XXIV. Rivendell's New Army
The fall of a kingdom has finally sounded the alarm for all the forces of the good and orderly camp in Middle-earth.
Just one wizard who surrendered to Sauron's command was able to scold Fang Xuan and lead tens of thousands of troops to attack the capital of the Kingdom of Rohan head-on, officially turning this hussar kingdom that had lasted for more than 500 years into a decaying, dusty history.
And the shadow that is entrenched in Mordor has not yet been shot.
"We, do we still have the next chance of victory?" said an elven elder with a sad face, "Even if we complete the construction of a new army, can we really defeat this kind of army that covers the sky and the sun?"
There are not a few elves who hold this pessimistic attitude, and many of the inhabitants of Rivendell alone have boarded ships destined for distant continents, and even the dragon king has privately approached Anduin and asked for a few wooden sailing ships with a larger passenger capacity.
After all, all eggs can't be put in the same basket, although King Ayron himself is holding the form of "the Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies", he also has to be responsible for his own people.
You must know that even the noble elven queen Galadriel and her husband Kellepeng in the dark jungle saw that Saruman was irresistible, and ran away with 350 million worth of belongings.....
As a result, after Anduin provided dozens of Chinese-style three-masted sailing ships half a month ago, the civilians of Rivendell basically ran away, and the rest of the people who were still in the city were only the big soldiers and a group of high-level officials.
Glorfindelle said solemnly, "Surely, 30,000 elven soldiers, more than 50,000 guns, countless cars and pack horses, plus our dwarven allies." Even in the last Lord of the Rings (Meow) battle, the current new army has the ability to take it perfectly. ”
The elven elder who spoke coughed, glanced at Gandalf imperceptibly, and said hesitantly, "But, isn't this sacrifice too great.....
Huh?
Anduin sneered and looked at the Gongun princes above the temple, most of the elven elders did not dare to look directly at the gaze of the goblin merchant, their eyes were erratic, and they pretended to look around at the scenery.
These elves, it seems that they are also the 49-year-old Guo Party wall-riding faction, and when they saw Saruman's strength, they cowered, hidden their thoughts, and were cowardly.
If you fight, you will die, and this dead person may die on his head that day. Even if it is not a high-ranking elven elder like himself who goes to the battlefield, whose children, nephews, children and grandchildren have fewer arms and broken legs, it is not good.
The long-lived elves don't have the revolutionary spirit of looking at death, wouldn't it be nice to be alive to enjoy the spring breeze and rain?
As if sensing the cowardice of the elven elders, Gandalf's face sank, and he shouted in a low voice: "What are you still thinking?
Anduin couldn't help but applaud, the reason why he supported the construction of Rivendell's new army was to hope that these long ears could give some strength and turn Sauron's car to the ground, if they escaped from the battle, wouldn't it be in vain?
Thinking of this, Anduin also added with added with vinegar: "The Demon Lord Sauron has put those pirates who gallop and plunder the seas to serve him, and even if he leaves by ship now, I am afraid that he will be intercepted." ”
Ignoring the pale-faced Elven Elder, Anduin continued with a warm smile, "And as a merchant in the Good and Orderly camp, I am also willing to contribute to the fight against the evil forces, such as providing a large loan - the low-interest kind. ”
If any of the elven elders present were an adventurer who had successfully stepped out of the star system and seen a lot in the multiverse, then he would know that when Anduin Carnaline showed such a smile, it often meant that someone was going to be unlucky....
However, it is a pity that these medieval old hats did not see through the goblin merchant's scheme, and happily accepted a batch of weapons and equipment sold at a low price.
Among them, there are both the 150mm heavy field howitzer in service in Germany in 1893 and the 105mm mountain howitzer of the Schneider 1909 type.
What trebuchets, siege arrows, scum in front of artillery. Big is good, more is beautiful, caliber is justice, and range is truth.
The romance of cannon fighting, you who play with cold weapons will never understand.
Not only that, in the new army, the hand-woven military uniforms of those elf girls have also been collectively eliminated, and they have been replaced with S.A.W.T's multi-functional protective clothing and riot helmets on the earth, which can effectively resist the stray arrows shot by the strong orc army.
The vehicles in the army have also all been updated, and the three-wheeled bouncing has been replaced by jeeps with greater horsepower and passenger capacity, which can effectively adapt to the mountainous terrain, and it is not a problem to cross mountains and mountains, and it will not take a few days to rush to the battlefield.
Combined with the machine-gun turrets that weave a runway of death, and the countless Golden Arches-flavored canned luncheon meat, it is entirely possible to carry out a protracted battle against a certain fortress - the final victor should also be the elves who have been harvested with long-range weapons and have less battle damage, and they can completely bully the short-handed lickers and abominations within range.
After reading the "Military Aid Menu" provided by Anduin, King Ayron and the elven elders glanced at each other, and then made a decision-One Piece, I should decide!
Ahem, it's a warrior against Sauron, I'm decided!
As a result, the heavy firepower is similar to the French army in World War I, the light firepower is similar to that of the beginning of the 21st century, and the combat strategy is backward and outdated, which is comparable to the African black corn, and this is how it was born.
The established strategy formulated by hawkish generals such as King Elon and Groffindelle was to immediately reorganize their ranks, rule the Dwarves of the Grey Mountains, and rush to the royal city of Gondor, Minas Tirith, in the shortest possible time, where they would snipe Saruman's southbound army.
At the same time, a red heart, ready with both hands. While the elves of Rivendell were busy reorganizing their armaments, Gandalf was not idle, still working on the affairs of the Fellowship Squad.
