There was a burst of explosions, and the orcs began to attack the city. The army of orcs was the first to launch not catapults, but artillery.

Thanks to the birth of the Shenzhou Empire, the natives of Middle-earth knew that there was a siege weapon called "gunpowder" in the world, although the precise ratio of gunpowder has been guarded by the Shenzhou Empire, but Saruman, as a white-robed wizard, used the method of deriving the cause of the result to calculate the ratio of gunpowder, and after continuous experiments, finally prepared the original black powder.

Saruman developed gunpowder, and created artillery through alchemy technology, relatively primitive artillery, although the power of black powder is not strong, the artillery is also very primitive, but that is for the Shenzhou Empire, for Gondor, this is definitely a big killer Saruman also created solid bullets and flowering bullets, since then, artillery has been used as a long-range attack weapon for the army of strong orcs, as for the catapult, it has been swept into the dust of history.

"Damn it" Faramor, Boromir, and Gandalf looked at the rows of artillery of the Orc army with hatred, and cursed Saruman in the most vicious language in their hearts.

"Don't you have artillery," Gandalf asked reluctantly.

"We don't," Boromir said bitterly.

"You, alas," Gandalf sighed, for it was too late to say anything.

"If the trebuchet can't hit the enemy, then can the mage legion attack the enemy" Faramir looked at Gandalf and Boromir.

Gandalf was silent for a moment, silently condensed a fireball technique, and then manipulated the fireball technique to attack the orc's artillery position, but the distance was too far, and the fireball fell to the ground before it could fly to the orc's artillery position.

Gandalf can't even attack the artillery units of the strong orcs, let alone the mage legions in the city.

"It really fulfills a proverb in the Shenzhou Empire, if you are backward, you are being beaten. In our eyes, we represent the backward and wild strong orcs, its science and technology are actually more advanced than us, we Gondor, how can we still have the face to boast of advanced civilization I once suggested to my father to send craftsmen to the Shenzhou Empire to learn, but my father just doesn't listen to strong orcs know to keep pace with the times, but we still stubbornly adhere to what knightly laws, resolutely refuse to learn advanced technology, otherwise we wouldn't be so passive" Faramir hammered the city wall fiercely, and said hatefully.

"I took a cavalry unit with me, and I took the orc cannon," Boromir said, gritting his teeth, and was about to leave the city with a flick of his cloak.

"You're going to die" Faramir stopped Boromir and shouted, "Are the orc infantry, minotaur warriors, and Kodo beasts all decorations when you go, there will be no return, maybe, the strong orcs are waiting for us to go out."

"If we don't attack, can we only be beaten passively," Boromir said with the same hard hammer on the wall, and said hatefully.

Gandalf glanced at Boromir and Faramor, and instantly understood in his heart that Boromir could not be a general, and if he wanted to defend the royal city, he had to rely on Faramor, although Faramor lost the Star Fortress, but it was precisely because Faramor lost the Star Fortress that he had the first-hand information of the strong orcs that he could resist the attack of the strong orcs.

"What do you suggest, Faramor?" said Gandalf.

"Organize the people who have learned ninjutsu in the city, take advantage of the night to carry out a night attack, if you can defeat the artillery of the strong orcs, it is the best, if you can't defeat it, you will also create chaos for the strong orcs." Faramir said with a deep breath.

Boromir's eyes lit up. Although Boromir usually looks down on people who practice ninjutsu, thinking that they are a bunch of garbage, shameless people who don't have a trace of chivalry, but in its current form, these people who know ninjutsu can solve the dilemma in front of them. As long as you can use the earth to lurk under the artillery positions of the strong orc army, and then think of igniting the powder magazine of the strong orcs, without gunpowder, the cannon will be too heavy as a burning stick.

Boromir immediately ordered his guards to gather those who had learned ninjutsu in the city and prepare for a night attack.

"Gandalf, can you get in touch with Aragorn" Falmer looked at Gandalf.

"Yes, I can't contact Aragorn, but I can contact Legolas." Gandalf replied immediately.

Contacting Legolas is equivalent to contacting Aragorn, Falmer nodded, and watched the army of orcs outside the city remain silent.

"Are you worried that the ninjas won't be able to destroy the artillery positions, and that you want Aragorn to lead the undead army of Dingho Mountain to destroy the artillery positions of the fire orcs," Gandalf asked.

"The artillery attack of the strong orcs seems to be huge, but in fact the lethality is not strong, anyone who has cultivated the fighting spirit or magic can easily avoid the cannonballs of the artillery, the artillery of the strong orcs is too primitive, and the rate of fire is extremely slow, and it will not cause much damage to the city, mainly it will bring psychological pressure, but we have implemented a curfew, everything makes way for war, and the harm of artillery has been minimized by us, as for the people who practice ninjutsu, it is just for them to act at the opportunity and create chaos for the strong orcs." Faramir spoke eloquently.

"Then what do you mean by asking Aragorn?" Gandalf was puzzled.

"I want Aragorn to be able to lead the army of the undead in Dinghuo Mountain to cut off the replenishment of the strong orcs on the premise of preserving himself, this army is a surprise soldier, and must not participate in the frontal battlefield. Even if Minas Tirith is in danger of breaking the city. Faramir's face was strangely solemn.

"Why don't you let Aragorn go to war even if you break the city, you are worried that Aragorn will be successful in the war and run for your father's power," Gandalf asked in a deep voice with a cold face.

"Superficially, in the words of the Divine Empire, Xia Worm can't be spoken, when is it, still thinking about fighting for power and profit" Faramir looked at Gandalf coldly as well.

"Then why don't you let Aragorn participate in the war, the undead army is not afraid of life and death, and its combat effectiveness is very strong." Gandalf said puzzled.

"The Divine Empire has a cloud sword, and only when it is unsheathed, the deterrent power is the greatest. Aragon's army of the undead is the sword, and don't forget, Saruman's army of the undead hasn't yet appeared. Faramir pointed to the darkness in the distance.

Gandalf couldn't help but be stunned, he was caught off guard by the army of strong orcs, and he actually forgot about Saruman's undead army, Gandalf couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat when he thought of this.

"I'll contact Legolas." Gandalf said quickly.

"Don't worry, tell Aragorn that Minas Tirith can hold for three days at most, if Aragorn can't ask for reinforcements from the Shenzhou Empire within three days, just wait for the destruction of the Gondor Kingdom." Falmer said bitterly.

"How is it possible that the beacon of Amundin has been lit, and the cavalry of Rohan will arrive soon. Rohan's cavalry are all knights who have cultivated their fighting spirit, and each cavalry has reached the level of a knight, and with Rohan's cavalry, how could Gondor be destroyed in three days," Gandalf said.

"Gandalf, do you think who the reinforcements of the Shenzhou Empire I am talking about are not the cavalry of Rohan, since the father of King Xiyuton, Seier, entered Chang'an as a hostage and was named King Xian, Rohan is no longer the hometown of hussars in Middle-earth, but has become an autonomous region of the Shenzhou Empire, without the order of His Majesty the Emperor of the Shenzhou Empire, it is impossible for Rohan to send troops to Gondor."

"Don't mention the ancient covenants, the covenants are meant to be torn apart, even if the king of Rohan Heudon keeps the ancient covenants, it will take time for them to come to their aid, it makes no difference to them whether they arrive a day earlier or a day later, but it is a difference between life and death for us, if they delay until the city is broken, when we die," Faramir asked rhetorically.
