Chapter Ninety-Two: The Dragon's Groan Resounded on the Battlefield
The darkness that fell covered the entire sky, and black smoke billowed from the entire west.
In the looming doomsday volcano, there is a terrifying chant accompanied by magma erupting, and the oppressive breath is even more overwhelming.
"What's going on?"
Just as the darkness swallowed up the light, a group of people heading towards Gondor slowly stopped with a question.
Banners were unfurled in the stopped procession, and thousands of knights sat on horses, each wearing a crimson cloak behind him.
Thousands of knights were stubborn and stubborn, bowing their heads slightly to the black carriage in the middle of the team, this was Zhang Yao and his party who came all the way from the Rising Sun Empire.
It had been three days since he left the Imperial City of the Rising Sun, and he had already walked most of the eight hundred miles from Gondor. And as we got closer and closer to Gondor, the smell of the storm became more and more intense, as if the air was full of oppression.
"Your Majesty, there is a powerful presence in Modo that is casting spells, and the power of darkness is approaching Gondor!" The smoky Hedram flew around the carriage, staring at the looming Doomsday Volcano and slowly speaking.
"Click!"
With Hedlam's words, the black carriage was gently pushed away by a pair of hands with golden rings.
After pushing open the door of the carriage, Zhang Yao, dressed in a black suit, slowly walked out of the carriage and looked up at the west, which had been ruled by darkness.
"This Sauron is really wasteful, he hasn't taken Gondor for so long!" Zhang Yao looked at the direction of Modo and shook his head slightly, observed for a while and then walked into the carriage.
"Leave them alone, keep going!"
Zhang Yao's words came out of the closed car door, and the whole team embarked on the journey again, heading towards Gondor in a mighty way.
The procession of thousands of men continued in the darkness, and all the warriors were not interested in the pomp and circumstance of the West, only the sound of neat horses' hooves was the only rhythm.
"Collapse Collapse"
"Bunkers, all hide in bunkers, archers ready!"
Unlike Zhang Yao and his party, the city of Osgilias, two hundred miles away, has been sounded the horn of war at this moment.
The core area of Gondor is a regular triangle, a river called the Anduin River, which flows down from both sides of this triangle. Under the protection of the Anduin River, the entire city of Gondor is surrounded by this river, and anyone who wants to enter the city has only one option, and that is through a fortress built on the Anduin River Triangle, the city of Osgilias.
In the triangular river, the city of Osgillias was like a sharp spear, blocking Sauron's prying eyes and Mordo's ambitions.
Mordor's first task to capture Gondor was to capture the city. And if Gondor wants to develop outward, holding the city in his hands has also become an indispensable and necessary element.
The Meat Grinder of Ogilias, the same name given to the Orcs of Mordor in Gondor.
Countless battles are fought here every month, and the entire fortress is full of traces of fierce battles. If this is a hell for humans and orcs, then the crow, as a scavenger, can be called a house full of children and grandchildren.
"Archers ready to fire their arrows!"
Long arrows rained down from the sky, like locusts crossing the border, and instantly cleared the half-orc phalanx under the city wall into an empty area.
The army of orcs outside the city walls was as boundless as an ocean, and the area cleared by bows and arrows was filled in an instant, and once again formed a phalanx and advanced towards Osgilias.
Along the way, countless orcs fell to the ground with arrows, and from the one hundred and fifty steps of the bow and arrow, each step represented death.
The road to death is so long, all the orc warriors are holding their weapons high and roaring forward, and every orc warrior with a shield has become a savior.
"The shield-bearer is in the way, and no one is allowed to retreat. Bows and arrows, our bows and arrows! Shoot, hurry up and shoot me back. ”
The half-blind commander of the Orc Legion roared loudly, and under his command, hordes of orc archers marched forward, under the protection of the shield-wielding orcs, and kept firing at the gondol archers on the wall.
The archers standing on the walls descended from above, and the force of the arrows was enough to pierce two or three people. Many orcs are protected by iron shields, and they are still inevitably shot through, and there are two half-orcs who are too close to each other, and there is a string of sugar gourds in one arrow.
"Use tide tactics to drown them!"
The loss of the orc warriors did not allow the commander to order a retreat, and the half-orc commander, who was blind in one eye, constantly gave orders to charge.
An endless stream of people poured forward, and in the onslaught of the orcs, many Gondor warriors were shot one after another, falling straight from the walls like dumplings.
The Gondor archers on the walls of the city stood up to resist, but the orc archers were outnumbered, despite their modest numbers. In the charge of several times the number of people, arrows rained down all over the sky, and dense arrows fell like raindrops, and the difference between victory and defeat became unclear again.
"Boom, boom!"
Just as the orcs relied on the difference in numbers to suppress the gondor archers and almost broke through the city, a burst of fire suddenly appeared in the sky.
One by one, the trebuchets that had been shelved in the city began to roar, and countless meteorite-like burning fireballs fell from the sky with a roar.
The huge fireballs are burning boulders, and the main lethality of these boulders is not falling from the sky, but rolling forward the moment they hit the ground, crushing all the bastards who don't have long eyes along the way.
Countless orcs who didn't have time to dodge were crushed into meat sauce, and there were so many orcs outside the city that they didn't even need these big guys to aim at the target, and they could cut the fire at will.
"Buzz!"
As the trebuchet fired, the Orc's secret weapon began to roar.
This is a siege ladder more than ten meters high, each siege ladder has a crossbow machine, pulled by two six- or seven-meter-high cyclops, desperately towards the city wall.
Dozens of archers on the siege ladder began to return fire, while the orc engineers, also controlling crossbow arrows made of logs, began to shoot with a roar.
The bolts were powerful enough to break through cover, and many of its targets were doomed even if they were hiding behind the walls. Many of the weak city heads were blasted by the ballistas, and if there were human soldiers hiding behind them, they would also be reduced to a pile of minced flesh with the bursting walls.
The archers retreated and fired, and the spearmen and shield men stepped forward to prepare. The catapult cancels the scatter and starts shooting accurately, targeting the enemy's siege ladder! "In Osgilias, Boromo, as the supreme general, was dressed in black armor and blurted out one order after another.
Boromo shouted loudly, he should have died in the Guardians of the Ring, but because of Zhang Yao's strong arrival, he was not sent by Gondor to the Guardians of the Ring, and he is still active on the battlefield.
Boromo is a natural general, and with his guardian Osgilias, he has repelled many orc attacks. Even Sauron sent the Knights of the Rings to behead him, but they couldn't take his life.
"Hold on, this time Modo is attacking the city during the day, as long as we can hold out for three hours, Sauron won't be able to block the sun! Don't be afraid, orcs are not to be feared, your generals are here, Gondor is with us! "Boromo did not choose to fight, but kept walking around the walls and shouting.
At this moment, Boromo is not a hero but is better than a hero, all the soldiers who heard Boromo's shout were demoralized, and Boromo, as a general, was sticking to the city wall at this moment, and this everyone brought confidence.
"Kill, kill all these bastards! Let's take a look at our generals and see how we fought off the orcs! ”
"Long live Gondor, we're going to kick the orc's ass!"
As Boromo boosted his morale, the soldiers erupted in earth-shattering cheers one by one.
Soldiers are not afraid of death, and will not be afraid of death. In this moment, the whole of Osgillias turned into a whole, and the infinite fighting spirit shrouded everyone's heart.
"Where are our catapults, I'm going to raze this city to the ground!"
The orc commander also heard the roar on the ramparts, but it seemed to him to be a dying struggle.
The army of Mordor is constantly flowing under the power of Sauron, and no matter how strong the city in front of him is, it will be breached sooner or later.
Although each attack was repulsed, the orc commander was confident that he would succeed. Because in the siege of the city again and again, even this fortress is strong, but it will also crumble with the passage of time.
"Aang!"
Just as the commander of the orcs looked at Osgillias in front of him with a grim smile on his face, a dragon groan suddenly remembered in the sky.
The moment the dragon's chant sounded, it directly overpowered the shouts on the battlefield.
Countless warriors listened to the dragon roar in their ears, whether they were orcs or Gondor soldiers, they all looked at the sky in unison.
