Chapter 186 Deadly River Water

Chapter 184 Deadly River

Under the strong command of Mongol Khal, and in the desire for military exploits and wealth, the Dothraki rode one horse after another, without stopping for a moment, through the sunset and dusk, all the way into the dark night.

Time passed slowly, they still rode non-stop, and some cavalrymen began to lower their heads.

If they had not tied themselves to the horse's back, they might have fallen off the horse and died under the horse's hooves.

The tired but proud blood guards followed their leader who showed no signs of fatigue, and quickly left the scenery on both sides behind.

When they finally dismounted to rest, even the young and strong Norhat felt sore and weak all over.

At this moment, if Meereen sent an army to attack them, they would definitely win a great victory.

Unfortunately, the Meereenese did not have the courage. The Dothraki had already seen through their response strategies and their true and false.

Along the way, there were harvested farmlands everywhere, and even the trees were all burned, leaving only the scorched land and poisoned well water for the Dothraki.

At the same time, a slave was nailed to each milepost at the entrance of the village and on the road. They were nailed alive, with their intestines hanging out, and one arm stretched out, pointing to the east.

It can be seen that the Meereenese did not want to have any contact with the Dothraki, and only planned to clear the fields and hide behind the tall and solid walls of Meereen.

Moreover, the Meereenese wanted to warn the Dothraki with some cruel behavior.

There is no doubt that the Dothraki were enraged. They only rested for a few hours and woke up again.

It was still dark at this time, and there were many clouds floating in the dark night sky. Under the bleak moonlight, they continued to travel at the same speed as in the daytime.

After an unknown period of time, the darkness slowly disappeared like a thick fog, turning into gray, and the red dawn burst out from the hills behind them.

Dawn had arrived, and a cool breeze with the smell of the sea blew, making all the Dothraki excited.

Suddenly, a team of scouts holding bows and arrows returned, stopped their horses that were neighing with their heads held high, and raised their whips to point behind them.

"Great Khal, it's Meereen!" The scout centurion couldn't help but shout loudly.

Everyone opened their tired eyes and looked intently. The first thing that came into their eyes was not a city, but a huge pyramid, with a bronze statue standing on the top of the tower, reaching into the clouds.

As for the walls of Meereen, in the eyes of the Dothraki, they were like a ribbon around the foot of the pyramid.

Mongol ordered everyone to stay on guard, and then asked the scout captain:

"Tell me what you saw!"

"The city wall is very high and thick, well-maintained, with defense towers at every corner, guarded by many armored soldiers, who are very vigilant."

"There are also bronze harpy heads on the wall. In my opinion, they should be able to spray things like kerosene and boiling water outward."

The scout captain looked at the distant Meereen City, carefully recalled all the information he had detected, and continued:

"The western wall is built on the coast, which is a port, and many ships are still docked there. The northern wall extends along the river bank. The remaining two sides of the wall have been cleared, leaving no materials for us to build siege weapons."

After hearing this information, Bass Porter, a maester standing aside, sighed:

"It seems that the Meereenese have given us a series of problems."

The Dothraki are all cavalry, but even if they have infantry, they can't make siege weapons now.

Moreover, the walls of Meereen are high and thick, and ordinary siege weapons are difficult to work.

Not to mention the method of filling the city like the attack on Qohor. The area around Meereen has been fortified and the fields have been cleared. If they still do that, the Dothraki will probably shed blood under the city walls.

However, despite this, there is no worry on the faces of Mongol and Bas Porter.

——

The morning light is very bright on the banks of the Skaharzadan River. The rushing river flows through the city of Meereen and flows westward into the sea.

On the quiet riverbed covered with thorns, several Dothraki scouts suddenly appeared here on horseback, and the sound of the bells on their braids was particularly clear.

But they didn't care at all, because their enemies didn't dare to leave the city at all, so they didn't have to worry about exposing their tracks.

The team of Dothraki scouts waited for a long time, and seemed to hear something, and a few strange bird calls came from the river.

The leader was stunned, and quickly took out a bone whistle from his arms and bit it in his mouth, blowing three long and one short whistle.

Then, several wet Gith people emerged from the river.

The Dothraki cavalry quickly drew their scimitars and bows and arrows and remained alert, but the scout leader saw some problems.

These Gith people were a little strange, with a lot of black hair mixed in their distinctive red hair, and some blood-red water was flowing down their cheeks.

In addition to the task arranged by the great khal himself, the scout leader figured out everything in an instant, immediately suppressed the bow and arrow in his hand, and stopped his men from attacking.

"Put away your weapons, they are our own people!"

At the same time, the Dothraki camp heading east of the Skahalzadan River.

In the great khal's tent, Mungo and the captains sat on the ground, studying a map.

There are three major cities along the Slaver's Bay, from north to south, namely Meereen, Yunkai and Astapor.

As long as these three cities are captured, it means that the Dothraki have conquered the Slaver's Bay.

But cavalry sieges are always a big problem. Mungo has thought of many ways to do this, such as training a siege force, or waiting for the dragon to grow up, and wildfire bombs, etc.

With these, he dares to go up even the Black Wall of Volantis.

But time is running out. The only thing that can be used now is the wildfire bomb, and because of its poor stability, it was not carried during this forced march.

However, the problem is not difficult for people. If the hard power is insufficient, use soft power to make up.

Meereen stands on the banks of the Skahazadan River, giving the city unique geographical conditions.

For example, shipping, or water sources.

But the Meereenese never drink river water, only well water, because they themselves find it disgusting. All the excrement in this city will be sent to the Skahazadan River by huge brick sewers.

In the original storyline of this world, the Dragon Queen Daenerys sent a small team to sneak into Meereen through the sewers, create chaos in the city, and take the opportunity to break through the city gate.

Mongol could not guarantee that a plan would work. What if he put more pressure on Meereen and the enemy became more cautious, strictly guarding or directly blocking the sewers?

So, he sent Bono to lead a team of spies to lurk in the Slaver's Bay a long time ago.

One of their tasks was to explore the sewers of Meereen.
