Chapter 584 The true cavalry is unparalleled!
"More than 1 strong orcs???"

Everyone was taken aback.

How could they possibly deal with so many strong orcs?

After all, strong orcs are different from half-orcs.

"Yes, and the scouts reported that they march very fast. These strong orcs have amazing physical strength and can travel long distances without much rest. According to visual inspection, they will arrive at us in a few days, and we are now There is no way to fight against Saruman's army in this situation."

Théoden said with a solemn expression.

"Then what are you going to do?"

asked Gandalf.

"...Abandon this place and move all the people and troops to Helm's Deep. There are natural strong walls there. If it is there, we may be able to fight against those strong orcs!"

Théoden said that this was the best way he could think of. Otherwise, even if the Rohan cavalry was invincible, the number of Rohan cavalry was too small and it would be irrational to start a war with these powerful orcs.

Not to mention Saruman, the white-robed wizard. He didn't know that Gandalf, the gray-robed wizard, had gained power comparable to that of the white-robed wizard, so Saruman was still like a huge mountain weighing on their hearts.

"Your Majesty the King, this is not rational behavior. These are just some of the powerful orcs in Saruman's army. What he wants to do is to unite Rohan with the orc armies of Mordor. Once they succeed, Middle-earth will be destroyed." There will never be peace!"

Gandalf said immediately.

"But what can I do?"

Of course Théoden knew about this, but the problem was that he had nothing to do. Even if Eomer and the others brought back a lot of Rohan cavalry, even if they added two hundred royal guards and more than 100 elite cavalry, they would not be able to do it now. Just over 1000 cavalry.

It is impossible to fight back, and we can only rely on Helm's Deep to resist the more than 1 strong orc army.

"There are still a thousand cavalry, aren't there?"

Chang Wei suddenly thought of a cool operation at this time, and then took the initiative to speak.

"Yes, what's wrong, Wizard Chang Wei?"

King Théoden asked in confusion, and everyone else looked at Chang Wei who spoke in surprise.

"How many Rohan cavalry are proficient in mounted archery today? They are not the kind of mounted archers with fixed targets, but real mounted archers!"

Chang Wei asked with a smile.

Théoden didn't know why, but after all, he was the King of Hussars, and he was the one who took the lead and led the troops on countless expeditions, so he knew the situation of his men very clearly. He also knew it clearly again these days when he was sorting out internal affairs and appeasing the army. .

Otherwise, he would not want to give up here and move to Helm's Deep to resist the orc army.

"There are about 100 people, what's wrong?"

Théoden thought for a while and said, there must be more than just these people, but the Rohan cavalry is not a cavalry style, they are a charge style, and those who are proficient in cavalry are only more than 200 royal guards, and there are more than 100 Elite cavalry.

The problem is that the royal guards must not leave their posts without permission.

"That's enough. Leave them to me. I will take them to delay the advance of the Orc army. When the time comes, the king, you only need to take the citizens and leave."

On the contrary, Chang Wei felt that this amount was very good and more appropriate.

It's just that the Rohan cavalry are not light cavalry after all. They are all half-armored and heavy-armored cavalry, as well as heavy lances. These need to be modified.

"Chang Wei, what are you thinking? That is an army of more than 1 strong orcs, and you are taking 100 people to cut off the rear?"

Aragorn said in disbelief, this is such an unimaginable behavior, it can't even be said to be an adventure, it can only be said to be courting death.

Even Théoden was startled. "More than 100 cavalry can't delay us for long. If that's the case, we might as well go together."

Théoden himself boasts that he has been fighting all his life and has never seen any scenes. The cavalry is very powerful, and the orcs will be crushed. The problem is that the difference in numbers is not so huge!
"Wizard Chang Wei, although Rohan's cavalry is very powerful, it is not as powerful as you imagine."

Théoden thought that Chang Wei was deceived by the reputation of the Rohan cavalry as invincible. Although he was right, the Rohan cavalry was crushed when there was no more than five times the difference in numbers, but against The difference in numbers is too great, and the Rohan cavalry will be gone in the blink of an eye.

"Don't worry, I'm not joking, and I won't joke with my own life or the lives of others. What's more, your marching speed with the citizens must be very slow, and because the civilians have not received training, their troops will be It will get longer and longer, and it will be difficult to look at each other from head to tail.”

Chang Wei shook his head.

Even if Chang Wei didn't explain this truth so clearly, they could actually figure it out.

"When faced with such a situation, the strong orcs will definitely send a small group of wolf cavalry to harass you. In this case, it will be more difficult for you to retreat. There may be heavy casualties. Rohan will still be left. How many civilians reach Helm's Deep is a question."

Chang Wei said seriously.

Théoden hesitated.

"What are you going to do?"

he asked.

"secret."

Of course it was impossible for Chang Wei to say it.

Théoden was silent for a long time.

"Wizard Chang Wei, can I trust you?"

he asked.

"That depends on what you think."

Chang Wei did not answer directly.

In the end, Théoden had no choice but to believe in Chang Wei.

Then Chang Wei saw the 150 Rohan cavalry that Théoden had prepared for him. They were wearing iron armor, covering their whole bodies, holding lances, and each one had a completely different spirit.

"Very good. Next, take off all your armor and lances. Everyone brings two horses, three long bows and two short bows. Only bring three days' worth of food and water. All other space is available. Bring arrows!”

Chang Wei said to these cavalry.

His words caused a strong reaction from the cavalry.

"Master Wizard, if we take off our armor and lances, how can we fight against the orcs?"

The leading general couldn't help but said to Chang Wei.

He felt that Chang Wei was just a layman giving guidance to an expert. The biggest advantage of the Rohan cavalry was the combined charge of armor and lance.

"That's right, Lord Wizard, if we don't have armor and lances, our combat capabilities will drop by [-]% or more. Facing powerful orcs like the strong orcs, we can't do anything about them. Such behavior, I I really can’t agree with it!”

The cavalrymen all expressed their objections.

"What I have obtained is absolute command over you. Even if I ask you to die, you cannot question it and can only execute it. Do you understand?"

Chang Wei said to them calmly.
