Chapter 253 The centaurs’ march route

"When will they all be here?"

"It won't be much earlier than the centaurs. But their first two legions will definitely arrive in Meereen within a month. This is the promise of the New Gith messenger Reg zo Emd."

"Time is very tight," Ian rubbed his hands. "They at least have enough navy to transport two armies, while our army can only walk through the Gujiskali Coastal Avenue. If we want to be there within a month, If we reach Meereen, our vanguard must set off in a week at the latest."

"Please give me the honor of commanding the vanguard army, my lord." Regiment Commander Lexix requested on the spot.

"I hope this honor belongs to me, sir." Dorian, the Black Falcon, was not to be outdone and said closely.

"You don't have to fight, because the vanguard army will be commanded by me personally." Ian saw the other army commanders starting to speak, and shook his head to interrupt them, "Our army will only be divided into two to attack Meereen. March forward, the first group of which will be led by me personally, including the 1st and 2nd Unsullied Legions, the 1st and 2nd Slave Iron Legions, the 1st Crossbow Corps and the Ka L'Sa of Quigo Khal."

"What about me?" Dorian asked immediately. According to Ian's order just now, the Guards Corps was not among them.

"The Praetorian Guards will remain in Astapor to protect your queen."

"We are not even among the second batch of troops to set off?" This is hard to accept for young people who are eager to make achievements.

"I've already told you what your mission is."

"Yes, sir." Dorian noticed the change in Ian's tone and realized that he had committed a taboo by raising questions in the combat meeting, so he quickly lowered his head.

"After we set off, the other legions stationed in Astapor will continue to receive newly produced equipment from major workshops, the third Unsullied legion, the fourth and fifth slave iron legions and the second crossbow The regiment will begin marching to Meereen one month after our departure." Ian continued to order.

"Isn't it too late?" Lexix asked immediately, "Well, I mean, I wonder where you plan to set the location for our decisive battle?"

"Everyone, please look at the map (the comment area has been pinned to the top)," Ian pointed to the large map hanging behind him again. "There are three possible routes for Khal Drogo from Vaes Dothraki to Astapor. Route of march.

First, cross the river at the middle fork of the Skarhazaban River, pass through the Lazarin city of Hersey and the Kaiser Pass and enter Slaver's Bay. This route will bypass most of Meereen's land and directly enter the Abyss. Kay. If the military alliance in Slaver's Bay had not been formed, this would have been the outcome that the Meereenese were most happy about and the Yunkai'i were least willing to see. "

"That's why you are willing to make friends with the Finley tribe who control the Kaisai Pass at all costs. With their help, our probability of defeating the centaurs at the Kaisai Pass will be greatly improved." Lexix agreed.

"It's just a precautionary measure," Ian shook his head. "The mountains are not suitable for centaurs to march, and Khal Drogo is least likely to choose this route."

“The second path,” Ian continued, “after arriving at the Skarhazaban River, the centaurs can go all the way west along the river. This area is covered with the farmland of Meereen slaves. If they pass through here, they will be in danger. Meereen's economy was devastated.

Except for two narrow river valleys, most of the land on this route is suitable for cavalry marches, and they can easily obtain a large amount of supplies. Khal Drogo is most likely to choose this route. This is also the reason why Khal Drogo chooses to take this route. The reason why the Lin people would rather pay a huge price to us and hope that we can stop the centaur army in Lazar.

For the third route, the centaurs are not in a hurry to go south to the Skarhazaban River. They can bypass the northernmost section of the Ghiscari Mountains and directly reach the north bank of Meereen without entering Lazar. "

"This won't scare those old guys in Meereen to the point of peeing." Bronn, who had been silent for so long, finally spoke, causing the whole hall to burst into laughter.

"Yes, this is also the possibility that people in Meereen fear the most," Ian tapped the table twice, and the laughter in the entire hall suddenly stopped, and everyone instantly returned to a serious expression.

"So I speculate that after we arrive in Meereen, the commanders of the other three city-states, at least Meereen and Yunkai, will ask our troops to go out of the mountain pass to capture the Lazarin city of Hessey, and station a heavy army here.

Khal Drogo, who has received the news by then, is very likely to go straight to Hessey to find our main force to seek a decisive battle. In this way, the entire Slaver's Bay can be spared from the war. Even if we are defeated, they can get enough buffer time to report to the Horse King. Surrender and promise to help Horse King contribute Astapor. "

"Hesi is a city with only wooden walls. It has a size of only ten thousand people and does not have sufficient food and safe water sources. Choosing to decide between Hesi and the Dothraki is basically equivalent to fighting in the field, and I heard that Drogo Khal has 50,000 roaring warriors." Lexix reminded that he had also participated in the previous map drawing work, so he was very familiar with the various terrains along the Meereen-Skarhazaban Valley-Hessey line.

"You don't have that confidence?" Ian raised his eyebrows.

"I do! We will definitely win." Lexix stood up straight and said loudly.

But I didn't, Ian complained.

If you wait another two years, wait until your slave legion has been fully trained, wait until Astapor's various workshops mass-produced weapons and armor to fully arm your legion, wait until you have enough horses to complete the entire cavalry legion, After the formation is formed, maybe Ian will go into field battle with such a large number of centaurs and cavalry.

but now? Don't make trouble.

The first is to attack the enemy with troops, then the second is to attack the enemy, and the second is to attack the army. The victorious soldier wins first and then goes to war, and the defeated soldier fights first and then goes to war.

Solving the problem through war is already a bad idea, and fighting without certainty of victory is even worse. If he had no other choice, Ian would never choose such a plan.

And Ian always has a choice.

"It's a good thing to have confidence, but I won't let my soldiers die in vain. We won't go to Hesi." Ian smiled and waved his hand, "We took the Kaisai Pass just to block the Dothraki's way. route to the south.

According to my plan, the final battlefield will either be in the Skaha Zaban Valley, where the narrowest point is only three kilometers wide, where we can completely avoid the possibility of enemy outflanking and arrange the gun array to a depth of more than 15 rows. This was enough to handle any cavalry charge.

Or just under the city of Meereen, which faces the river to the north. We can form an array behind the city. During the battle, we can get fire support from the city wall and the navies of Meereen and New Ghis. "
