Chapter 5086: 5089 [Rohan reinforcements have arrived]

As the orcs cheered, Gron's battering ram finally arrived at the gate of Minas Tirith.

Then the four ogres worked together to pull the suspended Grond backwards, and then let go, and Grond's battering ram immediately rushed towards the city gate.

There was a loud bang, and the gate of Minas Tirith was hit hard, and even the city wall shook.

This shows how powerful Grond's battering ram is.

The defenders of Gondor fell into deep despair.

Boom, boom, boom!

As Grond continued to strike, there was a loud bang, and the gate of Minas Tirith was finally breached.

Then a large number of orcs rushed into the city and began to slaughter innocent citizens.

Minas Tirith was in a life-and-death situation.

"Hold on, hold on, hold on!" Boromir shouted loudly while fighting bravely, "Gondor warriors, do not be afraid, do not be discouraged, reinforcements will arrive soon!"

He personally led his warriors to stop the orcs' attack, but the number of Gondor's defenders was too small.

However, the orc army outside the city was like a tide. As soon as you stop one wave, the next wave will come. It seems endless and there is no telling when it will end.

Xiang Nan also gave the defenders layer upon layer of buffs, including defense shields and strength auras, to ensure their combat effectiveness and morale.

Only in this way can we withstand the attacks from dawn to dusk.

But even so, reinforcements were slow to arrive, and Gondor was isolated and helpless, making the people increasingly helpless.

……

Just when people were feeling panic-stricken and helpless, they heard another shrill scream from the sky.

"It's the Ringwraiths, they're coming again~" people shouted in horror.

The Ringwraiths themselves are terrifying, and the fallen beasts under their mounts are war machines cultivated by Sauron. Their screams are equally terrifying.

Therefore, when the two of them were combined, the fear they caused was even greater. Just a few screams were enough to scare people out of their wits, making the situation even more chaotic.

Seeing this, Xiang Nan quickly threw lightning at the Ringwraiths.

Click, click, click~
Three bolts of lightning streaked across the sky, scaring the Ringwraiths away.

But even so, the panic caused by the Ringwraiths had already taken effect. Many citizens lost their fighting spirit and fled in panic, making the city of Minas Tirith even more chaotic.

"Oh my God, it's useless. Just commit suicide. At least dying in my own hands will give me more self-dignity than dying in the hands of orcs." Denethor, who had already awakened, muttered to himself in despair after seeing the current situation in the city.

Now the city gates have been breached by the orcs, and tens of thousands of orcs have poured into the city. It won't be long before they break through the gates and reach the palace on the seventh floor of Minas Tirith.

By then, all people will be slaughtered and everything will be destroyed.

Rather than being humiliated by others, it is better to choose suicide now while there is still time. In the other world, there is still a chance to face the kings of Gondor and ancestors.

Therefore, Denethor then ordered his guards to build him a bonfire, so that he could burn himself, thus ending his life and protecting his body from being humiliated by his enemies.

And even then the guards obeyed him, and made a pyre for him, and Denethor was covered with oil.

But he did not notice that a flower had miraculously grown on the formerly dry Holy White Tree of Gondor.

… Then Denethor bade them all kindle a fire, and the guards obeyed his command and kindled the pile of wood.

The woodpile was soon filled with fire, and the fire soon devoured Denethor.

The last regent of Gondor died as a result.

But at the same time, at dawn in the east, with the sound of trumpets, a large group of Rohan cavalry arrived.
"Eomer, lead the troops to the left. Gamling, follow the king's standard to the center. Grimbur, your troops to the right! Forward! Do not fear the darkness! Hold your heads high, knights of King Théoden!

Cut off the spears, smash the shields, fight today, and stain the sand with blood! Forward! Forward! Forward! Towards destruction! Towards the end of the world! Fight with blood! Fight with blood! Fight with blood!"

King Theoden gave a passionate speech in front of the battle line, which aroused the fighting spirit of all the Rohan cavalrymen. Then they urged their horses and rushed towards the orc army without hesitation, even though they would face death.

Seeing this, Xiang Nan immediately waved his hand.

In an instant, all the charging Rohan warriors were wrapped in a layer of shield with amazing defense.

So when they rushed towards the army of Orcs, even though the Orcs had raised their spears and shot their arrows, neither the arrows nor the spears could hurt them.

This allowed the cavalry of Rohan to charge into the Orc army, break their formation, and chop off their heads...

For a time, the Orc army suffered heavy losses under the impact of the Rohan cavalry.

This is actually quite normal.

In ancient times, the combat effectiveness of cavalry was far superior to that of infantry. Especially today's Rohan cavalry, which can be called heavy cavalry, naturally has an advantage when facing the orc army.

Seeing this, the Gondor soldiers, who had been fighting for a day and a night and were almost exhausted, were shocked by the arrival of the Rohan cavalry, thinking that the balance of victory was finally tilting towards them.

……

But just as the Rohan cavalry were killing everywhere and were about to annihilate the entire Orc army, suddenly a sharp howl was heard from afar.

Everyone looked outside following the sound and were immediately shocked to see hundreds of huge beasts about three meters tall attacking the Rohan cavalry.

The Rohan cavalry was already considered brave and could be called the tanks of the cold weapon era, but these behemoths were bigger and stronger than the Rohan cavalry. They were like a moving hill, emitting a full sense of oppression.

"It's a mammoth war elephant~"

“Oh my god~”

"The end is here!"

Mammoths are giant war beasts domesticated by humans in the Harad region south of Gondor. They are huge in size, with thick skin and flesh, and weigh up to two or three tons. Once they start running, almost nothing can stop them.

Especially the mammoths have several meters long tusks on their heads, like natural spears, with amazing killing power. Therefore, it can be said that the mammoths are real heavy tanks in the cold weapon era. Even the Rohan cavalry are dwarfs in front of them.

Sure enough, these mammoth war elephants rushed into the Rohan cavalry and swept across, breaking up the Rohan cavalry's formation.

The most important thing about cavalry charge is formation.

Therefore, only by attacking together can they demonstrate their greatest power.

Once the cavalry was left alone and surrounded by the orcs, they would be easily killed.

Therefore, seeing the mammoth war elephants so ferocious, King Theoden could only shout, "Reorganize the formation, reorganize the formation, prepare for a counterattack~"

But even so, facing the attack of the mammoth war elephants, Rohan's cavalry still suffered heavy losses. After all, the shield blessed by Xiang Nan can only guarantee temporary protection, not permanent protection.
