356 Battle of the Defending of the City
Outside Meereen City, the blood-red eyes of hundreds of Yuankai people looking at the sky appeared in the west, and then disappeared into the eastern horizon.
Now the sky was back to normal, leaving only the afterimage of a blood-red arc.
The scorching sun was as hot as ever, but it couldn't dispel the chill in everyone's hearts.
The terrifying bloody eyes, the devastating gaze, made the entire battlefield silent.
"The gods of Giscali are watching!" Someone shouted loudly.
More people responded.
The battlefield that had just been pressed the pause button resumed its hustle and bustle again, but no one cared about the city in front of it.
That terrifying scene haunted the hearts of the soldiers, making them fearful, trembling, and uneasy, and finally turning into fanaticism.
Countless people dropped their weapons, fell to their knees, bowed to the sky, and prayed loudly.
On a high ground at the back of the battlefield, the twenty-four Elder Lords of Yuankai looked at each other, their eyes showing a sense of bewilderment.
In the end, everyone looked to the Supreme Commander of the Yuankai Army, Grand Marshal Gozaka Zo Erraz.
Gozaka squirmed on his horse, and the bloody eyes in the sky made him pee his pants, and it was uncomfortable to be sticky.
"Or ...... Withdraw troops first? He asked tentatively, feeling a little apprehensive about the terrible scene just now.
Most of the Mavens nodded in agreement, but one of the mercenaries on the periphery shouted:
"How can we withdraw troops at this time?"
Gozaka subconsciously frowned, and when he saw that it was the Ragged Prince who was the leader of the Wind Blowing Regiment who spoke, he said patiently:
"The soldiers were frightened, and at this time they continued to attack......"
"Why are the Gis frightened by their own gods?" The Ragged Prince asked rhetorically, "It's the strangers who should be afraid." ”
Gozaka thought thoughtfully.
One of the Mavens spoke, "How do you know that thing is the Giscali gods?" ”
"Isn't that obvious?" "This is Slave Bay, the territory of the gods of Giscali, and when they see outsiders invading, especially those with dragons, they will of course perform miracles." Maybe the dragons in the city had already died in that blood light at this time. ”
"That's right! It was the divine punishment of the gods of Giscali! Gozaka finally came to his senses.
Although he himself was not sure if the gods of Gizcali had descended, it was enough to fool the low-level soldiers.
"The gods are protecting us! It's time to pay back the blood debt to the Valyrians! Command the whole army and launch a general attack! ”
"Yes!"
Only then did the Ragged Prince breathe a sigh of relief, he was really worried that these Yuankai people would choose to withdraw their troops.
Of course, he doesn't really care about Meereen's belonging, but as the leader of a mercenary group, he must pay attention to interests.
The Wind Blowing Regiment has already invested heavily in this war, not only has he arranged spies in the city, but also bought a group of Meereen nobles with a lot of money, and if the Yuankai people withdraw their troops, his investment will be wasted.
Mercenaries don't talk about honor, but they will never lose their own interests.
The order to attack was passed down layer by layer.
Sure enough, as Gozaka and the others had predicted, the morale of the Yuankai army began to rise rapidly, and after learning that they were protected by the gods, the Gies fell into a frenzy of revenge.
At this moment, they seemed to have become the vengeful messengers of the Guggis Empire, roaring and rushing towards the tall walls of Meereen, vowing to wash away the shame of destroying the country with the blood of the dragon.
The rhythm of the battlefield suddenly became extremely bloody and brutal.
The people of Yuankai gathered like ants and rushed towards the walls, arrows and spears flying in the air like locusts, scimitars and hammers glittering in the sun.
The shouts of killing were deafening, but they could hardly hide the screams of the wounded soldiers.
Flags of all colors fluttered in the wind, but the most conspicuous color was the dazzling blood red that kept flowing.
Six huge trebuchets lined up in a rough crescent shape, enclosing the eastern half of Meereen, and projectile continuously.
However, instead of a boulder, they threw a corpse.
Boom!
A corpse landed at the head of the city and smashed into the front of the watchtower, splattering out of the flesh and brains like a rainstorm.
Flying severed limbs landed at Sir Jorah Mormont's feet, forming a slimy puddle of rotten flesh.
"They must be stopped!" Scaratz held his breath and took a few steps back.
He was originally a second-class nobleman in Meereen, and after Daenerys captured Meereen, he was one of the first local nobles to offer his loyalty, and in order to show his determination to abandon the Guise culture, he shaved off the most characteristic hairstyle of the Guise people, leaving only a sleek bald head, which earned him the nickname "Lord Round Head".
Daenerys organized the slaves of the local revolt in Meereen to form the Beast-Faced Army, and the "Lord Roundhead" was appointed commander.
"Otherwise the morale of the army will collapse." Scaratz looked at the expressionless Unsullied and added, "My army will collapse." ”
The Commander of the Unsullied, Grey Bug, glanced at Scaratz faintly and said:
"Your Majesty only ordered us to guard the city gates, so the Unsullied will not go out of the city to fight."
Scaratz pointed to the remains of the corpse on the ground, and his tone suppressed anger and panic:
"These corpses will bring blood plague! The morale of the army will also drop rapidly, believe me, the beast-faced army is not innocent, they still have an instinctive fear of death and disease, if this continues, my people will run out! ”
"The Unsullied don't run." Gray Worm replied lightly.
Because the Unsullied have no brains! Scaraz slandered in his heart, but he couldn't do anything about the other party.
Meereen's Unsullied only obeyed the Queen's orders, and he didn't know how to convince them.
As he spoke, Scaratz saw six more fresh corpses flying into the sky outside the city.
But at this moment, a huge shadow suddenly passed overhead.
"Dragon!"
Someone shouted.
Scaratz saw one corpse engulfed in flames, and another body was bounced off by the white dragon wings, smashing into the middle of several Yuankai cavalry.
"It's Caesar's White Dragon!" The cheers of the city grew louder and louder.
The white dragon's target was obviously the six trebuchets, and when he saw it swoop down, a bright red line of fire gushed out of its mouth, and in an instant, it ignited one trebuchet.
The Yuankai soldiers operating the trebuchet fled frantically, and some tried to put out the fire, but the fire grew stronger and stronger.
Even from such a distance, Scaratz seemed to smell the burnt smell, the smell of victory.
Hurried footsteps sounded behind him, and when he turned around, he saw Sir Jorah Mormont running up with his sword in armor and hand, and said:
"Her Majesty has an order, the Beast-Faced Army will continue to guard the city gates, and the Unsullied will attack with me!"
"Yes!" The gray worm decisively took the order.
When the army had finished lining up in the tall shadows of the iron gates, Sir Jorah turned his horse's head, looked at the dozens of Dothraki cavalry behind him, and said:
"Rush out later, remember to follow me! Kill as many nobles as you can, but don't blindly storm Yuankai's military formation. ”
The Dothraki nodded in confusion.
Jorah didn't say much, such a little steppe cavalry was not the main force of this attack, the unsullied ones were.
But it takes time for the Unsullied to get out of the city and line up, so his task is to buy them enough time to set up their shields and lay out their spears.
"May the gods watch over us." Jorah took a deep breath and said loudly, "Command, attack!" ”
Rumble!
The third trebuchet is engulfed in dragon fire.
Samwell rode the white dragon and quickly flew over the heads of the panicked Yuankai soldiers.
After failing to find Viseryon, he did not entangle with the Iron Fleet, but returned to Meereen to help the Unsullied defend the city.
Arrows and spears came in quick succession, but they were unable to inflict substantial damage on Cleopatra.
The people of Yuankai had apparently not thought about how to target the dragons, perhaps they thought that they had encountered at most Daenerys' three young dragons in Meereen, rather than Cleopatra, who were already adult in terms of size.
After no large shooting weapons such as bed crossbows were found in the Yuankai army, Samwell knew that the end of the war was sealed.
The white dragon has no natural enemies here, and can run wild.
This was a fatal blow to the morale of the Yuankai army, and since the previous commander of Yuankai claimed that the vision of the sky was a divine punishment from the gods of Giskari in order to boost morale, now, the dragon did not die under divine punishment.
The panic of the Yuankai people can be imagined.
Every time the dragon flew over a battlefield, it was surrounded by Yuankai soldiers fleeing in all directions, even with its current dragon flame power, it couldn't actually burn many people to death.
More enemies are scared away.
When the last trebuchet was also destroyed by Dragon Flame, the eastern gate slowly opened, and a group of Dothraki cavalry, led by an armored knight, rushed out.
Even if there are obviously not a few people, they have rushed out of a kind of momentum of thousands of troops.
The people of Yuankai fled in all directions, not paying any attention to the unsullied ones who had left the city to line up.
By the time the Unsullied were in a safe formation outside the city, Samwell knew that the situation was settled.
