內文有GOT雷，不想被雷者請左轉。 本來權力遊戲的文章應該要發去EAseries板的，但是前幾天看到一篇有De Re Militari 組織的成員受訪的文章，來分享一下。 The 'Battle of the Bastards' Proved One Bastard Wasn't as Clever as He Thought https://goo.gl/8Vc57P 文中有提到受訪的是馬里蘭羅耀拉大學的學者Kelly DeVries，他專門研究中世紀戰史 (ex.百年戰爭)，而且常參與媒體的歷史性節目，他在這篇文章中提到的幾個要點： 一，波頓軍不應該出城 “Ramsay Bolton would have been better to stay behind the walls of his fortification,” “There would never have been a concerted siege effort like we saw with the siege of the Blackfish and so forth.” Ramsay Bolton待在城內會是個比較好的選擇，對方不可能有辦法執行類似黑魚之圍的有 效的圍城。 二，波頓軍竟然射自己人 "We absolutely have no single example of someone shooting into their own troops" in that time period, DeVries says. "It just would not have happened. Everyone valued the life of a soldier too much ... [This tactic] is far more evil than anybody we could encounter in the Middle Ages." DeVries表示中世紀戰史從來沒有一個案例是下令射擊己方的部隊，因為所有人都非常寶 貝士兵的性命，這種戰術比任何已知的行動都更邪惡。 三，波頓軍竟然沒有偵查到河灣軍 "Most commanders would have posted scouts and had some awareness, some intelligence that a large force are advancing on them," said DeVries. "That doesn't happen as often, the absolute surprise of large forces doesn't happen." 大多數指揮官都會部署斥候並保持一點警戒心，以利得知有大部隊正在朝自己前進。大部 隊完全突然的出現並不太會出現。 "Ramsay was terrible at it," he continued. "We don't have a lot of indications of his military capabilities before ... whereas Jon Snow led troops many times before in battle." "Ramsay, once on the battlefield, he's like many generals throughout time, who are so cocky about their abilities and their forces' abilities and their numbers that they cause some terrible defeats on the battlefield," DeVries added, comparing the Bolton force's destruction to the French defeat at Agincourt in 1415 and the Turkish victory over European crusaders at Nicopolis in 1396. "They play into the opposing generals' game and pull defeat out of the jaws of victory." DeVries把Ramsay Bolton比喻成1415年在阿金谷的法軍或1396年在尼柯波利斯的十字軍， 坐擁優勢卻自毀前程。 Kelly DeVries其實還蠻喜歡寫冰與火之歌的東西的，另一篇： Game of Thrones as History: It's Not as Realistic As It Seems--and That's Good https://www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/2012-03-29/game-thrones-history 這篇是好幾名學者分別講不同的議題，比如說： http://www.livescience.com/44599-medieval-reality-game-of-thrones.html DeVries有提到一個重點，中世紀戰爭的陣亡者大多數都是死於失血過多，特別是那些身 穿甲冑的上層貴族，更鮮少如影集中那般被命中要害而立刻死亡， 還有就是影劇中的箭矢命中率太高了。 嘛...因為看到所以分享一下XD 用史實來看虛構作品也是蠻有趣的。 -- We must be the great arsenal of Democracy. ~ Franklin D.
