Chapter 212 Theon and Jon

In the early morning of September [-]th.

The battle report of the demonstration battle in Tengshi Town has been spread along the light curtain network, and many people are eligible to view the compiled battle images.

Theon Greyjoy certainly won't be left out.

Demonstration battle.

Theon silently chewed on this unfamiliar but clear noun.

Speaking of which, this is really the first large-scale conflict between the new soldiers under King Joffrey's command and the traditional army.

Before that, Cape Marseilles was a real night raid, with no lights, no shouts, only flames and death.The enemy army collapsed as expected, and the deserters were even more vulnerable.

All that can be learned from this is an already familiar fact: night raids really do work.

And in the stormy land, although many castles were conquered one after another, these places themselves were already extremely weak.

The main force of the enemy army is all dizzy inland.

Even the defenders of Storm's End are only 2000 people, and ordinary castles generally only have dozens or even hundreds of guards.

What growth can be achieved by attacking such a place?There is simply no technology at all.

There are at most three steps:

Propaganda and demonstrations, firing salvos, and the Holy Shield charged.

Tengshi Town is different.

After all, there are 3 enemies.

If there is no accident, the strength and size of each enemy in the future will not exceed twice the enemy army at most, and they can be regarded as targets of the same level.

It is also reasonable to use the experience of this battle to demonstrate and guide future operations.

Demonstration battle.

Theon stared blankly at the most thrilling scene in the light curtain, thinking about King Joffrey's real intentions.

Demonstrate what?Which part should I learn?

The pre-battle sentry clearing was pretty good.The enemy's "eyes" were powerless in front of well-trained scout squads and were quietly executed.

The new function of the light curtain is very useful.Everyone in the army can see each other's position and activity track on the combat map to coordinate operations and support.Eye-catching red enemy markers provide targeting guidance.

Of course, the red markers of enemies are sometimes not accurate and timely, especially in the dark.

This can not be blamed on anyone.

After all, the Security Bureau responsible for updating the red dot information is hundreds of miles away in King's Landing.

There are only more than 1000 security guards in the back office.

For this campaign, they have tried their best to provide all kinds of information ranging from terrain, fortifications to defenses, and the main status and movements of the enemy.

This is already a great achievement.

It is too unrealistic to ask people to collect the subtle intelligence of tens of thousands of enemies one by one, update the marks in time, and make no mistakes.

Should be satisfied.

Intelligence, equipment, obedience, communication, our side is already the only one in the world in all aspects.What else can you complain about without a commander.

"Blackfish" certainly can't make mistakes.

The timing of each of his commands was perfect.From sneaking, starting a war, to charging, deterring, advancing and retreating, and accepting surrender, all instructions can perfectly achieve the expected results: receiving the rebels and Tengshi Town at the lowest cost.

None of the Crusaders died.Ordinary cavalry casualties were only dozens of people, and even the enemy only died a few hundred.

all the best.

Until a shocking scene that no one expected suddenly appeared.

Theon stared at the image closely.

A new round of "candles" skyrocketed, illuminating countless faces on the ground, as well as a dozen scattered corpses that changed the situation of the battle.

The expressions of the people are wonderful.

Snickers, regret, grief, relief, despair, panic, madness, all kinds of states are difficult to distinguish.

The deep darkness flickered away.

More corpses and fights followed.

Lord Fudley of Tumblestone was decapitated, the heir of the Shemer family pierced a dismounted royal cavalry with his long sword, Baron Caswell of Bitterbridge and the knight of the Valpin family died in each other's arms, Rockton The count shouted and charged at the cavalry's lances...

Video ends.

Only black and white text was summed up on the light curtain.

Theon saw it.

The text wrote the experience and lessons of the battle, asking him to learn from successful examples, to be vigilant and avoid painful defeats, such as the final accident.

No one thought about this in advance.

The lighting at night is not the norm for people, but an extraordinary blessing, and no one dares to question why there is a dark gap in the middle.Isn't it possible to avoid consuming more "candles" and launching in advance?
However, due to traditional war thinking and objective resource constraints, the reserves of flares are actually not sufficient enough to be easily "wasted".

After all, a round of flares can only last a dozen breaths in the sky before falling.

To ensure the light throughout the process, the consumption of flares would have to be doubled.This is what the army at that time was unwilling to bear.

Compared with minor issues such as lighting, people care more about offense and defense.

But who would have thought that in just a few short intervals, the casualties of one's own side almost doubled, and it also cast a deep shadow on the surrender ceremony.

What's more, most of the people who died were prominent figures.

With such a change, the demonstration battle did not seem to end perfectly, and the glorious victory was inevitably mixed with some stains.

Even the words on the light curtain seemed to reveal regret.

Yeah?Theon had to wonder.

Compared with most people, he has experienced the coldness and warmth of people, and he is uncontrollably thinking in the dark.

Is it really an accident?

After making a preconceived point of view, when watching the video of this battle, Theon can always taste more meanings from it.

The identity of these people who died last is very strange.

Half of the lords and knights in the river land died, and most of them had good friends with the Tully family, and they responded to the king's call only after obeying the king's wishes.

Now die in the darkness before victory?

Survivors raged.The nobles of the River Bend thus became the best targets for venting their anger.

No family was unscathed, not to mention the lords and heirs of Tengshi Town, Blacksmith Village, Circle City, and Evergreen Hall.

The nobles of the valley were unharmed.

Although their location was relatively safe at that time, it was too much of a coincidence.

Thinking about it this way, the arrangement that the front troops sent to attack were all coalition forces from various countries, and most of King's Landing's soldiers and horses led the formation itself became suspicious.

Moreover, not only the last accident, but also many deaths in the previous darkness.

Wherever the cavalry went, the senior officers of the Reach were always turned into dead bodies between two rounds of flares, and some had already dropped their weapons and surrendered.There are always mujahideen figures next to the corpses!

Why is this image released? !The king is not afraid of people discovering the truth! ?

Theon even asked Jon Snow, who was still killing time at Griffin's Roost, insinuatingly, how much the bastard noticed.

Of course this guy has seen the video too.

However, within the light curtain, the astonishment on Jon Snow's face didn't look like a disguise at all, as if what he heard was not an amazing secret, but a joking nonsense without any basis.

Theon quickly came to his senses:

The image Jon Snow saw was different from his own!He didn't see those assassinations!

Theon became more convinced of his guess.

Demonstration battle?
The bright daylight from the porthole came in.

Theon looked out to sea.It is indeed a perfect demonstration battle.Yes to Jon Snow, yes to me.

An arc protruded from the flat sea.

Qingting Island.

Theon is on the Fourth Fleet.Qingting Island also has a larger fleet of Qingting Island, of course, it is now under the command of the king.

Not far from the Iron Islands.

Sean's heart suddenly became much heavier.Demonstration battle, what do you want me to learn?
