『Chapter error, click here to report』
When the army of porcupine knights rushed straight into the junction between the dwarves and the coalition forces, a scene that may only be seen in Middle-earth appeared.
On the heavily armed knights, there are countless strong orcs with strange screams, and their opponents are countless dwarven goat riders riding goats and jumping quickly on the flat ground, with huge fangs against hard horns, and tall orcs against sturdy dwarves.
The Dwarves do not carry large heavy weapons like the Boar Knights, but use a lot of super long hair, and the Dwarves' strong physique allows them to wield these weapons that look far larger than them, in fact, Lelouch thinks this is normal, when your opponents are enemies with relatively long attack distances, will you choose a short weapon of average size, or a weapon that can greatly compensate for the distance between the two of you?
The choice of history will inevitably make the dwarves love spears and be good at spears, and the sword and axe can only be counted as a secondary weapon for dwarves in peacetime combat.
At this moment, at the moment when the two sides were hedging, a large number of dwarven riders jumped up suddenly, and the goat's powerful bouncing ability allowed them to stab their spears from top to bottom at a height even higher than that of the porcupine knights, and the originally short dwarves completely crushed their enemies in terms of attack distance and attack height at this moment.
The two sides collided fiercely, the orcs flew out with a wail, the first wave of the dwarves relied on their distance and height to show their advantage, and then in the next battle, their short stature allowed them to face the mace and axe wielded by the tall orcs on the back of the porcupine, even if the dwarves had strength not weaker than them, the goats under the crotch could not withstand the sudden blow of the full strength of the porcupine, and countless dwarves were knocked out by the porcupine rider like a golf.
This scene looks like a huge steel chariot knocking the river rushing all the way upside down and flying out, still relying on how fierce the river is, in which steel chariot's powerful horsepower and protection, it can only be constantly hit upside down.
In fact, this can't be blamed for these dwarven goat knights not being strong, it's entirely because the dwarven goat riders themselves are not prepared to fight on the plains, the dwarves still rely on their own powerful ground forces, and the dwarves' powerful strength makes them enough to use spears to resist any enemy, plus the crossbow arrows whose performance far exceeds that of other civilizations in Middle-earth, the dwarves are actually not weak in combat effectiveness.
In other words, if the environment of the battle between the Porcupine Riders and the Goat Riders were changed to the mountains, it would be these Porcupine Riders who would be slaughtered, but there would be no ifs on this battlefield.
The strong combat effectiveness of the porcupine knights made them slow, but extremely determined to advance their own attack line, they were like a long black cloth slowly separated from the dwarf's large array and the connection of the coalition army, this scene was noticed by the coalition forces and Mordor, Elby yelled excitedly, constantly thinking about where to increase the investment of troops, more and more orcs flocked here, at this time Mordor's strong numerical advantage is reflected, Elby can have an extremely large number of manpower, it can open the battlefield at this time while continuing to maintain the original positive pressure, but also can increase support for the new battlefield, Elby is expanding his advantages。
Lelouch looked at the dwarven phalanx that was almost completely separated, and his heart became anxious, if the dwarves were really surrounded, then the coalition army would not only lose its left flank, but also mean that Elby had the ability to transport troops directly to Lelouch's rear through the middle link, which meant that the coalition army was very likely to be attacked coldly.
This kind of encirclement and attack requires a large number of troops, but Mordor may really have the most advantage over the coalition army at this time, is their huge number, even if Mordor has just been annihilated by 100,000 people, they still have a huge army of more than 200,000 coalition troops, all Elby is thinking about at this time is how to send all his troops to the battlefield that can fight the enemy in the shortest possible time, because as long as Elby ensures that everyone on his side is fighting, then it means that the coalition army can only put 700,000 people into battle at the same time, and Mordor has 900,000 people。
Elby didn't believe that his army of 200,000 people couldn't defeat the coalition army, even if the air force was suppressed or even completely annihilated, but without the support of the ground, the less than 200 dragon vulture knights were just a fly that didn't hurt or itch.
"Your Majesty, our great High King sincerely asks for your help, we dwarves fought bravely, but in the end we were outnumbered and pierced by the shameless Mordor on the right flank, and we dwarves are about to be surrounded. ”
Harold had the foresight to send the herald to bring the dwarves a signal for help, in fact, this is just a show, after all, until now, Lelouch can see the harsh situation of the dwarves on his left flank as long as he is not blind, if he does not discharge reinforcements, then Elby will really be able to surround the dwarves, and even mobilize superior troops to eat the dwarves in one bite, and then, compared to the end of the coalition army, the loss of the entire left wing is an absolute blow to the combat strength and morale of the coalition army, in the face of the surging Mordor army, whether they can resist is a question。
So before the dwarven heralds arrived on goats, Lelouch had already begun to mobilize his troops.
"Don't move the cavalry team and reserve force on the right flank of the entire coalition array, gather all the cavalry teams on the left flank, remember that it is all the cavalry!"
Lelouch took the baton and pointed on the sand table, with his pointing, the cavalry on the left flank that was originally on standby moved, countless Imperial knights, Templars began to assemble, they are the backbone of the Lelouch Templar Empire, and they can be regarded as extremely powerful heavy equipment, the fire rain is far away from the porcupine knights are not so heavy compared to the porcupine knights, but they have a strong mobility and team strength that the porcupine knights do not have, if the dwarf goat knights have just been replaced by the Terran Imperial knights and the Templars, maybe the porcupine knights who are not many in Mordor will be consumed in a short time。
After giving the order to the cavalry on the left flank, Lelouch looked to the other side, and he directly mobilized the entire middle rank:
"The cavalry in the middle formation must also be mobilized, the dwarves have now gathered a large number of Mordor soldiers, and the strength close to the left flank can only penetrate it, but it is not enough to rescue the dwarves, this time I will send out all the standby cavalry in the middle except for the Holy Guard Knights, and I will completely drive Mordor out of the left flank in one battle!"
"Coupled with my centaur Khan guard, since we can defeat the army used by Mordor's left flank, then why can't we take advantage of the situation? Now Mordor has been fighting a bloody battle for a long time, and they are fighting for this breath now, as long as their right flank is defeated, then this breath will naturally dissipate, and we can launch a comprehensive counterattack from the left flank!"
Qi Yan began to speak at this time, and his proposal made the eyes of many people present light up, yes, the left wing is the turning point of Mordor, and it is also the turning point of the coalition forces, whoever can eat the other side's side will be able to grasp the initiative on the battlefield, Lelouch immediately affirmed Qi Yan's thoughts:
"Okay, you just do it, if the left flank succeeds in breaking through, I will lead the Praetorian Guards in the center to launch a general attack in the center. ”
Lelouxiu's affirmation gave Qiyan some confidence, what he was most concerned about in this battle may be Qiyan, as long as this battle is won, Qiyan and their centaurs will have room to live, if they lose, then what awaits the centaurs will be more miserable than humans and elves, and the centaurs may really become a thing of the past.
After Qi Yan gained confidence, he suddenly walked towards the command platform, and he said as he walked:
"This charge will be the one that will decide the battle on the battlefield, and I must make sure that we are not as simple as rescuing the dwarves on the left flank, but that our entire army can take advantage of the situation to rush out of the left flank. ”
Qi Yan walked off the platform without looking back:
"This time I'll take the lead!"
Thinking that this battle stood at the top of one of the few figures, Qi Yan decided to personally rush out, this charge will be led by the king, which is extremely exciting news for the entire coalition army, the cavalry team transferred from all over the entire coalition army is now all gathered together, their number is huge, and the fighting spirit is high, especially when Qi Yan appeared on the battlefield with a well-equipped, powerful centaur khanate escort, the fighting spirit of the coalition cavalry has been greatly improved.
Qi Yan stood at the front of the whole procession, he looked at the army of knights who covered the land, he took his guards, and the banner of the Centaur Khanate was fluttering high:
"I, the Khan of the Centaur Khanate, some of you have come, some have elves, and even dwarves!"
Qi Yan looked at the group of dwarven goat knights who had joined in from the side and were defeated, he jogged in front of the team, although the other troops were not loyal to Qi Yan except for the centaurs, but as the senior leader of the coalition army, Qi Yan still brought high morale to these soldiers.
"Today, we will end the war once and for all, today, we will make Mordor a historical term forever, and today, we will walk to the Hall of Glory with glory!"
Qi Yan pulled out his sword, and at this time, there was no need for a very moving tone, the lake of the vast knight brigade was enough to make everyone who saw this scene more angry and enthusiastic.
"Coalition Knights, Charge !!"
The beggar charged, he rushed to the front, the centaurs followed, they rushed to the front line of the entire coalition army in a group, the land that was already theirs at their feet, they were defending their homeland, and they would never allow any enemy to destroy their homeland.
Charge, charge after charge, the coalition army was like a slowly pouring water, falling downward, and then faster and faster, faster and faster, faster and faster, until they completely became a surging frenzy, and the Mordor troops that divided the left flank of the entire coalition army saw this surging coalition force, and did not panic, Elby thought of this when he specified this tactic, so at this moment, the entire coalition army was no longer facing ordinary Mordor orc troops, but countless Mordor spearmen with spears, at this moment, the coalition army was facing the largest nemesis of cavalry since ancient times, the spear phalanx。
Unlike the opportunity that the coalition thought it had, Elby even expected the coalition to send a large number of cavalry to rescue the dwarves, Elbi believed that in the face of the heavy magic capital spear phalanx, any cavalry who dared to attack their own spear array was looking for death, and what awaited them would be complete death.
The Mordor orcs looked at their powerful spear phalanx, their morale was high, in their minds, there were always only cavalry troops that were hung by the spear phalanx, never a spear phalanx that was hung by cavalry, unless the opposite side was full of long-range archers, but this in Middle-earth, there seemed to be no surviving suddenly.
Soon, soon, the cavalry of the coalition army is getting faster and faster, and their shouts are getting louder and louder, they don't seem to know what it means to be afraid, they charge one after another, especially the centaurs who are rushing to the front, their eyes are full of frenzy for battle, and the forest of guns in front of them seems to be non-existent in their eyes, they only know to charge, charge, charge.
This can no longer be said to be high morale, but should be said to be madness, the madness of centaurs, the orc soldiers at the front saw the enemy without the slightest sign of slowing down, their eyes gradually began to appear fearful, their arms are no longer so stable, the coalition knights on the opposite side may really be slaughtered by their own gun array, but they who stand in the front will definitely become the first victims in the whole battle.
"No!"
It is an unavoidable death!
How do you feel when you are faced with an army of thousands of knights rushing towards you? The courage you need will be countless times more than the courage you have, the half-orc soldiers at the front, finally some of them dropped their spears in fear and turned back, although they would be cut to the ground in the first place, but there were still many orc soldiers running behind them, their movement caused some commotion in the middle of the whole team, but this commotion was so insignificant for the entire battlefield.
The centaur charged into the Mordor spear array.
The sharp spear resisted the centaur troops who rushed over, the centaur relied on the shield and armor in his hand to resist the spear, the spear in the front could not pierce in front of the hard armor and shield at all, but the shield and armor could not protect the whole body of the centaur, and soon, just after rushing through the first two or three people, the centaurs in the front began to wail to the end because of various willingness, but this could not stop the centaurs' fanatical fighting spirit, their charge, faster!
