legend begins with lord of the rings

A row of siege engines was pushed down not far from the city wall. At the very back of the siege engines was a battering ram specially used to pound the city gates.

As the orcs placed large stones on the siege vehicles, they launched a counterattack against the humans.

"The elven archers stay and shoot the orcs next to the siege equipment. Others retreat and avoid~" Abel shouted while standing on the city wall.

It is now ten o'clock in the night, coupled with the reflection of rain and firelight. The lethality of human archers is very limited. If they stay on the city wall, they will become targets.

When the adventurers retreated, the orcs' "ammunition" was also loaded. Huge stones were fired from the siege vehicles.

For a time, countless stones hit the city wall, and the roar continued.

"King Théoden, tell your people to retreat to the back~" Abel shouted to the Hussar King who was still guarding the city wall.

After most of the adventurers retreated, only the Rohan warriors remained on the city walls.

The first wave of boulders fell, and countless Rohan warriors were killed and injured.

"No, the people of Rohan will never retreat!" Théoden roared: "The Rohan archers continue to shoot, and others protect the archers..."

There are densely packed orcs below, and the archers can shoot arrows at will and hit the enemy. However, the accuracy of the human archers will only do limited damage to the orcs around the siege vehicle.

It can only be said that the King of Rohan chose a strategy of exchanging injuries for injuries.

As the second wave of boulders struck, a large number of soldiers on the city wall were killed and injured again.

With human strength, there is no way to stop the boulders falling from the sky.

A huge stone was about to fall to the high platform where Théoden stood.

"peng~"

At the critical moment, the wizard came to Théoden with his wand and blasted him into powder.

Countless debris fell on Théoden's face and body, and along with the rain, he looked very embarrassed.

"Abel is right, let your people retreat." Gandalf said to the frightened Théoden.

Seeing countless Rohan warriors being smashed to death by boulders in front of me, I could hear the screams of the Rohan warriors in my ears.

Théoden made the right choice: "The archers stay, the others retreat~"

There were about 5,000 Rohan archers left on the city wall, and the other 10,000 or so Rohan warriors hid beside the adventurers.

As the orcs controlling the siege vehicles died one after another, more than half of the elven archers and Rohan archers on the city wall were also killed or injured.

Fortunately, the walls of the Canyon Fortress were relatively strong. Although there were some small cracks, they did not collapse.

The two sides carried out long-range attacks for more than an hour, and the archers' arrows and collected stones were almost exhausted.

The moon also completely hid behind the dark clouds at this time, and the rain became heavier and heavier.

The burning orc corpses under the city wall were also extinguished by the rain.

Without the flame barrier, the lethality of the arrows is getting smaller and smaller.

"Go up the ladder and capture the city wall for me~"

A tall orc roared.

"roar……"

"Rush..."

"Kill them all..."

The orcs rushed towards the city wall again.

Abel and Théoden also quickly organized the soldiers to return to the city wall to stop the orcs' attack.

Under the cover of the large army, the tall orc also gathered a small team of orcs and pushed the battering ram to the city gate.

"Boom~"

"Dong~dong~"

With the rhythmic impact of the battering ram, the city gate shook more and more.

Seeing that the city gate was in danger of being lost, Théoden summoned the Rohan warriors to come to the inside of the city gate and used his body and wood to support the city gate.

At this time, a motley army of hundreds of people slowly moved towards the city gate.

They were the bandits who sneaked into the canyon fortress on the orders of Saruman.

"Kill! Open the city gate to welcome Saruman's army!" the bandit leader shouted, rushing towards Théoden and others.

The battle inside the city gate was about to break out, and the Rohan warriors were caught off guard first.

Then, under Théoden's organization, they launched a counterattack against the bandits.

However, because there was a battering ram hitting the gate outside the city gate, some of the Rohan soldiers had to leave some people to defend the city gate.

Being surrounded by enemies from both sides, the combat effectiveness of the Rohan warriors is very limited. The city gates are also in danger of being opened at any time.

"Metal, take some people to the city gate and help Théoden guard the city gate." Abel also noticed the fighting at the city gate and ordered the dwarves beside him.

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!" Jin Pei took the order and led a group of adventurers to rush down the city wall.

With the addition of dwarves and adventurers, the bandits inside the city gate were quickly wiped out.

Abel watched as more and more orcs gathered outside the city gate. The force of pushing the battering ram became stronger and stronger.

He took out his repeating crossbow and launched a wave of sneak attacks.

After a dozen orcs outside the city gate were shot and killed, they all raised their shields.

"Damn~"

Seeing that the repeating crossbow had little effect, Abel put away the repeating crossbow, lifted up a huge stone left on the city wall, and smashed it down.

After the orcs were in a panic, the tall orc summoned another wave of orcs and came to the city gate.

Gandalf was caught blocking the orcs climbing up the city wall, when movement at the city gate caught his attention.

The wizard came to Abel and waved his magic wand, and a magical energy with orange flames exploded among the orcs.

For a time, the orcs outside the city gate suffered numerous casualties.

Abel looked at the orcs that had been cleared outside the city gate, and the city gate that was crumbling due to magic power. He opened his mouth, but finally said nothing.

The wizard knew that he was reckless and scratched his head in embarrassment.

By this time, the battle had become a tug-of-war, and Abel couldn't care less. He took out a few fist-sized high explosives, lit them, and threw them into the pile of orcs below.

"boom~"

The blast of air cleared a large area of ​​the orcs.

The huge movement caused the orcs attacking the city to pause for a moment.

The human coalition saw Abel's power and cheered one after another.

In one go, the soldiers pushed all the orcs who had climbed onto the city wall down.

At the foot of the ten-meter-high city wall, there were piles of orc corpses.

Inspired by the tall and powerful orcs, countless orcs stepped on the corpses of their companions and launched a fierce attack on the city wall again.

Abel, who was always paying attention to the tall and powerful orcs, found that it was carrying a huge package and came outside the city gate again under the protection of other powerful orcs.

Then, a strong orc holding a grease torch, also protected by his companions, ran towards the city gate.

"Everyone get away, they are going to blow up the door..." Abel shouted to Jin Pei and others inside the city gate.

Hearing Abel's shout, the adventurers inside the city gate retreated one after another.

However, the Rohan warriors organized by Théoden still pressed against the door with all their might.

"Boom~"

"Boom~"

The first sound was the explosion of high explosives thrown by Abel outside the city gate, killing countless orcs.

The second sound was the sound of Orc explosive packs exploding.

For a moment, boulders were flying, the sky was shattering, and the city walls were shaken by the huge power of gunpowder.
