Game of Thrones Overlord Conquest

Chapter 7 Rapid March Undercurrent River

In the sky, dawn is like a sharp sword, splitting the dark night and spitting out the blood-soaked morning light.

Under the dome, six thousand Dothraki roaring warriors, one man and two horses, gathered outside the ruins of Vaes Kwo on the banks of the Sarne River, ready to go.

Meng Ge rode a fiery red horse, galloping from the east sun, with thunder and roar in his chest:

"I've never heard the Dothraki fear war since I was able to ride."

Six thousand Dothraki roaring warriors witnessed him single-handedly kill Khal Drekko and his bloodriders. At this time, they saw Meng Ge's majestic figure, galloping on horseback, and listened to his roar that penetrated the stone and cracked the clouds. Suddenly the cheers were like thunder.

Meng Ge raised his arakh scimitar, his horse galloped, and continued to roar:

"Dothraki, that's the nature."

The roaring warriors roared and raised the scimitars and spears in their hands, and the sky filled with anger.

Mengge rode past, weapons collided, and roared:

"Now we need to march, across the rivers and grasslands, across the forest plains, all for you, for your honor, for your wealth. Dothraki men, Dothraki warriors, Dothraki roaring warriors Follow me, ye, follow your Khal, and win, and win at all costs. Honor to the brave Dothraki warriors, and riches to the Dothraki."

The sound of roars and horse hoofs vibrated through the trees, shocking the earth and the earth. Under the leadership of Khal Menggo, six thousand roaring warriors rushed out of the Saen River in a mighty manner.

The army crossed the Sarn from the ruins of Vaes Kwo and headed north along the Valyrian Way.

One person and two horses had to ride back and forth, and they had to be tied to the horse's back when sleeping. In addition to beans, dried meat, and dairy products, the Dothraki had a leather bag to hold milk, plus a corresponding amount of water, hung on the horse's back. , when the horse is galloping, it will vibrate violently, which will turn the milk in the leather bag into paste, which can be used as food to satisfy hunger and replenish water.

At noon the next day, the army moved into the Kohor Forest. This forest is the largest forest in the continent of Essos. The trees in the forest are tall and thick, with trunks as wide as city gates. The leaves turn golden in the sun, and the cavalry are scattered. , the horses jogged through the forest. Fortunately, the Dothraki had excellent riding skills.

The forest is not safe, inhabited by giant elk and spotted tigers. Dozens of Dothraki patrol cavalry died under the antlers of the deer, or were dragged away with their horses and men, leaving behind their devoured corpses.

The Dothraki cavalry were equally skilled in archery. They often hunted prey to replenish supplies, and also hunted lemurs with silver-white fur and big purple eyes. This feature is reminiscent of the typical Valyrian appearance, the old man Ofer explained. This kind of lemur is known as the "little Valyrian". It is said that stroking its fur can bring good luck to people.

The trees in the Kohol Forest were so lush that they could only climb to the tops to determine the time and direction.

As the sun set on the third day, the old man Ofer proposed to reduce the food rations for people and horses from today, and try to save more supplies to prevent unexpected events. It was easy to lose direction in the forest, and luck was very important. At the same time, he was also worried. , the progress of the Jiumokao tribe may not be so smooth. Once the plan starts, it will slowly lose control, and it can only make corresponding changes quickly according to the specific situation.

At the eighth dawn, Mengge led six thousand cavalry and finally saw the end of the Kohor Forest. The Dothraki themselves were nomadic people, and at this time they looked more like wild men in the mountains.

Despite the experience and guidance of the old man Ofer, it was still one day later than expected.

Before they completely walked out of the forest, they saw the endless water. Meng's heart suddenly felt cold, as if he had sunk to the bottom of the sea. The northernmost part of the Kohol Forest was the ocean. They once lost their way in the forest and walked to the seaside.

He couldn't help but wonder in his mind that he had gone the wrong way again, but this looked more like a lake.

At this moment, the Dothraki roaring warriors suddenly became commotion.

"This is not poisonous water, it is water source. My horse can drink it."

The Dothraki called seawater "poisonous water" and they distrusted any liquid that their horses could not drink.

The old man Ofer got off his horse, took water from the lake and splashed it on his face, and said excitedly:

"This should be the lake north of Qohor City. I have been here before. Its lake is connected to the undercurrent river. You can find the undercurrent river by walking southwest along the lake."

Looking at the red sun rising in the east, looking at the lake in front of him and the looming Norvos Mountains in the distance, Mengge knew that he should be on the right track this time.

Immediately, he dispersed hundreds of patrolling scouts to detect traces, and ordered the large troops to rest on the spot.

At this moment, he fully realized the power of Wei Guogong Li Jing, champion Hou Huo Qubing and others. He didn't know if they had lost their way when they fought.

At noon, the patrolling scouts returned to the camp one after another. Based on the information from the scouts' investigation, Old Man Ofo determined that they were due north of Kohol City and northeast of the Undercurrent River. At the same time, the scouts also brought back bad news. The Jiumokao tribe did not appear in the camp. Outside the city of Qohor.

This can't help but make Meng Ge think about it. Whether the opponent has left the city of Kohor or has not arrived, or Jiumocao has already discovered his plan and turned back to attack his tribe. However, to be on the safe side, he only brought out 6,000 people this time. Roaring Warrior, there is still a fight in Corsoro.

Everything is possible, and all that is left to him now is endless daydreams and torturous waiting.

He kept reminding himself to stay calm. He still needed to survey the terrain and couldn't delay important matters.

Undercurrent river, flowing water rushes away, flying stars splash, and huge whirlpools roll up in the river from time to time.

Mengge was leading a team of cavalry to survey the terrain along the river bank. He looked at the raging river and the wider river as he went south, and said thoughtfully:

"Currently, it seems that if Jiumokao's tribe wants to cross the river, they can only take the long bridge of the undercurrent river."

After hearing his soliloquy, the old man Aofu said confidently:

"The Long Bridge of the Undercurrent River not only connects the Valyrian Avenue, but is also wide enough to allow the tribe of Jumoccao to pass quickly. There is no better choice than there."

Meng Ge also considered this in his mind. However, as the river downstream became wider and wider, shoals were more likely to appear. There was still no guarantee that Jiumokao would choose to cross the river on the long bridge of the undercurrent river.

Until the group of people reached the confluence of the Undercurrent River and the Qinn River, they found no shallow water that could cross the river.

Looking at the increasingly turbulent Qinn River as it receded into the distance, he was completely sure that only the long bridge of the undercurrent river could cross the river.

Mengge led the cavalry back to the Long Bridge of the Undercurrent River. The terrain here is just as the old man Ofer said, it is open and gentle. If the enemy is crossing the river and attacks halfway, the cavalry can attack the enemy from behind and charge from a high position.

Looking across the long bridge, he suddenly had an impulse to go to the west bank to observe.

The Long Bridge on the Undercurrent River is the main thoroughfare for foreign trade in Kohor City, but it is not heavily guarded. However, if you cross the bridge, you will have to pay a tax.

The Dothraki had no money, and no one dared to stop them despite the tax officials' pushing and shoving, allowing the cavalry to rush across the long bridge, but the long bridge was indeed well built.

The terrain on the west bank is not as open as that on the east bank, but other terrain characteristics are not much different. It is enough for six thousand cavalry to launch a charge. The advantage is the Norvos Hills in the distance, which is conducive to concealment. Each has its own advantages and it is difficult to choose.

Meng Ge still felt vaguely uncomfortable in his heart. He always felt that he had not grasped some key points, so he summoned Ofer and a Dothraki roaring warrior to his side and asked:

"If you were Jiumocao, how would you choose to cross the river?"

"What do you mean..." Aofu asked thoughtfully: "How will Jiumokao arrange the formation for crossing the river."

Meng Ge's heart suddenly became enlightened and he hurriedly said:

"Yes, will he arrange for the Dothraki roaring warriors to cross the river first, or will he give priority to the ordinary tribes to cross the river?"

"Dothraki Roaring Warrior."

The two replied in unison.

Seeing Khal Meng's eyes looking at him, Dothraki roared, the warrior said proudly and bluntly:

"Dothraki warriors first."

Immediately, Ofer also gave his own answer:

"This has always been the arrangement of Zheke Kao before, and it has never changed. Warriors are the most important tribe. Without the protection of warriors, ordinary tribes cannot survive."

At this time, Meng Ge had already made a decision in his heart.
