Chapter 127

In the last month of 298, Stannis baratheon finally completed the integration of storm lords and led more than 20000 leading troops to the outside of King's landing, most of which are the most elite knights and free riders.

At the same time, he also ordered his confidant Sir iMRI Florent to lead a huge fleet to encircle the capital of the seven countries by water.

Since then, the connection between Junlin city and the outside world has been completely cut off, and the rations of the army and residents in the city depend entirely on a few reserves.

In particular, the price of food has already exceeded the limit that most people can bear. Often, a piece of black bread usually worth only half a copper plate can only be bought by several silver deer.

As Zhang Cheng, who hoarded a lot of food in advance, naturally would not miss such an opportunity to make a fortune. He immediately ordered Blanco to secretly sell some of his reserves. In just two or three days, he quickly expanded his property from tens of thousands of gold dragons to more than 400000 gold dragons.

Of course, the 400000 golden dragons are not all precious metal currencies such as gold and silver, but also many collateral such as gemstones, handmade carpets, spices, horses, armor and weapons.

As for the price, it is naturally too low to be lower. Some are basically not much different from open robbery.

After all, when people feel hungry, they often lose their reason and are full of thoughts about how to fill their stomachs. Zhang Cheng makes use of this to wantonly search for folk wealth to expand their strength and prepare for the next plan.

However, this happy day did not last long. Stannis, who came all the way, took a little rest and immediately launched an attack on Junlin city with weak guard.

With the roar of killing, the battle of Heishui River, the most important battle to determine the ownership of the iron throne, finally kicked off

"See? My dear friend, this is the fleet Stannis is proud of. We must destroy it before it causes enough damage, otherwise it will be caught on both sides of the waterway. With our current strength, we can't hold on for three days." Tyrion stood at the head of the city and looked at the approaching warship on the water in the distance.

With sharp eyes, Zhang Cheng swept through the nervous urban defense forces around him, smiled and nodded: "I fully agree with you. Tell me, what are your plans and what do you need me to do?"

"It's easy! I'm going to hit Stannis's fleet with wild fire at one time and force him to fight a long siege with us. Your task is to pack the ships that escape from the back as much as possible and make sure they sink them before they escape into the sea." the little devil explained bluntly.

Although this is not the first time he has participated in a cruel war, it is the first time he has commanded a war from the perspective of decision-makers. The tension in his heart can be imagined.

"Don't worry, I promise that tonight will be the end of this fleet. No matter how they struggle and howl, they can't escape the fate of death," Zhang Cheng promised meaningfully.

"Really?" Tilly raised his eyebrows in surprise, obviously a little unconvinced.

"Hehe, someone once said that any verbal threat is far more powerful than the last clean action. Now it's three hours before dark, and you'll understand what I mean after three hours." after that, Zhang Cheng bowed slightly and left the city with his men.

Before he could walk out more than ten meters, Blanco couldn't wait to ask, "Sir, is it time to start?"

"Yes! Tell those mercenaries to prepare for battle! If you are lucky, their names will leave a heavy mark in history after tonight and get a lot of wealth at the same time." Zhang Cheng replied without thinking.

"I see! I'll inform you right away!" the old mercenary bowed, turned and disappeared into the alley around the corner.

……

When the last afterglow of the sun disappeared at sea level, King's landing finally ushered in a dark night, which was also a signal of war between the two sides.

Before the residents in the city could react to what had happened, the thundering war drums and shouts of killing immediately echoed over the city.

Followed by arrow rain, stones have drawn a beautiful arc and landed near the city wall or the houses near the city wall.

For a moment, screams, wails and frightened cries of women and children were mixed together to interpret the harm brought by the war to civilians.

But unfortunately, no one here cares about their life and death.

Standing at a hidden hole in the sea, while enjoying the picture of fire hundreds of meters away, Zhang Cheng gently stroked the restless young dragon around him and said softly: "calm down, it's not your turn to play now."

"Ow!"

The young dragon made a deep howl, and his violet eyes were full of undisguised excitement.

Just when Zhang Cheng wanted to say something, Blanco suddenly burst in from the outside and breathlessly reported, "Sir, our people have been on board and can attack at any time. Now we'll wait for your order."

"Be patient and wait until Tyrion finishes his performance before it's our turn on the stage. Look, the beautiful fireworks show will begin soon." Zhang Cheng quickly turned his eyes to the water in the distance.

In order to cooperate with Stannis's attack from the ground, the huge fleet slowly approached the city wharf, unaware that a huge trap had opened its mouth and waited for their arrival.

In order to attract more enemy ships into the ambush area, the little devil even sent a few Royal fleets to fight with a large number of enemy ships near the estuary of Heishui river.

When the two sides almost entered the scuffle stage, he immediately ordered people to pull up the huge chain net already prepared, firmly trapped all ships, and then issued the order to throw wildfire.

Next second

Boom! Boom! Boom

The cans burning the deadly green flame were thrown to the water one by one by the catapults. In just a few seconds, the whole river became a human purgatory.

More than half of the ships were destroyed at the moment of the wildfire explosion, and some tried their best to turn around and flee to the sea for fear that they might accidentally step into the footsteps of those unlucky people.

"Oh my God! This is terrible!" Blanco shivered uncontrollably, his eyes filled with awe and fear.

"How's it going? Isn't it spectacular? Let's go. It's time for us to perform. Remember, don't chase those ships that escaped into the sea. I need to train the little guy's fighting ability." Zhang Cheng patted the young dragon on the forehead, raised his arm and made a take-off gesture.

When the young dragon saw it, he immediately spread his wings and soared into the air with a whoosh.

With the help of the cover of the night, it silently approached one of the warships belonging to Stannis, followed by a dive, and aimed at the frightened sailors with a deadly dragon flame
