Chapter 221 Turn the tide!

Helm's Deep.

An icy winter night.

It was snowing heavily.

The "temperature" of the battlefield where the Horn Fort is located is scorching hot, and it doesn't feel cold at all.

The burning torch dragons in the army formation of the strong orcs lit up the night sky, and the flames soared into the sky.

On the tall and fortified walls of the Horn Fort, human and elf warriors are waiting in full battle, their swords drawn.

When the cheers of "Morgan" on the Rohan side resounded throughout the battlefield.

The momentum of the defenders on the Horn Fort immediately rose to the highest point.

At this time, the army of strong orcs without a leader finally elected a second leader.

Ignoring his side's morale injury, the second leader of the orcs, who also had the mark of the white palm on his chest, stood on the boulder, and immediately brandished his weapon and pointed at the Horn Fort on the opposite side, roaring.

next moment.

The huge army of strong orcs finally moved, screaming and rushing towards the Horn Fort.

The war has begun.

"Bang bang bang bang."

"Bang bang bang bang."

For a moment, the ground shook, and the roar shook the sky.

The orc army launched a charge attack.

All the soldiers in the Horn Fort immediately became tense.

Tall and solid exterior walls.

The moment Morgan saw the orcs launching an attack, he pulled out the elf sword from his waist.

"Prepare your bows and arrows!"

Morgan held up the long sword in his hand and roared with all his strength.

Even in the chaotic and noisy Horn Fort battlefield at this time, Morgan's full-bodied roar still clearly fell into the ears of the soldiers on the outer wall and under the outer wall.

With the sound of Morgan's order, everyone on the outer wall raised their longbows again.

At this time, the elite elves from Lothlorian, under the order of Morgan, drew their bows and nocked arrows in an extremely orderly manner.

Morgan's eyes quickly swept across the entire outer wall of the soldiers.

Even the warriors on the outer wall who were human beings like himself were almost all the elite hussars of Rohan who could shoot and fight.

Not to mention combat power.

Compared with military discipline and personal discipline, the Rohan elites are obviously much worse than the elf warriors.

The discipline and excellent military formation of the elves army is obvious to all in the whole world of Middle-earth.

Take what Morgan has seen with his own eyes: the elf warriors in Mirkwood are so disciplined;
So did the Elven warriors of Lothlorien;

As for the rest of Rivendell, although Morgan hadn't seen their army formation yet, he would definitely be no less disciplined than the other two elves' armies.

"Bang bang bang bang."

The orc army rushed towards the entire Horn Fort, and the first to bear the brunt was the outer wall, which occupied the longest and widest area and seemed the easiest to attack.

"Bang bang bang bang."

It was black and dense, and countless orcs in black armed weapons and armor rushed forward with extremely fierce morale.

Morgan held his long sword high, and stared calmly at the black army rushing below.

No orders from Morgan.

The soldiers on the outer wall did not dare to open their bows.

"bang bang bang"

The sound of chaotic footsteps boomed.

Seeing the ferocious half-orcs rushing closer and closer, the soldiers on the city wall could almost see the armor pattern on the half-orcs charging below, and the hideous and ugly faces under the helmets.

Morgan remained calm and said nothing.

Many impatient warriors were anxious but did not dare to take any action. They could only hold back, and could only better aim the longbow in their hands at the target they had chosen.

The orc's charge was not slow.

Soon, the forward of the strong orc army finally stepped into the best shooting distance of the outer wall.

Morgan finally yelled the order again: "Fire!"

The elf sword that was held high fell instantly.

"whoosh whoosh"

"whoosh whoosh"

Countless arrows shot out from the hands of the soldiers on the outer wall immediately.

A rain of arrows shot towards the strong orc army below like a rain of arrows.

next second.

With strange screams, the soldiers in the front row of the strong orc army rushing towards them immediately fell down in pieces screaming.

The first round of arrow rain on the outer wall is over.

Taking advantage of the time when they were loading their arrows, Morgan immediately stepped back a few steps and came to the back wall and shouted at the soldiers lined up inside the wall: "Arrows are ready!"

The soldiers who had been waiting for a long time immediately raised their bows and arrows.

Because the standing positions are different, the height skills of the arrows are naturally also different.

The soldiers inside the city wall raised their bows and arrows, ready to go.

Seeing that the soldiers below were quickly getting ready, Morgan immediately shouted this time without any inkling: "Launch!"

"whoosh whoosh thin"

The rain of black arrows immediately shot through the soldiers on the outer wall and fell towards the strong orc army in front.

The strong orcs who had just rushed up were harvested and fell down in pieces.

at the same time.

On the Horn Rock Fortress where the gates are located.

On the towering terrace of the inner city.

Éomer and King Theoden spoke together.

"Whoosh whoosh."

Another two waves of arrow rain shot towards the brightly lit orc army against the snowstorm in the night sky.

Batches of orc warriors fell down.

But more orcs in the rear rushed forward desperately.

The battlefield positions that have been harvested are quickly filled.

The continuous rain of arrows did not scare the orc army, but aroused their aggressive and chaotic nature.

The army of strong orcs rushed in like a tide.

At this time, a large number of strong orcs who slipped through the net and escaped the arrows were about to rush under the outer city wall.

At this moment, Morgan decisively yelled again: "Free fire!"

"Next, free fire!"

Morgan's order fell.

All the soldiers immediately picked their targets and drew their bows and shot their arrows.

"whoosh whoosh"

The strong orcs who were close to the outer city wall were shot to death one by one.

But more orcs rushed up to the city wall with tens of meters of siege ladders.

There was no need for Morgan to say anything.

These strong orcs were the targets of the soldiers' concentrated fire.

But a strong orc died, and the strong orc behind him immediately took over the ladder and continued to rush forward.

Finally, under the outer wall of the Horn Fortress, the protruding long road in front of the Horn Rock Fortress where the gate was located was densely packed with an army of orcs.

"Bang bang bang bang."

Several loud bangs came from under the outer wall.

A long ladder made of steel was erected on the outer city wall.

When a strong orc crazily climbed towards the top of the city wall.

Morgan immediately looked at the middle-aged warrior leader beside him and said, "Okay, give them some food."

The middle-aged leader Mullen immediately nodded and strode back.

Soon, a large number of thorny logs, stones, and the last bucket of stinking golden juice that had been preparing for this moment were moved onto the outer wall.

A strong fighter moved these defensive materials to the front of the outer wall.

Immediately afterwards, besides bows and arrows, there was a new way to deal with the orc monsters who kept climbing up the ladder.

"I'm coming."

"Hurry up, throw it down, let the monsters below look good"

"Oh my god, this stuff really stinks."

"Don't talk nonsense, help quickly"

"Careful, these are freshly boiled poop, very hot"

"Not only is it smelly and hot, but it is also very dangerous and deadly. If you are infected by this thing, you will die."

"This time let these Uruk bastards from Essinger be the first to taste it."

For a while, the city wall was very lively and noisy.

In front of a series of steel ladders, below are strong orcs struggling to climb up with shields in hand.

Arrows continued to shoot around, and the orcs kept falling, but more orcs swarmed up.

Several human warriors picked up the giant barbed log and threw it down the ladder.

The giant log falling from the sky easily wiped away the orcs on the ladder.

However, in just a few breaths, more orcs rushed to the ladder to fill their positions.

The barbed log is followed by a golden juice of boiled dung.

When the human warriors on the city wall resisted the stench and poured down the golden juice.

next second.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah."

A shrill scream immediately echoed throughout the battlefield.

A strong orc was so hot that he fell off the ladder.

But more orc warriors still rushed to the ladder and climbed desperately without fear of death.

Throughout the Horn Fort battlefield, Rohan and Isinger were in a stalemate at the beginning of the war.

"Ten."

"Eleven."

"twelve"

On the city wall, Legolas kept arrows in his hand and muttered incessantly.

This made Jin Li, the dwarf who was standing beside him with a helmet on his head so that it was at the same level as the city wall in front of him, extremely envious.

He kept jumping up and imagining looking down, but it didn't help at all. He could only listen to Legolas constantly reporting the number of enemies killed by his side to make him envious and anxious.

"Can you put a few Uruks up for me?"

Gimli blushed and shouted towards Legolas beside him, they are still betting, this time they can't lose again.

"Of course not"

Legolas glanced at Jin Li beside him, and said casually, "Fourteen."

The voice just fell.

Suddenly, there was a fierce strange cry from the strong orc army below.

Legolas poked his head out immediately, and saw a larger number of steel ladders being transported from the orcs' rear formation to the city wall.

Seeing the sudden appearance of more than a dozen steel ladders quickly rising towards the top of the city wall, Legolas' expression changed drastically.

at the same time.

Morgan, who was not far away, also saw the moment when the dozen or so steel ladders were put on the city wall, and realized that relying on bows and arrows alone could not stop the orcs from climbing the wall, so he immediately raised his long sword and turned towards a group of soldiers. They shouted: "Draw your sword!"

"Draw your sword and prepare to fight!"

The roar of Morgan's orders quickly spread through the walls.

Many soldiers who were awakened by Morgan realized this, and immediately pulled out their long swords.

At this time, even after the battle, the elf warriors whose formation was no longer in order were still in sync with their sword drawing postures.

"Swipe, brush, brush."

The elves and the hussars of Rohan who had exchanged their bows for their swords had just drawn their long swords.

On the steel ladder, a large number of orcs have quickly climbed to the top of the ladder, and the first one has even jumped onto the city wall.

"Kill them!"

Suddenly, a strong orc leader climbed to the top of the ladder, looked at the crowd and roared angrily.

at this time.

Legolas turned around suddenly, and shot the arrow in his hand at the arrogant orc leader.

next second.

"whoosh"

The sound of arrows piercing through the air shot out.

The leader of the roaring orcs instantly got an arrow in the neck and fell off the ladder.

Morgan swung his longsword and finally met his first enemy of the war.

"kill!"

Morgan rushed up with swords in both hands, and the two strong orcs who had just jumped off the ladder immediately rushed towards Morgan with strange screams.

Morgan immediately accelerated his steps forward, and his figure quickly passed through the two strong orcs with lightning speed.

"puff"

"puff"

Two pleasant sounds sounded, and two hideous, bloody heads with tight helmets flew up immediately.

Almost all of these orcs are covered with full-body armor.

Although the smelting and forging technology of weapons and equipment is not very good, it is steel armor after all.

To deal with a warrior in full body armor, the best place to start is the neck.

And the best way to kill is to behead.

Of course, the orcs dealt with heavily armed elves and human hussars similarly.

The moment when the strong orc army built dozens of steel ladders all over the outer wall of the Horn Fort, and a large number of strong orc warriors stepped on the outer wall.

In the entire solid outer wall corridor, the battle escalated instantly, and the battle became extremely fierce.

"kill!"

The battle lines on this side of the outer wall were fiercely stalemate.

On the narrow rocky road in front of the Horn Rock gate where the Horn Fortress is located.

There are also a large number of strong orc warriors gathered together, with shields on their heads, slowly moving towards the front gate.

On the high platform of the inner wall.

King Theoden looked calmly at the battlefield in the distance ahead.

But in my heart I was very anxious.

There is no way, this battle is related to the survival of the entire Rohan Kingdom, so how can he not worry about it.

Behind the inner wall of the Horn Fort.

Beautiful, curved, and bizarre inside the Crystal Cave.

A large number of residents of Edoras looked extremely nervous.

At this time, the residents hiding inside all know that a life-and-death war is going on outside.

No one can really calm down.

Eowyn, who was wearing a long blue dress, also stood nervously at the entrance of Jinghui Cave, her eyes kept looking outside, with a worried expression on her face.

The snowstorm in the night sky is getting bigger.

Outer city wall.

The sound of weapons colliding, strange screams, roars, and screams all rang out.

The battle was fierce.

Compared to the outer wall and corridor home field where the elites of the human side gather.

The orcs who climbed up from dozens of steel ladders were much worse.

After all, the number of Orcs climbing up the ladder each time is limited.

In Legolas, Gimli, Aragon and especially Morgan as the coach.

Under the leadership of these four hero units who are obviously far stronger than ordinary elite fighters.

The orc's steel ladder has almost turned into a machine for head-fueling tactics.

Every time the orcs who jumped into the corridor of the outer wall were killed by the human elves, the orcs climbing up the steel ladder seemed to have just added a new batch of goods.

"kill!"

Morgan quickly approached the ladder with swords in both hands, and the three orcs who had just jumped off the ladder immediately rushed over with hideous expressions.

"Flash!"

Morgan disappeared in front of the three strong orcs in an instant.

next second.

Morgan appeared behind the trio of orcs.

Behind him, three tall, strong orcs with hideous faces froze.

Immediately afterwards, three bloody heads rolled down, and black and stinky blood flowed all over the ground.

Morgan didn't look back, and rushed straight to the orc who was climbing up again.

at this time.

He saw a large number of orcs gathered at the water outlet under the corner of the outer wall ahead.

He also saw several huge stones being moved away from the side of the water outlet, and a figure in full armor holding a flaming torch quickly rushing towards the water outlet at the corner.

Morgan suddenly remembered something, his complexion changed drastically, and he immediately yelled at his partner in front of him: "Legolas, kill him!"

"Kill that torchbearer!"

Hearing Morgan's roar, Legolas immediately turned his head to look, the bow and arrow in his hand kept going, and regardless of the difference between Uruk who was running wildly with a torch, he raised his hand and shot it out.

"whoosh"

The arrow hit the orc torchbearer's neck, and the orc fell to the ground.

Just the next moment.

The other orc immediately took over the torch from the fallen orc and continued to run wildly forward.

Morgan's complexion changed drastically, and he quickly stepped forward to kill the orc who was attacking with his sword, grabbed the spear from the opponent's hand, raised the gun and threw it at the orc who was running again with a torch in the corner of the city wall below.

"whoosh"

The spear shot out like an arrow.

next second.

The spear pierced through the orc holding the torch in an instant, nailing him to the ground.
