The Lord of the Rings: Lords of Middle-Earth

Chapter 531 Seesaw

"Shoot! Don't save crossbows!" Renault roared, holding the long sword in his hand and constantly wandering between the arrow towers to boost morale.

"Doo doo doo!" A Badanian archer pressed his shoulders against the crossbow holder, and as the mechanism was pulled, a box of five fine iron crossbow arrows shot out.

"Pfft!"

"Pfft!"

As the sound of two sharp arrows piercing flesh was heard, an orc curled up and fell to the ground, clutching his abdomen. He twitched a few times and then stopped moving.

The other unlucky guy was shot through the thigh, and purple-black blood gushed out like a fountain. It fell to the ground with a painful cry and struggled desperately to crawl back, trying to retreat. The heavily armored orc who was supervising the battle saw that it was acting alone. The figure picked up Tieguduo and walked over with a grin. As Tieguduo was lifted high, a shadow shrouded its head, and the wounded orcs let out a sad wail.

"Poof!" But before it could be executed by the supervising team, a heavy crossbow fired from Lulong Fortress roared over. In its horrified eyes, it pierced through the elite half-orc who held the Iron Bone Flower high. It penetrated two people before stopping.

"Plop!" The raised hand fell down weakly, and Tie Guduo dropped his hand and fell to the ground. The half-orc team member's knees softened and he knelt down in front of the wounded soldier. The hole in his chest was as big as a bowl, and the figure behind him was clearly visible.

"Ahhh!" The wounded soldier was so frightened by this cruel scene that he retreated desperately.

"Puff!" Several arrow points suddenly penetrated its head and torso, and it fell to the ground without saying a word.

Then more orcs followed in their footsteps, and the purple-black blood stained the land outside Lulong Fortress, and the meandering blood flow dyed the moat purple-black.

"The orcs were repelled by us!" A city guard ran over and said excitedly to Renault.

"Soldiers, remember, this is only temporary!" Renault emphasized. The tide of orcs is only temporarily fading away, and they will not give up this fortress yet!

"Stay alert! Attack immediately as soon as the orcs come into range!" Renault warned.

"General, why don't you take a rest? You've been running around for a day!" Seeing the sunset and darkness coming, the Lulong Fortress had already been lit with torches, and the entire fortress emitted a faint light that illuminated the surrounding wasteland.

"Well, I'll take a nap for a while. If anything happens, wake me up immediately!" Renault didn't refuse. After all, keeping a vigil was more important, and it was impossible to keep a vigil without good physical strength.

"Your Excellency Lafitte Anthony, the orcs have retreated!" the soldier said to Lafitte Anthony.

"Well, I saw it. Our killing efficiency is impressive!" Lafitte Anthony nodded in agreement. The three to four hundred corpses under the city were their achievements in one day. Although it was a lot, it was compared to the north wall of the huge fortress. Said, this efficiency is very touching.

"The orcs are feigning an attack! They are consuming and testing our firepower!" Lafitte Anthony shook his head. This was a conspiracy that could not be solved. They had no other choice but to accept the attack.

Lafitte Antoine also had no good solution for the war behavior of both sides being pecking at each other. Neither side had the ability to break the balance of the battlefield. Because of the existence of the fortress shield, most of the orcs' siege equipment was useless, and the fortress's The attack was precise and powerful. After several waves of fire against the fortress, the orc siege equipment refused to enter the range of the fortress's defense facilities (except for the miserable siege tower vehicle). In addition, the Nazgul were afraid of the attack of the Fallen Dragon Tower. , and because the fortress is sparsely manned and has an overly wide defense area, the attack density is impressive. It can only be said that the two sides are getting further and further away in the process of competition. Now both sides are waiting for the changes in the war fortress variables to appear.

"I'm waiting for reinforcements..." Renault muttered to himself, looking at the horizon.

"The magic crystals in the fortress will eventually be exhausted..." Atunafei looked at Ackhorn and let out a hoarse laugh. For them, the death of consumables like half-orcs would not hurt them anyway.

"Huh!" The whistling stones flew over the heads of the Nazgul. The Faith Shooting method made the already worrisome "Made by Orcs" more accurate and impressive. Even the warring parties said that if the fortress defenders died under the attack of the catapult, If so, he must have been scared to death, after all, even a target as big as a fortress shield can float into the sky...

"Fight back! Fight back!" A low-level officer roared angrily. After all, when have we, Lagrand men, ever experienced such folly? Just get beaten without fighting back? That's not Lagrand's style! So what are you waiting for? It is more convenient for our trebuchet to hit them from above!

"Stop the trebuchet attack!" General Reno's messenger stopped their behavior in time. After all, not only did Lafitte Anthony see the clues in this tug of war, Reno was not a fool either. The orcs wanted to consume their conspiracy. How could they possibly succeed? Want to use those three melons and two dates to deceive our stone bullets? Go ahead and dream!

As a result, the trebuchets of Lulong Fortress rarely stopped their offensive, which made the orcs who were originally trembling with fear were confused. After all, the terrifying trebuchets were a bloody path at once, and the polished stone bullets were more conducive to rolling. , which makes the trebuchet of Lulong Fortress more powerful.

"Kill!" But how could the half-orcs, whose brains were not much bigger than an apricot kernel, think about the deeper meaning? They waved their weapons and came toward Lulong Fortress from all directions in a dark and heavy manner. Shot by the soldiers in the tower, the remaining Orcs quickly faded away as if they were frightened. After doing this several times, the Orcs also died down. Although the sky was getting dark, the Orcs' physical strength had reached its limit. The orcs who quickly faded began to camp around Lulong Fortress.

The generals who were eager to try on the city looked at the soldiers behind them and gave up their original ideas with a wry smile. After all, how could Lagrand be so weak in his life? But thinking about the Nazgul squatting outside and the short-legged infantry behind them, several generals chose to follow their hearts.

"Tell the soldiers to take turns to rest and eat, and pay attention to the enemy's movements at night!" Reno warned.

In this way, every ten minutes, the arrow towers on the four walls will shoot several long, grease-covered arrows aimlessly into the vast wilderness. Because they do not pursue accuracy but pursue range, these Battanian archers will The crossbow machine tilted at a 45-degree angle, and then shot out flaming crossbow arrows. The grease mixed with kerosene ignited a small clump of dead grass. In this way, these crossbow arrows became the only warning device for Lulong Fortress to alert the orcs to their movements.

At this time, Ormsk, who had been wandering around for a few days, suddenly felt a palpitation in his heart. He took out the lighting crystal and looked at the map. He found that he had gone too far. After thinking about it, he decided to rush back to the kingdom by starry night. After all, as a As the only mobile force in the kingdom, their mission is very heavy.

What Ormsk didn't know was that there was already a group of people waiting for him with eager eyes, and among them, Renault, who "missed" him the most, was almost out of his ancestral grave.
