Chapter 24: The Rescue of Gondor
When the white-robed wizard Gandalf proposed to help the Kingdom of Gondor defend Minas Tirith.
King Théoden of the Kingdom of Rohan did not want to help the Kingdom of Gondor. He hesitated because in the battle of Helm's Deep just now, the Kingdom of Gondor did not send a single soldier to support.
Regardless of whether they were going or not, Zeng Yunfeng was going to go. He set off early, which embarrassed Theoden, the king of the province.
"Sir, sir, why is King Théoden hesitant? Aren't they allies!" Agura said.
"How can a country have so many allies? Human beings are the most realistic!" Zeng Yunfeng twitched his horse and moved forward quickly.
And this time, Zeng Yunfeng sent mercenaries to help the Kingdom of Rohan for a reason. It was because of his own interests. At the Rohan Pass, from north to west, much of the entire continent was the territory of Zeng Yunfeng's mercenary guild.
The country here is not powerful, but the mercenary guilds here have many tasks. Because these countries are not powerful, they cannot do many things on their own. Once Essinger's orc army breaks through here, then
The consequences could be disastrous.
Minas Tirith is the capital of the Kingdom of Gondor. The city is made up of white buildings as a whole and is built on the mountains. If you look at it from top to bottom, the city looks like a white sword, with the blade pointed directly at the devil.
many.
In fact, it can be said that the Kingdom of Gondor suffered countless hardships in order to fight against Sauron's army. The original capital of the Kingdom of Gondor was Osgilias. Later, in the process of fighting against Sauron's army, it was beaten to pieces.
It was later abandoned by the Kingdom of Gondor.
So now this white city, Minas Tirith, became the capital of the Kingdom of Gondor.
There is another city on the other side of the Anduin River called Minas Morgul, which was completely abandoned due to the war with Sauron, so the Kingdom of Gondor has no time to take care of the affairs of the Kingdom of Rohan, and their troubles are even greater.
The current king of the Kingdom of Rohan is actually very narrow-minded. You must know that the land of the Kingdom of Rohan is the territory of the original Kingdom of Gondor. However, because the land of the Kingdom of Rohan is basically grassland, Rohan
The kingdom is also very poor.
They will not develop this land. The capital of the Kingdom of Rohan is established in Edoras, which is the place that Theoden of the Kingdom of Rohan abandoned. That place is on the top of the mountain.
The Kingdom of Rohan is also really poor. This is really not a lie. Many of their people live in thatched huts, and their children crawl all over the ground like dogs.
Therefore, it is very normal for people in the Kingdom of Rohan to be angry. Even though the Kingdom of Gondor has been fighting Sauron's army for so many years, the Kingdom of Gondor is still very rich. Just look at their capital.
Can see the difference.
The wizard Gandalf rushed to the Kingdom of Gondor, but failed to persuade the regent. On the night when Gandalf stayed in the Kingdom of Gondor, Minas Morgul across the street, now the territory of the Witch King of Angmar, let out a sky-high sound.
of light.
It seems that the Supreme Lord of the Rings is close to the territory of the Witch King of Angmar, which alerts the Witch King of Angmar. The Witch King of Angmar is the number one general under Sauron and one of the nine human Ringwraiths in the demon world.
The most powerful one.
The Witch King of Angmar once founded the Kingdom of Angmar in the Angmar Mountains and destroyed the three countries after the division of the Kingdom of Arnor. He can be said to be the head of the Nine Rings and the King of the Ringwraiths.
He is basically the biggest visible boss that we have to fight against in this world right now. Others are like Sauron, who can only see one eye. What the hell.
Gandalf was forced to do nothing. None of the two relatively large national forces closest to Mordor, except for the United Kingdom of Mercenaries, were willing to listen to Gandalf.
The white-robed wizard Gandalf could only let the hobbits secretly light the beacon tower in the capital of the Kingdom of Gondor. Beacon towers were lit one after another and burned all the way to Edoras along the White Mountains.
At this time, the Rohan people who were still in Edras were a little confused when they saw the beacon fire on this beacon tower.
Even if the king of Rohan told Gandalf before, he would not support Gondor.
Now seeing Gondor lighting beacons to ask for help from the Kingdom of Rohan, the Kingdom of Rohan cannot stand idly by.
Zeng Yunfeng Mercenaries The cavalry of the United Kingdom had already set off for Gondor. Zeng Yunfeng had already taken the mercenaries of the Mercenary Guild to Anorion to meet up with his army on the banks of the Anduin River.
The war is about to break out, and Osgiliath, the original capital of Gondor, has now been captured by the orcs.
The mercenary United Kingdom's army is divided into three directions. One direction is led by Zeng Yunfeng and is preparing to go to the capital of Gondor for support. One part is preparing to assemble in the War Plains, and the other part is preparing to meet the army from the north in the Iron Hills and Lonely Mountain.
After all, Thranduil's elven troops in the Lonely Mountain need support from human forces.
Fortunately, Zeng Yunfeng's mercenary United Kingdom's military strength is not so stretched.
After all, there are now more than 30 million people in the country, and with the mercenaries from various mercenary guilds, the number should be enough.
This Anduin River will be the supply line for Zeng Yunfeng's army. A steady stream of supplies will flow down the river from the Mercenary United Kingdom to supply Zeng Yunfeng's army. Zeng Yunfeng has plans for this war.
, the land of Mordor that others didn’t care about, Zeng Yunfeng cared about it very much.
The current Mercenary United Kingdom has its mercenary royal city, Iron Sword City, between Nanhetao and Beihetao. Sitting there is Zeng Yunfeng’s wife Tauriel, who is also the queen of the entire Mercenary United Kingdom.
As soon as the army moved forward with food and fodder, Zeng Yunfeng did not have so many servants this time. This time the matter was too urgent. Except for Zeng Yunfeng, the Kingdom of Rohan and the Kingdom of Gondor were not prepared for a real war.
Their troops must not have been fully assembled. It would be great to have 50,000 to 60,000 troops.
This war in the Magic City will show the world the power that Zeng Yunfeng has accumulated over the past few decades. In this world, Zeng Yunfeng has almost become a war madman.
In the decades since the founding of the People's Republic of China, Zeng Yunfeng's mercenary United Kingdom has continued to expand outwards, eastward, and eastward.
Zeng Yunfeng was thinking of something different, because Zeng Yunfeng's life would be very long.
Then what is left is to continue to explore new cultures and new knowledge, and the best choice for this method is communication. There are two types of communication, one is the exchange of civilizations, and the other is war.
At this time, the city of Minas Tirith, the capital of the Kingdom of Gondor, was already filled with orc armies. After all, the army of Mordor was too close to the Kingdom of Gondor.
Seeing so many Orc legions under the city, the Regent suddenly said loudly to the numerous Gondor troops: "Give up resistance and prepare to flee.".
Gandalf, the white-robed wizard who had been in the capital of the Kingdom of Gondor for a long time, was so angry that his head was boiling. Finally he couldn't bear it anymore. He took his staff and hit the regent on the head with a stick, knocking him unconscious.
, although Gandalf has upgraded and changed his equipment, his temper has not changed at all.
This time Gandalf plays the role of Jiang Ziya when King Wu conquers Zhou, but how does Jiang Ziya feel when a prince suddenly wants to surrender to King Zhou?
The army did not use bows and arrows to attack the city, but large trebuchets. This siege was not as simple as the last siege in Helm's Deep.
The Witch King of Angmar also released many dragon mounts, allowing them to attack the Gondor troops defending the city from the air.
The entire army of Gondor now has no king at all. The regent has been beaten to the ground long ago. Now the commander is actually the white-robed wizard Gandalf. It's incredible.
The siege vehicles built by these orcs directly hit the walls of the capital of Gondor, and soldiers continued to enter the capital of Gondor from underneath.
Moreover, there were many battering rams underneath attacking the gates of the capital of Gondor. What Zeng Yunfeng learned was that there were not only many allies coming from the land, but also from the Haradh people in the south and Andu the Shun.
Because of the pirates coming up the river, these troops also came in a steady stream.
The royal city of Gondor has been guarding the city for a day, but Rohan's army has not arrived yet.
Zeng Yunfeng's army is gathering in large numbers, and Zeng Yunfeng is also waiting for his greatest fighting force to arrive, that is the evil dragon Smaug.
"How long will it take for the army of the Kingdom of Rohan to arrive?" Zeng Yunfeng sat in the commander's tent and issued the order.
"We should be able to arrive tomorrow morning," the military information officer said.
"What did the Regent of Gondor say?" Zeng Yunfeng asked.
"The regent of Gondor was unconscious and said nothing." The military interrogator hesitated.
"Comatose?" Zeng Yunfeng's head was full of questions.
"Order the army to camp 10 miles north of Minas Tirith." Zeng Yunfeng remembered something and sighed.
"Order the logistics troops to distribute three days' worth of rations to the mercenaries, keep them clothed and ready to go," Zeng Yunfeng said.
The royal city of Gondor was guarded for a day and a night. The next day, Zeng Yunfeng's army and Rohan's army arrived almost at the same time.
