»The sudden wind blew away the hazy fog, and the moonlight shed a faint light. The fragrance of flowers and plants floated gently in the breath with the breeze.
The eyes of the old man Ofer shone with an increasingly fiery light, and his wrinkled face bloomed with vicissitudes of life, and he said excitedly:
"Yes, the Undercurrent River is right here. It originates from the Norvos Hills northwest of Kohol City, and flows into the Jean River. It is the only way to go from Kohol City to Pentos City via the Valyrian Avenue. This is also the last chance. Beyond the Undercurrent River are hills and mountains. The cavalry has no chance to attack here. "
Hearing this, Meng Ge lowered his eyebrows and fell into deep thought.
The changes in the landscape of Wes Caddock made Ofer a little unconfident at this time, and reminded him in a coy tone:
"Four years ago, when I passed here, the terrain was flat and open. From east to west, the cavalry could charge from a high position, but I don't know now..."
Before the old man could finish his words, Mengge stretched out his hand and turned it into a fist, waved it hard and said decisively:
"Let's do it. The Kohor people will never turn the whole world into a forest. Let's rush to the Undercurrent River in advance to survey the terrain."
The Dothraki tribes all have their own distribution areas, but the Dothraki Sea is vast, and the tribes plunder various city-states in Essos. If this opportunity is lost, it will not be easy to find Jiumokao again.
After getting on their horses and walking along the Valyrian Road along the Sarn River, Meng Ge and Meng Ge returned to the tribal camp wearing stars and moons.
Outside the camp, a short, stocky Dothraki man stood waiting.
He has thick eyebrows and big eyes, half of his face is covered by thick beard, his eyes are shining with sharp light, his stature is indeed relatively short, but his whole body is full of flexibility and explosive power.
When he heard the neighing of the war horses and saw the figure running from the darkness, there was a hint of fanaticism in his eyes.
He reined in his horse and stopped immediately. Looking at the living man in front of him, Meng Ge showed a bright smile.
The man leaned down respectfully and said:
"Kaa, you now need to be re-appointed as a Kou who is loyal to you."
Turning over and dismounting, Meng Ge took a step forward and bent slightly to touch the man's shoulder. After all, he was now a full eight feet tall. Without the noble phantom Riding Hero's Reins, no war horse could carry him in a running attack.
"Kosolo, my most brave and loyal subordinate, I will reward you and appoint you as the new bandit." Then Mengge turned sideways, pointed at the old man beside him, and said: "He is Ofo, who is familiar with Ers All the geography and history of Soth is my wise man."
Corsoro did not show any emotion regarding Kaa's appointment. He believed that he had no leadership skills and wanted to serve as Kaa's bloodrider. However, obeying all Kaa's orders was his loyalty.
Corsolo has strong strength, but cannot express emotions. When he was born, he was abandoned because he was not strong enough. He was able to survive successfully and has more unknown past.
When facing Ofer's enthusiasm, he showed his teeth in response. After all, Kaa once said that showing teeth is a standard smile.
Seeing that they could live in peace, Meng Ge looked pleased, and immediately walked to the camp at the lead, calling for the two of them to follow him.
In the camp, in order to make the flames burn brighter, Meng Ge directly put his hand into the brazier and started stirring.
Ofo, who had not had time to stop him, looked shocked when he saw this scene. Kaa's hand seemed to be tumbling over his heart, and his thoughts were surging. At the same time, he suspected that this might be a kind of magic.
Corsolo has long been accustomed to Kaa's behavior, and the fanaticism in his eyes is undoubtedly revealed. He firmly believes that Kaa is a person blessed by the horse god.
Meng Ge had already thought carefully about this battle. He wiped the dust off his hands slowly and said seriously:
"Ofer, I appoint you as Kaa's steward. When the sun appears in the eastern sky, you must count the supplies for six thousand roaring warriors, one person and two horses, and seven days of people eating horse chews. At dawn, these six thousand The Roaring Warriors will leave the tribe and follow you and I to go north along the Sarn River, avoiding the patrol range of the Jiumokao tribe's cavalry, and then turn westward, passing through the Kohor Forest, and taking a detour to the Undercurrent River area. Kosolo, you. Now that you are the bandit of Kass, I want you to lead your Kass and the remaining roaring warrior guard tribes and continue to march towards the city of Kohor. However, you are not allowed to approach the city of Kohor without receiving my order. "
Corsoro had no objection to Kaa's order, but Ofer thought about it and said:
"Kaa, please forgive me."
"That's great, please tell me." Meng Ge stretched out his hand to hold down Corsolo, who was about to draw his sword, and said with a smile on his face: "Ofer is my affairs officer, and the duty of the Blood Guard is to protect the card. For the safety of Ao, Kou is responsible for commanding and managing his Kaas, while the affairs officer is responsible for providing insights and assisting Kao in managing the tribe. "
Seeing Corsolo trying to speak but stopping several times, Mengge shook his head and said calmly:
"Compared with the negligible loss of authority caused by listening to other people's opinions, I am more eager to win and win at all costs. The Dothraki cannot survive without victory. A Khal who cannot lead warriors to victory is not a real person. Kaa, I admit that this will cause misunderstanding among the tribe, but if anyone doubts me because of this, I will cut off his head to eliminate this doubt."
Immediately, Mengge waved his hand to Ofer and said:
"Time is pressing, please continue."
Ofer saw that the short Dothraki had no intention of continuing to attack, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief and whispered:
"Kao, in your plan, simply based on the marching distance and speed, seven days of supplies are enough. But if Kao Jumo stays in the suburbs of Qohor, seven days of supplies may not be enough."
Mongol looked puzzled and waited quietly, listening to Ofer continue:
"The people of Qohor are not afraid of the Dothraki khals. Qohor has thick stone walls, and more than four hundred years ago, they successfully resisted the attack of a tribe led by Khal Temo with three thousand Unsullied, with at least 50,000 people. After the battle, 12,000 Dothraki died, including Khal Temo and his kalalos, as well as all the khals. The remaining Dothraki cut off their braids and threw them to the six hundred survivors. Under the feet of the Unsullied Warriors, these Unsullied who participated in the battle were called the Three Thousand Warriors of Qohor. "
Over was silent for a moment, and continued:
"After that, the garrison of Qohor City was composed entirely of Unsullied. Each person's raised spear was hung with Dothraki braids. Now the number of the garrison will be more than 3,000. The Qohor people also have their own fleet, and Jumo Khal's tribe has only more than 40,000 people, so the Qohor people will not be afraid of Jumo Khal's offensive threat. Only when the Qohor people are impatient will they pay some tribute gold to send him away. This time will not be too long but not too short. "
Jumo Khal did not dare to attack Qohor City. Due to the lack of cavalry, the Qohor people would not choose to go out of the city to fight.
Finally, based on past experience, Over believed that the game between the Qohor people and Jumo Khal would not exceed three days, which would affect the trade of Qohor City.
Mong decided to carry ten days of supplies to set off for the Dark River. War is full of variables, and they can only make all the preparations they can.
The moon was bright in the sky, and it was still a long time before dawn. After Ofer and Kosoro left, Mungo did not rest directly, but was thoughtful.
He certainly knew the name of the Unsullied, which was a light infantry using spears, shields, and daggers to fight, similar to the ancient Greek spear phalanx infantry.
The title of Unsullied means that they are castrated slave warriors, characterized by absolute obedience to their masters and fearlessness in the face of war.
The characteristics come from their cruel selection and training methods. Slave owners select young male slaves according to their body size, speed, and strength. Training starts at the age of five, and every day from dawn to dusk, they are strictly trained on how to fight. Because they take the wine of courage regularly, their bodies have no pain, and the training is to erase all their personality, emotions, and self.
During the period, as long as one of the training fails, the slaves will be killed. In the end, only one-third of the slaves can persevere to the end and become Unsullied.
Previously, Mongol knew nothing about the armaments of the Qohor people. He was puzzled by the Dothraki tribe's regular trip to Qohor to collect tribute. This behavior could be called a long-term trickle, but the ruins on the Dothraki Sea told him that the Dothraki people could not have such wisdom.
Now, he understands that the reason behind this behavior is the strength of the Qohor people themselves. The khals can only obtain tribute in a harassing way. After all, the Unsullied are just light infantry and cannot catch up with the Dothraki cavalry.
But what was Khal Temo thinking when he used light cavalry to attack the Unsullied spear formation four hundred years ago.
Similarly, Mongol also felt strange about the Qohor people's thinking mode. As long as they trained and formed a light cavalry unit, they would be responsible for entanglement with the Dothraki during the war, and then encircled and annihilated them with the Unsullied. If the Qohor people could concentrate their strength and annihilate a Dothraki tribe, no khal would dare to harass them again.
Maybe this is what the show says, the city-states of Essos will not rely on steel in their hands to fight, but only use gold coins.
After all, it is a free trade city-state. For businessmen, problems that can be solved with money are not a problem, but these people will pay the price for it sooner or later.
In the stereotype, the military strength of the Qohor people is unknown, but the forging technology and woodworking skills of the Qohor people are known to everyone, and Mungo is very envious of this.
