    "Attack! Attack! Tear those humans into pieces!" At the foot of the city wall of Baicheng, an elite orc was commanding the orcs to erect a tall siege ladder. In the process, these orcs were hit by a layer of the city wall.  Focus on taking care of the human defenders.  Fist-sized stones were thrown down from the city wall by soldiers on the first floor. The orcs who raised their heads and looked up were beaten to death by the gifts falling from the sky, but more orcs successfully attacked.  The city ladder was built on the first floor of the city wall, but the orcs soon discovered that tall city walls required more time and energy for them to climb slowly.  "The first level of the city wall needs support. Okov, let your people prepare." Hu Bin saw that sporadic orcs had already boarded the top of the first level of the city and started a confrontation with the defenders there. He knew that sooner or later there would be  He fell in front of the orcs' offensive, but not now. Hu Bin needed a city wall to delay the orcs for more time.  "Prepare to launch, target below the city wall, shoot!" Following Hu Bin's order, the rangers fired a slightly sparse arrow rain, but the support from the rear shocked the defenders on the first floor of the city.  .  Seeing that the arrow rain landed very accurately, Hu Bin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, because such a high-angle throw is very dangerous. If the archer is not very skilled, it is easy to accidentally injure his own people.  "Elite Ithilien Ranger (ordinary): A member of the elite reconnaissance force of the Kingdom of Gondor. He has been in the mountains and forests near the national border all year round. He is very good at ambush and reconnaissance. HP: 80. Energy: 10. Protection: Stealth  Cloak, insect-proof leather armor Weapons: Gondor standard short blade, hunting short bow Ordinary level swordsmanship, advanced level archery Main skills: Poison preparation: The ranger knows how to prepare some poisons, and can prepare one bottle of poison per day.  Twenty poison arrows. Preparing poison requires a certain amount of resources. Poison arrows: Extract poison on the arrows, causing additional poison damage and paralysis slowdown to the enemy. Preparation of poison requires the consumption of combat power in mountainous and forest environments.  Increased by 100%, food consumption reduced by 30%. Detection expert: Stealth level increased by 50%, and there is a certain chance of seeing through the enemy's disguise. Promotion route: Self-propelled.  Exploration" Advanced level archery, this is where Hu Bin has great trust in these rangers. As the top class of Gondor archers, their archery skills are already comparable to those of elven archers. The rangers who are good at using poison by any means  Obviously more dangerous.  "Be careful!" The defenders on the wall supported by Hu Bin had just gotten some breathing space.  But then the rocks hit them hard, and a huge gap was opened in the city head by the powerful blow, and the nearby soldiers suffered heavy casualties.  The trebuchets behind the orcs were finally adjusted, and their accuracy began to improve. They focused their targets on the first section of the city wall, and the siege towers that posed a greater threat to the defenders on the city wall also  Slowly approaching Baicheng.  This forced Baicheng's trebuchets to focus on them.  After Hu Bin shot an arrow, he quickly reached for the arrow pot on his back. Unfortunately, he fumbled twice and found that the arrow pot had been emptied by himself.  Feeling the soreness in his shoulders gradually sweeping over him, Hu Bin put down the Elf Bow with some regret and took a short rest.  In less than ten minutes, he had already fired several pots of arrows. Although others could not shoot as fast as him.  But the consumption of arrows is still shocking.  The bottom of the city wall has been covered with Orc corpses, but the number of Orcs has not decreased. The defenders on the first floor have called for support several times, and all the few reserves have been sent up, but this time  Still unable to stop the enemy's continuous attacks.  The addition of the siege tower put tremendous pressure on the defenders at the top of the city. The moment the gates were lowered, under the leadership of several elite orcs, the orc squadron on the tower immediately broke up the shield wall composed of defending humans.  , and then completed the suppression of that section of the city wall amidst screams.  But the good times for the orcs did not last long, as their offensive was blocked by the archers on the upper city wall.  After landing at the top of the city, they were nakedly exposed to the eyes of Hu Bin's numberers, and the suddenly accelerated shooting speed also showed that the other numberers did not miss this opportunity.  "Boom!" A roar came from the main entrance of Baicheng. The siege hammer brought by the orcs came to the front of the huge main entrance of Baicheng, trying to blast open the gate.  The city gate shook violently, but nothing but dust fell to the ground.  Nothing happens if halfWhen the orcs can see the situation behind the city gate, I believe they will not attack here so hard.  Of course, the Baicheng side who fought the last battle knew the importance of the city gate. They simply blocked it completely with sandbags and stones, sealed it with wooden boards at the back, and then blocked it with tree trunks.  Even if the solid city gate is penetrated, the orcs will be troubled to find that there is still a pile of debris behind it waiting for them to clean up.  A vat of hot asphalt was poured down by the soldiers, and screams immediately rang out from under the city wall. Then a rocket ignited the asphalt, and the hot tongues of fire devoured the struggling enemies. Such a tragedy told half of the people.  Orcs, standing under the city gate and hitting the city gate is really not a good job.  After the orcs holding the siege ram were wiped out several times, the orc commander received news from the front that the main gate of Baicheng was really difficult to break, and the siege troops had already suffered heavy casualties.  "Send Doragon up!" the Orc commander roared angrily, and then there was a sound of whips hitting flesh. Eight strong trolls, spurred by the Orc soldiers, pulled a huge war machine.  Slowly approached the main entrance of Baicheng.  "Doragon! Doragon!" After the nearby orc soldiers saw the machine, they shouted slogans enthusiastically, as if the machine gave them a lot of courage.  "Reed, over there!" Tower Shield suddenly shouted not far away, and Hu Bin gave up on the enemy he had just targeted and turned his head towards the city gate.  Then I saw an amazing scene.  Baicheng's trebuchets had long noticed the big guy on the battlefield. A precise stone bullet hit the machine. But what everyone didn't expect was that the impact of the stone bullet only wiped off the machine's cover.  Curtain, but the machine was not damaged at all.  Instead, it revealed its true face.  A shelf made of pure steel stands high on a solid chassis. A thick iron pestle is hung on the shelf by countless chains. The front end of the iron pestle is made into the shape of a dragon's head, and the dragon's mouth jumps out.  It was moving with fierce flames, and it was staring at the gate of Baicheng.  Except for leaving a few scratches on the steel frame, the successive stone bullets still had no real impact on "Doragon".  On the contrary, the morale of the orcs increased. They followed "Doragon" one after another, shouting neat slogans and moving forward.  "Attack the trolls pulling the cart!" Hu Bin shouted hurriedly when he saw the giant siege vehicle entering his range, and the soldiers who were a little helpless also reacted and began to focus their fire to attack the trolls.  However, the orcs had the foresight to put heavy iron armor on the trolls pulling the cart.  As a result, they still did not receive much damage in the rain of arrows, but the trebuchet, which was reminded, suddenly became powerful. One shot just missed the first floor of the city wall and fell towards the troll pulling the cart, almost injuring one of his own people.  .  This kind of adventure also yielded great results. The two trolls were hit by stones and fell to the ground unable to struggle anymore. However, the orc engineers who expected this situation immediately untied the two trolls.  The shackles and chains on the two trolls.  Although "Doragon" slowed down a bit, it still moved forward firmly towards the city gate.  Finally, under the expectant eyes of many orcs, "Doragon" slowly pressed against the city gate, and the human soldiers guarding the city gate poured a can of asphalt in time, and then added "Doragon"  Wearing a ferocious flame coat.  The guards on the tower still wanted to do something, but a flying stone bullet smashed the entire tower into ruins, and with the sound of gravel hitting the steel frame, the sledgehammer of "Doragon"  He was slowly lifted up with chains by the orcs, and finally fell down hard amid cheers.  The huge impact sound rippled through the entire city wall.  The nearby human soldiers were knocked to the ground by the loud noise, and the shaking caused by the battering ram even made the siege ladder next to it shake, causing the orc soldiers above to scream and fall down.  One blow, just one blow, left an obvious depression on the city gate.  The door bolts behind the door groaned fiercely, and even the stones and sandbags piled behind the door collapsed.  The Prince Regent stood on the sixth floor of the city and looked from a distance, and found that the orcs had begun to pull the huge siege ram again, but the defenders on the city wall were unable to do anything about it.  "Order the soldiers there to retreat. The main entrance has been lost!" The regent's voice was a little impatient. The first layer of defense for which he had great expectations was breached by the orcs in less than an hour, and Luo  However, there has been no news of John's reinforcements.  "Your Majesty! The city on the south side of the first floor has been infiltrated by orcs. We have just sealed the city gate to the second floor!" An old man who looked like a senior general said helplessly.    After hearing the news, the regent pursed his lips tightly. He understood that the 1,500 soldiers on the first line of defense had no way out, and they had no choice but to fight to the death.  "Tell this news to the person in charge at the front line. I want them to know the current situation." The regent said after being silent for a while, and the messenger glanced at the general who had spoken before and hurriedly retreated.  "General, the regent's order!" The guard handed a note to a general on the wall on the first floor, and the general inserted the blood-stained sword back into his waist, took the note, and unfolded it.  He read it quickly and then looked in the direction of the second-floor city gate.  After a while, the general withdrew his gaze and clenched the note in his hand.  "Everyone, follow me!" "Doragon! Doragon! Roar~!" Along with the cheers of the orcs, the city gate that had been bombarded was finally breached, and the already twisted gate  The shaft could no longer bear the force and broke. The two door panels fell to the ground, killing several unlucky orc soldiers.  "Charge" A half-orc elite was about to shout the command to charge, but the scene in the doorway made him choke back the rest of his words.  "What are you waiting for? Come up and move these stones away. Quick!" The orc elite reacted and became furious. They punched and kicked the soldiers to clear the city gate.  "Also, call those mercenaries over and tell them that the city gate has been breached and it's time for them to help." "Line up! Line up!" A Gondor guard captain shouted in a slightly panicked tone.  Groups of soldiers followed his order and formed a square formation at the city gate.  A muffled sound came from the city gate hole, and the orcs brought over the battering ram that had been abandoned before, and bombarded the obstacles made of stones and sandbags.  "General!" The captain returned to the previous general to report, but the general didn't seem to hear him and looked ahead without any reaction.  "General, we can no longer defend this place. Please give us the order!" the captain said again anxiously.  The general came back to his senses and saw his soldiers looking at him. The panic and fear in their eyes made him shake for a while, but after a while, the general strengthened his belief.  "I have no more orders to give you!" Another muffled sound came, and a large amount of accumulated sand began to slide from the cracks of the broken boards, and the ugly and ferocious faces of the orcs could even be seen through the cracks.  The soldiers looked at the doorway uneasily.  He suppressed his shaking legs and involuntarily clenched the weapon in his hand.  "All I can do is to fight and die here with you!" The general drew out his sword and raised it in front of his chest.  "Stick to your posts, trust your companions, and then destroy any enemies that rush in." All the obstructions at the main entrance were opened by a huge figure, and a fully armed troll rushed in with a roar, and  Following it were several other trolls and a flood of orc soldiers.  "For Gondor!" The human soldiers seemed to drive all the fear out of their hearts with this roar.  Then he launched a charge against the enemy without hesitation.  The rampaging trolls led a large group of orcs to advance quickly, and the meteor hammers in their hands kept swinging to destroy the obstacles along the way. The Gondor defenders who tried to resist in Europe were knocked down by it together with the obstacles.  And the blood soon filled the square on the first floor. Hu Bin watched the group of soldiers being quickly annihilated by the surging tide of orcs, and weakly shot the arrows in his hands. The square on the first floor had been completely lost, and his side had lost nearly 100,000 soldiers.  One-third of the manpower, and if the layer of corpses outside the city were not still there to remind Hu Bin, he would even have the illusion that the number of orcs had never decreased.  "Reed, Hebrews are already preparing to move. Are we going with them?" Tower Shield asked with some emotion, while Hebrews was looking here not far away from Tower Shield.  Hu Bin took another look at the trolls raging below, and then shot an arrow at them.  He understood that as the orcs poured into the city, it would be difficult for the numbered troops who lacked a shooting angle to do anything here if they forced their heads to shoot.  It's easy to be targeted by Orc crossbowmen.  The second city wall where Hu Bin and the others were located was only built to support the first city wall and was not suitable for defense, so there was nothing wrong with the plan of Hebrews and others to move to the third floor.  But "You are sure to just let those guys in!" Hu Bin pointed at the group of enemies under the city and shouted to Hebrews.  ¡°This place is no longer suitable¡­, Damn it, everyone, go back to your positions and shoot at the enemies in that direction, no matter the cost!  "Hebrew subconsciously glanced at the bottom of the city wall, and called the people back angrily. A group of humans in mixed clothes and armor were mixed in the torrent of orcs. Although they were not very eye-catching, Hebrew recognized them at a glance.  Apart from them, who else could this group of people be except the numberers of the hostile camp? Hebrew knew the consequences of letting these people go. One of them could cause more damage than a dozen orc soldiers.  If the numberers in the Duo camp don¡¯t want the third-story city gate to fall soon, they must snipe the enemy¡¯s numberers here and delay as long as they can. ¡°You guys do your best, I¡¯m leaving first!  "Hu Bin then with a depressed expression on Hebrew's face, took Tower Shield, Lin and their soldiers to exit the city wall. And the positions they vacated were then occupied by the almost crazy Gondor numberers.  They occupied it, and for them, the temptation to kill a hostile camp numberer was very great. "We just left. Why don't we snipe the enemy numberers with the Hebrews?"  "On the way to the third floor, Tower Shield finally couldn't help but ask. "How can it be so cheap? If we don't hurry up, when the door to the second floor is blasted open by the group of trolls, maybe the third floor  The soldiers will close the gate. At that time, it will be difficult to retreat, and all the troops may be involved.  "Hu Bin said with a deep expression. "Then why don't you remind Hebrew?  "This time it was actually Lin who was speaking. Since even Lord Lin of Ten Thousand Years Ice Cube had spoken, Hu Bin quickly answered: "Do you think the Hebrews don't know, but their mission is to ensure that Gondor does not  It will fall, and someone must come out to contain the group of numberers. They have to stay there, even if they lose all their troops.  As for what the other numberers think, I have no control over it. I hope they won't be blinded by the immediate benefits.  Killing the numbered person on the opposite side can only gain some meager benefits. Our fundamental goal is to complete the main mission as much as possible while preserving our strength.  " Hu Bin's words made Ta Dun and Lin sober up a lot. In fact, it's no wonder they didn't think of it. It's just that they don't have too many troops in their hands, and they don't have the wealth of Hu Bin who can almost ignore the kill.  The numberer¡¯s reward, that¡¯s why I didn¡¯t think of this. ¡°Why haven¡¯t Rohan¡¯s reinforcements arrived yet?  They should arrive here in the morning.  "Hu Bin is not worried that Baicheng will fall in a short time. After all, the numberers have set up many traps here that can delay time, and Gondor still retains a large amount of elite power that has not been used. Just relying on the words of the orcs, it will take a while.  It will not be enough to completely capture this place, but the most worrying thing is the Rohan reinforcements. They are the indispensable main output force in this battle, responsible for reducing the number of orcs and containing the war elephants.  The legion's mission, if they arrive in time, this battle will still have to be fought. As for Aragorn's ghost legion, after all, the plot has been changed too much by the numberers, and Hu Bin is really not optimistic about whether the numberers can do it.  Bring them back.
