I do think the writing was odd in this one. We were supposed to be unnerved by the scorpion but did anyone really think Drogon/Dany were dying in the first battle? I'm not saying it can't/won't happen, but they're not killing Drogon yet.
They needed Viserys or Rhegal out there as fodder to truly give the impression that a dragon might die.
Oh, and once again Dany demonstrates that she's A) and entitled shithead (seriously, isn't the kingdom worth your pride? Why does it have to be Jon's?) and B) A shit tactician. As has been noted - the day is won. In short order your Dothraki will have captured the scorpion or burned it down. Just get out of dodge.

You wouldn't need an Army if you had Dragons breathing fire over their infantry. You would just continuously pass overhead, out of reach of the undead, raining fire down upon them. You could land in the South, feed the dragons, then return to the North to continue the onslaught. It wouldn't be much of a battle.
