Helm's Deep.
Cold winter night.
It's snowing heavily.
The "temperature" of the battlefield where the Horn Fort is located is scorching hot, and you can't feel the cold at all.
The long dragon of burning torches in the formation of the strong orc army lit up the night sky, and the flames reached the sky.
On the tall and solid walls of the Horn Keep, human and elven warriors stood ready, their swords at war with each other.
When Rohan's side "Morgan" cheers resounded throughout the battlefield.
The momentum of the defenders on the Horn Castle then surged and reached its highest point.
At this time, the leaderless orc army finally selected a second leader.
Regardless of the morale of his side, the second leader of the strong orcs, who also had the white palm mark on his chest, stood on the boulder and immediately waved his weapon and pointed at the Horn Castle opposite and roared.
next moment.
The huge orc army finally moved into action, charging toward the Horn Castle with strange screams.
The war begins.
"Bang bang bang bang..."
"Bang bang bang bang..."
For a moment, the ground shook and the roar shook the sky.
The orc army launched a charge attack.
All the soldiers in the Horn Fort immediately became nervous.
Tall and solid exterior wall.
Morgan pulled out the elf sword from his waist the moment he saw the orcs launching an attack.
"Bows and arrows ready!"
Morgan raised his sword high and roared with all his strength.
Even in the chaotic and noisy battlefield of Hornburg, Morgan's powerful roar could still be heard clearly in the ears of the soldiers on and below the outer wall.
As Morgan's order sounded, everyone on the outer wall raised their longbows again.
At this time, the elite elves from Lothlorien, under the command of Morgan, drew their bows and arrows in an extremely orderly manner.
Morgan's eyes quickly scanned the entire outer wall of warriors.
Even the warriors on the outer wall who were human beings like him were almost all Rohan's elite hussars who could shoot and fight.
Not to mention combat power.
Compared with military discipline and personal discipline, Rohan elites are obviously much worse than elven warriors.
The discipline and excellent military formation of the elven army are obvious to almost the entire Middle-earth world.
Take what Morgan has seen as an example: The elven warriors in Mirkwood are so disciplined;
The same goes for the elven warriors of Lothlorien;
As for the rest of Rivendell, although Morgan has not yet seen their army formation, they will definitely not be less disciplined than the armies of the other two elven forces.
"Bang bang bang bang..."
The orc army rushed towards the entire Horn Castle. Naturally, the first one to bear the brunt was the outer wall, which occupied the longest and widest area and seemed to be the easiest to conquer.
"Bang bang bang bang..."
Dark and dense, countless orcs armed with black weapons and armor rushed towards them with extremely ferocious morale.
Morgan raised his sword high and stared at the black army rushing below with extremely calm eyes.
No orders from Morgan.
The soldiers on the outer wall did not dare to fire their bows.
"Bang bang bang..."
The rumble of chaotic footsteps.
Seeing the orcs charging fiercely in front of them getting closer and closer, the soldiers on the city wall could almost clearly see the armor style of the orcs charging below, and the hideous and ugly faces under the helmets.
Morgan still looked calm and said nothing.
Many impatient warriors were anxious but did not dare to take any action. They could only endure it and aim their long bows at their chosen targets better.
The Orcs' charge is not slow.
Soon, the vanguard of the Orc army finally stepped into the best shooting distance of the outer wall.
Morgan finally yelled the order again: "Launch!"
The moment the raised elf sword fell down.
"Swish swish..."
"Swish swish..."
Countless arrows immediately shot out from the hands of the warriors on the outer wall.
An overwhelming rain of arrows shot towards the formation of the strong orc army below.
The next second.
The soldiers in the front row of the orc army, who were charging forward with strange screams, immediately screamed and fell down in pieces.
The first round of arrow rain on the outer wall was completed.
Taking advantage of the time while they were reloading arrows, Morgan immediately took a few steps back and came to the back wall and shouted at the neatly arranged warriors inside the wall: "Prepare arrows!"
The soldiers who had been waiting for a long time immediately drew their bows and nocked arrows.
Because the standing position is different, the height and skill of shooting arrows are naturally also different.
The soldiers inside the city wall prepared with their bows and arrows raised high.
Seeing the soldiers below preparing quickly, Morgan immediately shouted without any ink this time: "Launch!"
"Swish, swish, swish..."
A rain of black arrows immediately shot past the warriors on the outer wall and fell towards the Orc army formation ahead.
The orcs who had just rushed up were harvested and fell into pieces again.
at the same time.
On the Horn Rock fortress where the city gate is located.
On a towering terrace in the inner city.
Éomer and King Théoden both spoke up.
"Swish swish swish..."
Two more waves of arrows shot towards the brightly lit orc army against the wind and snow in the night sky.
Groups of orc warriors fell.
But more orcs from behind rushed forward desperately.
The empty battlefield positions were quickly filled.
The continuous rain of arrows did not scare the Orc army, but instead aroused their aggressive and chaotic nature.
The orc army rushed in like a tide.
At this time, a large number of orcs who had slipped through the net and escaped the arrows were about to rush to the outer city wall.
At this moment, Morgan decisively shouted again: "Free fire!"
"Free fire next!"
Morgan ordered.
All the warriors immediately picked their targets, drew their bows, and shot arrows.
"Swish swish..."
The orcs who were close to the outer city wall were shot to death one by one.
But more orcs carried dozens of meters long siege ladders and rushed up to the city wall.
There was no need for Morgan to say anything.
These strong orcs are the targets for the warriors to focus their fire on.
But when a strong orc died, the strong orc behind him immediately took over and carried the ladder and continued to rush forward.
Finally, under the outer wall of the Horn Castle, the long protruding road in front of the Horn Rock Fort where the gate is located was densely packed with an army of strong orcs.
"Bang bang bang bang..."
Several loud noises were heard from the outer wall.
Long ladders made of steel were set up on the outer city wall.
When one by one the strong orcs crazily climbed towards the top of the city wall.
Morgan immediately looked at the middle-aged warrior leader beside him and said, "Okay, give them some extra ingredients."
The middle-aged leader Malen immediately nodded and strode back.
Soon, a large number of thorny logs, stones, and finally buckets of extremely stinky golden juice that had been prepared for this moment were moved onto the outer wall.
One by one, strong warriors moved these defensive materials in front of the outer wall.
Immediately afterwards, in addition to bows and arrows, there was a new way to deal with the orc monsters that kept climbing up the ladder.
"I'm coming..."
"Quickly, throw it down and give it a good look to the monsters below..."
"Oh my god, this thing stinks so much..."
"Stop talking nonsense, help quickly..."
"Be careful, these are just boiled feces, very hot..."
"Not only is it smelly and hot, but it's also very dangerous and fatal. If you get infected by this thing, just wait to die..."
"This time, let these Uruk bastards from Essinger be the first to have a taste..."
For a time, the city wall was extremely noisy and noisy.
In front of the steel ladders, below are strong orcs holding shields and struggling to climb up.
Arrows continued to shoot from all around, and the orcs kept hitting and falling, but more orcs swarmed up.
Several human warriors picked up the giant thorny rolling log and threw it down the ladder.
The huge rolling logs falling from the sky easily swept away the strong orcs on the ladder.
However, within just a few breaths, more orcs rushed to the ladder to fill their positions.
After the prickly log, there is boiled golden excrement juice.
When the human warriors on the city wall endured the stench, they poured the golden juice down.
The next second.
"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah..."
A series of shrill screams immediately echoed throughout the battlefield.
One by one, the orcs were burned and fell off the ladder.
But more orc warriors were still brave enough to rush towards the ladder and climb up desperately.
Throughout the Hornburg battlefield, Rohan and Isengard were in a stalemate at the beginning of the war.
"Ten..."
"Eleven..."
"twelve..."
On the city wall, Legolas kept arrows in his hand and muttered incessantly.
This made the dwarf Gimli, who was standing aside with a helmet just flush with the city wall in front of him, extremely envious.
He kept jumping up and imagining looking down, but to no avail. He could only listen to Legolas beside him constantly reporting the number of enemies killed to make him envious and anxious.
"Can you put some Uruks up for me?"
Gimli blushed and shouted to Legolas beside him, they were still betting, and they couldn't lose again this time.
"Of course not..."
Legolas glanced at Gimli beside him and said casually: "Fourteen..."
The words just fell.
Suddenly there was a fierce and strange scream from the orc army below.
Legolas immediately poked his head out and saw more steel ladders being transported from the orcs' rear military formation to the city wall.
Seeing the sudden appearance of more than a dozen steel ladders rising rapidly towards the top of the city wall, Legolas' expression changed drastically.
at the same time.
Not far away, Morgan also saw the dozens of steel ladders being erected on the city wall. At the moment, he realized that relying solely on bows and arrows could no longer prevent the orcs from climbing the wall, so he immediately raised his sword high and turned towards the soldiers. They shouted: "Draw your sword!"
"Draw your sword and prepare to fight!"
Morgan's roar of command quickly spread throughout the city walls.
Many soldiers who were awakened by Morgan reacted and immediately drew their swords.
At this time, even after the battle, the elf warriors who were no longer in neat formation were still drawing their swords in sync.
"Swish, brush, brush..."
The elves and Rohan hussars, who had abandoned their bows for swords, had just drawn their swords.
On the steel ladder, a large number of strong orcs have quickly climbed to the top of the ladder, and the first one has even jumped onto the city wall.
"Kill them!"
Suddenly, a strong orc leader climbed to the top of the ladder and looked at everyone and roared angrily.
at this time.
Legolas turned around suddenly and shot the arrow in his hand rapidly at the arrogant orc leader.
The next second.
"Whoosh..."
The sound of arrows piercing the air shot out.
The roaring orc leader was instantly hit by an arrow in his neck and fell off the ladder.
Morgan wielded his sword and finally faced his first enemy in this war.
"kill!"
Morgan rushed forward with swords in both hands, and the two orcs who had just jumped down from the ladder immediately rushed towards Morgan with strange screams.
Morgan immediately accelerated his steps forward, passing through the two orcs at lightning speed.
"puff..."
"puff..."
Two sweet sounds sounded, and two ugly and bloody heads with tight helmets on their heads flew up immediately.
Almost all of these strong orcs are wearing full-body armor.
Although the smelting and forging technology of weapons and equipment is not very good, it is still steel armor after all.
To deal with a warrior wearing full armor, the best place to start is the neck.
And the best way to kill is beheading.
Of course, the orcs are no different against the heavily armed elves and human hussars.
The moment when dozens of steel ladders of the Orc army covered the outer wall of the Horn Castle, and a large number of Orc warriors stepped onto the outer wall.
In the entire solid outer wall corridor, the battle escalated instantly, and the battle became extremely fierce.
"kill!"
The battle lines on the outer wall are fiercely stalemate.
On the narrow rock path in front of the gate of Horn Rock where the Horn Castle is located.
There are also a large number of strong orc warriors gathered together, holding shields on their heads and slowly moving towards the front door.
On the high platform of the inner wall.
King Théoden looked at the battlefield in the distance ahead with a calm expression.
But my heart was filled with anxiety.
There was no way, this battle was related to the survival of the entire Kingdom of Rohan, so how could he not be worried or anxious.
Behind the inner wall of the Horn Keep.
Inside the beautiful, curved and strange Jinghui Cave.
A large number of Edoras residents looked extremely nervous.
At this time, the residents hiding inside all knew that a life-and-death war was going on outside.
No one can truly calm down.
Eowen, who was wearing a long blue dress, also stood nervously at the entrance of Jinghui Cave, her eyes constantly looking outside with a worried look on her face.
The wind and snow in the night sky became even bigger.
On the outer city wall.
The clash of weapons, strange screams, roars, and screams all rang out.
The battle was fierce.
Compared to the outer wall corridor where the elites from the human side gather.
The orcs who climbed up from dozens of steel ladders were far worse.
After all, the number of Orcs who can climb the ladder at a time is limited.
In Legolas, Gimli, Aragorn and especially Morgan as the coach.
Led by these four heroic units who are obviously far stronger than ordinary elite warriors.
The steel ladders of the Orcs have almost turned into machines for adding people to the tactics.
Every time the orcs who jumped into the corridor of the outer wall were killed by the human elves, the orcs climbing up the steel ladder seemed to have just received a new batch of goods.
"kill!"
Morgan quickly approached the ladder with swords in both hands, and the three orcs who had just jumped off the ladder immediately rushed over with ferocious expressions.
"Flash!"
Morgan instantly disappeared in front of the three powerful orcs.
The next second.
Morgan appeared behind the three powerful orcs.
Behind him, three tall, strong orcs with ferocious faces froze.
Immediately afterwards, three bloody heads rolled down, and black, smelly blood flowed all over the floor.
Morgan didn't look back and ran straight towards the orc who was climbing up again.
at this time.
He saw a large number of strong orcs gathered at the water outlet under the corner of the outer wall ahead.
He also saw several huge stones that had been moved away from the water outlet, and a figure in full armor holding a burning torch who was quickly rushing towards the corner outlet.
Morgan suddenly remembered something, his expression suddenly changed, and he immediately shouted forward: "Legolas, kill him!"
"Kill the torch bearer!"
Hearing Morgan's roar, Legolas immediately turned his head and looked around. He kept holding the bow and arrow in his hand. Regardless of what was different about Uruk, who was running wildly with a torch, he raised his hand and shot out an arrow.
"Whoosh..."
The arrow hit the orc torchbearer's neck, and the orc fell to the ground.
Just the next moment.
Another strong orc immediately took over the torch from the fallen orc and continued to run forward.
Morgan's expression changed drastically. He quickly stepped forward and killed the attacking orc with his sword. He snatched the spear from the opponent's hand and threw it towards the orc who was running wildly again with a torch in the corner of the city wall below.
"Whoosh..."
The spear shot out like an arrow.
The next second.
The spear instantly penetrated the orc holding the torch and pinned him to the ground.
