The Kingdom of the Lonely Mountain, also known as the Kingdom under the Mountain, was once one of the homes of the Durin Dwarves.
At this time, in the square in front of its gate, hundreds of heavily armored dwarf infantry were fighting hard under the siege of countless Uruk soldiers.
They are the elites brought by Dain from the Iron Hills, more than 800 heavy-armed dwarf infantry to support Thorin Oakenshield.
In the previous battles, they were the rock that stood on the offensive path of the Uruk soldiers. With the mutual help of their companions, they persisted tenaciously even in the face of enemies several times their size.
Moreover, when they killed thousands of Uruk soldiers, their own casualties could reach three digits.
But all this was destroyed by three trolls approaching them. The shield wall they were proud of was helpless against the brute force of these monsters and was broken down in an instant.
In a very short period of time, the dwarf heavy infantry in the middle of the shield wall was surrounded by Uruk soldiers.
Many dwarf warriors who were unable to react in time during the troll's attack were knocked down by a large number of Uruk soldiers in panic, and then countless weapons, either slashed or smashed, attacked them and took away their lives.
The old dwarf warriors with more combat experience understood the current situation at this moment, and they loudly shouted "circle formation" to the surrounding dwarf warriors.
Then these old dwarf warriors rushed out from the dwarf team one after another, and attacked the Uruks that were surrounding them frantically, regardless of the weapons the enemies chopped at them.
They are using their own flesh and blood to buy time for the other dwarves to form an array.
The dwarves on both sides of the shield wall were not under siege. At this time, most of the Uruk soldiers' attention was on the besieged dwarves.
Faced with this situation, these dwarf heavy infantry no longer maintained their formation, but waved their weapons to rescue the compatriots in the middle.
Of course they couldn't just watch their besieged compatriots die at the hands of Uruk soldiers.
For a time, the two sides fell into a tangled melee.
Without the help of the shield wall, the casualty rate of the dwarf heavy infantry suddenly became high. Although they also killed many Uruk soldiers, this could not change the fact that they were surrounded.
At this time, the clear and melodious horns of the woodland elves and the dull horns of the orcs sounded one after another.
Azog on Raven Hill saw the situation of the dwarf heavy infantry, and he wanted to target the dwarf chariot next.
Prevent these guys who are closer to the dwarf infantry from supporting those dwarf infantry.
The few trolls who had just reached the midfield began to accelerate after hearing the sound of the horn, and rushed towards the dwarf chariot that was looming among the orcs.
They were obeying Azog's order and were preparing to stop the chariot.
Under their brute force, two chariots were soon stopped by these trolls unexpectedly.
The steel chariot was torn apart by the troll's crazy attacks. The bighorn goats fled frantically, and the dwarves driving the chariot also died tragically in the hands of the troll.
Seeing that the situation was not going well, the remaining three chariots used their crossbows to kill several trolls that were charging towards them, and then retreated towards the gate of Gushan. While avoiding the trolls, they rushed to the aid of their compatriots.
And then I remembered that amidst the clear and melodious horns of the woodland elves, there was first a wave of arrows shot from River Valley City, covering the Uruk team in front of the dwarf formation.
This dense rain of arrows smashed the formation of Uruk soldiers to pieces. Not only that, it also took away three trolls who had just dismantled the dwarf chariot.
King Thranduil of the Woodland, riding his great horned deer and leading thousands of elven sword and shield bearers from the Woodland Kingdom, rushed out along the bridge of River Valley City.
This elf king is here to support the dwarves, whether it is for victory in the war or for the fact that he has signed a contract.
He could not watch these dwarf infantry die miserably in the siege of the orcs, no matter how much Thranduil hated these short guys before.
This elf king, relying on his superb martial arts, rode a big-antlered deer and charged into the ranks of Uruk soldiers.
Thranduil gracefully waved the elven war blade in his hand on his mount, and in conjunction with the great horned deer under his crotch, slaughtered the surrounding Uruk soldiers.
The elven sword and shield bearers who followed later launched a charge towards the already sparse phalanx of Uruk soldiers.
As the firstborn children of Yiru, their attributes are far stronger than those of humans.
Even if they were wearing elven plate armor and holding huge tower shields, they could keep up with Thranduil in a short time.
During the charge, they waved the Elven Glaive in their hands like a dance, killing the Uruks blocking them along the way.
It was like a golden gust of wind, blowing away the black dead branches blocking their path.
There is no absolute numerical advantage in this area, and even the Uruk soldiers who are at a numerical disadvantage cannot stop the massacre of the Elf Sword and Shieldmen.
Soon, the elves killed through Uruk's team and formed a golden shield wall in front of the dwarves, blocking the subsequent impact of Uruk soldiers.
Immediately afterwards, a large number of elves rushed towards the Uruk soldiers who were besieging the dwarves. They were going to rescue the besieged dwarves.
At the same time, about five hundred elven archers launched covering fire on the bridge at the orc army that was attacking later, covering the compatriots who were in direct combat with the Uruk soldiers.
At this time, Allen, with his own bodyguards, had already killed another troll trebuchet squad and mixed with Dyne's cavalry.
In his spare time while killing the orcs, Allen shouted loudly towards Daine, whose body was spattered with black blood.
"Where's Thorin?"
Dine, who had just killed an Uruk soldier with his war hammer, his already extremely ferocious face became even more ugly. He glared at Allen and did not answer his question.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Instead, he shouted loudly, regrouped the dwarf cavalry who had suffered more than half of their casualties, bypassed the elves' shield formation, rushed back again, and slashed the Uruks besieging the dwarves.
Soldiers, rescuing their compatriots.
After a while, these Uruk soldiers who were isolated by the elven sword and shield bearers were massacred by the dwarves and elves jointly.
After completing all this, the elves returned to their shield formations without saying a word, helping their compatriots and struggling to resist the Uruk soldiers who seemed to be endless.
The shield formations formed by the sword and shield bearers of the Woodland Kingdom are far inferior to those of the dwarves. Their height of two meters also gives the Uruk soldiers too much space to attack.
In a short period of time, they suffered some casualties.
Dine Ironfoot, who had rescued his compatriots, took a deep look at Thranduil, who was still slaughtering wantonly in the Uruk phalanx. Only he knew what he was thinking in his heart.
At this time, Allen took his personal guards and ran back to River Valley City.
The city wall defended by humans and elves is currently engaged in a fierce battle.
Although Allen killed the two troll trebuchet teams in a very short period of time.
However, the flying rocks they poured down still smashed the two city walls they were guarding to pieces, and also injured a large number of elves and humans.
On the city wall that had been damaged again, there were large areas of blood stains, and stumps and corpses could be seen everywhere.
The attacking Uruk soldiers were still coming in a steady stream. They even used the corpses of their compatriots and the rubble scattered outside the city wall to build a slope more than two meters wide and nearly three meters high.
At this time, they were still fearing life and death and attacked the defenders on the city wall along this slope.
Faced with such a dangerous situation, Elf Conflicthand, as the firstborn child, showed the demeanor of a boss.
Their golden figures took the initiative to take on the most dangerous areas, armed with spears and shields, and fought in close combat with the Uruk soldiers.
Allen's heavy armored regiment had already suffered nearly half casualties in the battle with the Uruk soldiers. They were exhausted and were finally replaced by the elves.
Their shields were covered with scars caused by scimitars and spears, and there were large areas of blood stains.
The armor was soaked with sweat, and the hand holding the weapon was trembling slightly. The moment he stepped back from the city wall, he sat directly on the ground.
There are many reasons why they haven't collapsed yet. The most important reason may be that Alleyn and the Nord royal guards stood at the front of the team and refused to retreat.
And behind them was Bandak, who was eyeing them eagerly, watching them closely at all times.
Those injured soldiers who continued to fight were also carried or carried by the Changhu Town militiamen to a makeshift hospital.
These militiamen from Changhu Town have been running back and forth hundreds of times, and their bodies are already soaked with sweat in the cold winter.
As for the spearmen who had fired all their arrows, they were on both sides of the elves' conflicting hands, using a longer attack distance to assist the elves in killing the Uruk soldiers who stepped onto the city wall.
In order to compete with the Uruk soldiers for these two city walls, Alleyne's infantry regiment and the elves' conflicting forces have paid an extremely heavy price.
Even the archers who had fired all their arrows had picked up the spears of their comrades and fought with the infantry on the city wall against the enemy.
However, the Uruks were still killing them endlessly, and the dark enemies came out of the tunnel one after another and attacked here.
Faced with this situation, Fatis once thought of leading his troops back to the city to defend, but was stopped by Gandalf, who had been nearby to help.
The gray-robed wizard saw this battle more clearly.
If humans and elves really give up these two city walls, they will lose their role in containing Azog from the front.
With this city wall, the combined forces of humans and elves can attack and defend. If they give up, they will most likely be blocked in the city by a larger orc army, unable to move.
Without the constraints of this part of the enemy, Azog can free up more troops to go to the frontal battlefield.
When the dwarves and elves can no longer bear it, the defenders of River Valley City will face a dead end.
Looking at Gandalf with a serious face, Fatis gave up the idea of withdrawing from the city wall and continued to dispatch soldiers on the battlefield to resist the attack of Uruk soldiers.
At this time, Allen and his guards had returned to the command post of the city wall. When he stopped, he shouted loudly: "Fatis, call the cavalry."
Then Allen turned to Bandak who was holding a siege crossbow and shouted: "Continue to hold on to the city wall. If you have any questions, you can consult Gandalf."
Then, Alan on the horse nodded towards Gandalf.
Immediately afterwards, Allen walked towards his cavalry camp with Fatis without waiting for Gandalf to respond.
Fortunately, Fatis did not abandon the city wall, otherwise these four hundred cavalry would have to be used as infantry.
At this time, the cavalry were already ready for battle, and under Allen's order, they assembled towards the gate of Gushan.
In front of the gate of Gushan, the rescued dwarves gathered together again, and three chariots also crashed out of the enemy's ranks.
The casualties of the dwarf hoplites were extremely heavy. In the short period of time after being surrounded, the death rate of the dwarf hoplites was greatly accelerated. At this time, there were only less than 500 dwarves left standing.
There are only about two hundred dwarf cavalry left under the leadership of Dain. They paid such a huge price in exchange for thousands of Uruks lying on the ground, but their bodies are exhausted and their hearts are exhausted.
Waves have begun to appear.
Dain looked at everything in front of him, glanced at the gate of the Lonely Mountain angrily, raised the warhammer in his hand again, looked around at the dwarves who were still alive, and shouted "Sons of Durin."
In addition to the "fearless fear of death" of the dwarves, what responded to him was the loud trumpet sound that sounded from the Gushan Kingdom.
Thorin Oakenshield, who lost his crown and took off his cloak, led the twelve members of the expedition team and rushed out of the gate of the Lonely Mountain.
Thorin Oakenshield finally got rid of the dragon disease and became the brave, calm and tenacious dwarf prince again.
After he rushed out of the Gushan Kingdom, his eyes were always fixed on Raven Ridge.
Allen, on the other hand, led all his cavalry and two skin-changers who had not transformed, and gathered at the gate of the Gushan Kingdom while running fast.
Allen stopped after seeing Thorin Oakenshield, while the remaining cavalry, led by Fatis, continued to converge towards the east of the Lonely Mountain Gate.
Allen did not dismount, but looked at Thorin Oakenshield who had returned to normal.
Even though the battle was so brutal, Allen still smiled happily.
He was happy for his friends, and also for the dwarves who had been fighting so far on the battlefield.
Allen said loudly on the horse: "Welcome back, respected King of the Lonely Mountain, Thorin Oakenshield."
Thorin Oakenshield looked up at Allen on the horse, laughed, and shouted loudly: "Alan, my friend, congratulations on winning the title of Dragon Slayer. No matter what my identity is, I will
On behalf of the Durin clan, I would like to thank you for your continued help."
After Allen heard this, he did not answer, but looked around and asked: "Where is Bilbo?"
Thorin Oakenshield shook his head and said: "You and I both know that no matter how clever a snitch is, he is not suitable for a frontal battlefield. I have arranged for him to rest."
After hearing this, Allen said nothing, but nodded to Thorin Oakenshield, and quickly caught up with his cavalry team with his own bodyguards.
Dyne also nodded towards Thorin Oakenshield, and led all the dwarf cavalry and three dwarf chariots to follow Allen's footsteps.
Thorin Oakenshield, who was left behind, looked at the dwarf infantry around him, raised his weapons, and shouted loudly: "Children of Durin, in the name of Longbeard, raise your weapons and follow.
I charge."
As soon as he finished speaking, the dwarf prince took the lead and rushed towards the west side of the elven shield wall, and behind him were hundreds of dwarf warriors following the king.
As soon as they rushed out, they started a fierce fight with the Uruk soldiers. With their morale high, they actually pushed back the orc army together with the elves.
Today, when the alliance is broken, dwarves and elves have united again to fight against the forces of darkness.
Azog on Raven Ridge was caught off guard after seeing this scene. He thought that the Uruk soldiers should be able to press the opponent all the way and fight. Unexpectedly, they were counterattacked now.
After a brief thought, the orc leader believed that the Uruks should no longer be allowed to attack continuously. The current situation was no longer suitable for such an attack.
After thinking clearly, he gave the order to gather in front of the tunnel. Azog was to accumulate a wave of strength at the entrance of the tunnel, and then launch a decisive battle with the elves, dwarves and humans who rushed out.
Although nearly seven thousand of the Uruks he brought were dead at this time, and more than half of the trolls were dead, with only a dozen left, he did not panic at all.
Because the sporadic bats flying from the northwest had told him that the second legion of the orcs was already approaching here and would soon appear near the Lonely Mountain.
At that time, let them rush directly into the frontal battlefield where the decisive battle is taking place, and they can deal a heavy blow to the enemy.
Azog believed that he had already won this battle.
Allen led the cavalry troops and immediately discovered Azog's plan amidst the dull sound of the horn.
He gave up his original plan to cut off the enemy army, and instead led his cavalry to slam into the Uruk soldiers in the center of the field. Waving the weapons in his hands, he led the cavalry and frantically swept away the enemies who wanted to retreat.
them.
Dyne, on the other hand, led the dwarf goat cavalry and chariots, and cooperated with Allen. Soon, they cleared away the enemies in the center of the field.
At this time, Uruk soldiers also gathered a huge force in the open space outside the tunnel. The number seemed to be four or five times that of elves and dwarves, and in the tunnel, black figures were still coming out in a steady stream.
It seems like there will never be an end.
Allen, who was parked in the middle of the field with his cavalry, was considering whether to retreat to River Valley City or continue to hold on to Gushan.
Thranduil and Thorin Oakenshield who came to him later rejected his proposal.
The reason for their refusal was simple. They couldn't use up the energy. Nearly 10,000 Uruk soldiers lined up in a dense formation in front of them. When these guys who were not afraid of life and death pressed under the city wall, the troops from both sides would enter a never-ending battle.
War of attrition.
The bows and arrows brought by the woodland elves have been exhausted, and Allen's archers have no ammunition.
Without the support of bows and arrows, Allen and the others will face a naked meat grinder. Then, the first to die will definitely be Allen's human army. They are far less elite than the dwarves and elves, and cannot afford to consume them at all.
.
Next are the tired dwarves, and finally the elves who are still in good condition.
But even if we win in the end, there will definitely not be a few people left alive.
This does not take into account the collapse of morale. After all, Allen and the others are not facing Snaga now, but a more disciplined army like Uruk. It is not necessarily who will collapse first.
Allen himself also knew that soon more than 20,000 armed Snaga would arrive from the direction of Raven Ridge.
As for whether Radagast and the Great Eagle can fly in before the armies of humans and dwarves and elves die, Allen is not sure.
Even if the big eagle flew to support, Allen still remembered that whether in the original book or in the movie, the orcs only began to collapse after the death of their leader.
It's not that the flying eagle can solve everything. The most important thing is that Azog must die.
At this time, the three leaders of humans, elves, and dwarves all looked at Raven Ridge, where Azog was.
They all knew that this snakehead must be killed. This battle would only end when the orcs lost their command and understood that their leader was dead.
But they still need an opportunity, an opportunity that can attract Azog's attention more. They cannot raid Azog in such a naked situation.
After all, the orc army still has an absolute advantage in terms of numbers. It would be too dangerous to be surrounded during a surprise attack.
Therefore, the three leaders made some calculations and believed that the opportunity lies at the moment of decisive battle.
Soon, both dwarves and elves blew the horns of the decisive battle.
On the battlefield at this time, more than 700 elven infantry and less than 500 dwarf infantry advanced neatly amidst the loud and melodious sound of horns. They gradually approached the extremely large orc team.
Although they are exhausted and their armor no longer shines, their hearts are still full of fighting spirit and their weapons are still sharp.
Without any fear, they laid out a half-silver and half-gold long snake array in front of the orcs.
At the same time, more than five hundred elven archers rushed out from the bridge in River Valley City. After shooting all their arrows, they stood behind the long snake formation with their war blades in hand.
At this time, the infantry led by Alleyn, in cooperation with the defending elves, had just killed all the Uruks who attacked the city wall.
The elves who heard the sound of the horn immediately gathered together and walked towards the orc army from the gentle slope built by the Uruk soldiers.
At this time, Gandalf came over. The gray-robed wizard was not polite at all. He raised the Gramdrin in his hand.
The long sword released a bright light under the winter sun, seeming to arouse the courage of the surrounding soldiers.
He shouted loudly, and the sound could be heard throughout the city.
"Soldiers, now is the moment of decisive battle. Pick up your weapons, leave this no longer important city wall, and go support your lord."
After hearing Gandalf's words, Alleyn no longer thought about it, but pulled a flag from the city wall and held it high. It was Allen's crown and three-star flag.
"All soldiers who can still move, please gather under this flag, follow me, follow this flag, we will rush to the frontal battlefield, we will support our lord, the decisive battle is now."
