Volume 1: Soaring into the Sky Chapter 26 The Tower of Fangs

Noon on the fourth day.

Hippolyta led her army to the Black Gate.

When Sauron learned of the death of a Ringwraith, the power of the Legion cavalry frightened him and hurriedly withdrew the orc infantry that had left the city to attack.

No matter how powerful the cavalry was, it was impossible to charge against the city wall, and he sent two rings to the Black Gate to order him to lead the army to defend it.

The coalition forces camped not far from the Black Gate, and Hippolyta observed the majestic Mordor Portal in the distance.

There are two tall watchtowers on the outside of the Black Gate, collectively known as the Tower of Fangs, called Nahorst and Kahorst, respectively, and the orc shooters on the main tower are condescending and have a very long range.

The arrows in the hands of the Legion cavalry are now basically provided by the Gondor, which halves the range of the mounted bow, and if it is the Legion's standard heavy arrow, it can also be used to play against the Orc Archer on the tower.

Without demolishing the Tower of Fangs, storming the Black Gate can only cause unnecessary casualties.

She plans to slowly tear down the Fangs Tower first, eliminating the threat to the Legion from the Orc Shooters on the Fangs.

I don't know what the regent of Gondor had in mind, but he actually sent troops with a large number of siege materials and attacked the Black Gate with her.

After the 1,000 sappers set up camp, they clanged to build siege weapons, which saved her a lot of trouble, and she didn't have to organize a death squad to use magic balls to demolish the tower of fangs.

As for the countless caves on either side of the Black Gate, Hippolyta did not pay attention to them.

Hundreds of thousands of half-orcs in the cave are not enough for the legionnaires to slaughter, and the narrower the terrain, the greater the advantage of the legionnaires.

Let the cavalry siege really don't know what Li Yi's brain thinks, Diana must not be like Li Yi when she grows up.

Fortunately, Li Yi meant that there was no need to attack, just let the legion cavalry and Mordor remain in a state of combat all the time.

In the evening, Hippolyta received a report from the sentinels that reinforcements of 1,500 men had appeared in the north.

After the reinforcements entered the camp, she learned that Antiope had done bad things with good intentions, and that this patriarch was too difficult to be.

On the one hand, she was worried that her sister would be punished when she returned to the legion station, and on the other hand, she was worried that this incident would deepen Li Yi's defense against Amazon.

Fortunately, Diana's birth prevented Li Yi from killing the Amazons.

On the morning of the fifth day.

Hippolyta sent three trebuchets that had just been built, and began the bombardment of Nahorst under the protection of the legionnaires.

Legionnaire cavalry stood by nearby, ready to cut off the orcs army that might emerge from the Black Gate at any moment.

The Gondor cavalry were sent out by her to collect the stones needed for the trebuchet, and the Gondor sappers continued to build more trebuchets in the camp.

In the evening, the trebuchet was pulled back to camp after an intermittent stone throwing, and the main tower of Nakhost was slightly damaged.

Day 6.

The main tower of Nahorst was crumbling under the bombardment of 13 trebuchets.

Day 7.

Twenty-three trebuchets bombarded the main tower of Nahorst, which was slightly damaged.

On the morning of the eighth day.

33 trebuchets, under the protection of the legionnaires, set out from the camp to prepare for the bombardment of the main tower of Kahorst.

As soon as the trebuchet walked out of the camp, the Black Gate was wide open, and the two Ringwraiths led tens of thousands of half-orc infantry and cavalry out of the Black Gate in formation.

The trebuchets withdrew to the camp and deployed, the legionnaires and the Gondor army defended the camp, and the cavalry came out of the camp to prepare for an attack on the orc army.

The two armies confronted each other until noon, and neither of them had any intention of making the first move.

If the trebuchet goes too far out of the camp, it will inevitably be attacked by the orc wolf horsemen, and even if the trebuchet cannot be dismantled, it will cause heavy losses to the Gondor sappers who operate the trebuchet.

The Legion cavalry mounted and attacked with cavalry, and were threatened by the orc archers on the main tower of Kahorst.

The purpose of the Ringwraith is to keep the last Tower of Fangs, without which the Black Gate is in danger.

Hippolyta has some helpless rogue tactics of the ring, isn't it good to let her easily dismantle Cahorst, she has to force her to fight hard.

"Circle! 10 columns of fish scales! 200m Lightning Orb! Amazon! Offensive! ”

The legionary cavalry followed Hippolyta and quickly formed a small circle in the movement, the cavalry of the legion on the periphery of the circle raised their guns with their shields, and the legion cavalry inside the circle quickly condensed with a shield in their left hand and a lightning ball in their right hand.

The small circle array quickly adjusted its position again, forming a five-row and ten-column circle formation of fish scale formations, and launched a charge towards the half-orcs in front of the Black Gate.

There was a constant rain of arrows falling from the main tower of Kahorst, and the arrows fell from a great height and carried a huge amount of kinetic energy.

Some of the arrows were blocked by the cavalry's round shields, and some were jammed by horse armor and armor, slightly piercing the skin of the legion's cavalry.

Mordor's arrows were infused with poison, and the legion cavalry on the periphery of the circle continued to cast spells to purify chaos, helping the legion cavalry who were condensing magic balls in the circle to dispel the effect of the poison.

The wolf rider first attacked with a roar of rage at the order of the Ringwraith, and then the orc soldier followed the wolfrider with his thighs open, and the Ringwraith did not move.

When there were still 200 meters left in the orc army, Hippolyta ordered loudly: "Release!" Turn to retreat! ”

Immediately, the lightning orbs that had been prepared for a long time in the first row of circular formations were thrown by the legionary cavalry towards the charging orc army, and the first row of circular formations quickly turned and retreated from the gap in the fish scale array towards the camp.

After the next row was 200 meters away from the enemy, he threw a group of lightning orbs at the enemy, and then continued to retreat in the direction of the camp through the gap in the fish scale array.

The unguided lightning orb flew up and down towards the charging orcs, and the ring spirit hurriedly drove the fallen demon beast to fly high and dodge.

Until the entire Fish Scale Array retreated, the army of orcs charging in front of the Black Gate had completely come into contact with the lightning orb group.

After the lightning orb approached the orc, it quickly turned into one or more lightning bolts and quickly passed among the orcs. The orcs who delivered a lot of lightning were directly electrocuted into black charcoal, and the ones with a little less were directly electrocuted, and their bodies were still spasms, and the orcs who were only attacked by one lightning were lying on the ground, their limbs were uncontrollable, and finally they were trampled to death by the orcs who charged behind them.

When a large area of lightning flashed through the orc army, there were few orcs left in front of the Black Gate, and the remnants of the army wailed and retreated towards the Black Gate.

The legionary cavalry retreated to the front of the camp, and no less than 10 arrows were inserted in each legionary cavalry, shield, and horse, and the legionary cavalry helped each other to clean up the arrows on their bodies and horses, and purified each other's arrow poison and healed their injuries, and the legionary cavalry's mana was exhausted.

Hippolyta ordered the infantry to protect the trebuchets out of the camp and bombard Cahorst, and the cavalry lined up nearby to protect them.

The Legion Cavalry is no longer able to perform Chaos Healing and Chaos Purification, and if the Ringwraith organizes another attack, then the Legion Cavalry will have to fight hard, and the Legion Cavalry will be severely damaged or completely destroyed.

The Ring Spirit flew in the sky and observed for a while, then flew back into the black gate and disappeared.

Hippolyta gasped, and she had won her bet.

Kahorst was no longer a concern, but the Black Gate was a new problem.

The entire Black Gate was wrapped in thick cast iron, and the trebuchet had to count years to smash it.

Watching the boulders bombard the main tower of Cahorst, Hippolyta's mind returned to the scene when she was a child learning archery.

Once she shot an arrow into the sky, and in the end the arrow fell with its head down, and its head fell down, and its head fell down?

She suddenly took her bow and shot an arrow diagonally into the sky, and when she saw that the arrow flew to the highest point and then turned around and fell down to the ground, she hurried to her horse and ran towards the camp.

The sappers in the camp were summoned to speak her mind, and the sappers said that there was not much iron in the camp and could not be made.

At this moment, the trebuchet just happened to blast across Kahorst's main tower, and the teeth protecting Mordor's black door were pulled out.

Looking at the corpses of orcs everywhere in front of the black door, without the threat of Kahorst, the armor and weapons on the corpses were ready-made iron.

The Black Gate is not as tall as the Tower of Fangs, and has a limited range bonus against orc marksmen.

Under the orders of Hippolyta, the legionary cavalry took turns to mount and shoot to suppress the orc archers on the Black Gate.

The Gondor cavalry, under the cover of the Legion's cavalry, went to the vicinity of the Black Gate to pick up the orcs' armor and weapons.

The garbage is then handed over to the sappers in the camp and melted down to make iron.

The sappers quickly made the first experiments according to Hippolyta's ideas.

A heavy armor-piercing arrow with a weighted head, with hundreds of them tied together and slightly tied to the tail, slightly lighter in weight than a large stonethrow.

After throwing a trebuchet at an enemy, the arrows used the power of the arrows to break free from the tail and scatter and fall towards the enemy, and the test was named Amazon Throwing Arrows.

Although the trebuchet did little damage to the cast-iron covered black door, Hippolyta ordered the legionary infantry to protect the trebuchet and build a defensive rampart.

The location of the barrier is important to be a threat to the orcs on the Kurokon and not within the range of the large catapult of the orc trebuchet behind the Kuromon.

Fortunately, the position behind the Black Gate is not wide, and the orcs can't put too many trebuchets to defend it.

Small gravel can be defended against the Legion's infantry's high-quality shields, while medium stones can be shattered in mid-air by the Orb of Chaos.

At night, the fortifications were built, and Hippolyta was ready to try out her new toy.

At the rampart, the Legion archers fired arrows to signal that the Legion cavalry in front was ready.

The Legion's cavalry used reconnaissance spells to probe the orcs behind the Black Gate, and then fired rockets to direct the trebuchet.

The rocket lifted off, and Hippolyta knew that there was a large group of orcs waiting for battle behind the Black Gate.

The Gondor sappers followed the direction of the rocket, and threw the Amazon arrows with a trebuchet.

The eyes of the coalition forces moved with the Amazon's arrows, and before the arrows could rise to the highest point, they dispersed on their own, and the scattered arrows flew forward for a certain distance before flying more and more, and finally crossed the Black Gate, adjusted their attitude under the action of the tail feathers and weighted armor-piercing arrows, and finally accelerated straight down and fell behind the Black Gate.

A large group of orcs gathered behind the Black Gate to fight, suddenly saw a rain of arrows floating in the sky and smashed over, and hurriedly raised their shields to defend.

The weighted armor-piercing arrows carried huge kinetic energy to smash through shields, helmets, and armor, killing a large number of orcs, and a large number of screams and wails came from behind the black door.
