Two Hundred and Ninetieth Chapters Rohan War (9)
"Roar~!!!"
On the Helm's Deep Grassland battlefield, where black and red stagnant blood flowed, a strong orc whose left arm was broken by a bullet was holding on to his large hooked knife, showing ferocious fangs and a full face. The bloodstains let out bursts of screaming roars towards the sky.
Although it didn't understand what the enemy had done, it didn't admit defeat!
The name of this strong orc is Zagrag, and he barely managed to crawl out from a pile of corpses just now, and then, he was surprised and saddened to find that: just now their large army of strong orcs with nearly 10,000 people, those super The armored phalanx of spears and the phalanx of swords and shields all fell here, in this huge area about 200 to 800 yards away from the front of the enemy formation.
"Roar~!!!"
Zagrag couldn't remember exactly what happened just now, the roar was still going on...
It was originally a team leader of the sword and shield phalanx, in charge of a total of one hundred and fifty-five strong orc sword shield and iron armor soldiers under it. It itself is the strongest among their team of orcs, so, of course, it became the team officer and is responsible for leading its own team in this battle, and is the first to walk at the forefront of its team!
Prior to this, when attacking the Horn Fort, Zagerag's team fell to the rear, so they were not assigned any combat missions. Because of this, they also failed to snatch any This made them very dissatisfied who had been marching for several days, but could only eat those maggot-infested black bread!
However, fortunately, just when they were about to try their best to squeeze into the high wall of the Horn Fort, to see if they could find one or two corpses from the surrounding ruins to eat and supplement some meat, in their rear, unexpectedly Come waves of unfamiliar horns?
Then Zagerag was surprised to find: in the direction of the entrance of Helm's Deep, there is a group of stupid human soldiers blocking their back path? Therefore, Zagrag, together with other strong beasts, was ordered to attack the opponent's ridiculously sparse formation and resolutely destroy those stupid enemies!
It didn't take much time for them to form a team outside the wall of the Horn Fort, and after that, they couldn't wait to press towards the valley entrance!
While marching, Zagrag yelled at his subordinates excitedly, and at the same time he did not forget to explain to them: later on, no matter what, they will find time to grab a few enemy corpses for their team, a little Improve the poor army food of late!
Since the enemy didn't seem strong, in order to get enough benefits, Zagelag specially won a front position for his team, and it has always been complacent about its wise decision.
At the beginning, Zagrag felt very strange, because when their large army gradually approached the strange human army at a distance of four or five hundred yards, the opponent still did not move at all, and was still fiddling. Looking at that strange...iron rod in their hands?
Although, Zagrag himself felt a little puzzled, wondering what the new group of enemies with no armor and no sharp blades wanted to do? However, this does not weaken its longing for the upcoming meat and killing!
So when their vanguard came within three hundred yards of the enemy, Zagerag raised his shield excitedly and shouted loudly, because the distance is now very close, it intends to let Together with him, his subordinates began to speed up and charge, directly crushing those little human girls who were heading not far away!
At that time, the other strong orc phalanx walking in the front row did the same thing. They only needed 20 or 30 breaths to rush over a distance of 300 yards, and then smashed their formation severely. , cut off their heads, and then eat them?
That's why they strong orcs are better. They don't need to waste time cleaning the battlefield and burying or burning corpses like those stupid humans.
Their approach is generally that the winning party directly eats the enemy!
Even if it is the same kind that died on one's own side, it is - eat it! So, it's not unreasonable that the morale of the orcs is relatively high. At least, they don't need to feel sad for the death of their companions at all, but are happy? Because, the companions who died in battle meant that after the battle, they would have an extra source of meat and one less competitor to share?
However, what Zagrag may never imagine is that the final result is the scene in front of him?
It still remembers that when it raised its shield high and began to shout loudly to boost morale and prepare to accelerate the charge, the monsters on the opposite side, the first row of their five-row ribbon-shaped battle line, unexpectedly He raised the iron rod in his hand towards them?
Then, when bursts of flames and thick smoke emanated from the iron rod in the opponent's hand, Zagrag heard the ensuing explosion, and found that his left arm and shield were directly on the ground. Was kicked out? Then, he felt as if something rubbed against its head armor, causing it to go black for an instant, and then fell down...
"no no!!!"
Finally, when Zagerag regained consciousness and came to his senses, and tried to crawl out from the pile of corpses with his remaining hand, he only found the scene in front of him: their orcs, countless of them dressed in black The corpses of the plate armor all lay here silently, on the wilderness at the mouth of Helm's Deep...
It looked around just now. At this time, the corpses of their companions who were supposed to be the closest to the enemy were still about two hundred yards away, and more of them fell on the ground with their backs to the enemy. In the area of one hundred to eight hundred yards!
Obviously, when they charged before, they failed to reach the front of the enemy's formation, and they were already disintegrated... They shamefully gave their backs to the enemy...
"Kill you! Zagrag will kill you!"
After the great fear and grief, what followed was that endless madness!
"Kill you... eat you..."
Therefore, Zagerag grabbed a large pointed knife on the ground with his only remaining right hand, his face was covered with blood, he growled ferociously while roaring like a beast, and Towards the distance, the formation of the enemies who seemed to have not dissipated the gunpowder smoke, walked over step by step...
"..."
The battle had been over for a long time, and Queen Ofina, who was standing in front of the battle on a unicorn, did not order to clean up the battlefield, because there were more enemies in the distance!
Therefore, they stood in their respective positions in a leisurely manner, began to urgently reload or check their weapons, and looked at the corpses of the nearly 10,000 strong orc troops who had been defeated by them.
Except for a small number of lucky ghosts who fell behind and managed to escape back to the Horn Fort, the other orcs who launched the attack all fell down here...
Occasionally, three or two orcs got up from the pile of corpses and tried to escape the wounded, but they were all accurately named and killed one by one by their sharpshooters, and they did not escape very far.
However, it was the first time that Ofina saw that the strong orc in front of her, not only did not run away after being seriously injured, but dared to copy the guy and walk towards her battle line step by step?
This made her feel a little interested, so she didn't order her men to shoot, but let the other party walk within the two hundred yards area.
"Lend me your weapon, soldier!"
At this time, when Ofina saw that the orc soldier was still roaring, staggering towards her step by step and began to charge with her weapon high, she finally smiled and directly shot at the unicorn's back. She possessed herself, and snatched the Minie rifle from a soldier beside her that was so hot that its barrel was burning.
After confirming that the ammunition was loaded inside, she put the gun on her shoulder and began to aim at the orc soldier who was still running staggering step by step.
Regardless of whether the other party acted bravely or stupidly, Ofina has already made a decision: This time, she will do it herself to give the other party a decent way to die?
So when the mechanical sight of the mini rifle in her hand caught the ugly and ferocious head of the other party, Ofina lightly pulled her index finger.
"Snapped!"
When the fire scythe hit the edge of the medicine pool, a pile of sparks appeared, and then the gunpowder in the medicine pool exploded suddenly after hitting the sparks. After a crisp gunshot, the medicine pool and the muzzle on the right At the same time, a burst of flames and gunpowder smoke gushed out, blocking Ofina's sight and forcing her to narrow her eyes slightly.
But she could still clearly see that the orc's head in the distance exploded like a corrupted black watermelon, and the other's iron helmet also shattered into two pieces and flew out! At this time, the headless corpse that was almost completely shattered on the neck of the other party finally fell to the ground after shaking slightly for a few times...
In fact, this little orc leader named Zagrag is already quite remarkable! Because, among the 10,000 strong orcs just now, it was the one who died closest to the red-backed and gold-edged vulture flag before the line of Alicia United Kingdom musketeers!
It died at the place closest to the enemy. After all, this is an extremely glorious thing, isn't it?
"Heh! It seems that those strong orcs are finally getting anxious..."
After returning the musket with the bullets in her hand to the adoring Musketeer beside her, Ofina looked into the distance with great interest.
Outside the wall of the Horn Fort, countless strong orc troops began to be driven out of the Horn Fort by their generals, and began to gather directly outside the wall.
Soon, they formed a tight large square formation, and the square formations were only separated by one or two people. When the Alicia soldiers in the distance looked over, they felt Densely packed, like a large group of man-eating black ants gathering together.
"Gloin! Have you set up your artillery positions yet?!"
After calculating that it would take a while for the enemy to maintain order and arrange their formation, Ofina stopped looking, and rode her horse back to the artillery formation on the high ground, facing the dwarf Ge who was building the artillery formation. Luo Yin asked loudly.
Just now, because those orcs came up too fast, she didn't count on the slow artillery. But now, once those tens of thousands of strong orcs and Dunlanders rushed over desperately, it is very necessary for her to let the artillery suppress and break the morale of the enemy, so as to reduce some of the pressure on the Musketeers.
"It's ready, Your Majesty, please rest assured!"
Groin, who was carefully stuffing a big round iron ball into the barrel of the gun, quickly waved his hand and shouted, indicating that their artillery position had been built and loaded.
"Now, as long as you give the order, we can even directly bombard the orcs' big position outside the castle right now!"
After estimating the distance between the two sides, the old dwarf Groin felt that the formation of those orcs was densely packed, and they probably didn't need to aim at them. A random shot would probably pull out a long string of flesh and blood. Bar?
He figured it out, if they didn't miss, they only needed one volley, and after thirty shells were fired, at least they could kill hundreds or thousands of orcs? There is no other thing that can better reflect the power of their artillery than playing this dense formation. Before, they only hit the city gate or bombarded the city wall at most!
————
On the mountain fortress of the Horn Fort, the strong beasts who were knocking on the door have already run out of the wall. They walked too hastily, and even left the huge ramming log directly outside the door next to the stone bridge.
As for those who are still within the walls of the Horn Fort, except for the thousands of Dunlanders who are still wreaking havoc on the fortress facilities or trying to find a way to enter the mountain fortress, there are only a handful of strong orcs left. The troops lingered inside and no one cared about them.
At this time, inside the mountain fortress, in this hall, the generals, soldiers or refugees who were inconceivable and discussing the ranking of the Kingdom of Alicia just now have collectively silenced!
Now, while they are excited by the powerful reinforcements coming from their side, they are also instinctively afraid of the terrible weapons that emit fire and explode like bamboo!
"Aragorn..."
After thinking about it for a while, Theoden finally opened his mouth with difficulty.
"You have traveled around Middle-earth for so many years, have you ever seen a weapon that emits flames and thick smoke? Or... something similar?"
Beside a stone window in the mountain fortress of the Horn Fort, after observing the attack and destruction of the 10,000 strong orc legion and the terrifying weapon of the United Kingdom of Alicia, Theoden was so shocked that he could hardly speak. coming.
You know, that is an army of nearly 10,000 strong orcs equipped with iron armor...
Theoden felt that even if he was given 10,000 of the most elite cavalry, if he wanted to completely destroy or defeat these orcs forming a tight phalanx, it would take at least several days to repeatedly rush into the formation to lure the enemy, as well as minimize losses. Only half of the troops on your side can do it, right?
And now, in the Kingdom of Alicia, they insisted on relying on that terrible flaming weapon to block the entrance of the valley and almost wiped out the first batch of enemies without any damage to themselves? He just saw very clearly that the total number of orcs who managed to escape by chance, the number of people who managed to escape in the end, would definitely not exceed one thousand!
Theoden asked himself, if the 10,000 cavalry of Rohan were to attack the formation of the Kingdom of Alicia, he felt that their cavalry would definitely charge with the same numbers on both sides. They will be slaughtered on the way!
He felt that there must be at least three to five times the number of cavalry, and it must be in a wide and flat grassland terrain, in order to be able to withstand the shooting of those terrible weapons and forcefully rush to the front of the enemy's formation, right?
Moreover, the most terrible thing is: under the huge casualties and the huge blow to morale, it is unclear whether any army can withstand that kind of loss! The sense of despair when he didn't touch the enemy's figure, but he would lose half of it first, could definitely collapse any of the most disciplined troops in Middle-earth!
Those strong orcs just now are the best proof! Their morale and discipline can be said to be excellent!
But what happened? When they were easily slaughtered by the enemy for three to five thousand, they could no longer restrain themselves and began to collapse and run away! Then, when they handed over their backs to the enemy, they finally died so that only a few hundred lucky ones escaped back, and the whole army was almost wiped out?
That terrifying weapon just chased and fired at their backs, reaching a distance of nearly a thousand yards... Could it be that what they were holding was a large catapult? Otherwise, how could they have shot so far?
"..."
"I'm sorry, King Theoden... Although I have been to many places in Middle-earth, I have never seen such a terrible weapon!"
"Even, I haven't even heard of it..."
After being silent for a while, Aragorn also shook his head with some difficulty. At this moment, he only felt a burst of bitterness welling up in his heart...
In the face of such a terrible weapon that only the devil can possess, personal bravery will become useless! When facing this kind of weapon, even the most elite ranger or knight might not be as good as a woman with no power to restrain a chicken?
Now, Aragorn finally understands why almost none of Alicia's army wears armor? I also know why there are a group of women in their formation...
If there is such a terrifying devil weapon, let alone a woman, even a child, as long as he can afford that kind of iron rod, he probably can easily kill the most heroic knight, right?
Moreover, it is still an attack that can be launched at such a long distance...
"Maybe, they are really devils from hell?"
Apart from the adjective of devil's weapon, Aragorn really couldn't imagine a better modifier...Those terrifying weapons, maybe they shouldn't appear in this Middle-earth world at all!
He suddenly felt a little disheartened now. This Alicia United Kingdom of unknown origin, just looking at their current military strength, Aragorn already knew that the other party would definitely be able to go north of the White Goose River, in his Arno Kingdom. A firm foothold has been firmly established on the homeland!
With these powerful armies as a deterrent, no one would be foolish enough to oppose them!
The most terrible thing is that they are now developing south. If there is no accident, Rohan should also join them. By then, how will the Kingdom of Gondor gain a foothold on Middle-earth?
Even if he, Aragorn, really used his right of inheritance to successfully take back the Kingdom of Gondor by then, what could he do? Can he hold his Gondor under the threat of this terrible devil weapon?
"..."
The Hussar King Theoden also had a serious face, and did not speak any more.
Compared with the sadness and heavy blow in Aragorn's heart, his own feeling is actually more mixed? The good news is: if nothing else happens, they can basically be said to be safe now! And the worry is: Will his Rohan Kingdom really announce to join the other party? When the time comes, how will his own Rohan ensure his independence and other interests in the other party's United Kingdom?
In the midst of half joy and half sorrow, he is now thinking: If he is the general of those strong beasts, how can he defeat those Alicia's army?
In front of that terrifying weapon, from the battle just now, he had already seen a fact: they still maintain a terrifying lethality at a distance of 800 yards!
In contrast to their traditional bows and arrows, those are starting to look backward shooting weapons.
If it is an elf family, those elf bows that use special wood and bowstrings and are also very well-crafted can have a direct shooting range of at least more than one hundred yards, and in the case of projectiles, they can reach four hundred yards. Not bad for a distance of five hundred yards!
As for the humans or dwarves whose craftsmanship is slightly behind, apart from the powerful but troublesome hard crossbow, if it is a bow and arrow, it can only reach 70% to 80% of the range of the elf bow and arrow troops, or even a little less?
Moreover, the most important point is: ordinary bows and arrows are definitely unable to pierce the enemy's steel plate armor, especially the kind of orcs. They are almost a whole plate armor poured as a whole. very effective!
Ordinary bows and arrows shoot directly or throw, as long as they don't hit those vital weak parts, they don't need to be blocked by shields to bounce off easily!
This matter has been proven when humans and elves defended the walls of the Horn Fort before! At that time, their bows and arrows were not ideal for killing orcs.
And Alicia's terrifying weapon that emits flames and smoke? They can actually penetrate the plate armor directly at a distance of several hundred yards? And if it was at a distance of about 300 yards, they could even fight directly, knocking down one or two of the strong orcs in the dense formation?
Therefore, Theoden came to an astonishing conclusion after thinking about it: If he was the general of those strong beasts, besides forcing tens of thousands of people to rush forward together, piling up roads with human lives and rushing over forcibly Besides, he actually has no other better way...
Moreover, this is assuming that morale will not collapse, even if they can finally rush through, there will not be many people left, right?
"Aha! Let me tell you, the dwarves in Lonely Mountain actually have something like that that explodes and emits smoke!"
Suddenly, the dwarf Gimli, who was standing on a large wooden barrel and had been lying on the window sill to watch the scene of musketeers fighting plate armor infantry, did not know what he thought of, so he cheered and shouted loudly.
Just now, during the battle, he always felt that the weapons of the Alicia United Kingdom army, those fire lights and sounds, seemed very familiar?
"Actually, we dwarves will also configure a powerful thing called 'Flash Fire'!"
"The sound and smoke it made when it exploded are almost the same as those of the Alicia army in the distance! It's just that we usually stuff it into a large iron ball and then throw it out with our hands?"
At this time, Gimli also remembered something that his father, Groin, had bragged to him many times: Back then, among a dozen dwarves and the hobbit Bilbo Baggins and the gray robe wizard Gandalf When they went on an expedition to the Lonely Mountain together, they had prepared that kind of 'flash fire' in the Lonely Mountain Fortress! Moreover, it was used to blow up the head of the dragon Smaug!
Although, those things did not have much impact on the dragon Smaug at that time, but no one can deny that when they exploded, they would make a loud noise, produce flames and choking smoke! For these points, no one can doubt it!
These similarities are added together, and they are a bit similar to the weapons of the Alicia United Kingdom army on the opposite side!
Although Jinli still doesn't quite understand, why is the opponent's iron stick so powerful?
Maybe, when he goes to Gushan by himself, he can also try to make a big iron pipe, and then stuff the prepared 'flash fire' into the pipe, and when it is full, finally Go and try to ignite and detonate again?
"Flash?"
"I remembered, I've seen that thing too! It's just that you dwarves have never used it to fight, have you?"
Hearing Jinli mention this incident, Aragorn finally remembered.
In the kingdom of dwarves, there are indeed such things that also explode and emit fire and smoke! It's just that they seem to be far less powerful and useful than those small iron rods in Alicia Kingdom. Aragorn still remembered that those things called 'flash fire' were used, as if they were packed in a large clay pot or iron pot, then ignited and thrown to the enemy's side?
"That's right! It's just that we generally use it to blast rocks for mining or to defend cities? Although we dwarves almost never need to defend cities..."
Speaking of this, Jin Li felt a little embarrassed.
Because most of their dwarves live in caves, and they really don't need to defend the city walls. In fact, even if the dwarves' country is at war with the Wushan half-orcs or the Gundaba half-orcs, almost all of them are in war. What goes on in the caves, just like in the mines of Moria.
"Everyone, pay attention! The army of strong orcs has finally started to move!"
At this time, Legolas, who was standing next to Gimli and had been focusing on observing the orcs and the musketeers of the Kingdom of Alicia, finally reminded everyone in the discussion in time.
Here, Legolas' elf eyes are the best, so he can almost clearly see the subtle movements of the musketeers of the Alicia Kingdom army in the distance just now!
He could see clearly just now: What they were holding in their hands was not actually an iron rod, but a long and uniform iron pipe?
When preparing to fire, those Musketeers of the Kingdom of Alicia, they first bit something open, then stuffed it into the iron pipe, and then stuffed some kind of iron pellet into it?
In the end, they raise their weapons and aim at their enemies, and activate the weapons that emit flames and thick smoke. When the weapons explode, the iron pellets fly out at a speed that is almost invisible to the naked eye. Shot through the plate armor of the orcs, their filthy flesh, and claimed their wretched lives!
The speed at which those troops filled the iron pipes with items and iron pellets was actually not too fast! Legolas had seen clearly just now that the fastest of them needed at least ten breaths of time to complete a complete set of loading actions, and with this time, he was confident that he could almost shoot a dozen arrows?
It's just that the power and range of the opponent's weapon are far greater than his bow and arrow!
Legolas still couldn't even imagine what it would be like to pierce through plate armor at a distance of five hundred yards? ! If it was his own bow and arrow, let alone five hundred yards, within a hundred yards, he could only shoot at the enemy's armpit, neck or eyes, which were not protected by armor!
Otherwise, his arrows are likely to be bounced off by the enemy's armor!
In Legolas' view, the only shortcoming of those iron pipe weapons that emit flames and thick smoke may be that the rate of fire is too slow?
However, the people of the Kingdom of Alicia cleverly used the method of multi-stage shooting, so that the troops were divided into several waves to shoot sequentially. The act of reloading?
This is really a good way!
The elf prince Legolas felt that by doing this, the opponent could not only cause continuous and terrifying damage to the enemy, but also cause huge psychological pressure on the enemy soldiers under the situation where bullets were raining down, causing the charging soldiers to Do they have the terrible illusion that the enemy's attack will never stop, and they may never rush up?
"The strong beasts are moving together..."
"There are so many people pressing up together? If that's the case, even Alicia's terrifying weapon won't last long, right?"
Sure enough, what the orc generals thought was similar to what Theoden himself had just thought. They all found a way to deal with the enemy's terrible weapon.
In the current situation, no matter who is the general of the strong orcs, there seems to be no good way other than rushing straight through with a large number of people? Unless, the orcs are willing to give up and continue to attack their Horn Fort in Rohan, and escape directly from the narrow slope on the right side of the Horn Fort?
"Hi!" "Hi!"
"Hi!" "Hi!"
Here in Helm's Deep, there are at least 30,000 to 40,000 orcs that have been rearranged to form a huge army. Looking at the castle, their formation and momentum are quite extraordinary! Under that kind of thick army formation, if they were replaced by the Rohans, they would have no other better way than turning their horses and swimming away from the enemy.
"well……"
"No! There are too many strong orcs. The people of the Kingdom of Alicia are probably planning to retreat first..."
Sighing, Theoden felt that the Battle of Helm's Deep would probably last for a while?
He felt that if those strong orcs dared to forcefully charge at the cost of losing 10,000 to 20,000 people, they should indeed be able to cross the killing zone of that terrible weapon and directly charge into the opponent's formation.
Therefore, Theoden feels that the best way for the Alicias in the current situation is to step back and use wolf pack tactics and their advantages of long-distance shooting weapons to eliminate the enemy bit by bit while keeping the distance between the two sides ?
Although this method takes a lot of time, no one can deny that: they can definitely wipe out this group of tens of thousands of orcs with very little loss, or even wipe out the enemy?
Of course, the premise is that these orcs, after rushing out of the mouth of Helm's Deep, did not turn around and run away...
"The weapon is good, just a little less mobile?"
Theoden pondered for a moment, and soon discovered some shortcomings of that weapon. Besides the rate of fire, maybe it was mobility?
He felt that if the three thousand troops armed with terrifying weapons could equip each of them with a war horse, or if his own country of Rohan could also have that kind of weapon...
Theoden couldn't even imagine it anymore. At that time, in Middle-earth, what existence would be able to match this kind of special cavalry unit with extremely long attack range, strong lethality, and the ability to come and go like the wind? !
Thinking about it, Theoden could feel his heart starting to heat up!
I just don’t know, if the Hussars of Rohan announce to join the United Kingdom of Alicia, then, Queen Ofina, will she also provide her own cavalry with this terrible weapon? Having grown up on horseback since childhood, the Rohanites with excellent riding skills will definitely be able to exert a terrifying killing effect once they are equipped with this kind of weapon, right?
Strange...why haven't they started retreating yet?
"Wait! What's that!?"
Just as Theoden was wondering why Alicia's United Kingdom's army didn't plan to retreat slowly, something that shocked him again happened!
When the strong orcs gradually approached to a distance of about 500 yards, dozens of large black and white gunpowder smoke suddenly exploded behind the iron rod weapon troops, and then, after the fire, about thirty or forty almost The huge iron ball visible to the naked eye suddenly shot out from the place where the black smoke rose, and dragged along a path that was also almost visible to the naked eye, and directly plowed into the dense formation of the orcs. In the phalanx, dozens of long blood gullies were torn out...
After a long while, the dozens of half-overlapping rumbling sounds like thunder reached the innermost mountain fortress of Helm's Deep, and began to rumble under the echoes of the mountains around the valley. ringing, and for a long time...
At the same time, Theoden also saw that the Alicia soldiers holding strange iron rod weapons fired the iron rod weapons in their hands again. Obviously, they also knew that there were too many enemies this time, so they didn't put them within the closer distance of 300 yards?
However, the bombardment of this huge weapon alone killed at least hundreds or even thousands of orcs, right? After all, their formation is too dense...
What's more terrible is that the attack that seems to be an oversized iron rod weapon, the scene of smashing flesh and blood, and the scene of limbs being torn apart, is much more frightening than that small iron rod that only emits smoke and flames!
Anyway, those Rohan people who are hiding far away in the mountain fortress can feel the shock of the past, let alone the orcs who are being hit directly on the head!
So, of course, now they can see that the army formation of those orcs seems to have become a bit chaotic. Under the intimidation of such terrifying weapons and the long-distance shooting of those iron rod weapons, Some orcs began to turn around and retreat regardless of the order, while others wanted to continue to rush forward under the officer's shout, and they quickly crowded together like this.
...
"good chance!"
Originally, Ofina thought that those orcs would probably continue to march forward with huge casualties, but what she never expected was that the enemy was scared into confusion by a salvo of a cannon? Especially the chaos of this large army, it will definitely be a nightmare for all generals!
At this time, absolutely no one can easily organize the soldiers in chaos again!
Therefore, Ou Feina felt that she should add fuel to the fire, so that today's battle can completely establish the victory before the sun rises?
After making the decision, her face turned cold, and as soon as she gritted her teeth, she drove the tall unicorn under her crotch, accelerated to the front of the musketeers, and pulled out the golden long sword at her waist. Today, she decided to Play a big one!
"In the name of my lord! In the name of light! In the name of flame!"
A clear and sharp scream began to echo on the battlefield of Helm's Deep, and then, everyone could see, in the middle of the front of the musketeers, that golden figure riding a strange mount, her The long sword held high began to emit bursts of intense light...
"Come out! Angel of Doom! Purify the evil in front of you!"
Gathering the strength of her whole body, when the light of the long sword was set to illuminate the entire Helm's Deep, Ofina swung the long sword forward violently! In the next instant, dozens of huge beams of light descended from the sky.
Then, after the beam of light slowly dissipated, dozens of angels of doom appeared, flapping their feathered wings with the power of flames, holding huge cross swords and shields with the flag badge of the United Kingdom of Alicia in their hands. ...
Well, what Ou Feina just wanted to add to the flames was actually to release these energy creature doomsday angels to scare people! Their combat power is actually just a group of giant flying trolls? But, except for the instigators, Little Annie and Ofina, no one knows about this, right?
"Dundan cavalry! Follow the angels and charge! Cut their formation and disrupt their order!"
After seeing the angels she summoned start to fly up and pounce at the orcs who were frightened into chaos, Ofina turned around, looked at the stunned cavalry behind her, and used her long sword again Pointing fiercely at those strong orcs who were retreating in a panic, he ordered.
Now is a golden opportunity, she will never miss this kind of good opportunity to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop!
"Long live the United Kingdom of Alicia!" "Long live the Queen!"
"Come on!!"
"Kill!!!"
After finally seeing the rumored angel of doomsday, the Dendan knights instantly felt that their morale had broken through the peak full value, and their combat effectiveness seemed to have exceeded 10,000 percent? Therefore, they chanted all kinds of slogans that they thought could show force or loyalty, and rushed straight towards the enemies from the two wings of the musket phalanx!
"Attention musketeers! Go forward! Shoot in turn!"
"Attention artillery units! Continue to bombard the rear of the enemy!"
After seeing tens of thousands of enemies huddling together and turning into a big rout, Ofina knew that today's battle was almost over!
However, she also knew that she couldn't be careless now, after all, there were too many people on the other side! What they are doing now is to constantly compress the enemy's activity space and maintain uninterrupted artillery bombardment.
...
"How can this be?!"
"By God, what are those? Are they really angels?"
"Please God forgive my past sins..."
"A miracle...that is really a miracle!"
While those strong orcs were scared to death by the huge doomsday angel made of energy that fell from the sky, the Rohan people in the mountain fortress were not much better. They had already knelt down and peeked in surprise. Looking at the angels driving away the enemies in the distance, they kept praying softly...
"The strong beasts can't get out, they are finished!"
At this time, the only surviving orcs and Dunland barbarians in the Horn Fort saw that the situation was not going well, and ran out of the high wall one after another! They seem to be planning to escape from the small gap slope on the right side of the Horn Fort?
"Bring our war horses here, and let our remaining soldiers prepare for battle! Later, we will open this gate, rush out, and drive the enemy out of our Horn Fort. We must not let those strong orcs fight again call back!"
"Hurry up! Take action, let's rush out!"
Seeing the King of Hussars of Theoton, who is taking advantage of it, of course he will not easily let go of this good opportunity to beat the dog in the water! Therefore, he immediately ordered to his subordinates.
"Bless the king! We have not failed after all..."
Now the enemies within the high walls of the Horn Fortress have almost run away, and in their mountain fortress, there are still three to five thousand human and elf coalition forces, rush out first, defend their castle, and absolutely do not let those who are defeated The strong orcs in the game flooded in again!
Soon, the final gate of the mountain fortress of Horn Fort opened by itself, and Theoden and other soldiers rushed out again!
"Quick! Attack, kill and disperse these rout soldiers! Infantry, guard your city walls and close the second city gate!"
The hussar king Theoden, who was reviving his courage, rode his horse to charge along the curve of the fortress, and at the same time gave instructions to the soldiers who followed.
They will definitely not be able to defend the entire Horn Fort, after all, the huge gap that was blown up by the orcs still lies there! Therefore, they only hoped to hold the second layer of fortresses and parapets in the inner circle, and just recapture the second gate!
"Wait! What's that?"
Suddenly, after severely chopping down an orc who was unable to escape due to injuries, Theoden reined in his horse and looked towards the right side of the Horn Fort.
Where, through that red sky just before sunrise, had he seen, at the top of the notch in the slope, reappeared the red-and-gold vulture flag of the United Kingdom of Alicia?
Two or three of them, the iron rod phalanx and some handles, quickly blocked the narrow slope gap, and with that terrible weapon, they began to condescendingly beat those Dunlanders who had barely climbed halfway. The humans and the beasts fought back fiercely...
"Today's battle may end soon..."
Looking at the enemies who had been driven down again, and those large groups of defeated soldiers who were being beaten back by the main force of the Kingdom of Alicia, Theoden knew that today's battle could almost be declared over.
The sound of guns and artillery in the distance still continued, and the entire Helm's Deep echoed with the thunderous rumble, the crisp sound of firecrackers, and the screams of the orcs as they ran for their lives in a panic...
Today's battle will be engraved in the annals of history! This will record that a new era is rising...
Then, the history books of Middle-earth will record like this: In the third era of Middle-earth, in the early morning of March 4, 3019, when the sun rose, the elite angel army of the United Kingdom of Alicia wiped out Isinger The Orc White Hand Legion fought in Helm's Deep, killing tens of thousands of enemies in this battle!
This is an epic victory...
