Game of Thrones: The Arrival of the Dragonborn Chapter 227 The First Wave of Attack
Three days later in the morning, when the sun had just risen, Daenerys stood on the terrace and saw densely packed armies outside the city of Meereen.
A neat phalanx surrounded the city of Meereen tightly. There were sword and shield formations, spear formations, Unsullied ones wearing black leather armor, mercenaries wearing full body armor, and soldiers from major city-states.
Regular troops, as well as countless Dothraki cavalry outside the phalanx.
By visual inspection, the number exceeded 100,000, and Daenerys estimated that the garrison on the walls of Meereen did not exceed 15,000. A surge of pride emerged from her heart, and Daenerys made the decision that as long as the war
Together, you will always stand here. Let the attacking party see you, let them understand that you have always supported them and blessed them.
Daenerys turned around and looked up at Werther on the top of the Great Pyramid, thinking that Werther's dragon must be in Tyrosh, and her own dragon did not appear. If neither side had dragons to participate in the war, Meereen City would definitely be lost with such a disparity in strength.
.If the three dragons of himself and Yin Geng come, then Meereen City will not be able to hold on for a day!
There are many terraces at different heights of the Great Pyramid, and they are also full of soldiers. They are holding flags and looking in different directions of Meereen City. Once there is an attack, they will raise the flags in their hands. If there are signs of being lost, they will
Two flags will be raised and waved continuously, and the defenders from other places will come over as soon as possible to support the defense.
The top of the Great Pyramid has been covered by ice, and Witte is sitting on an ice chair, overlooking the city from a height of nearly 300 meters.
The chair was very big. He was wearing a full set of dragon bone armor, his helmet was placed on the armrest, and the bloody Skar blade with red light was leaning next to it. The wind blew up Witte's eyebrow-length hair, and he could see the terrace below.
When Daenerys stared at him, Werther lowered his head and smiled at her.
Any smile from Werther was extremely evil to Daenerys, and she was so frightened that she turned around and didn't dare to look again.
Looking at the dense dots outside the city, Werther was observing their flags.
Meereen City has no moat. The east gate is a small gate. The north gate is a large city gate connected to the Valyrian Road. The south gate is the main trade route with Slaver's Bay and is also a large city gate. The port on the west side is also surrounded by a city wall.
, the narrow terrain is not conducive to landing and siege.
To the south of the city are the troops from Yunkai, and on the southern coast are the troops from the New Ghis Empire that are disembarking and landing one after another. Outside the east city are the Unsullied legions of Yunkai and Astapor, which should be the army of Daenerys's husband. To the north
They are mercenaries such as the Stormcrows, the Second Sons, and the Cats, the troops from Qohor City and Norvos City, and the troops from Tauros Island that are landing. There are also shirtless Dothraki riding horses.<
/p>
No golden group?
Witte continued to search and found that among the flags of all armies, there were also many skull and deer head flags mixed in.
"The dog is still hiding!" Werther clenched his fists.
With the skull and deer head flag, Witte already knew that it was the anti-Baratheon alliance. Joining the anti-Baratheon alliance only has a common enemy, which does not mean being loyal to Yin Geng, and Yin Geng wanted to use this war to bring this group to an end.
The power developed to be loyal to himself!
Witte saw movement outside the north gate. A knight with a flag, a skull and a deer head approached the city gate on horseback and shot a surrender letter at the tower with a bow and arrow.
Several great masters on the city tower took the letters from the soldiers and began to discuss. They were too far away and Werther could not see their expressions clearly. He could only judge by their body movements. The content of the surrender letter was not very friendly. Several people and the tattered men with white hair and silver helmets
Prince Yi was very angry with his teeth and claws open.
The great masters walked away, and the Tattered Prince stood there and looked up at the top of the Great Pyramid. His left hand pointed at Werther and his right hand made a scratch on his neck. Werther understood that one of the contents of the surrender book was to let the people of Meereen surrender.
Kill and decapitate yourself.
Werther just smiled when he saw it.
Soon the great master on the tower also replied to them with a letter, and the knight carrying the flag returned to the formation with the letter. Werther leaned forward and carefully observed the person who was about to read the letter.
Wearing an ordinary black horse and white knight armor, with his face covered under a helmet, this man threw the letter on the ground. It seemed that the two parties had not reached an agreement. No matter who he was, Werther had listed him as a must-kill target.
Werther leaned back in his chair and continued to search for suspicious targets that must be killed.
Woo
A horn with a completely different sound from Westeros was blown, and then horns were blown from all directions outside the city of Meereen, and the sound surrounded the city of Meereen.
The attack officially began, and soldiers from the north, south, and east began to advance.
The Slaver's Bay area is dry and there are few trees, so there is no material to build large siege equipment. The only siege tools are ladders made of only available wood and three rams to attack the city gates.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
"Charge!" Accompanied by bursts of drums, the first wave of siege troops launched a charge.
The soldiers carried hundreds of wooden ladders and advanced towards the city wall from three directions at the same time. They were protected by sword and shield soldiers holding shields. After they ran a certain distance, the array of archers also followed and advanced towards the city wall.
"Three hundred steps!"
"Two hundred and fifty steps!"
Werther observed the battle at the north gate of the Tattered Prince and watched him command.
"Two hundred and twenty steps, draw the bow!" The Tattered Prince put on his helmet and raised his sword high on the city wall.
"Two hundred steps, shoot!"
Buzz
A shower of arrows shot out from the city wall, drawing an arc in the air and piercing into the charging soldiers. With good luck, it was blocked by the shield, but with bad luck, the cone-headed armor-piercing arrow that passed through the gap in the shield missed its mark.
into their bodies. Some were shot to death on the spot, some were injured and fell down and were trampled by people behind them, and some immediately rolled over after falling to the ground, stood up and struggled to rush into the team.
After one round of arrow rain, followed by the second round, hundreds of corpses were left on the battlefield outside the city wall. At this time, the archers covering the troops on the city wall also advanced into the shooting range and began to attack the people on the city wall.
The defenders shoot arrows.
Both sides came and went, and the military formation where the ram was located was taken care of by the defenders. The soldiers pushing the cart were shot to death, and people were asked to climb on top of the ram to unplug the rockets. If a soldier died, a soldier from behind would take over.
, changed again and again, leaving corpses along the way, as if the rushing car was crushing the corpses and moving forward.

At this time, the Dothraki cavalry also broke into the battle line. They rode on horseback and kept shooting at the city wall. They also had good mobility and suffered few casualties. The tens of thousands of Dothraki joined and quickly suppressed the defenders on the city wall.
, the defenders also began to set up shields to resist, but were temporarily suppressed due to too many enemies.
"Push!"
The siege troops quickly arrived at the foot of the city wall and pushed the stairs to the side of the city wall. The lower edge of the ladder was inserted into the mud. A dozen soldiers pulled the rope in the middle and leaned against the wall, letting the ladder lean against the city wall. The defenders also
Use wooden poles to push the ladder outward. During this period, countless soldiers were shot to death by bows and arrows from both sides.
"Rockfall! Rockfall!" The Tattered Prince ran back and forth on the city wall, shouting to direct the defense.
The heroes couldn't handle the large number of people. On the walls around the besieged Meereen, the grappling hooks of ladders hooked on the battlements one after another. "Charge!" The slave soldiers held up their shields and began to climb up the stairs.
"Put in mixed wood and kerosene! Pour kerosene on the ladder!" The men of the Blowing Regiment did not need to worry about the Tattered Prince. Several officers were sent to guard the walls in other directions. The many slave soldiers in his section alone let him
Tired of running for his life, he was afraid that a single mistake would put the enemy down.
The most serious casualties occurred during the climb up the stairs in the city. A heavy rolling log mixed with water, if you are lucky, can knock down all the people on the stairs. If you are not lucky, someone with strong strength will grab the stairs and push the rolling log away. People on the wooden ladder
In addition to climbing up, you should also use your sleeves to wipe off the kerosene around you, or take off your clothes and tie them to the wooden ladder to absorb the kerosene, and try to prevent the kerosene from flowing all over the ladder before it is lit by the defenders. Slave soldiers kept falling from the wooden ladders, being burned to death, and stoned to death. The entire Meereen wall was now filled with black smoke, and there were shouts of killing everywhere. The car was approaching the three city gates.
.
Consume!
In addition to the Dothraki, the anti-Baratheon alliance is currently attacking with slave soldiers. They have a huge advantage in numbers, and they have to use slave soldiers to consume the defenders' manpower and materials. The lives of slaves are not their lives, so to them
Said it was just money.
The opponent's main force is still waiting in the rear. It's useless to squeeze too many people under the city wall. They are waiting for the result of this wave of attacks. If the situation is good, they will send the next wave of troops to continue the attack. If the situation is bad, they will start to besiege the city.<
/p>
The battle is still going on, but this is the first wave of attacks. Werther does not plan to join in for the time being, and is still searching for suspicious persons with his eyes. If they cannot resist this kind of attack, then the great masters of Meereen City really deserve to die. p>
On the sea west of Meereen, there are still a large number of ships waiting to dock.
In the captain's cabin of a sailing warship, several senior members of the Golden Group stood by the window, pointing at Witte on the top of the Great Pyramid.
"Euron, where is your fleet!" Yin Geng shouted filial piety. His hair was no longer dyed blue and returned to his original platinum hair color.
"I'm here, aren't I!" Euron's fingers tapped his iron chin rhythmically.
The ding-ding-ding sound made Yin Geng even more angry: "We gave you so much money to buy ships and organize a fleet, and we also promised to kill Hizdahr and marry Daenerys to you. And you! Sitting alone
How dare you come to see me with just a small sampan!"
After hearing what Euron said, the people in the Golden Company also drew their swords and pointed them at Euron.
Euron smiled and raised his hands: "Oh, don't be like this, we will be a family in the future! Besides, my boat is not a sampan, it is also a sailing speedboat after all!"
Yin Geng pointed at Euron and shouted filial piety: "Shameless! If you don't give me a reasonable explanation today, I will sentence you to death today!"
"Hahaha, my little nephew is really powerful!" Euron said and took a step back: "For Werther, no matter how many people there are, it is useless. Ten thousand soldiers can consume all his magic power, but Werther is not stupid.
, won’t he run away?”
"So? You didn't do anything and just came to watch the fun by yourself? Didn't you say you could have a tie with Werther? He is right there. You go find him and rescue Daenerys by the way!"
Yin Geng pointed to the top of the pyramid outside the window.
Euron looked over, and the sun shone on Werther's ice chair, reflecting the shining light: "Werther? No, no, no, fighting him will only dirty my fingers. I'll find a big shot to deal with him." "You have to know that Werther has a special way to summon a dragon. His dragon is nearly 200 meters long and will appear over Meereen at any time. Can the big man you mentioned be able to deal with it?" Euron is too cunning, Yin
Geng still doesn’t believe it.
Euron looked at Yin Geng and raised his hand to take off his blindfold. A dozen large and small eyeballs were rolling in his eye sockets, frightening Yin Geng so much that he took a few steps back and dared not speak.
Euron closed his eyepatch again and said to the people of the Golden Company: "The Drowned God! The great Drowned God! I am the true messenger of the Drowned God! I made a deal with a big shot on behalf of the Drowned God, and he will come to deal with Werther.
Even killed Werther and his dragon!"
Yin Geng's heart beat faster, and many questions arose. Even Werther and his dragon could be killed together, the illusory god, the man-eating devil. In Euron's eyes, is he a god or a monster? Is he still a monster?
Human?
It took me a while to calm down and asked, "When will the big shot you invited come?"
Euron touched his iron chin again: "Soon! Calculate that the time is almost up. If you see the right time, send the signal when you need to attack Werther."
Then Euron looked at Werther in the distance: "The armor and giant sword he is wearing belong to me!"
