Chapter 44: High-End War
World of the Ring, Middle-earth, outside of Idoras, the capital of Rohan.
As the capital of the Rohanate, Idoras was not too large, it was a mountain town built on a hill, with only about 1,000 inhabitants except for a small royal palace. On the plains of Idoras, however, there are many villages, scattered throughout the plains. Because of this, Saruman's attack caused a very large number of civilian casualties. Even the exiled Iomo and the cavalry he led could not protect them all because there were too many of them. Now most of the civilians in these villages have been evacuated, and these civilians have all come to the capital of Idoras. However, there were so many of them that the small mountain town of Idoras could not accept so many refugees, so they had to live outside the city. A large area of black tents stretched for kilometers, and then the refugees set up a ring of wooden fences on the outer plains to protect themselves from wild animals.
Fortunately, the harvest season has just passed, and this year's harvest is still good, so most of the civilians also brought out their own food reserves when they fled, so there will be no shortage of food here in a short time. And the troops of the strong orcs are still far from here, so the situation here is safe for the time being. And Iomme led the army, constantly moving around the plains, looking for the strong orc troops, and then exterminating them, but the effect was not very large, because these were only small teams. And the large army of strong orcs has only been assembled from Isengard, and when they come out of Isengard, it will be the beginning of the bitter battle.
However, this battle had not yet begun, and the state of the Rohan Kingdom was not good, because Iomo was already lying in the carriage with serious injuries at this time, and there were more than a hundred cavalry following the carriage, and everyone was wounded.
And at this time, the state of the reincarnators is also not very good, because they watched a war, so that all the reincarnators have a new understanding of the definition of war, a high-end war, which is a war that they have never seen before. After this, all the reincarnators no longer dared to despise this world, and at the same time felt their powerlessness in the high-end war. At the same time, along with Yi Oumo, Li Nan, Zhang Heng and Luo Yinglong were seriously injured, and the reason why Yi Oumo was alive was because the three of them fought hard to bring him back from the battlefield.
Two days ago, the rest of the people were in the carriage and headed for Idoras, the king of the Rohan kingdom. However, on the way, they saw two troops facing each other from a distance. It was a thousand cavalry of the Rohan Kingdom led by Iomo, and on the other side, it was the leader of the strong orcs who had fought with Li Nan before, and he led five hundred strong orc wolf horsemen and two thousand strong orc infantry this time.
1,000 elite heavy cavalry versus 2,500 mixed infantry and cavalry troops, the reincarnators feel that the knights of the Rohan Kingdom have a good chance of winning, but the characters in the plot are not very optimistic about the situation of the cavalry of the Rohan Kingdom. At the same time, Gandalf asked Li Nan to drive the carriage over to their side to see if he could give them as much support as possible.
At the same time, the situation at the scene is also very strange, unlike the previous situation where humans and Mordor rushed to each other when they met because of the prestige value of hatred, now the soldiers of both sides are constantly changing their positions, as if they are forming some kind of formation. At the same time, both sides kept blowing trumpets and beating war drums, as if to boost the morale of the troops. These operations of both team members are not very understood by the reincarnators who are war idiots. But the characters who observed the scene through the telescope all discussed in a low voice.
"The situation on the side of the cavalry of the Rohan Kingdom is not good, they are obviously at a disadvantage." Aragorn whispered. At the same time, his words were agreed by Borromo and Gandalf, while Legolas and Kimbolt did not speak, but both frowned, and they also did not seem to be optimistic about the Rohanate.
Well, Li Nan said that he didn't understand these formations at all, and if he was allowed to lead the troops, it would be good to let the soldiers form a phalanx of 100 people at most, as for other things, Li Nan said that he could only hehe. But Li Nan can still understand some situations, and he can't figure it out, it is a thousand heavy cavalry, a heavy cavalry with full plate armor, in the face of five hundred light cavalry and two thousand infantry, it is not favored? That person named Iomo seems to be also the first-class cavalry commander of the Rohan Kingdom, leading this heavy cavalry, but he is not favored. Could it be that the mainstream wars in this world are different from the highlights of the world in which they live? After all, this is the world of swords and magic, and fighting spirit is also a very unscientific thing. Li Nan, who has fought with the strong orc leader, is also very aware of this, a standard blade, can actually prevail in the battle with Li Nan, although Li Nan did not go all out, but obviously the other party is the same, after all, both sides have not opened the field. Therefore, Li Nan began to watch the situation of the two sides seriously, and then Li Nan found that when the formation of the two troops changed, a strange energy was gathering, and when the team formation was completed, the strange energy had enveloped the entire team, even if it was a very long distance, Li Nan still felt the pressure of that energy, if this energy was on this side, he would definitely be suppressed very seriously.
At this time, a cold sweat was already breaking out on Li Nan's forehead, is this the war in this world? What exactly is this power, how is this energy generated, what is the effect of this energy, why does he feel suppressed by this energy, and other questions, Li Nan can't figure it out at all.
In addition, among the strong orcs, a similar energy was also generated, but it was only similar. And Li Nan clearly felt that this energy was stronger than the energy emitted by the knights of the Rohan Kingdom. Li Nan felt that if he stood in front of the strong orc forces now, if he couldn't find a way to counteract the influence of this energy, he might not even be able to exert the power of the third order. So Aragorn and Gandalf relied on this energy to judge the strength of the two armies? And as the carriage approached, the sense of oppression became stronger and stronger, and at this time, the defensive barrier carved on the carriage had been opened, so those children could not be affected by those energies.
The others had already come to the top of the carriage, and the battlefield could now be clearly seen from the roof of the carriage. The two sides that had formed a formation had already begun to charge, and from a distance, a silver arrow and a black torrent quickly collided together. It was a sight of the energy of both sides. The silver arrowhead of the Rohan Kingdom crashed into the black torrent of the strong orcs, but the sharp arrow failed to penetrate the black torrent and split it in half. But after the arrow was inserted into the torrent, it was instantly resisted by the torrent, and the stopped arrow became useless, and the arrow was swallowed by the torrent in an instant, and could only barely maintain the formation. And with the blessing of that strange energy, the two sides fought fiercely.
Originally, the strong orcs whose combat strength should have been only about eighty percent of the human race, with the blessing of that strange power, were able to fight on a par with the knights of Rohan. You know, I want to burn a burst of fighting spirit in all the knights. This was completely unexpected by all the reincarnators, you must know that these knights are just relatively strong ordinary people, Li Nan, who had been in contact with these knights before, knew that these knights had not condensed their fighting qi at all, except for the one who was at the peak of the third order, Yi Oumo. However, all the knights, under the blessing of that strange power, not only condensed their fighting spirit, but also their combat power skyrocketed to the second order or above, and even a few captain-level ones had entered the third-order stage, and the commander-in-command, Yi Oumo, had risen to the level of the fourth-order high-level.
And the strong orcs on the opposite side also showed a lot of strength. Those strong orc cavalry were actually able to compete with these second-order humans, and they also had the advantage of gradually gaining the upper hand. At the same time, after those strong orc infantry caught up behind, they began to surround the cavalry, and both sides kept fighting with long knives.
And Iom, he was completely passive at this time, although his strength was blessed and mentioned to the fourth-order level, but its opponent, the leader of the strong orcs, was also blessed with strength, and at this time he already had the power of the demigod-level.
Overall, as Aragorn said, the Orcs forces had the upper hand. At the same time, the knights of the Rohan Kingdom have begun to attrition, five minutes after the start of the battle, at this time the cavalry of the Rohan Kingdom has become a circle formation, and the cavalry that has lost its momentum, and the infantry have almost no advantage, they are now losing 1:2 with the strong orcs, and the reason why the latter ratio is because of the existence of the strong orc infantry, and now the dead are all strong orc infantry, and the knights of the Rohan have fallen more than a hundred people, and the cavalry of the strong orcs has no loss at all. And as the number of people continued to decrease, the strange power began to slowly weaken, and the power blessed on the team also began to slowly weaken.
"No, it's a legion attack." Aragorn suddenly shouted. At the same time, Li Nan also felt the change in the situation on the spot, and a large amount of energy began to surge towards the strong orc leader, and then the strong orc leader swung his knife and slashed out a huge black knife qi. Even though there were still almost ten kilometers away from the battlefield, Li Nan could still feel the power of that huge sword qi. will die, if he faces such an attack, there is definitely a dead end, even if he advances to the demigod level, it is impossible to survive under this sword qi, the only way to survive is to summon Sukhbaatar and rely on the power of the fifth order to directly break this sword qi, otherwise there is no other way.
"Damn, where does all this energy come from? Even if all these strong orcs were squeezed dry, it would be impossible to have energy of this intensity. Forget about the unscientific power blessing, I'll just treat it as if they added a group BUFF. But what's going on with this sword, this is already an attack comparable to the fifth order. In the psychic network, Nyos shouted loudly with a black face.
Li Nan's face was also not very good: "Who knows, or these are the high-end wars that the main god let us see, maybe this is the reason why the main god changed the rules of team battles, if this is the power that a regular army can play, then we can't do much at all." You must know that this is only a war of one or two thousand people, what kind of scene will it be if it finally manifests itself in Mordor? ”
Listening to Li Nan's words, everyone's faces turned pitch black. The thousand-level war is already so terrifying, if you go to Mordor, that kind of million-level war, there are five reincarnation teams in a long time, how many people can return to the main god space alive?
Then Li Nan continued: "In the face of this kind of strength blessing troops, without the blessing of the same level of strength, our troops have no chance of winning at all, unless they are piled to death with a thousand-fold army, but in the face of this kind of attack, if it can be used continuously, the number becomes meaningless." ”
In the face of such a powerful attack, Io Mo clenched the machete in his hand, and when the opponent began to mobilize energy, he also reacted in the same way, and then condensed the energy together, forming a huge shield, blocking the front of the cavalry. He knew that they were at a disadvantage in terms of energy, so they could only use all their energy for defense to neutralize the enemy's attacks. However, the giant shield was not able to block the huge sword qi, and when the sword qi slashed on the giant shield, it only took ten seconds to shatter the silver giant shield, but the sword qi was also reduced by a third. Then as the sword qi fell, the rows of knights were split in two by the huge sword qi, and then fell to the ground.
With this sword, the knights of the Rohan Kingdom were reduced by more than half, and at the same time, the silver light that had been blessed on them was also defeated, and without the blessing of the silver light, these knights were not the opponents of the strong orcs at all, and in terms of numerical inferiority, the knights of the Rohan Kingdom had been forced into a desperate situation.
And their commander, Iomo, had already passed out when the shield was shattered. Fortunately, his lieutenant reacted quickly, pulling his horse and helping him to stabilize himself, and then he lay firmly on his horse, and then pulled the reins of the horse. At the same time, the remaining knights were ordered to start breaking through, and although they were surrounded, the number of strong orcs was not very large, and although they had lost their blessings, it was obvious that their strength had only returned to their previous state, and there was no obvious weakening. So it was quickly fought a bloody way among the strong orc infantry.
However, just as they were about to break through, the orc leader suddenly attacked again. In the face of another oncoming legion attack, the knights were already in despair. But at this moment, a magic shield blocked the sword qi of the Legion's attack, which was Gandalf's spell. After the first Legion attack, Gandalf led a team to aid the knights. However, Gandalf's magic shield didn't last long, but just after the shield was shattered, three figures met it and blocked the Legion's attack. Then, in the stunned gaze of all the strong orcs, the three of them collided with that huge sword qi. What are they going to do? Actually hit the Legion with your body to attack? Do you want to kill yourself?
At the same time, Gandalf, Aragorn, Boromo, Kimbolt, and Legolas were also stunned. What are they going to do? In the consciousness of all the people in the Lord of the Rings, only the same legion attacks can withstand the attacks of the legions, and the others can only commit suicide.
