In the final month of Aegon 298, Stannis Baratheon finally completed his integration with the Stormlands Lords, leading a vanguard of more than 20,000 men outside King's Lands, most of whom were the most elite knights and freeriders.

At the same time, he ordered his confidant Sir Imre Florent to lead a large fleet to complete the siege of the capital of the Seven Kingdoms by water.

Since then, King's Landing has been completely cut off from the outside world, and the city's troops and residents have relied on a few reserves to survive.

In particular, the price of food has long exceeded the limit that most people can afford, and often a piece of black bread, which is usually only worth half a copper plate, now costs several silver deer to buy.

As Zhang Cheng, who had hoarded a large amount of grain in advance, he naturally would not let go of such an opportunity to make a fortune, and immediately ordered Blanco to secretly sell off part of his reserves, and in just two or three days, he made his fortune from tens of thousands of gold dragons to more than 400,000 gold dragons.

Of course, these 400,000 gold dragons are not all precious metal currencies such as gold and silver, but also many collateral such as precious stones, handmade carpets, spices, horses, armor, and weapons.

As for the price, it is naturally pressed to a low level, and some of them are basically not much different from the Ming robbery.

After all, when people feel hungry, they often lose their minds, and all they think about is how to fill their stomachs, and Zhang Cheng took advantage of this to loot private wealth to expand his strength and prepare for the next plan.

However, this happy time did not last long, and Stannis, who had come from afar, rested a little, and immediately launched an attack on King's Landing, which was weakly defended.

With the shouts of slaughter, the most important battle in determining the ownership of the Iron Throne, the Battle of the Blackwater River, finally kicked off......

"See, my dear friend, this is Stannis's proud fleet, and we must destroy it before it can do enough damage, or we won't be able to hold out for three days with our current forces. Tyrion stood at the head of the city, staring solemnly at the approaching warships on the water in the distance.

Zhang Cheng swept the nervous city defense troops around him with sharp eyes, smiled and nodded: "I completely agree with your point of view. Tell me, what's your plan, and what do you need me to do?"

"It's easy! I'm going to wreak havoc on Stannis's fleet in one fell swoop, forcing him to fight a protracted siege with us. Your mission is to try to get as many ships as you can from the back bread clips and make sure they sink them before they escape into the sea. The little devil explained bluntly.

Although this is not the first time he has participated in a brutal war, it is the first time to command a war from the perspective of a decision-maker, and the tension in his heart can be imagined.

"Don't worry, I promise that tonight will be the end of this fleet, and no matter how much they struggle and howl, they will not escape the fate of death. Zhang Chengyi assured.

"Really?" Tilly raised an eyebrow in surprise, visibly unconvinced.

"Hehe, someone once said that no verbal threat is more powerful than a clean action. It's three hours until dark, and you'll see what I mean in three hours. After that, Zhang Cheng owed a little and left the city with his men.

Before he could walk more than ten meters, Blanco immediately couldn't wait to ask: "Sir, is it time to do it?"

"Yes, go tell the mercenaries to get ready for battle, and if you're lucky, their names will leave a mark on history after tonight, and you'll be rewarded with a lot of riches. Zhang Cheng replied without thinking.

"Understood! I'll let you know!" the old mercenary bowed, turned and disappeared into the alley around the corner.

......

When the last rays of the sun fade into the sea, King's Landing finally ushered in the dark night, which was also a signal for the two sides to go to war.

Before the residents of the city could react to what was happening, the earth-shattering war drums and shouts of killing immediately echoed over the city.

This was followed by a rain of arrows and stones that crossed a graceful arc and landed near the walls of the city or near the houses.

For a moment, screams, wails, and terrified cries of women and children mingled to the toll of war on civilians.

But unfortunately, no one here cares if they live or die.

Standing at the entrance of a hidden cave by the sea, Zhang Cheng enjoyed the scene of the fire hundreds of meters away, while gently stroking the restless young dragon beside him, and comforted softly: "Calm down, it's not your turn to play yet." ”

"Whew!"

The young dragon let out a low howl, and its violet eyes were filled with undisguised excitement.

Just when Zhang Cheng was about to say something, Blanco suddenly burst in from outside, panting and reported: "Sir! Our men have already boarded the ship and are ready to attack at any time, and we are waiting for your order now." ”

"Be patient, wait for Tyrion to finish his performance before it's our turn to take the stage. Look, the beautiful fireworks show is about to begin. As he spoke, Zhang Cheng quickly turned his gaze to the water in the distance.

I saw that the huge fleet was slowly approaching the city dock in order to cooperate with Stannis's attack from the ground, not realizing that a huge trap had opened its mouth and waited for their arrival.

In order to attract more enemy ships into the ambush area, the little devil even sent a small number of royal fleet coefficients to fight a large number of enemy ships near the mouth of the Blackwater River.

When the two sides were almost in the melee stage, he immediately ordered people to pull up the huge iron chain net that had been prepared for a long time, firmly trapped all the ships, and then gave the order to throw wildfires.

Next Second......

Boom, boom, boom......

The jars burning with deadly green flames were thrown into the water one by one by catapults by catapults, and in just a few seconds, the entire surface of the river became a living purgatory.

More than half of the ships were destroyed in the instant of the wildfires, and some desperately turned around and fled in the direction of the sea, for fear of accidentally stepping into the footsteps of the hapless ones.

"Oh, oh my God! it's horrible!" Blanco shuddered uncontrollably, his eyes filled with awe and fear.

"How's it going? Isn't it spectacular? Let's go, it's time for us to perform. Remember, don't chase the ships that have escaped into the sea, I need to train this little guy in combat. As he spoke, Zhang Cheng patted the young dragon's forehead, raised his arm and made a take-off gesture.

When the young dragon saw it, it immediately spread its wings and soared into the air with a whoosh.

Under the cover of night, it silently approached one of the Stannis ships, swooped down, and spewed deadly dragon fire at the frightened sailors......
