Game of Thrones Overlord Conquest

Chapter 15 Unbelievable

The night seems to be a beautifully woven tapestry produced by the Qohor people, but unfortunately there are no shining star gems dotting it tonight.

The rushing river meanders among the dense shadows of trees, with only the leaves rustling in the wind attracting attention.

Under the cover of night, several torches appeared intermittently beside the Qinn River. Under the supervision of the Dothraki holding sharp blades, the prisoners worked hard to dig out the soil in silence, looking along the direction of the caged livestock, and the darkness was endless. The transport convoy spread to the foot of Qohor City.

In front of the city of Qohor, it was even more quiet and dark, and even those who were not far away could not see each other clearly.

Groups of slightly stronger prisoners held branches in their mouths and were connected with hemp ropes at their waists. Those with excellent eyesight took the lead. They carried the soil on their backs and silently headed towards the foot of the city wall.

"Warn the prisoners, don't be anxious, slow down, and be sure not to alert the guards on the city wall."

Mongo personally brought the affairs officers Ofer and Casco-Corsolo to supervise here to prevent accidents and to respond to the situation at any time.

In the dead of night, the sound of the horses' hooves was too disturbing, so the three of them dismounted and walked.

After hearing Kaa's instructions, Corsoro turned around and left to carry out the order, while Ofo looked up and could barely see the faint light of the city head and whispered:

"Kaa, the city of Kohol is unique compared to other uninsurable cities. It is blocked by the Chinn River in front, so you can only pass through the bridge on the river. There is also the Kohol Forest on the side, which blocks the way. countless."

Meng Ge stretched out his riding crop, pointed at the bridge in front of him, and said calmly:

"When we rushed to the Undercurrent River, we took a detour directly around the city of Qohor. At the beginning, I was still wondering how the three thousand Unsullied were able to form an array with their backs against the city wall to resist the Dothraki cavalry. Seeing the terrain here, I was confused. Understandable, but it was this unique blessing that allowed them to indulge in comfort. Even basic defenses such as trenches and Juma were not built in front of the city wall.

Looking at the wide and gorgeous repaired bridge in front of him, Ofer seemed to think of something. He couldn't help covering his mouth and chuckled. He tried to smooth the wrinkles on his face, calmed down and said:

"The city of Qohor is in charge of the east-west trade route. The people of Qohor are only thinking about trade and gold coins. They just wish they could fill up the Qin River and use it to pass through for business. Who would care about the Valyrian people who built the city in the first place? , other functions given to the river, not to mention the fortifications you mentioned.”

Time passed little by little, and Meng Ge, who had extraordinary eyesight, could see the shadowy Unsullied night watch soldiers on the city wall. If the weather was better tonight, maybe they would be able to spot the gradually rising mounds under the city wall.

At night, through the bonfires lit on the city wall, he also saw several drunken sergeants urinating and insulting the city.

The sky in the east was about to turn white. Looking at the two city walls that were half-buried in the soil, Mengge knew that the attack on Kohol was secure.

Time passed again.

I don't know whether it was because the earth was piled higher and higher, and the unusual noises made attracted attention, or because it was getting darker, the defenders discovered the earth-moving team outside the city.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack. Accompanied by shrill shouts, heads on the city wall began to commotion.

Since the Dothraki sea eastward, Ofer has never taken a serious rest, which is a bit too heavy and tiring for a man of his age.

He looked tired and pale, but he still took the initiative to ask:

"Kaa, do you want to stop the filling plan?"

Meng Ge ignored the old man and looked at the panicked captives of the earth transport team. His face was expressionless and he shouted without hesitation:

"Continue filling in the soil and supervise the troops to come forward. Anyone who dares to retreat will be killed."

Then he ran quickly to the war horse in the distance, got on his horse, and continued to shout:

"The wooden curtain team comes forward, one hundred and fifty steps forward."

The wooden mantle team is composed of teams of dismounted Dothraki cavalry carrying wooden mantles. They will advance to the city with giant shields like wooden mantles and shoot at the archers hiding behind the battlements. Their purpose is It was to cover the prisoners and continue to fill the city.

As sparse arrows were shot from the city wall, the unarmored prisoners fell to the ground with blood staining the ground red.

The timid prisoners panicked, dropped the dirt on their backs, and tried to escape.

The hemp rope tied around the waist became the culprit of the chaos in the team.

The branch in his mouth was spitted on the ground along with his saliva.

Exclaims and screams followed.

Seeing this human tragedy, Meng Ge spurred his horse and shouted:

"Supervise the battle team to step forward and cut off the ropes of the prisoners. Those who retreat and those who run around will be killed."

As the heads fall to the ground one by one, the filling operation can proceed smoothly.

Seeing the dirt being transported back from the distant river and piled into several mounds, Mengge shouted to the Dothraki cavalry guarding behind him:

"Quickly pass on my order to bring back the digging team by the river and let them supplement the filling team."

The prisoners responsible for digging and transporting soil by the Qinn River were all old and weak, women and children, but they were not dangerous and did not need to avoid enemy inspections. They also had the help of livestock and were very efficient.

Now, the sooner the soil can be filled to five meters of the city wall, the fewer people will die.

"No rush, no rush." ​​Meng Ge held the riding crop with both hands, trying his best to suppress his excitement and urgency.

It is very likely that there is no such weapon as a ballista in the city of Qohor. It was discovered by the affairs officer Ofer.

For the past nine days, the Dothraki have not been idle. Ofer has surveyed the ground outside the city and found no weeds, trees, or strange rocks, which can be used as markers for ballista measurements.

Filling the city with prisoners not only paves the way for the army to launch an attack, but also consumes the arrows and physical strength of the enemy's archers and tests the strength of the enemy's ballistas and other sharp weapons.

As expected, only arrows were seen shooting from the city wall, but no more lethal weapons such as giant crossbow arrows and stone bullets were seen.

As the wooden mantle team approached one hundred and fifty steps, they started to shoot at the archers on the city wall. No enemy was seen using ballistas to attack the wooden mantle, which could defend against ordinary arrows.

Meng Ge couldn't help but wonder in his heart, whether the enemy was still hiding and hiding, or whether the garrison force of Kohol City did not engage in city defense on weekdays, but was only responsible for patrolling the streets and maintaining public order in the city.

As time passed, he was greatly disappointed with the defense of the city. The entire garrison seemed to have just woken up, without any organization. The enemy did not even use rockets to attack the wooden curtain. The mud was just white.

Isn't the enemy commander on the city wall? A bold idea entered Meng Ge's mind and lingered.

In fact, the garrison commander Salo Cote was not on the city wall. He was always cautious, but he drank too much at the banquet to drown his sorrows.

When the city's alarm sounded, he got up from the woman's bed.

Moreover, Meng Ge has a biased understanding of the Unsullied. They are impeccable in both their individual combat effectiveness and their discipline and organization.

But they are still just war weapons, no different from the scimitars, spears, bows and arrows in their hands. The weapons have no thoughts and will only follow the direction of the master's hand.

The Free Trade City-State likes to buy the Unsullied. In addition to their absolute obedience to their masters and their fearlessness in the face of war, they also let them act as guards to protect themselves, or patrol to maintain law and order. After all, the Unsullied will never rob or molest. .

Although the Unsullied are strong, they do not have much independent ability. All their actions in war completely depend on their masters.
