Chapter 164
"After the news of the fall of Meereen reaches Yunkai, you should have the consciousness to go straight to me, after all, we have a contract.
Even if your leader has unrealistic fantasies, I wanted to take one last gamble, but after more than 20,000 steps of riding outside the city and being ambushed by me, the illusion should have been shattered?
My expectations are not high, and Windblown attacked the Ghis people. Help me take down Yunkai, and then you leave with the commission promised by the Ghis, and a promise from me.
To be honest, I really can't guess what your leader is thinking." Dany shook his head. Shaking his head, he said helplessly.
Windblown, who has 2,000 paces, is qualified to negotiate with her, that's right.
But two thousand paces can't change the entire battlefield situation, and the price she gave is absolutely fair.
"Grazdan suddenly wants to pull us out of the siege, disrupting the regiment leader's plan." Denzo sighed.
"Okay, even if the plan is disrupted, but the Ghis people have all entered the city, even if you find out that the plan is in, why do you need to escape?
You know how many died the night before yesterday. People?
Because of your sudden escape, the mercenaries in the turmoil killed nearly 800 people. You Windblown accounted for 90% of the death toll, and only one Ghis died, yes, Only one Wise Masters!" Dany taunted.
"No, impossible!" Caggo struggled yellowed.
"What's impossible about this? The Ghis people are already surrounded and can't escape. The rioters are all from you Windblown. Even if I don't have any ill will towards Windblown, I have no choice in that case. !" Dany indifferently said.
"It's me, I...I killed those brothers." Denzo's voice trembled, his dirty old face running two clear streaks of water.
"Why didn't you slaughter the Ghis, the mercenaries who got into the trap?" Caggo asked Dany wickedly.
He was extremely unbalanced. Obviously Windblown successfully discovered this woman's tricks, but it was them who lost the most.
This is not fair!
If...if this woman killed all the Ghis cavalry that entered the city, then their escape would only make sense!
"Hehe, in your heart, what kind of person am I? Kill monsters for pleasure? Isn't it bad for mercenaries to keep them for ransom? Ghis soldiers are reduced to coolies, grow wheat for me, do Isn't the bread that comes out fragrant?"
"Ai, our pride has caused Windblown! Maybe in deep in one's heart, we always thought that Queen Your Majesty would inevitably fail, losers are not worthy of attention, and more Not worth our trust.
Subconsciously, we even arrogantly believe that oneself can determine the success or failure of Queen Your Majesty..." Denzo smiled bitterly.
He now thinks beyond the chess game, looks at Windblown's actions these days as a bystander, and suddenly discovers a very terrifying thing: Dragon Queen has three dragons and more than 10,000 Unsullied , there are tens of thousands of Mother of Dragons guards who have been trained for half a year, and she herself has wisdom beyond ordinary people. Since she was born, she has been undefeated in battle... But whether it is the head of the regiment or the cadres in the regiment, in deep in one's heart, totally look down on her, think she's just a stupid little girl with dumb luck.
Not stupid, thinking about liberating the slave? Isn't she stupid, she will be against the whole world for those who have nothing to do with oneself? Not stupid, she will lead 50,000 soldiers to attack Yunkai long distance?
Almost everyone is saying: Dragon Queen is a pity, even if she can win countless times, it will have a miserable ending sooner or later.
The problem is, people have always been the winners, and Windblown is not qualified to despise a Giant who is taller, smarter and stronger than oneself.
Giant's every kindness is subconsciously regarded as weakness.
The head of the group has been thinking about letting Dragon Queen take the blame for her and oneself to enjoy the success...
Oh, I didn't make the position of oneself clear!
"If you don't mean anything to us, why send horse men to hunt us down? Can't we just leave?" Caggo glared at the 'weak' Denzo and angrily roared at Dany.
Dany despised him like an idiot and said: "You have something wrong with your brain, a group of remnants are wandering in the heart of my rule, can I let it go? In case you raid my manor and slaughter my people , who am I going to talk to?"
"We just want to get out of this stinky shithole right now," Caggo yelled.
"Then tell me, if you don't tell me, how do I know what you think? Looking at the performance of Windblown, I thought you were all Ghis Suicide Squad, and you want to be irreconcilable with me. !"
"Your Majesty, can you answer a few questions for me so I can understand how I lost the war?" Denzo looked at Dany wistfully.
These words can be regarded as irritating to her. After success, not blowing a wave of cowhide is like being rich and not returning home.
"Hehe, let's see, there are some strategies I want to try a few more times." Dany raised his chin slightly and said reservedly.
"The soldiers Your Majesty brought to Meereen were at most thousands of elite cavalry, so why do almost all Meereen think you brought 50,000 troops? And many saw it with their own eyes," Denzo asked.
"I liberated a lot of slaves along the way, and the soldiers were new recruits." Dany was half-truth.
In less than three days, it is extremely difficult to catch the 250-kilometer road. How can there be time to liberate 50,000 slaves?
The real reason is very simple. When Dany took Meereen, it was almost dusk, and the fifty thousand cavalry outside the city was just an illusion created by thousands of slaves riding horses and dragging branches.
As for the fifty thousand soldiers who carried torches into the city after dark...
Dany learned Dong Zhuo Dong Boss this time.
A thousand elites hold torches and enter the city from the east gate, so that all Ghis people in the east city can see.
The city's north, which has no tall buildings, has long been under martial law, and another thousand people smeared and sneaked out of the city through the north city gate. After dozens of cycles, there were 50,000 elite soldiers.
The Meereen Great Masters were so frightened that they didn't dare leave their pyramids at all, giving Dany valuable time to expand the Mother of Dragons escort.
Denzo didn't know whether to believe it or not, and continued to ask: "How did Your Majesty hide the traces of the army's actions?"
"Send a scout to clean up the Great Way."
Denzo smiled wryly, this is the most obvious nonsense, and people with a little common sense will not believe it.
But people have said it in advance, and there will be reservations...
"I now understand that you left almost 40,000 infantry in Yunkai, 5,000 cavalry. The 1500 Unsullied in the rear battalion is just a bait to lure us into sending troops.
But the rear battalion is not a real ambush point, because there are too many 40,000 people, and the rear battalion cannot hide it. It may also be that you want to reduce losses. , so the allied troops were separated from the cavalry and eaten separately.
There is no doubt that the real lore is in the ruined former battalion - we totally didn't expect, after all, we just left the former battalion Come here.
The cavalry battallion had no infantry protection, and ran back and forth for nearly 20 kilometers. The horses had no impact and could only be trapped to death.
The rear battalion was only a few thousand cavalry. Really, the infantry lined up in the ravines on both sides of the camp is just a pretense.
There may be no one in the back row at all, and as for the rumbling of horses' hooves in the rear, it's just dozens of horse men rushing the horses to run.
Oh, there's a branch behind the horse's tail - Ghis saw it, and told us when he joined us on second day."
Dany nods, said with a smile : "You guessed right. I don't want to make such trouble, but as you said, there are too many soldiers for 40,000 soldiers to hide in the rear camp."
Denzo's eyes flashed bright light and asked. : "The key is, where did you hide the nearly 40,000 soldiers in ambush?"
As I said before, the Ghis people are not stupid. Nearby twenty or thirty kilometers of the site.
Maybe the 3,000 cavalry led by Dany and the thousands of civilians disguised as the main force could be squeezed into the rear battalion, but where did the 40,000 infantrymen who set up real ambush points in the front battalion come from?
If Dany's 40,000 infantry were hiding 30 kilometers away, it would never have been too late to stop the fleeing cavalry.
Under normal circumstances, 30 kilometers is enough for a large army to travel for a day or two!
Dany spit out three words gloomily: "Emerald Lake!"
"Emerald Lake?!" Denzo and Caggo's expressions changed wildly, both relieved and shocked.
Five kilometers north of Yunkai, there is a beautiful lake, like an Emerald embedded in the earth, so it is called "Emerald Lake" by the Yunkai people.
Ghis nobles often take their families there for outings, boating, lake tours, and hunting in the nearby forest.
But in order to kill the Dragon Queen with fifty thousand armies and three dragons, Yunkai Wise Masters sank ten thousand slave corpses in Emerald Lake.
Manors on the Yunkai Great Plains were burned, and wells within 20 kilometers of Yunkai's suburbs were blocked.
50,000 troops ran 600 kilometers and were exhausted. Even if ordinary generals suspected that there was a problem with Emerald Lake, they would be careful and vigilant while fetching water from the lake.
——The Ghis people also deliberately threw a lot of horse dung and sewage into the lake, which means "we have polluted the water source" and can hide the real killing move - 10,000 dead bodies.
In the end, stuffing corpses into a lake to cause a disease is also the first time in this world—the ruthless original tactic of Grand Wise Master.
And there is a process of decay of the corpse. At the beginning of half a month, the lake surface is still beautiful, the lake water is as clear as a lens, but invisible germs have grown and the lake water has been polluted.
50,000 army unknowingly surrounds a mass grave to eat, sleep, and train. Thinking about it makes me feel terrifying.
Wise Masters is also afraid, no matter in the East or the West, the ancients were extremely afraid of epidemics, so the scout didn't dare to enter that area at all.
And Emerald Lake is only three kilometers from the former camp trifling!
"Aren't you afraid of the disease?" Denzo couldn't believe it.
"hmph, of course I'm afraid, I'm scared to death. I came to Yunkai in the afternoon, built camps and dug wells that night, and arranged 20,000 soldiers to go down to the lake early in the second day to soak them up. The body was fished up in two days." Dany coldly said.
Denzo suddenly said, "We also noticed the scene where you burned the corpses. At that time, we only thought that the corpses came from the corpse forest on the Great Way. It turned out that you mixed the corpses in the lake and burned them together.. ...."
At the same time, the sword poet also understood one thing, the smoke from the cooking he and Zidan saw in the camp that day was probably true, and there were really 40,000 to 50,000 people in the camp at that time .
When the news of Meereen's fall came, they thought as it should be by rights that the front and middle camps were empty, and the other party also deliberately built scarecrows in the camp, making them more and more convinced that oneself was in the camp. "empty city strategy".
Well, Tattered Prince and he were amazed at Dragon Queen's "empty city strategy" at that time, thinking it was the greatest tactical innovation of Essos continent in the past thousand years.
Well, this world has never had an empty city strategy.
Unfortunately, people are no longer satisfied with using empty city strategy to deceive poor people in different worlds. Dragon Queen's rank exceeds empty city strategy.
The "empty city strategy" that the Ghis coalition both annoyed and admired was a fake, and more than 40,000 soldiers were waiting in ambush!
It's so unreal, true and false, the war has been over for several days, but the dignified god of war Grazdan and the Tattered Prince who have fought for a lifetime have not yet figured out how oneself lost.
It's so miserable, so pitiful!
Denzo looks utterly dismayed.
"How did you know there were dead bodies in the lake?" Caggo couldn't help asking.
"You think I'm too stupid to scout Yunkai? To tell you the truth, Yunkai, Meereen, New Ghis, Qarth, Volantis, and even Pentos, Braavos thousands of miles away have mine Intelligence officers." Dany boasted coldly.
