Chapter 601 Gandalf's Trip Wasted
On the battlefield at Horn Rock to the east.
The Orc army changed its offensive strategy and did not continue to attack the outer wall. After all, their most advantageous weapon was gone. It would be of little significance to continue to fight. As long as Aragorn and the others were still there, the Orcs would not be able to take down the outer wall. wall.
Therefore, the orc army chose a part of the orcs to contain the outer wall and defenders of Aragorn, and the remaining orcs launched a more violent attack on the Horn Rock barrier!
The extremely heavy battering ram was carried by a large number of strong orcs, and they moved towards the gate of Horn Castle step by step.
Many people have to fall with every step they take. It can be said that they are completely using flesh and blood in exchange for progress.
At the same time, the orc leader commanded a large number of orcs to advance with shields to cover the siege ram. When the humans saw this, of course they had to stop it. After all, no matter how strong the gate of Horn Castle is, it cannot be as thick and hard as the city wall. , if the orcs really get close to the gate, then it will only be a matter of time before the gate of Horn Castle is broken open.
Eomer, who was in charge of the defense here, changed his expression and quickly asked the soldiers to shoot arrows. The soldiers standing on the terrace above the city gate shot arrows one after another.
With the advantage of height, the arrows can cause damage without using much force, let alone the powerful arrows with the bowstring fully drawn?
The ferocious arrows were so fierce that even the orcs couldn't bear it. Even if they tried their best to block them with shields, some of the orcs still fell.
However, when one strong orc falls, another strong orc will take over. They don't care about casualties at all.
Eomer could only look at the outer wall, but the outer wall that had been able to support the Horn Rock was now extremely busy and could not spare any manpower to support it.
Under this slow but firm and powerful advance, the heavy and huge battering ram finally arrived in front of the gate of Horn Castle.
"Boom!"
The sharp steel head and ferocious-shaped battering ram slammed into the gate of Horn Castle, making a fierce sound.
The loud noise was heard throughout Horn Rock.
Even the extremely thick gate of Horn Castle trembled and could not calm down for a long time.
"Boom!!!"
Before the door could calm down, there was another extremely fierce impact!
Eomer almost jumped down to block the orc's attack.
But he was held tightly by the soldiers around him.
The gate of the Horn Castle was knocked violently and shook violently.
"Hurry up and get someone here!"
"Where's the plank? Bring the plank over and nail it on!"
"Boom!"
It was another powerful and ferocious impact.
Human warriors crowded tightly at the gate, trying to resist with their bodies.
But their efforts were in vain.
Because Saruman's battering ram has magic on it, otherwise, normally, the gate of the Horn Keep would not be so easily hit and shaken violently.
"boom!!!"
The next moment, the ferocious battering ram broke through the gate of the Horn Castle.
The Rohan warriors who bore the brunt were unable to dodge or react, and were knocked out, vomiting blood or twisting their hands and feet in mid-air.
Then the orcs swarmed in. In order to reinforce the gate, the Rohan warriors who blocked the gate basically did not carry weapons. At this time, they could only be forced to face the enemy.
Naturally, they were broken open by strong orcs and suffered heavy casualties.
"kill!"
At this moment, from the inner city behind the Horn Castle, King Théoden came out with a group of warriors.
These warriors were all warriors who had just switched defenses. They were originally in a state of fear, but now they burst out with amazing fighting will, or in other words, a desire to survive!
Then there is King Theoden's own Guards. These Guards are all composed of selected elite warriors, and the source of the warriors is naturally the Rohan Hussars!
King Théoden is not a showman. He often leads the army in battle, so he takes the lead in the charge at this time, so that the fearful warriors can regain their fighting spirit, and their morale will immediately rise like a chicken blood.
It is precisely because King Theoden is not as decadent as in the original plot that he successfully blocked the invasion of the orcs!
"kill!!!"
King Théoden swung his sword, killing all the orcs wherever it passed.
Even if he is not riding a horse, his martial arts are still very powerful.
It may not be as powerful as a special bloodline like Aragorn, but it is already the best for a mortal.
It took several strong orcs to deal with one human soldier, let alone King Théoden. They were immediately cut down and killed, and they were defeated in succession.
The Guards also showed superb martial arts. They basically turned into a strong orc, and their killing efficiency was very efficient.
Even those warriors who recovered from the fear screamed and fought with the Orcs. Although the killing efficiency was not as good as that of the Guards, they were still able to kill an Orc after more than ten attacks.
In the entrance passage, broken limbs of flesh and blood were flying around, and heads were rolling.
King Théoden was several positions ahead of his own guards, and he was immediately surrounded by the orcs.
However, he did not panic at all. He held a shield in one hand to block most of the orcs' attacks, and the sword in the other hand pierced the orc's throat without stopping.
However, even though he fought so bravely, killing the enemy like a ton of enemies, and almost killed one person in one step, outside the gate, there was a dense and dark crowd of strong orcs rushing in like a tide.
It seems that they can’t be killed and beheaded without stopping!
Although King Theoden was a skilled warrior, he could not defeat four with two fists, not to mention that the enemy was much more numerous than him.
A long attack would lead to failure. When he swung his sword to kill an orc, an orc rushed into his shield with a shield.
Although Theoden blocked it with his shield in time, the other two orcs also rushed up with their shields, which immediately made Theoden lose his balance.
"Your Majesty!"
The guards in the back saw this scene and their pupils were about to burst.
Several guards covered in blood and in a mess immediately rushed out of the siege and came to Theoden to kill the orcs who tried to sneak attack.
However, Theoden was still hit by several knives. Even though he was wearing armor, he was injured by these heavy and powerful slashes.
"Chang Wei!"
When Aragorn saw the orcs rushing towards the gate of Hornburg, he immediately realized that the gate of Hornburg might have been breached.
"Hmm?"
Chang Wei looked at Aragorn.
"I'll leave this to you!"
Aragorn knew it was not the right time yet, so he could only say this.
He then immediately left this place behind and flew to the gate of Hornburg.
Chang Wei swung his sword and killed an orc.
"It's time to end it, Gandalf is coming soon, and then he will make a wasted trip."
Chang Wei's mouth corners rose.
