Chapter 289 Controlling the Slave City-State (Please Subscribe, Please Collect, Ask for Tickets)

The city of Meereen is situated on the northernmost coast of Slaver's Bay, on a sandy headland near the mouth of the Skahahadhan.To the east of it is a series of hills, and beyond that is a mountain range of sandstone.In the past, countless mercenaries went to Raza to burn, kill and loot through the Kaiser Pass on the mountain range.

On the bridge of the flagship, Ryan watched the city from afar through binoculars.The city is surrounded by a circle of tall and heavy walls made of colorful bricks, and there are defensive towers protruding from the city wall at intervals.According to former slaves who escaped from here, the bronze harpy heads on the walls can spray boiling oil on the enemy.The most impressive thing about this city is the tall pyramids.

"It looks very solid, but I don't think this city can last long with us." After speaking, Ryan ordered ten gunboats to leave the port and sink all the ships that wanted to escape.The other five gunboats covered the transport ship and landed on the edge of the wilderness outside the city.

When Ryan and the others landed, the city wall was also in a hurry.A lot of soldiers wearing copper scale armor and holding spears could be seen running around the fortifications.

Since this was a sudden attack, the city did not make any preparations at all.Ryan ordered 3000 soldiers with 600 robots to sweep the slave manors in the suburbs and mountains, and at the same time liberate those enslaved compatriots.And he took 5000 people to camp outside the city gate.

The day was uneventful, Ryan and the others needed time to rescue the slaves in the surrounding manors and mines, while the city was in chaos due to the sudden attack, and they could not come up with a response plan for the time being.Three days passed in this standoff without any conflict except for the gunboats which sank five or six ships trying to leave the port.The army that went to the countryside to liberate the slaves killed 1200 armed slaves with zero casualties, and at the same time rescued more than 2 Lazarines who had been enslaved and thousands of people of other ethnic groups.

These freed slaves were sent back to Raza by steamer after undergoing a general medical examination, and some soldiers even searched there.Their loved ones who were taken away long ago.This made everyone's desire to fight even stronger.

On the third day, the gates of the city were opened.The pikemen walked out of the city, formed a dozen square teams, and slowly advanced towards Ryan's camp.At the same time, under the escort of the army, a group of slave owners dressed in silk sat on the seats of the city wall.Laughing and pointing at the Lazarin army below the city, it seemed like they were watching an interesting drama.

"Are they crazy?" The staff officers next to them showed expressions of disbelief.Everyone is now fully aware of the power of the weapons they hold in their hands, and the Lazarin people who have been instilled in memory and blessed with faith are elite fighters.They didn't understand why the army in Meereen would abandon the walls and run out to die under such circumstances.I can't even understand why the rulers of these cities watch them like they are watching a play.

But the enemy's stupidity is also a good thing, and soon Lazarin's army also formed a phalanx with the company as a unit.In the gaps of the phalanx are steam artillery robots or steam machine gun robots.

After the pikemen on the opposite side left the city gate for some distance, Lazarin's army opened fire.The battlefield was immediately filled with white steam, and the dense array of spears was easily swept away piece by piece by the projectiles fired by the steam machine gun, while the shells filled with explosive cherries were projected into the army formation and the city wall by the steam cannon, blasting out blossoming A flower made of flesh and blood.

Each soldier is equipped with an air gun that can fire 20 rounds in a row. The effective range of this air gun is about 300 meters. A 13mm projectile can penetrate a five-centimeter-thick plank 300 meters away.The soldiers gave this magical weapon a poetic name: the Wind Gun.

They used wind guns to easily knock down the fish that escaped from the smoke 200 meters away, while the logistics soldiers shuttled back and forth between the shooters and the steam filling station to replace the gas cylinders for the shooters.

Finally, no one rushed out of the smoke, and the Lazarin soldiers put down their rifles in confusion.Although they knew how to fight this kind of war during the memory injection, they really didn't expect that it would be so easy on the battlefield.

Before setting off, these soldiers actually set foot on the battlefield with the determination to die.Because they have been aggressed all the year round and left a deep psychological shadow on them, this time they played this battle only with the idea of ​​fighting to the death for the gods and their hometown, but they never thought that the victory would come so easily.

Finally, the smoke cleared, and the battlefield in front of the city gate was displayed in front of everyone's eyes: the corpses of pike soldiers in bronze armor fell densely on the ground, and many of them were even wiped out in a phalanx formation in an instant.A large number of scattered body parts were scattered everywhere, and only a few lucky ones wandered in this battlefield full of corpses.

The battlefield fell into absolute silence for a moment, until a gust of wind blew down the city gate full of large and small bullet holes, revealing the seemingly chaotic streets in the city.

"Rush, rush in." At this time, it would be a fool not to seize the opportunity. Under the command of the officer, Lazarin's army quickly rushed into the gate through the unguarded city gate.In the case of losing most of the army and commanders, (the slave owners who ran to the city wall were basically wiped out in the first round of shelling, and by the way, the city completely lost its command.) Lazarin The army completely wiped out the resistance in the city and occupied Meereen with single-digit casualties.

After entering the city to restore order, the first thing Ryan did was to find a few slaves and ask why those slave owners would send troops out of the city to fight in the field.

The answer I got was a bit dumbfounding. When the surrounding slave plantations were breached, some slave owners ran into the city. After the people in the city knew that they were attacked by the Lazarines, they The impression of the Lazarin people is arrogant that it is the slave who sent it to the door.This is how they ordered the army to take the initiative to attack and even ran to the city wall to watch the show. In their eyes, this battle was just a good-looking gladiatorial fight.Their army can easily crush these Lazarin.

It's a pity that Ryan completely brought the Lazarin people into the era of industrialization in a short period of time, making the outcome of the war completely different from what the Meereen slave owners imagined, and they became the one that was crushed by the wheels of history.

After the war, the Rose Crystal came here to use the divine fire to absorb the unclaimed belief in the Temple of the Holy Grace, and at the same time implanted the roots of her belief in this city.In the case of a miracle, within a week, most of the people in the city began to believe in the Rose Crystal, which occupies the position of the Supreme Faun in the name of the Supreme Crystal.

A side effect of this behavior is that Rose Crystal can easily obtain enough information from believers, making it much easier to suppress the rebels later.

After the rebels were wiped out, a large number of crash course administrators took over the city.Started the process of modernizing the city.

And the army moved south along the coastline, and the other slave city-states were as vulnerable as Meereen.In just two months, Yunkai, Astapor, New Ghis, and a series of smaller settlements were captured and held, even if they were prepared for battle.Whether it's the loose mercenaries, the tough Unsullied or the elite regiments of New Ghis with armored elephants, they are all vulnerable to the dense bullets of the new army.And the thick city walls can't block the attacks of magic and artillery, let alone the fact that most of the slaves and defenders in the city are not of the same mind.

And individual hostile spellcasters who possess extraordinary power are easily killed or subdued by Ryan and the rose crystal.Naturally, Ryan also gained a lot of extraordinary knowledge.

After finally taking care of the western part of the Slaver's Bay with the core of the four slavery Ghis civilization cities, Ryan returned to Meereen, because there were more important things waiting for him than war here.
