Chapter 594 Legendary Cavalry!

The Horn Rock at the mouth of the Deep Ravine is a part of the cliff that protrudes from the north side of the valley. The mountains surrounding the valley are steeper on the east side and flatter on the west.

The existence of the Crystal Cave and the Deep Ravine makes this place an ideal defense. The outer edge of the valley is protected by the Helm's Wall and the ravine under the wall. Behind the high wall is the great fortress Hornburg. There is a long slope extending from behind the Helm's Wall to the gate of Hornburg.

There is a meadow between Helm's Deep Ravine and the wall. The Deep Ravine Defense Wall inside the Helm's Wall protects the inner side of the valley. This wall is made of solid stone and is 250 feet long. There is only one opening where the Deep Ravine Stream flows.

The Deep Ravine Defense Wall is 250 feet long. During the Battle of Hornburg, King Theoden sent 2,000 soldiers to guard the Deep Ravine Defense Wall and Hornburg, but their number was too small to defend Helm's Wall.

Inside the fortifications are stables and arsenals. Behind these is a huge hall built on the land dug out of the mountains.

The return of the cavalry caused a commotion in Helm's Deep.

King Theoden brought Theoden, Eomer, Aragorn, Gandalf, Legolas and others to welcome the triumphant cavalry.

No words are needed, just from the fact that they didn't see a single orc, and the high spirits and fierce momentum of this cavalry, the answer is known.

They completed their mission perfectly and blocked the orcs, and not a single orc could break through their interception and blockade.

This is simply a miracle!

An unimaginable miracle!

Theoden and others couldn't wait to know how Chang Wei and others did it, because they couldn't even imagine it, which made them feel incredible.

"Your Majesty, I am honored to have fulfilled your mission!"

The general said respectfully to Theoden.

"You have worked hard, general, and wizard Chang Wei."

Theoden knew very well that Chang Wei was the creator of all these miracles.

Aragorn also had an expression as if he had met Chang Wei for the first time, or rather, such an expression had appeared many times.

After all, Chang Wei always brings him a refreshing feeling.

"We successfully intercepted the advance of the orcs."

The general said excitedly.

"I know that we were very safe when we retreated, and we did not encounter even a single attack from the orcs. You have completed the task excellently and saved many civilians and soldiers. I am proud of you!"

King Theoden nodded.

"Your Majesty, you can't imagine how many orcs we killed!"

The general said.

"Oh, there should be two thousand orcs, right?"

King Theoden smiled slightly, and in a good mood he said a relatively large number.

"No, Your Majesty, we killed many, many orc soldiers, more than 500 orc wolf cavalry, more than 1,000 heavy armored orc infantry, and more than 3,000 ordinary orc soldiers!"

The general's words could not hide his excitement, and the civilians in the castle who heard the noise and came out to check heard his words, and they all showed unbelievable expressions.

Not to mention King Theoden and his men.

They killed more than 4,500 orcs?

There were more than 10,000 orcs in this invasion. Doesn't that mean they killed at least 40% or 50% of them?

Although we know that more than 10,000 orcs are likely to be 18,000 or even 19,000, there is no doubt that they killed so many orcs, which greatly reduced their pressure in the future.

"Not only that, we attacked their rear. Now the orcs have to starve or eat their companions to rush here. They will probably lose about 1,000 people."

Chang Wei stepped forward and said.

Everyone was stunned. So, didn't they cause more than 5,000 orc casualties?

"We won a great victory!!!"

"Great!"

"With so many orcs dead, they probably won't dare to continue to attack us, right?"

All the civilians, soldiers, old people, children, women, men, everyone cheered loudly.

The brilliant record of this cavalry is really legendary, and it can even be recorded in the history of Rohan. They even thought of a name, called "Legendary Cavalry"!

Their loud declaration was undoubtedly an inspiring move. After all, unlike these cavalrymen who were full of high confidence, the faces of the civilians and soldiers in the entire Helm's Deep were dull and their eyes were lifeless.

They were all very uneasy and didn't know how to resist such a huge army of orcs.

They were very afraid, and the reason was very simple, even obvious at a glance.

The entire Helm's Deep had only a few hundred defenders, and even if the civilians evacuated here were included, there were only a little over a thousand. Such an army had to resist the attack of more than 10,000 orcs, which was equivalent to each person having to deal with ten or even more orcs.

The orcs were stronger than the orcs, but they were not the opponents of human soldiers. In a one-on-one duel, human soldiers would definitely win.

But now it was not a one-on-one duel, but a legion battle. No matter how strong the individual soldiers were, they could not reverse the advantage of numbers.

It can be said that everyone here was... a result of death.

"How long will it take for the orc army to arrive?"

King Theoden felt much more relaxed and asked.

"It will probably take another day. Although hunger will slow them down, they will not be able to stop them for long after all. Our numbers are too small. I forgot to ask the cavalry who left to set up traps. In that case, maybe we can delay it for a while. ”

Chang Wei said.

"We have done a good job, but there is no need to continue to delay. The supplies in Helm's Deep are not very sufficient. We came in too hasty and did not expect you to be able to stop all the orcs, so we did not bring much supplies. ”

Aragorn stepped forward and said.

They thought that even if Chang Wei and the others could stop the orcs, there would still be some orcs that would slip through. After all, there were only over a hundred of them, and the prairie was so big, how could they block it?

That's why they finished the work in a hurry. Even if they found no Orcs later and everyone arrived at Helm's Deep safely, they didn't dare to transport supplies. What if Chang Wei and the others came back and the Orcs chased them? manage?

Wouldn't that be equivalent to committing suicide?

"That's right, that's true, but it would also be nice if we could reduce the number of Orcs a little bit."

Chang Wei nodded. He thought that this time after Théoden had enough time and opportunity to prepare, the situation in Helm's Deep would be very different. Unexpectedly, the plot was still similar to the original plot. At most, there would be a lot less casualties and more. hundreds of civilians and soldiers.
