After beating up Faramir, Fangzheng slipped away on the same day. Although his original intention was to stop Faramir from going to his death, he had beaten up the regent's son in front of so many people in Whitetown. It would be awkward for him to stay there any longer, so Fangzheng decisively left.
In any case, he had already brought the King of Rohan's letter, and he had already seen the military strength of Sauron's side. Calculating the time, it was about time for the Rohan army to gather, so Fangzheng turned around and ran back.
It was already the morning of the third day when Fangzheng arrived at Dunharrow. When the old king and the prince heard Fangzheng's arrival, they immediately came out to greet him.
"You're finally back, sir!"
"Yes, I'm back."
Fangzheng nodded to the two, then looked around.
"Where are those guys?"
"… They left."
Hearing Fangzheng's question, the prince sighed. Of course he knew who Fangzheng was referring to.
"Oh, I see."
Fangzheng, of course, knew where the rangers had gone. They had gone to the Valley of the Undead, where Aragorn, in the name of the king of Gondor, gathered an army of undead who had defected and returned to Whitetown to defeat Sauron's army.
To be honest, this was the part that Fangzheng disliked the most in the movie. Before this, there had been no appearance of an undead army. Then suddenly, the Elven King came and gave Aragorn a sword. Aragorn then took the sword and went to gather the undead army. It gave the impression that it was a rote and illogical story. Originally, everyone was going to fight to the death until the last moment, but you suddenly used a cheat and gathered a group of invincible troops that were invincible and not afraid of sunlight.
You even said that it was going to be the era of humans, but you were saved by a group of undead. It was more accurate to say that it was the era of the undead, right?
Should I give you a Lich King?
If you want to show human courage, you should show it to the end. Even if the armies of all the countries in Middle Earth suddenly gathered to deal with Sauron, it would still be more reasonable and reliable than some undead army.
But in the end, the humans still couldn't defeat Sauron and had to rely on the undead army?
What kind of human Epic-ranked creature was that?
Of course, Fangzheng also understood the meaning of this plot. If it wasn't written this way, Aragorn would be useless in the Lord of the Rings. His so-called "Royal Bloodline" was used to subdue the undead here. Otherwise, the "Last Heir of the Royal Family" or something like that might not even be as valuable as Liu Bei's "Queen of King Jing of Zhongshan". It was basically a piece of useless paper.
The kind that would be too hard to wipe one's butt.
After all, in the Western world, this kind of bloodline theory is popular. Look at the Regent, because he does not admit this, he was described by Gandalf as a despicable and shameless villain who is greedy for power.
It was as if only the heir of the royal bloodline had the right to become the ruler, and anyone else who dared to take the throne was a disrespectful thief.
Although Fangzheng had never met the Regent, he still quite agreed with Lohamir's rebuke to Aragorn in the first movie, "Gondor doesn't need a king".
Fangzheng did not hate Aragorn, but he was disgusted by the setting of "only the royal bloodline can save the world". So, Fangzheng decided to change his approach. Well, if Aragorn came to Minas Tirith with his undead army and found that Sauron had been defeated, it would be a very interesting scene.
"Forget it. I've brought back information about Minas Tirith. The situation is very serious."
Thinking of this, Fangzheng did not say anything else. He quickly led the King of Rohan and his party into the tent and began to describe his findings.
At the same time, Sauron's army had surrounded Minas Tirith, and a great battle was about to break out.
"Fangzheng really made the right decision not to let you leave."
Standing on the city wall, Gandalf wiped away the cold sweat on his forehead as he watched the two sides attack each other with their catapults. He looked at Faramir beside him. The Regent had lost his mind. When he saw his city surrounded by Sauron's army, he screamed for reinforcements to come and protect the city. However, Faramir was knocked out by Fangzheng, and Rohan's reinforcements had not arrived yet. In desperation, the Regent shouted for everyone to run for their lives, then jumped off the platform and died in front of everyone.
At that time, the whole of Minas Tirith was in chaos. Fortunately, Gandalf turned the tide. He first stabilized the army, then woke Faramir up. After seeing Faramir's appearance, the chaotic army finally stabilized and began to defend the city under Faramir's command.
If Faramir had died … .it would have been really over.
"What a pity. It would have been better if he could have stayed here."
Standing on the city wall, Faramir smiled bitterly when he heard Gandalf's words. Although he was also sad for his father's death, Faramir clearly knew his duty, so even though he was sad, he still pulled himself together and commanded the army to fight against Sauron.
For a time, the two sides were in a stalemate because the other side did not send out the Ringwraiths this time. Obviously, Fangzheng's action of killing two Ringwraiths in a row had completely shocked Sauron's army, so this time, instead of sending the Ringwraiths to assist the army in attacking the city, they let the Orc army do it themselves.
After all, there were thousands of Orcs, but only nine Ringwraiths — oh, only seven left now.
After all, the Ringwraiths killed by Fangzheng had their souls destroyed. They could not be more dead.
This frightened the Ringwraiths. They simply could not understand how someone could kill them, and even completely destroy themselves. That was why they did not dare to show up now. It was also because of this that Minas Tirith was able to hold on under the attack of the Orcs.
After all, if they simply defended the city, even if their numbers were small, it would still be very advantageous. As long as they held on until Rohan's reinforcements arrived, the problem would be solved. It was the same before. As long as the Ringwraiths did not show up, Faramir's army would not have been defeated so quickly. Their evil magic could disintegrate the fighting spirit of the soldiers, filling them with fear and making them unable to fight. This was the biggest problem.
Until now, the Ringwraiths had not shown up. Obviously, they were also afraid of Fangzheng's power. If they found that Fangzheng was not in the city, they would probably launch an attack immediately. When that time came, no one knew what would happen.
Of course, the ideal situation was that the Ringwraiths would not show up until Rohan's reinforcements arrived. If that was the case, then they still had a fighting chance.
Now it all depended on how long the other side could endure.
Suppressing the uneasiness in his heart, Faramir looked forward again.
"Evacuate the women and children immediately and move everyone to a safe place! Keep fighting and hold on. Rohan's reinforcements will arrive soon!! "
Unfortunately, Faramir's expectation did not become a reality.
Obviously, the fact that the Orc army could not take down Minas Tirith after such a long time did not satisfy their ruler. Just as the dark clouds shrouded the whole of White City, a sharp, mournful roar rang out again. Then, the Ringwraiths riding dark beasts emerged from the clouds and pounced towards the capital.
With the appearance of the Ringwraiths, the defence of the capital finally began to loosen.
Amidst the screams of the beasts, the soldiers lost their fighting spirit and determination to fight. They hugged their heads and curled up into a ball, resisting the ear-piercing screams in pain.
At the same time, the Orc army cooperated with the Ringwraiths to launch another attack. They pushed out a huge battering ram and knocked hard on the thick and solid gate of Minas Tirith. Under the attack of the battering ram, the extremely solid gate finally could not hold on any longer. It let out a wail and began to crack.
"The gate can't hold on any longer!"
Seeing this scene, Faramir made a decisive decision.
"Everyone evacuate to the second floor immediately. Throw stones and pour kerosene!!!"
Under Faramir's order, all the soldiers quickly evacuated. They poured kerosene on the ground, then pushed down boulders to block the passage to the first floor.
When the battering ram broke through the first floor gate and the Orcs rushed into White City, what they saw were countless fire arrows flying towards them.
The burning flames instantly ignited the kerosene on the ground. In the blink of an eye, the entire first floor was completely engulfed in a sea of fire. The Orcs who were caught in the fire were naturally not spared.
"Phew … Fortunately, we managed to hold on."
Faramir let out a long sigh. He knew how powerful the Ringwraiths were, so he had made several preparations to deal with the Ringwraiths. After all, their only goal now was to stall for time and try to hold the city before Rohan's reinforcements arrived. So he had to adopt this scorched earth strategy. In any case, the flames and boulders would not be frightened by the magic of the Ringwraiths, let alone flee in panic. From a certain point of view, they were much more reliable than the soldiers.
But this was also the limit.
The Orcs poured into the city like a tide, and the soldiers of Minas Tirith began to retreat again. Although the scorched earth strategy had some effect, the enemy also had the threat of the trebuchets and the Ringwraiths. After losing the threat of the soldiers stationed on the city wall, the trebuchets of the Orc army suddenly began to fire. Stones flew out one after another and smashed into the towers and walls of White City, turning them into broken wreckage.
Just as Faramir was thinking about what to do next, a loud horn suddenly sounded. It drowned out the roars and shouts on the battlefield and echoed in the sky.
"That's …!"
Hearing the horn, Faramir's eyes lit up. He hurriedly turned around and saw that on the other side, a dense army had appeared at the far end of the horizon.
"It's Rohan's reinforcements!!"
Seeing this scene, the soldiers on the city wall immediately let out excited cheers.
"It seems that we've come at the right time."
Looking at the besieged White City in front of him, Fangzheng whistled, then looked at the old king beside him.
"Your Majesty, are you ready? Let's go … Time waits for no man. "
"The Rohan Cavalry!!"
Hearing Fangzheng's words, the old king suddenly drew his sword and shouted.
"Charge!!!"
"Woo woo woo —!!"
The horn sounded again.
The next moment, the Rohan Cavalry galloped down the hillside like a tide, charging towards the Sauron army in front of them.
That's more like it.
Seeing this, Fangzheng nodded with satisfaction. Speed was the most important thing for cavalry. Sudden attacks were all about speed. Talking a lot of nonsense like in the movies, giving the enemy time to change their formation and defend, was simply stupid.
If you want to boost morale, you can talk nonsense at any other time. Why do you have to say it in front of the enemy?
Well then, it's time for me to do it.
Recollecting his thoughts, Fangzheng looked forward and stepped on the accelerator. The next moment, a black shadow shot out from the cavalry and rushed towards the Orc army!
At that moment, the Orc army also noticed the cavalry galloping towards them. They hurriedly wanted to change their formation, but Fangzheng would not give them the chance.
"Let's set off a bunch of colorful fireworks!"
As he shouted, Fangzheng pressed the button beside him. Then, he saw the back of the pitch-black motorcycle suddenly open up. Dozens of miniature missiles flew out with wisps of white smoke towards the Beastman army in front of them.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The next moment, a series of explosions mixed with flames emerged from the Orc army, completely disrupting the already chaotic formation of the Orcs.
