Chapter 295: Battle of Minas Tirith (1)

"Aragon..."
"In my opinion, it is not a good choice for us to come here! Gandalf is going crazy now. I think we might not need to listen to him anymore?"
The dwarf Jinli held the long-handled battle axe in his hand tightly, and looked at the gloomy cave environment around him, making him feel stunned.
Even if he himself is an adult dwarf who has lived underground for a long time and is very familiar with and adapted to the cave environment, he is really reluctant to come to this land of the dead called Ding Mi!
This place, in Jin Li's eyes, is really too evil!
In fact, this matter has to start a few days ago: They waited for two days in the Golden Forest of Lothlorien, until the Elf King Elron will recast the Nasir holy sword, the Yilan known as the "flame of the West". After the Dier's sword and the Andoril were handed over to Aragorn, Gandalf strongly urged the three of them to come here, hoping that Aragorn could collect the undead army here?
This can be said to be the last struggle of Gandalf, this stubborn old man, he does not allow his plan to fail! Of course, this is also the last chance for Aragon, the thirty-ninth grandson of Esiduo!
Therefore, the old man eagerly hoped that Aragorn could appear on the battlefield of Minas Tirith as the savior of the world, use shocking means to defeat the army of half-orcs, and then try to forcibly take the kingship of the Gondor Kingdom!
Since that Dinese didn't give it, then he had other ways to get Gandalf! There are some things that the Prime Minister of Gondor can't stop.
"Look, this person, before he died, must have suffered some pain..."
The elven prince Legolas, who also followed Aragorn into this land of the dead, didn’t even bother with the complaint of the dwarf Jinli. He just walked to a stone gate and stared curiously at a prominent one lying on the ground. Corpse.
"He was desperate, trying to cut through the gate with a sword and escape? However, he ultimately failed."
Legolas carefully looked at the fully equipped corpse. He was holding the stone door with his hand, and fell helplessly on the cold ground in a strange posture. Judging from his large skeleton, it was obviously A man with a strong body, and he seems to have an extraordinary identity?
This can be seen from the whole body armor that the opponent is still wearing.
Those chain armors are still covered with a beautiful layer of gold, and they also wear a gold pattern helmet on their heads. Even on the gold belt, you can vaguely see a few precious garnets. With the intact harness and corpse on the side, as well as the broken sword, it is not difficult to guess the identity of his nobleman.
"This is an ominous place, the home of the undead... We must be more careful and don't repeat the mistakes of this Rohan nobleman..."
After staring sharply at the surrounding situation for a while, Legolas firmly grasped his bow and was ready to attack at any time.
"You are right, Legolas."
"Judging from his harness and armor style, if I remember correctly, he should be the son of the former king of Medossi Golden Palace, Brig, and the former crown prince of Rohan-Bardo!"
Aragorn, among the three, also walked over and squatted to observe carefully, but he did not dare to touch the corpse rashly, but after observing silently for a while, he stood up and whispered. Sighed:
"May the Xinbei Minghua never fade..."
"The sixteen royal tombs of the Luohan Huqi State are now covered with grass. During such a long time, he was lying alone in front of an unopenable door..."
Where does this door lead? Why does he want to pass so much?
I'm afraid, no one will know anymore...
After murmured to himself for a while, Aragorn felt that no matter why Bardo came here, how similar his experience was to them and others?
Today, they also had to walk into this land of the dead, into the home of the dead.
If the three of them cannot complete the task requested by Gandalf, perhaps, they will end up just like the former Crown Prince Bardo of Rohan: turning into a corpse that nobody cares about, lying lonely somewhere in this place. In the corner, waiting for later discoverers and sighs, right?
"You don't want to know, what is behind this door?!"
Compared with the dead former Crown Prince Rohan, Jin Li is actually more curious. What is behind this closed stone gate? Why did this person try to open it before he died?
Could it be... it contains some valuable things, such as endless gold or other treasures? !
"Take away your curiosity temporarily, Jinli, if I were you, I wouldn't want to open that door..."
"I am here, and I feel a lot of malice! Obviously, the undead here do not welcome the living people who break into here! If we still want to go out alive, we better be vigilant at any time!"
Aragorn, holding a torch in his left hand and Nasir's holy sword in his right hand, gave a serious warning to Jinli, who seemed to want to approach Shimen, and then took the lead and continued to take the lead in the depths of the land of the dead.
"Hurry up and keep up, don't look at the ground, and don't worry about the tentacles of the undead!"
Feeling that there seemed to be a huge platform and the sound of the wind ahead, Aragorn rushed forward quickly.
He needs to continue to explore, find the undead here, and then...and what to do, he doesn't actually know...
"Oh oh... a lot... skeletons..."
It's okay for Aragorn not to remind him. When he said this, Jin Li's body became stiff, and then he lowered his head, while looking at the whole surrounded by human skulls. The road to the corpse.
"Hey! You two guys wait for me!"
After seeing the wizard Legolas disappearing into the fog of the undead with Aragorn, Jin Li was frightened.
Then, he began to sprint across these skulls regardless of the skulls, and constantly tore off the smokey undead arms that were constantly grasping and trying to grab his, and flee for his life. Usually chased after the two.
...
When the three of them finally crossed the land of skulls and several winding corridors, they came to a huge rock building like an underground fortress gate. Here, there is a huge slab-paved platform, and in front of the platform is the abyss, and on the other side, is the gate of this building?
Is this the underground fortress of the mountain people before?
"Who broke into my territory..."
At this time, a misty and vicious voice suddenly sounded in this empty underground square.
When Aragorn, Jinli and Legolas turned around in the direction of the sound for the first time, they discovered that on the originally empty platform, there was actually a crown wearing a head. , The undead figure in ragged clothes?
"Are you the ruler of the undead here? We are the ones who have come to ask your undead to fulfill a promise!"
After discovering an undead who could talk and seemed to be able to communicate, Aragorn was finally relieved.
As long as these undead can still communicate, it is good. He is afraid that the other party cannot communicate, and then he does not know how to order or control the other party. At that time, it is the most terrible thing!
"Ha ha ha... the undead here, living people are not allowed to pass!"
On the translucent face of the undead's skull, the skull-like mouths without the slightest flesh and blood were joined together, making it impossible for the three of them to judge each other's general attitude based on their expressions.
"I'm sure you will allow me to pass!"
Just as Aragorn was about to take two steps forward and talk carefully with this guy who seemed to be the leader of the undead, the other party suddenly opened his mouth and laughed coldly.
Then, after the other party's laughter echoed in this underground cave or mountain fortress, the portals on the cliffs began to light up. What followed was that countless ferocious undead soldiers began to be awakened by the opponent, and quickly stepped on the cliff or mid-air without any footing, directly floating around and quickly surrounded the three of them.
"This way is nowhere..."
"Now, accept your fate of impending death... Then, join us..."
The undead leader who was talking and wearing the crown sneered like that, carrying the long sword in his hand, and rushing towards Aragorn with an unkind expression on his face.
"!?"
Seeing the opponent's movements, Legolas quickly drew out an arrow and made a rapid bow-drawing movement, instantly piercing his elf long arrow directly through the opponent's head!
It's a pity that the precise wizard arrow didn't cause any harm to the undead?
In fact, this long arrow directly penetrated the head of the leading undead and dozens of people behind him! But it was as if it had been shot into the air, without any hindrance, it shot straight into the distance and disappeared into the darkness.
"Ha ha ha..."
Then, the undead leader continued to sneer like that, and rushed up with his long sword high, using his also ghost-like weapon to slash straight down Aragorn's head!
choke!
A metal collision sounded when the long swords intersected. What was beyond the expectation of the undead leader was: the blow it originally thought was a killer, his illusory undead energy sword body, was actually blocked by the enemy's long sword?
"How can this be?!"
At the moment it was stunned, Aragorn took the first two steps, grabbed the opponent's neck with one hand, and placed his holy sword across the opponent's neck.
"I am Aragorn, son of Arazon, the thirty-ninth grandson of Esidor!"
"I'm here to ask you to fulfill your promises and accept my call to fight for me! How about? Tell me, your answer?!"
After threatening the opponent fiercely with the sword, Aragorn pushed the opponent away forcefully and held the holy sword in front of him so that all the undead could see clearly. .
"This is absolutely impossible! Essidor... he is extinct!"
Suddenly seeing this kind of thing, this undead king of mountain people still felt a little unbelievable.
He remembered that the Esiduo who cursed them and made them look like this, hadn't he been extinct long ago? Why now, another inexplicable thirty-ninth grandson appeared? !
This matter actually starts from the second era of Middle-earth.
At that time, a group of humans lived near the Hakusan Mountain in the north of Gondor. They were called the people of the mountains.
They once regarded the demon Lord Sauron as a faith and a god. However, when the Gondor Kingdom was established, due to the strength of Gondor, the king of the mountain people had to lead his men to swear allegiance to the king of Gondor!
They vowed that they would respond to Esiduo's call and participate in the war against Sauron.
However, when the real war came, these mountain people refused the call of King Gondor. They dared not fight with the gods they once believed in, and they dared not fight with the demon Lord Sauron, so they shamefully turned their backs on. Their oath, refused to respond to Esiduo's call!
As a result, Esiduo, who became ashamed and furious, used the power of the holy sword and the rules of Middle-earth to curse the opponent in turn with the power of the divine contract.
Regarding this matter, Esiduo once said: If the mountain people do not fulfill their promise, they will never rest, and this curse will continue until the other party is willing to fulfill their vow!
As a result, those mountain people who hid in the mountains and did not dare to confront Sauron, as time passed, they really gradually became dead because of the curse of Esiduo, and the country died because of it.
Even their souls have been wandering in Middle-earth. The coldness and loneliness of their hands will never be free...
"However, the truth is not!"
"Now, look at me, look at the Nasir holy sword in my hand, and look at the double snake ring in my hand!"
After showing his identity, Aragorn fiercely threatened the undead leader and some seemingly high-level undead with the holy sword in his hand.
"I command you: Heed my call, regain your honor, and fight for me! And I will see you fulfill your promise and lift the curse on you!"
"..."

"Woo~! Woo~!"
A sharp and long-distance terror horn sounded. When the smoke from the Doomsday volcano completely covered the sun, then, when the shadows began to envelop the entire Minas Tirith, those who had been hiding in Oss The army of half-orcs in the western city of Guilias, finally no longer afraid of the sun that made them uncomfortable, began to walk out of the ruins of the city grandiosely, and slowly pushed towards the capital of Gondor after the formation.
"Woo~! Woo~!"
The stern sound of the horn continued, and the Orcs phalanx began to follow the horn's prompts, shouting various chaotic slogans, and marching forward step by step.
A large square formation of half-orcs with at least thousands of people, a group of tall Austrian black armor trolls, and those towering and huge, being pushed by several giant trolls and countless orcs, even better than Mina The giant ladder truck and well rails, which are even higher than the city wall of Stiris, were slowly pushing towards the city wall at the forefront of the Orcs phalanx.
If you look closely, the defenders of Gondor will also find that in the middle of the Orc Legion, there is a huge and hideous siege weapon, that terrifying city gate hammer-Goron!
Of course, in addition to the nearly 100,000 half-orcs on the ground, there are several ring spirit dragon knights flying and hovering above the half-orcs in the sky. They are monitoring and controlling the half-orcs. And is ready to launch an air attack on the capital of Gondor at any time.
"Humph……"
"Faramor! Go down right away and start the battle at the front of the city. Remember your mission: to hold the wall to the greatest extent possible and drag the enemy! You must not let them invade too quickly!"
In the Gondor Royal Courtyard at the top of Minas Tirith, and the viewing platform in front of the withered sacred white tree, the regent of Gondor, Dineth II, who seems to have fully recovered , Just wearing a tight-fitting black dress, like an old lion, coldly looking at the huge army of half-orcs with close to 100,000 people besides Minas Tirith.
However, at this time, he was not really worried.
Because the main force of the United Kingdom of Alicia has reached the wilderness in the northern part of Minas Tirith, it will not take long for them to reach the battlefield soon.
Therefore, Dineser himself knew that in their city, only a short period of time would be enough!
Because of this, he can safely let his only remaining son Faramo go below the front line. This battle, in his opinion, should not be too fierce. After all, when the main force of the United Kingdom arrives, at that time, it will be a truly and cruel battle!
And during the attack and defense battle at the head of the city, their strong enemy forces could not be stretched out, on the contrary, the defenders in the city had a big advantage.
"Yes, father!"
After receiving the order, Faramo was not verbose. After paying a respectful salute, he turned around and put on his swan-winged generals helmet, and greeted a group of walking swan knights along the stairs to the city head below Trot away.
They have been waiting for this day for a long time! When they returned to Minas Tirith from Isinger's red-robed mage tower through a magical teleportation spell a few days ago, they have been nervously preparing for the defense of the city.
Although it was definitely too late to order reinforcements in the rear city, they still recruited enough militiamen in the city and prepared various fortifications and supplies.
By now, in this huge city of Minas Tirith, the capital of Gondor, in addition to the nearly 20,000 defenders of Gondor who were put together in an emergency, there are also teleports opened by the red-robed witch master using supreme mana. A full fifty large-caliber cannons of the "Nemesis" were sent over, as well as three hundred "Wrath of the Goddess" gunners who were responsible for protecting the cannons led by General Lenas of the Second Army.
At this moment, they are in the royal garden behind the Regent King Dinese, staying on the artillery positions they have set up a long time ago, and can launch shelling at the enemy at any time!
For these cannons, there is simply no place higher than this royal courtyard platform garden and more suitable for arranging artillery positions! The location is high here, the vision is far, and there is not much to worry about the enemy's counterattack?
"Excuse me, General Renas, can your cannon deal with those flying Ring Knights?"
After watching the enemy’s dynamics for a while, Dineser looked a little worried at the young and a bit too young female General Renas, who was standing beside him and watching the enemy’s situation with him, and cautiously Asked.
Now, if the Orcs Legion doesn’t have those ring spirits, then Dineser is sure to hold Minas Tirith for at least a few days, and he can even hold on until his garrison is exhausted or the main force of the United Kingdom arrives. Join the station!
After all, this Minas Tirith is a fortress with layers of defense. The streets and gates that surround the mountain are solid barriers that can consume the vital power of the orcs to the maximum!
It is a pity that those ring spirits, those flying monsters, their deterrence to the defenders is too great! When they were in the western city of Osgilias, they had already suffered the great loss of those ring spirits in Gondor! The scream of the opponent and the huge figure that just flew by in the air were really a serious challenge to the morale of the defenders!
Therefore, he was a little worried, he was worried that the ring spirits would put tremendous pressure on his side, which would lead to the premature defeat of the line of defense! In no way, he can only pin his hopes on the powerful new weapons behind him.
Originally, there was actually a better choice to deal with those ring spirits. The best choice was the little red-robed witch who was sitting on the roof of the palace and was watching a show there!
It is said that those ring spirits have all been killed by her before? It's just that they have been resurrected by the Demon Lord Sauron again recently?
What makes Dineser helpless is: I don’t know why, that powerful little witch, the other side does not seem to be ready to intervene in this war, and the other side also said that the power of Minas Tirith is enough to deal with. Those ring spirits?
Thinking about it, he thought that the other party was referring to the ferocious artillery units behind them, so Dinese asked the standing female general next to him.
"Haha! Gondor's regent, you can really be joking!"
Hearing this outrageous thought of the other party, Lenas laughed straight out of joy.
Use the cannon to fight the flying ring spirit? Fortunately, he can come up with such a nonsensical way!
You know, the Cannon of Nemesis is actually best used to attack fixed targets, such as enemy city gates or strong fortresses like fortresses, but even so, its hit rate is less than It's only ten percent.
For example: when you want to bomb the enemy's city gate, maybe it hit the enemy's city wall?
Of course, at some point, they can also be used to attack the enemy's large-scale army formations, consuming the enemy's vitality and morale! For example, during the Battle of Saint Helm Valley, the phalanx of the strong orcs and the large phalanx of the orc legions nowadays, when the enemy is in a dense state, there is no need for accuracy. Said it could kill a hundred or eighty of them?
If you change to a single target, the effect is a little bit small...
When replaced by an enemy infantry, even if the enemy is standing still at a distance, dealing with such a small target, even if they are bombarded with hundreds of shells, they may not be able to hit!
So, let alone those ring spirit knights flying fast in the sky, firstly, their artillery muzzle is not raised, and secondly, they must not be able to target those ring spirits that fly extremely fast.
"Our cannons have basically no deterrence against single small targets! They can only deal with large targets like city walls and gates on the ground!"
"Or, like those giant siege trucks of those half-orcs and those tall pits?"
It was funny, but Lenas still explained to the regent who had too much expectations.
"As for those ring spirits... if they dare to fly over, I believe that our Musketeers will definitely teach them a profound lesson!"
This is the reason why Lenas did not send the Musketeers to the city.
She needs to arrange the Musketeers here. If Jie Ling dares to fly over and make trouble after the war, she will definitely let the Musketeers shoot into the air! Moreover, she felt that those Yalong's skins were definitely not harder than the trolls, right?
You must know that the'Goddess' Fury' Mini rifle can kill an unprotected troll within a hundred yards!
"So...that's good!"
Now that there is a way to guard against the spirits, Dineser can only temporarily relieved and nodded, which is at least much better than no way.
"Crack? I said, when do you have to wait? Hurry up and shoot! Look, they will be near the city wall soon!"
At this time, holding her little bear in her arms, she was on the top of the palace's castle. She felt a little impatient with some kind of nut red witch in her hand, so she shouted at the artillery in the courtyard. .
"Yes! Yes!"
Seeing that the little witch had already begun to urge, Renas didn't dare to delay any longer. After responding, he walked quickly back to the position of the artillery behind and began to arrange shelling missions on them.
...
"Hurry up! You chopsticks, hurry up and push hard!"
In the army of half-orcs, a half-orc general who is riding on a wolf with a severely twisted face and one hand is watching his army triumphantly, and scolds the lazy half-orcs under his opponent from time to time.
It needs to stare at these lazy guys, and let them quickly push the more than a dozen giant well rails with their own stairs to the side of the city wall of Minas Tirith, and then, when they lower the guard wall of the well rail and jam the city wall At that time, its army of half-orcs could continuously attack the city wall through the steel well fence.
"Hurry up! Push hard!"
With a whip, a bloodstain was drawn from a troll who wanted to be lazy, and then it turned the direction of the sagittarius and prepared to go to the position of the center of the army, directing the stupid and lazy guys to hit Minas. The huge steel gate of Tirith.
On the wall number, but if they rely on the wall alone, it is estimated that they will not be easy to attack this huge human city! Therefore, it is better to break the gate directly.
"what's the situation?!"
At this time, just as it was in the gap of the large army, commanding the wolves to sway to the middle position step by step, it suddenly discovered: at the top of the city of Minas Tirith, it seems to be rushing. Lots of small black spots? Moreover, those black spots seemed to make thunderous rumbling noises at the same time?
Then it raised its head in confusion.
"What are those things?!"
From it, those small black spots seem to be small stones thrown by a trebuchet?
But why do they seem to be so fast? Can you still make a thunderous rumble? This makes it feel very puzzled!
Then, before it could react, the rumbling sound quickly moved from far to near, and quickly plunged into the vicinity of the pit trucks, UU reading www.uukanshu.com and in the Orcs Legion After dozens of hideous blood lines were plowed out of the large square, a few'little rocks' were lucky enough to hit their giant pit truck, causing the behemoth to break and collapse on the spot. He also smashed a lot of Orcs soldiers around.
"..."
What is it, it doesn’t look very big, why is it so terrifying?
Silently looking at a small rock that just happened to roll over to him and lost its kinetic energy, the half-orc general found out: This is actually just an iron ball with a big head?
After looking at the terrifying effects of the enemy's attack in its own troops, it turned its head again in doubt and looked at the top of Minas Tirith. If it had read it correctly, it seemed... …Those little black iron were dropped from the top?
Okay, please forgive the barren adjective in the head of this half-orc general, because, apart from knowing that the catapult can throw stones and irons, it really can't imagine what is it that can hold this heavy iron head Shake it off?
"Uh……"
Before the orc general could respond, the attack just now seemed to be a signal, and more huge stones were sent out by the large catapults in Minas Tirith. At this moment , In the sky, there was a rain of large and small stones...
"Hey~!!!"
At this time, without the need for the half-orc general to issue orders, the ring spirit flying dragon knights hovering over the troops turned their mounts one after another, and flew toward the head of Minas Tirith!
At the same time, one of their ring spirits, after continuously circling and rising, swooped directly towards the highest point of Minas Tirith, where the black iron ball had just been shot...
