526. The situation of the Great War of the Five Armies

Under Dane's command, these battle-hardened Iron Hill dwarves formed a wall of steel spears in the valley in front of Irub's main gate.

The woodland elves in the back didn't move at first, and Serranduyi was still a little hesitant in his heart.

But under Gandalf's urging and questioning, Serranduil looked at the orcs and vampire bats rushing towards him in the distance, and finally made preparations for defense.

At the same time, a group of about 300 elven melee guards armed with elven long knives also rushed behind the dwarves of Iron Hill Ridge in front, of course, they were not going to slash and kill the dwarves, but to cooperate with the dwarves to block the orc vanguard legion.

The battle was about to break out, and the elven melee guards in front and the dwarven warriors of Iron Hill Ridge quickly fought together with the orc vanguard legion, and of course they also blocked the orcs in the middle and early part of the Irub Valley.

At this time, Serranduil, who was behind, also commanded more woodland elf archers, and under the protection of the dwarves and elven melee guards in front, they threw dense long arrows.

These elven arrows emptied a large area of the vampire bats flying in mid-air at once, and at the same time, many of the orcs who rushed up to kill them fell upside down in the middle of the road.

This time, it naturally relieved a lot of pressure on the dwarves and elven melee guards who were resisting the half-orcs in front.

The battle in front of the main gate of King Irub's capital here was slightly stalemate, and with the joint efforts of the woodland elves and dwarves, they finally blocked this wave of orcs and vampire bats.

As the battle continues, the elves and dwarves have even begun to fight back against their enemies.

Whether it is an elf or a dwarf, the feud between them and the orcs is very deep, so on the battlefield, the woodland elves and dwarves completely forgot about the previous gap, and released their killing intent and courage against the orcs with tacit understanding.

Taking advantage of the terrain of the valley where the capital of the King of Irubor is located, the archers of the woodland elves can condescendingly overwhelm the enemy with a rain of arrows, each arrow as if it were plunged into the body of the enemy with a raging rage.

And after the rain of arrows of hatred, the elven spearmen, the elven melee guards, and the dwarves of Ironhill. took the opportunity to charge the enemy with a deafening killing sound.

For a moment, the rock was stained with the black blood of the orcs.

The elves were calm and calm, just spotting the enemy's flaws, quietly slashing out their long knives and spears, and at most letting out some muffled angry shouts in their mouths.

And the dwarves of the Iron Hills shouted, "Don't forget Moria! "Long live Dane! Swinging a heavy crane-billed spade, he smashed or chopped at the orcs.

Only the human warriors from Riverdale were still standing in place, most of them were just fishermen who had just picked up their swords, facing such a battlefield. Their bodies were even trembling.

Only the archer Bud and some of his companions and woodland elf archers attacked orcs and vampire bats from afar with their bows and arrows.

However, under the combined attack of the dwarves and woodland elves, the vanguard legion of the orcs has begun to panic, and many orcs have begun to retreat, and some wolves who have lost their riders have even taken the opportunity to devour the dead and dying wounded on the battlefield.

Just when the coalition forces thought that victory was in sight, there was a terrifying "woo" wind horn on the top of the mountain in the distance.

"Someone wants to copy our back road, they are going to attack Riverdale, everyone follow me back to Riverdale!"

Bard the archer saw another army of orcs in the distance. He actually appeared on the hillside opposite Riverdale City, and couldn't help but shout anxiously.

Zhu Linglu, Gandalf, and Bilbo had been standing on the side of the warriors in Riverdale, and when they heard Bard's shout, Gandalf also ran with Bilbo in the direction of Riverdale.

And Serranduil was also there to think about it. An elven general under his command was assigned, with a team of about five hundred woodland elven archers, and also moved in the direction of Riverdale City.

After all, the materials of the woodland elves are also stored in Riverdale City, if there is no follow-up material replenishment. The elven arrows in their hands will eventually run out.

Thrandui couldn't let the orcs occupy Riverdale City, but this time, the guardian power in front of the main gate of the Irub King Capital suddenly weakened a lot.

Originally countered the trend of the orcs. It's inevitable that there will be some lack of follow-up.

There are too many orcs, and there are vampire bats in mid-air, which makes it even more uncomfortable.

The city of the river valley over there was in a precarious situation under the attack of the orcs, even if Zhu Linglu helped strengthen the city wall, but in the face of the stone throwing cart of the half-orcs and the giant beast with the city stone on its head, there were still many breaches in the city wall in the end.

What's more, Bard brought most of the young warriors to the main gate of King Irub's capital, and there were only a few warriors left on the site of Riverdale City, so they naturally couldn't resist the attack of the orcs.

The orcs quickly entered Riverdale, and by the time Bard returned with the young warriors of Riverdale and the woodland elf archers, Riverdale had been broken.

All this was deliberately arranged by the pale orc Azog, who commanded the battle.

Originally, Riverdale City was not a strategic location, but Azog, who was commanding the battle on the top of Raven Ridge, saw the existence of some human women and children in Riverdale City, so he deliberately divided his troops and made an attack.

In this way, the defensive forces in the plains of the Irub Valley were mobilized and weakened.

As a result, the human, elf, and dwarf coalition army, which was originally inferior to the half-orc army in terms of strength, was even more difficult to take care of after being divided into two places.

As time slowly passed, the tide of battle naturally shifted in the direction of the orcs.

On the side of Riverdale City, it was completely mired in chaotic street battles in the city, barely resisting the attack of the orcs, but the half-orcs attacked the city of the valley only to contain it, and did not send all the troops, so that the situation could still be maintained on the side of the valley city.

As for the main battlefield before the Irub royal capital, the battle situation is really a bit precarious.

In addition to the growing number of orcs, the pale orc Azog sent the most elite orc Praetorian Guards around him into the battlefield.

These orc Praetorian Guards were unusually tall, armed with sharp steel scimitars, and their combat power was at least twice that of ordinary orcs.

Many dwarves and woodland elves were killed by them in the first sight of them.

At the same time, there are more and more giant vampire bats in front of the main entrance of Irubo, and they pounce down from time to time, hurting woodland elves and ironhill dwarves with their claws, and even lying on top of them, greedily sucking the blood from their wounds.

At such a critical moment, Thorin, who had been watching the play on the wall of the main gate of the Irub royal capital, finally defeated the demons in his heart, and led twelve dwarves to blow the dwarven horn of the Irub royal capital, and rushed out to kill...... (To be continued......)
