Chapter Forty-Four: Domination of Slave Bay

Distant Yuankai City,

"Rush!!" "Kill!"

Violent shouts echoed through the heavens and the earth, and the metallic smell of weapons mixed with the bloody smell of blood spread throughout the battlefield.

The ladders and arrow towers as high as the city walls were crowded with people, and they looked very heavy, as if a siege vehicle with a huge carapace was slowly advancing towards the city gate, and the Yuankai soldiers threw stones and arrows at the siege vehicle in vain, but they were blocked by the carapace outside the siege vehicle.

Of course, there were also 15 catapults lined up neatly in front of the Unsullied army outside the city.

However, at this time, in order to avoid injuring the friendly troops, the catapults all stopped attacking, and just stayed quietly in place, leaving behind a bumpy city wall and broken wall piers.

After all, the battle against Yuankai is definitely inevitable siege warfare, and it is not like the Lannister's raid on the Riverland or Ma Shen's raid on Meereen, and there is no time to prepare large siege equipment.

Therefore, in the past few days in Astapor, Ma Shen gathered all the craftsmen of Astapo in advance and taught them several common siege equipment that he knew, fortunately, because there were similar siege equipment in the world of ice and fire, the craftsmen were able to learn it by mistake, and it didn't take long to learn it, and show these siege equipment in front of Yuankai City.

"Get out of here!" a tall, burly officer on the city wall brandished his giant axe with a hideous face, and roared at an innocent man who had just climbed the wall.

The Unsullied raised his shield alertly, but was cut in half by the giant axe and the shield and fell to the wall.

"Victory!"

"Victory!"

。。。。。

Seeing that the officer was so powerful, the surrounding Yuankai soldiers cheered one by one, and the originally low morale slowly began to rise, and the movements also sped up a few points, until this seemingly brave officer was stabbed to the ground by the formation of five unsullied ones who rushed up to the wall.

The world of ice and fire admires strong warriors, whether it is in Westeros or in Slave Bay, personal bravery will be praised by countless people, such as in countless biographies, it is a certain king or a hero who leads the army to victory by relying on his strong personal strength.

As a result, their study of the art of war as a whole is somewhat shallow, just as Ma Shen taught the Night's Watch at the Great Wall of the North, and that in a real war, there are definitely more armies that rely on group strength to win than on individual bravery.

Just like now, the soldiers defending the city of Yuankai were in full swing at the beginning, not weaker than any army in the world, but once they were forced to retreat step by step by a few unsullied people and formed a camp, they began to be forced to retreat step by step, completely pressed and beaten, as if they were beating children, not to mention the continuous support of archers on the arrow towers outside the city.

"Sir Sir, we're going to win. ”

Not far from the city wall, a middle-aged mercenary leader was standing respectfully next to Knight Lorent, and on the other side stood a somewhat dissolute man in cloth armor.

They are the leaders of the Crow Regiment and the Second Son Regiment, two famous mercenary regiments.

Bohemian and uninhibited, looking like a bard, is the second son of Dario Naharis (originally a member of the Raven Band).

There were about 2,000 mercenaries under his command, and he was previously hired by the slave city-state Yuankai to defend against the enemy of the Astapor invasion, and was on the left flank of the defensive front, so the Knight of Lorent, who understood the nature of the mercenary group, sent someone to throw the news of Meereen's capture in front of the head of the second regiment, and sent a large amount of coins.

The capture of Meereen is equivalent to cutting off the back road, plus a lot of money, so it is normal for the mercenary group to fight back on the battlefield.

The leader of the middle-aged mercenary group is Planda Na Gisen, the leader of the Crow Regiment, and the banner is four crows separated by glowing arrows.

Just like the second group, the Yuankai side also hired the Raven Regiment to participate in the defense, but unfortunately the Maven of Yuankai did not expect that their enemies this time were not those poor Dothraki who could only rob and kill people, but the rich liberator army.

Ma Shen, who captured Astapo and surrounded almost all the good lords, was not short of money, so the Crow Explosion Regiment also surrendered with interest in the face of the temptation of gold and the threat of force from Lorent, and before welcoming the king, by the way, they also united with the second son group to trap the Maven.

For example, yesterday, the Maven fooled the Maven to send the army out of the city to fight, and then turned against him at a critical moment, attacking back and forth, and the Yuankai army that was stabbed with chrysanthemums undoubtedly collapsed, resulting in the few soldiers of Yuankai now can only retreat in the city, trying to resist against the city wall.

"They won't last long. At this time, the head of the Crow Troupe, with an upright face, looked at the city of Yuankai with a look full of pity, and he couldn't see that he took the lead in killing the Maven of Yuankai.

"It's still a little bit hot. Knight Lorent shook his head and ordered the herald behind him, "Order the 3rd Regiment of the Unsullied to the right wall... ”

"Boom!"

In the middle of speaking, a dull roar was heard from the battlefield, followed by the cheers of the siege soldiers and the desperate exclamations of the Yuankai soldiers.

Knight Lorent fixed his eyes, it turned out that after the fierce impact of the catapult and the huge impact of the siege vehicle, the city gate was finally overwhelmed, and suddenly collapsed, crushing the more than ten Yuankai soldiers blocking the gate behind the city gate, turning into meat sauce.

All the Unsullied who pushed the siege carts came out from under the siege engines and broke into the city.

"We won. Seeing that the city gate was broken, Lorient's face that was trying to maintain his composure couldn't help but flash a hint of joy, and he pulled out the giant sword hanging at his waist and rushed towards the city gate with countless troops, "Everyone, follow me into the city!"

"Order! Don't let go of a Maven when you enter the city!"

"Order! It is strictly forbidden for soldiers to burn, kill, and loot, and those who violate the order will be killed!"

Yuankai is the smallest of the three major cities, but it also has a population of nearly 200,000, and is the third largest city-state in the entire Slave Bay, which is a very large city, but now the giant city is also beginning to fall.

。。。。。。。

Half an hour forward, realizing the seriousness of the matter, the slave owners of Yuankai (the sages) gathered in the sage chamber one by one to discuss their next plans, which were at stake for their lives and property.

"The mercenaries who took our money turned against them on the battlefield, and I knew I shouldn't trust them. A pot-bellied Maven slapped the expensive golden wood tabletop hard.

"What's the use of talking about this now, those damned slaves outside are about to come in!" the Maven who spoke moved a few times in his seat with some uneasiness.

"We can retreat to Meereen, and the great lords of Meereen will surely accept us. A flash of fire flashed in the eyes of the youngest Maven on the field, "We haven't lost yet. ”

There was a lot of discussion, and the sages in the council hall all used their brains, giving full play to the spirit of the three stinkers and Zhuge Liang, and discussing loudly.

However, an old sage who sat in the middle and usually had enough prestige and wealth to be elected by others as the head of Yuankai sat on his seat with a pale face, and just watched the other sages discuss.

After a while, the Mavens said a lot, came up with many ideas, each with its own reasoning, and finally turned their eyes to the silent old Sage: "What is your suggestion?"

"There is no turning back. The old Maven's somewhat pale lips pursed together, "I didn't tell you, I received news not long ago that Meereen had been attacked by the liberator, and most of the great lords had also fallen to Meereen City. ”

Hearing the words of the old maven, the rest of the people immediately became in an uproar.

"Oh my God!! you bastard didn't even tell us. The pot-bellied Maven rushed to his head, rushed up and grabbed the old Maven's collar, no longer caring about any dignity and humility, who would care about any dignity and humility when everyone was in danger and Yuan Kai was going to be contributed.

While the scene was in chaos, a timid Maven suddenly struggled to his feet and ran towards the gate: "I will go out and surrender! ”

"You're crazy! they're the liberator's army, and they won't let us go. A middle-aged Maven sitting on the edge stood up with a distorted face, blocking in front of the timid Maven who wanted to go out and surrender, "Since Meereen can't go, let's quickly leave Kaiyuan by boat, leave Slave Bay, sooner or later we will come back again." ”

"Yes, yes, let's hurry up and take a boat. ”

"Hurry up, hurry up. ”

The Mavens crowded a honeycomb and ran towards the gate.

But before the Maven could reach the door, the door suddenly opened from the outside, and a mysterious man in black leather armor with a long sword hanging from his waist slowly walked in while clapping his hands, "Good idea, but unfortunately it's too late." ”

"It's a pity it's too late. The mysterious man stretched out an eye and a mouth in his left hand and repeated in a crisp doll voice.

"Devil, devil!" said the Maven, who was running at the front, was so frightened that they sat on the ground.

"Who are you, how did you get in!"

"Guards!

"Your guards are lying on the ground. Listening to the wails of the Mavens, the mysterious man opened the door completely with understanding, revealing the scene outside the door to the eyes of the Maven inside.

A thick layer of blood flowed slowly from under the wooden door into the house, and the guards who guarded the door lay on the ground, neatly split in half, their wide eyes full of fear and confusion, for they had no idea what had cut them in half.

"Also, to emphasize, I am not a devil, you can call me the Praetorian Guard, the Praetorian under Lord Liberator. The mysterious man shook his head, his left hand flicked slightly, and the bodies of several Mavens who tried to escape to the door instantly split in half, "I am on the orders of the Knight of Lorent, and I specially ran over to invite you to meet with the Knight of Lorent. ”

Dusk came, eagles attracted by the smell of blood flew high in the sky, and a Xuanniao flag was unfurled in the wind on the supreme power building.

Slave Bay was officially unified.
