Xiaodong, who was stopped, looked left and right, and after making sure that the other party was calling him, he hurriedly ran over.

"Logistics camp, logistics corps No. 556..."

"Alright, grab this halberd and stab the enemy behind the shield!

Xiao Dong was trying to explain that he was not a combatant, but he was directly disrupted by the small officers on the front line, and then threw Xiao Dong a heavy halberd, the total amount of this halberd is not light, but fortunately, the militia that can be selected are extremely good reserve soldiers, and their existence itself has the role of zero hour as a supplementary soldier.

So this halberd Xiao Dong can still swing it, although Xiao Dong really wanted to say something more, but under the gaze of the dead fish eyes of the officer, he could only swallow his saliva, and then walked towards the front of the battle.

It was a small group, about two hundred garrison soldiers, and they formed a formation, with the shield-bearers at the front, forming a small wall against the Mordor soldiers who were constantly rushing out from the front, and behind them, many musketeers kept raising their guns and aiming, searching for their own enemies, and then pulling the trigger.

At this close range, the lethality and accuracy of this large-caliber musket are not to be said, even the strong orcs are only dead under this shot, and with the addition of firearms to the battle, the battlefield is gradually shrouded in smoke, which makes the two sides of the melee more chaotic, the coalition may still be able to maintain a small team formation, but Mordor only has a bunch of people gathered together, crashing around on this battlefield full of gunpowder, killing humans when they bump into humans, and killing elves when they bump into elves.

Bang~

With a gunshot, a strong orc who had just walked out of the smoke with a blank face fell to the ground, and then, there was a more intensive gunshot, which strong orc was behind a large number of Mordor orcs who suddenly rushed over, Xiaodong just came in, he walked to a halberd hand position who was pushed down because of injury, although the halberd can also be used with one hand, but after all, it is not as powerful as with both hands.

Xiao Dong watched a group of Mordor soldiers rushing out to the ground like wheat, nervously holding the halberd in his hand, after the first group of Mordor soldiers fell, there was a louder noise and roar from the smoke, if someone moved the orc language, then they would hear clearly, what these orcs said:

"Rush, the human has shot once!"

The problem of the slow rate of fire of the musket was mastered by Mordor as soon as the battle began, so Mordor's front-line commanders were able to seize such an opportunity, and sometimes even deliberately put some suspicious soldiers in front to attract fire.

The musketeers nervously loaded their guns, while the shield bearers pushed their shields into the ground, waiting for the enemy in the smoke to appear, and finally, first there was a shaking black shadow, and then a large number of orc soldiers rushed out, which were mainly half-orcs, but there were more than ten strong orc soldiers, and the total number of opponents was about five hundred.

"Thorn!"

Xiao Dong, who was extremely nervous by the tragedy of the battlefield, heard the command that suddenly came into his ears, and subconsciously stabbed out his long halberd, it could clearly feel that it had stabbed an object, and the sharp halberd tip effortlessly broke through the hard shell of the object's appearance, and entered his soft body, and then, the body automatically sent the halberd out, well, it can also be understood as going backwards.

After assassinating the first enemy, Xiao Dong finally came back to his senses, at this time there were countless fierce attack shields in front of him, and the half-orc soldiers who would look after jumping up the shield, the shield halberd veteran in front calmly held the shield, so that most of these half-orc attacks did not take effect, and the halberdier in the back continued to stab out the war halberd, accurately harvesting a Mordor soldier with one.

Xiao Dong took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the impulse in his heart, and then stabbed out his war halberd, completely piercing the head of an unlucky half-orc soldier outside the shield wall, and after another entry, Xiao Dong finally stabilized, recalled the skills he usually trained, and started the battle steadily, Xiao Dong would not find out, the commander who forced him in was nodding with satisfaction with his back.

...

Xiaodong's battle lasted until late at night, and the battle between the two sides was originally fought at dusk, so it was completely dark after a while, Xiaodong and their position was replaced by a pair in the rear, and they could finally retreat and rest, millions of troops, there is still a rotation mechanism, but this mechanism seems to only exist in the coalition army, Mordor's rest is to rest in place, and then rest almost to continue the attack, and while they are resting, other soldiers who have not received the rest order will continue to attack。

But these don't seem to have anything to do with Xiaodong, a bonfire crackles and burns, a steel helmet that I don't know where to find hangs on the bonfire, and some canned meat soup is burned in it, and the resting soldiers use a pried open canned can as a bowl for zero hour, eating one bite at a time, not Sven, but the daytime battle makes them really have no appetite.

Xiaodong also drank the soup silently, took a soup spoon and dug out a piece of meat from time to time and sent it into his mouth, chewing slowly with the same taste as chewing wax, and in the cold night, only the bonfire made him feel a trace of warmth!

A person suddenly sat down next to him and threw him a package, Xiaodong looked at it, his eyes lit up!

"In the afternoon the man was still dead, not saved, the crossbow arrow shot under his armpit and into the heart, the problem was not serious, but I accidentally pushed the arrow into it a little, his heart jumped, and then it couldn't beat!"

In the afternoon, after the medic sat down, he took out a bowl of broth from his helmet, ate the meat in a big gulp, chewed it violently, and drank a large mouthful of hot soup, but Xiaodong felt a little frightened by his words, the medic next to him was such a person, who would not be frightened? The medic felt nothing, and after swallowing the food in his mouth, he seemed to feel that it was not enough, so he went to fill a bowl again, this time, his speed was a little slower!

"This is the armor that the captain asked me to send you, and the captain said that you did well this afternoon, and applied for a field promotion for you from above!"

The medic said, and suddenly turned his head to look at Xiaodong:

"You are now a glorious soldier of the garrison!"

After the medical soldier finished speaking, he suddenly stood up and saluted Xiaodong: "Respect the garrison soldiers, I am Jace from the medical logistics team, it's a pleasure to meet you!"

Jace's words made Xiaodong embarrassed for a while, he hurriedly waved his hand to say something, but he felt as if he had nothing to say, and after a long time, a sentence suddenly popped up:

"You should have been here longer than me, why haven't you been promoted yet?"

Xiaodong was just a simple doubt, but Jace was suddenly silent for a moment, then lowered his head and ate a bite of meat, and smiled self-deprecatingly: "The captain said, when I save someone, he will give me a promotion!"

When the embarrassed Xiaodong heard this, he could only bow his head and drink the soup, pretending not to know anything...

Early the next morning, Xiao Dong, who was wearing a brand new set of armor, stood in the middle of the team, and his covered face under the peeping made him seem to be no different from his comrades around him at this moment, and in front of them, the captain was loudly announcing:

"Received an order from our superiors, we will launch a wave of counterattack at noon today, after the north wind blows, and the 200,000 people of Mordor who were put into the middle yesterday by night and gunsmoke, and now they have entered our interior, we will launch a fierce attack from the right flank, and together with the dwarves on the left flank, the enemy troops who rushed in will be completely surrounded!"

The captain's words made Xiao Dong and them roar excitedly, this kind of battle is a major advance to the final victory in their opinion, and the dwarves on the left flank will also attack at the same time, although they don't know how many enemies there are inside, but in Xiao Dong's opinion, the Mordor soldiers who can't be killed must have been sent by most of them!

After clarifying their tasks, Xiaodong began to pack up, insisted on their weapons and equipment and then assembled to the right flank, Xiaodong walked in the team, and suddenly glanced at the rear line, who would have thought that at this time yesterday, he was still a logistics soldier with an annealing powder barrel in the back?

...

"After yesterday's battle, the first batch of 200,000 Mordor has been put in, and Elby has added 100,000 people in order to cut through our defense line, and now there are at least 250,000 Mordor troops in the entire inner line!"

"So it's a quarter of Mordor's army?"

Qi Yan's eyes were fanatical and looked at the obviously recessed formation on the sand table, in which, there was a dense Mordor banner, and the left and right flanks of the coalition army had begun to slowly show a situation of encirclement, perhaps sensing that something was wrong, after the smoke of gunpowder dissipated slightly this morning, Elby suddenly stopped the attack, and instead began to build some improvised defensive lines, while resting the troops.

And the army behind Mordor is also in an ordinary move, at least six wolf cavalry brigades have been assembled, as a rapid support force, ready to support the front line, for these situations The coalition forces are also in control, but this does not kill their desire to encircle and annihilate the 250,000 Mordor army, as long as the 250,000 people are encircled and annihilated, plus yesterday's 50,000 people, Mordor will lose 300,000 people, nearly a third of the army, as long as this battle is successful, the enemy's combat power will be completely changed, and the combat power of the coalition army will be far greater than that of the other party.

It is no exaggeration to say that victory is imminent!

There is no objection to this battle, because these 250,000 orc soldiers advanced too much last night, and the coalition army only needs one charge to make the armies on the left and right flanks turn around, and surround the 250,000 Mordor soldiers, and these 250,000 people who have lost external resources, or even only need a day of siege, are enough to greatly reduce their combat effectiveness, and then an attack on all fronts will collapse.

If all goes well, the whole program will only take two to two and a half days.

Even the steady Liebert thought that this plan was quite feasible after repeated deductions, and made a large number of plans and operational resolutions for this purpose.

"Yes, a quarter of Mordor's army has been assembled here, and we are going to annihilate this army next!"

Liebert affirmed, then continued:

"We have gathered no less than 200,000 troops to attack from the left and right flanks, and the dwarves on the left flank will also be supported by us, and for the sake of speed, we will use a large number of knight brigades, one is to open the way for the infantry, and the other is to prevent the six wolf cavalry brigades assembled in the rear line of Mordor!"

Speaking of this, Libert watched as the staff officer put the badge representing the knight on the sand table, and then said:

"Today, we are very likely to see the largest cavalry duel in the history of Middle-earth!"

...

Xiao Dong's team was not many at first, but as they got closer and closer to their positions, more and more coalition troops continued to gather along the way, and even the entire road behind was full of endless coalition soldiers, Xiao Dong even saw a few advancing teams composed of elf soldiers, the number of people gathered made the soldiers more courageous, but compared to these, they paid more attention to the shocking scene in the middle of the road.

Far larger than the infantry of the knight legion, countless imperial knights and horses are wrapped in steel, at this time like a wave of steel, the sound of dense horse hooves constantly remembers, looking towards the back, almost invisible to the end of the knights, for this battle, Lelouch almost mobilized the entire imperial knights.

"Oh my God, how many Imperial Knights there must be!"

"Isn't that all too much?!"

"Looks like I'm really going to do something today!"

The soldiers of the garrison watched this scene in amazement, and even the captain was slightly stunned, except for the battle priest who was still marching forward with his head held high with a big bald head and a white battle suit, the entire team was almost looking at this knight brigade, and the elves were no exception.

This large-scale movement of the coalition forces is naturally impossible to hide from Elby at the top of the mountain, in fact, Elby has already begun to prepare when he first began to assemble in the morning, and he has even begun to slowly withdraw the troops, although Elby does not think that the coalition army can eat his own 250,000 people, but he still carefully chose to withdraw some troops, and Elby feels that he can't tell who surrounds whom!

The left and right flanks of this assault can be regarded as gathering a lot of troops of the coalition army, if they can take advantage of the situation to surround them, will the balance of the battle be completely tilted in favor of themselves?

No matter what kind of thoughts the two sides have, this offensive battle launched by the coalition forces is inevitable, and both sides are ready for this fight, the coalition forces want to eat the 250,000 people, and Elby wants to make the 250,000 people the deadliest poison in the coalition army, and take the lives of the coalition army in one fell swoop.

The first full-scale confrontation between the coalition forces and Mordor has begun!
