Game of Thrones Overlord Conquest

Chapter 11 Attack the city as the enemy

The night is dark.

The tent was brightly illuminated by the bonfire, and the slightly damp wood made a crackling sound.

Mongo, who was determined to declare war on the Kohor people, was sitting in his seat, listening to Ofer, the clerk in front of him, tell the war history of Kohor City.

When he heard that three thousand Unsullied were defending and repelling the Dothraki under the city wall, Mengge, who was listening intently, asked:

"Were the Unsullied forced to do so, or did they take the initiative to go out of the city and form a formation to fight?"

Ofer lowered his head and pondered, and after sorting out his thoughts, he said cautiously:

"They should have been forced out of the city to fight. When the war began, the Kohor people first increased the number of garrison soldiers and hired two mercenary regiments - the Bright Banner Regiment and the Second Son Regiment. They then purchased 3,000 Unsullied, but Soon after, the garrison of Qohor City was defeated, and the mercenary group fled. The city of Qohor was in pieces. As night fell, the Dothraki retreated to their camp and prepared to break through the city gates the next day. However, at dawn the next day, the Unsullied were already there. Arrange in front of the city gate..."

"In other words, the city of Qohor itself was unable to defend itself at that time. The Unsullied were forced to fight outside the city with their backs against the city wall." Before the old man Ofer could continue to speak, Meng Ge spoke out. He concluded, and then sighed: "Although the Kohor people at that time relied on the Unsullied to achieve their final victory, they also suffered heavy losses from the Dothraki. Now I just hope that they will not be like you. Such a good memory to remember history.

At this moment, Corsolo, who was completely bearded and whose expression was completely invisible in the darkness, walked quickly into the camp, leaned down and saluted, and said:

"Kaa, I have sent people to imprison the messenger Morey Hut. According to your order, after dawn tomorrow, his limbs will be cut off under the watch of the soldiers guarding the city. At the same time, I will also take the opportunity to spread the prophecy to them. ”

When Corsolo finished his report, Mengge did not reply immediately. He lowered his head in deep thought and no one else dared to disturb him.

The camp fell into silent silence, with only the occasional crisp sound of burning wood heard.

After a long time, Meng Ge finally raised his head, with a calm expression on his face, and said loudly:

"Kosolo, starting tomorrow, we will continue to send slaves who can speak low-level Valyrian to shout, continue to inform all the people of Kohor of the prophecy, and also tell them that if they do not open the city and surrender, the city will be destroyed. On that day, the Black Goat believers will definitely be slaughtered. Now we will immediately send out a large number of patrol troops to patrol upstream from the intersection of the Qinn River and the Undercurrent River to guard against the landing of the Qohor fleet and a surprise attack on our flanks. "

Suddenly, Meng Ge stopped speaking and showed hesitation. His face was uncertain under the firelight.

Everyone was waiting quietly and patiently for Kaa's decision.

He sat up straight, closed his eyes and thought. After pondering for a moment, he made up his mind and shouted sharply:

"Search all the villages and towns around Kohol City and bring back all supplies, livestock, and people."

The Dothraki know in their hearts that kindness to their enemies in war is cruelty to their own people.

Taking a deep breath and calming down, Mengge stood up and walked into the camp. He lowered his head and thought about the siege strategy. Sometimes he looked up at the rough map carved on the wooden board. Then, he gently tapped a piece of it with his fingers. On the pattern of the dagger, he asked:

"Officer Orver, this is the Dagger Lake, a lake formed by the confluence of the Lorne River and the Jean River. It is also the only place where the Qohor fleet must pass when heading south or north?"

"Kaa, you are right." Ofer came closer to the wooden board to check and confirm, and then added: "There was a fireship battle in Dagger Lake, and the Kohol fleet was the main force in this battle at that time. Now, The Rhoyne River is infested with river pirates, and Dagger Lake is particularly serious. There are numerous caves and secret fortresses hidden in many small islands in the lake. Bandits here ambush and rob passing ships. We may be able to cooperate with the river pirates to attack the Qohor fleet. "

Meng Ge first nodded in agreement, then shook his head and said:

"We don't have a fleet, but the river pirates are cunning and treacherous. They will not obey the command of others, but they still need to cooperate with the river pirates, but we have to change the way of cooperation. After that, I want you to send people to Dagger Lake , spreading the news that the city of Qohor is being besieged by the Dothraki army, and that Qohor's gold-laden fleet will soon go south to purchase supplies. I hope that when this day comes, this group of river pirates can bring them to the other side. Some trouble."

The old man Ofer's eyes lit up and he said: "Use money to attract this group of greedy river pirates to besiege the Kohol fleet and prevent them from going south to supply supplies and bring them back to Kohol City."

Ignoring Ofer's response, Mengge continued to pace and think.

Attacking the city with the bottom and the heart at the forefront, preparing one's own defense, and cutting off the opponent's supplies are all necessary strategies for siege. However, he also lacks the resources and time to waste time with the enemy, so the siege must be more serious.

Thinking of this, he asked:

"Secretary, our craftsmen should be able to make a siege ladder and a giant skinned shield to protect against arrows?"

Although the Dothraki are not engaged in construction or production, and their manufacturing techniques are not exquisite or developed, they still have basic handicraft industries.

Sure enough, Ofo said without hesitation: "Kaa, there is no problem with this. We can use local materials in the Kohol Forest to make simple siege equipment."

After hearing this, Meng Ge nodded with relief and continued:

"I will leave you in charge of the siege equipment. At the same time, you must count out the male slaves in the camp and tell them that I will give them all a chance to escape from slavery."

After arranging all the plans that could be thought of so far, everyone else took their orders and left.

The breeze blew through the flames, swaying unsteadily, and Meng Ge stayed alone in the tent, thinking a lot.

The most powerful weapon of the nomads is the cavalry. They are extremely maneuverable in the field and can be said to be invincible. However, when they face cities and fortresses, they seem helpless.

Even elite infantry with well-equipped equipment often pay several times the sacrifice when attacking a city, not to mention the Dothraki who lack siege equipment and are all light cavalry without armor. .

In fact, he had not prepared to attack the city of Qohor before meeting the Qohor messenger Morey Hut. If the enemy dared to send the Unsullied out of the city to fight in the field, he would give the opponent a painful lesson. If the enemy stayed behind closed doors, he would only plan to burn, kill, and plunder. After obtaining enough benefits through intimidation, he would decisively retreat to the Dothraki Sea.

Before unifying the Dothraki, there was no need for him to rush to get what he really wanted from the city of Qohor.

But the arrival of Morel Hut and the prophecy he spoke created an opportunity for the Dothraki. No matter how strong the fortress was, it could not withstand an attack from within.

Don't hesitate. If you don't take what God has given you, you will suffer the consequences.
