Chapter 90 Unexpected Support
At Azog's command, the Orcs in the front row raised their shields and pointed their spears at the charging chariots and riders, forming a defensive formation.
However, whether it is the dwarves' equipment or Levi's methods, they are always beyond the imagination of these orcs.
Whoosh——
The firework crossbow was shot out, blasting a small gap in the Orcs' formation. The fireworks that filled the seven firework stars dealt more than ten points of damage, and the explosive force directly overturned the shields in the hands of several Orcs.
Following closely behind were the dwarves' goat riders.
The goat's horns were large, curved, and quite hard, like a shield. Unlike the cavalrymen who rode horses, even if they charged directly at the spears, it would most likely be the other side that would be in trouble first.
You know, those are cavalrymen that can even break through the elves' shield formation.
These skinny orcs are even more impossible to stop.
With a crash, the goat riders charged into the army formation, knocking many of the orcs flying and turning over. Following closely behind was the chariot also pulled by big-horned goats.
Five chariots charged into the battle array, and the goats pulling the chariots lowered their heads in front of the battle array, rumbling and knocking away a whole row of Orcs, and the wheels clanged over the Orcs lying on the ground without stopping.
The sharp alloy blades on both sides of the wheels rotated at high speed as the chariot moved forward, cutting the Orcs who tried to surround it from both sides into two halves, including their bodies and armor, leaving a trail of blood on the ground.
The entire military formation was cut in half from the middle, opening up a wide and bloody road.
The width of the road is determined by the width of the car.
Levi turned his head and looked at the rapidly spinning strangulation device on the rear wheel of the chariot, secretly comparing them in his heart.
This thing, not to mention Oak's armor, it will lose a lot of blood if it cuts him.
If you touch it, you will fly away, and if you touch it, you will die.
The power of technology is so strong.
Under the impact of the Dwarf cavalry and chariots, the vanguard army that came to block them soon suffered a disaster. A large number of them were killed, and the ground was littered with the broken corpses of Orcs.
The formation could no longer be maintained. There were five cutting vehicles, which directly dismembered the infantry formation that dared to block them, and there was no way they could put it together again.
"Giant beast!"
Azog ordered.
Special troops must be used against special troops. For example, these chariots may be very powerful against infantry, but if you send in behemoths, they can be overturned with just one slap.
"We suffered heavy losses on our behemoths."
Borg reminded from the side.
In order to deal with Levi's various methods during the siege, almost all the giant beasts with the thickest skin, the largest size and the strongest resistance died.
"Now there are only a few trolls left."
Not even Olog.
"Then let them go!"
Clank, clank.
The orcs in the front row moved aside to make way for the trolls.
Compared to the behemoths, they may be a little inferior, but they are still powerful enough to deal with chariots. As long as they can seize the opportunity...
Whoosh——
Levi shot an arrow and set the ogre in front on fire. The flames burned and could not be extinguished even if it rolled on the ground. As long as the target was not immune to fire, it would burn for a few seconds.
The orcs in the back row poured water on the fallen ogre to put out the flames.
But while they were taking action, Levi would not sit idle, and the dwarves would not just sit there and watch. Neither Levi's fire arrows nor the armor-piercing automatic crossbows that could rotate in direction on the chariot were to be taken advantage of.
In the face of those thick steel crossbow arrows that were continuously shot by the dwarves, Levi's role at this moment even seemed insignificant.
Each of those arrows was able to pierce the skin of the trolls and penetrate into their bodies.
Under the cover of fire from five automatic crossbows, the ogres' offensive was quickly resolved, and they were unable to touch any chariot before they died.
“Damn it!”
Azog watched the chariots and cavalry approaching and felt uncomfortable.
How could he not see the intentions of Levi and others?
If there were still behemoths available, just one, just one would be enough to control these broken cars.
Or even if there is no behemoth, Olog will do.
Unfortunately, both the Behemoth and Olog were sent to attack the city in previous operations.
After the city wall was breached, the few remaining ones were eagerly sent in to act as pioneers.
As soon as he entered, there was no movement and not a single splash of water was made.
Now the only large units left are the slinging monsters on both sides, but they were not designed to be sent to the front row, they are functional monsters.
"We must not let the great enemy get close."
"Send the beasts against them!"
Azog immediately activated the alternative plan.
Buzz——
The flags were signaled, and wolves emerged from both sides.
“This is a bit troublesome…”
Compared to ogres, although worgs are much more fragile and can be killed with a single arrow, their advantage lies in their large numbers and strong mobility.
Furthermore, these wolves are the natural nemesis of goats.
If they are allowed to get close, the goat in front may be lost and the car will break down and become inoperable.
"Prepare to engage the enemy!"
Seeing that the situation was not good, Thorin immediately stood at the front of the car and shouted.
Next, he will most likely get off the car and fight.
Balin operated the automatic crossbow, aiming at the wolf and shooting wildly while tilting his head and asking: "Levi, do you have any other ideas?"
"Like the magic storm that Gandalf used in the orc town. How about you try one too?"
"Instead of counting on Gandalf and I to use that kind of magic, you might as well hope that reinforcements will come from heaven to help us deal with these wargs."
Levi shook his head, stopping Balin's thoughts.
"Get ready to get out of the car and fight. We are not far from our destination anyway, we can just force our way there."
"Once we get to the ruins of the watchtower, I'll block the road so they can't get in."
"All right."
“It just takes a little more time.”
Levi drew out his sword, stared at the wolf army in front of him, ready to charge at any time.
However, just as the firepower of the chariot was gradually unable to suppress the attack of the wolf, the goats pulling the chariot were about to meet the wolf army.
Suddenly, several cries were heard in the sky.
Levi looked up and saw seven or eight giant eagles flapping their wings and swooping down, using their claws as sharp as blades to plow away the approaching wolves in a row.
At the same time, a tall and strong figure jumped down from the giant eagle, and transformed into a giant bear the moment he landed. He pounced into the army, rushed to the front to fight with the wolves, and cleared the way for the chariots.
Beorn the Skinchanger.
"ah?"
On the chariot, Levi looked at Balin, and Balin also looked up at Levi.
"My Levi, you were right. Reinforcements really came from the sky!"
"What is this, a magic to call for reinforcements?" Even Thorin made a joke in front.
"I just said it casually..."
Li Wei held his forehead.
Are these giant eagles arriving at a too-cold moment?
"Hey--"
On a giant eagle, Radagast in a brown robe waved his staff and leaned over to greet Levi on the chariot.
"I'm here with reinforcements, we're not too late!"
“Just in time!”
Levi also waved back.
"Haha, let's see who dares to say that I can't play any role!"
This was especially directed at Gandalf.
When facing Sauron, both Gandalf and the members of the White Council refused to allow brown robes to accompany them.
Now it's finally his turn to shine.
After sending Levi and the others to the bottom of Raven Hill, the giant eagle cried a few times and continued to swoop down on the Orc army. Beorn was not far behind and was killing indiscriminately among the wolf pack.
"If I can't deal with Levi, can I deal with you?"
Seeing the bear being so arrogant, Azog couldn't bear it anymore and quickly arranged a team to carry out a targeted encirclement and suppression.
The giant bear's power is limited after all.
If he could really fight an army alone, the skin-changers would not have been killed until only one person was left.
After the initial fierce charge, Beorn quickly fell into a disadvantage and his strength was gradually consumed.
And the giant eagles also encountered enemies.
Another group of ogres emerged from the worm tunnel.
The rock-hard skin rubbed against the giant eagle's sharp claws, and the hammer in his hand kept waving in the air.
Not a big threat, but annoying enough.
"I think we should retreat for now. I see Gandalf on the wall over there."
Radagast and the Eagle suggested.
Soon, the giant eagle carrying the brown-robed wizard and the skin-changer Beorn turned around and flew towards the city wall, leaving behind only the devastated Orc army and a group of helpless and angry trolls.
When the eagle and the giant bear that fell from the sky left, the Orcs once again searched for Levi and the dwarves.
However, they discovered that in the ruins under Raven Ridge, a wall had appeared at some point - a wall made of the same material as the impenetrable city wall.
