Chapter 424 Attacking the city is the bottom, attacking the heart is the top
Gandalf's proposal was very appealing to Gandalf, who did not care about the worldly kingship, but about the big picture, against the dark forces. But Gandalf thought for a long time, and finally shook his head slowly.
"Why?!" Faramir asked, puzzled.
"Because your father will not give up the power in his hands." Gandalf glanced at Faramir and said.
In his heart, Faramor's proposal was in line with Gandalf's wishes, and even if Gondor followed Rohan's example and declared himself a vassal to the Divine Empire, it would not have had much impact on Faramor, after all, Faramor also had an older brother Boromir on his head, and Faramor had no inheritance rights at all.
However, as long as anything is mixed with the right treatment factor, even simple things will become extremely complicated things.
"Where is Aragorn, son of Arazon and descendant of the thirty-ninth descendant of Essiz, the Terran ranger?" Falmer asked suddenly.
"Aragon went to the Dingho Mountain." Gan Dao replied.
"The undead troops of Dinghuo Mountain? I see, Gandalf, I would like to ask if, if I am a vassal to the Divine Empire in the name of Aragorn, do I ask for reinforcements from the Divine Empire? Faramir asked in a deep voice.
"What do you want to do?" Gandalf's eyes were like electricity, and he was staring at Faramir.
"I want to let the vast majority of the inhabitants of Minas Tirith survive as much as possible, I want to let more people in Gondor survive, only by facing the army of strong orcs can I know the terrible army of strong orcs, and with us alone, the odds of victory are not high." Faramo said.
Gandalf looked at Faramir and suddenly remembered that Faramir had studied in the Jixia Academy Palace, presumably during his studies, he saw the strength of the Shenzhou Empire, so he immediately thought of asking for help from the Shenzhou Empire.
"You can't represent Aragorn, and before Aragorn arrives, no one can ask the Divine Empire in the name of Aragorn! However, when Aragorn arrives at Minas Tirith, you can try to serve Aragorn. Gandalf said in a deep voice, finished, Gandalf's hands slashed into the air, and a fireball appeared in Gandalf's hands
"Gandalf, what are you going to do?" Faramir subconsciously drew his sword and asked loudly.
"It's time to light the beacon of Amundine." Gandalf, the fireball in his hand "whew~" and flew straight towards the beacon tower, and with a "Peng~" sound, Amundine's beacon fire ignited.
One by one, the beacon fires were lit, like a relay race, and passed out in turn and passed to Rohan.
"The flame of Amundine is lit, and so is hope." Gandalf exhaled.
"Hopefully?" Faramor looked at Amundin's beacon in silence, and finally sighed: "I hope this hope is not like a candle in the wind, which will be extinguished at any time." ”
"Woo woo~" The horn of the strong beast army sounded, and the strong beast Rao army began to slowly approach the city wall, stopping outside the range of magic and bow and arrow strikes.
"What is this?" Faramor asked, looking at the huge monster beneath the city.
"It's Kodomon." Gandalf looked at the Kodo beast, surrounded by the boundless orc infantry, and said in a deep voice.
The orc army did not immediately attack the city, but set up a position outside the city, and then stalemate.
"Why don't they attack the city immediately?" Boromir asked in a deep voice, pursing his lips.
"The so-called good strategy, siege for the bottom, attack the heart for the top. They are fighting psychological warfare, forcing us, and when we are nervous, we will inevitably show flaws, and when they are exposed, it is when they attack the city. Faramor explained.
Boromir was silent for a moment, then exhaled and said, "This is what you learned in the Jixia Academy?" ”
"Yes, the Jixia Academy not only teaches magic fighting qi, but also has a strategy class." Faramor explained.
"And when do you think the orc army will attack the city?" Boromir then asked.
"Evening." Faramir didn't even think about it.
"At night? The vision is dark at night, even if the strong orcs have a good vision at night, it is not as good as white. Boromir was puzzled.
"Attacking at night, not in the city, but in the heart, I am worried about the strong orc sword saint, at that time, there will be an orc army attacking the city, and there will be a sword saint wreaking havoc inside, and at that time, the city will be from the nobles to the poor, and people will be panicked, I am even more worried, in case the sword saint burns me
I have food reserves, and at that time, the orcs will be able to trap us without attacking the city and trapping. Faramir said in a deep voice.
"I'll immediately send a master to protect the grain and grass." Boromir was startled and hurriedly said.
"Alas, this is the Yang conspiracy, sending masters to protect the grain and grass, and the place where the grain and grass are stored is bound to be heavily guarded, and it is clear that the grain and grass of the beast clan are here; If you don't send heavy troops to protect it, the Beast Clan Sword Saint will inevitably burn all the grain and grass easily. Faramir let out a long sigh.
"It's not, but it's not, so what should I do?" Boromir's face changed again and again, "All of these are what you learned in the Jixia Academy?" ”
"Yes. It is precisely because the more I learn in the Jixia Academy, the more I feel my ignorance, and the more I feel the horror of the Shenzhou Empire, in a depressing word, even if we win the army of strong orcs, the army of the undead, and the Saruman, so what? The so-called snipe and clam compete and the fisherman profits, the Shenzhou Empire is not a fisherman who has no power to restrain chickens, but a tiger and an evil dragon. Faramir was pessimistic.
"These things are all later, all we have to do is to guard Minas Tirith, and leave the rest to your father and Aragorn......" Gandalf also sighed, and then said, "How can we prevent the powerful beast from destroying it?" ”
"The only way to do that is to confuse the truth with the false. We not only have to defend the grain depot, but also send heavy soldiers and military masters to defend it, and similarly, set up a few traps, and also send heavy soldiers and military masters to defend it, so that the strong orc sword saint can't distinguish between the virtual and the real. Faramor blurted out the thoughts in his mind.
Boromir and Gandalf looked at each other, then at Faramor deeply, and then began to set up.
Saruman's plan to attack the heart, as soon as there are more than 10,000 people, there is no boundary, and hundreds of thousands of strong orcs army will surround Minas Tirith tightly, and it is a person who looks at it from the city, and his tongue will inevitably be dry, his heart will beat faster, and his heart will be nervous, and if he is nervous, he will be afraid, and if he is in chaos, he will be even more chaotic, and if there is a huge chaos and roar in the city, this battle will not have to be fought.
Faramir watched the chaos begin in the city, signaled Gandalf to stabilize the morale of the army first, and then took his own guards to form a picket, and directly ordered in the name of the regent of Gondor to implement the policy of night, and in the troubled times, he used heavy rituals, but anyone who did not hide in the house and traveled outside the house was directly beheaded.
Faramir insisted on using this iron-blooded method plus dozens of heads to suppress the chaos in the city.
At the same time, Boromir first scattered the grain in the grain depot, and then sent heavy troops to guard it, and set some traps to wait for the orc swordmaster to come.
Boromir and Falmer and Gandalf gathered at the head of the city to prepare for the next Orc siege.
In the evening, the horn of the strong beast Rao sounded, and the beast army began to attack the city.
