Located in the Iron Hills in the far north of Middle-earth, it is still very cool even now that summer has entered.
A large number of dwarves drove goats and horses in groups on the relatively flat roads between the mountains, heading towards the lonely mountain. These were the migrating Durin dwarves in the Iron Hills.
At this time, the king's enthronement ceremony held in Gushan had also ended hastily. Thorin II, who originally wanted to hold a special event, dispersed his energy to other places because of the arrival of the Dongyi people.
At this time, King Durin, after arranging the matters related to the Lonely Mountain to Fili, had brought a team of fifty dwarf goat cavalry, accompanied by Dine Ironfoot, to the vicinity of the Iron Hills. He wanted to
Check the Dongyi people's movements to determine the next step.
However, when they arrived at the east bank of the Hongshui River, there were no traces of the Dongyi people there, only some garbage that was not worth taking away, and the remains of a large-scale camp.
Judging from the traces left by the Dongyi people, at least five large camps were stationed here not long ago.
Seeing this situation, Thorin led the cavalry and chased after the messy traces left by the Dongyi people. Then the group soon came to the place where the Dongyi people crossed the river. At this time, there was no one guarding the place, and only
A lonely wooden bridge and dozens of graves not far away.
Thorin originally wanted to lead his soldiers across the Red Water River and continue to chase them to see where these Dongyi people had gone, but Ironfoot Dain next to him opened his mouth to stop his cousin.
"Thorin, we can't continue chasing. After passing here, there is an endless plain. There are not many of us, and we can't outrun the fast human horses on the plain. As our king, you can't take this risk."
Thorin raised his head and glanced in the west direction. He did not speak. Instead, he drew out his weapon Orcrest and cut off the supporting pillars in front of him with several knives. The wooden bridge that had just been repaired by Baal was once again destroyed.
The rushing water of the Hongshui River swept away.
Then Solinle turned his mount in the direction, looked at Dyne behind him and said: "Then go back the same way, Dyne, when you reach a suitable position, you lead the people across the river and tell Fatis the situation here.
, I think the Dongyi people should have targeted humans first."
"I will." Dain nodded.
After saying that, the dwarves turned around and headed north along the east bank of the Red Water River. After running for a long time, a small group of dwarves separated again and crossed the Red Water River towards the west.
That was when Dain led a dozen dwarf cavalry through a hidden ford in the Red Water River. He was going to find Fatis.
In fact, Fatis, who had already spread several reconnaissance teams to the wasteland, had learned about the Dongyi people's movements very early, but these Dongyi people were not as worried as Allen and Thorin II.
, to attack the Iron Hills dwarves who were closer to them.
Instead, like locusts, they dispersed into countless teams and attacked the gathering points of humans living in the eastern region of Rovanian.
In just a few days, several small human gathering points with only a few hundred people were defeated one after another by the Dongyi army without any time to react.
Several large human gathering points with a large number of people and who had been notified by Herbert in advance followed their past habits and concentrated all their strength to defend the Iron Wall Town built near the walls of the Iron Hills.
The old, young, women and children were hiding in a camp in a hidden canyon.
It's just that this time the Dongyi people came in too many numbers. The Baltra soldiers had surrounded Tiebei Town, and under Ashur's order, they scattered a large number of cavalry squads on the wasteland.
, to search for those northern humans who are hiding.
Some northern humans who were lucky enough to escape the enemy's roundup when they broke through the stronghold began to flee towards Changhu Town, hoping that the woodland elves there could defeat the enemies behind them and seek a temporarily safe living environment.
However, the traces left behind by these people during their escape were quickly discovered by the Dongyi cavalry squad. For the invaders, these were the wealth that had already fallen into their pockets. Naturally, it was impossible for these northern humans who had lost their homes to escape.
.
Relying on the huge army behind them, they chased the fleeing northern humans unscrupulously on the plains. They used wooden sticks or ropes in their hands to drag the fleeing northern humans back to their own camps, starve them and beat them severely.
As a means, these people were raised as slaves.
As for Fatis, from the report of his reconnaissance team, he has learned the general battle situation in the wasteland. He is powerless against the siege of Iron Wall Town. Not to mention him, even Thorin and Allen's entire army are powerless.
.
But Fatis would not just watch the Dongyi people do evil. He took his two hundred cavalry and stopped the Dongyi people who were chasing the northern humans several times, and fought with these people who were unwilling to let go when they saw him.
The scum started a small-scale brutal fight.
Most of Allen's cavalry are from the nomadic kingdom of Kugit. It can be said that they have lived on horseback since childhood. A very few are well-trained and powerful Swadia knights. In terms of combat effectiveness, they are absolutely
Not weaker than the Dongyi people.
Not only that, Allen also provided the cavalry with sufficiently sophisticated equipment and sufficient horses, allowing them to fully demonstrate their combat effectiveness on the battlefield.
During the battle with the enemy, Fatis did not act recklessly. Instead, he took full advantage of the enemy's overt and covert advantages. He divided the two hundred cavalry into several squads and relied on the configuration of one man and two horses to prevent his men from doing anything.
Save your horse power and run quickly across the plains to block the direction in which these Dongyi cavalry may escape. After surrounding the enemy, launch an attack and annihilate them all.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Using this fighting method, Fatis led the cavalry and successfully annihilated these Dongyi cavalry squads with very few casualties.
, after all, when all directions are occupied by enemy figures, even the barbaric Dongyi people will find it difficult to make waves.
Due to the extreme lack of horses, the Dongyi people did not have many cavalry troops, and they carried out large-scale battles on the plains. They actually preferred to use chariots instead of cavalry.
After all, it was more convenient to ride horses to carry out investigation work and hunt down prisoners, so the Dongyi people sent nearly ten teams and hundreds of cavalry at that time. However, under Fatis's strategy of chasing, intercepting, and killing in batches, they originally lacked
The Dongyi people with their war horses lost them again.
After all the cavalry sent by the Dongyi people were killed by Fatis, the plains became quiet again. Ashur, who could not see his cavalry returning for a long time, knew that something was not right, and something must have appeared in this area.
Third-party forces disrupting the situation.
But he did not send more cavalry to investigate the situation in the wilderness. Since stationing on the east bank of the Red Water River, he has lost two hundred cavalry one after another. It is obvious that in the field of cavalry, Ashur
He also knew that he might not be able to defeat the third-party forces disrupting the situation in the wilderness.
But Ashur's advantage is also very obvious, that is, there are many tribes. As long as he ignores the harassment of the cavalry, the enemy has nothing to do with him. All he needs to do is to attack the town in front of him as soon as possible, and then establish a firm foothold to complete the Demon Lord.
tasks assigned to him.
Therefore, he ordered the few remaining cavalry to conduct reconnaissance not far from the camp to avoid being killed by enemies who did not know their origins. At the same time, they could also conduct reconnaissance around the camp to prevent him from becoming a complete
blind.
At the same time, he once again accelerated his attack on human strongholds, venting his anger on the northern humans hiding behind the city walls.
Sauron did not expect that the more than ten thousand Dongyi people led by Ashur could destroy the dwarves of the Lonely Mountain, the elves of the Black Forest, and the humans living in the Anduin Valley. The task he gave Ashur was simple.
Just wipe out the northern humans living in the east of the Black Forest and north of the River Run, and then settle there.
After thousands of years of contact, Sauron clearly knew that Thrando Yin, a otaku, could not take the initiative to expel the Dongyi people entrenched in Rovanion.
Sauron's calculation was very accurate. The woodland king who cared too much about the lives of his relatives would not let the elves come out of the dark forest when he was calm. The terrain there was not conducive to the fighting of the elves at all. He preferred to fight the enemy in the forest.
Or defend it in a strong fortress.
The dwarves had just recaptured the Lonely Mountain from Smaug. They did not have enough energy, strength, or even motivation to deal with the Dongyi people. Of course, the premise was that the Dongyi people did not actively provoke the dwarves.
This is also the real reason why Ashur did not attack the Iron Hills.
It's just that Sauron didn't take into account the friendship between Allen and Thorin. When the time is right, Ashur will inevitably face a joint attack by humans and dwarves.
In Sauron's exchange with Ashur, he told Ashur that the only enemies he needed to face were northern humans, or the few human soldiers under Allen, but their number of soldiers was simply not enough.
to pose any threat to the Baltra tribes.
So in Sauron's view, the task he gave to Ashur was a very easy task. In fact, it was indeed very easy. In just one month, Ashur led his tribe to join the people living in Luowa.
The humans in the north of Ni'an launched a decisive battle. As long as Tiebi Town was conquered, the Dongyi people would successfully seize control of this land.
By then, the Dongyi people entrenched in this area will not only be able to monitor the movements of the Lonely Mountain dwarves and Black Forest elves at any time, but will also be able to greatly restrict the development of humans in the north. Sauron, who has been hiding in Dol Guldur for thousands of years,
Naturally, we knew the potential of the Anduin Valley. It was impossible to develop a great kingdom like Gondor or Arnor in the narrow land there.
Originally, after Sauron attacked the Lonely Mountain, he put all his energy into rebuilding Barad-dur and the friction with Gondor. In his mind, there was only Gondor, the human kingdom, plus life.
In Lothlorien, the elves of Rivendell and Linton can be considered his opponents.
As for other rotten fish and shrimps, Sauron didn't care at all. Even if he lived in the Kingdom of Rohan in Kalenason, Sauron only took a slightly serious look at them.
But Azog's defeat in the battle on the Lonely Mountain was too embarrassing, while the forces of humans, dwarves and elves did not suffer much losses. In addition, Sauron's power in the Misty Mountains was greatly reduced.
, the forces of Dol Guldur were wiped out, and the Dark Lord, who returned to Mordor, had to take a serious look at these northern forces.
Sauron has never given up the idea of rebuilding the Witch Kingdom of Angmar, so when the time comes, the kingdoms led by Alan, Thorin and Thrando Yin will definitely become a stumbling block in his way, so Sauron only
They gave up the idea of sending the Nazgul to assassinate several leaders, and instead sent the Baltras to occupy the eastern region of Rovanion.
In fact, Allen, who is familiar with the plot, has vaguely guessed what he did, which may have caused Sauron to notice him and triggered a chain reaction of the Dongyi people attacking Rovanian, but he has no regrets.
Even if it were to happen again, Allen would still do his best to deal with that war and save his friends, as well as the elves and dwarves who might not have died.
Now, after Fatis eliminated the Dongyi cavalry squad, he led his cavalry to catch up with the hundreds of northern humans who had been rescued, escorted them all the way to Changhu Town, and handed them over to Zheng Zheng there.
Balin, the dwarf who organized the construction of the camp.
At Balin's suggestion, Thorin stationed an elite army of 300 dwarves on the shore of the Long Lake, and there were also many young dwarves to assist Balin in building a defensive camp.
The humans who originally stayed near Changhu Town to farm for a living also participated in this work under Allen's order, and Allen also asked Fatis to additionally take charge of the management of these townspeople.
It can be regarded as letting him show his face in front of these people first.
After all, after Changhu Town is rebuilt, these are the townspeople he will manage. Getting familiar with them now will also be beneficial to future work.
And these northern humans who fled can also get a job in the hands of Bahrain, and obtain supplies and food to survive. When the construction of Changhu Town begins, they can also get a place in the newly built town enough to survive.
, it can be regarded as temporarily settling down.
Allen, who was still waiting for the Dongyi people to attack on the dense forest road, soon obtained the preparation information of the Dongyi people from the messenger sent by Fatis.
Allen, who had been unable to wait for the Dongyi people, had already dispatched the cavalry in his hands. He even took the regrouped personal guards to conduct a reconnaissance near the Benliu River. However, the surrounding area was very quiet, and there was no trace of it at all.
There was no trace of the enemy, but instead they encountered several human teams with hundreds of people fleeing.
Allen got some news from these people. At the location of Red River Town, a tribe of Dongyi people had begun to live there. They directly occupied the town and sent slaves to continue living in the surrounding lands.
Farming, as if he has regarded it as his own territory.
The small gatherings living not far away from Honghe Town felt that sooner or later these Dongyi people would find out if they continued like this, so they also packed up their belongings, followed Malhebi and the others, and quietly came to Ai.
Here, I hope Allen can take them in.

This is naturally not a problem. Allen has already dispatched most of the soldiers to the location of the dense forest road. Various tasks in Wilderness Town are in urgent need of supplementary labor force. With Hank and his hundreds of people, as well as these fleeing northerners,
, just makes up for this.
As for Malherby and his tribe, they began to build a new town at the location designated by Allen. There were so many of them that the current Wilderness Town could not accommodate them.
Jamila, who has been guarding the wilderness, will naturally make arrangements for these things. The problem facing Allen is that he does not have enough troops to rescue the besieged Iron Wall Town, but he cannot just watch those people.
