Sauron's gesture of leading his army to escape was so panicked, so real, and not artificial at all.
His master, the Dark Lord who was currently using Palantir to keep an eye on the battlefield, wanted this effect.
The game after the Battle of Gushan made Sauron no longer dare to underestimate Allen, who was leading his army at this time.
Ashur, who fled in defeat, and Angmar, who fled back to his master in panic, all showed that this human being who suddenly established a country in the north was an extremely powerful enemy.
At this time, Sauron finally realized that he should not focus all his attention on humans on Rohan and the Kingdom of Gondor.
It's time to pay attention to this young human being who is not very strong but jumps up and down.
Therefore, Sauron laid out this series of strategies that he thought were quite clever at Emin Arnen.
First, use the Mouth of Sauron to lead an army sufficient to complete the ambush, and wait here for the elite troops led by Allen.
If it succeeds, it is naturally good. If it fails and encounters a slightly critical situation, then his adjutant Zoro Zhikou will definitely choose to escape as soon as possible.
Zoro calculated this, and he also knew that the crossroads very close to Emin Arneng were surrounded by large forests and hillsides.
There, Sauron ambushed two more powerful troops, waiting for Allen to lead his troops to catch up.
The Dark Lord's strategy is vicious and meticulous. No matter whether Allen sees through it or not, someone has entered his trap.
The impatient elf prince didn't see anything wrong at this time.
Moreover, the Silvan elves living in the Black Forest have a hatred for orcs that can be traced back thousands of years.
In their view, the fewer orcs living in this world must be as few as possible.
Seeing that most of the defeated enemy troops were about to flee towards the north, Laigolas, who led a group of elven warriors, led his army in pursuit without thinking.
Because this place is very close to Osgiliath, if the Haradhs there notice it, it will be difficult to kill the dirty enemy in front of them.
But soon, they were intercepted by Allen who came on horseback.
In Allen's opinion, there was something wrong with this battle.
Although there was no movement in the north direction except for the fleeing enemies.
And Sauron's mouth's escaping gesture didn't look like a sheep in rout, but Allen just felt that something was not right.
Because this ambush was too clumsy and not quite up to the level of the Dark Lord.
If he thought about it from his perspective, Allen would not let Sauron, a loser who only knows how to talk, be the commander of an ambush army.
Isn't Angmar useful? Even if the Head of the Nazgûl has not been restored, sending two Nazgul at random would be better than the Mouth of Sauron.
At least after being discovered, the fearful aura possessed by the Ringwraith itself also has the ability to reverse the situation on the battlefield in an instant.
Another more important point is that Allen would not choose this place as the location for an ambush.
Because the battlefield at this time is the only way to Osgiliath, anyone with a little military knowledge knows that they need to do some reconnaissance work before passing here.
How could a qualified commander lead his men into a dangerous area without any investigation?
How long would it take to send out scouts to explore?
This is what Allen did. Before the army passed here, he appointed members of the Yin Xilien commando team to conduct a survey of the place.
The commando members, who were familiar with the terrain and extremely good at hiding their figures, discovered the enemy hiding at this moment and passed the information back.
At that time, Allen had already noticed that something was wrong, but the enemy had already attacked him, and it was so clumsy, so Allen had to react a little bit.
Unless he wanted to turn around and return to Pelagir in disgrace, he would have to eliminate the enemies on his way before he could join up with his friendly forces.
Under the elves' surprise attack, and the Mouth of Sauron indeed having no commanding ability, the battle ended quickly.
After Allen forced Sauron away, he immediately dissuaded Lindir who was about to pursue. At the same time, he drove the hunter to catch up with Laigolas who was still pursuing the enemy.
While stopping the elf prince, Allen told Lagolas that it was not a big deal if the enemy ran away.
When he led his army into Yin Xilian, he was no longer preparing to attack the Harad people, but to start a decisive battle with the Dark Lord in an upright manner.
Before setting off from Pelagil, Allen also considered relying on the speed of the cavalry to launch an unexpected attack on the Haradhs stationed in Osgilias.
But things soon changed.
Because the war at sea was won in half a month.
With the cooperation of the Gondor navy and the elven fleet, the pirates who were entrenched on the east bank of the river mouth of Antonin were no longer able to leave that simple camp.
This time they launched a war against Gondor and encountered unprecedented conditions. The sea seemed to hate them. During the battle, the wind direction was not favorable or it was foggy in broad daylight.
Fighting with the enemy at sea is really difficult.
In the past, these pirates would be defeated by Gondor's powerful army after landing on the beach, and finally escape with the looted wealth in their ships.
This is the first time that I have been forced out of my home by the enemy at sea.
And when all the ships are concentrated in a simple harbor camp, then fire attack becomes the most convenient method.
The fire was deliberately lit, coupled with what seemed to be a sudden sea breeze.
This raging fire completely burned the pirate ships docked together.
A large number of pirates died in their sleep in the smoke produced by the fire, and some were burned beyond recognition by the fire.
The people of Harad who were lucky enough to escape with their lives fled from the seaport to South Gondor behind them, and returned to their homeland in fear.
The intrusion brought by pirates to the Kingdom of Gondor also came to an abrupt end at this time.
And this, as Cirdan said, changed the situation in the war between Gondor and Mordor.
After hearing the news, Allen always felt that something was not right.
This battle at sea went too smoothly. He thought that some gods who could not be named might have helped Cirdan from the side quietly.
Otherwise, the pirates should not have been defeated by our own navy so easily. Could it be that the naval commander Berelach, who was defeated by the pirates, was so unbearable?
However, such a result is naturally a good thing for Allen, and it also makes him give up the raid plan. Since he can gather all the power of Gondor, why take the risk?
After the day when Allen and Cirdan's troops set off from Minas Tirith, the Gondor soldiers from Belfalas, Pinas Gailin, and Amfalas no longer had to worry about the pirates, because they came from
The elven fleet in Gray Harbor cleared the waters in that area.
These troops who were originally going to support White City, after simple preparations, followed the orders of the ruling prime minister and rushed to Minas Tirith.
Even traveling along the wide Southern Avenue would take a week or two.
As for Pelargir, after Cirdan led the fleet back, after a war meeting.
Allen led the elite cavalry, passed the bridge across the Anduin River, and entered Yin Xilien.
He wanted to prepare in advance in this land of the moon and cover the Gondor fleet that would set out later.
The dozens of large ships that set out from Pelagir, plus the countless small boats, carried the soldiers who originally guarded Pelagir.
Of course, there are also some militiamen gathered in Pelagil.
The militiamen who came to the western region of Benning, led by "Fearless" Antonis, went north along the Anduin River to support Ecthelion in Osgiliath.
By the way, tell the people of Gondor in Minas Tirith about the victory in the south.
The horn of Gondor's counterattack against Mordor was officially sounded at this moment.
What Allen didn't know was that the situation in Kelandros had also undergone a series of changes due to the arrival of reinforcements.
Gandalf, who did not go south with Allen, set off from Minas Tirith and followed the Southern Road to Anorion, where he assisted Sengel and Alger.
The gray robe wizard, who was worried about the entire battlefield, knew that Allen and Cirdan did not need his help and advice, and he himself was unwilling to go to Osgiliath to face his colleagues.
So Anorion became one of his few choices.
And when the reinforcements from the western fiefdoms of Gondor finally arrived in Minas Tirith.
The old chancellor Turgon courageously handed over the supporting army to the leadership of Gandalf, asking the famous gray robe wizard to help him deal with the enemies that could threaten the Pelennor Plains.
In this way, at Gandalf's suggestion, the Gondor army, several times the size of the Variags, surrounded the fortress where they were stationed, including Alger, who had always wanted to do something.
Sengel, on the other hand, led the Rohan Cavalry and crossed the Anduin River directly from the island of Caer Andros, and began to raid the orc camp that was protecting the Variags.
At first, faced with the siege of Gondor's army, the Variags didn't care at all, because they were confident that they could defend for a long time with their solid city defenses, and their allies were not far away.
But as Sengel's cavalry troops crossed the fortress and entered Yin Xilian's back, the Variags became unable to sit still.
The most critical thing is that the Gondor army has been besieging the fortress for several days, and there is still no news of support from Minas Morgul. This makes the defenders who cling to the fortress feel an ominous omen in their hearts.
Moreover, there was no movement in the direction of Black Gate.
The Variags, who did not want to be trapped in the urn, made a tentative breakout in a few days, but they were all forced back to the island's fortress by Rohan's powerful cavalry.
Although the Variags are a heavily armed elite force, their combat effectiveness is considered strong among Sauron's men.
But after leaving the castle, they had to face Gondor infantry that was several times their size, and the Rohan hussars that might appear from behind them at any time.
Faced with this situation of being attacked from both sides, the small number of people has always been the flaw of this army.
And the orc camp led by the Nazgul did make a gesture to assist the friendly forces.
But with the help of Gandalf, the brave Rohirrim defeated the army composed of Uruk on the river bank.
The orcs' panicked escape also completely shattered the Variag people's hope of escaping from Cair Andros.
This sudden turn of events on the battlefield was naturally seen by Sauron who had regained consciousness.
Angmar's failure at Pelagir made the Dark Lord entrenched in Barad-dur realize that he was losing the advantage he originally had.
Naturally, Sauron would not just watch all this happen.
Under his orders, the Nazgûl, who were originally guarding Barad-dûr, were now flying around Mordor, summoning the Snagas who lived in the shadows.
Leading them to gather towards Udon, the canyon behind the Black Gate.
The Dongyi people from the north also continued to gather near the Black Gate and set up camps one after another.
These troops will become Sauron's means of defending Black Gate, and they will also be his confidence to launch another attack.
In order to deal with the enemy troops coming from the south, Sauron also set up a series of formations. As long as the elite troops led by Allen were defeated, the battle would still be fought.
And as his number one subordinate, the Witch King of Angmar, he was indeed not by his side at this time.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! At the same time, Sauron also sent the deputy leader of Minas Morgul City, Gothmog as Angmar's deputy to assist in completing the chapter.
The second ambush.
However, the Dark Lord's plan was discovered by Allen, and the ambush he placed near the crossroads became a joke.
He could only watch helplessly through the Palantir spar, as Allen, who had won the battle, merged with the fleet behind him near Emine Alnen.
And the mighty fleet also made Sauron give up the idea of continuing to ambush.
Because after those fleets unloaded some soldiers on the east bank of the river, they headed directly towards Osgilias in the middle of the river.
And, with the help of the wind, they quickly approached the eastern city area which was empty of troops.
At this time, Exelion, who had been stationed in the western city, discovered that his own fleet was floating on the river. While being ecstatic, he decisively issued a counterattack order.
The son of the prime minister arranged for hundreds of Gondor elites to row dozens of small boats and enter the DC area through the trestle on the river bank.
And he himself led the Royal Guards along the bridge built by the enemy and killed the Haradhs guarding the other side of the bridge.
Facing the sudden attack, the remaining Haradhs in the city had no choice but to give up guarding the bridge and burrowed into the ruins of the city to defend themselves on the spot.
If they didn't leave, they would soon be overrun by Gondor warriors rushing from other directions.
Only the Haradrian archers standing on high places have been causing some trouble to Ecthelian's troops.
However, Yin Xilien's attackers, who were armed with fir bows, quickly cleared them out in the exchange of fire after crossing the bridge.
After a brief battle, the DC area of Osgiliath returned to the embrace of Gondor again.
And the pressure came to Sauron, who failed in the ambush and lost the city.
