"attack!"
This time, Saili brought an army of 100,000, including 80,000 infantry and 20,000 cavalry.
The 20,000 cavalrymen among them had a clear objective: the new army.
Having been captured by the enemy last time, Serri was still seething with anger, and he wanted to use the same number of cavalry to defeat them.
The remaining 80,000 men consisted of 10,000 archers and 70,000 infantry, of whom 10,000 were heavy infantry. These heavy infantrymen looked like tin cans, completely wrapped up.
Armed with massive hammers, the heavily armored infantry charged ahead of the column, heading straight for the Unsullied.
They were grinning maliciously. The weapons in the hands of the Unsullied could not break through their defenses. The spears that pierced their bodies could at most slow down their advance.
As for the shield in the Unsullied's hand, it could be shattered with a single blow from the great hammer.
The archers at the rear of the column had already drawn their bows, and a rain of arrows poured down on the Immaculate Ones.
"Raise your shields!"
The Unsullied remained calm, crouching on the ground and holding the shield above his head.
After the rain of arrows, none of the eight thousand Immaculate Ones died or were injured.
The heavy infantry were only fifty meters away from the Immaculate One. Seeing that the two sides were about to engage in close combat, Hao Yun, who was standing on the city wall, threw out the Yin-Yang Mirror.
If Hao Yun had activated this top-grade innate spiritual treasure, he could have annihilated the enemy's army of 100,000, but Hao Yun did not do so.
The Yin-Yang Mirror landed at the eye of the Three Talents Yin-Yang Array set up by the Immaculate One, and the array was instantly activated, with white mist covering the battlefield.
The battlefield, which had been filled with deafening shouts of battle, suddenly fell silent, leaving Sai Li, who was directing the battle, completely bewildered.
What? What's going on? Where are my people? Where is my army?
Chapter 161 The End of the Northern Frontier
"Wizard! You're a wizard!"
Seri, who had been full of confidence, almost fell off his horse; he was truly afraid at that moment.
The army of 100,000 vanished in the blink of an eye, leaving the battlefield shrouded in white mist.
Logically speaking, when two armies clash, there should be deafening shouts of battle, but the white fog was completely silent.
Within the white mist, eight thousand Immaculate Ones, wielding ropes, bound the dazed army of Meereen into a bundle, much like binding pigs.
The heavily armored infantry, who had been so menacing just moments before, were stripped naked. Their heavy armor was a priceless treasure.
The armor that Hao Yun sent out to purchase was all light armor, with very limited defensive capabilities.
As for heavy armor, even if Hao Yun could afford it, no one would sell it to him. What if you bought my armor and then came to fight me wearing the armor I sold you?
The army from Meereen arrived just in time, not only providing Hao with laborers but also a batch of excellent weapons and armor.
"Hurry up, everyone! Don't keep the city lord waiting!"
The speaker was Lei Hu, who was currently leading his cavalry to seize the enemy cavalry's weapons, armor, and warhorses.
Lei Bao, who was standing beside him, turned his head and glanced at Hao Yun on the city wall, muttering to himself.
"The city lord's methods are truly astonishing; he actually managed to make the other party stand there and wait to die without any resistance."
In fact, not a single soldier present was not surprised, and even the Immaculate Ones who had set up the formation were equally alarmed.
No one expected that the battle formation the city lord had given them would undergo such a miraculous change.
Outside the formation, Seli glanced at Hao Yun on the city wall, then turned and ran without saying a word.
He didn't have the courage to fight a wizard, who was seen as mysterious and terrifying by the general public.
Hao Yun, standing on the city wall, let Seri escape without sending anyone to pursue him.
After all, there's no use in capturing him, and we can't make him work as a laborer. It's better to let him go back and deal with him when we attack Meereen later.
Of the 100,000-strong army, only twenty men escaped with Seri. They were all guards and did not join the attack, which is why they narrowly escaped death.
Hao Yun waved his hand, summoning the Yin-Yang Mirror back. The formation instantly dissipated, and the soldiers who had been looking dazed just moments before regained their composure.
When they regained consciousness and found themselves tied up, they all started making a ruckus.
However, among these people, there was a small group of clever ones who quietly squatted in place, not saying a word, letting the others do whatever they wanted.
"All of you, shut the fuck up!"
When Lei Hu and Lei Bao led their new army to see the prisoners making a fuss, they rushed up without saying a word and gave them a brutal beating.
How could this group of people, bound by ropes, possibly be a match for fully armed cavalry? They were all easily crushed and humiliated.
The most disruptive ones were beaten half to death, barely breathing.
Lei Hu and Lei Bao didn't stop them, because they knew that if they didn't subdue these people, they would cause trouble sooner or later, so they had to be ruthless.
The troublemakers were beaten half to death, and the rest of the people quieted down and accepted the fact that they had lost. In fact, they still didn't understand how they had lost.
Could the city lord of the opposing city really be a god?
The news that the Lord of Dragon City was a god had been circulating for a long time, but few people believed it.
This bewildering defeat reminded them of this incident.
Hao Yun had already made arrangements for the next steps of these prisoners.
The 100,000 prisoners were stunned as soon as they entered the city. This is Dragon City, it's so beautiful!
The buildings and roads in Longcheng were all planned by Hao Yun, so they are naturally better than those in other cities.
In other cities, the houses within the city walls were all haphazardly constructed; to put it simply, they were illegal buildings.
Before the prisoners could even see clearly, the engineering department arrived. Following Hao Yun's instructions, they scattered the 100,000 people, assigning a portion to each department.
Those who built factories took 20,000 people with them, those who reclaimed land took 40,000 people with them, and the rest were divided up among the other departments.
At first, Lei Hu and Lei Bao were worried that the prisoners might cause trouble, but after patrolling, they found that the prisoners had completely integrated into Dragon City and were so happy that they didn't want to leave.
In Meereen, they ate only two meals a day, which were plentiful but of very poor quality.
Black bread, rotten vegetable leaves, and meat is a rare treat, perhaps only a few times a month.
But when we arrived in Longcheng, we had meat with every meal, three times a day.
They also received information that if they did well at work, they could join Dragon City.
After observing for several days, they found that Longcheng had good public security and fair laws; anyone who made a mistake would be punished.
Neither nobles nor wealthy merchants had any special privileges.
At the same time, ordinary people are treated very well; they get paid for their work, and there is absolutely no delay or non-payment.
This drove the 100,000 prisoners crazy; they worked themselves to the bone without anyone having to tell them to.
Hao Yun, who had secretly come out to patrol, felt much more at ease upon seeing this, even though he wasn't sure if the prisoners would cause trouble.
Seeing that they were working with peace of mind, Hao Yun felt much more at ease. At this rate, in another three months, he would be able to lead his army to conquer the Abyss and Meereen.
Hao Yun's strategic intention was simple: to take Slave Bay.
Once Hao Yun obtains the Abyss and Meereen, he will have enough room to operate and build a stable supply line.
To conquer the seven kingdoms, a stable rear base is essential. If trouble arises in the rear while you are fighting abroad, cutting off the food supply, how can the soldiers fight? They will all starve to death.
The land in Slaver's Bay is extremely fertile, making it particularly suitable for growing grain.
The rice planted some time ago has now yielded ears of grain. According to Hao Yun's observation, this land can yield three harvests of rice a year.
Slave Bay is so big; if we could capture the whole place, it would be a stable granary for food supplies.
While Hao Yun's side was developing rapidly, the seven kingdoms were also bustling with activity.
Robb, who led the Northern army into battle, ultimately suffered a great loss at the hands of the old fox Tywin Lannister.
When Robb and Tywin were fighting, they needed to cross a large river. The man guarding the crossing was Lord Walder Frey of River City. He said that crossing the river was fine, and he could even borrow troops, but Robb, the young lord of the North, had to marry one of his daughters.
Rob, a handsome young man, immediately became unhappy upon seeing the Frey family. The reason was simple: they were just too ugly.
After being persuaded by his subordinates and his mother, Lady Caitlin, Rob finally reluctantly agreed.
After crossing the river, Robb defeated Tywin Lannister and met a beautiful field medic. The two fell in love, and Robb considered breaking off the engagement.
The problem arose when Rob broke off the engagement. Walder Frey, not one to mince words, secretly allied himself with Tywin Lannister, that old fox, as soon as he heard that Rob had backed out.
A cheerful Robert introduced his uncle to Walder Frey, asking him to marry the man's daughter in his place.
Walder Frey, who had secretly allied with Tywin, slit Rob's throat at the wedding.
Lady Caitlin and Rob's fiancée also died.
Chapter 162 The Little Devil Goes to Prison
The biggest beneficiaries of the fall of House Stark in the North were the unassuming Rappers.
This family was a vassal of House Stark, but secretly, they had long harbored the ambition to replace House Stark as Warden of the North.
This bloody wedding was partly due to the efforts of the Skinners family.
The Red Wedding has come to an end, and Roose Bolton, head of the Skinners, has successfully become the Warden of the North.
Logically, in this situation, some of the Shrek family's vassals would surely stand up and object.
But times have changed. In the North, apart from the Skinners, all the other families have suffered heavy losses in this war and have no strength to oppose us.
Of the Stark family, only the eldest daughter Sansa, the youngest daughter Arya, and their bastard son Jon Snow survived.
As for the other two sons, Bran and Rickon, everyone thought they were dead, burned to death by Theon.
It has to be said that Theon is really unreliable. Even without Hao Yun causing trouble, he still ended up going down the same old path.
When he returned home to ask his father to send troops to help the Stark family, he was scolded by his father and changed his mind. Instead of helping Robb, he led his troops to attack Winterfell.
Relying on his familiarity with Winterfell, Theon led a dozen or so men and conquered the city.
But Theon forgot one thing: their Greyjoy family never raided inland cities; they were experts in naval warfare and only plundered coastal towns.
