The figure of a rider slowly emerged on the distant hills. He wore a chainmail helmet, a mail shirt and leather armor, and just quietly looked at the chaotic Dothraki camp. Behind this rider, more and more riders appeared on the hills, about a thousand people in total.
This is a Mongolian team of 1,000 men.
When the shrill horn sounded throughout the camp, the Dothraki gathered quickly, and three thousand Dothraki warriors launched an attack. They poured out of the camp like a tide, driving their horses forward and making strange howling sounds.
The Mongolian captain looked at the Dothraki people who were swarming out, sneered, and gave an order behind him. A moment later, more than 200 Mongolian cavalrymen on double horses left the group and moved to the rear. The remaining Mongolians quickly formed three columns.
When they were more than 150 meters away, many Dothraki warriors began to shoot at the Mongols. For a while, the air was full of the "swish" sound of arrows. Although dozens of Mongols were shot and fell to the ground, because the Dothraki had no unified command and organization, they all shot individually, and the attack intensity was not enough (some of them were bone and stone arrows). In addition, the Mongolian cavalry were all wearing standard mail and leather armor, and had cavalry round shields, so the losses were basically not great.
The Dothraki rushed much closer, and a short whistle was heard from the opposite Mongolian army. Nearly a thousand Mongolian cavalrymen were in uniform, and almost at the same time raised their recurve bows. A round of locust-like arrows flew towards the unarmored Dothraki warriors with a "buzz". The screams of the Dothraki warriors suddenly became one, and hundreds of them fell off their horses. The Dothraki formation was already chaotic, and now it was even more chaotic. The speed of advancement also stopped. The cavalry that was not too chaotic was still advancing.
The Mongolian cavalry moved backwards while shooting, and the shooting speed was extremely fast, one round every five seconds. After three rounds of volleys, more than 500 Dothraki fell. The remaining Dothraki warriors became even more crazy, whipping their horses desperately, trying to rush to the front of the enemy as soon as possible. The Mongolian cavalry remained unmoved and continued to shoot and retreat.
The Mongol cavalry's horsemanship and shooting skills were terrifying. They rode their horses with impressive skill and fired like a well-organized machine.
A Mongol drew his bow and fired an arrow, hitting a pursuing Dothraki warrior. Upon receiving the shot, the Dothraki warrior fell from his horse with a crash, clutching his throat, trying to staunch the bleeding.
Scenes like these were repeated across the vast prairie. If an experienced Age of Empires player saw such a scene, they would consider it a typical Hit and Run play.
More Dothraki warriors fell to the ground, and the corpses of Dothraki were scattered across a distance of several hundred meters.
"No way! I've never seen this kind of fighting style before. These people are so fierce!"
After losing nearly eight or nine hundred people, the Dothraki came to their senses and began to retreat. Their horses began to slow down, and some of them had already turned their horses around. At this time, two short and one long whistles were heard, and the Mongolian troops "rustled" to the two wings, revealing several teams of Mongolian heavy cavalry in the middle.
These Mongol heavy cavalry wore a layer of chain mail inside and scale armor outside, and wore a Russian chain mail helmet with only two eyes exposed. They carried lances in their hands, and even their horses were covered with vests. Each team of fifty cavalrymen was arranged into five groups, with each group more than 20 meters apart and each rider one meter apart.
The first team of Mongolian heavy cavalry began to trot, then accelerated to a sprint, holding their lances flat, gradually forming an inverted V formation. The second team of Mongolian heavy cavalry followed suit, also trotting and accelerating to a sprint, and the third team did the same...
"By the Great Khan of the grasslands!!"
The Mongolian heavy cavalry let out a heart-wrenching roar, and fifty fierce riders crashed into the Dothraki line.
The sound of horses colliding with horses, the clash of weapons, and the screams of the Dothraki were one and the same. The Mongol heavy cavalry's lances charged, sending many Dothraki flying from their horses, some even piercing two men. The Dothraki warriors' arakhs were short, and they had no power to resist the lances. The Dothraki cavalry fell to the ground. The first wave of the Mongol cavalry killed more than fifty Dothraki warriors. After the charge, the Mongol cavalry immediately retreated to break contact and ran to the rear to regroup.
Just as the Dothraki were still in shock, a second wave of Mongol cavalry instantly felled them! Again charging with lances, and again, after a successful strike, they immediately broke away and retreated, taking over forty Dothraki lives! Then came the third, fourth, and fifth waves... Meanwhile, the remaining Mongol cavalry unleashed wave after wave of arrows on the Dothraki's flanks.
As more Dothraki warriors screamed and fell off their horses after being shot by arrows, the Dothraki became more chaotic: some shot back at the Mongolian cavalry on both wings, some ran around, some circled on the spot, and some still rushed towards the Mongolian cavalry with scimitars; the Mongolian cavalry on both wings always kept a distance from the Dothraki and kept raining arrows at the pursuing Dothraki.
The Dothraki center was littered with corpses and dying horses. Though they had lost only three hundred men, many were terrified and distraught. Their ranks were in disarray, their courage shattered. Unsurprisingly, when the Mongol sixth charge arrived, they collapsed! The chaotic crowd slapped their horses and fled, some even crashing into each other...
Seeing the Dothraki centerline collapse, a series of short and long whistles rang out from the Mongol army. Hearing the whistles, the Mongol cavalry on both wings sheathed their composite bows and grabbed shields, scimitars, maces, and bone spears, charging at the Dothraki. The Dothraki offered no resistance. In this close-quarters combat, their panicked arrows were inaccurate and rarely hit. Even if they did hit, because the bows were not fully drawn, they could not cause significant damage to the Mongol cavalry clad in chain mail and leather armor.
In hand-to-hand combat, the Dothraki were still at a disadvantage. They were too scattered and too disorganized. Basically, one Dothraki warrior had to deal with two or three Mongolian cavalrymen at the same time.
As a result, many Dothraki had impact of maces on the head, shattering his skull and splashing blood and brains., their bellies slashed open by scimitars, or were just lucky enough to have their shoulders broken by hammers, and they screamed on the grass...
Of course, there were some Dothraki warriors who, with their superb combat skills, killed several Mongol cavalrymen in succession. There were also some Dothraki who had their stomachs cut open and their intestines spilled out, but they still fought to pull the Mongol cavalrymen off their horses, biting them with their teeth and hitting them with their fists, but this still could not change the fact that the Dothraki were cut down one by one like grass...
Korgel dodged a Mongol cavalryman's scimitar by leaning back, then slashed him off his horse with a backhand blow. With a thud, he blocked another slashing blow, twisting the Mongol cavalryman's knife away and slashing his throat. Then a third Mongol cavalryman charged from Kugel's side and rear. Without time to turn, Korgel quickly pulled a meat-carving knife from his waistband with his left hand and threw it with lightning speed, sending the Mongol cavalryman falling backward with the knife lodged in his eye.
This was the seventh Mongol cavalryman killed by Korgel. Korgel was about to call on the remaining Dothraki warriors to gather around him when he heard a "hiss" and a short javelin shot into his chest.
With effort, he gripped the javelin's wooden handle with both hands and pulled it out with all his might. "Ho, ho, ho!" Korgel let out a rapid sound, and great clouds of foaming blood erupted from his nose and mouth, while blood spurted from his chest. A Mongol horseman galloped past Korgel.
And severed his head with a swift, precise cut.
"Crack!" Kugel's head rose, twirled several times in the air, and fell sadly to the ground. The bell behind his hair emitted a crisp
"ding-dong~ding-dong."
In the end, most of the Dothraki army was decimated, others were separated and rounded up to be captured and sold as slaves, and a few others escaped the battlefield.
The Dothraki casualties were terrifying: of the 2,000 cavalry, more than 1,000 were killed, and about 500 were captured by other forces.
The Mongol cavalry lost fewer than 200 men, a low figure compared to the Dothraki casualties.
