"Attack! Offensive! Tear that group of humans to shreds! "At the foot of the walls of the White City, an elite orc is directing the orcs to erect a tall siege ladder, and these orcs are under the heavy care of the human defenders on the first layer of the city wall in the process.

Fist-sized stones were thrown from the walls by the soldiers on the first floor, and the orcs who looked up with their heads up were broken by the gifts that fell from the sky, but many more orcs managed to build siege ladders on the first floor of the wall, but the orcs soon found that the tall walls required more time and energy for them to climb slowly.

"A layer of walls needs support, Okov, and let your men prepare." Hu Bin saw that there were already sporadic orcs on the first floor of the city and fought with the defenders there, he knew that it would be lost in the face of the orc attack sooner or later, but not now, Hu Bin needed a layer of city walls to delay the orcs for more time.

"Prepare for the projectile, target below the city wall, shoot!" Following Hu Bin's order, the rangers fired a slightly sparse rain of arrows, but the support from the rear shocked the defenders on the first floor of the city.

Seeing that the landing point of the arrow rain was very accurate, Hu Bin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, because such a high-angle projectile was very dangerous, and if the archer's skills were not very exquisite, it was easy to accidentally injure his own people.

Advanced archery, this is where Hu Bin trusts these rangers, as the top class of Gondor archers, their archery skills are already comparable to the elven archers, and the rangers who are good at using poison by unscrupulous means are obviously more dangerous.

"Be careful!" The defenders on the section of the city wall supported by Hu Bin had just gained some respite, but then the stones smashed them, and the head of the city was directly blasted out of a gap by a powerful blow. And the soldiers in the vicinity suffered heavy casualties.

The trebuchets behind the orcs were finally adjusted, and their accuracy began to improve, and they focused on the first section of the wall, and the siege towers, which were more threatening to the defenders on the wall, were slowly approaching the White City, which made the White City's trebuchets have to focus on them.

After Hu Bin shot an arrow, he quickly stretched out his hand to the quiver on his back again, but unfortunately after groping twice, he found that the quiver had been shot empty by himself. Feeling the soreness in his shoulders gradually sweeping over him, Hu Bin put down the elf bow with some pity for a short rest. In less than ten minutes. He had already shot several pots of arrows, and although the others were not as fast as he was, the cost of arrows was still staggering.

The underside of the walls has been covered with orc corpses, but the number of orcs is still not decreasing. The defenders on the first floor had called for reinforcements several times, and the few reserves had been sent up, but this still could not stop the enemy's steady onslaught.

The addition of the siege tower brought great pressure to the defenders of the city, and the moment the gate was lowered. Led by a few elite orcs, the orc squadron on the tower immediately broke up the shield wall composed of defending humans, and then completed the suppression of that section of the wall amid a scream.

However, the orcs did not have a good time for long. Their advance was stopped by the archers of the upper city walls, and when they landed at the head of the city, they were naked in the eyes of the Hu Bin numberers, and the sudden increase in the speed of fire also showed that the other numberers did not miss this opportunity.

"Boom!" A roar came from the main gate of the White City, and the battering ram carried by the orcs came to the huge main gate of the White City, trying to blast open the gate with great effort. The gate shook violently, but nothing happened except for the dust that was thrown to the ground, and if the orcs could see the situation behind the gate, I believe they would not have attacked it so hard.

Of course, the White City side knew the importance of the city gate, so they simply blocked it with sandbags and stones, sealed it with wooden planks at the back, and then used tree trunks to resist it. Even if the fortified gates were to be pierced, the orcs would have struggled to find a pile of debris waiting to be cleaned up behind them.

A vat of hot asphalt was poured down by the soldiers, and a terrible scream immediately rang out from beneath the walls, followed by a rocket that ignited the asphalt, and the scorching tongues of fire devoured the struggling enemies, a tragedy that told the orcs that it was not a good task to stand under the gates and crash into them.

After the orcs wielding the battering ram were wiped out several times, the orc commander received news from the front that the main gate of the White City was really difficult to penetrate, and the siege troops had already paid a great casualty for it.

"Send Doragon up!" The orc commander roared angrily, followed by the sound of whips whipping flesh, and eight strong trolls, spurred on by the orc soldiers, slowly approached the main entrance of the White City with a huge war machine.

"Doragon! Doragon! ......" The orc soldiers in the vicinity shouted slogans feverishly when they saw the machine, as if the machine had given them a lot of courage.

"Reed, over there!" Ta Dun suddenly shouted not far away, while Hu Bin gave up the enemy he had just aimed at and turned his head in the direction of the city gate, and then saw an amazing scene.

The trebuchet on the White City side had already noticed the big guy on the battlefield, and a precise stone bullet hit the machine, but what everyone didn't expect was that. The impact of the stone bullet only wiped off the curtain that covered the machine, and the machine was not damaged in the slightest, but revealed its true nature.

The shelf made of pure steel stood high on the sturdy chassis, and a thick iron pestle was hung from the shelf by countless chains, and the front end of the iron pestle was made to look like the head of the evil dragon, and the dragon's mouth was dancing with raging flames, and it was eyeing the gates of the White City.

The successive stone projectiles did not have any real impact on Doragon, except for a few scratches on the steel shelves, but instead boosted the morale of the orcs, and they followed behind Doragon. Shouted neat slogans and pushed forward.

"Attack the trolls pulling carts!" Hu Bin hurriedly shouted when he saw the giant siege vehicle coming into his range, and the soldiers who were a little helpless also reacted and began to concentrate their fire on the trolls.

However, the orcs had the foresight to put heavy iron armor on the trolls who were pulling the carts, so that they still did not receive much damage in the rain of arrows, but the trebuchet that had been reminded suddenly became powerful, and a shot that just grazed the wall and fell to the trolls pulling the carts, almost injuring their own people. And such an adventure also paid off with great results, as two trolls were smashed on their heads by stones. Falling to the ground and unable to struggle again, the orc engineers who expected this situation immediately untied the shackles and chains tied to the two trolls, causing "Doragon" to slow down a little, but still firmly advancing towards the city gate.

Finally. Under the expectant gaze of many orcs, "Doragon" slowly landed on the city gate, and the human soldiers guarding the city gate poured a can of asphalt at the right time, and then added a hideous flame cloak to "Doragon".

The guards on the castle tower also wanted to make a difference. But a flying stone projectile smashed the entire tower into ruins, and with the sound of rubble hitting the steel frame, the sledgehammer of "Doragon" was slowly raised by the orcs with chains. Finally, it fell back violently in a cheer.

The sound of the crash echoed the entire city wall, and the nearby human soldiers were knocked to the ground by the loud bang, and the shock caused by the battering ram even shook the siege ladder next to it, causing the orc soldiers above to fall down with a scream.

One blow, just one blow, left a noticeable depression in the gate, and several deadbolts behind the gate let out a terrible groan, and even the stones and sandbags piled up behind them collapsed.

The Lord Regent stood at the top of the sixth-story city and looked from afar, and saw that the orcs had begun to pull the great battering ram again, and the defenders on the walls had nothing to do.

"Ordered the soldiers there to retreat, the main gate has been lost!" The Regent's voice was a little impatient, the first layer of defense that he had been looking forward to was breached by the orcs in less than an hour, and there was no news of Rohan's reinforcements.

"Your Majesty! The city on the south side of the first floor has been infiltrated by orcs, and we have just sealed the gate to the second floor! An old man who looked like a senior general said helplessly.

When the regent heard the news, his lips pursed tightly, and he understood that the fifteen hundred warriors on the first layer of defense had no way to retreat, and they had no choice but to fight to the death.

"Tell the person in charge of the front line about the news, and I'm going to let them know the current situation." The Regent was silent for a moment before speaking, and the herald hurriedly retreated after glancing at the general who had spoken earlier.

"General, orders from the Regent!" The guard handed a note to a general on the first floor of the city wall, who thrust his blood-stained sword back into his waist, took the note, unfolded it and read it quickly, and then looked in the direction of the second floor gate.

After a few moments, the general withdrew his gaze, and the note in his hand was crumpled into a ball.

"Everybody come with me!"

"Doragon! Doragon! …… Roar~! With the cheers of the orcs, the city gate, which had been bombarded to a pulp, was finally breached, and the long-twisted door shaft could no longer bear the force and broke, and the two door panels fell to the ground, killing several hapless orc soldiers.

"Rush ......" An orc elite was about to shout the order to charge, but the sight in the doorway made him hold back the rest of his words.

"What are you waiting for, let me go up and move these stones, quick!" The orc elite reacted and went out of the ground in anger, punching and kicking the soldiers to clear the city gates.

"Also, call those mercenaries. Tell them that the gates have been breached, and that it's time for them to help. ”

"Line up! Lined up! A captain of the Gondor guard shouted in a slightly alarmed tone, and groups of soldiers formed a phalanx at the gates of the city as he ordered.

A muffled thud came from the hole in the gate, and the orcs lifted the battering ram that they had abandoned aside, and slammed down the stone and sandbag barrier.

"General!" The captain returned to the previous general's body to report, but the general didn't seem to hear it, and looked ahead without the slightest reaction.

"General, this place is almost unfortunate, please give an order!" The captain said again with some anxiety.

The general came back to his senses and saw his soldiers looking at him. The panic and fear in their eyes shook his heart, but after a moment the general was convinced.

"I don't have any orders for you!"

There was another muffled sound, and a large amount of sand began to slide through the cracks of the broken planks, and even the ugly and hideous faces of the orcs could be seen through the cracks. The soldiers looked uneasily at the doorway, holding back their shaking legs and involuntarily clenching their weapons in their hands.

"All I can do is fight and die here with you!" The general drew his sword and held it up in front of his chest.

"Hold your posts, trust your companions, and destroy any enemies who rush in."

All the obstruction at the main entrance was lifted by a large figure. A heavily armed trolls roared and rushed in, followed by several other trolls and a flood of orc soldiers.

"For Gondor!" As if to drive all the fears out of their hearts with this roar, the human soldiers charged the enemy without hesitation.

The rampaging trolls led the hordes of orcs forward quickly, and the meteor hammers in their hands swung constantly to destroy obstacles in their path. The Gondor defenders who tried to resist in Europe were smashed down along with the obstacles, and blood soon filled the square on the first floor

Hu Bin watched as the group of soldiers was quickly annihilated by the surging tide of orcs, and shot the arrows in his hands weakly, and the square on the first floor had been completely lost. He had already lost nearly a third of his manpower, and if it weren't for the corpses outside the city still there to remind Hu Bin, he would even have the illusion that the number of orcs had never decreased.

"Reed. Hebrew they are already preparing to transfer, we are not going with them! Tadun asked, somewhat impatiently, while Hebrew was looking at Tadun not far away.

Hu Bin glanced at the trolls that were wreaking havoc below, and then shot an arrow at them fiercely. He knew that with the influx of orcs into the city, it would be difficult for the numbered troops who lacked a shooting angle to do anything here, and if they forced their heads out to shoot, they could easily be targeted by orc crossbowmen. Hu Bin's second wall was only built to support the first wall, and it was not suitable for defense, so there was nothing wrong with the plan of Hebrew and others to move to the third floor. But......

"Are you sure you just let those guys in!" Hu Bin pointed to the group of enemies under the city and shouted to the Hebrews.

"It's no longer suitable for ......, damn it, everyone go back to your positions and shoot at the enemy in that direction, no matter the cost!" Hebrew subconsciously glanced under the city wall, and then called the man back in a rage.

A group of clad and armored humans mingled in the torrent of orcs, although it was not very inconspicuous, but the Hebrews recognized them at a glance, who else could this group of people be other than the numbered ones of the opposing faction. The Hebrews knew what the consequences would be if they were left alone, they could do more damage than a dozen orc soldiers, and if the numberers of the Gondor camp did not want the three-story gates to fall quickly, they would have to snipe at the enemy numberers here for as long as they could.

"You guys do a good job, I'll go first!" Hu Bin then withdrew from the city wall with Ta Dun and Lin and their soldiers with a depressed expression on Hebrew's face. , and their vacated spot was then taken over by the almost frenzied Gondor-numberers, for whom the temptation to kill a rival faction's numberer was great.

"Shall we just go, won't we join the Hebrews in sniping at the hostile numberers?" On the way to the third floor, Ta Dun finally couldn't help but ask.

"How can there be such a cheap thing, if we don't hurry, wait for the gate on the second floor to be blasted open by that group of trolls, maybe the soldiers on the third floor will close the gate, at that time it will be difficult to retreat, and if you don't get it, you will have all the troops." Hu Bin said with a deep face.

"Then why don't you give Hebrew a warning?" This time, it was actually Lin who was speaking.

Since even Lord Ten Thousand Years Ice Cube Lin had spoken, Hu Bin quickly replied: "Do you think the Hebrew gang doesn't know, but their task is to ensure that Gondor doesn't fall, and that group of numbered people must come out to contain them, they have to stay there, even if they lose all their troops." I don't care what the other numberers think, and I hope they don't be blinded by immediate interests. Killing the opposite numberer can only gain some small benefits, and our fundamental goal is to complete the main quest as much as possible while preserving strength. ”

Hu Bin's habit made Ta Dun and Lin sober up a lot, in fact, it's no wonder that they didn't think of it, it's just that the troops in their hands are not too much, and they don't have Hu Bin's wealth so deep that they can almost ignore the reward for killing the numbered person, so they didn't think of this.

"Why haven't Rohan's reinforcements arrived yet? They should have arrived here in the morning. "Hu Bin is not worried that the White City will be lost in a short period of time, after all, the numberers have set up many traps here that can delay time, and Gondor still retains a large amount of elite power that has not been used, and the words of the orcs alone will not be enough to completely capture this place for a while.

But the most worrying thing is the reinforcements of the Rohans, who are the indispensable main force in this battle, tasked with greatly reducing the number of orcs and pinning down the army of war elephants, and if they arrive in time, this battle will still have to be fought. As for Aragorn's ghost legion, after all, the plot has been changed too much by the numberers, and Hu Bin is really not optimistic about whether the numberers of the ship can bring them back. (To be continued......)
