Due to Rohan's relative independence and growing military strength, the elves have long been worried. The initial thought was that although King Theoden of Rohan was difficult to deal with, he would always die. If the elf's agent inherits the throne in the future, the mighty Rohan will be a power that the elf can rely on in the future. For this reason, just before Gandalf and his gang intervened in Rohan's affairs, Theoden's nephew, Iomo, under the secret order of the Elves, took the opportunity of hunting to kill his cousin and heir to the Rohan throne, Théodred. Since the throne of Rohan has always been passed on from men to women, he became the heir to the throne of Rohan. As usual, he blamed the orcs under Saruman. But this time, the lie was exposed by Saruman's emissary, Gríma. Because Saruman is hoping to form an alliance with Rohan, how can he send someone to attack Théodred at this moment? It could not have been the manslaughter of the orcs under Saruman. The Wizarding Fort had always had strict military discipline. Soon after, a leader of the orcs personally scummed a scum of orcs who wanted to kill two Hobbit captives. Therefore, the real murderer is obvious. However, the power of the elves in Rohan was very strong, and Theoden could only endure the grief and expelled Iomo, who had a background of elves, out of the country.
After the conspiracy of the elves was revealed, it was decided that Gandalf and a group would enter Rohan in the name of the ring and forcefully launch a coup. Originally, Theoden and Grima were prepared for this move, but they did not expect that the palace guard leader Háma had secretly surrendered to the elves. With his acquiescence, Gandalf carried weapons into the palace and attacked Theoden and Grima. A surprise attack launched. Thanks to Háma's assistance, the guardian team quickly controlled the situation, and Gandalf beat the old and frail Theoden in public, and lied to exorcise Theoden. How similar is this ugly drama to phenomena in the real world! It was only because Theoton was highly respected in the Rohan country that Gandalf and the gang did not attack him. Frightened by the lust of Gandalf and the elves, Theoden could only keep a low profile and expelled Saruman's emissary Grima. The relationship between Wizard Castle and Rohan was completely broken.
After seizing power, Gandalf and his gang were proud and domineering. Gandalf further demanded that Rohan and the Wizarding Castle go to war immediately, to "head-on" his opponent. As a loyal running dog of the elves, Gandalf's idea is very vicious: Because the Wizarding Fort and Rohan were in the honeymoon period before, there was no army near the king's city, there were only old and weak women and children. Now fighting against the Wizarding Fort will undoubtedly hit the stone with a pebble, and Rohan will surely die. After the demise of Rohan, his powerful army can only be attached to the leadership of the elves and will retaliate wildly at the Wizarding Fort. In this way, not only to please the master, but also to avenge the revenge of being swept out by the Wizarding Fort. Theoton certainly knew Gandalf's true intentions, and firmly disagreed. However, Luohan's affairs are no longer his decision. Aragorn reminded him: No matter what you think, war must be started. Theoden was very dissatisfied with the arrogance of Gandalf and his group, and said that he wanted to quit. For the time being, the Gandalf group, who had to use Theoton's prestige to win over Rohan's army, gave in and agreed to Theoden's withdrawal of the people to the Valley of the Helmets.
The Gandalf group did not understand the purpose of the scheming Theoton's move at first, so they agreed. Gandalf also eagerly recalled Rohan's army in the distance. His wishful thinking is that the strong Saint Helm Valley fortifications can also achieve the purpose of depleting the strength of the Wizard Fort. If you can hold the Saint Helm Valley at that time, you will come inside and out. Even if the Saint Helm Valley falls, Luohan’s old and weak women and children will also There will be heavy casualties, and Rohan's army will avenge it.
After Saruman knew that Gandalf and his gang had taken control of Rohan, he realized that war between the two countries was inevitable. As Luohan's military strength prevailed, the only chance for the Wizarding Castle was to become an empty opportunity for Luohan in the country and take the initiative to attack. To this end, he sent wolf cavalry as the vanguard to attack the Rohan people who were heading to the Valley of the Helm.
In the battle with the wolf cavalry, Aragorn fell down the cliff. Theoton was very dissatisfied with the elf thug, so he refused to rescue Aragorn because of the tight time. He must be wondering why his niece, Eowyn (?/SPAN> Eowyn), whom he admired so much, is so interested in Aragon. In his mind, the more such people die, the better.
Aragorn is very lucky, he did not die, he also came to the Valley of the Helm. After observing the terrain of Saint Helm Valley, he understood the real intention of the foresighted Theoton to evacuate the people to the Saint Helm Valley. Saint Helm Valley has only one exit. Once the line of defense fails, the people in Saint Helm Valley will become turtles in the urn, at the mercy of the enemy. When Frodo later wrote a history book, he who was not there took it for granted that Saruman would order his army to "kill the Rohan people." In fact, Saruman would not be so stupid. After controlling the Valley of the Helm, he would of course take the old and weak women and children of Luohan in the valley as hostages, and in turn threaten Luohan's army to serve him. Now Theotun's meaning is obvious: even if the kingdom of Rohan is destroyed, the army of Rohan will not be handed over to the elves or Gandalf. And if Saruman gets Rohan's army, plus his original elite Uruk-hai, it will be enough to sweep the middle earth. Theoden bound the fate of the motherland and the elves together.
The elves who only understood the situation now were very frightened, and quickly dispatched their lifeblood: the elven archer troops. Strangely, the happiest one is Aragon. Theoton was thinking, maybe Eowyn is right, Aragorn is not just a eagle dog of the elves... the
battle has begun. The performance of the long-lost elven archers in the battle is surprising. Its long-range attack ability is not satisfactory. When it comes to close hand-to-hand combat, with the exception of a few elites like Yglas, the elven archers appear to be powerless, allowing Uruk-hai to slaughter them, and there is no "Middle-Earth Dynasty" at all. The demeanor of an attacker. Fortunately, Luohan soldiers and civilians fought bravely. Under the leadership of Theoden, Aragorn and Iowen, they finally persisted until the arrival of reinforcements, and finally swept the main force of Wizard Fort like autumn leaves...
The main force of the Wizarding Castle was wiped out, and Gandalf was not satisfied. In order to completely destroy the wizard fort, he was frantic and instigated the tree spirit to crack open the dam, and completely destroyed the wizard fort of his motherland. In order to shirk the responsibility, he also arranged for two hobbits to walk with the tree spirits to prove that the tree spirits' move was based on righteous indignation against the wizard's fort to cut trees. But unfortunately, the clumsy performance of the tree spirit can't justify it at all. Let me ask, why didn’t the tree spirits convene a meeting sooner or later at the critical moment when the Wizarding Fort and Rohan were fighting and the interior of the Wizarding Fort was empty to discuss which party to assist? The relationship between the Wizarding Fort and Rohan just broke down (it was almost an alliance before). How did the tree spirits wonder about the prophet? Obviously, the meeting was arranged early, and whoever supported it was decided early. Some of it was done for the two little hobbit fools. The reason why the tree spirits destroyed the wizard fort was that the wizard fort felled trees indiscriminately. This is even stranger. Wouldn't Rohan cut trees indiscriminately? How did their houses, city walls (note the stakes around the city), armors, and weapons come from? Yes, Luohan developed early, and most of the trees were cut down in the early development of Luohan, but why didn't the tree spirit say at that time? Now that the Wizarding Castle is going to develop, it consumes some resources, so it immediately puts people on the label of "damaging the environment". In fact, not to mention the many creatures drowned in the Wizarding Fort, maybe they deserve to belong to the "Evil Alliance" and they deserve to die. But opening the dam will not damage the environment? The trees downstream must have drowned a lot, not to mention the flowers and plants all over the ground (laughs). The tree spirit did this utterly conscience, and he didn't have any retribution: because of the time soaked in the water, all of them suffered from severe arthritis, and the rest of their lives were spent in bed. This is not to mention.
The powerful combat power shown by the Rohan in the Battle of Helm Valley shocked Elrond, the elven patriarch. Luohan's 2000 cavalrymen were able to eliminate the main force of Wizard Fort in one fell swoop (even if they were consumed in the previous battle, the Wizard Fort still had at least 6,7000 at the time). In fact, Rohan was able to assemble more than 10,000 men and horses1, together with the wise leadership of King Theoden, made Elrond sit on pins and needles. "Maybe, only by using Modo can we weaken Rohan and get rid of Theoton", he thought secretly, starting a new plan.
Elrond didn't realize that no matter how he did his best, the decline of the elves was inevitable, and the middle-earth land was bound to usher in her new master.
1. In the third episode, Theoton summoned six thousand knights and sighed: "At least half of them have not come."
