Chapter 16: The Lord of the Rings Before the War
To be honest, the report of this scene was not favored among the reincarnators, and it was only implemented that the argument of "there is nothing to lose if you fail" was implemented, which can be said to be an idle move. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
But no one expected that this idle move would be a surprising success in the end, although I don't know how much Sauron believed this unsubstantiated speculation, or out of trust in the "Covenant"? Or is it just because "it's a possibility, so it's safer?" ”
In short, Sauron issued a new order against the Umbar pirates.
They were ordered to immediately launch an attack on the coast of Gondor, rush to Minas Tirith, and cooperate with the main force to quickly break through the capital of Gondor.
As for the messengers, under the strong request of those high-level reincarnations, Sauron didn't know what kind of mentality he had actually handed over such an important communication task to the reincarnators.
But there is really no need to worry, they still had a sense of crisis at that time, and under the "incentive" of the "incentive" of the failure of the mission and the obliteration of all members, the efficiency of the reincarnators who were 6,000 or scattered was unprecedentedly strong.
On the same day, the reincarnation selected 30 riders from the original world, and they rode the war horses given by Sauron, and went non-stop to deliver the news.
Of course, although the above two plans are very feasible and can bring great advantages once successful, this kind of plan can only be regarded as a trick after all, and the reason why the reincarnators have become so arrogant is naturally not this, but the conclusion reached after careful analysis and the test of actual combat a few days ago.
The 5,000 reincarnators armed with guns can play a huge role on this battlefield, and can even turn this originally suspenseful war into a crushing battle.
In the face of an automatic rifle, physical fitness? Superb archery? Powerful archery? None of this is meaningless, and once a war starts, the defenders who possess them will only be abused.
It can be said that as long as the strength is not strong to a certain extent, hot weapons will always be much better and stronger than cold weapons.
In the face of these reincarnators with sharp weapons, the defenders stand on the city wall to defend or something, and can only be used as a target to fight, in the face of this situation, in fact, the best way is to retreat into the city and rely on their familiarity with the city to fight street battles.
If the attacking enemy only has 5,000 reincarnations, this move may be able to repel them, but the main force of this attack is not the reincarnation, but the army of 100,000 Modo, put in to fight in the streets? Hehe.
In this way, the army on Gondor's side can be said to have fallen into a dead end, defending the city will lose, street battles will also be lost, not to mention any initiative to attack, it is completely suicide, it can be said that no matter which option Gondor chooses, it is dead.
And with the huge advantage of hot weapons over cold weapons, reinforcements are meaningless, even if the Gondor side chooses the most troublesome street battle, with those orcs and trolls, the battle can be solved in half a day at most.
Neither the enemy nor our reinforcements will be too late in this battle, and even if they come here, they will only see a ravaged ruin.
Therefore, if you take 10,000 steps back, even if the ambush of the reincarnators is not successful, no matter how powerful the ghost army of Aragon is, they will not be able to catch up with this battle no matter what.
It's like, I can't think of how to win? Therefore, in the hearts of the reincarnators, the current situation is basically "won" and "must win", and it is precisely with this idea that everyone will be so careless about the siege of Minas Tirith.
…………
At this time, Minas Tirith, after the remnants of Osgillias entered the city, the news of Sauron's army attacking spread, and the whole city was thrown into chaos for a time.
The price of all kinds of grain has skyrocketed, no one sells weapons or anything at all, people who have weapons hide them well, people want to flee the war with their families, and all kinds of robberies and murders have emerged one after another.
However, Dinethor II, who ruled the city, was not slow to react, and he directly dispatched the army to control the city, ensuring that there were always soldiers patrolling every street day and night, and that if a crime was discovered, it was allowed to be killed on the spot.
He forced grain merchants to sell grain at a parity price, urgently recruited militia-trained men and young men, lit beacons to call for help, and evacuated non-combatants from the city as much as possible.
I have to say that the decades of reign and prestige of Dinethor II are really not to be underestimated, the city was still in chaos, and because of the rendering of this atmosphere, even the soldiers were a little panicked.
But he gave a few orders, and the city immediately became orderly, and the soldiers found their way.
In the days that followed, reinforcements were sent from all over Gondor to Minas Tirith to support, and as the reinforcements entered the city, the people did not seem to be afraid, and everything seemed to be going for the better, but things were not so simple.
In the top of the palace, the regent of Gondor, Dinethor II, sat on his throne, his head bowed, a captured automatic rifle lying across his lap in silence.
At this moment, the gate of the palace slowly opened, and the wizard Gandalf, dressed in a white robe and carrying his staff, walked in, came to Dinethor II, but looked at him, or rather, at the gun on his lap, and slowly spoke: "Lord Dinethor, do you have anything to say about this weapon?" Are there any arrangements? ”
Hearing this, Dinethor II, who was sitting on the throne, raised his head and looked at Gandalf and said in a deep voice: "Is it possible that I am incompetent in your eyes, and that you think I am blind!" ”
After saying this, he looked down at the weapon again, and said in a solemn tone: "This weapon called the "gun" has a maximum range of incredibly hundreds of steps, and it can even penetrate iron armor within a hundred steps! What's even more terrifying is that it can shoot continuously! ”
"Once this weapon is used on a large scale on the battlefield, our army, no, no army in this world is no match for them."
"If you want to win this battle, you have to avoid going head-to-head with them."
Hearing this, Gandalf couldn't help but speak; "Lord Denessor, do you want to fight in the streets? IMHO, street fighting is just ......"
However, as soon as he began to speak, he was interrupted by Dinethor II: "Gandalf, you always think you are clever, but you have underestimated me so much! ”
"Who do you think I am? I am Dinethor II, son of Exirion, vizier and regent of Gondor! ”
"Just a white-robed wizard! You think you can see through everything?! ”
After saying this, before Gandalf could speak again, Dinethor II was gone.
