Chapter 15 Unbelievable
The night seems to be a beautifully woven tapestry produced by the Kohor people, but unfortunately there are no shining star gems on it tonight.

The endlessly rushing river meanders in the thick shadows of trees, only the leaves rustling due to the wind are eye-catching.

Under the darkness of night, a few torches appeared intermittently by the Jin River. Under the supervision of the Dothraki holding sharp knives, the captives were silently digging up the soil, and looked at the direction of the caged livestock. The convoy spread to the foot of the city of Cohor.

In front of Kehol City, it was even more quiet and dark, and they couldn't see each other clearly even if they were not far away.

Teams of slightly stronger captives, with branches in their mouths, connected by hemp ropes at their waists, and the ones with excellent eyesight were the first, carrying the soil on their backs, and went to the foot of the city wall in silence.

"Warning the captives, don't worry, slow down, and you must not disturb the guards on the city wall."

Mungo personally brought the clerk Ofer and Casco-Kosoro to supervise here, in case of accidents, so that he can respond on the spot at any time.

In the dead of night, the three of them got off their horses and walked on foot because the sound of the horse's hoofbeats was too eye-catching.

Hearing Kayo's order, Kosoro turned and left to execute the order, while Ofer looked up, barely able to see the faint fire on the top of the city, and whispered:
"Kaal, compared to other cities that are safe and secure, the city of Kohor is also considered to be unique. There is the Qin River in front of it, so you can only pass through this bridge on the river, and there is the Kohor Forest on the side. countless."

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

"When we rushed to the Undercurrent River, we directly detoured around the city of Kehor. At the beginning, I was still wondering how the three thousand Unsullied stood against the city wall to defend against the Dothraki cavalry. Seeing the terrain here I can understand, but it is this kind of uniqueness that makes them indulge in peace and happiness, and even the basic fortifications such as trenches and Juma were not built in front of the city wall."

Looking at the wide and gorgeous bridge in front of him, Ofer seemed to think of something, couldn't help covering his mouth and chuckling, 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 all thinking about commerce and gold coins. They just wish they could fill up the Qinn River and use it for business. They don't care about the Valyrians who built the city back then. , and other functions conferred on the river, so to say nothing of the fortifications you mentioned."

As time passed, Mungo, who had extraordinary eyesight, could see the unsullied night watch soldiers on the city wall. If the weather was better tonight, they might be able to spot the mound gradually rising under the city wall.

At night, through the bonfire on the city wall, he also saw a few drunken soldiers urinating and insulting the city.

The eastern sky was about to turn pale. Looking at the two city walls buried halfway up in the mud, Mungo knew that the attack on Kehor was safe.

Time passed for a while.

I don't know whether it was because the soil was piled up higher and higher, and the abnormal noise made attracted attention, or because the sky was getting brighter, and the soldiers guarding the city found the soil transport team outside the city.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack." Accompanied by shrill shouts, the heads of the city walls stirred up.

Ofer had never had a serious rest since the Dothraki Sea East, and it was a bit too heavy and tiring for a man of his age.

I saw that he was tired and pale, but he still took the initiative to ask:
"Kayo, do you want to stop the landfill plan?"

Mungo ignored the old man, looked at the panic-stricken prisoners of the soil transport team, with a blank expression on his face, and shouted without hesitation:
"Continue to fill in the soil, the supervisory team will step forward, and anyone who dares to retreat will be executed."

Then he quickly ran to the horse in the distance, turned on the horse, and continued to shout:

"The Wooden Mantle team stepped forward, 150 steps forward."

The wooden mantle team is composed of groups of dismounted Dothraki cavalry carrying the wooden mantle. They will hold the giant shield of the wooden mantle and advance to the city, and shoot at the archers hidden behind the battlements. It is to cover the captives and continue to fill the city.

As sparse arrows were shot from the city wall, the naked captive fell to the ground, blood staining the ground.

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

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

The branch contained in the mouth is spit out on the ground along with the saliva.

Exclamations and screams followed.

Seeing this tragedy in the world, Meng Ge rode his horse and shouted:
"The supervisory team stepped forward and cut off the ropes of the captives. Those who retreated and those who ran around were all cut off."

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

Seeing the soil transported back from the distant river and piled up into several mounds, Mungo shouted to the Dothraki cavalry behind him:
"Quickly pass on my order to bring back the excavation team by the river and let them supplement the earth-filling team."

The captives responsible for digging and transporting the soil by the Qinn River were all old and weak, women and children, but they were not dangerous, and they did not need to avoid the enemy's inspection, and they had the help of livestock, so they were very efficient.

Now, the faster the soil can be filled up to five meters from the city wall, the fewer people will die.

"No hurry, no hurry." Meng Ge clenched his whip with both hands, trying his best to suppress his excitement and urgency.

It is very likely that Kohol City does not have such a sharp weapon as a ballista, which was discovered by the affairs officer Ofer.

For the past nine days, the Dothrakis 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 marks for ballista measurement.

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

Sure enough, arrows were shot from the city wall, but there were no more lethal weapons such as giant crossbow bolts and stone bullets.

As the wooden mantle team approached 150 steps forward, they started to shoot at the archers on the city wall, and the enemy did not see the wooden mantle attacking with ballistas, which could defend against ordinary arrows.

Meng Ge couldn't help wondering whether the enemy was still hiding, or the garrison of Kohol City, which didn't do city defense on weekdays, was only responsible for patrolling the streets and maintaining law and order in the city.

Time passed, but the city guard disappointed him. The entire garrison seemed to have just woken up, disorganized, and the enemy didn't even use rockets to attack the wooden curtain. The mud was considered white.

Isn't the enemy commander on the city wall? A bold idea entered Mungo's mind and couldn't get rid of it.

In fact, the garrison commander Salo Kotter was really not on the city wall. He was always cautious, but he drank too much with wine at the banquet.

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

Moreover, Mungo has a biased perception of the Unsullied. They are impeccable both in terms of their individual combat effectiveness and their degree of discipline and organization.

But they are still just a weapon of war, no different from the scimitar, spear, bow and arrow in the hand, the weapon has no thought, and will only follow the direction of the master's hand.

Free trade city-states like to buy Unsullied. Apart from their absolute obedience to their masters and their fearlessness in the face of war, they are more likely to be used as guards to protect themselves, or to patrol to maintain law and order. After all, Unsullied never rob or rape .

Although the Unsullied are strong, they don't have much autonomy. All their actions in the war depend entirely on their masters.
