Chapter 297: Red Dragon
And now, the siege platform that the orcs relied on was forcibly destroyed by Xiao Qiuyu relying on the unreasonable killing weapon of the bazooka, and it was impossible to gnaw away the solid Baicheng tower by relying solely on the ladder and the rushing car.
If you can't break through the defense line of the city wall, even if you have a million troops, it is meaningless, and as a last resort, the Ring Spirit overstepped its authority to use a super killer weapon like Grund......
Xiao Qiuyu watched the movie, so he naturally knew that Grond was infinitely powerful, and he destroyed the city wall defense of Baicheng with just two attacks...... You don't even need to watch a movie, anyone can see that such a huge and terrifying war machine can definitely destroy the city gates easily.
In this case, then the only way to do this is to take the initiative and defeat the orc army before Grund is pushed to the gate of the White City, otherwise once the city is breached, even if it can win, it will pay a huge price.
On Aragon's orders, the gates of the city were opened on their own initiative......
Faced with this situation, the orc soldiers who were constantly fiddling with the siege car were inexplicable for a while, and they couldn't shake the city gate with all their might, but the other party actually took the initiative to open it...... Are they sick?
But the orcs didn't have time to sigh about this, as a large number of warriors in heavy plate armor rushed out.
These troops are the strongest infantry in Gondor, the Spring Guards, after they have been injected with the T-virus, they have unimaginably powerful physiques, even if they are wearing dozens of pounds of armor, they are still walking like flying, and the power of their blows can easily hack the orcs in their way to death.
Super soldiers who have been strengthened by the T-virus can easily take down hundreds of people on their own...... And when these super soldiers formed an army, they immediately turned into an unstoppable torrent of steel, easily killing the orc army in front of them.
On Gondor's flanks, countless knights in armor charged, the most elite knights of the Dart Riding Nation, who were invited by Aragon to reinforce Gondor.
The Dark Lord's invasion of Middle-earth brought a terrible nightmare to the races of Middle-earth, even though the Dark Lord has fallen, but the shadow of the year still lingers, and all the countries and races of Middle-earth know that the orcs who serve the Dark Lord are a threat to the entire Middle-earth continent!
Gondor, on the other hand, is a country bordering the orc kingdom of Mordor, and has struggled to resist the invasion of the orcs for many years...... Once Gondor falls, then Rohan, who borders Gondor, will not end well.
So when Gondor came to an existential stake, Rohan did not hesitate to send almost all of the main knights to reinforce Gondor.
Although Rohan was not as powerful as Gondor, their cavalry was unrivaled in their strength and numbers, making them a force to be reckoned with.
Because according to the setting, if the prototype of Gondor is the Byzantine Empire, then Rohan's positioning is equivalent to Poland, and the strongest in Poland is the hussars.
The T-Virus warriors sent by Aragon attacked the Half-Beast Rao army from the front, dragging its main force in front of the White City, while the massive cavalry troops rushed out of the side gates and then made a detour to attack the phalanx of the orc army.
The reason why this is so is because if the cavalry wants to exert its combat effectiveness, it must have enough distance to charge and accelerate, and if it rushes out in the city, the war horse does not dare to spread its speed at all.
In addition to the 40,000 cavalry reinforced by Rohan, there were more than 2,000 heavily armored cavalry wearing dark blue goose down blankets, which were the most elite "goose knights" of Gondor.
The two thousand goose riders were all injected with the T-virus, and once they rushed into the crowd and slaughtered the surrounding orc soldiers, they immediately chopped melons and vegetables.
"It's also time for me to take the stage," Xiao Qiuyu proudly took out the demon knife village rain.
The right hand gently grasped the hilt of the knife, and the left hand slowly slashed across the blade, and as the light continued to shine, a huge red dragon was summoned by Xiao Qiuyu.
Xiao Qiuyu jumped onto the top of the red dragon's head, and flew to the battlefield where he was fighting on this giant dragon.
The red dragon soaring in the air roared, spitting out fiery dragon breath at the orc army on the ground, and the raging flames spread wildly in the orc army.
"Oh, that's a dragon!"
"But as far as I know, aren't all the last dragons in Middle-earth dead, so why are there still dragons?"
"Look, there's a figure on the dragon's back...... Is he the Dragon Knight in the cross?"
The appearance of the red dragon shocked everyone, whether it was orcs or humans, and they all had an extraordinary fear in the face of this mythical beast that only existed in the legend.
The Ringwraiths looked hatefully at the dragons raging in the air, unlike the ignorant soldiers, who had a lot of combat experience and knew that dragons were not invincible...... If they could fly into the air, with the strength of the eight of them, they could easily hack the dragon to death along with Xiao Qiuyu who was riding on its back.
However, their flying mounts, the winged beasts, were all destroyed by Xiao Qiuyu, and now they could only stay on the ground, and they were helpless in the face of the red dragon flying in the air.
And this is also the conclusion that Xiao Qiuyu has come to after careful consideration...... The peak combat power of the orcs is nothing more than the Nine Rings, as long as they kill all their mounts, and then ride the dragon on the battlefield themselves, there is no enemy who can stop them.
At this moment, Xiao Qiuyu was standing proudly on top of the dragon's head, and the oncoming wind made his clothes and long hair fly, and in this battlefield full of killing and death, he felt that he had an incomparable freehand and chic.
In fact, he didn't need to do anything himself, the red dragon's flame was extremely limited to the power of the master, but its large attack range was simply the perfect killing artifact on the battlefield of thousands of troops! It was only a few minutes since Xiao Qiuyu appeared on the scene, but there were more than 1,000 orcs who died under the dragon flame.
It's just that the red dragon's flames are not endless, especially when Xiao Qiuyu ordered it to spit wildly, when the flames were consumed eighty or ninety, the red dragon also stopped spraying flames.
Even if the fire breathing stopped, the Red Dragon still had great lethality to these low-level soldiers, and every time it pounced on the battlefield from the air, it could crush many orcs in an instant, and his fangs and claws also killed these orcs all the time!
This orc force was originally very large, but in the previous siege battle, at least a third of the troops were killed by the magic plants arranged by Xiao Qiuyu, and now the remaining troops were hit by the full firepower of Gondor's side......
On the front, there were 8,000 super infantry reinforced by the T-virus, and on the back, tens of thousands of cavalry were frantically charged, and countless elven archers on the city wall were pouring arrows towards the Beast Rao army array, plus a red dragon that was constantly slaughtering the Beast Rao in the air......
Seeing that the orc army was about to collapse, and in the distance on the horizon, another huge legion was slaughtering.
"It's the Pirates of Ambar, and the Haradians...... Do they want to come and take advantage of the fire?" Aragorn frowned at the enemy who had arrived for reinforcements.
