Chapter 596 The Battle of Helm's Deep Begins!

Aragorn felt very relieved that his father-in-law was so powerful.

Although there were only two or three hundred elven archers, it was a very bloody act for the elves.

After all, the elves themselves were not many.

So it was a very bloody act for the elves.

The scouts sent out rushed back.

"The orcs are coming!"

"The orcs are coming!"

"They are everywhere, all over the mountains and plains."

The scout was frightened. He had never seen so many orcs before, and he was a little overwhelmed.

The news and panic he brought back also infected others. Fortunately, Chang Wei had anticipated it and isolated the scouts, so only the senior officials looked serious, and the scouts were taken away to appease them.

"The orcs are coming soon, let everyone prepare for the battle. This time there is no advantage of terrain and mobility."

Chang Wei said.

Gandalf may bring back reinforcements in time as in the original plot, but it is also possible that he did not.

Not to mention, there are mountain people mixed in these orc armies.

Mountain people are also called Dunlanders, a kind of human, with the same character as the Onshars, who like to get something for nothing and plunder.

More than 10,000 Uruks, plus some of the Dunlanders, this is the army they are facing now.

Horn Castle has probably never encountered an enemy invasion of this scale.

The sky and the earth are covered with dark clouds, and the city is about to be destroyed.

The dark clouds on the earth are naturally the Uruk army. As the scout said, they are all over the mountains and plains.

"It is too disadvantageous for us to start a war in the dark."

Aragorn said standing next to Chang Wei.

"I hate human walls, which prevent me from seeing the enemy!"

The dwarf Jinli complained.

As the Uruk army got closer, all the sounds disappeared, leaving only the dense and messy footsteps of the Uruk army.

After all, they are not trained regular troops. Even if there are many of them, it is impossible for them to walk out of the army with a united mind and a shaking earth and sky, like a ragtag army.

But it's good this way. If they can get out of such a military situation, Chang Wei said that there is no need to fight, and they will abandon the Horn Castle directly. Rohan will turn to nomadic cavalry and archery from now on, and fight guerrilla warfare with the orcs.

Even if humans yell and shout, they can't hear what they shout in front of the footsteps.

Depressing, terrible, heavy.

Some people are even wavering, except for those cavalrymen who have fought with Chang Wei, their upright postures do not tremble at all.

Too many orcs died in their hands, making them feel that the orcs are nothing great, and their spirits were beaten by Chang Wei.

Although I don't know if it can reach the level of one Han against five barbarians, at least they really have no fear of the orcs, and naturally they will not be scared by such noise.

The orcs stopped at a distance beyond the range of the bows and arrows near the Horn Castle.

Then a captain of the orcs stood up, and it let out a hysterical roar, and the creepy sound spread throughout the battlefield.

The orcs roared, and the noise was much louder than their footsteps.

It was so deafening that everyone felt their ears buzzing and could not hear anything else.

This was not over yet. They hit the ground with their weapons, just like the rhythm of drums.

This made the ground start to vibrate, and suddenly, the whole earth seemed to vibrate.

"Aragorn, let the elves take action!"

Chang Wei saw this scene and immediately said to Aragorn.

Aragorn looked confused and said that he could not hear what Chang Wei was saying.

The elves, who covered their ears with ugly faces, heard it. They had been told that Chang Wei was the supreme commander, and even King Theoden had to obey his command and orders.

So they endured the discomfort brought by the sound and shot arrows at the orcs.

These elven archers held several arrows in their hands. Although they were disturbed, it still did not affect the terrible accuracy of these elves.

With a whoosh, these elves had already shot and killed a large number of orcs. Each person's arrows were accurately shot into the orcs' eye sockets, avoiding their helmets and armor!

Chang Wei asked them to shoot because he was worried that the vibrations caused by the orcs hitting the ground would resonate with the Horn Fort.

Due to the budget and plot constraints in the movie, there would naturally be no such physical phenomena, but the reality is not necessarily the case. The resonance effect is everywhere. For example, a team of soldiers marching in step can resonate with a bridge, and then the bridge is gone and collapsed.

Chang Wei pays attention to details, so he naturally has to prevent such a situation from happening.

After a large number of orcs were shot and killed, the entire battlefield was quiet for a while, and then the orcs roared even more crazily. After seeing death and blood, they were not afraid or panicked, but became even crazier.

Then they roared and charged towards the city wall.

Chang Wei has already led people to urgently manufacture a batch of rockets, and now is the time to use them. Moreover, these rockets are also tied with poison. Once they are fired, they can produce poisonous smoke and poisonous gas under the burning flame.

The armor worn by the orcs is not paper after all. Most of the arrows shot by the Rohan civilians are weak and powerless, and it is impossible to penetrate the armor of the orcs. Since it is a waste of arrows, it is better to play hard.

So this wave of rockets was Chang Wei's ruthless work.

Under Chang Wei's command, the elves and the Rohan cavalry, who were best at archery, aimed at the place where the largest number of orcs gathered in the distance and shot arrows.

These rockets caused a little fear to the orcs, but not much, and because of the armor, not many orcs were shot to death, but after the rockets landed, the poison tied to the arrow body was ignited by the flames along the arrow shaft.

Not only poison, but also kerosene, in order to spread the fire.

Then the orcs around suddenly felt difficulty breathing, and then their bodies fell to the ground uncontrollably, dizzy, and never stood up again after falling down.

"It's poison!"

The orcs didn't know yet, and after hundreds of orcs fell, they discovered the poisonous smoke and gas produced by the burning flames.

This forced the orcs to extinguish the flames. Fortunately, such a small flame caused limited trouble to the orc army, and they still had an absolute advantage in numbers.

The wall where Chang Wei and his men were located was the Deep Creek Wall, which was the easiest to breach. At this time, the effective killing caused by the rockets made them all excited.

Unfortunately, it was gone.

The Kingdom of Rohan evacuated in a hurry and did not bring too many supplies.
