Chapter 114

In mid-April, summer, the sun is like fire.

Even next to a lake like Long Lake, Allen couldn't feel much coolness, because of the heat and humidity, he thought with sweat all over his face, the sun of Middle Earth is Laurel, one of the two sacred trees, before it disappears Let it bear fruit, and then Maier will drive the sunship to fly around Arda, and then bring warmth and light to the earth.

Then, since Arda is the center, and there is no saying that it revolves around the sun, why does there still have temperature changes throughout the year?Could it be that Arien changes the distance between the spaceship and the ground every once in a while, what is the picture?Cantonese request?

As a dwarf with extremely high tolerance to high temperatures, Bahrain with a natural expression, of course, does not have the weird ideas that Alan suddenly appeared due to the heat and humidity. This old man with white beard and hair is talking about the arrival of the Dongyi people.

"Three days ago, the first tribe of the Dongyi people began to enter our investigation range. One day ago, they were stationed in Changhu Town. The number of them should be around 4000. At that time, Qili suggested to the two of us that we should Take troops across the river and launch a surprise attack on these shaky fellows."

Speaking of which, the old man Bahrain smiled, and exchanged a glance with Dyne, while Dyne helplessly blew his gray beard, shook his head and said:

"Again, I reject such a proposal. The number of our fighters is too small, only 300, and most of the others are young men who have never been on the battlefield, and the enemy's second team will soon arrive. There are more than 3000 people, if we spent time and forcibly crossed the river to attack them, then we would have to face an enemy with a number of more than [-]."

At this time, Qili, who was sitting aside in embarrassment, seemed to have suddenly remembered something, stood up with frowns, and said: "I got news from other brothers today, what we are facing may not only be the point in front of us. People, there is another team not far from here, their number is even larger, and the sum may exceed the two tribes stationed on the opposite side of the long lake. At this time, they are also rushing towards us. It's a day's journey."

Allen, who was sitting on the side, synthesized the existing news, endured the heat in the house, and said to the three dwarf friends in front of him: "Gentlemen, according to the information I got, this time it is destined to be a difficult battle. The enemy is an entire tribe of Dongyi people. They are composed of five tribes. The leader is called Ashur, and the tribe to which they belong should have nearly ten thousand Dongyi people. Amish, and a dead Akkad."

Speaking of which, Allen took a sip of the already warm ale in front of him to relieve the thirst caused by talking, and then, under the watchful eyes of the three dwarves, he took out a wooden barrel specially for holding maps from his arms , took Rovanian's map from it, and spread it out on the table.

Afterwards, Allen pointed to the location of Long Lake Town and said: "Now, the three tribes of Ashur, Kulda, and Amish have already stationed near Long Lake. According to the news I got before, their number should It is about 5000 people, but after occupying this area."

Allen's hand paddled from Long Lake to Hongshui River.

"Their number has obviously increased, and it should reach about 8000 to [-] now, but we don't have to worry, the increase should be the captives of the northerners, and I have seen them with the northerners before." In a single battle, the loss is at least a thousand or more."

Allen said as he licked his chapped lips and continued: "According to my observation, every time they move, they bring everyone in the entire tribe, including slaves and soldiers' families, and all the soldiers they can take out are not There are not more than 1 people, probably between 7000 and 8000 people, and the enemy we actually have to guard against is about 6000 people."

In fact, after a period of observation, Allen knew that most of the male members of the Dongyi people, except for the very young children, would go to the battlefield. The three of them, Ashur, Kulda, and Amish The young and middle-aged men of this tribe, together with the slaves who are willing to fight for them, can barely make up an army of 8000 people, and they suffered a lot of casualties in the battle in Iron Wall Town, so they are roughly in their early seven thousand now.

More than 4000 of them should be under the control of Ashur, and more than 2000 are under the control of Kulda and Amish.

Moreover, according to Allen's understanding, young women from some tribes of the Dongyi people also receive military training, and they often stay in the camp with the old and young to protect their homeland from enemy attacks, so Allen When calculating the strength of the Dongyi people, they are also counted, so Allen's estimated strength is 8000.

After all, with them guarding the camp, Dongyi male soldiers can go out to fight with confidence.

After talking about the situation on the Changhu side, Allen pointed his finger at the location of Honghe Town, and continued: "At this location, there are also two Dongyi tribes here. According to the information I got , the number should be around 5000, and they have already regarded this place as their own land."

With that said, Allen moved his finger to Heidelberg's position again.

"At this time, my people are here to guard against their attacks. Sorry, I can't bring too many soldiers here to support you. I can only provide some information as much as I can. So everyone, the above is my current situation. I know all the information related to the Dongyi people."

Qili, Bahrain, and Dyne looked at the map and fell silent, and then the three discussed.

It is unacceptable for the three dwarves to be blocked at the door by so many Dongyi people. The young and impulsive Qili proposed to attack the Dongyi people when they first settled down, but was finally stopped by Dyne. It is indeed very dangerous. The Durin dwarves who have experienced the Battle of the Five Armies are no longer able to bear too many casualties.

Moreover, in the place of Long Lake, the Woodland Kingdom is the strongest. There are at least two thousand elf warriors hiding in the forest at this time. If Thranduil can be persuaded to send them out to fight together, then it will definitely be possible. Taking advantage of this day, defeat the enemies in front of you first, but the dwarves have no face at all in front of the elves, and Alan has to talk about this matter.

It was Mr. Bahrain who first suggested this to Allen. He didn't let Allen talk about it for nothing. He promised that as long as the elves were willing to fight, the dwarves could be the vanguard and stand at the forefront of the enemy. The elves only need to see the opportunity to join The battlefield will do.

Bahrain made such a promise, and of course he has his own plans. Now Allen's human soldiers need to defend the Dongyi people in Honghe Town, and it is impossible to leave. There are only less than 300 cavalry here in Changhu, and the dwarves are full of strength. Eight hundred infantrymen were gathered, and only [-] of them were real soldiers, and the rest were rookies who had never been on the battlefield.

Facing the Dongyi army of two or three thousand, this does not mean that they cannot fight. After the battle, no matter whether they win or lose, there must be not many people left. After all, the combat effectiveness of the Dongyi people is much stronger than that of the half-orcs in Misty Mountain. too much.

If Allen can persuade the elves to join the battle, then the force will be three thousand against three thousand, and the combat power of the 3000 people on the side is also much stronger than that of the Dongyi people. With the support of the elves, they can defeat the Dongyi people. The dwarves won't suffer too many casualties either.

In fact, Bahrain has long wanted to contact Thranduil, but the relationship between dwarves and elves
Anyway, Balin felt that none of the dwarves present could speak in front of Thranduil. Even if they did, they would probably choke without three words.

Now that Alan is here, it is necessary for Alan, a friend of the elves, to negotiate with Thranduil. Then during the negotiation, the dwarves naturally need to make some sacrifices, so after communicating with Bahrain and Dyne, they made the decision. A promise that can act as a pioneer.

After hearing Bahrain's proposal, Allen was a little stunned. Allen, who was the weakest of the three forces, had never considered the idea of ​​launching an offensive at this time. He had always thought that anyway, he had With the help of the simulator, after ten or eight years, the strength will soon surpass Ashur, and when the time comes to contact the dwarves to fight back, they will definitely be able to defeat the enemy.

As for the elves, Alan never thought of persuading Thranduil. The chances of success are not high, and according to Alan's estimation, the combat effectiveness of the two sides at this time is actually about the same. If they take the initiative to attack, even if they can win, then Neither Thranduy nor Thorin nor himself could bear the loss.

There is really no need to pay such a painful price for a temporary win or loss.

But at this time, he felt that Bahrain's proposal might be the best choice at the moment. About 160 dwarven hoplites, combined with a large number of elf archers, and his own [-] cavalry, could be used when the enemy was not fully assembled. When it gets up, it's likely to hit a brilliant win.

And I don't know why, Ashur didn't rush to Changhu Town at the same time as the two warlords under his command, but staggered in the middle for less than a day. Isn't he worried that his troops will be killed after they are separated? Break each one?
Ashur, who was torturing the prisoners in Iron Wall Town at this time, was really not worried about this kind of thing. According to the information he got, the relationship between elves and dwarves was very bad, and it was unknown whether they could barely stand together for defense, let alone Said to unite to attack his troops.

Moreover, Ashur asked Kulda and Amish to leave for a day first, and he also had his own ideas. He didn't believe that the only people in Iron Wall Town were these young adults, and their families must be hidden in places he hadn't found yet.

Ashur is bound to win these slaves. With the growth of the power of the warlords under him, his strength must also increase more and faster, otherwise he will be easily united by several warlords Overthrowing the rule is not uncommon in Loen.

The weak eat the strong, the fittest survive.

However, now that his cavalry unit is suppressed by unknown third-party forces, it is difficult to carry out large-scale search work in the wasteland, so Ashur, who wants to obtain a large number of slaves, can only spend time prying the mouths of those captives up.

At the same time, let Kulda and Amish take the first step, and they can also transfer to receive those slaves as soon as they get the news, then Ashur, who arrived in advance at that time, has absolute ownership of allocating slaves, Whether to give it or not, and how much to give, are all up to him.

If Kulda and Amish were allowed to get the news at the same time through the spies in their own camp, then when the three families arrived together, Ashur would definitely allocate at least half of the slaves to his two warlords.

This is not the result that Ashur wants to see.

However, in Ashur's eyes, he was already equivalent to a slave in his palm, and most of them had been taken away by Allen.

And made up his mind to attack Allen of the Kulda and Amish tribes at this time, immediately said goodbye to the three dwarves, left the barracks in Bahrain, and then rode to the forest with a few guards On the edge of the city, find Thranduil, who is directing the elves' defense.

Faced with a large-scale enemy attack, the king of the woodland who had already formed an alliance with dwarves and humans naturally couldn't stay in his homeland and watch his allies fight to death outside.

After receiving Allen's message, he was already organizing the army of the Woodland Kingdom and began to deploy defense work.

At this time, Thranduil himself was stationed in the forest not far from the Long Lake. Now, such an elf king has already had a very obvious change in the senses of the dwarves. The host of elves gathered around him.

Such an arrangement can ensure that the dwarves by the long lake, when they are attacked, the elves can help them in time. It has to be said that Thranduil, the Sindar elf, is really very kind.

Alan's arrival, Thranduy was very happy besides being surprised. In his mind, Alan should defend the enemy's attack at that important position on the dense forest road. After all, after passing through that road, It is Allen's base camp, where tens of thousands of humans live.

It's just that unlike Thranduil who values ​​the lives of his relatives, although Alan is also concerned about the lives and property safety of his own people, he is more concerned about the outcome of the war, and the elves and dwarves cooperate together, Alan is actually worried. That's why he put aside the matter of the dense forest road and ran to the long lake.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that most of the enemy's army is in Long Lake. If Ashur is near the dense forest road at this time, Allen will definitely not leave there.

After the two sat down, they exchanged a few pleasantries, and Allen asked Thranduil to attack the enemy actively. Thranduil, who was holding iced white wine, did not come out after hearing such a request. Allen hesitated unexpectedly.

What Ellen thought was right, Thranduy was not willing to let his people go out of the Black Forest to participate in the battle. This is not the time to go to the Lonely Mountain to deter Thorin.

At that time, the expedition team led by Sorin had only a dozen people, and he led an army of [-] from the Woodland Kingdom. It was impossible for him to lose. The extremely disparate military strength did not even cause casualties to the elves.

At this time, there are as many as [-] Dongyi people on the opposite side of the long lake. Of course, it is still possible for the [-] elf troops gathered around Thranduil to defeat these Dongyi people. It can be said to be quite easy, but casualties are inevitable.

In the past, Thranduil had seen with his own eyes the battle between the Dongyi people, the northern humans and the dwarves in the Anduin Valley, and he had to admit that these dark humans who believed in Sauron had good fighting power.

Allen could naturally see Thranduil's hesitation, but he had to do his best for this proposal.

"Your Majesty, according to the information we have received, there is another group of Dongyi people with a larger number that is marching towards the Long Lake. When they arrive, they will inevitably attack us. If we can send Kulda and Ami ahead of time If it is defeated, then relying on Ashur's own strength alone, there is a high probability that he will retreat, and then this area will be safe. Now, the time left for us is running out, please make a decision as soon as possible."

What Allen said, Thranduil can also think of it. This is indeed the best time to launch an attack, and the dwarf also promised to charge on the front line of the battle, which made the elf king feel happy stand up.

Under Allen's eager eyes, Thranduil finally nodded: "Well, for our previous covenant, and the friendship between you and me, I accept this proposal. The time for the attack is set at In the wee hours of tomorrow, go back and get the dwarves ready."

After saying this, Thranduil thought about it again and said, "Leave me to deal with the matter of crossing the river."
