The cold raindrops pattered on the hillside covered with shrubs and strange rocks, and soon formed winding streams of water.
The armored big-horned goat flashed around on the muddy mountain road, with two big horns shining in the rain on its drooping head.
They are agile and carry their dwarf companions on their backs. Amidst the roars of the dwarves, they rush forward towards the orcs who have begun to change their formations.
Jumping and running between mountains is the ability of these bighorn sheep to survive in the mountains. Even on steeper and more precipitous slopes, they can walk on flat ground. This is a survival instinct engraved in their bones.
Compared with them, horses that are used to galloping on the plains perform quite poorly. Whether it is the ditch washed out by the rain or the sudden rolling of stones, it will hinder the running speed of the war horse, and if you are not careful, it will gallop.
The horse's hooves moving forward will suffer devastating damage due to unstable footing.
Therefore, even if Allen had chosen the gentlest area nearby when he summoned the cavalry, the Swadia knights who were riding their horses to their heart's content would still have people and horses rolling down the hillside.
However, this did not stop the knights from running fast, because Allen's order was only to charge until the orcs and trolls in front of him were completely eliminated.
Even those knights who lost their horses would struggle to get up in the mud, pull out the two-handed swords from the saddle with their hands stained with mud and moss, and silently follow the large army and continue to charge forward.
Amidst the sound of hoofbeats, the two cavalry units continued to shrink the distance between them and the orcs. After a while, both sides could even see each other's faces in the heavy rain.
Fear and excitement, roaring and cowering, collapse and calmness, various emotions appeared on the faces of humans, dwarves and orcs respectively.
"Kill!"
Before the cavalry came into contact with the orcs, bursts of killing cries had already cut through the rain curtains, surging through the dim mountains.
This is the human infantry who launched the charge earlier and is already fighting in a melee with the orcs.
The sharp red sword blade in Allen's hand, with jet-black blood spurting out, chopped Uruk, who was wearing iron armor, to the ground. Then, his right foot wearing silver combat boots popped out violently,
He kicked away a Snaga who was about to pounce on him, and a miserable howl was heard along with the sound of cracking bones. After a while, the orc who fell to the ground stopped moving.
After doing all this, Allen looked at the enemies surrounding him and gently exhaled a breath of hot air, and then the warmth was instantly washed away by the cold rain.
This was already the thirty-fourth or thirty-fifth orc he had killed.
And around Allen, because of his efficient and cruel killing, a blank area with a diameter of more than three meters appeared, and the ground was covered with the corpses of orcs.
Among them are Snaga with simple equipment, and Uruks with helmets and armors. However, without exception, as long as these guys enter the range of Allen's attack, they will be taken away by the red sword in an instant.
Walk life.
Black blood, cold rain and thin mud mixed together, making the ground even more sticky and muddy.
And outside this mud, there are endless orcs. Allen, who is deeply trapped in it, can no longer see the support of the dwarves. He can only vaguely feel that the cavalry he summoned is getting closer and closer to him. This makes Lift
Allen, whose sword was in a slashing posture, was a little dazed. He looked at the wolf cavalry watching the battle on the hillside in the distance, and his mind suddenly drifted to other places.
In the initial plan, Allen did not take the support of the dwarves into consideration, because the dwarves did not know the information about their support from any way. They may know that there will be reinforcements, but when will they come and where will they come from?
No information has been exchanged between the two parties.
Therefore, the sudden arrival of the dwarves was an unexpected surprise for Allen, and it also made him determined to immediately lead his troops to start a decisive battle with the confronting orcs. However, when killing the orcs, Allen was slightly distracted.
After a little thought, I immediately understood the reason.
The arrival of the dwarves is a matter of course.
It would be a real joke if nearly ten thousand orcs and dozens of trolls were gathering among the mountains, but Thorin, who wanted to take back his homeland, didn't know anything about it, not to mention that it was not far from where he was stationed.
The area is not that far away.
However, even with the heavy cavalry and the support of dwarves, Allen still believed that this battle was still a hard fight.
More than 1,700 human elites plus about 300 dwarf cavalry fought against nearly 10,000 orcs and a large group of trolls. Allen knew that the casualties in this battle would definitely not be too small, not to mention the hillside on the opposite side.
There is also a group of enemy wolf cavalry who are watching eagerly. Although the number is not large, at the critical moment, they can definitely give themselves a big "surprise".
"You scum, get out of the way! Get out of the way!"
There was a sound that was hard to hear, like glass scratching a blackboard, which pulled Allen's thoughts back to the battlefield, and also made his eyes tracking the traces of his subordinates return to the battlefield. In addition to the heavy cavalry, he had another
A card, a very dangerous but not particularly stable card.
Hermione, who was always following him, was not in the team, and neither were the twelve Twilight Knights. Wearing elven cloaks, they were hiding among the mountains at the moment. Even Allen had now lost their
trace.
At this time, a team composed of hundreds of Uruks was moving quickly on the battlefield. They were equipped with dark armors, and either had thick wooden sticks or dark hammers in their hands. The figures quickly interspersed among Allen's bodies.
The eyes are blurry.
Most of the orcs are gray and black, and Uruk is just taller and stronger than the ordinary Snaga. Among the black army, these guys are not particularly conspicuous even if they gather together.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! What's more, they are far smarter than ordinary orcs, and they lower their figures intentionally or unintentionally to avoid Allen's searching eyes.
If possible, they would rather do something meaningful and let those coward-like Snagas do the chores of entangling strong human beings to death.
Originally, these Uruks, which were not too many in number, were generally responsible for supervising the battle teams and squad leaders under Lagash's orders.
After all, this wolf cavalry, who was ordered to do so in a critical situation, was far less wealthy than his previous master. He had an army of tens of thousands of Uruks to charge against the dwarves and elves who were waiting for him.
At this time, the Uruk team was led by a half-orc with scars on his face. In addition to the same dark armor as ordinary Uruks, Balti also had a pair of scarlet eyes that seemed to drip blood, which could definitely be seen.
It impresses people.
In order to clear a path, Balti, who had scarlet eyes, violently punched Snaga who was blocking him in front of him. His expression of choosing and devouring others made those who saw him look panicked and somewhat confused.
In order not to face Balti anymore, the timid guy began to push his companions around him desperately to get out of here.
The road that Snaga gave way allowed these hundreds of Uruks to circle around the battlefield and quickly reach their target.
It was a military formation composed of thousands of human warriors wearing cyan armor. At the beginning, they followed Allen closely, roaring and waving their weapons, slashing and killing because the arrival of the dwarves was still there.
The stunned half-orc.
It's just that the half-orcs reacted very quickly. They reacted immediately after being attacked. In the entanglement with humans, the half-moon-shaped phalanx that was originally thick in the middle and thin on the sides was also changing rapidly. The thickness on both sides continued to increase and gradually
Close towards the center.
The orcs who were attacked first relied on their large numbers to take the lead in surrounding the humans who initiated the fight against them. During the gathering process, they continued to conduct probing attacks.
The human warriors maintained a circular square formation surrounded by a large number of orcs. The heavy infantrymen wearing sophisticated armor and holding shields shouldered the areas with the heaviest combat pressure, while the soldiers holding spears filled in other areas.
Vacant, each guarding their respective backs.
Amidst the roars and wails, spears and hammers continued to poke and strike, killing the orcs one after another who tried to charge into the battle.
In a short period of time, a large number of Snaga and a small number of Uruk ended their dirty lives, once again proving with their lives the importance of formation in a melee.
However, as Lagash's adjutant, Balti would certainly not let this situation continue forever. Originally, he could have waited for the arrival of the trolls, but just now a human heavy cavalry sprang out from nowhere, and in
He rushed directly to the phalanx on the west side of the rugged hillside, and had a fierce battle with the orc army that had just mixed with the trolls.
Although Balti could see the human soldiers who were knocked away by the giant stick in the hands of the trolls from a distance, he also understood that he might not be able to count on the support of the trolls in a short time, so he gathered an army of Uruks.
, prepare to break these phalanxes by surprise.
Balti has rich combat experience, and he knows that as long as one point of this formation is violently torn apart, the enemy will soon be in a difficult situation. At that time, the half-orcs can truly exert their numerical advantage, and
He also hopes that this battle will end quickly.
Because he had other concerns in his mind. You must know that the number of dwarves in this mountain range is far more than a few hundred cavalry. When the dwarves chased him, there were at least a thousand dwarf veterans. Otherwise, the number of dwarves in the Gray Mountains
Orcs wouldn't be beaten like this.
"Attack, kill them, tear them apart, and fill your insatiable belly with their flesh and blood."
After the order was given, a large number of Uruks squeezed away the Snaga who was blocking them, and ran towards the spears that were shining with cold light. Soon, the roar before death was heard, and the dark blood began to splash in the air.
, Uruk lost nearly a hundred lives in a short time because of the charge.
However, the charge of the orcs did not stop. They continuously attacked the area on the west side of the phalanx. Soon, corpses filled the open space between humans and orcs. These corpses were hindering the approach of the orcs.
At the same time, it also makes it more difficult for the human warriors in the phalanx to attack.
Many Uruks who had sacrificed their lives before used their weapons to smash the wooden handles of their spears before dying, and some simply used their own bodies to clamp the spears tightly to the tribesmen who continued to charge behind.
Provide final help.
After all, they are not the short, insignificant and very cowardly Snaga. They are the Uruk clan who are good at fighting, and they are powerful orcs who can confront the dwarves and elves head-on.
The human warriors holding spears immediately felt the tremendous pressure. These Uruks, who were similar in stature to humans, were completely different from the Snaga they had fought against before.
After those short guys suffered a certain amount of casualties, they would flee backwards regardless, and then gather again amidst the sound of whips and shouts, and then continue to attack the phalanx. Although their attack method was also very tricky and
It's fast and furious, but at least there's time to take a breath in between.
Now, it was the first time for most of these soldiers who were not particularly experienced in combat to encounter continuous impacts like this, as well as the act of trapping spears with their lives, and they became a little panicked for a while.
If it were the battle-hardened warriors of Gondor, they would most likely roar and draw out their melee weapons, use a counter-charge to kill all the Uruks approaching them, and use their lives and massacre to intimidate those around them who dare not step forward.
Snaga, buy time for your comrades to reorganize their formation.
It's just that there are no ifs on the battlefield. The Rovanian soldiers facing emergencies do not have as rich battlefield experience as the Gondor warriors.
After a brief moment of daze, they immediately threw away the unusable spears in their hands, pulled out the swords from their waists with their backhands, and started fighting hand-to-hand with the Uruk who was getting closer and closer amidst loud roars.
While fighting against the enemy, one inevitably falls into a disadvantage.
Their behavior fully complied with the various requirements during training. However, the ordinary long swords in their hands could not cause much damage to the enemies wearing iron armor, at least they could not slash. They could only look for opportunities in fierce battles to kill them.
The sharp sword tip was sent into Uruk's body like a spear.
The ferocious wooden club and pitch-black hammer in Uruk's hand knocked down a large number of human warriors in a short time. Even though the Aoba Armor's defense was very high, it could not completely stop the damage done to the body by blunt weapons.
The injuries, broken bones, and damaged internal organs were not fatal in a short period of time, but were enough to render the soldiers incapable of fighting.
After all, the equipment of these spearmen is basically to deal with the poorly equipped Snaga, and the heavy infantry armed with large shields and maces are to deal with Uruk. It is just the huge gap in the number of the two sides that makes
Such an arrangement cannot be implemented smoothly.
As Uruk completely suppressed the human soldiers in an area, Snaga, who was timid and still watching, let out an excited howl and joined the siege battle like the wind.
The attack methods of these short Snagas are very dirty. Most of the weird-shaped scimitars in their hands will slash at the unprotected calves of human soldiers, putting the phalanx that is trying its best to support in danger. It is about to happen because of a little
Was breached and lost its formation.
Although the human warriors who were guarding other directions were aware of the situation here, they also needed to defend themselves against the enemy in front of them, and it was simply impossible to shrink their formation immediately to support this side.
"Stop them!"
At this critical moment, Arnold's roar caused the archers who were originally from the reserve team to join the defense of this front, blocking Uruk's continuous progress. Some bows and arrows were extremely skilled in shooting.
With his hand, he even drew the long bow behind his comrades, ignoring the soreness in his arms to snipe the enemy who was fighting with his comrades.
It's just that the orcs have smashed the defense here. Balti definitely can't give the humans a chance to shrink their formation and set up the spear formation again. Under his orders, whether it is Snaga or Uruk, they continue to attack.
In the area defended by Arnold, the crisis for human soldiers has not been resolved, and is still moving in an unfavorable direction.
"boom."
A large piece of ferocious flames suddenly exploded around Balti. Even in the cold rain, Lagash's adjutant felt unbearable pain, and then he began to roll crazily on the ground, trying to save himself.
Before death, extinguish the flames on your body.
And Allen's figure in silver armor also walked out of the fire. He didn't care about Balti rolling around on the ground, because there were too many orcs rolling on the ground, and they were burned to death.
There were more, and he could no longer tell who was the orc soldier and who was the orc commander.
What Allen can do now is to wave the talisman sword in his hand, kill the orcs blocking the road in front of him one after another, and join up with his soldiers who are holding on.
He needed his subordinates to hold on longer to buy more time for the other faction he deployed, and on the way here, he had already searched for the Twilight Knights, who were disguised in elf cloaks.
Down, we were almost approaching the hillside where the Wolf Cavalry was.
And Allen also believes that Hermione will never let him down.
