1057 reinforcements
Gandalf arrived on the morning of the fifth day, when the entire Rokhanate army arrived at Fort Clarion with civilians in tow. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Because the road was broken, he made several circles to get around. But when he arrived, the entire Fort of Horn was completely surrounded.
When the people of the city saw him, they cheered together. He will certainly play a huge role in stabilizing the morale of the military. The white-robed wizard, his presence represents the power of justice and mystery.
But this powerful feeling didn't last long.
When the overwhelming army of orcs appeared, all the people saw what it means to be a real sea of people.
The army of Modo is completely different from Saruman's. He has a much more diverse and full range of engineering weapons.
Battering rams, catapults, and manned siege towers were much more specialized than the Saruman army, which could only climb the walls with ladders.
When the war began, huge stones thrown from the huge catapults of the high standing catapults from the sea of enemy troops rained like raindrops.
The Horn Fort is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the city walls are known as difficult to attack. But at this time, when the huge stones hit the city wall, there were several soldiers on the city wall who were screaming and flying out.
The trebuchets on the city walls have been returned to color. All kinds of stones flew around in the sky.
Siege.
Dozens of siege towers as tall as the city walls, propelled by tall ogres, approached the outer walls of Fort Clarion under the cover of catapults.
There were people on the walls shouting, "Siege towers!! ”
"Shoot those trolls!" "The tall monsters were hiding behind the siege towers, and most of the arrows were shot at the siege towers. But the soldiers on the walls on the left and right sides fired, and they couldn't dodge, and soon the ogres were full of arrows, and from time to time some ogres fell to the ground. But the huge siege tower was eventually pushed to the edge of the city wall by them.
When the rusty iron bridge over the tower reached the wall, hordes of orc soldiers rushed out screaming and waving their knives.
The Rokhanate soldiers in metal armor immediately fought with the hundreds of soldiers who rushed out, and from time to time some people screamed and fell off the tower.
In the sky, five fallen demon beasts carrying ring spirits roared from the sky.
These flying guys have razor-sharp claws. From time to time, they rushed down to destroy the large catapults and the rows of archers on the ramparts. From time to time, several people were arrested and thrown out screaming.
From time to time, these fallen demon beasts gliding through the sky let out screams from time to time, causing the defending soldiers below to flee in fear.
Human resistance is weakening.
Commanders such as Gandalf, Ushiton, and Oymer are constantly trying to command the battle, "Don't be harassed by those things. Pluck up the courage to beat them down!! ”
Aragorn, the dwarves, and the elven princes led their soldiers in various places in a desperate attempt to stop the enemy.
At this time, on the ground, another enemy shouted loudly and pushed a huge battering ram towards the city wall.
This battering ram was so huge that it would take three or four ogres to push the previous battering tower. And this huge battering ram actually used at least twenty ogres.
King Eusedon, who was fighting on the walls, turned pale at the sight of such a thing. The reason why Hornfort is easy to defend and difficult to attack is that it has the strongest gates.
The huge battering ram was clearly aimed at this gate.
"Grande! Grande! Grund...... "The ogres chasing by these pushing workers are shouting this slogan.
Sauron's former boss, the Giant Hammer of Morzeth, was called Grond, and the Noldor Elven King Finguo was killed by this weapon. When it was pushed out, the faces of all the defenders widened, and even Gandalf's face changed drastically, "Go down and guard the gates!" Archers shoot arrows at them!! ”
At this time, the offensive on the city wall became more and more urgent, and the enemy was constantly pouring up from the siege tower.
The huge siege chase below was pushed to the city gate, and half of the two dozen ogres were dead. The living ogres were also full of arrows. But the dense number of arrows did not stop the battering rams.
The huge battering ram of Glund was pushed to the city gates, and it seemed that everything was doomed.
Together, a dozen ogres pulled up the huge flaming battering ram with thick ropes. When it hits the gates, boom! The whole castle seemed to be shaking.
Anyone can tell that the gates of this city will not last long.
Eusidon shouted, "Go down and guard the gates immediately!" Gandalf reacted the same way as him, "Go and guard the gates!" ”
Aragorn and the others also saw the situation at this time, and Aragorn glanced back at the way to the city gate, "Let's take the nearest road to the gate!" ”
The army of orcs outside the city was shouting excitedly. There are enemies on the city walls, and fallen monsters are attacking in the sky.
The gates of the city were about to be breached. Everything is more brutal than imagined.
Amid the flying boulders of catapults, King Eucidon already knew that it was time for the matter to come to an end, and he commanded in a deep voice, "Prepare for the final battle at the gates." ”
Everyone's faces showed a final decision, and some even sobbed quietly.
But while everyone was waiting for the last moment, the sound of the siege outside the gate suddenly stopped.
In the hole where the gate was knocked out, only the cold wind blew in.
Eussidon looked up at the soldiers on the heights, "What's wrong?" ”
The one looked up into the distance and said, "Your Majesty, the enemy has retreated for the time being......"
This is a situation that puzzles everyone. Everyone, including Gandalf, Aragorn, looked at each other.
King Ushiton, "Retreat?" Why? ”
The lookout, "Because a strange army is coming." Appears on the periphery of the enemy. ”
"Periphery? How can it be! King Eusidon, "Let's go up and have a look...... "He had little idea that any reinforcements would appear.
……
At the end of the day, Fu Hao finally arrived.
Fu Hao had set off since the morning of that day. The Valley of the Holy Helmet was less than fifty miles away from Fu Hao's Isenghe. He had thought he had come too early. After all, in his mind, how could the famous Horn Fort last for half a day.
Who would have thought that it would be like this in just over an hour.
Fu Hao was a little lucky, "Fortunately, I was worried about an accident, so I advanced a little earlier." "It does look like something was going wrong. I didn't expect Mordor's siege force to be so powerful.
Fu Hao's men and horses were 26,000. All the soldiers wore the paladin armor specially designed by Fu Hao, the so-called helmet bright armor. Twenty-six thousand men and horses, dressed in armor, made the whole valley seem to light up. (To be continued.) )
