The terrifying river swept in, turbulent and turbulent, with turbid yellow mud rolling in. It seemed that there were countless angry monsters hidden below, choosing to devour people.
Because of unpreparedness, dry clover leaves surrounded by white foam can be seen everywhere on the river, aniseed materials for houses, woven reed mats with Gondor characteristics, and even the surface of the river is still flooded. The astonishing fishy smell made one almost vomit.
Such a scene can be said to be completely different from the previous impression of the Anduin River with blue sky, white clouds, white sails, and waves as flat as a mirror! Fortunately, although the flood seems to be monstrous and floods the vast Palenno Plain, the water level is not deep—the shallow part reaches the calf, and the deep part is at the waist. To be honest, Floods of this magnitude are estimated to be the greatest threat to Brother Jin Pi, and the rest of the people only need to keep themselves from being washed down, and the chance of drowning is very small.
What it comes down to is. After all, the Anduin River is the longest river in Middle-earth, and it is at the same level as the Mississippi River, Amazon River, and Nile River on the earth, so it is necessary to cut it off without heavy construction machinery, and then use it for flooding The Seventh Army is very unrealistic.
In fact, as early as in the previous nightmare space, the Jazz and their think tank team proposed a plan to block the water and break the embankment. The reason why it was finally rejected was because they calculated and analyzed it. It can be said that things like water attacks must be kept secret. Under the supervision of the 200,000 orc legion, it is theoretically impossible to achieve a large-scale rout. At best, it will pass through the Paliano Plain once along the flood channel created by Minas Tirith every year. Water, just fertilize once.
— What good would it do
It looks like it would be cool to let the orcs drink water and roll in the mud, but! Don't forget that in the human alliance, a very important support army is the cavalry of Rohan. Without them, the human alliance would never be able to persist until Aragorn led the ghost army back.
Therefore, for the Human Alliance, watering the Palenno Plains in a small way can only disgust the orcs at most, but, in turn, it is still extremely unfavorable behavior for them!
Think about the tragic situation of the poor Rohan cavalry losing their impact in Zeguo, so when the Jazz's think tank team proposed this plan, they were quickly dismissed and asked to strictly keep secrets. Pray that the other person will not think of this crucial element.
The flood peak rushed past, and the morale of the remaining soldiers of the Human Alliance gradually recovered, because they found that the torrent only washed away dozens of people in the first few waves, and then became exhausted, not only that , Even at the highest peak, the water level is at most up to the waist, so a hanging frightened heart slowly begins to let go.
However, as the saying goes, the less you know, the happier you are. At this time, the Jazz and the others are in a darker mood. In fact, they already know that these guys in front of them will definitely have a backhand, and they are still like chains. , a very vicious backhand!
Soon, those who were struggling in the muddy water saw dense sampans and rafts approaching in the distance! These small boats probably have a very shallow draft, and it is estimated that they can sail freely in the swamp. Without exception, all of them are pirates who are loudly excited and screaming! !
These pirates are dressed in evil shapes, with disheveled hair, and the clothes on their bodies are mainly black, which is very tattered, because there is a kind of flea-like parasite that is prevalent on the Middle-earth Continent, which likes to hide in the hair, causing a lot of damage. It bothers and spreads diseases, so more than 30% of the pirates are bald, and their hair is shaved to prevent the growth of this parasite.
However, the pirates are also wearing standard standard leather armor. It can be seen that the Umba pirates have almost formed a country. Those leather armors are tanned with two layers of animal skins, and then put in the middle with local red coconuts. The mats rubbed out of tree fibers have a very good protective effect on arrow clusters and swords, and can also prevent the spread of flames. Some boats are lit with raging fire barrels, which seem to be used to ignite torches and rockets use.
For Fang Sheyan's confidants, it was very smooth to persuade these suspicious pirates to do things. Compared with going to the battlefield and fighting face to face, they still think it is the most cost-effective way to weaken the enemy by building a dam first—in fact, if It wasn't the belief of the dark king Sauron who was supervising the battle, and this group of unscrupulous guys might have dispersed long ago.
It can be seen that the biggest weakness of the pirates is that they have no organization and discipline, and they are a chaotic group. In the contest with the regular army, this kind of mob is often looked down upon a lot. Under normal circumstances, the tens of thousands of Umbar pirates fighting on land with the few thousand remaining elites in Minas Tirith would surely end in complete defeat.
It's no wonder that the Umba pirates have such a weak sense of existence. It turns out that it is not unreasonable to be looked down upon by everyone.
But under Fang Sheyan's plan, even scrap iron has to show its own brilliance, even a piece of toilet paper needs to be discarded after wiping your face, then the table, and then your butt. Useful!
The Umbar pirates were indeed in chaos at this time, but they were washed up and down by the flood, and the Minas Tirith defenders looked like mud monkeys. Could there be any discipline? Fang Senyanmu has any way to make Umba pirates observe discipline and order in a short period of time, but he can think of a way to make a mess of well-trained enemies!
This is due to the chaos of oneself, the disorder of fighting against the enemy, and the fact that the pirates still come by boat, and they have an advantage innately, which makes up for the lack of combat power.
What's more vicious is that the amount of water accumulated in this short period of time is limited after all. It only needs to wait for more than ten minutes, and the water flow will slowly subside from the higher-lying Palenno Plain. A temporary swamp!
This means that the pirates saw a bad opportunity, and they couldn’t escape by boat when their morale collapsed. In such a muddy environment, the mobility of both sides was weakened to the extreme, so once a battle broke out, the weak would like to The chance of escaping is very low, so the weak side is doomed to fight desperately!
What Sheyan wants to fight is such a chaotic battle! Use the method of exchange to carry out a tragic war of attrition with the enemy. Do you still remember the battle plan that Sheyan drew up at the beginning? The power of an individual is insignificant in front of the power of a battle. The power of Fang Senyan's team is like a small wave in a big battle with thousands or tens of thousands of people. It will be wiped out quickly and can only affect one area at most. However, when this battle is over, the ace team's own strength plus their contribution will already be very important! !
The general situation of the endgame that Sheyan originally conceived has already taken shape!
Of course, as the saying goes, if you succeed, you will die. As for the number of Umbar pirates left after the battle, he has never considered it. Tens of thousands of pirates can leave a thousand people to provide for the Dark Fountain Hall. Faith is enough, I believe that the great dark king Sauron will not bother with these trivial details...
…
Compared with the previous battles, this bloody battle may not be exciting enough, but the tragic atmosphere is extremely chilling!
Under Fang Senyan's calculations, neither side had much retreat, and could only detonate a brazen fight. After the flood receded, on the Palennuo Plain, the high terrain would be extremely muddy, but the low terrain would be left behind. There are puddles under the water, but the areas in these puddles are all shocking bright red, and everywhere you can see the terrifying scene of mutual losses after fighting each other.
In this muddy environment, it is really a paradise for long-range attackers. It is difficult for the opponent to dodge the attack, and it is almost a hundred hits. However, if it is attacked, then this place is a nightmare like hell.
In such an environment, Fang Sheyan is also powerless as Nalegolas, the elven prince. With his incomparably sharp longbow, he almost has the upper hand. , A dozen people died tragically under his arrows!
You know, those who can stay until now are all core figures in the team! A dozen or so people from these two teams died, which can be said to be severely damaged. Of course, Aziz, Zi, and Aldaris in Sheyan's team also reaped amazing benefits.
In the end, relying on the solo dance of the elven prince and the jazz's adaptability, he used several contractors who are good at earth magic and supernatural powers to create a dry road, and finally fled into Minas Tirith. There are still one or two troops Thousands of people, but more than half of these fighters were exchanged by the contractors.
Compared with the regular army, the biggest disadvantage of these exchanged soldiers is that they belong to a large number of different masters, and they fight on their own. War means death, but the selfishness of the contractors is often much greater than that of the rest, which often makes the plot soldiers top in front. It is precisely because of this that it can be recognized that at least the combat effectiveness of the soldiers exchanged by the contractor and the combat effectiveness of the plot soldiers is 2:3. It takes 300 soldiers to be exchanged by the contractors to be worth the 200 soldiers in the plot. Therefore, the more soldiers belonging to the contractors escaped, the more happy Sheyan would be.
In comparison, the Umbardian pirates survived with close to 3,000 people. It must be said that this muddy area seems to be their home field and has a great advantage. Fang Sheyan is not just blindly ruthless coercion, these guys who can survive will not be allowed to be cannon fodder to attack the city, just do a good job of defense, their role is to provide faith to the Dark Fountain Hall and keep it unbreakable .
