First of all, the last time I saw such a magnificent cavalry attack, it must be traced back to the Lord of the Rings 3. HBO is really shooting this show with rope life.
No more nonsense, just point the question:
1. Dragon Mom's dragons are very well applied in terms of strategy and tactics! And the joint combat with the cavalry was done in advance with the drill!
2. Dothrakima people are by no means a mob of barbarians (don’t mention the sincerity of free people), on the contrary, their prototypes are very powerful, which will be announced later!
First of all, let's explore what kind of existence the dragon mother's dragon is. That's right, it is a heavy bomber with super thick armor + infinite incendiary bomb-invincible existence.
Then the question is, whether Long Ma should ride the dragon alone and take the main force of the well-trained Lannister legion (yes, not the food transport unit. No! No! No! The important thing is said three times) ), delete the entire row, delete the entire column, and empty the table?
The answer is no, for the following reasons:
1. The dragon is invincible, but the dragon mother is not. Long Ma is like a pilot. After the dragon is under no control, he cannot conduct effective operations. But Long Ma has no protection. If there is no cavalry cover, the dragon becomes the only target being attacked. Even if the Long Ma and the dragon are not injured, they will be fired by the entire Lannister army's intensive salvo, which is difficult to reduce to effective. The distance of fire breathing (considering the safety of Longma). The principle is the same as the US bomber that was hit back into the clouds by Berlin's dense ground air defense fire during World War II.
2. The effect of combustion bombing is very poor. Even if you take the risk of diving into the fire, the ground forces face only one target, and they can disperse calmly to find cover. Do you want to clear the table? The Lion Family’s military combat capabilities and tactical qualities are absolutely superb.
3. The dragon mother and the little devil are not stupid at all. They have considered weapons that are specifically designed to deal with dragons, so they can't let the dragon attack alone. Preventing Long Ma from going to sea and destroying Uncle Tie's fleet is also the consideration.
Okay, let's take a look at the situation on Lannister's side. First of all, we have to clarify these points. The main force of the Lannister regiment is also divided into the cavalry regiment and the infantry regiment. This time I went to attack the high court, instead of besieging the city (the cavalry was useless, they didn't come together), and it had to be taken within a limited time, and things had to be brought back (note this is very important).
Therefore, what was dispatched this time was the family of all the infantry of the Lion family, and there was no reservation. So how much did Long Ma volley and eliminate? There is a very interesting translation error that misleads everyone
The ratio of the scale of gold to grain is 1:100, which may be less than that. The gold must be returned to the bank as soon as possible and must be shipped to King's Landing as soon as possible. Therefore, the one who escorted Jin Jin to King's Landing was actually a small group of elite troops marching faster. The big army marches slowly, but the load it can carry is also heavy, so it is actually the main army that transports food. The old Sir’s translation deviation of James’ report has caused some misunderstandings: “If the army encounters an ambush in the front, it will be impossible to reinforce it in time.”
Many friends understood this to mean that James’ food transport unit was ambushed in the front, and the main force of the army at the rear was too late to clear the siege! The original intent in English was "If our team leader is attacked, the team's end cannot arrive in time" (I really want to add an emoji here). Later there was the sentence in the James picture. (But this reveals that James actually neglected an infantry marching taboo: that is, in a place where there is no village in front or a shop behind, in order to transport food convoys, the front line is stretched too long. Once it is attacked by motorized cavalry units, it will be very difficult. Passive, this is the foreshadowing of the director).
So understand? It has always been this army, the main infantry regiment of the Lannisters. After hitting Rose's house, she shipped grain again.
Okay, let's see how Long Ma fights three-dimensionally and wiped out the main Lannister army here with a very small loss.
First of all, we have analyzed before that the dragon attack alone is not the best choice, and there are risks. Long Ma must be a military expert. Let the dragon as a weapon to break through the enemy's front and the option of suppressing the enemy's deep firepower is the most powerful use (and safe).
The shot above is very important. Although James's back is very heroic, what this shot really means is that Long Ma is leading the cavalry to charge, and the two cooperate very well.
And here I want to explain a little bit, why Long Ma doesn't spray along the infantry defense line. This is about the importance of the horse people.
The Lannister Legion is more than 10,000 infantrymen, and the horsemen are 30,000 capable soldiers and 30,000 horses! I dare say that although Grey Worm is more loyal, as the commander of Dragon Ma, apart from the three dragons and the fleet, the most distressed are these horsemen and horses. Long Ma’s kindhearted heart is not to say, what a precious combat resource this is, burned to death with Lannister’s infantry, you are the pervert of Xiao Bolton when you are Long Ma?
And for a more important reason, Ma Min’s powerful offensive was very small (think about the tragic situation on both sides of the Battle of the Bastards in the North), and there is no need to risk accidentally injuring friendly forces. The reason is like that in modern warfare, the tank corps has broken through the enemy's line of defense, and is preparing to pinch the enemy on the line of defense back and forth. You are bombing with cruise missiles along the line of defense at this time. Who is that bombing? Please, the accuracy is not so high, okay!
Here's another sentence, the prototype of Ma Min in the TV series is the Mongolian cavalry who swept the Eurasian continent back then! The strong are strong at the same point, riding a horse but not wearing armor, agile, good at riding and shooting, and the individual combat value is exploding! This kind of combat power is really reluctant to consume
So Long Ma next made another correct decision, suppressing the convoy and the enemy's depth.
Those who have watched the movie of Alexander the Great, whether military enthusiasts or not, should know that the heavy infantry squadron can defeat cavalry and chariots (even elephant soldiers). But the prerequisite is to fight into multiple teams and cooperate with each other instead of one line (so that the battle line can be easily broken through). Why do you want to set up like this?
There are two reasons:
1. There is a dragon in the sky.
2. To protect the team behind you! (Also the reason for the long formation)
See the importance of this batch of materials! (Stop talking about transporting your own troops and distributing them to the common people on the spot. There is really no need to discuss this.)
And the biggest feature of this material is combustibles and even explosives (most of the crops in Europe are made into flour, which means a bit of TNT when fried). Imagine what it is like to see the brave and well-fought Ma Min in front of him, and the arsenal being fired by someone behind him.
I want to see here, everyone should know about it. Men of science and engineering, don't write much, welcome everyone to discuss and brainstorm together.
Finally, I really want to say that although Long Ma is powerful, the Lion Family's army is awesome! Although they have been crushed, they are really the most sophisticated and high-quality army in the game of power. In the face of absolute power, mortals are powerless, they are already very good.
James is really heroic! Desperately, he was stunned when he took the dragon mother straight, just like the long loyal soul of Zhao Zilong in Changshan. I hope you, a fool, will shine in the war against the wardrobe after you go north! Don't die, don't die!
