Chapter 74: Middle-earth in the Wardrobe (5)

The sky is about to dawn, the orc army is ready to move, except for the high-IQ orcs at the level of deputy commanders like Gasmo, these strong orcs do not have much patience, the whole night is very difficult for them, the siege facilities that should have arrived have arrived, and if they don't attack the city, they have to beat their companions to vent the desire for war in their hearts.

It was an equally difficult night for the inhabitants of Minas Tirith, who were overwhelmed by the huge, terrible siege structures, and no one knew what the outcome of the battle would be, or whether they had any hope of survival.

Zhou Yu and they knew what the outcome would be, but unfortunately they could not participate in the war, and fought side by side with Gandalf, Aragorn, the Elven Prince, and the Golden Bolt, and their mission was to assist the Lion King Aslan to protect the White Tree, and the White Witch would come here to defile the White Tree at the height of the war in the White City, and assist the Witch King of Angmar in the siege of the city.

No one knows what kind of ulterior bargain is hidden behind this, and since the White Witch and the Witch King have joined forces, Tolkien will have to fight side by side with the Lion King.

"Will the White Witch fly up? If the Witch King had lent her his fallen beast. Zhou Yu sat at the mouth of the narrow air promenade leading to the White Tree and asked Tolkien.

The narrowness is only relative to Minas Tirith, and the promenade is actually quite wide, but as long as you keep this entrance, the White Witch will not be able to touch the white tree, unless she flies up from the side.

Tolkien and the Lion King glanced at it and nodded, there is indeed such a possibility, the Fallen Beast is very likely to be defeated when it flies above the city of Minas Tirith, but if it is not defeated, the White Witch can come under the tree.

"I'll keep watch." Sabah said and went to the white tree.

"No, I'll go, I can fight the evil magic of the White Witch." The lion king stopped Sabah and walked majestically to the bottom of the tree.

As soon as it was light, the trumpet sounded, and the Battle of the Paliano Plains began.

The orc war began to march towards the city of Minas Tirith, and the trebuchets set up in the city began to operate, and huge stones were smashed into the enemy in a parabola, and the orc soldiers were very close to each other, and each boulder could kill twenty or thirty strong orcs, but the number of strong orcs was too large to affect them.

The Fallen Beasts appeared, and the Ringwraiths rode on their mounts, waiting for an opportunity to swoop down, grab the soldiers on the ramparts and throw them down, or destroy the trebuchets, their cries were terrifying, and fear was the Ringwraith's favorite food, and they slaughtered to their heart's content.

Zhou Yu stood at the edge of the corridor and looked down, and he saw a white figure walking back and forth on the city wall, calming the panicked soldiers, it was the white-robed wizard Gandalf.

As the orc army approached the walls, the siege machine Groundo began to bombard the gates, and the soldiers gathered at the entrance of the lowest city street, ready to meet the orcs who entered the city.

The combined forces outside the city had not yet attacked, they were waiting, if only their forces attacked, they would soon be slaughtered by the orcs, they were waiting for that moment.

The outermost gates were breached, and the Witch King of Angmar entered the city, with its mace in one hand and the sword of Mogul thrown by Zhou Yu in the other, and Gandalf rode his horse to meet him.

Chaos and shouting, the city of Minas Tirith was in chaos, and it would be difficult to take this stepped city, but the orcs had already poured into the first layer and taken the first step.

At this moment, a large amount of smoke and dust rose in the distance.

When Rohan's coalition arrived, the cavalry of King Theudon was tall and pale-skinned, and although the coalition was far less numerous than the orc army, they were not afraid, and after some mobilization, the cavalry launched the first charge.

The first charge killed and wounded, the cavalry repelled the orcs outside the walls, destroyed the siege facilities, and then the second charge.

The coalition forces outside the city finally dispatched when the cavalry attacked, and cooperated with the cavalry to flank the strong orcs, and the battle was very fierce, and there were more and more corpses on the ground, with people, horses, and beasts.

The sun had risen, and the sun had weakened the Ringwraith, but the situation was still very unfavorable for Gondor, the orc army was too numerous, and the human soldiers had fallen a lot.

Just as the cavalry launched the third charge, the Witch King of Angmar attacked King Theodon on his fallen beast, the king's mount was killed, and Heyodon's leg was crushed, and the king's niece Iowin confronted the Witch King, and Merry, a hobbit who fought alongside Iowin, stabbed the Witch King with an enchanted sword, and Iowin stabbed the sword between the Witch King's crown and cloak.

Zhou Yu saw that his blood was boiling, but he was interrupted by a loud lion roar, and when he turned his head, he saw that the white witch had come to the square in front of the corridor.

She had indeed come up on a fallen beast, but the lion king was guarding under the white tree, and there was no way, she couldn't get close to the tree, so she had to come to the square and summon her men.

The White Witch's men, all of whom were Talking Beasts and Black Dwarves, rushed down the corridor as soon as they appeared, and the Black Dwarves were dressed in scary clothes and wearing terrifying masks.

Zhou Yu thought that with Sabah here, the White Witch and her men should be killed soon, and then he could go down to join the battle, but he didn't expect that there would be so many opponents, like a wave hitting their defense.

Tolkien held up his shield again and cast his magic to fight the black dwarf, his skills much quicker than when he first arrived in Middle-earth, and the broadsword in his hand was finally stained with blood.

Sabah is indeed mighty, but he has not transformed into a fire demon, because the White Witch is still summoning, as if a large army has been prepared in Narnia, and he intends to summon it in one go.

Zhou Yu wanted to sneak attack the White Witch, but she stood far away, and there was a beast by her side to protect her, so there was little hope of a successful sneak attack.

The black mamba also participated in the war, it was too small, and if it went out rashly, it was afraid that it would be trampled into snake sauce, so it was just coiled on Zhou Yu's arm and bitten, one bite at a time, and the bite would inevitably be poisoned to death.

But the killing speed was still far from keeping up with the summoning speed, and the square was soon filled with Speech Beasts and Black Dwarves, wave after wave, wave after wave, and several people who protected the white tree were forced to retreat more than ten meters and retreated into the corridor.

As soon as they entered the hallway, they had far fewer enemies to face, and the pressure suddenly subsided, and they steadied themselves and fought to kill them.

But there were too many opponents, and they couldn't kill so many people even if they were exhausted, so Zhou Yu slowly approached Tolkien's side and asked him, "Professor, where are the reinforcements?" ”

He originally called Tolkien an old man, but Tolkien became younger and no longer an old man, so he had to change his name to Professor, and Tolkien had been a professor at Oxford University.

"Wait, wait, soon, it's coming." Tolkien was still smiling, still enjoying the battle, and he was holding a shield that could not be compared to the Ringwraith's attack power, and it was impossible for them to break his shield.

Zhou Yu had no choice but to continue fighting.

The army summoned by the White Witch had already occupied the entire square, she finally stopped, sneered and stood in her army, looking at the Lion King proudly, she had already seen that Zhou Yu's slaughter speed was not as fast as at the beginning, and she still had a large number of subordinates who had not been summoned.

At that moment, a long knife suddenly burst out of her chest, and at the same time, the four black dwarves beside her began to slaughter their companions, and soon a circle was created.

Zhou Yu was taken aback, and when he looked at it, it was a sharp knife.

The White Witch let out a terrible scream and disappeared in place, probably being sent back to her hometown, and as soon as she disappeared, the people she summoned were immediately in chaos.

Piercing the White Witch with the knife was a tall minotaur, holding a slender sword in his hand, and then the minotaur's appearance faded and dissipated, revealing the calm face of Father Crescent.

He immediately began slaughtering the Speakable Beasts beside him.

"So the reinforcements were referring to this." Zhou Yu glanced at Tolkien.

Tolkien smirked and said, "Learn a little, surprise soldiers can win." ”

The White Witch once, the rest only needs to kill these summoned guys, Zhou Yu cared about the battle situation below, and looked back a few times.

In the distance, on the Anduin River, several large black ships appeared, which were the ships of the Ambar pirates, who were allies of Sauron's army.

The orcs cheered, the Giant Elephants had begun to slaughter the human knights, and victory was in sight.

It was not the pirates who could disembark from the pirate ship, but the armies of Aragorn, the elven prince Legolas Greenleaf, the Golden Bolt, the Northern Ranger, and Southern Gondor, as well as the army of the undead led by Aragorn.

The arrival of the army of the undead meant the complete defeat of the army of orcs, these long dead undead were invincible and could not be killed again, and the tide of the war suddenly reversed and turned into a one-sided slaughter.

A slaughter was going on on the plains of Paliano, and the highest rank of Minas Tirith City was the same, without the White Witch, her men were already frightened and vulnerable at all, and they were quickly killed by Zhou Yu and them.

"I didn't expect it to be you." Zhou Yu patted Xinyue on the back, and Xinyue nodded slightly to him.

The companion came again, and the rest were the north wind and the stewed lamb knee, and the new moon and Zhou Yu were alone, so they should stay together, this dream was also less difficult for the two, and there should be no danger.

The four black dwarves who slaughtered their companions were not surprised, and sure enough, Peter, Edmund, Susan, and Lucy were disguised, and they pounced on the lion king, hugged Aslan tightly, and buried their faces in the lion king's mane.

The battle lasted until the afternoon, when all the orcs on the plains of Paliano were annihilated, the sun shone through the clouds, and the battlefield was in shambles.

Aragorn fulfilled his oath and freed the army of the undead.

The people did not celebrate the victory, because so many people died, and Gandalf, Aragorn, and others did not have much time to rest, and discussed the next battle in the palace hall.

And Zhou Yu and the others followed Tolkien, leaving the city of Minas Tirith and heading west, to the valley of Helm.
