Chapter 179: Re-engraving the Battle of Aegon the Conqueror
Looking at the troops waiting in front, Drogo had no sense of urgency and only felt funny.
Four to five thousand people dared to stop tens of thousands of brave warriors and three giant dragons. In his opinion, those people's heads were really wet.
Seeing that people with pointy ears accounted for the majority, it goes without saying that the leading force of that motley army was the Florentine family of Queen Celis.
Drogo walked up to the towering ship building, looked coldly at the enemy and shouted loudly.
"I don't know what thoughts Stannis Baratheon instilled in you to make you so fearless and stupid, but I want to warn you, you'd better kneel down to me now, surrender to me, and surrender to the seven beliefs you believe in.
God swears allegiance to me!”
"Ho! Kneel down! Surrender!"
The warriors on horseback raised their arakhs high, all of them looked fierce, and their horses were restless.
The Unsullied have masks on their heads, and their appearance cannot be clearly seen, but a wave of murderous aura surges forward from them!
The most terrifying thing is the overwhelming dragon in the sky. Its ferocious appearance, strong wind and huge shadow of death are enough to make people despair!
Being hit by such a majestic momentum, the soldiers in the front row began to panic.
But soon the leading lords took the initiative to fight.
"The ferocity of the invading barbarian Dothraki does not need to be elaborated. Their pursuit has always been to burn them all, kill them all, and rob them all! We only have a chance of survival by relying on His Majesty Stannis. In order for our homeland not to be trampled, for
Our relatives are not threatened by death, we should resist to the death and fight to the last man!"
The lords spoke impassionedly to encourage morale, but in their hearts they were extremely bitter.
Stannis did not sit idle after his defeat at Storm's End. Instead, he relied on the strangeness of the red-robed priests to defeat many families in the South again.
If the heirs of the family had not been forced by Stannis to be hostages, they would have been attached to the more powerful Iron Throne.
In order to leave a spark of fire, some people were permanently expelled from King's Landing because of their passive behavior. As a result, they had no choice but to try their best to survive the war.
The Dothraki have a reputation for being ferocious, and Drogo's feats along the way have been exaggerated and turned upside down, which has already changed the taste of the people of Westeros.
Khalasar belongs to a foreign race and is an invader. Anyone who lives on the continent of Westeros will have a sense of honor and disgrace.
So just bite the bullet and fight!
Seeing the opponent charging, Drogo stopped trying to persuade him to surrender.
"The whole army obeys the order and kills him without leaving any trace behind!"
Khalasar is most suitable for fighting on the plains. They clamped their horses' bellies tightly and faced the opponent's cavalry. They either shot with arrows or chopped with swords. They were like a powerful force!
The Unsullied then swarmed towards the infantry on both sides of the opponent's flanks, thrusting with their spears and equipped with arm-banded bucklers. In addition to their agility, their lethality far exceeded those of the motley crew!
Drogo was powerful and arrogant, so he did not use the trebuchet. Firstly, he was disdainful, and secondly, he was afraid of accidentally hurting his own people.
After all, as soon as the braided warrior charges up, it's like a storm sweeping over him, and he can quickly reach the enemy's hinterland.
They didn't have to. The motley crew fighting against the odds couldn't control that much. They ignited the stones covered with asphalt, mounted them on the trebuchet, and continuously threw them out.
The Florentine family believes that this can intimidate the enemy and inspire their own bloody nature.
But in the eyes of Dany, who was hanging high in the sky, it was not worth it.
She drove the green dragon Lei Ge and flew over the slinger's head without any hindrance.
"Dragon Flame!"
"boom!"
The flames of death poured down from the sky like the raging Mandeb River, destroying a row of trebuchets in an instant.
"ah!"
The slingers were covered in flames, rolling around, or rushing into the battle circle like injured wild horses, like rat droppings that spoiled a pot of porridge.
Seeing the carnage on the shore and the raging flames, Drogo's fighting spirit swelled again. He ordered Corensa to command the battleship to rush upstream to the bitter bridge, which was not as high as the Long Teng Ma Yue.
Stannis's fleet is just behind the Bitter Bridge, and this bridge blocking Drogo's advance must be destroyed.
Drogo shifted his gaze and looked down at the giant who was ready to go.
"Roman, come up here, swing your giant hammer, and smash that stone bridge for me!"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The giant replied incoherently and stepped up the wooden steps to the ship's building.
"Click! Click!"
Roman, who was full of fighting spirit, completely forgot to control his strength in the excitement. He stepped on several wooden steps and broke several wooden steps, causing the entire ship building to tremble.
When he stepped onto the command platform on the ship's deck, he saw His Majesty secretly wiping sweat from his forehead through the narrow hole of his helmet.
The archers on the bridge shot a hail of sharp arrows, and Drogo chose to hide behind the giant.
He is made of flesh and blood, and Roman is wearing heavy armor. Such an invulnerable shield wall is not used in vain.
"Clang!"
When the arrows came into contact with the heavy armor, they all slipped away.
Such defense made the archers on the bridge feel deeply helpless.
The commander said that killing the thief first kills the king, which is simply harder than ascending to the sky.
The eight-hundred-oar Longteng Ma Yue was not slow even if it was going against the current, and it quickly rushed to the front of Kuqiao.
Kolensa, who had already estimated the distance, immediately called a halt, and now it was up to the giant to see what he could do.
The giant who looked like a small mountain raised his giant hammer, and the commander on the bridge screamed.
"Retreat! Retreat quickly!"
"Bang bang bang!"
The giant hammered down several times, causing rubble to fly away, but the bridge remained stable.
But he couldn’t withstand Roman’s continuous pounding!
Soon, the middle section of the Bitter Bridge collapsed.
"Boom!"
The broken bridge exploded with water splashing more than ten feet high, and was instantly swallowed up by the deep river water.
The bridge was too crowded, but the quality of the bitter bridge was excellent. No one fell into the turbid river water with the collapsed bridge and retreated to the shore.
But what awaited them was a more violent baptism. A dozen soldiers who could not resist were beheaded by the condescending braided warriors.
As for the other soldiers, they were blocked by a shield wall, and then sharp spears were thrust out from the gaps in the shield wall.
Faced with this crushing attack, many people jumped into the river in despair.
If you have good water properties, you can still survive for a while. People who are not familiar with water properties will be shot into a sieve by the archers on the battleship before they have time to consider the urgency of ventilation!
Dany rode on Rhaegal, facing countless spears, arrows and stones thrown from the ground, swooping back and forth and breathing fire downwards.
Drogon and Viserion followed behind, using dragon flames to surround the enemy armies.
Both the men and the trebuchets started to burn, and the entire battlefield was filled with thick smoke!
The motley team of five thousand people soon fell apart. The cavalry were running wildly in the ring of fire, and the infantry phalanx collapsed. Only the howls of the burning soldiers, the crackle of the flames and the roar of the three dragons could be heard.
The Unsullied and the Khalasar had already withdrawn from the battle circle with a tacit understanding. Their next task was to watch the archers shoot randomly into the ring of fire and shout for their queen.
"The Silver Queen is mighty! Khaleesi is mighty! The dragon is invincible!..."
Chapter completed!
