The sky continued to be dark and cloudy, as if billowing black clouds were about to press down on the ground. The dark clouds billowed, and even swallowed the Holy White Tower, the highest point of Minas Tirith, into the clouds. Going, there is light rain everywhere, even if you stay in the tent and cook by the fire, the dryness on the front makes the wetness on the back more vivid, with a lingering stickiness.
Since the shocking reversal of the battle situation on the entire Palenno Plain, Sauron was not depressed by the 200,000 orc legions who died, as well as those southern believers and war elephants, because he also saw the great results of the battle. To put it bluntly, even if the battle is defeated now, it is worthwhile to be able to cut off the royal blood of Isildur's lineage!
He knew very clearly that it would be a very difficult victory if he could forcibly break into a stalemate under the previous crisis.
So the excited Sauron poured more divine power here. This damp weather is like genital warts to sex life, seriously damaging the bowstring of the long-range weapon guarding Minas Tirith, and For the Umba pirates who were to be the main combat force, they would feel uncomfortable if they weren't exposed to the moist water vapor.
At this time, two days had passed since that battle, and the two sides were stubbornly stalemate, seemingly waiting for their own reinforcements. Saruman's elite orc army on Sauron's side has set off for two days, led by Faerun, an archer who is more powerful than Luz.
And after hearing the bad news about Aragorn, Eldron the Elf King agreed to his daughter's request, acquiescing to Princess Alvin leading a small group of her people to rush to avenge her fiancé. There is no doubt that if these elves Entering Minas Tirith to participate in the battle of defending the city, the difficulty of defending the city will increase tenfold. After all, the arrival of a sharpshooter, Faerun, will definitely not be able to cover up the fact that the orcs are not good at long-range attacks.
…
At this time, a group of heads of the dark side also gathered in front of the 3D structure map of Minas Tirith at this time. Under the illumination of the satellite, the situation here can be seen at a glance. The Human Alliance directly gave up the second, third, and fourth. The first city wall, and then stick to the fifth city wall.
Because the length of the fifth city wall is only about half of the first city wall, and when the attacker launches a large-scale attack, he must follow the S-shaped path like a winding mountain road. Therefore, there is already enough space in terms of early warning, and the shorter city wall can also largely make up for the shortage of manpower.
After the defenders made such an arrangement, Fang Sheyan and the others felt that their heads were too big. How could Minas Tirith's reputation as the most dangerous city in mainland China be in vain? Once the other party retreated, if they wanted to attack the city on a large scale, they would probably have to walk five or six kilometers from the foot of the first city wall to the gate of the fifth city wall.
To be more specific, the road is in the shape of a "bow". First enter the city gate on the left side of the first city wall, then walk forward for fifty meters, reach the bottom of the second city wall, and walk along the right side. After going up two or three kilometers, you will reach the rightmost gate of the second city wall. After entering, you have to continue to repeat the above procedures to reach the bottom of the third city wall, and then walk a long way to the left to reach the rightmost gate. There are three city gates... and in the process of walking, they have to bear the opponent's throwing all the time. If the ordinary army was in the process of marching, it would have been shot to collapse.
"According to the latest data we have now, the Jazz on the other side also spared no expense in exchange for a group of men, and the defensive force has reached about 3,000." Jax, the head of the Blu-ray team, said with a gloomy expression.
"In fact, those damned pirates are completely useless. We are very passive when attacking the city. The opponent relies on the city wall and can inflict amazing damage on us."
"We didn't come here to listen to your frustrating words." Bai Xiwen said disapprovingly. After making a deal with Sheyan and the others, Bo Xiwen, who holds the King's Sword, can be said to have doubled his voice in the team. With this weapon, he successfully won over 70% of the team. Elites, ready to flex their muscles in the future Lord of the Rings world.
For Bai Xiwen, the way he looked at the problem was from the side of the enemy - even if the reinforcements from the elves came, the reinforcements of hundreds of people were nothing more than a small fight! Does the opponent dare to come out to fight
Before being surrounded by thousands of armies, Fang Sheyan and the others brazenly guarded the Dark Hall and killed Aragorn to make a comeback. Now this group of people is almost equipped with a piece of legendary equipment, especially the MT. I am afraid that among their contractors in this period, it is The first strong man with a legendary quality shield! With this group of people guarding the Dark Fountain Hall, it is almost impossible to fall. Since one side is already invincible, it is the other side that should be worried.
"Actually, the current situation is formed because our plan at that time was actually not thoughtful." Under Sheyan's instruction, Jiaoshi said very seriously:
"The area and time of flooding are at least one-third less than our previous estimate. The biggest reason for this is that we forgot one thing. The big pit created by the earthquake was predicted to go in."
The earthquake below Minas Tirith was a classic work created by the think tank of the Contractors of the Human Alliance. It cleverly destroyed more than 80% of the siege equipment of the siege party in one fell swoop, and it was still under the city of Minas Tirith. A terrifying earth scar was left behind.
When Fang Senyan and the others burst the embankment to irrigate, at least one-fifth of the river's water was swallowed up by this scar on the earth, which directly caused the degree of muddyness and the amount of flood water to decrease to varying degrees.
"Without that big pit, the defenders at this time should not exceed 2,000 people." Jiao Shi concluded. "But now the question we have to face is, should we continue to wait for the reinforcements to come, or try to attack and end the war before those damned elves come?"
"If the elves come, we will be more passive." Jax pointed out the hidden danger very simply: "The elves can launch a fatal blow from 500 meters away, and the darkness will become their ally instead. They can take advantage of The constant harassment and sneak attacks at night, the high perception in the dark makes it difficult for them to be ambushed, and our army will be slowly exhausted in their cannibalism guerrilla warfare."
Bai Xiwen laughed triumphantly:
"Although the elves are powerful, these sissies in the woods have a fatal weakness. This weakness should lie in me and Master Zi. I believe they will not be able to bear it when they arrive and come to fight us bloody. Because the leaders Their woman, oh, she should be a widow, she should have the will to die. As long as this Anduril and Evening Star necklace appears in front of Alvin, how could she bear it and not rush over?"
It can be said that Jax's statement has his reasons, and Bai Xiwen's intention judgment is not wrong, but Sheyan closed his eyes and thought carefully for a while at this time:
"Have you considered the issue of aid?"
Siege and aid is a very common tactic, but even though it is common, it is still often used. The reason is that this is completely similar to a conspiracy-like plan. The reinforcements have to be rescued and have to come, so the attackers who are waiting for work are in this respect. It is born with a great advantage.
Bai Xiwen pondered and said:
"It's not that the method of besieging the city is bad, but that the people in Minas Tirith must have a very close communication with the elves, unless the people in Minas Tirith encounter a danger that there is really no way to crack it. The situation then raised the flames of war, which may cause the elves to be in chaos and easy to get caught by traveling overnight. But... "
Bai Xiwen was saving face for Sheyan, but he didn't express the hidden meaning behind it, but there is no doubt that how to make the people in Minas Tirith feel strongly oppressed is imminent.
Sheyan has already said at this time:
"Before that, we have to do two things. The first thing is to deal with the damned city wall of Minas Tirith! Our people are going to rush under the fifth city wall. If we advance according to the normal rules, then You have to endure the rain of arrows and walk for several kilometers."
Having said this, Sheyan sneered and said:
"Then we will not take the route that the enemy wants us to take! In fact, the straight-line distance from the gate of the first city wall to the gate of the fifth city wall is only about 300 meters. Only the first city wall of Nas Tirith is extremely strong, and the quality of the rest of the city walls is a bit poor, not to mention that the regent of Gondor for hundreds of years does not seem to have put his mind on it."
Jax said with a bit of sneer:
"No matter how poor the quality is, it's still a city wall. In this era without firearms, do you rely on pirates to dig?"
Sheyan said lightly:
"So, our team has made a decision to make an investment."
After Fang Senyan spoke, as if he was about to make a footnote to his words, there was an incomparably shrill roar from outside. Incomparably sharp neighing!
Immediately afterwards, the ground trembled slightly, and abnormal ripples appeared in the cups held by everyone...
The iconic creature from the Hudlin people in the south, the most terrifying siege weapon so far, made its debut again!
After Fang Senyan and the others went through some discussions, they actually exchanged this terrifying weapon! Mammoth War Elephant! You know, the Contribution Points and the Sauron Badge spent on exchanging this thing are almost close to the value of legendary equipment, and this thing is still a one-off, there is no way to take it back!
But it has to be said that this move has already hit the seven inches of the human alliance! With this war weapon as high as ten meters, the advantage of the city wall is just a bubble.
