Chapter 175 Counterattack

When the afterglow of the setting sun was still able to cross the Misty Mountains, the orders of Allen and Cirdan had spread throughout the team.

The heavy cavalry under Allen gathered into small conical formations one after another under the shouts of their respective officers.

Forming squads without gathering together allows the cavalry to move more flexibly.

After all, their opponents are the Wargs who serve the Dark Lord, with a flexible body shape and the ability to turn back quickly.

If the heavy cavalry gather together, a bloated and huge team will easily be played by intelligent enemies.

The use of a conical formation, which is suitable for charging and encroaching, can make the impact of the heavy cavalry stronger and disperse the wolf team faster.

In order to ensure the survival rate of the heavy cavalry, Allen replaced all the cavalry with spare horses, and equipped the horses with full armor, which can effectively protect the whole body of the mounts and deal with the enemy. The bite that rushed over.

As time slowly passed, more than a dozen small conical formations composed of heavy cavalry slowly pounced on the wilderness.

The cavalrymen tightly held their two-meter-long heavy lances, their faces as calm as water. Allen's cavalry subordinates were composed entirely of Swadian knights and Kugit cavalry, and there were hardly any northern humans.

Here and now, let alone rushing to countless wolves with many allies.

Even if Allen ordered them to charge behind and break through the phalanx composed of tens of thousands of orcs alone, they would go forward without hesitation.

At this time, Allen was riding his elf horse, doing the final pre-battle mobilization before the battle.

But the language spoken is extremely concise.

"Fighters of Rovanian, charge with me."

Allen, who was talking, raised the spear in his hand, and took the lead in rushing towards the approaching wolf.

And as the bright voice floated in the sky, Barron, who was carrying the crowned and three-star flag, took out a bright silver horn from behind, and when the king's flag fluttered in the wind, the tune representing the charge also echoed in the air stand up.

At this moment, following Allen on the left are twenty well-armed Griffin Knights holding extended lances. Their physical fitness and excellent combat skills far exceed ordinary people, allowing them to use their lances like arms at high speeds. Make finger.

And the Griffin Beast they stepped down has better endurance and speed, and can fight for a long time wearing full armor.

On Alan's right is the Metten Daredevil Swordsman holding a super-long giant sword. They are keen on fighting to the death, so naturally they cannot be left behind.

The main weapons in the hands of these swordsmen are too long to be swung on horses at all, so they use their strong and powerful arms to control the big swords in their hands to the right side of the horses.

In fact, there is no need to swing it at all. Under the high-speed movement, the sharp Pande sword is enough to cut through any enemies that stand in front of it.

But just in case, Allen still prepared a knight long sword for each of them, so as not to be attacked by a wolf in the chaos.

Of course, Allen didn't think that the wolf's teeth could bite through the thick armor of the Daredevil Swordsman, but it was just to protect the horses.

At this time, the right wing of the heavy cavalry was [-] goat cavalry led by Feili. As dwarves living in the mountains, their battles on the plains were not as fancy as humans, and Alan did not give Feili any suggestion.

This was the first time that the heir of Lonely Mountain commanded the battle independently. Under Philip's order, the dwarf cavalry just formed a loose and casual formation, and then rushed out with Allen's cavalry.

The thick-skinned and well-equipped dwarves are not afraid of this level of battle at all. Once upon a time, under the order of the king, they dared to charge the infantry phalanx with a number ten times larger than themselves.

Before the war, these loyal and valiant dwarves just needed an order.

And all the cavalry archers under Allen's command, including the two hundred elite elves led by Legolas, slowly followed after the heavy cavalry charged.

They will use the bows and arrows in their hands to clean up the wargs that leaked from the formation of the heavy cavalry, and protect the backs of their teammates while cleaning up the enemies.

And Kress, Grimm, and the young Aragorn followed the knight apprentices and followed at the end of the team. They protected a large number of spare horses and the supplies on the horses' backs.

Aragorn expressed disagreement with such an arrangement, while Grimm and Kress showed reluctance, but Alan forcibly suppressed them.

Although Kress and Grimm were not arranged on the front line, the task of protecting supplies and spare horses was equally important.

This is all the property that Allen saved with great difficulty. If it is ruined by the wolf like this, it will be so heartbreaking.

As for the young Aragorn, Allen handed over the command of all knight apprentices to him, and the task he gave him was extremely simple. He only needed to follow the comrades who were charging ahead, stand out from the siege of the wargs, and then run straight forward, away from the The battlefield will do.

Young Aragorn accepted Alan's command, and all Dúnedain had no objection to it.

On the left wing of the human heavy cavalry is a large number of elf cavalry. The weapons they hold are very complicated, that is, they have two-meter-long long-handled weapons similar to crescent knives, and they also have simple spears.

There are also long swords, giant axes, war knives, bows and arrows. Under the command of Cirdan, the elf cavalry galloped forward in a loose but rhythmic formation. Can't quite understand the meaning.

And Cirdan did not charge at the forefront of the team like Allen did, but stayed at the back of the team.

This arrangement is entirely because Cirdan can accurately send his voice into the ears of any elf on the battlefield, and then with his sharp eyes, he can make adjustments to the clansmen in battle at any time.

It's just that with the passage of time, only a few elves can use this ability freely, and the well-known one is the lady of the Golden Forest, Galadriel.

At this time, Allen, who was charging at the forefront, was getting closer and closer to the enemy, and the wolves who were mixed in the wolf pack, of course, also found their prey, and launched a counter charge against themselves.

This situation did not make them cautious, but even more excited. The evil magic that Sauron applied to them had the effect of faster speed and better endurance.

It also made these wolves more fanatical about fighting, and at the same time made them more irritable and cruel, but this effect also offset the natural cunning of the wolf nature.

Howling sounds one after another came from the mouths of the alpha wolves. The wolves formed a very loose formation to intercept the enemy. Wolves of varying numbers.

Some wolf packs have more members, with four or five hundred wolves, and some have fewer members, about a hundred or so, but no matter how many they are, they all face humans and dwarves with a fearless attitude. , The elves' troops rushed over.

Soon, Allen's eyes were full of dense wolves. He couldn't help but quickly glanced from left to right, but he didn't see the edge of the wolves.

But what became more and more clear in the eyes were the bloodthirsty eyes of the warg, the ugly face, and the filthy teeth.

At this time, Allen's heart was calm, and his left hand, which did not hold a weapon, flashed seven or eight times in a short moment, and one after another chain lightning without any power, frantically in several dense packs of wolves Running, directly disrupted the pace of the wolves' charge.

Then, a running pack of wolves rushed to Allen's eyes, and the wolves at the front of the team surrounded Allen, baring their foul-smelling teeth.

Facing the attack of the warg, Allen's heart was extremely calm. Under his operation, the extended lance held tightly in his right hand first pierced a wolf that was trying to jump up from the neck, and then turned to the left After swinging the lance, another ugly head that attempted to attack the elf horse's chest exploded.

In the end, he violently raised the lance with the wolf hanging on it, directly hitting an enemy with its mouth open in the air, leaving only a short whine in the air.

In a short time of contact with the enemy, Allen solved the three wolves.

However, Alan did not rush out from the pack of wolves, and of course the enemy's attacks would not stop. At this time, a wolf spotted the gap between the weapon in Alan's hand in the air, and flew over from the left, opening his mouth wide At the same time, a stench came out.

Allen, who was moving at high speed, immediately noticed the movement of the wolf. At the moment when the enemy flew over, he quickly stretched out his left hand wearing the gauntlet, and grabbed it directly in the air. The opponent's throat.

With a "click", the wolf in Allen's left hand collapsed, and the bloodthirsty light in his eyes had long since disappeared.
While completing this set of actions with his left hand, Allen also dropped the lance in his right hand and pulled out the Noldor Rune Sword at his waist. With the flash of the sword, any warg who dared to approach his right side would be punished. Fatal blow.

As for the wolf corpse in his left hand, Allen also aimed at the densest place in the wolf pack and threw it out directly, knocking over several running wolves.

The wolf shadow passing by Allen was easily beheaded by the Griffon Knights guarding his sides and the Mettenheim Desperate Swordsman.

Although the Griffin Knights are all young people of the new generation, their equipment, horses, and training methods are no different from those of the old Pendor Royal Knights. The Menorees must be strong.

And the Mettenheim Desperate Swordsmen, who were about to seek death on the battlefield, had the title of "Mad Dogs" in a world like Pendor's, and they were completely humanoid war machines.

It's just a pack of wolves, nothing compared to the battles these elite fighters have experienced.

At this time, whether it was the human heavy cavalry under Allen, the goat cavalry of the dwarves, or the large number of elf cavalry, they all directly collided with the huge pack of wolves.

Human heavy cavalry with heavy lances in their hands, the moment they come into contact with the wolf, the weapons in their hands have been harvested, but their power is not as powerful as Allen or Griffin Knights, and they can directly use weapons with The lance of the wolf corpse continued to fight.

Most of their choices were to throw away the complete or broken lances in their hands, and pull out the knight's long sword with their backhands. While resisting the pounce of the wolf with the shield in their left hand, they used their sharp swords to kill the enemies who approached them. .

At the same time, he kept whistling to appease the horse, so as not to panic when the mount faced the wolf.
What is gratifying is that the Kujit people are very proficient in how to train war horses, and the riders have equally superb memory of riding horses, so under such harsh conditions, these horses can barely maintain their strength under the comfort of their partners. calm.

The most important thing is that the vest carefully crafted by the dwarves faithfully protects the front half of the horse, and the pounce of the warg cannot cause any damage to them. During the impact of the wolf, it took advantage of its weight and maintained its shape better.

However, there are too many wargs. Although a large part of them rushed through the small conical formation formed by the heavy cavalry and were killed by the cavalry archers following behind, there were also many wargs under the influence of dark magic. Desperately blocking the charge of the human cavalry, slowing down their charge speed.

And when Allen led the guards around him and rushed out of the thick pack of wolves, only a few of the dozen or so conical formations rushed out.

"Blow the horn, let everyone come closer to me, charge again, charge again."

Seeing this scene, Allen immediately gave the order to assemble, and the urgent horn sounded at this time.

Just as Allen assembled his soldiers, a small group of dwarves also rushed out of the wolf pack at this time.

Most of the other dwarves, of course, also stayed among the wolves, but the dwarves are brave, courageous and indomitable warriors. Even if they fall off the back of their mounts, they can react in an instant and wave Weapons fought with the rushing wolf.

At the same time, amidst the constant shouting, they moved closer to the clansmen who were also surrounded, forming small battle groups one after another, resisting the attack of the wargs.

And at this time, it shows the advantage that the army is all elite. The dwarf warriors wear excellent armor made by themselves, and there are almost no weaknesses except for the position of the throat.

Even the legs, elbows, and underarms are covered with delicate and soft metal grid armor, and the weakness at their throats is entirely left because they can't deal with their beloved beards, otherwise These dwarves could even be armed to the teeth if they had to.

Such excellent armor, coupled with the dwarf's good melee skills, leads to the bite and pounce of the warg, which is difficult to effectively threaten the life of the dwarf. Of course, the goat that the dwarf steps down is not so good. , They were seriously injured in this charge, and very few of them could lead their riders out of the pack of wolves.

However, the wargs don't have enough time to completely kill the bighorn sheep that have no ability to run, because those dwarves who fall to the ground will pierce their dirty fur with spears and short swords containing anger in their hands in an instant , and take their lives.

And with the sound of "Sons of Durin", the dwarves trapped among the wolves gathered together, standing like a silver reef in the black waves.

All dwarves are better at fighting on foot than riding on goats.
