Chapter 115 The Battle Begins

Generally speaking, a night attack in a war does not mean quietly killing the opponent while the enemy is asleep in the middle of the night, but that the attacker uses some means to make most of the sleeping enemies Suddenly frightened, resulting in chaos, the attacking party takes advantage of its own preparedness, with a more organized formation and more adequate weapons and armor, to start a one-sided massacre against the panicked enemy.

This kind of tactic is not to be used at will. First, the soldiers attacking one side must be elite. First of all, they must be able to see at night. Otherwise, the army that was originally gathered together will disperse before the war occurs. .

Second, it must be a battle-hardened veteran, who will not affect the mood of one's own side due to the chaos around them, and can calmly and calmly kill those unorganized but frantically running around enemy troops, and I can't get out of the team yet.

Third, the intelligence must be sufficient, and it is necessary to know the basic situation of the enemy camp.

The dwarves possessed all of the above, and it was almost evening when Allen returned to the dwarf camp from Thranduil's camp.

After Balin and Dyne learned that the elves had agreed to their plan, they began to organize the dwarf warriors in the camp to prepare for the battle. Because it was a surprise attack tactic, there was not much movement in the camp. The dwarves kept their eyes on the camp of the Dongyi people, so why didn't the Dongyi people keep their eyes on the camp of the dwarves?

Any unusual movement in the dwarf camp at this time is tantamount to telling the Dongyi people that I'm going to fuck you, so get ready.

In order to prevent the Dongyi people from knowing their plan in advance, Balin and Dyne finally decided to bring only [-] of the most elite dwarf veterans, and each issued a black cloak to cover them The plate armor glowed under the moonlight. After all, dwarves were the weakest of the three races in short-distance speed bursts. Although their short legs made their lower plates stable, they also prevented them from moving quickly with their legs.

Then for them who cannot move quickly, concealment becomes extremely important.

In the eyes of the young people, the dwarf veterans are silently making various preparations for the war. For them, this is just a small episode in their long life.

For dwarves, age can definitely be used as a representative of combat effectiveness. Their physical fitness will reach its peak at the age of 40, and then this peak period can last for 200 years or longer. This period of time is enough for them to fight their own battles. The skill has been honed to the level of a master.

Until ten years before the dwarves die, their physical fitness will decline rapidly, and their appearance will also rapidly age, but they will not appear bald from the beginning to the end. Of course, the premise of this situation is that the dwarves are diligent. Exercise instead of obsessing over good living and good food.

One of the more interesting examples is that two members of the expedition team were bald, and one was Duvalin. His baldness and battle patterns on his head were caused by his own interest, not due to disease or physical fitness, because Duvalin He lived to be 340 years old. It can be said that he was a very long-lived dwarf in this period of the third era. This may also have a lot to do with him being a member of the royal family of Durin.

Because most dwarves attach great importance to their beards, but not so much to their hair, so Duvalin's behavior is not particularly strange. If you are in a city in Middle Earth and see a man with thick hair, But the adult dwarf who is smooth and beardless, then you have to pay attention, he is probably not a serious dwarf, such as a guy who has a crush on elves and can eventually capture the heart of a female elf.

However, there is another person in the expedition team who is also bald, and that is Bombur, the fattest dwarf in the expedition team. The obesity does not affect the actions of the dwarves. At this time, Bomber is quite flexible and reliable in battle.

However, in Alan's memory, because of the large amount of wealth he acquired after the Battle of Lonely Mountain, Bumbur lived an extremely luxurious and luxurious life in his home in Lonely Mountain. In 3018 of the third era, Bumbur He was already so fat that he couldn't even walk around by himself. At that time, he had to be carried by six young dwarves with all their strength before he could barely walk around his home.

It can be seen how terrible obesity is for dwarves. From this, it can also be seen that although dwarves have good resistance to evil, they are not much different from other races when it comes to good things.

Seeing the dwarf warriors who had begun to silently prepare for battle, Allen also gathered his men together. At this time, the cavalry who followed Allen to the camp had rested for a whole afternoon, because they were on their way. And the fatigue caused by it has been swept away.

As for Allen, since he started practicing "Qi Skills", he has rarely experienced physical fatigue. This "Qi Skill" practiced by Allen even has a good recovery effect on his spirit.

But Hermione and the other twilight knights, with their strong physical strength, didn't care about this little bit of fatigue at all.

In his barracks, Allen informed the captains of his various cavalry squads of the plan so that they could prepare for battle in advance.

Time is advancing minute by minute in the preparations of all parties. When it was just dark, Allen began to let his men leave the camp one by one. After all, no matter how human the horses are, They may also make some big movements during the operation, one or two is fine, if they are gathered together, it is inevitable that they will not attract the attention of the enemy.

These cavalry will march ten kilometers south along the edge of the forest, where there will be prepared woodland elves to meet them. These cavalrymen of Allen are all from the Kujit people. Their living standards were very poor before, and some Many have night blindness, but since following Allen, not to mention the level of diet, it has suddenly increased to a certain level, and night blindness no longer exists.

Guided by the moonlight, after they left the camp for a certain distance, they began to drive their horses to gather at the designated location. Allen was the first to leave the camp, and he had to make some preparations at the gathering point.

By the time Dyne led [-] dwarf warriors to the assembly point prepared by the woodland elves at midnight, Allen had already left with his men through the bridge prepared by the elves to scout Dongyi. people's situation.

Thranduil used the magical boat to prepare a very stable temporary bridge in the river in a very short time. If the bridge is no longer needed, just move the boards on the boat, and then move the These flat-bottomed boats will do just fine.

Being able to prepare so many ships so quickly also benefited from Allen's information. The elves, who are always ready for support, have prepared quite a few ships.

At this time, the dwarf and elf troops crossed the rushing river through this bridge, and started to head towards the camp of the Dongyi people. They would arrive before the camp of the Dongyi people when the star of hope was shining.

Hamish and Kulda, who are warlords of Dongyi, have lived a very good life during this period of time. Most of the work Ashur assigned them recently was very easy and rewarding.

Although according to Ashur's request, half of the slaves and trophies obtained should be handed over, but how much is half is still up to them.

As long as it is not too outrageous, of course, the premise is to share a piece of the pie and give it to Ashur's emissary.

They are already familiar with such things, and these two are also well aware of why Ashur asked them to act a day earlier. Due to Ashur's strong strength, coupled with the recent period of time, they have indeed gained a lot. Because of the benefits, the two did not argue too much, and obediently walked the road ahead together, and arrived at the east bank of the Long Lake with both feet, and set up their respective camps here.

The Dongyi people's camp was actually very simple, part of it was formed by the chariots they drove close together, and the other part was made of the wood they plundered, plus the slaves working day and night, and then surrounded by A huge circle, everyone lives in this circle, there is no quality of life to speak of, most of the slaves sleep close together, even the soldiers don't have much space for activities.

The advantage of this kind of camp is that it is very fast to set up. For the Dongyi people who are proficient in practice, they can set up the camp in a very short period of time, but the disadvantages are also obvious. The protection effect of this kind of camp is relatively poor. As far as the prepared enemy is concerned, it is very easy to break through.

It's just that the camps of the Dongyi people are often extremely crowded, and the fierceness of daring to attack the enemy with a knife is enough to make up for the shortcomings of the camp's lack of defense.

Usually, the camp of the warlord or the leader will be in the center of the camp. On the one hand, the center is the safest place, and on the other hand, it can also make it easier for them to gather their troops.

Under the warlord, there are naturally lower-level managers, usually called the commander or the banner. Their number is not fixed, it all depends on the trust of the warlord or the chief (that is, Ashur) in you For example, as one of the warlords, Akkad is one of Ashur's bannermen. Of course, no matter how much he was trusted and valued by Ashur before, at this time he has been sat down to death by Grimm. .

Being able to become warlords, Hamish and Kulda are naturally not rookies who don't know anything about warfare. When they first established the camp, they built a very high arrow tower in their own camp. The wide and long lake kept a close eye on every move of the dwarf camp. At the same time, they also sent out their own few cavalry to patrol along the river and around the camp.However, because the cavalry is too scarce, their patrol frequency and range are nothing to the cavalry led by Allen.

During the day, when Allen led more than 100 cavalry into the dwarf camp, the two men were still nervous for a while, and they got together for a long time during dinner, but after seeing that there was not much movement in the enemy camp , so he let go of his vigilance, and instead got together and drank fine wine.

In fact, the relationship between the two of them is very good. If there is a chance, they will always get together for a drink, but in order to avoid Ashur's fear, they will always sneer at each other in front of their leaders. The method was not clever, and Ashur knew that the relationship between the two of them was not as bad as it appeared.

The two of them drank until after midnight before returning to their respective campers to rest drunk. After all, it was not easy for them to travel a long distance to get here. When Ashur arrived tomorrow, it would not be as convenient and free as it is now.

However, compared to Hamish, Kulda is more careful. Before falling asleep, he ordered his soldiers to strengthen the defense to avoid any problems at night in the camp. It’s just that he was a little dizzy and forgot to let his family The soldiers went to inform Hamish to do the same.

At this time, Alan led the cavalry and had already wiped out the scouting cavalry on the periphery of the Dongyi people. Their number was too small to fight against Alan who was leading the Twilight Knight. , Their short exclamations before they died did not have the effect of warning the others in the camp.

Soon Allen led his men and approached the camp of the Dongyi people.

Although the relationship between Hamish and Kulda is very good, the camps of the two of them are still arranged separately, one in the south and one in the north on the east bank of the long lake, but they are very close to each other, and the two gates are separated by only Less than two kilometers away.

The first thing Allen faced was Kurda's camp. At this time, according to the leader's order, the Dongyi people were patrolling the walls of the camp with soldiers holding torches. Once the dwarves and elves approached, the enemy should be very crowded It will be able to react and organize to deal with the dwarf raid.

And the cavalry archers under Allen could not clear all the Dongyi people on the wall in a short time. Allen felt that the camp in front of him could not achieve the best raid effect, so he decisively led his cavalry to bypass After leaving the camp in front of us, we went to the Hamish camp further north.

The defense of this camp was much sparser. After clearing out the surrounding cavalry patrols, Allen arranged for Horimion to keep an eye on the surroundings, while he followed the original path and found Dyne who was leading the troops forward. and Thranduil.

After explaining the enemy's situation, Dyne also agreed to use Hamish's camp as a breakthrough point. With the support of the elves, three hundred elite dwarf warriors were enough to deal with the panicked Dongyi people.

Thranduil said that his soldiers would hide in the dark and keep an eye on the situation in another camp. If the enemy provided reinforcements, the thousand elf warriors led by Thranduil would attack the enemy. Deadly sneak attack.

If there is no movement in the other camp of the enemy, Thranduy will also lead his soldiers to join the ranks of attacking Hamish's camp.

After the first camp was broken, the two sides worked together to break another camp.

Although Dyne was a little dissatisfied with the result, considering his previous promise that the dwarves would charge at the forefront of the attack, and that this was a surprise attack, the [-] dwarf warriors were enough to deal with such a battle, so he nodded. agreed.

After the dwarf army slowly approached the enemy's camp without the enemy noticing, Thranduil's army had disappeared into the night. Alan didn't know what method Thranduil had used, and had already made a surprise attack When he was near the Hamish camp, he couldn't care so much anymore.

"let's start"

Following Allen's order, Horimion and the Twilight Knights who had dispersed and galloped around the entire camp pulled out the Noldor Rune bows in their hands one after another, and shot and killed the soldiers patrolling around the camp.

At the same time, behind them were cavalrymen holding fire oil cans. They galloped along the edge of the camp, throwing the fire oil cans in their hands into the camp, or throwing them into the camp wall. Chariots and wooden walls, and finally cavalry with torches, ignited these oily places.

They, with more precise throwing skills, were assigned this task by Allen.

This kind of movement naturally aroused the reaction of the Dongyi people in the camp, not to mention the soaring flames that followed, and soon the expected chaos appeared in the camp of the Dongyi people, and at this time they were already close to the Hamish camp. The dwarves at the gate formed their proud army formation based on the current situation.

"Boom"

With a loud sound, the wooden gate of Hamish's own camp was blown to pieces by Bahrain's increased dose of flash bombs.

"Sons of Durin"

With a roar, Dyne led the dwarves behind him and rushed in.

The sound of shouting and killing soon resounded through this once peaceful night.
