Game of Thrones: The Strongest Dragon Mother

Chapter 134 Coastal Attack and Defense

Jorah Mormont's ravens arrived almost at the same time that Black flew back from Astapor to Poplar Slope.

The "Mother of Anti-Dragon Alliance" this time does not only come from land attacks, in fact, even the army has more than one route.

A large army of [-] mercenaries, [-] slave soldiers, and [-] yellow silk cloaks assembled in Kaiyuan City and attacked Astapor from north to south.

The army along the way gathered more than 20 long ships, seventy or eighty sea ships from the four cities of Kaiyuan, Meereen, New Ghis, and even Qarth, and more than [-] ships entered the waters of Astapor City.

There is also a third army, the commandos of the Gistron Legion from south to north

After the regiment destroyed the Second Son regiment in the morning, Dani asked Dahei to return to Astapor alone, and monitored the enemy fleet within tens of kilometers nearby at an altitude of 5000 meters.

Barristan speculates that the Ghistian coalition forces and the sea fleet are dealing with ravens. Maybe the enemy intends to follow "Dani's plan" and launch a surprise attack by both the navy and land forces at the same time this afternoon. Well, the Gist iron army on the north side of the Worm River will also go north to destroy it. The industrial and agricultural production system that Dani worked so hard to build.

"The northern army failed completely. I thought they would retreat. Could it be that the slave owner lost the letter crow during his escape? Didn't the coalition forces on the sea surface receive the notice?"

Barristan took a nap in his armor for more than two hours before returning to work.

"Perhaps the dragon shooting crossbow is installed on the ship. They are getting fatter and want to try to be dragon slaying warriors?" Dany sneered.

During the process of clearing the camp of the Ghislian army, the militia found the wreckage of hundreds of heavy crossbows, most of which were trampled by horses along with other military supplies, but dozens of them were well preserved in the northern camp.

The golden silk wood of the Midsummer Islands with the thickness of an adult's wrist, the two-meter-long bow body, nine Kohor refined steel wires are wound into a bowstring thick as a little finger, and the winch assembled by two strong men turning the pulleys is used to wind the crossbow arrows.

The arrow is three meters long, a thumb-thick stainless steel spear, the arrowhead of the Mitsubishi thorn model, and a string of dark red flame runes--magic runes blessed by red-robed priests and pyromancers.

Dany tried it herself. She let Xiaobai and Xiaolu breathe fire at the crossbow arrows. The steel at the tail quickly turned red and slowly softened, but the rune arrowhead burned bright red but showed no signs of melting.

I don't know if the runes really work, or if the Kohor blacksmith used special steel.

The 2000 fine steel crossbows that were found alone cost more than 10 gold dragons, and the expensive gold silk wooden crossbow.

The newly joined Rose Group also revealed that the Ghisians ordered more than [-] dragon-shooting crossbows in Kehor.It is conceivable that the enemy warships are also equipped with similar crossbow bolts.

However, after Barristan inspected it, he said that Quhor would not build real dragon-shooting crossbows. These crossbows were modified from siege crossbows, and their flexibility and lethality were [-]% worse than the dragon-shooting crossbows researched by the bachelor.

"The all-steel crossbow is too heavy to fly high. As long as the giant dragon is more than 50 meters away from this kind of crossbow, it is safe. However, the direct killing range of Balerion's dragon flame exceeds 80 meters." He said to Dani said.

Dani complained in her heart, the Targaryen of the previous generation had a hole in her head, what the hell were she thinking?He actually cooperated with the bachelor to study the killing radius of the dragon, so why did he let Balerion cooperate with the bachelor to develop a crossbow that could kill him?

The old man seemed to guess what she was thinking, and said quietly: "Only by knowing the limit of your own dragon can you better protect yourself and the dragon."

"It also makes sense, I will be careful." Dany nodded, and ordered the militiamen to prepare firewood for burning the dead mercenaries and Ghis people's bodies.

Unlike our own side, which only killed more than 200 cavalry, the Guise coalition left at least 1 corpses. It was very troublesome to clean up, and it was barely cleared until around two o'clock in the afternoon.

The collection of firewood for the burning of more than 1 corpses is another big project, and it is estimated that the fire will be lit at noon tomorrow.

"I'm going first, you remember to ask the militiamen to dig latrines for the newly joined slaves, and the camp of the Ghislian army should also be sprinkled with a layer of lime powder." Dany climbed onto Dahei, and "educated" Barristan ".

Barristan was a seasoned veteran, but military hygiene has been a matter of civilization for tens of thousands of years, and no one has cared about it at all.

As early as half a year ago, when she saw Unsullied pooping everywhere outside the camp, Dani quickly formulated the "Military Camp Hygiene Regulations".

For example, you must wash your face and hands before eating, and rub them with sand if there is no water.

For example, a trench must be dug outside the campsite, and defecation must be done in the trench.

Even if it is not convenient for the general to boo with the soldiers, he has to be pulled into a wooden barrel and poured into the ditch by his attendants.

For example, immediately after the war, the corpses were cleaned and burned, and a thin layer of lime powder was sprinkled on the battlefield and camp.

In the camps of the soldiers, they were steamed and disinfected with vinegar every now and then.

"Let's go!" Dany yelled at Xiaobai and Xiaolu, and the three dragons flapped their wings and leaped into the sky with all their might.

The wide fleshy wings flapped vigorously, and the grass clippings and dust brought up made Jon Bolton stretch out his hand to cover his forehead. In the sun, the black dragon's dark back and dark red wing bones reflected a little bit of metallic color.

Seeing that he was flying higher and higher with Dani on his back, the knight asked worriedly, "Is it alright for His Majesty to go back alone?"

Barristan said lightly: "Don't worry, there is still a Kingsguard in Astapor, more than 3000 Unsullied, [-] Mother of Dragons guards, and [-] militiamen. Let's go to the registered slave warriors to choose new Freedom Guards." !"

It took only a quarter of an hour for the three dragons to cover a distance of [-] kilometers. From a long distance, Dani saw the Ghis fleet stretching four to five nautical miles from the perspective of the dragon in the dragon spirit state.

The brown, brown, and white sails are like roses blooming on the blue sea. Together, they seem to form a flower garden that half surrounds the city of Astapor.

She came back just in time for the fight to begin.

"Bang bang bang" the ballista and throwing machines on the walls of Astapor roared.

Astapor's guard position is higher, and the defensive catapults are larger, more powerful, and have a longer range than the catapults on the ship, so they first attack the sea ships that are trying to form an attack formation.

Thick crossbow arrows glowing with cold light and kerosene tanks emitting black smoke pierced the sky, most of them only brought a splash of water on the sea surface, and a few hit the target, leaving a hole on the deck of the enemy ship, or leaving a hole in the huge A string of flames lit in the sails of the ship.

Dany even saw Jorah in white robes shouting loudly, the Wings of Liberty flag on the walkway of the city wall was waving in the sea breeze, and the strong shirtless soldiers turned the capstan hard to rewind the throwing machine.

I also saw the Ghis sailor ape-like deftly climbing on the cable, coming to the top of the burning sail, and dumping the sand in the backpack to the burning point.

Then four or five two-meter-long crossbow arrows flew in. Unfortunately, one just pierced through the waist of the skinny monkey sailor, like mutton pieces on a skewer. The sailor flew another seven or eight meters, and was finally nailed under the bridge fence.

The tail of the crossbow bolt was still "buzzing" and the sailor was still moaning, but no one paid any attention to him at all. The second officer loudly urged the No.2 firefighters to climb up the mast. As soon as the hanging corpse took a look, he cursed and yelled at the throwers on the bow and stern decks to fight back speculatively.

As the warships adjust their direction, the dock area of ​​Astapor has entered their attack range

"Dragon, the dragon is back!" The mother of dragon guards on the city wall cheered loudly.

The two warring parties looked up, and the three dragons hovering in the sky were only the size of falcons. In addition to the strong sunlight, most people would not even notice them. How many times a similar scene.

At first there were only a few people, and gradually, nearly [-] soldiers in the city shouted together: "Long live the queen, long live the mother of dragons!"

The enemy ships on the sea heard the call, and observed for a while with binoculars, and immediately found three dragons circling under the sun.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo" the low-pitched horns slowly spread across the sea, and almost all seagoing ships began to lower their sails for a while.

The warships that had not yet positioned themselves stretched out long oars from both sides of the ship, and with the sound of "dong dong dong", hundreds of naked sailors chanted "yo hey yo hey" and tried their best to Slide the paddle.

The ship obeyed the command of the captain and moved "squeaky".

Well, the oarsmen were unclothed, and most wore leather slave collars.

"That's a lot of guts. I chased him all the way to the Worm River Delta."

Looking at the longboat wandering in the river, Dany sneered again and again.

There are two types of sea ships of the Ghisse Alliance Army. One is a relatively slow but large-tonnage sea ship. There are several or even dozens of throwing machines on the deck, and there are rows of powerful ballistas on the side of the ship. The bow has a hard ram.

This type of ship is mainly used to gain command of the sea.

Another type of warship is a narrow, low long ship. When the oarsman is fully rowing, the speed can even reach 25 knots for a short time. The oarsman is also an elite warrior who is familiar with sea battles.

In boarding and pursuit battles, this longship is as sharp as a scalpel.

Grolai Blackbeard's dozen or so ships were completely unable to confront the enemy, so they entered the Worm River a few days ago and hid in the delta plain port in the center of the river, where dozens of merchant ships ran aground.

Illyrio's 100-meter-long Saidu Leon fell over on the beach.

Well, a galleon with a big belly can't be used as a warship. Grole's flagship at this time is Euron's "Serenity".

Of course, it had long since ceased to be called the Serenity, and had been renamed the Viserys.

Uh, to commemorate Dani's unlucky and cheap second brother.

The main reason is that Grolai the Blackbeard wanted to call it "Aegon", and Dany felt that a person as awesome as Aegon should be treated better.

As the ruler of the Gulf city-state, she will definitely build a huge fleet in the future, and will build more powerful warships.

Let the "Aegon" be saved for the future, let the dead Viserys be on top first.

However, the "Viserys" is really unlucky. Since it was named, it has been harassed and besieged by Gith warships. It dare not leave the sight of the dragon. Now it is even forced into the Danshui River, even the harbor. left.

"Boom!" Dany jumped off the big black neck, and her iron boots left two shallow footprints on the red brick city wall.

"Get Molotov cocktails for my dragon," she said to the militia captain who was coming.

"Your Majesty, go to the pyramid and wait, it's too dangerous here," Jorah Mormont advised.

"boom!"

Before the words were finished, a bag of flaming burning bags hit the base of the city wall. The flames made the brick wall beep and beep, and the pungent black smoke made Dani's eyes tingle.

"Asphalt?" She crawled on the side of the female wall and looked down, only to see the burning cloth sticking to the wall, spreading out, and the thick black smoke smoked a black line on the wall.

"It's refined fire ointment," Jorah said.

More than a dozen groups of smoke billowing flames rose from the city wall facing the sea in the north. Some Unsullied yelled at the militiamen to put out the flames, and some sergeants waved their bright swords and shouted at the soldiers under their command: "Quickly wind up the throwing machine!" , kill those sons of bitch slave traders."

The war gradually became fiercer than the sneak attack in the early hours of the morning.

"I will stay here and command the dragon." Dany smiled and said, "Arrange four Unsullied to hold up a shield for me to block the crossbow arrows. The flames will not hurt me."
