Chapter 1048

And after these descendants were all disbanded.

Oberyn led his army to retreat, and Bessie, the commander of the Second Prince's army, naturally asked to pursue him.

Oberon did not guess this wrong. After all, as a famous general in the empire, although he made a careless mistake and was killed in the High Court, after all, under his reputation, there is no falsehood, and Bessie's next actions are all in Ober. Len's judgment.

That's why Oberyn ordered a full-speed retreat at all costs, without any hesitation.

However, Besiguo ordered to chase the enemy after the rest, to beat the underdogs.

If this army cannot be completely eliminated, the First Prince cannot be severely damaged, and the victory of this war will be shrunk by more than half.

"At all costs, we must catch up with them!"

Then Bessie issued a death order, requesting that the entire army must march quickly to catch up.

Although Oberyn and his army escaped for an extra night, they were trapped in the water by then.

In addition, he fought all day in the daytime, people were tired and hungry, and even the hard-hitting people couldn't run far.

Therefore, Bessie is still very confident that he can catch up with Oberon.

And the reason why he did not lead the army to chase the enemy overnight, but waited for the heavy rain to stop the next day, and the floods had subsided a lot before catching up, was not because he loved soldiers like sons, but because of other games.

In fact, Bessie wanted to pursue their foe immediately after winning the Jedi comeback at the Battle of Highgarden.

However, it is a pity that there is a gap in the quality of the soldiers under his command.

The army led by Bessie was not an elite division. If it was just defending the city, it would be fine. It would be impossible for them to chase the enemy through waist-deep floods.

It is even possible that before the enemy can catch up, his team has already fallen apart.

Although the army led by Oberon suffered a disastrous defeat, its morale became low and it was drenched in heavy rain, it was an elite army after all.

If it really catches up with the enemy in such a situation, I am afraid that the outcome is actually unpredictable.

And Oberyn might be waiting for him to catch up all night, and then take the opportunity to fight back.

Although the two famous imperial generals have not met, they have already made several games tactically and psychologically.

Know yourself and others.

Both know each other too well.

Oberyn did not follow the advice of Affairs Officer Kane and attacked High Court directly, because he was worried that Bessie would set up an ambush and deliberately lure him to take risks.

In fact, the commander of the allied forces in the Stormlands and the Reach did set up an ambush in Highgarden City last night to prevent Oberyn from jumping over the wall.

If Oberyn did take Kane's advice and attacked the High Court, there would be no return.

It just so happened that there was no need to continue chasing these remnant enemies, and they were directly destroyed under the city of High Court.

On the other hand, after the Jedi overturned in the Battle of High Court, Bessie had repeatedly considered whether to go further, pursued relentlessly, and led the army to destroy these remnant enemies directly, instead of waiting for the next day to repair and improve the situation after a night. Keep chasing.

Although he is sure that he can catch up, but after all, destroying these enemies as soon as possible can make people feel relieved.

And after a brilliant victory, it was inevitable that people would become a little slack, and the general wearing an iron mask even ordered a pursuit almost immediately.

But in the end, he still conquered his inner impulse and laxity, and repeatedly questioned himself why he let down his vigilance.

In fact, although Prince Dorne is old, he is not a vegetarian.

At that time, Oberyn did indeed prepare a big gift for Bessie after rejecting the proposal of the affairs officer Kane to counterattack the High Court.

If his old friend let his guard down after a big victory, he underestimated the enemy and tried to chase it all night.

Then he will 'half-cross and strike' when the enemy has not yet come out of the flood.

Although only relying on these remnants of Oberyn's current command of defeat will not be enough to turn defeat into victory.

But it was still possible to rely on this ambush to successfully defeat Bessie's pursuit plan, making the opponent unable to continue the pursuit.

In this way, Oberyn can return to King's Landing more easily and calmly, and then recuperate. Prepare to make a comeback and lead the army to attack the Reach again.

Unfortunately, Oberyn's ambush also failed.

He waited at the edge of the flood for a long time, but in the end he didn't wait for anything, and then he continued to embark on the road of escape.

The civil war in Westeros is changing, and almost all the great nobles except the Iron Islands have been involved in it.

It has been about a week since the Battle of High Court ended, and the news has gradually spread.

Many people already knew that the army led by Prince Oberyn had been slain in Highgarden.

"Have you heard, His Royal Highness Helos lost the battle."

And after that night, the regent Prince Heros Targaryen returned to King's Landing on the dragon Terex, his face extremely ugly.

He summoned his staff overnight, not the Imperial Council, and issued a series of orders directly, and asked Harry Strickland to return to King's Landing immediately.

At the same time, Heros also ordered the commander-in-chief of the capital garrison, Jacelyn Bywater, who had sworn allegiance to him, ~www.mtlnovel.com~ King's Landing will enter a state of combat readiness from now on, prohibiting anyone from entering or leaving.

King's Landing entered a state of blockade, and rumors suddenly spread on the street.

The news of the defeat of Oberon was only known to a few people, but it was accompanied by changes in the situation on the streets.

The army shuttled through the streets and alleys with a chilling air, and the news could no longer be concealed.

Everyone was rumouring that His Highness Helos had suffered a crushing defeat in Highgarden.

There are rumors that Prince Oberyn, the pillar of the Empire, has been killed in battle.

Others claim that the Prince of Dorn had died of illness before the war, which led to the sudden defeat at Waterloo.

It was even said that Inmon Targaryen was under the care of the gods of heaven, and that he was the only heir appointed by His Majesty the Emperor.

Because almost all the rulers of the Targaryen family have silver hair and purple eyes.

This is the will of His Majesty the Emperor and the gods, otherwise there is no way to explain that Heros Targaryen was singing all the way not long ago, and he was in a hurry, but he suffered a disastrous defeat when he broke the High Court.

Now all the rumors of King's Landing are spreading rapidly, and people are all panicked.

They don't know what's going to happen next, where the fate of this empire will go...

On the other hand, the old prince of Dorne can be considered to risk his life.

He led the remnants of the defeated generals who had escaped for a long time. They threw away everything that could be thrown away, and they were starving, almost gnawing on tree bark.

And now he was finally about to escape from the Reach and returned to King's Landing.

They retreated along the Avenue of Roses, and they could see the sea not far ahead.
