The Siege of Minas Tirith

Pellenor Fields

As Aragorn and Imrahil discussed there defence a great host of orcs, trolls etc came forth from Osigliath they were the doorstep of Minis Tirith. They had many catapults being ready to fire also there were at least 20 siege towers and many ladders to be thrown against the wall. The smaller orcs were rowed in front with archers behind each row with the bigger orcs and the southron men at the rear for the charge into the city itself with the bigger trolls ready also. All of the offensive was led by the chief commander the lord of the Nazgul the Witchking. The Witchking commanded the catapults to be launched with the heads of the dead men who charged with Faramir, the women and children screamed as they saw ont he faces there loved ones and they fled in horror.

Minas Tirith

As this was all happening there were screams from the women and children on the walls etc. Aragorn and Imrahil were still in the houses of healing tending to the injured men. One of the captains of the guard came rushing in to speak with the men.

Captain": My lords you have to come and see this!"

Aragorn looked at Imrahil as they walked out to the overview of the city as they walked down the street hundreds of people were screaming and running around. They came to a lookout tower overlooking the city to Aragorns and Imrahils horror there were thousands upon thousands of orcs the army of Mordor was at there doorstep.

Imrahil: "It is indeed the doom of our time, make haste captain alert the guard...prepare for battle"

The man nodded and ran down to prepare the men.

Imrahil: "Well will you not command your men know my lord for you are indeed there captain no I!"

Aragorn looked down at the enemy showing no emotion for he new he must act as King if indeed there would be a future Gondor to be king of.

Aragorn: "I agree my friend but we should act first I will get my armour and meet you on the wall prepare the men pull the women and children to the higer levels."

Imrahil nodded and rode his horse down to the lower levels and too the wall. Aragorn joined the rest of the army in the armoury while they were clad with armour. The smithy looked at Aragorn then looked at his ring while Aragorn chose his armour.

Smithy: "You are indeed a lord among men my lord, you should have the armour of the Kings High Gaurd once great men"

Aragorn smiled at the man and drew Anduril the flame of the west the sword of the king, and all around him shun with horror for t hey lay there eyes upon the King of gondor.

Smithy: "Forgive me my lord but your attire and people thought the line was broken. I will give you the kings Armour for it has yet to be worn it was saved for the return of the king"

Aragorn stood there as the smithy showed him the Kings armour and placed it on Aragorn. It was a perfect fit and Aragorn looked like a king at last.

Aragorn: "Thank you Smithy"

Aragorn walked out of the Armoury clad in his armour with Anduril in his hand he quickly marched down to the gate and eventually the wall were he met Imrahil who was giving orders to the men. Aragorn looked out over the field and stood in amazement for Saurons army was indeed mighty.

Imrahil: "I have assembled what men I can my lord"

Imrahil turned and looked at Aragorn he then stood back in awe of Aragorn for he saw know his kingship was showing know with the armour and the sword drawn.

Aragorn: "Were are my friends?"

Imrahil: "The elf and Dwarve are commanding the gate below you my lord we shall man the wall, your Halfling friends are up in the Citadel defending the women and children"

Aragorn nodded as he walked up and down the line of men, knights and archers. He glanced to the catapuls for the orcs had stopped and were about to launch there own catapults.

Aragorn: "Prepare to fire catapults"

The men looked at Imrahil first who gave them a look so fierce and they new to obey there new commander. The first wave of orcs bombardments came as many boulders crashed through the city smashing many builings and only once damaging the great wall.

Aragorn: "Fire, send them back to there pit!"

The men released there own catapults but to no effect for the line of orcs were to many to notice any damage. Suddenly trolls began to push the siege towers and ladders toward the wall.

Aragorn: "Archers!, aim at the Trolls!"

Hundreds of arrows rained down on the trolls who were clad in armour of there own. Imrahil was comanding the left hand side of the gate while Aragorn comanded the right. As this happened for a lengthy time and the Siege towers were almost in range all 9 of the Nazgul began to swoop down into the city screaming as they came, it gave the men fear.

Aragorn: "Stand to your posts to not show fear!"

Aragorn ran up and down the line know comforting the men who were scared. The Nazgul were destroying the Catapults of Gondor, the Siege towers know began to collapse on the wall and hundreds of orcs began to pour out.

Aragorn: "Draw swords hold your ground!"

The men crashed into the orcs and a fierce battle raged on as the men of Gondor could not hold them back for there were too many. Imrahil had yet to be tested for his wall stay untouched for a time, Imrahil looked to check on Aragorn who was covered in orc blood battling with the men he knew there numbers weakend.

Imrahil: "You take what men you have to the right hand side of the wall make haste and help your King!"

Half of Imrahils company left his side to join the battle and helpe Aragorn.As this happened flaming catapults pierced Imrahils wall and smashed through he fell back as many of his men were killed know many siege towers were seen through the smoke heading for his side and a great dragon like siege weapon was seen he could hear the orcs chanting, 'Grong' he could not quiet make out what they were saying but he readied his men best he could for there were many siege towers almost in reach of him.

Imrahil"Stand your ground men show them no fear fight for your children your women of gondor!"

Both walls were know being overun for Legolas and Gimli and there unit of men could see this happening.

Gimli: "Come on let them come on through!"

Also up in the Citadel Frodo and the hobbits looked down to see the battle raging on i n the darkness which now spread over Minis Tirith. Aragorn could know see he had to pull his men back from the wall and down to the gate for he also saw this weapon which was heading for the gate.

Aragorn: "Back to the gate!, quickly!"

The men rushed down towards the gate were legolas and Gimli met Aragorn, who looked up to see Imrahil still holding his wall. Imrahil could see this and nodded to confirm he must hold his part of the wall best he can.

Aragorn: "No matter what comes through that gate you will stand your ground sons of gondor"

As he said this the gate was being sieged by the big weapon of the enemy. The Witcking was know swooping around above Aragorn and his men he then swooped in to attack Aragorn who could see this but was knocked against the wall. Gimli, Legolas and the rest of the men couldnt reach Aragorn for the know the beast of the Nazgul blocked them and most of the men fled. As this happend the gate crashed open as the host of morder poured into the city and the Southrons were released. Gimli and Legolas held as best they could but many of the men fled while there King was trapped with the WitchKing.

Witchking"Aragorn son of Arathor the so called King of Gondor it is over"

Aragorn stumbled to his feet but still held the sword of Elendil.

Aragorn: "No you foul beast it is your end!"

He charged the bast killing it with one swift blow knocking the Witchking to the ground, he slowly got up and stood tall know against Aragorn.

Witchking: "You foolish man you cannot kill me I only wished to bring you before Sauron himself and you will suffer"

Aragorn swung at the King of the Nazgul who laughed and blocked it knocking Aragorn. Imrahil could see this from the above wall and ordered his men to retreat to the gate. Legolas screamed Aragorns name but couldnt fight his way through the crowd of orcs. The men looked to Imrahil who know came to the gate with his Knights.

Imrahil: "The rest of you pull back to the second level me and my men will get the king go know!"

Gimli and Legolas stayed with Imrahil and they battled there way through the battle which was still raging between the Witchking and Aragorn.

Witchking: "You very foolish man one of your ancestors fought me and died! You cannot kill me give in to the evil and join us, Ellesar!"

Aragorn screamed and kept attacking the Witchking who screamed at him when he attacked. Imrahil and his company with Gimli and legolas charged the Witcking who killed few of his men but they managed to distract him so Aragorn could get out of there.

Imrahil: "Quickly to the second level go!"

The men ran back and as they were running back to the second level men were fighting in the street for orcs were everywhere. They finnaly made it into the second level and the gate was locked even though men still lay out there alive.
