The riding and chopping simulator of the Lord of the Rings

Chapter 108 Chain Reaction
The Iron Hills in the extreme north of Middle Earth, even now that it has entered summer, is still very cool.

A large number of dwarves drove goats and horses, and they marched in groups on the relatively flat road between the mountains, towards the direction of the lonely mountain. These were the Durin dwarves who were migrating in the Iron Hills.

At this time, the king's enthronement ceremony held in Gushan had ended hastily. Sorin II, who originally wanted to hold a special event, also diverted his energy to other places because of the arrival of the Dongyi people.

At this time, the King of Durin, after arranging matters related to the Lonely Mountain to Fei Li, has brought a group of fifty dwarf goat cavalry, accompanied by Ironfoot Dyne, to the vicinity of the Iron Hill. Check the movements of the Dongyi people to determine how to proceed next.

However, when the group of them arrived at the east bank of the Hongshui River, there was no trace of the Dongyi people here, only some garbage that was not worth taking away, and the wreckage of the huge camp.

Judging from the traces left by the Dongyi people, at least five large camps were stationed here not long ago.

Seeing this situation, Sorin led his cavalry and chased after the messy traces left by the Dongyi people, and the group soon arrived at the place where the Dongyi people crossed the river. A lonely wooden bridge, and dozens of graves not far away.

Sorin originally wanted to take the soldiers across the Hongshui River and continue chasing them to see where the Dongyi people went, but the iron-footed Dyne next to him stopped his cousin.

"Sorin, I can't continue chasing. After passing here, there will be an endless plain. We are not many in number, and we can't outrun a fast human horse on the plain. As our king, you can't take this risk."

Sorin looked up at the west direction, did not speak, but pulled out his weapon, Oakrest, and chopped off the supporting pillar in front of him with a few knives. This wooden bridge, which had just been repaired by Baal, was once again The rushing water of the Hongshui River washed away.

Then Sorin turned his mount, looked at Dyne behind him and said, "Then go back the same way, Dyne, after you get to a suitable position, you take people across the river and tell Fatis the situation here , I think the Dongyi people should target humans first."

"I will." Dain nodded.

After speaking, the dwarves turned around and headed north along the east bank of the Red Water River. After a group of people galloped for half a day, another small team was separated from the dwarf team, and they crossed the Red Water River and headed west.

It was Dyne leading a dozen dwarven cavalrymen across a hidden shoal of the Red Water River, and he was looking for Fatis.

In fact, Fatis, who had already spread several reconnaissance teams to the wasteland, learned of the Dongyi people's movements very early, but these Dongyi people did not do what Alan and Sorin II worried about. , to attack the Iron Hills dwarves that are closer to them.

Instead, like locusts, they dispersed into countless teams, attacking the gathering points of humans living in the eastern region of Rovanian.

In just a few days, several small human gathering points with only a few hundred people had no time to react, and were destroyed one after another by the Dongyi army.

And several large human gathering points with a large number of people and who were notified by Herbert in advance concentrated all their strength according to past habits, defending the Iron Wall Town built near the wall of the Iron Hill, and they The old, young, women and children are hiding in a camp in a hidden canyon.

It's just that the Dongyi people came in too many numbers this time, and the soldiers of the Baltra people had already surrounded Iron Wall Town, and under the order of Ashur, they scattered a large number of cavalry squads on the wasteland , to search for those northern humans who are hiding.

And some northern humans who managed to escape the enemy's siege when they broke through the stronghold began to flee in the direction of Changhu Town, hoping to bless the woodland elves there to defeat the enemies behind them and seek a temporarily safe living environment.

But the traces left by these people when they fled were quickly discovered by the cavalry squad of the Dongyi people. For the invaders, these are the wealth that has already fallen into their pockets. Naturally, it is impossible to let these northern humans who lost their homes escape. .

Relying on the large number of troops behind them, they chased the fleeing northern humans recklessly on the plain, and dragged the fleeing northern humans back to their camps with sticks or nooses in their hands, and starved and beat them to death. As a means, these people were kept as slaves.

And Fatis, in the report of his reconnaissance team, has already learned about the general battle situation in the wasteland. He is powerless against the siege of Iron Wall Town, not to mention him, even Sorin and Allen's army are powerless .

But Fatis would not just watch the Dongyi people do evil. He led two hundred cavalrymen under his command to stop the Dongyi people who were chasing the northern humans several times, and they were unwilling to let go when they saw him. The scumbags started a small-scale brutal fight.

Most of Allen's cavalry came from the nomadic kingdom of Kujit. It can be said that they have lived on horseback since childhood. Very few are well-trained and powerful Swadian knights. In terms of combat effectiveness, they are absolutely Not weaker than the Dongyi people.

Not only that, but Allen also provided the cavalry with enough sophisticated equipment and sufficient horses so that they could give full play to their combat effectiveness on the battlefield.

During the battle with the enemy, Fatis did not act recklessly, but made full use of the advantage of the enemy's openness and darkness, and divided two hundred cavalry into several small teams, relying on the configuration of one man and two horses, so that his men would not Save horsepower, run quickly on the plain, block the direction where these Dongyi cavalry may escape, and after surrounding the enemy, launch an attack to encircle and wipe out all the enemies.

Using this way of fighting, Fatis led the cavalry and successfully wiped out these Dongyi cavalry squads with only a few casualties. It is difficult for the Dongyi people to make any waves.

Due to the extreme lack of horses, the Dongyi people did not have too many cavalry troops, and they fought large-scale battles on the plains. They actually preferred to use chariots rather than cavalry.

After all, it is more convenient to ride horses to carry out investigation work and hunt down captives, so the Dongyi people sent nearly ten teams and hundreds of cavalry at that time. The Dongyi people on war horses lost them again.

After the cavalry sent by the Dongyi people were killed by Fatis, the plain became quiet again, and Ashur, who hadn't seen his cavalry come back for a long time, knew that something was wrong, this area must have appeared A third-party force disrupting the situation.

But he did not send more cavalry to investigate the situation in the wasteland. Since he was stationed on the east bank of the Hongshui River, he has lost two hundred cavalry one after another. Obviously, in the field of cavalry, Ashur He also knew that he might not be able to defeat the third-party forces disrupting the situation in the wilderness.

But Ashur's advantage is also obvious, that is, there are a large number of tribes. As long as he ignores the cavalry's harassment, the enemy will have nothing to do with him. task given to him.

So he ordered the few remaining cavalry to conduct investigations not far from the camp, so as not to be killed by enemies who did not know where they came from. blind.

At the same time, he accelerated the speed of attacking the human stronghold again, venting his anger on those northern humans hiding behind the city walls.

Sauron did not expect the 1 Dongyi people led by Ashur to wipe out the dwarves of the Lone Mountain, the elves of the Black Forest, and the humans living in the Anduin Valley. The task he gave Ashur was very simple, as long as Just wipe out the northern humans living in the east of the Black Forest and the north of the River Run, and then occupy there.

After thousands of years of contact, Sauron clearly knew that Thranduil, an otaku, could not take the initiative to expel the Dongyi people who were entrenched in Rovanian.

Sauron's calculations were accurate. The woodland king, who cared too much about the lives of his relatives, would not let the elves out of the Black Forest when he was calm. The terrain there was not conducive to the fighting of the elves at all. He was more inclined to meet the enemy in the forest. Or defend in a strong fortress.

The dwarves have just taken back the Lonely Mountain from Smaug. They don't have enough energy, strength, or even motivation to deal with the Dongyi people. Of course, the premise is that the Dongyi people don't take the initiative to provoke the dwarves. This is also the real reason why Ashur did not attack the Iron Hills.

It's just that Sauron didn't consider the friendship between Aaron and Thorin. When the time is right, Ashur will inevitably face the joint attack of humans and dwarves.

In the communication between Sauron and Ashur, he told Ashur that the only enemies he needs to face are the northern humans, or the human soldiers under Allen, but their number of soldiers is not enough at all In order to pose any threat to the tribe of the Baltra people.

So in Sauron's view, the task he handed over to Ashur was a very easy task. In fact, it was indeed very easy. In just one month, Ashur led his tribe to live with the The humans in the north of Nian launched a decisive battle. As long as the iron wall town is broken, the Dongyi people will successfully seize control of this land.

At that time, the Dongyi people entrenched in this area will not only be able to monitor the movements of the Lone Mountain Dwarves and Black Forest Elves at any time, but also greatly restrict the development of northern humans. Sauron, who has been hiding in Dor Guldur for thousands of years, Naturally, he knew the potential of the Anduin Valley. It was impossible to develop a great kingdom like Gondor or Arno in the long and narrow land there.

Originally, after Sauron attacked the Lonely Mountain, he put all his energy into rebuilding Barad-dur and the friction with Gondor. In his mind, there was only Gondor, the human kingdom, plus life. The elves in Lothlórien, Rivendell, and Lindon were his opponents.

As for other rotten fish and rotten shrimp, Sauron didn't care at all. Even if he lived in the Kingdom of Rohan in Karen Nathon, Sauron just looked straight at it a little bit.

However, Azog's defeat in this battle on the Lonely Mountain was too embarrassing, but the forces of humans, dwarves, and elves did not suffer much loss. In addition, Sauron's power in the Misty Mountains was greatly reduced. Dol Guldur's forces were wiped out, so the Dark Lord who had returned to Mordor had to take a good look at these northern forces.

Sauron has never given up on the idea of ​​rebuilding the Wu Kingdom of Angmar, so when the time comes, the kingdom led by the three guys Alan, Thorin, and Thranduil will definitely become a stumbling block to stop him, so Sauron just He gave up the idea of ​​sending the Nazgul to assassinate several leaders, and instead sent the Baltras to occupy the eastern region of Rovanian.

In fact, Alan, who is familiar with the plot, has vaguely guessed what he did, which may have caused Sauron to notice him, and triggered a chain reaction of the Dongyi people attacking Rovanian, but he has no regrets. Even if it happens again, Allen will still do his best to deal with that war, saving his friends, as well as those elves and dwarves who might not have died.

Now, after Fatis wiped out the cavalry squad of the Dongyi people, he led his cavalry to catch up with the rescued hundreds of northern humans, escorted them all the way to Changhu Town, and handed them over to the people who were there. The dwarf Balin who organized the construction of the camp.

At the suggestion of Balin, Sorin stationed an elite army of [-] dwarves on the shore of Long Lake, and there were many young dwarves here, helping Balin build a camp that was good for defense.

The humans who originally stayed near Changhu Town to farm for a living also participated in this work under Alan's order, and Alan also asked Fatis to take the extra charge of managing these townspeople. It can be regarded as letting him show his face in front of these people first.

After all, after Changhu Town is rebuilt, these are the townspeople he will manage. Getting familiar with them now will be beneficial for future work.

And these northern humans who escaped can also get a job in the hands of Bahrain, get the supplies and food they survived, and after the construction of Changhu Town starts, they can also get a place enough to survive in the newly built town , can be regarded as temporarily settled down.

Allen, who was still waiting for the Dongyi people to attack on the dense forest road, soon got the preparation information of the Dongyi people from the messenger sent by Fatis.

Allen, who couldn't wait for the Dongyi people, sent out the cavalry long ago. He even took the regrouped guards and scouted around the Runliu River. However, the surrounding area was very quiet and there was no There was no trace of the enemy, but a few fleeing human teams with hundreds of people.

Allen got some news from these people. At the location of Honghe Town, a Dongyi tribe has already begun to live there. They directly occupied the town and sent slaves to continue to live in the surrounding land. Farming, as if he has already regarded it as his own territory.

As for the small gathering places not far from Honghe Town, they felt that they would be discovered by these Dongyi people sooner or later, so they also packed up their belongings, followed in the footsteps of Malhebi and the others, and quietly came to Ai. Lun is here, hoping that Allen can take them in.

This is naturally not a problem. Allen has already dispatched most of the soldiers to the location of the dense forest road. The various tasks in the wilderness town are urgently needed to supplement the labor force. With Hank and his hundreds of people, there are also these northerners who have fled. , just to make up for this.

As for Malhebi and his people, they started to build a new town at the location designated by Allen. There are too many of them, and the current wilderness town can't accommodate them.

Jamila, who has been guarding in the wilderness, will naturally arrange these things properly. The problem facing Allen is that he does not have enough troops to rescue Iron Wall Town, which is under siege, but he cannot just watch those Northern humans die.

That night, Allen stayed up all night.
