The Battle of Yunkai is the second of Daenerys Targaryen's attack against the slaver-cities of Slaver's Bay.
History
Prelude

Aftermath
In the books
In the A Song of Ice and Fire books, the Battle of Yunkai takes place in a quite different manner. Yunkai has hired both the Second Sons - led by Mero - and the Stormcrows - led by Prendahl na Ghezn, Sallor the Bald, and Daario Naharis. Daario turns over the Stormcrows to Daenerys after murdering both Prendahl and Sallor. With the Stormcrows on her side, Daenerys orders an attack against the unsuspecting Second Sons, who are getting drunk on a wagon of wine given to them by Daenerys. While her Unsullied and Dothraki attack the Yunkish slave defenders from the front, Daario's Stormcrows take them in the rear. Almost 200 Yunkish infantry are killed while the rest surrender, likewise, the Second Sons suffer minimal casualties but yield nonetheless. Mero, however, escapes, but is later killed by Barristan in an assassination attempt on Daenerys.
The TV version does have Daenerys gift a barrel of strong wine to the Second Sons, apparently a nod to this subplot in the books.
