Chapter 161 Burn! Tyrosh (2)

"What?" Krahas grabbed the pirate's collar and asked, "How could Tyrosh be burned?"

"It's all true!" The pirate did not dare to resist and said with a sad face, "We could vaguely see the light of fire on the ship in the middle of the night. We thought it was just a fire.

But now the fire is getting bigger and bigger, lighting up the entire sky!"

The expression on Prince Krahas of Myr's face froze, and it took a long time before he shouted, "No! Tyrosh!!"

The shrill screams echoed on Bloodstone Island. The "Crab Feeders" knew that they were too far away now and could not take away the heavy Dragon Shooting Crossbow for a while. It was already too late for them to rush over!

Once Tyrosh is destroyed, how can the three cities maintain an alliance?

Time went back to ghost hour, and the night on the sea gradually deepened.

Above the clouds and mist are the flying figures of several giant beasts.

"We won't go head-to-head with the pirates' defenses this time..." Dragon Knight Lanino remembered what Rhaenyra said at the war meeting.

"Bloodstone Island and Gray Gallows Island are full of sand dunes and obstacles. Archers occupy high positions and infantry stick to the ground.

We repeatedly fired low-altitude fire with dragon fire, but the pirates only had to retreat to the crypt. Although the dragon could keep circling over Bloodstone Island until it was exhausted, there was no point in doing so."

"Don't forget what we are here to do! Behind the pirates are city-states. Even if you kill all the pirates, it will not help. The shipyards can still build large ships, and the city-state mercenaries are making a comeback again."

"So tonight, we are going to..." Rhaenyra pointed to one side on the map, where there was a majestic city above the Stepstone Islands.

"My goal has never changed. These days' attacks are just to paralyze the pirates and their masterminds - the Tri-City Alliance. Now Tyrosh's defense and vigilance have been greatly reduced!

The time has come to take action!

The fleet and the dragon knights set out at full speed to catch them off guard!"

Syrax slowed down and flew ahead, and Lannino also put away his memories, "It turns out that this is Rhaenyra's plan, keeping all of us in the dark..."

Not only were none of our own people aware of it, but even the pirates were swayed.

What Lanino didn't know was that Prince Krahas of Myr had also been deceived. He had laid an ambush tonight, hoping to wait for Rhaenyra to come to her door. He thought he was the clever hunter, letting the dragon relax its vigilance.

...As a result, no shadows of the dragons were seen.

Tyrosh was about to arrive, and Rhaenyra's heart was filled with ripples.

She is not a military genius, but only knows two moves!

The first move was to cut off the enemy's food route, and the second move was to cover up the enemy's enemy's supply and attack from the east to the west. If these two moves didn't work, she would be blind.

"One trick can conquer the world. With the cooperation of the dragon, this is the best strategy I can think of."

Mobility and powerful destructive power are the strengths of the Dragon Knight.

Velaryon and the royal fleet were speeding below, and Rhaenyra had issued an order early in the morning, telling them to set off immediately after replenishing and resting during the day.

At that time, Velaryon thought Rhaenyra was preparing to attack Bloodstone Island at night.

Krahas is a very ambitious man. He will not be satisfied with just ruling the barren land on the Stepstone Islands. Therefore, he frequently attacks merchant ships in the Narrow Sea, resells goods everywhere, and then goes to Slaver's Bay or the Shivering Sea.

Buy or capture slaves and wildlings to fill the population of Bloodstone Island.

What he studied was the history of Tyrosh's fortune.

Rhaenyra was not unfamiliar with the nearby male city as she had just been here some time ago, so she was familiar with it. Fortunately, she transformed into a witch and walked the streets and visited places. Now she knows where to attack and can bring the city to a standstill!

"Go, be gentle!" Rhaenyra noticed that the fleet had begun to land on the beach, which was still some distance away from Tyrosh and was in a remote corner.

"Control all the people here in the dark!" Loras Gate was responsible for commanding the team that went out to fight first. When they entered the sleeping small fishing village, there was a burst of movement, and then it fell silent.

"There is no need to kill them. Controlling these fishermen is a waste of time." Rollas Gate walked into the fishing village, "But if there is resistance, kill them immediately."

This time the blitz against Tyrosh relied on speed, and we couldn't delay here.

The soldiers landed quickly and were quickly assembled. Rhaenyra could only see densely packed figures on the dragon's back.

Unlike the Velaryon fleet, Rhaenyra's royal fleet had received the secret mission a few days earlier.

After several days of secret preparation, Rhaenyra's men relied on the dense forests on Tarth Island to make some simple siege equipment.

The soldiers brought the equipment over and assembled it immediately.

There are more than a dozen ladders and several very crude battering rams.

A large log was hung with thick ropes on several pillars that supported it, and then four wheels were added under the pillars to create this simple battering ram.

The soldiers lined up and quickly headed towards the city gate of Tyrosh. The mercenaries who had received war missions were distributed on both sides. The difference between them was that they did not have as strong armor as the soldiers, and they also had a variety of weapons, unlike the soldiers.

Standard long sword and bow and arrow.

Harold Dark said to his soldiers and attendants, "Raise your elite shields and protect the siege troops."

The soldiers quickly moved and followed the siege soldiers, raising their shields high to protect our soldiers from being attacked with fire arrows and spears by the city mercenaries and guards.

"Archers! Get ready!" Arnold, the leader of the clan soldiers, waved. The brave clan soldiers and the dragoons who were good at riding and shooting immediately lined up in two teams. They all held dragonbone longbows or weirwood longbows made by King's Landing craftsmen.

With bows, their shooting range can reach four hundred yards, which is approximately three hundred and sixty-six meters.

"Lock the arrows and aim!" Arnold saw the archers in position, so he began to order. The archers aimed their arrows at the sentries on the wall, "Fire the arrows! Fire the arrows!"

In an instant, a dozen tiny sounds pierced the air across the silent night. The sentries on the city wall were hit by arrows almost at the same time and fell to the ground together, roaring and wailing in pain.

"Enemy attack!!!"

In an instant, the originally quiet city gate fortress immediately became noisy. The guards who were awakened in the middle of the night immediately began to arm themselves and quickly rushed to the city wall.

On Arnold's side, seeing that the sentries were not being cleared away quietly, he no longer continued to hide.

"Go!" As Garon Baich shouted, the soldiers immediately lit the torches, and the heavily armored infantry immediately pushed the battering ram to the outside of the closed city wall gate.

The city guards completed their arming as quickly as possible and ran up the city wall. Arnold saw enemies starting to climb the city wall, so he immediately ordered, "Free fire! Don't let them affect the siege ram!"

The archers who received the order immediately began to pour a storm of arrows at the city wall, and the archers among the mercenaries also began to throw arrows at the city wall to suppress the city guards who ran up the city wall.

The Tyroshi people who were suppressed by arrows were not fools. Immediately, the soldiers who came later brought many shields to withstand Arnold's arrow suppression.

At the city gate below the city wall, many city mercenaries came here and stood against the city gate, trying to prevent the battering ram from opening the city gate. However, this historic city gate was still struck again and again by the battering ram.

Under the impact, it began to shake.

"Archers, fire arrows!" Here, Arnold saw that the enemies on the wall began to raise their shields to cover their archers to launch a counterattack, so he immediately ordered the archers to use fire arrows instead. Then, he moved his shoulders and rushed forward quickly.

Towards the city gate, he raised his hand to push away an infantryman, grabbed the battering ram himself, and ordered the soldier operating the battering ram to take a few steps back with him, "Listen to my order! One, two, three, hit!"

Boom!

A dull sound sounded, the city gate of Tyrosh shook, and a lot of dust fell from the door panel.

"Come again!"

Boom!

The battering ram hit the city gate again, and Arnold could clearly see that the city gate was beginning to deform.
Chapter completed!
