Chapter 121: Prepare to fight

Ashur, who had already felt that he would suffer heavy losses, led an army of up to 10,000 people at this time, and almost all his family members were mobilized. Moreover, at this moment, he had already been among the tribesmen who had fled from the north.

Learned about the existence of the Lonely Mountain Dwarves.

After receiving the news, Ashur thought that he had figured out the reason why humans dared to attack him, which made him very angry.

And this anger not only came from his losses in the past two months, but also partly from the current situation. After calming down, he was a little annoyed at his impulse.

Ashur, who was marching, had already begun to worry in his heart whether the Elf troops of the Woodland Kingdom would uncharacteristically join the war to attack him. If humans, dwarves, and elves all came out, then the troops would be seriously damaged at this time.

I am probably already at a disadvantage in this war.

When Ashur was young, he never risked his life for the sake of superiority, but now that he has been the leader for decades, he does not want to fight an uncertain battle.

However, Ashur knew that he could not retreat easily. Under such humiliation, if he did not even see the enemy's face, he led the soldiers back to his home base in disgrace, then the image he had always maintained would be

It will collapse in an instant, and the prestige that has been worked so hard for so many years will be lost in a short period of time.

Yes, Ashur, who rules the tribe with a cruel, strong and fearless image, knows that he must not show his weak side, otherwise he will not be able to suppress the captains of all sizes under his command, as well as those who defect to him.

Soon the tribal leaders.

So at this time, the incompetent and furious Ashur could only lead his soldiers to go on, starting from the chariot capital and heading east. The huge team followed the destroyed camp all the way, chasing Allen

behind the butt.

Now Ashur desperately hopes that it will start to snow in the sky, so that he can have a suitable reason to stop this pursuit with unknown results. At the very least, he must be given time to update the enemy's intelligence before making the next step.

action.

However, the sky has been gloomy for several days, but it is not snowing.

During this process, groups of Dongyi cavalry who went out for reconnaissance slowly returned to Ashur, bringing bad news one after another, that is, his affiliated tribes in eastern Rovanian have been destroyed.

Nine out of ten were destroyed, and only one of his men in the far west survived.

And this tribe has begun to spontaneously organize an army, preparing to follow Ashur to avenge the enemy on the other side of the Black Forest, and get a little loot along the way.

At this time, Ashur finally had a reason to stop his pursuit and wait for orders from friendly forces to let the soldiers start resting where they were.

In fact, marching on this plain, running from the capital of chariots to Heidelberg does not take much time at all. Even a large army movement does not take half a month. Ashur, who has been chasing all the way, knows that he is already far away from the enemy's troops.

We are very close, and a battle with the enemy may break out at any time along the way.

In desperation, Ashur thought of an old method he had used before.

That is, if you really catch up with the enemy who is "escaping" in front, then let the three small tribes following you test the enemy's combat effectiveness first. If the enemies are only humans and dwarves, then the advantage will still be there.

For him, this battle will still be fought, and Ashur will lead all the troops to press forward.

But if elves really appear on the opposite side, then Ashur won't have to worry about why he retreated. Many of his men had looted near the rushing river and had eaten a lot of elves near the black forest.

deficit.

At that time, even if Ashur gives the order to retreat, none of the captains will think that he is cowardly, but will only think that the leader has made a wise decision.

After he leads his tribe back to the camp, he can completely rely on the defensive measures there to resist the enemy's attack, and in such weather, those guys on the opposite side cannot besiege him for too long.

Moreover, Ashur also thought that if the enemy really chased after him and killed him, he would send an envoy to Mordor to ask for the support of the Lord Demon Lord. Although such an action would be very embarrassing, Ashur still thought that,

My clan and property are more important, since my younger brother can't get much specific information anyway.

If everything goes well by then, he will not only be able to ensure his own safety, but also have the possibility to develop again after driving back the enemy.

"Next time, we must keep the tribes who defected to us closer."

Thinking of this, Ashur glanced at the two respectful warlords beside him with a dull expression, feeling no guilt in his heart for scheming against his subordinates.

At the same time, Ashur also thought of Baal, who had occupied Red River Town but was unable to send troops. He could not help but feel resentful in his heart, but he did not show it at all while sitting on the chariot.

The two Dongyi warlords who received the invitation and rode on the Ashur chariot, although their faces were full of respect, were full of suspicion in their hearts.

They couldn't figure it out. The commander who was still full of anger a few days ago had been walking slower and slower for some reason in the past two days. Now he actually stopped to wait for the reinforcements of a mere thousand people.

But they have already heard of Ashur's terrifying reputation, and since they came to Rovanian, their lives have been quite good, so at this time they dare not ask, nor do they want to ask, so they can only obey the commander.

Act on orders.

Just when these three people were thinking about their own thoughts, a gray bird suddenly appeared in the eastern sky in the cold wind. After discovering their team, it suddenly glided and flew back to the east.

At this time, Ashur may have sensed something looking at him, so he raised his head and observed, and happened to see the gliding bird. Soon it flew farther and farther, and in Ashur's

There was only a black dot left in his sight.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! This made Ashur feel a little doubt in his heart. In such a cold weather, birds should fly to the south in groups, or find a

How could I spend the winter in a warm place and fly westward alone in such weather?

This is the wilderness in the cold winter. Even ferocious birds like vultures will come out to look for food when the weather clears, let alone such small birds?

For a moment, the Dongyi commander's eyes became solemn, and at the same time he took a breath of cold air. He turned to the guard captain beside him and asked: "Mader, have the cavalry sent to the east come back?"

Madd was stunned for a moment when he heard the question, and then thought about it carefully. Then he felt a thump in his heart, knowing that something was wrong, but he still replied: "Sir, they have only been out for two days, so they should

There’s no chance to discover anything yet, right? Maybe they should come back after waiting for a day.”

He could not speak directly about the problem. If what he said was not in line with Ashur's wishes, he would probably face the punishment of being whipped.

Ashur shook his head when he heard this, because he remembered that a few years ago, the cavalry he sent out also never returned, and died in the hands of the enemy's more powerful cavalry in this wilderness.

The scene at this time is so similar.

Ashur became more wary, always feeling that the suddenly turning bird was coming towards him, which meant that the enemy was already waiting for him nearby. However, he still maintained a calm expression, but his movements became faster.

Some.

Ashur, who already had a suspicion in his mind, turned to Tad who was sitting on another chariot and said quickly: "Let everyone gather and prepare for battle according to the defensive formation, quickly, immediately."

As he spoke, he looked at the two warlords beside him.

"And you two, gather your men together and help Tad deploy his defenses, quickly, quickly."

Ashur stood up as he spoke, and began to look into the distance on the chariot. However, the surrounding area was an endless plain, with nothing but the undulating withered yellow grassland, and the gloomy weather also affected his vision.

A certain influence, so Ashur did not find any dangerous signs.

The calm surroundings made Ashur breath a sigh of relief. His people were resting just now and were completely unprepared for battle. If the enemy's cavalry suddenly came out at this time, he would inevitably suffer some losses.

"Mader, you personally lead five teams of cavalry and search eastward. Be careful to keep each team at a certain distance. When you find the enemy's traces as soon as possible, don't fight and run back for me. Do you understand?"

No matter what, Ashur still wanted to prove his guess. Although there were plains nearby and it was unlikely that the enemy would ambush him, he couldn't take the risk.

It is true that most of Rovanian's terrain is plain, but that does not mean that it is all 180-degree flat ground. It does have hillsides and ravines.

On a short slope in the distance, Thorin II was lying on the ground and looking at the Dongyi people in the distance with the telescope in his hand. He handed the telescope to Allen beside him, and then

He said with a proud face: "Alan, let's take a look. I think the enemy has been prepared. It's obvious that your plan has failed. You should listen to me next. Let us take all the cavalry and kill them.

The infantry is following behind to clean up the mess and defeat the enemy in one fell swoop. Listen to me, there is still time now. If it is later, it will probably be too late."

Since retaking the Lonely Mountain, Thorin's character has changed greatly in a short period of time. The gloomy and sensitive prince before has gradually turned into a bright and open-minded king. Of course, the stubbornness has not changed. This moment is still there.

Sticking to his plan of directly showing off his face, he has the brave and fighting style of a dwarf.

At this moment, Allen was listening to Kress's report. After casually taking the telescope, Allen also looked at the gathering Dongyi people and knew that Thorin was right. The enemy was already prepared, but

For a moment, Allen couldn't think of where he had made a mistake.

At this time, Allen also believed that the only option left was a head-on decisive battle, but he still wanted to seek the opinions of his elven allies.

"Lindil, what do you think of this plan of rushing over directly?"

Lindir, who was standing at the foot of the hillside with an elegant manner, looked at the two people lying on the hillside and didn't know what to say. One was the King of the Lonely Mountain who ruled all the Durin dwarves, and the other was a newly rising human upstart. That's it.

Lying on the ground and peeping at the enemy.

This behavior makes this Noldor elf not know what to say, even if you stand still.

"Continuing to look for opportunities to ambush the enemy can certainly reduce our losses, but facing the enemy directly at this time will save us a lot of time. After all, Gondor is still waiting for our rescue."

After hearing this, Thorin looked at Allen proudly, as if to say, you see, the elves agree with my plan.

"But it is never wrong to cherish the lives of your own people. Is that time really more important than the lives of your people? You two adults can think about it carefully. As for what to do next, you two can decide.

, I will give my full assistance.”

Allen laughed silently, and after he stopped laughing, he said to Thorin: "I know you shouldn't ask elves for advice. They first tell you that going left is right, and then they say that going right is also right. In the end, you still have to go to the left.

If you want to make your own decision, then I'll listen to you, Thorin, we can just rush over, but the specific details need to be modified."

The time has gradually come to noon. Since the sun has been covered by thick clouds, the Dongyi people are not sure of the specific time at this time, but hunger will tell them that it is time to have lunch.

When the general army is marching, most of them rely on some hard dry food and clean water to satisfy their hunger. Only when they set up camp in the evening can they take a good rest and eat a hot meal, but the Dongyi people are a little different.

, they drove a large number of carriages to transport baggage while marching.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! During the break and cooking time, these carriages played a vital role. When the Dongyi people formed a circle with them connected end to end,

, not only can slow down the cold wind coming from all directions, but can even be used as a simple defense platform to withstand the enemy's impact in critical moments.

What these Dongyi people like most is that some carriages are specially used for cooking. They have stoves specially gifted by Lord Demon Lord. As long as the water source is dug in the nearby river, it can provide some simple hot soup.

, in such a cold weather, it is very good to have this, not to mention that their life has been much better, and some vegetables and meat have begun to appear in the soup.

At this time, the Dongyi people used this bowl of hot soup to soften the hard dry food. After eating it, it could completely dispel the coldness in the whole body. It was one of the few good things worth looking forward to during the march.

However, they were destined to not drink this bowl of soup so smoothly. At this time, groups of infantrymen with bright armor slowly gathered together from the ravine after going uphill, and appeared in front of the Dongyi people, and both sides

The distance is only a few thousand meters.

This assembled infantry set up a combat formation in a short period of time. With a relatively neat pace, they slowly approached the Dongyi people who were dining. As the distance between the two sides became closer and closer, they stopped to drink.

Ashur, who was moving forward, gradually saw the enemy's full picture clearly, and then he felt reassured.

Because he only saw humans and dwarves in the incoming team, and then some sporadic cavalry and several dwarf chariots, but no elves, then this battle could be fought.

And Ashur was also congratulating himself on his caution. The northerners and Durin dwarves who came out of the darkness obviously wanted to ambush him on the march. Fortunately, he stopped.

At this time, the distance between the two sides was also very far, and the exposed enemy gave him enough time to prepare. Thinking of this, Ashur shouted angrily at his subordinates who were looking at each other: "What are you doing standing there, Tang?"

Did you drink it to your head? Pick up your weapons, stand in formation, and prepare to fight."
