The large army array, although the number is actually not much, but both sides have exceeded 10,000, and Mordor's army is estimated to be about 20,000, this is still after removing yesterday's losses, Wesley does not look down on this number of wars, if it is just a medieval battlefield similar to the origin universe, Wesley will definitely not participate, now he is just here to experience.
The army was arrayed, Wesley did not let them form a phalanx casually, the elven army was in the center, directly in the form of a phalanx, they would be used as archers first, and Rohan's cavalry was divided into two by him, and the left and right sides guarded the flanks of the bow and arrow phalanx, led by King Rohan and Eomer respectively.
Wesley rode his war horse at the forefront, he looked at the army of the orcs, or a phalanx gathered together, this time their trebuchet was gone, only the infantry, and the back was a huge war elephant, this kind of guy Wesley didn't care, he didn't care about one arrow, it was not a problem, it depended on when the enemy was sent.
The war drums and horns of the half-orcs sounded, and then the phalanx in front began to advance, and then the phalanx in the rear advanced in turn, until it was decent, Wesley did not give an order, this kind of infantry charge has no power, even if there are many people, it is useless, they are not fast, and they cannot form an effective impact.
He was now looking in the direction of the White City, where he had sent someone to get Gandalf to attack the enemy's rear after receiving the signal, and to give him a signal to respond if he agreed, but he had not waited for now.
"This Gandalf can't be any happier," Wesley said dissatisfied.
Hadihar, who was next to Wesley, said, "I've heard that the regent of Gondor is a bit crazy, and maybe Gandalf will have a hard time talking to him about what we should do."
"I hope Gandalf can think clearly, after all, the current war is related to the entire land of Middle-earth, if he can't be decisive, then he should be very clear about what the consequences are.
But don't worry, we won't lose without them, it's just that I want to reduce the casualties of the soldiers, and I hope they can withstand my anger after the war.
Wesley was murderous.
Hadihar also trembled in his heart, this one really didn't care about anything, his anger must be directed at Gandalf and the Regent King, the identities of these two are not at all despised at all Finally, a signal flag appeared above the White City, and Gandalf knocked the Regent King unconscious with his wand, and then took over the command of the White City, this is the power of wizards, their prestige is too high.
Seeing the agreed signal, Wesley had a smile on his face, and the army of orcs was still five hundred meters away from them, "The archers are ready, and the cavalry is arrayed."
Wesley gave the order, and Hadihar hurried to give the signal.
The first column of the elven's bow and arrow phalanx directly drew the bow, and the half-orcs ran up, their footsteps began to be very neat, some like thunder, but then they began to scatter, two hundred meters away, and the sword in Wesley's hand waved.
"Boom" The first column of elves released their bows and arrows, and then turned and walked straight back, until they finally became the last row, while the second column of elves opened their bows and arrows, and Wesley swung his sword again.
Like a wall, the rain of arrows suddenly hit the forefront of the half-orcs, and the impact formation of the half-orcs looked obvious from a distance, and then they advanced again and encountered another wave, and again, so that the distance of two hundred meters was a little far away.
The heavily armored orcs were not fast, and the elves' bows and arrows were indeed powerful, otherwise Wesley would not have used this tactic, after all, there were no defensive phalanxes such as shields and spears in the front row.
This stalemate didn't last long, but Wesley didn't care very much, after all, the archers were not the point, they were just killing the speed of the opponent's impact, and the cavalry formation was already complete, "signal, the cavalry began to charge, cross charge." ” The cavalry on the left and right flanks began to accelerate, they hedged from the two wings of the half-orc formation, and at the same time their shock formation was cone-shaped, each column of cavalry gathered about 100 meters, as cavalry, this distance was not far away, the war horse was only a few steps away, but the impact could form a wave.
"Kill, fight to the death" The king of Rohan and Iomme each led the cavalry to start charging, the speed had already rushed, the first wave of cavalry hit the flank of the orcs, and then began to advance, they would not look back, but kept moving forward, until they reached the opposite side, the formation of the orcs was torn out of two huge openings, and then the second wave of cavalry came, followed by the third wave.
The enemy's formation was shattered, and the power of the impact on the elven phalanx was reduced, so it became the target of the elves' shooting, and it was cleaned up very quickly, "Bow and arrow phalanx, ready to throw." ” "Yes."
Hadihar went to give the order again, this time the target of the projectile was the orcs in the distance, they were divided by cavalry, and now they were piled together, which was the best target for attack and shooting, and the elven clan's attack projectile was far away, enough to complete this attack, and the half-orcs in front of the elves were eliminated, and now they could move forward.
The bow and arrow thrown by the "buzz" shook the air, and a dense rain of arrows fell directly, and the orcs couldn't see the projectile action at all because of their line of sight, and the first wave was caught off guard, and before they could react, the second wave had arrived.
The cavalry hedge was completed, the cavalry on the left and right flanks completed the hedge, swapped each other's positions, the losses were negligible, they excitedly lined up on the two wings again, and the elven phalanx moved forward to line up, the impact of the orcs was completely broken, their formation was scattered, and they began to retreat back.
Wesley naturally would not give up this opportunity, and ordered again, the elves began to advance and shoot, but the other party fled quickly, and the elves did not achieve much success, but in the battle just now, the other party lost thousands of people, and the losses of their own side were very small, and they began to have a sense of awe for Wesley.
The deformed leader of the orcs was very short-tempered, "Let the war elephants go to the front and use the war elephants to storm their lines, and I'll see what they do." ” "Chief, is that human still alive yesterday?"
"Regardless of him, I don't believe that the war elephant can be shot and killed, immediately let the war elephant attack, and the army is ready, and rush after him."
"Yes."
"Boom" The earth roared, the war elephant walked forward with huge steps, and came directly to the forefront of the half-orc army, the beast tamer began to make the war elephant array, there were not many of them, only a dozen of them, but their size was too huge, standing directly at the front, it was too much pressure for the soldiers, and Wesley clamped the war horse between his legs and walked straight forward. t1706231537:
