Chapter 168: Annihilation
On the vast plains of Paliano, the scuffle is still officially started. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Sauron's army huddled in front of the walls of Minas Tirith without array, retreating with a long tail dragging out, and an army of orcs continued to come from behind. And the reinforcements were like two sharp knives, plunging into this black mass from the north and northeast.
It is always the cavalry that rushes to the front. Among these cavalry, the Hussars of the Rohan Kingdom were well-arrayed and assisted each other, maintaining their formation even when they rushed into the enemy's army, the Paladins of the Demon Hunter Knights were more positional warfare, they would form a straight line and use their superior strength and defense to oppress the enemy's line, the armored Giant Bear Legion was extremely brave, although they were few in number, they were the main force to attack the enemy, and any orc, even the powerful orcs and trolls, would not be their opponents; the Elven Cavalry and the Holy Ranger Cavalry were more mobile, they followed behind the forward cavalry and constantly killed the enemy with bows and arrows, and the dwarven goat cavalry was not suitable for plain warfare, but they are numerous and a strong new force.
The arrival of a large number of reinforcements gave Minas Tirith unparalleled morale, and they knew that the final decisive battle was coming, and Middle-earth would decide its fate today!
At this moment, shouts of killing came from the port south of Minas Tirith, and the pirates of the south also joined the side of Sauron's army at this time, but not all of them disembarked to join the attack, and only sent a small group of pirates to stand by in the port and observe the situation on the battlefield.
These pirates were not many for the armies of Gondor and Sauron. It may be possible to fight a tailwind, but once the tide of battle is setback, they will definitely be the first to escape. They were clearly waiting for the tide of battle to turn.
In the rear of Sauron's army, the mammoths of the Eastern barbarians also joined the battlefield. These massive creatures can trample a man to death with a single kick, can turn a cavalryman on his back with a casual touch, have almost touchable tusks strapped with barbs that kill or wound a person, and barbarian archers sitting on mammoths can easily cause problems for enemy troops on the ground.
Edward glanced at the situation on the battlefield, gave up chasing the fleeing Ringwraith, and manipulated Alan to fly to the city gates.
This is a rare opportunity for a counterattack, as long as the city gate is cleared, the army of Minas Tirith will be able to attack from the city gate, and assist the reinforcements to completely surround and annihilate the army of Sauron!
Edward jumped directly from the sky above Grande, and with the help of a powerful falling force, he landed among the heavily armed trolls with a "boom", and the huge holy light formed a powerful explosion, knocking almost all the nearby trolls away.
Flying in the air, Alan let out a roar and continued to fly over the city, chasing down the ringspirits.
The smoke and dust of the explosion had not yet dissipated, and Edward, who was holding the star shine, killed in the direction of the city gate, and the **** sword qi and holy light would reflect each other, breaking down the wooden structure supporting Gland into pieces of wood, and the heavy wolf-headed siege ram had no support, and fell to the ground with a bang.
Grond was destroyed, and Sauron's army lost its only weapon to storm the city, and its morale plummeted. Coupled with the fact that it looked like Edward the Dragon Slayer was in front of them, the heavily armed trolls and orcs roared and began to retreat in fear.
"It's time for a counterattack! Warriors of Gondor!
In the city of Minas Tirith, Aragon finally appeared. Dressed in the armor of a king, he rode a tall horse surrounded by a group of Gondor knights, and raised the holy sword Anduriel high, allowing his holy light to shine in the air. Behind him, Faramir personally held the flag for his Majesty and his instructors, holding the banner of the Holy White Tree representing His Majesty King Gondor, and at the side of his horse hung a helmet belonging to the Ringwraith - the helmet belonging to the downed Ringwraith.
Five hundred paladins rushed out first, and Edward jumped onto the back of the first horse, whose owner had fallen under the hammer of the heavily armed troll.
"Don't worry, I'll avenge your master!" Edward lowered his head and softly calmed the manic warhorse, then raised his star and led the paladins forward.
His voice echoed over the battlefield again: "All those who can stand up in Minas Tirith! Hold on to your weapons, let your anger fill your chest, and let your power be unleashed! For Gondor, for Middle-earth, for justice, and kill all your enemies!"
With his shout, a burst of light rose from Edward's body, and the symbol of the Knights of the Demon Hunter was formed in the air - the Commander's Holy Light logo, which allowed everyone to see that the Commander was still fighting bloodily on the battlefield.
With his shout, all the people in Minas Tirith followed in his footsteps and rushed out of the city gates and slaughtered into battle.
............
This fierce battle lasted for a whole day and a night.
During this time, corpses continued to fall from the sky, including giant eagles, and more so gargoyles, giant bats, and crows. The Wind King Guan He's feathers have fallen off badly, but he still fights Sauron's air force with Alan.
Alan was covered in bruises, his armor and feathers covered in arrows, smashes, and Shadow Orb burns. But its record was also brilliant - all four of the remaining Ringlings were killed by Alan, leaving only four shrunken armors and fleeing into the distance with the badly wounded ghost body.
Gandalf completely dispelled the dark clouds from the sky and then joined the battlefield, his white robes no longer so holy and neat, stained with orc blood.
Aragorn and Faramor led the soldiers of Gondor to the east, and the two men who led the way were also covered in scars, but they were still fighting on the front line. The soldiers behind them were inspired by the king and fought with fearless courage to slay down the enemy. Although there are people who fall in the middle of the advance at any time, if one person falls, someone will soon fill their gap and continue to keep the array advancing eastward.
The mammoths of Sauron's army have been wiped out, and their corpses are filled with arrows that flash with holy light. The cavalry also became mostly infantry, and their horses were either killed or died of exhaustion, or the knights were killed, and there were ownerless horses everywhere. Only the small, nimble and extremely endurable Goat Cavalry is still active on the battlefield, and they are still unstoppable under the leadership of Thorin and Dane.
Bion and Golden Bolt were covered in blood, as was the armored bear that followed them. The Phiskins were the vanguard of this battle, suffering heavy losses, but they still had no regrets, slapping their hated orcs with their bear claws.
The three elven kings, King Elrond, Thranduil, and Kellerbon, also did not have their usual grace, their ornate armor was full of gaps, their cloaks were turned into rags, their horses and stag mounts were all killed, their chests rose and fell violently, and they gritted their teeth to kill the enemy under the protection of the elven soldiers. Hardir, as Kellerpeng's bodyguard, was no better.
The two fathers and sons, Hiyodon and Hiyud, were pale, their bodies were covered in arrows, and they were being treated by the rear priest led by Arwen, along with them were Legolas's war pet Sorey. Iomo took command of the Hussars of the Rohan Kingdom, and together with Iowen, they rushed into the battlefield.
The only people dressed on the battlefield were Edward, Glorfindel, and Legolas.
Legolas led the Holy Ranger Knights, constantly roaming the battlefield, shooting enemies with bows and arrows.
Although Edward charged at the front line, the impenetrable star he wielded and the still strong holy light on his body were able to effectively block the blood splashed by the orcs.
Glorfindel is a legendary elf who is highly skilled in battlefield combat, and he is even able to dodge the blood of his enemies as a hidden arrow to prevent the filthy blood from staining his robes.
At the same time, this elf also has great divine power, and he and Edward have become almost the most dazzling and powerful forces on the battlefield, declaring the strength of divine power in the western and central parts of Sauron's army, respectively.
Under the fierce resistance of these men, the numerical superiority of Sauron's army was reduced at a rate visible to the naked eye. But as night fell, Sauron's army was nearly suppressed and driven to the Cave of Minas.
Today's army of Sauron, the trolls who rushed to the front at the beginning of the battle were almost completely slaughtered, the orcs suffered heavy losses, and the southern pirates fled in ships when they saw that the situation was not good. The only ones who can form combat power are ordinary orcs, barbarians, a small number of strong orcs, and trolls who flee when the clouds are dispersed and become active after nightfall.
Together, Gondor's army and reinforcements restrained their fatigue and immediately launched an attack on Sauron's army, and in the middle of the night, they easily captured the Cave of Minas before resting.
Edward was also very tired, but he did not rest, and treated the scarred Alan with holy light in the enclosure, who closed his eyes in pleasure.
"Edward, aren't you resting?" said Galadriel as he walked in, whispering, "Now that Sauron's army has been wiped out, there is nothing to fear about what remains. ”
"No, this war is not over. Edward patted Alan lightly, stood up and saluted Galadriel, "We need one final crucial step. ”
"You're worried about Frodo?" Galadriel laughed, "We'll wipe out the remaining orc army for him, but now we need to rest." ”
"Yes, we need to rest, and so does Soron. Edward's gaze drifted to Mordor in the distance, "Sauron is a powerful Maia, his army claims to be endless, and if he is allowed to obtain the Ring, all our previous efforts will be in vain. ”
"Right now, between Mount Doom and Frodo, there's still a lot of orcs in my way, and I need to go there to help them. ”
"And how did you get into Mordor?" Galadriel glanced at Alan, a strange and powerful creature that couldn't fly into the sky yet.
Soon, however, a massive eagle descended from the sky and gave Galadriel the answer.
