Chapter 78: Stalemate
Strong orcs continued to climb up, and the battle on the city wall was already extremely fierce, but every elf killed in the battle could not be replenished, and gradually the number of strong orcs on the city wall began to exceed the number of elves.
Of course, Aragorn kept rising, but due to the terrain constraints, it was difficult to kill them. He also had to direct the elven archers behind the walls to cover a certain position with arrows, so that he could not concentrate on the fight.
If it weren't for the fact that there were many strong men on the city walls, the strong orcs would have turned the situation around after they had a numerical advantage.
The number of orcs is really too much, even with Aragorn, Boromo, Legolas, Hadar Kazuhiko, and Burning Heart constantly filling in the positions, the battle situation is only in a stalemate.
In the back, the orcs pushed up new weapons of war, a towering siege tower, and a ladder that was too long.
The long ladder required orcs to use instruments similar to bed crossbows, and the thick crossbow arrows were tied with ropes, and it was shot at the mountain wall or the walls of the fortress, and after the nails were firmly established, the turntable was stirred, and the long ladder was pulled up to the full.
"Hiko!" Aragorn yelled: "Destroy those ladders! ”
The role of a combat unit that can fly will naturally be greater in the battle situation, that is, the environment where arrows are flying back and forth is very dangerous.
Hiko was already a third-generation god when he left the Super God Universe, in fact, even if he was shot by an ordinary arrow, he wouldn't do much damage, and he was afraid of god-killing weapons that could destroy genes.
Burning Heart is to fly away from the wall section in one step, nimbly avoiding some arrows while quickly cutting the ropes of crossbow arrows nailed to the mountain wall or wall.
The Angel's Flaming Sword is a C-level weapon according to the assessment of the "Lord God", and the sharpness is naturally extremely sharp, and it also has a special move of the weapon, an attack skill called Flame Bombing.
Arihiko and Burnt helped the fortresses on the mountains on both sides to help destroy the long ladder, and the orcs naturally did not pose enough threat to the area that the Rohan were responsible for defending.
The Rohans, who did not have much sense of urgency, were able to concentrate on archery, which relieved the defensive pressure on the city walls to a certain extent, which was a virtuous circle.
"This is Isengard's army?" After a period of cultivation, Xiyouton naturally did not return to his heyday before being destroyed, but his spirit was not bad. He looked at the section of the city wall that blocked the orc army, and then looked at the stability of the high-altitude passage, raised his head slightly, and said proudly: "Just because they want to capture the Holy Helmet Valley?" ”
The orcs have already pushed the towering siege towers up, but there is at least one strong man in front of each siege tower, and no matter how many orcs rush up, they will be swept away.
The number of strong orcs who went up the city wall from the climbing ladder was not so large anymore, and they began to change to ordinary orcs, and the attack strength inevitably decreased.
Seeing that the army of half-orcs seemed to have no way to take the Holy Helmet Valley, and it was not so easy to take it by relying on human lives, Xiudon naturally needed to stand up and pretend to be a force.
As a leader, the necessary pretending skills are sure to be full, which can not only boost your own morale, but also damage the confidence of the enemy.
"I saw a big jar suspected to be filled with gunpowder!" Of course, Chu Fan was defending the high-altitude passage, and he was relatively easy to deal with, he asked, "Do you want to ......?"
On the side of the city walls, Legolas also noticed an anomaly. He saw a number of strong orcs, working in groups of two carrying large jars and jars, constantly approaching the city wall.
"Be careful!" Legolas continued to shoot arrows and kill enemies as he yelled, "I don't think those things are normal!" ”
It's hard to say when gunpowder will be available in the Lord of the Rings, the dwarves are used in the opening of caves, and no one has ever used gunpowder on the battlefield.
This is a world of gods, and any creation that poses a threat to the gods is sure to be sanctioned.
Saruman is a white-robed mage who has betrayed the gods, even if there is an agreement before, the moment after betraying the gods, what binding force is equivalent to nothing to him.
Presumably, Saruman broke the "conventional" aspect of the operation and chose to use gunpowder to determine the changes in the Valley of the Holy Helmet?
Legolas began to shoot arrows at the orcs carrying the jars, and for each shot he fell, the rest of the orcs would immediately fill his place.
The strong orcs are clearly determined to transport the large jar to the city wall no matter how big the sacrifice, and make up for the one that falls, and even begin to organize the human wall to cover it.
It's been about an hour or so since the start of the fight?
There are more than 20,000 half-orcs who can still fight at least 15,000 or more.
The armed forces defending the Valley of the Holy Helmet are about 2,000, and the Rohan people have not suffered many casualties for the time being, and the elves responsible for defending the city wall section have suffered heavy losses.
The elves who fought on the front line, that is, the elves on the city wall, there were nearly a thousand at the beginning, and after an hour, there were about five hundred left.
Rao is this group of elves has a strong discipline, and with half of the casualties, they are starting to be a little unbearable.
Elves are immortal species, and they are tens of thousands of years old at every turn, who doesn't want to live for a long time?
"Elves and humans are allies from ancient times to the present!" Aragorn swung his sword and swept down one orc after another, shouting, "For the covenant, for glory!" ”
Originally, the war that happened here didn't matter what happened to the elves at all, they came to support as allies, but they were arranged in the place destined to be the most fierce after the outbreak of war.
At first, the elves were pleased, proving that they were far more capable of fighting than the Rohans.
Vanity was tested by blood and fire, but the elves had not yet shown timidity or hesitation, let alone escaped from the elves, but Aragorn began to boost the morale of the elves.
"Shall we play?" Chu Fan once again swept down a large row of shield walls and asked again, "For us, it should be relatively simple." ”
"Something has to happen." Lin Bin stood still somewhere, only using the 'telekinesis' to control matter, or simply pinched one orc after another, and said: "We can't guess what new changes will be made once the city wall is not blown up, which is worse for us. ”
The entire high-altitude passage was defended by Lin Bin and Chu Fan, facing about a thousand or so strong orcs and more half-orcs.
Since the high-altitude passage is just a straight passage, and there are no guardrails on either side, the orc army can only rely on the hard top if they want to attack it.
There are no strong people among the half-orcs for the time being, and the participants of the mission in the other world are nowhere to be seen, they are blocked by Lin Bin and Chu Fan, and it seems that no matter how big the loss is, they can't break through, and the offensive gradually becomes hesitant.
"They're coming!"
