Volume 12 [Creation! Terminator's Sorrow!] Chapter 20 Natural Disaster Plan
Over two meters tall, with gnarled muscles, shiny rough skin, blood running like dragons and snakes on the surface of the body, thick black mane fluttering in the wind, and of course the sour smell that is indescribable to humans, plus a pale pig head that seems to be full of swollen tumors, this is the commander of the orcs, Gosmo!
He raised the axe in his hand high, and suddenly, the surface of the axe was filled with an extremely strong red light, and then the light flashed, and the red light exploded, like a shock wave, rushing towards the people around, covering at least four or five square kilometers of orcs.
The orcs covered by the red shock wave roared from the depths of their throats at the same time! Then he raised the weapon in his hand high, and the greed and heat in his eyes were so red that they seemed to drip blood!
This super-class bloodthirsty spell of Gothmo, whether in terms of coverage or stimulation intensity, is definitely not inferior to the white-robed wizard like Gandalf, and it also reflects from another aspect why he can sit firmly as the commander of the orcs.
The next second, the giant axe in Gothmo's hand chopped down fiercely with a violent wind sound, and the back of the giant axe hit the hard chestnut wood pin below, and the thing flew out at once, and then four black lacquered ropes as thick as children's arms suddenly "snapped" in the air with a harsh sound, and then ejected!
These ropes are made of leather, hair, giant beast tendons and refined underground biological oils. After being tightened, they can provide great kinetic energy acceleration to the lever arm, and then rotate in a circle with a long diameter, and throw the huge stones loaded inside out at once!
As if receiving a signal, the 114 catapults surrounding the entire Minas Tirith also threw huge stones one after another! For a moment, the sky seemed to be overcast, as if a large cloud of stones was formed and fell one after another!
Minas Tirith had not experienced the baptism of war for nearly a hundred years, so the traces of peace in the city built on the mountain were very obvious. The most typical proof was the carved railing buildings built on the mountain, which were as exquisite as gardens.
These buildings are full of the mood of the Gondor people. Under the sunshine, each building produces rich light and shadow effects and virtual and real changes. Compared with other closed buildings, the sunshine eliminates the dull feeling of the closed wall. The decorative techniques such as round sculptures, high reliefs, and bas-reliefs have created a unique decorative art-
Their only shortcoming is that they are very impatient, just like the prostitutes who have just entered the industry.
The first round of bombardment by the orcs' trebuchets threw out at least 87 tons of stones. These stones rotated and rolled at an initial speed of 500 meters/second, which was higher than the thunder, and hit the walls of Minas Tirith heavily.
Those carved buildings suddenly collapsed as if they were shedding their skin. The careful carvings of thousands of skilled craftsmen for several years or even more than ten years were gone, revealing the ugly and solid wartime walls, arrow holes, and hidden paths inside Minas Tirith...
The gorgeous Minas Tirith finally put on the ugly melee armor...
Amid the shrill and long horn sound, nearly forty tall giant building cars appeared at the same time. The height of each building car even exceeded that of the giant catapult, and they slowly advanced towards the city wall.
The main frame of the building car was made of iron birch grown in the extremely cold climate of the North. The innermost layer was animal skin, clay, and branches. Then the orc priests exhausted their magic power to cast the most basic spell of turning soil into rock on it, and then continued to cover it with animal skin and clay, and continued to cast spells. Therefore, this kind of building car looked not like a man-made object from a distance, but directly a series of indestructible rocks slowly approaching!
Of course, to push this thing, you must use the amazingly powerful ogres. Although these guys with light gray loose skin are covered in armor, they have amazing power in their fat and huge bodies!
The height of the giant building car is just the same as the wall of Minas Tirith. It is loaded with the most elite strong orc warriors. Once they jump on the wall, normal humans can hardly resist. It is a massacre, a naked massacre.
This is the war of the orcs, simple, neat, and full of barbaric style.
In fact, it is also true. In the face of the huge advantage of strength, no tactics is the best tactic, and the flat push flow is the best choice!
No contractor will join the first wave of the team.
It is very glorious to be the first warrior, but the casualty rate will be at least 70%.
At this time, the war has entered the current state, and the only thing the contractors belonging to Noah C space can do is wait.
In fact, after all the connections in the past were wiped out, there were very few contractors who could answer in front of Gothmer. Among them, there was a guy who relied on his status as a disciple of Saruman, and Fang Senyan was also one of them.
The horror of Legend Level 3 was something that even the Ringwraiths and the powerful Orc commanders could not resist.
But being able to talk did not mean that you could influence Gothmer. Just like now, the strange calmness of the contractors in Minas Tirith made people know that there was a trap, but they could not know where the trap was!
Fang Senyan's mind was also spinning rapidly:
"What is the core of this siege battle? It is the siege equipment. Yes, without these equipment, no matter how sharp the orcs' axes are, they will not be able to hurt the opponent across the astonishingly thick city wall. The opponent will not be able to hurt the opponent. Maybe they can’t see this! So, what methods will they use to deal with these siege equipment? These things also have health points and defenses, and they are definitely not paper fakes!
"Brother Yan! Brother Yan!" Sanzai suddenly came to him and whispered: "Kurutguo said that he sensed that there was a large amount of abnormal earth element power gathering in the city opposite!"
Sheyan suddenly took a deep breath:
"Could it be...?!"
Meanwhile, in the city of Minas Tirith,
Almost all the contractor leaders gathered in the dungeon in the city.
Their expressions were a little nervous, but also a little expectant.
In front of their eyes, the battle situation was being played out in a timely manner.
"Get closer, get closer! That's almost it. According to our previous deductions and calculations, if we launch it after seventeen seconds, the enemy will suffer the greatest losses!"
A man who looked very polite said calmly, but his trembling hands betrayed his mood completely.
Jazz was also present at this time, and was still in the position of giving orders to the group of people. He turned his head and looked at another woman wearing a khaki mage robe:
"Onyxia, how are you preparing?"
"Three large magic arrays have been set up, and unexpected good news has happened. Gandalf came over to give instructions and changed the patterns of the magic arrays, so that our output can be extended by 23 times longer than expected."
Jazz picked up the goblet and took a sip of the wine. He gently wiped his right hand in the air, and immediately saw a clear image appearing on the wiped area. What was displayed on the image turned out to be a vertical cross-section of the terrain of Minas Tirith projected by an electronic computer! What contour lines and density line data are vivid in my mind!
"The power of science is really great." Jazz said softly.
When they learned that the decisive battle was taking place in the city of Minas Tirith, Jazz immediately took advantage of the large team and began to discuss various ways to defend the city. One of them made a request, hoping to obtain Minas Tirith. A comprehensive analysis of all the information in Sicheng.
The purpose of this guy's attack was actually to induce the water of the Anduin River to attack the terrifying enemy below the city, and his intention initially received great support.
Then, the entire Stockholm team used the powerful connections and power in the real world, combined with the data provided in The Lord of the Rings, and used super-large computers to precisely restore the deep terrain map near Minas Tirith City.
After research and discussion, it was shown that water attack was somewhat unrealistic, but a contractor who had studied geology proposed it:
If you want to attack the city of Minas Tirith, the battlefield will be at the junction of the Pallenor Plains and the Mindoluan Mountains.
The formation of mountains is often the result of the compression of two major plates. The stress points have nowhere to release and cannot go down, so they can only rise. From this point of view, the basic conditions for inducing natural disasters are met.
Then it was discovered in computer simulations that the deep structural deformation here is also characterized by thrusting and dextral shear. After repeated confirmations, it was believed that a possible earthquake would be created under Minas Tirith. The feasibility of controlling earthquakes is very high, because although the address conditions here are stable, they are actually only built on a few key points. If these points only need to be destroyed in sequence, the probability of success is quite high. high.
This is very complicated to say, but the principle is also very simple. It's like there is a vase on a table. If you want the vase to fall towards you, just quickly cut off the two table legs close to you. If you want the vase to fall to the opposite side, just quickly cut off the two table legs away from you.
The ever-changing world is nothing more than an extension of these simple laws.
In addition, the city of Minas Tirith was built on the Mindoluan Mountain, known as the White Mountain. The rocks on this mountain are famous for their hardness, so the chance of causing a landslide to be self-defeating is not non-existent, but very small.
After thousands of simulations, they came up with the best solution, which was to combine gunpowder with magic. First, they could try to detonate a large amount of explosives in a certain area, and then activate the magic to induce a In a small earthquake, the energy released by the earthquake will be released along the broken area caused by the previous explosive explosion! ! !
The advantage of this is that it can combine the power of explosives and magic in a balanced way, and it can greatly reduce the need for earth magicians, and at the same time reduce the noise they make when they join forces to cast spells by more than half, avoiding The probability of being detected by the opponent in advance.
Suddenly, the knight raised the crystal goblet, pointed it at the outside of the city from a distance in the dark and damp dungeon, saluted, and said with a smile:
"Good luck, gentlemen."
After he made this move, the "natural disaster" plan was fully launched! ! !
On the bloody battlefield, when the extremely powerful catapult is already in full swing and pouring stones crazily, when the huge carriage is only dozens of meters away from the city wall! !
To the west of the vast Paliano Plain, a full three or four kilometers away from the battlefield, a dull loud noise suddenly came from the underground, and then seven or eight air holes appeared near the area where the loud noise came from. A dim yellow sand smoke column fifty or sixty meters high shot out towards the sky!
Then the terrifying sound continued to come from the underground. The sound was indescribable, but everyone on the battlefield felt unsteady. Then they saw a crack appearing where the explosion originally occurred, and they quickly responded Target the center of the battlefield and extend over! ! !
The width of the crack was only less than half a meter at first, but it quickly lengthened and widened as the earth shook, and finally expanded to a width of dozens of meters! ! With a slow, majestic, and even more irresistible force, it quickly extended in an arc, crossing the plain below the city of Minas Tirith. On the battlefield, the morale of the orc army fell instantly in the face of this terrifying natural disaster. When they reached the lowest point, they all fled in panic, but less than half of the trebuchets that could not be moved away in a hurry disappeared into the depths of the black holes in the cracks in the earth.
This was just a small earthquake, but the consequences were shocking!
The city of Minas Tirith is now protected by this unfathomable arc-shaped abyss crack with a width of more than 20 meters. The length of the crack is even more than six kilometers. Anyone who wants to escape from it at this time To attack the city of Minas Tirith from the ground, you would have to go around five or six kilometers from the left and right sides!
That unfathomable crack is like a sad scar on the Paliano Plain!
What's even more embarrassing is that the crack cuts across the plain one or two hundred meters away from Minas Tirith, which means that the twenty or so giant carriages that have approached the city wall have been cut off from the main formation. Come on! If you want to rescue them, one way is to bypass that terrifying crack, and the other way is to directly cross this abyss-like gap!
After experiencing extreme shock and shock, the morale of the defenders suddenly boosted. Immediately afterwards, the tall and simple White Tower also emitted a dazzling and brilliant light. This trick only requires about twenty people who know the basic arcana: The contractor of the lighting technique can make it. People in Noah's C space would have scorned it as a flashy gadget to impress people. However, on such a specific occasion, it instantly improved the morale of the defenders in the city. Reached the highest!
For a time, the whole of Minas Tirith was buzzing with slogans of "miracles". In the entire fortress-like city, hundreds of trebuchets were frantically tilting stones towards the carriages that had lost their retreat. A large number of Contractors and a group of more than 500 heavy-armored cavalry poured out from the city gate. They all seemed to be carrying something. Their target was the trolls responsible for pushing the giant building carts. If they didn't beat them hard at this time, As for Reservoir Dogs, how long will it take?
After the orc commander Gesmer encountered this situation, he also felt at a loss. However, after all, he was a powerful leader who was ordered by Sauron. He quickly recovered from the shock of the natural disaster and rode on Your own hyena mount, running around to boost morale!
Then under his control, the orc army on the plain below the city immediately separated into two groups, one on the left and the other on the right. They bypassed the terrifying crack of death and rushed over to fight the enemy, or to rescue them by the way. Looking down from the sky, his compatriots looked like a huge black crab, stretching out two pincers on the left and right, and clamping down hard on the enemies below the city.
However, Minas Tirith relied on its condescending advantage to have clearly observed Cosmer's movements. The troops and contractors who left the city quickly evacuated safely before the orc reinforcements arrived. When they came back, there wasn't even a tentative exchange. However, Sheyan could clearly see that they had thrown down all the things they carried when they left the city.
Those things were water bags one by one. The water in hundreds of water bags was splashed on the ground and gathered together. Not to mention causing a flood, but it at least made the ground wet, not to mention the water. Lannuo Plain is originally a place with abundant water and grass!
The next step was very simple. On the first level of the city of Minas Tirith, the earth contractors who had previously caused the earthquake united together again and began to use the magic circle to cast spells, but what they cast was not What a powerful spell, but also a low-level spell like lighting:
"Mire Technique."
The reason why this spell is a low-level spell is because it is extremely restricted by the environment. It cannot be used in deserts, but it cannot be used on complete water surfaces. The drier the place, the worse the effect.
Its effect is to create a large-scale quagmire with a depth of one meter to half a meter. This spell was mainly used to deal with cavalry charges. But this means that the army of orcs who go to rescue their companions have to face the embarrassing situation of trekking several kilometers in the quagmire. Of course, those elite orcs carried by the trucks also have to trek through the quagmire if they want to escape.
But they are all within range of the defenders on Minas Tirith! ! Their movement speed was restricted by the quagmire spell, and they suddenly became living targets unable to fight back!
