The black orc army came from the north and directly occupied the ruins of River Valley City. And quickly crossed the valley below the mountain, and quickly climbed up the valley in front of the gate.
Woohoo.
There were no trials, no passionate pre-war declarations.
Accompanied by the familiar heavy horn sound, a large number of orcs waved their scimitars, let out disgusting roars, and swarmed towards the gate like a tide.
"shooting!"
At Thorin's shout, the dwarves began to shoot arrows downward from the shooting holes.
Bilbo's feet were weak. He had never seen such a terrifying scene. Outside the thick stone city wall, there are countless ferocious orcs, their yellowed teeth and disgusting faces are almost clearly visible.
These corrupt and depraved creatures screamed desperately, pushing and pushing each other, vowing to destroy all the beautiful things here. The pitiful arrows of the dwarves were like fireflies in front of the orcs in the sky, and they were unable to stop them at all.
The only good thing now is that the dwarves destroyed the only connection between the valley and the gate, a stone path that could accommodate three carriages. The stream of the rushing river flows out from the secret door under the gate and surrounds the gate, forming a defensive belt that is better than nothing.
The orcs would not be able to cross this moat in a short time.
Due to the famous wars in Middle-earth ten years ago, the orc forces suffered a major blow. Bolg may have regained control of the orcs of Gundaba, but his power is far less than that of his father.
They lacked the necessary archers.
The dwarves hid within the thick high walls and used shooting holes to attack, but they were not in danger for a while.
But both Thorin and Bolger knew that this was temporary.
As more and more orcs were either crowded into the fast-flowing and deep river, or took the initiative to jump off the moat that blocked them, some orcs began to successfully climb ashore, and rushed towards the thick stone wall with their claws and teeth bared. .
Although these guys were shot through the throats one by one by Kili very quickly, it was undeniable that this greatly inspired the orcs below.
"Let the war machine move out, don't waste time on these dwarf scum!"
On Raven Ridge, the pale orc Bolger gave the order impatiently.
Then, the dull horn sounded again.
Several tall trolls immediately pushed aside the layers of orcs and came to the valley.
On their backs are slings and large stones, which are loaded by specialized orcs. Then launch it.
"The boulder is coming!"
Fili yelled.
All the dwarves immediately squatted down and hid under the thick wall.
Boom.
In the first move, Xu did not adjust the distance and angle correctly. The large stone, which was at least one meter thick, flew over the high stone wall, crashed into the dark mountains, and hit the cold stone ground.
A huge rumble echoed through the mountains.
With the second blow, the orcs on the troll's back finally adjusted successfully. The boulder flew across the valley and directly hit the stone wall built by the dwarves. Just hearing a roar, Bilbo seemed to feel the mountain shaking.
He fell to the ground, shocked and frightened.
"Fight back! Don't let them destroy the wall!" Thorin opened his short bow with a livid face and took the lead in launching a counterattack. The arrow flew a certain distance and accurately hit the orc on the back of a troll.
When Dwalin, Filikili, and Gloin saw it, they all mustered up the courage to continue shooting.
But there were too many orcs.
Soon, more orcs climbed up the moat and swarmed under the stone wall. The troll's catapults were still firing continuously, and the situation was precarious for a while.
At this moment, just as Thorin and the others did not expect to be attacked by orcs. Bolger also neglected the defense of the east - in Bolger's view, they had the upper hand, and even if someone could detect its plans, they would not be able to respond in time.
But it didn't expect that the spies it sent would be noticed by Legolas and Tauriel, thus exposing the orcs' conspiracy.
Although Thorin stubbornly refused to listen to the advice and refused to leave the kingdom under the mountain, he did not completely lose his mind. He promptly sent a rescue message to Dain II in the Iron Hills through the raven.
As a result, after traveling day and night, the reinforcements from the Iron Hills arrived at the Lonely Mountain almost in tandem with Bolger's orc army.
"Woooooo~~"
Seeing that the dwarves' defense line was about to fall, three very thick horn sounds sounded from the east hillside, like the roar of the mountains.
Even Bolger couldn't help but look over. It didn't expect that reinforcements would actually arrive at this time.
The thick and long mountainous body of the Solitary Mountain blocked its sight, and the Orc Wolf Rider also focused its main energy on the forest elves in the south. As a result, it only discovered at this moment that a group of armored and capable people had gathered on the east hillside. A strong dwarf.
"barukkhazad! khazadai-mênu!"
A sturdy dwarf riding on a huge wild boar shouted, waving his warhammer and pointing at the orcs down the hillside.
Behind him, 500 horned sheep knights shouted in unison and began to charge.
They leveled their spears, slowly and quickly, like a sharp knife, and like a light of hope before despair, piercing the crazy shouts of the orcs in the valley and illuminating the hearts of Thorin and the others.
"It's reinforcements! Reinforcements have arrived!"
"Dain, my brother! You are finally here!"
The thumping of sheep's hooves echoed throughout the valley, but it still couldn't cover up the excited cheers of the dwarves in the mountains.
Almost as soon as Dain's iconic mount appeared, Filikili, Dwalin, and Balin recognized this brave and fearless dwarf hero.
Everyone cheered together, as if victory was already certain.
The cavalry charge was very fast, and the orcs were only slightly delayed before the dwarves' counterattack arrived. With a loud roar, the dwarves in the front row crashed directly into the flanks of the wave of orcs in front of the panicked gate.
Under the huge kinetic energy, the first orc was hung on the long spear, and it did not stop until the second and third orcs were pierced.
These dwarves immediately dropped their spears, drew out their melee axes and warhammers, and continued to charge.
The following horned sheep knights followed more of the cracks made by the dwarves in the front row and crashed into the orc formation, expanding this wave of damage.
These brave and powerful warriors stabbed with spears or chopped with axes, and quickly wiped out the orcs in front of the gate.
Looking at the chaotic, almost collapsed first group of siege troops in front of the gate. Bolger then reacted and roared: "Let the second wave of troops set up a shield formation in the valley, and don't let the dwarf scum break through our lineup! They only have a few hundred people and can't defeat us! Don't retreat, tell them, any If anyone dares to take a step back, there will be no mercy!"
In fact, the pale orc's response cannot be faulted.
It can even be said to be timely.
Although the reinforcements led by Dain II quickly eliminated the first wave of orcs attacking the city, more orcs set up a thick shield formation at the mouth of the valley under the sound of rapid horns, and in turn, Surrounded by the dwarves who lost their speed advantage
"Gather them all! Gather them all!"
Dain Ironfoot waved his warhammer bravely, charging into the plain in front of the gate. The huge wild boar under his crotch roared loudly, knocking down one dirty and smelly orc after another. .
"Let the horned sheep keep up the speed! Don't stop, let's charge for a while, for the king!" Finally, Dyne noticed the Orc shield formation at the entrance of the valley and immediately shouted.
A large group of dwarves gathered behind this brave and fearless dwarf hero and launched a second wave of indomitable charges against the oppressive orc army.
Right now.
Outside the valley, in the direction of the ruins of River Valley City.
The elven army led by Thranduil also arrived.
They didn't even blow their horns, they just rushed and shot arrows into the ruins of River Valley City occupied by the orcs, cutting off Bolger's return.
