Little bits of icy rain began to fall from the dark clouds, and then turned into ice-like knives by the raging wind in the mountains, leaving bursts of piercing pain on the soldiers' nervous faces.
And this could not make the warriors who were waiting to close their eyes, because they were staring at the orc army rushing towards them from the steep slope to the north. The gray-black tide filled the entire hillside, and Si Na
Ga was scurrying between the rocks with a crude weapon in his hand, while making an unpleasant hissing sound.
There are also a large number of Uruks among them. They are well-equipped and have complete armored stomachs. The weapons they hold are either pitch-black hammers or ferocious sticks. Farther away, there is a wolf cavalry watching the battle. All
All human warriors know that these cruel and cunning things must be waiting for the right time.
The rain fell heavier and heavier in the howling wind, and the team of orcs was getting closer and closer to the human troops, and faster than the orcs were the black arrows shot by hundreds of Snaga archers, even if
Washed away by the rain, the waves of pitch-black arrows still had a fishy and unpleasant smell left on them.
It was obvious that some unknown poison had been fed on it, perhaps orc feces.
However, facing the long-range attack launched by the orcs, all the human soldiers just raised their left hands and tightly protected their unprotected faces, but did not make any other movements.
The human soldiers really shouldn't make too big a move. At this time, the orcs' forward troops are already approaching them. If they disrupt the formation they finally established because of avoiding the rain of arrows, then they are likely to follow.
at a disadvantage in the battle.
Because there are so many enemies, like a constant tide, only by forming formations can we gain a better advantage in the battle.
The black arrows fired by the condescending Snaga archers were very accurate. Their bloodthirsty and cruel eyes revealed a greedy look, watching the poisoned arrows falling on the human soldiers one after another.
These guys hope that this wave of attacks will kill enough humans so that they can improve their food at night. Even if it is meat, they don't want to eat their own kind every day, not to mention that the taste of humans is more oily.
"Ding" "ding" "ding"...
However, the result far exceeded the expectations of these orcs, because after the arrows hit the blue armor, they only made a little noise in the heavy rain, and then fell to the ground in vain.
The rough iron arrowheads didn't even leave any traces on human armor, let alone cause any decent damage.
Seeing that their shots had no effect, these Sinaga archers threw away the black bows and arrows in their hands, picked up their daggers and joined the attack.
In fact, they were no longer able to shoot again because the black bows in their hands were made using water-soluble glue refined from animals or plants. If they forced multiple shots in heavy rain, they could be injured.
It doesn't necessarily matter who it is.
Orcs with limited intelligence may not understand the truth behind it, but the tragic events that happened in the past will provide them with some experience, allowing them to make the right choice at critical moments.
The human archers protected by spearmen in the middle have no such concerns. The longbows they hold are weapons carefully crafted by the woodland elves. These skills from Valinor are suitable for most weather conditions.
Soon, after the "shoot" orders were given, a shower of arrows was shot out from the human formation, nailing the charging orcs to the hillside one after another. Their suddenly fallen bodies were scattered on the hillside.
It rolls when it stops, sometimes even becoming an obstacle to the running of subsequent troops.
It’s just that there are too many orcs. A wide crescent-shaped front is gathering on the hillside, gradually surrounding the human soldiers who are waiting. With such a large enemy force, archers alone cannot stop their approach.
.
"Ouch"
After a burst of wolf howls that pierced the sound of rain, the orcs, relying on their numerical advantage that was several times greater than that of humans, stretched out their legs and launched a charge.
Although the long-range attack just now left the seeds of fear in the hearts of these scum, the new leader's actions have still established a certain prestige among the orcs, so after receiving the order, these dark minions are still desperate
Launched a fierce attack.
Due to dark clouds and heavy rain, more than half of the sun's light has been blocked, which makes the light between the mountains extremely dim. The morning that should have been very bright is now like dusk before the sun sets, and as the sun sets,
With the orcs' charge, the little remaining brightness seemed to become even darker.
"Huh! Ha!"
The heavily armored soldiers standing at the front of the team looked at the approaching enemies and shouted in unison, boosting the morale of their comrades behind them.
After all, most of the soldiers holding spears in their hands were citizen soldiers and had little experience in participating in battles. The only continuous battle was the battle to expel the Dongyi people a few years ago.
Although before setting off, they had learned from the king that this operation was likely to involve fighting, and they had made sufficient psychological preparations for this, but at this moment they were facing an enemy several times their size.
I still feel a little nervous in my heart.
Gale, who was commanding the heavy infantry, was obviously aware of this, so he led the soldiers to give a pre-battle shout just before the battle.
However, Gale's worries soon disappeared.
Because after they shouted, the surrounding light suddenly brightened up, as if someone had lit a pile of inspiring flames in the darkness, dispelling the tense atmosphere that shrouded the soldiers' hearts.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The person who lit the fire was naturally Alan, who was standing at the front of the team.
In the eyes of many soldiers, their King, facing the boundless enemies, slowly stretched out his right arm wearing silver armor, as if he was calculating something.
And a few seconds later, a pillar of fire that was tens of meters long and looked like a dragon's breath suddenly appeared in the heavy rain. It started from the formation on the left side of the orcs and swept all the way to the right. After crossing a distance of several hundred meters, it disappeared in the heavy rain.
It's like it never appeared.
However, hundreds of orcs with their bodies covered in flames and screaming in agony told all the soldiers on the scene who were about to start the battle that what just happened was by no means an illusion. The fire that was still burning despite the cold rain was
The side proves the truth of all this.
Not to mention the hundreds of orc corpses turned into charcoal, silently telling everyone that the temperature of the flames was hot enough, at least it was more than enough to burn the orcs to death in the heavy rain.
The sudden appearance of the flaming hell suddenly stopped the orcs from charging. A well-informed and old guy even rubbed his eyes with the back of his dirty and downy hands because he suspected
A fire dragon just flew over from the sky, and it also sprayed dragon breath towards itself in a very strange way.
This is unreasonable. All orcs know that evil dragons are their allies. Even most of the reptiles who are huge and have strong scales do not look down on the increasingly weak orcs, but this has never happened.
After something like today, even if it breathed fire, it should only burn those humans who were gathered together.
However, Lagash, who was standing in the distance and watching the battle, saw everything clearly. He had just become the leader of the orcs, and he had seen a lot of magic when he followed Azog, but what happened in front of him still made him sad.
His heart was filled with astonishment.
As far as he knew, the Dark Lord who hid in Dol Guldur more than ten years ago was also a master of playing with fire. There were rumors circulating in the dark region that contained relevant information. During the final alliance war, Emperor Sauron used one hand to
He crushed the former High King of the Númenóreans, Elendil, to death, while the other hand spurted out flames and burned to death Gil-galad, the High King of the Noldor elves.
But compared with the scene in front of me, the legendary Emperor Sauron still seems to be inferior.
Only after a brief period of confusion, Lagash still asked his partner to issue the order to continue charging, because he knew that this was the Orcs' last chance.
As early as when the human soldiers filed out of the forest and set foot on the Gray Mountains, Lagash learned all this from the mouths of the wargs scattered throughout the mountains. At the same time, he also concluded that this human army was the reinforcements of the dwarves.
Of course it was the reinforcements of the dwarves. Lagash was an orc who had participated in the Battle of Lonely Mountain. He knew that almost all the humans and dwarves in the north were sleeping in the same cave.
Nowadays, although the battle between the orcs and the dwarves no longer has a direct conflict, it is still experiencing the most important moment. For Lagash, victory or defeat will depend on the last month.
If he could not stop these humans from continuing upward at this time, then he would have lost the initiative in this battle. After the formal meeting between humans and dwarves, he could only retreat to Gundabad with his men in disgrace.
Shan, and that bad-minded Arag competed for the position of leader.
Moreover, Lagash could not guarantee whether losing the Gray Mountains would arouse the dissatisfaction of the Dark Lord.
Although he was only recently selected as the leader, Lagash was worried that the black knights riding monsters might not consider this, but would use the terrifying steel sword to cut off their own heads.
Even if it is for his own life, he still wants to work hard, not to mention that after victory, Lagash still has great hope to become a being like Azog.
You must know that an orc leader who is trusted by the Dark Lord is almost equal to one person being inferior to ten thousand people in the north. Such huge power is a fatal temptation for Lagash.
However, no matter howling the wargs made, the orcs who were frightened by the flames seemed to have no desire to move forward. They peered at each other, as if waiting for the first warrior to appear. Of course, he appeared.
It's also possible that he was a deserter.
However, whether fighting or escaping, they all need an example or an opportunity to change the situation on the battlefield.
The confrontation occurred strangely in the fire and cold rain, and the howling of wolves began to gradually approach the battlefield, making Lagash a little anxious.
...
At this time, Allen, who used all his strength to control the flames, saw the fear permeating the hearts of the orcs while breathing, but he did not give the order to charge to the soldiers who were looking at him, because this was a hillside, even if he was
The armor worn by his men was not considered heavy, and they could not catch up with the flexible orcs.
The current situation gave Allen some other ideas. If possible, he hoped to deal a heavier blow to the orcs.
In fact, based on his knowledge of orcs and wolf cavalry, after entering this mountain range, Allen knew that his whereabouts had been noticed by the enemy.
Allen knows that wargs, dark creatures, can be said to be very good scouts to a certain extent. They have human-like intelligence, a keen sense of smell, and sharp eyes. In addition, they occupy the high altitude of the mountains.
There is no way he can ignore the more than a thousand human beings in this place.
Not to mention that Allen used his ability from the beginning to actually find traces of the Wolf Cavalry near the team.
Therefore, as long as Allen wants to join up with the dwarves, this battle is inevitable. The orcs will definitely fight with him, but they must fight with skill.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In order to prevent the orcs from ambushing him in certain special terrains, Allen tried his best to avoid the team walking in extremely dangerous places such as canyons and cliffs, and asked Dwalin to try his best to choose
Marching on terrain with a gentle slope took the team a lot of time, and the mountain roads were not easy to walk.
At the same time, Allen also sent out all the Noldor Rangers and Twilight Knights to serve as scouts to increase the safety range of the team, which was to clearly tell the Orc leader that if he wanted to stop him, he could only
If we launch an upright battle, humans will never step into the ambush of orcs.
The terrain where the duel is now taking place was also chosen by Allen. He is certain that the orcs will launch a surprise attack here, because the terrain here is relatively flat and there is an extremely wide hillside. It is one of the few orcs that can display their abilities.
Where there is a numerical advantage, there is also the advantage of using the high to defeat the low.
As for the road behind, it is either too narrow or very steep. Small-scale conflicts are okay, but large-scale decisive battles are not okay at all. Allen guessed that the purpose of the orcs is to destroy supplies or drive his team out of the gray area.
mountains.
Such a purpose is simply to block, and time is actually on Allen's side, because this place is closer to the country of the dwarves, and the noise made during the battle is likely to attract Thorin's attention.
Orcs are more likely to get into a state of being flanked from both sides.
In other words, the dwarves may have discovered the movements of the orcs and are already organizing troops to plan a raid. You must know that there are almost ten thousand orcs appearing on the hillside at this time. As long as Thorin does not ignore the collection of information,
, you should be able to detect the enemy's large-scale march.
Therefore, Allen believes that the orcs need a victory that ends as soon as possible to ensure their advantage in the Gray Mountains.
If Allen is commanding the orcs to complete this battle, then under the current circumstances he will most likely choose this place, and according to Dwalin's description, Allen believes that the orc commander in the Gray Mountains has certain command capabilities, and it is very likely that he will choose this place.
I will make the same choice as myself.
Allen, who came up with this plan at the time, had no choice but to do so. If the ravens and small animals were willing to fly in this mountain range, then he wouldn't have to go through such trouble. Under the guidance of the birds, he and Thorin's team
It should be able to come together easily.
Although the dwarves' supplies cannot allow the large army to leave the defense zone, as long as hundreds of dwarf warriors help, Allen believes that the orcs will naturally give up attacking his team and retreat obediently to the west.
It is a pity that this mountain range has been eroded by the power of darkness for too long. The smaller birds and ravens are simply unwilling to stay here for a long time. From the spies, Allen heard the fear of the small animals. The ravens
In the "quacking" sound, he said that he would be affected and become a bird or a ghost.
Now, Allen's plan is considered successful, and things develop as expected. Now he needs a chance to reveal his last trump card, so that he can win this battle in one fell swoop.
