The riding and chopping simulator of the Lord of the Rings

Chapter 257 Contact
Bits of icy rain began to fall from the dark clouds, and then were transformed into icy knives by the raging winds in the mountains, leaving bursts of piercing pain on the tense faces of the soldiers.

And this didn't make the soldiers who were waiting in battle close their eyes, because they were staring at the half-orc army rushing towards them from the steep slope in the north. The gray-black tide filled the entire hillside, Sina Ga scurrying among the rocks with a crude weapon in his hand, while making an ugly hissing sound.

There are also a lot of Uruk among them. They are well-equipped and have complete armor. The weapons they hold are either pitch-black hammers or hideous and terrifying clubs. Farther away, there is a wolf cavalry watching the battle. Human warriors all know that these cruel and cunning things must be waiting for an opportune time.

The rain was falling harder and harder in the howling wind, and the team of half-orcs was getting closer and closer to the human army. What was faster than the half-orcs was the rain of black arrows shot by hundreds of Snaga archers. Under the washing of the rain, the waves of pitch-black arrows also had a stench and an unpleasant smell.

Obviously, some kind of unknown poison was fed on it, maybe it was the excrement of orcs.

However, facing the long-range attack launched by the orcs, all the human soldiers just raised their left hands to tightly protect their unprotected faces, and did not make any other movements other than that.

Human soldiers really shouldn't make too much movement. At this time, the half-orc's forward troops are already approaching them. If they disrupt the formation that they have finally stood up because of avoiding the rain of arrows, then they are likely to be in the next at a disadvantage in the battle.

Because the number of enemies is too much, like a steady stream of tides, only by forming an formation can we gain an advantage in battle.

The rain of black arrows shot by the condescending Snaga archers is very precise. Their bloodthirsty and cruel eyes revealed a greedy look, watching the poisoned arrows fall on the human soldiers one after another

These guys expect this wave of attacks to kill enough humans so that they can improve their food at night. Even if it's meat, they don't want to eat their own kind every day, not to mention that humans taste more oily.

"Ding" "Ding" "Ding".
However, the result far exceeded the expectations of these half-orcs, because after the arrows hit the blue armor, they just made a little noise in the heavy rain, and then fell to the ground in vain.

The rough iron arrows didn't even leave any marks on the human armor, let alone caused any decent damage.

Seeing that their shots had no effect, these Snaga archers threw away the black bows and arrows in their hands, and took up short knives to join the attack.

In fact, they are no longer able to shoot again, because the black bows in their hands are made with water-soluble glue refined from animals or plants. If they are forced to shoot multiple times in heavy rain, the injured may be It's not necessarily who it is.

Half-orcs with limited intelligence may not understand the truth contained in it, but the tragic events that happened in the past will provide them with some experience, allowing them to make the right choice at critical moments.

The human archers protected by the spearmen in the middle do not have these concerns. The longbows they hold are weapons crafted by the woodland elves. These skills from Valinor are suitable for most of the weather.

Soon, after the "shoot" command, a rain of arrows shot out from the human formation, nailing the charging half-orcs to death on the hillside. The constant tumbling, sometimes even becomes an obstacle for the follow-up troops to run.

It's just that there are too many half-orcs, and a wide crescent-shaped front is gathering on the hillside, gradually surrounding the human soldiers who are waiting in formation. Such an enemy army can't stop their approach just by relying on archers .

"Ow"

After a howl of wolves that pierced the sound of the rain, the half-orcs, relying on their numerical advantage that was several times greater than that of humans, stepped forward and charged.

Although the long-range attack just now left seeds of fear in the hearts of these scum, the new leader's actions have established a certain prestige among the half-orcs, so after receiving the order, these dark minions are still desperate launched a fierce attack.

Due to the dark clouds and heavy rain, more than half of the light from the sun was blocked, which made the light between the mountains extremely dark. The morning that should have been very bright now seemed to be the dusk before the sun set, and with the The half-orc's charge, the little light that remained seemed to be getting dimmer.

"Hoo! Ha!"

The heavily armed soldiers standing at the front of the line watched the approaching enemies and gave out neat shouts, which encouraged the morale of the comrades behind them.

After all, most of the soldiers holding spears in their hands were citizen soldiers, and they still had less combat experience. The only continuous battle was the one that expelled the Dongyi people a few years ago.

Although before they set off, they had already learned from the king that there was a high possibility of a battle in this operation, and they had also made sufficient psychological preparations for it, but at this moment, facing an enemy several times their own, There is still some tension in my heart.

Gail, who was commanding the heavy infantry, obviously noticed this, so he led the soldiers to shout before the battle just before the battle.

Gail's worries quickly faded, however.

Because after they yelled, the surrounding light suddenly lit up, as if someone had ignited a pile of inspiring flames in the dark, dispelling the tense atmosphere that enveloped the soldiers.

Naturally, it was Allen who stood at the front of the line who lit the fire.

In the eyes of many soldiers, facing the boundless enemies, His Majesty the King slowly stretched out his right arm wearing silver armor, as if he was calculating something.

And a few seconds later, a pillar of fire tens of meters long like a dragon's breath suddenly appeared in the heavy rain, starting from the formation on the left of the orcs and sweeping all the way to the right, after a distance of several hundred meters, it disappeared into the heavy rain. It was as if it had never been there.

However, hundreds of half-orcs who were covered in flames and screamed were telling all the soldiers who were about to start the battle that what happened just now was by no means false, and that the fire that was still burning despite the cold rain was The side proves the truth of all this.

Not to mention the hundreds of charred half-orc corpses, silently telling everyone that the temperature of the flame is hot enough, at least it is more than enough to burn half-orcs to death in the heavy rain.

The sudden appearance of the flaming hell stopped the half-orc's charge. A well-informed guy who was not young even rubbed his eyes with the back of his dirty, fluffy hand because he suspected that Just now, a fire dragon flew over from the sky, and even spewed dragon's breath towards its own side very strangely.

This is not in line with common sense. All orcs know that the dragon is their ally. Even most reptiles with huge bodies and strong scales look down on the half-orcs who are getting weaker and weaker, but it has never happened. With things like today, even if it breathes fire, it should burn the concentrated human beings.

However, Lagash, who was watching the battle from a distance, saw everything clearly. He had just become the leader of the orcs, and he had seen a lot of magic when he followed Azog, but what happened before him still made him My heart was full of astonishment.

As far as he knows, the dark lord who hid in Dol Guldur more than ten years ago is also a master at playing with flames. There are relevant information in the rumors circulating in the dark area. He crushed Elendil, the former High King of the Numenoreans to death, while the other hand spewed out flames, burning to death the High King of the Noldor, Gil Galad.

But compared with the scene in front of him, the legendary Emperor Sauron seems to be inferior.

After a brief absence, Lagash still asked his partner to issue an order to continue charging, because he knew that this was the orc's last chance.

As early as when the human soldiers came out of the forest and set foot on the Gray Mountains, Lagash learned all this from the mouths of the wolfs scattered throughout the mountains, and he also concluded that this human army was the reinforcement of the dwarves.

Of course it is the reinforcements of the dwarves. Lagash is a half-orc who participated in the Battle of the Lonely Mountain. He knows that the humans and dwarves in the north are almost sleeping in a cave.

Today, although there is no more direct conflict in the battle between the orcs and the dwarves, it is going through the most important moment. For Lagash, whether he wins or loses depends on the last month.

If he can't stop these humans from continuing to go up at this time, it means losing the initiative in this battle. After the formal meeting between humans and dwarves, he can only retreat to Mount Gundabad with his men in desperation , competed with that bad-minded Arag for the leader's position.

Moreover, Lagash can't guarantee that losing the Gray Mountains will cause the Dark Lord's dissatisfaction.

Although he was only a recently elected leader, Lagash feared that the black knights riding monsters would probably not consider this, but would swing their terrifying steel swords and chop off their own heads.

Even for his own life, he wants to work hard, not to mention that after victory, Lagash still has a great hope to become an existence like Azog.

You must know that a half-orc leader who is trusted by the Dark Lord is almost equivalent to one person under one person and over ten thousand people in the north. Such a huge power is a fatal temptation for Lagash.

However, no matter how the wolves howled, the half-orcs who were stunned by the flames seemed to have no desire to move forward. They spied on each other, as if they were waiting for the first warrior to appear. It is also possible that he was a deserter.

However, whether they are fighting or fleeing, they all need a role model, or an opportunity to change the situation on the battlefield.

The confrontation appeared strangely amidst the raging fire and cold rain, and the howling of wolves gradually approached the battlefield, making Lagash a little anxious.

At this time, Allen, who used all his strength to manipulate the flames, saw the fear in the half-orc's heart in his panting, but he did not give the soldiers who looked at him an order to charge, because this was a hillside, even if he The armor worn by his subordinates is not considered heavy, and it is impossible to catch up with the nimble half-orc.

The current situation has given Allen a little bit of other thought. If possible, he hopes to deal a heavier blow to the orcs.

In fact, based on his knowledge of Orcs and wolf cavalry, after stepping into this mountain range, Allen knew that his whereabouts had been spotted by the enemy.

Allen knows that dark creatures like wargs can be said to be very good scouts to a certain extent. They have human-like intelligence, a keen sense of smell, sharp eyes, and they occupy the high mountains themselves. No matter what, it is impossible to ignore the more than 1000 human beings.

Not to mention that Allen used his abilities from the beginning to indeed find the wolf cavalry near the team.

Therefore, as long as Allen wants to join the dwarves, then this battle is inevitable. The half-orc will definitely fight with him, but the fight must be skillful.

In order to prevent the half-orcs from ambushing him in some special terrain, Allen tried his best to avoid the team walking in extremely dangerous places such as canyons and cliffs, and asked Duvalin to choose terrain with a gentler slope to march, which cost the team a lot of time. Time, the mountain road is not easy to walk.

At the same time, Allen also sent all the Noldor Rangers and Twilight Knights to serve as scouts to increase the safety range of the team, that is, to tell the leader of the half-orcs clearly that if he wants to stop himself, he can only Initiating an upright battle, human beings will never step into the ambush circle of orcs.

And now the terrain for the duel is also chosen by Allen. He is certain that the half-orcs will launch a surprise attack here, because the terrain here is fairly flat, with an extremely wide hillside, and it is one of the few half-orcs who can show their strength. Where there is a quantitative advantage, there is also the advantage of defeating the low with the high.

As for the road ahead is either too narrow or very steep, small-scale conflicts are okay, but large-scale decisive battles are not acceptable at all, and Allen guessed that the purpose of the half-orcs was to destroy the supplies or drive his team out of the gray area. mountains.

This kind of purpose is just to block it, and it is impossible to do it, and time is actually on Allen's side, because it is closer to the kingdom of dwarves, and the movement made during the battle is likely to attract Thorin's attention. Orcs are more likely to get caught in front and rear flanks.

In other words, the dwarves may have discovered the movements of the half-orcs, and they are already organizing troops to plan a surprise attack. You must know that there are almost ten thousand half-orcs appearing on the hillside at this time, as long as Sorin does not particularly ignore the collection of information , you should be able to detect the movement of the enemy's large-scale march.

Therefore, Allen believes that the half-orcs need a victory that ends as soon as possible to ensure their advantage in the Gray Mountains.

If Allen commanded the half-orcs to complete this battle, then he would most likely choose this place under the current circumstances, and according to Duvalin's description, Allen believes that the half-orcs in the Gray Mountains have a certain command ability, and it is very likely Will make the same choice as myself.

Alan, who came up with this plan at the time, had no other choice. If the ravens and small animals were willing to fly in this mountain range, then he would not need to make such trouble. Under the guidance of the birds, he and Thorin's team Should be able to be easily put together.

Although it is said that the dwarves' supplies cannot get the large troops out of the defense zone, with the help of hundreds of dwarf warriors, Allen believes that the half-orcs will naturally give up attacking his team and retreat to the west obediently.

It's a pity that this mountain range has been eroded by dark forces for too long, and the smaller birds and ravens simply don't want to stay here for a long time. From the spy's mouth, Allen heard the panic of the small animals, and the raven Even in the voice of "quack", he said that he would be affected and become neither a bird nor a ghost.

And now, Allen's plan is considered a success, and things are developing as expected, and now he still needs a chance to reveal his last hole card, so that he can win this battle in one fell swoop.
