On this battlefield, those who suffered the same fate were Allen's heavy cavalry.
Although the war horse they dismounted was equipped with full armor, when it first came into contact with the enemy, the horse's physical strength was very good and the charging speed was fast enough.
With such high-speed movement, the heavy cavalry had a strong impact when charging. Not only did they knock away many wargs that rushed towards them, they also defended against many attacks from the wargs.
However, as the enemy continues to harass, the speed of the horses will inevitably slow down.
Moreover, the size of some wolf packs was very large. During the head-on collision, a large part of the heavy cavalry's conical formation did not break out of the siege of the wolves, but fell into the siege of the wolves.
The most important thing is that they lost speed during the siege, which was very fatal for the cavalry.
Of course, the bloodthirsty and violent Wargs would not miss such an opportunity and immediately surrounded them.
The unprotected limbs of the horse have become a weak point for the enemy to risk their lives to attack.
Facing endless wargs, when riders kill enemies on horseback, there are always situations where they cannot take care of their mounts.
At this time, some horses' legs will be bitten and clawed by evil wolves.
After being attacked, most of the horses' calves were in pain. They collapsed on the ground whining and could no longer stand up.
Soon, the heavily armored cavalry were forced to get off their horses and join up with their companions who also lost their mounts. They switched from the small conical formation of the cavalry to the small circular formation of the infantry.
At the same time, they also waved the swords and shields in their hands, and with roars of anger, they faced off and fought with the surrounding wargs.
For the dwarves, this situation was already very good. When they stopped charging, their speed had completely slowed down, allowing them to get off the horse relatively calmly.
Otherwise, the damage caused by falling at high speed would be enough to prevent them from getting up.
After all, humans are not as tough as dwarves.
The cavalry archers who followed closely behind them used their bows and arrows to fire wave after wave of covering shots at the surrounded heavy cavalry.
The sophisticated armor from the dwarves on the heavy cavalry was not afraid of bows and arrows at all, and the same was true for the horses slumped on the ground. They did not suffer any damage from the arrows.
The wargs surrounding them were not so lucky, and the arrow rain cleared all the enemies around them in an instant.
With the help of the cavalry archers, the heavy cavalry were temporarily out of danger, and several teams also saw the right opportunity and were able to gather together to fight.
But they were still surrounded by wolves, which didn't change anything.
The frequent shooting of the cavalry archers naturally attracted the attention of the wolves. Amidst the howling sounds, countless wolf shadows gave up surrounding the tin cans and instead rushed towards the cavalry archers.
Strengthened by evil magic, they approached the horse archers who were drawing their bows and shooting in an instant, and pounced on them fiercely.
Whether they were the Dúnedain or the Sindar elites led by Lagorath, they all jumped off their horses, took out their melee weapons, and started a fierce fight with the wargs galloping over.
And on this entire battlefield, the only ones who can still face the wolves with ease are the elven cavalry led by Chierdan.
The formation of more than three thousand elves was extremely loose and thin, with only about three rows.
When they accelerated to set off, there was no saying that melee combat was in front and long-range combat was behind. They just rushed out in a loose manner, and the formation they fought was at least several kilometers away.
And Chierdan led a small team behind the tribesmen, moving forward slowly.
As the elves continue to move forward, the battle is about to break out.
When dozens of black wolves of various sizes quickly approached the several-kilometer-long elf formation, they were first hit by a wave of arrows.
Those elves who drew their bows and shot didn't seem to care at all whether the arrows missed and might hurt their own people.
They just filled up the compound bows in their hands. After taking a casual look, they released their fingers and shot a large number of arrows in a short period of time.
And those densely packed arrows seemed to have their own consciousness, avoiding the elves in front of them.
Then it fell into the wolves like rain, but this "rain" was fatal. It washed away only half of the dozens of wolves at the front.
At this time, the elven cavalry armed with long-handled weapons had already reached the front of the team.
One of their hands was caressing their partner on the crotch, controlling the speed of the horse, while the long-handled weapon in the other hand was accurately slashing at the body of the wolf in front of them.
Moreover, their attacks were extremely smooth, as if they were performing. After the first attack, the second attack came smoothly, relying on the remaining power of the previous attack, and quickly fell on the enemy again.
The mounts under the elves' crotches had no regard for the wargs in front of them, because most of their ancestors came from the Land of the Undying, and were horses brought back from Valinor by the Noldor.
They are brave and intelligent, and the elves riding on their backs do not need to worry about whether their partners are afraid of wolves, they only need to attack as much as they want.
But as the elves continued to move forward, more and more wolves began to attack their formation, and the battle officially entered a white-hot stage.
However, the elves still cope with it with ease.
Group after group of wargs rushed into the elves' formation and were immediately melted, just like the black snow facing the scorching sun, quickly turning into a gray-black stagnant water.
Of course, even if the elves are extremely powerful in combat and the horses are brave and resourceful, casualties will still occur.
Because the wargs they faced were not only extremely fast, but also fearless of death.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The death of their companions around them cannot make them feel the slightest fear at all. They just stare at the blood-red eyes and keep pounced on the prey in front of them.
Faced with this situation, there will always be elves who are targeted by many wargs, unable to withstand the enemy's continuous attacks, and are thrown off their horses by the wargs, thus breaking away from the large army and falling into a lonely battle.
But compared to the wargs they killed, the number of elves who encountered this situation was very small, and it would not affect the rhythm of the entire battle.
The armor of these elves is also very sophisticated. Under the siege of wargs in a short period of time, they cannot threaten their lives at all, but this may not be the case after a long time.
Because of the delay caused by the fearless wolves, the speed of the cavalry charge inevitably slowed down.
The only ones who completely broke out of the siege of the wargs were the knight apprentices led by Aragon and the extremely large number of spare war horses carrying supplies.
When all the wolves were attracted by their comrades, they rushed out in a thrilling way along the bank of the Anduin River.
And under Allen's order, they had already run into the distance and were not allowed to turn back to participate in this battle.
As for the other warriors, they were basically fighting with the wolves, and Allen's reassembled heavy cavalry and a small group of dwarf cavalry led by Fili rushed into the wolves again.
This time there was no choice to break out of the siege, all there was was the determination to massacre the enemy.
Allen has full confidence in this, it is just a matter of time.
However, time was not on his side.
At this time, the afterglow of the setting sun became weaker and weaker, and the dark clouds covering the sky behind him gradually approached the entire battlefield at this moment.
The tens of thousands of orcs under the dark clouds had seen from a distance the battlefield where humans, dwarves, elves, and wargs were fighting together.
The originally weird and evil dark clouds seemed to be getting darker now, and the marching speed of the orc army suddenly accelerated again.
The blind warlock, one of the Nine Ring Spirits, used his few dark magics.
Chirdan, who was always paying attention to his surroundings, had already discovered the traces of the enemy behind him.
And he who proposed this plan naturally couldn't let his tribe and comrades fall into a situation where they were attacked from both sides.
He knew that some changes needed to be made at this time.
As Cirdan continued to issue orders through his voice, the elven cavalry ran faster.
Moreover, he also changed his previous attitude of passive waiting and began to actively surround the wolves running in front of him.
This behavior made most of the wolves even more excited. Only the alpha wolves, who could barely keep calm, noticed something different, but were quickly suppressed by their bloodthirsty desire.
The elves, on the other hand, are moving quickly, greatly increasing their killing area, and solving the enemies in front of them as quickly as possible.
The elves who were using bows and arrows behind them turned their horses and rushed towards the humans and dwarves.
The order they received at this moment was to rescue their allies under siege.
In fact, Cirdan had already thought of this scene of humans and dwarves being surrounded.
In his planned plan, the biggest role of these two troops was to help the elves share some of the pressure.
Even though he was full of confidence in his own people, Cirdan did not think that more than 10,000 wargs could be quickly eliminated with just more than 3,000 elven cavalry.
Moreover, it is necessary to kill the enemy quickly without taking too many casualties.
Because after these elven cavalry have eliminated the enemies in front of them, they still have to contend with tens of thousands of orcs.
Humans and dwarves cannot help in this regard. Their ability to continue fighting is far inferior to that of elves. After this battle, they will most likely recover.
Yes, Cirdan's plan was never to break out. Instead, after killing the wargs, the elves would take the lead in attacking, entangled the orcs behind them, and bought the dwarves and humans time to recover.
After waiting for the allies to recover, they can then use the powerful mobility of the cavalry to kill the orcs behind them on the brown ground.
Without the entanglement of wargs, he believed that his thousands of cavalry could do this.
And the task of attracting attention is actually very suitable for humans and dwarves.
Because the armor on their bodies was carefully crafted by dwarves, they were almost armed to the teeth.
Even horses and goats are equipped with heavy armor, which is perfect for facing enemies like wargs who are fast and flexible but have no armor-breaking ability.
Even if it is used as a bait, the casualties after the battle are not likely to be too great.
However, plans can never keep up with changes. Cirdan did not expect that humans and dwarves could actually attract more than half of the wargs when they charged.
Because the formation deployed by the elves was several times wider than that of humans and dwarves combined, and the elves were riding unarmored meat horses.
Chierdan never expected that the leader of the wolf pack would not kill the fleshy horse, but instead rushed towards a group of iron lumps.
This was inconsistent with his understanding of this creature.
And all this is of course because Sauron's magic, bloodlust and mania caused the wargs to lose most of their thinking ability.
Although the alpha wolves can barely stay awake, their former cunningness is gone.
But this situation is not entirely bad.
Since they face fewer enemies, the elves kill them more calmly and quickly.
But on the contrary, most of the dwarves and humans were surrounded, and their mounts were seriously damaged.
This situation made Childan a little intolerable, but he still did not change his plan.
When the war machine moves forward without hesitation, it is best not to change its direction, otherwise you may face failure and death.
There were many things that surprised Cirdan in this battle, except for the abnormality of the wolves, which was that the orcs, protected by the dark clouds, could actually speed up their advance again.
The effect of the evil magic carefully prepared by Sauron was indeed beyond his imagination.
The enemies of elves seem to have more tricks than before.
Another point is the combat effectiveness displayed by humans, which really surprised Chierdan.
Especially the personal guards who followed Allen closely and were armed to the teeth. Their combat effectiveness even reminded him of the Númenóreans at their peak.
Those swordsmen who hold extremely long swords and whose whole bodies are covered in steel, while wearing heavy armor, can actually kill enemies among wolves very quickly.
In Cirdan's view, the physical fitness and combat skills of these ten men have surpassed most of the elite soldiers in Middle-earth. Even the Royal Guards of Gondor are not so powerful.
Of course, the lightning that would burst out from time to time in Allen's hand also attracted Cirdan's attention, but in his impression, the Númenóreans had a lot of magic items from Valinor.
He once saw the "Star of Elendil" that could deter orcs, and its light was like a burning meteor.
And he himself kept a Palandir crystal, so he didn't speculate too much about the lightning in Allen's hand at this time.
A strong ally is always a good thing for you.
And too much suspicion will only make the originally harmonious relationship become jealous and wary.
This will only consume the power to fight the darkness without any benefit.
The wise Childan would not make such a stupid mistake.
