Chapter 533: I Finally Can't Hold It Back!
The Iron Foot Army directly collided with the formation of the elven soldiers, and in an instant, many goat mounts were blown up by the elven shields, and the Iron Foot soldiers on it also fell to the ground.
I have to say that the combat effectiveness of the elf soldiers is still very strong, and they have been training for so many years, but they have not been trained in vain.
However, the Iron Foot Army rushed down from the hillside, and the momentum was very violent, although the front row of pioneers was pushed to the ground, but the Iron Foot Army behind swarmed up, the second wave, the third wave, and by the fourth wave, the elven soldiers' shields could no longer be raised.
The formation of the elven soldiers was immediately rushed away, and the Ironfoot Captain drove straight in, directly into the core hinterland of the elven soldiers, and almost rushed in front of King Thrandil!
King Thrandil's face turned pale.
He never imagined that the elven soldiers he had worked so hard to train would be smashed by a group of short Iron Foot Army!
Once the formation is chaotic, the elven soldiers can only fight with the Iron Foot Army, and the number of elf soldiers is far lower than the number of the Iron Foot Army, and there is not much advantage in hand-to-hand combat, so if you continue to fight......
King Thranduil took a deep breath and took his elven sword, ready to enter the battlefield.
He was about to set off when his white stag was grabbed by a hand at the reins.
Lord Thranduil looked back angrily, wanting to see which daring creature dared to stand in his way.
But looking back, he lost his temper.
It was none other than the dragon slayer "Diedi" who was holding the reins of him.
King Thrandir frowned and asked, "What do you mean, Lord Didi?" ”
Xu Feng smiled faintly and said: "King Thrandil, don't worry, there is a saying on our side that the praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind, we don't want to prevent the mantis, but to prevent the yellow finch." ”
Lord Thranduil asked, "What does this mean?" ”
Xu Feng smiled: "Anyway, don't worry, wait patiently." ”
King Thranduil said in a deep voice, "If I wait any longer, my elven forces will be defeated!" ”
Xu Feng smiled: "I still have a lot of confidence in your elven troops, but if you want them to suffer fewer casualties, you can retreat a little in the direction of River Valley Town." ”
King Thranduil asked incredulously, "You told me to retreat?!" ”
This is absolutely unacceptable in Middle-earth, especially among the elves.
Xu Feng shrugged, "No, it's not retreating, it's pulling your formation back a little." ”
"Why?" King Thranduil asked.
Xu Feng smiled: "Because it looks like a retreat." ”
King Thranduil said angrily, "Isn't this still for me to retreat? I respect you, Lord Diedi, and I put my troops in the Wood Elf Capital under your command! But now is the time when I need you, and instead of letting my troops intervene to help, you let me retreat? Which side are you on? ”
Xu Feng said unhurriedly: "I am on the side of the alliance. Do you remember when I told you that the army of monsters is coming? ”
King Thranduil said coldly, "I know! However, that Dai Yin pressed forward step by step, and he didn't appreciate it at all! I wanted to fight the monster army, but the Iron Foot Army was fighting me! Is it possible that I still have to endure being beaten? ”
Xu Feng smiled: "King Thrandil, the army of monsters is not coming soon, but already here. They're hiding behind a ridge near here, waiting for you to fight each other. ”
King Thranduil was taken aback, "What? This! ”
Xu Feng smiled: "Azog is still very cunning, he just wants to wait for you to be both defeated, and then let the army attack, so as to reap the benefits of the fisherman." If you gamble with the iron-headed baby on the other side now, and really lose both, then you will really lose. My suggestion is that if you take the elven guards and retreat, then Azog will inevitably show up for fear that you will escape, and when he does, Dain will not fight you, but will deal with Azog's orc army. ”
King Thranduil frowned and said, "Are you sure? Can that little man really deal with Azog? ”
Xu Feng smiled: "Yes, I'm sure. ”
Dain Iron Foot has a nickname called "Dain the Late", in the Battle of the Blue Mountains, he missed three chances in a row, the three chances of this wrong thing, one led to the death of his father, one led to the victory in the Battle of the Blue Mountains, and the last time caused him to not even drink the soup.
Dain hated the title, and even if it was to wash away his title, he would fight hard with Azog.
Seeing that Xu Feng said so resolutely, King Thranduil looked at the elven soldiers who were in a stalemate battle, fortunately, the battle had just begun, and although the two sides fought fiercely, there were no casualties.
Retreating at this time is indeed the best time to preserve your strength.
King Thranduil is also worthy of being the elven king who has experienced the Epoch War, and his ability to read the battlefield is still very strong.
After a quick thought, he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you—pay attention, keep your formation, and retreat in the direction of Riverdale Town!" ”
The elven guards immediately fought and retreated.
Dain was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "Those sissies can't stand our sledgehammer so soon!" Keep killing! Drive them all out of the Lonely Mountain! ”
The morale of the Iron Foot Army was greatly boosted and they continued the pursuit.
Xu Feng turned back to Bard and said, "What are you still doing here?" Let's take the refugees back to Fanghedale. ”
Bard hurriedly said, "However, we are allies of the elven army, and we can't leave the elven army alone." ”
King Thranduil said coldly: "I understand your affection, but if you are in the way here, we elven soldiers will be in a dilemma." ”
Bard nodded hurriedly, and withdrew with the refugees towards Riverdale.
Although the refugees were well-armed, they had never fought, and seeing that the impact of the Iron Foot Army was so strong, they did not want to fight for a long time.
As soon as they heard about the retreat, they ran faster than anyone else.
At this time, Azog, who was hiding in the distant ridge, saw this scene, and immediately sneered, "What a pity, it's just the beginning of the fight, and the elves can't hold on!" It seems that after so many years, the strength of those elves has regressed a lot. Well, in that case, let's take them all away! Don't let anyone go! ”
On the top of the mountain, a movable command flag was erected, and Azog stood under it, shouting loudly: "Come out, my army!" ”
In an instant, countless armies of orcs walked out of the valley with steps that could shake the earth, and instantly surrounded the Iron Foot Army, the Elven Army, and the Refugee Army!
This old fox finally can't bear it anymore!
