With reinforcements arriving one after another after landing, the number of coalition forces gathered outside the city of Mordor is now close to 30,000. In addition, there are an equal number of civilians providing logistical support for the army.
The cost of eating tens of thousands of soldiers is huge. Although there are elven tycoons to share the cost of military posture, it is not impossible in the long run, but Aragorn is too embarrassed to owe the elves anymore, so after all the siege equipment is in place, for the demons
Many attacks begin!
At that time, the ancestors of Elrond and Aragorn fought extremely hard to attack Mordor. The city walls of Mordor were not only as high as the mountains, but had also been reinforced over the years. It was wishful thinking for ordinary siege engines to break through the defenses, so the army could only
The siege lasted for seven years before Sauron was allowed to leave. Even then, victory was achieved at a heavy price.
But now, the coalition forces are also helpless against the gates and walls of Mordor. Dozens of trebuchets have taken turns to attack, and they have been throwing stones for a whole day, but they still have not left any trace on the walls of Mordor.
Chen Mo couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to help, but was stopped by Gandalf.
"You have done a lot, and it is time for them to win a victory of their own!"
So Chen Mo could only watch Gondor's siege troops busy at work. Seeing that there was no progress, he still found a way to contribute his own strength.
Chen Mo injected holy light energy into all the stone bullets fired by the trebuchet. Once they encountered the dark power, a strong explosion reaction would occur. With the blessing of the holy light bullets, the trebuchet troops finally made a breakthrough, and the city wall was continuously blasted to create some narrow spaces.
of the gap.
It's just that Chen Mo underestimated Sauron's methods. As his lair, Sauron's giant eyes just scanned the gaps and saw the black mist rippling. In an instant, the damage caused was repaired.
"This guy!"
Chen Mo was so angry that he started to compete with Sauron. He overloaded the Holy Light and provided ammunition every day. Every day, everyone watched the walls of Mordor continue to burn, and countless unlucky Orcs were killed and maimed, but the city walls remained the same.
Stand there!
However, Sauron was indeed tired of the constant repair work. In the end, he simply left the maintenance of the city wall to Orcs and concentrated on making the final preparations before resurrection.
After two weeks of bombing like this, Gondor had to stop the offensive, not because they ran out of stone bombs or because Chen Mo lacked mana, but because the trebuchet could no longer withstand it!
These big guys made of wood and iron sheets are powerful, but they are also very fragile. After high-intensity use, they need to be maintained carefully, so Gondor's offensive can only be suspended.
Everyone's daily job is to watch the elves sniper at the city wall, and then bet that the arrow will land on the head of the unlucky guy on the wall.
After waiting like this for a week, the Rohan dwarves and the northern coalition forces from Riverdale City finally arrived at the gates of Mordor.
Although these dusty reinforcements look like beggars, the look of solemnity in their eyes and the blood-stained weapons in their hands all indicate their achievements.
Chen Mo once again saw Thorin Oakenshield, King of the Lonely Mountain, not much changed from sixty years ago, but more mature!
"I have brought 10,000 iron-footed troops and 300 craftsmen! There are also 600 carts of gold on the way. The wealth owned by Gushan is enough to cope with the consumption of this war!"
The King of the Lonely Mountain, who got rid of the dragon disease, indeed showed his due courage!
"It seems you can set up an economic mutual aid organization after the war!"
Chen Mo looked at the leaders in the room and felt that he was full of achievements. Although there were conflicts and frictions among the three tribes, it felt great to work hand in hand in the face of a common enemy!
After the arrival of the dwarves, they also greatly strengthened the heavy firepower of the coalition forces, because in addition to trebuchets, the dwarves also had big weapons such as ballistae and siege towers. This is what Thorin brought with him to do this!
However, the three tribes worked together and still stopped in front of the walls of Mordor.
"Is there no other way?"
Théoden burst into flames as he looked at the towering city walls. The hussars he led were good at guerrilla attacks, but they knew nothing about sieges. The Gondor dwarves and elves could at least fire arrows every day, and the soldiers in Riverdale City even had heavy-duty guerrillas.
The wind crossbow is just a Rohan man wandering around with an axe.
"Unless Serent takes action!"
"No, no!"
Gandalf sternly rejected their idea.
"There are more important things in Serent, we must do it to destroy the city!"
"But the trebuchet is not powerful enough!"
"power?"
Théoden rolled his eyes and suddenly thought of something!
"Will Saruman's invention of explosive gunpowder work?"
"Saruman!"
Gandalf's eyes also lit up. It seemed that his big brother had made some good contributions to everyone before he was laid off!
"Okay, I immediately ordered them to pile gunpowder under the city wall!"
Just when Théoden was about to give the order, he was stopped by Chen Mo again.
"Do you just want to use gunpowder to blow it up?"
"Then what good ideas do you have?"
Chen Mo pointed at the dwarf.
"There are ready-made craftsmen, why not start thinking and use the power of science?"
Théoden was a little confused, but fortunately Aragorn understood what Chen Mo meant and immediately clasped his fists in cooperation.
"Please ask the military advisor for advice!"
Then Chen Mo nodded with satisfaction.
"Let Thorin's craftsmen work overtime, and I will teach you how to make the Urban cannon!"
In the year 1453 on earth, something happened that made countless Romans cry. Constantinople, which represented the last glory of Rome, was captured. Since then, there has been no more Rome in the world!
In order to deal with this strong fortress, the Ottomans who attacked the city used all possible means. They not only sailed on dry land, but also built huge caliber stone cannons, also known as Urban cannons, to blow open the walls of the castle.
gap.
Mordor is even stronger than King's Castle, so Chen Mo doesn't mind imitating the Ottomans. As for whether this counts as his intervention, how can it count? The mines are dug by dwarves, and the iron is forged by elves.
, Gunpowder was invented by Saruman, so the Chinese-Turkish coalition used the Urban cannon. What does it have to do with Chen Mo?
"Gandalf, this can be considered a collective effort!"
Chen Mo's explanation made Gandalf reluctantly accept it. If it weren't for him, he wouldn't be able to take action. White Robe insists on showing everyone what it means to be so powerful and powerful! See if he can kick open the giant wall of Mordor with one punch and that's it.
Got it!
"But, Serente, why is this weapon called the Urban Cannon? Who is Urban?"
"Well, I just picked it up casually, but it is indeed wrong to call him Urban in Middle-earth!"
Chen Mo nodded. There were no Romans in this place, so it was really inappropriate to call him Urban!
"Then let's call him Saruman Cannon. After all, the white robes can be considered our brothers!"
I found that the books on the ranking list, one after another, can also arouse the readers' emotions. Woohoo, I'm a waste.
