Evil in the Movie World

Chapter 584 Battle of Helm's Deep 3
The previous war situation has shown that Helm's Deep has understood the power of explosives, and it is already very difficult to use explosives to blow up the city walls.

Looking at the half-orc who had been adjusted and attacked again below, he found that the opponent's attack was focused on the city gate.

The gate of Helm's Deep is special. A narrow staircase connects the gate. The gate is set in mid-air, and only this staircase can enter.

The advantage of this design is that the enemy cannot attack the city gate with too many troops.

This is beneficial to the defense of Helm's Deep, and now that the half-orcs choose to attack here, it seems that the half-orcs who attacked this time are indeed not equipped with other siege equipment.

The other half-orcs on the city wall did not give up either. Although the attack was not very fierce, they were completely orderly and not in a hurry.

The king, Theoden, couldn't tell that the half-orcs were plotting, and Helm's Deep was defended by too few people.

As long as it is consumed to a certain extent, a loophole will appear, and then the orc will deliver a fatal blow.

Theoden has no way to resolve this kind of war of attrition.

It is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, and the gap in military strength and equipment cannot be offset by rich experience.

Moreover, the commander of the half-orcs on the opposite side also has this rich experience. When the gunpowder failed, he immediately gave up changing his strategy.

This is a very wise choice. From the effect point of view, the half-orcs now have the upper hand.

Bao Yiming roughly calculated that the current battle loss ratio is only [-]:[-], which is completely below the previous expectation of [-]:[-].

Obviously, this is a newly recruited soldier from Rohan, which lowered the battle loss ratio.

There is no way to do it. The soldiers recruited at zero hour, coupled with the old equipment, have such combat effectiveness now that they are not bad.

After all, everyone knows that as long as the orcs invade Helm's Deep, there will be no survivors left.

This is the situation where everyone is desperate. Unlike others, Bao Yiming is not worried. The current situation is much better than the Lord of the Rings plot.

In the Battle of Helm's Deep in The Lord of the Rings, all the soldiers died in the battle. In the end, King Theoden launched a death charge, hoping to die with glory.

It was only when reinforcements arrived at dawn that the battle was won.

According to the current battle loss ratio, it will be no problem to defend until tomorrow morning.

Theoden also saw the focus of the orcs' attack. Except for Bao Yiming, all the masters were mobilized to the gate of the city, preparing for a hand-to-hand battle.

Theoden is very familiar with the state of the gate of Helm's Deep. With the current state of the gate of Helm's Deep, it will be breached by half-orcs at most in half an hour. After that, it depends on the perseverance of the soldiers on both sides. Fight consumption.

This is the battlefield chosen by the orcs. Theoden can't change it. He can only gather the elite soldiers. When the ordinary soldiers collapse, they will come out to maintain the situation and give themselves the right time to mobilize their troops.

As for the most powerful Bao Yiming, Theoden did not just mobilize him. The appearance of explosives made Theoden feel lingering fear.

That kind of powerful explosion is enough to destroy the city wall of Helm's Deep, and the city wall is his biggest reliance on idleness, and it is a place that must not be lost.

Therefore, Bao Yiming's army must not be mobilized, otherwise, once the enemy seizes this flaw, the battle will be lost.

Bao Yiming watched Theoden mobilize his troops, and he also knew the reason why he did so. He was originally in the Guardian of the Rings team, as an observer, and whether he was a militant, seeing the enemy insisting on charging Go up and have a good time.

At the gate of the city, Aragorn has already led elite soldiers, and stabilized the situation twice when it collapsed.

However, Aragorn is very worried now. Judging from the two collapse times of ordinary soldiers, it is not difficult to find that the persistence time of ordinary soldiers is shortening.

This is not a good phenomenon, which shows that as the war time prolongs, the morale of soldiers is getting lower and lower.

No one can predict when the big crash will happen.

Fortunately, there are elite soldiers like elves, otherwise there is no hope for this war at all.

The occupancy was in such a stalemate. There was no way for Theoden to drive the half-orcs out of the city gate, and the half-orcs were very satisfied with the current battle situation. In two days at most, Helm's Deep would collapse.

However, the half-orc never expected that the nephew who was expelled by Theoden had already brought the Rohan hussars to the vicinity of Helm's Deep.

Be ready to charge at any time. The reason for not attacking is very simple. After a long journey, the horse needs to rest.

But now, although Helm's Deep is in a weak position, there is no defeat, so that the hussars can be given some time to recuperate.

Eomer came to Gandalf and explained to him the current situation in Helm's Deep.

''Do you still need to launch an attack according to the time you agreed? ''

Gandalf said before that he made an agreement with Aragorn that he would come with reinforcements when the sun rose on the fifth day.

But after he escaped from Saruman's magic tower on a giant eagle, when he found Eomer, he found that Eomer was already gathering cavalry from all over Rohan.

Apparently, Éomer had known about Theoden's need for rescue for a long time, and after asking, he found out that it was Delio, the dragon slayer, who had left behind when he met Éomer.

''No need, General, you can launch an attack whenever you think it is the most appropriate time to launch an attack. ''

Gandalf is just a mage, and he knows a little about who marches and fights, so he doesn't mess up his ideas.

After thinking for a while, Éomer gave Gandalf an answer: "We still follow the agreement and attack at dawn." ''

The greatest power of the cavalry is the charge, and the overwhelming deterrent force that the charge can give the enemy.

The dark night is obviously not the best battlefield for the cavalry. Although the cavalry here did not move, their arrival still played a huge role in the battle of Helm's Deep.

Legolas found out about the existence of this army and told Theoden the news.

Theoden learned that there were four or five thousand Rohan hussars on the side of the orcs, and they were ready to launch a surprise attack at the right time.

Theoden knew the importance of this news to the current Helm's Deep, and immediately ordered a messenger to tell the commanders of each team one by one.

The reason why they didn't use semaphore notifications was simple. They were afraid that the orcs would know the meaning of Rohan's semaphore and expose the cavalry.

Sure enough, under the stimulation of this good news, the morale of the soldiers in Helm's Deep has been improved.

Although there was no sign of defeat in the previous battle, everyone knew in their hearts that if the battle continued like this, the city would be destroyed sooner or later, and there was no hope of victory at all.

Although they are desperate, most people just want to die happily. Now the situation is different, and there is hope of victory.
