Chapter 159
Before Dawn, the stars disappeared and the moonlight disappeared. At this time, the sky was like the bottom of a pot that had been burned for a hundred years. It was dark and heavy, and it was overwhelming.
Well, at least Yunkai's God of War is almost breathless, he's about to do a major event about Yunkai's future.
—Come out before the Dawn!
Can't wait any longer, this big Commander is so hungry, how can ordinary soldiers be better?
And they don't dare to kill horses and roast meat. At night, do they light a bonfire as a target?
There are dragons in the sky, and dragons can throw bombs!
It will last until tomorrow morning, not to mention whether the woman will come to attack them, 80% of the more than 1,000 mercenaries in the team will defect and become enemies.
Faced with such a desperate situation, Grazdan can only do his best to fight.
As much as you can break through.
At least not the whole army will be wiped out, and he can't destroy the whole army every time he leads his troops to fight, right?
In order to convince Tattered Prince and other mercenary groups to fight with him, Grazdan promises that he will lead the charge with the yellow silk cape, and the mercenaries only need to follow the big army and run wild on horses.
In a way, Grazdan saved the team, as red-haired Lyra had secretly met Denzo just two hours earlier.
Lyra told Denzo that the previous agreement was still valid, given that Windblown was indeed not contaminated with the blood of the Northern Expedition. If Windblown is willing to backstab the Ghis during the siege tomorrow morning, the Dragon Queen will also allow them to take the commission they received from the Yunkai.
Of course, if Windblown put up a desperate struggle, the whole group is destroyed, and Mother of Dragons is not obligated to fulfill the agreement.
Under such coercion and temptation, Denzo and Tattered Prince felt aggrieved, but in order not to be destroyed by the group, they could only obey Dany's mercy.
Not long after, Zidan and the leaders of several small mercenary groups also found Tattered Prince. They bluntly said: In order to survive, the Yunkai people must be given to Mother of Dragons as a gift, and we will do it tomorrow morning. Flag anyway.
Well, Dany doesn't look down on those small mercenary groups and doesn't send anyone to contact them at all. Zidan and the others follow the mercenary tradition of "it is known".
Looking at Zidan's newly sewn Guards flag - the Black Dragon flag on a red background, Tattered Prince looked blank, but his heart was sighed in relief: he was going to find you, but you came oneself. .....well come! The old man doesn't need to be stigmatized by betraying his employer. Brother Zidan took the initiative to take over the blame.
In other words, if Grazdan doesn't break through the siege overnight and take the initiative to assume the responsibility of cannon fodder, he will probably be wiped out in the battle tomorrow morning.
The process of breaking through was far easier than Grazdan had expected. Only more than 300 cavalry died, so he broke through the trench defense circle, but not many people died when breaking through the enemy camp.
"Gods, we've just found the weakest point." Grazdan shouted high-spirited and vigorous as the night wind blew his face and the eastern sky turned indigo.
He didn't suspect a fraud, because the entire encirclement was two kilometers wide and three kilometers long, and even if the enemy had 60,000 people, it was impossible that every place was full of soldiers.
In other words, both the enemy and the enemy know that the encirclement has more than one weak point.
If during the day, even if the Ghis cavalry were just rushing to the weak point, before they could break through the defensive belt of the trench, a large number of motor cavalry would immediately come and turn the weak point into a death meat grinder.
And at night...
"Boom..." A large number of cavalry did catch up, but it was too late.
"didn't expect really broke through. After Mother of Dragons got our promise, my vigilance dropped!" Denzo looked complicated, not knowing whether to be surprised or annoyed.
"Although Grazdan has always been defeated, he has lived up to the name of the god of war. He must have noticed the abnormality of our mercenaries, and also keenly found that the troops of the Mother of Dragons were lax before Dawn.
Accurate grasp of the state of both the enemy and us allowed him to find a chance for victory.
It is not that he was too stupid after repeated defeats. Go past Heavenly Horse." Tattered Prince sighed.
"Dragon Queen also has dragons! Dragons can throw fire and oil bombs, which is more terrifying than the legendary Demon Dragon that burns the city in flames." Caggo muttered loudly.
Denzo looked left and right and saw that there were mercenaries riding horses nearby, he asked: "Then what should we do now? The Mother of Dragons who signed a contract with us is a true person, and she also admitted that A contract."
Tattered Prince hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Let's go back to Yunkai, we have come all the way from the Disputed Lands to the west, and we have also seen the evaluation of the Mother of Dragons by the major city-states.
She is fighting almost the entire world.
Without cheap slave workers, the cost of the big voyage trade is almost five times higher, and even ten times more for some slave merchants.
p>
How big is the conflict of interest?
Many maritime merchants would like to spend half of their property to join the 'Alliance Against the Dragonmother', maybe a few days later, a sea ship will transport tens of thousands of troops to Yuanyuan Where is Kai?"
"Yuyu..." When the night sky of the eastern indigo azure was dyed with a few strands of dark red, Grazdan at the front finally came to the city gate.
"Who is the newcomer?" The torch rays of light boomed on the city gate tower, and a familiar explosion came from above.
"Is the city General Hyle? It's me!" Grazdan sighed in relief, listening to the voice, the person shouting on the city gate was the city gate Commander that he personally arranged before army left.
"sou!" A torch dropped the city wall, the voice excitedly said: "Lord Grazdan? It's you? A messenger reported that you were trapped in..."
Grazdan interrupted him: "I grabbed the enemy's weak spot and led the army to break out...Hyle, open the door, wait for the soldiers to enter, and then talk about it, there are still pursuers behind!"
"Oh oh oh..." Hyle answered the promise again and again, then turned back and shouted: "open the city gates! Go and inform the Grand Wise Master again, tell him that the Grazdan is back, and we are very happy. Kay has the backbone again!"
"Hehe, this kid was terrified yesterday afternoon." Grazdan said with a smile to a Wise Masters beside him.
This Wise Masters named Ozul, like Grazdan, has a black and thin face, a strong body and slender limbs. He is a rare Wise Masters general of Yunkai. Therefore, Grazdan was chosen as oneself's lieutenant.
“Not wrong, you are the backbone of our Yunkai,” Ozul complimented.
"Squeak..." The city gate opens to both sides, and you can see several yellow silk cloaks plugging torches on the city gateway stone wall.
Grazdan stood on the saddle, looked back, and said to the lieutenant without looking back: "Ozul, take someone in first."
"Are you worried about those mercenaries?" Ozul was surprised.
"hmph, otherwise why would I risk breaking through the siege overnight? There are three kinds of people in this world that are the most untrustworthy, the bed slaves we cultivated by Yunkai, the mercenaries who roam around the world, and the Westeros politicians." Grazdan dismissed.
"Why are there people from Westeros? Although Mother of Dragons is cunning, she doesn't keep her word?" the lieutenant asked in confusion.
"I'm not talking about her, that Tywin Lannister and... oops, don't fight, don't rush!"
As soon as the city gate opened, the cavalry seemed to be Like a sheep being chased by an evil dragon, they scrambled to get into the city gate. One of the cavalrymen was too eager and bumped into Grazdan's warhorse next to the city gate, almost knocking off His Excellency Wise Masters, who was standing on the saddle.
"Come in and keep order." Grazdan yelled at the lieutenant.
"The mercenary..."
Grazdan pointed to the long and thick Scorpion sticking out from the killing hole above, said with a smile: "Don't worry, city gate There are countless bows and crossbows nearby, and dragons don't dare to make trouble here."
"Oh, then I'll go to the Great Pyramid first. Alas, I have to figure out why we lost so unfathomable this time. mystery, how many soldiers does that woman have." Ozul grumbled as he followed the Knight into the city gateway.
Exiting the city gateway, the lieutenant watched the cavalry team in front converge on the plaza below the Great Pyramid, and shouted to the guards above: "Why not go back to the cavalry camp, what are you going to the Grand Plaza for?"
p>
"The Grand Wise Master wants to reward the soldiers and boost morale." Hyle helplessly said above the tower.
"Ai, Grand Wise Master also has good intentions! With a spiritual leader like Grand Wise Master, and a military backbone like His Excellency the God of War, why can't the chaos of dragon disaster be quelled?!!" Ozul was filled with emotion thousand.
Soon, more than 4,000 Ghis cavalrymen all entered the city gate, and the mercenary groups at the rear also poured in in order.
"What is Lord Wise Masters looking at?" the Tattered Prince asked Grazdan, who was looking at the footsteps.
"I'm afraid someone will be left behind." Grazdan coldly said.
Tattered Prince laughed angrily, "You—"
"Hey, that's not right!" Denzo suddenly grabbed his head and said with a facial expression grave: "Prince, you heard that. ."
"Smell what?" Tattered Prince wondered.
"There is a smell of burning in the air." Denzo looked towards the city gateway, his eyes full of horror, there was a sense of crisis that the rare beast opened his mouth to attack oneself.
"Burning..." Tattered Prince smelled the faint smell of burning in the sea breeze, and his face changed. He is also a veteran who has been through war, and a great terror was born in his heart immediately.
"Go!"
Without the slightest hesitation, the Tattered Prince pulled the reins and rode toward the east, where grey dawn had risen.
The soldiers on the city wall kept staring at the movement of the people below, and immediately shouted: "Shoot!" Immediately turn the direction and shoot frantically under the city gate. At the same time, a row of archers suddenly appeared on the city wall, shooting a dense rain of arrows at the crowd below.
"Ahhh..." With just one wave of attacks, the mercenaries gathered at the entrance of the gate outside the city collapsed.
"Help, I don't want to die."
"ahhhh, we were betrayed by the Ghis, damn slave dealers!"
"I surrender, I Surrender, don't kill me."
There is also a Windblown cadre who knows something and shouted: "Ah, our plan to surrender to the Mother of Dragons was discovered by the Ghis! Run, Mother of Dragons! Dragons, help!"
Uh...
I can't blame the mercenaries for their ignorance, in fact, this kind of thing has never happened in Essos continent.
"Dismount, kneel, surrender!" After two waves of attacks, the guards on the wall stopped attacking and shouted in unison.
"Dismount, kneel, surrender!" Such shouts also sounded in the Grand Plaza all around the city.
As a torch suddenly ignited, the Ghis soldiers who were sitting in the saddle High Level waiting for the Grand Wise Master's reward, suddenly found that the square was full of Scorpions.
On the street, on the roof, and even on the big stone steps of the Great Pyramid first layer, rows of steel crossbow arrows glow with cold light under the torch.
"Sigh--" A dragon cry came from above the head, which made the Ghis cavalry, who still had meager expectations, completely desperate: not a misunderstanding, nor a coup d'etat by Wise Masters, but... ...
Yunkai is in the hands of the Mother of Dragons!
“surrender and avoid death!”
