Chapter 222, Joining the War (Ask for Subscription~!!)
Autumn is cool, clear and clear.
Outside the city, the breeze blows the ends of her hair and the corners of her clothes, and the dragon queen Daenerys rides her horse to the army of the Unsullied.
Behind him were the Unsullied soldiers armed with spears and leather shields, as well as the Dothraki cavalry who roared and rode their horses.
After several days of siege and fire, the garrison of King's Landing was overstretched, and the Lannister soldiers and the golden-robed men suffered heavy casualties.
Jaime Lannister and Bronn can only agitate civilians to defend themselves on the walls.
Ordinary civilians, untrained, how can they be opponents of the world-famous elite infantry unsullied?
In the face of the ferocious Dothraki warriors, they are no different from sheep!
Hundreds of thousands of people were crammed into the city, food had been depleted two weeks earlier, and hunger was the worst enemy in King's Landing, except for the enemies outside.
"Listen, the people on the walls!"
"Before you are the Stormborn, the descendants of Old Valyria, the queen of the Andals ancestors, the queen of the Roynards and the ancestors, the ruler of Westeros and the guardian of the realm, the Carrisy of the Great Seas of Grass, the Unburner, the Chainbreaker, the Queen of Meereen, the liberator of Astapor, the silver-haired queen, the princess of Dragonstone, the mother of dragons, Daenerys Targaryen, the queen of dragons!"
As the Dragon Queen spoke, the title was repeated by the soldiers around her who knew the lingua franca of Westeros, and soon reached the ears of everyone on the walls of King's Landing.
"These titles are worthy of her Unsullied Legion and Dothraki Cavalry, a bluff. ”
Hearing this series of titles, Bolong still looked like a prodigal look, but there was a little more solemnity in the ridicule.
Jaime frowned, "Are you scared?"
"Who isn't afraid?" Boronn rolled his eyes, pointed to the strong men who had been forcibly recruited, and said angrily, "Look at those shivering civilians. ”
"They may rush over at any moment to catch or kill us, and then open the door to the Dragon Queen, aren't you afraid?"
The Monarch Slayer sighed, "So, did I make a mistake by letting them come to defend the city?"
"There's nothing wrong with that. Bronn was even more depressed at the mention of this, and he was the one who proposed to hand over the weapons to the civilians.
Observing the enemy's small number of siege engines, Jaime Lannister said, "At least we can hold the walls, can we?"
"It's hard to say that even with the Lannisters' soldiers overseeing the battle, the Unsullied and Dothraki will surrender when they attack the city again. ”
Hearing the mercenary's words, Jaime shook his head firmly: "We must hold King's Landing!"
At this time, after the two of them did not care about the Dragon Queen's words of persuasion, the Unsullied Legion had slowly pushed the crash, wound the giant crossbow, and loaded the catapult with stones.
Bands of Unsullied men held shields and escorted Dothraki charging the walls with long ladders and siege ladders.
"Archers for me!"
"Steady, wait for them to get close before firing arrows!"
Seeing this, Jaime and Boron hurriedly gave orders to the militia defending the city.
However, ordinary civilians who have only taken up arms do not mention that they have not been trained or have never seen such scenes of war.
They were chronically short of meat, not many were physically strong enough, and King's Landing was too short to eat, so they pulled their bowstrings with almost all their strength.
Where is the strength to pull the bowstring steadily?
In a few breaths, the arrows flew sparsely towards the shield-raising Unsullied soldiers, or flew directly to the ground where no one was around.
Wasting feather arrows in vain will not create any effective killing.
"It's rubbish. Seeing this, Boron couldn't help but curse.
Jaime could only reluctantly continue to give the order: "Draw the bow again immediately, this time the overseers will all show me them, whoever releases the arrow in advance will not be polite!"
A squad of Lannister soldiers pointed knives at their backs, and the militia suddenly became more obedient to orders.
However.
Catapults and crossbows attacked, stones and bolts beckoned to the walls, and the warlords pointed knives at their backs, but the terrified militia remained ineffective.
They dropped their bows and arrows in panic, and were killed by the Overseers, only to be sparsely released again.
Dragons flying in the air swooped down, spewing flames towards the most enemy locations.
The militia could not stop the long ladder from being erected up the wall.
As the brave Dothraki warriors climbed the ladder and the siege ladder was pushed up to the walls, more Unsullied soldiers and Dothraki warriors rushed to the top of the city.
"Draw your sword and meet the enemy!"
"There is no mercy for those who escape!"
No matter what Jaime and Bronn ordered, no matter how the Warlords killed.
The militia, frightened by the Unsullied and the Dothraki, did not dare to fight such an enemy, because of the siege and siege of the city for days.
The mercenary hurriedly said to Jaime Lannister: "Don't shout, we have lost, and these civilians can't defend the city wall, run immediately!"
"No!" the kingkiller refused to retreat, "we must hold the walls!"
"We've fought off the Unsullied and Dothraki many times, and we'll fight them all off this time!"
Looking at the untouchables who had dropped their weapons and turned away in terror, Jaime still wanted to drive them back to deal with the enemy, but Boron grabbed him.
He said, "There were soldiers of your Lannister family before, and no matter how bad they were, they also had golden robes, and Daenerys did not send out dragons.
Now that the dragons are coming, we are no match for them at all!
While there is still time to have a boat, hurry up and take a boat to run!"
Outside the city walls, Daenerys on horseback had dismounted and slowly ascended to the back of her dragon Dragogon, with the queen herself helping the dragon in battle, and the Unsullied and Dothraki were extremely popular!
Won't let dragons breathe fire in places where their own soldiers are engaged with enemies.
But on the city wall, where the Unsullied and the Dothraki did not kill, the flames burst into flames in an instant!
The rout is irreversible.
Jaime was not reconciled, but for the sake of Cersei's safety, he could only ride to the Red Keep.
Back at the Red Keep Palace, he was about to look for his twin sister, who had become the Lion Queen, but Jaime didn't expect that she was coming towards the gate with three people.
In addition to Cobain and Robert Strong, whom he made from the corpse of the Magic Mountain, there was also a man in Valyrian steel armor, a demon helmet, and a sea monster battle axe.
Jaime immediately said, "Let's take Messira and run." ”
The Lion Queen shook her head when she heard this, and said calmly: "It's not us who should flee. ”
Bronn thinks Cersei Lannister has been stupid.
But her twin brother had already understood the source of her sister's confidence and looked at the man with the tomahawk in hand: "Is he Euron Greyjoy?"
Seeing the puzzled gaze of the monarch killer, Cobain smiled proudly when he heard this, "He is more powerful than Robert Strong, Sir Jaime, you can definitely repel the dragon queen with him." ”
Cersei also nodded to her brother, "Euron's power has become very strong now. ”
Polon was skeptical, apparently not believing that a Raven-Eyed Euron could defeat the three dragons, the Unsullied Legion, and the Dothraki cavalry.
"But we don't have an army. Jaime frowned, thinking that his sister might be crazy.
"It's time for you to show your strength, Euron. ”
