Chapter 435 The Orc Keeping Up with the Times
"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

After a burst of explosions, the orcs began to attack the city.It was not the catapults that the orc army launched first, but the artillery.

Thanks to the birth of the Shenzhou Empire, the natives of Middle-earth knew that there was a siege weapon called "gunpowder" in the world. Although the exact ratio of gunpowder had been strictly guarded by the Shenzhou Empire, Saru As a white-robed wizard, Man calculated the proportion of gunpowder by using the method of deriving the cause from the result. After continuous experiments, he finally formulated the original black gunpowder.

Saruman developed gunpowder, and made cannons through alchemy techniques. Compared with primitive cannons, although the power of black powder is not strong, the cannons are also very primitive, but that is for the Chinese Empire, and for Gondor, This is definitely a big killer!Saruman also created solid bullets and flowering bullets. Since then, artillery has been used as a long-range attack weapon for the orc army. As for the catapult, it has been swept into the dust of history.

"Damn it!" Faramir, Boromir, and Gandalf looked at the rows of artillery of the orc army with hatred, and cursed Saruman with the most vicious language in their hearts.

"Have you no artillery?" Gandalf asked unwillingly.

"We... didn't!" Boromir said bitterly.

"You, alas!" Gandalf sighed, and it was too late to say anything at this time.

"The trebuchet can't hit the enemy, so can the magician army attack the enemy?" Faramir looked at Gandalf and Boromir.

Gandalf was silent for a moment, silently condensed a fireball, and then manipulated the fireball to attack the orc's artillery position, but the distance was too far, and the fireball fell to the ground before flying to the orc's artillery position.

Even Gandalf couldn't attack the Orc's artillery unit, let alone the mage army in the city.

"It really corresponds to a proverb of the Chinese Empire: if you fall behind, you will be beaten. In our eyes, the strong orcs represent backwardness and savagery, and their technology is even more advanced than ours. How can we in Gondor boast of being an advanced civilization?" ?I once suggested to my father to send craftsmen to study in the Chinese Empire, but my father just refused to listen! Strong orcs know how to keep pace with the times, but we still stick to the rules of chivalry, and we are resolutely unwilling to learn advanced technology, otherwise we will die. Don't be so passive!" Faramir hammered the city wall hard and said in a hateful voice.

"I'm leading a cavalry unit, and I'm carrying the Orc's artillery!" Boromir said through gritted teeth, and was about to leave the city with a flick of his cloak.

"You are going to die!" Faramir stopped Boromir and roared, "Are the orc infantry, tauren warriors, and kodo beasts of the orcs all just decorations? Once you go, there must be no one left." Come on, maybe, the orcs are waiting for us to go out!"

"If we don't attack, can we just be beaten passively?" Boromir also hammered the city wall fiercely, and said in a hateful voice.

Gandalf glanced at Boromir and Faramir, and instantly understood in his heart that Boromir is a general but not a commander. If he wants to defend the king's city, he has to rely on Faramir. Although Faramir lost the Star Fortress, but because of Faramir Only by losing the star fortress and mastering the first-hand information of the orcs can they resist the attack of the orcs.

"What advice do you have, Faramir?" cried Gandalf.

"Organize people who have learned ninjutsu in the city and carry out night raids in the dark. It would be best if they can destroy the orcs' artillery. If they can't be defeated, they will cause chaos to the orcs." Faramir said with a deep breath. .

Boromir's eyes lit up.Although Boromir usually looks down on people who practice ninjutsu, thinking that they are a bunch of rubbish, shameless people without a trace of chivalry, but in the current situation, it is these people who know ninjutsu who can solve the predicament at hand.As long as you can use earth escape to lurk under the artillery position of the orc army, and then try to light the orc's gunpowder magazine, without gunpowder, the artillery will be too heavy to be used as a fire stick.

Boromir immediately ordered his personal guards to gather those who had learned ninjutsu in the city and prepare for a night attack.

"Gandalf, can you contact Aragorn?" Falmer looked at Gandalf.

"Yes, although I can't contact Aragorn, I can contact Legolas." Gandalf replied immediately.

Contacting Legolas is equivalent to contacting Aragorn. Falmer nodded, watching the orc army outside the city in silence.

"Are you worried that the ninjas will not be able to destroy the artillery positions, and do you want Aragorn to lead the undead army of Mount Dinghuo to destroy the artillery positions of the Fiery Orcs?" Gandalf asked.

"No! The Orc's artillery attack seems to be powerful, but in fact it is not very lethal. Anyone who has practiced fighting spirit or magic can easily avoid the artillery shells. The Orc's artillery is too primitive, and it shoots The speed is extremely slow, and it will not cause much damage to the city. It will mainly bring psychological pressure, but we have implemented a curfew, and everything has made way for the war. The harm of the artillery has been minimized by us. The people who use magic arts, just let them play by ear and create chaos for the orcs." Faramir talked eloquently.

"Then what do you mean by asking Aragorn?" Gandalf was a little puzzled.

"I want Aragorn to lead Ding Huoshan's undead army to cut off the replenishment of the orcs on the premise of preserving himself. As a surprise soldier, this army must not participate in the frontal battlefield. Even Mina Stiles is in danger of breaking the city." Faramir's face was strangely solemn.

"Why didn't Aragorn participate in the war even if the city was destroyed? Are you worried that Aragorn's great military achievements would lead to the loss of your father's power?" Gandalf's face turned cold and he asked in a deep voice.

"Superficial! In the words of the Chinese Empire, summer insects cannot speak of ice. How long has it been before you are still thinking about fighting for power?" Faramir also looked at Gandalf coldly.

"Then why don't you let Aragorn participate in the battle? The undead army is not afraid of life and death, and its combat effectiveness is very strong." Gandalf said puzzled.

"There is a saying in the Shenzhou Empire: the sword is the most deterrent only when it is not out of its sheath. Aragorn's undead army is this sword. Don't forget, Saruman's undead army has not yet appeared." Faramir pointed Pointing to the darkness in the distance, he said.

Gandalf couldn't help being taken aback, he was caught off guard by the orc army and forgot about Saruman's undead army. Thinking of this, Gandalf couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat.

"I'll contact Legolas right now," Gandalf said hastily.

"Don't worry, tell Aragorn that Minas Tirith can defend for at most three days. If Aragorn can't get reinforcements from the Divine Empire within three days, just wait for the kingdom of Gondor to perish." Falmer Said sadly.

"How is it possible? Amundin's beacon has been lit, and Rohan's cavalry will arrive soon. Rohan's cavalry are all knights who have practiced fighting spirit. Each cavalry has reached the level of a knight. With Rohan's cavalry here , how could Gondor lose its city and die within three days?" Gandalf said.

"Gandalf, who do you think the reinforcements from the Chinese Empire I am talking about are? Aren't they the cavalry of Rohan? Ever since King Théoden's father Sezer entered Chang'an as a hostage and was named the Wise King, Rohan has already It is not the home of the Hussars in Middle-earth, but has become an autonomous region of the Chinese Empire. Without the order of His Majesty the Emperor of the Chinese Empire, Rohan would not be able to send troops to Gondor."

"Don't mention the ancient covenant. The covenant is to be torn up. Even if King Theoden of Rohan abides by the ancient covenant, it will take time for them to come to the aid. They arrive one day earlier and one day later. It makes no difference, but it is the difference between life and death to us, and what if they wait until the city is broken and we are dead?" Faramir asked rhetorically.
