Game of Thrones: I'm flying a dragon on your face, how do you respond?
Chapter 46 Wildfires burn the sea!
"Lord Varys! Urgent news from Dragonstone!" It was a day later when Varys received the news from the little bird.
After all, the inner guards were not vegetarians. They were strictly selected in the six months after Jaehaerys came to Dragonstone. They had basically no connection with King's Landing. They were selected through layers of assessment. It's an exaggeration to say that they are all spy war elites, but at least they are all very smart.
When selecting them, except for Leila and Jaehaerys who knew the truth, everyone else thought that they were just selecting servants, guards and rough women.
The spies of the major families didn't care at all. When the inner guards were officially established, it would be too late for them to enter. Instead, they would expose their identities. Therefore, I dare not say that the current inner guards are 100% pure, but 70-80% can definitely be guaranteed.
Moreover, the tasks performed by the inner guards are only responsible for the upper line, and one upper line only manages one lower line. In addition, with the methods that Jaehaerys learned from various spy war movies, as long as a mission is leaked, it is easy to find out which link has gone wrong.
"A large number of fleets left the dock and are heading nowhere?" Varys frowned. This was not a normal phenomenon. He was also roughly aware of the previous actions of Dragonstone. In order to allow Dragonstone to last longer, he did not report the relevant news to Robert and Arryn.
But he knew that Dragonstone had a relatively safe "wildfire". It was said that it was improved by His Royal Highness Prince Jaehaerys himself, and it had played a big role in the previous actions.
Of course, he wanted this kind of weapon, but unfortunately the Dragonstone Alchemist Guild was closely watched by the so-called "internal guards", and it was simply impossible to get in.
His little birds tried their best, and they only knew that it was related to magic, but even the alchemists were vague about what it was.
Therefore, it would be fine for a short time!
"Collect intelligence from all over the place as soon as possible. I must know their real attack direction as soon as possible!" Varys changed his feminine style, and his tone was no longer sweet, but like the cold wind of King's Landing!
Two days later, Jaehaerys led the fleet to make a circle, avoiding the Stormlands and the islands of Tarth and Emons, and instead headed for Cape Wrath from the southeast along the Stepstones and the coast of Dorne. After arriving at Cape Wrath, he ignored all the fishing boats he met along the way.
"Oh my goodness, something big is going to happen!" All knowledgeable fishermen knew that this fleet flying the Targaryen red three-headed dragon flag was definitely heading for the big dock!
Many people rowed desperately, trying to pass this information to their lords, but how could they catch up?
Davos Seaworth suddenly felt a little palpitated at this moment, and this feeling was like being targeted by Sir Tretimont when he was smuggling.
This intuition allowed him to avoid many surprise inspections and ambushes by the Marine Guard, and also allowed him to avoid many "black-eating-black" and gunfights among his peers.
He called this intuition "the warning of the gods". Today, this feeling was particularly strong. He quickly sent a message to Earl Whitehead in the Weeping Tower. No matter where the attack came from, it would always pass through the Weeping Tower!
But before his raven flew out, he suddenly heard the sound of a horn whimpering!
His face turned pale. His intuition was still effective, but it seemed a little late this time!
"First echelon! According to the plan, indiscriminately attack the woods and embankments on the shore!" The flag officer issued Jaehaerys' order through flag signals!
Soon, ten large warships with 200 oars aimed the trebuchets on the bow at the above position. Although it looked harmless, the soldiers operating the trebuchets strictly followed the order.
The loader put a can of spring thunder into the leather bag of the trebuchet. The huge wooden box with a counterweight below had already arrived at the preset position under the traction of the capstan.
The launcher swung the hammer in his hand vigorously and hit the launching hook!
"Woo... whoosh!" The pottery jars instantly flew into the sky with the leather bag, but the leather bag and the throwing arm could only be blocked by the crossbar. They suddenly stopped flying in the middle of the air, and the pottery jars flew towards the set target like shotguns.
"Boom boom boom..." With the sound of explosions, ten warships fired at least 100 spring thunders.
Flames instantly burst out on the coast, and the flames quickly ignited several large catapults on the shore. The other side also acted quickly, and the sound of loading stone bullets and launching counterattacks continued.
The results of the first wave of battles were not as expected by Jaehaerys, but it didn't matter. This first wave was just a trial run. He prepared 4,000 pots of spring thunder for this war!
Of course, various traditional fire starters were also brought, such as asphalt barrels, various oil barrels, etc.
The second and third rounds of attacks were launched soon, because the loading speed of the small trebuchets was much faster than that of the "giants" on land.
But after the ten warships threw nearly 300 pottery jars, the "giants" on land also began to roar, and huge stones that could be held by one person fell from the sky and hit the sea surface, causing huge waves! But it was obvious that the range was too close and it was far away!
"Order, ships attack in a dispersed formation!" Jaehaerys gave the order, and at the same time, small and medium-sized ships took advantage of the time for the land trebuchets to load and quickly approached the dock from both wings.
At this time, the dock was in chaos. Davos had tried his best to command the crew to board the ship, but the ships on the dock were too dense, and many sailors could not find their own ships, so they could only follow the crowd everywhere.
"It's over!" Davos Seaworth sighed in his heart.
He didn't care to command the sailors anymore, but ordered the scorpion crossbows ambushed on the causeway to be pushed out!
Scorpion crossbows can't be exposed to rain, otherwise the crossbow strings will be useless. The seaside is very humid, so they wrapped them tightly with oil paper and leather. However, it was moisture-proof, and the temporary installation of the crossbow strings was life-threatening!
Not everyone dared to face the fire arrows and stone bullets, so only about 50 scorpion crossbows were successfully strung.
But at this time, the warships on the sea were within 200 meters...
Seeing that the enemy warships entered the range, more than 50 scorpion crossbows were not used to it, and shot over with a whistle.
There was no way, more than 50 arrows really didn't have much deterrence. The tall bow blocked most of the attacks, and a few hit the sails and masts, and the personal damage was basically 0.
Jaehaerys was not used to being passively beaten. He emphasized the principle of reciprocity!
Hundreds of arrows equipped with spring thunder were fired at their respective targets.
"Be careful to dodge!" Davos shouted, and instantly lay down and hid under the causeway.
Normally, there is no problem, but Jaehaerys's crossbows are all AOE damage, not their piercing attacks.
Therefore, after a round of volleys, most of the scorpion crossbows on the embankment were directly destroyed, and the 50 were the focus of attention. Several crossbows were aimed at one target.
For a while, the embankment was full of flames, and the survivors fled. Such a hot flame, if you don't leave, you may become a teppanyaki!
It is: Wildfires burn high embankments, and it is too late to defend the sea city. Encircle the poor dragon and ambush the cunning deer.
