The Winter of Ice and Fire Is Coming

Qiaola led more than ten thousand threak cavalry to the north of Meerin City and laid ten squares.

At the same time, hundreds of warships appeared in Slave Bay, coming towards the west gate of Meereen City.

To the north of Meerin is the Dothraki Grassland, to the west is the Seaside Slave Bay, and to the east is a river flowing under the city wall. In this way, even the moat is saved.

The battleship that appeared to the west also made the atmosphere on the Meerin wall tense.

Responsible for the west defense is the Hazaka family.

The warships in the port of Meereen have been defeated by the sea king, some sank into the sea, and some were captured by the sea king. The slave trade was completely interrupted, and all merchant ships that could escape had already fled, and those that could not escape were either captured by Sea King or burned by Sea King.

The sages of Mi Lin hated the sea king deeply.

But on the sea, they could not defeat the Sea King, so they had to hold on to the city wall.

Qiaola and Sea King get in touch through the raven, Qiaora arrives under Meerin City, and Sea King also leads the battleship to appear under Meerin City. It's just one under the city to the north and one under the city to the west.

The great sages of Mi Lin appeared on the wall.

They don't care about the wall to the west. The west port has been abandoned, and the city gate has been built with stones from the inside, completely blocking the city gate.

The west wall is very high from the sea. The sea king can only abandon the boat and go ashore, and together with the Dothraki, it is possible to attack the wall from the north.

Qiaora rode to the sea with three hundred guards. Hundreds of Sea King’s warships landed, and tens of thousands of soldiers came ashore.

On the city wall, the wise masters looked far away, and no other army appeared on the grassland to the north.

The sages on the wall gathered around the ruling sage Yarman and they all concluded that this was only Daenerys' vanguard.

"When did the Dothraki learn the phalanx?" Green Saint Grazdan frowned. This is a bad signal, she would rather see the noisy Dothraki. They appeared in swarms, without a queue, attacking a certain city like a mob.

"This is a special battlefield training." Scaratz said, "It is said that Daenerys has been to Westeros mainland, and the noble jazz on Westeros is commanding operations by her side."

Under the city wall, the ten squares were neatly arranged, completely different from the past scenes scattered like a bazaar.

"Master Yarman, the enemy only has 10,000 cavalry. The Sea King's army is all naval soldiers. They are not used to land warfare, and they are all landing. It is messy. We might as well open the door to fight and defeat the enemy's 10,000 troops first. Lord Lexian said.

Yalman stood on the wall and said, "Dothraki's arrows can shoot up the wall, but can they climb up? I didn't see their siege tower."

"They will build a siege tower." Scaratz said.

"How to build it?" said Grazdan, the green saint: "We set fire to a hundred miles of the forest. They need wood to build a siege tower."

"Yes," said Yarman. "My sages, that's why I want to set fire to the villages and towns, burn the forests, burn all the villages and towns, they can't even find a piece of wood."

"But the river in the east is drinkable. Why is our poisonous water and weed plan useless for them?" Scaratz was puzzled.

"They must have found a witch or wizard to get rid of the poison of the Helicopter." Green Saint Grazdan said.

"It doesn't matter if they have water or grass, we just can't stick to it. It is not easy for them to build a siege tower. Even if they build a siege tower, our harpy will not spray boiling oil in it. Spray fire oil and burn their siege towers." Yarman said, "Not to mention that Daenerys has only two hundred thousand people, even two million troops, they can't break our defense."

"The only thing to consider are the three dragons of Daenerys." The Green Saint said, "Prepare slave women, children, and old people. The four walls and the top of the pyramid are all prepared in advance. As soon as the dragon appears, Just push the hostages out."

"The saint's words are right," said the sage Yalman, "Master Kandak, Master Lorak, slave women, children, and the elderly, please prepare now. Don't wait for the dragon to fly. ."

"Master Yarman, the women, children and old men of the slaves have already been arrested." Said Lord Kandak.

"I want them to be on the top of the pyramid, on the top of the city wall, and put them in the tower-top hut, the wall defensive house, food and lodging are not allowed to leave, and the unsullied person will guard them."

"Yes, sir, we will do it now." Kandak and Lorak sage said immediately.

Under the city wall, Chora and Sea King finished their greetings, and they rode horses back to the north wall from the coast.

"Sir Jorah, you see this city wall is so majestic and tall, there are harpies spraying boiling oil all over the wall, do you have siege equipment?"

"Master Aquaman, I have no siege equipment."

"So how are you going to attack the city?"

"Your Majesty, as long as I come to observe the structure of Meereen City, garrison troops under the city, and will not make me attack the city."

There was disappointment on Haiwang's face.

"Not attacking the city?"

"Don't attack the city."

"When will the Queen arrive?"

"She...is ill...it is difficult to determine when she will arrive."

Hai Wang's face was even more depressed: "Your Majesty is sick?"

"Yes."

"What disease?"

"This...I don't know."

Jora Mormon hesitated, making Aquaman even more unhappy.

"Seriously sick?" Hai Wang raised his voice.

"Not a serious illness."

"The queen just ordered you to garrison the city?" Sea King was unwilling. He was waiting for Daenerys' people to come and take revenge.

"Under the garrison city, observe Meerin City and find the city's weaknesses." Jora Mormon said.

"This city has no weaknesses. If there are no siege equipment, no amount of people will be able to break the city. The food and wealth in the city can support the city for more than three years. We cannot besiege Meerin City for three years. There is food and water in the city. "

"If you want to build siege equipment, you can't. We walked all the way, within a hundred miles, all the villages and forests have been set on fire by the wise masters of Milin. Some water sources and grassland have also been poisoned. water."

"Oh! This is a scorched earth tactic. These slaves mainly force us to retreat."

"Yes."

"Perhaps what we can do is to block the Slave Bay and cut off their slave trade and other businesses. But we block the sea like this and our own supplies are also a huge problem. There is no fresh water on the sea and no food can be produced. "

"It's really tricky." Jora Mormon said, "Master Aquaman, I want to take a look around this city first. Will you go with me?"

"This city is like this, what's so good about it."

"It's easier to see where to attack the city," Jora Mormont said.

"The four walls are as high as the city wall. On the west side is the sea, and on the east side is a large river running under the city wall."

"What about the south?"

"The moat connects with the big river on the east and the bay on the other."

"It seems that only the northern wall is left to attack the city?"

"exactly."

"I'm going to see the big river to the east and the moat to the south." Jorah Mormon said.

"Well, I'll accompany you." Hai Wang said disappointed, helpless.

0943 Chapter 2 Building a Siege Tower

The big river to the east is wide and the waves are surging, but it is not close to the roots of the city wall. There is still a certain distance from the river surface to the city wall. It is possible to land by boat, but the place where you can stand is very small and cannot accommodate a few soldiers.

On the wall, the slave army of the wise masters and the Unsullied Legion stood in battle.

Jora Mormon and Sea King turned to the south, and the moat on the south was close to the city wall. A tributary was manually excavated, and the water from the east was led down the roots of the city wall and flowed into the sea. Because the moat was dug by hand in the south, the wall stood completely on the water, and the ship could lean on the wall, but the soldiers had no place to land.

The south is steeper than the east, and the current is more rapid.

Jorah and Aquaman watched across the river with hundreds of guards. Aquaman had no interest in this, but Joura Mormon looked intently, as if they were facing a beautiful beauty.

Turning to darkness, Chora and Aquaman returned to the north. Under the city wall, the tents of the various legions have been laid down, and many soldiers went to the beach to bathe and swim.

On the city wall, the sages of Milin also relaxed. The enemy had no siege equipment, and the height of the city wall could not be surpassed by manpower. They achieved their goal: a strong wall and a clear country, a scorched earth policy. The enemy met on land and water, with tens of thousands of troops, not inferior to the strength of Meereen City, but they were helpless, even unable to attack the city.

In the evening, Jora Mormon and Aquaman had dinner together.

"Master Aquaman, how did you attack the city in the first place?"

"To the north, set up a siege tower to attack the city."

"Where is the tower?"

"I was attacked by the opponent's rocket and burned."

"How many siege towers were used?"

"One hundred seats."

"All burned?"

"Half burned."

"What about the other half?"

"After being defeated, it was thrown under the city wall, maybe dragged into the city by the slave soldiers, maybe burned down."

"I watched the Meerin City Wall this afternoon. I already have a way to break the enemy, but I need the help of Master Aquaman."

"You have a way? How to break the city?"

"Siege Tower."

"Build a siege tower?"

"Exactly."

"How to build without wood."

"There is wood, but Master Neptune needs to agree."

Aquaman stared at Jora Mormont: "Do you want to destroy my warship?"

"Yes, Master Aquaman."

"With a siege tower, it is impossible to attack the city wall. The harpy can spray boiling oil and kerosene. The siege tower is made of wood, kerosene and rockets, and it will be completely burnt.

"My siege tower will not be burned."

"Oh! Tell me the secret, and I will take the battleship out and dismantle it for you."

Jora Mormon said: "Okay, it's a deal."

Aquaman went over, and Jora Mormon whispered so. After listening to this, Sea King's eyes widened. After a while, he said: "Sir Jorah, great idea! Are you afraid that Her Majesty the Queen will blame you for not following the military order? She did not order you to attack the city.

"It is my duty to be a vanguard general to take down the city of Meerin and share the worries for Her Majesty."

"But you violated the military order."

"We are willing to be punished for breaking the order, but it is more worthwhile to win Mi Lin."

Early the next morning, there was a deafening chant on the west coast. Dozens of big ropes were tied to the battleship, and hundreds of people shouted chants to drag the battleship ashore.

On the city wall, the slave warriors and the Innocent Legion stared at all this, not knowing why.

What do these guys want to do with the battleship ashore early in the morning?

When the first warship was pulled under the northern city wall, the sages of the whole city stood on the city wall and watched.

The craftsmen in the army showed up, holding tools in their hands, and spent the whole morning dismantling the battleship into pieces. At the same time, the second battleship was pulled ashore by hundreds of people and dragged along the road to the square below the city.

Hundreds of craftsmen started to build siege towers and hit the city with hammers under the eyes of the wise masters.

In the afternoon, two more warships were pulled to the front of the Dothraki barracks, and then more people joined them, breaking the two warships into pieces.

The sages on the wall looked at the thousands of people below who were building siege hammers and towers like idiots. Lord Yarman smiled and said, "I really hope they can destroy all the warships."

The Green Saint smiled and said: "Master Yarman, they have to build at least 100 siege towers, and the number of warships to be demolished will exceed 30. It's a pity that our east and south walls are facing the water, and only the north side. The city wall can directly attack, otherwise, it is really possible to tear down most of the warships."

"Haha, as soon as the siege tower advances into the city wall, I will make it burn into flames in an instant."

At night, Wan Lai was silent. The heaven and the earth were in sleep, and suddenly, under the city wall, a horn sounded. The sages of Meerin City were unsure, they went up to the wall to watch, and saw that in the square under the wall, the enemy had lit countless torches. Hundreds of thousands of people began to build siege towers.

The sound of beating the wooden planks was particularly loud in the quiet of the night, and this noise continued until dawn. In the meantime, there were several whining horns, which made the wise masters and civilians of Meerlin City startled.

During the day the next day, construction continued, but the number of personnel decreased a lot.

The warship also continued to be dragged ashore by several ships.

On both sides of the ‘construction site’ where the siege tower was built, there were corps of more than 40,000 men.

From then on, every night, the sound of horns and ping-pong-pong construction accompanied the soldiers inside and outside the city wall into their dreamland.

Unknowingly, half a month passed, and the soldiers inside and outside the city were accustomed to falling asleep listening to the sound of construction and the sound of horns at night. Day by day, siege towers were built one after another, evenly arranged outside the city wall. For safety, the built siege towers were not placed in front of the formation, but pushed to the back of the army. This surprised the sage masters. According to Lord Yarman's tactics, the sages would not open the city gates to actively attack enemies outside the city.

On the sixteenth night, the day to break the city set by Jora Mormon and Aquaman came, and the indestructible city of Meerin was taken down tonight.
