The riding and chopping simulator of the Lord of the Rings

Chapter 64

At this moment, anyone with a bit of military common sense would know the situation of the battle in Gushan, and the decisive battle was just around the corner.

Allen, Bundak, and Gandalf led a human and elf mixed force of about 1000 people, waiting for the west of the half-orcs.

Especially the human troops, their strength is weak, although their morale is not bad, but everyone looks tense. In the cold winter, their faces are covered with sweat, and the hands holding the weapons are so hard that the veins on the back of the hands are exposed.

To the east of the half-orcs, there are nearly [-] human cavalry led by Fatis, and about [-] dwarf cavalry led by Dyne, and three dwarf chariots.

Occupying the eastern hillside, they stared at the orc army, always ready to deal a fatal blow to the enemy.

To the north of the half-orcs is a shield formed by a mixture of more than 1000 dwarves and elves. They have been fighting the half-orcs for a long time on the frontal battlefield.

However, their fighting spirit was still strong, and under the leadership of their respective kings, they stood in front of the half-orcs without any fear.

At this time, Allen, with his personal guards and two skin-changers, was arguing with Thorin Oakenshield and Thranduil about when to launch a decisive battle.

The current battlefield seems to be the calm before the storm, and the commanders of both sides seem to be waiting for the other side to strike first.

Allen didn't know what Azog was thinking, but he knew that the longer the time dragged on, the better it would be for him.

After all, on this battlefield, most of the soldiers of our side who can still stand still have been fighting fiercely for a long time.

At this time, even if they can rest for an extra minute, the recovered physical strength may allow them to survive the next decisive battle.

At this time, Azog's half-orc troops have all come out of the tunnel. There are nearly [-] Uruk and a dozen trolls.

They gathered in the open space in front of the tunnel, forming a dense square formation of three, one big and two small.

Under the order of Azog, more than 1000 Uruk soldiers, armed with long-handled weapons more than two meters long, lined up in three rows to guard the east of the half-orc phalanx, guarding against more than 600 soldiers on the hillside. Mixed cavalry.

As long as the enemy dares to charge, they will entangle them with flesh and blood.

The remaining more than 6000 people formed two extremely dense square formations, one large and one small, facing the two long snake formations of the coalition forces.

The smaller ones number just over 1000, and they will be responsible for entanglement of mixed elves and dwarves.

The larger ones have 5000 people, and they will be responsible for attacking the formation composed of humans and elves.

It seems that the width of the two sides is about the same, but the half-orc phalanx is much thicker than the long snake formation of humans and elves.

A large group of Uruk soldiers stood in front of them, which put great pressure on the soldiers of the coalition army. Under such circumstances, the elves and dwarves could still support them.

But Allen's subordinates are mainly spearmen and shooters composed of forest residents. At this time, some people can't bear the huge pressure and are slowly retreating.

At this time, Allen, with his personal guards and two skin-changing men, had already followed the phalanx formed by dwarves and elves, and came behind the human soldiers.

Allen knew that his soldiers were the weakest part in this battle.

Sure enough, Allen, who had just stood still, discovered this situation immediately, and he shouted loudly behind the team.

"Keep your ground and don't take a step back."

After hearing Allen's shout, the officers in the team had already begun to stabilize the confidence of the soldiers.

Coupled with the fact that their lord was watching from behind, these soldiers could regain their spirits and stabilize the formation.

Allen, who saw all this, quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

The current situation is so tense, if one's own soldiers collapse without fighting, the chain reaction will probably lead to the failure of the entire battle, and no one will be able to survive by then.

But Allen can also understand them. Facing an enemy whose number is several times larger than his own, he can regain his spirit. They can already be said to be very good fighters.

And this kind of psychological oppression is also within the scope of Azog's consideration.

Even if he wants to use more troops to defeat each of them, he will not allow the enemy's infantry to join together. As long as they are, he will give orders to charge directly.

Previously, Azog and the human commander had tested it once or twice, and both sides knew that a move would mean the beginning of a decisive battle.

Now, under Azog's order, Uruk has formed a very dense formation.

Azog believed that when the final battle came, the Uruk's dense impact would also bring greater pressure to the enemy.

After all, the arrows of humans and elves have been exhausted, and Azog no longer worries about the enemy's covering shots.

If Uruk soldiers can break through the enemy's formation and surround them in the next battle, Azog can already declare victory in this battle.

No matter how bad it is, they can reach a stalemate and wait for the support of the Second Army.

The orc leader had also considered whether to form a loose formation and directly surround the enemy's long snake formation from both sides.

But the more than 600 cavalry of humans and dwarves stared at the half-orc troops.

The range that the more than 1000 Uruk soldiers with long weapons could intercept was not enough.

So Azog gave up the idea, thinking that the dense formation would be more beneficial in the ensuing battle.

However, Azog was still a little puzzled, he couldn't figure it out, aren't these humans, elves, and dwarves afraid of death?
Why did he take the initiative to walk out of the city wall and choose to fight against himself on the plain?

Although shrinking in the city wall will inevitably lead to death, but at least you can live a little longer.

You must know that he has three times as many troops as theirs, and all of them are Uruk. On the battlefield, one Uruk can hold five northern half-orcs.

Not to mention that there are more than a dozen trolls.

Although he couldn't figure it out, Azog didn't hesitate for too long.

He slowly raised his arms, opened his mouth with a smirk, and was about to give the order to let Uruk and the ogre charge. He wanted to completely crush the enemy in this attack.

Just when he was about to say "the whole army attacks", some figures suddenly came into his eyes, they were some blue, white and golden figures.

This discovery made Azog's eyes widen, and in an instant, his heart fell into panic.

For a while, he even forgot to give the order.

Just when Azog panicked, Lord Elrond led the elves who came to support him, turned over the mountain, and suddenly appeared behind the soldiers of Uruk.

Along with Lord Elrond, there was also Legolas who came to support his father.

The elf prince, after receiving news from the orcs, gathered the few elf archers in the woodland kingdom.

He rushed towards the Lonely Mountain without rest, and gathered with Lord Elrond's troops on the way.

As soon as they appeared behind the enemy, they quickly rained several waves of arrows on the half-orc phalanx who hadn't reacted.

The dense formation of the half-orcs at this time caused them to suffer heavy losses under this wave of long-range strikes from the elves, and directly fell more than 1000 Uruk and most of the trolls.

The Uruks, who were suddenly attacked, fell into panic.

Immediately afterwards, a dull horn sounded from Raven Ridge, and Azog issued a new order. He actually didn't let the Uruk soldiers fight to the death with the enemy in front of them.

The black Uruk actually began to break out in the direction of Raven Ridge along the large gap in the center of the two long snake formations.

Yes, Azog on Raven Ridge gave the order to break out. After seeing the support brought by Lord Elrond, he subconsciously thought it was a trap.

After all, he himself has the same idea, and the more than 2 armed Snaga will arrive soon.

Azog, who was a little flustered, suddenly felt that the commander opposite him was so good, and he had exactly the same idea as himself.

Moreover, the situation on the battlefield at this time has also undergone subtle changes.

Originally, Azog had nearly [-] fresh troops in his hands, but he still had an absolute advantage against the nearly [-] exhausted soldiers of the coalition forces.

But it is different now.

After the troops he gathered were hit by the arrow rain, there were only more than 6000 people left, while the number of the coalition forces increased to more than 5000 after receiving support.

Under the ebb and flow, Azog's advantage in numbers was only a few hundred people left.

Azog knew that this kind of person was not an advantage at all, because the fighting power of the elves surpassed Uruk by a lot.

On the current battlefield, the combined strength of humans, dwarves, and elves actually surpassed Azog at this moment.

Faced with such a situation, the pale orc gave up the decisive battle and gave the order to break out.

Azog was afraid. He was afraid that Lord Elrond would lead the elves who came to support him and go straight to Raven Ridge and break through his headquarters, so he gave the Uruk soldiers an order to break out.

At this time, Alan, who was running towards Raven Ridge with his bodyguard and skin-changing man, knew that Azog had lost the frontal battlefield when he saw this scene.

Allen believes that if Azog gave the order to fight to the death, then the more than 6000 Uruk might cause a lot of trouble to the coalition forces.

But in order to retain some strength, Azog, or more precisely, the half-orc commander hoped that these Uruks could hold the road to Raven Ridge.

Azog has no choice, he doesn't want to retreat, he has another powerful hole card, and he can rush to the battlefield immediately.

But Alan won't give him this chance. Relying on the super speed of the elf horse, he has already rushed to the foot of Raven Ridge in a short period of time.

Yes, as soon as Allen saw Lord Elrond, he knew that the opportunity to kill Azog had come.

Although he was very surprised to see Lord Elrond's support, because it was not at all the same as the plot he knew.

But Allen reacted in an instant, realizing that this was an opportunity to change the situation of the battle, he roared, and rushed towards Raven Ridge with his elite
Because Allen knew that the appearance of Lord Elrond must have attracted all of Azog's attention. If he doesn't go at this time, when will he have to wait?
Immediately behind Allen was Sorin Oakenshield with more than 20 elite cavalry.

Apparently the dwarf prince thought the same way.

At this time, Azog did not realize that there were already two teams rushing towards him.

In fact, he was cautious, surrounded by hundreds of elite guards, and several trolls were also on standby at this place.

All his attention is now on the frontal battlefield, or more preparedly, on the support army brought by Lord Elrond.

As an excellent commander, Azog realized something was wrong after issuing the order to break out.

He was indeed scared at the time, afraid of Lord Elrond's army, and rushed directly to his position.

When the time comes, he can only be forced to leave his command post and retreat towards the rear, being chased and killed by the elves all the way.

In that way, when he left Raven Ridge, he also lost the ability to command another hole card.

At that time, the more than 2 Snagas in the north will have to fight on their own, relying on the discipline of those guys, there is almost no possibility of winning.

So in the end, he could only run back to the Misty Mountains in desperation under the protection of some half-orcs, waiting for Sauron's disposal.

It's just that the Lord Elrond who came here didn't have this idea.

The Lord of the Rivendell's army set out the day after Gandalf left Dol Guldur.

Although they were half a day's journey behind Gandalf, and they were still on foot, they were all elves, and they ran extremely fast on the plain with light clothes.

In order to hurry, when they are tired, they sleep while running, and when they are hungry, they eat a little lambas, and only when they have to, they will take a little rest.

They arrived at the lonely mountain in this restless gallop.

As a commander with rich battlefield experience, Lord Elrond saw the current situation clearly the moment he climbed out of the mountain.

The coalition of humans, dwarves, and elves has less than [-] troops at this time, while their enemy, the half-orcs, has nearly [-] troops.

But I don't know why, but it was a phalanx of half-orcs, faintly surrounded, and I led more than 2000 troops, right behind the enemy.

Isn't this the situation of encirclement on all sides?This battle can be fought.

So after a little preparation, Lord Elrond gave the order to shoot.

After several rounds of arrow rain, Lord Elrond decisively led his soldiers down the hillside towards the largest half-orc phalanx.

At this time, the Uruk soldiers were already in a panic. They were attacked by bows and arrows, and they easily found the elves who came to support them.

Part of the largest phalanx of Uruk soldiers had already fought with the elves brought by Lord Elrond.

But there are also some Uruk soldiers who survived the bow and arrow attack, their hearts are full of fear at this time, and they know that this battle may not be won.

Especially with Azog's order, this part of Uruk immediately rushed towards Raven Ridge.

This kind of action directly stimulated more Uruk. It didn't take long for some half-orcs in this phalanx to be unable to maintain the basic formation.

Driven by fear and orders, they frantically rushed towards the gap between the coalition forces.

Their goal is Raven Ridge, which is located in the middle of River Valley City and Lonely Mountain Kingdom.

Allen noticed this situation immediately, and he and Bundak quickly exchanged a firm look.

Afterwards, Elaine held up the three-star crown flag in his hand, shouted "Charge", and took the lead leading hundreds of human soldiers, rushing towards the half-orc phalanx that was ten times larger than himself.

The elves standing with them also followed closely under the call of the elves' horns.

The coalition of more than 1000 humans and elves slammed into the west of the half-orc phalanx.

At the moment of contact, they caused huge damage to these Uruk soldiers who wanted to leave here.

This made the enemy army, which was barely able to maintain its formation, even more chaotic, and faintly showed signs of collapse.

And the phalanx formed by elves and dwarves also rushed towards the enemy army in front of them.

On the one hand, they want to prevent these people from retreating, on the other hand, Thranduil has already sounded the horn to charge.

This is a signal for a decisive battle between Dyne and Fatis
Although Dyne is not very used to Thranduil, he also knows that this is the best moment,

Riding on a wild boar, he raised his war hammer, attracting the attention of all the dwarven cavalry, and then shouted "Sons of Durin",
In the echo of "Fight for the king", together with a group of dwarf cavalry, from the uphill in the east, they ruthlessly plunged into the orc's pole troop.

Followed by nearly [-] human cavalry led by Fatis, they formed a frontal formation after starting.

At this time, Fatis, the commander of the cavalry, charged at the front of the team. He was wearing a barrel helmet and a sleeveless plate armor. He was riding an armored horse and holding a flag gun in his right hand. , rushed toward the enemy.

Beside him are dozens of heavy cavalry in similar dress, forming the pointed part of the front arrow array.

Behind the heavy cavalry, there were hundreds of Kujit riders, some of them took out a throwing gun from behind, and threw it towards the enemy while galloping.

In an instant, a large number of Uruk soldiers died under this dense wave of spear throwing, which made their spear array sparse.

Afterwards, Fatis and the heavy cavalry around him slammed into it.

The huge impact directly pierced through the already sparse formation of Uruk soldiers.

The light cavalry who followed followed Fatis along the gap and rushed towards the north without stopping.

These cavalry waved their weapons and charged towards the more than 1000 half-orc phalanx that were fighting elves and dwarves.

Under this wave of impact, the half-orc phalanx immediately began to collapse, and the surviving Uruk soldiers began to flee frantically, being chased and killed by the elves who entangled them tightly.

Some half-orcs even ran towards the tunnel, but were chased by the scattered light cavalry and killed on the way to escape.

The dwarven heavy infantry was no longer maintaining the shield formation, but rushed towards the Uruk spearmen who were entangled with the goat cavalry.

The elf sword and shield fighters who cleaned up the enemies in front of them, under the command of Thranduil, rushed towards the large phalanx of orcs, and then slammed into their east.

At this time, the half-orc phalanx, which originally had 5000 people, was completely disintegrated in the face of attacks from three directions.

In order to survive, they were already broken into an army, and all ran towards the gap in the northwest.

However, how could the more than 500 cavalry on the field allow them to escape smoothly?
Death, sooner or later, will befall these running Uruk soldiers.

　This is today's update, thank you all for your support, thank you.
