Tread...

The warhorse under Oberyn's crotch seemed to have a foreboding of danger.

However, at this moment, the flood has spread silently, and it didn't reach the horse's calf. The horse's hooves constantly trampled on the water under his feet, splashing water.

The Mande River is one of the most important large rivers in Westeros. Its water flow is huge and the river is wide, but the water flow is not very fast.

The upper reaches of this big river above the High Court are muddy and the water is turbid, while the High Court is clear and gentle downstream.

Therefore, now the Mande River has burst its embankment in the area of ​​High Court, and the water has overflowed the river and began to spread to all directions, but the speed of the water flow is also not very fast. , and then the grand occasion of a thousand miles after the embankment burst.

And perhaps it was the gentle character of the Mande River, which caused Oberyn, who was the commander of the First Prince's army, to be negligent. He didn't expect such a gentle river to suddenly become angry.

Fortunately, the water flow of the Mande River was not fast, which prevented them from being directly washed away by the flood.

But all the soldiers in the whole army, including Oberyn himself as the commander, were soaked in the turbid river water mixed with a lot of loess, and even the bodies of the dead due to the war were also floating in the flood.

"Oops."

And the gray-haired old Prince of Dorne was not so embarrassed on horseback at the moment.

However, the rain above his head was still falling. Although it was not as rapid as at the beginning, the rain was still dripping down his white hair.

The sandy-yellow cloak behind Oberon was also wet, and the clothes and stomach were clinging to the skin. Coupled with the unique climate of the south in summer, it was sultry and humid, and the air was mixed with the smell of blood and stench. To gag.

As a famous general in the world, Oberon naturally knew that their situation was not good at this moment and they were facing great danger.

After all, although this flood did not disperse the army, it was not a problem for the entire army to soak in the waist-deep water.

"There has to be a countermeasure."

He didn't know if this was the plot of his old friend.

But Oberyn could never have imagined that anyone could obtain the scrolls of the gods in the sky, and the sky changed in an instant.

Therefore, although Oberon has some doubts in his heart, after all, this heavy rain is too strange and coincidental, but after all, if he loses, he will lose, and there is no reason to find it.

If he can detect in advance that the water level of the Mande River is on the verge of danger, he can also prepare other countermeasures in advance, instead of the whole army having just finished a battle, all exhausted and exhausted, but unable to eat a single bite of food , drenched in a heavy rain, and then soaked in water again.

"Commander-in-chief, what should we do now?"

The flood spread and surrounded everyone, and everyone was soaked in the water, but the young affairs officer Kane, whom Oberyn trusted most, calmed down a lot at this moment.

After all, there is no way to avoid things when they come, and it is useless to be anxious. You must quickly come up with a countermeasure.

This is what his teacher taught him, yes, although Oberyn did not identify Kane as inheriting his mantle, and his political and military influence.

But Kane always regarded the old prince who promoted him as his teacher or father, so he was loyal to Oberyn.

"Now the camp can't go back, and all our food and supplies are also soaked in the water."

"Sir, are we going to counterattack the High Court?"

"As long as you do your best to completely capture the High Court, there is still room for all this to reverse."

And since he was promoted by Oberyn to be a trusted confidant, Affairs Officer Kane has been studying with the old prince, learning his way of thinking, his commanding art, and his strategies and tactics.

Kane is not a gifted genius, but a diligent genius, and he has achieved some results with his aggressive and enterprising spirit.

Now he has calmed down very quickly in the face of such a sudden and bad situation. This is the best quality of a commander, and he can not panic when encountering things.

Then Kane thought of a way to break the current situation.

True.

If it was a young Oberyn, he would have adopted the method Kane now proposes.

Now that the camp and food and grass are gone, then they will abandon everything, attack the enemy with all their strength, and take back everything they have lost.

And Oberyn's most proud battle in his life was to use this method to beat and deceive Tywin Lannister round and round.

At that time he abandoned his barracks and attacked Lannisport, but in fact sent his warriors up from the back hill of Casterly Rock.

He captured this fortified castle, which was almost impossible to fall, in the most unexpected way, leaving only an empty barracks for Tywin Lannister, a famous general of the Seven Kingdoms at that time.

Furious, Tywin smashed an unknown number of cups.

But unfortunately, Oberyn is old now.

He is no longer the shrewd and cunning red snake he once was, his hair is gray, his cheeks are full of wrinkles, and he has become a lot more timid, and he dares not play this game and put his life on the gambling table. game.

Therefore, Kane opened his mouth and proposed to counterattack High Court~www.NovelMTL.com~ to seize the castle at all costs. After all, High Court is on a high ground, which can avoid this flood and has enough food supplies, but Oberyn Hesitated...

"You're right, boy."

The pale hair was wet by the rain and clinging to the scalp, the old prince was riding on the back of the horse, his eyebrows were twisted into a pimple, and after a long while, he slowly opened his mouth.

"But I won't take your advice."

"Sir, why?"

The young affairs officer on the other side was puzzled when he heard Oberyn's words.

Although they are now defeated soldiers and their morale is extremely low, the Imperial Legion is after all an elite division that has undergone thousands of trials. Even in this situation, they can rely on their last willpower to defeat a group of farmers.

"Because you don't know him."

"Who?"

"The guy with the iron mask."

Oberyn's voice fell, and Kane suddenly closed his mouth and was speechless.

He had naturally heard of Bessie's name. The other party, like his own teacher, was the right-hand man of His Majesty the Emperor. He once fought side by side to build such a huge empire.

And the iron-masked war **** later served as the commander of the human coalition, won the famous Battle of Kohor, and defeated the White Walkers to become famous.

"He's not going to miss this opportunity."

The white-haired old prince sat on the back of a horse, the heavy rain above his head had reduced a lot at the moment, and it was falling continuously.

"If we turn around and go back now, not only will it be impossible to break through the High Court, but there will be no return."

He turned his head to look in the direction of High Court, and said in a hoarse voice.
