Chapter 117: The Tallest Dwarf - Never Bow Down (6)
The dwarves who had figured out the trick began to cooperate with the reloaded trolls, they got as close as possible to the reloaded trolls, not giving each other a chance to play their full strength, and the dwarves on the periphery were no longer close together, but scattered to attack everywhere, and the scattered extra people fought with the strong orcs as much as possible for control of the siege ladder, not to mention completely resisting, but at least they could not let the other party rush to the city wall without hindrance.
The heavy trolls are indeed an extremely terrifying class, but when facing the dwarves, they fell into an embarrassing situation by mistake, and only the dwarves can hide at the feet of the trolls by relying on their short but powerful bodies to attack, if it is a human or an elf, this tactic is impossible to use unless children come, and those children are very likely to be busy for a long time without gain, because the weapons they can wield are difficult to penetrate the bottom armor of the heavy trolls.
Elby obviously understood this, so except for a slight pity, he was not disappointed by this heavy class, but the battle was once again developing towards a stalemate, and the stable dwarves found a trick to deal with the heavy trolls with the help of hundreds of dwarven warriors and Nevsky, and at the same time, Olaf brought his own flag officer to support around the battlefield, which undoubtedly greatly strengthened the dwarves' determination to resist.
The battle lasted from early morning to dusk, and the Orc soldiers even replaced a group in an orderly manner at noon, although the heavy trolls have been on the front line, but the help of the strong orcs is not too embarrassing, it seems that Mordor has the ability to equip the heavy trolls on the siege ladder, but does not have the ability to transport them down.
The battle began to turn around with the passage of time, the number of dwarves is not much, although there are a total number of about 50,000 mobilizable troops, but during the period when the Supreme City was besieged, only 10,000 people were gathered, 10,000 people guarded the dwarves' royal capital Supreme City, no matter how you look at the manpower, it is extremely tight, so the dwarves have no chance to rest or rotate, but Mordor is different, 10,000 strong orcs only need to fight for half a day, they can rest for a day and a night, and the wounded can also be well treated, It can be said that Mordor's soldiers have always maintained a high fighting state.
The longer the fight lasts, the weaker the dwarf's strength becomes, and in Elby's opinion, he is just grinding, and he can grind the dwarf to pieces.
The dwarves who had fought hard for a day could not get rest, and even after eating, they resisted a wave of attacks, and directly took the blood-stained cans and poured them into their mouths without hesitation, and swallowed them directly before they had time to chew.
As the last rays of light on the horizon were about to disappear, the strong orc soldiers began to maintain a defensive position on the city wall again, unlike the dwarves at noon, even Harold ordered the soldiers to stay on guard and rest on the spot, the strong orcs are now going to change again, if they don't rest now, the next wave of strong orcs will come up after the fierce attack, no one has the confidence to hold.
It's just that the dwarf soldiers are resting, but Olaf can't rest at all, if you don't think of a way to do it in the current situation, I believe that after tonight at most, the dwarves will no longer be able to hold on, no matter who fights continuously for 24 hours with a high degree of mental concentration, they will collapse.
Olaf stood in a relatively safe area of the city wall, looking at the almost unimpeded strong orc army under the city wall with a sad face, the dwarven defensive counterattack force was blocked by the cloud ladder, and under the key care of Mordor, a large number of firepower strongholds were removed, and finally Harold ordered that the remaining firepower points could not be exposed until the last resort, maybe the current Supreme City has completely no counter-firepower that can be used.
But in the end, there is still a shortage of manpower, and if there are enough manpower, how can those firepower strongholds be uprooted so easily? You must know that this is the royal capital that the dwarves have been running for thousands of years!
"Your Majesty, we can't go on like this, the soldiers won't last long!"
The white-bearded dwarven court minister almost cried in front of Olaf, although the court minister did not support foreign war in the first place, but when the war finally broke out, he still put on his armor and rushed to the front line, in these two days of fighting, he killed many strong orcs.
Out of respect for the performance of the palace minister, Olaf did not vent his anger on the other party, but just snorted coldly, of course Olaf also knows the current situation, but what can Olaf do? There are few dwarves, and there is no way to do it, but now there is no other choice but to grit your teeth and hold on until the last moment?
"Your Majesty, I can't go on, I should change the way I fight!"
When another voice sounded, Olaf finally couldn't control his anger, but the last sentence made Olaf stunned again:
"Another way? Do you have a way?! ”
Olaf looked, it was none other than Nevsky who spoke!
"No matter how much we hold on to the walls, we won't be able to resist for long, but why do we have to put the battlefield on the walls? We can fight street fights! ”
Street fighting!
Another new word for Middle-earth, for street fighting, this is the back road chosen by Lelouch to prepare a backup plan for the Battle of the White City, although the plan was successfully completed and did not appear, but it was also written down by Nevsky, and now it seems that it is too good to use it on his lover, leaving the city walls to fight in the city, thanks to the dwarves' hobby of digging holes, the inner city of the Supreme City is actually quite large, and the per capita area of the dwarves is quite wide, as long as the old and weak are hidden in a safe enough place in advance, With their familiarity with the geography, the city would be the most advantageous area for the dwarves, and the advantage of reloading trolls would be greatly diminished in the small potholes for them, and the soldiers would be able to get plenty of rest.
It can be said that as long as the dwarves can protect the important dark passages and material areas, the dwarves will be invincible in the city!
Nevsky quickly told Olaf the combat elements of street fighting, Olaf is not a stupid person, after discussing with Harold very decisively chose street fighting, although abandoning the city wall means defeat in Middle-earth, which is still in the 'late Middle Ages', but the current situation no longer allows Olaf to think too much, and now he can only use a dead horse as a live horse doctor.
So, at Nevsky's suggestion, a battle that will never appear in Western fantasy appeared, dwarves and strong orcs, street fighting!
...
The dwarves who had settled their minds began to retreat in a planned way, and a large number of old and weak people in the city headed towards a huge cavern in the most secret part of the Supreme Pit, which was the old town of the Most High City, and the old city when the Most High City was built, and it was so old that few people knew about it, and the huge internal cavity rarely allowed people to set foot in this place, but at this time it became the most ideal haven for street fighting.
The migration of the population is easy to do, but there are some problems with the materials, because the number of materials is too large, and almost all the materials supported by Lelouch are in the Supreme City, so it is impossible for the dwarves to transport all of them to the old city in a short time, and Olaf only gave the insiders one night, because this is already the longest time that the dwarves can resist, and if they don't retreat at that time, the city wall will really be lost.
And although he is very unwilling, but under the estimation of the palace minister, one night can completely carry out the needs of meeting the needs of the Supreme City for five days, and five days later, when the centaur army appears, when the time comes, the horn of the counterattack will be sounded, and success or failure will be in this move, so no matter how much it is, it is not too useful.
The dwarves who got the order quickly began to act, as the people of the god of craftsmen, I have to say that the average IQ of the dwarves is the highest in all civilizations, but after a simple explanation, the dwarves understood the benefits and purposes of doing so, so they were extremely cooperative, everyone took as much supplies as possible, and each dwarf brought as much food as possible, in the hope that they could hold on to five days.
It is impossible for the dwarves to make a few more trips, because the Supreme City, which has almost hollowed out the Supreme Mountains, has to walk from the new city to the old city all night, so the dwarves have no chance to run back and forth twice to transport supplies. (In Western fantasy, dwarves hollow out entire mountain ranges, but the dwarves themselves need smaller living quarters.)
And the dwarven soldiers on the city walls were undoubtedly relieved when they learned that they only needed to hold out for one more night before they could retreat to the city to rest, although it was torture to fight for 24 hours in a row, but gritted their teeth and it was over, as long as there was hope, everything would be fine.
Elby felt the changes on the city wall, although he was curious about how the dwarves had regained their fighting spirit, but Elby was not worried, in Elby's opinion, the dwarves would hold out until tonight at most, and the battle tomorrow morning would completely destroy the dwarves, so Elby confidently looked at the strong orc soldiers who were going on step by step, and did not urge.
The battle is still going on as always, and the tragic situation is not much easier than during the day, but the dwarves are obviously more resilient than just now, obviously they don't care about how many strong orc soldiers they kill, but delay time and hold on as much as possible, which makes Elbi very puzzled, because in Elby's view, blindly holding on without foreign aid is just a delay in death, in the concept of the Middle-earth, all battles should be carried out for the purpose of killing and injuring the enemy and obtaining the final victory, not the current one, Blindly stick to it that seems to have no future!
