230: Battle of Helm's Deep (2)
"I still reserve my opinion. I will deploy five thousand cavalry outside Helm's Deep. Let them give the Orcs a fatal blow at the right time." Abel thought for a moment and said.
The atmosphere on the city wall became heavy again, and everyone's attention shifted to Théoden.
"Maybe I'm really old..." Théoden said: "I promised you before that this battle will be led by you. I will support you no matter what you want to do. I just hope you can have more compassion for the people of Rohan.
.”
After speaking, Théoden bowed solemnly to Abel.
"I will...I will bring victory to Rohan." After receiving the king's gift, Abel solemnly made a promise.
"Thank you~" Théoden stared into Abel's eyes and said, "If necessary, I will fight to the death for Rohan."
Without waiting for anyone to react, Théoden glanced at the dwarf in the corner, and then walked down the city wall.
"What did I do wrong? Why are you looking at me like this?" Facing everyone's gaze, Jin Pei asked.
Legolas looked at the dwarf and shook his head without saying anything, and followed the others towards the city wall.
"Mr. Abel, can you arrange for me to go outside the city? I think the wilderness with a wide field of vision is more suitable for dwarves to charge." Jin Pei caught up with Abel and whispered.
"I already have a candidate for the ambush team outside the city. I'm afraid I've let you down." Abel rejected the dwarf's request.
Among the adventurers arriving this time, there were 10,000 heavy cavalry, and Abel planned to divide half of them and put them outside the city.
"Don't underestimate the dwarves. You have seen our fighting power before..." Jin Pei was still unwilling to give up easily.
"Of course, I have seen the fighting power of dwarves." Abel said, "But this time I have my own considerations.
Don't be anxious, wait until the time comes and you have the opportunity to charge into battle."
"Then I can decide that the charge into battle must be left to me." Jin Pei said seriously.
Abel nodded and ignored the high-spirited dwarf.
After waiting under the city wall, Abel came to the adventurer's station.
He found each squad leader and once again determined the positions they were guarding. Finally, he divided the heavy cavalry into two waves and let one wave leave the Xiakou Fortress directly.
"The deployment of all parties must be completed before dark. I have a feeling that the orcs will attack tonight." Abel finally reminded the team leaders again.
"Guaranteed to complete the task~" xn
The squad leaders made a commitment at the same time.
On the other side, Théoden also assigned Rohan warriors to various parts of the city wall.
As the army moved, the atmosphere in the Xiakou Fortress became solemn. Ordinary people in the fortress also realized that something big was about to happen.
"Everyone, follow me, we need to move to the canyon behind..." Inside the canyon fortress, Iovin was organizing the retreat of the civilians.
There is a huge canyon behind the fortress, which is a good place to hide.
When Abel finished assigning tasks and was walking in the fortress to relax, Iovine saw him: "Mr. Abel, is the battle about to begin?"
"Yes, there are many orcs gathered outside Helm's Deep. They are likely to attack the fortress tonight." Abel said in a low voice in order not to cause panic among the civilians.
"Really?" Eowen was surprised at first, and then asked with firm eyes: "Can you let me join your army? I can also kill the enemy."
Abel glanced at the long sword on the opponent's waist and asked, "Why don't you join your brother's team?"
"I asked, but neither Eomer nor the king are willing to let me participate in the battle." Eowyn said in despair.
"It's the same here." Abel rubbed the other person's hair and said: "The war is not serious enough to let women go to the battlefield. You can just wait at the rear with peace of mind, and I will bring you victory.
news."
After speaking, Abel shook his head and walked away.
Looking at Elta who was inseparable behind Abel, Iovine muttered dissatisfiedly: "Why can she?"
However, Abel had already walked far away and did not hear the girl's complaint. Even if he heard it, he would not risk letting her join the battle.
The sky gradually darkened, and drizzle began to fall from the sky.
Countless orc teams gathered at Helm's Deep, and under the leadership of powerful orcs, they braved the drizzle and approached the city wall.
Under the sparse moonlight, the armor on the orc's body shimmered with cold light.
On the quiet city wall, Théoden saw densely packed orc troops in the distance.
Abel, Gandalf, Aragorn and others also held their weapons tightly, waiting for the arrival of the orcs.
On the wizard's tower in the distance, Saruman was also paying attention to Helm's Deep through the magic crystal.
"Destroy it, your death will bring new life to Middle-earth!"
Saruman stared at his army with a satisfied look.
He is already considering that after capturing Rohan, he will send troops to capture Gondor. Then the entire Middle-earth will surrender under his feet.
With the entire Middle-earth in his possession, he also had the confidence to deal with the Demon King Sauron.
On Abel's side, he had already estimated the number of orcs through his powerful eyesight.
About 120,000 or so.
"The enemy has entered the shooting range, blow the horn, and the archers start shooting~"
After the enemy approached, Abel gave the order.
"Woo~wu~"
The horn blows.
"Whoosh~whoosh~"
"Whoosh~whoosh~"
Arrows all over the sky flew from the city walls towards the enemy.
After leaving a pile of corpses, the orcs came to the bottom of the city wall.
"Throw the rolling stones~" Abel shouted: "The archers don't stop either..."
Countless wailing sounds came from below, and the shield soldiers and sword soldiers waiting behind them all tightened their weapons.
After the initial panic, the orcs set up a ladder on the city wall between the rolling stones.
"Don't let them come up~" Théoden raised his sword and roared.
Then he led the Rohan warriors to the most important city gate.
After several pulls, the corpses of the orcs were piled in a pile under the city wall.
The other orcs stepped on the bodies of their companions and continued to climb up the city wall.
Abel felt the drizzle in the sky, and it seemed to be getting heavier and heavier.
He no longer waited: "Pour in the kerosene, prepare the archers and rockets~"
In order to ensure the safety of this battle, Abel had prepared a lot of kerosene for the adventurers. He originally planned to use it as a trump card, but the fate of God was not good.
After receiving the order, the adventurers poured barrels of black kerosene down the city wall.
The archers also lit rockets.
"Boom~"
The orange-red firelight illuminated the entire night sky.
Countless burning people were wailing, rolling, and running under the city wall...
The corpses of the orcs at the foot of the city wall also built a layer of protection for the canyon fortress.
With the new protection, the human soldiers above felt much more relaxed.
Although the battle lasted only a short time, the warriors felt exhausted after enduring the first and most violent attack from the orcs.
"Archers take turns to rest, others should not relax~" Abel reminded everyone loudly.
Seeing that the city wall could not be attacked for a long time, the orcs below pushed siege equipment from behind the team.
