156 Siege
The army densely covered on the plains marched at an even speed towards the west, and a large number of scouts spread out in front of the army like industrious worker ants, and quickly returned to report at the slightest movement.
In the ranks of archers at the rear of the army, three horses rode side by side.
"Shimrin has a wide field of vision, so we have no other way but to take it."
The red-haired Mezlos in the center said to Charles, who was riding beside him.
"So it's a war that's destined to be brutal."
"But today doesn't seem like a good day to go on the offensive." Charles's words meant something.
The footsteps on both sides were like a neat military music, and there were soldiers all on the front and back, left and right, and as far as the eye could see, the endless group of spears was like countless black spikes growing on the surface of the earth, threatening to stab any enemy who resisted it.
However, despite the sheer size of the 12,000 troops, the fog that was gradually rising around them made Charles have many doubts about whether the elven army's trip would go smoothly.
The fog grew larger the further it moved in the direction of Himrin, and the visibility became more and more blurred.
"We can't avoid this, unless Morgoth happens to take a nap." Before Mezlos could answer, the black-haired elf on the other side took over.
That's Kurufen.
Although Charles didn't like him. But at this time, the other party wanted to repair the relationship with him very much, so that there was no shortage of stubbles along the way.
It wasn't that he was repentant or anything, but that Charles was now well-known among the Mezlos army and among his brothers.
The main reason is naturally what he has done, and secondly, his mysterious and unique ability.
"Despite his sneaky behavior and the fact that he is not as powerful as before, he has not completely lost some of the means he once used to be Vera, and this fog can rise whenever he wants, and we can't avoid it."
Mezlos's voice followed.
"In the battle where Simrin was captured, he had a similar ability."
This was strange to Charles, as he had never known about it before.
"What exactly?"
"The survivors don't know the details because they're not guarding the outer walls."
Mezlos replied: "But it must be very powerful, which is why Simrin was broken so quickly, otherwise even if the enemy army is strong, it is impossible for our army to be defeated without supporting us." ”
Charles frowned when he heard this, but Mezlos smiled when he saw this:
"However, there is no need to worry too much about this, although it is difficult for the enemy to use this method at this time, it is impossible for him to use it casually, and he is even destined to pay a certain price for it. Otherwise, if he can use it casually, we have no hope of confronting it at all. ”
Charles nodded, catching a glimpse of a group of figures galloping past on a bighorn deer to the left of the archers' army.
The mounts of his escort were bighorn deer, but the total number was not comparable to the size of the army of the lord named Calanhill.
That's right, the army, although the total number is not much, but there are several hundred.
At this time, it was not only Kurufen who accompanied the army, but also Mezlos's fourth brother, Karanhill.
From the eastern border, where Mount Rayleil was his domain, he followed him, mainly scouting the area around the army.
In addition, Charles had met Mazlos's second brother, Maglor, but he was stationed at the base camp at this time and did not follow.
As she continued to move forward, Simrin's shadow gradually passed on the horizon, and because of the fog around her, the visibility was not very good at this time, so the distance was already very close.
So after a pause at the border and a short rest, the elven army, which had long been ready to attack, officially began to attack the city!
A melodious and dull trumpet reverberated all around, and the wind rose suddenly, and the clouds and mist swirled around the entire area, staining the surface of the sharp-handled metal weapon with a layer of mist.
The shouting of killing shook the sky, and the elf army all over the mountains gradually surrounded Sim Rin like an isolated island in the ocean from three directions, and this process was accompanied by the continuous attack of the enemy's catapults and a large number of arrows, and the elves were killed and injured a lot for a while, but the whole was not affected.
The huge cloud tower is constantly moving among the army, and countless elven soldiers are hidden in it.
The enemy began to unleash flaming arrows, and for a moment the orange-red light continued to streak through the sky like a meteor swarm, and swooped down towards the black-pressed army below!
The sound of a strong shield being struck in a certain area of the army with a crackling sound was accompanied by many screams.
The soldiers rushed through the sky, and finally climbed the high hill to reach the city wall, where ladders were gradually erected, and not only that, Charles had previously given the Mezlos army some razor-sharp daggers.
As a result, the city wall itself was unusually strong and constantly poked out of the gaps, relying on the dexterous body of the elves, hundreds of soldiers clenched their daggers with both hands under the cover of the ladder, and climbed up towards the top of the city wall with agility!
It's just that as the besieging side, although they are well prepared, they are completely passive.
Mass deaths are inevitable.
Under the fierce attack, screams and shouts of killing were incessant, and the ant-like attack continued, and the battlefield was as hot as a boiling oil pot, and the Charr's creation came in handy.
Pushed by many tall Noldor soldiers, the battering ram, which was still very heavy despite being attached to the light spirit secret text, gradually advanced slowly towards the city gate.
There were a large number of shield-raising soldiers on both sides as cover, and the battering ram itself was also very strong, plus other siege equipment was attracting the attention of a large number of enemy troops, so gradually, this battering ram arrived in front of the city gate without much loss.
Immediately after, a thunderous and earth-shattering loud bang rang out violently!
The sturdy gate shook violently, and a group of trolls supporting it inside the fortress were caught off guard by the shaking and staggered back.
A large amount of lime-like dust fell off, and the strong sound that was close at hand also had a strong effect, and the ears of nearby enemy troops buzzed and no other sound could be heard.
However, before the group of trolls could react, another loud noise appeared again!
Boom ——!
The sound of thunder echoed throughout the castle, and the violent sound of the clouds and mist attracted the attention of countless enemies, even if they were concentrating on defending them.
The sound was so harsh that many enemy soldiers couldn't help but guess that the gate didn't seem to last long.
And that's exactly what happened.
Under the roar and vibration one after another, the strong city gate itself became more and more unstable, and finally after the seventh loud bang, the gate of Simrin was completely smashed from the outside!
The many ogres at the gates couldn't help but panic and flee to avoid the metal storm that was destined to rush in.
However, just as they retreated, a furious hoarse roar appeared, and a large brownish-green figure rushed from a short distance after the gate was broken, and at the same time the neck was raised and the blood basin mouth bloomed brightly.
The next moment, a large number of raging flames burned away!
As soon as the overwhelming fire appeared, it directly killed and injured a large number of elven soldiers who couldn't wait to rush in, and the many figures who were screaming and running around with burning flames all over their bodies, watched the corners of the eyes of Mezlos, who was supervising the battle in the rear, couldn't stop jumping.
However, at this moment, he suddenly realized that he had lost the figure of Carnier beside him!
