At this time, anyone with a little bit of military knowledge knows about the situation in the battle in Gushan, and the decisive battle is right in front of them.

Alleyne, Bandak, and Gandalf led a mixed force of humans and elves of more than a thousand people, and stood ready to the west of the orcs.

Especially the human troops, their strength is weak. Although their morale is not bad, they all look nervous. In the cold winter, their faces are covered with sweat, and the hands holding the weapons are so hard that the veins on the backs of their hands are exposed.

To the east of the Orcs were nearly 400 human cavalry led by Fatis, about 200 dwarf cavalry led by Dain, and three dwarf chariots.

They occupied the eastern hillside, watching the orc army with eager eyes, always ready to give the enemy a fatal blow.

Directly north of the Orcs was a shield formation composed of more than a thousand dwarves and elves. They had been fighting the Orcs for a long time on the frontal battlefield.

However, their fighting spirit was still strong, and under the leadership of their respective kings, they stood directly in front of the orcs without any fear.

At this time, Allen, with his own bodyguards and two skin-changers, was arguing with Thorin Oakenshield and Thrando Yin about when to launch a decisive battle.

The current battlefield is like the calm before the storm, and the commanders on both sides seem to be waiting for the other side to make the first move.

Allen didn't know what Azog was thinking, but he knew that the longer it took, the better it would be for him.

After all, on this battlefield, most of our own soldiers who can still stand are those who have been fighting for a long time.

At this time, even if they can rest for one more minute, the recovered physical strength may allow them to survive the next decisive battle.

At this time, Azog's orc troops had all come out of the tunnel. They were nearly eight thousand Uruks and a dozen trolls.

They gathered in the open space in front of the tunnel and formed three dense square formations, one large and two small.

Under Azog's order, more than a thousand Uruk soldiers, holding long-handled weapons more than two meters long, lined up in three rows to guard the east of the orc phalanx, guarding the six orcs on the hillside.

More than a hundred mixed cavalry.

As long as the enemy dares to charge, they will entangle them with flesh and blood.

The remaining more than 6,000 people formed two extremely dense square formations, one large and one small, facing off against the two long snake formations of the coalition forces.

Among them, there are only more than a thousand smaller ones, and they will be responsible for entangling the mixed troops of elves and dwarves.

The larger ones have four to five thousand people, and they will be responsible for attacking the formations composed of humans and elves.

It seems that the width of the two sides is about the same, but the orcs' phalanx is much thicker than the long snake formation of humans and elves.

A large group of dark Uruk soldiers stood in front of them, putting great pressure on the coalition soldiers. In this case, the elves and dwarves could still support it.

But Allen's men were mainly spearmen and shooters composed of forest residents. At this time, some people could not bear the huge pressure and were slowly retreating.

At this time, Allen, along with his personal guards and two skin-changers, had followed the square formation composed of dwarves and elves and came behind the human soldiers.

Allen knew that his soldiers were the weakest part in this battle.

Sure enough, Allen, who had just stood still, noticed this situation immediately, and he shouted loudly from behind the team.

"Stick your ground and don't take a step back."

After hearing Allen's cry, the officers in the team began to stabilize the soldiers' confidence.

In addition, their own lord was watching from behind, allowing these soldiers to re-energize their spirits and stabilize their formation.

Seeing all this, Allen breathed a sigh of relief quietly.

The current situation is so tense. If your soldiers collapse without a fight, the chain reaction will likely lead to the failure of the entire battle, and no one will be able to survive by then.

But Allen can also understand them. Facing enemies that are several times more numerous than him, he can still muster his energy. They can already be said to be very good warriors.

And this kind of psychological oppression is all within the scope of Azog's consideration.

Even if he wants to use more troops to defeat them one by one, he will not allow the enemy's infantry to gather together. As long as they are there, he will give the order to charge directly.

Azog had tested the human commander once or twice before, and both sides knew that any move would mean the beginning of a decisive battle.

Now, under Azog's order, Uruk formed a very dense formation.

Azog believes that when the decisive battle comes later, the dense attack of the Uruks will also bring greater pressure to the enemy.

After all, the arrows of humans and elves have been exhausted, and Azog no longer worries about the enemy's covering fire.

If the Uruk soldiers can break through the enemy's formation and surround them in the next battle, Azog will be able to declare victory in this battle.

No matter what happens, we can still fight a stalemate and wait for the support of the second army.

The orc leader had previously considered whether to form a loose formation and directly surround the enemy's long snake formation from both sides.

But the more than 600 cavalrymen of humans and dwarves stared at the orc troops from the sidelines.

The range of more than a thousand Uruk soldiers armed with long weapons was not enough to intercept them.

So Azog gave up this idea, believing that the dense formation would be more advantageous in the next battle.

However, Azog was still a little confused. He couldn't understand. Aren't these humans, elves, and dwarves afraid of death?

Why did you take the initiative to walk out of the city wall and choose to fight with yourself on the plains?

Although huddled within the city walls will inevitably lead to death, at least you can live a little longer.

You must know that the number of troops he has is three times that of theirs, and all of them are Uruks. On the battlefield, one Uruk can equal the strength of five northern orcs.

Not to mention there are more than a dozen trolls.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Although he was a little confused, Azog did not hesitate for too long.

He slowly raised his arms, opened his mouth with a grin, and was about to give the order for Uruk and the trolls to charge. He wanted to completely crush the enemy in this attack.

Just when he was about to say "all-army attack", some figures suddenly came into his eyes. They were blue, white and golden figures.

This discovery made Azog's eyes widen, and for a moment, he fell into panic.

For a while, I even forgot to give the order.

Just when Azog was panicking, Lord Elrond led the supporting elves over the mountain and suddenly appeared behind the Uruk soldiers.

Along with Lord Elrond, there was also Lagorath who came to support his father.

This elf prince, after receiving news from the orcs, gathered the few elf archers in the Woodland Kingdom.

He rushed towards the Lonely Mountain without rest, and gathered with Lord Elrond's troops on the way.

As soon as they appeared behind the enemy, they quickly rained down several waves of arrows on the orc phalanx that did not react.

The dense formation of the orcs at this time caused them to suffer heavy losses from this wave of long-range attacks by the elves. More than a thousand Uruks and most of the trolls fell directly.

The Uruks, who were suddenly attacked, fell into panic.

Immediately afterwards, a dull horn sound came from Raven Ridge, and Azog issued a new order. He actually did not let the Uruk soldiers fight to the death with the enemy in front of them.

The dark Uruk actually began to break through the large gap in the center of the two long snake formations in the direction of Raven Ridge.

Yes, Azog on Raven Hill gave the order to break out. After seeing the support brought by Lord Elrond, he subconsciously thought it was a trap.

After all, he himself had the same idea, and the more than 20,000 armed Snaga were about to arrive.

Azog, who was a little flustered, suddenly felt that the commander on the opposite side was so good and had exactly the same idea as his own.

Moreover, the situation on the battlefield at this time has also undergone subtle changes.

Originally, Azog had nearly 8,000 fresh troops at his disposal. Facing the coalition's nearly 3,000 exhausted troops, he still had an absolute advantage.

But it's different now.

After the troops he gathered were hit by arrows, their number was only over 6,000, while the number of the coalition forces increased to more than 5,000 after receiving support.

Under the circumstances, Azog's numerical advantage was reduced to only a few hundred people.

Azog knew that this person was not an advantage at all, because the fighting power of the elves was much higher than that of Uruk.

On the current battlefield, the strength of the combined forces of humans, dwarves, and elves actually surpassed Azog at this moment.

Faced with this situation, the pale orcs actually gave up the decisive battle and issued an order to break out.

Azog was afraid. He was afraid that Lord Elrond would lead the supporting elves and go straight to Raven Hill and attack his headquarters, so he gave the Uruk soldiers an order to break out.

At this time, Allen, who was running towards Raven Ridge with his bodyguards and skin-changers, saw this scene and knew that Azog had lost on the frontal battlefield.

Allen believed that if Azog issued an order for a decisive battle, then these more than 6,000 Uruks might cause great trouble to the coalition forces.

But in order to retain some strength, Azog, or rather, the orc commander hoped that these Uruks could guard the road to Raven Ridge.

Azog has no choice. He doesn't want to retreat. He has another powerful trump card and will be able to rush to the battlefield soon.

But Allen would not give him this chance. He relied on the elf horse's superb speed to rush to the foot of Raven Ridge in a short period of time.

Yes, as soon as Allen saw Lord Elrond, he knew that the opportunity to attack Azog had arrived.

Although he was very surprised to see Lord Elrond's support, because it was completely different from the plot he knew.

But Allen reacted in an instant and realized that this was an opportunity to change the situation of the battle. He roared and rushed towards Raven Ridge with his elite troops.

Because Allen knows that the appearance of Lord Elrond must have attracted all of Azog's attention. If he doesn't go now, how long will it take?

Following Allen was Thorin Oakenshield with more than twenty elite cavalry.

It was obvious that the dwarf prince had the same idea.

At this time, Azog did not notice that there were already two teams coming towards him.

In fact, being cautious, he was guarded by hundreds of elites, as well as several trolls, who were also on standby in this place.
