days of "siege" Storm's End, generally speaking, they would not get up so early.
Some tired soldiers returned to their respective camps before noon and spent the entire afternoon relaxing from the fatigue caused by today's "morning exercise".
The sun is gradually setting in the west and is about to "submerge" in the Sunset Sea.
The afterglow dyed the plain west of Storm's End into a large area of golden red.
When the last ray of sunlight quietly shone through and reluctantly disappeared behind the horizon, the dusk was like a huge black veil, instantly covering the place where the two armies were.
In front of the southern border army's camp, smoke curled up.
Soldiers who had come from the Reach to Stormlands carried stoneware bowls, swallowed wheat porridge with a little beans, and whispered to each other about when they could go home.
No one knew that this ordinary dinner would become the last meal for many of them.
I don't know if Westeros has a name for "decapitated meal"----
earth.
There was a tremor.
One thousand and five hundred heavily armored knights were like prisoner dragons that broke free from their restraints, completely trampling the night to pieces.
The roar of them and their horses was deafening.
The steel torrent of men and horses, wearing dark armor and holding military lances more than ten feet tall, rushed towards the camp of the Southern Border Army.
The tip of the spear flashed with a deadly dark light under the faint starlight.
The Southern Border Army made so much noise this morning that no time was spent on the main topic, and the defenses built were just hastily erected wooden fences and trenches.
Under the thunderous impact that the Canyon Knight had prepared, these things seemed to be fake and vulnerable.
The sound of "crack" was endless, the wooden fortifications were smashed to pieces, the sharp corners were hit hard by the star hammer, and there were always narrow places in the trench, which Vale of Arryn's visitors used their superb equestrian skills to ride their horses across.
Vale of Arryn's heavy cavalry are well prepared, their horses are well trained, and they are in good condition at the moment.
The knights formed a tight cone-shaped formation and cut into all parts of the front camp in an orderly manner. Like sharp bayonets, they penetrated directly into the combined forces of Tyrell and Fossoway.
Most of the Reach soldiers in the camp were unprepared. Some had just put down their utensils, and some were still doing chores. No one had guessed that the Southern Expeditionary Army was suddenly attacking, and the nobles they were loyal to did not give them any warning.
The sudden cavalry charge quickly plunged them into panic.
Various sounds mixed together, breaking the tranquility tonight.
The knights of the canyon are well-trained. The first ones knock down the soldiers blocking the road one after another. The subsequent knights follow closely behind, using big swords, flails, and battle axes to carry out efficient killings with the help of horse power, constantly harvesting new lives.
The cone-shaped array rushed back and forth in the crowd, tearing up criss-crossing bloody roads one after another, causing a large amount of damage.
The occasional organized infantry and the deliberate counterattacks of scattered knights all turned into futile efforts in front of the canyon knights like ants shaking a tree.
They wore plate armor, and no matter whether they were men or horses, infantry's spearheads could not penetrate it. The knights who tried to summon more soldiers to resist were also given special attention. The Canyon Knight used indisputable facts to prove the grass content of the Reach knight on the spot.
In just a few moments, the front lines of the southern border troops from Highgarden, Cider Hall, and Xintong City were severely defeated. Especially the front lines of the camp were littered with corpses.
Many soldiers gave up their futile resistance, discarded their weapons, took off their leather armor, even if this only reduced their load a little, and fled madly towards the rear.
It wasn't until Old Oak and the reinforcements from Green Valley City came forward in time, and used the finally dense formation of spears to barely block the advance of a small number of knights, that the momentum of the defeat was temporarily suspended.
At the same time.
The fighting on both sides of the battlefield has almost begun.
The left wing was the Dreadfort-Karhold troops led by Roose Bolton and Rickard Karstark. They rushed forward at a slow pace and took the initiative to crash into House Hightower's defense line.
Even though Oldtown itself did not send many troops, the combined forces of House Bulwer, the Cotoin family, the Mullendauer family, and the Kuy family were gathered here.
Blackcrown and Three Towers, also located in Whispering Bay, are dedicated to guarding the import and export of the sea route for Oldtown; the main castles in the southwest of the Reach, Highland City and Yangwu City, the lords of these cities are all loyal to Hightower of Hightower.
Even Brightwater Keep Earl's ally House Beesbury, who inherited the bloodline of "Garth Greenhand" Garth, Honeyholt, is the same.
It's just that Ben Bisbury Earl, who is seventy and eighty years old, is good at relying on his old age and showing off his old age. Obviously, there is no need to throw away the face of Baelor·Hightower, a younger generation, and he never mixes with the latter.
The North The performance of the soldiers on the battlefield is excellent, and one can even say that they are extremely fierce.
In particular, Karhold's cavalry group and Skinner's gun-and-shield array, the latter's "lance plus tower shield" combat method, are somewhat similar to House Peake's Pikemen Corps.
In addition to being unable to form a battle formation similar to the "Spanish Phalanx", the soldiers of the Skinners also have their own rhythm. The spears are like poisonous snakes, stabbing the enemy's vital points with precision.
The people of the Karstark family are also very brave. They wield their long axes and roar into the enemy, showing no fear in the face of battle.
Hightower's soldiers, like their former army, were not mentally prepared for a night battle. How had they ever seen such a brave fighting style?
It collapses at the first touch.
In a short period of time, the soldiers on their side suffered heavy losses. Sir Baelor tried to fight back, but was dragged back by the family guards and fled. He had no choice but to retreat continuously.
Stonehelm Earl on the other side is not idle either. What the lords of Storm Dornish Marches have to deal with tonight is Goldengrove's Rowan.
Matus Earl is quite capable, but he no longer wants to fight.
The Southern Border Army was originally a loose alliance.
At the critical moment of life and death, the alliance was in name only and almost completely collapsed.
Who told Tyrell to play hard and engage in confrontation? Then let him play by himself.
In addition to the troops directly under Highgarden, as well as the close family members of Tyrell, they still fought alone on the battlefield and were beaten by groups.
When other people see that the situation is not going well, they often retreat first out of respect.
In bulk, such as the Reach, let alone 40,000 people, "in history" 80,000 people dared to defeat the enemy.
When the slogans "Iron Throne directly attack Highgarden's rebellion!" were continuously heard from the formation of the Southern Expeditionary Army, Matus Rowan, who was dressed in military uniform, also had a sneer on his lips.
Just like before, Goldengrove Earl just received the call from Highgarden----
Rowan of Goldengrove:
