Since the beginning of the Second War, the battle between Gondor and Mordor has been in a stalemate.
This situation is due to the fact that Sauron's main purpose in launching the war in the first place was to restore himself.
This made the first war launched by the Demon Lord in a hurry, and he did not gather all the power to surrender to him.
Of course, Sauron at that time did not expect that the opponent would be so troublesome, and he blocked his army to the east of the Anduin River.
After all, he has been trying every means to bleed Gondor and Rohan for nearly two thousand years.
This is also due to the brave and fighting Gondor people and the heroic and courageous Rohirrim people.
After fighting hard, they repelled Mordor's first attack.
This gives Gondor more time to prepare before the second, more massive war comes.
Of course, the white-robed wizard living in Orsanc Tower not only did not hold back his own people this time, but also sacrificed a lot in this war.
To be honest, this was something that both Allen and Sauron did not expect.
I'm afraid no one could have imagined that a few decades later, the white-robed wizard would become the colorful-robed wizard, and he wanted to get his hands on the rights of Rohan, cutting off one of Gondor's most powerful arms during the war.
However, judging from the current situation, this matter will probably not happen again.
Allen's rapidly expanding strength may not leave much time for Saruman.
The current stalemate is already a pretty good result for Gondor.
Without the help of other forces, Gondor's demise would be a matter of time, but the help from Eriador and Rovanian has arrived at the critical moment.
When the war has developed to its current level, it is the time to turn from defense to offense.
At this time, there are three battlefields on the Anduin River, namely Kelandros, Osgiliath and Pelagir.
Caer Andros is now in the hands of the enemy. If you want to capture it, the price you need to pay is too high, and the risks you face are also extremely high.
It is too close to Mordor and Minas Morgul, and it is heavily defended, making it impossible to capture it in a short time.
Unless they had no choice, neither Allen nor Childan would make such an unwise decision.
Osgilias is an abandoned city. Arranging more soldiers in the xc area can only be used as a reserve army to increase the thickness of the defenders, but cannot give full play to our numerical advantage and cavalry advantage.
In fact, the Haradurs who attacked Osgiliath were experiencing this pain.
In order to plunder wealth, many southern barbarians came to Gondor from the south, and a large part of them were light cavalry equipped with horses.
However, such a large army was unable to break through Gondor's elite defense zone in the city of Osgiliath, and its offensive pace was frequently frustrated.
It can be said that both sides paid a bloody price in order to seize the urban area near the bridge.
But Gondor's army is much more elite than the Haradurs, such as the commandos armed with fir longbows who were once active in Yin Silion.
There are also the royal guards of the royal city who follow Ecthelion, these are the most powerful warriors in the Kingdom of Gondor.
With the help of these two elite troops, coupled with Saruman's magic power, the fear emanating from the Nazgûl can also be offset.
The strength of both sides is roughly similar.
The Gondor garrison that is now standing there has been resisting the Haradrians for nearly a month. It can be said that neither side can do anything to the other.
Even if Allen and Childan's troops join in, they will just mince meat with the enemy in the city. It will be difficult to break the situation in a short time and give the enemy a fatal blow.
As for Pelagir, it was a port city, and most of the enemies were on ships. And Gondor's fleet was at a disadvantage in size and was blocked near Pelagir, and there was no way it could carry the support at this time.
The coming army.
The elves can indeed walk on snow without leaving a trace, but they cannot walk on water without leaving a trace. On the sea, they still have to take a boat.
Allen, who had been thinking in his mind for a long time, slowly stood up and said with a serious face:
"Before making the final war plan, I need to make one thing clear. Judging from our encounters in brownfields, I guess the enemy has mastered some kind of capability, a way to check our movements at any time. I believe everyone here
All of you know what I’m talking about, the Palantir Crystal.”
Lord Turgon looked at Allen who was speaking in surprise, and nodded weakly. For him, this meeting was a bit too long.
"Indeed, what the enemy should have is the Yinsil Crystal. It was once placed in Minas Yinsil. When that place became a dark and evil place, the crystal fell into the hands of the enemy."
After hearing Turgon confirm his point of view, Allen continued: "Now we have no means to block the enemy's sight, so we must fight quickly."
"If we want to deal a heavy blow to the enemy's vitality in the midst of thunder, the only chance is in Osgiliath. It is not possible to attack directly from the
We raided the Haradhs stationed in Osgiliath and attacked the enemy from both sides. This was fast enough and absolutely unexpected, making it difficult for the enemy to react in time."
After Gandalf heard this, he put down the pipe in his hand and said seriously:
"This approach is too dangerous. The land of the moon is now completely shrouded in the darkness of the enemy. If the enemy discovers it, or the battle does not go smoothly, then the troops crossing the river are likely to be captured.
After the siege, it will be difficult to return to the west bank of the river, but I have no objection, and I will go with you."
Allen nodded and agreed with Gandalf's statement. From his heart, he didn't like this kind of risky behavior.
However, the situation was like this. If he had to hit the enemy quickly, given the current situation, he could not think of a better or more reliable plan, so he could only rely on this method.
"It is indeed dangerous, but if we succeed, we can directly cut off one of the enemy's arms, and at the same time open the way to Yin Xilien, changing the passive situation at this time, so let's use this method."
Turgon said with joy on his face:
"There are still some ships hidden in Harold Port. If you want to implement this plan, you can cross the river there, and the defenders of Osgiliath will definitely respond to your battle as soon as possible."
If power were in Turgon's hands, he would choose this method without hesitation.
Because his time was running out, the old man did not want to hand over the prime minister's scepter to his son in the midst of war.
"We also have many small boats in Osgiliath. Soldiers can use the boats to board the eastern city of Osgiliath and completely disrupt the enemy's sight. In short, Gondor will spare no effort to win."
Turgon emphasized his position firmly.
Childan looked at Allen with some surprise.
He felt that Allen was making rapid progress on the battlefield.
More than a month ago, when faced with enemy interception, this young human chose an extremely safe approach.
At this time, in order to break the situation, I have begun to think of those dangerous but extremely effective tricks.
The elf king who rules Linton still knows too little about Allen.
It's not that he can't come up with strange tricks, it's just that he subconsciously chooses a safer way.
"Since everyone has no objections to this plan, let's start preparations immediately. The enemy has already known about our arrival, and he will never be indifferent to it. If we are too slow, other changes will definitely occur."
Allen could imagine that Sauron, who had taken the initiative, would never let his side take the lead. His evil and cruel nature must be brewing some kind of terrorist plan.
The faster the better on my side.
"No, no, no, Alan, we still need to wait for news from the sea breeze. Believe me, it won't take long."
Allen looked at Chierdan with a smile on his face, and suddenly remembered that the elf elder opposite him was the owner of Gray Port and had the title of "Navigator".
How could he not have a number of ships under his command?
After waking up, Allen slowly sat down and said with a relieved look: "Indeed, we don't need to be in a hurry."
But what makes Allen a little confused is how Cirdan sent his orders back to Gray Harbor?
Soon, Cirdan explained with a smile why he had to wait, because before leaving the brown land, he had asked the Eagle King to bring his message back to Mithlond.
If there are no accidents, his fleet should be arriving at Gondor soon.
It was at this time that the bright moonlight illuminated the undulating sea.
And dozens of small sailboats, emitting pale white light, were cutting through the waves on the sea near Belfalas.
On each small boat, stood several Linton elves holding silver-white long bows. Their sharp eyes were staring ahead at this moment. Their bodies stood on the ups and downs of the ship, but they were as stable as if they were on the ground.
Following the small boat were five large and beautifully shaped sailing ships, whose silver-white sails inspired the sea breeze. A dozen elves were busy in Class A.
The large ballista placed beside the ship has also been cocked at this moment, and is controlled by the most experienced crew members. The large crossbow arrows with shiny tips are placed on the ballista, ready to be fired at any time.
At the top of the sailboat, a long silver-white flag is fluttering in the wind. If you look carefully, you will see a blue six-pointed star drawn on it.
This is the elven fleet that set off from Gray Harbor after receiving the information.
Although their numbers cannot be compared with the huge pirate fleet.
However, the speed and flexibility of the elves' meticulously crafted sailboats on the sea far exceeded those of the infamous Umbar pirates.
In fact, this elven fleet rode the wind all the way south and annihilated several small pirate fleets that intruded on the coast of Gondor.
Even now, there are still three dark pirate ships in front of them, fleeing in panic on the sea.
But this form of escape is ultimately useless.
As time passed, dozens of small sailing ships of the Elf Fleet, advancing at extremely high speeds, surrounded the three fleeing pirate ships.
The captains of the pirates, realizing that they had no hope of escaping, shouted loudly in strange languages to boost the morale of themselves and their surrounding subordinates.
After a brief period of confusion, a large number of crew members clutched the black bows in their hands and came to the edge of Class A, ready to attack the approaching elves.
However, the sharp eyes of the elves discovered the enemy's actions immediately, and the speed of the sailboat approaching the enemy also slowed down.
"Whoosh" "Whoosh" "Whoosh" "Whoosh"
Emerald green arrows missed one after another, shot out from the silver-white long bows of the elves, and attacked the pirates who were preparing to resist.
Most of the pirates couldn't even see the elves clearly in the moonlight, and they had become dead souls shot by arrows.
The pirate who controlled the ballista received even more attention, and dozens of arrows were fired towards his position.
Some tough and violent pirates were lucky enough to survive the first wave of arrows, and they still wanted to control the ballistae to fight back against the elves.
However, as soon as his hand touched the ballista, he was turned into a hedgehog by arrows flying from a distance.
Under this naked threat, no pirate dared to approach the ballista. The pirates were so frightened by fear that they even threw their bows and arrows on the deck.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! No matter how much their captain yelled, these pirates who survived had no intention of picking up their bows and arrows.
In just a short moment, more than half of their companions around them died, so why should they resist?
They can't even see clearly who the enemy is.
Seeing that the enemy had no intention of continuing to resist, the elves stopped shooting.
No matter which race the elves belong to, they do not have the habit of being bloodthirsty. As long as the enemy no longer resists, the elves are still very happy to spare the lives of humans.
Of course, when dealing with orcs, they don't have so much mercy.
Seeing that the enemy had stopped moving, and even the ship was no longer moving forward, some of the elven sailboats began to approach the pirate ship again.
The rest are floating in the distance, always on guard, and they must be prepared for the enemy on the ship to launch a counterattack.
Several sailboats were moving forward quickly to check whether there were any other enemies on the sea.
As the ships from both sides gradually approached, the light figures of the elves kept jumping onto the dark pirate ship.
The pirates on one of the ships suffered heavy losses in the previous arrow rain and completely gave up resistance.
As for the other two ships, when the elves boarded the ship, fierce chaos broke out.
However, the shouts caused by the battle only lasted for a very short time.
In such a small space, the elves' superb and agile fighting skills completely suppressed these pirates.
After all, they are just ordinary humans. Even if some of them have Númenorean blood, it is so thin that it can be completely ignored.
Failure is their only outcome.
At this time, the Elf Fleet had arrived near Belfalas Bay while pursuing the enemy.
Even in the distance, Benning is not peaceful tonight.
The sky near Pelagir was already glowing red with fire.
