Chapter 47 Reinforcements Arrive
King Théoden, Thranduil, Brand, and Ironfoot stood side by side at the very front of the army.
"We've arrived just in time!" Tie Zu waved the hammer in his hand, while the big white pig under his crotch grunted and snorted.
Théoden glanced at the orcs below and sneered, "It's time they tasted the pain!"
The next second, the four kings separated and rushed towards their respective battle formations, shouting at the same time, "Cavalry charge! Cavalry charge!"
All the cavalrymen in the army slowly advanced, forming a formation like a forest wall.
No further words were exchanged!
Led by their respective kings, the cavalry charged towards the orcish army, which resembled a pool of black water.
The dwarven heavy cavalry were at the forefront, followed by tens of thousands of lancers from Brand and Théoden.
Although the elves also had cavalry, their numbers were not large.
He served only as a mounted archer, following closely at a short distance behind.
The infantry, who were already in formation at the rear, also began to move slowly forward in neat military formations.
This scene terrified the orcs below.
But the orc commander sneered, and with a wave of his hand, drums and horns sounded.
The Dongyi people, the Khan Devaryagh people, the Heinumenor people, and the wolf riders.
They quickly broke out of the orcish ranks and formed a large cavalry formation.
Their numbers appear to be greater than those of the allied forces!
The Numenor heavy cavalry served directly as the vanguard.
After completing their preparations, they launched a counter-offensive against the Allied forces that were charging towards them.
Meanwhile, in the rear of the allied forces, the dwarves stopped their ballistae.
With a command from the commander!
Dozens of heavy crossbow bolts shot out instantly, unfurling into flying blades in the air and spinning as they flew towards the Sauron cavalry that were launching a counter-charge against them.
Elven archers are especially skilled at using bows and arrows; they are the most proficient archer race among all the races in Middle-earth.
The bows and arrows they made had an extremely long range and were extremely powerful!
Therefore, after moving forward a few hundred meters, he stopped and began to draw his bow and nock an arrow.
At Haldir's command, bowstrings twanged, and tens of thousands of arrows, illuminated by the sunlight, slashed down like golden streaks of light towards the Sauron cavalry.
The heavy crossbow bolt struck first, its outstretched blades breaking apart and flying away upon hitting the ground.
The attack resulted in the deaths and injuries of nearly a hundred cavalrymen.
Tens of thousands of arrows followed immediately, their density and power instantly leaving large gaps in the Sauron cavalry's formation.
This scene gave the orc army commander a headache, and he could only order the catapults in the army formation to start changing direction.
Huge stones were hurled, leaving blood-red marks on the allied forces' ranks.
They even specifically targeted the dwarves' heavy crossbows, and in a short time, the allied forces also suffered heavy losses.
Meanwhile, the cavalry at the forefront of both sides continued to close the distance.
Everyone in the area who could see this held their breath.
The next second, there was a loud bang, and the silver line and the black line at the front collided violently.
Upon impact, it created crimson waves, just like ocean waves.
Thranduil's elk suddenly lunged forward, knocking several wolf riders over.
Ironfoot rode a big fat boar, smashing wolf riders one by one with his hammer.
The two cavalry forces clashed instantly.
The elven cavalry at the rear split to the sides and began maneuvering around the battlefield!
At the same time, they continuously used kiting tactics against the orc cavalry who wanted to pursue them.
A fierce battle involving tens of thousands of cavalrymen unfolded on this plain.
The two collided quickly and then separated just as quickly.
They charged toward each other's infantry formations.
None of them planned to turn back and charge again; they all decided to charge towards the enemy's infantry formation after they finished charging.
The orc commander was horrified when he saw this!
He immediately began to hurl insults at the wolf rider commander.
But the most important thing right now was the danger that was about to rush in, so he could only swallow his anger and order the unprepared orcs to hold their spears in front of them.
But this doesn't work at all!
The dwarven heavy cavalry at the forefront wore extremely thick armor, and the spears and halberds made in the demon cave shattered instantly when they struck them.
The argali sheep beneath them lowered their heads and used their curved horns to smash any orcs that blocked their path to pieces!
The human cavalry behind them followed closely, their lances breaking after striking their targets, and they immediately drew their longswords to slash and kill.
Like the tides of the ocean, it instantly plowed through this dark, calm lake.
Meanwhile, Soren's cavalry also launched a charge, but their speed was greatly reduced due to the uphill terrain.
With the addition of the dwarves' best heavy infantry, they formed an ironclad defensive line, their thick shields providing cover.
At the same time, long spears were thrust diagonally forward like a forest!
The moment Soren's cavalry charged, the front rank of cavalrymen was instantly wiped out.
However, the dwarves wielding the giant shields fared no better; most of them coughed up blood from the impact.
The breach was instantly broken through, and the wolf riders behind charged straight in.
Undeterred, the elves, relying on their well-trained military formation, swiftly lured the cavalrymen charging through the breach back to the cleared ground.
This was the tactic they used to ambush and kill the dwarf cavalry at the foot of Lonely Mountain more than 60 years ago.
And it still applies today!
Sauron's cavalry had not even gone halfway before they were already stuck in the mud.
The elven archers behind them were firing volleys at the cavalry, while the spearmen were swarming and thrusting at them.
Soren's cavalry was immediately engaged in a desperate battle!
Woo-coo-
Just then, the sound of drums and horns rang out again from the orcish army. The orcish army, which was on the verge of collapse, retreated upon hearing this sound.
The allied forces, who were about to give chase, froze on the spot after seeing what was happening.
Dozens of heavily armored mammoths were seen slowly advancing towards this location.
Behind them, the orcs who had collapsed and fled were being regrouped, forming a military formation, and slowly advancing behind them.
King Théoden, witnessing this scene, immediately realized that something terrible was about to happen!
Thranduil was even more astonished.
If these mammoths were to charge into their army's formation, they would suffer heavy casualties.
Théoden looked at Brand, and the two exchanged a glance and nodded.
The next second, the two began shouting, "Reorganize the ranks!"
Théoden looked at Thranduil: "We'll hold them off, you shoot from the outside! Its limbs and its controller!"
Before Thranduil could even nod, the two reunited.
"kill!"
The two men took the lead and charged forward, brandishing their longswords.
The tens of thousands of human cavalry behind them fearlessly launched a desperate charge against these heavily armored chess pieces.
This was solely to buy time for the elven cavalry archers behind them to kill them.
