Chapter 296: Potato Mine
As a battle freak, there's nothing more satisfying than an opponent who can compete with him.
……
Although the Nine Rings' attack was repulsed, the situation was still not optimistic, and before Xiao Qiuyu and them could make a move, the Rings had already destroyed all the trebuchets in Baicheng with lightning speed...... Without trebuchets, the giant Cherry Bomb and Flame Pepper would not have been able to be thrown onto the battlefield.
Without weapons of mass destruction such as cherry bombs and flaming peppers, the pea shooter and spiked cactus alone, which can only shoot a single shot, will not be able to resist the influx of orcs.
The potato mines arranged by Xiao Qiuyu were as powerful as they were, but with the continuous attacks of the orcs, almost all of these land mines were detonated, so they could not continue to snipe the advancing orc army.
Soon, the orcs had rushed to the edge of the city wall, various ladders and siege platforms were erected on the wall, and countless orcs in armor roared and pounced.
Gondor's defenders immediately rushed forward with shielded swords and fought the enemy on the walls.
Xiao Qiuyu frowned, the cloud ladder was upside down, the speed of the siege platform to transport troops was too fast, and in just a few minutes, the orcs had already occupied a section of the city wall.
"Since the enemy can use the Ring Spirit to destroy our trebuchet, I can also follow suit......" Xiao Qiuyu smiled lightly and took out a powerful bazooka from his personal space.
The gimbal is very tall, but it is made of wood...... This is a matter of course, such a large thing, even if it is made of wood, it is as slow as a snail, and if it is made of rock or metal, even Orog will not be able to push it.
Since it is a wooden structure, its own strength is naturally not good, when Xiao Qiuyu fired a rocket, it suddenly produced a violent explosion in the middle of the gimbal, the overall structure broke from the middle, and the blazing flames brought by the explosion also ignited the gimbal, and the entire gimbals were filled with gas.
The orc soldiers who were climbing up the gimbal were either reduced to pieces in the violent explosion or burned to ashes by the flames that ignited and simmered.
As for the orcs who had just entered the siege platform, they saw a raging fire overhead, and immediately ran back in panic.
Seeing that the first shot had an effect, Xiao Qiuyu made up his mind, he shot one after another, relying on the huge power of the bazooka to destroy one siege platform after another.
When the siege platform was destroyed by Xiao Qiuyu, the orcs who had already rushed to the city wall fell into a situation where they had no reinforcements and could only fight alone.
Although they had occupied a large section of the wall, without reinforcements behind them, they would only be defeated in the face of the tidal wave of Gondor soldiers.
No, the gimbal has been destroyed, and there is no possibility for them to escape at all, unless they jump off the city wall...... But even if they would have a leap of faith, there would be no haystacks underneath.
Although the ladder still sent orc warriors to the city wall, the efficiency of the ladder was far from catching up with the siege platform, and it was unable to break through the well-defended walls of the White City.
At the city gate, a series of siege carts pushed over, and countless orc soldiers were struggling to hit the city gate.
Above them, countless elven archers rained down like a shower, and their longbows were so penetrating that they could even shoot the orc warriors inside after piercing the planks of the siege vehicles.
The grandeur of the White City was beyond imagination, so the gates were so large and so strong that the orcs could not break through the thick gates even though they had sacrificed a large number of warriors.
Seeing this, a ring spirit who had already returned to the command of the military formation directly ordered, "Send out Grande and immediately blast open the gates of the White City for me!"
"However, only the Witch King of Angmar has access to Grande, and you seem to have trespassed the ......
The pitch-black light flashed, and the Ringwraith directly cut off the orc officer's head with a sword, and he said to the countless commanders under him in a calm tone, "Before the Witch King of Angmar is resurrected, I am the supreme commander here!"
No one dared to disobey the order of this ring spirit, and soon, the orcs pulled out a huge siege engine!
This artifact is at least thirty meters high, and the height is almost equal to the city wall of the White City, and it is installed on the front
Because it is so huge, the front is pulled by eight sturdy rhinoceros.
In addition to the frontal haulers, there were more than twenty Orogs who were seven or eight meters tall pushing the huge Grund siege machine towards the gate of the White City.
"Grande! Grande! Grande! Grande! Grande!" The orc soldiers along the way kept raising their weapons and shouting.
As long as they saw this huge siege engine, all the soldiers spontaneously developed a strong and incomparably confident that with such a terrifying siege engine, Gondor would inevitably break itself.
Seeing this siege weapon, Xiao Qiuyu's face changed greatly, although he had a lot of powerful modern weapons in his hands, he also had nothing to do with this giant machine!
Taking the initiative to fly back to the White City, Xiao Qiuyu said to Aragorn: "It's almost enough now, take the initiative!"
Aragorn thought so, and said, "I plan to do the same, and I must do it before the other party's siege engines are pushed over, otherwise it will be too late."
In the previous battle, Aragorn and Xiao Qiuyu carefully discussed, their plan was to use the walls of the White City and many magical plants to consume as much of the orc army as possible, and wait until the enemy fell into a tired state, and then send the elite T-virus warriors and Rohan Iron Cavalry to charge the enemy, and crush the orc army in one fell swoop.
The first phase of the plan went well, and the orc army really paid heavy casualties under the attack of the magic plant...... Although the Ringwraiths destroyed the catapults on the ramparts, making it impossible to launch the powerful Cherry Bomb and Flame Peppers, they paid a terrible price...... The Ring Spirit Air Force was all slaughtered by Xiao Qiuyu, and even the Witch King of Angmar died at the hands of Estes.
Although except for the Witch King of Angmar, the other Ringwraiths broke through and did not die in the city...... However, the strategic deterrence that the Ring Spirit can exert on the battlefield after losing the flying mount is far less than before, so this kind of forcible one-for-one combat routine has not suffered losses on both sides.
