Chapter 15 The Fourth Way to Attack

Of these twenty-five giant catapults, fifteen were hastily made by Mordor's craftsmen in an afternoon. They had been kept hidden, along with the remaining catapults and the giant catapults exchanged by the contractors, making a total of twenty-five. Under the cover of night, they were quietly transported and assembled on the front line!

At this time, Minas Tirith was already stirred up by the Grond siege hammer and the nine Ringwraiths in the sky like a pot of boiling porridge, and for a while, no one noticed the movements here.

When the order was given, twenty-five giant catapults raised their arms and hurled burning fire oil bombs and rocks at the walls of Minas Tirith. Under such circumstances, the combined power of the twenty-five giant catapults could not be ignored. They were undoubtedly the main force of the third wave of attack!

"Then the fourth wave of attack..." Fang Senyan already understood. With his strategic vision, he wouldn't be unable to see through the think tank's cards. He looked at the figures gathering in the darkness and realized that the third and fourth waves of attacks should be complementary.

Yes, that was the only type of soldier that could pose a threat to the walls of Minas Tirith: Orc arsonists!

The thirty-meter attack range meant that they had to sneak under the city walls to launch an effective attack. The giant catapults were not cannons. After throwing five or six rounds, they needed to be checked and the ropes replaced. Otherwise, they would break down too quickly. This would create a ten to twenty-minute window of fire vacuum.

During this period, the Orc arsonists could quietly sneak under the city walls and continue to launch continuous fire attacks on the devastated first-tier city walls, spreading fire, poisonous smoke, and stench on the battlefield!

These four waves of attack were interlocked and complementary. Fang Senyan could even see that the seemingly most powerful wave of attack, the Grond siege hammer, was actually a feint. The real killer move was the section of the city wall that the Blue Light team had obtained intelligence about.

Why was the Grond siege hammer a feint? Because it had already appeared in the movie and left a deep impression. For Jazz and the others, who had investigated the terrain and geological conditions near Minas Tirith in such detail, it was impossible not to have a backup plan to deal with this move.

"Do you think there are any loopholes in my plan?" Fang Senyan, who was half-lying on the bed with his eyes closed, suddenly asked.

At this time, the only one accompanying him was Old Charlie, the cold old butler. He usually followed Fang Senyan like a shadow, without any sense of existence, but he could truly play a role when Fang Senyan needed him to.

After hearing Fang Senyan's question, Old Charlie was silent for a while and said:

"There are almost none, but the risk is really too great!"

Fang Senyan said only five words lightly:

"High risk, high reward."

At this time, the battle on and off the city was in full swing. Fang Senyan stayed alone in his tent, repeatedly considering his plan until he was sure that there were no major loopholes, then he fell on the simple bed and fell asleep.

This wasn't because Fang Senyan was lazy, but because if things really developed as he expected, then if he didn't recharge his batteries and rest well now, he might not be able to sleep later.

Accumulating one more point of energy now would give him one more point of winning later.

The intensity of the battle that night far exceeded Fang Senyan's expectations. Except for him, everyone else in the team participated in the war!

After relying on the Grond giant siege hammer to advance to the bottom of the city gate, the defenders of Minas Tirith naturally couldn't sit idly by and directly hoarded heavy troops on the city wall at that section, frantically pouring stones and feather arrows down, almost spitting and killing several people.

In this case, Zi's Force attack, Ardaruis's Mind Storm, and Kulu's incredibly powerful stone throwing attack could directly attack the enemy. Reef was responsible for taking care of their safety.

Ronnie, whose strength had greatly increased, rushed forward. For him, who had become a Hammerer, the first city wall of Minas Tirith, which was nearly twenty meters high, was no longer a major obstacle for him. During a charge, he could easily climb up by inserting a short knife into the city wall as support.

The contractors of the Alliance were generally one level lower than the contractors of Sauron, but they had an absolute advantage in number, so once Ronnie climbed the city wall, he would not engage in a protracted battle, but immediately use a Grand Shapeshift to create a Shadow Clone!

Wherever each of his clones passed, there would be a clear and shrill light! Eleven snow-bright lights pierced through everything in different directions! If you looked down from the sky, you would find that the scene was like a strange giant flower! And where the giant flower bloomed, coupled with the forced suppression of the passive ability of the bloody weapon in his hand, there was wailing everywhere, cleaved in two, and blood flowed into rivers!

The Ace team relied on its strong individual strength, and the contribution points it earned were also rapidly increasing. Most importantly, because Reef did not need to rush into the front line of the battlefield, but was only responsible for blocking ranged attacks and using God's Hand in emergencies, he was relatively the most relaxed. It was precisely because Fang Senyan considered that he had no use for his heroism on such a battlefield that he stayed in the camp to recharge his batteries.

Although the white and beautiful city had been smoked into a dirty face, although blood flowed into rivers near the city gate, and the corpses were piled up several meters high, almost reaching half of the city wall, although the fire on the first city wall had not been extinguished, and although everywhere were ordinary people who were tormented by the terrifying screams of the Ringwraiths...

However, until the dawn came, Minas Tirith... was still not breached!

Both sides fought extremely fiercely in this siege and defense battle. Although the Ace team did not lose any members, it was based on the incredibly strong team ability bonus, as well as Reef's precise rescue ability with God's Hand. More than one-third of the other contractors on both sides were killed or injured.

As for the famous plot characters, it was also difficult to escape the doom of death. In the sneer of death, strong men and heroes also withered in turn, whether it was Sauron's side or the high-end combat power in Minas Tirith City.

Sauron's side first had the Grond siege hammer destroyed. This fierce weapon, known as indestructible, was first attacked by a blizzard magic jointly cast by a group of mages, and then covered by the range magic Meteor Shower. The other side cleverly used the principle of thermal expansion and contraction to destroy this legendary siege weapon!

Even more amazing was that Jazz also had a targeted arrangement for the Ringwraiths. With the help of Gandalf, two extremely powerful Ringwraiths fell!

Then, of the twenty-five giant catapults that attacked the city, only two were still operating normally. Most of the others were completely damaged because they exceeded their usage intensity. Only a few were destroyed, but the consequences were the same, they could not be used. Most importantly, this also meant that Sauron's side had exhausted its reserves of war-making materials, and it would be difficult to restore the old appearance without a few days of accumulation, but now, what Sauron's side lacked was time!

The only Orc arsonists who could barely attack the city wall were also killed, and it was almost impossible for them to appear in organized formations again.

The four killing moves were all frustrated! And it was the kind of heavy setback that hit a stone wall and broke their heads!

Of course, there are gains and losses in everything. Sauron's side suffered such heavy losses, could the price paid by the Alliance be small?

Gandalf was seriously injured. Although he was conscious, he could not fight for three days. In the case where Denethor II, the steward of Minas Tirith, had fallen into madness, Gandalf could only become a spiritual leader.

The Royal Guard, Beregond, died in battle. Perhaps this guy was not very famous, but the people who participated in attacking him after his death each received an average of 1,300 contribution points and a Sauron badge x1, which shows his identity. After his death, the morale of the defenders immediately weakened by 30%.

In addition, a small team won the lottery. The stone thrown by a giant catapult they bought after selling everything hit a member of the Fellowship of the Ring, Paladin's son Pippin... The Hobbit died on the spot, and it was estimated that it would be difficult to leave a complete body. No one knew their specific income, but they were recognized as the people closest to legendary equipment.

In addition, driving away the Ringwraiths and the Plesiosaurs and killing them were two completely different things. Therefore, in the extremely unfavorable situation of night combat, a total of thirteen of the twenty-three giant eagles that were exchanged died, seven were seriously injured, and the remaining giant eagles began to refuse to execute any orders.

Because the humans asked them to fight in the extremely unfavorable darkness, which led to such a terrifying chance of casualties. In other words, facing the remaining seven Ringwraiths, the city had lost effective means of restraint. However, for the Ringwraiths, the annihilation of two companions should also make the arrogant them much more vigilant and no longer reckless.

With the dawn, the Orc offensive retreated like a tide, leaving behind corpses everywhere, wisps of smoke, and even crows that were so hungry that they flew to the battlefield to peck at the carrion. For a time, there was a strange static situation. Both sides were like severely injured beasts, hating each other while roaring in a low voice, licking their wounds.
