Casting spells

"See? My dear friend, this is the fleet that Stannis is proud of. We must destroy it before it causes enough damage. I can’t even hold on.” Tyrion stood on the top of the city, looking solemnly at the approaching warships on the water in the distance.

Zhang Cheng glanced at the tense city defense troops around him with sharp eyes, and nodded with a smile: "I completely agree with your point of view. Tell me, what is your plan, and what do you need me to do?"

"It's simple! I'm going to cripple Stannis' fleet once and for all with wildfire, forcing him to fight us in a protracted siege. Your job is to pinch the fleeing ships from behind as much as possible, and make sure they're kept safe before they escape out to sea." It sank." The little devil explained straightforwardly.

Although this is not the first time he has participated in a brutal war, it is the first time he has commanded a war from the perspective of a decision maker, and the tension in his heart can be imagined.

"Don't worry, I guarantee that tonight will be the end of this fleet. No matter how they struggle and howl, they cannot escape the fate of death." Zhang Cheng promised meaningfully.

"Really?" Tilly raised his eyebrows in surprise, obviously not convinced.

"Hehe, someone once said that any verbal threat is far less powerful than a clean action. There are still three hours before dark, and you will understand what I mean after three hours After that, Zhang Cheng bowed slightly, took his men and left the city.

Before he had walked more than ten meters, Blanco couldn't wait to ask: "Sir, is it time to do something?"

"Yes! Go tell those mercenaries to prepare for battle! If you're lucky, after tonight, their names will be marked in history, and they will also get a lot of wealth." Zhang Cheng said Gareth thoughtfully replied.

"Understood! I'll notify you right away!" The old mercenary bowed, turned around and disappeared into the alley around the corner.

……

When the last afterglow of the sun disappeared on the sea level, King's Landing finally ushered in a dark night, which was also a signal for the war between the two sides.

Before the residents of the city could react to what had happened, the roar of war drums and shouts of killing immediately echoed over the city.

Immediately following the rain of arrows, stones slid across graceful arcs and landed near the houses from the city wall or near the city wall.

For a moment, screams, wailing, and the terrified cries of women and children mixed together, deducing the harm caused by war to civilians.

But unfortunately, no one here cares about their life or death.

Standing at the entrance of a hidden cave by the sea, Zhang Cheng was admiring the picture of the flames bursting into the sky hundreds of meters away, while gently stroking the restless young dragon beside him, and softly comforted him: "Calm down, it's not your turn yet." When you play."

"Ow!"

The young dragon let out a low howl, and the two violet eyes were full of undisguised excitement.

Just when Zhang Cheng was about to say something, Blanco suddenly broke in from the outside and reported out of breath: "Sir! Our people have boarded the ship and are ready to attack at any time. Now we are waiting for your order." gone."

"Be patient. We won't be on stage until Tyrion finishes his performance. Look, the beautiful fireworks show is about to begin." As he spoke, Zhang Cheng quickly turned his gaze to the distant water.

In order to cooperate with Stannis' attack from the ground, the huge fleet slowly approached the city docks, without realizing that a huge trap had opened its mouth, waiting for their arrival.

In order to attract more enemy ships into the ambush area, the little devil even sent the few Royal Fleet coefficients to fight with a large number of enemy ships near the mouth of the Blackwater River.

When the two sides almost entered the melee stage, he immediately ordered people to pull up the huge chain net that had been prepared to trap all the ships firmly, and then gave the order to throw wildfire.

next second...

boom!boom!boom……

Pots burning with deadly green flames were thrown into the water one by one by catapults. In just a few seconds, the entire river became a hell on earth.

More than half of the ships were destroyed in the instant the wildfire exploded, and some desperately turned around and fled towards the sea, for fear of accidentally stepping into the footsteps of those unlucky ones.

"Oh—my god! This is simply too terrifying!" Blanco trembled uncontrollably, his eyes full of awe and fear.

"How is it? Isn't it spectacular? Let's go, it's time for us to perform. Remember, don't chase those ships that escaped into the sea. I need to train this little guy's fighting ability." , Zhang Cheng patted the young dragon's forehead, raised his arm and made a gesture of taking off.

When the young dragon saw it, it immediately spread its wings and soared into the air with a whoosh.

With the cover of night, it quietly approached one of Stannis' warships, followed by swooping down, aiming at the terrified sailors with deadly dragon flames...

Chapter 134 Battle of the Blackwater River

"Ahhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

The sailor, who hadn't had time to react to what happened, immediately felt a scorching flame surrounding him, followed by indescribable pain.

Accompanied by his screams, the wooden sailboat quickly burned, like a huge torch on the water, reminding the surviving ships around that they were far from out of danger.

The young dragon that succeeded in one blow did not stop at all, and climbed to the sky again according to the master's instructions, looking for the next attack target under the cover of night.

In order to prevent it from becoming the three stupid dragons under Daenerys Targaryen, Zhang Cheng took great pains, constantly instilling in it what is called high-altitude advantage and what is called maneuver advantage.

As a dragon, the most important thing is not to rely on strong scales, sharp claws and teeth to face the enemy head-on, but to use the advantage of being able to fly to destroy those enemies who are alone and have no resistance, and then clean up After the miscellaneous fish, slowly deal with the most dangerous enemies.

Under the influence of the master, this shameless young dragon finally learned to pick the soft persimmons first, and after a while, sent all the single battleships that escaped from the large army to another world.

When there was no longer a single ship around, it lingered in the dark night sky, waiting patiently for a signal from its master.

At the same time, Zhang Cheng also personally commanded two warships, slowly approaching Stannis' remaining fleet.

In order to increase the suddenness, no flag was hoisted on his ship, and there were no lighting tools such as oil lamps and torches. There were only a group of hungry and bloodthirsty mercenaries...

"My lord! We found three enemy ships ahead! Are we going to engage in a boarding battle! Or destroy them with wildfire?" The captain in his 40s asked in a low voice.

Zhang Cheng glanced playfully at the sailors and mercenaries behind him, and then asked with a smile: "What do you think? Is it more interesting to directly burn the enemy to death, or to stab the enemy with a sword and enjoy their painful screams and wailing? Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you one thing, that is, in this war, no matter what you grab, it belongs to you, and I only want the captured warships."

"Really...Really? Whatever we grab is ours?" A mercenary instantly released a piercing green light from his eyes.

"Of course! But there is one thing! If you let me know who is fighting among themselves for the spoils, then I will fight him the same way I would treat an enemy, understand?" Zhang Cheng warned in a serious tone.

"Hey! Please don't worry, we understand." Another mercenary smiled.

"Take the battle!"

"Take the battle!"

"Take the battle!"

……

With a loud cry, the mercenaries and sailors made their own choices.

For them, war means not only death, but also wealth.

Especially this kind of public robbery that does not require legal responsibility is exactly what they like to do, and after hiding in the dark cave for so long, everyone urgently needs a vent, and killing happens to be the most ideal outlet.

Undoubtedly, the captain sensed the savage nature hidden under the human appearance, so he turned the bow of the ship without saying a word, and rushed straight towards the enemy ship.

Not to be outdone, the other ship charged from the left.

Since Song of Ice and Fire has no relationship with artillery, naval battles still remain in the original melee state. Each warship is equipped with long and thick rams. The only way to attack is to ram the enemy, and then let the soldiers on board carry out Hand-to-hand combat until the last resister on the enemy ship is killed.

Because naval battles are not like land battles, the enemy has no way out, and usually they will resist desperately, with a frighteningly high degree of tragedy and high casualty ratio.

However, Zhang Cheng obviously didn't want to lose too much of his only troops, so he took the initiative to pull out the evil sword and stood at the forefront.
