Maybe it was Lucius' looks, or maybe it was his voice that was the first clear command in the panic.

When Lucius and the other elves including Annis stumbled down the city wall, half of the original five hundred elves ran in the same direction as Lucius said.

Lucius knew that if Annis came back to his senses, he would immediately question him, which might delay the most important opportunity.So he didn't dare to keep it at all, and directly cast a silent spell on Annis, pulled him and ran, while running, he quickly explained in as short and clear words as possible: "There are too many troops outside, so we can rush back. We are too few , unable to defend the open area behind the city gate. Reduce the defensive range, street fighting, and the number of people using swords and shields. Those two roads connect a main arsenal and a narrow road leading to the mountain. There is only one direction for the enemy to come. Let the archers go to the tall buildings on both sides of the intersection to hide. The swords and shields are scattered to guard the buildings on both sides of the road, and the half-orcs are led into the alley, strangled, and defended."

"It's impossible to defend if we don't meet, we only have five hundred!" Annis was relieved after hearing Lucius' words, and refuted extremely anxiously.He finally understood Lucius' intention, but he didn't believe that the method would work at all.

There are not many real cities in Middle-earth, and one can guess that the elves will not have rich street fighting experience in their war history.

Of course Lucius knew that the number of orcs was too unexpected, and the number of elves left behind was pitifully small.But rushing out, [-] elves couldn't break through the half-orc crowd between the elves' main army and the city.Even if the impact is successful, the elves who are not as strong as the orcs will definitely suffer heavy casualties.And if the speed of the impact is not fast enough, they might be attacked from behind by the half-orcs rushing over from the other side of the city.

However, the more than 4000 elves definitely had the possibility of rushing back to the city, and Lucius could be sure that the main force would return without even looking.

The number of humans is too small, and those who stay in the city basically have no fighting power.If Bud didn't take people back to rescue, the old, weak, women and children of human beings would have absolutely no chance of surviving.

The North City Gate is the nearest to Erebor. If the elves and humans return, they will definitely start from here.But the location next to the city gate is too wide, and there are many intersections. If 500 people just guard the city gate, they may not wait for the main force to rush back, and they will be completely wiped out by the half-orcs one step earlier.

The reason why he chose the second and third intersections instead of the alley next to the city gate was because Lucius didn't dare.

The shaking of the city wall shows that the enemy has the ability to damage the city wall, and that side will definitely be attacked first.If there is an alley to buffer and two long enough alleys to dodge in depth, the five hundred elves will definitely have a chance to survive.

"There's no time to explain! Listen to me! Go and deliver the order!" Lucius couldn't run as fast as Anis, so he simply pushed the other party, telling him to rush forward to command the other elves.

"But..." Annis took two steps, still not sure.

"But what, I have commanded street battles at least a hundred times, you can listen to me if you don't want to die!" Lucius raised his voice again angrily, what kind of demeanor, any reservations can only be forgotten.The once gloomy atmosphere erupted for a while, and Annis trembled at the sharp eyes, and the pace of his feet couldn't help but quicken.

Lucius glared at Annis fiercely, not letting his rebellious emotions and disbelief have any room to rise.

In the end, the self-confident prevailed. Annis hadn't made up his mind yet. The other elves who had been with the two of them just now followed their intuition and chose to obey Lucius' orders.In a blink of an eye, among the five hundred elves, the elves with the main right to speak were selected, and Lucius' leadership was directly determined.

Their decisiveness finally won a little more life for all the elves. After Lucius delivered the order, he knew that he could not keep up with the speed of the other elves who had been training all the year round, so he stopped running blindly, slowed down, and pointed the wand in his hand To defend the roof and pillars of the house directly opposite the destination, a series of smashing spells were used one after another.

The shattering spell specially used to open the way took effect quickly, and the house that Lucius was mainly targeting quickly suffered from the torture and fell down heavily.The two intersections next to it were suddenly blocked by broken stone walls of houses.

At this time, some of the elves who started to run in the front had already climbed up to the house closest to the intersection according to the order, and directly witnessed Lucius' move.

Lucius didn't notice these "spectators" of his own. Judging from his first feeling that another house was blown up, Lucius put away his wand and concentrated on running away.It was too close to the city gate, his footsteps were slower than other elves, and it was too late to deal with one or two more intersections.

At this time, the five hundred elves who were working hard for their own survival had no time to think about the situation outside the city.Seeing Lucius' actions, even if the smart elves couldn't accurately understand all of Lucius' future plans, they could still understand Lucius' intention to create obstacles for the orcs' attack.For a moment, everyone tried their best to find available stones from around them and pushed them to the intersection of the two alleys where they were going to hide.

When Lucius ran to the place, the second intersection was half blocked by boulders moved by several elves.

"Very good, no need to pile up anymore. Archers look for attack points close to the intersection, hide, and don't attack without my order. Sword and shield players, in groups of three to four, enter a house in two groups and guard near the door. "Lucius gasped for breath, and continued to direct, "Pick the five archers with the longest range and go to the corner building in the depths of the alley. Once the half-orcs rush through the intersection, attract them to attack in the depths." The swords and shields close to the intersection should be hidden first, and the orcs should go deeper into the alley as much as possible to disperse the defensive pressure. The two sets of swords and shields at the same location should attack in rotation to minimize casualties."

A group of elves nodded repeatedly, and immediately dispersed in twos and threes according to the order.

After all, the regular troops from the Woodland Kingdom, once the elves made up their minds, the fighting qualities they showed saved Lucius a lot of effort.

Thanks to this, the first group of elves led by Annis to carry the arrows successfully returned to the alley before the orcs attacked.

After distributing the arrows, Annis went directly to Lucius and asked for instructions, "What should I do next?"

Lucius squinted his eyes and looked out from the leaky gap on the second floor of the house. His whole body showed a determination like a cunning hunter: "Wait."

There is a large two-story building at the second intersection. The archers each found a gap as an arrow opening for attacking, and guarded it tightly.

Lucius and Annis were next to a half-damaged wall, and their vision covered the north city gate and the intersection in the southwest and northwest directions.

The first orcs who came here came from the other side of the city, and there were not many of them.

When Lucius gave an order, all the archers who had been ready to go retreated, and the first batch of "bait" selected by Annis ran out of the room immediately.

In addition to the 20 regular troops, there were more than [-] logistics elves who had gathered not far away when they heard Lucius' amplified sound.After hearing the tactics designed by Lucius, several men among these logistics elves volunteered to take on the important task of showing their figures at the intersection and attracting the orcs to chase them into the alley.

Deling's logistics elf was a little nervous. After confirming that a half-orc saw him, he didn't dare to stop at all, and ran desperately into the depths.

The half-orcs quickly chased after them, and the half-orcs seen around also spotted the target one by one. A total of more than 20 half-orcs who appeared were immediately attracted, divided into two groups, and rushed into the alley one after another.

All the elves hiding in the outermost house held their breath nervously, their eyes fixed on the orcs.Once they exposed themselves in advance, the orcs would not go deep inside, and Lucius' plan would fail.No one dares to act rashly at such a time.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

call out--

Using the roar of the "bait" as a signal, the archer at the end of the alley showed up after counting silently for eight seconds, and started shooting directly.

After hearing the sound of the third wave of arrows, the elf warriors hiding in the innermost came out from the houses on both sides and attacked the orcs directly with their swords.

In order to avoid accidental injury, Lucius asked the innermost archer to only shoot three times before hiding again.

After the shooting stopped, all the sword and shield fighters who could see the half-orc outside the door from the gap attacked at the same time, harvesting the life of the half-orc at the fastest speed.At the same time, the elves who were the first to end the battle cleaned the battlefield, dragged the half-orc corpses to some obscure places in the corner, and recovered the arrows that were still available.

"here we go again!"

Half of the archers who did not have an attack mission were paying attention to the battle situation ahead, while the other half did not dare to relax in the slightest. They were assigned to monitor all the surrounding intersections, see clearly the situation of the incoming enemy as soon as possible, and report to Lucius.

"One wave at Intersection No. [-], fifteen!"

"A wave at intersection No. 20, more than [-]!"

"Hide!" Lucius immediately asked the orderly to signal the elves deep in the alley, "'Bait' is ready!"

Once unfamiliar, twice proficient.

After initial results were obtained, the elves quickly accepted this method of fighting with as few casualties as possible.Although more and more half-orcs came, the efficiency of the elves was also increasing rapidly.Between ambush and attack, there is a quick transition between quiet and burst shots.

The unprecedented killing efficiency greatly encouraged all fighters.So much so that when the first casualty occurred, their self-confidence was not frustrated.

If you stick to it like this, you will survive!

Lucius kept a close eye on the situation in the open area behind the city wall, and under pressure, he steadily controlled the attack rhythm of the outermost archers.When hundreds of half-orc corpses were piled up in the two alleys, the real main group of elf archers even made a move just to relieve the pressure on the sword and shield fighters behind.

At this time, the elf who was specially observing the situation of the city gate shouted: "The city gate! A half-orc appeared backwards!"

"Half-orc archers appear at intersections three and four! About five!"

"A group of half-orcs appeared at the No. [-] intersection, the number is more than thirty!"

"I see! It's Your Majesty, it's Your Majesty who rushed into the city gate!"

"Orcs ready to shoot at the gates!"

"Go and support Your Majesty!"

Suddenly, several voices exploded in Lucius' ears at the same time.
