Generally speaking, a night attack in a war does not mean quietly killing the enemy while the enemy is asleep in the middle of the night, but the attacker uses some means to kill most of the sleeping enemies.
Suddenly frightened, chaos arose. The attacking party took advantage of its preparedness, and used a more organized formation and more adequate weapons and armor to launch a one-sided massacre against the panicked enemy.
This tactic is not something you can use whenever you want. First of all, the soldiers attacking one side must be elite. First, they must be able to see at night. Otherwise, the troops that were originally gathered together will disperse before the war happens.
.
Second, they must be veterans who have experienced battles for a long time. They will not be affected by the surrounding chaos and can calmly and calmly kill those enemy troops who are not organized but are running around crazily.
And he can't leave the team.
Third, the intelligence must be sufficient and the basic situation of the enemy's camp needs to be understood.
The dwarves had all the above. When Allen returned to the dwarf camp from Thrandu Yin's camp, it was already close to evening.
After Balin and Dyne learned that the elves had agreed to their plan, they began to organize the dwarf warriors in the camp to prepare for battle. Because it was a surprise attack tactic, there was not much movement in the camp.
The dwarves always keep an eye on the Dongyi people's camp, so why don't the Dongyi people keep an eye on the dwarves' camp?
At this time, any abnormal movement in the dwarf camp is equivalent to telling the Dongyi people that I am going to attack you, so be prepared.
In order to avoid being informed of their plans by the Dongyi people in advance, Balin and Dain finally decided to bring only 300 of the most elite dwarf veterans, and each of them was given a black cloak to cover their potential dangers.
The plate armor glows brightly under the moonlight. After all, the dwarves are the weakest among the three races in terms of short-distance speed burst. Although their short legs make their lower body stable, it also prevents them from spreading their legs and moving quickly.
So for them, who cannot move quickly, concealment becomes extremely important.
Under the eyes of the young tribesmen, the dwarf veterans were silently making preparations for various wars. For them, this was just a small episode in their long lives.
For dwarves, age can definitely be used as a representative of combat effectiveness. Their physical fitness will almost reach its peak when they are forty years old, and then this peak period can last for two hundred years or more. This period of time is enough for them to use their
Combat skills have been refined to a master level.
It will not be until ten years before the death of the dwarves that their physical fitness will decline rapidly, and their appearance will also age rapidly, but they will not appear bald from the beginning to the end. Of course, the premise of this situation is that the dwarves are diligent in
Exercise instead of being obsessed with a good life and delicious food.
One of the more interesting examples is that two members of the expedition team are bald. One is Dwalin. His baldness and the war marks on his head are due to his own interests, not due to disease or physical fitness, because Dwalin
He lived to be 340 years old, which can be said to be a very long-lived dwarf in the Third Age. This may also have a lot to do with the fact that he is a member of the Durin royal family.
Because most dwarves attach great importance to their beards, but not so much to their hair, Dwalin's behavior is not particularly strange. If you are in a certain city in Middle-earth and see a person with thick hair,
But for an adult dwarf who is smooth and beardless, you have to pay attention. He is probably not a serious dwarf, for example, a guy who falls in love with an elf and can eventually capture the heart of a female elf.
However, there was another person in the expedition who was also bald, and that was Bombur, the fattest dwarf in the expedition. His clever hairstyle was not something he wanted, but was caused by being too fat. Of course, in the early days
The obesity does not affect the dwarves' actions. At this time, Bombur is quite flexible and reliable in battle.
However, in Allen's memory, Bombur gained a lot of wealth after the Battle of Gushan and lived an extremely luxurious and luxurious life at his home in Gushan. In 3018 of the Third Era, Bombur
Bob was so fat that he couldn't even walk on his own. At that time, he needed to be carried by six young dwarves with all their strength, so that he could barely move around his home.
It can be seen how terrible obesity is for dwarves. It can also be seen from this that although dwarves have good resistance to evil, their appreciation of beautiful things is not much different from other races.
Looking at the dwarf warriors who were silently preparing for battle, Allen also gathered his men together. At this time, the cavalry who followed Allen to the camp had rested for a whole afternoon because they were on their way.
The fatigue caused by it has been swept away.
As for Allen, since he started practicing "qi skills", physical fatigue has rarely appeared. The "qi skills" practiced by Allen even have a good recovery effect on his spirit.
But Hermione and the other Twilight Knights, with their strong physical abilities, would not care about this little bit of fatigue.
In his barracks, Allen informed the captains of his various cavalry squads of the plan and asked them to prepare for battle in advance.
Time was advancing minute by second as all parties made preparations. As soon as it got dark, Allen began to ask his men to leave the camp one by one. After all, even if the horses are more humane,
They may also make some big noises during their actions. One or two of them are fine, but if they are gathered together, they will inevitably not attract the enemy's attention.
These cavalry will march ten kilometers south along the edge of the forest, where there will be woodland elves who have been prepared to meet them. These cavalrymen of Allen are all from the Kugit people. Their previous living standards were very poor, and some
Many people suffer from night blindness, but since I followed Allen, their diet and other standards have suddenly improved to a certain level, and night blindness no longer exists.
Under the guidance of the moonlight, after they left the camp for a certain distance, they began to drive their horses toward the designated location. Allen was the first to leave the camp, and he had to make some preparations at the gathering point.
By the time Daine led three hundred dwarf warriors to the assembly point prepared by the woodland elves at midnight, Allen had already left with his men through the bridge prepared by the elves to reconnoiter Dongyi.
The human condition.
Thrandu Yin used the magical boat to prepare a very stable temporary bridge in the river in a very short time. If this bridge is no longer needed, he only needs to remove the wooden planks on the boat and then
Just row these flat-bottomed boats.
The ability to prepare so many ships so quickly also benefited from Allen's information. The elves, who were always ready for support, prepared quite a few ships.
At this time, through this bridge, the troops of dwarves and elves crossed the rushing river and began to set off towards the Dongyi people's camp. They would arrive in front of the Dongyi people's camp when the Great Star of Hope shines.
As Dongyi warlords, Hamish and Kulda, their little lives were going very well during this period. Most of the tasks assigned to them by Ashur recently were very easy and rewarding.
Although half of the slaves and trophies obtained need to be turned over according to Ashur's requirements, it is up to them to decide how much is half.
As long as it's not too outrageous, that's fine. Of course, the premise is that a share of the pie should be given to Ashur's messengers.
They are already familiar with this kind of thing. They also know why Ashur asked them to act one day in advance. Due to Ashur's strong strength, and in recent times, they have indeed gained a lot.
Because of the benefits, the two of them didn't argue too much. They walked on the mountain road together obediently and arrived at the east bank of Chang Lake, where they set up their respective camps.
The camp of the Dongyi people is actually very simple. Part of it is made up of the chariots they drive and the other part is made up of the wood they plundered. In addition, the slaves work day and night, and then the surrounding area is formed.
A huge circle, everyone lives in this circle, there is no quality of life at all, most of the slaves sleep close together, and even the soldiers don't have much space for activities.
The advantage of this kind of camp is that it can be set up very quickly. For the Dongyi people who are good at practice, they can set up the camp in a very short time. However, the disadvantages are also obvious. The protective effect of this kind of camp is relatively poor.
For a well-prepared enemy, it is very easy to break through.
It's just that the Dongyi people's camps often have a very large number of people, and their ferocity in picking up a knife and daring to attack the enemy is enough to make up for the lack of defense in the camp.
Usually, the warlord or leader's camp truck will be in the center of the camp. On the one hand, the center is the safest place, and on the other hand, it can also make it easier for them to assemble their troops.
Naturally, there are lower-level managers below the warlords, usually called captains or banner managers. Their number is not fixed. It all depends on the trust of the warlord or chief (that is, Ashur) in you.
For example, Akkad, one of the warlords, was one of Ashur's subordinates. Of course, no matter how much he was trusted and valued by Ashur before, he had already been killed by Grim at this time.
.
Being able to become warlords, Hamish and Kurda are naturally not rookies who have no knowledge of war. When they first established the camp, they built a very high arrow tower in their own camp, which was always a few meters away.
The wide long lake closely watched every move of the dwarf camp. At the same time, they also sent out their few cavalry to patrol along the river and around the camp. However, because the cavalry was too sparse, their patrol frequency and
Range is nothing to the cavalry led by Allen.
During the day, when Allen led more than a hundred cavalry into the dwarf camp, the two people were nervous for a while. They got together and chatted for a long time during dinner, but when they saw the enemy camp, there was nothing too big.
After the commotion, they let down their guard and instead got together to drink wine.
In fact, the relationship between the two of them is very good. If they have the opportunity, they will always get together to drink. However, in order to avoid arousing Ashur's jealousy, they will always taunt each other in front of their leader. Of course, this kind of
The method was not clever, and Ashur knew that the relationship between the two of them was not as bad as it appeared.
The two of them drank until midnight before returning to their respective campers to rest drunkenly. After all, it was not easy for them to travel long distances to get here. When Ashur arrives tomorrow, they will not be as convenient and free as they are now.
However, Kurda was more careful than Hamish. Before falling asleep, he ordered his soldiers to strengthen defense to avoid any problems in the camp at night. However, he was a little dizzy and forgot to let his soldiers
The soldier went to inform Hamish to do the same.
At this time, Allen and his cavalry had completely wiped out the reconnaissance cavalry on the periphery of the Dongyi people. Their number was too small and they were unable to fight against Allen, who was leading the Twilight Knights.
, their short exclamations before death did not have the effect of warning others in the camp.
Soon Allen led his men and approached the Dongyi camp.
Although Hamish and Kurda have a very good relationship, their camps are still arranged separately, one in the south and one in the north on the east bank of the long lake. However, they are very close to each other. The two gates are only a few meters apart.
Less than two kilometers away.
The first thing Allen faced was Kurda's camp. At this time, these Dongyi people, according to the leader's orders, the walls of the camp were patrolled by soldiers holding torches. Once the dwarves and elves approached, the enemy should be very strong.
You will be able to react and organize yourself to deal with the dwarf attack.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! And the horse archers under Allen's command were unable to clear out all the Dongyi people on the wall in a short time. Allen felt that the camp in front of him could not achieve the best raid.
As a result, he decisively led his cavalry around the camp in front of him and headed to the Hamish camp further north.
The defense of this camp was much sparse. After clearing away the surrounding patrol cavalry, Allen arranged for Hermione to keep a close eye on the surroundings, while he followed the original path and found Dine who was leading the troops.
and Thrandu Yin.
After explaining the enemy's situation, Dain also agreed to use Hamish's camp as a breakthrough point. Three hundred elite dwarf warriors, with the support of elves, were enough to deal with the panicked Dongyi people.
Therand Governor Yin said that his soldiers will hide in the dark and keep an eye on the situation in another camp. If the enemy provides support, then the thousand elven warriors led by Seland Governor Yin will launch an attack on the enemy.
A fatal sneak attack.

If there is no movement in another enemy camp, Thrandu Yin will also lead his soldiers to join the attack on Hamish's camp.
After the first camp was breached, both sides worked together to defeat the other camp.
Although Dyne was a little dissatisfied with this result, but considering that he had promised before that the dwarves would charge at the forefront of the attack, and since this was a surprise attack, the dwarves' 300 warriors were enough to handle such a battle, he nodded.
agreed.
After the dwarf army slowly approached the enemy's camp without the enemy noticing, Thrandu Yin's army had disappeared into the night. Allen didn't know what method Thrandu Yin used to make a surprise attack.
When he was near Hamish's camp, he couldn't take care of so much.
"let's start"
Following Allen's order, Hermione and the Twilight Knights, who had dispersed and were running around the entire camp, opened their Noldor sigil bows and shot the soldiers patrolling around the camp.
At the same time, following behind them were cavalrymen holding fire oil cans in their hands. On their galloping horses, they threw the fire oil cans into the camp along the edge of the camp, or threw them into the walls that formed the camp wall.
Chariots and wooden walls, and finally cavalrymen holding torches, set these places stained with kerosene on fire.
With their more accurate throwing skills, they were assigned this task by Allen.
Such movement naturally aroused the reaction of the Dongyi people in the camp, not to mention the fire that shot up to the sky. Soon the Dongyi people's camp was in chaos as expected, and at this time it was close to the Hamish camp.
The dwarves at the gate formed a military formation that they were proud of based on the current situation.
"Boom"
With a loud sound, the wooden gate of Hamish's own camp was blown to pieces by Bahrain's increased dose of flash bombs.
"The Sons of Durin"
Dain roared and led the dwarves behind him to rush in.
The cry of killing soon resounded throughout this once peaceful night.
