Chapter 615: The Cruel Battle of the Sacred Helmet Valley
The Battle of the Valley of the Holy Helmet, one of the most crucial battles in the original book.
Saruman's army of 10,000 strong orcs surrounded the Valley of the Holy Helmet, the Valley of the Holy Helm only had 300 Rohan defenders, and later more Rohans gathered in the Valley of the Holy Helmet, as well as 200 elven reinforcements from Lothrin, the defenders suffered heavy casualties under the strong attack of the strong orcs, but finally held out until dawn, Gandalf arrived with 2,000 cavalry led by Iome, the tide of battle quickly reversed, and the strong orc army was defeated.
- But that's the original plot.
After the reincarnation entered, although the battle of the Valley of the Holy Helmet was a fateful reoccurrence, the process could not continue in any way.
Luo Gandao, who was all a mobile force, rushed to the Valley of the Holy Helmet as fast as he could, and on the way he joined the large army that came out of Isenger and advanced steadily, including nearly 8,000 strong orcs that appeared in the original plot, as well as nearly 500 Denlanders who did not appear in the movie but were marked in the novel, about 1,000 werewolves who did not wear armor and liked to attack with their claws and teeth, and nearly 10,000 orcs who were good at fighting with the wind when they had an absolute advantage in numbers. Among them, there are about 1,000 wolf cavalry as scouts who have been harassing Rohan's migration team in the early days, and the most important thing is the more than 1,000 strong orc trackers, including 300 "tyrants" who have mastered the power of telekinesis, and this terrifying army is led by the strong orc general Uguluk...... Saruman did not give the Lord this position to Rogandor after all.
However, he did not express any dissatisfaction with this, because even if the Battle of the Valley of the Holy Helmet was victorious, Saruman would not have the last laugh, and even if he could get command of this army. Then the decapitation tactic will fall on him, who was originally just a minion, and as far as he knows the strength of the demon team's perverts, he doesn't want to try whether he can survive the rest of his life. Instead, he seized the time to understand the combat power of Rohan's side.
While Issinger's offensive forces had changed, Rohan's defensive forces had changed even more.
Except for a few Rohan generals who had been following King Xiyoudon, the three members of the expeditionary force of Aragon, Leglas, and Golden Bolt did not stay in the Valley of the Holy Helmet as in the original plot, Gandalf still seemed to have left to find Iomo's hussars as rescuers, and the two hundred elven soldiers led by Halda were not present at Lothlorin, but were replaced by a strange elven cavalry.
There are less than a hundred, but they are definitely the best of the best.
The wolf cavalry who had gone to harass the Rohan convoy to buy time for the army. They were stunned by the sudden arrival of less than a hundred elven cavalry, and they were chased all the way to the large army, if it weren't for the strong orcs, the range of the Esinger giant bow far exceeded that of the elven cavalry. This frightened wolf cavalry may not be able to save even half of it, and according to Saruman's description, Rogandau also knows the composition of this elite cavalry-
The main general, Groffindelle, the elven nobleman of Rivendell, and the slayer of fire demons in ancient times. Led by the elven cavalry, all of whom were elite Rivendell. As well as some human rangers and the rest of the dwarves and elves of the north.
The reason why Saruman knew so clearly was because this force came out of Rivendell, and broke through the interception of Issinger's troops all the way through the Rohan Pass, and he locked them with the crystal ball of true knowledge and kept tracking, and did not tell Rogando because there was no need to also have a certain degree of caution, and it was impossible to be too careful when it came to such a key thing as the Supreme Ring, but after summarizing a lot of facts and scout information, he now knew that the Lord of the Rings was definitely "Ming Xiu Plank Road." The "Darkness Chencang" was sent to the rest of the world from another route.
Of course, Rogan didn't even think about getting the hot potato of the Ring. He was more interested in the human rangers in this team.
Xiao Lan and the blonde woman in the demon team disappeared at the beginning, and the other woman who looked a lot like Sylvanas in the World of Warcraft also left quickly, and the three people who ran to the Fagon Forest had been directly eliminated by him, and the vast majority of the remaining ones must have been among this elven cavalry.
Chu Xuan......
That guy must be among them, maybe he didn't dare to join the obviously more promising dark forces because that Xiao Lan was in the light camp, and it was also considering that he had to complete the task of eliminating Sauron, in short, this Sanwu man was obviously at a disadvantage this time.
War is never a matter of a few people, and no matter how powerful a hero is, he cannot stand up to an army.
A person decides on a battle, and with the exception of a forbidden spell similar to nuclear deterrence, a similar situation can only be seen in brainless YY novels. In the Three Kingdoms era, Lu Bu rode a thousand, and he had to flee for his life when he encountered dozens of spears, even if he was replaced by "Dynasty Warriors", he also had to flee for his life when he was besieged, because he was not facing a small soldier who was fighting five scum, but a small soldier who could easily pick a thousand in the normal Three Kingdoms.
The same is true in the Lord of the Rings at this moment, even if a hero like Grofendale dares to confront the powerful army of Issinger head-on, because even an orc's arrow can kill if it hits the vital point - and the same is true for the reincarnated, unless they have some special constitution.
With less than a thousand mixed troops to fight against Issinger's super army, even if they can wait for reinforcements brought by Gandalf or others, Chu Xuan and their reincarnation will be in a very embarrassing situation, and if they don't go to the battlefield, they will definitely be judged by the nobles who enter the battlefield as cowardly, but when they go to the battlefield, they may confess in the blink of an eye, and they are all dense enemies at a glance, they can kill each other with one blow, and the other party can also kill themselves with one blow, as long as it is not cut on the solid armor, The attacks on the battlefield are basically one-hit kills, either you die or I die.
Instead, there was a hidden intention to kill Chu Xuan and them, and the Avengers joined the all-out attack when night fell, and they reached the most critical moment at the beginning.
There was a thunderous bang from the rear of the strong orc army, and then a huge black projectile slammed into the majestic city wall of the Holy Helmet Valley with a sonic explosion that tore the atmosphere, and the huge city wall collapsed, and both elves and humans who were originally standing on it encountered the greatest danger in their history in an instant, and the giant cannon made by Saruman made the first dispatch produced absolutely remarkable results...... It's a pity that the accuracy of the front-loading smoothbore gun is not very good, and the gunner originally wanted to hit the main castle.
The defenders of the Holy Helmet Valley instantly fell into passivity, but before the second cannon from 10,000 meters away rang out, a star-like light suddenly lit up in the darkness, and Groffindel opened his bow and shot more than ten kilometers with a single blow, accurately hitting the reloaded cannon, destroying the deadliest weapon at the cost of his own serious attrition.
- And then, the brutal battle for the walls began.
In the original book, the deep stream wall that caused the worst losses of the Issinger army was broken through at the beginning, and the defenders of the Valley of the Holy Helmet could only defend in the small space on the castle, and the siege ladder of the Issinger army was quickly erected to the wall of the Horn Fort with the siege crossbow, and a thousand trackers did not join the charge, they sniped all the people on the castle one by one under the city wall with giant bows, and under their cover, the dense Isenger soldiers charged against the rain of arrows. Soon, the defenders were able to retreat to the city gate, although there were already advanced trackers with telekinetic power at the city gate who were smashing the door directly with a giant hammer......
The battle had gone smoothly so far, with the Valley of the Holy Helm almost completely falling in less than an hour, but the battle had reached a stalemate after being suppressed into the castle.
The number of fighters at the city gate position can no longer occupy an advantage, the three hundred warriors of Sparta can resist the hundreds of thousands of Persian troops at the Hot Springs, and the defenders of the Valley of the Holy Helmet also used only a few hundred people to block the offensive of the Isengard army, during which the light of the true body of the Groffindel Netherworld bloomed three times, each time with incomparable power to kill the enemy in front of them, whether it was an ordinary enemy or a powerful tracker, the rest of the elves also burst out with the fighting spirit and blood that the elves did not have, and even recaptured the city gate with a counterattack in one fell swoop- Although only for a while.
There are just too many enemies...... (To be continued......)
