Chapter 434
Faramir's proposal moved Gandalf very much. What Gandalf cared about was not the secular kingship, but the overall situation and fighting against the forces of darkness.But Gandalf thought for a long time and finally shook his head slowly.

"Why?!" Faramir asked in bewilderment.

"Because your father will not give up the power in his hand." Gandalf said with a glance at Faramir.

In all honesty, Faramir's proposal is quite in line with Gandalf's wishes, and even if Gondor followed Rohan's example and surrendered to the Chinese Empire, it would not have much impact on Faramir itself. Having an older brother Boromir, Faramir had no inheritance at all.

However, as long as anything is mixed with political factors, no matter how simple it is, it will become extremely complicated.

"Where is the human ranger Aragorn, the son of Arathorn and the 39th descendant of Essizer?" Farmer suddenly asked.

"Aragorn went to Mount Dinghuo." Gan Dao replied.

"The undead army of Dinghuo Mountain? I understand, Gandalf, I want to ask, if, I mean, if I surrender to the Chinese Empire in the name of Aragorn, will I ask for the reinforcements of the Chinese Empire?" Faramir asked in a deep voice.

"What do you want to do?" Gandalf stared at Faramir with lightning eyes.

"I want to make the vast majority of the residents of Minas Tirith survive as much as possible. I want more people in Gondor to survive. Only by facing the army of orcs can we know how terrible the army of orcs is. Our odds are not high," Faramir said.

Gandalf looked at Faramir, and suddenly remembered that Faramir had studied in Jixia Academy. Presumably, Faramir had seen the power of the Chinese Empire during his studies, so he immediately thought of asking the Chinese Empire for help.

"You can't represent Aragorn. Before Aragorn arrives, no one can plead with the Chinese Empire in the name of Aragorn! However, after Aragorn arrives in Minas Tirith, you can try to persuade Aragorn." Gandalf said in a deep voice. After speaking, Gandalf drew his hands in the air, and a fireball appeared in Gandalf's hands.

"Gandalf, what are you doing?" Faramir subconsciously drew his sword and asked loudly.

"It's time to light the beacon of Amundine." After Gandalf said, the fireball in his hand "huh~" flew straight to the beacon tower, and with a bang, Amundine's beacon was lit.

The beacons were lit one after another, like a relay race, passed out one after another, towards Rohan.

"Amundine's beacon is lit, and hope is also lit." Gandalf took a long breath.

"Hope?" Faramir looked at Amundine's beacon in silence, and finally sighed: "I hope this hope is not like a candle in the wind, which will go out at any time."

"Woooo~" The vast horns of the strong orc army sounded, and the strong orc army began to slowly approach the city wall, stopping outside the range of magic and bow and arrow strikes.

"This is this?" Faramir asked, looking at the huge monster under the city.

"This is a Kodo." Gandalf said in a deep voice, looking at the Kodo surrounded by boundless orc infantry.

The strong orc army did not immediately attack the city, but set up a formation outside the city, and then stalemate.

"Why didn't they attack the city immediately?" Boromir pursed his lips and asked in a deep voice.

"The so-called best is to attack the strategy, attack the city is the bottom, and attack the heart is the top. They are playing psychological warfare to force us. When our hearts are nervous, we will inevitably reveal flaws. When the flaws are exposed, they will attack the city." Farah Mo explained.

After a moment of silence, Boromir breathed out and said, "Is this what you learned in Jixia Academy?"

"Yes, Jixia Academy not only teaches magic battle qi, but also offers strategy courses." Faramir explained.

"Then when do you think the orc army will attack the city?" Boromir continued to ask.

"Evening," said Faramir without thinking.

"At night? It's dark at night. No matter how good the orcs' vision is at night, it's not as good as during the day." Boromir was puzzled.

"The attack at night is not about the city, but about the heart. What I'm worried about is the powerful orc sword master. By then, there will be an army of orcs outside attacking the city, and there will be sword masters inside who will wreak havoc. By then, everyone in the city, from the nobles to the poor, will be attacked. People are panicking, and I am even more worried. If the sword master destroys my food reserves with fire, then the orcs will be able to trap us to death without attacking the city." Faramir said in a deep voice.

"I'll immediately send experts to protect the grain and grass." Boromir said in surprise.

"Hey, this is a conspiracy. Sending masters to protect the food and grass, the place where the food and grass are stored must be heavily guarded, clearly telling the beast race that the food and grass are here; if you don't send heavy troops to protect it, the beast race sword master will easily burn all the food and grass. ’” Faramir sighed.

"Shou is not, but it is not, so what should we do?" Boromir's face changed again and again, "You learned all these in Jixia Academy?"

"Yes. It is precisely because the more I learn at Jixia Academy, the more I feel my ignorance, and the more terrifying the Chinese Empire is. To put it in a depressing way, even if we defeat the orc army, we will win the battle." So what if the undead army is defeated and Saruman is defeated? The so-called snipe and clam fight and the fisherman benefits. ” Faramir was pessimistic.

"These things are for the future. All we have to do is to guard Minas Tirith. As for the follow-up matters, leave it to your father and Aragorn..." Gandalf also sighed, and then said: "How to guard against the sabotage of the orcs?"

"We can only follow the trick of pretending to be real. Not only must we guard the grain depot, but we must also send heavy soldiers and military experts to guard it. Similarly, we must set up several traps and send heavy soldiers and military experts to guard it. Let the strong orcs use their swords. The Holy One cannot distinguish reality from fiction." Faramir blurted out his thoughts.

Boromir and Gandalf glanced at each other, then at Faramir deeply, and set to work.

Saruman really used a tactic to attack the heart. Once the number of people exceeded ten thousand, it was boundless. Hundreds of thousands of strong orcs surrounded Minas Tirith tightly. Looking at it from the city, a person would definitely feel dry. , the heartbeat speeds up, and the mood is tense. When you are nervous, you will be afraid, when you are afraid, you will be confused, and when you are chaotic, you will be even more chaotic. If there is huge chaos and roaring in the city, there is no need to fight this battle.

Faramir watched the riots begin in the city, and signaled Gandalf to stabilize the morale of the army first, and then he took his personal guards to form a picket, and directly ordered in the name of the Regent of Gondor to implement a curfew, and in troubled times, he used heavy codes, as long as he was not in the house Anyone who avoids or wanders outside the house will be beheaded directly.

Faramir insisted on using this iron-blooded method and adding dozens of heads to suppress the riots in the city.

At the same time, Boromir first dispersed the stored grain in the grain depot, and then sent heavy troops to guard it, and set up some traps, waiting for the orc sword master to come.

Boromir, Falmer, and Gandalf, who had finished all this, gathered at the top of the city to prepare their army for the next orc siege.

At night, the horns of the orcs sounded, and the orc army began to attack the city.
