The riding and chopping simulator of the Lord of the Rings
Chapter 187 Siege Battle
The day is gradually disappearing from the west, but today's night is not as clear as yesterday's. At this time, the bright moon has just risen, and the stars are hidden in one after another of dark clouds.
On the low hillside outside the city, Angmar, with a steel sword in one hand and a meteor hammer in one hand, rode a tall black horse exuding an evil aura, staring at Pelakir not far away with terrifying eyes.
There was anger in his cruel and dirty heart, because the ferocious giant beast stabbed by Angelimir could not fully recover in just one day.
At the very least, it is impossible for him to command the battle tonight from the sky.
Besides this incident, what made Angmar even more unhappy was that the flag representing the Dom Aros family was erected on the top of the city of Pelakir this afternoon.
This meant that the human prince who was shot by him did not die. Even in the evening, Angmar saw the old man patrolling the city wall, encouraging the human soldiers around him.
This made Angmar's anger ignite to the extreme.
However, Angelimir was not as healthy as he appeared, as he was dying.
Even though he was wearing well-made armor and had the blood of Silvan elves, Angmar's heavy blow still caused fatal damage to the old man.
Being able to appear on the top of the city in the afternoon to encourage all the soldiers is just the last flashback.
Angelimir, who returned to the inner city of Pelakir, fell into a coma again, and before coma, entrusted all the things in the city to the commander of the royal navy, Berelah.
This is a vigorous middle-aged man over fifty, with dark skin and a pair of weather-beaten eyes.
The Berelach family was not very prominent in the Kingdom of Gondor before. Their family lived in Los Alnach for generations, where they owned a vast and beautiful land and were once a wealthy manor owner.
That is to say, it was about 2700 in the third era that his ancestors officially joined the royal navy of Gondor.
And in the war with the Umbar pirates in 2758, he made great contributions, and was favored by Berigand, the prime minister of Gondor at that time, and became a high-ranking official in the navy in one fell swoop.
Since then, the Berrylach family has always enjoyed a very high reputation in the navy, and has been loyal to the family of the prime minister who governs Gondor.
Berilach also has the blood of the Númenoreans, and he is also the lord of Pelakir, but not the lord.
Due to the extremely special status of this kind of city, it is one of the oldest and most important ports in the Kingdom of Gondor, and many kings have built palaces here, so this seaport city is directly under the jurisdiction of Minas Tirith.
It is the territory directly under the royal family.
In the fierce battle last night, it was Berelah who gave the order to rescue the city when the prince led the army to break through, and successfully rescued part of the friendly army from the enemy's siege.
At this time, he looked at the enemy army gathered outside the city, and his heart was very heavy, especially when several catapults with hideous appearances were erected, the pressure in his heart reached its peak.
After all, the city wall of Pelakir is not as strong as Minas Tirith, and it may still collapse under the bombardment of the trebuchet.
And those Uruk who are as busy as ants, the densely packed trenches that have been dug outside the city within a stone's throw, are not too threatening compared to the huge machinery.
However, all of this cannot be compared with that black shadow not far away.
Berelach knew that it was the shadow of despair, the spear in the hands of evil, and the head of the Nazgul known as the Black Commander in the Kingdom of Gondor.
The name alone is enough to make people feel vigilant, let alone standing outside the city alive and directing the battle.
The night was getting darker, and the evil outside the city had accumulated enough to satisfy Angmar.
Afterwards, the leader of Nazgul who was sitting on the horse slowly raised the steel sword in his hand and pointed it at Pelakir in front of him.
"Boom" "Boom" "Boom" "Boom"
With the sound of the drums, the attack of the orcs officially began at this moment, and the pirates in the river also cooperated with the army of the orcs, and became entangled with the ships of the royal navy.
The first ones to attack Pelakir were of course the huge machines that had been built. However, unlike Berelach's worries, the enemy did not waste ammunition on the solid city walls.
The projectiles fired by the trebuchet fell directly into the urban area behind the high wall amidst the howling sound.
These projectiles were processed by Angmar's secret method, and when they landed, they exploded directly.
Groups of flames began to burn on the wooden buildings in the city. Amidst the thick smoke, the city was in chaos. Shouts and screams rang out over Pelakir.
The chaos didn't last long. Under the leadership of the officials in the city, a large number of residents began to leave their shelters and join in the fire fighting.
Fortunately, Pelakir is a port city close to the Anduin River, and the streets are full of slotted water canals, which brings convenience to the fire fighting work at this time.
However, the second wave of enemy trebuchet attacks came soon, and the weapons fired by the enemy this time were not so easily accepted by the residents.
For the enemy sent in hundreds of pale heads.
Although they are small in size, they are extremely lethal. After being baptized by a wave of flames, the residents of the city nervously looked at these terrifying things scattered everywhere, either screaming or crying bitterly.
The owners of those heads suffered great terror before they died, and their terrified expressions just froze on their pale faces.
And the evil mark, the lidless magic eye, is printed on every head.
How can the residents of the city not be sad and afraid when they see such a horrible thing?
And this way of attacking the mind is one of the most commonly used strategies by the Witch King of Angmar when he sieges the city.
First use flames to lure the residents out of their hiding places, put them in a state of tension, and then project their heads to suppress the will of humans to resist, so that fear can be rooted in the hearts of humans to maximize the effect.
When sorrow and fear began to spread in Pelakir, the general attack of the orcs also began.
Following the third wave of the trebuchet launch, a large number of Snaga jumped into the trenches dug in advance, carrying the ladders they had made in a hurry.
Like long black dragons, they approached the city wall of Pelakir along the trenches dug in advance.
The human guards on the city wall immediately began to attack the enemy head-on when they discovered that the enemy had entered their attack range.
A large number of arrows flashed coldly and fell towards the top of Snaga's head. Some were blocked by the slopes on both sides of the ditch, while some accurately hit the vital points of the orcs, causing their dead bodies to explode in the ditch. There was a commotion in the formation, so as to delay the speed of the enemy's approach to the city wall.
But the attacking Snagas quickly threw the dead or injured comrades who could not move out of the trench.
Some even put the corpses of the same kind directly on the ladder to block the arrows falling on their heads.
Although their progress was hindered, they did not stop.
At this time, the target of the trebuchet began to change, and the projectiles that would cause fire began to be fired towards the city wall.
As the accuracy of the trebuchet was not high, one of the five or six projectiles barely fell into the city wall.
While causing the bombardment, the bursting flames also splashed on the guards.
The fiery flame instantly ignited the guard's clothes, and the burning pain made these burning humans howl in pain.
No matter how firm the will is, human beings who can maintain their rationality under the flames are, after all, very few existences.
All of a sudden, under the influence of the flames, the guards on the city wall began to slow down their shooting speed at the enemy.
However, most of the residents in the city are still affected by fear and panic, and they are indifferent to what happened around them. Only a few people with firm minds reacted quickly to the official's call, holding a container of water and rushing up The city walls, help the soldiers who guard the walls, put out the burning flames.
And the half-orc archer troops, after the catapults were launched, began to hold a wooden cover that could block the bows and arrows, and approached the city wall.
There is no way, the average Snaga can't draw a long bow with a long range, and most of the Uruk in the army led by Angmar are good at close combat.
At this time, the ballista that was not affected by the flames on the city wall also found a target worthy of its own shot.
Thick crossbow bolts shot directly from the city wall, and while smashing the enemy's cover, they also killed a whole string of Snaga.
A round of salvo took away dozens of dirty lives.
Its terrifying lethality even stopped the surrounding orcs from moving forward.
Just as the human guards seized the time to rewind the ballista.
The drums urging the goblins to attack grew louder.
"Boom" "Boom" "Boom"
An entire army composed of Uruk began to approach the city wall at a neat pace.
They wore full armor, holding a strange-shaped machete suitable for close combat in their right hand, and a round wooden shield tied to their left arm.
And the symbol of the Dark Lord is engraved on it.
With the departure of the Uruk army, the Snaga who were still stagnant, suddenly accelerated their pace of attack.
If they were overtaken by Uruk, who set out later, they would be greeted with a ruthless knife. Their death might be worse than being shot. .
At this time, the Snagas carrying the ladder and running along the ditch had reached the end of the ditch.
In front of them was a three-meter open space, plus a moat several meters long.
After brief preparations, a dozen or so Snaga squads carrying ladders rushed out of the trench amidst bursts of shouting and whipping, and rushed towards the moat.
And this kind of behavior will naturally be paid close attention to by the human guards on the city wall, densely packed arrows hit the dozen or so teams, nailing all the Snaga carrying the ladder to the ground.
With the death of these Snaga, a large number of half-orcs rushed out of the trench again, and this time it was not the short and crooked Snaga, but the well-equipped Uruk.
Holding the round shield in one hand, they lifted the ladder under their feet with the other and rushed towards the city wall. With their lives and the round shield and armor they equipped, they sent the ladder to the side of the moat.
Soon, they were wiped out again.
And the archers made up of Snaga, against the rain of arrows and thick arrows, were already close enough to launch an attack.
Although they left countless corpses along the way, there will always be enough Snaga in the invisible half-orc phalanx behind them in the dark night, picking up the bows and arrows on the ground, and adding them to their team .
When the half-orc archers began to shoot each other with the human guards on the wall of Pelakir, the half-orc army in the trench finally used the cover of the archers to set up a short but wide ladder on the ground. on the edge of the moat.
Immediately afterwards, Snaga, who held a large number of wooden boards, laid the wooden boards on the ladder against the rain of arrows that was sparser than before.
Although the ladder was pushed into the water by the weight of the planks, the road to the city wall was opened at this time.
At this moment, almost all the half-orcs who were nested in the trench rushed out of it. They carried a long ladder and approached the city wall along the simple wooden bridge.
A half-orc carrying the ladder died, and another half-orc came back to take his place and continued to approach the city wall.
After coming to the city wall, he tried to put the ladder on the high city wall.
The eyes of these half-orcs who spared their lives all had a different red light in their eyes.
At this time, the Witch King of Angmar, who had been observing the entire battlefield, put down the steel sword in his right hand that was glowing red and black with satisfaction, and let out a terrifying scream.
The Uruk army that had already set off moved faster.
At this moment, the half-orcs who had already put the ladder on the city wall suffered a heavy blow.
Because countless stones and shovels flew down from the city wall of Pelakir, directly smashing all the orcs below the city wall to death.
Berelach, who was originally commanding the battle on the city wall, was keenly aware of the situation of the residents in the city, so he walked down the city wall himself, encouraging the residents to resist the enemy's confidence.
Then he led them up the city wall and joined the team resisting the enemy's aggression.
There are still too few of them who can use weapons, and those with a little combat experience have been conscripted into the army long ago, but it is still possible to let them lift stones and logs at the enemy.
As the half-orcs under the city wall were killed and injured, most of the ladders on the city wall were pushed down with difficulty. This kind of siege equipment was built with iron hooks that could catch stones and needed to be smashed with a hammer. to be pushed down.
Another small part of the ladder was too late to be pushed down, because those Uruks who quickened their pace had already reached the bottom of the city wall.
The siege battle has now reached the most tragic first stage.
And following Angmar's screams, dozens of mountain trolls emerged from the half-orc phalanx.
They raised their heads and roared angrily, and then rushed towards the south gate of Pelakir with their thick thighs.
Seeing the dozens of trolls rushing towards him, Berelach's eyes instantly became serious.
If we talk about the previous situation, he still has certain confidence that he can hold on to the city, but with the appearance of the ogre, his confidence has also been shaken.
It's just that Berilach still has no intention of abandoning the city and fleeing. He swung the mace in his hand and smashed to death an Uruk that had climbed up to the top of the city. Those big guys rushing over."
And at this moment, an army composed of humans appeared in the west of the entire battlefield.
After approaching the battlefield, a small number of cavalry directly clenched their lances and rushed towards the dozens of trolls.
And a large number of infantry rushed to Uruk gathered under the city wall.
Only the soldiers who rushed to the front had complete armor and high-quality weapons.
Most of those who followed were militiamen with crude weapons.
And it was the lord of Lamedon who led them here.
"Fearless" Antonis.

On the low hillside outside the city, Angmar, with a steel sword in one hand and a meteor hammer in one hand, rode a tall black horse exuding an evil aura, staring at Pelakir not far away with terrifying eyes.
There was anger in his cruel and dirty heart, because the ferocious giant beast stabbed by Angelimir could not fully recover in just one day.

This meant that the human prince who was shot by him did not die. Even in the evening, Angmar saw the old man patrolling the city wall, encouraging the human soldiers around him.
This made Angmar's anger ignite to the extreme.
However, Angelimir was not as healthy as he appeared, as he was dying.
Even though he was wearing well-made armor and had the blood of Silvan elves, Angmar's heavy blow still caused fatal damage to the old man.
Being able to appear on the top of the city in the afternoon to encourage all the soldiers is just the last flashback.
Angelimir, who returned to the inner city of Pelakir, fell into a coma again, and before coma, entrusted all the things in the city to the commander of the royal navy, Berelah.
This is a vigorous middle-aged man over fifty, with dark skin and a pair of weather-beaten eyes.

However, all of this cannot be compared with that black shadow not far away.
Berelach knew that it was the shadow of despair, the spear in the hands of evil, and the head of the Nazgul known as the Black Commander in the Kingdom of Gondor.
The name alone is enough to make people feel vigilant, let alone standing outside the city alive and directing the battle.
The night was getting darker, and the evil outside the city had accumulated enough to satisfy Angmar.
Afterwards, the leader of Nazgul who was sitting on the horse slowly raised the steel sword in his hand and pointed it at Pelakir in front of him.
"Boom" "Boom" "Boom" "Boom"

If they were overtaken by Uruk, who set out later, they would be greeted with a ruthless knife. Their death might be worse than being shot. .
At this time, the Snagas carrying the ladder and running along the ditch had reached the end of the ditch.
In front of them was a three-meter open space, plus a moat several meters long.
