Chapter 297 Minas Tirith War (3)

The battle here in Minas Tirith, the capital of Gondor, has just begun. Before the siege troops and defenders of the two sides have formally contacted and started bloody hand-to-hand combat, the long-range attack equipment of both sides, the catapults They have already started to compete with each other.

There are more than half of the dozens of orcs with large winches and torsion catapults left. They are being manipulated by giant trolls, and they are constantly twisting those arms and sawtooth winches. After the torque reaches the maximum, another The trolls carried huge stones, and then they faced the black iron ball shells whizzing out of the city or the large counterweight trebuchets thrown by the Gondor defenders. Even the building fragments as big as half of the city gate kept fighting back.

Basically, neither side needs much aiming. The boulders or shells thrown from Minas Tirith can always crush countless enemies or plow bloody paths in the orc army formation; similarly, The half-orc troll catapults can always successfully smash down a certain section of city wall or house, and finally successfully knock up or bury part of the defenders and residents...

In this long-distance stone-throwing battle between the two sides, in general, the Gondor side defending the city has a big advantage!

Because, just for those large defensive equipment at high places, those fixed counterweight catapults, their attack distance and accuracy are far better than the orc winch torque car, which is also That's why the Ringwraith Wyvern knights are sparing no effort to take the lead in attacking those large and small counterweight catapults.

Of course, the artillery units of the United Kingdom of Alicia at the top of Minas Tirith are also within their target!

Now, apart from the other five ring spirits still ravaging the city below, there are three ring spirit dragon knights circling upwards.

"Line up! Everyone check their weapons!"

At this moment, Alicia's musketeers of fifty had just arrived near a large counterweight catapult, and when they had just lined up, they saw:

In the distance, perhaps a few hundred yards away from them, another hapless trebuchet was being caught directly by the arm of the catapult by the powerful hind claws that flew down from the flying wyvern, and then, The huge machine fell apart and was caught in the air by half of its frame. When it fell, it accurately smashed to death and injured a large group of Gondor soldiers who were trying to shoot arrows at it.

After destroying a trebuchet, the Ringwraith didn't grow tall or fly away, but turned his head fiercely to look this way.

Then, under the control of the ring spirits again, the terrifying big monster turned around in mid-air with a deft gesture just by turning its wings, and started to move towards them, with fifty musketeers The counterweight trebuchet guarded by soldiers flew over here...

Obviously, it and its owner wanted to destroy this war machine that was still shooting boulders at the half-orc army outside the city, and give the stubborn Gondor defenders a good look!

"Guns on the shoulders, raise your muzzles! Aim at that flying dragon!"

Under the order of the squad leader of the Kingdom of Alicia, and under the puzzled eyes of the other Gondor soldiers wearing plate armor, a total of forty of them formed a neat four-row loose formation. They raised the muzzles of their respective guns in unison, aiming at the Ring Spirit Flying Dragon monster that was gradually descending and began to glide over.

"Squeal!"

Before it arrived, the terrifying monster like a flying dragon repeated its old tricks, making that sharp and terrifying neighing sound again, which made the group of Gondor soldiers who were manipulating the counterweight trebuchet scream one after another. Listening to their respective ears, all of a sudden, birds and beasts scatter...

A few brave Gondor soldiers who planned to shoot arrows could not help but relax their bows immediately under the ear-piercing screams, let the arrows fly out weakly, and then dropped the bows and arrows,

Catch their helmets and run!

"Aim for me, get ready..."

Compared with the fleeing Gondor soldiers, Alicia's musketeers seemed much calmer. Although the screams still made them feel uncomfortable, they dealt with the explosion of muskets and cannons every day. They said that the noise of this monster is still within the acceptable range.

Furthermore, human fear often stems from the unknown.

Whether it is a monster, a dragon, a snake, or a wolf dog, as long as one of them has been killed with one's own hands, after meeting the same target again, that sense of fear will no longer exist!

And just now, at the royal garden at the top of the city of Minas Tirith, they have successfully and easily overturned a ring spirit flying dragon knight without any loss. The ring spirit dragon knight who came is actually not cowardly at all.

That's because each of them knows that no matter how powerful the enemy is, they can still be hurt and killed by the weapons in their hands. Therefore, they only need to aim a little bit now, and if they don't get rushed by the enemy, then enough.

"Fire!!!"

Snapped! Snapped! Snapped!

As the ring spirit flying dragon knight gradually approached, under the command of the team officer, after a series of gunshots, a full forty hot cone-shaped bullets spewed out from the muzzles of those Mini rifles. Going out, he shot straight towards the huge body of the flying dragon monster under the crotch of the ring spirit knight who swooped over!

"Gah..."

In an instant, the screaming sound of the flying dragon monster that was screaming happily stopped abruptly!

Then, at the same time that its huge wings were instantly pierced with dozens of large holes for air leakage, several hideous wounds burst out of black poisonous blood on its huge and strong body in an instant!

Immediately afterwards, it seemed to have lost the strength to glide, and directly relied on inertia to fall forward and downward...

Boom! ! !

In the chaos of loud crashing noises and giant trees flying horizontally, after the falling monsters killed and injured many Gondor soldiers, the Alicia officer who commanded the musketeers to shoot found embarrassingly: just now This monster and the ring spirit knight on its back, their goal of destroying this catapult has finally been successfully achieved...

"..."

"That knight is still alive?!"

When more and more Gondor soldiers held short swords and shields, or held spears tightly with both hands, and were seriously injured, but they were still surrounded by screaming and struggling flying dragon monsters trying to make up the knife, they It was only then that he was horrified to see that under the body of the flying dragon, a ring spirit wearing a black robe and holding a mace crawled out smoothly, hey knight?

The other party just fell from such a high place, but he still hasn't died?

"Everyone! Kill him quickly!"

"Kill!!!"

As a Gondor general gave the order immediately, a group of Gondor legionnaires armed with shields and spears shouted slogans to kill the enemy. Their respective shields and weapons rushed up.

"Oh! Stupid human beings, I will never spare you!"

A hoarse voice sounded, and then, as the Ringwraith knight swung the mace violently, the first few Gondor soldiers who rushed forward held shields in their left hands and swung their daggers with their right hands before they could slash at each other. They were smashed on the shield by the opponent's ferocious sledgehammer, screamed and were instantly knocked out, fell heavily to the street on the next floor of Minas Tirith, and remained motionless up...

Of course, the attack of this ring spirit black knight is far from over!

Afterwards, the Ringwraith roared and rushed directly into the phalanx of dozens of Gondor spearmen and sword-and-shield infantry, regardless of the spear points and blades that the opponent swung at him, just a series of hammer blows and The sweeping movement, just slammed into it so straight!

Amidst the wailing sounds of shields and soldiers flying around, daggers and spears snapping, in less than ten breaths, the group of Gondor soldiers either fell to the ground with their heads bleeding, or, I don't know where it was smashed and flew...

"Hehehe..."

"Stupid humans, enjoy the last fear! Your end... is here!"

Here, the fighting power of the Ring Spirit Knight has been fully demonstrated in this short period of time.

When facing ordinary Gondor soldiers and the standard ordinary steel weapons in their hands, this ring spirit will not be harmed at all!

Therefore, he can rush and attack unscrupulously in the formation of the Gondor defenders, and when those short swords or spears hit him, they will not hurt him except for making holes or dents. cause too much impact.

"How can it be?"

"He, what kind of monster is he?!"

"Don't push me! He, he can't be killed!"

In just the blink of an eye, they lost at least thirty or fifty elite legionnaires?

This unimaginable situation caused the surrounding Gondor soldiers and the general who gave orders just now to start backing away. Their faces were all pale, as if they had seen the undead, and they kept backing away .

Now, no one is willing to rush forward to face that kind of black-robed monster that can't be beaten to death, and is also extremely powerful!

"Where is the demon-breaking team?!"

Seeing that all the Gondor soldiers rushing forward had been defeated, and no one dared to attack casually and block their own gunshots, Alicia's team officer issued another order to let the forty people who had been there all the time Behind them, the other ten musketeers who did not shoot quickly rushed forward from behind, and all pointed their rifles at the arrogant Ringwraith less than twenty steps away. .

The Gondor legionnaires had nothing to do with him, but it didn't mean that the weapons of the United Kingdom of Alicia had nothing to do with him! Now, the team officer seems to have seen the prospect of his promotion and salary increase! Leading the soldiers under her command to destroy a flying dragon and a powerful ring spirit must be enough for her to be promoted to the third rank and enter the ranks of the centurion of the legion!

"Shoot! Shoot now! Kill him!"

Chi Guoguo's meritorious service is right in front of his eyes, how can there be any reason to let it go easily? How about the strong psionic energy of the ring spirit knight? What if the dragon can fly?

Now the times have changed, no matter how good the martial arts are, no matter how hideous the appearance is, no matter how strong the strength is, they will all be shot down with one shot!

Snapped! Snapped! Snapped!

When a series of ten volleys of guns rang out, under the shocked and puzzled eyes of the Gondor soldiers, the arrogant Nazgul was directly pierced by the magic-breaking bullets engraved with mithril. After digging through ten transparent holes of different sizes, it quickly screamed and twisted and collapsed, turning into a pile of broken iron sheets...

When everything calmed down, in the ruins of the counterweight trebuchet, there was only one flying dragon monster still moaning and struggling to get up due to serious injuries.

"In our Middle-earth world, do such evil and terrifying creatures really exist?"

After seeing another Ringwraith wiped out, the team officer of the Musketeers walked over holding his reloaded Mini rifle.

She first looked at the evil dragon and monster lying on the ground, bleeding all over the place but not yet completely dead, when she found that the other party still dared to open its ferocious mouth and bared its teeth After teething, she snorted coldly and raised the muzzle of the rifle in her hand, aiming at the monster's head...

Snapped! ! !

...

Up to now, the giant half-orc siege well fence vehicle has finally approached the towering city wall of Minas Tirith in Gondor, and successfully pushed the top of the well fence, the protective iron gate with six boards, It was buckled fiercely on the wall of the city wall!

Afterwards, countless half-orc infantry screamed strangely, jumped directly onto the city wall from the well, and began to melee with the Gondor infantry and the archers who were caught off guard!

They shouted all kinds of slogans to each other, and began to fight and wrestle crazily on the narrow city wall. In an instant, the scarlet blood belonging to humans and the dark brown blood belonging to half-orcs filled the white space. The ground of the city wall...

"Hurry up! Where is the archer going right away! Shoot that pedal of the opponent!"

"Gondor's sword and shield infantry and spearmen, follow me and drive them all off the city wall!"

Seeing that the soldiers from both sides finally began to fight together, Faramir, who was commanding the battle on the city wall, hastily called out a group of elite Gondor shield infantry, and took the lead in heading towards the sections of the city wall that were in contact with the enemy. rushed over!

Fortunately, their catapults and the artillery troops supported by Alicia have successfully defeated most of the giant wells of these orcs! Now, if the other party thinks that they want to break through the walls of their capital of Gondor with the help of only five surviving Jinglan chariots, that would be wishful thinking!

You know, the city walls of Minas Tirith, the capital of Gondor, are hundreds of yards high. If they can't erect siege wall ladders, they can't take it down with just a few wells and carts. city ​​walls!

"Hurry up, press them back! Be sure to hold here!"

Faramir, who took the lead, jumped over, swept the long sword in his hand, and cleared out several half-orc soldiers around him in an instant, and the sword and shield soldiers who rushed up behind him immediately filled the empty space The orcs were knocked back!

Several half-orcs were directly pushed outside the city wall by the Gondor soldiers, and began to scream and fall...

"Bump hard! Pikemen! Quick! Attack from behind, push 'em back!"

Since there are only five small gaps for the half-orcs to rush up on the city wall, and the ring spirit flying dragon knights who originally thought they could be strong reinforcements, after receiving losses and not daring to fly lower, let those who were originally The half-orcs, who rely on crowd tactics to display their combat effectiveness, were soon blocked by the taller, stronger, and stronger Gondor defenders from both sides of the city wall with shield arrays and drove them back into the wells. .

For a while, the two sides kept consuming each other in the small gaps made by the wells.

The half-orcs kept trying to jump from the steps of the well to the city wall, but the soldiers of Gondor kept pressing them back with shield arrays and spear arrays, causing them to lose their strength in vain. At the same time, quite a few were squeezed off the pedals and fell to the ground screaming.

"Quick! Shoot arrows from both sides! Attack the side of the pedal!"

Faramir is still commanding loudly, and now everything is going well, and the goblins can't break through their walls!

"Steady, don't mess! They are not our opponents! That's it, push hard, push them out!"

As far as the current battlefield situation of the two sides is concerned, the Gondor defenders occupying the city walls have a greater advantage!

When the half-orcs tried to attack the shield wall of the Gondor shield infantry, countless arrows were shot on the narrow pedal platform of Jinglan, and countless half-orcs were shot without even having a chance to evade. It became a hedgehog, like a dumpling. After falling to the bottom, at least one or two can be killed?

"Okay! That's it! Beat them!"

"By the way, where are our oil tanks? Come on! Throw it over there and burn it right away!"

The general of Gondor, Faramir son of Regent Denethor, when he had succeeded in commanding the defenders on the wall to drive back the goblins, shouted hastily to the foot soldiers who were still shooting arrows.

If he remembered correctly, there were a lot of small oil tanks that could be thrown by hand on the city wall! And now is the time to use them.

Looking at the current situation, although the half-orcs can't come up for the time being, it's better for them to burn the remaining five giant well-lane vehicles as soon as possible, otherwise, let those half-orcs die. If they rush up, their city walls will be breached sooner or later!

After all, their defenders of Gondor are far less than the half-orcs outside! Moreover, those temporarily recruited militiamen should not have too many expectations for their combat effectiveness.

...

"Hmph! Damn it..."

Among the half-orcs, the general with a sarcoma-like scar on his face and a severely distorted hand was looking up angrily at the dozens of little people flying down from the top of Minas Tirith. black spots.

Soon, those black spots once again plowed out bloodstains in the large square formation of their orc army!

Every time, this kind of big black iron ball fired by the opponent can always cause dozens or even hundreds of casualties to them. The blow is really too big...

"My lord, the Witch King of Angmar!"

After pondering for a while, the half-orc general who saw that his side's attack was unfavorable looked at him angrily. The ring spirit leader who was landing on the ground and was directing and supervising the army's attack with him said.

"Can't you let your ring spirit knights destroy those things that shoot iron balls? They are really annoying!"

Now, after counting it, it found that those black iron balls shot down after a while had dealt a considerable blow to their half-orc army!

So far, among the thousands of soldiers they have casualties, at least a small half of their hands were smashed to death and scratched by the black iron balls bombarded from high altitude!

Just now, even one of those tall and strong trolls had half of its body smashed to pieces by that terrifying black iron ball! If this continues, it will be a great challenge for it to restrain its troops from continuing to attack! You know, when the morale fell to the bottom, if those half-orcs dispersed in a rush, it was no joke!

"shut up!"

The Witch King of Angmar turned his head viciously, and looked at the half-orc general who was riding a wolf and dared to accuse him, until the other party, together with the wolf, retreated a few steps obediently, Cai pointed angrily at the top of the gate of Minas Tirith and said:

"We've tried to attack!"

"However, my three subordinates are all hung there now! They are human beings, and they have magic weapons against us!"

The Witch King of Angmar felt ashamed and angry when he mentioned this matter. He still thinks that those flaming things must be magic weapons!

In fact, at the very beginning, their ring spirits immediately discovered the abnormal thick smoke and the flame weapons that could shoot black iron balls at the top of Minas Tirith.

At that time, he, the Witch King of Angmar, immediately sent the Dawn Destroyer who was second only to himself in strength, but how could he have thought that that bastard was killed by the enemy on the spot? !

So, when he greeted the other two companions again and was about to go up to trouble those humans, they were surprised to find that those humans actually had terrifying weapons against them?

At that time, when the three ring spirit dragon knights had just swooped down, the strange defenders above used their weapons to hit them with some terrifying iron pellets! He and another ring spirit were so frightened that they quickly pulled the reins of the flying dragon monster and ran away when they saw something was wrong!

And the other one was shot down because it ran a little slower, and now it has been shot down by those damn Gondor defenders together with the Dawn Destroyer at the beginning and another unlucky egg that was shot down to attack the trebuchet. His head was cut off and hung above the city gate...

"Then tell me, what should we do now?"

"Look, we only have five Jinglan cars left now, oh no! Now there are four..."

After looking at the heads of the three flying dragon monsters above the city gate and the twisted objects of the three worn-out armors and black cloaks, the half-orc general was filled with resentment.

It's all because of these ring spirits who failed to succeed but failed, they made the half-orcs' high morale almost drop to the bottom!

Above the city gate, the three bloody dragon heads and the armor of the Ring Spirits are a naked insult and provocation to their powerful orc army!

"Hmph! Stop talking nonsense and keep attacking!"

"Don't be afraid of losses. No matter what, you have to climb the city wall, break through the city gate, and attack!"

Looking at the heads of the three flying dragons and the wreckage of the three Ringwraiths hanging from the enemy's wall, the Witch King of Angmar, as the leader, of course felt a little embarrassed. Because of this, the ring spirits are now afraid to fly too low, or fly up to attack the defenders in the city.

Because, the other party has weapons that can injure and kill the ring spirits, the kind of iron rods with flames and thick smoke are extremely powerful! Without knowing how many weapons of that kind the enemy had, they certainly would not dare to easily fly over the city of Minas Tirith.

They are afraid of the kind of weapons that will shine...

As for the life and death of the half-orcs, he didn't care!

Anyway, their army of half-orcs is so large that even if all the one hundred thousand half-orcs here are dead, he can still pull out another hundred thousand or more half-orcs from Mordor.

"But my lord, there are only five... four of our wells left, and those ordinary troops can't rush up! Moreover, that city gate is too strong, we can't break through it at all! "

The battle is still going on, so the remaining four wells can only go up to ordinary troops of orcs or small trolls! On that small platform, it was impossible to break through the shields and spear formations of the Gondor defenders!

Just now, it has seen several small trolls being pushed down the city wall by the defenders of Gondor...

And look at the half-orc corpses piled up in the city gate area, and the defenders on the city gate, they can even calmly aim and shoot arrows or throw stones at the half-orc ramming troops above the city gate. At the city gate alone, at least a thousand orcs have died!

"Hmph! A small ram won't work, so we have something else. Push me up that 'Gron'!"

The Angmar Witch King glanced at the corpses piled high at the city gate with a smirk, and calmly ordered.

Just now, Goron behind them was also bombarded two or three times by the enemy's powerful iron ball weapon. However, Goron is a giant steel battering hammer cast as a whole. He is not afraid of the enemy's bombardment or stone attack, and even set fire to it Don't be afraid!

Because Gron itself has flames!

He believed that their 'Gron' wolf head would definitely be able to destroy the gate of Gondor, definitely!

That thing is simply too big to imagine!

When transporting it, it was pulled by several unicorn beasts, the one-horned big rhinoceros that is a specialty in the southern plains of Mordor! At the same time, there must be a dozen large trolls and countless orcs to push it, otherwise, there is no existence that can have enough stamina to push it for a long time!

And now, it's time for it to go out! As long as they break the gate, they can take the city!

"Wow... what a big hammer..."

On the roof of the Minas Tirith Palace, Anne also saw the huge monster made of steel at a glance: it was actually a steel battering hammer driven by an oversized one-horned rhinoceros and some ogres. ? How much does that have to weigh?

"However, they are really stupid!"

"Even Saruman knows how to play with gunpowder, yet they are still knocking on the door foolishly?!"

Seeing dozens of shells flying towards the door-ramming chariot made entirely of steel, and hitting several of them, it turned out that it only hit a few holes and killed a big rhino pulling the cart?

After seeing this situation, Annie herself didn't know what to say to those half-orcs.

If they have the time and thought to make this thing, wouldn't it be better to do something else?

Let's talk about the other party's ring spirit flying dragon knight first!

In Little Anne's opinion, if the flying dragon carried two gunpowder bombs on its back, flew over Minas Tirith as a bomber, ignited the bomb and threw it down for bombing, the defenders of Gondor would definitely not be able to withstand it. right?

If there is no gunpowder, it doesn't matter, she has other ways!

Then you might as well install some kerosene cans, ignite them and throw them down, directly losing the entire city, which is much better than being stupid enough to try to attack the defenders with sound, claws or long swords, right?

No matter how good a ready-made bomber is, they will not use it. Instead, they will go to great lengths to make a steel ram.
