Chapter 567 Ice
The more than seven thousand cavalry of Rohan may sound like a small number, but they are a mass of people galloping on the plain, which looks extremely spectacular.
"The horses' abilities are also beyond those of ordinary horses. Their endurance, load-bearing, and sprinting are all quite amazing."
Tao Yu has the ability to ride, and she can easily feel the strength of the horse while riding on it.
It's even better than the bloody horses in the Tang Dynasty world.
The key is that so many of these horses were easily produced in Rohan to form a cavalry regiment!
Gondor also has their swan knights.
In terms of individual combat power alone, the average quality of the human beings created by the Creator God in Middle-earth is indeed quite good.
The army arrived near the Horn Castle, and Theojed, the prince of Rohan, personally came out with his bodyguard to greet them.
After seeing Éomer, he gave him a hearty hug.
It can be seen that the relationship between their cousins is very good, and there is no discord in the inheritance relationship between royal families.
"I didn't expect a few people to come directly with their army..."
Théojed is also an excellent commander.
After seeing the army here, I immediately understood the problem.
This is to clear away Essinger's trouble first!
Of course he completely agrees with this.
In fact, in the previous battle across the river, after feeling the bonus brought by Tao Yu's command, Siojied wanted this person to help push him across.
It's just that he has already helped me once, and he obviously has his own things to do, but he can't say much.
Then I helped write a letter and tried to help as much as possible. Maybe there would be unexpected rewards when I turned around.
I didn’t expect the rewards to come so quickly!
"Does Mr. Tao want to directly eliminate future troubles?"
Although he had already made his judgment, Théojed still asked with some expectation.
"Yes, those monsters before looked similar to orcs, and we felt we couldn't just sit idly by."
Tao Yu spoke righteously, and then added:
"The white-robed wizard Saruman has returned to his territory. I think it's best for us to go there together to help him."
"The previous attack was a great threat to us in Rohan. If Mr. Tao is willing, I am willing to hand over command and provide assistance as much as possible."
Sioged has personally experienced how strong Tao Yu's support was to the cavalry regiment.
Now I am convinced.
And the soldiers under his command will not reject him much either.
As long as Tao Yu didn't want to lead his army to counterattack Rohan, then it is estimated that the bonus efficiency this time can be even higher.
"This is the best thing..."
Of course Tao Yu would not be polite at this time.
It was only their first attempt to defeat their attempt to cross the river, so they had good digestion.
If we take the initiative to wipe out the strong orcs and the black barbarians this time, then maybe the 'Iron-Blooded Knight' can digest them all!
“We have been keeping surveillance on the other side of the river. After the white-robed wizard and his friends passed by, there seemed to be violent vibrations there, maybe a spell or something, and then the movements of those guys started. It’s much smaller, maybe it was a shock.”
Théojed shared his information.
Although his personal strength is not outstanding, he is still an ordinary mortal and does not have any unique extraordinary abilities.
To spy on the opponent's intelligence, it is more necessary to use scouts.
Before, Saruman summoned a flood to attack. Although it was blocked by the glacier that appeared behind him, there was no doubt about his strength!
If there hadn't been someone who took action secretly, then the flood alone might have wiped out all the enemies crossing the river.
This kind of visual impact and shock was quite big for the Rohan soldiers.
Coupled with Saruman's original reputation, they also had a sense of admiration for Saruman at this time.
I used to know that the white-robed wizard was very powerful and full of mystery.
But this time I really felt the power of nature!
"We just went over because we were worried about the white-robed wizard. After all, there were people who could stop him before. We still don't want to split up our forces." Tao Yu's words made Gandalf glance sideways.
This guy has obviously doubted Saruman, but he still speaks so righteously.
However, he also had some doubts now, and he did not reject Tao Yu's choice to do this now.
I just smoked the pipe in my mouth...
…
They were all Rohan's cavalry, and the lower-level commanders on both sides knew each other, so there was no problem in cooperating.
When Prince Théoged was willing to give up command, Éomer also integrated his troops.
A cavalry team of more than 10,000 people was formed.
When the team was forming, the cavalry formed a square formation, and the armor on the cavalry reflected silver brilliance in the sunlight.
Tao Yu, who was riding a horse at the front of the team, felt a little emotional when looking at the square formations in front of him.
The scale of these 10,000 cavalrymen already looks quite majestic, and you can't see the edges at a glance.
I really don’t know how terrifying the scale of the battle between hundreds of thousands of armies during the cold weapon period was.
"Everyone, those mysterious orcs and dark barbarians who have emerged have been keeping an eye on them. This time we will kill them all in one go, and then we can go to support Gondor in counterattacking Modor without any worries!"
Tao Yu's words were not said out loud, but because the connection between the legions has been formed, although it is not as good as the Fremen, relying on the connection between the legions, his meaning can be understood by the whole group instantly.
bluff~
All the cavalry roared loudly at the same time, with great momentum.
Tao Yu felt that her coordination had increased a bit.
Possessing extraordinary commanding abilities, he can easily complete the integration without having to have excessive commanding qualities.
Even during combat, each phalanx can easily understand the tasks they currently need to do.
"We crossed directly across the river, and now that the upper reaches of the glacier has not yet melted, it was a good time to pass."
After Tao Yu finished speaking, he pulled the horse's head and rode towards the Eisen River.
Sioged, who was standing next to Tao Yu in a deputy position, whispered to Tao Yu at this time
"The glacier upstream has not yet melted, but the water flow in the river below has been connected, so it may not be possible to go directly."
Soon Tao Yu also understood what he meant.
At this time, the water in the Eisen River seems to have risen a lot. After all, Saruman summoned the flood at the beginning, but after being blocked by ice, it is now slowly melting and 'releasing' the flood.
The surface of the river became more turbulent, and huge ice floes floated by from time to time.
Looking upstream, you can still see the glacier that looks like a city wall.
This made Tao Yu, who came to the river, shrug his shoulders and said casually
"Actually, I am also a wandering wizard..."
As he finished speaking, Tao Yu stretched out his palm in front of him, and then a faint blue light appeared in his eyes, and his flowing hair moved automatically without wind.
"Ice."
Following the low moan in Tao Yu's mouth.
Everyone who heard the sound suddenly felt a chill emanating from their bones.
The witch path controls the frost, coupled with the blessing of ‘obscene words’.
In an instant, the river in front began to freeze rapidly, using the floating ice floating on the river as a fulcrum.
Click, click, click~
The freezing of the water surface caused the squeezing sound to increase in volume, and then quickly extended upstream.
The entire river basin ahead was covered in ice.
Then Tao Yu put down his palm, and the blue light in his eyes faded.
"The cavalry won't slip when crossing the ice, right?"
"No, it won't..."
