3. Destruction of Isengard
Battle between the Ents, or treemen and the remaining troops at Isengard. Enraged at Saruman's rampant cutting of trees, they laid siege to Isengard. It was fortunate that most of the troops had been emtied out for a final attck on Isengard. The feeble resistance by Isengard only caused the Ents to press on their onslaught and soon most of Isengard was in ruins. Most of the escaping Orcs were killed by the Ents surrounding the edge of Isengard. A ent was burnt by fire vents activated by Saruman, so Treebeard, leader of the attack broke a dam to flood the bowels of Isengard. This final attck submerged everything except the Tower, leaving Saruman trapped and defeated. Adding to his troops' sound defeat at Hornburg, Saruman could not do military damage to the West any more.
