Even next to a lake like Long Lake, Allen couldn't feel too much coolness because of the humidity and heat. He thought with sweat on his face that the sun in Middle-earth was Laurelin, one of the two sacred trees, before it disappeared.
It bears fruit, and then Maia pilots the sun ship to fly around Arda, and then brings warmth and light to the earth.
So since Arda is the center and does not revolve around the sun, then why are there temperature changes throughout the year? Could it be that Arion changes the distance between the spacecraft and the earth every once in a while, as shown in the figure
What? A requirement for a big movement?
As a dwarf with extremely high endurance to high temperatures, Balin has a natural expression. Of course, he does not have Allen's weird thoughts that suddenly appear due to the heat and humidity. This old man with white beard and hair is talking about the arrival of the Dongyi people.
"Three days ago, the first tribe of Dongyi people began to enter our investigation range. One day ago, they were stationed in Changhu Town. Judging from the number of people, they should be around 4,000. At that time, Qili suggested to the two of us,
We need to lead troops across the river to launch a surprise attack on these guys who are not on stable footing."
Having said this, the old man in Bahrain smiled and looked at each other, while Dain helplessly blew his white beard, shook his head and said:
"Again, I refuse such a proposal. The number of our soldiers is too small. There are only three hundred people. Most of the others are young men who have never been on the battlefield. Moreover, the enemy's second team arrived soon, and the number of soldiers is also small.
There are more than 3,000 people. If we had spent time to forcefully cross the river to attack them, we would have probably faced enemies with more than 7,000 people."
At this time, Qili, who was sitting aside and felt a little embarrassed, seemed to suddenly remember something. He stood up with a frown and said, "I got news from other brothers today. What we are facing may not be just what we are facing."
People, there is another team not far from here. Their number is larger, and their total number may exceed the two tribes stationed across the Changhu Lake. At this time, they are also rushing towards us. It is estimated that there are only
It’s a day’s journey.”
Allen, who was sitting aside, synthesized the existing information, endured the heat in the room, and said to the three dwarf friends in front of him: "Gentlemen, according to the information I have received, this time is destined to be a difficult battle. We
The enemy is an entire tribe of Dongyi people. They are composed of five tribes. The leader is called Ashur. There should be nearly ten thousand Dongyi people in his tribe. The remaining four are Baal, Khurda,
Amish, and a dead Akkad."
As he spoke, Allen took a sip of the warm ale in front of him to relieve the thirst caused by talking. Then, under the gaze of the three dwarves, he took out a wooden barrel specially designed to hold maps from his arms.
, took out Rovanian's map and spread it out on the table.
Then, Allen pointed to the location of Long Lake Town and said: "Now, the Ashur, Kurda, and Amish tribes have been stationed near Long Lake. According to the news I received before, their number should be
There are about 15,000 people, but after occupying this area."
Allen's hand rowed from Long Lake to Redwater River.
"Their number has obviously increased. It should now reach about 17,000 to 18,000 people. But we don't have to worry. The increase should be northerners' prisoners, and I have seen them with my own eyes before.
In a battle involving the Northerners, the loss would be at least a thousand people."
Allen said and licked his chapped lips and continued: "According to my observation, every time they move, they move with everyone in the tribe, including the slaves and soldiers' family records, and all the warriors they can bring out.
There are not more than 10,000 people, probably between 7,000 and 8,000 people, and the number of enemies we actually have to guard against is around 6,000 people."
[By the way, the best app for reading and listening to books is currently Yeguo Reading, install the latest version on yeguoyuedu.]
In fact, through a period of observation, Allen knew that most of the male members of the Dongyi people, except for very young children, would go to the battlefield. Ashur, Kurda, and Amish were the three.
The young and middle-aged men of this tribe, plus the slaves who are willing to fight for them, can form an army of 8,000 people. Moreover, they suffered many casualties in the battle in Iron Wall Town, so they are now probably in their early 7,000s.
More than 4,000 of them are supposed to be under the control of Ashur, and more than 2,000 are under the control of Kurda and the Amish.
Moreover, from Allen's understanding, young women from some tribes of the Dongyi people also receive military training. They often stay in camps with the old and young to protect their homes from enemy attacks, so Allen
When calculating the strength of the Dongyi people, they were also included, so Allen's estimated strength was 8,000.
After all, with them guarding the camp, the male soldiers of the Dongyi people can fight abroad with peace of mind.
After talking about the situation on the Changhu side, Allen pointed his finger at the location of Honghe Town and continued: "There are also two Dongyi tribes here at this location. According to the information I got,
, the number should be around five thousand, and they have regarded this place as their own land."
As he spoke, Allen moved his finger to Heidelberg again.
"At this time, my people are always on guard against their attacks here. I'm sorry, I can't bring too many soldiers here to support you. I can only try my best to provide some information. So everyone, the above is what I am currently doing.
I know all the information related to the Dongyi people."
Qili, Balin and Dyne looked at the map and fell into silence, and then the three of them started discussing.
It was unacceptable for the three dwarves to be blocked by such a large number of Dongyi people at the door of their house. The young and impulsive Qili proposed to attack the Dongyi people when they first settled down, but was finally stopped by Dain.
Down, it is indeed very dangerous. The Durin dwarves who have experienced the Battle of Five Armies are no longer able to withstand too many casualties.
Moreover, in Long Lake, the strength of the Woodland Kingdom is the strongest. At this time, there are at least two thousand elven warriors hidden in the forest. If they can be persuaded to send them out to fight together, then it will definitely be possible.
Take advantage of this day to defeat the enemies in front of you first, but the dwarves have no face at all in front of the elves, and Alan has to talk about this matter.
The first person to make this suggestion to Allen was Mr. Balin. He didn't ask Allen to talk for nothing. He promised that as long as the elves are willing to go to war, the dwarves can serve as the vanguard and stand at the forefront of the enemy. The elves only need to wait for the opportunity to join.
Just the battlefield.
Bahrain made such a promise, and of course he also had his own plans. Now Allen's human soldiers need to defend the Dongyi people in Red River Town. It is impossible to leave. There are less than two hundred cavalry here in Changhu, and the dwarves are full of weapons.
Of the 800 infantrymen gathered together, only 300 of them were real soldiers, and the rest were rookies who had never been on the battlefield.
When these soldiers face two to three thousand Dongyi troops, it doesn't mean that they can't fight. After the fight, no matter whether they win or lose, there will definitely be very few people left. After all, the fighting power of the Dongyi people is much stronger than that of the orcs in the Misty Mountains.
too much.
If Allen can persuade the elves to also participate in the battle, then the strength of the troops will be three thousand versus three thousand, and the combat effectiveness of the three thousand people on his side is much stronger than that of the Dongyi people. With the support of the elves, they can defeat the Dongyi people.
, the dwarves will not suffer too many casualties.
In fact, Balin has long wanted to contact Governor Thrand, but the relationship between dwarves and elves...
Anyway, Balin felt that none of the dwarves present could speak well in front of Thrandu Yin. Even if he could speak, he would probably choke in less than three sentences.
Now that Allen is here, it is necessary for Allen, a friend of the elves, to negotiate with Thrandu Yin. Then during the negotiation, the dwarves will naturally need to make some sacrifices, so after Balin communicated with Dyne, he made the decision
A commitment that can serve as a pioneer.
After hearing Bahrain's proposal, Allen was stunned for a moment. Allen, the weakest among the three forces, had never considered the idea of initiating an attack at this time. What he always thought was that anyway, he had
With the help of the simulator, after ten or eight years, his strength will soon surpass Ashur. When the time comes, he will contact the dwarves to counterattack, and he will definitely defeat the enemy with overwhelming force.
As for the elves, Allen has never thought of persuading Governor Thrand. The chance of success is not high. Moreover, according to Allen's estimation, the combat effectiveness of both sides at this time is actually about the same. If they take the initiative to attack, even if they can win, then
Neither Thrandu Yin, Thorin nor himself could bear the loss.
There is really no need to pay such a heavy price for a temporary win or loss.
But at this time, he felt that Balin's proposal might be the best choice at the moment. About a thousand dwarf heavy infantry, combined with a large number of elven archers, plus the cooperation of his 160 cavalry, would defeat the enemy.
When it is not fully gathered, it is possible to achieve a brilliant victory.
And for some reason, Ashur did not rush to Changhu Town at the same time as his two warlords, but they were separated by less than a day. Wasn't he worried that his troops would be separated after they were separated?
Defeat each one?
Ashur, who was torturing the prisoners in Iron Wall Town at this time, was really not worried about this kind of thing. According to the information he received, the relationship between elves and dwarves was very poor. It was unknown whether they could barely stand together for defense, let alone
Said they united to attack his troops.
Moreover, Ashur had his own ideas when he asked Kurda and Amish to set off for the day first. He did not believe that the only people in Ironbill Town were these young adults, and their families must be hidden in a place that he had not yet found.
Ashur is bound to get these slaves. As the power of his several warlords grows, his strength must also increase more and faster, otherwise he himself will be easily united by several warlords.
Overthrowing the rule is not uncommon in Rune.
The weak eat the strong, and the fittest survive.
However, now that his cavalry unit is suppressed by an unknown third-party force, it is difficult to conduct a large-scale search in the wasteland. Ashur, who wants to obtain a large number of slaves, can only spend time prying open the mouths of those prisoners.
Already.
At the same time, by letting Kurda and Amish go first, they can also transfer to receive those slaves as soon as they get the news. Then Ashur, who arrived in advance at that time, has the absolute ownership of allocating slaves.
It is up to him to decide whether to give or not, and how much to give.
If Kurda and Amish get the news at the same time through spies in their own camp, then when the three families arrive together, Ashur will inevitably give away at least half of his slaves to his two warlords.
This is not the result Ashur wants to see.
However, in Ashur's eyes, it was equivalent to a slave in the palm of his hand, and most of them had been taken away by Allen.
Allen, who had made up his mind to attack the Kurda and Amish tribes at this time, immediately said goodbye to the three dwarves, left the barracks in Bahrain, and then rode to the forest with a few personal guards.
On the edge of the border, go find Governor Thrand, who is commanding the elves' defense.
Facing a large-scale enemy attack, the woodland king, who had already formed an alliance with the dwarves and humans, naturally could not stay in his home and watch his allies fight to death outside.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After receiving Allen's message, he was already organizing the army of the Woodland Kingdom and began to arrange defense work.
At this time, Thrandu Yin himself was stationed in the forest not far from Long Lake. Now, such an elf king has had very obvious changes in the senses of the dwarves. Except for the elf reconnaissance team sent, most of them
An army of elves gathered around him.
This arrangement can ensure that when the dwarves by the Long Lake are attacked, the elves can help them in time. It must be said that Thrandu Yin, the Sindar elf, is really very kind.
In addition to being surprised, Governor Thrand was very happy with Allen's arrival. In his mind, Allen should defend the enemy's attack at that important position on the dense forest road. After all, after passing that road,
This is Allen's base camp, where tens of thousands of humans live.
It's just that unlike Governor Thrand who values the lives of his relatives, although Allen is also very concerned about the lives and property safety of his people, he is more concerned about the outcome of the war, and since the elves and dwarves are cooperating together, Allen is actually worried.
That's why he put aside the matter of the dense forest road and ran to Changhu Lake.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that most of the enemy's army is in Long Lake. If Ashur is near the dense forest road at this time, Allen will definitely not leave there.
After the two sat down and exchanged a few words, Allen made a request to Thrandu Yin to take the initiative to attack the enemy. Thrandu Yin, who was holding ice-cold white wine, after hearing such a request, could not move.
Alan hesitated unexpectedly.
As Allen thought, Governor Thrand was not willing to let his people leave the Black Forest to join the battle. This was not the time to go to the Lonely Mountain to intimidate Thorin.
At that time, the expedition team led by Thorin only had a dozen people, and he led the three thousand troops of the Woodland Kingdom. There was no way he could lose. The extremely disparity in military strength would not even cause casualties to the elves.
At this time, on the opposite side of the long lake are the Dongyi people with as many as 6,000 people. Of course, the 2,000 elven troops gathered around Seran Duyin at this time can still defeat these Dongyi people, even
It can be said to be quite easy, but casualties are inevitable.
In the past, Governor Thrand Yin had seen with his own eyes the battles between the Dongyi, the northern humans, and the dwarves in the Anduin Valley. He had to admit that these dark humans who believed in Sauron had good fighting capabilities.
Allen could naturally see Thrando Yin's hesitation, but he had to do his best for this proposal.
"Your Majesty, according to the news we have received, there is another group of Dongyi people with a larger number who are heading towards Changhu. After they all arrive, they will inevitably attack us. If we can kill Kurda and Ami in advance,
If it is defeated, Ashur will most likely retreat with its own strength, and then this area will be safe. Now, there is not much time left for us, so please make a decision as soon as possible."
What Allen said, Thrandu Yin can also think of it. This is indeed the best time to launch an attack, and the dwarf also promised to charge on the front line of the battle, which made the Elf King feel happy.
stand up.
Under Allen's eager gaze, Governor Thrand finally nodded: "Okay, for the sake of our previous alliance and the friendship between you and me, I accept this proposal. The time of the attack is set at
In the early hours of tomorrow, go back and let the dwarves get ready."
After saying this, Serandu Yin thought for a while and said: "The other matters of crossing the river have been left to me."
