Chapter 65: The Legend of Rohan (2)

Chen Long and the others were looking at the Fennedan in the back, but Gandalf in front began to popularize knowledge.

"A long time ago, the Middle-earth Alliance defeated Sauron once, and everyone knows that. But in the Alliance, there is a strange creature that has also contributed a lot to the victory of the war, and this is the Ente Treeman. Because the orcs under Sauron's command cut down trees on a large scale, the survival of the Entre treemen was seriously threatened, so they rose up and defeated 10,000 orcs, sharing a lot of pressure for the coalition army. ”

Aragorn, who was listening, hurriedly asked:

"With such a powerful race, we should unite and fight Sauron together. ”

"No way, the Entre Treants are the most tranquil race, and although they are very powerful, they will not leave the forest to participate in the battle unless no one takes the initiative to provoke them. And they speak very slowly, if you want to convince them, you not only need to pay for benefits and morality, but also need to lobby them for days and nights without rest, and it is impossible to maintain high-intensity thinking for a few days and nights. ”

As they spoke, they had already passed through the forest and faced a large "continuous" verdant plain.

Gandalf raised his cane, and an obscure incantation came out of his mouth, and a white steed appeared in the sky in harmony with the sound, galloping towards Gandalf.

"That's the king of horses, Miaras!, the legendary horse, it is no problem to travel thousands of miles a day!" exclaimed Legolas, seeing the horses clearly.

It is worthy of being the king of horses, it seems to be far away in the sky, and it only took a moment to come to the front. Looking at the white horse in front of them, everyone couldn't help but admire again and again. The king of horses is a lap bigger than ordinary high-grade war horses, and even a little bigger than the nightmare war horse under He Chenglin's crotch.

"It's called Shadow Disease, and it comes to help me through it whenever I'm in trouble. As he spoke, Gandalf paused, looked at Aragorn and the others behind him, raised his cane, and said loudly:

"Warriors, let's go save Rohan, save Middle-earth!"

"Tiger Tiger Tiger!" The Rohan Knight behind him also raised the sword in his hand and shouted when he heard this, and his momentum reached the extreme for a while!

Then, everyone galloped on horseback, aiming for the capital of Rohan.

The Rohan Kingdom is known as the home of knights, all but a few of the soldiers who defend the city are elite cavalry. There are not many mountains and rivers in Rohan's land, and it is difficult to see even one or two "small dirt bags", and instead there are plains one after another. Luo Han is like the Jurchen people who entered the customs at the end of the Ming Dynasty, most of the people lived a nomadic life, and only a few "cities" were a combination of nomadism and planting and settled down. That's why, when Saruman's orc army attacked, Hiudon was unable to quickly assemble his own troops to resist, and could only rely on 2,000 defenders to struggle in the Valley of the Holy Helm.

Near the capital, the hundred cavalry rested on the spot under the leadership of Xu Zekai and did not approach any longer, lest Xi Youdun be bewitched by the villains around him and send the garrison troops to exterminate him, making the already not rich manpower even worse.

When the ring team entered the town, the residents on the road were all frightened, and their steps became numb, completely lacking the confidence and pride when they first came here.

Seeing this, Gandalf hurried to the gate of the palace in the middle of the town. After a brief announcement of the name, a slightly chubby officer pushed open the palace door and came to the crowd. The officer looked at the crowd and said loudly:

"King Heudon wants to see you, but you must not enter with any weapons, this is the Prime Minister's order!"

Gandalf nodded to the people around him, and then Aragorn, the elven prince and others handed over the sharp blades and arrows on their waists one after another, while Chen Long and the others put their weapons into the ring and handed over the equipment given by the elves. When the weapons were almost handed in, the officer stepped forward again, trying to take Gandalf's staff.

Gandalf stared at the officer and said:

"You're not trying to take away an old man's walking tools, are you? ”

The officer wanted to say something, but after seeing the faces of the people behind him, he got out of the way and let the group in.

After that, it was Gandalf and Saruman who had become a white-robed wizard, and Saruman was banished from the king's body by simply picking up his staff and lightly tapping it on Siyodon's forehead.

In the moment after the expulsion, Xiyuton, who was slumped in his chair, became full of energy, and in just a few seconds, he changed from an old man of seventy or eighty years old to a forty-year-old man.

He shook his powerful palm, and the first thing he did was to slaughter the prime minister who could only confuse the people, but was stopped by Aragorn.

In the next two or three days, Xiyuton began to organize the internal affairs and collect nearby refugees and knights loyal to him, Xu Zekai and Gu Yi also led a hundred knights into the town at this time, and it was only then that Xiyuton found that he had basically expelled Rohan's loyal ministers.

At the same time, the Ring Guards were given valuable rest time after the long journey, and they were even able to find a clean and hygienic place to treat Boromir's injuries.

Lu Lingfeng, Tang Yuzhe and a few of their archers gathered around Legolas all day long to ask about bow and arrow skills. He Chenglin and others surrounded Aragon and learned martial arts. As for Donnie and Weng Tianyang, they came to the firecracker shop and took out the firecrackers that had been stored before. When he left, he also paid the boss a sum of money in advance, asking him to buy as many firecrackers as possible, and at this time, he also took it away, and when the Holy Helmet Valley was battled, the number of *** could even reach three or four hundred.

After a few days of rectification, Xiudon finally summoned everyone to discuss the biggest crisis of the moment, the issue of strengthening the orc legion.

"According to the information sent back by the scouts, Saruman has at least 50,000 strong orc troops, they are well-equipped and morale-boosting, while we only have about 2,000 regular troops in the city at this time. I mean retreat to the Valley of the Holy Helmet to resist this force while waiting for reinforcements to arrive. Xiyoton said, pointing to the Valley of the Holy Helm on the map.

When Gandalf heard this, he shook his head and said:

"Saruman's purpose is to penetrate the Rohan Kingdom and connect with Mordor, although it is difficult to defeat this strong orc army with only a few hundred cavalry in the city, but you should not retreat to the Valley of the Holy Helmet to defend it, but should bravely fight back!"

When Aragorn heard this, he hurriedly said:

"Not far from here is a cavalry of five thousand men, led by your most loyal general, Iomeh, and when you summon them, they will return to the rescue!"

Xiyodun sighed and said:

"They are at least fifteen hundred kilometers away from here, we can't contact them at all, if we stick here and wait for them to come back, they won't be able to come back at all until the strong orcs kill all my people, this has nothing to do with loyalty or disloyalty, in short, lead all the people of the capital to hide in the Holy Helmet Valley, I have made up my mind!"

At this time, Chen Long, who was listening on the side, asked coldly:

"How many elite cavalry are there in the city?"

Hearing this, Xi Youton was stunned for a moment and said:

"In addition to the 100 cavalry you brought back, there are also 200 royal guards in the city, and they are also the most elite soldiers, what do you want to do with this?"

"King Xiyodon, can you hand over these three hundred cavalry to us, we will stop the orc forces and delay their arrival, and you will take this opportunity to quickly move to the Valley of the Holy Helmet to build fortifications, and at the same time, send out sentinels to ask for help. ”

"Yes, yes, but with only three hundred cavalry, it won't take long to resist and they will be overwhelmed by the strong orcs, so instead of letting them die, it is better to use their strength in the defense of the Holy Helmet Valley. ”

"I'm sorry King, but I think I misled you by using the word blockade, I mean, using these three hundred cavalry to harass the orc army. The day is quickly interspersed, and at night, while the strong orcs are resting, they quickly defeat the camp of the strong orc vanguard, burn their food and grass, and make their spirits tense all the time, and spend countless sleepless nights. ”

Hearing this, Xi Youdun's eyes lit up, and after thinking for a while, he explained a few words to the guards behind him, and then asked him to take Xu Zekai and them down to lead people.

"Your Majesty, I have an idea. Since it is a quick hid in the Valley of the Holy Helmet, there must be a lot of cattle and sheep and other livestock that are difficult to take away, rather than leaving it to the strong beasts, it is better to slaughter them now, on the one hand, to take their meat and satisfy their hunger on the road, on the other hand, to use them to squeeze oil, combined with the original oil reserves in the city, to make some arrangements. It is believed that with two thousand to fifty thousand, there will definitely be a gap in the Valley of the Holy Helmet, on the one hand, you can use this oil to make some fire walls to make up for these gaps, and on the other hand, you can pour the oil under the city wall and ignite it to prevent the strong orcs from climbing the wall. ”

Hearing this, Xiyuton patted Chen Long on the shoulder and said to him:

"You kid really have a lot of ideas, if it were my soldiers, I would definitely give you a position as a general. ”

After that, Xiyoton put away the map and said with blazing eyes:

"Get out!"

When the meeting was over, everyone was busy, and of course, Gandalf left the meeting scolding. Xu Zekai and the others had already removed all the heavy armor on the three hundred cavalry and replaced them with light leather armor. Although the leather armor can only defend against stray arrows from a little farther away, it is lightweight, allowing the cavalry to maximize their mobility, and if it is still the usual heavy armor in this world, a wave of wolf knights can drag them down and wipe them out. Moreover, the spear and shield in each knight's hand were also removed, leaving only a small sword for self-defense, and the rest were replaced with bows and arrows. This practice caused the dissatisfaction of several officers in the army, but the king gave a death order to ask them to obey, and in the past month, Xu Zekai has also established his prestige under Yi Oumo, with the absolute support of a hundred cavalry, and the rest have obediently complied.

At this time, Gandalf came to the horse circle and prepared to go to the rescue, but before that, he also deliberately found Weng Tianyang and discussed with him the use of "firecrackers", not only that, but also consumed mana, making ten of the "firecrackers" become the kings of the firecrackers!
