Chapter 67: The Legend of Rohan (4)
"How soon will the orc army arrive?" asked Theudon, standing in front of the wall and facing the guards around him.
"Because recently, a group of strong warriors have appeared out of nowhere, and they have consumed a lot of strong orcs with their lives, which has slowed down the pace of their advancement a lot, and it is expected that they will arrive at night. ”
"The people of Rohan are all good. Heyudon said, leaning against the wall.
"Your Majesty, can you send some people to me, I want to dig some pits in front of the city walls, so that the orcs will not be so easy to rack. Chen Long said on the side.
"You've got a lot of ideas. With that, Xi Youton turned around and explained a few words to a few guards, and the city gate began to dig a pit in full swing, and the most beautiful thing was that I don't know where Chen Long got some green grass and dead leaves, and covered up the hole he had just dug.
The project lasted from morning to afternoon, during which time many outcasts who claimed to have fought against the strong orcs wanted to join the Valley of the Holy Helm. After hearing about their heroic interception of the orcs, the defenders of the city put them into the city, a total of 12 people, a team of five and seven scattered people, all of whom were trialists without exception.
At this time, Chen Long also withdrew from the construction site and came to Xiyouton's side, and inspected the twelve people in front of him with Xiyouton.
"Welcome, warriors, and thank you for risking your lives to harass the abominable orc armies, and Rohan will always remember your contributions. ”
Just when the people in the audience were about to applaud, Chen Long, who was standing next to Xiyouton, poured a basin of cold water on them.
"I'm sorry guys, because we are not sure if there are any spies sent by Saruman among you, so you will be scattered, and each of you will form a team with nine soldiers, and if you escape in front of the battle, you will be killed, if you do not listen to the command in front of the battle, you will be killed, and if you are grinding in front of the battle, you will not be able to help. Do you understand everything?"
"Then what if we are ordered to die, we have paid so much for Rohan, we can't just waste our lives in vain. ”
As the trialists in the audience complained, the rest of the people also had a tendency to coax, they saw that Chen Long was also a trialist, didn't he come to this world a few days earlier and got acquainted with some plot characters, what is there to be afraid of.
"I repeat what he said, those who disobey orders will die! In my absence, everyone is under the command of this little brother, if you do anything with him, I'm sorry, please leave the Valley of the Holy Helmet now, we will remember your exploits, if we keep it, Rohan will reward you in the future, but if you want to stay, you must give me orders!"
Xi Youdun deserves to be the king, and these words, coupled with the power of the king, made the people in the audience breathless, so they could only obediently lie on the ground and continue to listen to Chen Long's speech.
The stick is given, it's time to give the carrot. Chen Long continued:
"I believe that you are all skilled people who want to contribute to the future of humanity. After the battle of the Valley of the Holy Helm, we will lead our army to face Mordor. The army is not accessible to everyone, what we need is the elite, the troops who can fight and dare to fight, if you perform well, I will allow you to join the later battles. ”
Hearing this, everyone in the audience heard Chen Long's voiceover: "Give me a good fight, don't be a moth." If you fight well, even if you are one of the ring guards, you will get a piece of the pie, if you don't fight well, I'm sorry, go home, dare to come out again, I will lead the army to run you over. ”
After this group of people dealt with it, there was also a small episode - a man in a black robe came to find Chen Long.
When he came to the crowd, he took the robe. The crowd looked at it fixedly, but did not recognize it. Only the monk sitting on the side said:
"Amitabha, the poor monk remembers the donor, you are the second brother who fought against me in the CSP base, right? ”
The man nodded and said:
"Yes, I'm here today to talk to you about cooperation. ”
As far as I know, you've joined the Mordor forces, and we're not at odds. Chen Long said coldly on the side.
"I don't know if you understand the purpose of these trials, which are to temper us and survive the fittest, to concentrate resources on the strong, and then to gather them and send them to another world to overthrow the tyrants there. ”
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but gasp. Of course, the people from the academy knew the purpose of this trial, but these twelve people knew so much as ordinary people, you know, these secrets are not even known to the state organs.
"We know that, so what do you mean?"
"We want to seek long-term cooperation in the future. The reason we joined Mordor was to get the Ringwraith's crafting method, which would strengthen the bonds of our twelve brothers and make them harder to defeat. The terms of our exchange with Sauron were to help him obtain the One Ring. I'm here to ask, do you have the confidence to defeat Sauron?"
Chen Long pondered for a moment and said:
"You trade the One Ring for this power, and then immediately turn away and join the forces of Middle-earth, right? ”
"Yes, after all, we will be comrades-in-arms in the future, help you defeat Sauron, the better the reward you get, the better the reward you will get, the stronger you will be, the team can be strong, why not accept it?"
"You can cooperate, but you can't rebel against Sauron. ”
"?" The second black man question mark.
"I mean, don't betray him right away, even if our army is overwhelmed, you have to pretend that we have nothing to do with it. When we besieged Sauron, you pretended to help him and took advantage of the opportunity to backstab him. ”
"It's still you. The second gave a thumbs up.
Because the play was still going on, the second child immediately put on a black cloak and left, so as not to be recognized by Saruman's fine work, and let Sauron know that they were plotting with Chen Long and the others.
In the evening, the Elite sent a team of five hundred elite archers.
The elven prince stepped forward, shook hands with the leader, and said:
"This is Rivendell's Royal Guard, most of them have been transferred here. ”
When the officer saw Theudon coming, he bowed his body and said:
"Hundreds of years ago, elves and humans fought side by side to defeat the dark forces from Mordor. Back then, elves and humans fought for each other without distinguishing between you and me, and now, we elves will not forget humans, and will swear to defend the Valley of the Holy Helmet and Rohan with everyone!"
......
The hours passed quickly. First a few torches appeared at the end of the plain, and then countless fires continued to emerge, as if to illuminate the night into day.
The army of strong orcs in front of him was well-disciplined and well-equipped, changing people's stereotype of orcs being lazy and reckless.
The strong orcs stood five hundred meters in front of the city wall, and everyone could see clearly this group of monsters with a height of two meters. They were all dressed in fine armor, and the steel knives in their hands shone with a breathtaking silver light.
The rain began to fall, but neither the orcs below the city nor the Rohan army on the walls moved. On one side, the orcs stand still, and on the other, the humans are tense.
"Hold on!" Aragorn shouted, roving.
The scene was stalemate for several minutes, until an arrow pierced the night sky and pierced straight into the neck of a strong orc in the front row, and a peasant could not withstand the pressure and let go.
The orc clutched his blood-spurting neck and slowly fell. The strong orcs around listened to the wails of the dying orcs, and watched him continue to spurt blood, and their anger was also ignited to the extreme. A strong orc picked up his knife and rushed forward like crazy. The Great War has begun.
"Three hundred meters, two hundred meters, one hundred meters, steady! Fifty meters, release!" Aragon shouted.
Countless arrows intertwined into a rain of arrows poured down, and many strong orcs were knocked down by the rain of arrows, and then turned into meat under the iron hooves of the following strong orcs.
In fact, the main lethality of arrows comes from the elves, and their arrows are so powerful that even well-armed orcs can't carry an arrow. Then there was the Rohan Iron Horse, even though they lost their horses and their combat effectiveness decreased a lot, but the accuracy of their archery was first-class, and many arrows could be accurately pierced into the unprotected necks of the strong orcs. In the end, it is those civilians who are used to fill the number, most of their arrows are inaccurate and not powerful, but they can't stand the crowd, and the indiscriminate arrows of two thousand civilians can kill two hundred strong orcs in one round.
After the first volley, Aragon gave the order to fire freely. And under the fierce charge of the strong orcs, the orcs have come under the city walls.
The orc at the front of the "poof" suddenly stepped into the air and slid to the ground with the dripping rain. He looked around blankly, not knowing when many potholes of different depths appeared. But before he could come back to his senses, one foot stepped over, followed by countless feet over him.
The strong orcs used their lives to fill the hole in front of the city wall, and after about two hundred strong orcs, there was already a "plain" in front of the city wall. ”
"Roar!" a strong orc leader sitting in the rear swung his knife forward, and then a dozen cloud ladders emerged from the formation, and the strong orcs carried the ladders forward.
"Solve the ladder first!" cried Aragorn.
"No, let them come!" Chen Long yelled loudly.
Although Aragorn didn't know what Chen Long wanted to do, with a lot of his previous ideas and trust in him, he still listened to Chen Long's words.
"Free fire, let the orcs come here!"
Without the pressure of the rain of arrows, the orcs quickly carried ladders to the city wall and began to climb up.
"What now, Chen Long. Aragorn also came to Chen Long's side and asked.
"It's useless to shoot and kill the ladder, one will come and take over, instead of doing this kind of useless work, it's better to take a salary from the bottom of the kettle and burn the ladder. Chen Long replied.
"But it's raining now, how do you order a ladder?"
"Do you remember the oil we collected?" Chen Long shouted after he finished speaking:
"One hundred cavalry under Iomer obey the order! Throw down the barrel in front of you and set it on fire with a rocket!"
The hundred cavalry that Xu Zekai wanted to come have been nesting in the back all the time, just for now.
The cavalrymen, in groups of five, pushed down twenty barrels and fired arrows at the same time.
Then, twenty oil drums turned into flowing flames in the air, turning the front of the city wall into a sea of fire, and countless orcs wailed and turned to ashes, and the first wave of the orc's attack ended in failure.
