Chapter 114: The Tallest Dwarf - Never Bow Your Head (3)
Fierce battles broke out everywhere on the city wall, the dwarves and the strong orcs were divided into countless phalanxes to fight on the wide city wall, the arrows spread throughout the battlefield, the dwarf phalanx drove the landed strong orcs, and the strong orc soldiers shot condescendingly on the siege ladder, although the dwarves did not produce too many casualties with the help of excellent armor, but they could not drive the strong orcs down with all their strength, and the two sides formed a stalemate on the city wall.
It seems that the two sides seem to be in the same situation, but this situation is extremely beneficial to the dwarves, the dwarves' talent for industrial technology can be said to be the highest in the entire Middle-earth, the trebuchets and crossbows they have developed are far more powerful than other forces, and in the dwarven royal capital, these defenses are deployed outside almost the entire city without money, and the dense firepower covers almost the entire enemy front line, whether it is the Mordor trebuchet position far behind or the siege equipment in front of the city wall, the dense stone bullets and crossbow arrows wantonly harvest the Mordor army array that has begun to be slightly crowded, the stationary siege ladder was ignited and destroyed at an increasing speed.
In fact, the kind of wall battles in film and television dramas are all indiscriminate, both in the East and the West, they attach great importance to wall battles, generally speaking, the degree of melee in film and television dramas is either that the attacker is completely defeated, or the defender is completely defeated, otherwise, even on the city wall, the two sides will definitely maintain a formation to fight, but it is just the difference between the strictness and rationality of the formation.
The battle lasted from early morning to dusk, and with the tired roar of the wyvern, Mordor finally left the city wall where he had been fighting for a day, and the retreating Mordor did not panic, they left the city wall along the few remaining ladders, and left in an orderly manner with the support of the reinforcements below, and the reinforcements below even sent out a dense rain of arrows and stone bullets to cover their retreating troops, and the whole process reflected the strength of the Mordor strong orc legion.
The dwarves also lost the idea of pursuing in the face of the retreating Mordor, they sat back to back, dropped the slippery weapons that had long been stained with blood, tired rest, the battlefield that had been noisy for a day finally quieted down, and the plain in the middle was not only scattered with dead corpses, but also a large number of destroyed siege equipment, and one or two ladders were burning, and the blazing flames made a crackling sound, and spread far away in the silent night.
The first day of the battle undoubtedly gave the dwarves great encouragement, if you look at this trend, the dwarves are fully confident that they will defend for nine days, and even half a month does not seem to be a luxury, and in the city behind them, there are a large number of materials stored, and they are not afraid of long-term sieges at all, in fact, if Mordor besieges the city for a long time, it will cheapen the dwarves, and the power of the dwarves will grow rapidly over time, although Mordor will be the same, but a defeat of the human race will be counted, if it is added to the fact that the dwarves are successfully blocked out, then Mordor's prestige is really going to be completely swept away。
After the war, it is often necessary to replenish a large number of supplies, although Mordor has only been evacuated for half an hour, but the logistics that have already been prepared began to operate, a large number of wooden barrels were sent to the city wall, which is filled with sweet bread and canned Hornfort meat, although the canned Hornfort meat is not very suitable for dwarves who love sweets, but it also brings a different flavor to the dwarves, in general~ delicious and convenient.
The canned meat is all stuffy in the soup pot, and the sweet bread, canned meat, and hot soup are already a very good diet for the battlefield.
On the first day of the battle, Olaf did not let Nevsky and his hand-picked dwarven warriors play, and he did not even send his own royal guards, and Olaf was not happy that he could still resist Elby's army of strong orcs while leaving a backhand, because Olaf knew that since he could keep a backhand, then Elby must also have a backhand, at least in today's battle, the dwarves did not meet even a single troll.
Of course, this is because the siege ladder is simply not able to transport such a large heavy unit, but Olaf believes that Elby must have a way to send the trolls to the city wall, and Mordor is mostly orcs, but Mordor is not short of technicians, and goblins may not be particularly good at research and development, but the huge goblin race can definitely produce one or two top wise men who are comparable to dwarven masters, and it is said that Mordor's most trusted prime minister is a goblin.
Olaf was apprehensive about the battle that followed, but Olaf didn't say anything about the morale of the dwarven soldiers, and anyway, the higher the morale of the dwarves before the trolls appeared on the battlefield, the higher the casualties against Elby.
"Your Majesty, this is your dinner!"
A dwarven guard respectfully brought Olaf his food, Olaf's food was not much different from other ordinary dwarven soldiers, except that in order to show dignity, an extra pickled fish was added, who can imagine how much dwarves like to eat pickled fish?
Of course, the main reason is also because the cave may not be suitable for farming, but it is more than enough to raise fish, especially in the big pits that exist everywhere in the dwarf cave, it is a pity not to raise fish.
Pickled fish as an officer's equipment, of course Nevsky also has, the pickled fish is not large, in fact, for adults the mouth can grow a little bit can be done in one bite, for Nevsky is even smaller, but at this time Nevsky did not have the kind of eating and drinking in Fort Clarrum, at this time Nevsky did not know if it was close to home, so he recalled the respect for food at home, Nevsky slowly put the pickled fish into his mouth, the tender fish meat with a little crispy and salty taste, mixed with the umami of the fish, people have a feeling of earth saury。
Nevsky chewed slowly, feeling the friction of the fish between his teeth, and the scattered deliciousness, chewing the fish finely, and then drinking it mixed with mushroom soup, the dwarven food also has a unique flavor.
The dwarven soldiers who had food supplements quickly regained some strength, they stood up and began to be vigilant, and some began to clean the battlefield on the city walls, depriving the strong orcs of their weapons and armor, and sending them to the iron furnace to modify them slightly, which could be used as dwarf equipment, dwarf equipment may not be as big as the strong orcs, but it is definitely thicker than the strong orcs, short and powerful, that is, dwarves.
