The Lord of the Rings: Lords of Middle-earth.

Chapter 741 Joining the network

"Damn it! Retreat! All infantrymen cover the evacuation of civilians!" The Dowinian heavy-armored swordsmen on the city wall roared after seeing the flying magic flares.

"Swish!" Everyone drew out their sharp swords and stood on the city wall, then placed their heavy shields against the breastwork to block the orcs' arrows.

"Archers, protect the lord and civilians and leave! Heavy infantry, line up to meet the enemy!" The Dowinian swordsmen consciously took on the task of covering the rear.

"Let's go! My lord! Let's leave here!" Ymir carried Lord Ismir without saying a word.

"Evacuate! Soldiers, protect the civilians and evacuate in an orderly manner!" Ymir looked at her soldiers in Windhelm and gave the order.

Soon the Goblin Knight and other soldiers gathered all the people in Windhelm Town. More than 200 people, carrying large and small bags prepared in advance, ran towards the east gate in an orderly manner under the guidance of the soldiers.

……

"Oh no! It's the retreat signal! General Renault and his men are no match for the enemy! Notify other generals to prepare to cross the river to pick up General Renault and his men as they evacuate!" The dragon knights hovering over the Rapids River for dynamic reconnaissance naturally could not fail to see the huge magic signal. It was obvious that something had gone wrong with Renault.

"it is good!"

……

"Damn it! Prepare the ferry!" At this moment, the generals in the Lulong Fortress were stunned when they heard this catastrophic news, but Lafitte Antoine was the first to adjust himself with his own cultivation. He turned around and gave orders to the soldiers.

"Lukemerk! You stay here! I'll go and support General Renault! All dragon knights, follow me!" Lafitte Anthony gritted his teeth and said helplessly. Facing the enemy who could force Renault to retreat, Lafitte Anthony was also frightened.

……

"Puff!" The Dorwinion heavy swordsmen stationed on the walls of Windhelm were already furious. They were surrounded by Orc soldiers who were several times their number, but these great heavy infantrymen were not at all panicked. They raised their heavy swords and broad shields in their hands and crushed any enemy who tried to provoke them into the dust with one sword and one shield.

"Kill!" The sword energy was crisscrossing the city wall! Without the high-level combat power, the Dorwinian heavy swordsmen were like wolves entering a meat grinder, tearing the enemy madly. With their iron-blooded defense, these heavy swordsmen successfully made these orcs sober up. They hesitated to move forward, obviously frightened by the bloody killing of the Dorwinian heavy swordsmen. Even the most fanatical orcs could not ignore the soldiers around them being cut in half by these killing machines. The blood and wailing inevitably hit their morale. In this way, these isolated heavy swordsmen successfully stopped the aggressive orcs. Only a few of them bypassed Windhelm Town to chase those who evacuated... ...

"Ouch~"

Listening to the orcs' shrill cries, Lafitte Anthony helplessly scratched his ears. Are these bastards always so brave? Who gave them the courage to face the archers in formation? Using a dense formation to charge against the archers' rain of arrows? Lafitte Anthony wanted to pull up the orc captain who was shot like a sieve. If he didn't come to the celebration banquet tonight, humans would not dare to pick up their chopsticks!

Didn’t you see that two hundred Battanian archers plus the two hundred Battanian archers brought by Lafitte Anthony for support, a total of four hundred people, only shot three rounds of North Wind Arrows, and nearly a thousand orcs were nailed to the ground.

"No? You guys are running away with your heads covered in your hands because of this? Where is General Renault?" Lafitte Anthony was shocked by these disguised orcs from the desert. A general would be so amused by such an opponent! Isn't this just to gain military merit?

  Lafitte Antoine, who was confident in his attack, directly ordered the dragon knights to escort the residents of Windhelm Town across the river, while he led 400 Badanian archers to support the battlefield. According to his understanding, there was no reason for them to escape with the enemy's level.

It's not that Lafitte Anthony didn't think of using the dragon knights to provide air support, but after looking at the shock waves and violent explosions in the sky, Lafitte Anthony decisively gave up the idea. Didn't he see that Dos Anthony and the Ringwraiths were fighting happily? If the dragon knights rashly intervened in the contest between top professionals, it would be tantamount to seeking death! The aftermath alone was enough for them to bear, and the dense forest environment was not conducive to their performance, so Lafitte Anthony did not force them to join the battle.

So the humans who were supposed to retreat gathered an infantry under the command of Lafitte Anthony and fought back. This was unexpected for the orcs. After all, most of the real elite orcs died in the aftermath of the battle between Dos Anthony and Senar. Only a few real orc regular troops joined those "fake troops" to participate in the siege of Windhelm. As a result, a small but extremely elite human army suddenly fought back, and the dense rain of arrows made the orcs almost pray to the Beast God.

Fortunately, the orcs became smarter after suffering a loss. They dispersed into teams of several people under the command of the regular army. This made the archers who were originally killing in large numbers lose the fun of swatting flies. When those orcs rushed over with howling, the orcs all showed excitement. After all, although the archer troops were all strong guys, they did not have heavy armor in order to shoot the bow, which gave the orcs hope of killing these annoying "human flies".

  Then their nightmare began! Facing the approaching orcs, these archers did not show the panic that the orcs imagined. Instead, they smiled and put their longbows on their backs, took out a small round shield with their backhands, and then picked up a shiny little hammer!

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

"Kacha!"

  The teeth-grinding sound of bones breaking rang out, and the Orcs who rushed over despairingly discovered that this human archer unit was not only a pure professional army, but the most frightening thing was that they were actually heavily armed archers! In a field battle on the plains, a scattered armored unit faced a well-organized heavily armored unit. I'm sure everyone would have no other answer to what the final outcome would be... When these Batdanian tough guys shouted "Long live" and defeated the mob vanguard at the cost of zero casualties and entered Windhelm Town to join the defenders, the fate of these Orcs was already doomed!

Under the command of the elite orcs, these wandering orcs died in large numbers under the walls of Windhelm. This not-so-tall wooden and stone wall became a mountain that was difficult for all the orcs to climb. Lafitte Anthony was proficient in micro-control skills. With his excellent front-line rotation operations, he allowed the soldiers to participate in the battle evenly. This not only enhanced the vitality of the defense line but also spread the damage evenly, with everyone bearing a little blow, instead of catching the elite front-line soldiers and beating them to death!

By the time the orcs realized something was wrong, they already had no way to retreat. The less than a thousand orc soldiers left desperately launched a desperate charge towards the city wall, but were all shot and killed by the well-rested Badanian archers under the city wall. So far, the defense of Windhelm Town can be said to have been a great victory!

  The battle between the middle and lower horses ended with the victory of mankind, but the battle between the upper horses was full of dangers for mankind!

The battle between Sernar and Dos Anthony was evenly matched, but Lidilias and Khamul completely suppressed the combination of Kaslo and Renault. This caused Weiss, who was originally floating in the sky watching the show, to no longer remain indifferent, and then the Ringwraiths showed their real fangs!
