There are more than a thousand Mellon trees growing on the hills, with lush branches and whirling leaves. I wonder if the flesh and blood of these 20,000 Gondor men have nourished this Mellon tree.
These melon trees form a natural defense barrier. Not to mention the two firepower points of the Heart of the Castle and the Boulder, the Merlon Woods and the elf archer troops ready to go behind are enough to block the heavy infantry attack.
Bei Yenan, Feng Ru, and the Flame God Priest barely escaped.
They were in great embarrassment and were disgraced by Shen Luoyan's plot.
A total of 20,000 people were just gone.
How could Du Yu, the evil god of heaven, be so vicious and set such a vicious trap when building the city wall? When we captured the city wall, he was able to self-destruct?
Sima Yi¡¯s eyes almost burst out with fire. He looked at Du Yu and said word by word: ¡°You really pissed me off.¡±
Du Yu shrugged: "Whatever."
Sima Yi waved his flag and immediately ordered the 10,000 heavy infantrymen on the rear line to break through forcefully!
Although the losses were heavy, Helm's Deep lost its outer city wall after all. These melon trees are powerful, but they can't stop the ax chops of ten thousand warriors!
Sima Yi¡¯s tactic is very simple, which is to use the absolute superiority of troops to advance all the way.
As expected, this third wave of ten thousand troops, equipped with thick shields and sharp axes, rushed towards the Mellon Forest.
The thick shield is used to defend against the sharp arrows of the elven archers, and the large ax is used to chop down trees.
Although the Mellon Tree tried its best to resist under the urging of Galadriel, how many trees can be moved at the same time by the magic power of the Elf Queen?
How can it withstand the felling of trees by 10,000 heavy infantry?
Furthermore, these trees have a fatal weakness, which is that they are completely defeated by flames!
This Flame God Sect, these priests and the like are not here to make a living.
The priest of the Flame God stood up. The five surviving high priests were dispatched in one breath, and they joined forces to create a huge fire array.
Under the scorching fire, the Merlon Forest was quickly devoured by the flames.
Cooperating with the heavy infantry's breakthrough, it will take a short time. Split the blockage of the Merlon tree and rushed into Hadir's elf troops!
Legolas, Aragorn and others, together with the elven troops defending the city, also rushed out from the back door of the heart of the castle in time and started a fierce battle with the heavy infantry.
With their bayonets red, both sides finally began a brutal ground battle.
But the ground battle has finally become the domain of the Gondorians!
Their numerical advantage can finally be brought into play.
Seeing that the war was developing in Gondor's favor, Shen Luoyan smiled coldly.
She finally got this opportunity!
Sima Yi is on the front battlefield. Three ten thousand troops were invested, and the defensive rear reserve team was not enough.
She gently shook the red lantern.
The hills in the distance suddenly trembled.
That is the sight of thousands of horses galloping!
Bei Yenan, Feng Ru, and the Flame God Priest all changed their expressions at the same time.
"Cavalry of the Luohan Kingdom?" Bei Yenan said in a sharp voice: "Sir Sima Yi has long predicted that you will launch a surprise attack from behind, hum! We are not vegetarians. Wait, what is that?"
She finally lost her voice.
Because from behind the hill, where the sun shines, the Rohan Cavalry came out. The number of people is increasing, and it is not at all the 2,000 people Sima Yi estimated!
But there are at least 7,000 people!
At the top of the boulder. Du Yu and Sima Yi, who were fighting fiercely, looked at the knight Luohan who came to help at the same time.
Sima Yi seemed to be shocked. He mouthed twice, but still couldn't hold it back and said in a voiceless voice: "You can actually recruit 7,000 Rohan knights in such a short time? This is impossible!"
Du Yu took a look. Like a tiger descending from the mountain, it charged towards Eomer who was at the front.
The fierce general was roaring loudly: "For Rohan! Knights, charge me!"
??The lances are like a forest, the horses are like dragons, the iron flow is rolling, and the iron cavalry is clanging!
7000 spears. Following their second commander, rushed the Gondor army at the mouth of the valley.
The whole valley was shaken and trembled by the bravery and courage of the Luohan men who were not afraid of death and would die on the road of charge!
Catherine led 3,000 wolf knights and rushed out of the ambush.
These wargs, salivating crazily, howled and rushed towards the trembling Gondor infantry. The orcs riding on them were swinging their machetes wildly, trying to tear off two pieces of human flesh alive!
Two rolling iron streams hit the Gondor infantry at the same time, like two flood peaks trying to overwhelm a dam!
The flood peak has not yet arrived, but this embankment is already in danger and trembling.
The warriors of Gondor are greatly weakened!
Originally, just a few minutes ago, our side had an absolute advantage, successfully ascended the city, killed the elves, and was about to break through Helm's Deep.
"But the way of heaven is boundless and fate is unpredictable. In the blink of an eye, we have become such a desperate situation!"
The 20,000 heavy infantrymen in front were completely buried, with no bones left.
After the enemy stretched their battle line, they magically pulled out 10,000 cavalry from behind and launched a fierce attack.
Sima Yi¡¯s face was so gloomy that ink could drip out of it!
For the first time, he had a hunch that Du Yu's energy was still higher than he had expected.
If you only rely on your own strength, you may lose this time.
But it¡¯s a pity
Sima Yi sighed: "I didn't expect you to be able to do this. Seeing that you work so hard, I will show you my trump card!"
Du Yu¡¯s eyes shrank!
The trump card?
Does Sima Yi still have a trump card?
How many trump cards does this old man have?
Sima Yi laughed ferociously: "Since I know that you have cavalry backing up, how could I not guard against you? How could I not guard against you? Now let me tell you, what is the God of War?"
He waved his hand.
The 5,000 makeshift Gondor light cavalry actually moved.
Although these 5,000 light cavalry seemed so insignificant under the attack of 7,000 Rohan knights commanded by Eomer who heroically returned to kill enemies for his country and Catherine's 3,000 wolf knights, they were still able to do this in such a bad situation. This reaction is enough to illustrate their tenacity.
The 15,000 heavy infantrymen who stayed behind to defend also suddenly moved.
"Stand quiet as a virgin but as active as a stripped rabbit!"
They ran quickly on the ground, pulling something from time to time.
Du Yu¡¯s eyes turned cold.
"Do these guys have any magical weapons that defy heaven?" Not taken out?
? ¨¦omer is indeed a fierce general, leading 7000 Rohan knights, like tigers descending from the mountain, the mountains collapse and the ground cracks, and they pounce on the enemy.
But this iron stream rushed to less than a hundred meters away from Gondor's main formation. Suddenly I heard Sima Yi burst out laughing.
"Wake it up for me!"
From the ground, there are a large number of thick logs. He was instantly pulled up by the heavy infantry.
These logs are covered with many yellow weeds. In this bleak season of autumn, don¡¯t have too many withered weeds like this on Luohan¡¯s grassland!
And under this camouflage, the wooden pointed cone array that quickly stood up to defend against the cavalry attack was not very well concealed.
Eomer¡¯s eyes suddenly turned cold.
As the commander of the cavalry, how could he not know about this strictly defensive wooden stake formation? What does it mean for a cavalry with a speed of more than 80 kilometers per hour!
It means you will definitely die if you rush forward!
This is the tragedy of the cavalry.
Once the enemy knows its strategic intentions in advance and implements targeted defenses, these rough and crude cones will become an insurmountable natural hazard for the cavalry!
Sima Yi had long known that the enemy would launch a strong attack on the rear line, so he made careful preparations.
? Eomer could only hear the sound of cracking brocade beneath his feet.
A large area of ??land suddenly collapsed!
Sima Yi¡¯s trap and ambush!
Sima Yi, who had no plans left, even used the cavalry pit behind the formation. It was also dug with great care. Eomer's cavalry suddenly fell on their backs. Many knights stepped into the cavalry pit with their hooves, breaking their front hooves and being thrown to the ground!
There are cavalry pits, cone formations, and forests of spears!
Let¡¯s see how you break the formation!
?? Can ¨¦omer retreat?
The answer is no!
Because he had already launched a surprise attack, the cavalry behind him was rushing forward one after another. Crazy impact.
If we don¡¯t rush forward at this time, people and horses will trample on each other, resulting in more casualties!
? Eomer¡¯s heart trembled, and the fierce general roared angrily. Fighting energy suddenly burst out.
He was like a god descending from the sky, riding a war horse, flying across the 10-meter-wide pointed cone formation, and rushed into the forest of spears!
kill!
This angry tiger general, as agreed, rushed back to the battlefield with 5,000 tiger knights from the eastern theater in just 18 days. They happened to encounter Catherine who was ambushing her, so they united their troops and charged forward.
¡°But in the face of Sima Yi¡¯s irreversible preparations, Iommo, who is good at cavalry assaults, used his skills toGive out half of it.
Single-handedly, he rushed into the enemy group and killed them in large numbers.
Wherever the golden fighting spirit passes, the gun breaks and blood spurts out, and there is no enemy under his command.
But that¡¯s all.
Under his encouragement, 70% of the other Rohan knights died tragically in the 10-meter-long cone array!
The loyal and brave Knight Rohan, with his stomach broken and his eyes broken, hangs on a sharp cone made of a whole log!
The war horse was also pierced, and rushed into the cone array with blood. The cone pierced the horse's belly and died miserably!
Occasionally, the war horse is not dead yet, and is still calling to its knight, hoping that the knight can stand up, mount its back, and command it to charge into battle.
But the knight¡¯s sad eyes indicate that he is destined to fail.
This time, this brave and fearless charge actually caused huge casualties to the Rohan Knights! More than 2,000 knights were killed in the charge. The Gondor spearmen + the pointed cone array were almost overwhelmed by the piles of corpses of Rohan Knights.
Even the few Rohan knights who jumped over the pointed cone formation were unable to fight back under the spears thrust from all directions. They were quickly pierced through the chest and abdomen and knocked off their horses.
This is Sima Yi¡¯s war aesthetics, defeating the most exquisite and grandest cavalry charge in the most rude and simple way!
A skilled knight requires at least ten years of training, and he also needs a valuable and excellent war horse.
But a log cone does not require any training. Even the roughest farmer can cut ten cones in a day! (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
